Do you know that blind (失明的) people can read books? They can’t see, but they do have a special way to read books and papers.
Close your eyes and touch a book. Maybe you can’t feel the letters and words, can you? You can’t read one of your books if you can’t see. But what if the book has small dots that are bumps in the paper? You can touch those.
Braille (盲文) is the special alphabet that blind people use to read. Each letter is made of small dots that rise out of the paper in a special pattern (图案). Blind people read braille by using their fingers to feel each letter.
Here is a picture of what the patterns in the braille alphabet look like.
The braille alphabet was invented (发明) nearly 200 years ago by a blind man named Louis Braille. He wanted to be able to read and write just like everyone else. He couldn’t see, so he invented an alphabet made of dots.
Today, braille letters are found in books, on medicine boxes, and there are even braille computer keyboards. Most McDonald’s (麦当劳) even have braille menus for blind people.

A. B.C. D.
2.What can we learn about Braille from the passage?

Do you know a “shore keeper (海岸卫士)”? In fact, it’s not a job for people like zookeeper. It is a job for a special kind of forest—mangrove forest. In China, we call it hongshulin or “red forest”. Let’s go into a mangrove forest to have a look.
They grow near the sea. They can grow up to 10 meters.
They keep the land from the sea. This way, they protect the land from strong winds and waves. The trees stand tidy team, with shorter ones standing at the front and taller ones at the back. When typhoons (台风) come, they protect the towns nearby.
Like other trees, mangrove trees take in CO2 to make oxygen (氧气). They are helping to keep the air clean and slow down weather change on Earth. Mangrove trees can grow up to 10 meters. Many wild birds live here. Many birds stop by for food during their trip.
Are the trees red? No, mangrove trees don’t have red leaves or flowers. They are green. But they have special bark (树皮). Their bark can be used to make red dyes (染料). The bark gets air through small holes. The holes can close during high tide (涨潮). This way, the tree won’t die.
Some parts of the roots (根) grow out of the water. They need more oxygen to live. They are also homes to snakes and lizards. The roots grow in salty water. They are not easy to get through. They make great homes for baby sea animals, like baby lobsters, baby turtles and baby fish. They can keep away from big animals.

The Moon is missing! The Sun is missing too! We can’t see them. Where did they go? Maybe Tiangou ate it! In the old Chinese story. Tiangou was a dangerous dog with dark red eyes and a large mouth. When it got angry, it would fly into the sky and bite the Moon and the Sun, so the sky became dark soon.
Now we know the story is not true. We can’t see the Moon or the Sun because an eclipse happens. You can think about the picture in your head: when reading a book, someone walks between you and the light. The person makes a shadow on the book, so it is hard to see the words. This is the same way an eclipse happens. A lunar eclipse (the eclipse of the Moon) or a solar eclipse (the eclipse of the Sun) happens when the Earth or the Moon stops light coming from the Sun and makes a big shadow.
A full Moon is bright in the night sky. A shadow walks slowly across its face. It happens when the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun are in a line. The Moon moves into the Earth’s shadow, so it looks dark. We see the Moon again when it moves out of this shadow. Sometimes the Moon, the Earth and the Sun are in a straight line and the whole Moon is in Earth’s shadow. This is a total lunar eclipse. Sometimes the Earth’s shadow does not hide the whole Moon. This is a partial (部分的) lunar eclipse.
If the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun are in a line, but the Moon stands between them, what will happen?
1.Why does the writer talk about Tiangou in Paragraph 1?
A.To make readers interested in eclipses.
B.To make readers believe the old stories.
C.To show an angry dog can be dangerous.
D.To show Chinese knew eclipses years ago.
2.What does the underlined word “shadow” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.A ghost. B.A dark area. C.An open space. D.A strange thing.
3.When a lunar eclipse happens, _________.
A.the Sun stops shining in the sky
B.the Moon and the Sun change places
C.the Earth or the Moon stands in front of the Sun
D.the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun stand in a line
4.What will the writer talk about in the following paragraph?
A.How the lunar eclipse comes.
B.How the solar eclipse comes.
C.How the sunlight comes to the earth.
D.How the moonlight comes to the earth.

