However, it is becoming the only way to communicate for our teens. It has made face-to-face interaction 1 often and has made a negative effect on the social abilities of the teens. These days we communicate on websites like Facebook, but I wonder why we have no in-person friendships. I see teens texting 2 . They text while talking to someone else, at the dinner table, in the car and at the movies. This tiny piece of plastic is distracting teens from the real world. As you can see, I am very much 3 technology but there are ways that help. It helps many people stay in touch with friends that might have moved away. In my life, I will have to move from my friends from time to time. With the help of WeChat, it can be easy to 4 them and to ask if they would like to do something in person. Staying in touch can be done in person as much as over technology. Some people have 5 making new friends and the Internet provides ways to meet new people through chat rooms. I believe relationships built online can be a little eccentric. One study suggests that online relationships simply take longer to develop than those face-to-face. Online relationships can be 6 because you never know who’s on the other side of the chat. You can become more open over the Internet if you don’t have a chance to meet others in real life. Meeting people online can give you confidence, but I believe it also tears you down. Online relationships will either build you up or break you down. Most importantly, don’t let keyboards be the key to your heart. 1．A．too B．very C．less D．more 2．A．here B．there C．somewhere D．everywhere 3．A．for B．against C．with D．behind 4．A．reach B．lose C．win D．control 5．A．fun B．time C．trouble D．trust 6．A．convenient B．dangerous C．important D．necessary Water makes up about sixty percent of your body weight. As a teenager, you should drink 1.4 to 1.9 liters of water every day. Most of us get our water at a low price from our taps. But some people prefer bottled water, 1 it costs more. Bottled water first appeared in the United States in the 1760s. A company called Jackson’s Spa bottled and sold mineral water. It said that the water could “produce good effects on people’s bodies”. Since then, bottled water has become more and more 2 worldwide. People drink about 10 percent more bottled water every year. In 2019, for the first time, Americans drank more bottled water than soda. Why has bottled water become so popular? Well, this may have something to do with people’s 3 about the purity of tap water. According to one survey, 63 percent of Americans worried a lot about the safety of their drinking water. However, research suggests such worries are unnecessary. For most families, bottled water is not better than tap water. 4 , almost half of all bottled water comes from the tap. (The company may further process it, though) And when it comes to taste, most of us cannot tell the difference. Students at Boston University once conducted a blind taste test. Only a third of the taste-testers were able to correctly 5 the tap water from the samples. Making bottled water, however, requires a lot of resources. Plastic bottles are usually used only once before being thrown away. Besides, more water goes into the making of a bottle of water than simply its contents. One study found that on average, companies use 1.39 liters of water to make one liter of bottled water, which means the industry actually 6 huge amounts of water. Do you prefer bottled water to tap water? It’s time to change your mind! Bottled water is more expensive. However, it isn’t much better than the water you get from your kitchen tap. 1．A．as B．because C．even though D．once 2．A．popular B．classical C．effective D．excellent 3．A．confidence B．worries C．protection D．misunderstandings 4．A．In addition B．What’s more C．In fact D．However 5．A．pick out B．help out C．work out D．find out 6．A．recycles B．wastes C．purifies D．stores Water is an 1 resource that is often taken for granted. It is everywhere around us, from the 2 we drink to the oceans that cover a large part of the Earth. However, not all water is the same. Fresh water, which is essential for human survival, is relatively scarce. Only a small percentage of the Earth’s water is fresh water that is 3 for us to use. Most of it is locked in glaciers or underground. We rely on this fresh water for many aspects of our daily lives, like cooking, cleaning, and irrigating crops. Water also has a significant impact on the environment. Human civilization 4 the habitats of many plants and animals. Wetlands, for example, are areas full of water that support a diverse range of species. These areas act as natural filters, 5 the water and making it cleaner. Unfortunately, water pollution is a growing problem. Industrial waste, agricultural chemicals, and improper sewage disposal are 6 our water sources. If we don’t take steps to protect water, we will face serious consequences for both our own health and the health of the planet. 1．A．ordinary B．invaluable C．unnecessary D．abundant 2．A．juice B．milk C．water D．coffee 3．A．accessible B．expensive C．useless D．salty 4．A．destroys B．ignores C．creates D．abandons 5．A．polluting B．heating C．cooling D．purifying 6．A．protecting B．enriching C．contaminating D．improving Thomas Alva Edison was a very curious child. He liked to know how things worked. Thomas liked to do experiments. He made his own 1 for the things he needed. He sold candy and newspapers to people on a train. When he was 27 years old, Thomas 2 a new kind of telegraph. A telegraph is a machine that sends messages quickly. The 3 owner of a railroad paid Thomas $100, 000 for the invention. This new machine made sending messages much 4 than before. With the money, Thomas built the first lab that was used just for inventing things. The building was in Menlo Park, New Jersey. Here, he could work on his ideas and 5 even more helpful tools for people. Edison invented the phonograph (留声机) there in 1877. He recorded his own 6 saying “Mary Had a Little Lamb”. People were amazed at the phonograph. It seemed like 7 . They called Edison “The Wizard (魔法师) of Menlo Park”. Edison was 8 in the light bulb. The first light bulbs didn’t last very long. Edison made a new kind of bulb that lasted longer than the others. He also found a 9 for the bulb to be used in houses and other buildings. This made it 10 for people to have light at night, which improved their daily lives. Soon, New York City was bright with lights.

