Passage 5 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.

No flying fish broke the surface of the sea and there was no scattering (散落) of bait (诱饵) fish in the water. But as the old man watched, a small tuna (金枪鱼) rose in the air, turned and dropped head first into the water. The tuna shone silver in the sun and after he had dropped back into the water, more tuna started jumping out of the water in all directions, chasing after the bait. They were circling it and driving it. “If they don’t travel too fast, I will get into them.” the old man thought, and he watched the tuna making the water white and the bird diving down to catch the bait fish that were forced to the surface in their fear. “The bird is a great help,” the old man said. Just then, the fishing line at the back of the boat grew tight under his foot. He dropped his oars (船桨) and felt the weight of the tuna, and began to pull it in. When he pulled, he could see the blue back of the fish in the water and its golden sides. Finally, he lifted the fish into the boat. The tuna lay in the boat in the sun. He was small and shaped like a bullet. His big eyes stared when he hit against the floor of the boat with his tail. The old man hit him on the head to calm him down and then pushed him to the back of the boat. “He’ll make a beautiful bait. He’ll weigh ten pounds,” the old man said aloud. —Adapted from The Old Man and the Sea 21. Why did the old man say “The bird has found fish” aloud? A. He saw flying fish jumping out of the water. B.

Passage 6 I was playing at the front gate, trying to decide whether to walk down the street to play with Jenny, when I saw a poor man coming up the road. “Hello, little girl,” he said, “is your mama at home?” I nodded and opened the gate to let him get in the yard. He looked like all the homeless men who came to my home before. His messy hair hung below a shapeless hat, and his old shirt and trousers had been rained on and slept in. He smelled bad. He walked to the door. When my mother appeared, he asked, “Lady, could you spare something to eat?” “I think so. Please sit on the step.” Later, my mother came back and handed him a sandwich made from homemade bread and generous pieces of boiled meat. She also gave him a bottle of milk. “I thank you, lady,” he said. I played at the gate, watching the man wolf down the sandwich and empty the cup. After finishing the food, he stood up and walked back through the gate. “▲” he told me on the way out. Jenny had said all the homeless men told each other who would feed them. “They never come to my house!” she had said proudly and happily. “So why does Mama feed the poor man?” I wondered. I walked inside. “Jenny’s mama says those men are too lazy to work. Why do we feed them?” My mother smiled. “Sweetheart, we don’t know why these men don’t work,” she said, “but they were babies once. And their mamas loved them, just like I love you.” She put her hands on my shoulders and drew me close to her. “For me, I fed them for their mothers, because if you were ever hungry and had nothing to eat, I would want others’ mothers to feed you.” I seemed to find out the answer to my question and understand that. 1.

It is one of my favourite childhood memories. My sister and I had many books. As I grew older, I enjoyed staying in my father’s “library” and would read for hours each day. To make me play with friends like other kids, my parents would have to take books away from me.   I see reading as an important part of my life, not a hobby to pass my time. For me, reading opens up a whole new world. It encourages new ideas, increases my knowledge, and makes me an everyday learner. Although I enjoy communicating with people, I’m an introverted person and really need my alone time. Last year, I had several experiences that began to make me feel worried about my being shy, and I felt that it would make me lose many chances. Around this time, I read Susan Cain’s book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking. This book helped me understand myself. And I’m not afraid to be myself. Charlie Jones says, “You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.” I’ve met great people and travelled around the world — all from my chair or bed with a book in my hands. 1. One of the writer’s favourite childhood memories was ________. A. watching TV with her sister B. travelling around the world C. communicating with people D. listening to her parents read bedtime stories 2. Why would the writer’s parents stop her from reading? A.

