People used to call the mountain Daqueshan, which means bird-hunting mountain. The villagers used to hunt birds on the mountain. Then one year, they couldn't hear birds singing. People started to worry if migratory birds would return again. In 1984, the Hongtupo Forest Police Station 4 was set up. The officers worked on the mountain, trying to find migratory birds and stop people from hunting them. The job was really difficult. They might lose their way or meet dangerous animals. The officers also tried to tell villagers the importance of protecting birds and other wild animals. They visited the villagers door to door and helped them with farm work. They even organized activities in schools to get their messages across to children. Now, even children know that birds are to be loved. The mountain is greener, the water is clearer, and more and more animals come to live here. It has become a bird-protecting mountain. Many people have opened bed-and-breakfasts（民宿） for birdwatchers. “The village has changed a lot, and we don't hunt birds anymore,” people say. Since people have stopped hunting, the police station now mainly works to save injured（受伤的） wildlife. 1.How many migratory birds live on Dazhong Mountain from September to February? ______________________ More than 50,000,000. 2.What did the villagers on Dazhong Mountain use to do? ______________________________________________ They used to hunt birds on Dazhong Mountain. 3.What danger might the officers face on the mountain? ____________________________________________________ They might lose their way or meet dangerous animals. 4.Do the villagers know that birds are to be loved now? _____________ Yes, they do. 7 5.What is the theme of this passage? _________________________ Environmental protection. 【解析】主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了位于云南楚雄的大中山在环境保护 方面发生的变化，村民由过去的猎杀鸟类到现在的保护鸟类，体现了环境 保护意识的增强，故文章的主题是:环境保护。 【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了位于云南楚雄的大中山 在环境保护方面发生的变化。过去，大中山附近的村民经常猎杀鸟类，导 致鸟儿几乎消失。后来政府采取了一系列措施保护鸟类和野生动物。现在 大中山变得山清水秀，成为一座保护鸟儿的山。 8 Passage 2 In ancient times, copper coins meant wealth.

As a traditional skill in China, copper coin knitting（铜钱编织） was listed as an intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产） in 2018. Every day at 9 a.m., Zhang Canjin, 58, comes to the Drum Tower Street in Ningbo and walks into a small house. Sitting at his desk, the 9 inheritor（继承人） of copper coin knitting starts his day. “Knitting the coins into different shapes doesn't sound difficult, but the key is to be creative and think big,” Zhang said. So, since he started his own copper coin knitting store in 2014, he has tried very hard to think big. Zhang added, “As I keep on making different works, I have more creative ideas in my mind.” To try something difficult, Zhang spent two months making armor （盔甲） with more than 8,000 coins in 2017. It got great public attention and even got Zhang a national patent for design（设计专利）. Now, he tries to continue getting more creative ideas and hopes the art form will reach more people. “I think we Chinese people should pass on our own treasure and tradition,” Zhang said. The house of Zhang stands there in the middle of the crowded Drum Tower Street, and inside Zhang is knitting his love for heritage into a beautiful dream. 1.What is copper coin knitting? __________________________ A traditional Chinese skill. 2.Where does Zhang Canjin work every day? __________________ In a small house. 3.When did Zhang Canjin start his own copper coin knitting store? _________ In 2014. 4.How many coins did Zhang Canjin use to make the armor? ____________ Over 8,000. 12 5.In your view, what can you do in order to pass on the copper coin knitting? ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了非物质文化遗产铜钱编 织的重要性以及它的继承人张灿金关于铜钱编织的观点和成就。 I think we should know more information about the copper coin knitting.

Qipao is a long, figure-fitting（修身的） dress that was from gowns worn by the Manchu women in the Qing Dynasty. The early kind was a wide gown with long sleeves（袖子）. 14 Then, over 100 years ago, the modern kind of qipao was invented. It is mainly made of silk. The cut of qipao is improved so that the dress becomes more close-fitting. The two sides show the beauty of Chinese women. And also, modern qipao keeps something traditional to show the beauty of Chinese culture. Nowadays, qipao is worn by Chinese women on formal occasions （正式场合）, as well as in daily activities. In different seasons, qipao can go well with different clothing like coats and sweaters. The bride—a woman who is getting married often greets the guests wearing a red qipao which is a symbol of happiness and good luck. Mixing the clothing styles in the East and the West, China's dress— qipao, is now known to the world.