Some people think machines can compete with artists. Yet, many believe that true art can only come from human hands. So, can robots take the place of artists? Yes-Robots are the artists of the futureCreating a robot is, in some ways, an art form. The human engineer must think creatively about what the robot will do and then bring that idea to life. Because robots are designed with imagination and creativity, they can also create art. Many famous artists today 1 robots to help with their work. These artists believe that robots have a special ability. 2 human artists, who might worry if their work isn’t good enough or wonder whether to keep going, robots are reliable. They don’t get discouraged or 3 . Robots can be just as skilled as human artists and could even take the place of them in creating art. No-Human skill is what makes artOne reason millions of people visit museums and galleries each year is to see art created by humans. Art made by a robot doesn’t have the same feeling and emotion that human-made art has, and it doesn’t have the same impact on the audience. People are 4 art when they can see the love and skill behind it. Imperfections in the artwork can also make it 5 , showing the human touch behind it. Robots can’t take the place of artists because humans have a natural drive to create. From a young age, people pick up crayons, pencils, or pens and start drawing. This 6 to make art will never go away, and robots cannot compete with it. 1．A．refer to B．rely on C．stand for D．point out 2．A．Besides B．As C．Unlike D．Among 3．A．make decisions B．give up C．make progress D．grow up 4．A．moved by B．satisfied with C．confused about D．disappointed at 5．A．dull B．possible C．difficult D．special 6．A．wish B．reason C．desire D．skill 进阶拓展训练5篇 Read the comments about changes in the future. How much do you agree with them? These days, some people work at home one or two days a week instead of going to an office every day. I think in the future a lot more people will work from home all the time. And the number of offices will decrease. It’s sad, because people will lose most of their social skills like the 1 to connect to others. There won’t be any paper books in the future. They might disappear 2 . If you want to read books, you will have to download them to a portable e-reader. It will hold hundreds of your favourite books. Some e-readers might also be waterproof. So you can use them when you are having a bath or a shower. I think the number of people on the planet will continue to increase. There will be less space, so we’ll need to 3 the way we live. Maybe we’ll live underground, or maybe lots of people will live together in a single house. It’s horrible! Life will definitely get 4 than it is now. Our house might be 5 in the future. If there’s an emergency, it will automatically send a message to the police or call for an ambulance. Our house might also control the heating and the air-conditioning, so we’ll never feel too hot or too cold. Driverless cars are a new thing at the moment, but I think in the future it will be common to have one. I think it’ll be a good and safe thing, because we won’t have so many road 6 . Maybe we will stop using petrol, too. That would be good. 1．A．attitude B．ability C．possibility D．decision 2．A．directly B．extremely C．surprisingly D．completely 3．A．change B．lose C．miss D．figure 4．A．better B．worse C．more amazing D．less interesting 5．A．positive B．scientific C．smart D．perfect 6．A．cars B．traffic C．complaints D．accidents In today’s world, digital life is everywhere. We use digital devices in almost every part of our lives. Take education 1 an example. Students can now study online. They can 2 courses from famous teachers on the Internet. There are also many apps that can help them 3 their studies. For instance, some apps can correct their 4 mistakes when they write essays. In the business field, digital technology has 5 a lot. Companies can use e-commerce platforms to sell their products all over the world. They can also use digital tools to 6 their customers’ needs better and provide better services. However, digital life also has some 7 . There is the problem of information security. Hackers may steal our personal information 8 we are using the Internet. Also, spending too much time on digital devices can be 9 to our health, especially our eyes. So, we should make good use of digital technology 10 also be aware of its disadvantages. 1．A．as B．for C．with D．in 2．A．take B．give C．teach D．learn 3．A．on B．in C．with D．at 4．A．grammar B．math C．history D．physics 5．A．changed B．made C．kept D．found 6．A．understand B．ask C．answer D．tell 7．A．advantages B．disadvantages C．problems D．questions 8．A．before B．after C．while D．until 9．A．good B．helpful C．harmful D．useful 10．A．and B．but C．or D．