It was strange! I have not received a letter since I started using the email system. I read the letter carefully. The handwriting was familiar, but I was not sure who it was from. The letter told me many things I would do in the future. Here is what it said: Hi, Sarah, How are you? I miss you so much! I know you are not happy at the moment. Let me tell you something to cheer you up. Many unusual things will happen in the next 20 years. Though science is your least favourite subject, you will become better at it and even go on to study it at university. You’ll realise that you have an insatiable (无法满足的) desire for knowledge. After you finish university, you’ll travel abroad. Not only will you see many wonderful and unique places, you’ll also meet new friends from all over the world. Sometimes, you may be uncertain about your abilities, but you’ll become more confident in the future. Your family will continue to support you in everything you do. And some day, you’ll have a child of your own who you’ll love and support. I know that life can be difficult sometimes, but don’t lose heart! Try to remain positive in the face of difficulties. Believe in yourself. You can achieve much more than you imagine. I wish I could tell you more, but I have to stop here. Remember that the most important thing to do is to live every day as it happens. Don’t worry about the future and just live in the moment. While this letter was very unusual, the strangest part was at the very end. The signature was “Your Future Self”. Can you believe it? I have received a letter from the future. How far-fetched! 1．How did Sarah feel when she found a letter in the letter box? 2．What was familiar to Sarah? 3．What does the underlined word “it” mean? 4．What will happen in Sarah’s future life according to the letter?

I don’t like growing up to be an adult. Things become more difficult in the world of adults. One day, I went to buy a Christmas card. After I went into the shop, the shopkeeper showed me where to find the cards. I met a young mother and her baby there. There were a lot of toys on the shelf. The young mother passed by the shelf closely so that the little girl was able to pick up a toy. However, it seemed too difficult for the little girl to pick up a toy. Then the young mother stopped. She picked up a toy for her child and made her happy. The big smile on the face of the little girl made me think of my childhood. When I was a small child, my parents came along whenever I needed them. They solved almost every problem for me. I seemed to get lost in that happy memory. Suddenly, the young mother’s words brought me back to reality (现实). “Dear, one day, when you become an adult, I hope you can manage (处理；应对) your own life,” she said to the little girl.

Almost all children could go to school but they did not have a lot of books to read. People could go to see a doctor, and the medicines were very cheap but there were not many good medicines back then. People kept in touch with their friends and family members far away mainly by letter or telegram (电报). China has developed rapidly since the reform and opening-up (改革开放). More and more ring roads and subways have appeared and buildings in Beijing are becoming taller and brighter. People’s living conditions have improved a lot. And there are more kinds of food and clothes to satisfy people’s needs. Children can study not only in modern schools but also on the internet. People can enjoy good medical care. What’s more, communications are becoming easier and quicker — people can use telephones, cellphones, fax machines (传真机) and the internet. Beijing has made rapid progress and it has already succeeded in hosting the 2008 Olympic Games. I think it is important to remember the past, live in the present and dream about the future. 1．How long has Kangkang’s grandmother lived in Beijing? 2．What does the report say about Beijing’s education in the 1960s? 3．How did people communicate with friends far away in the 1960s? 4．What changes have happened in medical care in Beijing since the 1960s? 5．① Describe Kangkang’s feeling about the changes in Beijing using one or two adjectives (形容词). ② Use some words from the passage to support (支持) your answer.

