In summer, the sun shone brightly and the little drop 1 the lake where he lived. When he reached the sky, he became part of a small cloud. As soon as the weather turned cold, the little drop looked for a nice place of countryside where he could fall and help cover it in snow. But 2 snow fell, and as soon as he touched the ground, he melted. And there the little drop had to stay, waiting for the sun to shine again, and send him back up to the clouds. When the sun shone, the little drop reached the sky once more, turned to snow again, and down he fell. Again, just after landing, he melted. This happened several times. The little drop didn’t want to give up. But when he 3 falling down to earth again, a nice, friendly drop next to him stopped him. “Where are you going? Why don’t you join us?” Seeing how 4 the little drop looked, the friendly drop explained they were preparing for a big snowfall. “All of us here love being snow and covering the land for days; that’s why we’ve all gathered together here. Years ago, I would try doing it on my own, but I learned I couldn’t 5 it without help. I met with this nice cloud, where we all help each other a little. And thanks to our teamwork, we’ve made some of the best snowfalls ever!” A little later, both drops were flying down through the sky as snowflakes surrounded by millions and millions of other snowflakes, turning the green fields white. And with great joy, the little drop realized that when everyone worked together, they could achieve what had at first seemed 6 . 1．A．jumped into B．swam in C．rose from D．walked around 2．A．plenty of B．too much C．lots of D．only a little 3．A．stopped B．considered C．finished D．enjoyed 4．A．excited B．disappointed C．surprised D．delighted 5．A．defeat B．manage C．accept D．become 6．A．beautiful B．precious C．natural D．impossible Passage 2 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 Passage 3 In the distant past, at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn every year a bright shining star began appearing in the sky to the Southeast of Lhasa (拉萨). The appearance of this star came to signal the 1 of the Bathing Festival. There is a legend concerning the origin of this festival. Many centuries ago, there was a famous doctor who lived in the region. His name was Yutuo. Yutuo was very intelligent and had become famous for his 2 skills. He was invited to the palace by the king to serve the royal doctor. But he never stopped caring about the ordinary people in the region. One year, a horrible pandemic (流行病) hit the town. Many people got sick and died. Doctor Yutuo worked day and night, treating his patients. This heroic doctor was 3 able to save the lives of hundreds of infected (受感染的) people. Unfortunately, Yutuo passed away a few years later. Soon, another pandemic hit the region, taking the 4 of even more people. One night, a woman infected by the pandemic had a strange dream. In her dream, Doctor Yutuo told her that a bright star would appear in the Southeast sky, and, that in order to cure her disease, she needed to go to bathe in the Jiqu River after the appearance of the star. The woman woke up and carried out the advice that she had received in her dream. She was immediately 5 after immersing (浸入) herself in the river. 6 that time, every year Tibetan people have been celebrating the Bathing Festival for seven days. People jump into the nearby rivers and bathe in their waters. It is believed that bathing in river waters during these seven days brings down blessings for a healthy body and a long life. 1．A．season B．beginning C．end D．middle 2．A．teaching B．artistic C．learning D．medical 3．A．finally B．suddenly C．immediately D．rarely 4．A．homes B．dreams C．lives D．memory 5．A．worried B．cured C．sick D．excited 6．A．After all B．Until C．Ever since D．Before Passage 4 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 二、U2单元话题热点预测 Passage 1 Technology provides more than a way of communication. 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 Passage 2 DeepSeek is a leading technology company that has made very important contributions to modern 1 . By using artificial intelligence (Al), DeepSeek has developed tools that help students learn more effectively. Their platform analyzes (分析) each student’s learning habits and provides 2 study plans. This means that students can concentrate on their weaknesses and improve their strengths. One of the most impressive features of DeepSeek’s platform is its ability to 3 instant feedback (反馈). When students complete exercises, the platform immediately points out mistakes and explains how to correct them. This helps students learn faster and reduces the need for their teachers’ assistance. 