Last May, I met Paul.He told me that it was his first time in China.He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China.He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao (the Sichuan to India trading route), the Southern Silk Road, the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock.He also talked of Xuanzang. I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan.On September 28, 2021, we set out.Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat.We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep. We met many people on the road.Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some gave us directions; some invited us into their home to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of their hometown.We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls.We were walking with our minds. Together, we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains.As I walked on ancient paths through mountains, I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travelers urging me to be careful on the road. Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization.Walking for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet.A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other's cultures. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和Paul Salopek一起游览云南的经历。 4．How did the writer first respond to Paul's travel plan?

If so, you could be the next great inventor.“But I'm just a kid，” you might be! Don't worry about a little thing like age.For example, one famous inventor, Benjamin Franklin, got his start when he was only 12.At that young age, he created paddles for his hands to help him swim faster.Finally his creation led to what we know as flippers! So you don't have to be adult to be an inventor.One thing you do need, though, is something that kids have plenty of: curiosity and imagination.Kids are known for looking at things in new and unique ways. So what should you do if you have what is a great idea for an invention? Talk to a friend or family member about it.Get input from others about your idea.Then ask them to help you create a working model — called a prototype (原型) of your idea. Once you have a prototype, you can test it.Sometimes your idea turns out to be not as great as you thought.At other times, though, you realize it is a good idea and your prototype can help you figure out how to make it even better. If your idea is really a good one, an adult can help you contact companies that might be interested in it.You will also want an adult's help to get a patent for your idea, so that it is protected and can't be stolen by someone else.If you need some inspiration, consider these kids and their inventions. Jeanie Low invented the Kiddie Stool when she was just 11.It's a folding stool that fits under the kitchen sink.Kids can unfold it and use it to reach the sink all by themselves. At the age of 15, Louis Braille invented the system named after him that allows the blind to read. Chelsea Lanmon received a patent when she was just 8 for the “pocket diaper (尿布)”， a new type of diaper that includes a pocket for holding baby wipes and powder. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了孩子也有可能成为发明家，以及孩子如何才能把自己的想法变为发明。 8．What does the underlined sentence “But I'm just a kid” in paragraph 1 mean? A．You are too young to achieve anything. B．You can do anything though you are young. C．You are old enough to become an inventor. D．You have to learn something from other people. √ 解析：句意理解题。根据画线句后的“Don't worry about a little thing like age.”可知，画线句想表达的是“我太年轻了，什么都做不了”。 9．Kids are most likely to be inventors probably because they . A．would like to make friends with others B．usually work hard at their lessons at school C．like playing all kinds of toys at home D．think about things in quite different ways √ 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，孩子们最有可能成为发明家可能是因为他们用不同的方式思考问题。 10．Who invented something that helps the blind to read? A．Jeanie Low. B．Benjamin Franklin. C．Chelsea Lanmon. D．Louis Braille. 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，Louis Braille发明了帮助盲人阅读的系统。 √ 11．Which of the following can be the main idea of this passage? A．Kids have curiosity and imagination. B．There are some world-famous inventors. C．It is possible for kids to be inventors. D．Kids are exactly like adults in a way. √ 解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了孩子也可能成为发明家，且文章最后三段分别列举了三个年纪轻轻就有伟大发明的人的例子，故C项可概括本文主旨。 D When a friend, partner or family member is upset, you've probably wondered how best to make them feel better.Offer a chocolate bar? Give them space so they can have a good cry? A research suggests that one of the most powerful ways to comfort others is to start a conversation. Words play a powerful role in moulding people's emotions.People's brains are finely aware of the information they get from others, and they're “constantly using it as feedback (反馈) to change their behaviors，” said Razia Sahi, leader of the research. But the words we use to comfort others matter.The research shows that telling people they shouldn't feel so bad makes them feel worse.Researchers listened in on 228 phone calls between customers and customer service representatives who dealt with medical-related complaints (投诉)．