Brainstorming
Group brainstorming sessions are a great way to bring your students together to connect with whatever they are learning. Instead of thinking about the topic alone at their desk, they get to expand (详述) their ideas with other students in small groups. Use brainstorming worksheets for this activity idea.
Debating
Most students will have a view of what they’re learning. Use this to your advantage and create a school activity of debating the pros or cons of whatever they are learning about. Get them to write down their main points on pieces of paper ahead so they can practice and be prepared for the debate. This can be done in front of the whole class and you can change the debaters each week.

28-year-old Ren makes handcrafted wooden plaques (匾牌) and sells them to customers in the United States, Singapore, and other countries. Surrounded by piles of wood waiting to be reused, Ren turns rough pine and beech into custom wooden signs for restaurants, unique homestays, and campgrounds.
After graduating in 2017 and stepping into the highly competitive online clothing industry, Ren realized he needed to find a specialized market. His solution: custom wooden plaques. He founded a company in 2022. “Each piece is tailor-made. It’s nearly impossible to find the same product on the market,” Ren explained. “The price per order attracts quality customers who place large orders.”
Last year, his craft earned him over $688,000 — a success he owed to his much attention to detail and commitment to perfection. “We work with over 10 different types of wood. Every step, from design and cutting to carving, coloring and painting, is crucial,” he said.
International orders began with a midnight message from an American client two years ago. After producing five design variants, Ren waited by his screen for hours without receiving any feedback. “I later realized it was simply the time difference,” he recalled.
Another memorable project was for an American restaurant owner who initially requested four window-like plaques, each about 1.2 meters in diameter. After presenting several design drafts that showcased traditional techniques and craftsmanship, the impressed client increased the order to six pieces. “The owner went on to refer several other American customers to me,” said Ren.
He believes that in the custom business, long-term relationships are key — each satisfied customer becomes a brand ambassador. Ren’s small but dedicated (专心致志的) team of eight continues to breathe life into wood, with his plaques now decorating numerous businesses abroad.
4. Why did Ren choose to enter the custom wooden plaque business?
A. To avoid the competition in the previous field. B. To spread wooden plaques abroad.
C. To teach traditional woodworking. D. To enjoy different types of wood.
5. What is the key to Ren’s success in his business?
A. The unique design software he uses. B. His ability to speak multiple languages.
C. His focus on detail and pursuit of perfection. D. The large number of employees in his company.
6. Why did the restaurant owner raise the order to six plaques?
A. He enjoyed the design for the plaques. B. He was impressed by Ren’s sincerity.
C. He was persuaded by other clients. D. He got a discount from Ren.
7. What does Ren think is the most important in the custom business?
A. Offering the lowest price to customers. B. Producing products as quickly as possible.
C. Using the most expensive wood materials. D. Building lasting relationships with customers.

