Are you similar to Martin Luther King or Albert Einstein? Read about these types and find out. The Dreamer A dreamer thinks there is a “right” way to do things. This person wants to live in the “perfect world”. A dreamer is often hard-working and organized. Many are good listeners and like to help others. Many dreamers work as teachers, lawyers, and in leadership roles. Famous dreamers: Mohandas Gandhi. Martin King Jr. The Partner A partner wants to be in a group. For this person, group harmony is important. And rules can help us live in harmony because they can keep everything in good order and help the members avoid arguing. Partners are often serious, careful people. Many do well as teachers, managers, police officers, and politicians. Famous partners: Mother Teresa, Queen Elizabeth II The thinker For thinkers, understanding things is very important. They like to solve problems and make new things. Thinkers can also be competitive. They like to win. They are independent and often have very strong opinions. Many thinkers work as scientists, inventors, politicians, and engineers. Famous thinkers: Bill Gates The Artist Artists want to be free. They don’t want to follow the rules all the time. Artists like action and are often impulsive (冲动的). They also like trying new things. Like thinkers, many artists have strong opinions. Many artists are creative and do well as musicians, actors, fashion designers, and athletes.

Many of them will become large cities with a population of more than 10 million. Moving people around each large city will be difficult. The traffic speed (速度) in London will fall to about 7 miles (英里) per (每) hour. Around the same speed (速度) it was 150 years ago, in the days of the horse and cart. But city planners are working on ways to solve (解决) the problem. Self-driving cars Robot taxis Self-driving cars (无人驾驶汽车) or robot taxis will play a part. There’ll be more than 30 million self-driving cars on the road by 2040. People don’t need to drive by themselves. By 2050, there will be robot taxis in the city streets. We can call the taxis very quickly. Buses Public transport (公共交通工具) like buses will be highly personalized (个性化). People don’t need to look through the bus timetable. Buses will be connected on the Internet and make the way by themselves according to (根据) where the people need to go. Bikes Bikes will be helpful and safe, too. Cities could build special roads for them high above city streets. Xiamen in southeast China already has an 8-kilometer bicycle way to protect riders like that.

Bikes in the Future D. Transport in the Future Passage 3 China has made great achievements in biodiversity（生物多样性） protection. Building a national park system is one of the greatest jobs that China has done so far. In October 2021, China’s first five national parks were designated (认定). They are home to nearly 30% of the earth’s key wildlife species (物种) found in China, covering a protected land area of 230,000 square kilometers. This table will inform you of the first five national parks—China’s treasures in nature. Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park Locations: Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces Landscapes: Mountains, hills, and valleys Representative species: Siberian tiger, Amur leopard (豹) Progress: Increasing population of protected animal species from the year of 2015 to 2022—Siberian tigers: 27→50; Amur leopards: 42→60 Sanjiangyuan National Park Locations: Qinghai Province and Xizang Autonomous Region Landscapes: Glaciers, snow-capped mountains, high-altitude wetlands, deserts, alpine grasslands Representative species: Snow leopard, Tibetan antelope Progress: At present, the vegetation coverage of the grassland in the park has been over 60%, which is nearly 5% higher than that in 2015.

Passage 4 Trees can keep a record of Earth’s climate for a very long time. In fact, trees can live for hundreds – and sometimes even thousands of years!  If you see a stump (树桩), you may find that the top of the stump has many rings. These rings can tell us how old the tree is, and what the weather was like during each year of the tree’s life.  Tree rings usually grow wider in warm, wet years and are thinner in years when it is cold and dry. If the tree has experienced hard times, such as a drought , the tree might hardly grow at all in those years. First year growth. Scar(疤痕)from forest fire. The light-colored rings are wood that grew in the spring and early summer, while the dark rings are wood that grew in the late summer and fall. One light ring and one dark ring make one year of the tree's life. Rainy season. Dry season. In most places, daily weather records have only been kept for the past 100 to 150 years. So, scientists can use trees to learn about the climate hundreds to thousands of years ago. 1. According to the poster, which part of a tree can record the climate? A. Its rings. B. Its leaves. C.

