“I wish I had straight hair”; “I’d like to be taller”. At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV and social media can give us improper ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The truth is that everybody is different and that’s a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self-confidence.
Body confidence is when someone accepts and behaves kindly towards their body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, appearance and any physical disabilities. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is “about being accepting of your body and what it does for you”.
If you feel positively (积极地) about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and perform well in school. However, feeling sad about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to get the “perfect” appearance is high. She says, “If you’re spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.”
It’s important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image, Parnell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other people’s bodies. Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you; do your legs make you run really fast?” She also suggests treating your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that you are more than how you look.
24.The writer thinks that the pictures on TV and social media ________.
A.are perfect for people to follow B.show people how to behave kindly
C.suggest everyone is different D.may spread wrong ideas of looks
25.Parnell will agree that you should ________.
A.spend more money on your appearance B.avoid talking about others’ bodies
C.accept your body as it is D.remember what you used to be like
26.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To encourage readers to take more exercise. B.To lead readers to build up body confidence.
C.To remind readers not to eat too much food. D.To advise readers to treat their friends well.
【答案】24.D 25.C 26.B
【导语】本文主要介绍了身体自信的重要性及如何培养身体自信,并建议我们善待自己的身体。
24.细节理解题。根据“the pictures we see on TV and social media can give us improper ideas about how our bodies ‘should’ look”可知,作者认为电视和社交媒体上的图片可能会传播关于外貌的错误观念。故选D。
25.细节理解题。根据“Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is ‘about being accepting of your body and what it does for you’”可知,Parnell表示,拥有身体自信就是接受自己的身体以及它对你的作用,因此Parnell会同意你应该接受你身体的本来面目。故选C。
26.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,通篇内容主要介绍了身体自信的重要性及如何培养身体自信,旨在引导读者建立身体自信。故选B。
C
Everybody has a brain (大脑), but not many people know how the brain works. Some people believe the brain is like the hard disk of a computer. We use it to store files, pictures, language (words, texts, sounds) and so on. Others think the brain to be a huge cupboard with lots of shelves and boxes in it. We put information into these boxes and hope to find it again later.
The brain is not a computer disk. And it isn’t a cupboard. Look at the picture here. It looks a bit like weeds (杂草) in a garden, doesn’t it? The picture actually shows a child’s neocortex —a part of the brain that controls sight and hearing. You can guess what happens—more “weeds” grow as the child gets older. Scientists call these neuronal (神经元的) networks. The networks grow around our neurons.
What makes them grow? Learning! “Learning is brain change,” says Professor James Zull from Case Western University in Ohio, USA.“Without learning, nothing changes in the brain. For every new word you learn in your English lesson, every problem you solve in maths, every new song you learn to sing, a neuronal network grows in your brain and the brain changes.”
The more neuronal networks we grow, the better we can think and the better we remember. You may wonder if there is anything you can do to make the networks in your brain grow better. Professor Zull says yes, there is. He says that brain change is strongest when
a) you are interested in and like what you are learning,
b) you are in control of what you learn,
c) you get challenging tasks that make you think hard.
27.What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A.Where the brain stores information. B.What people believe about the brain.
C.How people make the brain grow better. D.Why the picture of a child’s neocortex is here.
28.What can we learn from the article?
A.Our brain is full of weeds.
B.Keeping singing old songs develops our brain.
C.Learning makes our neuronal networks grow.
D.There’s nothing we can do to make us smarter.
29.What’s the best title for the article?
A.Interest is the best teacher B.Ready to take on challenges
C.Never too old to learn D.Learning really makes people clever
30.Which part of magazine is the article most probably taken from?
A.Science study. B.Green life. C.Great people. D.Art world.
【答案】27.B 28.C 29.D 30.A
【导语】本文介绍了大脑的工作原理以及如何使大脑成长的方法。
27.主旨大意题。根据“Everybody has a brain (大脑), but not many people know how the brain works.”以及整段的描述可知,第一段主要是介绍人们对大脑的看法,故选B。
28.细节理解题。根据“Learning is brain change”及“For every new word you learn in your English lesson, every problem you solve in maths, every new song you learn to sing, a neuronal network grows in your brain and the brain changes.”可知,学习会使我们的神经网络增长。故选C。
29.最佳标题题。根据“Everybody has a brain (大脑), but not many people know how the brain works.”、“What makes them grow? Learning!”以及整个文章的理解可知,文章主要是介绍大脑的工作原理以及使大脑成长的方法——学习,故选D。

One day in autumn Squire Gordon, my master, went on a trip into town. John, my caretaker, went with him. I pulled the cart. The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily.
Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much higher. My master said to John, “I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain.
We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. My master gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), and said, “Go on, Beauty.” But I dare (敢于) not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward.
“There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. “Come on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe.
Just then the man on the other side saw us.
“Hey! Stop!” he cried.
“What’s the matter?” shouted my master.
“The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.”
“Thank you for saving us, Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller.
When we returned home the Squire told Mrs Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.”

