It sounds interesting, doesn’t it? The name “monkey orange” really has something to do with monkeys because they enjoy eating the fruit. The monkey orange tree grows in Africa. It can grow to about seven meters tall. The fruit is round, about the size of a grapefruit (葡萄柚). As monkey oranges are fully grown, they turn from green to yellow. But the flesh (果肉) of the fruit is brown or orange. The monkey orange’s good taste makes it a popular fruit in Africa. People eat it also because it’s good for their health. However, it’s not just a kind of fruit. Monkey orange trees and monkey oranges can play a role in other ways. Monkey orange trees don’t need a lot of rain to grow. So when there is not enough rain and crops (庄稼) don’t grow well, people can eat monkey oranges as their healthy food. People make this fruit into juice or some other drinks. Selling the fruit can help people get more money. People use the wood (木头) of monkey orange trees to make useful things. Also, the leaves of monkey orange trees are useful for keeping insects (昆虫) away. Farmers grow the trees around their farms to help preserve fertile soil (保持肥沃的土壤). All in all, monkey oranges are much more than just a fruit. They are important to African people. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．Why do people call this kind of fruit “monkey orange”? 2．Where does the monkey orange tree grow? 3．What's the color of the flesh of the fruit? 4．Is the monkey orange just a kind of fruit? 5．How do farmers preserve fertile soil? It is the coldest time of the year. At 4:00 am, fishermen in Jilin are already crossing an ice lake. They bring tools like nets (网) and hooks (钩子) to go fishing in the ice lake. At the end of every year, people start ice fishing in Chagan Lake, Jilin. The lake is one of China’s biggest freshwater (淡水的) lakes. And there are 68 kinds of fish in it. Bighead carps (胖头鱼) are the most famous among them. The fishermen can get tons of fish in one catch. Winter in Northeast China is long and cold. The fishermen there have to break the ice to make a living. They have done this for about 1,000 years. With the year 2025 around the corner, let’s wish the fishermen a good harvest! HOW TO CATCH FISH ON THE ICE? Step 1 Find the fishThe leader (领队) of the fishermen finds the best fishing place. Fishermen need to lie down and let their ears touch the ice to hear the fish carefully.Step 2 Cut holes Fishermen cut hundreds of holes in the ice, making a circle (圆圈). They must be careful not to fall into the lake while doing this.Step 3 Set the net Then, they place a big net under the ice. The net goes along the holes and rounds up (围起来) the fish.Step 4 Pull in the net After 7 to 8 hours of hard work, they pull the net out of the water through a big hole. There are a lot of fat fish inside it. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．What do fishermen in Jilin bring to go fishing in the ice lake? 2．When do people start ice fishing in Chagan Lake? 3．How many kinds of fish are there in Chagan Lake? 4．Why do fishermen lie down and let their ears touch the ice? 5．What do you think of the fishermen in Jilin? The WWF (世界自然基金会) has warned that climate change is threatening (威胁) the life of the snow leopards (雪豹) in the Himalayas (喜马拉雅山脉). It says rising temperatures cause the natural living places of the big cat to the point that snow leopards could die out. In a new report, it says that up to a third of the areas on the mountain where the snow leopards live could become uninhabitable (不宜居住的). Lots of plants and food the animals need could disappear in warmer temperatures. The WWF said, “The Himalayas area will face danger if we choose not to care about climate change...We will lose the snow leopard.” It isn’t just climate change that is making a serious threat to the future of the snow leopard. Many activities from humans are also adding to the dangers the animals face. Snow leopards are highly needed for their fur and body parts. People are killing the animals for money. The snow leopards are also being killed by farmers when they are trying to protect their animals. As the natural food of the snow leopards is decreasing, the animals are going into human areas to kill farm animals. The result is that the farmers shoot the snow leopards. The WWF reported this result on Friday, which was the first International Snow Leopard Day. 根据语篇内容，回答下列问题。(不超过8个词) 1．Where is climate change threatening the life of the snow leopard? 2．What causes the natural living places of the big cat to the point that snow leopards could die out? 3．How could a third of the areas on the mountain where the leopards live become in the new report? 4．What are people killing the animals for? 5．When did the WWF report the result? 请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，回答下面问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整。 