Researchers have some new evidence about what makes birds make so much noise early in the morning, and it’s not for some of the reasons they previously thought. For decades, a popular theory about why birds sing at dawn — called the dawn chorus (合唱) — has been that they can be heard farther and more clearly at that time. Sound travels faster in humid (温暖潮湿的) air and it’s more humid early in the morning. It’s less windy, too, which is thought to lessen any distortion (失真) of their sounds.
But scientists in India studied audio (声音的) recordings of birds in the rainforest. They said they didn’t find proof to support this idea about sound traveling better. It was one of the ideas about environmental factors. Another idea is that birds sing at dawn because it’s too dark to look for food.
“We didn’t find much support for some of these environmental reasons suggested in past studies for birds singing more at dawn,” said Vijay Ramesh, a researcher at Cornell University.
The researchers didn’t find one clear reason why the dawn chorus happens, but they found some support for the ideas that the early morning noise is about birds marking their territory after being inactive at night and talking about finding food.
The team analyzed recordings from audio recorders placed at 43 locations in the Western Ghats mountain range in southern India, which is known as a biodiversity hotspot. They examined sounds of what they determined were 69 different species of birds. They studied recordings from the hours around dawn and the hours around dusk to compare activities.
Unsurprisingly to anyone who’s been roused by bird calls, the vast majority of species they studied had significantly higher vocal activities at dawn compared to dusk.
8. Why did Indian scientists conduct research on birds in the rainforest?
A. To record the sounds of rare bird species. B. To prove sound travels faster in humid air.
C. To explore the reasons for birds’ dawn chorus. D. To find out the best time for the dawn chorus.
9. What can be inferred from the findings of the study?
A. Birds’ dawn singing may serve social functions. B. The old theory about dawn chorus is true.
C. Birds are less active at dusk due to light. D. All birds sing to mark territory at dawn.
10. What was the researchers’ approach in the study?
A. They observed birds’ feeding habits in the morning.
B. They conducted experiments in a laboratory setting.
C. They tracked birds’ movements in different countries.
D. They analyzed audio recordings from tens of locations.
11. What does the underlined word “roused” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Reminded. B. Waken up. C. Threatened. D. Stirred up.
D
Microplastics (tiny, microscopic bits of plastic) have been found almost everywhere researchers look, including the human body. Microplastics and their even tinier cousins, nanoplastics, are probably flowing through your blood and building up in your organs (器官) like the lungs and liver. Now, a new study is linking microplastics to increased heart attack and stroke risk.
“There are some microplastics in normal, healthy arteries (动脉),” said Dr Ross Clark, a researcher who led the study. “But the amount there is really, really different when they become diseased with symptoms.”
Clark and his team measured microplastics and nanoplastics in the dangerous, fatty plaque that can build up in arteries, block blood flow, and cause strokes or heart attacks. Compared to the walls of healthy plaque-free arteries, plaque buildup had 16 times more microplastics — just in the people who didn’t have symptoms. In people who had experienced stroke, mini-stroke, or vision loss, the plaque had 51 times more microplastics.
Previous research had found that people with microplastics in their arterial plaque were more likely to have a heart attack or die. To investigate why, Clark studied samples (样本) from 48 people’s carotid arteries, the pair of superhighways in your neck that channel blood to your brain. The difference in the number of microplastics surprised him, but his team found another concerning trend, too. Cells in the plaque with lots of microplastics showed different gene activity from those with low microplastics.
In the high-plastic environment, one group of immune cells had switched off a gene that’s associated with turning off inflammation (炎症). Clark’s team also found genetic differences in a group of stem cells thought to help prevent heart attacks and strokes by reducing inflammation and stabilizing plaque.
“Could it be that microplastics are somehow changing their gene expression?” Clark said. “There’s more research needed to fully establish that, but at least it gives us a hint as to where to look.”
12. How might people feel about microplastics linked to disease?
A. Indifferent. B. Concerned. C. Optimistic. D. Confused.
13. What does Clark’s comparison of microplastic levels show?
A. Microplastics in healthy arteries are fatal. B. Healthy arteries contain no microplastics.
C. Microplastic levels are related to arterial health. D. Nanoplastics aren’t present in diseased arteries.
14 What does the study suggest about microplastics’ potential effect?
A. They reduce the risk of strokes. B. They are beneficial to turning off inflammation.
C. They directly block blood flow to the brain. D. They may affect gene expression in immune cells.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Dangers of Using Plastics B. Microplastics and Health Risk
C. Medical Research on Human Organs D. Microplastics Found in Human bodies

When I was seventeen, I stayed with my little brother Cheng alone for the first time. Our parents hurried to another city to take care of my grandma, who had a serious illness, and left eight-year-old Cheng with me. Before they left, they gave me the keys and some money.
Everything was fine. In the evening, Cheng was at the dining table, drawing a face on an egg for a school project. I helped him sharpen his pencils, and he suddenly asked, “Brother, what if the egg breaks?” I replied, “Then just draw another one.” As soon as I said that, the egg rolled off the table and broke. Cheng started to cry. I picked up the broken pieces and gave him the last egg from the fridge, saying, “Don’t cry. Let’s draw it together.”
To cheer him up, I suggested we make a “capsule” for the new egg. We gathered old boxes and colored paper. We stuffed cotton inside the box. Cheng decorated it with silver paper while I colored the cotton blue to make it look like the night sky. After an hour, we had a shiny capsule, and Cheng gently placed the egg inside.
Dinner was simple — tomato and egg noodles. Cheng insisted on placing the capsule in the middle of the table with an empty bowl for it. I pretended to pour some soup into the bowl for the egg. Cheng ate with sauce all over his face and whispered, “Brother, what if Grandma’s illness is serious?” I comforted him, “Everything will be fine.” He nodded, tears rolling down his cheeks.
At 8:00 pm, I told Cheng to take a bath. In the bathroom, I washed his hair, and he suddenly wiped the water from my forehead, saying, “Brother, you seem like an adult.” My heart felt warm. “I’ll cook breakfast for us tomorrow morning,” he continued. “After the breakfast, I want to speak to Grandma.”