No “nice” woman would dream of entering what was a “man’s world”. Even if she could, what would she do? Men were sure that no woman could do a job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea. When the famous Bront sisters began writing books in 1846, they disguised (隐瞒) themselves by signing their books with men’s names. Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College was the first college in America to accept women. Hospital nursing became great work for women only after Florence Nightingale became famous. Because she was a rich and cultured woman, as well as a nurse, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be “ladies”. Miss Nightingale opened England’s first training school for nurses in 1860. The invention of the typewriter in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. Because women had quick fingers, they learned to operate typewriters quickly and well. By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals, and offices in both England and America. Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea that “nice” women could work in the business world had been accepted. 1．Did women go out to work before 1800? 2．Which was the first profession open to women? 3．Who was the first woman nurse in the world? 4．Why did the Bront sisters sign their books with men’s names? 5．What do you think of the idea of women going out to work? 【答案】1．No, they didn’t. 2．Teaching. 3．Florence Nightingale. 4．Because at that time, women couldn’t do a job outside their home. 5．It is normal and beneficial for women to work. 【导语】本文讲述的是妇女从家庭主妇走向社会，走向事业的解放历程。 1．根据“Before 1800, women’s only place was in the home.”可知，在1800年之前，女性没有出去工作。故填No, they didn’t. 2．根据“Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800.”可知，第一个对女性开放的职业是教师。故填Teaching. 3．根据“Hospital nursing became great work for women only after Florence Nightingale became famous. Because she was a rich and cultured woman, as well as a nurse”可知，弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔是世界上第一位女护士，故填Florence Nightingale. 4．根据“Men were sure that no woman could do a job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea. When the famous Bront sisters began writing books in 1846, they disguised (隐瞒) themselves by signing their books with men’s names.”可知，勃朗特姐妹在她们的书上签上男人的名字是因为在那个时候，女性不能在外面工作。故填Because at that time, women couldn’t do a job outside their home. 5．本题属于开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案：It is normal and beneficial for women to work. As mobile phones grow in popularity, telephone booths have become fewer in German cities. But a new project in Berlin is hoping to turn them into shelters for another endangered technology — books. Konrad Kutt of the Institute for Sustainability in Education, Employment and Culture decided to start the BücherboXX project to improve reading in Berlin. They filled telephone booths that are about to be thrown away with books and put benches outside for people to sit down and take a reading break. “It teaches people about reusing in details. about sustainability (持续性) and also about improving learning.” said Kutt. These public bookshelves are in the streets of many volunteer groups. Each shelf holds around 200 books, it takes about six weeks to replace the old books with new ones. Each of Berlin’s three current reading booths has been colourfully painted by students who are also responsible for building the benches and bookshelves inside the booths. The telephone booths themselves were bought from telephone companies that set to just throw them away. Some community members keep an eye on the booths to prevent destroying and make sure they are often cleaned. In these libraries, people can read whatever they want to read. Local people who visit the booths are encouraged to leave one of their own books when they take a book with them. There are no sign-out sheets or rules for visitors to follow, like at a library because the BücherboXX system relies on trust and the community’s good will.   One woman named Petra Rucker. a 45-year-old social worker, stopped by to take a look at the books. “I come by here on the way to work but never have stopped by until now,” Rucker said. “It looks interesting.” This time she left without a book. “But I will certainly be back here,” she said. 1．Are telephone booths very popular in Germany?   2．How long does it take to replace the old books? 3．Why are there no sign-out sheet or rules for visitors to follow? 4．Did Petra Rucker leave the booth with a book or without a book? 5．What are the main points about the passage? 【答案】1．No./No, they aren’t. 2．(For) about six weeks. 3．Because the BücherboXX system relies on trust and the community’s good will. 4．Without a book. 5．What the BücherboXX project is and how it works. 【导语】本文主要讲诉了随着移动电话的普及，德国城市的电话亭越来越少，但是柏林的一个新项目希望把它变成另一个濒临灭绝的科技书籍的庇护所，下文具体介绍了这个新项目以及它是如何运作的。 1．根据“As mobile phones grow in popularity, telephone booths have become fewer in German cities.”可知电话亭越来越少，用否定回答。故填No./No, they aren’t. 2．根据“Each shelf holds around 200 books, it takes about six weeks to replace the old books with new ones.”可知更换旧书要花费大约6周时间。故填(For) about six weeks. 3．根据“There are no sign-out sheets or rules for visitors to follow, like at a library because the BücherboXX system relies on trust and the community’s good will.”可知是因为BücherboXX系统依赖于信任和社区的善意。故填Because the BücherboXX system relies on trust and the community’s good will. 4．根据“This time she left without a book.”可知没带一本书。故填Without a book. 5．本文主要讲诉了随着移动电话的普及，德国城市的电话亭越来越少，但是柏林的一个新项目希望把它变成另一个濒临灭绝的科技书籍的庇护所，下文具体介绍了这个新项目以及它是如何运作的。故填What the BücherboXX project is and how it works. 20 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 21 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Unit 4 Then and now 单元话题（时代变迁）阅读回答问题进阶练15篇 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练5篇 I looked into the letter box this morning and found a letter addressed to me. It was strange! I have not received a letter since I started using the email system. I read the letter carefully. The handwriting was familiar, but I was not sure who it was from. The letter told me many things I would do in the future. Here is what it said: Hi, Sarah, How are you? I miss you so much! I know you are not happy at the moment. Let me tell you something to cheer you up. Many unusual things will happen in the next 20 years. Though science is your least favourite subject, you will become better at it and even go on to study it at university. You’ll realise that you have an insatiable (无法满足的) desire for knowledge. After you finish university, you’ll travel abroad. Not only will you see many wonderful and unique places, you’ll also meet new friends from all over the world. Sometimes, you may be uncertain about your abilities, but you’ll become more confident in the future. Your family will continue to support you in everything you do. And some day, you’ll have a child of your own who you’ll love and support. I know that life can be difficult sometimes, but don’t lose heart! Try to remain positive in the face of difficulties. Believe in yourself. You can achieve much more than you imagine. I wish I could tell you more, but I have to stop here. Remember that the most important thing to do is to live every day as it happens. Don’t worry about the future and just live in the moment. While this letter was very unusual, the strangest part was at the very end. The signature was “Your Future Self”. Can you believe it? I have received a letter from the future. How far-fetched! 1．How did Sarah feel when she found a letter in the letter box? 2．What was familiar to Sarah? 3．What does the underlined word “it” mean? 4．What will happen in Sarah’s future life according to the letter?