Passage 5 The Temple of Heaven, in southern Beijing, was first built in 1420 and was rebuilt during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties would admire the god and hope for good harvest（收获）. It is the largest group of buildings in the world to pay homage（致敬）to god. The Potala Palace was built in the seventh century and it has a long history of over 1300 years. In 641, Songtsan Gambo, the ruler of the Tubo kingdom, asked his people to build it for princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty. It has 13 floors and is 117 meters high. And it is made of wood and stone. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses (兵马俑) is the greatest historical and cultural site (遗址) in Lintong, Xi'an, Shanxi Province. Emperor Qin Shi Huang began to build it at the age of 13. It took 11 years. The terracotta figures（秦俑） have the same size as a real man. They have different heights, clothes and hairstyles because of their different levels. The Mogao Caves (莫高窟) is formed by 49.2 temples, 25 kilometers southeast of the center of Dunhuang. It is also called the Caves of a Thousand Buddhas (千佛洞). The largest statue（雕像）in front of the cave wall is 34.5 meters high and the smallest is only 2cm high.

Around those trees was the home of many lions. Those lions killed other animals and ate them. The bodies of the animals always made the air bad, and many trees thought the place was not fit to live in any more. One day, two trees were talking. The first tree said, “These lions are polluting our home. We have to save our home from them. Let’s drive them away.” “Yes,” agreed the other tree. An old tree was listening to them. He said, “They may be polluting the air. But they are keeping us safe. No people are brave enough to come into our home.” But his words did not change the idea of the two trees. They finally did that. That evening, the two trees started shaking very hard. “We will make the lions afraid, so they will leave our home and never come back again,” the two trees said and laughed. All the other trees joined them. “Don’t do that,” shouted the old tree. But the other trees did not listen. They made great noises. “Something horrible is happening. Let’s run away,” all the animals said. The two trees were happy. “Huh! Now we can enjoy some fresh air,” they said. But they were only happy for a few days. One day a man came and started cutting down the trees. “Now I don’t need to be afraid of the lions,” he said to himself. Soon there were other people. “Now all of us will die,” said the old tree.“How stupid we are. We should listen to this old tree,” the other trees said sadly.

That night, I just had a strong desire (渴望) to let Mom and Dad know how much I loved them, how much they meant to me, and how thankful I was for what they gave me. Because I was too shy to tell them my feelings face to face, I wrote the note and put it on the desk in their bedroom. I imagined how they would feel after they read the note thousands of times before going to bed. Early the next morning, I heard a soft knock at my door. As soon as I opened the door, I found my mom and dad standing outside. They kissed me and thanked me for the note. Mom said that she was thinking I was a little child, but to her surprise, I grew into a young boy unconsciously (不知不觉地). Dad said he was happy that I could share my true feelings with them. Seeing the smiles on their faces made me laugh happily. At the same time, I was surprised that my simple words could touch them so much. On that day, I saw my dad cry for the first time.

One evening, Brownie’s family noticed that Brownie hadn’t come home. They went out to look for him but with no success. Brownie didn’t appear the next day, and by the next week, he was still missing. Brownie’s family thought maybe he left home to make some new friends. Spotty went to Brownie’s house alone. He barked loudly. But Brownie’s family was too busy to care about him. Finally, one morning Spotty followed Ted, Brownie’s owner, everywhere he went. He barked, then ran toward a nearby empty lot (空地) and looked back, as if to say, “Follow me!” Ted followed the dog across the empty lot. The little dog took the man to a tree a half mile from the house. There Ted found Brownie alive. One of his legs was caught in a trap (老鼠夹子). Ted wished he had come earlier.