Know the purposes
37 If you’re doing a class project, you need to check the teacher’s instructions carefully and ask questions whenever something isn’t clear. There’s a popular saying: If you don’t know where you’re going, you probably won’t get there.

Make a plan
Write down a plan on paper after dividing the work. You can use a calendar to help you. List all the tasks and think about when each one must be finished. 40 And if you can’t finish your part on time, tell the others as soon as possible.
Try to be confident. Everything is easier when you believe in yourself in the team.
A.Divide the work
B.It’s important for everyone to follow the plan.
C.Here are some suggestions to make teamwork easier.
D.Hard work is the most important thing in the task.
E.There might also be a fact-checker or a group speaker.

五、读写综合
(一)阅读并回答问题。(共5小题,每小题2分,计10分)
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题,每题答案不超过6个词。
The traditional Chinese calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Start of Winter, the 19th of the year, which means the beginning of winter in Chinese culture, begins on November 7 this year. Here are some customs we Chinese people often have during this period.
Drinking mutton soup
In many places in China, there’s a tradition of “drinking mutton soup on this day, and you won’t fear the cold throughout the winter.” Mutton is rich in fats, proteins, and calories, making it a good choice when the weather gets cold. Having a bowl of mutton soup not only warms the weak body but also provides a pleasant experience.
Eating tangyuan
Eating tangyuan is a traditional custom, which is especially popular in the south of Yangtze River. “Tangyuan” is a must-have food for people there, because “Yuan” means “getting together”.
Eating dumplings
In many parts of northern China, it is a custom to eat dumplings. People in northern China eat dumplings on this day because dumplings have the meaning of “cold”, and there is still a folk saying that “the Winter Solstice misbehaves in the dumpling bowl, and the ears are frozen and no one cares (冬至不端饺子碗,冻掉耳朵没人管).”
Making winter wine
Start of Winter is a good day to start making yellow wine in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, as the water is usually clearer at this time and the low temperature restricts the growth of germs—perfect for the flavor during the fermenting process.
Besides these customs, we should also pay attention to some other things during this time. As the weather gets colder and colder, we need to wear gloves, hats and warm cotton-padded shoes to keep ourselves warm. We also need to do exercise, such as choosing some indoor sports to keep our body strong.
回答下面 5 个问题,每题答案不超过 6 个词。
61.What does the 19th solar term, Start of Winter mean?
62.When is Start of Winter this year?
63.How many customs are mentioned in this article?
64.What’s the weather like during this time?

【导语】本文主要介绍了立冬这一节气,以及立冬的一些习俗。
61.根据“Start of Winter, the 19th of the year, which means the beginning of winter in Chinese culture...”可知,立冬意味着冬天的开始。故填The beginning of winter.
62.根据“Start of Winter... begins on November 7 this year.”可知,今年的立冬节气从11月7日开始。故填On November 7.
63.根据“Drinking mutton soup” “Eating tangyuan” “Eating dumplings” “Making winter wine”可知,本文一共提到了四个立冬的习俗。故填Four./4.
64.根据“Mutton is rich in fats, proteins, and calories, making it a good choice when the weather gets cold.”和“As the weather gets colder and colder...”可知,立冬时天气很冷。故填Cold./It’s cold./The weather gets colder (and colder).
65.开放性问答,言之有理即可。根据“As the weather gets colder and colder, we need to wear gloves, hats and warm cotton-padded shoes to keep ourselves warm. We also need to do exercise, such as choosing some indoor sports to keep our body strong.”可知,立冬时,除了习俗,还可以穿保暖的衣服、锻炼身体等。故填I eat dumplings./I wear warm clothes./I do exercise.

