There might be some incorrect usages which can make us confused. Wang Lan, 15 If we are not good at memorizing English words, we can look up their meanings online very soon. It helps us finish reading the English articles more smoothly. Meng Hao, 14 My paper dictionary is a great friend for me. Whenever I don’t know the meaning of a new word, I can learn it well by understanding the notes and the example sentences in the paper dictionary. Tian Xiao, 13 I don’t like carrying a heavy dictionary wherever I go. It’s really convenient to learn a language with the help of an online dictionary. Using an online dictionary makes a more effective learner. If you want to share your opinions, please mail us at 19765443562youthdaily@163.com.

Now, five years later, Arsh has sold 500 paintings and brought in $15,000. Almost every dollar of this income (收入) has gone to charities. When Arsh was a little boy, his parents introduced him to many activities. The boy, however, was interested in none of them. Things changed when he got a watercolor set for his eighth birthday. Arsh began to spend all his free time in front of an easel (画架). “That was how I started painting.” he said. Soon, Arsh finished many paintings. They took up a lot of space in his room. The boy decided to give them away to his friends. Around the same time, Arsh visited a nursing home (养老院). The experience made him think about selling his artworks to help other people. So he began his money raising project. He sells his paintings at local art shows, restaurants and libraries, as well as on the Internet. Small pieces have been sold for $10 each. Larger ones (about 150 cm tall and wide) have been sold for more than $800 each. “How amazing Arsh is!” said Jolene Schaver, one of Arsh’s neighbors. “It’s hard to believe that this is being done by a child.” The woman has five of Arsh’s paintings hanging in her home. Arsh has a gift for art, but it is his big heart that is a real gift for others. 1．Arsh raised $15,000 for charities at the age of ________ .

Have you ever enjoyed watching the short videos on Douyin? Well, if no one had invented the cell phone, none of these would have been possible. Luckily, someone did invent the cell phone. That person is Martin Cooper. Cooper used to work for Motorola. The company (公司) was competing with AT&T. Cooper didn’t think Motorola’s product was good enough. He didn’t like AT&T’s idea of a car phone, either. He wanted to give the world something new and make people talk on their phones anywhere. After that, it took Cooper and his team 90 days to design (设计) the world’s first cell phone, DynaTAC． People could talk on it for 25 minutes before its battery died. The phone’s short battery life wasn’t a big problem, Cooper once joked. Why? Well, the phone was too heavy to hold in hand for more than 25 minutes! On April 3, 1973, Cooper made the world’s first cell phone call. He called the AT&T manager. On the other end of the line, there was only silence. Cooper made it! People could talk on their phones anywhere finally. Cell phones are much smaller and can do much more things than before. Cooper, now 94, also was surprised at the great progress. So we should always keep learning in our life, or we’ll lose the ability to learn. 1．If you want to ride a Hello Bike, what do you need? A．Nothing. B．A coin.

A．Easier said than done. B．It is never too old to learn. C．Failure is the mother of success. Passage 10 There are many different traditional festivals in China. All the festivals have their special celebrating ways and show traditional culture. As Chinese, we should learn more about them and spread (传播) the traditional culture around the world. The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. It’s on the first day of the first lunar month. On the eve of the festival, people often put up spring poems with lucky words and prepare delicious dumplings. Family members will come back to get together for a big dinner. They exchange greetings with other friends and relatives. They also clean their houses, but there is no sweeping on the Spring Festival because people think it will sweep away the good luck. The Lantern Festival is on January 15th in the lunar calendar. During the Lantern Festival, people eat yuanxiao and hang out with family to watch lanterns. The biggest and most beautiful lantern is the dragon lantern, which looks like a flying dragon held by several young men. Some lanterns have puzzles on them, called lantern puzzles. People are happy to guess the puzzles. The Dragon Boat Festival is on May 5th in the lunar calendar. The beginning of this festival is in memory of Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet (爱国诗人). People threw zongzi into the river to show their respect for Qu Yuan in old days. In recent China, people also eat zongzi at the Dragon Boat Festival. What’s more, on this day, people often walk out of their houses to watch the Dragon Boat Race. 1．During the first lunar month ________.