She is honoured as a role model in China’s fight against poverty (贫穷). Her name is Xia Sen. Over the past years, Xia Sen has given most of her money to students from poor families in Danfeng, Shaanxi and Shangyou, Jiangxi. With the help of the money, those students were able to go to school. Xia was born in 1923. She was only 15 years old when she became a teacher in Yan’an. She kept learning when she was teaching. Years later, she went to work as a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. In 2006, Xia visited a primary school in Danfeng. The school was old and students didn’t have a good learning environment. That made her very sad. She spent 20,000 yuan buying desks and books for the students. In 2008, she gave away 200,000 yuan to help another primary school in Danfeng build a classroom building. It is a building with eight bright and clean classrooms. It is very different from the old one. Five years later, Xia used one million yuan of her savings to set up the “Xia Sen Scholarship (夏森助学金)” to help high school and college students from poor families in Danfeng and Shangyou.

Passage 5 “Dad,” I say one day, “Let’s take a trip. Why don’t you fly and meet me?” My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought and his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks. My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure. He agrees to travel with me through the national parks, We meet four weeks later in Rapid City. “What is our first stop?” asks my father. “What time is it?” “Still don’t have a watch?” Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite (花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of a little boy. “Unbelievable.” he says. “How was this done?” A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son. We stare up and I ask myself, “Would I ever devote my life to anything?” “No directions, no goals.” I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own. The next day we’re at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic. “Did you ever travel with your dad?” I ask. “Only once,” he says. “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.” The last sentence—it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father. And what I’d want my child to say about me. In Glacier National Park, my father says, “I’ve never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep traveling, I realize and maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I feared. Weeks after our trip, I call my father. “The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he says. “We have got to take another trip like that sometime.” I tell him I’ve decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch. 1. We can learn from Paragraph 2 and that the father ________. A. followed the fashion B. got bored with his job C. was unhappy with the author’s lifestyle D. liked the author’s collection of stamps 2. What does the author realize at Mount Rushmore? A. His father is interested in sculpture. B. His father is as innocent as a little boy. C. He should learn sculpture in the future. D.

They decide to learn photography together. D. They begin to change their attitudes to life. 5. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Love Nature Love Life B. A Son Lost in Adventures C. A Journey with Dad D. The Art of Travel 说明文 Passage 1 ①Can trees talk? Some scientists find that trees can really “talk”! ②Some trees use chemicals (化学物质) to talk. When insects attack them, they gives out chemicals from the leaves. This is like a call for help, “I’m being attacked!” Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others can call birds to come to kill the insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this, so that we can use it to keep insects away from crops like rice. ③More surprisingly, trees also use sound to talk. People can’t hear these sounds, but trees are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Some trees make noises when there is not enough water. ④Most surprisingly of all, trees have an “Internet” to give out and get information in a big forest. Scientists call it the “Wood Wide Web” (树联网). The fungi (真菌) underground help build up the “Wood Wide Web” among the roots of different trees. It is just like the Internet we use. Using the “Wood Wide Web”, trees can share information and even food with each other. However, it may also be harmful. Some trees may use it to take too much food from others, or give out chemicals to hurt other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to build a “Great Wall” to help stop these. ⑤Trees talk to each other in different ways. Now, scientists are learning more about these ways and maybe one day we will be able to “talk” with trees ourselves. 1. Trees can “talk” in different ways. How many ways does the passage show? ________ A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 2. What does the word “attack” mean in paragraph 2?  ________ A. Hurt. B. Burn. C. Protect. D. Catch. 3.

They hope people to hear their sound. 4. If there is no rain for a long time, what disadvantages (坏处) may the “Wood Wide Web” bring?  ________ A. Insects may eat more leaves. B. Fungi may not be able to work. C. Some tees may take in water from others. D. Scientists may build up a wall in the forest. 5. What is the structure of the passage?  ________ A. B. C. D. Passage 2 Poyang Lake is China’s largest fresh-water lake. According to the news on China Youth Network on October 9, 2019, the lake came to its dry season, much earlier than before. Fishermen could no longer make a living and people living nearby faced water shortage (短缺). You are wrong if you think this will not happen again. Two-thirds of China’s cities now face water shortages. And about 300 million people living in the countryside drink unhealthy water. The water shortage in the world looks even sadder. By 2030, about half of the world population could be facing water shortages, said Ban Ki-moon at the Budapest Water Summit in Hungary. Think about our children and our children’s children. We should try to make the world a better place. To deal with the problem, Ban calls on people to use water in a sustainable way.” Farmers should learn to get more ‘crop per drop’ by using good irrigation technologies (灌溉技术). And also, governments should deal with the problem with all other players, including everyone,” Ban said. How can we help? It’s simple: do not waste even a drop of water! For example, turn off the tap while you are brushing your teeth, drink up bottled water before you throw the bottle away, and don’t pour out water that can be reused. If we can remember and follow this, we will make a difference. 6. Which of the following can show the structure (结构) of the passage?________ A. B. C. D. 7. People living near the Poyang Lake faced ________ shortages. A. food B. electricity C. water D. gas 8.

