First of all, don’t spend too much time on your computer, and stop using it late at night. It’s important for teenagers to get enough sleep. Also, you get headaches from looking at computer screens for a long time. If you sit on a chair for long, it can make your back sore too. As for your schoolbag, it’s important to manage its weight. Take anything you don’t need out of your schoolbag. If possible, leave some books or materials at school. I hope my advice is helpful. Anyway, I strongly recommend you visit a local doctor for that. Dr. Know 1．What is Adam suffering from at present? A．Headaches and toothache. B．Backache and headaches. C．Stomachache and headaches D．Toothache and backache. 2．How does Adam probably feel about his situation? A．Angry. B．Excited. C．Happy. D．Worried. 3．Which of the following is Dr. Know’s advice for Adam? A．To see a local doctor. B．To leave all books at school. C．To take some medicine. D．To stop using his computer. 4．What does the underlined word “recommend” probably mean? A．comment B．believe C．suggest D．disagree Passage 2 The South Pole is covered in ice. The Antarctic ice sheet (南极冰盖) covers thousands of miles. Antarctica is under 1.6miles of ice. That’s about 2 kilometers of ice. Recently, scientists have discovered that the land isn’t 100% flat; under the ice is a large hidden landscape (风景) that has been frozen for millions of years. The scientists discovered that the land under the ice is full of hills and valleys. This secret world 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 3 is greatly large, covering across 12,000 square miles. It is even larger than the whole country of Belgium. Time seems to stop in this frozen world, keeping its secrets for millions of years. To explore (探索) this hidden land, scientists used a cool technology called radio-echo sounding. It’s like sending waves from a special plane flying high above Antarctica. These waves bounce off (反 弹 ) the land below, creating a kind of map.The scientists then study this map to learn more about what’s hidden under the ice. It’s a bit like using a magic wand (魔法棒) to uncover the hidden. Besides the radio waves, scientists also looked at satellite images (图像). Satellites are like our eyes in the sky, travelling around the Earth and taking pictures. By studying these images and the radio wave map, a picture of the land under the ice appeared. This hidden world wasn’t always icy and cold. A long, long time ago, before the ice took over, it was a lively place with rivers, hills, and even forests. Animals probably walked around, enjoying the landscape. But then, something unexpected happened. The land got covered in ice, freezing everything in time like an ice sculpture (冰雕). This freezing event happened more than 34 million years ago,making it a truly ancient landscape. Now, scientists are not just wondering about the past; they’re also worried about the future. They’re concerned about global warming, which means the Earth is slowly getting warmer. The worry is that the ice in Antarctica might melt (融化 ), changing everything. Even though the Earth was warmer in the past, scientists hope it won’t get too warm too quickly. The hidden landscape is quite far from the edge of the ice sheet, giving some hope that it might not melt right away. Yet, the mysteries (神秘) continue. Scientists found a greatly large lake hidden under the ice, and they believe there’s even more waiting to be discovered. It’s like a never-ending story of exploration and wonder, where every fact that people discover opens the door to more questions about our planet’s past and future. 5．How did scientists “see” under the ice in Antarctica? A．By using a magic wand. B．By travelling around the Earth. C．By taking pictures from the plane. D．By studying satellite images and the radio wave map. 6．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To describe the present situation of Antarctica. B．To discuss the influence of global warming on Antarctica. C．To introduce the research on the hidden world under Antarctic ice sheet. D．To give some advice on how to protect Antarctica’s ice over millions of years. 7．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．The Mystery of Antarctica’s Ice B．Global Warming and Its Problems C．The Introduction of Earth’s Landscape D．Satellite Technology in Polar Exploration 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 4 Passage 3 What is a teacher? Well, a teacher is someone who teaches. They say things, and you remember them. But it was not until I met my music teacher that I realized this definition (定义) was too shallow (肤浅的). When I first arrived at my music class at school, I didn’t have any knowledge of how to play the flute at all. I couldn’t get the basic notes right. It seemed like a dream for me to perform in front of the school. However, my music teacher, Ms. Lee, encouraged me to give it a chance and have a try. She did a lot for her students, including me. She spent a lot of time finding the right flute book for me and extra (额外的) time teaching me. When I was unable to remember the notes, she taught me the trick: FACE. F means “fa”; Ameans “la”; C means “do”; E means “mi”. This way I can remember the notes much more quickly. She also tried to make music class fun. We played games that helped develop our sense of rhythm (节奏感) and shared our favorite pieces on certain days. We talked about the background of music pieces from all over the world and learned about the development of music. Sometimes when we were too tired, instead of forcing us to practice our instruments, Ms. Lee would talk about relaxing things. Thanks to Ms. Lee’s fun teaching, I truly fell in love with the flute. After six months, I was able to blow seven notes in one breath. While this might not seem like a huge accomplishment (成就), I am still proud of it and thankful to her who helped me make it happen. Now I understand the true meaning of a teacher totally. 