A．Travel. B．Culture. C．Sports. 题型3 说明文 Passage 1 So far, China has successfully sent a large number of satellites (卫星) and spaceships into space. Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e 1. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. Kua Fu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kua Fu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called Kua Fu Mission. Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2,000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology. 1．What do we know about Chang’e 1 according to the passage? A．It moves around the moon. B．It “visits” the sun with the scientists. C．It is the world’s first man-made satellite. 2．How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 4? A．By listing numbers. B．By comparing facts. C．By giving an example. 3．Which is the right structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②= Paragraph 2, ...) A． B． C． 4．What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing the passage? A．To spread the traditional Chinese culture. B．To introduce the achievements in our science and technology. C．To tell how traditional Chinese culture influences our space science. Passage 2 Most environmental pollution comes from humans and their inventions. The electric bulbs are thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time. However, too much of a good thing has started to negatively impact the environment. Light pollution, the extreme or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial (人造的) light, is affecting human health and wildlife behavior. There is a global movement to reduce light pollution, and everyone can help. Light pollution is a global issue. This became especially obvious when the World Atlas (地图册) of Night Sky Brightness, a computer-generated map based on thousands of satellite photos, was published in 2016. Vast areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia are glowing with light, while only Siberia, the Sahara, and the Amazon are in total darkness. Artificial light can wreak havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals. It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm (生理节奏)— the internal, twenty-four-hour clock that guides day and night activities and affects physiological (生理的) processes in nearly all living organisms. One of these processes is the production of the hormone melatonin (褪黑素), which is released when it is dark and is stopped when there is light. An increased amount of light at night lowers melatonin production, which results in lack of sleep, headaches, stress, anxiety, and other health problems. Blue light, in particular, has been shown to reduce levels of melatonin in humans. It is found in cell phones and other computer devices, as well as in LEDs, the kinds of bulbs that have become popular at home and in industrial and city lighting due to their low cost and energy efficiency. Studies show that light pollution is also impacting animal behaviors, such as migration (迁徙) patterns and habitat formation. Because of light pollution, sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration get confused, lose their way, and often die. Even animals living under the deep sea may be affected by underwater artificial lighting. One study looked at how animals in sea responded to brightly lit panels put under water off the coast of Wales. Fewer filter feeding animals (滤食性动物), such as the sea squirt (海鞘), made their homes near the lighted panels. This could mean that the artificial light is changing ocean ecosystems. The good news is that light pollution, unlike many other forms of pollution, is reversible (可逆的) and each one of us can make a difference! Now, many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky. Individuals are required to use outdoor lighting only when and where it is needed, to make sure outdoor lights are properly shielded (遮挡) and direct light down instead of up into the sky, and to close window blinds, shades, and curtains at night to keep light inside. 1．What does the underlined phrase “wreak havoc on” in Para.3 probably mean? A．Improve greatly. B．Maintain Well. C．Manage strictly. D．Damage seriously. 2．According to the passage, which would the author agree with? A．Light pollution was first studied as a global issue in 2016. B．Deep-sea environment can help animals avoid light pollution. C．Artificial light affects the sense of direction and habits of animals. D．LEDs can be used more because of low cost and energy efficiency. 3．What is the author’s attitude towards the control of light pollution? A．Uncertain. B．Doubtful. C．Worried. D．Hopeful. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To call on people to reduce light pollution. B．To discuss pros and cons of artificial light. C．To give suggestions to protect environment. D．To show future development of artificial light. Passage 3 There is a saying that cats have nine lives. A recent study examined why. Scientists carried out a study of cats which had fallen out of the windows of buildings. Nine out of ten remained alive after a fall of two storeys or more. One cat which fell from the thirty-second floor of a building only broke a tooth. Interestingly, the cats were in the greatest danger of being killed if they fell from the seventh floor. Falling from either a less or greater height gave them a better chance of survival (幸存). Damage to a body depends on how fast it hits the ground, which in turn depends on how far it has fallen. But it’s not quite that simple, because, as an object falls through the air, the air holds it back and slows the object down. After a while the object stops accelerating and continues at a fixed (稳定的) speed. This is the terminal (极限的) speed. Bulky (肥胖的) things have a lower terminal speed because there is a larger area for the air to push up on. Heavy things have a higher terminal speed because they push down harder against the air. Cats have a lower terminal speed than falling people, for example, because they are quite bulky and not very heavy so that they hit the ground more slowly and are less likely to be hurt. Then why does the seventh floor matter? This is the distance cats take to reach their terminal speed. After the seventh floor, they may relax and spread out their legs and change their falling position so that they may land on their feet. This would slow them down and allow their muscles to reduce the force of impact, and thus reduce the damage. 1．The scientists came to a conclusion (结论) that a fall from __________ floor was most likely to kill a cat. A．the second B．the thirty-second C．the seventh D．the higher 2．The underlined word “accelerating” in the second paragraph probably means ________. A．moving faster B．moving slower C．moving at a fixed speed D．moving at a normal speed 3．Falling cat has a lower terminal speed than a falling man because it is ________. A．bigger but heavier B．bigger and relatively (相对地) lighter C．lighter but relatively bigger D．smaller and lighter 4．A fall from higher than a seventh floor allows the falling cat __________. A．to have time to reduce its falling speed B．to relax and spread out its legs and to land in a safer position C．to fall slower than from the sixth floor D．