So, when learning a new language, you have to learn to move your mouth in a completely different way. ②But how do you do that? Try tongue twisters (绕口令)! A tongue twister is a sentence that’s difficult to read because it includes words that have similar sounds. Here’s an example: She sells seashells by the seashore. ③This one has a combination (结合) of /s/ and /∫/ sounds. It’s very difficult to say. The faster you go, the more difficult it is! ④Tongue twisters are not only a good way to add some fun to your language learning, but also a useful learning tool. Because tongue twisters usually focus on (聚焦于) one or two sounds, it’s easy to find which ones are hard for you to pronounce. Then you can choose tongue twisters that focus on those sounds. ⑤Besides, similar sounds can be difficult. To clearly pronounce them, you need to make very small changes in your mouth. Tongue twisters can help by making you repeat similar sounds one after another. This will help train your brain to remember the small mouth changes. ⑥Speaking with a partner is an important part of language learning, but it’s not always possible. The greatest thing about tongue twisters is that you don’t need a partner. Just choose the sounds you want to practice, and go for it! ⑦Here are some fun tongue twisters. To begin with, go slowly and then try to increase your speed. - Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. - Thank the other three brothers of their father’s mother’s brother’s side. - How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? ( ) 1. How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 4? A. By giving an example. B. By comparing facts. C. By listing numbers. D. By giving a reason. ( ) 2. What can we infer from the passage? A. Tongue twisters can help improve our speaking skills. B. Tongue twisters are difficult to read because all the sounds are similar to one another. C. A partner is necessary when practicing tongue twisters. D. When practicing tongue twisters, we can train our brain. ( ) 3. If you can’t pronounce /θ/ and /ð/ properly, which tongue twister can help you to practice them? A. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. B. Thank the other three brothers of their father’s mother’s brother’s side. C. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? D. She sells seashells by the seashore. ( ) 4. What’s the structure of the passage? A B C D B You may think English learning is such a challenge. One of the main reasons is that this language seems to have more words than any other language. Realizing that words are the basic unit of language, have you found better ways to remember them? Here are some ways. Learn by themes（主题） Creating lists of words related to common themes, such as friendship, family and science, will be much more interesting. In this way, words are given in logical（逻辑的）groups, which will help you understand and remember facts better. Learning system of word cards Here is a card system. On the front of the card, the following information is included. Learning System Example Kind be kind to sb. friendly, unkind And there is Chinese translation on the back of the card. With such a single card, a student can learn not just one word but groups of related words. Repeated meetings When you read, words stand a good chance of being remembered if they have been met at least seven times. So, reading English magazines and novels is often suggested as a way of building vocabulary. Learn by sounds In a study, students who read a sentence including new words aloud could remember words more easily than students who learned the words silently. So try to read aloud instead of keeping silent. People memorize things in different ways. Some memorize better with the help of pictures while others are helped more by sounds. But one thing is for sure. If you can put different kinds of memory methods together, there can be great results! 1. Why is learning English a challenge? _____________________________________________________________________ 2. How can you learn by themes according to the passage? _____________________________________________________________________ 3. How many times should the word have been met so that we can remember it well? _____________________________________________________________________ 4.

What’s your way of learning English? _____________________________________________________________________ 暑假第二讲 Unit 1 How can we become good learners?

C Festivals are celebrated all around the world. Every festival has its different customs. However, no matter how different they may seem, all over the world, the spirit of sharing joy, thanks, love, or peace is common in all festivals. Of all the traditional festivals, the harvest(丰收) festival can be found in almost every culture. People celebrate to show that they are thankful for the year’s food. In ancient Egypt, the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime — the Egyptian harvest season. It had a parade(游行) and a great large meal with music, dancing, and sports. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes. Customs play an important role in festivals, but sometimes they can change over time for different reasons. Let’s take Chinese Spring Festival for example. One custom is lighting fireworks to drive away the bad spirits and celebrate the new year. But now more and more people have realized that after lighting fireworks, the waste left behind always makes our neighborhood dirty and it may cause serious air pollution. Besides, fireworks can easily cause fires if they are not dealt with properly, and they can also lead to burns or even cause death. So many big cities are trying to give up this custom. More and more businesses are taking advantage of the celebrations of festivals. Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for people to spend more on gifts. Some believe festivals shouldn’t be used for business purposes(商业目的) , while others think the increase in spending is good for the economy(经济) . Festivals are an important part of society. They allow us to relax and enjoy life, and forget about our work for a little while. They help us understand where we came from, who we are, and what to thank for. 1. Do different festivals have the common spirit of sharing joy, thanks, love, or peace? ____________________________________________________________________ 2. How did Egyptian people celebrate their harvest festival? ____________________________________________________________________ 3. Why are many big cities trying to give up lighting fireworks according to the passage? ____________________________________________________________________ 4. Do you think the celebrations of festivals should be used for business purposes? Explain. ____________________________________________________________________ 暑假第五讲 Unit 3 Could you please tell me where the restrooms are? Section A 课文复现 Alice and He Wei were in Fun Times Park.

