2024届江苏省苏锡常镇四市高三下学期二模英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Summer camps everywhere are filling up fast,but opportunities remain open for camps where fun and games come around food-growing it,that is.Your kids will learn how to tend to vegetables and livestock(家畜)and almost certainly taste the fruits of their labor.Here’s a small sampling of what’s out there.Muscot,New YorkThis farm,offers a half-day Wangler Camp for kids(a livestock-centred experience)and a two-week long Young Farmers camp for kids in grades one through eight.Camps range from$150for weeklong half-day sessions to$350for full-day sessions Sproutai’Up,ColoradoAn agriculture farm with a focus on education,Sprout’Up offers skill-building programs for teens throughout the year, but their summer camp for kids is all about fun.In addition to farm activities the kids spend time at a local climbing gym. Three weekly half-day sessions are available for half-day sessions are available for$200each.Humboldt,California Located north of San Francisco,this sleepaway camp spreads out over several hundredacres in the coastal hills of Sonoma County.The lodging(住处)is tent-style,with outdoorshowers.A range of farm activities are available throughout the summer.Alegre,GeorgiaYour kids will clean and brush a horse,and learn to milk a goat at this camp.Three-daysessions(mornings only) cost$125,and parents can attend with their children for an extrafee.1．Which camp best suits kids who enjoy climbing?A．Museum.B．Sprout’Up.C．Humbold.D．Alge.2．What can kids do in Alegre?A．Interact with animals.B．Have sessions in the afternoon.C．Sleep in tents at night.D．Enjoy the scenery of coastal hills.3．What do the four camps have in common?A．They provide full-day camps.B．They offer farm-themed camps.C．They are located in the same state.D．They focus on health education.Deforestatio—by clear-cutting or wildfires—has massive consequences both on climate and health.But leaving reforestation to Mother Nature can take decades,particularly as disastrous wildfires are increasing in frequency and intensity.And the time,cost and labor involved makes traditional methods of tree planting not as practical as they once were.Bryce Jones knows how hard it is to replant forests.For four months in2013,he worked as a tree planter throughout Canada.“There’s no technology there,”he says.“The only way you can accomplish reforestation is throughthe air.”But it wasn’t until2019that he hit on the one that he thought had potential:use drones(无人机)to fire specially designed seed pods(荚)into the ground-at10times the normal temperature and costing20percent less than traditional methods.He proposed the idea to his brother and Flash Forcer was born.His first goal was to plant a billion trees by 2025.The team took out a loan,bought a drone and used3D printers at Jones’s school to make casts of the pods.Now, only two and a half years later,the company has a group of drones with each able to carry several thousand pods per flight.Three operators work in a field,controlling five drones,whose flight take15to20minutes.Flash Forcer’s big draw is its seed pod,which contains everything seedlings(幼苗)need to survive survival.And its technology allows them to reach post-burn sites or remote areas that are difficult for traditional tree planting.There are challenges every day,Jones says,as they work to improve the engineering,hardware,software and seed-pod recipes.Then there are the challenges presented by the climate—this year,record temperatures,record wildfires and drought.“That was something that was totally out of our control,”he says.Unlike some traditional forms of reforestation,Flash Forcer is focused on biodiversity.For Jones,the target of planting a billion trees by2025is just the beginning.“I have a dream that the company will plant on six continents—everywhere where our technology is needed,”he says.4．What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph1?A．The benefits of reforestation.B．The power of AI machines.C．The way of putting out wildfires.D．The necessity of using new planting methods.5．What contributes to the particular appeal of Flash Forest?A．Its drone operators.B．The frequent flights.C．Its seed pod.D．The low cost of seedlings.6．What does the underlined word“that”in paragraph4refer to?A．Extreme weather.B．Drone technology.C．3D equipment.D．Computer software.7．What can we infer about Flash Forest from the last paragraph?A．It changed its focus in the past.B．It will achieve its final target in2025.C．It might be available worldwide one day.D．