to be able to reach the ground softly on its back Passage 4 Shadow plays (皮影戏) are an ancient way of storytelling. But the old art can’t attract the young. Many of them show no interest in it. That’s why Liu Chaokan has decided to offer new ideas and tell new stories in the traditional way of storytelling. Liu Chaokan is the sixth-generation inheritor (第六代传人) of shadow plays in Liujiazhai, Yunnan Province. Inside his shadow play theater, there are many puppets (木偶). Of them all, you can easily find puppets of Monkey King, Guan Yu and Hua Mulan. Liu has asked many college students to join him in remaking those old stories. By adding something new to old stories, he hopes the young will like his shows. Boonie Bears, Ne Zha, and Pleasant Goat... You can find popular cartoon characters in Liu’s shows. According to Liu, they’re his secret to making children fall in love with his shows. “Since they know little about those old stories, why don’t we show them the cartoon characters they love in the shadow play show?” said Liu. Short video sharing platforms (平台) like TikTok are Liu’s new way to let the young know about shadow plays. Many of his fans have come to his theater to watch shows. Liu is trying his best to keep the old art young. He said, “We should keep its traditions, but at the same time, we should think of new ideas for it.” 1．What does the underlined word “attract” in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese? A．代表 B．吸引 C．教导 D．影响 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．What cartoon characters Liu likes. B．How much children know about old stories. C．What does Liu do to get children interested in his shows. D．How many cartoon characters there are in Liu’s shows. 3．We can infer that ________. A．Liu probably thinks TikTok is helpful B．we can find popular cartoon characters in Liu’s shows C．many children want to learn shadow plays now D．only children like to watch shows 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Old art, young blood B．A way of story telling C．When shadow plays meet cartoons D．He brings shadow plays to the world Passage 5 Chongqing’s Ciqikou Ancient Town is a national 4A-level tourist attraction, drawing over 16 million visitors every year. With over 1,800 people living there and more than 50,000 visitors coming daily, it experiences great population pressure and safety challenges. Ciqikou has over 650 wooden buildings, which reflect China’s long and rich history and culture. But these old houses made of wood can catch fire easily. So fire risks are a big challenge Ciqikou faces. Li Cheng, a member of the Party Committee and Organization Committee from Ciqikou Street was in an interview with the Bridging News. When asked what was the most important part of their work in Ciqikou, he answered, “Fire prevention is always our top priority.” To do this, they have developed an AI-powered fire automatic early warning system, which is a smart system with cameras and sensors (传感器) to discover fires quickly. They put up tall “eyes in the sky”, cameras, and sensors all over the place, making a 3D network to sense fires and leaving no blind spots. If any of these sensors or cameras discover a fire, they will send a warning to the local control center and the small fire stations nearby, so that firefighters can rush to the fire scene to put out the fire. If the fire is too serious for the firefighters to control by themselves, the control center will make quick decisions to help the firefighters. This way, everyone can work together to solve the problem quickly. Li Cheng said, “Thanks to this smart fire warning system, we have already received about 1,093 warnings and we can usually reach the fire scene within 6 minutes.” “We believe that the combination (结合) of modern technology and human effort is the key to protecting Ciqikou,” Li Cheng concluded. “We are confident that with these methods in place, we can not only protect the town’s valuable cultural heritage (遗产) but also ensure (确保) the safety of all who come to visit or live here.” 1．Why is fire prevention a big challenge Ciqikou faces? A．Because there are so many people living there. B．Because there are so many tourists visiting it. C．Because there aren’t enough people working there. D．Because there are so many wooden buildings there. 2．Which of the following shows how the AI-powered system works when there is a serious fire? a. A warning is sent to the control center and the small fire stations nearby. b. Firefighters rush to the fire scene to put out the fire. c. The control center makes quick decisions. d. Some sensors or cameras discover a fire. A．adbc B．adcb C．dabc D．dacb 3．Which of the following meanings can best explain the underlined word “priority” in Paragraph 3? A．The right of a car to go before other traffic at a special place on a road. B．Something that you think is the most important and should be dealt with first. C．Something new and difficult which requires great effort and determination. D．Difficulties and feelings of stress that are caused by the need to do something. 4．What does Li Cheng think is the key to protecting Ciqikou? A．Modern technology. B．Firefighters. C．Human effort. D．The combination of modern technology and human effort. Passage 6 When talking about picking a right school, a mother and teacher gave some pieces of advice. In one issue (期) of Youth magazine, the mother shared the advice she gave her daughters with young people across the country. “I’ve told my daughters many times that I don’t want them to choose a name,” the mother said. “I don’t want them to think, ‘Oh, I should go to these top schools.’ We live in a country with hundreds of excellent universities. So the first question is: What’s going to work for me?” “When it was time to prepare for picking schools, nobody around me believed I could get into Xiamen University. But through hard work I finally made it,” she continued. “So, my second piece of advice is: Believe in yourself, no matter what other people might say. Once your goal (目标) is set, you only need to try your best to make it come true.” “The last piece of advice is not to be worried even if your dreams don’t come true. As I’ve said above, there are so many good universities out there. So it’s important for everybody to understand that you can always find a university that gives you a great education.” 1．The mother shared her advice ________. A．with her students B．with her husband C．in Youth magazine D．in Xiamen University 2．To explain her second piece of advice, the mother gave ________. A．a story of her daughters B．a story of her own C．some different ideas D．some different reasons 3．We can learn from the last paragraph that ________. A．we can realize our dream through hard work B．the name of the university isn’t the most important C．it’s not necessary to care about what other people might say D．more than one university can give us a good education 4．The best title of the passage may be “________”. A．Colorful University Life B．Advice on School Picking C．Best School Education D．