“I wish I had straight hair”; “I’d like to be taller”. At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV and social media can give us improper ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The truth is that everybody is different and that’s a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self-confidence.
Body confidence is when someone accepts and behaves kindly towards their body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, appearance and any physical disabilities. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is “about being accepting of your body and what it does for you”.
If you feel positively (积极地) about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and perform well in school. However, feeling sad about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to get the “perfect” appearance is high. She says, “If you’re spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.”
It’s important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image, Parnell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other people’s bodies. Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you; do your legs make you run really fast?” She also suggests treating your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that you are more than how you look.
24.The writer thinks that the pictures on TV and social media ________.
A.are perfect for people to follow B.show people how to behave kindly
C.suggest everyone is different D.may spread wrong ideas of looks
25.Parnell will agree that you should ________.
A.spend more money on your appearance B.avoid talking about others’ bodies
C.accept your body as it is D.remember what you used to be like
26.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To encourage readers to take more exercise. B.To lead readers to build up body confidence.
C.To remind readers not to eat too much food. D.To advise readers to treat their friends well.
C
Everybody has a brain (大脑), but not many people know how the brain works. Some people believe the brain is like the hard disk of a computer. We use it to store files, pictures, language (words, texts, sounds) and so on. Others think the brain to be a huge cupboard with lots of shelves and boxes in it. We put information into these boxes and hope to find it again later.
The brain is not a computer disk. And it isn’t a cupboard. Look at the picture here. It looks a bit like weeds (杂草) in a garden, doesn’t it? The picture actually shows a child’s neocortex —a part of the brain that controls sight and hearing. You can guess what happens—more “weeds” grow as the child gets older. Scientists call these neuronal (神经元的) networks. The networks grow around our neurons.
What makes them grow? Learning! “Learning is brain change,” says Professor James Zull from Case Western University in Ohio, USA.“Without learning, nothing changes in the brain. For every new word you learn in your English lesson, every problem you solve in maths, every new song you learn to sing, a neuronal network grows in your brain and the brain changes.”
The more neuronal networks we grow, the better we can think and the better we remember. You may wonder if there is anything you can do to make the networks in your brain grow better. Professor Zull says yes, there is. He says that brain change is strongest when
a) you are interested in and like what you are learning,
b) you are in control of what you learn,
c) you get challenging tasks that make you think hard.
27.What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A.Where the brain stores information. B.What people believe about the brain.
C.How people make the brain grow better. D.Why the picture of a child’s neocortex is here.
28.What can we learn from the article?
A.Our brain is full of weeds.
B.Keeping singing old songs develops our brain.
C.Learning makes our neuronal networks grow.
D.There’s nothing we can do to make us smarter.
29.What’s the best title for the article?
A.Interest is the best teacher B.Ready to take on challenges
C.Never too old to learn D.Learning really makes people clever
30.Which part of magazine is the article most probably taken from?
A.Science study. B.Green life. C.Great people. D.Art world.
D
One day in autumn Squire Gordon, my master, went on a trip into town. John, my caretaker, went with him. I pulled the cart. The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily.
Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much higher. My master said to John, “I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain.
We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. My master gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), and said, “Go on, Beauty.” But I dare (敢于) not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward.
“There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. “Come on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe.
Just then the man on the other side saw us.
“Hey! Stop!” he cried.
“What’s the matter?” shouted my master.
“The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.”
“Thank you for saving us, Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller.
When we returned home the Squire told Mrs Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.”
John took me to the stable. Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired.

Do you do team projects at school? I do a lot. I enjoy team projects because I like sharing ideas with other people. Of course, team activities aren’t always easy. You need to know how to work well together. 36
Know the purposes
37 If you’re doing a class project, you need to check the teacher’s instructions carefully and ask questions whenever something isn’t clear. There’s a popular saying: If you don’t know where you’re going, you probably won’t get there.
Assign (指派) roles
Everyone should have a role in the team. For example, there should be a leader who helps everyone make decisions. There might be a note-taker who writes down the team’s ideas during meetings, and a time-keeper to control the time. 38
39
For large projects, the work can be divided into smaller tasks. Then you can choose tasks that you do well or enjoy. Of course, you shouldn’t always do the same task. It’s good to try new things, even if they’re difficult!
Make a plan
Write down a plan on paper after dividing the work. You can use a calendar to help you. List all the tasks and think about when each one must be finished. 40 And if you can’t finish your part on time, tell the others as soon as possible.
Try to be confident. Everything is easier when you believe in yourself in the team.
A.Divide the work
B.It’s important for everyone to follow the plan.
C.Here are some suggestions to make teamwork easier.
D.Hard work is the most important thing in the task.
E.There might also be a fact-checker or a group speaker.
F.Make sure everyone understands the purpose of the project.

The traditional Chinese calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Start of Winter, the 19th of the year, which means the beginning of winter in Chinese culture, begins on November 7 this year. Here are some customs we Chinese people often have during this period.
Drinking mutton soup
In many places in China, there’s a tradition of “drinking mutton soup on this day, and you won’t fear the cold throughout the winter.” Mutton is rich in fats, proteins, and calories, making it a good choice when the weather gets cold. Having a bowl of mutton soup not only warms the weak body but also provides a pleasant experience.

Eating tangyuan is a traditional custom, which is especially popular in the south of Yangtze River. “Tangyuan” is a must-have food for people there, because “Yuan” means “getting together”.
Eating dumplings
In many parts of northern China, it is a custom to eat dumplings. People in northern China eat dumplings on this day because dumplings have the meaning of “cold”, and there is still a folk saying that “the Winter Solstice misbehaves in the dumpling bowl, and the ears are frozen and no one cares (冬至不端饺子碗,冻掉耳朵没人管).”
Making winter wine
Start of Winter is a good day to start making yellow wine in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, as the water is usually clearer at this time and the low temperature restricts the growth of germs—perfect for the flavor during the fermenting process.
Besides these customs, we should also pay attention to some other things during this time. As the weather gets colder and colder, we need to wear gloves, hats and warm cotton-padded shoes to keep ourselves warm. We also need to do exercise, such as choosing some indoor sports to keep our body strong.