An activity that makes her popular. D. A bridge between the world and herself. 4. From the fourth paragraph, we can learn that an introverted person is ________. A. outgoing B. lazy C. careless D. shy 5. The writer met great people and travelled around the world by ________. A. writing letters to the great people B. making friends with others C. reading books in her chair or on her bed D. going sightseeing in every holiday Passage 8 Gui Haichao is a university professor. His dream of flying to space has now come true. Together with Jing Haipeng and Zhu Yangzhu, Gui took off on the Shenzhou-16 spacecraft from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in northwest China on May 30th. In this journey to the China Space Station, Gui has become the first Chinese civilian astronaut and payload specialist (民间航天员和有效载荷专家) to go into space. In the space station, he will keep the payload for space science experiments working well. Gui grew up in an ordinary family in southwest China’s Yunnan Province. His interest in space began at the age of 17 when he got the news of Yang Liwei’s historic spaceflight for China in 2003. “I wasted no time,” said Gui, “when I found that China was recruiting (招募) its first group of payload specialists in 2018.” Over the past few years, Gui trained hard. However, the training was really difficult for him. “I even couldn’t stand after the centrifuge rotation (离心旋转) training,” said the professor. “So I added more exercises and practiced every day. I asked help from others, and used some of the training ways for pilots. Finally, I made it and it was amazing.” 21. What can’t we learn from the first paragraph? A. Gui Haichao’s job. B.

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. “Dad!” Tom cried. “There will be other fish,” the father said. “Not as big as this one,” the boy said sadly.

He could know everything from his father’s serious face. Nothing can change the decision. Unwillingly, he put the fish into the water. The fish soon disappeared. Tom wondered if he would ever again see such a big fish. That was 34 years ago. Today, Tom is a successful businessman in New York City.

Passage 10 I have a few hobbies, but there is one I like the most, baking (烘焙). A few times I have sold my baking and made some money. But that is not why I bake. I bake because I love the feel of making people happy with my baking. Sometimes I share my baking with my study group. Everyone loves it, especially Lexi. Lexi loves my cookies. However, she is never interested in baking them. Baking to her sounds like too much work. I’ve tried different ways to get Lexi to like baking. I let her try a cookie after I made them, showing her what she can get after finishing baking. She wasn’t so sure. I tried letting Lexi bake herself to show her how fun it is. Again, she still wasn’t sure. I tried to let Lexi sell our baking. She did get some money, but she again wasn’t sure that she liked baking. I was slowly giving up. So I advised to do something relaxing. I asked Lexi to paint with me. Lexi started painting quietly. I found that her paintings looked so great. And I also saw the brightness in her eyes while she was painting. The brightness that I imagine is always in my eyes when I bake. “Lexi,” I said gently, “You found your hobby.” “I what? ” She asked. “Your hobby.” “Oh. I guess I did, right? Painting. Never thought much of it before.” Lexi answered. “You should sell those pictures. They all look great. How about joining me at the School Fair? ” “That sounds great!” For the rest of the week we talked a lot about our plan. I would sell cookies and she would make posters and sell her own paintings at my cookie stand. On the day of the School Fair, we were so excited but also very nervous. At the end when we counted our money, we saw we had made 150 yuan. “150 yuan!” I said excitedly. “Yes! I can get the picture book that I’ve wanted for so long!” Lexi replied, also excitedly.

Karina is my best friend. When we first met in a camp, we quickly became friends. And we would be friends forever. So it was hard to imagine that I would argue with her on some things. Whatever we did, we were always together. But then something happened in another summer camp. “Did you hear about the shopping mall news?” asked one of our friends Levar. “They want to cut down some trees to make a shopping centre.” “That’s terrible!” I said, “We have to stop that.” “I differ with you on that point,” said Karina, “The shopping centre would give new jobs to people. Some people really need work.” “But think of all the poor birds. They would lose their homes!” I said. “I want people to have jobs, but it doesn’t mean cutting down trees.” “People’s jobs are more important, aren’t they?” Karina asked. At that moment, I was even thinking, “Maybe two people with different points of view just aren’t meant to be friends.” Just then, Levar jumped up and broke the silence, “Let’s see who can do the high kick (高踢腿)!” Levar took the challenge, Karina followed, and I finally joined them. Although I wished Karina had agreed with me about saving the trees, I realized she had her reasons to support what she did. No two people are exactly the same, even best friends.

No flying fish broke the surface of the sea and there was no scattering (散落) of bait (诱饵) fish in the water. But as the old man watched, a small tuna (金枪鱼) rose in the air, turned and dropped head first into the water. The tuna shone silver in the sun and after he had dropped back into the water, more tuna started jumping out of the water in all directions, chasing after the bait. They were circling it and driving it. “If they don’t travel too fast, I will get into them.” the old man thought, and he watched the tuna making the water white and the bird diving down to catch the bait fish that were forced to the surface in their fear. “The bird is a great help,” the old man said. Just then, the fishing line at the back of the boat grew tight under his foot. He dropped his oars (船桨) and felt the weight of the tuna, and began to pull it in. When he pulled, he could see the blue back of the fish in the water and its golden sides. Finally, he lifted the fish into the boat. The tuna lay in the boat in the sun.