The topic of cooking was discussed mostly by parents and students. Learning practical skills plays an important role in shaping a person's character for sure. 19 Some schools and students have already practiced their practical activities. Gu Quan, 13 years old, from No.18 Middle School, used to be a lazy boy. In his own words, he hardly ever did any housework. But things have changed since No.18 Middle School made housework part of its students' homework. Doing the dishes, cooking and making the bed… All of these tasks have become part of Gu Quan's daily life. At the beginning of each month, every student gets a list of housework to do every weekend. Their parents help them keep a record of their performance. The tasks are common and simple in daily life, such as sweeping the floor, washing cups and cooking food. On holidays like Mother's Day, students should prepare presents for their mothers. Huang Yixi, 14, has learned several skills, including cooking. “I used to be afraid of fire,” she said. But she managed to overcome fear and complete her cooking tasks. At the same time, she also learned how tired her mother gets after doing housework every day.

But now, the expression is used to describe how easily some college students can get hurt or sick, even if they are young. Many college students shared their experiences of getting hurt easily online. For example, a video on Douyin shows how a college girl broke her foot while practicing dancing. 24 According to reports, a hospital in Zhengzhou received about 1,700 young people aged between 18 and 25 in September only. “Most of these young people's health problems were caused by unhealthy living and eating habits, including staying up late and having junk food,” said Cheng Xiaodan, a doctor of the hospital. These unhealthy habits can do harm to physical health. Then how can young people build themselves up? Here is some advice. First, they should make sure they can get 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night. Second, it is useful for them to find a healthy interest they will get excited about and add it to their daily activities. Third, developing healthy eating habits is also helpful. They can eat more vegetables and stay away from food high in sugar. Fourth, they need to exercise often. They can choose a sport they enjoy and stick to it every day. Finally, they must control their screen time. Too much screen time can cause a poor sleep and raise the risk of developing attention problems and emotional（情感的）problems. 1.Who was “brittle” first used to describe? ________________________________________________ Some game characters in a weak place in a fight. 2.What happened to the college girl in Paragraph 2 when she danced? ____________________ She broke her foot. 3.Why did most of the young people have health problems according to Cheng? __________________________________________________ Because they had unhealthy living and eating habits. 4.How many suggestions are given to young people? ________ 5./Five. 27 5.Which other advice do you have for young people to avoid being “brittle”? ________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ They should have regular check-ups, go to bed at a regular time and do more exercise. （开放性试题,答案不唯一,言之有理即可） 【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了现在大学生不健康的生 活习惯和饮食习惯，导致他们变得很“脆”，即容易受伤。文章针对这个现 象给出了一些建议。 28 Passage 6（2024泰安高新区二模） Will You Help Others? Recently, there is an issue（议题） which has caught large numbers of net friends' attention again. Three pupils helped an old man who fell to the ground and were framed（诬陷） by the fallen man that they had knocked him over. The man asked for compensation（赔偿） from the three pupils and even went to their homes to live. Most netters sympathize（同情） the three children and accuse（谴责） the man of 29 making use of children's kindness to cheat money. They also doubt whether nobody is going to help others in the future. The three kids and their parents may feel sad about it. But I think we can't refuse to help others. Why? First of all, not all strangers are cheaters. Actually, there are few cheaters in our society. Just imagine, what if one day you are in trouble and no one wants to help you? Should we be onlookers（旁观者） when other people fall down or get injured in front of us? We should learn from the three kids. It isn't their fault for helping the man. Their problem is that they are unlucky to meet a cheat. Secondly, helping others is the traditional virtue（美德） of China. We shouldn't hesitate（犹豫） to help others because of some negative behavior. We are educated to offer help to others from childhood. If everyone is afraid of getting in trouble and turns a blind eye to the people in need, our society will become cold and there will be only suspicion（猜疑）. In fact, helping others is helping ourselves.. .There is an old saying in China, “One good turn deserves another.” It means rewards will first come to the nice guys who are good persons and keep helping others. 1.What did the fallen man ask the three pupils for? __________________________________________________________ The man asked for compensation./He asked for compensation. 2.Who sympathizes the three pupils and accuses the man? _____________ Most netters. 3.What's the writer's second reason about helping others？ _______________________________________________ Helping others is the traditional virtue of China. 4.Translate the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph into Chinese. __________________________________ 事实上,帮助别人就是帮助我们自己。 32 5.What can we learn from the passage？ ________________________________________________________________ ________ We can't refuse to help others.（开放性试题,答案不唯一,言之有理即可。） 【主旨大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了三个小学生帮助了一位 摔倒的老人反被诬陷的故事，并告诉我们帮助别人的原因。 33 Passage 7（2024济宁三模） Even the most confident performers can suffer from stage fright （怯场）. Stage fright is common for everyone from Broadway actors to experienced presenters. If you have stage fright, then you may start to feel nervous, shaky, or even completely frightened at the thought of performing in front of an audience. But don't worry—you can deal with your stage fright by training your body and mind to relax and trying a few tips. 34 Fake（假装） confidence.

