Claire started reading with Zach in 2019. As a writer, she wanted to share her love of books with the boy. During their classes, Claire encouraged (鼓励) Zach to read for fun. One day, the boy asked Claire why he had to read. Claire told him he could find books on all his hobbies. “Are there books about planes, dogs or football?” Zach asked. “Yes,” Claire said. “There are books on anything you can think of.” After a few classes, Claire found their classes made a difference to Zach. One day, Zach saw a new book and it was more difficult than the one he was reading. However, he wanted to read it. “He started to choose the book he was interested in actively (主动地).

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.

My mouth dropped. “Someone stole my seeds!” Mom laughed from ear to ear. She said, “Johnny, go and check the book.” I read the book and I knew something needed to be done. Early the next morning, I ran to the backyard. Everything looked the same but I wasn’t that disappointed (失望的). As the book said, I slowly watered my seeds and put my finger in the soil (泥土) to make sure it wasn’t too dry. That evening, I couldn’t help going to check my garden again. No sign of anything green. Just dirt. The next morning I raced to the garden again. No changes. “Why is it taking so long for the seeds to grow?” I asked. “Grow up!” I shouted. “Please, just grow,” I almost cried. Mom was too busy with housework to help. “Read the book, and wait patiently.” So I read again. I removed (除去) the grass from the soil and watered the seeds. Then one morning, I walked out to my garden. I wasn’t expecting to see anything yet. To my surprise, a little bit of green came into my eyes. I got down on my knees for a closer look. “They grew!” I shouted. I could see little green leaves growing everywhere! I was so excited! “They finally grew! The book is right.

Mom would pour it all into a big bowl and add some salt on top. Later, we would all come to the living room. Dad would sit in his chair, while my mom, brothers, and I would relax on the sofa.There was always a lot of popcorn to share, and mom even let me eat the half-popped kernels (玉米粒). The funny thing is that I have already forgotten the shows we watched, but I still remember the smell of the popcorn, the warmth of the bowl, and the joy of being with my family. I felt so loved, safe and happy. We didn’t have a big house, expensive snacks or much money , but our love for each other was everything. It’s the little moments like these that matter most.

Passage 6 My grandma is a gentle old lady. Like many women of her time, she has a talent for sewing (缝纫). She made all my childhood clothes on her own. As a young girl, rather than playing outside with my friends, I liked staying with my grandmother to help her sew. I was so interested in getting the thread (线) through the eyes of the needle (针). Later, instead of making clothes, my grandmother would sew gloves or insoles (鞋垫) for me. She cannot be with me all the time, but the love passed by her needle and thread warms me.

The final result wasn’t as pretty as I had imagined, but it was the best pencil case that I could make.

Before leaving China, Castle visited Zhang’s home. “It is interesting to see a Chinese home. There are some differences between their house and my home,” Castle said. “In my home, we have lots of decorations (装饰品). But Chinese people like to put some gifts or family photos in their living room. And most of their decorations are red. They think the color can bring them good luck.” “Zhang’s parents show me great kindness and try their best to make me feel at home. Before going to their house, they showed me around their neighborhood and told me some history stories about it. Then they took me to a restaurant for lunch. They ordered many delicious dishes,” Castle said. When they got to Zhang’s home, Castle told many interesting stories to Zhang. Then the two girls found they truly had so much to talk about Chinese history. As they said goodbye late in the evening, Zhang gave a Chinese history book to Castle as a gift.

Tug-of-war (拔河) is popular in China and many other countries all over the world. However, Tug-of-war in other countries is different from China’s. There are eight players in each team. Our two teams have the same number of men or women players. The players are usually strong and heavy. In the competition, we need a long thick rope (绳子). Each team stands at one end of the rope and holds it. Then they try to pull the rope to their side. If a team pulls the center of the rope away for a certain distance, the team will win. Many experts (专家) think members in the tug-of-war team don’t need to be strong and heavy. We don’t have endless (无尽的) energy for the match. The secret is good hands.

