When the Uzbek girl Dilsra firstly met what seemed mre like a Western-style dragn than a Chinese ne, a beast t run away frm her rather than
a friend t be respected, she was at a lss abut it. “Befre cllege, I caught an interview n TV featuring an Uzbek student studying in China, she
tweeted. Hwever, I didn’t have the slightest idea that this language wuld be my future majr in cllege. Then, when I started studying it at cllege,
h, jeez …pretty challenging! ” Nevertheless, as with a dragn stry, there is a twist in the tail, and Dilsra’s despair gave way t nbler principles.
“Give up? Npe! Instead, I pressed n with Chinese. ” she added with a giggle, “My mther als encuraged me all the way! ”
Gradually, her feelings tward Chinese changed in the secnd year f cllege after Dilsra gt a schlarship t study at Nrtheast Nrmal University
in Changchun fr a year, which prved a big turn n the pages f her fulfilling life.
“The first time I came t China, amazingly engaging were the lcals, by whm I was ttally fascinated. In spite f myself, I fell in lve with Chinese
culture. ” Since then she has gt master's and dctral degrees, becming a cllege teacher in Beijing, teaching Uzbek t Chinese students. In her spare
time, being an all-nighter, she ften lses herself in Chinese masterpieces. Tw years later, n Instagram, she even set up a Chinese Reading Club t
attract mre t read.
“Althugh I am rdinary, ” just as she, nw the bss f the Reading Club, matter-f-factly put it, “since I’ve cme this far, I am t cme further.
Harvesting the best utcme is my lasting dream. ” Thse primary schlers hearing the tale f Dilsra devting s much t Chinese learning might be
several times mre likely t learn Chinese hard than thse wh didn’t, as Jimu news staff predicted.

Besides, Dilsra has answered anther calling: translating bks by Chinese president int Uzbek. She said the leader’s fresight has impressed her
greatly.

“Why des grandpa have ear hair?” Just a few years ag my child was s curius t knw “why” and “hw” that we had t cut ff her
questins five minutes befre bedtime. Nw a sn-t-be furth grader, she says that she dislikes schl because “it’s nt fun t learn.” I am
shcked. As a scientist and parent, I have dne all t prmte a lve f learning in my children. Where did I g wrng?
My child’s experience is nt unique. Psychlgist Susan Engel ntes that curisity — defined as “spntaneus (自发的) investigatin and eagerness
fr new infrmatin” — drps greatly in children by the furth grade.
In Wnder: Childhd and the Lifelng Lve f Science, Yale psychlgist Frank C. Keil details the develpment f wnder — a spntaneus passin
t explre, discver, and understand. He takes us n a jurney frm its early develpment, when wnder drives cmmn sense and scientific reasning,
thrugh the drp-ff in wnder that ften ccurs, t the trap f life in a sciety that denies wnder.
As Keil ntes, children are rich in wnder while they are rapidly develping causal mechanisms (因果机制) in the preschl and early elementary
schl years. They are sensitive t the thers’ knwledge and gals, and they expertly use their desire fr questining. Children’s questins,
particularly thse abut “why” and “hw,” supprt the develpment f causal mechanisms which can be used t help their day-t-day reasning.
Unfrtunately, as Keil ntes, “adults greatly underestimate (低估) yung children’s causal mechanisms.” In the bk, Wnder, Keil shws that we
can supprt children’s nging wnder by playing games with them as partners, encuraging questin-asking, and fcusing n their abilities t reasn
and cnclude.
A decline in wnder is nt unavidable. Keil reminds us that we can accept wnder as a psitive quality that exists in everyne. I value wnder
deeply, and Wnder has given me hpe by suggesting a future fr my children that will remain wnder-full.
【小题1】Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic f the passage in paragraph 1?
A．By listing sme statistics.
B．By presenting an explanatin.
D．By asking sme questins.
C．By making sme cmparisn.
【小题2】What is a cmmn prblem amng furth graders?
A．They anny their parents t ften.
B．They ask t many strange questins.
C．Their desire fr fun disappears quickly.
D．Their desire t learn weakens sharply.
【小题3】What can be inferred abut children’s causal mechanisms in paragraph 4?
A．They cntrl children’s sensitivity.
B．They slightly change in early childhd.
C．They hardly supprt children’s reasning.
D．They develp by children’s questining.
【小题4】What is the text?

A．A news reprt.
B．A bk review.
C．A research paper.
D．A children’s stry.
Many hed and aahed after Sra amazed the wrld with its superb ability f creating vides directly frm text instructins. Discussins abut what
the artificial intelligence mdel can d t make a difference cntinue.
Sme said it culd be a blw t traditinal industries such as film and televisin making, lking frward t the day when a mvie can be created
right after a nvel is put int the mdel. But thers remain dubtful abut hw pwerful the nvel mdel can be in changing the landscape f AI
applicatin.
The text-t-vide mdel, develped by a grup f yung talent frm Micrsft-backed cmpany Open AI, can prduce vides up t a minute lng
while keeping visual quality, challenging AI prducts by Musk t sme extent.
“Sra marks a great advance in the field f AI-generated cntent (AIGC).” Shen Yang, a prfessr in Tsinghua , argued. As ne f the leading
schlars in AI research in China, Shen leads a team cnducting studies f the philsphy f AI. Shen sang high praises f Sra because, even if satisfied
with his team’s AI-generated vides after a tw-minute vide n the Spring Festival prduced by Shen’s team had recently made waves n scial
media platfrms, he said, “Cmpared with the new mdel Sra, what we used are tls f the previus generatin. There’s a huge gap in between…”
Shen highlighted that nt nly des the technlgy cntribute t his prductivity, but it als benefits his daily life. His wife was suffering frm
cancer, and he used Sra t assist in finding treatment, greatly prlnging (延长) her life. He even wrte a science fictin nvel using Sra.
Hwever, new technlgies may nt be gd news t everyne. Many als cncern abut AI mdels’ safety since related rules are far frm enugh
.
Sra is ging t bring abut changes in many fields. There is still much rm t imprve AI mdels. Fr instance, current AI mdels can’t draw
characters accurately and quickly. Shp signs lack meaning in Sra’s dem (示范性的) vide shwing a wman walking dwn a street in Tky. But these
prblems are believed t be settled as mdels update.
【小题1】Why des the authr mentin peple’s different pinins twards Sra in paragraph 2?
A．T advertise pen AI.
B．T reflect the cnflicts.
C．T intrduce Shen’s attitude.
D．T praise the significance f Sra.
【小题2】What kind f attitude des Shen have twards Sra?
A．Uncncerned.
B．Objective.
C．Favrable.
D．Reserved.
【小题3】What might reflect the disadvantages f Sra accrding t the passage?
A．N safety rules.
B．Nt enugh accuracy if drawing quickly.
C．N mdel updating.
D．Nt enugh lgic if shwing vides
【小题4】Which f the fllwing is the best title?
A．Sra: An AI vide
B．Shen Yang: a vide-making pineer
D．Shen Yang and AI-generated vides
C．Sra: A Pwerful AI Tl

Jessica wasn’t ding well enugh at schl, r at least she wasn’t satisfied with herself. She wished she culd d better.
“Let’s review the material we learned in the last unit,” the histry teacher said. “Wh can tell us what caused the War f 1812?” Jessica sat at

Alisn dwn in the middle f a desert, and within five minutes she’d be able t tell yu the best way t get hme.

Histry class finally ended, and Jessica headed fr the gym. The class had been playing basketball. Alisn, wh was as tall and thin and attractive as a
