Diary Entries: My Life Without Phone&Social Media
Day 1: Ugh, Mom took my phone yesterday to help me focus. Seriously I feel like my arm is missing. How am I supposed to talk to friends What if someone texts me and I miss it At lunch, I just stared at my food. Bored. Anxious!Day 3: Terrible! Forgot to check the weather because no phone. Got wet through in the rain after school. Everyone laughed. I wanted to post a complaint, but…no apps. Day 5: Woke up early (no late-night scrolling). Actually finished homework before dinner. Mom said, “You’re less angry.” Hmm. After class, Jamie asked why I’m offline. We talked in real life about math homework. Felt. . . normal Day 10: Okay, BIG surprise: I joined the after-school basketball team. Never had time before. My shots are terrible, but the team high-fived me anyway. Laughed so hard my stomach hurt. Also, read a whole book chapter without checking DDL Who am I Day 15: Met Sarah at the park. She said, You’re always smiling now. I didn’t even notice. We fed ducks and talked about dumb stuff (like her cat’s haircut). No filters, no likes—just fun. At home, Mom hugged me and said, “Proud of you.” Weird… but nice.

（2025·上海松江·二模）In December, China’s immigration (移民) department introduced new policies (政策) to make it easier for foreigners to visit the country. However, there are still some problems that need to be fixed to make their stay more comfortable.
1.Limited Homestay Choices
Homestays allow travelers to stay in local homes instead of hotels. They are very popular in many countries because they are usually cheaper and let visitors experience local culture. However, there are not many homestays available to foreigners in China. The government should encourage more people to open their homes to travelers.
2.Payment Problems
China is now a cashless society. Most people pay by scanning QR codes with their mobile phones instead of in cash. But in many other countries, digital (數字的) payments are not common. So foreigners often find it difficult to pay for things in China. The government has tried to help by allowing them to use credit cards, but the process is still not smooth. Many foreigners have difficulty paying for buses, trains, restaurants, hotels, and tourist attractions.
3.Language Barriers
Although around 200 million Chinese people know some English or other foreign languages, communication is still difficult for visitors. In many places, English signs contain mistakes, which can be confusing or even funny. The government should launch a campaign to correct these errors. Also, police officers, taxi and bus drivers, shop assistants, and restaurant staff should receive foreign language training, so that they can be more of help to foreign visitors.
4.Public Toilets Need Improvements
China has more than 500,000 public toilets, and they are usually free. However,
China has made great progress in making the country more welcoming to foreign visitors. But we still need to do more to make China a foreign visitor friendly country.
7．Foreign visitors meet some problems when travelling in China, don’t they
8．Why are homestays popular in many other countries

All year, I’d been wishing to be part of the pet-care team, and last month, my wish finally came true! Along with Mike and Linda, I was responsible for taking care of our class pet. We took turns giving Larry the Lizard fresh water and food, cleaning his terrarium and singing him songs.
But one morning when we came into the classroom, Larry was nowhere to be seen. As soon as we told Mr. Jones, he called for everyone’s attention. “Let’s take a 10-minute break for Operation Lizard Hunt. Leave no stone or notebook unturned!” Even with our whole class searching, we did not find Larry. My mind turned into a worry machine, thinking of all the disasters that might happen to Larry. I felt my heart racing and my brain was a mess.
After school, Mr. Jones agreed to let our pet-care team do one last search. “You know,” said Mike, “it might be a good idea to try putting ourselves in Larry’s shoes.” We laughed. “Those would be some tiny shoes,” I said. “But it is a good idea. Let’s have a try.” The laughter made me feel better.
Mike thought for a minute. “If I were Larry, I’d probably be hungry. Maybe we should make a trail of snacks leading to his house.”
“Good idea,” I said. “If I were Larry, I’d probably be getting a bit cold. We could make a warm spot outside his terrarium to invite him home.”
“Good idea,” said Linda. “And since Larry always gets excited when we sing to him, a special song might remind him to come back.”
That’s what we did. And then we took turns making up a funny song. This is how our “Come Back, Larry” song went:
Are you having an adventure in space, Larry
Did you become a tiny cowboy in the west Or did you join a lizard circus
Walking on a tightrope (繩索) in the sky
Just as Linda sang the word “sky”, she looked up and found Larry was high on the ceiling. The next thing we knew, our little escape artist was back in his terrarium. Next time when worries stop me from solving a problem, I know there are two steps to follow: First, ___________. Next, ___________.
13．What was Larry the Lizard
14．Why did Mr. Jones ask students to take a 10-minute break
15．What did Mike mean by saying “putting ourselves in Larry’s shoes”
16．What did Linda suggest doing to invite Larry to go home
17．Where was Larry found, on the ceiling or on a tightrope