8．The writer ________ at first. A．knew nothing about playing the flute B．could perform in front of the school C．could get the basic notes right D．found the right flute book 9．What would Ms. Lee do when the students were too tired to practice the instruments? A．She would introduce the development of music. B．She would share the background of music pieces. C．She would talk about the relaxing things with them. D．She would ask them to keep practicing the instruments. 10．What does the writer think of Ms Lee? A．Brave. B．Honest. C．Helpful. D．Difficult. Passage 4 Have you noticed the waste bins in different colors on the street? Do you often put all the waste 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 5 in the same bin? It’s reported by Changehun Daily that people must do waste sorting (分类) in most places in Changchun at the end of 2019. Waste sorting is a wonderful way to make good use of energy and protect the environment. But do you know how to sort the waste? Usually, people should sort their waste into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. Different kinds of waste should go into different bins. Wet waste means the things you don’t want but pigs can eat, mostly coming from your kitchen. Things that can be used again, such as paper, metal and glass, are recyclable waste. Harmful waste might be dangerous or cause serious pollution, like medicine and batteries (电池). And any waste that’s not wet, recyclable or harmful will go into the dry waste bin. Different countries are trying different ways to sort the waste. A university in England has a smart bin. When people drop their waste into the bin, it can tell what kind of waste it is and sort it correctly. The bin can also compress (压缩) the waste to make it smaller in size and take up less space. In South Korea, people have to separate their food waste from other kinds of waste and pay for it. The more food waste they throw away, the more they pay. In Japan, plastic bottles and their caps should go into different bins. 11．Why does the writer use two questions at the beginning of the passage? A．To lead in the topic. B．To give an example. C．To make you answer them. D．To share different ideas. 12．Which of the following should go into the harmful waste bin? A．Glass. B．Medicine. C．Paper.

People who are shy always worry too much about what people think of them or embarrassing themselves in some way in front of others. How can we overcome shyness? ◆ Have a good posture(姿势) The way a person holds themselves says a lot about that person. People with sloped(倾斜的 ) shoulders don't think of themselves as important.

Passage 7 Floods, droughts (干旱 ), storms, hot days…extreme (极端的 ) weather is becoming more and more common all over the world. This is caused by greenhouse gas emissions (温室气体排放 ) from human activities, reported China Daily. This summer, big storms hit areas of Europe. At least 13 people died in Austria, France and Italy by Aug 19. In Portugal and Spain, huge wildfires have forced thousands to leave their homes. In the US, more than 80 percent of the west is in drought, up from just 20 percent in 2021. Three-quarters of farmers in these areas have stopped growing food. In China, the heat has hit the south since June. The duration (持续时间 ) of this year’s high temperatures will break the 62-day record in 2013, becoming the longest heat wave in 61 years. Extreme weather events are not only killing people and destroying homes. They also drive more people into hunger. Millions in East Africa have little food to eat today, according to the World Health Organization. For four years, there wasn’t enough rain during its rainy seasons and the land was too dry to grow food. Extreme weather has also made 218 of the known 375 infectious diseases (传染病) more serious, including malaria, cholera and anthrax, according to the journal Nature Climate Change. As viruses (病毒) try to adapt to (适应) higher temperatures, they become stronger and harder to kill. 26．What is causing extreme weather events worldwide, according to the passage? A．Wildfires. B．Droughts. C．Greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. D．Heat waves. 27．What are Paragraphs 3~5 mainly about? A．The countries that suffer from extreme weather the most.

B．It weakens people’s health. C．It offers more food to viruses and serious diseases. D．It increases the number of infectious diseases. Passage 8 ①Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier. ②The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job——that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives. ③The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities. ④Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes. 30．What’s the main idea of this passage? A．The importance of money and success for happiness. B．Aristotle’s philosophy on happiness. C．Secrets to living a happy life.