On a safari holiday, you stay in a national park and watch the wild animals. Julie’s family did this. They camped in the middle of a national park, far from any town. There were guides with them, and the guides knew a lot about wild animals. During the day, their guides took them in a big car and they saw all kinds of animals. They saw lions, elephants, monkeys and many other wild animals. Sometimes the animals came very close to them. Once an elephant started to walk towards them, and Julie and Rick felt very scared. The guide said, “It’s all right. Don’t move, please.” He didn’t seem afraid at all. After some minutes, the elephant walked away. At night, the family slept in a tent. They could hear the noises of the animals. They said it was noisy, and sometimes they couldn’t sleep! Also, they said it was very, very hot. But they loved their holiday and are going again next year. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题，每题答案不超过8个词。 1．When did Julie and Rick travel to Kenya? 2．Did the family camp next to a town? 3．How did the guides take them to watch wild animals? 4．Why were Julie and Rick very scared? 5．Where did the family sleep at night? Passage 2 Travel used to be about sightseeing, but now it is about experiences. Nowadays, there are a lot of new ways to travel. They can bring people special experiences. “Military-style (特种兵式) travel” is one of the most popular travel ways among Chinese college students. They spend a little money traveling to as many places as they can, without having enough rest or sleep. For example, a young man called Nan Duoduo climbed the Five Great Mountains in China within only five days. “Reverse (反向的) travel” is a new fashion among young Chinese travelers. “A man moved 1 meter every 10 minutes on Mount Huangshan” became a hot topic on the Internet during last year’s National Day holiday. More and more people don’t want to go to those famous places on holiday because they are too crowded. They like to spend their free time in less popular places to make themselves relaxed. “Seal (印章)-collecting travel” means tourists collect seals while traveling. It’s really special and meaningful. People usually collect seals from places of interest, shops, and other places. Every time you open your collection, it brings back beautiful moments. The winter vacation is coming soon. Do you have any travel plans? Choose your favourite way to travel with your family! 1．How many new ways of traveling are mentioned in the passage? 2．Does “military-style travel” cost much money? 3．What place will tourists choose when they want to try “reverse travel”? 4．Which way of traveling is the best for Yaoyao if she likes seals very much? 5．Which way of traveling do you like best in the passage? Why? Passage 3 One of China’s biggest travel agencies (旅行社), Trip. com Group, recently made an app to meet the needs of some special visitors. On the app, some drivers can act as tour guides to give service to small-group visitors. Those visitors may have some special needs different from the common visitors. This new job interests many drivers and the app is not just for visitors in China, but all around the world. “We plan to get our app to more than 2, 000 places around the world. To do this, we are going to give special training (训练) and courses to around 100, 000 drivers or tour guides,” says Chen Ruiliang from the agency. The app has different modules (功能块). The working ones are: visitors’ ideas about the app and drivers’ work history. The agency is going to finish the other two parts by the end of October or early November: a job growth system and a training certification (证书) module. The app began looking for drivers and tour guides in mid-September, specially in college graduates, from many places in China and other countries, such as Chengdu, Xi’ an and Kunming, as well as London, Paris and Sydney. “We believe many users will be interested in our app and we will improve our app and work to help set good rules for this new job.” Chen says. 1．What kind of visitors is the app for? (No more than 7 words) 2．What roles does a worker of the app have? (No more than 7 words) 3．Where are the workers of the app from? (No more than 6 words) 4．How many modules of the app are working now? (No more than 5 words) 5．What does Chen think the app will be like? (No more than 3 words) Passage 4 Do you like to travel alone (独自旅行)? Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on. Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you find the inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had. And it also gives you time to think and learn. It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely (孤独的). Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel in a one-person team, you can enjoy the most interesting part of travel—talking with the locals (当地人) and meeting travelers from all over the world. In fact, traveling to know about the world is not easy. There’s lots of information to look up, tickets to buy, and things like these. And there’s another thing to worry about: Things can and often do—go wrong. One of the great things about traveling with friends is being able to help each other. It’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety (安全感). You know that if you get lost or get things lost, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to tell it to the police in another country. There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or with friends, it’s up to you. 1．What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指代)? 2．What is the most interesting part about traveling alone? 3．What does the writer think about traveling to know about the world? 4．What is good about traveling with friends? 5．Do you like to travel alone or with your friends? Why? Passage 5 Have you heard of micro-tourism (微旅行)? It is short-distance (短距离) travel. People usually drive two or three hours to a place not far away. Then they spend two or three days enjoying themselves there. They have no need to make a plan before the trip, and it doesn’t cost much. In fact, the idea of micro-tourism isn’t new. It started seven or eight years ago. But it’s getting popular these days because of COVID-19. Now more and more Chinese people choose to take short trips. Mark Hou is one of them. Before COVID-19, the 28-year-old man loved taking long trips. He liked visiting many places of interesting foreign countries. But now he has to choose a new travel style. “Travelling a long distance means that you need to take trains or planes. But it’s dangerous to do that now,” Hou said. “To stay healthy, I choose short-distance travel.” But that doesn’t mean Hou can’t have fun during his short trips. After days of work, Hou usually invites some friends to drive to the countryside at weekends. Sometimes they just bring a camera, some food and water, and walk around the mountains or parks. “When spring comes, we go to the mountains with many trees. Walking in the mountains, we can get fresh air and take exercise. Also, we can enjoy the beautiful flowers,” Hou said. “When we feel tired, we can put up a tent to rest and have a picnic. It’s really interesting.” So, you don’t need to travel far away to find a rest place. Maybe you can try micro-tourism next time. 1．What is micro-tourism? 2．When did micro-tourism start? 3．Why is micro-tourism getting popular these days? 4．How does Mark Hou take short trips now? 5．What does Mark Hou think of micro-tourism? Passage 6 At the beginning of 2024, eleven children from Nanning, a city in southern China, went on a trip to Harbin, the famous ice city in Heilongjiang Province. People online called them “little tangerines (小砂糖橘)” because they wore orange jackets. People on social media talked about these children every day. Everywhere they went, the people there treated (招待) them with love and kindness. In Harbin, they tried local food and watched fireworks in the snow. They even went to a firehouse (消防站) in Mohe, the northernmost place of China. There, they sang the national anthem (国歌) and the firemen also made snowmen for the children. The parents of these children are thankful for the support (支持) they have got from people online and friends in Northeast China. The parents chose orange jackets to keep the children safe, and the care from local people and people online made them feel warm. To thank Heilongjiang, tangerines from-Guangxi were sent to Heilongjiang Province as a gift. During the three-day New Year holiday, Harbin welcomed over 3 million visitors and made lots of money. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．Where did the eleven children from Nanning go on a trip? 2．What did they do in Harbin? 3．Who made snowmen for the children? 4．Why did the parents choose orange jackets for their children? 5．How many visitors went to Harbin during the three-day New Year holiday? 话题6 中华文化 Passage 1 When I was young, I was interested in Chinese movies because I wanted to know more about Chinese culture like Kung fu and Xiqu. I often dreamed to go to China one day. Luckily, when I was learning theater arts at university (大学) , I got a chance to study abroad. There was a programme study about Asian theater arts either in China or in India. I decided to go to China and learn Beijing Opera in a Chinese theater school. The school gave me a place to practice.

