Zhu Yanjun won the second place in the Chinese Poetry Competition.
He was born in a village in Gansu. After middle school, Zhu became a migrant worker (农民工) in different cities, like many other people from countryside. What made him different was his strong love for poems and books. Whenever he was free, he visited bookstores and libraries. He wrote down poems and recited (背诵) them. Zhu only had a middle school education, but his love for reading began at that time.
Zhu worked at different building sites in more than 10 cities. “There is an old Chinese saying: Reading thousands of books is not as good as travelling thousands of miles,” Zhu said. “However, for me, although I have been to many cities, it is not for travel, but to make a living, so I know more about the world by reading.”
Because Zhu did really well in the poetry competition, the local government provided him with a job at the local cultural center. Although he doesn’t make as much money as before, he doesn't have to leave his hometown now.
“Money is not so important to me. One can live a decent (体面的) life even without lots of money,” he said.

Stupid but serious
You see a cat sunbathing on the playground. “Hello, kitty!” You smile and walk away. About 100 years ago, a scientist saw the same scene (场景). But he stopped and thought. Later, he won the Nobel Prize (诺贝尔奖).
The scientist was Niels Finsen from Denmark (丹麦). He saw a sick cat sleeping in the sun. When the sun moved, the cat moved, too. Why did the cat love the sun so much? To find out the answer, Niels kept watching the cat for days. Amazingly, the cat got better after lots of sunbathing. The sunlight could cure diseases! Then, Niels invented a light to cure human diseases and won the Nobel Prize in 1903.
In fact, many great scientific findings start from “stupid” questions and small things in life.
Scientists may ask: How many lies does a person tell in a day? How many licks (舔) does it take to eat up a lollipop? Why do roses smell good? What can we learn from animal poop (粪便)? And they take it seriously. They watch, think, and do experiments (实验) until they find an answer.
“It’s such a waste of time!” You may say.
But think of the great scientist Newton (牛顿). If he just said “Ouch!” and walked away after he was hit by the apple, what might our world be like?

Eighteen-year-old Duncan Jurman has won the Gloria Barron Prize for his green project. It has brought back butterfly population and called on more youth to protect butterflies.

Why are the leaves on trees different colors? What makes them change color? Leaves use sunlight, water, and air to make food for the trees. This way of making food is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is important to animals as well as plants. Some animals eat plants. Other animals eat these animals.
Summer is playtime. For the leaves of many trees, however, it’s work, work, work! The Sun is shining. The leaves are making food for the trees. The trees keep more than enough food deep inside. Leaves are green in summer because they are making food. Leaves also have orange, yellow, or brown colors inside them. During summer, those colors are covered by the green color.
Many places get colder in fall with shorter days and longer nights. Trees get less sunlight, so photosynthesis slows down. Over time, leaves stop making the green chemical. The hidden orange, yellow, and brown colors grow when that happens.
Once it gets cold enough and ice appears at night, the trees drop their leaves. They do this to keep themselves safe. If the leaves turn to ice while still on the trees, the trees can be hurt. Trees that drop their leaves are bare (光秃秃) in winter. They use the food they save in summer to get through the cold days and nights.
Spring comes before long. Ice and snow disappear and the rains come. The Sun shines, and tiny leaves grow from branches. Once again, the leaves use sunlight, water, and air to make food. The cycle begins again.

A.It is a way of growing leaves. B.It is a way of changing colors.