A．To provide additional examples of simple pleasures. B．To explain why helping others is important for happiness. C．To introduce a new secret to living a happy life. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 10 D．To summarize the main points of the passage. Passage 9 Museums are an important way to exchange different cultures and help people understand each other better. So, have you ever heard of International Museum Day (IMD)? Every year, ICOM (the International Council of Museums) organises events to celebrate it on May 18. The main objective (目的 ) of the festival is to make people realise the importance of museums in the development of our society. Here are some facts about it. Before creating International Museum Day, ICOM brought the international museum community together for a 1951 meeting called Crusade for Museums. They wanted to discuss the theme (主题) “Museums and Education”. Then the idea of International Museum Day was born. In 1977, ICOM decided to celebrate IMD on May 18 every year. Over the years, IMD has gained increasing attention. In 2009, 20,000 museums in over 90 countries took part in the celebration. In 2018, the number jumped to 40,000 in over 150 countries. Every year, ICOM chooses a theme for the day. This year’s theme is “Museums for Equality: Diversity and Inclusion (多元和包容 )”. In China, an online symposium (研讨会 ) was held at the Nanjing Museum this year. Scholars (学者) from the UK, South Korea and the USA took part in the online event. They discussed the development of the world’s museums. The best way to celebrate this day is to visit a nearby museum with family and friends. But because of the unusual situation this year, most museums in China held online exhibitions. Chinese people had great fun “visiting” museums online. 34．On which day is International Museum Day celebrated each year? A．January 18th. B．May 18th. C．July 18th.

He felt like there was a heavy weight on his shoulders as he walked home alone. It was the worst day of his life. His mind would not stop thinking about what happened only just an hour ago on the school soccer field. How could he have missed scoring that goal? He had let his whole team down. His stupid mistake made him angry. His team had lost the game because of him. He was really worried that his coach might kick him off the team. As soon as he walked through the door, his father asked, “What’s wrong, son?” Peter’s feelings were written all over his face. “I lost the game,” Peter replied. Then he went into his room without another word. Ten minutes later, Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom door. He opened the door to let him in. “Look, Peter. I don’t know what happened. But whatever it was, don’t be too hard on yourself.” “I lost the game, Dad. I failed my team. They’ll probably never let me play again.” “Soccer is about team effort. You’re not the only reason your team lost. If you have a good team, you should support each other, besides, winning or losing is only half the game. The other half is learning how to communicate with your teammates and learning from your mistakes.” Peter didn’t say anything, but what his father said made him think carefully. The next day, Peter went to soccer practice with courage rather than fear in his heart. “Hey, guys,” he said to his teammates. “I’m really sorry about yesterday. We were so close to winning that game. But I think if we continue to pull together, we’re going to win the next one.” To his surprise and relief, his teammates all nodded in agreement. “Yeah,” they said, “don’t worry about it. It’s never just one person’s fault. We should think about how we can do better next time.” Peter smiled. It made him feel lucky to know that he was on a winning team. 38．It was the worst day for Peter because ________. A．he missed scoring a goal B．his team made a stupid mistake C．his teammates made him angry D．his coach kicked him off the team 39．After talking with his father, Peter ________. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 12 A．went to say sorry to his coach B．told his teammates about his plan C．went to soccer practice with courage D．trained his teammates to win the next game 40．From his experience, Peter learned about ________. A．the effect of losing a soccer game B．the value of winning a soccer game C．the importance of supporting each other in a team D．the benefit of getting on well with the teammates Passage 11 A group of Chinese scientists have recently created a new kind of self-powered, flexible (柔韧的), and transparent (透明的) electronic skin (电子皮肤) to monitor some human actions. The electronic skin is a very important part in the future of wearable technology. Because it’s soft, the special e-skin can stick right onto different parts of our body. Our skin, which is the biggest part of our body, is responsible for many important things like protecting us, helping us sweat, controlling our temperature, and letting us feel things around us. It is the basis of people’s physical interactions with the outside world. The perfect e-skin should feel a lot, power itself, and work well on human skin. “We got ideas from how real skin works and made this new e-skin both flexible and transparent to serve many functions (功能 ). After charging (充电 ), it can watch and understand very small signals and many activities in real time. It can feel a person’s heartbeat, tell when a person is eating, and inspect other body movements.” said Lan Wei, a professor at the School of Physical Science and Technology of Lanzhou University and the leader of the research team. E-skin will be the main part of wearable electronic devices in the following years. The new invention can be used in smart health care, human-machine interaction, virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI). For example, it can help doctors control the robots better, let people “touch” things far away, and create more immersive (沉浸式的) gaming experiences. From now on, the scientists will work on making the e-skin feel things better and have more power, so it becomes even more like human skin, which will in turn make it more suitable for future. 