It tells an exciting story of a dangerous journey and looks at different ideas. It has been translated into many languages, showing its lasting popularity. The game is based on this Chinese classic story. Players especially those from Western countries, find the story and characters hard to understand because it is so much about Chinese culture.

They all give us ideas for making the game,” creator Feng Ji said. The game presents many ancient Chinese buildings. It makes players feel like they’re on an exciting adventure in ancient China.

Passage 4 When you travel in Chengdu, don’t forget to watch the wonderful face-changing at the local tea houses. How much do you know about this traditional skill? Let’s learn something about it. Face-changing is a special skill in Sichuan Opera. There are different characters in the play. It is also a wonderful way to show their feelings and thoughts. It is believed that the skill of face-changing started from ancient times (古代). To scare away the dangerous animals, people made themselves look scary. Later, during the Qing Dynasty, it became a famous art form and popular in Sichuan, Chongqing, and some parts of Yunnan and Guizhou. Most people just know three kinds of skills of face-changing: wiping the face (抹脸), blowing the face and pulling the face (扯脸). However, few people know breathing (呼吸). The skill pulling the face is very difficult. Under the cover of the dancing movements, the actor pulls each piece of the facial makeups which is tied with a thin thread (线). The actor must do the performance with much care and finish them in a very short time. This skill master Peng Denghuai changed 14 masks in 25 seconds. This was his latest Guinness World record. 1．What does face-changing show in a play? (no more than five words) 2．How many kinds of skills of face-changing are mentioned in the passage? (one word) 3．Where is face-changing popular? (no more than six words) 4．What does paragraph 5 talk about? (no more than three words) 5．What do you think of face-changing performers?