①Scientists have found that plants can make sounds.
②A scientist Lily Hadany and her team recorded (录制) tomato plants at different times. It showed that the plants made ultrasonic (超声波) sounds. People could only hear them with the help of a computer. They were noises like clicking sounds.
③As the scientists studied the sounds, they began to find some interesting facts. Plants made different sounds at different times. They seldom clicked (发出咔嗒声) when they had enough water, but when they needed water, they clicked more and more. Scientists also found that plants made sounds when they got hurt. When scientists cut off a leaf from the plants, the plants also clicked more. But the clicking wasn’t the same as when the plants needed water.
④Some scientists designed a computer AI system to tell the different kinds of clicking sounds. It was able to find the difference between plants that needed water and plants with cuts. It means that one day we may be able to use these sounds to find out when it is in difficult time, and what problem it is having. That could be very helpful to farmers.
⑤The team’s finding changes our ideas about plants. As Dr. Hadany says, “Even in a quiet field, there are sounds made by plants, and those sounds carry information and may help us a lot.”
1.Which of the following may you need if you want to hear the sounds of plants?
A.B.C. D.
2.How does the writer show the interesting facts in Paragraph 3?
A.By giving examples. B.By telling stories.
C.By asking questions. D.By using numbers.
3.What can people do with the help of the team’s finding?
A.Stop people from cutting down trees.
B.Know how to tell different sounds faster.
C.Help farmers to know more about their plants.
D.Hear more beautiful sounds from different plants.
4.What is the structure (结构) of the passage?
A.① / ②③④ / ⑤ B.①②③④ / ⑤
C.① / ② / ③ / ④⑤ D.① / ②③④⑤

Beachcombing involves searching the seashore for interesting objects, both natural and made by humans. Winter is a great time to try this fun activity because strong winds and big waves churn up the sea and fling things ashore.
Here are some tips on how to prepare for and enjoy beachcombing.
Be prepared.
Ask an adult to check the tides. This is the natural rise and fall of the sea every day. It’s best to go beachcombing two to three hours before or after low tide, when the beach is exposed. Dress in warm, comfortable clothes and wear wellies. Take a bucket (水桶) for collecting specimens, a notebook and a camera.
Get searching
Walk slowly so you can spy things. The strandline is a good place to look. This is the point to which waves carry debris on beaches. It’s higher than the water line and you might see it is marked by a line of seaweed.
Record and learn
Don’t forget to take pictures or note down what you see. You could even try sketching some of the items you come across. There are some things that you might want to look up later, to find out more about them.
1.Which season is the best time to go beachcombing according to the text?
A.Spring. B.Summer. C.Autumn. D.Winter.
2.What is needed to check when you prepare for beachcombing?

As we all know, activities like listening to the birds or taking a walk in the park is good for our health. But someone thinks birdwatching is often boring.
In fact, a study published in 2024 shows that even half an hour of birdwatching could make us happier, healthier and help us get close to nature. Even hearing birds indoors through an open window can change our bad feelings. The study also shows that it is better to watch birds than to take a walk.
So why is birdwatching so good for us? Biophilia (亲生物性) could be a big part of it. It means that humans have a good relationship with nature—some would think that we should see ourselves as part of nature—so being in nature makes us feel well. But biodiversity (生物多样性) is important too. The study shows that biodiversity is a natural medicine for humans that can help us relax and do more activities.
Another reason is that after being careful to do birdwatching, we can get happiness and know a lot about birds. The study also shows that noticing wildlife in nature can make us get closer to nature and learn more about it. So birdwatching can make us feel happy.
So, take your binoculars and walk into nature for birdwatching to help you relax and be happy. Enjoy every moment and have fun.
1.What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A.It is better to take a walk than to watch birds in nature.
B.Even keeping the door open can make us happy again.
C.Birdwatching can be helpful to us and make us happier.
D.Taking a walk for one hour can help us watch birds.
2.The underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A.why Biophilia is helpful to us B.why biodiversity is so important
C.why we are part of our nature D.why birdwatching is good for us
3.What is the correct structure (结构) of the article?
A.①→②→③④→⑤ B.①→②③④→⑤

In the year 2070, most of you will be more than 60 years old. The good news is that travel may become smarter by that time. European airline easyJet made some guesses and released (发布) easyJet 2070: The Future Travel Report. Let’s take a look at some exciting ideas.
Heartbeat passport (心跳护照)
Paper passports will be a thing of the past. You will use “heartbeat passports” instead. Some scientists say everyone’s heartbeat is different. So the data (数据) will be used to tell who you are.

