In the UK, bus journeys are very common. Buses are often convenient（便利的）for the people who live or work in the city centre. Passengers can avoid heavy traffic and do not have to pay for the parking. However, taking the bus is just a necessary but boring part of life: They get on the bus, pay for it and sit down or find a place to stand when it is crowded. Everyone seems sad and bored. In Latin America, however, bus trips can be wonderful. For a start, films are showed on the buses between cities for passengers to have fun along the journeys. Local buses do not show films, but drivers usually turn on the radio and it can be great for passengers to listen to songs and get relaxed. Even better than films and music are the sights and sounds on the buses. Local buses always go to parts of the town that passengers would not visit by themselves. There passengers can see shops that they have never heard about. And they can also see other cultures of the town from the windows of the buses. Besides, passengers’ luggage（行李）is also interesting. It is common to see a happy dog’s head getting out of somebody’s bag or a lovely chicken “speaking cheerfully” under somebody’s arm. Once on a bus in Peru, a farmer even tied a sheep to the top of the bus. It was quite surprising. In all, taking the bus in Latin America is really fun and unforgettable. （每题答案不超过8个词） 1．How do passengers in the UK probably feel on the buses? 2．In Latin America, can people have fun on the buses between cities? 3．What are even better than films and music on the buses? 4．In Latin America, why is passengers’ luggage interesting? 5．What do you think of the bus trips in Latin America? 【答案】1．They feel sad and bored. 2．Yes, they can. 3．The sights and sounds on the buses. 4．Because passengers’ luggage includes different kinds of animals. 5．It is fun and unforgettable. 【导语】本文介绍了英国的公共汽车之旅让乘客感到无聊，而拉丁美洲，无论是城市之间的公共汽车还是当地的公共汽车之旅都让人放松愉快甚至感到有趣。 1．根据“Everyone seems sad and bored.”可知在英国公交车上的乘客感到悲伤和无聊。故填They feel sad and bored. 2．根据“For a start, films are showed on the buses between cities for passengers to have fun along the journeys”可知在城市之间的公交车上放映电影，让乘客在旅途中享受乐趣，故此处作肯定回答。故填Yes, they can. 3．根据“Even better than films and music are the sights and sounds on the buses.”可知比电影和音乐更好的是公交车上的景象和声音。故填The sights and sounds on the buses. 4．根据“Besides, passengers’ luggage（行李）is also interesting.

The Great Wall has a history of over 2,000 years. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period more walls were built to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. Later, the Qin dynasty united the different parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up. The Great Wall is wide enough on the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to watch enemies. They lit fires on the towers as a warning when the enemy came. It was very difficult to build such a wall in ancient times without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.

Many people enjoy going on holiday. It is a good time to relax, visit new places and see new things. But you should choose who you want to have a trip with. Having a trip with your family can be very cheap or free if your parents pay. But there are many arguments (争吵). For example, on our trip to Hawaii last year, we had different ideas about what to do. Dad always wants to go to a museum. Mom would like to stay in the hotel. My sister likes to shop for clothes. As for me, the coffee shop is the best place. It would be fun to have a trip with friends. It is a good way to have a better friendship. You can get to know more about your friends. You can become closer to each other. But when you have a trip with friends, you must do more different things than when you have a trip with your family. Also, money is always important. You may have different plans. There are also a lot of problems about what to eat and where to stay. There’s another way about who you have a trip with. That’s having a trip by yourself. If you have a trip by yourself, you might spend less money. You can choose what you want to do and eat. It’s easier for you to make new friends. Of course, having a trip by yourself is not always a good idea. Sometimes you might get bored. If you need to go to the washroom at the bus station or airport (机场), there is nobody to look after your things. 1．Why did the writer’s family have an argument on the trip to Hawaii? 2．Do you do fewer things if you have a trip with your friend? 3．What are the two problems when you have a trip by yourself? 4．How many ways of trip does the writer mention (提到)? 5．Who do you want to have a trip with?