(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

28-year-old Ren makes handcrafted wooden plaques (匾牌) and sells them to customers in the United States, Singapore, and other countries. Surrounded by piles of wood waiting to be reused, Ren turns rough pine and beech into custom wooden signs for restaurants, unique homestays, and campgrounds.
After graduating in 2017 and stepping into the highly competitive online clothing industry, Ren realized he needed to find a specialized market. His solution: custom wooden plaques. He founded a company in 2022. “Each piece is tailor-made. It’s nearly impossible to find the same product on the market,” Ren explained. “The price per order attracts quality customers who place large orders.”
Last year, his craft earned him over $688,000 — a success he owed to his much attention to detail and commitment to perfection. “We work with over 10 different types of wood. Every step, from design and cutting to carving, coloring and painting, is crucial,” he said.
International orders began with a midnight message from an American client two years ago. After producing five design variants, Ren waited by his screen for hours without receiving any feedback. “I later realized it was simply the time difference,” he recalled.
Another memorable project was for an American restaurant owner who initially requested four window-like plaques, each about 1.2 meters in diameter. After presenting several design drafts that showcased traditional techniques and craftsmanship, the impressed client increased the order to six pieces. “The owner went on to refer several other American customers to me,” said Ren.
He believes that in the custom business, long-term relationships are key — each satisfied customer becomes a brand ambassador. Ren’s small but dedicated (专心致志的) team of eight continues to breathe life into wood, with his plaques now decorating numerous businesses abroad.
4. Why did Ren choose to enter the custom wooden plaque business?
A. To avoid the competition in the previous field. B. To spread wooden plaques abroad.
C. To teach traditional woodworking. D. To enjoy different types of wood.
5. What is the key to Ren’s success in his business?
A. The unique design software he uses. B. His ability to speak multiple languages.
C. His focus on detail and pursuit of perfection. D. The large number of employees in his company.
6. Why did the restaurant owner raise the order to six plaques?
A. He enjoyed the design for the plaques. B. He was impressed by Ren’s sincerity.
C. He was persuaded by other clients. D. He got a discount from Ren.
7. What does Ren think is the most important in the custom business?
A. Offering the lowest price to customers. B. Producing products as quickly as possible.
C. Using the most expensive wood materials. D. Building lasting relationships with customers.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. D

Researchers have some new evidence about what makes birds make so much noise early in the morning, and it’s not for some of the reasons they previously thought. For decades, a popular theory about why birds sing at dawn — called the dawn chorus (合唱) — has been that they can be heard farther and more clearly at that time. Sound travels faster in humid (温暖潮湿的) air and it’s more humid early in the morning. It’s less windy, too, which is thought to lessen any distortion (失真) of their sounds.
But scientists in India studied audio (声音的) recordings of birds in the rainforest. They said they didn’t find proof to support this idea about sound traveling better. It was one of the ideas about environmental factors. Another idea is that birds sing at dawn because it’s too dark to look for food.
“We didn’t find much support for some of these environmental reasons suggested in past studies for birds singing more at dawn,” said Vijay Ramesh, a researcher at Cornell University.
The researchers didn’t find one clear reason why the dawn chorus happens, but they found some support for the ideas that the early morning noise is about birds marking their territory after being inactive at night and talking about finding food.
The team analyzed recordings from audio recorders placed at 43 locations in the Western Ghats mountain range in southern India, which is known as a biodiversity hotspot. They examined sounds of what they determined were 69 different species of birds. They studied recordings from the hours around dawn and the hours around dusk to compare activities.
Unsurprisingly to anyone who’s been roused by bird calls, the vast majority of species they studied had significantly higher vocal activities at dawn compared to dusk.
8. Why did Indian scientists conduct research on birds in the rainforest?
A. To record the sounds of rare bird species. B. To prove sound travels faster in humid air.
C. To explore the reasons for birds’ dawn chorus. D. To find out the best time for the dawn chorus.
9. What can be inferred from the findings of the study?
A. Birds’ dawn singing may serve social functions. B. The old theory about dawn chorus is true.
C. Birds are less active at dusk due to light. D. All birds sing to mark territory at dawn.
10. What was the researchers’ approach in the study?
A. They observed birds’ feeding habits in the morning.
B. They conducted experiments in a laboratory setting.
C. They tracked birds’ movements in different countries.
D. They analyzed audio recordings from tens of locations.
11. What does the underlined word “roused” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Reminded. B. Waken up. C. Threatened. D. Stirred up.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了科学家通过研究印度雨林中的鸟类音频,探索鸟类清晨鸣叫(黎明合唱)原因的新发现。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Researchers have some new evidence about what makes birds make so much noise early in the morning, and it’s not for some of the reasons they previously thought. (研究人员掌握了一些关于鸟类清晨为何如此吵闹的新证据,而且原因并非他们之前所想的那样。)”以及第二段中“But scientists in India studied audio recordings of birds in the rainforest. They said they didn’t find proof to support this idea about sound traveling better. (但是印度的科学家研究了雨林中鸟类的音频记录。他们表示没有找到证据支持声音传播效果更好的这种观点。)”可知,印度科学家研究雨林中的鸟类是为了探索鸟类黎明合唱的原因。故选C。

