Julie was playing with her friend, Becky, in the living room. Julie’s mother wanted to get some fruit for them. She fell down on the way to the kitchen. Julie found her mother couldn’t move or speak. She soon called 911. When Julie was waiting for help, she did CPR (心肺复苏) on her mother with Becky. Soon the doctors came and took Julie’s mother to the hospital. Her mother got her life back. Julie is only eight years old. How did she know CPR? Julie said, “My mother and I often watch a TV show every Saturday and I learned it from the show.” Julie’s mother thanked her daughter for calling 911 and doing CPR on her. She might also need to thank the TV show. 1．What did Julie’s mother want to do when Julie was playing with Becky in the living room? What happened to her mother? 2．What did Julie do after she found her mother couldn’t move or speak? 3．Did her mother get her life back? 4．Where did Julie learn CPR? 5．Did Julie’s mother thank her? Why or why not? Passage 2 Most people don’t take first aid (急救) training because they are busy. But in fact, everyone should learn first aid because it is helpful. Here are its good points. Help to save lives. First aid helps you save lives. Giving someone first aid can help him or her get better soon. It teaches you how to keep calm (镇静的) in special situations. Help someone feel better. Not every accident or injury needs treatment (治疗) in the hospital. But it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to help someone injured, even though the injury isn’t very serious. You can use first aid to help anyone in need like a child crying because of a cold. Keep a situation from getting worse. Sometimes, if a person doesn’t receive first aid in time, he or she will get worse. If you offer him or her care, he or she will feel better. 阅读短文，回答问题。 1．Why should everyone learn first aid? 2．What can first aid teach us? 3．Does every accident need treatment in the hospital? 4．What will happen if a man doesn’t receive first aid in time? 5．How many good points are mentioned in the passage? 话题2 提供帮助及志愿服务 Passage 3 In Sichuan, more than 10 shop owners are giving out free breakfast to people on the street. Why are they doing so? They want to tell people to remember to have a healthy breakfast. During the past few years, they have offered over 20,000 servings (份) of free breakfast. The shop owners offer free breakfast to street cleaners, policemen, students and people on their way to work. Besides (除……之外) the breakfast, in each bag, there is a piece of paper with some warm words, like “Do not forget to have breakfast no matter how busy you are!” and “Only if you take good care of yourself can you take care of your family better!” The kind act started in November, 2016, when Ling Gang, the owner of a restaurant, came up with the idea of providing free breakfast for street cleaners. Ling and other shop owners set up a group and began to offer free breakfast, like bread and milk, once a month. Later, more volunteers (志愿者) and shop owners joined them. Now there are 213 volunteers and more than 10 shop owners in the group. At first, the group sent out several hundred servings of free breakfast each time, but now they can make it to 1,000 servings each time. “The kindness will go on and I hope more people can join us to pass on the love,” Ling said. 根据短文内容，请用完整句子回答下列问题。 1．Why do the shop owners offer free breakfast? 2．When did the kind act start? 3．Does the group offer free breakfast every day? 4．What is Ling’s hope? Passage 4 阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。 As we all know, the International (国际) Volunteer Day is December 5th every year. It started on December 17th, 1985. It’s a day to honor (尊重) volunteers all over the world. Our country now has 450,000 volunteers. They provided more than 4.5 billion hours of volunteer work. Someone says that for students, this kind of work isn’t meaningful and wastes time. But I think that we can get much from it. First of all, volunteering is a good way to open our eyes. We may do something we never do and meet different kinds of people. We can talk with them and get their good ideas. Secondly, volunteers, especially (尤其) students can learn much from practice. As students, we are interested in books and learn some knowledge (知识) from it. After we become volunteers, we will have the chance to put our knowledge into practice. What’s more, volunteering is good for our future job. That is to say, when we take part in other jobs for free, we can get some experience and know how to solve some problems we never met before. In a word, volunteering is a form (形式) of practice and experience. We shouldn’t say no to it. 1．When did the International Volunteer Day begin? 2．How long did the volunteers in China provide for volunteer work? 3．How many benefits (益处) does the writer get? 4．Do you want to be a volunteer? Why? Why not? Write 30 words or more. 