Keep this posture（姿势） when you get on the stage and you'll actually start to feel confident. Create a ritual（仪式）.Come up with an effective ritual for the day of your performance. This could be a five-kilometer jog on the morning of your performance, the same “last meal” before your performance, or even singing a certain song in the shower or putting on your lucky socks. Do whatever you have to do to lead yourself toward success. A lucky charm is also a great part of a ritual. It could be a necklace that's important to you, or a silly stuffed animal like a teddy bear that cheers you on from your dressing room. Think positively. Think about all of the possible amazing results of your performance instead of everything that could go wrong.. .Fight every negative thought with five positive ones. Keep a small card with encouraging words in your pocket, or do whatever you need to do to focus on all of the benefits that the performance will give you. Get advice from a professional performer. If you have friends who have experienced performing, ask for their advice. You may learn some new tips and will be comforted by the fact that everyone gets stage fright, no matter how confident he or she may appear on stage. 1.Is stage fright common for everyone？（no more than 3 words） __________ Yes, it is. 2.How should we walk onto the stage in order to fake confidence？ （no more than 14 words） ______________________________________________________________ We should walk with our head high and a big smile on our face. 3.Why does the writer encourage us to get advice from a professional performer？（no more than 19 words） ________________________________________________________________ __________________________________ Because we may learn some new tips and will be comforted by the fact that everyone gets stage fright. 38 4.请将文中画线的句子翻译成汉语。 ______________________________________________________________ 想想所有你的表现可能带来的惊人结果,而不是所有可能出错的事情。 5.请给短文拟一个适当的英文标题。 ______________________________ How to Deal with Stage Fright 【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了应对怯场的一些方法。 39 Passage 8（2024淄博市临淄区二模） At the beginning of the new millennium （千年）, technology companies created a number of products that changed the world. They changed the lives of adults and children. Young people had been watching television since the 1950s, but the new technology was more portable（便携的） and personalized. However, the companies that made these products had done little research on the influence on mental health. Some social media companies did great harm to girls, and video game 40 companies mainly influenced boys. By designing addictive products that entered children's lives through their eyes and ears, these companies replaced physical play and face-to-face communication, changing children's lives forever. The generation born after 1995, known as Gen Z, became the first generation to grow up with a device in their pocket. It pulled them away from the people around them and into an exciting, addictive, but unstable world. To succeed socially in this world, Gen Z teenagers spend a lot of time managing their online presence, posting photos and videos of their lives. They spend many hours each day scrolling through the shiny happy posts of friends, acquaintances and strangers. They also watch an increasing amount （数量） of user-generated videos and streamed entertainment. A big reason for the change was boys playing online multiplayer games in the late 2000s and using smartphones in the early 2010s. These activities pulled them away from face-to-face communication. From the early 2010s, boys in many Western countries began to show signs of poorer mental health. By 2015, many of these boys said that they had no close friends. They felt lonely, and thought that there was no meaning or direction in their lives. However, we are not helpless to change this situation. It might feel like we can't do anything because smartphones, social media and social influence trap us in a collective action problem. When boys start secondary school, they face this problem. On their first day, they see some of their classmates with smartphones and are connecting on Instagram and Snapchat, even during class time. That puts pressure on them to get a smartphone and social media as well. 1.What made the new technology different from television？ ________________________________________________________ It/The new technology was more portable and personalized. 2.Who are Gen Z？ _______________________________ The generation born after 1995. 3.What does the underlined word “They”in Paragraph 2 refer to？ _________________ Gen Z teenagers. 【解析】根据画线词的前两句可知they指的是Z时代青年。 4.What happened to the boys in many Western countries from the early 2010s？ _________________________________________________ They began to show signs of poorer mental health. 44 5.If you see your classmates using smartphones, do you want to get a phone？Why？ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一些科技公司通过设计 让人上瘾的产品,通过孩子的眼睛和耳朵进入他们的生活,从而影响了他们 的心理健康。 No, I don't. Because if I get a phone, I can't focus on my study./Yes, I do. Because I can use it to improve my learning. （开放性试题,答案不唯一,言之有理即可） 45 Passage 9（2024青岛市北区二模改编） Fun in the Run Thousands of runners did up their running shoes and poured out from the starting line while crowds cheered along the course.