When the wind blows, tree leaves move with it. What if we could “catch” the energy made by these leaves? A French scientist thought about this and made the Wind Tree.
The Wind Tree is not a real tree. It just looks like one, with a white body and around 36 green “leaves”. The “leaves” are blades (扇叶) which can turn in the wind. When they turn, they create electricity, and then the machine collects it. The Wind Tree is like a wind turbine (风力涡轮机), but it’s much smaller. It’s about 5 to 10 meters tall and easy to build.
Usually, the Wind Tree can make 18,000 kWh (千瓦时) of energy in a year. That’s enough to power a home of four people. If the wind is stronger, it can make a lot more electricity—about twice at most.
Wind turbines may hurt birds because they may hit the blades by accident. But the Wind Tree doesn’t have this problem. The loud wind turbines usually sit on hills far away from people. But the Wind Tree is quiet. People can have them in gardens or city parks.
1.Why did the French scientist make Wind Tree?
A.To move tree leaves quickly. B.To make more electricity.
C.To help wind blow strongly. D.To make gardens beautiful.
2.What do we know about the Wind Tree in Paragraph 2?
A.It has about 36 blades. B.It has a green body.
C.It is a kind of real tree. D.It is difficult to build.
3.How much energy can a Wind Tree make at most in a year if the wind is stronger?
A.About 9,000 kWh. B.About 18,000 kWh.
C.About 27,000 kWh. D.About 36,000 kWh.
4.What does them in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Wind Trees. B.Wind turbines. C.Green leaves. D.Tree blades.
5.Which may be the best title of the article?
A.Powered by a Tree B.Energy around Us

Do you get in trouble for giving your food to your dog under the table? A new study shows that by giving “people food”, you might actually be helping to keep your pet healthy.
Many people only give their dogs dry dog food to eat. Scientists from the University of Helsinki, in Finland, say this diet (饮食) is actually not good for our pet dogs.
According to the scientists, a dog might find foods like eggs, meat, and vegetables in its owner’s home. These foods may be better than a diet of just dog food. This is because having different kinds of food can produce more types of microbes (微生物). They are little living things in human and animal bodies. Some are bad for us, but many are good for us. They play important roles in helping us break down food in our bodies.
A total of 8,500 young pet dogs took part in the study. 4,500 of them were under 6 months old, and the rest were between 6 and 18 months old. The owners were asked about what foods they had fed their pets and how often. When the dogs became grown-up, their owners reported that about 20% of the dogs showed CE symptoms (慢性肠胃不适症状) such as weight loss. However, if dogs had a mixed diet while young, it was 22% less possible for CE symptoms later in life.
Dr. Anna Hielm-Bjorkman told The Times of London, “Nobody would give 12 years of the same food to a child—why should a dog be different?”
1.What should dog owners do according to the new study?
A.Buy more dry dog food. B.Make food by themselves.
C.Eat different kinds of food. D.Share “people food” with dogs.
2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.Where microbes live. B.How microbes break down food.
C.Why dogs need different kinds of food. D.What dogs can find in their owners’ home.
3.How does the writer show the study in Paragraph 4 to make it believable?
A.By telling stories. B.By giving numbers.
C.By asking questions. D.By sharing examples.
4.What does the underlined sentence “why should a dog be different” mean?
A.Dogs shouldn’t only eat dog food.
B.We should see dogs as our children.
C.Dogs should be different from children.
D.We shouldn’t give the same food to children.
5.In which part of a newspaper can you probably read the passage?

If you can’t see, can you still enjoy movies? The answer is yes. The Guangming Cinema project makes this possible. It provides movies with audio descriptions (语音描述) for the blind. Instead of watching, they can enjoy the stories only by listening to them.
What is this kind of movie like? It adds narrations (旁白) that help people know what is happening on the screen. Listeners can pick up on the background information that they can’t see.
Most of the team members on the project are students and teachers from the Communication University of China. They write and record the narrations for the movies. Cai Yu is one of them. “It takes one to two months to write the narrations for a movie,” said Cai. “We have to watch each scene many times to make sure that we would not give listeners too much or too little information.”
The project was started in 2017. Since then, it has provided more than 600 movies with audio descriptions. Some trendy movies in recent years, such as Hi, Mom and Mulan, are on the list.
Cao Jun is among the project’s audience. “I love to ‘watch’ these movies. It’s a good way for us to gather and make friends. The works of the Guangming Cinema project have enriched our lives!”