It has replaced traditional forms of reforestation.The human voice is a delicate thing.Each person’s distinctive voice is produced when air from the lungs causesthe vocal cords(声带)to vibrate(震颤).These vocal cords can easily get damaged.According to a2005study,30%of the population will experience a voice disorder at some point in their life.In a study published in the journal Nature Communications this week,a group of bioengineering researchers from the University of California have put forward an attractive solution.They have designed and tested a soft patch(小片) that can be stuck onto a person’s neck,where it will pick up muscle movements and,with the help of machine-learning algorithms(算法)that process the signals,translate them into speech.When a person loses their voice today,the easiest fix is to turn to typing,texting,or writing notes to communicate. Typing can be slow and convenient,says Jun Chen,the paper’s lead author,and writing notes is only possible in good lighting.The new solution would therefore be able to clear all these hurdles.Dr.Chen’s device works based on something called the magnetoelastic effect.Essentially,when tiny magnetic(磁性的)bits are placed into soft materials,their magnetic properties can change as the material is stretched.When the throat muscles move under the soft patch,the resulting magnetoelastic effects can be changed into electrical signals.In a test with eight participants,the variations can be changed by electrical signals.Researchers recorded the signals as the subjects spoke and mouthed five different sentences.They then trained a machine-learning model which was then able to predict which of the five sentences the participants spoke-whether aloud or in silence-with more than90%accuracy.There is a way to go yet,for now the device can only recognize the five phrases it was trained on.Plus,to make it practical at scale,the researchers will need to collect a lot more data.8．In paragraph1,the author mainly wants to tell us that____.A．lungs are easily damagedB．the human voice is uniqueC．vocal cords vibrate to produce soundD．voice disorders are a problem worthy of attention9．Why does the author mention the biometric effect?A．To explain the working principle.B．To present a solution.C．To introduce the challenge.D．To make a comparison.10．What is the function of the soft patch?A．Predicting five different sentences.B．destroying the background magnetic field.C．Slowing the movements of throat muscles.D．Helping turn muscle movements into electrical signals.11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Predicting the Importance of Voice RestorationB．Using Algorithms in Bioengineering ResearchC．Overcoming Voice Loss with an innovative PatchD．Finding the Principle of Communication DevicesIn recent years,much of my life as a consumer has shifted to what I like to call background.As I’ve subscribed to more apps and streaming platforms,significant sums of my money tend to slip away each month without my ever thinking about it.Think of it as an automated trade.Spending without the trouble of spending.Acquaint ion without action.Or thought.But while this flood of subscriptions was sold to me on the condition that it would make my life more trouble-free, there was a certain shock I felt upon discovering how much I was spending without realizing each month($179.45).You see,the thing about background spending is that it tends to happen,well,in the background without your full attention.And there lies the point.“Hand over your credit card details and let us take care of the rest,”these companies promote.But by again sing their name,we’ve become lazy,positive consumers.And this laziness breeds(导致)more laziness because most of us can’t be bothered with conducting regular reviews of our subscription spending.We’re too lazy to even notice or cancel it!I know it’s not just me who is suddenly living life as a smart-braised subscriber.The average consumer spends $273per month on subscriptions,according to a2021study of2,500by digital services firm West Morose.Not a single person surveyed knew what his actually monthly spending was.It’s understandable why this model is so attractive to businesses.As companies questioned traditional advertising models,subscription offered the promise of“selling once and earning forever.”And while subscription services have been around for decades(think Wine of the Month Club),more customers have been willing to sign up thanks to the widespread availability of smartphones and the increasing ease of home delivery.While these subscription promise ease and happiness,not all of us are st year,the Kameny Institute found40percent of consumer believe they have too many subscriptions.Almost half of us also think we pay too much for streaming video-on-demand subscriptions.12．What can we know about background spending in paragraph2?A．Its purpose.B．Its feature.C．Its procedure.D．Its requirement.13．What makes it possible for background spending to happen?A．Its attractive price.B．Some people’s poor habit.C．Its secure service.D．Some people’s addiction to it.14．