So they can’t learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English. First, I think an interest in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject—English. It was fresh to me. I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was. Since then, I have been learning English harder and harder. Our English teacher often taught us English songs, and the songs sounded nice. I often think how interesting English is. Second, English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary. Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: whenever I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand it. Besides, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well. And I also do some exercises from our workbooks, and I often keep English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine. Now I have learned English for more than two years. I am always the first in our class. At last, I hope every student can learn English well. 1．Why do some students often have a headache when they learn English? 2．What should you do first if you want to learn English well according to the writer? 3．How long has the writer learned English? 4．What does the writer learn from reading English stories, jokes and easy novels? 5．What’s the writer’s good habit according to the third paragraph? Do you like remembering things? Is that difficult or easy for you? I’d like to tell you some ways to improve your memory. My first advice is that if you want to remember something well, you have to review it often. You might review the material (材料) two days after learning it, then a week later, then two weeks later, and then a month later. After a month, you will find that you can remember the material easily. My second advice is to use a colored pen to mark the important parts on your book. This will help you in two ways. First, it will help you pay attention to the most important parts when you learn something. It is always easier to remember only the key points. Second, this will make reviewing easier. When you open your book, the colored parts will show you the most important things quickly. In this way, you don’t have to review all the material again. Another piece of advice is to use the proper time well. First, review all the information in your mind before you go to sleep, because your brain is working while you are sleeping. If you think about the information before you go to sleep, you might be able to remember it better. Another good time for memorizing information is in the morning because you have just rested and your brain is fresh and clear. So you might also try to review the important information in the morning. 1．If you want to remember something well, what should you do according to the first advice? 2．How can using a colored pen help us improve our memory? (写出一个答案即可) 3．Why will we remember the information better before going to sleep? 4．What does the writer want to tell us? 5．What’s your own secret of improving your memory? (答案须与文中例句不同) 阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。 A well-known poem by Du Mu, a Tang Dynasty poet, tells of a sad scene in early April: “Rains fall heavily as Qingming comes, and passers-by with lowered spirits go.” This scene takes place on Tomb Sweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival. Tomb Sweeping Day is a traditional Chinese festival. It began in the Zhou Dynasty, over 2,500 years ago. Chinese people celebrate it to remember and honor their ancestors (祖先). Tomb Sweeping Day became a public holiday in the Chinese mainland in 2008. People have one day off on this day. On this day, families bring flowers, food and wine to the grave sites (墓地) of their ancestors. They sweep the tombs and cherish (怀念) the memories of their dead family members. Tomb Sweeping Day gives us a chance to show respect to our ancestors and family members who have passed away and show that we miss them. This tradition shows that family values are an important part of Chinese culture. Tomb Sweeping Day is also the beginning of the time for gardening and outdoor activities in China. Families get together for outings or to fly kites at this time. 1．What’s the name of the festival? 2．How long have Chinese people celebrated the festival? 3．What things do people bring to the grave sites? 4．Do you know other traditional Chinese festivals? Choose one and say something about it. Write 30 words or more. The Zhuang People’s Folk Song Festival (民歌节) is also known as Sanyuesan Festival. Last month, I had the chance to celebrate it in a small town in Guangxi. Early in the morning, people in traditional clothes got together in the town square. The festival began with a lively dance show. People held hands, forming circles and moving with the rhythm (节奏) of drums. Some even danced between bamboo sticks (棍子)—it looked difficult but fun. After that, groups of people sang folk songs. Their voices mixed well, showing love and nature. Of course, food was everywhere. Families shared plates of colorful “five-coloured rice” made with natural colors from plants. The five colors of rice mean good luck and health. I tried a sweet rice cake in leaves—it tasted like a mix of sugar and flowers. By evening, lanterns made the streets bright. Kids laughed while playing games. And old people chatted happily. I learned this festival was not only about singing and eating, but also about keeping traditions active. I left with a full stomach and a heart full of memories. The Zhuang People’s Folk Song Festival taught me how Guangxi’s culture is as colourful as its rainbow-coloured rice. 根据语篇内容，回答问题。 1．When did the writer celebrate the Sanyuesan Festival? 2．Where did people in traditional clothes get together? 