Here is an example: Shop keeper: “Here’s your change, ma’am.” Me: “Thank you.” Shop keeper: “No problem.” But to me, it is a problem. I want to be thanked for going to a shop. I don’t want this automatic (机械的) reply. “You are welcome” means “You are welcome to shop here; welcome for letting us help you.” When I hear “no problem”, what I think is: “You’re not helping me. I’ll go somewhere else next time.” There are other more annoying (恼人的) expressions, of course. But this one especially seems to just push people to one side. It seems to say, “I’ve taken care of you, so now leave me alone.” It seems to say that you are actually not “welcome”. It’s part of a whole, lazy culture. People don’t notice each other. People can’t be bothered (打搅). People sit close together in a coffee shop. But they don’t talk. They just look at their smartphones. If you ask one of these people to move their chair a little so you can sit down, they will reply, “No problem.” I don’t think that means “You’re welcome to join the table.” I think it means “No problem that you only bothered me a bit.” Lots of people think this expression is mainly used by younger people, much like “whatever”. But actually, “no problem” crosses generations (几代人). It’s taken hold in a way that fits almost every group of people. There is “no problem” wherever you go. Next time you’re about to say those two words, stop for a minute. Make eye contact (接触), and say with a smile, “You’re welcome.” Be a bit more polite? No problem. 根据语篇与任务要求，在空格处填上适当的短语或句子。 A _1__________ Way of Replying to “Thank you” The present situation of it Now, most people in different age groups always use it _2___________ “You are welcome”. _3____________ People become lazy and pay less attention to others around.

Sometimes you may get a few not - so - wanted gifts. The question now becomes — what to do with them? You can always give them away, or simply keep them in the hope of putting them to use some day. Or you can “regift” them to other people in need. ②The word “regift” first came into popular use from an American TV show “Seinfeld”, but the idea of regifting has been around much longer. “Regifting” means people give their unwanted gifts to someone else in need, or give them to charities (慈善组织). Is regifting acceptable? ③In a research, when gift - givers knew that their gifts were given to others, they said the act was pretty impolite. The study also found that those people think regifting is just as bad as throwing the gifts away. They think giving gifts to others is a tradition which could bring people together. The right and proper reply to a gift is to be thankful, whether you want it or not. ④To those people, it’s quite impolite to pass a gift on. What happens if the givers ask to see the things they carefully chose and gave you? You might hurt the givers’ feelings. However, a thing is only a waste if a person doesn’t change it into a useful one. What people should do is work out how to enjoy the gift and be thankful to the givers. ⑤Another research showed that more than 72% of the people regifted in the past and had plans to do so in the future. 52% of those said regifting was acceptable most of the time. After all, as long as the giver doesn’t mind or won’t find out, you can regift it. ⑥An unwelcome gift is just a waste. There’s a environment. To deal with the problem, regifting it to someone who will love it will be great. ( ) 1. The writer mainly develops his writing by ______. A. sharing opinions and facts B. telling stories C. listing numbers D. giving examples ( ) 2. The word “regift” first came into popular use from ______. A. a news report on TV B. an American TV show C. a discussion about festivals D. some research ( ) 3. From the passage, we can infer that ______. A. regifting means people give their unwanted gifts to others B. regifting has been a common action to most of the people C. people should keep the gift and be thankful to the giver D. regifting is the only way to deal with the environment problem ( ) 4. The structure of the passage is ______. B Being polite is an important social skill. It can help you make friends, succeed professionally and show respect. Greet people politely. You can be polite by offering a proper greeting. 1. ________. It shows that you are in good spirits and are happy to see him. Also, shake hands to show respect. Make small talks.

