As soon as the number left my mouth, the whole class started laughing. I felt I was the silliest person in the world. But Mrs. Cooper looked at the whole class seriously and said, “We’re all here to learn.” One day, Mrs. Cooper asked us to write a report about what we hoped to be in the future. I wrote, “I want to be a teacher like Mrs. Cooper.” She wrote on my report, “You have a strong mind and you try hard. You’ll be a great teacher.” After I got married, I began to work as a cleaner. I cleaned seventeen classrooms each day, including Mrs. Cooper’s. I would tell Mrs. Cooper that I wanted to teach, and I would repeat the words she had written on my report earlier. I started to attend college classes in the morning before work. After seven years of my hard work, my dream finally came true.

In China, a popular mobile app called Xiaohongshu now has many more posts (帖子) about city walks. In fact, there are now seven times more posts about it than there were before! The “city walk” came from the UK and it’s quite different from a traditional trip. When you go on a city walk, you are not dashing to see famous places like the Great Wall or the Forbidden City. Instead, you can take your time to go around the city slowly on foot, enjoy the local ways and traditions, and find cool things you might not notice in the past. A city walk takes you away from the busy tourist places and shopping centres. You can walk into a local street, meet the people of the city and see how they live there. For example, you can see an elderly man playing chess in the park or a group of children playing football on a street corner. What’s more, you can try food at small but real restaurants, and learn more about the city’s history. People who enjoy city walks are curious and love to explore (探索) a city by walking. In this way, they can really feel and understand the city better. For example, if you take a walk in Chongqing, you can enjoy the beautiful hills that the city is famous for. In Beijing, you can walk through the historic hutongs. You can see the everyday life of the locals and enjoy the buildings. Young people like the “city walk” better. They want to enjoy their free time and learn new things, even if they’re busy. Walking is a fun way to be alone with your thoughts and it’s good for your health. Like someone famous once said, “Loving yourself is the start of a happy life.” The “city walk” is a good way to start the trip by finding fun in exploring. 18．The “City Walk” is not the same as a traditional trip, is it?. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 19．What can people do when they go on a city walk? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 20．What do you think of city walkers? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 21．Why do young people like the “City Walk” better? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 22．Do you like the “City Walk”?

Passage 3 （24-25七上·上海建平实验中学·期中） As a child, Alain Robert was afraid of heights. One day, when he was 12, he returned home from school. At the front door of his building, he looked for his keys. He didn’t have them. It was 3:30, and his parents worked until 6:00 p.m. Robert looked at his apartment on the eighth floor. He saw an open window. He closed his eyes and pictured himself climbing the building. When he opened his eyes, he told himself, “I can do it.” A quarter of an hour later, he was in his house, and his fear of heights was gone.

Alain says in an interview, “We set ourselves limits, but we are all strong enough to aim higher, to achieve our goals.

Passage 5 （24-25七上·上海浦东新区多校联考·期中） WHITE CANE SAFETY DAY (国际盲人节) falls on October 15 every year. The festival was set up for visually impaired (视力受损的) people. Besides canes (手杖), guide dogs also help the visually impaired. In China, there are more than 17 million visually impaired 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. Xiaojiao uses AI to plan routes and recognize traffic lights. It can remember routes once it learns them. The robot can walk up to three meters per 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 and talk to its owner. It can respond to the person in less than one second, and it gets the words right 90 percent of the time. Since Xiaojiao is a robot dog, it may be allowed into more places than real dogs. And unlike real dogs. Xiaojiao doesn’t need to be raised or trained. This saves users’ time and money. 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 robot dogs by the end of this years. 38．How many visually impaired people are there in China? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 39．Is Xiaojiao a little wider or a little taller than an English bulldog? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 40．Who helps Xiaojiao plan routes and recognize traffic lights? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41．How will Xiaojiao go faster? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42．How fast can Xiaojiao respond to the person? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42．Xiaojiao doesn’t need to be raised or trained, does it? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42．Is Xiaojiao better than a real guide dog?