The Shy Mimosa Mimosa pudica, or the “sensitive plant”, is known for its special ability. When touched, its leaves fold up quickly, as if it’s shy. This clever trick helps it avoid being eaten by animals—most pests lose interest when the leaves close! Mimosa grows in warm places like forests and grasslands. It loves sunlight and well-watered soil. But today, this plant is in danger. People often pick it for fun, and construction (建筑施工) destroys its home. In some areas, mimosa has become rare. Scientists say mimosa is more than a “shy” plant. Its folding leaves can teach us about plant movement—how plants react to the world around them. Protecting mimosa means saving a small but important part of nature’s diversity (多样性). 1．Why do mimosa leaves fold up when touched? (No more than 10 words) 2．Where does mimosa like to grow? (No more than 15 words) 3．What are the two dangers to mimosa? (No more than 15 words) 4．What can we learn from mimosa’s folding leaves? (No more than 10 words) 5．What can you do to protect mimosa? (No more than 20 words) 二、U3单元话题热点预测 How do you choose your friends or your partners? What rules do you follow when you choose someone to make friends with? Do they show kindness to you? Do they care for others? Do they show love for life? A good boy made friends with a thief by mistake, and later he also became a thief. Each time you choose a friend or a partner, you choose a part of your life and future. Bad friends can have a bad influence on your life and future. Don’t let a wrong person turn you into a wrong person. Don’t allow bad partners to waste your goodness and love for life. Life is very precious, so you can’t let bad friends waste it. Make friends with those who show kindness, have good habits, and care for others. Share your life with those who want to make themselves and this world better. Tom wanted to learn Chinese. He made friends with some Chinese kids. Now he can speak Chinese well. Choosing your friends is a life’s work. Learn who you can depend on when you have difficulties. Know who you feel comfortable with. And, most of all, know those who want to share happiness and friendship with you and the world. 根据语篇内容，回答下列问题。 1．What can bad friends have a bad influence on? 2．Why can’t you let bad friends waste your life? 3．What did Tom want to learn? 4．What is a life’s work? 5．What kind of friends would you like to make? Why? Sherlock Holmes was an INTP. Ernest Hemingway was an ESTP. Michael Jackson was an ISFP… What do these four-lettered words mean? Well, if you have heard of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), you might know them. With 93 questions, the test groups all of the different people in the world into 16 personality tests in the world, but the MBTI is perhaps the most popular one. More than 1.5 million people take it every year. However, the MBTI is not an accurate (精准的) way to find something as changeable as a person’s personality. Its creators (创造者), Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs-Myers, were not trained psychologists (心理学家). What’s more, the two were unable to scientifically prove (证明) their findings. Then how has this test become so popular? To answer this question, we need to find out what drove Briggs and Briggs-Myers to create it. Briggs was a mother. After reading Carl Jung’s Psychological Types, she decided to create a tool to help parents understand their children’s interests. Briggs-Myers continued to work on the MBTI in the 1940s. Traditional personality tests would divide people into two simple groups: those who were good and those who were bad. The woman wanted everyone to be able to understand her test, while people may be different from one another, they are all created equal (生而平等). This perhaps holds the key to the MBTI’s success: The test never judges personalities negatively (负面地). The MBTI may not be the best way for checking one’s personality, but this doesn’t mean it’s totally useless. Many people are hungry for self-knowledge. The MBTI just offers that knowledge in a painless way. 1．According to the MBTI, how many personality types are there in the world? 2．What was the relationship between the two creators of the MBTI? 3．Why did Katharine Briggs decide to create the MBTI? 4．What’s the key to the MBTI’s success? 5．In your opinion, how can MBTI help us in our daily life? A little boy became very ill. He had to spend all day in bed and wasn’t able to move. He could just look out of the window every day. One day he saw a special shape in the window. It was a cat eating a sandwich. It came in through the window and said “good afternoon’’ to him. He was very surprised. He was also very happy. Then outside his window, he saw a monkey playing with a ball. After a while, more and more funny characters appeared outside the window. He started laughing and found it hard to stop. Later he saw a pig playing the guitar, a duck jumping on a bed and a dog wearing a pair of glasses. The little boy didn’t tell anyone about this because he knew nobody would believe him. His health improved so much that he went back to school. When he told his best friend about all the strange things he had seen, he saw something standing in his schoolbag. They were all the funny animals that his best friend used to make him happy! He knew that his best friend was his real friend, because he used his heart to help him out of trouble. From that day on, the little boy always did his best to make sure that no one felt sad and lonely. 