Here’s our advice to you—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes. It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around— maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel left out (lonely) during break or lunchtime. You want to make new friends, but how do you find them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has his or her own friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends. Start by looking around your classroom— think about which kids you’d like to play with during break. Look for chances to say “hi” to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation (欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to the kids you want to play with, act in a friendly way, and say “Hi, may I join you?” or just join in. If you have trouble doing this or feel shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching people up. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Being kind, being friendly, sharing, saying nice things and offering help pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends. You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other again, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left: You can introduce him or her to your friends! 1．According to the writer, some kids feel lonely during break because they ________.

You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck. But when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability. Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He’s also a good listener. At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults. In others, he notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me. Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a hand, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me. There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same thing I like. We share experiences and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor too. He likes to laugh with me. This is how we share in the Joy of being friends, as I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.

Is it because maths is too difficult? No, it has something to do with students’ thoughts in maths classes. They never think they are in the classroom to find the beauty of maths. They think they are here to answer questions only. Maths is more about understanding it than just answering questions. In perfect maths-learning classes, students work on difficult problems. They try an idea, fail and then try another one. They know that failure is a natural part of learning. They believe they can do better than they think in maths. In fact, these students usually do better in maths. But today most students work on closed maths questions. For example, teachers usually take answers from the first student who puts up his hand. So students who think slowly often lose heart in maths. Schools should encourage teachers to change maths teaching. Teachers should ask questions that have many solutions. They should give students time to find out different solutions. In this way, maths will become a subject as it should be. When teachers set students free, the beauty of maths follows. More children will be ready to learn this subject. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By using a saying. C．By giving an example. D．By asking a question. 2．What are students who do better in maths like? A．They always think quickly. B．They are not afraid of failure. C．They never fail when working on a problem. D．They are only interested in difficult problems. 3．Why do many students not like maths according to the writer? ①Most maths questions are closed. ②Their maths classes are too difficult. ③Teachers don’t find the beauty of maths themselves. ④Students who think slowly lose heart in maths. A．②④ B．①④ C．②③ D．①③ 4．What does the writer think maths teachers should do? A．Ask questions that only have one solution. B．Help their students solve difficult questions. C．Encourage students to put up their hands in class. D．Encourage students to find out different solutions. 5．What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A．Talk about the beauty of maths. B．Introduce a new subject. C．Help students to love maths. D．Share her new ways of teaching maths. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，分析了学生不喜欢数学的原因，提出改变数学教学的建议，旨在帮助学生爱上数学这门学科。 1．推理判断题。根据“Why do many students not like maths or think it’s hard to do well in maths?”可知，作者开篇通过提出一个问题来引出文章主题，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“They know that failure is a natural part of learning.

A recent survey by China Youth Daily found that over 76% of young people in China feel their Chinese language skills are worse than before. They don’t use rhetorical techniques (修辞手法) as often anymore. People think this is because Internet emojis (表情符号) have changed the habits of how young people talk to each other. For example, when someone sees something hilarious online, they might just write “hahaha” or use the “cry-laugh” emoji. A teacher from Fuzhou tells the news that people are using fewer words nowadays. For example, young people hardly describe photos with words. They can just share them with others with an emoji to show their feelings. Also, “copy and paste” (复制粘贴) culture is getting popular. People often use words they find online without thinking much about it. Many start using the same words and sentences, such as “... yyds” (which means “... is/are the best”). Experts are worried about this situation (情况). First, if this keeps happening, it could change our way of thinking. Second, when we use words without thinking, we will become too lazy to show our real feelings. Last, if teenagers keep using emojis, they might not be able to use words well anymore. To get better at language, experts say we should try to think on our own and create our own way of talking. They also say we should read more books and stories. Professor Shen from Fudan University says, “Keep using different words to show your special feelings.” 1．What is the survey of China Youth Daily about? A．Rhetorical techniques. B．Places on the Internet. C．Chinese language skills. D．Young people’s feelings. 2．What does the underlined word “hilarious” mean? A．Funny. B．Different. C．Important. D．Educational. 3．What do paragraph 2 and 3 mainly tell us? A．The “Copy and Paste” culture. B．People’s new habits of using language. C．Reasons why young people like emojis. D．The most popular words on the Internet. 4．What will happen if young people keep using language in this way? A．They will have bad feelings. B．They will become lazy at work. C．They will not use emojis anymore. D．They will not use language in a good way. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Emojis are bad for our body and mind. B．Too much Internet hurts language use. C．Different words help show special feelings. D．Reading helps people become better at language. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讨论了互联网对年轻人语言技能的影响，包括表情符号和复制粘贴文化的普及如何改变年轻人的交流习惯，以及专家对此的担忧和建议。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A recent survey by China Youth Daily found that over 76% of young people in China feel their Chinese language skills are worse than before.”可知，《中国青年报》的调查是关于年轻人的中文语言技能。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“when someone sees something hilarious online, they might just write ‘hahaha’ or use the ‘cry-laugh’ emoji.”可知，当有人在网上看到一些有趣的事情时，他们可能会写“哈哈哈”或使用“哭笑”表情符号，因此hilarious意为“有趣的”，与funny意思相近。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“People think this is because Internet emojis have changed the habits of how young people talk to each other.”和第三段中的“Also, ‘copy and paste’ culture is getting popular.”可知，第二段和第三段主要讲述了人们使用语言的新习惯。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Last, if teenagers keep using emojis, they might not be able to use words well anymore.”可知，如果年轻人继续这样使用语言，他们可能无法很好地使用语言。故选D。 5．主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“The Internet is a great place for us to talk freely, but it’s also a place where our language skills are getting worse.”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讨论了互联网对语言使用的负面影响。故选B。 When you read something in English, you may often find a new word.