3．What did groups of people do after the dance show? 4．What do the five colors of rice mean? 5．What was the festival about in the writer’s opinion? 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Qingming is China’s fifth solar term (节气), which falls on April 4, 2025. “Qingming” means the skies are clear and bright. Temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases, making it an important time for plowing (耕种) and sowing (播种) in the spring. The ancient Chinese believed that in this solar term, yin gradually decreases while yang begins to rise. An interesting saying “voles (田鼠) turn to quails (鹌鹑)” reflects this idea. The vole was believed to stand for yin probably because voles in winter stay underground. But with the temperature rising, they become more active and begin moving around on the ground. This is what quails usually do, and why they stood for yang. It’s said that in this solar term, ancient people would see quails moving in fields of grass and mistake them for voles. So this gave rise to the saying. Among the 24 solar terms, Qingming, also called Tomb-sweeping Day, stands out as the only one celebrated as an important Chinese festival. Chinese people pay respect to their ancestors with offerings and by cleaning their tombs. Many new and eco-friendly ways to celebrate Qingming have replaced the traditional practices of burning joss paper and setting off firecrackers. For example, in 2023, people at the Babaoshan Funeral Home in Beijing placed paper boats carrying wishes into a small pool. These things are made from water-soluble (可溶于水的) wood pulp (浆), with characters printed using food-grade pigments (颜料). 1．When was Qingming in 2025? 2．Why is Qingming an important time for plowing and sowing in the spring? 3．According to the passage, what would voles do with the temperature rising? 4．Among the 24 solar terms, is Qingming the only one celebrated as an important Chinese festival? 5．What do you think of people’s practices at the Babaoshan Funeral Home in 2023? There are some apologetic terms (表示歉意的用语) in English. It seems that they mean the same thing. They almost do. However, what’s the difference between “Pardon?”, “I’m sorry”, “Excuse me” and “What?”. Pardon? Americans don’t really use “Pardon?”. If you do, they will probably joke that you’re trying to sound pretentious (炫耀的) or joke that you’re British. I’m sorry. We often use “I’m sorry” for past events. That’s to say, it is generally used to apologize for something you have already done. For example, if you step on someone’s foot on a crowded bus, you would say “I’m sorry” or “Sorry”. Excuse me. This is generally a term to ask permission (允许) for something. For example, you’re walking through a crowded space and someone is in your way. You would say “Excuse me” to ask him/her to move out of your way. What? Americans usually use it to ask someone to repeat himself/herself. If you want to be politer, you could say, I’m sorry, what was that?” or “Excuse me, what did you say?” or any other such thing. Most Americans just say “What?” though. In our daily life, we can also use these terms by mixing them up. You could, for example, ask someone to move by saying “Sorry, would you mind moving?” It’s an extra-polite way to make your request. 根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 1．Who say “Pardon?” more often, Americans or the British? 2．Which term is used for future events according to the passage? 3．When do Americans usually say “What?” 4．请将画线句子翻译成汉语。 5．What is the passage mainly about? Mary was waiting for the airplane to take off. She got a seat by herself. Just then, an air hostess came up to her and asked, “Could you please change your seat? A man would like to sit with his wife.” Mary felt unhappy because the only seat was next to a girl with her arms broken, a black-and-blue face, and a sad expression. “I don’t want to sit there,” Mary thought immediately. But the air hostess said, “The girl needs help.” Finally, Mary moved to that seat. The girl was named Emily. She was hurt in a car accident and now was on her way for treatment. When the snacks and juice arrived, Mary realized that Emily could not feed herself. Mary considered offering to feed her but hesitated (犹豫的), as it seemed too impolite to offer a service to a stranger. But then Mary realized that Emily’s need was more important. Mary offered to help her eat. Although Emily was uncomfortable to accept, she agreed. They became closer and closer in a short time. Mary was very glad that she had sat next to Emily and fed her. After the five-hour trip, Mary’s heart was warm, and she had a pleasant time. Love always goes around us. We should help people in need, and our world will become more and more wonderful.Answer the questions according to the passage. 1．How did Mary feel at first when an air hostess asked her to change her seat? _____________________________________________________________________ 2．What happened to Emily? _____________________________________________________________________ 3．What did Mary do for Emily when the food arrived? _____________________________________________________________________ 4．Did Mary realize that Emily’s need was more important? _____________________________________________________________________ 5．What can we learn from the passage? _____________________________________________________________________ 阅读下文并回答问题。 On September 3rd, people felt proud and amazed when watching China’s Military Parade (阅兵式). The school magazine, News for Teenagers, asked some students to share their thoughts. Let’s have a look! Li Hua: Wow! The helicopters (直升机) changed into the number “80” in the sky. It was so cool.