The Forbidden City in Beijing, a place full of history and beauty, is decorated with these special creatures. It was the home of the emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties, a long long time ago. It’s the biggest palace made of wood that’s still standing in the whole world. The dragon is a very important symbol in China, and it represents happiness and good things to come. In the Forbidden City, you can find dragons everywhere—flying in the sky, jumping on the buildings, or hiding in the small designs. They all have stories to tell from the ancient times. When you walk around the Forbidden City, you can see dragons that look like they are alive. They are made with great skill and have a lot of meaning from China’s history and culture. A photographer named Gu Caihua says that the dragons sitting on the roofs look like they are protecting the old palace. The dragons carved on the beams look like they are sharing the stories of what happened long ago. These dragons are not just for decoration; they hold the spirit of Chinese culture. They are not just pretty designs. They are also a big part of China’s history and culture. So the next time you visit the Forbidden City or see pictures of it, remember to look for the dragons. 1．What is the dragon seen as in traditional Chinese culture? 2．When was the Forbidden City the home of the emperors? 3．What do the dragons sitting on the roofs look like in Gu Caihua’s opinion? 4．Why does the writer think we should look for the dragons in the Forbidden City? 5．Do you like the dragon in traditional Chinese culture?

People think the lion dance can bring good luck and success. There are many different stories about how the lion dance began. One of them is like this: Hundreds of years ago, a monster (怪兽) called Nian came to a village in China. The villagers were afraid. A lion drove Nian away. A year later, but this time the lion couldn’t help. Because of that, the villagers made a “lion” by themselves and performed the lion dance to drive Nian away. For this reason, people began to perform the lion daance to drive bad luck away. There are some differences between the southern lion dance and the northern one. In the southern lion dance, the dancers try hard to perform like a real lion. Their “lion” may shake its body. The dance can be funny. The other kind is the northern lion dance. It has more skills like rolling, leaping and jumping. Both kinds are very interesting to watch, but it takes a lot of practice to perform well. It’s never easy to learn them. 1．When do people perform a lion dance? 2．According to the story, what was the name of the monster? 3．How did people drive Nian away a year later? 4．How many kinds of lion dances are there in China? 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 考前押题12 阅读表达6大常考话题 话题1 志愿服务 话题4 运动与健康 话题2 家人与亲人 话题5 旅行 话题3 友谊 话题6 中华文化 话题1 志愿服务 Passage 1 Claire works as a reading volunteer (志愿者) in her free time.

Passage 3 Skateboarding is a very popular game around the world. Young people like it very much. You can often see people skateboard quickly in many places, such as squares, parks and roads. Why do young people like skateboarding so much? First, it is very cool. You jump on the skateboard. You feel the wind around your ears and you can enjoy the freedom (自由) of sports. Second, skateboarding isn’t a dear game. You only need to buy a skateboard and it doesn’t cost you much money. Third, it is easy to learn. If you are brave enough, you can learn it in one week. Also, skateboarding helps to build up your body. It can make your legs and arms strong. Get a special skateboard and wear cool clothes. Quite cool, isn’t it? Tug-of-war (拔河) is popular in China and many other countries all over the world. However, Tug-of-war in other countries is different from China’s. There are eight players in each team. Our two teams have the same number of men or women players. The players are usually strong and heavy. In the competition, we need a long thick rope (绳子). Each team stands at one end of the rope and holds it. Then they try to pull the rope to their side. If a team pulls the center of the rope away for a certain distance, the team will win. Many experts (专家) think members in the tug-of-war team don’t need to be strong and heavy. We don’t have endless (无尽的) energy for the match. The secret is good hands. If the players have big and strong hands, they will hold the rope better. The experts say the farmers have the best hands for tug-of-war. Because farmers have to work very hard and farming is a good practice for tug-of-war. 1．Is skateboarding the most popular game around the world? 2．How many players are there in a tug-of-war match (比赛)? 3．Who has the best hands for tug-of-war according to the experts? 4．Do you want to learn skateboard?

Gao is not the only student to do so. Now many schools in China ask students to exercise at least three times a week during the winter holiday. Why? The PE test has more scores (分数) than before in Zhongkao. So Gao and his classmates will run if the weather is nice. On rainy or snowy days, they have to do some indoor sports. Students also need to show exercise photos in their class groups. Parents also have some jobs. They help to take photos when their children do exercise.

They spend a little money traveling to as many places as they can, without having enough rest or sleep. For example, a young man called Nan Duoduo climbed the Five Great Mountains in China within only five days. “Reverse (反向的) travel” is a new fashion among young Chinese travelers. “A man moved 1 meter every 10 minutes on Mount Huangshan” became a hot topic on the Internet during last year’s National Day holiday.

