Abut 2,400 years ag in ancient Greece, Aristtle was brn. It was a perid when the Greeks highly respected great thinkers and teachers, such as Pythagras, Scrates, Demcritus, and Plat. Many histrians believe that Aristtle was greater than all f them.
Aristtle is called “the father f bilgy”. Many f his discveries are still cnsidered crrect tday. Fr example, it was Aristtle wh first wrte that dlphins are nt fish — thrugh clse bservatin, he had fund ut that they give birth t their babies rather than laying eggs, and that mther dlphins feed milk t their yung.
Aristtle’s way f gruping animals may have been his mst imprtant achievement in bilgical science. He placed the animals int tw grups: thse with bld and thse withut. Experts used his system fr ver 2,000 years. In 1758, a Swedish scientist discvered a new way f gruping animals. In fact, Aristtle’s way f gruping, thugh a little bit different, were apprximately the same as the mdern gruping system f vertebrates and invertebrates.
Prfessr Nard wrte: “Althugh Aristtle paid much attentin t the imprtance f evidence (证据), he failed t realize that ding experiment is almst always the best methd f finding it. Yet, when he did simple and basic experiments, Aristtle was able t make mstly crrect cnclusins.”

Passage 10（2023年广州一模试题）
Isaac Newtn was brn n Christmas Day, 1642. Frm the very first Newtn was very much interested in the mysteries f nature. Why did bjects mve? Why culd we see that stnes rlled dwn hills, wind blew leaves alng the grund, and heavy bjects fell t the earth when drpped?
At the age f twenty-three, Isaac Newtn mved frm Cambridge t his cuntry hme. There, his thughts turned t the prblems f mtin (运动定律). As Newtn himself later tld the stry, he was sitting in the garden ne evening, thinking, when he nticed a falling apple. The apple set him t wndering abut the mvement f falling bjects.
It ccurred t him that the frce which caused fruit t fall frm trees wrked as well at greater distances frm the center f the earth—n tp f buildings r even n tp f muntains. Perhaps, thught Newtn, this same frce reached ut much farther still, even t the mn. Newtn began t search fr a mathematical expressin f his idea.
In 1669, Newtn became a prfessr f mathematics at Cambridge. Three years later, he jined the Ryal Sciety. Befre lng, Newtn began again t study the prblems f mtin. At last, he seemed t have slved the main difficulties, but he did nt publish his findings at nce.
Only in 1687 did he at last publish his new thery. Newtn’s great wrk, The Mathematical Principles f Natural Philsphy, marked the success f the Scientific Revlutin. Newtn put the famus three laws f mtin in it. Newtn was sn recgnized as the leader f English science. In 1703, he became the president f the Ryal Sciety.
Science was never quite the same after Newtn’s discveries. N wnder that the eighteenth-century pet Ppe, lking back at Newtn’s wrk, wrte: Nature and Nature’s laws lay hid in night; Gd said, Let Newtn be!—And all was light.
Newtn, hwever, never rested n his fame (名望). He cntinued t wrk and study. In his last years, he nce said t a friend, “I d nt knw what I may appear t the wrld, but t myself I seem t have been nly like a by, playing n the seashre, and nw and then finding a smther pebble (鹅卵石) r a prettier shell, while the great cean f truth lay undiscvered befre me.”

Passage 1（2023年中考试题）
When the famus scientist Albert Einstein was 16 years ld, he imagined himself riding alngside a beam (束) f light. He used this picture in mind t help him when wrking ut the “thery f relativity(相对论)”. “Imaginatin is mre imprtant than knwledge,” said Einstein.
Daydreaming, called “thught experiments” by Einstein, can make yu have wild imaginings, like flying arund in space. It lets yur mind walk slwly arund ideas, memries and experiences that aren’t happening right nw. It means thinking ahead t a hliday r remembering hw much yu enjyed a birthday party. Accrding t China’s health authrities(权威机构), daydreaming fr a while each day can imprve yur health and creativity.
Disappearing int a daydream lets yur mind escape when things are difficult. It helps yu deal with wrries and fears. Fr example, imagining hw yu’re ging t speak up in class is like practicing the scene in yur head, which can make yu feel calmer. Daydreaming als inspires creativity and lets yu find new wrlds where there are n limits (限制) t what yu can d r wh yu are.