A Report on University Building Passage 7 You might think that you don’t have time to sit down and create something every day. This is when it is important to know the difference between using creativity and actually creating something. In a lot of ways, creativity is all about how you see things. You can use creativity to write poems, but you can also use it in practical ways like coming up with a solution for a project or organizing things in your home. The next time you think you are not creative, take a step back and take a look at what you do in your daily lives. You might be surprised at how often you are using creativity. As children, we are highly creative and imaginative. We often act on our impulses (冲动): speaking our thoughts out loud as they come into our heads, and letting our imaginations inform many of our actions. But as we grow older, we are taught to control these impulses. This is generally a good thing—a world without impulse control would be a place without order. After we say “no” to our impulses, it can be difficult to start following them again in a creative sense. One way to make your inhibition (抑制) less is through free writing. When you have a free writing, you write continuously for a period of time without worrying about the topic or being “correct”. It is also important to remind yourself that there is no perfection. If you try to find the “right way” to do something, you limit your creative potential (潜质). When you get a creative impulse, don’t push it away or say “no”. Try saying “yes, and…” instead. This encourages you not only to accept an idea but also to develop it. The “yes, and…” mindset allows you to take impulses, and give them consideration and room to grow. Creativity plays an important role in our daily lives. Following your creative impulses can potentially help improve things like your performance and your ability. It is easy to get used to worrying that your ideas are not good enough or that people won’t like them. But if you are able to trust and follow your impulses, it can help you to overcome those barriers (障碍). 1．According to the passage, we are using creativity when we ________. A．copy down a famous poem B．follow others’ advice without thinking C．receive our friends’ letters D．set up a reading area at home 2．What does the word “inform” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Pay a close attention to. B．Have an influence on. C．Make preparation for. D．Show some interest in. 3．Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A．We should keep reminding ourselves of the right way to do things. B．Free writing can be used to help us focus on the writing topic. C．We need to learn more about how to control our impulses. D．The “yes, and…” mindset is needed to develop a new idea. 4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To compare using creativity and actually creating something. B．To encourage us to spend more time creating special things. C．To give advice on discovering our unused creativity. D．To prove the importance of becoming creative. Passage 8 The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handicraft. It has a history of over 1,000 years in China. In the early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. Later, oil paper umbrellas were spread to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. They were turned into decorative artifacts (装饰手工制品). Yuhang in Hangzhou has been known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo and a coating of tung oil (桐油). They need to take even more than 70 steps to make, including making bamboo ribs, pasting papers and painting patterns. It takes at least a week to make an umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to the Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录) of China. A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to promote (推广) the art. 1．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．Hand-made oil paper umbrellas. B．Silk umbrellas. C．Steel-ribbed umbrellas. 2．Yuhang oil paper umbrellas are made of ________. A．paper, steel ribs and bamboo skin B．pasting papers, bamboo ribs and painting patterns C．skin paper, bamboo and a coating of tung oil 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．The oil paper umbrellas are popular around the world. B．It is easy to make a Yuhang oil paper umbrella. C．The oil paper umbrellas made by Liu are lighter. 4．The writer writes the text to ________. A．tell us the story of Liu Weixue B．teach us how to make oil paper umbrellas C．introduce oil paper umbrellas to us Passage 9 Do you like eating eggs? We can use eggs to cook lots of delicious dishes. However, it would be dangerous to eat bad eggs. They can cause some terrible health problems. It’s important for us to find bad eggs. Here are two ways. Smell Bad eggs have a terrible smell. You can break an egg and pour it into a bowl. If the egg smells bad, throw it away. Float (漂浮) test Before breaking the egg, we can use the floating way. Prepare a bowl of water and place the egg in it slowly. 1. If it lies at the bottom, it is a very fresh egg. 2. If it stands at the bottom, you have an old but safe egg to eat. 3. If it floats in the water, you can still eat the egg if you don’t mind the taste. 4. If it floats on the water, just throw the egg away. It has gone bad! 1．What does the writer think of finding bad eggs? A．Dangerous. B．Important. C．Terrible. 2．How can we tell if an egg is bad? A．By tasting it. B．By touching it. C．By floating it. 3．Peter got a stomachache after eating an egg this morning. Which egg might he eat? A． B． C． 4．This text is probably from a ________. A．letter B．notice C．textbook Passage 10 Falling on the 24th day of the sixth lunar (农历) month, the Torch (火把) Festival is an important and traditional event for the Yi ethnic group (彝族) in Southwest China. Cheering, singing and dancing, local Yi people and the tourists usually have fun around the fire during the three-day celebration. The Yi ethnic group started the festival because of their natural respect of fire. The early Yi people lived in high and cold areas in the mountains. For them, fire was an important way to light, warm, and cook. There was an old tradition—before bringing meat home, people must light a small fire outside the door and put the meat over the fire. They believed it could drive away filth (污秽). That’s why they had a popular saying, “Everything you eat must ‘see’ fire”. In farming, fire was used to light leaves on the ground to make the land rich. Nowadays, the Yi people still celebrate the festival and it has become a social event. Every year, several thousand Chinese and foreign visitors come and join the local Yi people. In the daytime, they drink and take part in different kinds of activities, like horse racing, bullfighting and so on. When the night falls, everyone holds a torch and walks around their houses and fields. Then, they put the torches together to make a big bonfire. Around the bonfires young men and women sing and dance happily. For thousands of years, the Yi’s torch is passed from age to age. Through the festival, the Yi people not only share their joy and thanks for their good life, but also get more people to understand their traditions. 1．The Torch Festival is celebrated ________. A．in Northeast China B．for three days C．by most ethic groups 2．What does the saying “Everything you eat must ‘see’ fire” mean? A．People could see the food more clearly over the fire.