Have you ever seen a super bright light that makes the whole night sky look like a big light bulb? And then a loud noise makes you jump? That’s lightning.
Lightning is special because it’s super hot. The temperature of lightning is much higher than that of the sun’s surface. And lightning can travel at a speed of 140,000 miles per hour.
Although lightning seems cool, it can be really dangerous. There are more than three million lightning strikes (袭击) every day in the world. They can knock down trees, cause power outages, and even damage houses. Sometimes, they can start fires or hurt people and animals.
However, the power of lightning has inspired (启发) many scientists to learn more about electricity and how it works. One famous scientist, Benjamin Franklin, discovered that lightning is a form of electricity, and invented the lightning rod (避雷针). A lighting rod is placed on top of tall buildings to reach up into the sky. When lightning wants to strike, it chooses the easiest path, which is the lightning rod. The rod then safely guides the lightning’s energy down into the ground, stopping damage to the building. Nikola Tesla invented the Tesla Coil in 1891. It helps us understand how electricity works. Now some scientists are even studying how to use lightning’s energy to power our houses one day!
So next time you see a lightning, remember that it’s not just a show in the sky, but a powerful force of nature that scientists are still learning from today!
1.How does the writer introduce the topic?
A.By telling a story. B.By asking questions.
C.By giving numbers. D.By using an old saying.
2.What makes lightning so special?
A.The heat and the speed. B.The size and the speed.
C.The color and the heat. D.The shape and the size.
3.Why is lightning dangerous according to paragraph 3?
A.It could destroy power. B.It makes people feel cold.
C.It could be harmful to lives. D.It damages millions of houses.
4.What does a lightning rod do?
A.It sends energy up into the sky.
B.It produces power to protect buildings.
C.It directs lightning to the ground safely.
D.It attracts lightning to knock down trees
5.What is the writer’s intention (意图) for the last paragraph?
A.To identify the power of nature.

Plants use chemicals to talk with each other. This happens when insects are eating a plant’s leaves. Then, the plant gives out chemicals from those leaves. This is like a warning, or a call for help, “Mayday, mayday!” When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others make the bees interested in the plant. The bees will come and kill those harmful insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system (系统). So we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly, plants also make sounds. But people can’t hear these sounds. Some plants, such as corn and chili plants, make noises with their roots. Some trees make clicking noises when there is little water. Plants, like tomatoes, make a sound when they are weak. When animals like bats hear them, they will come to help. Scientists are trying to listen to these sick plants. Then they can find new ways to grow healthier plants without touching them.
Most surprisingly of all, plants have a wonderful talking system. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”, just like the Internet we use. The plants, such as fungi, connect the roots of different plants and make the web under the ground. By using the web, plants can greet each other and give food to others. However, not all plants are friendly. Some may use it to take other plants’ food, or send chemicals to hurt other plants. Probably one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help stop these fights.
Scientists are learning more about how plants talk so that they can grow better. Maybe one day we will be able to “talk” with them ourselves.
1.Which sentence can replace(代替) “Mayday, mayday!” in paragraph 1?
A.Be careful! The insects are eating my leaves!
B.Let’s celebrate the holiday May Day!
C.Come to me, bee! Kill the insects!
D.Let me give you some food and drinks!
2.Which of the following about plants’ sounds is TRUE?
A.Some plants can talk to people.
B.Plants like tomatoes make noises for greeting.
C.Some animals can understand plants’ sounds.
D.Scientists can grow healthy plants by talking to them.
3.What do plants use the “wood wide web” to do?
A.Produce food with other plants.
B.Give out chemicals to keep off insects.
C.Send food to or take food from other plants.
D.Connect the roots of different plants.
4.Why do scientists want to learn about plants’ talks?
A.To create a “firewall” to stop insects.
B.To help plants grow better.