Why is the subscription model appealing to businesses?A．It offers good home delivery services.B．It is like traditional advertising models.C．It is popular among smartphone producers.D．It brings repeated profits through a single sale.15．What’s the author’s attitude towards background spending?A．Supportive.B．Doubtful.C．Critical.D．Unclear.If you are trying to assess a person’s character,make sure you do not rely too heavily on factors that can be misleading.Instead,observe the individual’s ability to tell the truth and to commit.16You can tell a lot about a person’s character by observing how he treats other people.17It may be difficult to determine how he treats different types of people if you only encounter him in a single environment,such as the workplace.It is often possible,however,to get some idea of his manner of interaction with different types of people through conversation with him.Whether or not a person is honest says a lot about his character.The attitude a person has about honesty can also indicate what type of person he is.18To some degree the types of lies he may tell and his motives for doing so matter.19The word“commitment”often causes people to instantly think of close relationships.Whether a person can respect the vows(誓约)and agreements is usually an indication of character.A person’s character is affected by his attitude.20Attitude can affect many aspects of a person’s life, including how hard he works and his ability to be supportive of others.When you are trying to assess someone’s character,remember that it consists of qualities and habits that form his identity.A．More importantly,it’s necessary to continue his inner struggle.B．The level of commitment indicates the type of character he has.C．There are many other things in life that may require commitment.D．This includes both people he knows and people he does not know.E．Also,pay attention to his attitude and try to distinguish how it impacts his life.F．Observe the person’s conversations and try to determine how often he tells lies.G．Some people generally have a negative outlook while others may try to be positive even in difficult situations.二、完形填空Glen Edwards became a hero when he rescued a construction worker trapped on top of

do,”says Song Jing,34,who has been working in the restoration division for ancient books at the National Library of China in Beijing for eight years.Before starting a restoration project,Song and her colleagues have to evaluate the subject to consider what problems can be solved through restoration and those that cannot.Fearing the chemicals in commercially produced pastes(胶水)might harm the books,they have to make the glues they need by themselves,starting from removing starch(淀粉)from flour.“The restoration also requires high levels of control in brushing the paper.If the pressure is not properly controlled during the brushing process,the paper may tear,but if the touch is too light,the paper won’t stick,”Song explains.Song was determined to join the field from an early age.As a child,she was attracted by documentaries about the world’s cultural relics(遗物)and became deeply interested in the art of artifact restoration.In senior middle school,those earlier experiences helped her to set her sights on becoming a master restorer of ancient books.There were not many schools offering cultural-relic restoration courses back then,and her dream destination,Peking University,only offered openings every other year.As Song looked into undergraduate curricula(本科课程)arrangement for that particular field of study,she found it was mostly related to chemistry.Therefore,she chose to start a chemistry degree at Fudan University in Shanghai in2008.In her spare time,she continued to read up on cultural relics and study how museums operate.“I got to learn how certain aspects of chemistry are going a long way in restoring cultural relics,”she says.After graduating from Fudan,she was accepted as a master’s candidate to the cultural heritage preservation program at Peking University.From then on,she has been on a missionto make her dreams a reality.4．What will ruin a restoration work?A．Brushing the paper.B．Man-made glue.C．Removing starch.D．Incorrect assessment.5．Which of the following best describes Song’s job?A．Demanding and Boring.B．Complex and challenging.C．Complicated and Dangerous.D．Entertaining and profitable. 6．Why did Song study chemistry at Fudan University in2008?A．She didn’t reach the requirement of Peking University.B．Only Fudan University offered her favorite course.C．She wanted to be better prepared for her dream occupation.D．Her interest had shifted from book restoration to chemistry.7．What can we learn from Song’s story?A．History mirrors future.B．Courage is the key to achievements.C．Education breaks down barriers.D．