Paper dictionaries and online dictionaries are often great choices for us. Here is what some students think of the two kinds of dictionaries.

It helps us finish reading the English articles more smoothly. Meng Hao, 14 My paper dictionary is a great friend for me. Whenever I don’t know the meaning of a new word, I can learn it well by understanding the notes and the example sentences in the paper dictionary. Tian Xiao, 13 I don’t like carrying a heavy dictionary wherever I go. It’s really convenient to learn a language with the help of an online dictionary. Using an online dictionary makes a more effective learner. If you want to share your opinions, please mail us at 19765443562youthdaily@163.com.

He was excited. Because Grandma didn’t give her other grandsons such an invitation. As soon as Jimmy stepped into the studio, he began to look forward to putting his hands into some wet clay (黏土) and placing his bowl into the heated kiln (窑). “Be careful with that,” Grandma said, as Jimmy picked up one of her bowls. The boy carefully put the bowl back on the table. Then Grandma showed him some of her bowls and asked him to make one himself. Jimmy started happily. However, five hours later, Jimmy was sad, “His first bowl, a blue one, looked more like a rock. His second bowl, a red one, was hardly any better.” “I’ll never make it!” Jimmy said angrily, looking at his work. Hearing this, Grandma stopped what she was doing and went to Jimmy. After seeing what he had made, she said, “Don’t worry. You just need a little patience.” She sat next to Jimmy and helped him with his work. About one and a half hours later, they finished making a beautiful yellow bowl together. Jimmy was happy seeing his work. “Thanks,” he said to Grandma.

He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “At the beginning of the class, let me tell you a story”, he said. ③“When I went to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a piece of paper folded in half, wrote their names in bold (用粗体) with the most eye-catching color, and then placed the paper on the seat. So when the speaker needed answers from the students, he could see and call their names directly. ④“My classmates told me that the speakers were all top people who meant chances. When your answer was excellent, it means they might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students get great chances because of that.” ⑤After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself.

Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e 1. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. Kua Fu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kua Fu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called Kua Fu Mission. Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2,000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology. 1．What do we know about Chang’e 1 according to the passage? A．It moves around the moon. B．It “visits” the sun with the scientists. C．It is the world’s first man-made satellite. 2．How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 4? A．By listing numbers. B．By comparing facts. C．By giving an example. 3．Which is the right structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②= Paragraph 2, ...) A． B． C． 4．What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing the passage? A．To spread the traditional Chinese culture. B．To introduce the achievements in our science and technology. C．To tell how traditional Chinese culture influences our space science. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了嫦娥一号、“玉兔号”月球车、“墨子号” 空间量子科学实验卫星等与中国古代传统文化之间的渊源，表明了我国传统文化对太空技术的深远影响。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e 1.”可知，嫦娥一号绕月运行。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2,000 years ago.

The electric bulbs are thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time. However, too much of a good thing has started to negatively impact the environment. Light pollution, the extreme or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial (人造的) light, is affecting human health and wildlife behavior. There is a global movement to reduce light pollution, and everyone can help. Light pollution is a global issue. This became especially obvious when the World Atlas (地图册) of Night Sky Brightness, a computer-generated map based on thousands of satellite photos, was published in 2016. Vast areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia are glowing with light, while only Siberia, the Sahara, and the Amazon are in total darkness. Artificial light can wreak havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals. It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm (生理节奏)— the internal, twenty-four-hour clock that guides day and night activities and affects physiological (生理的) processes in nearly all living organisms. One of these processes is the production of the hormone melatonin (褪黑素), which is released when it is dark and is stopped when there is light. An increased amount of light at night lowers melatonin production, which results in lack of sleep, headaches, stress, anxiety, and other health problems. Blue light, in particular, has been shown to reduce levels of melatonin in humans. It is found in cell phones and other computer devices, as well as in LEDs, the kinds of bulbs that have become popular at home and in industrial and city lighting due to their low cost and energy efficiency. Studies show that light pollution is also impacting animal behaviors, such as migration (迁徙) patterns and habitat formation. Because of light pollution, sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration get confused, lose their way, and often die. Even animals living under the deep sea may be affected by underwater artificial lighting. One study looked at how animals in sea responded to brightly lit panels put under water off the coast of Wales. Fewer filter feeding animals (滤食性动物), such as the sea squirt (海鞘), made their homes near the lighted panels. This could mean that the artificial light is changing ocean ecosystems. The good news is that light pollution, unlike many other forms of pollution, is reversible (可逆的) and each one of us can make a difference! Now, many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky. Individuals are required to use outdoor lighting only when and where it is needed, to make sure outdoor lights are properly shielded (遮挡) and direct light down instead of up into the sky, and to close window blinds, shades, and curtains at night to keep light inside. 1．What does the underlined phrase “wreak havoc on” in Para.3 probably mean?