话题3 劳动实践，劳动品质 Passage 5 Should parents ask their children to do chores? Some don’t think that children should do chores, because they think children are too young. But many people think that children should do chores. In fact, children can get a sense of happiness when they do chores. Parents should help children learn to do housework that they will have to do when they live on their own. Most experts agree that children can learn a lot from doing chores. However, parents should ask the child to do chores at the right time. Parents shouldn’t ask a schoolboy to cook when he is doing his homework. And parents shouldn’t ask their children to do all chores. Children should do chores for half an hour every day. The chores should suit (适合) the child. When a child does what his parents ask him to do happily, he will probably have the feeling of growing up. Parents can teach children something useful by doing chores. And please make sure that parents also do chores. Parents are children’s good models (榜样). If parents don’t keep the house clean, children won’t find any reason to do chores. 1．Why don’t some parents think children should do chores? 2．What can children get when they do chores? 3．How long should children do chores every day? 4．How can parents teach children something useful? 5．Who are children’s good models, teachers or parents? Passage 6 Now more and more Chinese teenagers find life more difficult without their parents. They don’t know how to do housework, because their parents do almost everything for them at home. This is a big problem. Joy is 14 years old. One day her parents went on a trip to Shanghai, so she had to stay at home alone. At first she thought she would be happy because her parents were not in. She could do everything that she liked. But it was seven o’clock in the evening, and she felt hungry. “Oh, it’s time to have supper. Where can I get my food?” she said to herself. Later she found some food in the fridge, but she didn’t know how to cook. At that moment, she missed her parents very much. At last she could only go to a restaurant to eat. Many of teenagers are the same as Joy. So I think they should learn some basic life skills, like cooking, tidying up their rooms or dressing themselves. They shouldn’t depend too much on their parents. 根据短文内容回答问题。 1．Why do more and more teenagers find life difficult without parents? 2．Where did Joy’s parents go? 3．Did Joy eat dinner at home at last? 4．Why can’t many Chinese teenagers live without their parents? 5．What life skills should the teenagers learn? 话题4 烦恼与建议 Passage 7 阅读下文并回答问题。 Family fights happen in every home. Maybe your parents don’t allow you to play video games, or your brother/ sister takes your things without asking. These problems can make you feel angry or sad, but good communication can help solve them. Why Fights Happen? ·Different opinions: Parents may worry about your grades, while you care more about friends. ·Misunderstanding: Sometimes you forget to explain your feelings clearly. ·Busy schedules（日程安排）: Family members may not have time to talk calmly. How to Communicate Better ·Listen first: Before speaking, try to understand the other person’s thoughts. ·Use “I” messages: Say “I feel upset when...” instead of “You always...”. ·Choose the right time: Discuss problems when everyone is relaxed, not during dinner or before exams. A Real Example Last week, Li Ming argued with his mom because she refused to let him join a school trip. Instead of shouting, he wrote a note: “Mom, I feel sad because I really want to go. Can we talk about safety rules?” Then, he talked to his mom calmly about the rules. Later, they reached an agreement—Li Ming could go if he finished his homework early. 1．Is it normal for families to have fights? 2．How did Li Ming solve the problem with his mom? 3．Why do some students have a fight with family members? 4．Do you agree that good communication can help solve problems? Why or Why not? Passage 8 Now there is a family problem. Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In their eyes, we are always little ones and often do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them. Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live well. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, everything that they can for their dear children. In return, they only want their children to get good results in the exams. But why still can’t their children understand them? In fact, what we want is a true family. I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, consolation (安慰) and happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident (自信的) outside, because we know that we have a true family. I think parents should sit down to talk with their children to let them know they have a true family. so the children and their parents could understand each other more and more. Then, parents will not see their children as little ones. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．In whose eyes are we little children? 2．What do most parents want to get from their children? 