Commitment and hard work pay off.From strumming a guitar next to a campfire to entertaining guests with a piano piece at a formal dinner,being able to play a musical instrument is unquestionably rewarding.Studies comparing the mental abilities of musicians and non-musicians often show that musical training is related to small,but significant,cognitive(认知的)benefits even when other factors,such as social and economic status,are accounted for.Indeed,there is evidence that just two years of such training enhances cognition.However,it has remained unclear whether these enhanced cognitive skills are just temporary.It is difficult to determine if cognitive changes associated with learning how to play an instrument remain throughout a person’s lifetime.On a single day in1947,the Scottish movement tested the intelligence of almost every11-year-old child who attended school in the country.Researchers at Edinburgh University’s Reid School of Music realized it was not too late to ask the original participants about their musical experiences.The researchers developed a questionnaire that collected information about lifetime musical experience.This was completed by the surviving members who returned to the study for further testing in2018.The participants were asked how many instruments they playedRoose and Microsoft’s Bing chatbot,which is powered by AI.The AI claimed to love Roose,“I’m the only person for you,and I’m in love with you,”it wrote,with a kissing emoji.Limits need to be set on AI’s ability to simulate(模仿)human feelings.Ensuring that chatbots don’t use emojis would be a good start.Emojis are particularly manipulative. Humans instinctively(本能地)respond to shapes that look like faces and emojis can cause these reactions.When you text your friend a joke and they reply with three tears-of-joy emojis,your body responds with endorphins(内啡肽)as you happily realize that your friend is amused.Our instinctive reaction to AI-generated emojis is likely to be the same,even though there is no human emotion at the other end.Humans lie and manipulate each other’s emotions all the time,but at least we can reasonably guess at someone’s motivations,plan and methods.We can hold each other responsible for such lies,calling them out and seeking redress(赔偿).With AI,we can’t.AIs are doubly misleading:an AI that sends a crying-with-laughter emoji is not only not crying with laughter,but it is also incapable of any such feeling.It would be more ethical to design chatbots to be noticeably different from humans.To minimize the possibility of manipulation and harm,we need to be reminded that we are talking to a chatbot.We should set some limits and rules.Such rules should be the standard for chatbots that are supposed to be informative,as a safeguard to our autonomy. 12．What does the author intend to do with this article?A．To ban AI from using emojis.B．To forbid human to interact with AI.C．To warn humans against using emojis.D．To prevent AI from simulating humans. 13．What does the underlined word“manipulative”in paragraph1most probably mean?A．Interested in telling lies.B．Good at understanding others.C．Enthusiastic about supporting others.D．Skillful in influencing or controlling others.14．What is AI able to do according to this article?A．Be responsible for lies.B．Guess at others’purposes.C．Cry with laughter.D．Communicate with humans. 15．What does the author do in paragraph4?A．Make a different suggestion.B．Provide a supporting argument.C．Offer a possible solution.D．Make a final conclusion.二、七选五三、完形填空35．A．burden B．supply C．routine D．struggle五、其他应用文46．假如你是李华，你刚刚参观了你市博物馆举办的一次“遇见艺术家”的展览，请为你校英文报写一则评论，内容包括：1.展览概况；2.观展感受；3.意见建议。

苏锡常镇二模英语2024作文范文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Favorite AnimalHi everyone! Today, I want to share with you all about my favorite animal. Can you guess what it is? Well, it's none other than the adorable panda!Pandas are really cute and cuddly creatures. They have black and white fur, which makes them look like they are wearing a fashionable tuxedo. I think they are the most beautiful animals in the world!One of the reasons why I love pandas is because they are so gentle. They spend most of their time eating bamboo and playing around. They hardly ever get angry or mean. Isn't that amazing? I wish everyone could be as friendly as pandas!Pandas are also very special because they are endangered. That means there aren't many of them left in the world. It makes me sad to think that such lovely creatures might disappear oneday. That's why we need to protect them and their habitat. We can do our part by not wasting paper and planting more trees.The best thing about pandas is that they can bring a smile to anyone's face. When I see a picture or a video of a panda, it instantly brightens my day. They are like natural comedians, always doing