41．What is the purpose of the new wearable e-skin? A．To control body temperature. B．To monitor human activities. C．To slow down the aging of human skin. D．To improve the flexibility of human skin. 42．What is special about the new e-skin according to Lan Wei? 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 13 A．It provides more electricity for people. B．It is soft and has different kinds of uses. C．It can be put inside the human skin directly. D．It can feel a person’s heartbeat two minutes later. 43．The word “inspect” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A．predict B．guess C．check D．replace 44．What do the last two paragraphs mainly tell us about the new e-skin? A．Its gaming users. B．Its medical value. C．Its working idea. D．Its bright future. Passage 12 In today’s fast-paced world, research shows that more and more people are feeling “time poor”. Time poverty can happen when work, social duties, and family responsibilities take up too much of a person’s time, leaving little or no time for fun or personal interests. It can also happen when one feels like they are running out of time to reach their goals or complete tasks. The Internet, mobile technology, and social media have allowed people to experience and do many jobs in a single lifetime. The fear of missing out and the stress caused by it increase the feeling of time poverty. Besides, we often say “yes” to any extra work. It could be to help your team or your friends. But by saying ”yes” to everything, you are adding another task to an already full plate. People who don’t have enough time fail to perform properly at work and remain stressed. Continuous stress can harm mental health. Moreover, less quality (优质的 ) time with friends and family can make a person feel more lonely. So how can we stop being time poor? There are two ways. Firstly, be intentional with your time. It may seem harmless to check your phone for 5 to 10 minutes every hour, but this can add up to more than 90 minutes wasted every day just checking your phone. So, every minute counts, and the time wasted every day can add up quickly if you don’t realize it. In order to be more intentional with your time, you can consider planning out your day’s priorities (优先考虑的事 ) the night before or the morning of. Try to find out what things in your life are distracting you, and try to stay away from those distractions to stop wasting valuable time. Secondly, make quality time a true value in your life. How you spend your time with someone or doing something is more important than the quantity (数量) of time you spend on something. Train yourself to be more present in your life instead of allowing one area of your life to influence another. For example, when you are spending time with your family, be present and in the moment rather than focusing your thoughts and attention elsewhere. We are all given the same 24 hours each day. By being more intentional with your time and valuing quality time, you’ll learn ways to make better use of it. Then you can improve your overall 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 14 well-being and spend more time on what matters most in your life. 45．A person will most probably experience time poverty when ________. A．he spends his free time having fun with family B．he watches his favorite TV shows for long hours C．he has little time to do exercise on a busy workday D．he completes his project a week before the deadline 46．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Effects of time poverty. B．Drivers of time poverty. C．Solutions to time poverty. D．Opinions about time poverty. 47．The words “be intentional with” in Paragraph 5 are closest in meaning to ________. A．strictly limit B．properly manage C．carefully save D．cheerfully spend 48．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To warn people of the risks of time poverty. B．To call on people to balance their work and life. C．To help people improve their time effectiveness. D．To remind people to spend more time achieving their goals. Passage 13 “Don’t forget to study for the history test on Friday,” Mrs. Beville told the class. That night, Julie opened her textbook and read it several times. It was difficult for her to learn all the facts and dates. “Need some help?” asked her older brother, Eric. Julie handed him her textbook. “Test me.” Eric took the book and read the questions, but Julie shook her head. The following day, she decided to use library time to study. With her textbook open in front of her, she tried to make sense of all the facts and dates. But it was useless. She lowered her head and hid her face in the pages of the book. “Impossible!” “Julie!” Julie looked up. Maria, from her class, was seated at a nearby table. “Want to study together?” Maria asked. Julie picked up her things and joined Maria, who was sitting with some cards and colored pencils in front of her. On each card was a colorful painting. Julie looked confused. “I thought you were studying history.” “This is how I study,” Maria said. “I like art, and the pictures help me recall facts. Sometimes memorization isn’t enough, and I have to get creative.” “I see,” said Julie, with interest. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 15 “But right now, I’m having trouble answering this question.” She pointed to a line she’d written on the front of a card. What would you call someone who lives in Flanders? After looking up the answer “Fleming”, Julie had a thought. “If Maria could use her artistic skills to study, then why couldn’t I use my own love of poems and wordplay?” Julie said aloud, “See the flamingo home to Flanders!” Maria was looking at her. “What does a flamingo have to do with it?” She stopped for a moment. “See the flamingo home...See the Fleming go home to Flanders. Yes! A Fleming lives in Flanders. Perfect!