To talk about some water problems. C. To tell us why water shortages happen. D. To show the importance of Poyang Lake. 10. What’s the best title of the passage?________ A. A Way to Poyang Lake B. Water Shortages C. Irrigation Technologies D. Unhealthy Water Passage 3 Tea to the Chinese is like coffee to the Americans. It’s something that they can’t live without. Today, China has many kinds of tea: white, yellow, green, oolong, black, and dark tea. When we talk about tea culture, we can’t miss an important person Lu Yu. He was the first person to be called “Tea Doctor”, because he wrote the first book about tea—The Classic of Tea (《茶经》). Lu was born in 733 and lived in the Tang Dynasty. As a homeless child, he lived in Longgai Temple (寺庙) and studied there including boiling (煮) tea. When he was thirteen, Jingling Prefect (太守) Li Qiwu not only gave him books but also lead him to learn from a famous teacher. He learned a lot about tea there. At the age of 21, Lu started to study different kinds of tea so he travelled around to look for tea. To study tea picking and making skills well, Lu Yu lived in a temple to collect, check, study and read books about tea. Finally, he wrote a great book—The Classic of Tea with the help of his friend. 1. How many kinds of tea are mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Five. B. Six. C. Seven. D. Eight. 2. Why was Lu Yu called the first “Tea Doctor”? A. Because he liked drinking tea very much. B. Because he taught people how to boil tea. C. Because he wrote the first book about tea. D.

Lu Yu was born in 733 and lived in the Song Dynasty. D. Lu Yu finished writing The Classic of Tea alone. 5. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Chinese Tea Culture. B. Lu Yu and his friends. C. The Classic of Tea. D. The life of Lu Yu. Passage 4 Rainforests cover six percent of the Earth’s surface. There are rainforests in many parts of the world, but the biggest forests are in South America, Africa and Southeast Asia. There aren’t any rainforests in Europe or North America. About 75 percent of animals live in rainforests. There are many beautiful birds, insects and so on. Many of them live in the trees, over 30 metres from the ground. There are also thousands of different plants. Lots of them are tall trees! It is always hot in the rainforests and the ground is always wet. It is also very dark there. The rainforests are very important for us. We need them! The trees and other plants in the forest help make the air clean. They also help control the weather. They give us wood, rubber, fruits and many of our medicines. Unfortunately, in many places, the rainforests are in danger. For example, many years ago there was a large rainforest in Java, but now there is nothing. The same thing happens now in many other parts of the world. We can never imagine a world without rainforests. If rainforests disappeared from the Earth, we wouldn’t find any trees, flowers or fruits. What’s more, we wouldn’t get clean air, and we wouldn’t find any animals. The worst result would be that we wouldn’t find any humans. It’s time to take action to save rainforests. 1. Where can we find the biggest forests? A. In Asia. B. In Africa. C. In America. D. In Europe. 2. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The animals. B. The birds. C.