Because it may be allowed into more places than real dogs and doesn’t need to be raised or trained, which saves users’ time and money. 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25七上·上海浦东新区·期中） The cowboy is the hero of many movies. He is, even today, a symbol (标志) of courage and adventure. But what was the life of the cowboy really like? The cowboy’s job is clear from the word cowboy. Cowboys were men who took care of cows and other cattle (牛). The cattle were in the West and in Texas. People in the cities of the East wanted beef from these cattle. Trains could take the cattle east. But first the cattle had to get to the train. Part of the cowboy’s job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad towns in the West. The trips were called “cattle drives”. A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day. Because they rode so much, each cowboy brought along about eight horses in a cattle drive. A cowboy changed horses several times each day. Cowboys had to make sure that the cattle arrived safely. Before starting on a drive, they burned a mark (记号) on the cattle to show who they belonged to (属于). But these marks didn’t stop thieves and robbers. Cowboys had to protect the cattle from them.

The first day was OK because I was at school, so there was no need for electronics anyway. But that evening, after I’ve done my homework, I felt a little lost. I missed being in touch with my friends. I didn’t know what else to do to kill time. The next day at school, I heard other people talking about a video they had seen on YouTube. They were laughing and joking, but I could not take part in the conversation because I hadn’t seen it. That evening I spend the usual amount of time doing my homework, but instead of checking on my phone. I read a really good book I was recommended to read. With no message coming in, I was able to give it all my attention. On Thursday I played football straight after school. When I got home, I felt really relaxed. I even took up something which I always wanted to do: Playing the guitar! Well, I was not proud of music that came out of my instrument, but I didn’t really think about using my phone. The rest of the week went on more smoothly than I had thought. When I finally got my phone and laptop back, I didn’t turn them on at once. I missed them, but not too much.

Every day, she helped her parents and played with her little brother. One day, a messenger arrived with an order from the emperor. Every family must send one man to join the army and fight in a big war far away. Mulan’s father was old and sick, and her brother was just a child. Mulan didn’t want her father to go to war because it was very dangerous. So, Mulan came up with a brave idea. She decided to dress like a man and joined the army in her father’s place. She said goodbye to her family and left the village with a heavy heart. In the army, Mulan had to keep her true identity (身份) a secret. In the past, women are not allowed in the campsite. She also had to train very hard to keep up with the men. They might naturally be stronger or more experienced. Every day was tough, but she never complained. During a big battle, Mulan thought of a clever plan. She told the other soldiers to lead the enemy to a narrow valley. Then, when the enemy was trapped, Mulan and her friends attacked and won the battle. The war finally ended, and Mulan was a hero. The emperor wanted to give her a lot of money and a high position in the army, but Mulan just wanted to go home. When she returned to her village, her family was waiting for her with a big smile. They were so proud of her. Mulan changed back into her girl’s clothes and was happy to be home. From that day on, Mulan’s story spread far and wide. She showed everyone that courage and love for family can make anyone a hero. 12．Who gave the order that every family must send one man to the war, the messenger or the emperor? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 13．How did Mulan join the army? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 14．Why was it tough for Mulan to be in the army? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 15．Mulan didn’t accept the emperor’s offer after winning the battle, did she? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 16．How did Mulan’s family feel when she came back home? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 17．What do you think of Hua Mulan?

In China, a popular mobile app called Xiaohongshu now has many more posts (帖子) about city walks. In fact, there are now seven times more posts about it than there were before! The “city walk” came from the UK and it’s quite different from a traditional trip. When you go on a city walk, you are not dashing to see famous places like the Great Wall or the Forbidden City. Instead, you can take your time to go around the city slowly on foot, enjoy the local ways and traditions, and find cool things you might not notice in the past. A city walk takes you away from the busy tourist places and shopping centres. You can walk into a local street, meet the people of the city and see how they live there. For example, you can see an elderly man playing chess in the park or a group of children playing football on a street corner. What’s more, you can try food at small but real restaurants, and learn more about the city’s history. People who enjoy city walks are curious and love to explore (探索) a city by walking. In this way, they can really feel and understand the city better. For example, if you take a walk in Chongqing, you can enjoy the beautiful hills that the city is famous for. In Beijing, you can walk through the historic hutongs. You can see the everyday life of the locals and enjoy the buildings. Young people like the “city walk” better. They want to enjoy their free time and learn new things, even if they’re busy. Walking is a fun way to be alone with your thoughts and it’s good for your health. Like someone famous once said, “Loving yourself is the start of a happy life.” The “city walk” is a good way to start the trip by finding fun in exploring. 18．The “City Walk” is not the same as a traditional trip, is it?. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 19．What can people do when they go on a city walk? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 20．What do you think of city walkers? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 21．Why do young people like the “City Walk” better? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 22．Do you like the “City Walk”?