What’s the best way to know it? You know that looking it up in an English-Chinese Dictionary will tell you a lot about the word: the pronunciation, the part of speech, the Chinese meaning and also how to use this word. But how can you know where the word is in thousands of English words? How to find it in the dictionary both quickly and correctly? First, all the English words are arranged in the alphabetical order (按字母顺序排列 ). In the dictionary you can first see the words beginning with the letter A, B, C, D …, that means, if there are two words “general” and “monitor”, “general” will be certainly before “monitor”. Then if there are two words both beginning with the same letter, you may look at the second letter. Then the third, the fourth … for example, “before” is before “begin”, “foreign” before “forest”, etc. Do you understand how to look up a word in a dictionary? The dictionary will be your good friends. I hope you will use it as often as possible in your English learning. 52．According to the passage, if we don’t know a word, we’d better ________. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 16 A．think hard B．write it again and again C．ask our teachers or classmates D．look it up in a dictionary 53．When you look up a word in the English-Chinese Dictionary, you can understand not only its Chinese meaning, but also ________.

Basically, they believe that anyone can develop their abilities in anything. The opposition of the growth mindset is the fixed mindset. People with this believe that intelligence and skill are innate: it’s something that we’re born with. We’re either born gifted or not; there is no room for change. Basically, they believe intelligence is fixed from birth. All of us are a mixture of both the growth and fixed mindsets. In some areas of our lives, we operate with the growth mindset. In others, we operate with the fixed mindset. Because of this, we all wear both in different situations in our lives. Although, we should all try to wear the growth ones much more than we wear the fixed ones. But, why? A lot of research seems to suggest that people with the growth mindset are more successful than people with the fixed mindset. For example, a study found that students who held a growth mindset were three times more likely to score in the top 20% on the test, while students with a fixed mindset were four times more likely to score in the bottom 20%. Another study found that when 7th graders participated in a growth mindset program, they were able to avoid a drop in grades which usually happens in middle school. People with the growth mindset are much more resilient (有适应力的) which allows them to deal with challenging and difficult situations. Because they prioritize (优先考虑 ) learning over failure, 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 17 people with the fixed mindset don’t, want to challenge themselves because they believe talent and intelligence are fixed. They look at failure as an assault (攻击), failure once means failure always. We know that the brain can continue to learn until the day we die, thanks to the field of neuroscience (神经科学). It also seems quite clear that people must work hard and keep trying even when they meet difficulties if they want to be successful. So the growth mindset seems to be a much more correct view of reality than the fixed mindset. People with the growth mindset are living in greater accordance (符合 ) with relality than people with the fixed mindset. They can make truer decisions while a person with the fixed mindset lives in a greater state of delusion (妄想). So, now you know why the growth mindset is important. Keep in mind that it takes a lot of effort to develop and that it will always be a hard fight to a avoid falling into the fixed mindset. 57．People with the growth mindset ________. A．think learning and developing are more important B．believe they are born with intelligence and skill C．are afraid of making mistakes and taking risks D．are less likely to deal with difficult situations 58．The word “innate” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ________”. A．changeable B．natural C．trainable D．growing 59．The writer probably agrees that ________. A．if people fail once in their life, they may never become successful B．if people operate with two mindsets, they are more likely to succeed C．if people can challenge themselves, they will have intelligence and skill D．if people understand the real world correctly, they may make true decisions 60．What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To introduce the ways to develop mindsets. B．To discuss why people have different mindsets. C．To compare the growth mindset with the fixed mindset. D．