Your boat can be better if you glue the corks before that.”可知，用两根橡皮筋把它们连在一起。如果你在那之前把软木塞粘在一起，你的船会更好。由此可推测，此处that指的是上文提到的“用橡皮筋将软木塞绑在一起”这个动作。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据Steps下内容可知，造船的正确步骤是：用木棍在软木塞上打孔，即a→粘合软木塞并用橡皮筋固定，即e→用彩纸剪出帆形和三角形，即c→将三角形粘在木棍顶端作为旗子，即d→将带旗的木棍穿过帆形孔，即f→将木棍插入中间软木塞的孔中，即b。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据Tips下内容“Don’t let children play by the pool on their own.”可知，当做DIY工作时，孩子们不应该独自让船在水池中漂浮。故选B。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了如何用软木塞、彩纸等简单材料制作小船的手工教程，包含所需工具、制作步骤和安全提示。由此可推测，我们可以从海报上读到这篇文章。故选C。 Creating Nature’s Memory: A Leaf Frame DIY Experience the joy of handmade art with this simple DIY project!

Here’s our advice to you—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes. It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around— maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel left out (lonely) during break or lunchtime. You want to make new friends, but how do you find them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has his or her own friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends. Start by looking around your classroom— think about which kids you’d like to play with during break. Look for chances to say “hi” to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation (欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to the kids you want to play with, act in a friendly way, and say “Hi, may I join you?” or just join in. If you have trouble doing this or feel shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching people up. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Being kind, being friendly, sharing, saying nice things and offering help pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends. You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other again, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left: You can introduce him or her to your friends! 1．According to the writer, some kids feel lonely during break because they ________. A．have trouble with their studies B．don’t have their best friends around C．need their parents to be with them D．are too young to look after themselves 2．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refers to “________”. A．sharing your ideas B．talking in public C．studying better at school D．developing new friendships 3．Some kids need help from teachers to make friends because ________. A．they miss their old friends a lot B．they have no time to stay with others C．teachers know who wants a new friend D．they are shy or not good at making friends 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．When we feel lonely, we can try making new friends. B．Making new friends is an easy job. C．Teachers should help all students make new friends. D．New friends should soon replace old friends. In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck. But when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability. Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He’s also a good listener. At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults. In others, he notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me. Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a hand, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me. There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same thing I like. We share experiences and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor too. He likes to laugh with me. This is how we share in the Joy of being friends, as I know that he is looking for the same quality in me. When I meet someone who is reliable, honest and understanding, I know I’ve found a friend. 1．What qualities of character does the writer care about when choosing a good friend? A．Rich, can help your and understanding. B．Make you happy, helpful and honesty. C．Have fun together, understanding and reliability. D．Understanding, honesty and worth of trust. 2．Good friends need to ________.

A．the qualities of a friend B．how to get along with friends C．the importance of having a friend D．the importance of the qualities of a friend Do you have any good friends? Do you know what friendship is? Let’s learn something about friends and friendships together. How to be a good friend? Being a good listener makes your friends feel they are important. Find out your friends’ good points (优点) and tell them openly. It will help your friends become more confident.

You have a map and a compass, and you have to get to a place as fast as possible with the help of them.” “I’m Brendan. I have played handball with Newcastle Tigers for about two years.

Kai moved near Tameka. “I know you’re a wonderful dancer, and you know I do well in playing the piano. Too bad! We have to compete for the only one place,” he said. “Oh, one of us will be sad,” Tameka answered. Kai asked, “What music are you dancing to?” Tameka answered that she planned to dance to A Comme Amour. Kai planned to play a classical waltz (古典华尔兹) by Frederic Chopin. But he also knew A Comme Amour and could play it, so he told something to Tameka, and Tameka smiled. Then Ms. Spira turned to Tameka and Kai.