The stories in The Ice Cream Machine have the same title, but they each have a different plot (情节) about the ice cream. One story is about a boy and his robot in the future. Another is about a father and a daughter who create an ice cream machine. My favourite story in the book is about two sisters, Pam and Penelope, who try to enter an ice-cream-eating competition. As well as the stories above, there are three more stories in the book. Its writer, Adam Rubin, has much experience when it comes to writing about food. His most famous children’s book is Dragons Love Tacos. “I like to write about food because it’s loved by people of all different cultures,” Rubin says. Rubin hopes The Ice Cream Machine inspires kids to write. Its jacket (书套) turns into an envelope in which readers can send him their stories. Rubin says writers should write about things they like. “If you’ re trying to write to please someone else, you might not get it right. Then no one is happy,” he says. I recommend The Ice Cream Machine to anyone who likes creative and funny story-telling. The book goes down just like ice cream: smooth, enjoyable and with a pleasant aftertaste. 1．How many stories are there in all in the book? 2．Why does Rubin write about food? 3．Do you think the book is worth (值得) reading?

A book like that for me was published this week. It’s called 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet, written by Pamela Paul. Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over: writing letters, print newspapers, the joys of being bored, and not having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket. I’m a fan of different knowledge, so certain things on the list—Being the Only One, finding Out Who That Actor is—hit me: remembering detailed facts is no longer a necessity when everyone has the ability to find the answer in seconds. On and on the list goes, more small things are added to the list. What this book does so well is that it’s a list of ways in which the world now is different from the world then. Clearly, Paul isn’t saying that everything back then was better. Time goes on, after all. And it’s difficult to argue against the many benefits that the Internet has brought into our lives. But that isn’t really the point. It’s not about whether it used to be better. It’s that it used to be different. 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet is a fun read for those of us who share some of Paul’s memories and experiences. We remember what it was like and we like to remember. The view has changed, and no doubt it will change again as technology’s advancement continues quickly. This book serves as a reminder of the simple truth that when gains are made, sometimes something is lost. 1．What’s the name of the book? 2．What things does Paul list in the book? 3．Why is the book a fun to read for us? 4．What do you think of the book? Why? 【答案】1．100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet. 2．Writing letters, print newspapers, the joys of being bored, and not having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket. 3．Because it reminds us of the past and we like to remember those memories. 4．I think the book is meaningful because it helps us reflect on how technology has changed our lives. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Pamela Paul所著的《100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet》一书，列举了互联网时代我们失去的100件事物，并探讨了这些变化带来的影响。 1．根据文章第1段“It’s called 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet, written by Pamela Paul.”可知，这本书名为《100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet》。故填100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet. 2．根据文章第2段“Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over: writing letters, print newspapers, the joys of being bored, and not having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket.”可知，Paul列举了100件我们过去常做但已被互联网改变或取代的事情：写信、纸质报纸、无聊的乐趣，以及无法将全世界的知识装进口袋。故填Writing letters, print newspapers, the joys of being bored, and not having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket. 3．根据文章最后一段“100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet is a fun read for those of us who share some of Paul’s memories and experiences. We remember what it was like and we like to remember.”可知，《100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet》对那些与Paul有共同记忆和经历的人来说是一本有趣的读物。故填Because it reminds us of the past and we like to remember those memories. 4．(开放性问答，言之有理即可)示例：I think the book is meaningful because it helps us reflect on how technology has changed our lives. (我认为这本书很有意义，因为它帮助我们反思技术如何改变了我们的生活。) 阅读短文简略回答问题 When two people meet, there are a lot of ways of greeting. The ways of greeting are not always the same in different countries. In America, two people usually greet each other with a handshake. It is a way to show respect (尊重) to the other person.