Results for losing rainforests. 5. Where can we probably find the passage? A. In a travel guide. B. In a story book. C. In a nature magazine. D. In a dictionary. Passage 5 Here is my favorite water cycle experiment. Before the experiment, teach your students about the water cycle and the following words: evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection. Water on Earth keeps going around in the water cycle. When the sun heats the water, some of it turns to a gas (water vapour). This is evaporation. Then this water vapour rises into the air. When the water vapour meets the cold air in the sky, it turns back to water drops and collects in clouds. This is condensation. When too many water drops form in a cloud, the cloud gets heavy and the water falls back to the earth as rain or snow. This is precipitation. When the water falls back to the earth, it may fall back in the rivers, lakes, the cycle begins all over again. This science experiment will help show the water cycle. ●Put a small cup in the center of a large bowl. ●Fill the bowl with water about 2/3 of the way up the cup (do not put water inside the cup). ●Cover the bowl with a plastic (塑料的) bag and tie it. ●Put it outside in a sunny area for a few hours. After several hours, the plastic bag will have water drops on it and some of the water will have dropped into the cup. This experiment shows the heat of the sun turning the water in the bowl to vapour. The vapour turns back to water drops on the plastic bag. Drops get too heavy and fall back down to the water in the bowl or in the cup just like mountains or land on Earth. After the experiment, check students’ understanding of the water cycle by asking them to draw a map of the journey of the water in the experiment. 1. What does the underlined “it” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The sky. B. The cloud. C. The vapour. D. The cold air. 2. When does the water fall back to the earth? A. When the air gets cold. B. When the sun heats the water. C. When water turns into water vapour. D. When too much water collects in a cloud. 3. Which step of the water cycle does the underlined sentence show us? A. Precipitation. B. Evaporation. C. Condensation. D. Collection. 4. The passage is most probably for ________. A. geoscientists B. high school students C. junior high school teachers D. reporters of science magazines Passage 6 Welcome to Beijing: A Wonderful City Beijing, the capital of China, is one of the most popular cities in the world.

Passage 8 Animals are our friends. Sometimes they make trouble, but sometimes they can help us. And they hope to live a happy life, too. Here are two real stories from our readers. The first story is from Ray. "My cat, Tiger, hates it when I use my iPad because it takes my attention away from him. One year, I had a fall at home and was on the floor for 16 hours. During this time, I was unable to move and couldn't get to the phone to call for help. Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed. 'What's he up to?' I wondered. To my surprise, he started to push something towards me. It was my iPad, which I didn't realize had fallen off the bed and onto the floor. He probably didn't know what it was, but he knew that it made me happy. Thanks to Tiger, I was able to communicate with my friend, Becky, who then told my doctor." The second story is from Colin. "Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird-a wild 'Mom' cockatoo（鹦鹉）from the side of the road and kept it as a pet in a big cage(笼子). It lost one of her wings, so she was unable to return to the wild. Soon, two wild cockatoos came visiting and one 'Dad' bird wanted to find his way into the cage. The 'Mom' cockatoo in the cage was soon expecting. But as she couldn't fly, 'Dad' cockatoo built a home in the tree, keeping off everyone who got close to 'Mom' cockatoo. 'Baby' cockatoo would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mom behind. She would sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon. The family stayed together happily." After reading the stories, don’t you think we should get along well with animals? No matter they are our pets or live in the wild, they have their feelings.

In fact, trees can live for hundreds – and sometimes even thousands of years!  If you see a stump (树桩), you may find that the top of the stump has many rings. These rings can tell us how old the tree is, and what the weather was like during each year of the tree’s life.  Tree rings usually grow wider in warm, wet years and are thinner in years when it is cold and dry. If the tree has experienced hard times, such as a drought , the tree might hardly grow at all in those years. First year growth. Scar(疤痕)from forest fire. The light-colored rings are wood that grew in the spring and early summer, while the dark rings are wood that grew in the late summer and fall. One light ring and one dark ring make one year of the tree's life. Rainy season. Dry season. In most places, daily weather records have only been kept for the past 100 to 150 years. So, scientists can use trees to learn about the climate hundreds to thousands of years ago. 1. According to the poster, which part of a tree can record the climate? A. Its rings. B. Its leaves. C. Its roots. D. Its branches. 2. How old is the tree in the poster? A. About 14 years old. B. About 17 years old. C. About 19 years old. D. About 22 years old. 3.