However, his Olympic dreams were far from over. He became the guide runner for Libby Clegg, a visually impaired (视觉障碍) runner. Libby had already won two silver medals at the Paralympics (残奥会) in the 100-meter T12 class. Visually impaired runners race with a guide. The guide helps them find the way by using a rope at the wrist (手腕) or hand. The role of the guide is very important. During the race, the guide tells the runner many things, such as how far along they are on the track. To be a good guide, Chris had to learn to run like Libby. For example, he needed to change his way and speed of running. After two months of training, they started to work well together. Soon after, however, Libby’s eyes got worse. So she had to wear an eye mask during races. To get used to this, the two trained even harder. Finally, the Paralympic Games came. Libby and Chris won gold medals in the 100 and 200 meters! Chris said being a guide for Libby was the “coolest thing” he had ever done. “It felt so good to help Libby make her dreams come true!” he said. 23．Chris’s Olympic dreams were over, weren’t they? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 24．Whose guide runner is Chris? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 25．How does Chris be a good guide runner? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 26．Why was it cool for Chris to be a guide runner? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 27．What is the best title for the passage? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 3 （24-25七上·上海建平实验中学·期中） As a child, Alain Robert was afraid of heights. One day, when he was 12, he returned home from school. At the front door of his building, he looked for his keys. He didn’t have them. It was 3:30, and his parents worked until 6:00 p.m. Robert looked at his apartment on the eighth floor. He saw an open window. He closed his eyes and pictured himself climbing the building. When he opened his eyes, he told himself, “I can do it.” A quarter of an hour later, he was in his house, and his fear of heights was gone. Today, Robert (known as the French Spiderman) still climbs buildings. In 2004, he climbed Taipei 101(the tallest building in the world at the time), and in 2011 he climbed the Burj Khalifa Tower in Dubai. To reach the top of a building, Robert usually uses only his hands and special shoes. To climb the Burj Khalifa Tower, though, he was made to wear safety ropes. Robert climbs as a hobby. He also does it to make money for charity (for children and the homeless). Climbing is his passion. Although many climbing accidents have left him seriously disabled, he has become one of the best solo climbers in the world. Alain says in an interview, “We set ourselves limits, but we are all strong enough to aim higher, to achieve our goals. All we have to do is find such strength within ourselves.” When Robert climbs, he wants to send a message to people. If you have a dream—something you really want to do—it can become real. But you must be brave and keep trying. If something bad happens, don’t give up. Close your eyes and tell yourself, “I can do it.” 28．Alain Robert is afraid of heights, isn’t he? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 29．How did Robert enter his apartment on the eighth floor one day? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 30．What did Robert use when he climbed the Burj Khalifa Tower? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 31．Why does Alain Robert climb? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 32．If something bad happens, what is Robert’s advice? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 33．What makes Alain Robert one of the best solo climbers in the world?

After it happened, a father rushed to his son’s school, but only to discover that all the buildings fell down. The father remembered his promise to his son: “No matter what happened, I’ll always be there for you!” With tears in his eyes, he started to dig (挖) through the ruins (废墟). As he was digging, other parents tried to stop him, saying, “It’s too late. They’re all gone.” The father asked, “Will you help me now?” But no one answered, so he kept digging alone. Firefighters and police came, telling him it was dangerous, but he asked, “Will you help me now?” No one helped, so he dug alone. He dug for 8 hours…12 hours…24 hours…36 hours…then, after 38 hours’ digging, he pulled back a large stone and heard his son’s voice. He screamed his son’s name, “TOM!” He heard back, “Dad!?! It’s me, Dad! And other 14 kids here. I told them not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, you’d save me. And when you saved me, they’d be saved.” “Come out, my boy!” “No, Dad! Let the other kids out first, because I know you’ll get me!