Do you know why the Earth is called the “Blue Planet”? Because up to 70% of its surface is covered by water! However, there are still millions of people who have to walk for over half an hour to get clean water. Why is it so difficult for them to get clean water? Will we run out of water one day?
Most of the water on Earth is too salty for us to use. In fact, only 2.5% of the water on our planet is fresh water. However, we are not able to use all of it. For example, we can’t get the fresh water in rocks deep underground. In the end, the fresh water that we can use is only about 0.007% of the water on Earth!
Luckily, our planet is very good at holding on water. When water turns into water vapour, it doesn’t run off into space. Since the atmosphere (大气层) is very cold, the water vapour freezes and falls back to the ground.
The amount of fresh water on Earth stays about the same. However, the number of people on this planet is growing quickly. So, more and more people won’t get clean water. If we don’t change the way we use water, this problem will become even worse in the future.
1.Water covers about ________ of the Earth according to the passage.
A.one half B.one third C.two thirds D.two fifths
2.Why is it difficult for people to get clean water?
A.Because we are able to use salty water.
B.Because clean water turns into water vapour.
C.Because fresh water on the ground is hard to get.
D.Because there is not much fresh water in the world.
3.The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A.the way we use water B.the growing number of people
C.more people can’t get clean water D.fresh water remaining as much as always
4.What is the purpose of this passage?
A.To explain what water cycle is. B.To call on people to save water.
C.To share interesting facts about water. D.To introduce new ways to get fresh water.

①Travelling is all about meeting something new and connecting with the world around us. Virtual Reality (VR虚拟现实技术) is changing the way we travel by mixing the real and the virtual world together.
②VR travelling is a fun and exciting new way of travelling. You need to put on special glasses to see and visit places around the world, just like you are really there. Even in your own room, you can visit the Great Wall or swim with sea turtles anytime.
③VR travelling has many benefits (好处). It can help protect popular places with too many visitors. Places like Maya Bay and Angkor Wat are using VR to provide virtual trips without harming such wonderful places. VR can also take us back to the ancient time or the outer space. It gives us experiences (体验) that would be impossible to get from books. It lets people enjoy and experience new places better, more safely and conveniently.
④“VR travelling makes the impossible possible!” Emily Harper, a disabled girl said excitedly. “It lets me visit places that might be hard to reach in real life.”
⑤However, some people say that VR can never take the place of real travel experiences. You cannot feel the weather, take beautiful photos with friends, enjoy the food or talk with people. These are what travelling means to us. Also, it can bring other problems. If people spend too much time on it, they might not want to go out with family and friends. What's more, some of them might not be able to distinguish between the real world and the virtual world. They might think that they are the same.
⑥Every coin has two sides. While VR travelling might sound like something from a science fiction film, it's already happening. In the near future, more and more people will get experiences and benefits from VR travelling.
1.Why does the writer talk about Maya Bay and Angkor Wat?
A. To encourage us to go there.
B. To show how to visit these places.
C. To give an example of the benefit of VR travelling.
D. To introduce these wonderful places of interest to us.
2.What does the underlined word “distinguish” mean?
A. To know the truth. B. To see the fact.
C. To get the answer. D. To tell the difference.
3.What can we know from the passage?
A. Too many people visit Angkor Wat.
B. Travelling makes the impossible possible.
C. Emily Harper often travels with her friends.
D. VR travelling is much better than traditional travelling.
4.What does the writer think of the VR travelling?
A. It’s bad for people. B. It has a bright future.
C. It’s the best way of travelling. D. We shouldn’t use it any more.
5.What is the structure (结构) of the passage?

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

We are lucky to live in a rich country where we have many things. However, most of us usually waste some things.
Electricity is one thing that we waste most. Lights, TVs, radios and other things are often kept on even when no one is using them. We should turn them off when we do not need them. It takes less than a second to do it. Not wasting electricity also saves money, because we do not have to pay for the electricity we do not use.
The second thing that we often waste is water. Fresh water is precious(宝贵的), so it shouldn’t be wasted. It is only a simple matter of turning off a tap. I am sure everybody can do this easily if he wants to.
Another waste is food. My parents used to cook so much food that some of it was thrown away. I told them we had wasted some food. They thought I was right and now cook only what we can eat.
It is not right to be wasteful. I find there is a simple way of not wasting things. That is to use only what we need. In this way we can stop being wasteful.