推理判断题。根据第四段中“The researchers didn’t find one clear reason why the dawn chorus happens, but they found some support for the ideas that the early morning noise is about birds marking their territory after being inactive at night and talking about finding food. (研究人员没有找到黎明合唱发生的明确原因,但他们发现了一些支持这种观点的证据,即清晨的噪音是鸟类在夜间不活跃后标记领地和讨论寻找食物。)”可知,鸟类的黎明鸣叫可能具有社会功能,如标记领地和讨论寻找食物等。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“The team analyzed recordings from audio recorders placed at 43 locations in the Western Ghats mountain range in southern India, which is known as a biodiversity hotspot. (研究小组分析了放置在印度南部西高止山脉43个地点的录音机录制的音频,该地区是著名的生物多样性热点地区。)”可知,研究人员通过分析来自数十个地点的音频记录来进行研究。故选D。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Unsurprisingly to anyone who’s been roused by bird calls, the vast majority of species they studied had significantly higher vocal activities at dawn compared to dusk. (对于任何被鸟叫声roused的人来说,毫不奇怪的是,他们研究的大多数物种在黎明时的发声活动明显高于黄昏。)”可知,这里说的是被鸟叫声吵醒的情况,结合选项可知,“roused”意为“吵醒,唤醒”,与“Waken up”意思相近。故选B。
D
Microplastics (tiny, microscopic bits of plastic) have been found almost everywhere researchers look, including the human body. Microplastics and their even tinier cousins, nanoplastics, are probably flowing through your blood and building up in your organs (器官) like the lungs and liver. Now, a new study is linking microplastics to increased heart attack and stroke risk.
“There are some microplastics in normal, healthy arteries (动脉),” said Dr Ross Clark, a researcher who led the study. “But the amount there is really, really different when they become diseased with symptoms.”
Clark and his team measured microplastics and nanoplastics in the dangerous, fatty plaque that can build up in arteries, block blood flow, and cause strokes or heart attacks. Compared to the walls of healthy plaque-free arteries, plaque buildup had 16 times more microplastics — just in the people who didn’t have symptoms. In people who had experienced stroke, mini-stroke, or vision loss, the plaque had 51 times more microplastics.
Previous research had found that people with microplastics in their arterial plaque were more likely to have a heart attack or die. To investigate why, Clark studied samples (样本) from 48 people’s carotid arteries, the pair of superhighways in your neck that channel blood to your brain. The difference in the number of microplastics surprised him, but his team found another concerning trend, too. Cells in the plaque with lots of microplastics showed different gene activity from those with low microplastics.
In the high-plastic environment, one group of immune cells had switched off a gene that’s associated with turning off inflammation (炎症). Clark’s team also found genetic differences in a group of stem cells thought to help prevent heart attacks and strokes by reducing inflammation and stabilizing plaque.
“Could it be that microplastics are somehow changing their gene expression?” Clark said. “There’s more research needed to fully establish that, but at least it gives us a hint as to where to look.”
12. How might people feel about microplastics linked to disease?
A. Indifferent. B. Concerned. C. Optimistic. D. Confused.
13. What does Clark’s comparison of microplastic levels show?
A. Microplastics in healthy arteries are fatal. B. Healthy arteries contain no microplastics.
C. Microplastic levels are related to arterial health. D. Nanoplastics aren’t present in diseased arteries.
14. What does the study suggest about microplastics’ potential effect?
A. They reduce the risk of strokes. B. They are beneficial to turning off inflammation.
C. They directly block blood flow to the brain. D. They may affect gene expression in immune cells.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Dangers of Using Plastics B. Microplastics and Health Risk
C. Medical Research on Human Organs D. Microplastics Found in Human bodies