She has climbed 14 of the world’s highest mountains-which are all over 8,000 meters high! Because the air is thinner, most climbers need extra oxygen to reach the tops of these mountains. However, Gerlinde is the first woman to climb all 14 mountains without extra oxygen. When Gerlinde was 13 years old, she climbed her first big mountain-Sturzhahn in Austria (2,028 meters). She became a nurse, but always had a passion (激情) for climbing. When she was 32 years old, Gerlinde climbed her fifth major mountain-Nanga Parbat in Pakistan-and decided to become a full-time mountain climber. In 2007, when Gerlinde was 37 years old, she had an accident while climbing Dhaulagiri in Nepal—the world’s seventh highest mountain. She was inside her tent one morning when an avalanche (雪崩) struck. When the avalanche stopped, it was very dark, and shé didn’t know where she was. She had a small knife and cut a hole in the tent. Slowly, Gerlinde managed to get out of the deep snow and to the surface. Gerlinde recovered from the accident. “I couldn’t stop climbing - this is my life,” she said. “A year later I returned to the same spot (地点). There was the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen.” She climbed the 14th mountain - K2, between Pakistan and China - in 2011 and set the world record. 1．Gerlinde has climbed all 14 mountains without using extra oxygen, hasn’t she? 2．When did Gerlinde climb her first big mountain? 3．Where was Gerlinde when an avalanche struck one morning? 4．How did Gerlinde manage to get out of the tent after the avalanche? 5．What can you learn from Gerlinde? Zigong, a city in Sichuan Province, is known for Chinese lanterns. Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. “Making a huge lantern for exhibition (展览) requires 17 steps”, said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker,” Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 30 makers over 50 days. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering, and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect groups of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. It is believed that the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 1．What is Zigong famous for? 2．What do you think of making a Zigong lantern for exhibition? 3．How long did it take Wan’s team to make the sundial? 4．What do the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show? 5．Are Zigong lanterns getting more and more popular abroad? 阅读下面材料，根据内容回答问题。 The Beauty of Chinese Knots (中国结) Chinese knots are traditional handicrafts with a history of over 1,000 years. They are full of cultural meaning. At first, in ancient China, these knots were used for practical things, like tying objects or recording events.

From its thousands of rooms to its many different beautiful collections, there’s no doubt it’s one of China’s most popular places for tourists. But even more than 600 years after it was built, it’s still managing to serve up surprises. Since it was built during the Ming Dynasty, it’s said that the Forbidden City has survived (幸免于难) more than 200 earthquakes. Recently, a television programmed by UK broadcaster Channel 4 has studied the skills of the ancient building’s designers. A group of Chinese engineers were shown building a model of one of the Forbidden City’s palaces, at one-fifth of the size. To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is, the model was put to a test. In the test, they simulated (模拟) an earthquake of 9.5 on the Richter scale. Instead of falling apart, the model was just moved gently during the test. According to experts, the answer to the Forbidden City’s strength, as well as other ancient Chinese structures’, lies in dougong—a centuries-old building method invented in China. This is the name for special brackets (构件) on buildings. Despite being held together without any nails or glue, the brackets are perfect at keeping structures together when the weather gets terrible. “Dougong design is an important earthquake-resistant (抗震的) feature of classical Chinese structures because the shape will be changed under pressure, much like the shock absorbers (减震器) of a car,” according to Chinese National Geography. “Ancient Chinese people created structures that were both strong and good-looking by using dougong, showing their advanced understanding of mathematics, architecture, materials, and structural science.” The Forbidden City draws visitors because of its rich history and culture, but perhaps it should add one more thing to its list of attractions: earthquake shelter. 1．When was the Forbidden City built? 2．Why was the model of a palace put to a test in the UK television programme? 3．What is dougong? 4．What is the passage mainly about? Would you like to visit the Forbidden City? Why or why not? 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Recently, an AI tool for students to study appeared. It connects modern technology with education perfectly. To our surprise, the person who invented this tool is a 13-year-old student, Qiu Yumo from Guangdong. Qiu has learned programming (编程) since she was 6. In 2023, she started a program with AI to make tools. It’s a useful online AI learning tool for students, called AI Button. “At first, I just wanted a tool to help with my studies. Then it drew attention from more people,” Qiu said about her idea. “My classmates and I want to have a learning friend to help us remember the key information. When we don’t know something, we can also ask for help at any time.” Students only need to put what they have studied into AI Button. Then AI will quickly find key points, ask questions, and answer students’ questions as well. “This AI is like a teacher because it meets students’ needs,” Qiu said. Many students loved Qiu’s AI Button. They wanted to join her to make it better. “Now I have a small team of students from different schools. From my own experience, I hope it can make more students be interested in innovative technology (科技创新).” Her dream will surely come true in the near future. 