There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A futuristic device (未来设备) could show films straight in front of your eyes.
Printed clothes and food
If you hate packing (打包) clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, you will have a body scan. When you arrive, you’ll find a wardrobe full of 3D-printed clothes in your size. When you leave, people will use the clothes again to print (打印) for the next person. You can also 3D print what you want to eat.

Braille (盲文) is the special alphabet that blind people use to read. Each letter is made of small dots that rise out of the paper in a special pattern (图案). Blind people read braille by using their fingers to feel each letter.
Here is a picture of what the patterns in the braille alphabet look like.
The braille alphabet was invented (发明) nearly 200 years ago by a blind man named Louis Braille. He wanted to be able to read and write just like everyone else. He couldn’t see, so he invented an alphabet made of dots.
Today, braille letters are found in books, on medicine boxes, and there are even braille computer keyboards. Most McDonald’s (麦当劳) even have braille menus for blind people.
1.Which picture shows the word “you” for blind people?
A. B.C. D.
2.What can we learn about Braille from the passage?
A.It’s difficult for children to learn Braille. B.It’s a special newspaper for blind people.

Do you know a “shore keeper (海岸卫士)”? In fact, it’s not a job for people like zookeeper. It is a job for a special kind of forest—mangrove forest. In China, we call it hongshulin or “red forest”. Let’s go into a mangrove forest to have a look.
They grow near the sea. They can grow up to 10 meters.
They keep the land from the sea. This way, they protect the land from strong winds and waves. The trees stand tidy team, with shorter ones standing at the front and taller ones at the back. When typhoons (台风) come, they protect the towns nearby.
Like other trees, mangrove trees take in CO2 to make oxygen (氧气). They are helping to keep the air clean and slow down weather change on Earth. Mangrove trees can grow up to 10 meters. Many wild birds live here. Many birds stop by for food during their trip.
Are the trees red? No, mangrove trees don’t have red leaves or flowers. They are green. But they have special bark (树皮). Their bark can be used to make red dyes (染料). The bark gets air through small holes. The holes can close during high tide (涨潮). This way, the tree won’t die.
Some parts of the roots (根) grow out of the water. They need more oxygen to live. They are also homes to snakes and lizards. The roots grow in salty water. They are not easy to get through. They make great homes for baby sea animals, like baby lobsters, baby turtles and baby fish. They can keep away from big animals.

The Moon is missing! The Sun is missing too! We can’t see them. Where did they go? Maybe Tiangou ate it! In the old Chinese story. Tiangou was a dangerous dog with dark red eyes and a large mouth. When it got angry, it would fly into the sky and bite the Moon and the Sun, so the sky became dark soon.
Now we know the story is not true. We can’t see the Moon or the Sun because an eclipse happens. You can think about the picture in your head: when reading a book, someone walks between you and the light. The person makes a shadow on the book, so it is hard to see the words. This is the same way an eclipse happens. A lunar eclipse (the eclipse of the Moon) or a solar eclipse (the eclipse of the Sun) happens when the Earth or the Moon stops light coming from the Sun and makes a big shadow.
A full Moon is bright in the night sky. A shadow walks slowly across its face. It happens when the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun are in a line. The Moon moves into the Earth’s shadow, so it looks dark. We see the Moon again when it moves out of this shadow. Sometimes the Moon, the Earth and the Sun are in a straight line and the whole Moon is in Earth’s shadow. This is a total lunar eclipse. Sometimes the Earth’s shadow does not hide the whole Moon. This is a partial (部分的) lunar eclipse.
If the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun are in a line, but the Moon stands between them, what will happen?
1.Why does the writer talk about Tiangou in Paragraph 1?
A.To make readers interested in eclipses.
B.To make readers believe the old stories.
C.To show an angry dog can be dangerous.
D.To show Chinese knew eclipses years ago.
2.What does the underlined word “shadow” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.A ghost. B.A dark area. C.An open space. D.A strange thing.
3.When a lunar eclipse happens, _________.
A.the Sun stops shining in the sky
B.the Moon and the Sun change places
C.the Earth or the Moon stands in front of the Sun
D.the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun stand in a line
4.What will the writer talk about in the following paragraph?
A.How the lunar eclipse comes.
B.How the solar eclipse comes.
C.How the sunlight comes to the earth.
D.How the moonlight comes to the earth.
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.D 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了月食,包括月食形成的原因以及月食具体的呈现状态。
1.细节理解题。根据“The Moon is missing! The Sun is missing too! We can’t see them. Where did they go? Maybe Tiangou ate it! ”以及“Now we know the story is not true. We can’t see the Moon or the Sun because an eclipse happens.”可知为了让读者对日食感兴趣。故选A。
2.词句猜测题。根据“You can think about the picture in your head: when reading a book, someone walks between you and the light.”可知,应说这个人在书上留下阴影,所以很难看到字。所以shadow意为“阴影”与A dark area相符。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据“It happens when the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun are in a line. The Moon moves into the Earth’s shadow, so it looks dark. We see the Moon again when it moves out of this shadow. Sometimes the Moon, the Earth and the Sun are in a straight line and the whole Moon is in Earth’s shadow. This is a total lunar eclipse. Sometimes the Earth’s shadow does not hide the whole Moon. This is a partial lunar eclipse.”可知当月食发生时,月亮、太阳和地球在一条线上。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据“If the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun are in a line, but the Moon stands between them, what will happen?”可知作者会谈论地球、月球和太阳成一条直线,且月球位于中间发生的日食现象。故选B。