Passage 4 Do you like to travel alone (独自旅行)? Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on. Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you find the inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had. And it also gives you time to think and learn. It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely (孤独的). Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel in a one-person team, you can enjoy the most interesting part of travel—talking with the locals (当地人) and meeting travelers from all over the world. In fact, traveling to know about the world is not easy. There’s lots of information to look up, tickets to buy, and things like these. And there’s another thing to worry about: Things can and often do—go wrong. One of the great things about traveling with friends is being able to help each other. It’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety (安全感). You know that if you get lost or get things lost, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to tell it to the police in another country. There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or with friends, it’s up to you. 1．What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指代)? 2．What is the most interesting part about traveling alone? 3．What does the writer think about traveling to know about the world? 4．What is good about traveling with friends? 5．Do you like to travel alone or with your friends?

And it also gives you time to think and learn.”可知，独自旅行真的能让你知道你是什么样的人，并帮助你找到你不知道自己拥有的内在力量，也给了你思考和学习的时间；据此可以推断，划线单词“it”指代上文提到的“traveling alone”。故填Traveling alone./It refers to traveling alone. 2．根据第三段“When you travel in a one-person team, you can enjoy the most interesting part of travel—talking with the locals and meeting travelers from all over the world.”可知，当你独自旅行时，你可以享受旅行中最有趣的部分——与当地人交谈，会见来自世界各地的旅行者。故填Talking with the locals and meeting travelers from all over the world. 3．根据第四段“In fact, traveling to know about the world is not easy.”可知，通过旅行了解世界并不容易。故填It’s not easy./It’s difficult. 4．根据第四段“One of the great things about traveling with friends is being able to help each other.”和第五段“It’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety.”可知，和朋友一起旅行的好处之一就是可以互相帮助，还能给你一种安全感。故填You can help each other and travelling with friends gives you a sense of safety. 5．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：I like to travel alone better, because I can become more independent by dealing with everything by myself./I like to travel with friends, because I can share things with them and I have at least one person to depend on. Passage 5 Have you heard of micro-tourism (微旅行)? It is short-distance (短距离) travel. People usually drive two or three hours to a place not far away. Then they spend two or three days enjoying themselves there. They have no need to make a plan before the trip, and it doesn’t cost much. In fact, the idea of micro-tourism isn’t new. It started seven or eight years ago. But it’s getting popular these days because of COVID-19. Now more and more Chinese people choose to take short trips. Mark Hou is one of them. Before COVID-19, the 28-year-old man loved taking long trips. He liked visiting many places of interesting foreign countries. But now he has to choose a new travel style. “Travelling a long distance means that you need to take trains or planes. But it’s dangerous to do that now,” Hou said. “To stay healthy, I choose short-distance travel.” But that doesn’t mean Hou can’t have fun during his short trips. After days of work, Hou usually invites some friends to drive to the countryside at weekends. Sometimes they just bring a camera, some food and water, and walk around the mountains or parks. “When spring comes, we go to the mountains with many trees. Walking in the mountains, we can get fresh air and take exercise. Also, we can enjoy the beautiful flowers,” Hou said. “When we feel tired, we can put up a tent to rest and have a picnic. It’s really interesting.” So, you don’t need to travel far away to find a rest place. Maybe you can try micro-tourism next time. 1．What is micro-tourism? 2．When did micro-tourism start? 3．Why is micro-tourism getting popular these days? 4．How does Mark Hou take short trips now? 5．What does Mark Hou think of micro-tourism? 【答案】1．It is short-distance travel./Short-distance travel. 2．It started seven or eight years ago./Seven or eight years ago. 3．Because of COVID-19. 4．By car or on foot. 5．Safe./Healthy./Interesting./Relaxing. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了由于疫情，人们可以选择一种新的旅行方式，也就是短途旅行来放松自己。 1．根据“Have you heard of micro-tourism (微旅行)?

Now more and more Chinese people choose to take short trips.”可知，因为COVID-19疫情，越来越多的中国人选择进行短途旅行。故填Because of COVID-19. 4．根据“After days of work, Hou usually invites some friends to drive to the countryside at weekends. Sometimes they just bring a camera, some food and water, and walk around the mountains or parks.”可知，马克·侯现在选择在周末邀请一些朋友开车去乡下，他们有时会带上相机、食物和水，在山区或公园周围徒步行走，因此他短途旅行的交通方式是开车和步行。故填By car or on foot. 5．根据“‘...