According to the Chinese Athletics Association, a total of 133 marathons across the country have been reported for the first six months of the year. On March 26, more than 300,000 runners took part in 26 marathon events nationwide, said China Daily. 46 Teenagers have also taken part in marathons. Xu Qian, a 15-year-old from Suqian, Jiangsu, loves running. He got first place in the 5-kilometer Happy Run of the Jingdong Suqian Marathon held on April 2. For Xu, the race meant months of training and preparation. He ran about 30 to 40 kilometers each week ahead of the run. “Unlike the 800-meter run at school which is more about speed, a marathon tests a runner's willpower （意志力）, ” he told Teens. When he felt tired during the race, he told himself not to give up. “In long-distance running, the only enemy you have to beat is yourself.” Xu added. Along with one's willpower, kindness from the fans also plays a big part in helping runners get to the finish line. Li Zhouzi from Shanxi took part in a 3-kilometer Kid Run of the Berlin Marathon in Germany in 2019 when she was 10. The support from the people cheering along the course really encouraged her. “When things were hard, people from across the world cheered me on. Even if it was just the words ‘keep it up’, it meant a lot to me and I was encouraged to keep going to the end,”Li told Teens. She believes that running a marathon is about staying focused on the final goal, not the suffering along the way. “Likewise, our life is also a marathon,” Li said. 48 1.Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. ________________________________________ 在长跑中,你唯一要打败的敌人就是你自己。 2.How many kilometers did Xu Qian run every week before the race? ____________________ 30 to 40 kilometers. 3.What can help the runner get to the finish line？ ________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ Along with one's willpower, kindness from the fans also plays a big part in helping runners get to the finish line. 4.What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 4？ ____________ Keep it up. 49 5.What can we learn from this passage？ ________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________ We can learn that a marathon tests a runner's willpower, so does our life.（开放性试题,答案不唯一,言之有理即可） 【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国马拉松比赛的兴起 和参与者的故事。 50 Passage 10 China is popular and widely used now.

As one of the oldest inventions and art forms from ancient China, china is made of clay and hardened with heat. the history of china In the middle of the Shang Dynasty, the earliest china appeared, but only rich people could have it. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, china was made to be used in common people's daily life. The Tang and Song 51 Dynasties were a time of rapid development for china. Tang Tricolor （唐三彩） was one of the finest. And china was highly praised by foreigners at that time. In the Song Dynasty, many famous kilns（窑） appeared. However, the china development was slow in the Yuan Dynasty because of wars. The china industry reached its top period in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. For example, the blue and white bowls and bottles are even better known today. In 851, the famous Arab（阿拉伯） traveler Suleiman was one of the first foreigners to mention and praise china in his writing Chain of Chronicles. He wrote, “In China, there is a very fine clay. It can be used to make china which is as transparent（透明的） as glass, and water is seen through it.” 53 the process of making china The ancient craftsmen put all their power and love in their china works.