（2025·上海普陀·二模）Before the vacation, Finn tried to get a cell phone from his parents. But Mrs. Fogg just gave him an old digital camera. Finn had no choice but to take it.
The Foggs spent their first day in Paris at the Louvre Museum. They saw a thousand works of art, including the Mona Lisa. What Finn enjoyed most, though, was watching a young woman sketching (給……畫素描) the famous painting. Finn asked if they could take a photo together. The woman smiled warmly as he took their picture.
Finn found his sister and said, “This lady is amazing. You should see her work!”
Franny’s eyes were stuck on her phone, though. “Not now,” she said. “This video about Leonardo da Vinci is so so great!”
The next day, the Foggs ate at an outdoor café near the River Seine. The waiter brought dessert. “This is delicious!” Finn exclaimed.
“That is crème brülée (焦糖布丁),” the waiter said. Finn asked the waiter to take a picture of him posing with his new favorite dessert.
“Oooh, look at this recipe for crème brülée,” Mrs. Fogg said, checking her phone. “I’ll make it when we get home.” By the time she put her phone down, the waiter had cleared their plates and it was time to leave. “What a pity!” Mrs. Fogg complained.
On the last day of the trip, the Foggs went to the Eiffel Tower. Finn used his camera to shoot a video of them rising above the city in the glass elevator. “Look, Dad! We can see Notre Dame Cathedral from here!”
Mr. Fogg was looking at his phone, however. “Did you know there’s a replica (復制品) of the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas But it’s only half-size!” Finn sighed (嘆氣).
On the flight home the next morning, Finn sat next to Franny. “That was the best vacation ever,” he said.
He was looking through his photos and videos. Franny was looking over his shoulder. “Did we go there ” she asked, pointing at a photo.
“Of course,” Finn replied. “The Arc de Triomphe.” Finn showed a family photo he had taken. In the photo, Mr. Fogg, Mrs. Fogg and Franny were all standing in front of the Arc de Triomphe—staring at their phones.

I dropped the milk buckets (桶) and rushed to Mum. She was standing by the bam (谷倉) door, fingers pressed to her mouth. A large spider (蜘蛛) web spread across the doorway with a fat black spider at its center.