The festival was set up for visually impaired (视力受损的) people. Besides canes (手杖), guide dogs also help the visually impaired. In China, there are more than 17 million visually impaired 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. Xiaojiao uses AI to plan routes and recognize traffic lights. It can remember routes once it learns them. The robot can walk up to three meters per 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 and talk to its owner. It can respond to the person in less than one second, and it gets the words right 90 percent of the time. Since Xiaojiao is a robot dog, it may be allowed into more places than real dogs. And unlike real dogs. Xiaojiao doesn’t need to be raised or trained. This saves users’ time and money. 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 robot dogs by the end of this years. 38．How many visually impaired people are there in China? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 39．Is Xiaojiao a little wider or a little taller than an English bulldog? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 40．Who helps Xiaojiao plan routes and recognize traffic lights? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41．How will Xiaojiao go faster? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42．How fast can Xiaojiao respond to the person? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42．Xiaojiao doesn’t need to be raised or trained, does it? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42．Is Xiaojiao better than a real guide dog?

He is, even today, a symbol (标志) of courage and adventure. But what was the life of the cowboy really like? The cowboy’s job is clear from the word cowboy. Cowboys were men who took care of cows and other cattle (牛). The cattle were in the West and in Texas. People in the cities of the East wanted beef from these cattle. Trains could take the cattle east. But first the cattle had to get to the train. Part of the cowboy’s job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad towns in the West. The trips were called “cattle drives”. A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day. Because they rode so much, each cowboy brought along about eight horses in a cattle drive. A cowboy changed horses several times each day. Cowboys had to make sure that the cattle arrived safely. Before starting on a drive, they burned a mark (记号) on the cattle to show who they belonged to (属于). But these marks didn’t stop thieves and robbers. Cowboys had to protect the cattle from them. Thieves made the dangerous trip even more dangerous. Although their work was difficult and dangerous, cowboys did not earn much money. They were paid badly. Yet cowboys liked their ways of life. They lived in the wild and open country. They lived a life of adventure and freedom. 45．Did cowboys take care of cows and other cattle? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 46．How long did a cattle drive usually take? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 47．How many horses did each cowboy bring along in a cattle drive? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 48．Why did cowboys burn a mark on the cattle? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 49．Do you want to be a cowboy?

He is best known for his invention of movable type printing, which changed the way books were made. Before Bi Sheng’s invention, books were copied by band, which took a lot of time. Bi Sheng’s movable type printing involved creating individual characters out of clay. Once the text was set, ink was applied, and a piece of paper was pressed onto the characters to move the ink onto the paper, creating a printed page. This invention made painting much faster. It also reduced the cost of producing books. Bi Sheng’s movable type printing paved the way for modern printing technology and had a deep influence on the spread of knowledge and culture. Bi Sheng’s invention was not only important for China but also for the world. His method of printing was later adopted by other countries, contributing to the development of global literacy and education. 61．Bi Sheng invented movable type printing, didn’t he? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 62．Before movable type printing, how were books made? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 63．What kind of material was used to create individual characters? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 64．What were the goods of movable type printing? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 65．What do you think of Bi Sheng?

I was on the way to California to follow my dream. When I reached downtown EI Paso, I met a bum (流浪汉) on the street corner. He stopped me and asked me if 1 was running away from home.

He took me to a public library. The bum first took me to a table and asked me to sit down and wait for a moment. A few moments later, he returned with some old books and sat beside me. Then he said, “There are two things that I want to teach you, young man, and they are these: Number one is never to judge a book by its cover, for a cover can fool you.” He continued, “You think I’m a bum, don’t you, young man” I said, “Well, uh yes, Sir.” “Well, young man, I’ve got a little surprise for you. I am one of the richest men in the world. But I realized there were certain things I had not yet experienced in life. So for the past year, I have been going from city to city living as a bum.