3．What does the underlined word “it ” refer to (指代)? 4．Can we get warmth, consolation and happiness from the cold world outside? 5．What do you think parents should do to make their children understand them more? 话题5 过去发生的事 Passage 9 One hot day, three friends named Lily, Max, and Sarah decided to treat themselves to some delicious ice-creams. As they got close to Sweet Delights, a famous ice-cream shop, they saw along line of people waiting outside. But they really wanted the sweet treats, so they decided to wait patiently. The line was moving slowly, but the three friends made the waiting fun by talking about their favorite ice-creams and other interesting things. When it was finally their turn to buy ice-creams, something not so nice happened. A group of noisy teenagers came along and pushed their way in front of the three friends. Lily, Max, and Sarah felt upset and unfair. Lily, the bravest of them all, spoke up. “Excuse me, but I think it's my turn next. Can you please check?” A big boy at the front looked surprised. But when he saw the angry looks of the people around him, he said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know. Please go on.” The three friends smiled. They went to the front and ordered their favorite ice-creams. As the three friends enjoyed their sweet treats, they talked about what had happened. They realized people sometimes overlook (忽视) those who are patiently waiting for their turns. So, they decided to start a movement to remind people about fairness and politeness in lines. They made lots of colorful posters (海报) with “Excuse me, but I am next!” on them and gave them to schools and shops. It was successful! Sweet Delights quickly made signs and ropes to keep the line in the shop organized and fair. Many other shops also started to do the same. Everyone in town learned to be patient, polite and kind. Lily, Max and Sarah were very happy to see that they made a difference! 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．In which shop did the three friends buy ice—creams? 2．How did the three friends make the waiting fun? 3．Who spoke up when the teenagers cut in line? 4．What was the purpose (目的) of the three friends’ movement? 5．What difference did the three friends make to the people in town? Passage 10 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 On April 26, 2023, a school bus driver was taking students home from school in Michigan, the USA．All of a sudden, the driver felt dizzy. He tried to stop the bus by the road, but he couldn’t get to the place he wanted and then he passed out (失去知觉). The bus started to go towards the cars on the other side of the road. It was really dangerous! Just then, Dillon Reeves did something brave (勇敢的). Dillon Reeves was on the bus at that time.

They looked after the driver and helped the students get on another bus. The new bus took the students home safely. Luckily, no one got hurt on the bus. Later, when someone asked Dillon Reeves what he did that for, he said he didn’t want anything for it. The City of Warren was really proud of Dillon Reeves. His parents said he was their little hero (英雄). Dillon Reeves’ dad said, “This is good for Dillon Reeves and our city. The world needs more good things like this.

None of the animals wanted to be his friend because he was too large. One day, a wild fire happened in the forest. The animals ran to safer places. The dry trees caught fire and the fire was sure to go all around the forest. The baby elephant ran to the nearest river, collected much water in his trunk (象鼻) and rushed to the burning trees. He sprayed (喷) the water on the fire. Finally, he put out the fire. Later, while he was resting after the hard job, all the animals and birds came to him and expressed their thanks for his kind help in time. They were now ready to have him as their good friend and their hero. They said, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” The baby elephant was happy to get so many friends and played games with them.

Passage 12 In a big forest, there lived a strong lion. He was the king of the forest, but he often bullied (欺负) the smaller animals. One day, the lion caught a little mouse. The mouse was so frightened. The lion opened his big mouth, ready to eat the mouse. The mouse cried out, “Please, Mr. Lion! Don’t eat me. If you let me go, I might be able to help you one day.” The lion laughed loudly and thought it was so funny that such a small mouse could help him. But he was in a good mood that day, so he let the mouse go. A few days later, the lion got caught in a hunter’s net. He tried his best to break free, but the net was too strong. Just then, the little mouse passed by. When it saw the lion in trouble, it quickly ran up and started to bite (咬) the ropes with its sharp teeth. Bit by bit, the ropes were broken, and the lion was finally free “Thank you so much, little mouse,” said the lion. “I’m so sorry for looking down on you before.