Every Chinese kid struggles with them for some time. But chopsticks are not just simple tools to pick up food. They come with their own special rules and traditions. Let’s learn the rules and traditions behind chopsticks. Generally, people should not make noise with chopsticks. Playing with chopsticks is seen as bad manners, just as playing with forks and knives in a Western country would be rude. There are also some superstitions（迷信 ） related to chopsticks. For example, some people believe that chopsticks should not be left standing upright in a bowl. It looks like the incense （香 ）that Chinese use to honor（祭奠 ）the dead. Doing it at the dinner table is believed to bring bad luck. You should not tap chopsticks on the edge of the bowl either, as beggars（乞丐）do this to ask for food. Parents might get angry if children do this as they don’t want their children to be as poor as beggars in the future. Chopsticks can also be a great gift. In Chinese, “chopsticks” are known as “kuaizi”, which means to have babies soon. Newlyweds（ 新 婚夫妇 ）sometimes receive chopsticks as a wedding gift. Skilled craftsmen（ 手艺人 ）paint beautiful images on chopsticks to make them look like fine artwork. 1．What do people think if you play with your chopsticks? 2．Should we leave chopsticks standing upright in a bowl? 3．Why shouldn’t you tap your chopsticks on the edge of the bowl? 4．What else are chopsticks used for, according to the last paragraph? 5．What is the story mainly about? 【答案】1．They may think I’m a person with bad manners. 2．No, we shouldn’t. 3．Because beggars do this to ask for food. 4．A great gift. 5．How to use chopsticks. 【导语】本文主要介绍了使用筷子的一些规则和传统。 1．根据第二段中“Playing with chopsticks is seen as bad manners”可知，玩筷子会让人觉得你是一个没有礼貌的人。故填They may think I’m a person with bad manners. 2．根据第二段中“some people believe that chopsticks should not be left standing upright in a bowl.”可知，我们不应该让筷子直立在碗里。故填No, we shouldn’t. 3．根据第三段中“You should not tap chopsticks on the edge of the bowl either, as beggars（乞丐）do this to ask for food.”可知，因为乞丐这样做是为了讨饭。故填Because beggars do this to ask for food. 4．根据最后一段中“Chopsticks can also be a great gift.”可知，筷子也可以是很好的礼物。故填A great gift. 5．根据全文以及文章第一句“You may have already forgotten the days when you had to learn how to use chopsticks.”可知，本文主要介绍了使用筷子的一些规则和传统。故填How to use chopsticks. 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每个题目的答案不超过5个单词。 Xu Liqiang has spent more than 20 years saving wild animals and plants. His hard work has made a big difference. From 2009 to 2020, more than 1, 700 wild animals and 400 flowering plants were saved. “Though I’m nobody,” said Xu, “I have a big ‘green dream’.” Xu was born in a village in the western foothills of Laoshan Mountain. It’s a natural place for animals and birds. He started thinking about wildlife protection at an early age. He stopped his own job in 2017 and decided to follow his love for wildlife protection full-time. In 2018, Xu started the wildlife protection group in Qingdao. It’s the first of its kind in Shandong. Xu knows the power of one person is not enough. So he tries his best to encourage more people to join them. He sets up wildlife education bases for children and teenagers.

We don’t want our world to become one big landfill site (垃圾填埋场).” In Ireland, the government was very worried about plastic bags so they asked people to pay for them. Since 2002, Irish people have been paying for the bags they take home from the shops. Of course, they soon stopped buying new bags and started taking bags with them when shopping. Some countries have made even bigger changes. In 2006, the people of Zanzibar decided to stop making plastic bags. They were worried the bags were killing fish and sea animals. They also said that nobody could bring plastic bags into the country. So there were no plastic bags in the country soon. One of the most exciting recycling ideas is Freecycle. It has grown around the world. People join a Freecycle group because they are looking for things or have things that they want to give to other people. Perhaps they have a chair they do not need any more, or they want a camera. They leave a message on the Internet to tell people what they want or what they are going to give. Nobody buys or sells anything—people give things to other people who want them. It is a good idea because it recycles useful things. Recycling is important and sometimes it is exciting too.

Buses are often convenient（便利的）for the people who live or work in the city centre. Passengers can avoid heavy traffic and do not have to pay for the parking. However, taking the bus is just a necessary but boring part of life: They get on the bus, pay for it and sit down or find a place to stand when it is crowded. Everyone seems sad and bored. In Latin America, however, bus trips can be wonderful. For a start, films are showed on the buses between cities for passengers to have fun along the journeys. Local buses do not show films, but drivers usually turn on the radio and it can be great for passengers to listen to songs and get relaxed. Even better than films and music are the sights and sounds on the buses. Local buses always go to parts of the town that passengers would not visit by themselves. There passengers can see shops that they have never heard about. And they can also see other cultures of the town from the windows of the buses. Besides, passengers’ luggage（行李）is also interesting. It is common to see a happy dog’s head getting out of somebody’s bag or a lovely chicken “speaking cheerfully” under somebody’s arm. Once on a bus in Peru, a farmer even tied a sheep to the top of the bus. It was quite surprising. In all, taking the bus in Latin America is really fun and unforgettable. （每题答案不超过8个词） 1．How do passengers in the UK probably feel on the buses? 2．In Latin America, can people have fun on the buses between cities? 3．What are even better than films and music on the buses? 4．In Latin America, why is passengers’ luggage interesting? 5．What do you think of the bus trips in Latin America? Chaka Salt Lake is a salt lake in Qinghai, China. Lying at an altitude of about 3,100 meters, it covers an area of about 105 square kilometers. It is rich in salt, with a heavy salt bed close to the lake surface (表面), That makes the lake a main source (来源) of salt in our country. On a clear day, the lake offers the beautiful reflection (映像) of the blue sky. That is why people call it “sky mirror”. Because of its wonderful views, people see the lake as one of the “must-go” places in China. The beautiful sunrise and sunset views are the most attractive (吸引人的). Every July, large numbers of visitors begin to crowd into Chaka Salt Lake. And the situation usually lasts until the end of August. They just don’t want to miss the best time to go there. It is believed that with the summer breeze (微风), breathing in the salty air is especially good for health. If you want to go on a trip to the lake, the following tips may be helpful. ◆Do not eat the salt in the lake directly. ◆Wear sunglasses and a hat because of the strong sunshine. ◆You can’t stop taking photos, so you’d better take your camera with you. ◆Prepare some medicine for the weak and the elderly to deal with altitude sickness.