（2025·上海徐匯·模擬預測）There’s a new kind of AI jobs. It pays six - figure salaries. And it doesn’t require a degree in computer engineering coding.
Companies are looking for people to craft prompts that help train AI programs. These people are called prompt engineers (提示工程師). They work on generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT. This is AI that creates content, such as text, audio, video, and images, in response to a user’s request. Prompt engineers train AI to deliver better response.
Anne Bernstein, a prompt engineer at Copy. ai, writes prompts and feeds them into AI tools. This helps the AI generate text, such as a blog post or email, with accurate information and proper tone. She doesn’t need to write code to do this. She simply types instructions.
Bernstein joined Copy. ai in September 2021. “There weren’t many of us prompt engineers,” she says. “For a long time, it really felt like it was just me.” That was about a year before ChatGPT went viral for its ability to generate writing and answer questions. Prompt engineering is now one of the hottest tech jobs.
Job surge (激增)
AI tools need training. At the moment, they provide results that are not always correct or proper. That’s why companies are looking for prompt engineers.
A tech company called Anthropic is advertising a “prompt engineer and librarian.” Applicants must “love solving puzzles.” In Massachusetts, Boston Children’ s Hospital is advertising for a prompt engineer, too.
Rob Lennon is an expert on the topic. He teaches people the skills needed for the job. As of April, about 2,000 students had taken his two online courses. “People are clamoring for this knowledge,” Lennon says.
Will it last
Some say the need for this job will burn out. Ethan Mollick is an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania. “It’s not clear that prompt engineering is going to matter long - term,” he says. “AI programs are getting better at predicting what users need.”
The high salaries may not last either. “These are jobs that probably only 500 people could do right now,” Lennon says. “In six months, 50,000 people will be able to do that job. The value of this knowledge is greater today than it will be tomorrow.”
37．Prompt engineers don’t need a degree in computer engineering or coding, do they
38．What is the main responsibility of a prompt engineer
39．What kind of AI tools do prompt engineers work on
40．Why are companies looking for prompt engineers according to the passage
41．According to Rob Lennon and Ethan Mollick, why might the high salaries for prompt engineers not last in the future
42．Do you think prompt engineering will remain a valuable skill in the future Why or why not
（2025·上海寶山·模擬預測）Are men ten times better at painting than women You might think so if you listened to Georg Baselitz. The German artist once said, “Women don’t paint very well. It’s a fact. The market doesn’t lie.”
On the market, male artists do perform much better than female artists. The most expensive painting ever sold, Salator Mundi (《救世主》) by Leonardo da Vinci, sold for $450 million. The world record set by a female artist,Georgia Q’ Keeffe, was just $44.4 million (see pictures below). The same is true among living artists. British artist Helen Gorrill has studied the prices of 5,000 paintings. She found that for every one pound a male was able to earn for his work, a woman was only able to earn ten pence—one-tenth of a pound.
The painting on the left, by Leonardo da Vinci, is ten times more expensive than the one on the right, by Georgia O’ Keeffe.
Why is there such a big pay gap Could it be that men are simply better at painting Oxford professor of finance Renee Adams decided to find out. In one study, she showed people five paintings by men and five by women. Then, she asked them to guess the gender (性別) of the artists. They were right 50 percent of the time-no better than tossing (拋，扔) a coin. So art by men is no different from, and thus no better than, art by women.
It’s hard to explain the pay gap between male and female artists. For one thing, the world has been ruled by men for much of history. It was hard to find works by female artists in museums, even if they were good. Most museums have never had enough confidence to break this “tradition”. But the value of an artist’s work is unlikely to go up until he or she has been bought by a museum. Moreover, some female artists have even been dropped by museums once they started having babies. The common belief is that, because of this, they will no longer have the necessary time to spend on their careers. So why should people still take their work seriously
The good news is that the world is starting to change. Museums are trying to rebalance their collections. A few are even selling art by men in order to buy more art by women. Prices for work by women are rising 29 percent faster than those for the art that has been created by men.
Women can’t paint well Nonsense. Even the market is telling us so.
43．How much did the world’s most expensive painting sell for
44．What conclusion did Renee Adams draw from her study
45．What does the underline word “tradition” in paragraph 4 refer to
46．Some female artists haven’t been dropped by museums once they started having babies, have they
47．How is the world starting to change the pay gap between male and female artists
48．Do you think the gender of the artist will affect the quality of the artwork Give your reason(s).

Many of us may have experienced the pleasant surprise of seeing recommended (推薦的) songs after we listen to certain songs on a music app. When we open shopping websites, we are more likely to see things on the home page that we might want to buy.
This is based on data (數據). Data is no longer only about numbers, but information from almost every aspect of our lives: our location, shopping habits and interests. All of this is called “big data”.