根据语篇内容，回答下列问题。 1．How was the boy when he found the cat? 2．What was the pig doing? 3．Why didn’t the boy tell anyone about the animals? 4．What did the boy’s best friend use to make him happy? 5．What do you think of your best friend? Van Tilburg and his team did a study asking people to describe what boring people are like according to someone they knew. In the study, most people said that a boring person is quiet, has no interests or ideas, and doesn’t have a sense of humor (幽默感). Later studies showed that being seen as boring is a bad personality characteristic (性格特点). And these people are often called introverts (内向的人). So why do some people think introverts are boring? Quiet people usually keep their lives secret (秘密的) and don’t like sharing their lives with others. This is different from what many cultures enjoy: being outgoing and welcome. Because of this, people might wrongly think that “quiet” means “boring”. They believe being very outgoing and sharing everything online shows people are fun. However, thinking that being outgoing is better can be a mistake, according to another study. This idea may start when we are in our teenage years because we have the most friends and are popular with everyone at that time. This kind of popularity can make quiet people feel bad about not being so social (合群的). In fact, introverts have something called a “quiet ego (自我)”. It helps them be able to put themselves in other people’s shoes and see all sides of problems. They not only care about themselves, but also care about others. Their kindness also brings them a feeling of long-lasting happiness. It’s not right to think introverts are boring because introversion has many good points. Introverts are truer to themselves. Knowing being introverted is good can make people feel great about themselves. There can be happiness in being “boring” if you have a quiet, introverted personality. 1．What did most people in the study think of a boring person? 2．Why do some people think introverts are boring? 3．When may people start to think that being outgoing is better? 4．How does the quiet ego help introverts? 5．Are you an introvert? What do you think of introverts? 【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报·试题原创】 Build your character The benefits of a university education are well known. Whether it’s allowing us to get the job of our dreams or giving us the chance to learn exciting new things, getting a degree is one of the smartest life choices a person can make. But if a recent study from Australia is to be believed, university education offers more than just a pathway to knowledge. According to the research, which was published in the journal Oxford Economic Papers this month, people who have studied at university tend to have a more outgoing personality than those who haven’t. Indeed, it’s believed that higher education allows students to not only build their knowledge of a certain subject, but also strengthen their so-called non-cognitive abilities, which include interpersonal and communication skills. The researchers studied 575 young Australians over eight years, measuring certain non-cognitive abilities at different stages of their education, such as how confident each person was and their willingness to help others. It was found that as each year of their time at university went by, most students’ non-cognitive skills improved greatly. “We see quite clearly that students’ personalities change when they go to university,” said Sonja Kassenboehmer, lead author of the study. And in a 2016 analysis by UK education charity the Sutton Trust, it was found that those with good non-cognitive abilities were up to 25 percent more likely to be working in a well-paying job than those with poor or average ones. So does this mean that in order to become a success, one must get a university degree? Of course not. In fact, the researchers found that the developments in character were a result of the students’ surroundings, rather than the content of their courses. As most university students are seeing the world on their own for the first time, they must learn how to interact with others and become liked if they’re to get ahead in life. This could mean that those without a university education can still be as outgoing as those who have one, as long as they make the effort to expose themselves to character-building situations. As US human rights activist Martin Luther King once said, “Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.” 1．What’s the conclusion of the research in the journal Oxford Economic Papers? 2．What kind of abilities did the research test? 3．Must people get a university degree to become successful? 4．What’s the reason for the students’ developments in character? 5．What’s the goal of true education according to Martin Luther King? 三、U2单元话题热点预测 Family Day is a day for families to have fun together.