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国科学家研制出世界首款超高并行光计算集成芯片,阐述其技术创新、优势及应用前景。
【36题详解】
考查序数词。句意:中国科学家研制出了世界上首款超高并行光计算集成芯片。根据空前提及的“the world’s”及语境,此处表示“第一个”,需用序数词first修饰名词chip,体现该芯片的开创性。故填first。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:该芯片光时钟速度为 50 吉赫兹,峰值运算速度可达 2560 万亿次/秒。“peak”为可数名词,此处表示“一个峰值”,表泛指,且peak以辅音音素开头,需用不定冠词a修饰,构成固定搭配reach a peak of“达到……的峰值”。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:上海光学精密机械研究所的研究人员自主设计并制造了该芯片。此处强调“研究人员亲自、自主完成”,需用反身代词themselves作介词by的宾语,by oneself表示“独自、亲自”。故填themselves。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它具有大带宽和低损耗的特点,这使得它非常强大。根据句意和空前“makes it very”可知,空处需用形容词powerful作宾语补足语,表示“强大的”。故填powerful。
【40题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意:一个关键创新是使用孤子微梳源,它可以提供超过100个波长通道。空格处引导一个非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词soliton microcomb sources,并在从句中作主语,指物,因此用关系代词which。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:研究人员谢表示:“我们在单芯片上实现了100多个波长复用信息交互与计算,展现出高密度并行处理能力。” 句子谓语动词为have achieved,逗号后无连词,需用非谓语动词作伴随状语,主语We与show为主动关系,故用现在分词形式。故填showing。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:与传统光计算仅使用一个波长不同,这种新方法利用100多个光波长同时处理数据——在不增大芯片尺寸或改变频率的情况下,计算能力提升高达100倍。此处表示“利用波长的目的是处理数据”,需用动词不定式作目的状语,说明使用多波长的用途。故填to process。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。根据句意,此处表示“不通过……的方式”,即在没有改变硬件的情况下提升了性能。without意为“没有”,后接动名词,符合语法和句意。故填without。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:一位工程师韩说:“这就像把一条单行道变成一条可以同时容纳数百辆汽车的高速公路,大大提高了吞吐量,而无需改变芯片硬件。”。空处需用副词greatly修饰动词increasing作状语,表示“大大地”。故填greatly。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:这这种新的光学计算设计在人工智能和数据中心方面具有巨大的应用前景。根据句意和空前“artificial intelligence and data”可知,空处需用名词复数centers/centres作宾语,表示“多个数据中心领域”,符合泛指用法。故填centers/centres。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was seventeen, I stayed with my little brother Cheng alone for the first time. Our parents hurried to another city to take care of my grandma, who had a serious illness, and left eight-year-old Cheng with me. Before they left, they gave me the keys and some money.
Everything was fine. In the evening, Cheng was at the dining table, drawing a face on an egg for a school project. I helped him sharpen his pencils, and he suddenly asked, “Brother, what if the egg breaks?” I replied, “Then just draw another one.” As soon as I said that, the egg rolled off the table and broke. Cheng started to cry. I picked up the broken pieces and gave him the last egg from the fridge, saying, “Don’t cry. Let’s draw it together.”
To cheer him up, I suggested we make a “capsule” for the new egg. We gathered old boxes and colored paper. We stuffed cotton inside the box. Cheng decorated it with silver paper while I colored the cotton blue to make it look like the night sky. After an hour, we had a shiny capsule, and Cheng gently placed the egg inside.
Dinner was simple — tomato and egg noodles. Cheng insisted on placing the capsule in the middle of the table with an empty bowl for it. I pretended to pour some soup into the bowl for the egg. Cheng ate with sauce all over his face and whispered, “Brother, what if Grandma’s illness is serious?” I comforted him, “Everything will be fine.” He nodded, tears rolling down his cheeks.
At 8:00 pm, I told Cheng to take a bath. In the bathroom, I washed his hair, and he suddenly wiped the water from my forehead, saying, “Brother, you seem like an adult.” My heart felt warm. “I’ll cook breakfast for us tomorrow morning,” he continued. “After the breakfast, I want to speak to Grandma.”

Seeing me looking at him, Cheng smiled at me.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
At 4 am the next day, I was woken by soft footsteps. Cheng stood by my bed, holding the capsule. “Brother, I dreamt the egg flew to Grandma’s hospital room, and she smiled. Then she got better.” I hugged him and the box. The moon outside was calm. I told him, “Let’s keep the egg flying. In the morning, we’ll call Grandma.” He fell asleep against my shoulder. At dawn, I heard noises from the kitchen. I walked to the kitchen and found Cheng trying to crack an egg into a bowl.
Seeing me looking at him, Cheng smiled at me. I walked to help him. When the pancakes were done, he said, “Brother, you eat first.” I took a bite, hugging him tightly. After the breakfast, we called Grandma. Cheng told her about his dream. On the other end, her weak but happy voice said, “Cheng’s egg is amazing. I dreamt it was dancing by my bed, and I felt so happy. I ate an extra bowl of porridge.” Cheng smiled and ran into my arms, laughing like a beam of light.