They are cute and smart. Some dogs have a job and they work as guide dogs. They help blind people. How can a dog be a guide dog? Guide dogs first live with a family. When they are 1 year old, they go to a guide dog school. They study there for about six to eight months. The trainers take them to different places, such as stores, buses and hospitals. In this way, they train dogs how to help people stay safe. There are tests. Some dogs pass the tests and start to work. A guide dog works for about eight to ten years. Not any dog can be a guide dog. They should be clever, quiet and not very curious (好奇的). And they shouldn’t be too small. Small dogs can’t keep people safe. Only the best dogs graduate (毕业) from the guide dog school and become working guide dogs. When we see a guide dog, we shouldn’t call the dog, feed the dog or touch the dog, because guide dogs must keep watching carefully and keep their owners safe. 根据语篇内容，回答问题。 1．Who do guide dogs help? 2．How old are the dogs when they go to a guide dog school? 3．Why do the trainers take dogs to different places? 4．Can we touch or feed guide dogs when we meet them? 5．In what other ways do you think dogs can help people? Passage 14 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Plants: more than we thought Plants are amazing! In the past, there were some ideas that plants had feelings and could act like people. But now, new studies show that plants are unusual in their own ways. Protecting (保护) themselves One way is how plants protect themselves. For example, when worms eat them, tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice. This can even make the worms eat each other! Corn (玉米) plants can check what worms leave behind and then use that information to call a bee to hunt the worms. Plant communication Plants can also talk to each other. They mainly use special air. There are small openings on plants that look like little fish mouths under a microscope. These openings let out air with information. When a plant has problems, like being eaten or hurt by wind, it sends a “call”. Other plants close to it can get this “call” and get ready to stay safe. Plant memory Do plants have memory? One example is the “memory of winter”. Many fruit trees need to “remember” the number of cold days in winter to blossom in spring. They remember the cold and warm days to stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter. Now, when we look at plants in a park, we can think of them as little “strangers” (陌生人) with their own “stories” going on all around. We don’t know if they feel pain (疼痛), but they sense touch or respond to being eaten, even though they don’t feel pain like we do. 1．What can tomato plants do when worms eat them? 2．What do plants mainly use to talk to each other? 3．Why do plants remember the cold and warm days in winter? 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? 5．How do you usually look after the amazing plants around us? 话题8 文学与音乐 Passage 15 ①Journey to the West was “hot” again last year. The Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong made the classic story Journey to the West popular around the world in 2024. In fact, people around the world have loved the story of the monkey Sun Wukong (Monkey King) for a long time. ②British sinologist (汉学家) Arthur Waley brought the story to many English people in the 1940s. Later, Japan showed Sun Wukong to the world through a TV show Saiyuki in the 1970 and 80s. And many more works followed. ③But what makes this story so popular around the world? People everywhere can understand Sun Wukong, who breaks the rules of Heaven and tries to get free from the hand of the great Buddha (佛). As the writer Li Tianfei told China Daily, the experience of Sun Wukong and his friends is more than a Chinese classical story. “At its heart, Journey to the West is about growing up and being free,” Li said. ④Sun Wukong’s journey is a lot like the stories of heroes in Western cultures, such as Spiderman from Western classical stories. These stories show heroes who might make mistakes but become better over time, just like today’s superheroes. What’s more, before Superheroes appeared, Sun Wukong knew that people with power should help others. ⑤Sun Wukong’s story never gets old because everyone can understand it. His story shows us about being brave and doing the right things—things all people understand and love to see. This is why people all over the world like to create new stories about Sun Wukong. Now, through games, books and TV, young people still love the Monkey King. After all, everyone loves a hero who isn’t afraid to fight for what’s right! 根据语篇内容，按要求回答问题。 1．What made Journey to the West popular around the world in 2024? 2．Who helped many English people learn about Journey to the West in the 1940s? 3．What is Journey to the West about according to Li Tianfei? 4．According to the passage, what did Sun Wukong know before superheroes appeared? 5．According to the writer, why do people like to create new stories about Sun Wukong? Passage 16 The time traveller paused for a moment as he thought back to his adventure. Then, he continued: “One of them came out of the bushes and ran towards me. He was just over a metre tall and very thin. I was surprised by how beautiful and graceful he was. “The little man came up to me and looked into my face. Then, he began laughing. I realized that he was not even a little afraid of me. And I thought this was strange. He then spoke to another two little men. He did not use a language I knew. By now, about ten of the little people were surrounding me. They began gently touching me, as if to make sure that I was real. I was not at all afraid, though (不过)。 “To my surprise, they did not try to communicate with me, so I tried to communicate with them. I pointed to the time machine and then to myself. I did not know how to communicate the idea of time travel, so I pointed to the sun. Immediately, one of them made a noise like thunder and looked at me questioningly. ‘Did this mean,’ I thought, ‘that he thought I was a visitor from the sun? If he did, then these little people of the future were not very clever.’ It was the kind of question a child would ask. I was very disappointed. ‘These people have nothing to teach us,’ I thought.” (Taken from The Time Machine) 1．Why did the traveller feel surprised? 2．What did the traveller feel strange about? 3．What did the traveller want to tell them about? 4．Why did the traveller feel disappointed? 5．Where did the traveller travel, the past or the future? 话题9 有趣的地方 Passage 17 阅读下文并回答问题。 These days, more and more people in Chongqing are choosing to spend their weekends hiking (徒步旅行) or climbing mountains.