1．Who invented this AI tool for students according to the passage? 2．What does the underlined word “it” refer to? 3．Why does Qiu Yumo think this AI tool is like a teacher? 4．How does Qiu hope AI Button will make more students feel? 5．Do you want to have an AI Button? Why? 任务型阅读 Mobile phones have become a problem for some middle schools. In a middle school in Australia, students are not allowed to carry mobile phones during school hours. Mary Bluett, an official, said some schools had tried to ban (禁止) mobile phones. Some parents felt unhappy because they couldn’t get in touch with their children. Many teachers said students should not have mobile phones at school, but if there was a good reason, they could leave their phones at school office. They said there were many reasons why the students should not have mobile phones at school. For example, they were easy to lose and were a distraction (分心的事) from studies. Teachers also said that sometimes students might use phone messages to cheat during exams. Many people say that they understand why parents would want their children to have phones, but they think schools should let the students know when they can use their mobile phones. 1．When are the students not allowed to carry mobile phones in Australia? 2．How did parents feel when they couldn’t get in touch with their children? 3．Why did many teachers say that students should not have mobile phones at school? 4．Do you think that students should have mobile phones at school?

The fact is that teenagers prefer to try different things in their own ways. Parents’ hope Teenagers’ choice Sports ping-pong or table tennis (one hour a week; relaxing, safe) basketball (at least thirty minutes every day; exciting) Instruments the violin or the piano (elegant) the drums or the guitar (cool, exciting) Clothes T-shirts (clean) baggy sweaters (cool) Hair black colored Chart While having disagreements, some parents are always trying to persuade (劝说) their children to follow their ideas. In such a situation, the children have fewer and fewer chances to think about things and fight for their own ideas. They will be too lazy to think about anything. Some scientists believe teenagers should be allowed to make their own decisions in their life. In some situations, parents should take it easy when children have different ideas from them rather than be nervous. For example, the children can choose what to wear while hanging out. They should also be allowed to decide when to finish their homework by themselves. If they are allowed to make a choice or a decision, they will… So it’s high time for parents to learn to accept the fact that their children are growing up and they are able to deal with a lot of things in a proper way. They have their own ways which may be different from parents’. It’s normal because they are born in different time periods. It’s understanding that can make parents and children love each other better. 1．What are teenagers always like? 2．How many differences are shown in the Chart? Why does the writer mention them? 3．Why do teenagers become too lazy to think? 4．What will happen if teenagers are allowed to make their own choices or decisions?

Do you like remembering things? Is that difficult or easy for you? I’d like to tell you some ways to improve your memory. My first advice is that if you want to remember something well, you have to review it often. You might review the material (材料) two days after learning it, then a week later, then two weeks later, and then a month later. After a month, you will find that you can remember the material easily. My second advice is to use a colored pen to mark the important parts on your book. This will help you in two ways. First, it will help you pay attention to the most important parts when you learn something. It is always easier to remember only the key points. Second, this will make reviewing easier. When you open your book, the colored parts will show you the most important things quickly. In this way, you don’t have to review all the material again. Another piece of advice is to use the proper time well. First, review all the information in your mind before you go to sleep, because your brain is working while you are sleeping. If you think about the information before you go to sleep, you might be able to remember it better. Another good time for memorizing information is in the morning because you have just rested and your brain is fresh and clear. So you might also try to review the important information in the morning. 1．If you want to remember something well, what should you do according to the first advice? 2．How can using a colored pen help us improve our memory? (写出一个答案即可) 3．Why will we remember the information better before going to sleep? 4．What does the writer want to tell us? 5．What’s your own secret of improving your memory?