In fact, I didn’t like going there before because it was really small and dirty there. Many people think the air in the village is usually better than that in the city. But I don’t think the same is true of my grandparents’ village because there is a small paper factory there. The air there was even worse. However, all these reasons were not the most important reasons that I didn’t want to go to my grandparents’ village. The true reason was that the life in the village was so boring that I had nothing interesting to do. But this time, I was glad to see everything different. The old paper factory closed down and the government(政府) built a new one. It’s said that it has the newest sewage treatment system(污水处理系统) in our country. It worked so well that the air became a lot cleaner. What’s more, the government built a new park there so that the villagers have a good place to relax. Now my grandparents’ village is becoming better and the villagers’ life is more colorful than before. 1．When did the writer go to the village to visit his grandparents? 2．Why was the air in the village even worse than that in the city before? 3．Did the writer have anything interesting to do in the village? 4．Who built a new park for the villagers to relax? 5．What is the villagers’ life like now?

There was a great park there before, but people cut down all the trees. It is a pity (遗憾). In the north of the town, there was a town library. It was old and small ten years ago but it is big and beautiful now. And there are more books and magazines in it. People in my town like to go there to read. There is also a new post office just across from my old school. In the center of the town, there is a big change: people can’t drive there, but can only walk or ride bikes. There are also more flowers and trees in the town center, and they are so beautiful. Another change is the number of new restaurants. There are more restaurants in my hometown.

I don’t like growing up to be an adult. Things become more difficult in the world of adults. One day, I went to buy a Christmas card. After I went into the shop, the shopkeeper showed me where to find the cards. I met a young mother and her baby there. There were a lot of toys on the shelf. The young mother passed by the shelf closely so that the little girl was able to pick up a toy. However, it seemed too difficult for the little girl to pick up a toy. Then the young mother stopped. She picked up a toy for her child and made her happy. The big smile on the face of the little girl made me think of my childhood. When I was a small child, my parents came along whenever I needed them. They solved almost every problem for me. I seemed to get lost in that happy memory. Suddenly, the young mother’s words brought me back to reality (现实). “Dear, one day, when you become an adult, I hope you can manage (处理；应对) your own life,” she said to the little girl.

I did some short interviews (采访) with people in my neighborhood to finish my history project on ways of transportation (交通). My first interview was with my friend’s grandmother, Mrs. Anderson. Question: How did you get to school when you were young? I walked to school with my friends. I enjoyed walking because we could chat on the way. I didn’t like it when it was raining. On the other hand, I became a strong walker, and I believe that’s why I’ve been healthy all my life. Question: My parents drive me to school. Why didn’t you go to school by car?