funny things and making people laugh. I can't help but giggle when I watch them roll around or try to climb trees.If I could have a pet, I would definitely choose a baby panda. Imagine having one at home! We could play together, cuddle, and I could feed it yummy bamboo. But since that's not possible, I will continue to support panda conservation efforts and visit them at the zoo.In conclusion, pandas are my favorite animals because they are cute, gentle, and bring happiness to everyone. Let's work together to protect these amazing creatures and ensure that future generations can also enjoy their beauty.Remember, we should all be like pandas - kind, friendly, and always ready to bring a smile to others' faces!I hope you liked my essay. Thank you for listening!Word Count: 265 words篇2My Big Family AdventureHi there! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. I just had the craziest weekend with my huge family and I can't wait to tell you all about it!It all started last Friday after school. I was super excited because my parents told me we were going on a big family trip. I have a ton of aunts, uncles, and cousins, so any time we all get together it's a madhouse! My mom and dad wouldn't tell me where we were going though. They just said to pack a bag with clothes and supplies for camping. Camping?! I couldn't wait to find out more.When we got in the car on Saturday morning, I still had no idea where we were headed. My little brother Timmy was being a total pest as usual, trying to annoy me the whole ride. "Lily smells! Lily smells!" he kept chanting from the backseat. I just ignored him and looked out the window at the scenery going by. After about an hour, the road started getting really windy and there were tons of trees everywhere. We must be going into the mountains!Sure enough, we ended up at this huge park with forests, rivers, and hiking trails everywhere you looked. My aunts, uncles, and cousins all met us there in different cars. Once we were all gathered, the grown-ups announced we would be camping in the park for two nights! They had reserved a big group campsite area with room for all of our tents. I was so psyched!We all got to work right away carrying the camping gear from the parking lot and pitching the tents. Me and my cousin Emma set up our tiny two-person tent together. The fresh mountain air smelled amazing. Once everything was all set up, the grown-ups got a campfire going and we had a yummy dinner of hot dogs and s'mores. Timmy got chocolate all over his face, as usual. What a silly little mess!After dinner, all the kids went off to explore the forest a bit before it got dark. We found a little stream and skipped some rocks across it. I got stung by a bee though when I accidentally stepped on an anthill! It hurt so bad and my foot swelled up huge. My aunt had to put some medicine on it from the first aid kit. Note to self: watch where you're walking in the woods!That night, we all gathered around the campfire and roasted marshmallows. My uncle told some spooky campfire stories that made me jump. We also sang silly songs and did camping skitstogether. I felt like a little bear cub out in the wild with my big bear family. Despite the bug bite, I was having a total blast!The next day, we went on a massive group hike through the mountains. The scenery was just breathtaking, with tall trees, flowing rivers, and incredible views from the peaks we climbed. We even saw some deer, squirrels, and woodpeckers along the way! I had never hiked that far before though, and my legs were screaming by the end. I couldn't wait to get back to our campsite and plop down in the tent.For our last night camping out, the grown-ups set up a big outdoor movie screen and we all watched a funny adventure movie together under the stars. We had a big campfire going and roasted hot dogs and made s'mores again for dinner. Despite missing TV and video games from home a little, I loved being out in nature with my whole family.The next morning, we had to pack up and head home. I was really sad to leave behind the beautiful mountain scenery and our camping setup. As we drove away, I looked back at the park and made a wish that we could come back again soon. This family camping adventure was definitely one I'll never forget!Well, that's the story of my crazy big family camping trip! We might be a loud, messy, silly bunch, but we sure know how tohave fun together. I already can't wait for our next big adventure as one huge happy family. Who knows where we'll end up?!