The Potala Palace was built in the seventh century and it has a long history of over 1300 years. In 641, Songtsan Gambo, the ruler of the Tubo kingdom, asked his people to build it for princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty. It has 13 floors and is 117 meters high. And it is made of wood and stone. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses (兵马俑) is the greatest historical and cultural site (遗址) in Lintong, Xi'an, Shanxi Province. Emperor Qin Shi Huang began to build it at the age of 13. It took 11 years. The terracotta figures（秦俑） have the same size as a real man. They have different heights, clothes and hairstyles because of their different levels. The Mogao Caves (莫高窟) is formed by 49.2 temples, 25 kilometers southeast of the center of Dunhuang. It is also called the Caves of a Thousand Buddhas (千佛洞). The largest statue（雕像）in front of the cave wall is 34.5 meters high and the smallest is only 2cm high.

Around those trees was the home of many lions. Those lions killed other animals and ate them. The bodies of the animals always made the air bad, and many trees thought the place was not fit to live in any more. One day, two trees were talking. The first tree said, “These lions are polluting our home. We have to save our home from them. Let’s drive them away.” “Yes,” agreed the other tree. An old tree was listening to them. He said, “They may be polluting the air. But they are keeping us safe. No people are brave enough to come into our home.” But his words did not change the idea of the two trees. They finally did that. That evening, the two trees started shaking very hard. “We will make the lions afraid, so they will leave our home and never come back again,” the two trees said and laughed. All the other trees joined them. “Don’t do that,” shouted the old tree. But the other trees did not listen. They made great noises. “Something horrible is happening. Let’s run away,” all the animals said. The two trees were happy. “Huh! Now we can enjoy some fresh air,” they said. But they were only happy for a few days. One day a man came and started cutting down the trees. “Now I don’t need to be afraid of the lions,” he said to himself. Soon there were other people. “Now all of us will die,” said the old tree.“How stupid we are. We should listen to this old tree,” the other trees said sadly. A few minutes later, the two trees were cut down. 1. Many trees thought their place was not fit to live in, because ________. A. the lions were always eating the other animals.

I didn’t write anything to them before. That night, I just had a strong desire (渴望) to let Mom and Dad know how much I loved them, how much they meant to me, and how thankful I was for what they gave me. Because I was too shy to tell them my feelings face to face, I wrote the note and put it on the desk in their bedroom.

Why don’t you fly and meet me?” My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought and his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks. My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure. He agrees to travel with me through the national parks, We meet four weeks later in Rapid City. “What is our first stop?” asks my father. “What time is it?” “Still don’t have a watch?” Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite (花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of a little boy. “Unbelievable.” he says. “How was this done?” A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son. We stare up and I ask myself, “Would I ever devote my life to anything?” “No directions, no goals.” I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own. The next day we’re at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic. “Did you ever travel with your dad?” I ask. “Only once,” he says. “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.” The last sentence—it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father. And what I’d want my child to say about me. In Glacier National Park, my father says, “I’ve never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep traveling, I realize and maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I feared. Weeks after our trip, I call my father. “The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he says. “We have got to take another trip like that sometime.” I tell him I’ve decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch. 1.