Tomb Sweeping Day is a traditional Chinese festival. It began in the Zhou Dynasty, over 2,500 years ago. Chinese people celebrate it to remember and honor their ancestors (祖先). Tomb Sweeping Day became a public holiday in the Chinese mainland in 2008. People have one day off on this day. On this day, families bring flowers, food and wine to the grave sites (墓地) of their ancestors. They sweep the tombs and cherish (怀念) the memories of their dead family members. Tomb Sweeping Day gives us a chance to show respect to our ancestors and family members who have passed away and show that we miss them.

The Zhuang People’s Folk Song Festival (民歌节) is also known as Sanyuesan Festival. Last month, I had the chance to celebrate it in a small town in Guangxi. Early in the morning, people in traditional clothes got together in the town square. The festival began with a lively dance show. People held hands, forming circles and moving with the rhythm (节奏) of drums. Some even danced between bamboo sticks (棍子)—it looked difficult but fun. After that, groups of people sang folk songs. Their voices mixed well, showing love and nature. Of course, food was everywhere. Families shared plates of colorful “five-coloured rice” made with natural colors from plants. The five colors of rice mean good luck and health. I tried a sweet rice cake in leaves—it tasted like a mix of sugar and flowers. By evening, lanterns made the streets bright. Kids laughed while playing games. And old people chatted happily. I learned this festival was not only about singing and eating, but also about keeping traditions active. I left with a full stomach and a heart full of memories. The Zhuang People’s Folk Song Festival taught me how Guangxi’s culture is as colourful as its rainbow-coloured rice. 根据语篇内容，回答问题。 1．When did the writer celebrate the Sanyuesan Festival? 2．Where did people in traditional clothes get together? 3．What did groups of people do after the dance show? 4．What do the five colors of rice mean? 5．What was the festival about in the writer’s opinion? 【答案】1．Last month. 2．In the town square. 3．They sang folk songs. 4．Good luck and health. 5．In the writer’s opinion, the festival was about keeping traditions active as well as singing and eating. 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者上个月在广西一个小镇庆祝壮族民歌节（又称三月三节）的经历，包括节日的庆祝活动、食物以及节日的意义。 1．根据文中“Last month, I had the chance to celebrate it in a small town in Guangxi.”可知，作者上个月庆祝了三月三节。故填Last month. 2．根据文中“Early in the morning, people in traditional clothes got together in the town square.”可知，穿着传统服饰的人们在镇广场集合。故填In the town square. 3．根据文中“After that, groups of people sang folk songs.”可知，舞蹈表演结束后，一群人唱起了民歌。故填They sang folk songs. 4．根据文中“The five colors of rice mean good luck and health.”可知，五色米饭的五种颜色意味着好运和健康。故填Good luck and health. 5．这是一个开放性问题，答案可以根据文章最后一段的内容来回答。故填In the writer’s opinion, the festival was about keeping traditions active as well as singing and eating. 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Qingming is China’s fifth solar term (节气), which falls on April 4, 2025. “Qingming” means the skies are clear and bright. Temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases, making it an important time for plowing (耕种) and sowing (播种) in the spring. The ancient Chinese believed that in this solar term, yin gradually decreases while yang begins to rise. An interesting saying “voles (田鼠) turn to quails (鹌鹑)” reflects this idea. The vole was believed to stand for yin probably because voles in winter stay underground. But with the temperature rising, they become more active and begin moving around on the ground. This is what quails usually do, and why they stood for yang. It’s said that in this solar term, ancient people would see quails moving in fields of grass and mistake them for voles. So this gave rise to the saying. Among the 24 solar terms, Qingming, also called Tomb-sweeping Day, stands out as the only one celebrated as an important Chinese festival. Chinese people pay respect to their ancestors with offerings and by cleaning their tombs. Many new and eco-friendly ways to celebrate Qingming have replaced the traditional practices of burning joss paper and setting off firecrackers. For example, in 2023, people at the Babaoshan Funeral Home in Beijing placed paper boats carrying wishes into a small pool. These things are made from water-soluble (可溶于水的) wood pulp (浆), with characters printed using food-grade pigments (颜料). 