It’s an interesting but important question. Dave has his own idea and answer. He says, “As I was a child, my mother believed in the importance of housework. My sister Dee and I cleaned up the kitchen every night after dinner. Our parents usually planned some weekly tasks for us, such as sweeping and tidying. We must finish them on Saturdays. They expected us to make our beds and keep our bedrooms clean every week. Mum also found some seasonal (季节的) chores to give us, such as cutting grass, sweeping leaves, cleaning the room, and so on.” In fact, Dave didn’t agree with his mother. He always complained (抱怨) about the housework, but he did it. He still helps with housework now. His wife, Merry, is very grateful to Dave’s mum. She has said to friends many times, “I’m lucky that Dave’s mum made him work around the house.” Does that make Dave different? I don’t think so. One new report shows that men’s work in the home is three times as much as that of forty years ago. “Who does the housework?” is still a big question in many families today. In recent years, reports have shown that wives usually do much more housework than husbands. A 2021 report showed 62 percent of Americans thought of sharing housework as an important aspect of a successful family. However, there were only 47 percent of people had the same idea in 1990. In a family, sharing housework is before money and children. Also, sharing housework sets an example for the children. 1．What did Dave’s mother believe in as he was a child? 2．How often did Dave sweep and tidy? 3．Who is grateful to Dave’s mother? 4．Who does the housework in your home? Why? Write 20 words or more. A few days ago, I ran into a stranger as he passed by. I said sorry to him, and he said, “Excuse me too. I wasn’t even noticing you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went on our ways after saying goodbye. Later in the kitchen at home, as I cooked our meal, my daughter Betty walked up to me, very quietly. When I turned around, I nearly knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted angrily. She ran away, crying. That night, when I lay in bed, my husband said to me, “You were so rude to Betty. Go and check the kitchen floor, and you’ll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you. She picked them herself—pink, yellow, and your favourite blue.” When I heard this, I thought deeply,  “While meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite; but with my daughter, I was not patient.” I felt sad and tears began to fall. I quietly went to Betty’s bed, “My dear,” I said, “are these the flowers you picked for me? ” She smiled, “I found them by the tree. I knew you’d like them, especially the blue.” I said,  “I am so sorry that I treated (对待) you that way today. ” And she whispered (悄声说), “Mommy, that’s okay—I still love you anyway.”  I kissed her and said, “I love you too and I do love the flowers.” That day Betty gave me a lesson on how to get along with each other in the family. I spent much time on work before and didn’t realize how important family life was. I decided to do better in the future. 1．What did the writer say to a stranger when she ran into him? 2．When the writer nearly knocked Betty down, what did she do? 3．Why did the writer feel sad and begin to cry? 4．What lesson did Betty give her mother? 5．What will you do to get along with each other in your family? Many families live busy lives. Every week, the children have homework, sports, music lessons and club activities. The parents are busy too. They work, do the housework, cook meals and drive their children to take part in activities. Some families do not have time to eat meals together more than once a week. Our community (社区) decided that it was time to take a break. After three weeks of planning, we took one night off. We called it the “family night”. It was a night for families to spend time together. Sports teams stopped their practices, and teachers did not give homework. On the “family night”, we decided to turn off our televisions. “We also decided not to answer the phone,” answering machines said. “Please call back tomorrow.” Many families ordered hamburgers and other food from stores or restaurants so that they wouldn’t need to spend time cooking. There were lots of activities. Storytelling and card games were the most popular. These activities gave families the chance (机会) to spend time together. Children and parents weren’t so busy, and children didn’t spend so much time playing computer games or watching TV. On the “family night”, families relaxed and spent the evening together. We hope to have more “family nights”. 1．What was the “family night”? 2．How long did it take the community to plan for the “family night”? 3．Why did people order food from stores or restaurants on the “family night”? 4．What were the most popular events at the “family night”? 5．Do you want to have a “family night” in your community too?

The students there were very kind and cute. When I arrived at the primary school, all of them came out to meet me. The students I taught were second graders. They did very well. There were many kinds of classes. But the students liked calligraphy (书法) best. When the class began, I gave them pens and ink (墨水).

Many young people travelled to Xi’an in Shaanxi Province to find out about the city through a “Citywalk” during the summer holiday. After the “Citywalk”, they shared interesting ideas and things on the Internet. “Citywalk” means walking freely along city streets. When you go for a “Citywalk”, you don’t have to worry about making plans or carrying heavy bags. “Citywalk” is getting popular with young people, because it helps them to get to know about a city. “Xi’an is one of China’s famous historic cities. It’s a perfect place for visitors to take a free walk. And they may stay here for over two days,” said Liu Peixuan, a person in Xi’an. On Mingguang Road there is a famous bookshop. By reading all kinds of books, visitors can better understand the culture and traditions of Xi’an. “Xi’an was the capital of a few dynasties, such as the Qin Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty,” said Li Ling, the shop worker of the bookshop. “I want to help customers learn about the dynasties. That’s why I chose to work here.” Li Ling said. 根据语篇内容，按要求回答下列问题。 1．When did many young people go to Xi’an? 2．What does “Citywalk” mean? 3．How long may visitors stay in Xi’an according to Liu Peixuan? 4．How can visitors better understand the culture and traditions of Xi’an? 5．Why did the girl Li Ling choose to work in the bookshop? 10 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 15 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 期中复习 Units 1-4 阅读回答问题进阶练16篇（紧贴新教材单元话题） 目录 一、U4单元话题热点预测 1 二、U3单元话题热点预测 7 三、U2单元话题热点预测 16 四、U1单元话题热点预测 22 一、U4单元话题热点预测 Do you know the monkey orange?