Before putting the colored clay into the kiln, they should watch the changes in the weather carefully. After the clay entered the kiln, the craftsmen must judge（判断） the temperature changes in the kiln. When taken out of the kiln, the clay would finally become the china art with a soul（灵魂）. 54 the influence of china Over thousands of years, china was widely used in the daily life, such as cooking, storing things and holding food or water. People used it to improve their living conditions. During the Tang Dynasty, china was widely spread to neighboring Korea and Japan and as far away as Egypt. China was also shipped to Europe. And because of it, people's life became more colorful. Gradually, china products became internationally known and Chinese culture was also introduced abroad. 55 1.What is china? ___________________________________________________ It is a kind of products for storing or holding things. 2.Why does the example of Suleiman appear after Paragraph 2? ________________________________________________________________ __________________________________ To show that china was highly praised by foreigners./To show that foreigners spoke highly of china./… 3.What's the third step of making china? ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________ It is to watch the changes in the weather carefully./Watch the changes in the weather carefully. 56 4.How did china influence people's life? ________________________________________________________________ ____________ It helped to improve their living conditions and made their life more colorful./… 5.What's your better understanding of china? ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了瓷器的历史、制作过程 及影响。 It is a typical symbol of Chinese culture./It shows the wisdom of ancient Chinese people./It is a famous art form that has been passed down for thousands of years.（开放性试题,答案不唯一,言之有理即可） 57 Passage 11（2024潍坊市高新区二模） A lot of people think that they are not good at learning a new language. However, experts say that we can all learn from the behavior of good language learners to become better at languages. Good language learners look for chances to hear and use the new language outside of the classroom, as a result, they learn the language more quickly. If they're studying in a country where the language is spoken, this is easy to do. However, if they are studying in a country 58 where the language is not spoken, there are still ways to practice outside of class. They might read newspapers in that language, listen to the news, or join chat rooms. All of these are great chances to practice and can also be fun. What's more, good language learners try different ways to make their message understood. For example, if they do not know the word for “laundromat”, they might say “the place where you can wash clothes”. If that does not work, they might even try drawing a laundromat with washers and dryers, or acting. The point is that good language learners are creative and do not easily give up. Because of these qualities, they can learn more and better. Finally, good language learners are prepared to take risks. They think that making mistakes is natural and is necessary to learn. As a result, instead of being uneasy by a mistake or getting upset when they do not understand, they see it as earning（获得） a learning chance. For example, if they do not understand what someone says for the first time, they are not afraid to ask them to repeat it again and again until they do understand. Learning a language well takes time. However, looking for chances to practice the language, trying different ways to communicate, taking risks, and being prepared to make mistakes will help you become a skilled and confident language learner in the long run. 1.What can you do to become better at languages according to the experts？ ___________________________________________________________ We can all learn from the behavior of good language learners. 2.Why do good language learners learn a language more quickly？ ________________________________________________________________ _________________________ Because they look for chances to hear and use the new language outside of the classroom. 62 3.Please translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. ________________________________________________________________ __________ 如果还不行,他们甚至可以试着画一个有洗衣机和烘干机的洗衣店,或者表演一下。 4.How do good language learners feel about making mistakes？ ________________________________________________________________ They think that making mistakes is natural and is necessary to learn. 63 5.Which behavior of good language learners do you agree？ Please list two and give your reasons. ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何成为一个好的语言 学习者。 I agree that making mistakes is natural and necessary. Because we can learn from these mistakes. And I agree trying different ways is also useful. Because we can learn more and better.