A Fun Plant Experiment to Try at Home!
Without water, plants would die. How does water get from the roots of a plant to the other parts of the plant? The water travels through “small pipes” to all parts of the plant. And here is a scientific experiment to show it.
What we need:

4. Take the celery stick out of water and cut it into pieces across the stern.
What happens:
You can see red food colour in all cross parts from the bottom of the celery stick right up to the leaves.
Why it happens:
The water, with the red food colour, has run in the celery stick through the small pipes in it. The experiment, therefore, shows that the small pipes in the plant allow water to reach all parts of it. The red food colour shows where the water has travelled in the celery stick.
1.Which shows the correct order of the experiment?

Stupid but serious
You see a cat sunbathing on the playground. “Hello, kitty!” You smile and walk away. About 100 years ago, a scientist saw the same scene (场景). But he stopped and thought. Later, he won the Nobel Prize (诺贝尔奖).
The scientist was Niels Finsen from Denmark (丹麦). He saw a sick cat sleeping in the sun. When the sun moved, the cat moved, too. Why did the cat love the sun so much? To find out the answer, Niels kept watching the cat for days. Amazingly, the cat got better after lots of sunbathing. The sunlight could cure diseases! Then, Niels invented a light to cure human diseases and won the Nobel Prize in 1903.
In fact, many great scientific findings start from “stupid” questions and small things in life.
Scientists may ask: How many lies does a person tell in a day? How many licks (舔) does it take to eat up a lollipop? Why do roses smell good? What can we learn from animal poop (粪便)? And they take it seriously. They watch, think, and do experiments (实验) until they find an answer.
“It’s such a waste of time!” You may say.
But think of the great scientist Newton (牛顿). If he just said “Ouch!” and walked away after he was hit by the apple, what might our world be like?

Eighteen-year-old Duncan Jurman has won the Gloria Barron Prize for his green project. It has brought back butterfly population and called on more youth to protect butterflies.
From an early age, Jurman loved seeing different kinds of caterpillars (毛虫) and learned about how they grew into butterflies. “I am interested in them because they’re very easy to access,” he said. “If you want to attract a butterfly, for example, you just need to plant a lot of flowers.”
At the age of 9, Jurman started a butterfly garden at his home. There he has brought up and returned over 5,000 butterflies to nature. “Butterflies are really important for the environment,” he said. “Butterflies, like bees, help in the reproduction (繁殖) of flowers. They are also the food for larger animals like birds. If butterflies and caterpillars disappear, then so will some other animals.”
The number of butterflies has dropped in recent years. So Jurman built a butterfly garden at his school, attracting more students to join him. He enjoys watching students get excited when a butterfly lands on them. With Jurman’s help, some students have started their own gardens at their homes. Thanks to his hard work, more young students developed the same interest.

It was the evening before the fish season opened. Eleven-year-old Tom was fishing with his father. He tied on a small lure (鱼饵) and threw the hook into the water. The lure caused colored ripples in the sunset.
Suddenly, his pole doubled over. Tom knew something big was on the other end. After a few rounds, he finally lifted the tired fish from the water. The boy and his father looked at the fish. It was the largest one they had ever seen. Then, Tom’s father looked at his watch. It was 7 p.m.—five hours before the fish season opened.
“You must put it back, son,” the father said.

Joao, 71, lives on an island near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He doesn’t need to work, but still works as a part-time fisherman. One day, about five years ago, when he was walking on the beach, he saw a little penguin with oil on its body. “If no one helps the bird wash away the oil, it may die.”Joao thought. So he took the bird home and bathed it. Joao gave the bird fish to eat, and called him “Din dim”. The penguin soon became strong and healthy. He was able to return to the water.
After a week or two, Joao went down to the coast and tried to free Din dim. But the penguin didn’t want to go. He stayed with Joao for another eight months, getting bigger and stronger. And Joao enjoyed being with his new friend. Then suddenly, one day in February, Din dim disappeared. When Joao found this, he cried and couldn’t eat or sleep all day and all night. But, deep in his heart, he hoped that the bird returned to his penguin family successfully. Four months later, when Joao was walking home from the beach, suddenly he heard a “honking” sound—Din dim was back. Joao rushed to him, and Din dim’s bill touched Joao’s face, helping clean his tears.
Later, Din dim returns and stays on the island every year. Where does he go? In fact, he swims about 2, 500 miles to the coast of Argentina or Chile to start a penguin family and then swims back to Joao. That’s about 5, 000 miles a year to be with the man who saved his life. Probably, the penguin thinks that Joao is part of his family.
1.Why did Joao bring Din dim home at first?
A.Because he hoped to save the poor animal.
B.Because his job was to take care of animals.
C.Because he wanted to make friends with Din dim.