4 , teachers benefit from DeepSeek’s tools. The platform allows them to check students’ progress in real-time, making it easier to 5 who needs extra help. Additionally, DeepSeek’s system generates detailed reports, saving teachers time and allowing them to focus on teaching rather than paperwork. DeepSeek’s technology has been 6 used in many schools, and the results are remarkable. Schools using DeepSeek report higher student engagement (参与) and better school performance. Students feel more confident in their abilities, and teachers can offer more targeted support. 1．A．economy B．education C．industry D．medicine 2．A．common B．public C．the same D．personal 3．A．provide B．prevent C．protect D．play 4．A．In brief B．In addition C．As a result D．On the other hand 5．A．look out B．put out C．find out D．take out 6．A．easily B．completely C．widely D．awfully Passage 3 Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语，完成短文) Years ago, the only way to get news from around the world was through newspapers. They were printed on big sheets of paper and brought to homes early in the morning or sold in shops. People would enjoy their morning coffee while reading the paper. But now, the way we read news is very different because of 1 . These days, it’s more common to read news on digital (数码的，电子的) devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops. The change from paper to screens has happened for many reasons. First, the internet lets us get news 2 . Instead of waiting for the morning paper, digital news is always there and keeps getting updated all the time. This means we can know about new events as they happen. Another big change is how easy it is to access digital news. You can read news 3 and anytime, like on a bus, in a line, or at home. This ease of access has made digital news very popular. Digital news sites also have things like videos, links, and pictures that make news more interesting. But, this new way of reading news has its problems. Screen pop-ups and digital 4 can make it hard for us to focus. Also, not everyone has digital devices or good internet, which means some people can’t get digital news. Despite these problems, more and more people are reading news digitally. This shows a big change in how we get information and 5 with the world. As technology gets better, we’ll probably see even newer ways to share and read news. It’s important to teach young readers how to use digital news in a good way. Knowing how to find trustworthy news and stay 6 among distractions (the things that take your attention away from what you’re trying to do or think about) are key skills today. Moving from paper to digital news isn’t just about using new tech. It’s about how we use information in our lives every day, showing how the way we get news is always changing. 1．A．books B．technology C．newspapers D．magazines 2．A．immediately B．possibly C．daily D．hardly 3．A．nowhere B．somewhere C．anywhere D．everywhere 4．A．news B．advertisements C．articles D．stories 5．A．conclude B．complain C．consider D．connect 6．A．focused B．worried C．surprised D．relaxed Passage 4 In today’s English class, students had a speech competition. They talked about whether e-books should take the place of print books. The following are the speeches given by two students. Joshua Lee: While many people argue that e-books don’t feel the same as “real” books, we should consider that the printing industry does a lot of harm to our 1 . Producing books means cutting down millions of trees for paper, and the processes of printing requires a great deal of energy. E-books need no papers at all. They will probably 2 our use of energy and natural resources. 3 , e-books allow people to get information more easily. E-books can be stored and selected from huge digital libraries (数字图书馆). These libraries can hold many more books than a traditional bookshop or library can. People can quickly find and read their books on an e-reader at any time and in any place. Joy Pamnani: I strongly believe that print books must 4 . In my opinion, e-books have many disadvantages. E-books aren’t as environmentally friendly as you think. A common argument used by e-book supporters is that e-books save paper. But isn’t it also true that there’s more carbon being let out by the electronic devices (电子设备)? Since you have to spend extra money on those devices before you can buy and read e-books, they aren’t 5 at all. Besides, you can’t easily write notes on an e-reader, and you can’t read anything when they run out of battery. E-books are unhealthy too. The light given off by these devices can lead to 6 problems. A study showed it took e-book readers an average of ten minutes longer to fall asleep than those who read print books. 1．A．tradition B．environment C．health D．culture 2．A．reduce B．protect C．describe D．provide 3．A．As a result B．By the way C．On one hand D．What’s more 4．A．change B．help C．stay D．return 5．A．cheap B．useful C．interesting D．different 6．A．reading B．eye C．sleep D．eating 三、U3单元话题热点预测 Passage 1 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.