①Scientists have found that plants can make sounds.
②A scientist Lily Hadany and her team recorded (录制) tomato plants at different times. It showed that the plants made ultrasonic (超声波) sounds. People could only hear them with the help of a computer. They were noises like clicking sounds.
③As the scientists studied the sounds, they began to find some interesting facts. Plants made different sounds at different times. They seldom clicked (发出咔嗒声) when they had enough water, but when they needed water, they clicked more and more. Scientists also found that plants made sounds when they got hurt. When scientists cut off a leaf from the plants, the plants also clicked more. But the clicking wasn’t the same as when the plants needed water.
④Some scientists designed a computer AI system to tell the different kinds of clicking sounds. It was able to find the difference between plants that needed water and plants with cuts. It means that one day we may be able to use these sounds to find out when it is in difficult time, and what problem it is having. That could be very helpful to farmers.

Beachcombing involves searching the seashore for interesting objects, both natural and made by humans. Winter is a great time to try this fun activity because strong winds and big waves churn up the sea and fling things ashore.
Here are some tips on how to prepare for and enjoy beachcombing.
Be prepared.
Ask an adult to check the tides. This is the natural rise and fall of the sea every day. It’s best to go beachcombing two to three hours before or after low tide, when the beach is exposed. Dress in warm, comfortable clothes and wear wellies. Take a bucket (水桶) for collecting specimens, a notebook and a camera.
Get searching
Walk slowly so you can spy things. The strandline is a good place to look. This is the point to which waves carry debris on beaches. It’s higher than the water line and you might see it is marked by a line of seaweed.
Record and learn
Don’t forget to take pictures or note down what you see. You could even try sketching some of the items you come across. There are some things that you might want to look up later, to find out more about them.
1.Which season is the best time to go beachcombing according to the text?
A.Spring. B.Summer. C.Autumn. D.Winter.
2.What is needed to check when you prepare for beachcombing?
4.5 ft

As we all know, activities like listening to the birds or taking a walk in the park is good for our health. But someone thinks birdwatching is often boring.
In fact, a study published in 2024 shows that even half an hour of birdwatching could make us happier, healthier and help us get close to nature. Even hearing birds indoors through an open window can change our bad feelings. The study also shows that it is better to watch birds than to take a walk.
So why is birdwatching so good for us? Biophilia (亲生物性) could be a big part of it. It means that humans have a good relationship with nature—some would think that we should see ourselves as part of nature—so being in nature makes us feel well. But biodiversity (生物多样性) is important too. The study shows that biodiversity is a natural medicine for humans that can help us relax and do more activities.
Another reason is that after being careful to do birdwatching, we can get happiness and know a lot about birds. The study also shows that noticing wildlife in nature can make us get closer to nature and learn more about it. So birdwatching can make us feel happy.
So, take your binoculars and walk into nature for birdwatching to help you relax and be happy. Enjoy every moment and have fun.