Passage 2（2023年广州中考试题）
Peple believe that every wrd has its crrect meaning(s). When we are nt sure, we usually check nline, r turn t ur teachers r dictinaries. But d yu knw hw dictinaries were made in the past?
Dictinary writers first read the imprtant bks f the perid r the subject that the dictinary was abut. As they read, they cpied necessary infrmatin n cards: interesting wrds, cmmn wrds—bth in their daily uses and unusual uses, and als the sentences where they were used. That is t say, the wrds, alng with the uses f each wrd, were cllected. Fr a really big dictinary, millins f such cards were cllected. This task culd last fr years. As the cards were cllected, they were put in alphabetical rder (A—Z). When this was dne, there wuld be several hundred cards fr each single wrd.
Then, t define (定义) a wrd, the dictinary writer placed its hundreds f cards befre him. He read the cards clsely, threw away sme, read the rest again, and divided up the cards accrding t what he thught were the cmmn uses f the wrd. Finally, he wrte the definitins, fllwing the hard-and-fast rule: each definitin must cme frm an example n a certain card in frnt f him.
S, the writing f a dictinary was nt a task f inventing meanings f wrds, but a task f recrding their meanings. The writer f a dictinary was a histrian, nt a law maker.
As time develps, the way f prducing dictinaries has greatly changed. Nwadays, we can use nline dictinaries t. When chsing ur wrds in speaking r writing, we can be guided by the dictinary. Hwever, we cannt be cntrlled by it, because new situatins, new experiences, new inventins, and new feelings, are always pushing us t give new uses t ld wrds.

Scientists have develped a way t read minds, translating unspken thughts int written wrds. It’s the first time it’s been dne withut having t put anything int the brain. They used artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能). It is the name given t a cmputer system that is able t “think” fr itself and carry ut tasks that usually require human intelligence.
Scientists used a special scanner (扫描器). The machine can see where bld runs, which shws the parts f the brain that are mst active. Peple taking part in the experiment (实验) listened t the radi fr 16 hurs as their brains were scanned. The AI tl learned t cnnect certain brain activity with wrds they heard. After that, each persn was asked t think f a stry, and the AI tl managed t pick up these thughts as they happened.
The results had abut a 50% accuracy rate (准确率), althugh the AI fund it hard t wrk ut the meaning f prnuns, such as he r she, her r him. Fr example, it turned “I dn’t have my driver’s license yet” int “She has nt even started t learn t drive yet.” It culd usually understand the meaning f what smene was thinking rather than the exact wrds. The AI was persnalized, s when it had learnt frm ne persn but it was tested n anther, it culdn’t understand their thughts.
The scientists, wh have been wrking n the technlgy fr 15 years, say they understand the risks f it being used badly. Scientist Jerry Tang tld a newspaper, “We want t make sure peple nly use these types f technlgies when they want t, and that it helps them.” The scientists hpe it will help peple with certain medical cnditins, wh are still awake but have lst the ability t speak, t cmmunicate nce again.

We all enjy being part f a grup—there’s n better wrk than teamwrk, right? Actually, I disagree. Teamwrk can be hard. In fact, it was s difficult that I left my ffice jb and started wrking frm hme n my wn. It’s a much better fit fr me, and it has made me think abut why teamwrk can make ur jbs harder rather than easier.
Persnalities (个性) can make teamwrk difficult. There’s ften smene n the team that puts their needs first. The team ften ges alng with this persn, whse ideas might nt be the best, just the ludest. Just ne difficult persnality can make teamwrk hard. Cmbine (结合) several challenging persnality types, and it’s even harder.
Nt having enugh time tgether can als make teamwrk challenging. Fr example, I was nce n a team where we never had enugh time t meet as a grup. T successfully wrk as a team, yu need time tgether—and lts f it.
A final reasn teamwrk is difficult is because there’s ften n training n hw t wrk n a team. Yu can’t just put peple in a rm and expect them t wrk well with each ther. Yu need t build trust with yur team members. Think f ftball players: They aren’t just given a ball and tld t play. They practice, and they train.
Team can be hard, but wrking alne has its challenges, t. When my cmputer desn’t wrk, I dn’t have an IT persn t turn t. When I have a great idea, I dn’t have anyne t share it with t see if it really is a great idea. Dn’t get me wrng—I still like my team f ne and enjy making all f the imprtant decisins myself. But nw I realize what was wrng with the teamwrk I did in the past and hw gd teamwrk culd be if dne crrectly. And that’s useful infrmatin—because ne day I might want t turn my ME TEAM int a WE TEAM.

As a result f this example in the family, my parents strngly asked me t g t the cllege instead f a cnservatry (音乐学院) f music even if I lved my vilin and spent mst f my spare time n it.