To encourage people to operate with the growth mindset. Passage 16 As teenagers grow up, they start to make their own decisions. However, during this period, it can be easy for them to form bad habits. These bad habits, if left unchecked, could lead to more serious ones when they become adults. To prevent harmful habits from controlling a teenager’s life is important. They must learn to recognize bad habits early and make proper changes. To change bad habits is never easy. In many ways, our lifestyle is the sum of choices we have made. We make a choice to do something, and then we repeat it over and over again. Soon that choice 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 18 forms a habit that is much harder to change. The good news is that we can change, if we understand how habits work. According to modern psychology, we must first learn about the “habit cycle”, which works like this: Firstly, there is a “cue”, an action, event, or situation that acts as a signal to do something. Secondly, there is a “routine”, the regular (有规律的) action you take in response (反应) to the cue. Thirdly, there is the “reward”, the good thing or feeling we get from the routine. For example, when we feel unhappy (cue), we eat lots of unhealthy snacks (routine), which makes us feel happy (reward). The reward makes us much more likely to continue the cycle, and the bad habit of depending on unhealthy snacks is formed. To facilitate (促进 ) a positive change in our bad habits, we must first examine our bad habit cycles and then try to change them. For example, we could try to replace a negative routine with something more positive. So, when we feel unhappy again, rather than eat snacks, we could listen to some of our favourite music instead, which will make us feel relaxed. Aside from changing bad habits, we can also use the habit cycle to create good habits. For example, when we come to an elevator, our normal routine is to ride it, but we could change this routine into something more positive by taking the stairs instead. Many of us try to change bad habits quickly, and if we are not successful straight away, we often give up. In fact, the most successful way to change is not suddenly, but over a period of time. To reach the goal of change, a person must show some self-control and repeatedly take many small steps. For young people, there is plenty of time to change bad habits. However, there is no “magic pill”; you have to think about your bad habits and decide on some changes. You have the power to build a happy and healthy life full of good habits! 61．Which of the following means “the three periods of the habit cycle”? A． B． C． D． 62．What can we learn from the passage? A．Repeating a choice to do something helps to form a good habit. B．To improve the routine of the habit cycle helps to create good habits.

Passage 17 You must have heard of the legend (传说) of Yu Gong, who tried to move two mountains. The Taihang Mountain was one of the two mountains. The Taihang Mountain passes through the areas of Hebei, Shanxi, Henan and Beijing. It is about 400 kilometers long. It is a large mountain range in North China, and it was called “the backbone (脊 梁) of China” in ancient times. Many of the legends about the very beginning of human civilization (文明 ) come from the Taihang area. For example, Nvwa used stones to repair the sky to make sure that humans would have a better future; Houyi protected everyone by shooting the suns; Yandi, one of the earliest Chinese emperors, tried large numbers of herbs (草药) and taught people how to use them to treat diseases. The Taihang Mountain is not only where the ancient stories happened, but also a place where tens of thousands of fossils (化石) were found. These fossils show how the earth has changed over time. At the same time, we can also learn about how ancient humans lived from the discoveries around the area. Nowadays, there are natural forests around the area with beautiful colors in four seasons. It is home to many animals and plants as well. If you need a trip that helps you learn different things about history, culture and other important knowledge, you can go to the Taihang Mountain. 64．What was the Taihang Mountain once called? A．The roof of China. B．The roof of the world. C．The backbone of the world. D．The backbone of China. 65．Which of the following is true about Taihang Mountain? A．It is the largest mountain range in China. B．It is only known for tens of thousands of fossils that were found there. C．We can also learn about how ancient humans lived from the discoveries around the area. D．One of the legends tells that Houyi taught people how to use herbs to treat diseases. 66．What might be the best title for the passage? A．A great old man—Yu Gong B．Taihang Mountain—a great treasure in China 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 20 C．Ancient stories about Taihang Mountain D．The natural beauty in Taihang Mountain Passage 18 Imagine you got a bad grade on a test. What kind of thoughts would be running through your head? When something difficult like this happens, a lot of us will be hard on ourselves. Now imagine it were your friend who got a bad grade—what would you say to him? Most people say that they would be much kinder to their friend and would say something supportive. They would show their friend compassion, which means they would feel what their friend was feeling and wish to help him. When people show the same level of compassion to themselves, they are practising self-compassion. One way to think of self-compassion is by breaking it down into three parts. The first part is called mindfulness. Mindfulness just means being honest about how you are feeling without pretending (假装 ) that everything is okay, and without exaggerating the situation. For example, imagine you have plans to go to the beach on the weekend. When it is time to go, it starts to rain and you cannot go. A mindful response might be to say, “I am disappointed that I can’t go to the beach today”, rather