It is the coldest time of the year. At 4:00 am, fishermen in Jilin are already crossing an ice lake. They bring tools like nets (网) and hooks (钩子) to go fishing in the ice lake. At the end of every year, people start ice fishing in Chagan Lake, Jilin. The lake is one of China’s biggest freshwater (淡水的) lakes. And there are 68 kinds of fish in it. Bighead carps (胖头鱼) are the most famous among them. The fishermen can get tons of fish in one catch. Winter in Northeast China is long and cold.

The WWF (世界自然基金会) has warned that climate change is threatening (威胁) the life of the snow leopards (雪豹) in the Himalayas (喜马拉雅山脉). It says rising temperatures cause the natural living places of the big cat to the point that snow leopards could die out. In a new report, it says that up to a third of the areas on the mountain where the snow leopards live could become uninhabitable (不宜居住的). Lots of plants and food the animals need could disappear in warmer temperatures. The WWF said, “The Himalayas area will face danger if we choose not to care about climate change...We will lose the snow leopard.” It isn’t just climate change that is making a serious threat to the future of the snow leopard. Many activities from humans are also adding to the dangers the animals face. Snow leopards are highly needed for their fur and body parts. People are killing the animals for money. The snow leopards are also being killed by farmers when they are trying to protect their animals. As the natural food of the snow leopards is decreasing, the animals are going into human areas to kill farm animals. The result is that the farmers shoot the snow leopards. The WWF reported this result on Friday, which was the first International Snow Leopard Day. 根据语篇内容，回答下列问题。(不超过8个词) 1．Where is climate change threatening the life of the snow leopard? 2．What causes the natural living places of the big cat to the point that snow leopards could die out? 3．How could a third of the areas on the mountain where the leopards live become in the new report? 4．What are people killing the animals for? 5．When did the WWF report the result? 【答案】1．In the Himalayas. 2．Rising temperatures. 3．Uninhabitable. 4．Money. 5．On Friday, the first International Snow Leopard Day. 【导语】本文主要介绍了气候变化和人类活动对雪豹生存的威胁，包括栖息地减少、食物消失以及人类猎杀等。 1．根据“climate change is threatening the life of the snow leopards in the Himalayas”可知，喜马拉雅气候的变化威胁着雪豹的生存。故填In the Himalayas. 2．根据“It says rising temperatures cause the natural living places of the big cat to the point that snow leopards could die out.”可知，气温上升是导致雪豹栖息地恶化，雪豹可能会灭绝的原因。故填Rising temperatures. 3．根据“In a new report, it says that up to a third of the areas on the mountain where the snow leopards live could become uninhabitable.”可知，雪豹栖息地三分之一的山区可能会变得不宜居住。故填Uninhabitable. 4．根据“People are killing the animals for money.”可知，人们为了钱猎杀雪豹。故填Money. 5．根据“The WWF reported this result on Friday, which was the first International Snow Leopard Day.”可知，世界自然基金会在周五报告了这一结果，这是第一个国际雪豹日。故填On Friday, the first International Snow Leopard Day. 请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，回答下面问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整。 The Shy Mimosa Mimosa pudica, or the “sensitive plant”, is known for its special ability. When touched, its leaves fold up quickly, as if it’s shy. This clever trick helps it avoid being eaten by animals—most pests lose interest when the leaves close! Mimosa grows in warm places like forests and grasslands. It loves sunlight and well-watered soil. But today, this plant is in danger. People often pick it for fun, and construction (建筑施工) destroys its home. In some areas, mimosa has become rare. Scientists say mimosa is more than a “shy” plant. Its folding leaves can teach us about plant movement—how plants react to the world around them. Protecting mimosa means saving a small but important part of nature’s diversity (多样性). 1．Why do mimosa leaves fold up when touched? (No more than 10 words) 2．Where does mimosa like to grow? (No more than 15 words) 3．What are the two dangers to mimosa? (No more than 15 words) 4．What can we learn from mimosa’s folding leaves? (No more than 10 words) 5．What can you do to protect mimosa? (No more than 20 words) 【答案】1．To avoid being eaten by animals. 2．In warm places like forests and grasslands with sunlight and well-watered soil. 3．People pick it for fun and construction destroys its home. 4．How plants react to the world. 5．(Example) I can tell others not to pick mimosa and protect its growing areas. 【导语】本文介绍含羞草的“害羞”特性(叶片受触碰闭合)、生长环境，以及面临的人为采摘、栖息地破坏等威胁，阐述保护含羞草对维护生物多样性的意义。 1．根据“This clever trick helps it avoid being eaten by animals”可知闭合叶片是为了避免被动物吃掉，故填To avoid being eaten by animals. 2．根据“Mimosa grows in warm places like forests and grasslands.