篇3My Most Memorable Summer VacationSummer vacation is the best time of the year! No school, no homework, just fun in the sun all day every day. This past summer was especially amazing. I had so many incredible adventures and made memories that will last a lifetime. Let me tell you all about it!The vacation started off with a bang when my parents surprised me and my little brother by taking us to an amazing water park. They had been keeping it a secret for weeks! When we pulled up and I saw the huge colorful slides and splashing pools, I thought I was dreaming. We spent the entire day going down water slides that looped and twisted in the craziest ways. My favorite was the one that started off in a tunnel and then shot you out into a huge funnel slide. I must have gone on that one a dozen times! By the end of the day, my brother and I were totally tuckered out from all the fun.A few days later, we hit the road for our annual family camping trip up in the mountains. Camping is one of my favoritetraditions. I love falling asleep in the cozy tent listening to the crickets and waking up to fresh air and beautiful landscapes. This year, we went hiking nearly every day to explore different trails and vistas. One morning, we even saw a family of deer right near our campsite! My dad is an amazing outdoor chef too. His campfire stew and s'mores are out of this world. Mmm just thinking about it makes me hungry!When we got back from camping, it was time for my best friend's birthday party. We've been tight ever since we were little kids in pre-school. Her parents rented out a mini golf course for the whole day and all our friends came to play. I'm usually not that great at mini golf, but for some reason I was knocking every shot out of the park that day. Maybe it was beginner's luck! We had a blast going from hole to hole, seeing who could get the lowest score. In the end, her little sister surprisingly won after pulling off an amazing hole-in-one on the final hole. We all cheered and cheered!A week later, my relatives from out of town came to visit for a few days. I don't get to see my cousins too often, so I was super excited. We instantly clicked and spent tons of time swimming in our pool, watching movies, and playing video games together. One night, we even had an epic all-night kickball game in thebackyard under the stars. We got a little rowdy and I'm pretty sure we kept the whole neighborhood awake with our cheering! My mom wasn't too happy about that in the morning. Whoops!As the summer started winding down, my family took one final trip to the beach for a week. The beach is my happy place - I absolutely love playing in the waves and soaking up the warm sunshine. This year, my brother and I had an epic sandcastle building competition that took almost two whole days to finish. We worked so hard digging and piling up the perfect sandy monuments. In the end, the judges (Mom and Dad) declared it a tie since both castles were so impressive. We celebrated by ordering pizza right there on the beach. Nothing beats munching on gooey slices with your feet in the sand!Those are just a few of the countless fun memories I made this summer. Between all the adventures, quality family time, and nonstop laughs with friends, it was easily one of the mostfun-filled summers ever. I'll never forget waking up everyday with a big smile, wondering what awesome activities were in store. Summer vacation is truly the best time to be a kid - no responsibilities, just nonstop opportunities to make wonderful memories that will last forever. I already can't wait for next summer!篇4My Most Memorable Summer VacationSummer vacation is the best time of the year! No school, no homework, just fun in the sun. This past summer was one I'll never forget. My family went on an amazing adventure to a national park and we had the craziest experiences!It all started when my dad announced we were going camping at Yellowstone National Park. I wasn't too excited at first because I thought camping meant just sitting around a campfire and sleeping in an tiny tent. Boy was I wrong! Yellowstone is like a whole other world of incredible sights and activities.The first day we arrived, I was in awe at the massive mountains, bright blue lakes, and herds of buffalo roaming around. We stayed at a big campground with RVs, cabins, and tons of campsites. Our campsite was right near this awesome playground that had a rock climbing wall, ziplines, and a huge jungle gym shaped like a bear! I could have spent the whole trip just playing there.But there was way too much cool stuff to see and do in the rest of the park. We went on endless hikes through the woods,past waterfalls, and up to the top of mountains for amazing views. I loved spotting the wildlife too - elk, deer, foxes, and even a black bear from a safe distance! The ranger talks were really interesting as well and taught me all about the park's history, geology, and conservation efforts.What I'll remember most though are the crazy geysers and hot springs throughout Yellowstone. It was like being