Passage 14 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Plants: more than we thought Plants are amazing! In the past, there were some ideas that plants had feelings and could act like people. But now, new studies show that plants are unusual in their own ways. Protecting (保护) themselves One way is how plants protect themselves. For example, when worms eat them, tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice. This can even make the worms eat each other! Corn (玉米) plants can check what worms leave behind and then use that information to call a bee to hunt the worms. Plant communication Plants can also talk to each other. They mainly use special air. There are small openings on plants that look like little fish mouths under a microscope. These openings let out air with information. When a plant has problems, like being eaten or hurt by wind, it sends a “call”. Other plants close to it can get this “call” and get ready to stay safe. Plant memory Do plants have memory? One example is the “memory of winter”. Many fruit trees need to “remember” the number of cold days in winter to blossom in spring. They remember the cold and warm days to stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter. Now, when we look at plants in a park, we can think of them as little “strangers” (陌生人) with their own “stories” going on all around. We don’t know if they feel pain (疼痛), but they sense touch or respond to being eaten, even though they don’t feel pain like we do. 1．What can tomato plants do when worms eat them? 2．What do plants mainly use to talk to each other? 3．Why do plants remember the cold and warm days in winter? 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? 5．How do you usually look after the amazing plants around us? 【答案】1．Tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice. 2．Plants mainly use special air to talk to each other. 3．To stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter. 4．The passage mainly talks about the amazing abilities of plants, including protecting themselves, communicating with each other, and having memory. 5．We should water them regularly, give them enough sunlight, and protect them from strong wind and cold weather. 【导语】本文主要描述了植物在不同方面的奇妙特性，比如自我保护、沟通和记忆，说明植物的多样性和独特性。 1．根据“when worms eat them, tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice.”可知，番茄植物在被虫咬时会释放特殊汁液使叶子变苦，甚至让虫子互相残杀。故填Tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice. 2．根据“They mainly use special air. There are small openings on plants that look like little fish mouths under a microscope.”可知，植物通过小孔释放带有信息的特殊空气进行交流，故填Plants mainly use special air to talk to each other. 3．根据“Many fruit trees need to ‘remember’ the number of cold days in winter to blossom in spring. They remember the cold and warm days to stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter.”可知，植物通过记忆冬季的冷暖天数，确保春季适时开花，避免暖冬过早开花。故填To stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter. 4．通读全文可知，文章通过自我保护、交流、记忆三个方面说明植物的独特能力，故填The passage mainly talks about the amazing abilities of plants, including protecting themselves, communicating with each other, and having memory. 5．开放性问题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：We should water them regularly, give them enough sunlight, and protect them from strong wind and cold weather. 话题8 文学与音乐 Passage 15 ①Journey to the West was “hot” again last year.

Passage 16 The time traveller paused for a moment as he thought back to his adventure. Then, he continued: “One of them came out of the bushes and ran towards me. He was just over a metre tall and very thin. I was surprised by how beautiful and graceful he was. “The little man came up to me and looked into my face. Then, he began laughing.

Immediately, one of them made a noise like thunder and looked at me questioningly. ‘Did this mean,’ I thought, ‘that he thought I was a visitor from the sun?