Well, if you have heard of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), you might know them. With 93 questions, the test groups all of the different people in the world into 16 personality tests in the world, but the MBTI is perhaps the most popular one. More than 1.5 million people take it every year. However, the MBTI is not an accurate (精准的) way to find something as changeable as a person’s personality. Its creators (创造者), Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs-Myers, were not trained psychologists (心理学家). What’s more, the two were unable to scientifically prove (证明) their findings. Then how has this test become so popular? To answer this question, we need to find out what drove Briggs and Briggs-Myers to create it. Briggs was a mother. After reading Carl Jung’s Psychological Types, she decided to create a tool to help parents understand their children’s interests. Briggs-Myers continued to work on the MBTI in the 1940s. Traditional personality tests would divide people into two simple groups: those who were good and those who were bad. The woman wanted everyone to be able to understand her test, while people may be different from one another, they are all created equal (生而平等). This perhaps holds the key to the MBTI’s success: The test never judges personalities negatively (负面地). The MBTI may not be the best way for checking one’s personality, but this doesn’t mean it’s totally useless. Many people are hungry for self-knowledge. The MBTI just offers that knowledge in a painless way. 1．According to the MBTI, how many personality types are there in the world? 2．What was the relationship between the two creators of the MBTI? 3．Why did Katharine Briggs decide to create the MBTI? 4．What’s the key to the MBTI’s success? 5．In your opinion, how can MBTI help us in our daily life? 【答案】1．16/Sixteen. 2．Mother and daughter. 3．To help parents understand their children’s interests. 4．The test never judges personalities negatively. 5．I think it offers self-knowledge in a painless way. (答案不唯一，言之有理即可) 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了MBTI的起源、特点及其受欢迎的原因。 1．根据文章第2段“With 93 questions, the test groups all of the different people in the world into 16 personality tests in the world, but the MBTI is perhaps the most popular one.”可知，通过93个问题，该测试将世界上所有不同的人分为16种性格类型。故填16/Sixteen. 2．根据文章第3段“Its creators, Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs-Myers, were not trained psychologists.”可知，它的创造者是Katharine Briggs和她的女儿Isabel Briggs-Myers，两人为母女关系。故填Mother and daughter. 3．根据文章第4段“After reading Carl Jung’s Psychological Types, she decided to create a tool to help parents understand their children’s interests.”可知，她决定创建一个工具来帮助父母了解孩子的兴趣。故填To help parents understand their children’s interests. 4．根据文章第4段“This perhaps holds the key to the MBTI’s success: The test never judges personalities negatively.”可知，MBTI成功的关键是：该测试从不负面地评判性格。故填The test never judges personalities negatively. 5．开放性问答，言之有理即可。参考答案：I think it offers self-knowledge in a painless way. (我认为它以一种无痛的方式提供了自我认识。) A little boy became very ill. He had to spend all day in bed and wasn’t able to move. He could just look out of the window every day. One day he saw a special shape in the window. It was a cat eating a sandwich. It came in through the window and said “good afternoon’’ to him. He was very surprised. He was also very happy. Then outside his window, he saw a monkey playing with a ball. After a while, more and more funny characters appeared outside the window. He started laughing and found it hard to stop. Later he saw a pig playing the guitar, a duck jumping on a bed and a dog wearing a pair of glasses. The little boy didn’t tell anyone about this because he knew nobody would believe him. His health improved so much that he went back to school. When he told his best friend about all the strange things he had seen, he saw something standing in his schoolbag. They were all the funny animals that his best friend used to make him happy! He knew that his best friend was his real friend, because he used his heart to help him out of trouble.