Now, many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky.”可知，作者认为光污染可逆，人们能有所作为，很多人已在行动，所以作者对光污染控制持乐观态度。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。文章介绍光污染危害后，着重强调人们可采取行动减少光污染，如合理使用户外照明等，目的是呼吁人们减少光污染。故选A。 Passage 3 There is a saying that cats have nine lives. A recent study examined why. Scientists carried out a study of cats which had fallen out of the windows of buildings. Nine out of ten remained alive after a fall of two storeys or more. One cat which fell from the thirty-second floor of a building only broke a tooth. Interestingly, the cats were in the greatest danger of being killed if they fell from the seventh floor. Falling from either a less or greater height gave them a better chance of survival (幸存). Damage to a body depends on how fast it hits the ground, which in turn depends on how far it has fallen. But it’s not quite that simple, because, as an object falls through the air, the air holds it back and slows the object down. After a while the object stops accelerating and continues at a fixed (稳定的) speed. This is the terminal (极限的) speed. Bulky (肥胖的) things have a lower terminal speed because there is a larger area for the air to push up on. Heavy things have a higher terminal speed because they push down harder against the air. Cats have a lower terminal speed than falling people, for example, because they are quite bulky and not very heavy so that they hit the ground more slowly and are less likely to be hurt. Then why does the seventh floor matter? This is the distance cats take to reach their terminal speed. After the seventh floor, they may relax and spread out their legs and change their falling position so that they may land on their feet. This would slow them down and allow their muscles to reduce the force of impact, and thus reduce the damage. 1．The scientists came to a conclusion (结论) that a fall from __________ floor was most likely to kill a cat. A．the second B．the thirty-second C．the seventh D．the higher 2．The underlined word “accelerating” in the second paragraph probably means ________. A．moving faster B．moving slower C．moving at a fixed speed D．moving at a normal speed 3．Falling cat has a lower terminal speed than a falling man because it is ________. A．bigger but heavier B．bigger and relatively (相对地) lighter C．lighter but relatively bigger D．smaller and lighter 4．A fall from higher than a seventh floor allows the falling cat __________. A．to have time to reduce its falling speed B．to relax and spread out its legs and to land in a safer position C．to fall slower than from the sixth floor D．to be able to reach the ground softly on its back 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了猫从高处坠落时生存率较高的原因，并解释了猫的终端速度（terminal speed）以及第七层楼对猫坠落危险性的特殊影响。 1．细节理解题。根据“Interestingly, the cats were in the greatest danger of being killed if they fell from the seventh floor.”可知，第七层楼对猫最危险。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“as an object falls through the air, the air holds it back and slows the object down. After a while the object stops accelerating and continues at a fixed (稳定的) speed”可知，当一个物体在空中坠落时，空气会阻止它并减缓物体的速度，过了一会儿，物体停止加速，继续以固定的速度前进，所以划线部分的含义是“加速”。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Cats have a lower terminal speed than falling people, for example, because they are quite bulky and not very heavy…”可知，猫的特点是“体型较大但相对较轻”。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“After the seventh floor, they may relax and spread out their legs and change their falling position so that they may land on their feet.”可知，从更高处坠落时，猫有时间调整姿势以减少冲击力。故选B。 Passage 4 Shadow plays (皮影戏) are an ancient way of storytelling.