Forty years ago, Shenzhen was just a small fishing village. On Aug 26, 1980, it became China’s first Special Economic Zone(SEZ，经济特区). Everything has changed since then. People built tall buildings. On Sept 4, 1984, Shenzhen finished building the International Trade Center. It was China’s tallest building at that time. The world was surprised at how fast people built it. It took only three days to build one new floor. This speed later became known as “Shenzhen speed” and showed the city’s high efficiency(效率). The city also got the nickname of China’s “Silicon Valley”. In the 1990s, Shenzhen decided to make technology one of its main industries. Many companies that make electronic products, such as TVs, computers and mobile phones, have come to Shenzhen. The city is home to many large tech companies, including Huawei and Tencent. Because of its fast development, people from all over China came to Shenzhen to make their dreams come true. According to economist(经济学家) Zhang Weiying, of about 20 million people in Shenzhen, 65 percent of them were born or grew up elsewhere, but no one feels like an outsider. As the famous saying goes, “you become a Shenzhener once you come to Shenzhen”. 1．Is Shenzhen the first Special economic Zone in China? 2．What was China’s tallest building in 1984? 3．Why did Shenzhen get the nickname of China’s “Silicon Valley”? 4．Of all the people in Shenzhen, how many people were born or grew up elsewhere according to Zhang Weiying? 5．How do people feel when they come to Shenzhen? For Wilson, the two most important things to take with him when he travels abroad are his passport and his mobile phones. He books his plane tickets and hotel rooms through the Internet and he enters all the information into his mobile phone. “I don’t even need to print my tickets out any more,” says Wilson. “I can do everything online.” How people travel and go on holiday has changed a lot over the past years. Airlines, hotels, travel agencies all have their own websites. People can plan and book their holidays in just a few clicks (点击). Today everything is easier, faster and smarter.

Almost all children could go to school but they did not have a lot of books to read. People could go to see a doctor, and the medicines were very cheap but there were not many good medicines back then.

What’s more, communications are becoming easier and quicker — people can use telephones, cellphones, fax machines (传真机) and the internet.

The changes of the poor population in China since the poverty reduction Ardle thought China’s efforts (努力) in poverty reduction (脱贫) lead to the great changes in the countryside. “I can’t think of many changes in the world that could be greater than that, ” Ardle said. “But when I read the numbers, they didn’t surprise me because I thought when China decides to do something, everybody gets behind it. ” 1．Where does Ardle like to go to see the development of China better? 2．How many videos has Ardle posted online about his trips to villages? 3．What can we learn from Ardle’s letter to his mom? 4．Why was Ardle not surprised at the numbers in changes of the poor population in China? 5．Has your hometown changed in the last 5 years? What can you do to make your hometown better? Before 1800, women’s only place was in the home. The idea of women in the business world was unthinkable. No “nice” woman would dream of entering what was a “man’s world”. Even if she could, what would she do? Men were sure that no woman could do a job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea. When the famous Bront sisters began writing books in 1846, they disguised (隐瞒) themselves by signing their books with men’s names. Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College was the first college in America to accept women. Hospital nursing became great work for women only after Florence Nightingale became famous. Because she was a rich and cultured woman, as well as a nurse, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be “ladies”. Miss Nightingale opened England’s first training school for nurses in 1860. The invention of the typewriter in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. Because women had quick fingers, they learned to operate typewriters quickly and well. By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals, and offices in both England and America. Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea that “nice” women could work in the business world had been accepted. 1．Did women go out to work before 1800? 2．Which was the first profession open to women? 3．Who was the first woman nurse in the world? 4．Why did the Bront sisters sign their books with men’s names? 5．What do you think of the idea of women going out to work? As mobile phones grow in popularity, telephone booths have become fewer in German cities. But a new project in Berlin is hoping to turn them into shelters for another endangered technology — books. Konrad Kutt of the Institute for Sustainability in Education, Employment and Culture decided to start the BücherboXX project to improve reading in Berlin. They filled telephone booths that are about to be thrown away with books and put benches outside for people to sit down and take a reading break. “It teaches people about reusing in details. about sustainability (持续性) and also about improving learning.” said Kutt. These public bookshelves are in the streets of many volunteer groups. Each shelf holds around 200 books, it takes about six weeks to replace the old books with new ones. Each of Berlin’s three current reading booths has been colourfully painted by students who are also responsible for building the benches and bookshelves inside the booths. The telephone booths themselves were bought from telephone companies that set to just throw them away. Some community members keep an eye on the booths to prevent destroying and make sure they are often cleaned. In these libraries, people can read whatever they want to read. Local people who visit the booths are encouraged to leave one of their own books when they take a book with them. There are no sign-out sheets or rules for visitors to follow, like at a library because the BücherboXX system relies on trust and the community’s good will.   One woman named Petra Rucker. a 45-year-old social worker, stopped by to take a look at the books. “I come by here on the way to work but never have stopped by until now,” Rucker said. “It looks interesting.” This time she left without a book. “But I will certainly be back here,” she said. 1．Are telephone booths very popular in Germany?   2．How long does it take to replace the old books? 3．Why are there no sign-out sheet or rules for visitors to follow? 4．Did Petra Rucker leave the booth with a book or without a book? 5．What are the main points about the passage? 8 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 13 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