He looked like all the homeless men who came to my home before. His messy hair hung below a shapeless hat, and his old shirt and trousers had been rained on and slept in. He smelled bad.

Please sit on the step.” Later, my mother came back and handed him a sandwich made from homemade bread and generous pieces of boiled meat. She also gave him a bottle of milk. “I thank you, lady,” he said. I played at the gate, watching the man wolf down the sandwich and empty the cup. After finishing the food, he stood up and walked back through the gate. “▲” he told me on the way out. Jenny had said all the homeless men told each other who would feed them. “They never come to my house!” she had said proudly and happily. “So why does Mama feed the poor man?” I wondered. I walked inside. “Jenny’s mama says those men are too lazy to work. Why do we feed them?” My mother smiled. “Sweetheart, we don’t know why these men don’t work,” she said, “but they were babies once. And their mamas loved them, just like I love you.” She put her hands on my shoulders and drew me close to her. “For me, I fed them for their mothers, because if you were ever hungry and had nothing to eat, I would want others’ mothers to feed you.” I seemed to find out the answer to my question and understand that. 1.

My sister and I had many books. As I grew older, I enjoyed staying in my father’s “library” and would read for hours each day. To make me play with friends like other kids, my parents would have to take books away from me.   I see reading as an important part of my life, not a hobby to pass my time. For me, reading opens up a whole new world. It encourages new ideas, increases my knowledge, and makes me an everyday learner. Although I enjoy communicating with people, I’m an introverted person and really need my alone time. Last year, I had several experiences that began to make me feel worried about my being shy, and I felt that it would make me lose many chances. Around this time, I read Susan Cain’s book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking. This book helped me understand myself. And I’m not afraid to be myself. Charlie Jones says, “You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.” I’ve met great people and travelled around the world — all from my chair or bed with a book in my hands. 1.

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. “Dad!” Tom cried. “There will be other fish,” the father said. “Not as big as this one,” the boy said sadly. Tom looked around the lake. There were no other fishermen or boats around. No one had seen them. And nobody would know what time they caught the big fish. Tom looked again at his father. He could know everything from his father’s serious face. Nothing can change the decision. Unwillingly, he put the fish into the water. The fish soon disappeared. Tom wondered if he would ever again see such a big fish. That was 34 years ago. Today, Tom is a successful businessman in New York City. He has never again caught such a big fish as the one he put back that night. However, he does see that same fish every time he faces a moral (道德的) question. 29.

A few times I have sold my baking and made some money. But that is not why I bake. I bake because I love the feel of making people happy with my baking. Sometimes I share my baking with my study group. Everyone loves it, especially Lexi. Lexi loves my cookies. However, she is never interested in baking them. Baking to her sounds like too much work.

Karina is my best friend. When we first met in a camp, we quickly became friends. And we would be friends forever. So it was hard to imagine that I would argue with her on some things. Whatever we did, we were always together. But then something happened in another summer camp. “Did you hear about the shopping mall news?” asked one of our friends Levar. “They want to cut down some trees to make a shopping centre.” “That’s terrible!” I said, “We have to stop that.” “I differ with you on that point,” said Karina, “The shopping centre would give new jobs to people. Some people really need work.” “But think of all the poor birds. They would lose their homes!” I said. “I want people to have jobs, but it doesn’t mean cutting down trees.” “People’s jobs are more important, aren’t they?” Karina asked. At that moment, I was even thinking, “Maybe two people with different points of view just aren’t meant to be friends.” Just then, Levar jumped up and broke the silence, “Let’s see who can do the high kick (高踢腿)!” Levar took the challenge, Karina followed, and I finally joined them. Although I wished Karina had agreed with me about saving the trees, I realized she had her reasons to support what she did. No two people are exactly the same, even best friends. Most importantly, we should respect each other. 26．What does the underlined word “differ” mean in Paragraph 4?