than “I do not care, I did not even want to go to the beach”, or “This is the worst day ever!” The second part of self-compassion is called common humanity. Failure, imperfection and disappointment are part of the shared human experience. Common humanity reminds us that we are not alone in how we are feeling, and it can make us feel more connected with others around us. The third part of self-compassion is called kindness. It can help to think about what you might say to a good friend or what a good friend might say to you. You can also take actions to support your body and mind, like getting enough sleep or watching a funny movie. Some people worry that if they are kind to themselves, they will not try to do challenging things. But being self-compassionate does not mean that you do not want to make changes. It just means that, while you are doing something difficult you can support yourself rather than beat yourself up. Reminding yourself that we all find new tasks challenging, and that we all might fail sometimes, can help us be less discouraged and more motivated to improve ourselves. Being self-compassionate can set the stage (舞台 ) for better health, relationships and general well-being. However, it is also important to remember that when you are kind to yourself, the bad feelings and difficult situations will not go away, and they will always be a part of life. The more you open your heart to this reality instead of continually fighting against it, the more you will be able to feel compassion for yourself. 67．People may need to be self-compassionate when _______. A．helping a friend out of trouble B．performing poorly on the stage C．being overproud of successfulness D．making great progress in their work 68．The word “exaggerating” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______. A．influencing B．examining C．overstating D．reconsidering 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 21 69．What do we know about self-compassion from the passage? A．Accepting imperfection helps us practise common humanity. B．Being kind to yourself makes difficult situations go away. C．Mindfulness may cause us not to recognize our feelings. D．Self-compassion means not challenging ourselves. 70．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To encourage people to support their friends in need. B．To remind people that self-compassion has two sides. C．To stress the importance of the connection between people. D．To suggest treating yourself like you’re your own best friend. Passage 19 There is a special plant that appears to make cats happy—catnip. When cats smell catnip, they rub their heads against it, roll around and look very happy. Sometimes they also become playful. Such responses (反应 ) to the cat-attracting plants are called the “catnip response”. Catnip can help cats, especially those kept indoors all the time, feel less bored. Years ago, we helped several cats from an animal care center and wanted to make them really happy. We bought catnip for them, but to our surprise, none of the cats liked the smell of this plant. How many cats are there who do not like catnip? Are there other plants that cats would like instead? We tested 100 cats from the center with catnip and several other plants we had heard might have a similar effect. It turned out that about 30% of them did not care for catnip, but for other plants. Two of these plants are silver vine and Tatarian honeysuckle. When the two plants were offered to the 32 cats who did not like catnip, we noticed that 81% of them did love at least one of those plants. Silver vine was the most popular plant, even more popular than catnip! About 80% of all the cats loved silver vine—smelling this plant made them really happy. Silver vine was also the plant most loved by the cats who did not like catnip. There’re hundreds of chemical compounds (化合物) in plants. We tested which of them attracted 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 22 the cats. The result suggests that cats respond not only to nepetalactone, the cat-attracting compound in catnip, but also to nine other chemical compounds, and the joyful response only happens when they smell enough of the compounds in plants. Actually, one of the cat-attracting compounds is also produced by animals. We believe they may use it to communicate with each other through smell. We still do not understand exactly why plants make cats happy. We are continuing our research. We also hope that more people will start using catnip, silver vine and Tatarian honeysuckle to help their cats live happier and healthier lives. 71．The writer did the test on 100 cat to find out _______. A．what other plants may attract the cats B．how many catnip responses there are C．if cats can be kept indoors all the time D．when the cats in the center enjoy catnip 72．What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4? A．The 100 tested cats were attracted to cats. B．Most of the tested cats liked silver vine best. C．The catnip response depends on the color of the plants. D．Cat-attracting compounds are only produced by plants. 73．Which might be the best title for the passage? A．How Cats React to Catnip B．How Plants Make Cats Happy C．What Plants Help Cats Communicate? D．What Compounds Improve Cats’ Lives? Passage 20 The biggest outdoor coffee festival is coming to our city from June 13 to 16.