Van Tilburg and his team did a study asking people to describe what boring people are like according to someone they knew. In the study, most people said that a boring person is quiet, has no interests or ideas, and doesn’t have a sense of humor (幽默感). Later studies showed that being seen as boring is a bad personality characteristic (性格特点). And these people are often called introverts (内向的人). So why do some people think introverts are boring? Quiet people usually keep their lives secret (秘密的) and don’t like sharing their lives with others. This is different from what many cultures enjoy: being outgoing and welcome. Because of this, people might wrongly think that “quiet” means “boring”. They believe being very outgoing and sharing everything online shows people are fun. However, thinking that being outgoing is better can be a mistake, according to another study. This idea may start when we are in our teenage years because we have the most friends and are popular with everyone at that time. This kind of popularity can make quiet people feel bad about not being so social (合群的). In fact, introverts have something called a “quiet ego (自我)”. It helps them be able to put themselves in other people’s shoes and see all sides of problems. They not only care about themselves, but also care about others. Their kindness also brings them a feeling of long-lasting happiness. It’s not right to think introverts are boring because introversion has many good points. Introverts are truer to themselves. Knowing being introverted is good can make people feel great about themselves. There can be happiness in being “boring” if you have a quiet, introverted personality. 1．What did most people in the study think of a boring person? 2．Why do some people think introverts are boring? 3．When may people start to think that being outgoing is better? 4．How does the quiet ego help introverts? 5．Are you an introvert? What do you think of introverts? 【答案】1．Most people said that a boring person is quiet, has no interests or ideas, and doesn’t have a sense of humor. 2．Because their behavior goes against cultural preference. 3．When we are in our teenage years. 4．It helps them be able to put themselves in other people’s shoes and see all sides of problems. 5．Yes. I think there’s nothing wrong with being introverted. Introverts also have many good points.（开放性试题，言之成理即可） 【导语】本文主要纠正关于内向的错误观念。 1．根据“In the study, most people said that a boring person is quiet, has no interests or ideas, and doesn’t have a sense of humor.”可知，大多数人认为无聊的人很安静，没有兴趣或想法，没有幽默感。故填Most people said that a boring person is quiet, has no interests or ideas, and doesn’t have a sense of humor. 2．根据“Quiet people usually keep their lives secret and don’t like sharing their lives with others. This is different from what many cultures enjoy: being outgoing and welcome.”可知，内向的人的行为违背了文化偏好，因此人们认为内向的人很无聊。故填Because their behavior goes against cultural preference. 3．根据“This idea may start when we are in our teenage years because we have the most friends and are popular with everyone at that time.”可知，在我们十几岁的时候开始，我们就认为外向更好，因为外向的人有最多的朋友，在那个时候很受大家的欢迎。故填When we are in our teenage years. 4．根据“In fact, introverts have something called a ‘quiet ego’. It helps them be able to put themselves in other people’s shoes and see all sides of problems.”可知，“安静的自我”能帮助他们设身处地地为别人着想，看到问题的各个方面。故填It helps them be able to put themselves in other people’s shoes and see all sides of problems. 5．本题是开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案为Yes. I think there’s nothing wrong with being introverted. Introverts also have many good points. 【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报·试题原创】 Build your character The benefits of a university education are well known. Whether it’s allowing us to get the job of our dreams or giving us the chance to learn exciting new things, getting a degree is one of the smartest life choices a person can make. But if a recent study from Australia is to be believed, university education offers more than just a pathway to knowledge. According to the research, which was published in the journal Oxford Economic Papers this month, people who have studied at university tend to have a more outgoing personality than those who haven’t. Indeed, it’s believed that higher education allows students to not only build their knowledge of a certain subject, but also strengthen their so-called non-cognitive abilities, which include interpersonal and communication skills. The researchers studied 575 young Australians over eight years, measuring certain non-cognitive abilities at different stages of their education, such as how confident each person was and their willingness to help others. It was found that as each year of their time at university went by, most students’ non-cognitive skills improved greatly. “We see quite clearly that students’ personalities change when they go to university,” said Sonja Kassenboehmer, lead author of the study. And in a 2016 analysis by UK education charity the Sutton Trust, it was found that those with good non-cognitive abilities were up to 25 percent more likely to be working in a well-paying job than those with poor or average ones. So does this mean that in order to become a success, one must get a university degree? Of course not. In fact, the researchers found that the developments in character were a result of the students’ surroundings, rather than the content of their courses. As most university students are seeing the world on their own for the first time, they must learn how to interact with others and become liked if they’re to get ahead in life. This could mean that those without a university education can still be as outgoing as those who have one, as long as they make the effort to expose themselves to character-building situations. As US human rights activist Martin Luther King once said, “Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.” 