But the West Lake in Hangzhou is the most famous of them all. It lies in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province on the south-eastern coast. And the city is well known as a paradise in China. Thousands of years ago, the West Lake was connected to the sea. The Qiantang River is not far away from the West Lake. It enters the sea in the eastern part of the area. The sediment (沉积物) settled by the river finally blocked the connection between the West Lake and the sea, making it an inland water area. Since the 9th century A．D．, the beautiful scenery of the West Lake in all seasons has appeared in poems, stories and legends. It’s roughly estimated (估计) that there are about 630 legends of the West Lake alone. In 2011, West Lake Cultural Landscape of Hangzhou was included on the World Heritage List (世界遗产名录). It is visited by more and more international tourists. 1．How many lakes named “West Lake” are there in China? 2．Which city is the capital of Zhejiang Province? 3．When was the West Lake connected to the sea? 4．Where has the beautiful scenery of the West Lake in all seasons appeared? 5．In 2011, what was West Lake Cultural Landscape of Hangzhou included on? The Great Wall of China is called the “Ten Thousand Li Great Wall” in Chinese. In fact, it’s over 21,000 kilometres long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world. The Great Wall has a history of over 2,000 years. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period more walls were built to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. Later, the Qin dynasty united the different parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up. The Great Wall is wide enough on the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to watch enemies. They lit fires on the towers as a warning when the enemy came. It was very difficult to build such a wall in ancient times without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men. Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world. There’s a famous Chinese saying—He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．How long is the Great Wall of China? 2．When did people start to build the Great Wall? 3．When the enemy came, what did the soldiers do on the watchtowers? 4．How was the Great Wall built? 5．How do you understand “He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man.”? Many people enjoy going on holiday. It is a good time to relax, visit new places and see new things. But you should choose who you want to have a trip with. Having a trip with your family can be very cheap or free if your parents pay. But there are many arguments (争吵). For example, on our trip to Hawaii last year, we had different ideas about what to do. Dad always wants to go to a museum. Mom would like to stay in the hotel. My sister likes to shop for clothes. As for me, the coffee shop is the best place. It would be fun to have a trip with friends. It is a good way to have a better friendship. You can get to know more about your friends. You can become closer to each other. But when you have a trip with friends, you must do more different things than when you have a trip with your family. Also, money is always important. You may have different plans. There are also a lot of problems about what to eat and where to stay. There’s another way about who you have a trip with. That’s having a trip by yourself. If you have a trip by yourself, you might spend less money. You can choose what you want to do and eat. It’s easier for you to make new friends. Of course, having a trip by yourself is not always a good idea. Sometimes you might get bored. If you need to go to the washroom at the bus station or airport (机场), there is nobody to look after your things. 1．Why did the writer’s family have an argument on the trip to Hawaii? 2．Do you do fewer things if you have a trip with your friend? 3．What are the two problems when you have a trip by yourself? 4．How many ways of trip does the writer mention (提到)? 5．Who do you want to have a trip with? Why? The stories in The Ice Cream Machine have the same title, but they each have a different plot (情节) about the ice cream. One story is about a boy and his robot in the future. Another is about a father and a daughter who create an ice cream machine. My favourite story in the book is about two sisters, Pam and Penelope, who try to enter an ice-cream-eating competition. As well as the stories above, there are three more stories in the book. Its writer, Adam Rubin, has much experience when it comes to writing about food. His most famous children’s book is Dragons Love Tacos. “I like to write about food because it’s loved by people of all different cultures,” Rubin says. Rubin hopes The Ice Cream Machine inspires kids to write. Its jacket (书套) turns into an envelope in which readers can send him their stories. Rubin says writers should write about things they like. “If you’ re trying to write to please someone else, you might not get it right. Then no one is happy,” he says. I recommend The Ice Cream Machine to anyone who likes creative and funny story-telling. The book goes down just like ice cream: smooth, enjoyable and with a pleasant aftertaste. 1．How many stories are there in all in the book? 2．Why does Rubin write about food? 3．Do you think the book is worth (值得) reading? Why or why not? 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Sometimes a book comes along that isn’t just “interesting” or “well done” —it’s a book where it seems like the author looked into your brain and wrote a book specifically for you. A book like that for me was published this week. It’s called 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet, written by Pamela Paul. Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over: writing letters, print newspapers, the joys of being bored, and not having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket. I’m a fan of different knowledge, so certain things on the list—Being the Only One, finding Out Who That Actor is—hit me: remembering detailed facts is no longer a necessity when everyone has the ability to find the answer in seconds. On and on the list goes, more small things are added to the list. What this book does so well is that it’s a list of ways in which the world now is different from the world then. Clearly, Paul isn’t saying that everything back then was better. Time goes on, after all. And it’s difficult to argue against the many benefits that the Internet has brought into our lives. But that isn’t really the point. It’s not about whether it used to be better. It’s that it used to be different. 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet is a fun read for those of us who share some of Paul’s memories and experiences. We remember what it was like and we like to remember. The view has changed, and no doubt it will change again as technology’s advancement continues quickly. This book serves as a reminder of the simple truth that when gains are made, sometimes something is lost. 1．What’s the name of the book? 2．What things does Paul list in the book? 3．Why is the book a fun to read for us? 4．What do you think of the book? Why? 阅读短文简略回答问题 When two people meet, there are a lot of ways of greeting. The ways of greeting are not always the same in different countries. In America, two people usually greet each other with a handshake. It is a way to show respect (尊重) to the other person. Athletes (运动员) from opposite teams shake hands before a game for the same reason. However, most Americans don’t shake hands when they meet people they already know well. When American friends meet each other, they might only wave (挥手), or maybe just nod (点头) their heads. Kissing is sometimes used as a way to greet someone.