A.e-a-b-d-c B.e-a-c-b-d C.b-a-d-e-c D.b-a-d-c-e

Why are the leaves on trees different colors? What makes them change color? Leaves use sunlight, water, and air to make food for the trees. This way of making food is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is important to animals as well as plants. Some animals eat plants. Other animals eat these animals.
Summer is playtime. For the leaves of many trees, however, it’s work, work, work! The Sun is shining. The leaves are making food for the trees. The trees keep more than enough food deep inside. Leaves are green in summer because they are making food. Leaves also have orange, yellow, or brown colors inside them. During summer, those colors are covered by the green color.
Many places get colder in fall with shorter days and longer nights. Trees get less sunlight, so photosynthesis slows down. Over time, leaves stop making the green chemical. The hidden orange, yellow, and brown colors grow when that happens.
Once it gets cold enough and ice appears at night, the trees drop their leaves. They do this to keep themselves safe. If the leaves turn to ice while still on the trees, the trees can be hurt. Trees that drop their leaves are bare (光秃秃) in winter. They use the food they save in summer to get through the cold days and nights.
Spring comes before long. Ice and snow disappear and the rains come. The Sun shines, and tiny leaves grow from branches. Once again, the leaves use sunlight, water, and air to make food. The cycle begins again.
1.What is photosynthesis according to the passage?
A.It is a way of growing leaves. B.It is a way of changing colors.
C.It is a way for animals to eat plants. D.It is a way to make food for plants.

B.Because they are busy making food for trees.

D.Because summer is playtime for the leaves of many trees.
3.What stops leaves from making the green chemical in fall?
A.Less air in fall. B.Less time in fall. C.Less water in fall. D.Less sunlight in fall.
4.What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The colors. B.The leaves. C.The trees. D.The animals.

When the wind blows, tree leaves move with it. What if we could “catch” the energy made by these leaves? A French scientist thought about this and made the Wind Tree.
The Wind Tree is not a real tree. It just looks like one, with a white body and around 36 green “leaves”. The “leaves” are blades (扇叶) which can turn in the wind. When they turn, they create electricity, and then the machine collects it. The Wind Tree is like a wind turbine (风力涡轮机), but it’s much smaller. It’s about 5 to 10 meters tall and easy to build.
Usually, the Wind Tree can make 18,000 kWh (千瓦时) of energy in a year. That’s enough to power a home of four people. If the wind is stronger, it can make a lot more electricity—about twice at most.
Wind turbines may hurt birds because they may hit the blades by accident. But the Wind Tree doesn’t have this problem. The loud wind turbines usually sit on hills far away from people. But the Wind Tree is quiet. People can have them in gardens or city parks.
1.Why did the French scientist make Wind Tree?
A.To move tree leaves quickly. B.To make more electricity.
C.To help wind blow strongly. D.To make gardens beautiful.
2.What do we know about the Wind Tree in Paragraph 2?
A.It has about 36 blades. B.It has a green body.
C.It is a kind of real tree. D.It is difficult to build.
3.How much energy can a Wind Tree make at most in a year if the wind is stronger?
A.About 9,000 kWh. B.About 18,000 kWh.
C.About 27,000 kWh. D.About 36,000 kWh.
4.What does them in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Wind Trees. B.Wind turbines. C.Green leaves. D.Tree blades.
5.Which may be the best title of the article?
A.Powered by a Tree B.Energy around Us
C.Save the Wind Tree D.Facts about Real Trees
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.B 4.A 5.A