No, it has something to do with students’ thoughts in maths classes. They never think they are in the classroom to find the beauty of maths. They think they are here to answer questions only. Maths is more about understanding it than just answering questions. In perfect maths-learning classes, students work on difficult problems. They try an idea, fail and then try another one. They know that failure is a natural part of learning. They believe they can do better than they think in maths. In fact, these students usually do better in maths. But today most students work on closed maths questions. For example, teachers usually take answers from the first student who puts up his hand. So students who think slowly often lose heart in maths. Schools should encourage teachers to change maths teaching. Teachers should ask questions that have many solutions. They should give students time to find out different solutions. In this way, maths will become a subject as it should be. When teachers set students free, the beauty of maths follows. More children will be ready to learn this subject. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By using a saying. C．By giving an example. D．By asking a question. 2．What are students who do better in maths like? A．They always think quickly. B．They are not afraid of failure. C．They never fail when working on a problem. D．They are only interested in difficult problems. 3．Why do many students not like maths according to the writer? ①Most maths questions are closed. ②Their maths classes are too difficult. ③Teachers don’t find the beauty of maths themselves. ④Students who think slowly lose heart in maths. A．②④ B．①④ C．②③ D．①③ 4．What does the writer think maths teachers should do? A．Ask questions that only have one solution. B．Help their students solve difficult questions. C．Encourage students to put up their hands in class. D．Encourage students to find out different solutions. 5．What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A．Talk about the beauty of maths. B．Introduce a new subject. C．Help students to love maths. D．Share her new ways of teaching maths. The Internet is a great place for us to talk freely, but it’s also a place where our language skills are getting worse. A recent survey by China Youth Daily found that over 76% of young people in China feel their Chinese language skills are worse than before. They don’t use rhetorical techniques (修辞手法) as often anymore. People think this is because Internet emojis (表情符号) have changed the habits of how young people talk to each other. For example, when someone sees something hilarious online, they might just write “hahaha” or use the “cry-laugh” emoji. A teacher from Fuzhou tells the news that people are using fewer words nowadays. For example, young people hardly describe photos with words. They can just share them with others with an emoji to show their feelings. Also, “copy and paste” (复制粘贴) culture is getting popular. People often use words they find online without thinking much about it. Many start using the same words and sentences, such as “... yyds” (which means “... is/are the best”). Experts are worried about this situation (情况). First, if this keeps happening, it could change our way of thinking. Second, when we use words without thinking, we will become too lazy to show our real feelings. Last, if teenagers keep using emojis, they might not be able to use words well anymore. To get better at language, experts say we should try to think on our own and create our own way of talking. They also say we should read more books and stories. Professor Shen from Fudan University says, “Keep using different words to show your special feelings.” 1．What is the survey of China Youth Daily about? A．Rhetorical techniques. B．Places on the Internet. C．Chinese language skills. D．Young people’s feelings. 2．What does the underlined word “hilarious” mean? A．Funny. B．Different. C．Important. D．Educational. 3．What do paragraph 2 and 3 mainly tell us? A．The “Copy and Paste” culture. B．People’s new habits of using language. C．Reasons why young people like emojis. D．The most popular words on the Internet. 4．What will happen if young people keep using language in this way? A．They will have bad feelings. B．They will become lazy at work. C．They will not use emojis anymore. D．They will not use language in a good way. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Emojis are bad for our body and mind. B．Too much Internet hurts language use. C．Different words help show special feelings. D．Reading helps people become better at language. When you read something in English, you may often find a new word. What’s the best way to know its meaning? You need an English-Chinese dictionary. It can tell you a lot about the word, for example, how to read this word, what it means in Chinese and how to use this word. But there are so many English words in the dictionary. How can you find the word quickly? There is a way to look it up. In the dictionary you can first see the words beginning with the letter A, and then with B, C, D, E…That means, if there are two words “desk” and “hour”, “desk” will be before “hour”. Then if there are two words both beginning with the same letter, you may look at the second letter, and then the third letter, the fourth… For example, “before” is before “begin”. “foreign” is before “forest”, etc. The English-Chinese dictionary will be your good friend. I hope you can use it often in your English learning. 1．How can you know the meaning of a new word according to the passage? A．Ask your teacher for help. B．Think hard by yourself. C．Write it again and again. D．Look it up in an English-Chinese dictionary. 2．Here are three words, “face” “autumn” and “film”. What is the right order in the English-Chinese dictionary? A．autumn, face, film. B．film, autumn, face. C．autumn, film, face. D．face, autumn, film. 3．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．How to Write Well? B．How to Read Words Out Loud and Clear? C．How to Use an English-Chinese Dictionary? D．How to Choose a Good Dictionary? With the development of China, there is a growing need for learning Chinese. As a result, many learners of Chinese start to use online language learning apps. The apps usually offer new courses for learning Chinese. Learners can learn more about Chinese culture, such as the Spring Festival, martial arts (武术), and Peking Opera. Sixteen-year-old Isabelle comes from a French-Chinese family. She lived in China at the age of 3 to 7 before moving to the US. Three years ago, she started learning Chinese again and found that it was fun. Every day, she spends about twenty minutes practicing on a language-learning app. With her teacher from Shanghai on screen, she reads books and practices conversations. “I think Chinese will be really useful. My grandma and other family members speak it, so I hope to talk with them in Chinese,” she says. Ken, a Japanese man, uses an app to improve his Chinese twice a week. He hopes that the next time he visits his wife’s hometown of Chongqing, he’ll be able to communicate with her family members in Chinese. For now, Ken doesn’t find listening or speaking too hard, but reading and writing are difficult for him. “For me, reading is the most difficult part because many of the Chinese characters have two or three pronunciations or meanings, so I often make mistakes,” Ken says. 1．What kind of new courses do language learning apps offer?