Every Chinese kid struggles with them for some time. But chopsticks are not just simple tools to pick up food. They come with their own special rules and traditions. Let’s learn the rules and traditions behind chopsticks. Generally, people should not make noise with chopsticks. Playing with chopsticks is seen as bad manners, just as playing with forks and knives in a Western country would be rude. There are also some superstitions（迷信 ） related to chopsticks. For example, some people believe that chopsticks should not be left standing upright in a bowl. It looks like the incense （香 ）that Chinese use to honor（祭奠 ）the dead. Doing it at the dinner table is believed to bring bad luck. You should not tap chopsticks on the edge of the bowl either, as beggars（乞丐）do this to ask for food. Parents might get angry if children do this as they don’t want their children to be as poor as beggars in the future. Chopsticks can also be a great gift. In Chinese, “chopsticks” are known as “kuaizi”, which means to have babies soon. Newlyweds（ 新 婚夫妇 ）sometimes receive chopsticks as a wedding gift. Skilled craftsmen（ 手艺人 ）paint beautiful images on chopsticks to make them look like fine artwork. 1．What do people think if you play with your chopsticks? 2．Should we leave chopsticks standing upright in a bowl? 3．Why shouldn’t you tap your chopsticks on the edge of the bowl? 4．What else are chopsticks used for, according to the last paragraph? 5．What is the story mainly about? 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每个题目的答案不超过5个单词。 Xu Liqiang has spent more than 20 years saving wild animals and plants.

We don’t want our world to become one big landfill site (垃圾填埋场).” In Ireland, the government was very worried about plastic bags so they asked people to pay for them. Since 2002, Irish people have been paying for the bags they take home from the shops. Of course, they soon stopped buying new bags and started taking bags with them when shopping. Some countries have made even bigger changes. In 2006, the people of Zanzibar decided to stop making plastic bags. They were worried the bags were killing fish and sea animals. They also said that nobody could bring plastic bags into the country. So there were no plastic bags in the country soon. One of the most exciting recycling ideas is Freecycle.