1．When was Qingming in 2025? 2．Why is Qingming an important time for plowing and sowing in the spring? 3．According to the passage, what would voles do with the temperature rising? 4．Among the 24 solar terms, is Qingming the only one celebrated as an important Chinese festival? 5．What do you think of people’s practices at the Babaoshan Funeral Home in 2023? 【答案】1．It was on April 4, 2025. 2．Because temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases. 3．They become more active and begin moving around on the ground. 4．Yes, it is. 5．It’s eco-friendly. 【导语】本文介绍中国节气清明，涵盖 2025 年清明日期、其对农事的重要性、古代阴阳相关说法、作为节日的祭祖习俗，以及当下环保创新的庆祝方式。 1．根据“Qingming is China’s fifth solar term (节气), which falls on April 4, 2025.”可知，2025年清明节是4月4日。故填It was on April 4, 2025. 2．根据“Temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases, making it an important time for plowing (耕种) and sowing (播种) in the spring.”可知，气温开始上升且降雨量增加，这种气候条件有利于春季的耕种和播种。故填Because temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases. 3．根据“But with the temperature rising, they become more active and begin moving around on the ground.”可知，气温上升时，田鼠会变得更加活跃并开始在地面活动。故填They become more active and begin moving around on the ground. 4．根据“Among the 24 solar terms, Qingming, also called Tomb-sweeping Day, stands out as the only one celebrated as an important Chinese festival.”可知，在 24 个节气里，清明是唯一被当作重要中国节日庆祝的。故填Yes, it is. 【点睛】根据“For example, in 2023, people at the Babaoshan Funeral Home in Beijing placed paper boats carrying wishes into a small pool. These things are made from water-soluble (可溶于水的) wood pulp (浆), with characters printed using food-grade pigments (颜料).”可知，这些做法使用了可溶于水的木浆和食品级颜料，对环境友好，是一种创新的祭祀祖先的方式。故填It’s eco-friendly. There are some apologetic terms (表示歉意的用语) in English. It seems that they mean the same thing. They almost do. However, what’s the difference between “Pardon?”, “I’m sorry”, “Excuse me” and “What?”. Pardon? Americans don’t really use “Pardon?”. If you do, they will probably joke that you’re trying to sound pretentious (炫耀的) or joke that you’re British. I’m sorry. We often use “I’m sorry” for past events. That’s to say, it is generally used to apologize for something you have already done. For example, if you step on someone’s foot on a crowded bus, you would say “I’m sorry” or “Sorry”. Excuse me. This is generally a term to ask permission (允许) for something. For example, you’re walking through a crowded space and someone is in your way. You would say “Excuse me” to ask him/her to move out of your way. What? Americans usually use it to ask someone to repeat himself/herself. If you want to be politer, you could say, I’m sorry, what was that?” or “Excuse me, what did you say?” or any other such thing. Most Americans just say “What?” though. In our daily life, we can also use these terms by mixing them up. You could, for example, ask someone to move by saying “Sorry, would you mind moving?” It’s an extra-polite way to make your request. 根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 1．Who say “Pardon?” more often, Americans or the British? 2．Which term is used for future events according to the passage? 3．When do Americans usually say “What?” 4．请将画线句子翻译成汉语。 5．What is the passage mainly about? 【答案】1．The British. 2．“Excuse me” is used for future events. 3．They usually say “What?” to ask someone to repeat himself/herself. 4．美国人通常用它来让别人重复他/她自己（的话）。 5．The differences among some apologetic terms in English. 【导语】本文主要讲述了英语中一些表示歉意的用语的区别。 1．根据文中“Americans don’t really use ‘Pardon?’. If you do, they will probably ... joke that you’re British.”可知，英国人更加经常用“pardon？”，故填The British. 2．根据文中“For example, you’re walking through a crowded space and someone is in your way. You would say ‘Excuse me’ to ask him/her to move out of your way.”可知，“Excuse me”被用在未来的事件中，故填“Excuse me” is used for future events. 3．根据文中“Americans usually use it to ask someone to repeat himself/herself.”可知，当他们想要别人重复他/她的话的时候，通常会说“What”，故填They usually say “What?” to ask someone to repeat himself/herself. 4．分析句子可知，本句是陈述句，Americans翻译为“美国人”；usually翻译为“通常”；use it to ask someone翻译为“用它来要求别人”；repeat himself/herself翻译为“重复他/她自己（的话）”，故填“美国人通常用它来让别人重复他/她自己（的话）。” 5．根据文中“However, what’s the difference between ‘Pardon?’, ‘I’m sorry’, ‘Excuse me’ and ‘What?’.”以及全文可知，本文主要讲述了英语中一些表示歉意的用语的区别。故填The differences among some apologetic terms in English.