（开放性试题， 答案不唯一,合理即可） 64 Passage 12（2024威海市环翠区一模改编） Getting Up to Speed The best way to begin training is by alternately（交替地） walking and running. This allows your body to become used to the challenge of running without overdoing it. Begin your first week with running for two minutes and walking for four minutes. Do this sequence（一系列） five times in a row, four times a week. 65 If you feel comfortable doing this sequence after a week, you're ready to progress to the next level. If it still feels challenging, continue with it for another week. When you decide to move to the next level, you'll run three minutes and walk for three minutes. Continue to progress each week, increasing the time you spend running and decreasing the time you spend walking, until you reach 30 minutes of continuous running. When you are running, you should be able to comfortably talk with your running friend. If you are pushing yourself too hard, talking will be difficult because you'll be short of breath. The days of the week that you don't run, try some different kinds of fitness activities, like hiking, ice skating, jumping rope, or playing basketball. You'll find that these activities use different muscles（肌肉） than running does. This kind of cross-training can help you get into even better shape than only repeating a single activity. Don't forget to schedule at least one day of rest every week. It's always a good idea to give your body a chance to recover from your daily workouts（锻炼）. Consider keeping a runner's log or journal. You can record the weather, your route, the distance you ran, and how you felt. You might notice that you prefer running early in the day or that eating an orange before you go for a run gives you a good boost in energy. Most of all, remember to have fun. Running is just one of many different activities you can do to stay in shape. Change your routine to keep it interesting enough, and bring along a friend to keep you company. Note：Children under the age of 14 should not regularly run more than three miles at a time. Children's bones are still growing, and the cartilage （软骨） at the ends of the bones is softer than adults', which means that it is easier to injure. 1.What are some types（类型） of fitness activities mentioned in the passage besides running？ _______________________________________________________ Hiking, ice skating, jumping rope, and playing basketball. 2.What do you think cross-training is？ __________________________________________ Try some different kinds of fitness activities. 3.Write a summary（总结） sentence for Paragraph 5. ________________________________________________________________ __________ Cross-training can help us get into better shape.（答案不唯一，大意正确即可） 70 4.What kind of information could be recorded in a runner's log？ _________________________________________________________________ The weather, the route, the distance he/she ran, and how he/she felt. 5.Why shouldn't children under the age of 14 regularly run more than three miles at a time？ _____________________________ Because it is easier to injure. 【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了运动的方法和建议。 71 Passage 13 热点素材 Zheng Qinwen, a 22-year-old Chinese girl who is talented in playing tennis, won the first gold medal（奖牌） in the women's singles tennis at the Paris Olympics on August 3rd, 2024. This is the first time that Chinese team has won the Olympic gold medal in women's singles tennis, and the second in tennis after Li Ting and Sun Tiantian won the women's doubles title at the 2002 Athens Olympic Games. 72 “Nothing can describe my feeling right now.

Using it probably seems as natural as breathing. Yet compared with the knife and the spoon, which appeared very early, the fork is a latecomer（后来者） to the table. Researches show that the fork was first used in Ancient Egypt （埃及）, China and Greece（希腊）. Since the 4th century BC, the fork managed to become common on the tables of upper society in 77 Eastern Europe and by the 9th century, it travelled to the Middle East and started being used by the upper class under the name “barjyn”. This enabled the fork to slowly become popular in these areas. In the 11th century, the fork came to Italy in the dowry of a princess（王妃的嫁妆） from the Middle East who married an Italian official. When the church saw the princess use the fork, they strongly criticized（批评） her, saying that the fork disrespected the practice of using the fingers. Then the fork disappeared from the table for nearly 300 years. It began to be accepted in Italy by the late 16th century. However, most European countries accepted the fork only by the 18th century and the United States didn't welcome it until the early 19th century. During its life, the fork has changed in terms of appearance. In its early use, the fork had only two tines（齿）. As the centuries went on, its design slowly started taking on a modern look. The fork which has four tines was introduced in the 18th century in Germany. By the early 20th century, the invention of stainless steel（不锈钢） enabled the fork to be made more easily. 1.Which is a latecomer to the table, the knife, the spoon or the fork？ （no more than 2 words） __________ The fork. 2.In what countries was the fork first used？ （no more than 6 words） ____________________________________ In Ancient Egypt, China and Greece. 3.When did most European countries accept the fork？ （no more than 4 words） ____________________ By the 18th century. 80 4.请把文中划线的句子翻译成汉语。 __________________________________________ 这种有四个齿的叉子是18世纪在德国引进的。 5.请给短文拟一个适当的英文题目。 ____________________________________ The Development/History of the Fork 【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了叉子的起源和发展。 81 Passage 15 As a tour guide in New York City, Jessica Higgins gets to share her love of the “Big Apple” with tourists from all over the world.