She studies brain diseases that come along with aging. Her 1 is not an easy one. She is trying to understand what goes wrong with the brain over time, and how people can age in a healthy way. It is very important, especially when people are living a 2 life now. Betty does not have a natural gift (天赋) for math. She never 3 that she could be a scientist one day when she was little. Now, she has got a doctor’s degree in biology and become a famous 4 researcher. Betty has made it partly because she is curious about everything. This is a very 5 quality for a scientist. Another 6 is that she is a creative thinker. “After all, science is all about problem-solving,” Betty said. Betty thinks the best part of her research is trying out an idea to see if it will work. Her heart is filled with joy when her idea is proved right and 7 by other scientists. But when things don’t go 8 as she plans, she feels no disappointment. She says mistakes may 9 a new idea.

This curiosity can lead us to read books, 3 experiments, or have discussions with others. It makes learning 4 and exciting. Take Thomas Edison as an example. His curious mind made him 5 in everything around him. He asked questions like “Why does this work?” and “How can I make it better?” These questions 6 him to invent many important things, such as the light bulb. However, curiosity is not just about being interested in something. It also 7 having the courage to take risks and try new things.

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 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 5．C 6．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了科技为人们提供了一种交流方式，但同时也带来了一些负面影响，如减少了面对面的交流，对青少年的社交能力产生了不良影响等。不过科技也有其积极的一面，如帮助人们与远方的朋友保持联系等。最后作者强调，不要让网络成为你心灵沟通的唯一方式。 1．句意：它减少了面对面的交流，对青少年的社交能力产生了负面影响。 too太；very非常；less更少；more更多。根据“has made a negative effect on the social abilities of the teens”可知，此处表示减少了面对面的交流，用less修饰形容词often，表示“更不经常”。故选C。 2．句意：我看到青少年到处发短信。 here这里；there那里；somewhere某地；everywhere到处。根据下文“They text while talking to someone else, at the dinner table, in the car and at the movies.”可知，青少年在和别人说话时、在餐桌上、在车里、在电影院里都在发短信，由此可知他们到处都在发短信。故选D。 3．句意：正如你所见，我非常反对科技，但也有一些方法可以有所帮助。 for为了；against反对；with和……一起；behind在……后面。根据“but there are ways that help”可知，前后句意存在转折关系，前句应表示反对科技，be against表示“反对”。故选B。 4．句意：在微信的帮助下，我可以很容易地联系到他们，并问他们是否愿意亲自做点什么。 reach联系；lose失去；win赢得；control控制。根据“With the help of WeChat”可知，在微信的帮助下，应该是可以很容易地联系到朋友。故选A。 5．句意：有些人在结交新朋友方面有困难，而互联网提供了通过聊天室结识新朋友的方式。 fun乐趣；time时间；trouble麻烦；trust信任。根据“the Internet provides ways to meet new people through chat rooms”可知，互联网提供了结识新朋友的方式，由此推知有些人在结交新朋友方面有困难，have trouble doing sth.表示“做某事有困难”。故选C。 6．句意：网络关系可能是危险的，因为你永远不知道聊天的另一边是谁。 convenient方便的；dangerous危险的；important重要的；necessary必要的。根据“because you never know who’s on the other side of the chat”可知，你永远不知道聊天的另一边是谁，所以网络关系可能是危险的。故选B。 Passage 2 DeepSeek is a leading technology company that has made very important contributions to modern 1 .

But now, the way we read news is very different because of 1 . These days, it’s more common to read news on digital (数码的，电子的) devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops. The change from paper to screens has happened for many reasons. First, the internet lets us get news 2 . Instead of waiting for the morning paper, digital news is always there and keeps getting updated all the time. This means we can know about new events as they happen. Another big change is how easy it is to access digital news. You can read news 3 and anytime, like on a bus, in a line, or at home. This ease of access has made digital news very popular. Digital news sites also have things like videos, links, and pictures that make news more interesting. But, this new way of reading news has its problems. Screen pop-ups and digital 4 can make it hard for us to focus. Also, not everyone has digital devices or good internet, which means some people can’t get digital news. Despite these problems, more and more people are reading news digitally. This shows a big change in how we get information and 5 with the world. As technology gets better, we’ll probably see even newer ways to share and read news. It’s important to teach young readers how to use digital news in a good way. Knowing how to find trustworthy news and stay 6 among distractions (the things that take your attention away from what you’re trying to do or think about) are key skills today.

They will probably 2 our use of energy and natural resources. 3 , e-books allow people to get information more easily. E-books can be stored and selected from huge digital libraries (数字图书馆). These libraries can hold many more books than a traditional bookshop or library can. People can quickly find and read their books on an e-reader at any time and in any place. Joy Pamnani: I strongly believe that print books must 4 . In my opinion, e-books have many disadvantages. E-books aren’t as environmentally friendly as you think. A common argument used by e-book supporters is that e-books save paper. But isn’t it also true that there’s more carbon being let out by the electronic devices (电子设备)?