Do you get in trouble for giving your food to your dog under the table? A new study shows that by giving “people food”, you might actually be helping to keep your pet healthy.
Many people only give their dogs dry dog food to eat. Scientists from the University of Helsinki, in Finland, say this diet (饮食) is actually not good for our pet dogs.
According to the scientists, a dog might find foods like eggs, meat, and vegetables in its owner’s home. These foods may be better than a diet of just dog food. This is because having different kinds of food can produce more types of microbes (微生物). They are little living things in human and animal bodies. Some are bad for us, but many are good for us. They play important roles in helping us break down food in our bodies.
A total of 8,500 young pet dogs took part in the study. 4,500 of them were under 6 months old, and the rest were between 6 and 18 months old. The owners were asked about what foods they had fed their pets and how often. When the dogs became grown-up, their owners reported that about 20% of the dogs showed CE symptoms (慢性肠胃不适症状) such as weight loss. However, if dogs had a mixed diet while young, it was 22% less possible for CE symptoms later in life.
Dr. Anna Hielm-Bjorkman told The Times of London, “Nobody would give 12 years of the same food to a child—why should a dog be different?”
1.What should dog owners do according to the new study?
A.Buy more dry dog food. B.Make food by themselves.
C.Eat different kinds of food. D.Share “people food” with dogs.
2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.Where microbes live. B.How microbes break down food.
C.Why dogs need different kinds of food. D.What dogs can find in their owners’ home.
3.How does the writer show the study in Paragraph 4 to make it believable?
A.By telling stories. B.By giving numbers.
C.By asking questions. D.By sharing examples.
4.What does the underlined sentence “why should a dog be different” mean?
A.Dogs shouldn’t only eat dog food.
B.We should see dogs as our children.
C.Dogs should be different from children.
D.We shouldn’t give the same food to children.
5.In which part of a newspaper can you probably read the passage?
A.Sports. B.History. C.Science. D.Culture.

Have you ever seen a super bright light that makes the whole night sky look like a big light bulb? And then a loud noise makes you jump? That’s lightning.
Lightning is special because it’s super hot. The temperature of lightning is much higher than that of the sun’s surface. And lightning can travel at a speed of 140,000 miles per hour.
Although lightning seems cool, it can be really dangerous. There are more than three million lightning strikes (袭击) every day in the world. They can knock down trees, cause power outages, and even damage houses. Sometimes, they can start fires or hurt people and animals.
However, the power of lightning has inspired (启发) many scientists to learn more about electricity and how it works. One famous scientist, Benjamin Franklin, discovered that lightning is a form of electricity, and invented the lightning rod (避雷针). A lighting rod is placed on top of tall buildings to reach up into the sky. When lightning wants to strike, it chooses the easiest path, which is the lightning rod. The rod then safely guides the lightning’s energy down into the ground, stopping damage to the building. Nikola Tesla invented the Tesla Coil in 1891. It helps us understand how electricity works. Now some scientists are even studying how to use lightning’s energy to power our houses one day!
So next time you see a lightning, remember that it’s not just a show in the sky, but a powerful force of nature that scientists are still learning from today!
1.How does the writer introduce the topic?
A.By telling a story. B.By asking questions.
C.By giving numbers. D.By using an old saying.
2.What makes lightning so special?
A.The heat and the speed. B.The size and the speed.
C.The color and the heat. D.The shape and the size.
3.Why is lightning dangerous according to paragraph 3?
A.It could destroy power. B.It makes people feel cold.
C.It could be harmful to lives. D.It damages millions of houses.
4.What does a lightning rod do?
A.It sends energy up into the sky.
B.It produces power to protect buildings.
C.It directs lightning to the ground safely.
D.It attracts lightning to knock down trees
5.What is the writer’s intention (意图) for the last paragraph?
A.To identify the power of nature.
B.To encourage more study on nature.
C.To discuss how to make use of lighting.
D.To advise people to remember lightning.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.C 4.C 5.B

