I come from Cuba(古巴), but recently I moved to China. I started a new school life here. It was a big change for me because the school life in China is quite 1 (difference) from that in Cuba. School in China starts at 8:00 a.m. and 2 (end) at 4:50 p.m. The new school is much 3 (good) than my old school in Cuba, such as it is bigger and more beautiful than my old one. I thought that I might be lost in the first week. Luckily, my new classmate Zhang Bin is very 4 (friend). He 5 (offer) to show me around the school when we are free. In China, we don't have so much homework to do every day. If I listen to the teachers 6 (care), I can finish my homework quickly. 7 (keep) healthy, our school provides us with sports instruments to exercise, so we can spend our free time 8 (play) ping - pong, basketball or running. Sometimes we like to listen to pop music and watch videos at home. Time flies so quickly 9 I have been in the new school for two months. I get many students' help. I start enjoying my school life here. I am always 10 (have) so much fun! 七、阅读理解。 In Western society，especially in the English﹣speaking world，the chance for young people to see the other countries and experience life is considered important. Many young people，when they finish school at the age of 18，take a gap year before they go to university. Parents often want their children to grow up a little and see what the real world is like when they finish school. Although they are worried about their safety，many think that the advantages of independence and experience are worth the worries. Children are encouraged to be brave，independent and to explore the world on their own or with friends. Young people also want to experience freedom and see what life is like on the other side. This other side could be the other side of the world or just the other side of life. For example，if they have a rich life，they may want to see how people in poor areas live. A gap year after school is also an important chance for young people to spend time thinking about what they want to do with their lives. A little bit of growing up and experience will help them make their important career decisions，especially when they are unsure about what they want to study. Another reason for going straight after school is to get a break from studying before they start the next few years of university. So anywhere you travel in the world，you will meet young European people exploring the world. So much of the world has been travelled and explored. The young people are now looking for more worthy experiences. Some of them work as volunteers to do something for the country they are visiting. Many gap year volunteers are now spending a few months teaching English in Thailand，helping feed giant pandas in China or building a well（井） in a village in Africa. These young people's wish to explore the world is an expression of the values of the societies that they are part of. Both discovering the world and making a positive difference in it are important parts of the Western mind. （1）Which is NOT a reason for young people to take a gap year？ 　 　 A．Young people want to take a break from studying. B．Young people want to be sure about what to study. C．Parents encourage them to be brave and independent. D．Parents encourage them to live a free and wealthy life. （2）Now a gap year volunteer might do something more valuable like 　 　 . A．experiencing different cultures B．helping protect rainforests in Brazil C．making friends with more people D．enjoying traditional local food （3）By taking a gap year，young people may 　 　 . A．stay with their parents all the time B．make money for their further study C．help change the world for the better D．change the Western mind completely （4）The purpose of writing this article is to 　 　 . A．show different opinions about gap year B．offer readers information about gap year C．discover new ways to take a gap year D．tell young people when to take a gap year Part 1: Read and Explore What time does your school start？Do you wish you could get up later every morning？You are not alone if your answer is "Yes." In the US，many middle school students have the same wish. In America，many schools start before 7：30 am. But that may change soon. A new law has been passed in California. According to the law，middle schools should not start before 8：00 am. The government hopes school children will have longer time in bed. Many scientific studies show that teenagers are more active in the afternoon and in the evening. Simply telling them to go to bed earlier doesn't work well. Most of them don't get enough sleep because of bad sleeping habits and early school starting time. They need more sleep in the morning. Scientists suggest middle schools should start at 8：00 am. or later. Students can get well ready to learn and they won't fall asleep in class. They will pay more attention to classes. The change can help improve students' grades. While scientists are happy with the new law，many parents disagree with it. They won't be able to send their children to school before they go to work. They also fear that later school starting time will lead to later ending time. As a result，their children will have less time to take part in after﹣school activities. It's good news that Chinese education experts have noticed the problem and made some rules about that. So what's your opinion？Do you expect China to pass a similar law？ Part 2: Skills Challenge Task 1: Critical Thinking（批判性思维） 1. Why is the new law in California important for middle school students? (Use "because" to answer) （提示：从文中“have longer time in bed”和“get enough sleep”分析法律的目的） 2. List TWO reasons why many parents disagree with the new law. Reason 1: ____________________________________________________________ Reason 2: ____________________________________________________________ 3. Design an English slogan to encourage better sleep habits for students. “______________________________! Early to bed, ready to shine!” Task 2: Complete the Chart（信息整合） Task 3: Creative Project（创新应用） As a school leader, design a "Better Sleep Plan" for your school. - Include 2 actions from the text: ① ______________________________________ (e.g., Follow a later start time) ② ______________________________________ (e.g., Educate students about good sleeping habits) - Add 1 creative idea: ______________________________________ (e.g., Make a "Sleep Challenge" calendar for students) - Explain briefly in English: We will ____________________ and ____________________. Also, we plan to ____________________ to help students develop healthy sleep routines. Task 4: Vocabulary & Inference（词汇与推理） 1. What does "active" mean in the sentence "teenagers are more active in the afternoon"? A. Energetic B. Sleepy C. Quiet D. Bored 2. Why do scientists think later school start times can improve students' grades? （提示：从“get enough sleep”和“pay more attention in class”推导逻辑关系） ( 1 / 7 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 2 School life 课时1 Reading 1 分层作业 核心知识速记 03拓展培优 01基础达标 05思维进阶 02能力提升 ( 词汇 1. few / fju ː/ det. & adj. 不多，很少； pron. 很少人（或事物、地方） 2. drama /ˈdr ɑ ː mə / n. 戏剧；戏，剧 3. foreign /ˈ fɒrən / adj. 外国的 4. French / frentʃ / n. 法语；法国人 5. German /ˈ dʒɜːmən / n. 德语；德国人 6. forward /ˈ fɔːwəd / adv. 向前 7. go / ɡ əʊ / n. 尝试 8. earthquake /ˈɜː θ kweɪk / n. 地震 9. offer /ˈ ɒfə (r)/ vt. 提供 10.  programme /ˈ prəʊ ɡ ræm / n. （ AmE program ）课程；计划；节目 11. plenty /ˈ plenti / pron. 大量 12. hands - on /ˌ h æ ndz ˈ ɒn / adj. 实际操作的 13. attention / əˈtenʃn / n. 注意，专心，注意力 14. aware / əˈweə (r)/ adj. 意识到，知道 15. importance / ɪmˈpɔːtns / n. 重要性 16. Japanese /ˌ dʒæpəˈniːz / adj. 日本（人）的，日语的 17. carefully /ˈ keəfəli / adv. 仔细地；小心地 18. ourselves /ˌ aʊəˈselvz / pron. 我们自己 19. develop / dɪˈveləp / vt. 形成； vt. & vi. （使）发展 20. junior /ˈ dʒuːniə (r)/ adj. 初级的；青少年的 21. rocket /ˈ rɒkɪt / n. 火箭 22. blog / blɒ ɡ / n. 博客；网志 句型 1. Our school is small, so we have fewer students and smaller classes than most schools. 我们学校小，因此相比大多数学校，我们的学生人数较少，班级规模较小。 2. To us, learning Chinese may not be as simple as learning French or German ， but I am looking forward to having a go . 对于我们而言，学习汉语可能不像学习法语或德语那么简单，但是我期待试一试。 3. Our school offers different safety programmes to teach us how to survive in the face of danger . 我们学校提供不同的安全课程，教会我们面对危险时如何生存下来。 ) 一、单词默写。 1. ____________ /fjuː/ det. & adj. 不多，很少 2. ____________ /ˈdrɑːmə/ n. 戏剧；戏，剧 3. ____________ /ˈfɒrən/ adj. 外国的 4. ____________ /frentʃ/ n. 法语；法国人 5. ____________ /ˈdʒɜːmən/ n. 德语；德国人 6. ____________ /ˈfɔːwəd/ adv. 向前 7. ____________ /ɡəʊ/ n. 尝试 8. ____________ /ˈɜːθkweɪk/ n. 地震 9. ____________ /ˈɒfə(r)/ vt. 提供 10. ____________ /ˈprəʊɡræm/ n. 课程；计划；节目 11. ____________ /ˈplenti/ pron. 大量 12. ____________ /ˌhændz ˈɒn/ adj. 实际操作的 13. ____________ /əˈtenʃn/ n. 注意，专心，注意力14. ____________ /əˈweə(r)/ adj. 意识到，知道 15. ____________ /ɪmˈpɔːtns/ n. 重要性 16. ____________ /ˌdʒæpəˈniːz/ adj. 日本的，日语的 17. ____________ /ˈkeəfəli/ adv. 仔细地；小心地 18. ____________ /ˌaʊəˈselvz/ pron. 我们自己 19. ____________ /dɪˈveləp/ vt. 形成 20. ____________ /ˈdʒuːniə(r)/ adj. 初级的；青少年的 21. ____________ /ˈrɒkɪt/ n. 火箭 22. ____________ /blɒɡ/ n. 博客；网志 【答案】few,drama,foreign,French,German,forward,go,earthquake,offer,programme,plenty,hands - on,attention,aware,importance,Japanese,carefully,ourselves,develop,junior,rocket,blog 二、词组默写。 1. 期待_______________________ 2.  尝试_______________________ 3. 大量_______________________ 4.  注意_______________________ 5.  意识到_______________________ 6. 和……一样……_______________________ 7. 时光飞逝_______________________ 8. 面对危险_______________________ 9. 独自_______________________ 10. 保持安全_______________________ 【答案】1. look forward to 2. have a go 3. plenty of 4. pay attention to 5. be aware of 6. as…as… 7. time flies 8. in the face of danger 9. by oneself 10. stay safe 三、根据要求完成句子 1. 我们学校小，因此相比大多数学校，我们的学生人数较少，班级规模较小。 Our school is small, so we have ______ ______ and ______ ______ than most schools. 2. 对于我们而言，学习汉语可能不像学习法语或德语那么简单，但是我期待试一试。 To us, learning Chinese may not be ______ ______ ______ learning French or German, but I am ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______. 3. 我们学校提供不同的安全课程，教会我们面对危险时如何生存下来。 Our school offers different ______ ______ to teach us how to survive ______ ______ ______ ______ danger. 【答案】1. fewer students; smaller classes 2. as easy as; looking forward to having a go 3. safety programmes; when we are in 四 、用括号内所给词的适当形式填空。 1.World Health Day is used to highlight (强调) the ______________ (important) of personal health. 2.

In the US，many middle school students have the same wish. In America，many schools start before 7：30 am. But that may change soon. A new law has been passed in California.

Why do scientists think later school start times can improve students' grades? （提示：从“get enough sleep”和“pay more attention in class”推导逻辑关系） 【答案】 Task 1: Critical Thinking（批判性思维） 1. Because it allows middle school students to have longer time in bed and get enough sleep. 2. Reason 1: Parents can’t send their children to school before going to work. Reason 2: Later ending time reduces after-school activities. 3. “Sleep well, study smart!