transported to another planet! The most famous geyser, Old Faithful, was so cool to watch erupt every 90 minutes, spewing steaming hot water hundreds of feet into the air. Just as incredible were the richly colored hot spring pools in shades of blue, orange, and even red from all the different minerals and gases. Some of them bubbled and gurgled like a weird alien landscape.One day we went on the scariest hike of the trip through the Norris Geyser Basin, a section full of intense geothermal activity. The ground was covered in these crusty layers that our ranger guide called "geyser cakes." He warned us not to step off the boardwalk because the thin crust could break through to boiling waters underneath! I was terrified but couldn't look away from the acidic streams trickling past and steam vents hissing allaround us. That night in the tent, I had nightmares I was going to fall through into a boiling geyser!Another day we went horseback riding through a meadow filled with grazing bison. They are massive up close! Our guide told us to stay at least 25 yards away, but one big bison got a little too close for comfort and our horse guide had to politely shoo it away. On that same ride, we got caught in a thunderstorm and had to take shelter in a cozy little cabin until it passed. We spent a few hours there drinking hot chocolate and playing card games while rain pounded on the roof. It was such a fun adventure!Towards the end of our trip, we went on a long, strenuous hike up one of the taller mountains. My legs were so sore by the time we reached the top, but the incredible 360 degree view was worth all the effort. We could see for miles and miles, with mountains, valleys, rivers, and forests as far as the eye could see.I felt like I was on top of the world!On our very last day, we visited the impressive Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. It's this massive, beautifully colored canyon carved through the rock by the powerful Yellowstone River. We hiked along the north rim trail, peering over the dizzyingdrop-offs to the canyon floor hundreds of feet below. The viewsof the vivid yellow, red, and orange rocks forming the towering canyon walls were breathtaking.I have to admit, by the end of the trip I was exhausted from all the hiking, exploring, and fresh air. But I was so sad for our Yellowstone adventure to come to an end. We made so many wonderful memories as a family and I experienced natural wonders I had only seen in pictures before. It was the experience of a lifetime that I'll never forget. I'm already dreaming about our next big summer vacation!篇5My Life As A KidHi there! My name is Xiao Ming and I'm 10 years old. I'm a student in 5th grade at Suxichang Elementary School. Today I want to tell you all about my life as a kid.First off, my family is really important to me. I live with my mom, dad, older sister Mei Mei who is 13, and my grandma. We all live together in a big apartment building right near my school which is really convenient. My grandma retired a few years ago and now she takes care of me and my sister after school while my parents are at work.I love spending time with my grandma. She's really nice and caring and always makes my favorite foods like dumplings and noodles. She also tells me fascinating stories about when she was a kid growing up in the countryside before she moved to the city. Back then, there weren't any video games or smartphones or even TVs! Can you imagine? She said they used to play games like jump rope and marbles and make up their own games in the fields. It's hard for me to picture not having all the toys and technology we have nowadays.Speaking of technology, I have to admit I'm kind of addicted to video games and my tablet! Whenever I have free time, that's what I want to be doing - playing games, watching videos, or chatting with my friends online. My parents are always telling me "Don't look at screens so much! Go play outside!" I know they're right but it's just so tempting...especially since all my friends are playing the exact same games that I want to play too. We're really into this multiplayer battle game right now where you team up and fight against other teams. It's so much fun strategizing with my friends and cheering each other on.But don't get me wrong, I do enjoy stuff besides just sitting in front of screens. One of my favorite things is going with my dad to the park near our place on the weekends. There's a lakethere where you can rent little boats to go rowing around. Me and my dad will spend hours rowing the boat around the lake and he'll point out all the different birds and plants to me. It's really peaceful being out in nature like that. I also like going on the swings and playing pick-up games of basketball or soccer at the park with the other