Girl: Not for me. I didn't use to like tests. Now I don't worry about tests, but I really used to be very nervous about them. Boy: But the tests in primary school were easy!

I have difficulty in learning English.我学英语有困难。 【新题速递】-I’m Daisy, not Jessie. -Sorry, I have difficulty ______ people’s names.

What’s wrong with him？ -It’s said that he has a cold. A. nervous about B. thirsty for C. absent from D. worried about fail 在此处作动词，意为“不及格；失败”。 I failed (in) my exam again. 【拓展】fail to do sth.未能做某事 Many of them fail to realize that any success requires a long journey. (3) failure为fail的名词形式，意为“失败”时为不可数名词；意为“失败的人或事”时是可数名词。 Failure is the mother of success.

A. more B. only C. truly D. exactly 6.Now I understand that even though they are busy, they are always thinking of me.现在我懂得了，尽管他们很忙，但他们一直都挂念着我。 句子结构分析 本句结构比较复杂。首先，它是一个含有that引导的宾语从句的复合句，主句是Now I understand，在宾语从句中又含even though引导的让步状语队句，就是they are busy，主句是they are always thinking of me. even though的用法 用法分析 even though意为“尽管；即使；纵然”，引导让步状语从句，同义词组为even if，表示退一步设想，含有转折的意味。 尽管他失败了，但他仍然坚持他的梦想。Even though he failed, he still held on to his dreams. 【新题速递】（东营中考）WeChat Pay（微信支付）makes our life convenient. We can buy things ______ we don’t take any money. A. unless B. because C. even if D. so that 7.They take pride in everything good that I do.他们为我做的每一件好事而感到自豪。 句子结构分析 本句中的that I do是定语队句，修怖先行词everything。当everything做先行词时，关系代词只能用that，而不能用which，此句中的everything同时还被后置开形容词good修饰。 11 take pride in的用法（高频考点） 用法分析 take pride in意为“为……感到骄傲、自豪”，后接让人引以为傲的对象，相当于be proud of，意为“因……而自豪，为……感到骄傲”。pride是名词“骄傲”；proud是形容词“骄傲的”。 这位年轻妈妈因为她聪明的儿子而感到自豪。 The young mother took pride in her clever son. =The young mother was proud of her clever son. 固定搭配 （1）be proud to do sth.以做某事为自豪。 She is proud to be a member of this organization.她以属于这个组织而感到自豪。 （2）be the pride of是……的自豪、骄傲。 He is the pride of his parents.他是父母的骄傲。 【新题速递】选出与画线部分意思相同或相近的选项 We, Chinese people, are proud of the Great Wall.

Li has been interested in model planes since he was a child. Besides, he has been studying and building model planes for years. This time the model plane is the largest he has ever built and he considers it the most successful one. Throughout the process of building the plane, he came across many failures. “But the biggest difficulty I had was that the adults couldn't understand me well,” Li said. “When I said I was going to build a model plane, a lot of adults thought it was impossible. But I decided to keep on working hard. That is because once I start something, giving up is not a choice for me.” What's more, on May 1st, 2022, he took the “fire fighting drone” (消防无人机) to a test flight in the field of his hometown in Feixi County successfully.

They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner. In fact, it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes. Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Lily had to attend the art lesson and Lucy had to attend her ballet lesson. “How I wish I could do something different today,” said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Lily and Lucy at the same time. “Do you have the same idea as me?” they asked each other and laughed. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Lily put on Lucy’s ballet dress while Lucy put Lily’s brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes. When the art lesson started, Lucy couldn’t understand the art teacher. Unlike Lily, Lucy was poor at drawing. When the art lesson finally ended, Lucy didn’t dare to hand in her work. Meanwhile, Lily was struggling in the ballet class as well. As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly. As a result, she kept knocking into them. Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, “Lucy, you should remember the basic steps. You can’t depend on copying what others are doing.” When Lily and Lucy arrived home, they were tired out. They decided that they would never try to be someone else that they were not. 1. What was the twins’ plan? A. To have a day off. B. To be each other for a day. C. To wear the same clothes. D. To have a normal day like their classmates. 2. How did Lucy feel at the beginning of the art lesson? A. Lost. B. Excited. C. Mad. D. Sleepy. 3. What does the underlined word “them” refer to? A.

She helped in the city's nursing homes and special education schools. Since last year, Li has made short videos and posted them online. In the videos, she smiles and speaks confidently.

During the break time, Jessica said to him, “I bring my cute cats to school for show-and-tell, but don’t even think about touching them.” The four cats arrived in a box covered with a piece of screen. Everyone except Jared held them. After the show-and-tell, the children took out their maths books. Suddenly, Jessica cried, “Where are the kittens?” The box was empty.

When Jared passed the empty box, he saw cat treats. He then had an idea. He threw the treats on the floor. A cat came out. Jared waited until it was eating. Then another…Soon the other cats were eating. Jared gently put them in the box. Mrs. Thomas put a book on the screen so they couldn’t run away again. “Class, Jared helped the cats out,” Mrs. Thomas said.

According to a local report, Li just finished his high⁃school entrance exam a year ago and got good grades. After the exam, he threw himself into the work of making the model plane right away. Li has been interested in model planes since he was a child. Besides, he has been studying and building model planes for years. This time the model plane is the largest he has ever built and he considers it the most successful one. Throughout the process of building the plane, he came across many failures. “But the biggest difficulty I had was that the adults couldn't understand me well,” Li said. “When I said I was going to build a model plane, a lot of adults thought it was impossible. But I decided to keep on working hard. That is because once I start something, giving up is not a choice for me.” What's more, on May 1st, 2022, he took the “fire fighting drone” (消防无人机) to a test flight in the field of his hometown in Feixi County successfully. When talking about his future, he said he dreamed of becoming a plane engineer.(E9304003) 1.What's the weight of the model plane? A.About 4 kilograms.　　　 B.About 40 kilograms.

Lily and Lucy disliked Saturdays. That was another thing the twins had in common. They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner. In fact, it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes. Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Lily had to attend the art lesson and Lucy had to attend her ballet lesson. “How I wish I could do something different today,” said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Lily and Lucy at the same time. “Do you have the same idea as me?” they asked each other and laughed. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Lily put on Lucy’s ballet dress while Lucy put Lily’s brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes. When the art lesson started, Lucy couldn’t understand the art teacher. Unlike Lily, Lucy was poor at drawing. When the art lesson finally ended, Lucy didn’t dare to hand in her work.

I’m glad to share my story. That’s all. Thanks. Hello, everyone! I’m glad to share my story. Since entering junior high school, I have changed a lot. The biggest change is that I’m braver than I used to be. I was a shy girl and always hid myself behind my textbook to avoid being called by my teachers. But things changed on the first day of entering junior high school. That day, Miss Gao asked us to introduce ourselves. How terrible! When it was my turn, she encouraged me with her eyes. I picked up all my courage and completed my introduction. I saw Miss Gao smile. After that, I try to raise my hand to answer questions in class. And now, you see, I can speak in front of the class bravely. So I suggest that everyone should be active and brave in class and share your ideas. It’s a good way to check how well you understand what you are learning. Besides, it helps improve your communication with others. Hope everyone can change for the better. That’s all. Thanks.