Many of his fans have come to his theater to watch shows.”可知，像抖音这样的短视频分享平台成为了刘向年轻人普及皮影戏的新途径。他的许多粉丝都来到他的剧院观看表演。由此可知，刘可能认为抖音很有帮助。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了皮影戏和其第六代传人刘朝侃将皮影戏与现代化的表达手法相结合，给皮影戏注入新的血液。选项A“古老的艺术，年轻的血液”符合主题，故选A。 Passage 5 Chongqing’s Ciqikou Ancient Town is a national 4A-level tourist attraction, drawing over 16 million visitors every year. With over 1,800 people living there and more than 50,000 visitors coming daily, it experiences great population pressure and safety challenges. Ciqikou has over 650 wooden buildings, which reflect China’s long and rich history and culture. But these old houses made of wood can catch fire easily. So fire risks are a big challenge Ciqikou faces. Li Cheng, a member of the Party Committee and Organization Committee from Ciqikou Street was in an interview with the Bridging News. When asked what was the most important part of their work in Ciqikou, he answered, “Fire prevention is always our top priority.” To do this, they have developed an AI-powered fire automatic early warning system, which is a smart system with cameras and sensors (传感器) to discover fires quickly. They put up tall “eyes in the sky”, cameras, and sensors all over the place, making a 3D network to sense fires and leaving no blind spots. If any of these sensors or cameras discover a fire, they will send a warning to the local control center and the small fire stations nearby, so that firefighters can rush to the fire scene to put out the fire. If the fire is too serious for the firefighters to control by themselves, the control center will make quick decisions to help the firefighters. This way, everyone can work together to solve the problem quickly. Li Cheng said, “Thanks to this smart fire warning system, we have already received about 1,093 warnings and we can usually reach the fire scene within 6 minutes.” “We believe that the combination (结合) of modern technology and human effort is the key to protecting Ciqikou,” Li Cheng concluded. “We are confident that with these methods in place, we can not only protect the town’s valuable cultural heritage (遗产) but also ensure (确保) the safety of all who come to visit or live here.” 1．Why is fire prevention a big challenge Ciqikou faces? A．Because there are so many people living there. B．Because there are so many tourists visiting it. C．Because there aren’t enough people working there. D．Because there are so many wooden buildings there. 2．Which of the following shows how the AI-powered system works when there is a serious fire? a. A warning is sent to the control center and the small fire stations nearby. b. Firefighters rush to the fire scene to put out the fire. c. The control center makes quick decisions. d. Some sensors or cameras discover a fire. A．adbc B．adcb C．dabc D．dacb 3．Which of the following meanings can best explain the underlined word “priority” in Paragraph 3? A．The right of a car to go before other traffic at a special place on a road. B．Something that you think is the most important and should be dealt with first. C．Something new and difficult which requires great effort and determination. D．Difficulties and feelings of stress that are caused by the need to do something. 4．What does Li Cheng think is the key to protecting Ciqikou? A．Modern technology. B．Firefighters. C．Human effort. D．The combination of modern technology and human effort. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了重庆磁器口古镇面临的人口压力大、安全挑战大，尤其是火灾风险高的问题。当地通过开发人工智能火灾自动预警系统，利用摄像头和传感器及时发现火灾，并与当地控制中心和小型消防站联动，确保能够迅速应对火灾，保护古镇的文化遗产和居民游客的安全。 1．细节理解题。根据“Ciqikou has over 650 wooden buildings...But these old houses made of wood can catch fire easily. So fire risks are a big challenge Ciqikou faces.”可知，磁器口有很多木质建筑，这些木质建筑容易着火，所以防火是磁器口面临的一大挑战。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“If any of these sensors or cameras discover a fire, they will send a warning to the local control center and the small fire stations nearby, so that firefighters can rush to the fire scene to put out the fire. If the fire is too serious for the firefighters to control by themselves, the control center will make quick decisions to help the firefighters.”可知，当有严重火灾时，先是传感器或摄像头发现火灾，然后向控制中心和附近的小型消防站发送警报，接着消防员冲向火灾现场灭火，如果火势太严重，控制中心会迅速做出决策。所以顺序是dabc。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据“When asked what was the most important part of their work in Ciqikou, he answered, ‘Fire prevention is always our top priority.’”以及前文提到磁器口火灾风险高，可知这里说的是防火是最重要的事情，应该首先处理。所以“priority”意思是“你认为最重要且应该首先处理的事情”。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“We believe that the combination (结合) of modern technology and human effort is the key to protecting Ciqikou”可知，李成认为现代科技与人类努力的结合是保护磁器口的关键。故选D。 Passage 6 When talking about picking a right school, a mother and teacher gave some pieces of advice.

So the first question is: What’s going to work for me?” “When it was time to prepare for picking schools, nobody around me believed I could get into Xiamen University. But through hard work I finally made it,” she continued. “So, my second piece of advice is: Believe in yourself, no matter what other people might say. Once your goal (目标) is set, you only need to try your best to make it come true.” “The last piece of advice is not to be worried even if your dreams don’t come true. As I’ve said above, there are so many good universities out there.