1．What’s the conclusion of the research in the journal Oxford Economic Papers? 2．What kind of abilities did the research test? 3．Must people get a university degree to become successful? 4．What’s the reason for the students’ developments in character? 5．What’s the goal of true education according to Martin Luther King? 【答案】1．People who have studied at university tend to be more outgoing than those who haven’t. 2．It tested some non-cognitive abilities. 3．No, they needn’t. 4．It is their surroundings. 5．Intelligence and character. 【导语】本文介绍了一项研究结果：在大学学习过的人往往更外向，这是由他所处的环境决定的。 1．根据第四段内容可知，《牛津经济论文》中的研究结论是：在大学学习过的人往往比没有在大学学习过的人更外向。故填People who have studied at university tend to be more outgoing than those who haven’t. 2． 根据“The researchers studied 575 young Australians over eight years, measuring certain non-cognitive abilities at different stages of their education ...”可知，这项研究对一些非认知能力进行了测试。故填It tested some non-cognitive abilities. 3．根据“So does this mean that in order to become a success, one must get a university degree? Of course not.”可知，人们并不是必须获得大学学位才能成功。故填No, they needn’t. 4．根据“In fact, the researchers found that the developments in character were a result of the students’ surroundings, rather than the content of their courses.”可知，性格发展的原因是学生所处的环境。故填It is their surroundings. 5．根据“As US human rights activist Martin Luther King once said, ‘Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.’”可知，马丁·路德·金认为智力和性格是真正教育的目标。故填Intelligence and character. 三、U2单元话题热点预测 Family Day is a day for families to have fun together.

It’s an interesting but important question. Dave has his own idea and answer. He says, “As I was a child, my mother believed in the importance of housework. My sister Dee and I cleaned up the kitchen every night after dinner. Our parents usually planned some weekly tasks for us, such as sweeping and tidying. We must finish them on Saturdays. They expected us to make our beds and keep our bedrooms clean every week. Mum also found some seasonal (季节的) chores to give us, such as cutting grass, sweeping leaves, cleaning the room, and so on.” In fact, Dave didn’t agree with his mother. He always complained (抱怨) about the housework, but he did it. He still helps with housework now. His wife, Merry, is very grateful to Dave’s mum. She has said to friends many times, “I’m lucky that Dave’s mum made him work around the house.” Does that make Dave different? I don’t think so. One new report shows that men’s work in the home is three times as much as that of forty years ago. “Who does the housework?” is still a big question in many families today. In recent years, reports have shown that wives usually do much more housework than husbands. A 2021 report showed 62 percent of Americans thought of sharing housework as an important aspect of a successful family. However, there were only 47 percent of people had the same idea in 1990. In a family, sharing housework is before money and children. Also, sharing housework sets an example for the children. 1．What did Dave’s mother believe in as he was a child? 2．How often did Dave sweep and tidy? 3．Who is grateful to Dave’s mother? 4．Who does the housework in your home?

I said sorry to him, and he said, “Excuse me too. I wasn’t even noticing you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went on our ways after saying goodbye. Later in the kitchen at home, as I cooked our meal, my daughter Betty walked up to me, very quietly. When I turned around, I nearly knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted angrily. She ran away, crying. That night, when I lay in bed, my husband said to me, “You were so rude to Betty. Go and check the kitchen floor, and you’ll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you. She picked them herself—pink, yellow, and your favourite blue.” When I heard this, I thought deeply,  “While meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite; but with my daughter, I was not patient.” I felt sad and tears began to fall. I quietly went to Betty’s bed, “My dear,” I said, “are these the flowers you picked for me? ” She smiled, “I found them by the tree. I knew you’d like them, especially the blue.” I said,  “I am so sorry that I treated (对待) you that way today. ” And she whispered (悄声说), “Mommy, that’s okay—I still love you anyway.”  I kissed her and said, “I love you too and I do love the flowers.” That day Betty gave me a lesson on how to get along with each other in the family.