11.广东省广州市天河区2023-2024学年七年级下学期期末考试英语试题
Plants use chemicals to talk with each other. This happens when insects are eating a plant’s leaves. Then, the plant gives out chemicals from those leaves. This is like a warning, or a call for help, “Mayday, mayday!” When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others make the bees interested in the plant. The bees will come and kill those harmful insects. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system (系统). So we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly, plants also make sounds. But people can’t hear these sounds. Some plants, such as corn and chili plants, make noises with their roots. Some trees make clicking noises when there is little water. Plants, like tomatoes, make a sound when they are weak. When animals like bats hear them, they will come to help. Scientists are trying to listen to these sick plants. Then they can find new ways to grow healthier plants without touching them.
Most surprisingly of all, plants have a wonderful talking system. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”, just like the Internet we use. The plants, such as fungi, connect the roots of different plants and make the web under the ground. By using the web, plants can greet each other and give food to others. However, not all plants are friendly. Some may use it to take other plants’ food, or send chemicals to hurt other plants. Probably one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help stop these fights.
Scientists are learning more about how plants talk so that they can grow better. Maybe one day we will be able to “talk” with them ourselves.
1.Which sentence can replace(代替) “Mayday, mayday!” in paragraph 1?
A.Be careful! The insects are eating my leaves!
B.Let’s celebrate the holiday May Day!
C.Come to me, bee! Kill the insects!
D.Let me give you some food and drinks!
2.Which of the following about plants’ sounds is TRUE?
A.Some plants can talk to people.
B.Plants like tomatoes make noises for greeting.
C.Some animals can understand plants’ sounds.
D.Scientists can grow healthy plants by talking to them.
3.What do plants use the “wood wide web” to do?
A.Produce food with other plants.
B.Give out chemicals to keep off insects.
C.Send food to or take food from other plants.
D.Connect the roots of different plants.
4.Why do scientists want to learn about plants’ talks?
A.To create a “firewall” to stop insects.
B.To help plants grow better.
C.To build a bigger web for plants.
D.To improve plants’ talking system.

12.广东省广州市花都区2023-2024学年七年级下学期期末英语试题
Do you know why the Earth is called the “Blue Planet”? Because up to 70% of its surface is covered by water! However, there are still millions of people who have to walk for over half an hour to get clean water. Why is it so difficult for them to get clean water? Will we run out of water one day?
Most of the water on Earth is too salty for us to use. In fact, only 2.5% of the water on our planet is fresh water. However, we are not able to use all of it. For example, we can’t get the fresh water in rocks deep underground. In the end, the fresh water that we can use is only about 0.007% of the water on Earth!
Luckily, our planet is very good at holding on water. When water turns into water vapour, it doesn’t run off into space. Since the atmosphere (大气层) is very cold, the water vapour freezes and falls back to the ground.
The amount of fresh water on Earth stays about the same. However, the number of people on this planet is growing quickly. So, more and more people won’t get clean water. If we don’t change the way we use water, this problem will become even worse in the future.
1.Water covers about ________ of the Earth according to the passage.
A.one half B.one third C.two thirds D.two fifths
2.Why is it difficult for people to get clean water?
A.Because we are able to use salty water.
B.Because clean water turns into water vapour.
C.Because fresh water on the ground is hard to get.
D.Because there is not much fresh water in the world.
3.The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A.the way we use water B.the growing number of people
C.more people can’t get clean water D.fresh water remaining as much as always
4.What is the purpose of this passage?
A.To explain what water cycle is.
B.To call on people to save water.
C.To share interesting facts about water.
D.To introduce new ways to get fresh water.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.C 4.B

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
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.C 4.C

We are lucky to live in a rich country where we have many things. However, most of us usually waste some things.
Electricity is one thing that we waste most. Lights, TVs, radios and other things are often kept on even when no one is using them. We should turn them off when we do not need them. It takes less than a second to do it. Not wasting electricity also saves money, because we do not have to pay for the electricity we do not use.