When the representatives told the upset customers to “calm down” or “relax”， the customers typically became angrier.“These words backfire because they suggest the person's feelings are improper, or that their emotions are stronger than the situation calls for，” Ms Sahi explained. Some forms of verbal support have been found to be helpful.Ms Sahi stated that friends consider phrases like, “I understand why you feel that way” or “That sounds very hard” — to be especially comforting.Other forms of support, such as helping someone believe things will improve or encouraging a person to see the situation from a new view, also help.And sometimes, those kinds of responses may even be more useful in the long run. Although it can be hard to know how best to comfort someone, Dr Zaki emphasized that we should be confident that our attempts will be appreciated.In other words, what is most important is not that you say the right thing, but you are there and try to help.“We can make a difference to other people with relatively little effort，” Dr Zaki said.“Sometimes just being there is all that you need to do.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究表明，安慰他人最有效的方式之一就是主动开始交谈。 12．What does the underlined word “moulding” mean in paragraph 2? A．Exchanging. B．Improving. C．Shaping. D．Illustrating. √ 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“People's brains are finely aware of the information ... using it as feedback (反馈) to change their behaviors”可知，人们的大脑会将他们从别人那里得到的信息作为反馈，来改变他们的行为；由此可知，画线词所在句表示“言语在塑造人们的情感方面发挥着巨大的作用”。故画线词意为“塑造”。 13．Why did the customers become angrier? A．They were impolitely dealt with. B．They tended to be emotional easily. C．They failed to better their situation. D．They were thought to be overacting. √ 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中“When the representatives told the upset customers ...than the situation calls for”可推知，顾客变得更愤怒了是因为他们被认为是小题大做。 14．What kinds of support will be more helpful in the long run? A．Promises to help. B．Comforts from friends. C．Words of encouragement. D．Responses to the complaints. √ 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中“Other forms of support, such as helping someone believe things will improve or encouraging a person to see the situation from a new view, also help.”可知，从长远来看，像鼓励的话这样的支持更有帮助。 15．What can we learn about comforting others from Dr Zaki's words? A．It is hard for most people. B．Confidence is necessary. C．Your presence matters a lot. D．Little effort is needed. √ 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，我们能从扎基博士的话中了解到安慰他人时，你的存在很重要。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 How would you like to increase the chance of achieving your goals? Whether you desire to lose weight, create financial independence, or raise responsible children, the formula for achieving any goal is the same. Here are some tips that will help you increase the probability of achieving your goals. •Identify what's important to you! The only goals you will succeed in reaching are those that are truly important to you. 16 . Take 30 minutes and make a list of the things that are truly essential in your life; those that you highly value. Then highlight the most important points on that list and set your goals. •Learn from those who have already achieved “your” goals. Once you are clear on what you truly want to achieve, your next step is to learn what you need to know. 17 . Identify people you respect and admire, who have achieved the goals you desire, and learn as much as you can from them. • 18 . Far too often people focus on what they need to do to achieve their goals and fail to consider who they must become. To accomplish something you have never accomplished before, you must be willing to do what you've never done before. 19 . Become someone you've never been before. As you learn from those who have achieved “your” goals, pay as much attention to their personal attributes and characteristics as you do to what they did to realize their goals •Put together a plan. After learning from and studying those who have been successful in reaching similar goals, your next step is to put together your plan. You need to clearly outline what you need to do and when, step-by-step, and then reduce those steps into daily activities. 20 . A．Go where you've never been before B．Determine the person you need to become C．Success comes from consistent daily action D．Step out from the crowd and build a life for yourself that makes you proud E．If a goal is not meaningful or significant to you, you will quit when faced with obstacles F．Knowing exactly what you need to do every day is important to achieving any worthwhile goal G．The best source of knowledge will come from those who have already reached goals similar to yours 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章对如何提高实现目标的可能性提出了几点建议。 16．选E　根据上文可知，此处是指要选择对你真正重要的目标才能成功，故选项E“如果一个目标对你来说没有意义或不重要，你就会在遇到障碍时放弃”符合语境。 17．选G　根据下文可知，此处是指向已经达成你想要的目标的人学习，故选项G“最好的知识来源将来自那些已经达到与你有类似目标的人”符合语境。 18．选B　根据下文可知，这一段主要是讲要确定自己要成为什么样的人。故选项B“确定你要成为什么样的人”符合语境。 19．选A　根据上文“you must be willing to do what you've never done before”和下文“Become someone you've never been before”可知，选项A“去你从未去过的地方”承上启下，符合语境。 20．选F　根据上文可知，此处是指把计划落实到每天的事项中，故选项F“确切知道你每天需要做什么对实现任何有价值的目标都是很重要的”符合语境。 本课结束 $$