He also asked for greater use of big data in areas like education, social security and transportation. The past few years have seen big data being used more often in China. The role it plays in tourism is just one example.
The data travelers share online is providing the tourism industry with a lot of information about the country’s scenic areas. After the data is analyzed (分析), different scenic areas can create their own online profiles (簡況) for other travelers to see.

Eton, a ten-year-old boy, used to go for a walk with his father every day on a nearby hill. One day the boy said, “Dad, let’s have a race today. One who touches top of hill first, wins the race.” Father agreed.
Both of them started running toward hilltop. After running for some time, Father suddenly stopped.

A Magic Filter (濾鏡)
Steph just posted (發布) a photo of her brunch with flowers “borrowed” from her neighbor’s garden. It looked perfect thanks to a photo editing app called TrueBeauty. However, the food had turned cold after she had worked on her photo, so she threw it away.
On the other side of the city, Matt tried to take a good gym selfie (自拍照) with cooking oil on his body to make it shiny, but wasn’t happy with the results. Then he saw the ad of TrueBeauty. With one touch, his body looked amazing right away. He posted the photo online and got in the shower to wash the oil off. Both Steph and Matt were surprised to get so many negative comments later. Somehow, Steph’s latest post showed eggs with flies all over them, coffee that looked grey and dead flowers, while Matt’s showed his body being covered in something that looked like dirty butter. They tried to delete the photos but failed. Then they received a message from the app developer:
Dear User,Are you as beautiful inside as you seem outside If you want your pictures to show the real you, try being as beautiful in real life as you are on your social media. Have a truly beautiful day! Love, TrueBeauty PS. Once you use our filter (濾鏡), all your future photos will have it automatically!
To hide the ugly picture, Steph made her account (賬號) private. She didn’t want to do anything if she couldn’t post photos of it on social media. Depressed and empty, Steph went downstairs. There she met Mrs. Robinson in her garden. Without anything else to do, Steph joined her in taking care of her flowers.
The following couple of hours made her feel happy again. Afterward, Mrs. Robinson suggested that they take a selfie together to mark the day.
Steph loved the picture very much. She thought it was a real pity not to share it, so she posted the picture. When it went online, it looked exactly the same! Then she made her account public again and added the text to the photo: “Me and my neighbor in her garden #TrueBeauty.”
As Matt, one of Steph’s followers, read her post, he had an idea. He knocked on his neighbor’s door to offer to help take her rubbish to the bins along with his.
At the recycling bins, Matt took a selfie and posted it online with #TrueBeauty. His picture turned out to be just a smiling guy doing something ordinary. It was a truly beautiful photo.

In the city center, firefighters quickly get ready when they hear the alarm. Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death.
Who would do a job like that Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. One month ago, he signed up for the job. He used to sit in an office of a software company, but now he is trained to break into rooms full of smoke and heat and come up with a rescue strategy.
“I wanted a job where I could be active, work with my hands, learn new practical skills, and face different challenges every day,” That’s quite an understatement (保守說法) to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while fighting against a fire. But Telfer says that flames (火焰) and nerves can be controlled in the same way: through continuous physical and mental training.
Telfer was a runner in college, but now he trains his lungs for dangerous situations instead of races. He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks. He also needs to carry unconscious people to safety. No matter what he’s doing, he has to control his breathing. Panic (恐慌) will only waste his limited air supply.
His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too. When they are not dealing with emergencies, they study many subjects like emergency medicine, structural design, and chemical reactions. They practice quickly assessing (評估) the changing conditions of a fire.
Shifting from a software expert to a first responder was a big change for Telfer. But he says, “I have never once felt that this isn’t the right job for me.” Even though danger might be waiting every day, his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the middle of a fierce fire.
84．Firefighters have to get ready within sixty seconds after hearing the alarm, don’t they
85．When did Sam Telfer become a firefighter
86．Where did Telfer work before becoming a firefighter
87．What physical training does a firefighter take Give an example.
88．How can a firefighter survive a big fire
89．Does Sam Telfer love the job as a firefighter Give your reason.