C 【解析】本文讲述了作者和父亲出去旅行的经历，让父亲体会到了旅行带来的快乐，同时作者也找到了人生的方向，确定目标安顿下来。 1.推理判断题。根据“My father sees me drifting aimlessly…”及“He wants me to settle down”可知，父亲认为作者的生活没有目标，年来一事无成，希望他能安顿下来，故选C。 2.细节理解题。根据“No directions, no goals. I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own”可知，之前作者总是听父亲说他的生活没有目标，现在作者自己内心里也在对之前的生活方式产生怀疑，这让他意识到自己应该设定一个目标，故选D。 3.句意猜测题。从“I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other-but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave”可以看出，父亲和他的父亲是彼此深爱，但都不向对方表达，作者认识到自己和父亲也是这样的，作者开始理解父母的爱是什么了，故选B。 4.推理判断题。根据“We have got to take another trip like that sometime”以及“I tell him I’ve decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch”可知，不爱旅行的父亲爱上了旅行，不想安顿下来的儿子也要安顿下来了，他们都改变了对生活的态度，故选D。 5.最佳标题。本文围绕作者和父亲的一次旅行，让作者明白了父母对孩子们的爱，以及让作者下定决心要设定目标安顿下来，故选C。 说明文 Passage 1 ①Can trees talk? Some scientists find that trees can really “talk”! ②Some trees use chemicals (化学物质) to talk. When insects attack them, they gives out chemicals from the leaves. This is like a call for help, “I’m being attacked!” Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others can call birds to come to kill the insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this, so that we can use it to keep insects away from crops like rice. ③More surprisingly, trees also use sound to talk. People can’t hear these sounds, but trees are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Some trees make noises when there is not enough water. ④Most surprisingly of all, trees have an “Internet” to give out and get information in a big forest. Scientists call it the “Wood Wide Web” (树联网). The fungi (真菌) underground help build up the “Wood Wide Web” among the roots of different trees. It is just like the Internet we use. Using the “Wood Wide Web”, trees can share information and even food with each other. However, it may also be harmful. Some trees may use it to take too much food from others, or give out chemicals to hurt other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to build a “Great Wall” to help stop these. ⑤Trees talk to each other in different ways. Now, scientists are learning more about these ways and maybe one day we will be able to “talk” with trees ourselves. 1. Trees can “talk” in different ways. How many ways does the passage show? ________ A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 2. What does the word “attack” mean in paragraph 2?  ________ A. Hurt. B. Burn. C. Protect. D. Catch. 3. Why may trees make noise according to paragraph 3?  ________ A. They want to use chemicals. B. They need more water to keep alive. C. They would like to share information. D. They hope people to hear their sound. 4. If there is no rain for a long time, what disadvantages (坏处) may the “Wood Wide Web” bring?  ________ A. Insects may eat more leaves. B. Fungi may not be able to work. C. Some tees may take in water from others. D. Scientists may build up a wall in the forest. 5. What is the structure of the passage?  ________ A. B. C. D. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. C 5. A 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲了树以不同的方式相互交流。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Some trees use chemicals (化学物质) to talk. ”、第三段“More surprisingly, trees also use sound to talk. ”和第四段“Most surprisingly of all, trees have an “Internet” to give out and get information in a big forest.”可知树可以通过化学物质、声音和树联网“说话”，文章共展示了三种方式。故选C。 2. 词义猜测题。根据第二段“When insects attack them, they gives out chemicals from the leaves.”可知它们呼救是因为它们受到了伤害，所以推测attack是“攻击、伤害”与hurt同义。故选A。 3. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Some trees make noises when there is not enough water.”可知一些树发出声音是需要水。故选B。 4. 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, it may also be harmful. Some trees may use it to take too much food from others, or give out chemicals to hurt other plants. ”可推测当缺水时，一些树可能会汲取别的树的水。故选C。 5. 篇章结构题。通读文章可知，第一段总体讲树会交流，第二、三、四段分别讲了树用化学物质、声音、“树联网”来交流，最后一段讲总结树用不同的方式交流。故选A。 Passage 2 Poyang Lake is China’s largest fresh-water lake. According to the news on China Youth Network on October 9, 2019, the lake came to its dry season, much earlier than before. Fishermen could no longer make a living and people living nearby faced water shortage (短缺). You are wrong if you think this will not happen again. Two-thirds of China’s cities now face water shortages. And about 300 million people living in the countryside drink unhealthy water. The water shortage in the world looks even sadder. By 2030, about half of the world population could be facing water shortages, said Ban Ki-moon at the Budapest Water Summit in Hungary. Think about our children and our children’s children. We should try to make the world a better place. To deal with the problem, Ban calls on people to use water in a sustainable way.” Farmers should learn to get more ‘crop per drop’ by using good irrigation technologies (灌溉技术). And also, governments should deal with the problem with all other players, including everyone,” Ban said. How can we help? It’s simple: do not waste even a drop of water! For example, turn off the tap while you are brushing your teeth, drink up bottled water before you throw the bottle away, and don’t pour out water that can be reused. If we can remember and follow this, we will make a difference. 6. Which of the following can show the structure (结构) of the passage?________ A. B. C. D. 7. People living near the Poyang Lake faced ________ shortages. A. food B. electricity C. water D. gas 8.