so Villages in China have enjoyed their development in a digital way in recent years. With the help of digital technology, 1 are living an easier and happier life. 2 in the past was not an easy job. Farmers worked hard all year round. At the same time they usually found it difficult to solve problems like 3 diseases (疾病) and pests (害虫). Now there have been big changes in farming. For example, in Dayi County, Sichuan Province, there are 13 digital farms with AI 4 . These machines help local farmers know when and 5 to fertilize (施肥) and kill pests. In this way, they make farmers work more easily with less time and energy. Thanks to the Internet, a new 6 called rural e-commerce (乡村电子商务) grows. Selling fresh fruit and vegetables to cities is faster. In the past, it was hard for people in 7 to know what villagers planted. Now, they can buy things 8 over the phones. The business also helps villagers live a digital life. They can get many things done on different kinds of apps. They can also use drones (无人机) to help with their farm work. More visitors travel in beautiful villages because of digital technology. A good example is Huacheng Town, Guangdong Province. To let more people know its culture and attract more visitors, it 9 a “digital town”. Visitors can know where to park their cars for free, when to 10 a ticket easily and what to buy online. They can also enjoy the view of nearly every part of the town by using VR. 1．A．villagers B．tourists C．businessmen D．fishermen 2．A．Designing B．Building C．Farming D．Repairing 3．A．grass B．pet C．animal D．plant 4．A．models B．machines C．tools D．cameras 5．A．who B．how C．what D．where 6．A．business B．company C．community D．culture 7．A．hills B．villages C．provinces D．cities 8．A．early B．slowly C．easily D．luckily 9．A．dreams of B．looks through C．turns into D．arrives at 10．A．order B．book C．sell D．offer Water is very important to living things.

Water is needed in offices, factories and schools. Water is needed 2 . There is water in seas, rivers and lakes. Water is found almost everywhere, even in the 3 part of the world. The water in the air is a gas, and we call it water vapor (蒸气). Clouds 4 small drops of water. They may also be made of snow crystals (结晶体). Snow crystals are very small crystals of ice. Ice is frozen water. It is a 5 . There can be snow and ice everywhere in winter. Water may be a solid or a liquid or a gas. When it is a solid, it may be as 6 as a stone.

It’s up to 1,637 metres deep. 2 , it’s not only a lake but also the future fifth ocean with nearly 20% of the planet’s unfrozen fresh water in the world. The water is so clean that people can drink it directly(直接地). Lake Baikal is in the 3 of the banana and people also think it looks like a crescent (月牙形的) moon. Lake Baikal is beautiful and a lot of 4 come to visit it every year. They usually come in summer. It is not cold then. They can 5 the blue water and the green mountains.

It is the home of millions of living things. Animals and plants of various shapes, colors and sizes live in the sea. Do you know there is more life in the sea than that on land? The animals and plants of sea are very 2 to man as source of food. If you ever go skin diving (轻装潜水), a beautiful new world will 3 your eyes. In the future you will be hearing more and more about the sea. It is one of the largest remaining places on the Earth which has not been fully explored by man. Today, more and more 4 are exploring the sea. This is because the population of the Earth is increasing so fast that the land alone will not be able to provide 5 food for everyone. The sea is like a huge storehouse. It contains not only food but also many 6 valuable things such as oil. The sea can also provide us with a lot of fresh water in the future. 1．A．place B．surface C．area D．ocean 2．A．important B．interesting C．impossible D．intelligent 3．A．meet B．see C．look D．notice 4．A．workers B．doctors C．scientists D．teachers 5．A．many B．enough C．little D．plenty 6．A．same B．difficult C．rest D．other Water is one of the most precious resources on our planet. It is essential for all forms of life. Every day, we use water in countless ways, from drinking and cooking to cleaning and industry. Our bodies are made up mostly of water, and we need to 1 enough water every day to stay healthy. A lack of water can lead to various health problems, such as dehydration, which can affect our physical and mental 2 . In nature, water plays a crucial role in the ecosystem. Rivers, lakes, and oceans are homes to a vast number of plants and animals. Water also helps in the 3 of nutrients in the soil, which is vital for plant growth. However, with the rapid growth of the population and the development of industry, water pollution has become a serious 4 . Chemicals from factories, waste from cities, and agricultural runoff all lead to the contamination of water sources. This not only endangers the lives of aquatic creatures but also has a direct impact on our own health when we use polluted water. To solve this problem, we need to take 5 measures. We can start by reducing our water usage in daily life, such as fixing leaky faucets and using water-saving appliances. At the same time, governments and industries should also take responsibility for treating wastewater before it is 6 into the environment. 