From its thousands of rooms to its many different beautiful collections, there’s no doubt it’s one of China’s most popular places for tourists. But even more than 600 years after it was built, it’s still managing to serve up surprises. Since it was built during the Ming Dynasty, it’s said that the Forbidden City has survived (幸免于难) more than 200 earthquakes. Recently, a television programmed by UK broadcaster Channel 4 has studied the skills of the ancient building’s designers. A group of Chinese engineers were shown building a model of one of the Forbidden City’s palaces, at one-fifth of the size. To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is, the model was put to a test. In the test, they simulated (模拟) an earthquake of 9.5 on the Richter scale. Instead of falling apart, the model was just moved gently during the test. According to experts, the answer to the Forbidden City’s strength, as well as other ancient Chinese structures’, lies in dougong—a centuries-old building method invented in China. This is the name for special brackets (构件) on buildings. Despite being held together without any nails or glue, the brackets are perfect at keeping structures together when the weather gets terrible. “Dougong design is an important earthquake-resistant (抗震的) feature of classical Chinese structures because the shape will be changed under pressure, much like the shock absorbers (减震器) of a car,” according to Chinese National Geography. “Ancient Chinese people created structures that were both strong and good-looking by using dougong, showing their advanced understanding of mathematics, architecture, materials, and structural science.” The Forbidden City draws visitors because of its rich history and culture, but perhaps it should add one more thing to its list of attractions: earthquake shelter. 1．When was the Forbidden City built? 2．Why was the model of a palace put to a test in the UK television programme? 3．What is dougong? 4．What is the passage mainly about? Would you like to visit the Forbidden City? Why or why not? 【答案】1．More than six hundred years ago./During the Ming Dynasty. 2．To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is. 3．A centuries-old building method invented in China. 4．It’s mainly about a special building method used in ancient Chinese buildings and its advantages. Yes, I’d like to visit the Forbidden City because I can learn about a centuries-old building method invented in China and I can also experience its long history and rich culture. 【导语】本文介绍了故宫在经历600多年仍能屹立不倒的秘密——中国古代建筑的“斗拱”结构，并讲述了这一结构在抗震方面的独特作用。 1．根据“But even more than 600 years after it was built, it’s still managing to serve up surprises.”可知，紫禁城修建于600多年前的明朝。故填More than six hundred years ago./During the Ming Dynasty. 2．根据“To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is, the model was put to a test.”可知，模型被测试是为了展示中国古代建筑的坚固性。故填To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is. 3．根据“dougong—a centuries-old building method invented in China”可知，斗拱是一种古老的中国建筑方法。故填A centuries-old building method invented in China. 4．开放性试题，回答合理即可。参考答案为：It’s mainly about a special building method used in ancient Chinese buildings and its advantages. Yes, I’d like to visit the Forbidden City because I can learn about a centuries-old building method invented in China and I can also experience its long history and rich culture. 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Recently, an AI tool for students to study appeared. It connects modern technology with education perfectly. To our surprise, the person who invented this tool is a 13-year-old student, Qiu Yumo from Guangdong. Qiu has learned programming (编程) since she was 6. In 2023, she started a program with AI to make tools. It’s a useful online AI learning tool for students, called AI Button. “At first, I just wanted a tool to help with my studies.

In such a situation, the children have fewer and fewer chances to think about things and fight for their own ideas. They will be too lazy to think about anything. Some scientists believe teenagers should be allowed to make their own decisions in their life. In some situations, parents should take it easy when children have different ideas from them rather than be nervous. For example, the children can choose what to wear while hanging out.
