You could help others helping yourself by providing information of what you already have tried. Right now I only can say use the commands DIR, FOR and UNZIP and you are done.

zip_files = dir('*.zip');
for k = 1:numel(zip_files)
unzip(zip_files(k).name,'output_directory_here');
end

Hi David,
I meet a problem when I unzip my '*.zip' files through the way you mentioned.
My original '*.zip' files contain '*.jpg' files, and once I use your code to unzip a list of '*.zip' files, it shows:
Unable to write file "xxx.jpg".
The entry may be password-protected or encrypted.'
Could you please give me some hints? Many thanks.