This is when it is important to know the difference between using creativity and actually creating something. In a lot of ways, creativity is all about how you see things. You can use creativity to write poems, but you can also use it in practical ways like coming up with a solution for a project or organizing things in your home. The next time you think you are not creative, take a step back and take a look at what you do in your daily lives. You might be surprised at how often you are using creativity. As children, we are highly creative and imaginative. We often act on our impulses (冲动): speaking our thoughts out loud as they come into our heads, and letting our imaginations inform many of our actions. But as we grow older, we are taught to control these impulses. This is generally a good thing—a world without impulse control would be a place without order. After we say “no” to our impulses, it can be difficult to start following them again in a creative sense. One way to make your inhibition (抑制) less is through free writing. When you have a free writing, you write continuously for a period of time without worrying about the topic or being “correct”. It is also important to remind yourself that there is no perfection. If you try to find the “right way” to do something, you limit your creative potential (潜质). When you get a creative impulse, don’t push it away or say “no”. Try saying “yes, and…” instead. This encourages you not only to accept an idea but also to develop it. The “yes, and…” mindset allows you to take impulses, and give them consideration and room to grow. Creativity plays an important role in our daily lives. Following your creative impulses can potentially help improve things like your performance and your ability. It is easy to get used to worrying that your ideas are not good enough or that people won’t like them. But if you are able to trust and follow your impulses, it can help you to overcome those barriers (障碍). 1．According to the passage, we are using creativity when we ________. A．copy down a famous poem B．follow others’ advice without thinking C．receive our friends’ letters D．set up a reading area at home 2．What does the word “inform” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Pay a close attention to. B．Have an influence on. C．Make preparation for. D．Show some interest in. 3．Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A．We should keep reminding ourselves of the right way to do things. B．Free writing can be used to help us focus on the writing topic. C．We need to learn more about how to control our impulses. D．The “yes, and…” mindset is needed to develop a new idea. 4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To compare using creativity and actually creating something. B．To encourage us to spend more time creating special things. C．To give advice on discovering our unused creativity. D．To prove the importance of becoming creative. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文主要探讨了创造力在日常生活中的运用以及如何激发和释放创造力的方法。 1．推理判断题。根据“You can use creativity to write poems, but you can also use it in practical ways like coming up with a solution for a project or organizing things in your home.”可推知，创造力可以是为一个项目想出一个解决方案，或者在家里整理东西。选项D “在家中设置一个阅读区” 属于在家中整理物品、规划空间的范畴，是对创造力的实际运用。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“We often act on our impulses (冲动): speaking our thoughts out loud as they come into our heads, and letting our imaginations inform many of our actions.”可知，此处描述了我们小时候常常凭冲动行事，当想法进入脑海时就大声说出来，并且让我们的想象力影响我们的许多行为。inform意为 “对……有影响”。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“The ‘yes, and…’ mindset allows you to take impulses, and give them consideration and room to grow.”可知，当我们有了创造性冲动时，应该尝试用“yes, and…”的思维方式，这种思维方式不仅能让我们接受一个想法，还能进一步发展它，给予冲动以思考和成长的空间，所以作者很可能会认同 “发展一个新想法需 “yes, and…” 的思维方式”。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据通读全文可知，全文围绕如何发现我们未被充分利用的创造力展开，给读者提供了一些关于发现自身创造力的建议，所以作者写这篇文章的主要目的是就发现我们未被使用的创造力给出一些建议。故选C。 Passage 8 The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handicraft. It has a history of over 1,000 years in China. In the early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. Later, oil paper umbrellas were spread to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. They were turned into decorative artifacts (装饰手工制品). Yuhang in Hangzhou has been known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo and a coating of tung oil (桐油). They need to take even more than 70 steps to make, including making bamboo ribs, pasting papers and painting patterns. It takes at least a week to make an umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to the Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录) of China. A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to promote (推广) the art. 1．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．Hand-made oil paper umbrellas. B．Silk umbrellas. C．Steel-ribbed umbrellas. 2．Yuhang oil paper umbrellas are made of ________. A．paper, steel ribs and bamboo skin B．pasting papers, bamboo ribs and painting patterns C．skin paper, bamboo and a coating of tung oil 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．The oil paper umbrellas are popular around the world. B．It is easy to make a Yuhang oil paper umbrella. C．The oil paper umbrellas made by Liu are lighter. 4．The writer writes the text to ________. A．tell us the story of Liu Weixue B．teach us how to make oil paper umbrellas C．introduce oil paper umbrellas to us 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国传统手工艺品油纸伞的历史和制作工艺。 1．词句猜测题。根据“However, as steel-ribbed umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. They were turned into decorative artifacts (装饰手工制品).”可知，随着上个世纪钢骨伞的出现，手工制作的油纸伞在日常生活中越来越少使用，“它们”变成了装饰手工制品。可以推断“They”指代“手工制作的油纸伞”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo and a coating of tung oil (桐油).”可知，余杭油纸伞主要由皮纸、竹子和一层桐油制成。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas.”可知，Liu用一种较轻的竹子做油纸伞。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据“The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handicraft.”和全文内容可知，作者写这篇文章是为了向读者介绍油纸伞。故选C。 Passage 9 Do you like eating eggs?

It has gone bad!”可知，如果鸡蛋浮在水面上，就说明它变质了，所以不能吃这种鸡蛋。根据题意，皮特胃疼应该是吃了变质的鸡蛋。故选A。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了区分好鸡蛋和坏鸡蛋的方法，是一篇科普文，所以有可能来自一本课本。故选C。 Passage 10 Falling on the 24th day of the sixth lunar (农历) month, the Torch (火把) Festival is an important and traditional event for the Yi ethnic group (彝族) in Southwest China. Cheering, singing and dancing, local Yi people and the tourists usually have fun around the fire during the three-day celebration. The Yi ethnic group started the festival because of their natural respect of fire. The early Yi people lived in high and cold areas in the mountains. For them, fire was an important way to light, warm, and cook. There was an old tradition—before bringing meat home, people must light a small fire outside the door and put the meat over the fire. They believed it could drive away filth (污秽). That’s why they had a popular saying, “Everything you eat must ‘see’ fire”. In farming, fire was used to light leaves on the ground to make the land rich. Nowadays, the Yi people still celebrate the festival and it has become a social event. Every year, several thousand Chinese and foreign visitors come and join the local Yi people. In the daytime, they drink and take part in different kinds of activities, like horse racing, bullfighting and so on. When the night falls, everyone holds a torch and walks around their houses and fields. Then, they put the torches together to make a big bonfire. Around the bonfires young men and women sing and dance happily. For thousands of years, the Yi’s torch is passed from age to age. Through the festival, the Yi people not only share their joy and thanks for their good life, but also get more people to understand their traditions. 1．The Torch Festival is celebrated ________.