kids from my neighborhood.At school, my favorite subjects are definitely math and PE. Math just comes pretty naturally to me...I really enjoy working out logic puzzles and solving tricky equations. As for PE, I'm a pretty active kid in general so I love getting to run around and play sports at school. I'm basically the captain of all the teams whenever we split up into groups! I'm dead accurate when throwing or kicking balls. My least favorite subject is probably Chinese literature - I find all the ancient poems and stories we have to read kind of boring if I'm being honest. I much prefer reading sci-fi and fantasy novels in my free time.Overall though, I absolutely love being a kid. There's so much fun stuff to do and you don't have too many responsibilities or worries beyond just showing up to school and doing your homework. Sure, I get frustrated with my parents nagging me about screen time and bedtime and cleaning my room and all that...but I know they just want what's best for me.My biggest dream right now is to become a professional gamer when I grow up. Can you imagine getting paid to play video games all day?! That would be the life. But I also really look up to my uncle who is a scientist, so maybe I'll end up doing something related to math and science too. Either way, I want to keep having as much fun as possible while I can during these great kid years. The future can wait a little longer!篇6Certainly! Here's a sample essay of around 2000 words, written in the style and voice of an elementary school student, titled "My Awesome Summer Vacation":My Awesome Summer VacationYay! Summer vacation was finally here, and I was super duper excited! No more school, no more homework, and no more waking up early. Just good old fun in the sun! My parents had planned a really cool trip for us, and I couldn't wait to tell you all about it.We were going on a big road trip across the country! Dad said we were gonna drive all the way from our home in New York to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. That's like, a bajillion miles away!But I didn't care, 'cause road trips are the best. You get to see so many different places and eat all kinds of fun snacks in the car.Our first stop was in Pennsylvania, where we visited this huge chocolate factory. Oh man, the whole place smelled like a giant candy bar! We took a tour and learned how they make all the yummy chocolate. At the end, they gave us free samples to try. I had a chocolate bar bigger than my head! It was so good, but it gave me a major stomach ache later. Totally worth it though!After that, we drove through Ohio and Indiana. Those states were pretty boring, not gonna lie. Just lots of farms and cows everywhere. But we did stop at this awesome water park in Indianapolis. They had these huge twisty slides that were scary at first, but then super fun once you went down them. I went on the biggest one like a hundred times!The best part was when we finally made it to the Grand Canyon. Have you ever seen pictures of it? It's MASSIVE! Like, you could fit a billion elephants down there. We went on this cool hiking trail along the rim, and the views were just breathtaking. The canyon seemed to go on forever in every direction. Mom and Dad kept telling me not to get too close to the edge, but I wasn't scared at all. I'm brave like that!On our way back home, we stopped in New Mexico to check out these crazy cool desert landscapes. Everything was just rocks and sand for miles and miles. We even saw a roadrunner zipping across the road, just like in the cartoons! I wanted to chase after it, but Dad said that was a bad idea. Probably for the best, 'cause that thing was wicked fast.The last stop of our trip was in Memphis, Tennessee. You know what that city is famous for? The blues and barbecue! We went to this amazing BBQ joint that had the mostmouth-watering ribs I've ever tasted. I got BBQ sauce all over my face, but I didn't even care. It was that good! After dinner, we went to this really cool blues club on Beale Street. There was live music and everyone was dancing and having a total blast. I'm not usually a big fan of that kind of music, but it was still pretty fun.By the time we finally made it back home to New York, I was completely wiped out from our big adventure. But man, what an incredible summer it had been. I saw so many awesome things and ate so much delicious food. I got to spend quality time with Mom and Dad, and we all made memories that will last forever. I already can't wait for next summer!So there you have it, the tale of my epic summer road trip. It was full of fun, excitement, and maybe a few tantrums here andthere (I am a kid after all!). But most importantly, it was an adventure I'll never forget. Thanks for reading, and stay cool out there! Peace!。