Near the door of a darkened shop a man was standing. As the cop walked toward him, the man spoke quickly. “It’s all right, officer,” he said. “I’m waiting for a friend. Twenty years ago we agreed to meet here tonight. We were best friends and grew up together here in New York, like two brothers. I was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty. The next morning, I was to start for the West. I thought New York was the only place on earth. We agreed that night that we would meet here again in twenty years.” “Interesting,” said the cop. “Have you heard from Jimmy since you went to the West?” “Yes,” said the man. “But after a year or two, we stopped. The West is big. I moved around everywhere and had the fight for my success. But I know that Jimmy will meet me here if he can. In New York a man doesn’t change much. So I came a thousand miles to stand here tonight.” The waiting man took out a fine watch. “Three minutes to ten,” he said. “It was ten that night when we said goodbye here.” “I’ll go on my way,” the cop said, “I hope your friend comes all right. If he isn’t here at ten, are you going to leave?” “I am not!” said the man. “I’ll wait half an hour, at least. If Jimmy is alive on earth, he’ll be here by that time. Goodbye, officer.” “Good - night,” said the cop, and walked away. About twenty minutes later, a tall man in a long coat came hurrying across the street. “Is that you, Bob?” he asked, doubtfully. “Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried the man at the door. “I never thought you were so tall.” “Oh, I grew a little after I was twenty.” The new man took the man’s hands in his. “It’s Bob! It surely is. Twenty years is a long time. Come on, Bob, let’s have a good talk about old times. ” The two men started along the street, arm in arm. At the corner stood a shop bright with electric lights. When they came near, each turned to look at the other’s face. The man from the West stopped suddenly and pulled his arm away. “You’re not Jimmy Wells,” he said. “No, I’m not. You’ve been under arrest (逮捕) for ten minutes, Bob. Now before we go on to the police station, here’s a note for you. You may read it here at the window.” Bob opened the little piece of paper. His hand began to shake a little as he read.

After Twenty Years B In 2015, US actress Brie Larson took home the Academy Award for Best Actress (奥斯卡最佳女主角奖) for her role in the movie Room. These days, the 36 - year - old is standing her ground as a superhero. Larson plays Carol Danvers, also known as Captain Marvel, in the movie of the same name. As a superhero, she has many superpowers, such as being able to fly as fast as the speed of light. When Larson was offered the role, she didn’t accept it in the beginning. “I am not a person with much confidence (自信). So, I needed a little bit of time to see if I could do it,” she said. She had no idea about how to play a superhero. There would be lots of promotional (推广) interviews. Facing all of these things, she decided to go out of her comfort zone (舒适区). “I was going to push myself to do things that I never thought I could do. I challenged myself,” she said. Larson trained for nine months. She learned kung fu, practiced weightlifting and so on. But the biggest challenge was that she had to work with a cat — an animal that she was afraid of. “I was sick the whole time, but I insisted (坚持) on working with it by myself. I was fine.” The movie has become a huge success. Variety Magazine spoke highly of her acting. By playing Captain Marvel, Larson discovered her own weaknesses and managed (努力完成) to get over them, making herself strong and powerful. 根据文章内容，填写信息（不超过3个词） Notes: Brie Larson and her latest movie The name of the movie: Captain Marvel _1____________: Carol Danvers Abilities: She can fly at the speed of light.

They may never see you again, so why do you care what others think of you? B In early days of history, being a good neighbor was very important. Neighbors helped one another build houses, and clear fields. Families depended on one another for friendship and entertainment. But today in our cities and suburbs, friendly relationship between neighbors is not common. A family may not even know the other families that live next door to them. We live in an age of machines, and each family may have its own car, TV set, and washing machine. People no longer depend on neighbors as much as they once did. Machines keep people apart in other ways. In our grandparents’ time, women met while they hung out the washing, and men stopped and talked while they mowed the lawns. Today, they cannot hear anything above the noise of their power lawn mowers. And women stay inside with their electrical dryers, which help dry their clothes. Children are inside watching their favorite TV shows. Is the idea of being a good neighbor old-fashioned? In 1965, a power cut hit New York City, and many thousands of people were left helpless. Suddenly, everyone shared the same problem, and the largest city became a group of eight million neighbors. People with cars offered rides to those walking. Other people helped direct traffic. In elevators, people played word games and helped cheer each other up. In times of trouble, people still depend on one another. As time goes on, people may once again feel that being a good neighbor is important. 1.

