24、Shanghainese is a dialect(方言) which is completely different from Mandarin(普通话), Shanghai is part of the Yangtze River Delta region. This region is home to some 220 million people. At first, the region was made up of the Wu people, who spoke a family of dialects known as Wu Chinese, with 80 million native speakers. Shanghainese is one of them.

Way back in 1950, Mandarin, a dialect from Beijing, became China’s official language. Then in 1992, Shanghainese was banned from use at school when the government pushed for a Mandarin education system.

Many local children today can understand the language, but they can’t speak it well. That’s mainly because Shanghainese is passed on only through family and not formal education.

Luckily, there is the only school in Shanghai still teaching the dialect, LTL Mandarin School. The teacher, Alex Wang, says that, the best way to learn Shanghainese is to find some local friends and make them your personal teacher every time you meet up with them.

Since 2005, efforts have been made to protect Shanghainese. They include more TV programs in Shanghainese, more study of the language, and even use of Shanghainese on some public transport.

One of the people helping pass the language on to today’s youth is Wang Yuanchao who writes and records songs in Shanghainese for school children. “I realize that fewer and fewer kids can speak Shanghainese,” he said.“So I want to give them more opportunities to sing and act out Shanghainese.”

26、①As we all know, “If you want to get rich, build roads first.” Railway projects under the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) have been interconnecting countries in Southeast Asia, bringing common development and friendship.

②The China-Laos Railway is a landmark project of the BRI. Running 1,035 kilometers, it connects Kunming with Laos’ capital Vientiane. It started operation on Dec 3, 2021. The China-Laos Railway had transported over 100,000 cross-border passengers, reported Xinhua.

③According to Xinhua, Liu Jin, one of the first passengers of the railway, had used to travel to Laos eight times, usually by bus and the journey lasted more than 27 hours on winding mountain roads. Now, the travel time between the cities has been shortened to 9 hours and 26 minutes.

④However, the China-Laos Railway isn’t the only China-supported railway bringing benefits to people in Belt and Road countries. The 142.3-kilometer-long Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway (HSR) has been officially in operation since Oct 2, 2023. Being a flagship project of the BRI, it is also the first overseas construction project that fully uses Chinese railway systems, technology and industrial components (零件).

⑤ “Across Indonesia, people from more than 17,000 islands now come to Jakarta to take the high-speed rail,” Chen Xianmou, a Chinese-Indonesian, proudly told China Daily at the railway station. “It’s not only a landmark of Indonesia but also a representation of China’s tech power,” he added.

⑥Besides building railroads, China also plans to exchange the technology to Indonesia to help the local people to operate the high-speed railway system on their own in the coming years. To achieve this goal, China has trained more than 45,000 Indonesian technicians, reported China Daily.

D．China will make Indonesia able to operate the high-speed railway system alone.

27、Recently, some people have complained about the purposefully addictive (上瘾的) designs of smartphones and social media, which make it hard for anyone to put them down, especially teens. Now, a new report in Emotion gives facts that back up what these people said.

According to the report, young people’s life satisfaction and happiness have dropped since 2012, the year the percentage of teens owning smartphones started increasing rapidly. The report also finds that teens’ psychological (心理的) health gets worse the more hours a week they spend on screens.   

Jean Twenge is the lead writer of the report. She graphed (制图) the connection between happiness and screen activities, such as social media, texting, gaming, and video chats. She also graphed the connection between happiness and non-screen activities, including sports, reading, and face-to-face communications. She called the relationship between screen and non-screen activities “zero sum”—if you are doing one, it takes time away from the others.

Diane Tanman complains that her sons are like that. They are 11 and 15. They used to play games in fields, and it made them happier. These days, her sons are more into online games. Many of the games have rewards (奖励) built in to keep players coming back. “It’s just junk food for the brain,” Tanman said.

Ed Lazzara says his 12-year-old son Leo is a fan of video games. After playing a lot, Leo gets more upset and uncomfortable. He wants his son to play fewer video games.

However, totally staying away from electronic devices (设备) doesn’t lead to happiness, either. Twenge and her co-writers found that the happiest teens used electronic devices a little less than an hour daily. After a daily hour of screen time, unhappiness rises in relation to increasing screen time.

Spending time in front of a screen is a normal part of being a teenager. Many schools require students to be online and to use iPads or other devices to do their work. But teachers and parents have also complained that technology can get in the way of learning when teens use their devices for things other than their studies.

If we recognize how screen time influences young minds, we can help teens use technology better and protect their psychological health in the process. Screen time is like ice cream. Sure, we can have some once in a while, but it shouldn’t be part of our everyday lives.

【1】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Screen time at home is not as beneficial as screen time at school.

B．Nearly an hour of screen time every day makes teens happiest.

C．Technology should be encouraged in classroom learning.

D．What teens do on the screen influences their happiness.

【2】Why does the passage give the examples of families with teens?

A．To prove the bad effect of the addictive designs of electronic devices.

B．To show parents have little control over their teens’ screen time.

C．To compare different-aged teens’ feelings about screen use.

D．To explain why electronic devices make teens feel happy.

【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Use of Electronic Devices: Should We Consider Teens’ Needs?

B．Teens’ Psychological Health: Why Is It Important?

C．Screen Time and Teens’ Study Performance

D．Screen Time and Teens’ Life Satisfaction

28、   Life as Chopsticks

Right now, more and more people are digging into their food with two sticks which 【1】(call) chopsticks. Even people eating with 【2】(knife) and forks begin to love them. What’s so special about them? Because they have deep【3】(influent) on many people’s ways of life.

Simplicity. There’s hardly anything 【4】(simple) than chopsticks. With new technology developing every day, there’s still something that has just one use---simply to eat. The chopsticks don’t cost much. In real life, we don’t need to keep 【5】(improve) things all the time.

Aim. When using chopsticks, you cannot pick up everything in one go. Know what you want and just do it. Sometimes, a little bit of focus makes the difference【6】 failure and success.

Practice. Using chopsticks doesn’t come 【7】(nature). You have to learn to use them and practice it. Most would agree that there’s no better way 【8】 to practice. In real life, you may have many things you want to do, but it will just be 【9】 dream if you don’t try doing it.

Slowing down. A healthy way to eat is to eat with chopsticks. It slows you down and it【10】(allow) your stomach to tell your brain you are full before you overeat. In our life, we sometimes need to slow down to have time to think, to realize that we’re actually full and don’t have to rush full speed through life.