1．A．take off B．take in C．take out D．take over 2．A．activities B．situations C．conditions D．positions 3．A．transportation B．translation C．transformation D．transition 4．A．question B．matter C．problem D．issue 5．A．several B．few C．little D．much 6．A．poured B．dropped C．spread D．flowed Being curious about the world around you can boost your confidence. As a new school year begins, opening your mind to new people and experiences will help you make friends and 1 new interests. Don’t worry about it—have a go! Having an open mind and being curious means trying to understand other people’s thoughts and ideas, even if you don’t always 2 them. It also means trying new experiences and exploring different ways of doing things. You can have an open mind about anything. The new school term means there are plenty of opportunities to open your mind, find a new activity to try, make new friends and in the process, learn more about yourself. There are lots of 3 to being open-minded. Kendra Cherry is an author and expert in feelings, and she says it helps you learn new things about the world and the people around you. This makes you feel more confident and 4 about facing challenges. Having an interest in other people gives you more empathy, which means you understand and share their feelings, says Cherry. Being open to fresh ideas can also create exciting new ones of your own. Start by asking questions, says Cherry. So if you’re unsure about joining a new club, ask yourself what’s stopping you. Imagine how it feels to learn a new skill, meet new people and make friends. Don’t jump to a sudden 5 but give yourself time to think about it first. If someone says something you disagree with, then instead of deciding they are 6 or arguing back, take a moment to consider why they have that opinion. Finally, open your mind to new ideas. Even if you think you’re an expert on a subject, there is always more you can learn. 1．A．spread B．touch C．develop D．hide 2．A．argue with B．agree with C．cooperate with D．deal with 3．A．directions B．conditions C．opinions D．advantages 4．A．familiar B．pleased C．careful D．positive 5．A．decision B．understanding C．imagination D．discussion 6．A．right B．wrong C．perfect D．dramatic One day, a curious young man went to the home of Socrates (苏格拉底).

Socrates, who was known for his 2 teaching methods, simply said, “Meet me by the river tomorrow before sunrise.” The next day, the young man arrived earlier than expected. Socrates smiled and greeted him 3 . As they walked toward the rushing river, the young man felt both 4 and nervous. He couldn’t wait to succeed. Socrates continued straight into the water, and the young man 5 . When they both stood chest-deep in the river, Socrates placed his hands on the young man’s head. And without hesitation (犹豫), he forced it 6 the water. Struggling strongly, the young man realized how powerless he was. Only when his need for air became the strongest did Socrates 7 him. And the second day, the young man came again. Socrates did the same thing. 8 was the third day. Finally, very angry, the young man shouted, “Why is it that every time I come to you and ask you about the secret, all you do is bring me in the water and 9 my head in the water?” Socrates calmly replied, “Son, I have already tried three times to teach you the secret of being a great success.

As a teenager, you should drink 1.4 to 1.9 liters of water every day. Most of us get our water at a low price from our taps. But some people prefer bottled water, 1 it costs more. Bottled water first appeared in the United States in the 1760s. A company called Jackson’s Spa bottled and sold mineral water. It said that the water could “produce good effects on people’s bodies”. Since then, bottled water has become more and more 2 worldwide. People drink about 10 percent more bottled water every year. In 2019, for the first time, Americans drank more bottled water than soda. Why has bottled water become so popular? Well, this may have something to do with people’s 3 about the purity of tap water. According to one survey, 63 percent of Americans worried a lot about the safety of their drinking water. However, research suggests such worries are unnecessary. For most families, bottled water is not better than tap water. 4 , almost half of all bottled water comes from the tap. (The company may further process it, though) And when it comes to taste, most of us cannot tell the difference. Students at Boston University once conducted a blind taste test. Only a third of the taste-testers were able to correctly 5 the tap water from the samples. Making bottled water, however, requires a lot of resources. Plastic bottles are usually used only once before being thrown away. Besides, more water goes into the making of a bottle of water than simply its contents.