Before the experiment, teach your students about the water cycle and the following words: evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection. Water on Earth keeps going around in the water cycle. When the sun heats the water, some of it turns to a gas (water vapour). This is evaporation. Then this water vapour rises into the air. When the water vapour meets the cold air in the sky, it turns back to water drops and collects in clouds. This is condensation. When too many water drops form in a cloud, the cloud gets heavy and the water falls back to the earth as rain or snow. This is precipitation. When the water falls back to the earth, it may fall back in the rivers, lakes, the cycle begins all over again. This science experiment will help show the water cycle. ●Put a small cup in the center of a large bowl. ●Fill the bowl with water about 2/3 of the way up the cup (do not put water inside the cup). ●Cover the bowl with a plastic (塑料的) bag and tie it. ●Put it outside in a sunny area for a few hours. After several hours, the plastic bag will have water drops on it and some of the water will have dropped into the cup. This experiment shows the heat of the sun turning the water in the bowl to vapour. The vapour turns back to water drops on the plastic bag. Drops get too heavy and fall back down to the water in the bowl or in the cup just like mountains or land on Earth. After the experiment, check students’ understanding of the water cycle by asking them to draw a map of the journey of the water in the experiment. 1. What does the underlined “it” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The sky. B. The cloud. C. The vapour. D. The cold air. 2. When does the water fall back to the earth? A. When the air gets cold. B. When the sun heats the water. C. When water turns into water vapour. D. When too much water collects in a cloud. 3. Which step of the water cycle does the underlined sentence show us? A. Precipitation. B. Evaporation. C. Condensation. D. Collection. 4. The passage is most probably for ________. A. geoscientists B. high school students C. junior high school teachers D. reporters of science magazines 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. C 4. C 【解析】本文主要介绍了一个关于水循环的实验。 1. 词义猜测题。根据“When the water vapour meets the cold air in the sky, it turns back to water drops and collects in clouds”可知，当水蒸气遇到天空中的冷空气时，它会变回水滴并聚集在云中，所以it指代“water vapour”，故选C。 2. 细节理解题。根据“When too many water drops form in a cloud, the cloud gets heavy and the water falls back to the earth as rain or snow.”可知，当云中形成太多的水滴时，云就会变重，水就会以雨或雪的形式落回地面，故选D。 3. 推理判断题。根据“This experiment shows the heat of the sun turning the water in the bowl to vapour. The vapour turns back to water drops on the plastic bag”可知，这个实验显示太阳的热量把碗里的水变成水蒸气。水蒸气又变成了塑料袋上的水滴，划线部分向我们展示了凝结这个环节，故选C。 4. 推理判断题。根据“Before the experiment, teach your students”以及“check students’ understanding of the water cycle by asking them to draw a map of the journey of the water in the experiment”可知，这篇文章是写给老师的，故选C。 Passage 6 Welcome to Beijing: A Wonderful City Beijing, the capital of China, is one of the most popular cities in the world.

During this time, I was unable to move and couldn't get to the phone to call for help. Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed. 'What's he up to?' I wondered. To my surprise, he started to push something towards me. It was my iPad, which I didn't realize had fallen off the bed and onto the floor. He probably didn't know what it was, but he knew that it made me happy. Thanks to Tiger, I was able to communicate with my friend, Becky, who then told my doctor." The second story is from Colin. "Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird-a wild 'Mom' cockatoo（鹦鹉）from the side of the road and kept it as a pet in a big cage(笼子). It lost one of her wings, so she was unable to return to the wild. Soon, two wild cockatoos came visiting and one 'Dad' bird wanted to find his way into the cage. The 'Mom' cockatoo in the cage was soon expecting. But as she couldn't fly, 'Dad' cockatoo built a home in the tree, keeping off everyone who got close to 'Mom' cockatoo. 'Baby' cockatoo would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mom behind. She would sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon. The family stayed together happily."