It has finally received top-level global recognition (认可) as a shared cultural treasure of our humans. On November 29, 2022, traditional tea processing techniques (工艺) and their related social customs in China were added to UNESCO’s Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (联合国教科文组织人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录). Following “Wangchuan Ceremony (送王船)” in 2020, this project (项目) is the 43rd one to be successfully added to the list and there are 44 sub-projects in total belonging to this main project. Chinese tea culture began as early as over 5,000 years ago. It’s said the ruler Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink by accident. But during the Three-Kingdom Period, people paid more attention to its medical value. In the Tang Dynasty, tea-tasting became an important part for poets’ life. Bai Juyi wrote 64 poems about tea in his lifetime. According to UNESCO, in China, traditional tea processing techniques are closely connected to location and natural environment. The area of tea planting in China is about between 18°-37° N and 94°-122° E. Tea-related customs are not only found across the country, but also influenced the rest of the world through the ancient Silk Road. In western countries, tea first became popular in Britain in the 17th century, and then the whole of Europe. When it came to the late 18th and 19th centuries, 10% of a British person’s income (收入) at the time was spent on tea, making it one of the most important expensive goods. ( ) 1. Which city is the most impossible to grow tea in the map of China? A. A B. B C. C D. D ( ) 2. Who might spend 10% of the income buying tea according to the passage? A. Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) B. Defoe (1660 - 1731) C. Dickens (1812 - 1870) D. Orwell (1903 - 1950) ( ) 3. Which of the following statements is true? A. One project of China can be added to the list every year. B. Tea was used as a kind of medicine when Shen Nong discovered it. C. In total, there are 44 projects from China on the list now. D. Tea travelled to the west by the Silk Road in ancient times. ( ) 4. Which book can you possibly read the passage in? A. Big Ceremony. B. Western Culture. C. Accidental Invention. D. Travelling in China. B Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. In 2022, things related to tea were added to the UNESCO’s ICH (非物质文化遗产) list. Three things include knowledge, skills and social practices (习俗) about planting tea, picking tea leaves, making tea by hand, and drinking and sharing tea. The traditional technology is mainly found in provinces such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Fujian and Hunan. However, the social practices of tea spread around the country.

Electricity, transportation mediums, medical services, telephone, television, Internet — everything is because of the development of science and has successfully made our lives easier. One of the earliest inventions was fire. It allowed early humans to cook food and stay warm during cold nights. As time passed, people created new tools such as the wheel that made farming more efficient. During the Industrial Revolution (工业革命) in the 19th century, machines were developed, and that changed the face of industry forever. The invention of steam (蒸汽) power led to new forms of transportation such as trains and ships. Soon, factories appeared all over the world. In the 20th century, electricity changed our lives once again. Inventions like light bulbs, telephones, and radios became commonplace in households worldwide. Later on, computers were invented to help us deal with information at a high speed. Today’s inventions like smartphones, electric cars and more recently robots are everywhere. They have revolutionized (革命性改变) communication and made it easier for us to get information quickly from anywhere in the world. Inventions not only help us in our daily lives but also have wide influences on society as a whole. Medicine and medical technology have made us live longer while space exploration has made us learn about more knowledge of the universe we live in. Technology continues to develop rapidly with new discoveries every day. Though there is no telling what new inventions will come next, we believe that there will be more new ideas and inventions to create a better world. ( ) 1.【写作手法】How does the writer lead in the topic?

The festival was set up for people with poor sight (视力). Now, guide dogs also help them. In China, there are more than 17 million poor-sighted people, but only about 400 guide dogs. Luckily, help will come soon from a robot guide dog. The robot is named Xiaojiao. It was developed by a team of scientists at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The robot is about the size of an English bulldog, but a little wider. It has six legs and walks very stably (稳定地). Xiaojiao uses AI to plan routes (路线) and recognize (识别) traffic lights. It can remember routes once it learns them. The robot can walk up to three meters every second. A cane is connected to its body. Its owner can push the cane forward to make the robot go faster. When the owner pulls the cane back, the robot slows down. Xiaojiao can recognize words, so it can listen to and talk to its owner. It can reply to the person in one second. Also it gets the words right 90 percent of the time. Since Xiaojiao is a robot dog, it may be allowed to go into more places than real dogs. And unlike real dogs, Xiaojiao saves time and money for users because people don't need to raise or train it. What's more, the scientists will produce this robot in large numbers, so the price will be lower, said Gao Feng. He is the head of the team. They will produce a number of trial (测试) robot dogs by the end of this year. 根据语篇与任务要求，在空格处填上适当的短语或句子。 Robot Guide Dog for Poor-sighted People Present situation Over 17 million people in China have eyesight problems, but 1____________ available is only about 400.
