Making any kind of progress can make us healthy and happy in life. By setting and actively working towards our goals, we can make progress in our life. To make more progress in life, start looking at problems in a different way. 1 We need to know that problems are part of our life. After we solve problems one after another, we can make more progress and become stronger. 2 Confidence comes from different places, such as proper education, training or having good relationships. We should also stay with people who believe in our success and actively support us. 3 Slow progress is still progress. Just as the old saying goes, “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” Progress usually comes a lot more slowly than we expect. 4 One important thing is that we keep taking steps towards our goals, and another is that we clearly remember what our goals (目标) are all the time. The actual speed isn’t important. The road to progress is not always smooth. 5 Sometimes, maybe it feels like we’re taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won’t always be like that.

We may try a new sport like skating and end up falling down a lot. We may see a different kind of art and be completely disappointed. We may try to speak or write a different language and end up embarrassing (使尴尬) ourselves. It sounds risky to us. 3 For example, we can try a new food. And we fall in love with it finally. It can be sweet or tastes very good. We may try a new sport and fall down but we get back up and finally experience pleasure, even for a minute. We may see why people love that sport so much. If we try a new kind of music, we may regret we didn’t find it sooner. 4 We can try to write or speak a different language, and we may be a little embarrassed at first, but we know that the only way to improve is to make mistakes and keep on trying. 5 Then you will have chances to get rewards (回报).

Those who can not deal with negative (消极的) thoughts will miss the beautiful scenery. 1 Pay more attention to now. It’s useless to think about things which happened in the past and to get worried about what life will be like in the future. Most of the people may do it once in a while. 2 So it is of great importance to pay more attention to the present. Help others more. As an old saying goes, “Helping others is helping ourselves.” Helping others makes you have a feeling of achievement. 3 Spending time helping other people can make you feel better and make you value what you have. 4 Negative people may make you feel negative, too. One of the best ways to make yourself feel positive (积极的) is to spend time with people who are positive but not those who spend all day complaining (抱怨), so it’s hard to feel negative.

Each year we have a new mountain to climb. To reach our goals, we work hard to make progress day after day. 2 We can complain (抱怨) about how unfair it is to climb a new mountain every day. Or, we can just make ourselves busy. Sometimes, we fall over. Here we also have another choice. 3 Or, we can stand on our feet and begin climbing that mountain again. If we reach the goal for this year, we start from zero to reach the goal for next year. We shouldn't spend the rest of our lives looking at where we used to be. 4 Many people will waste time worrying, "Can I reach my final goal?" or "Is it worth doing"? 5 The question is, "Can I take the next step in the right direction?"

Sayings were usually given by intelligent people in different cultures. 1 That usually belongs to ordinary people from their daily life. We call it a Chinese allegory (歇后语). A Chinese allegory is a saying with two parts. The first part describes the thing, while the second part carries the deep meaning. For example, a common allegory like this is: “A mouse runs across the street—everybody shouts to beat it!” 2 Besides, we have allegories about well-known people. For example, a famous person in Xiangyang history is Guan Yu, a general in the period of the Three Kingdoms (三国时期). He didn’t want to, but had to work for Cao Cao. So, “Guan Yu’s staying in the Cao camp—with the body in the Cao Camp but the heart in the Han Camp” means that he wasn’t truly willing to work for Cao. 3 He lived at the same time in history. It is “Zhuge’s taking the empty-city idea—risking to turn danger into safety.” 4 We hope you’ll enjoy a happy journey to experience the wonderful Chinese language and its fascinating culture. “Sending a goose feather (鹅毛) from a thousand miles away—a small gift sent from far away carries deep feelings of friendship”.　 “Use a basket to get water—end up with nothing left”. The last one is for you to guess and try, “To kill the chicken to scare the monkey— 1 ” You’re sure to make it! A．Here we share three more for you. B．to punish someone to warn others.

Passage 2 (23-24九上·湖北武汉汉口·期末) Lixia, also known as the Start of Summer, falls on May 5th or 6th each year. 1 As its name suggests, in this solar term (节气), spring is ending and summer is on its way. It’s a time when the temperature increases quickly with heavier rainfall. 2 So the solar term is important for farming. In the Zhou Dynasty (1046—256 BC), emperors led officials to carry out ceremonies to welcome the Start of Summer and wish for a good harvest. The ancient Chinese people believed the Start of Summer also had something to do with health because of the rising humidity and temperatures. For example, in Deqing county in Zhejiang province, people still follow the custom of weighing children on Lixia when families go on an outing. A large scale (称)more than 1 meter long is hung on a small chair, allowing the child in the chair to be weighed safely. 3 And they should avoid weight loss in summer. Locals believe that after this weighing ceremony, children can survive and grow strong in the summer heat. 4 It is the way children eat and play with eggs. Parents put boiled eggs into small net-like bags, and hang them on their children’s chests. Egg fighting starts when a child goes to meet their friends, each holding one egg. They hit each other’s eggs in pairs. 5 The last one whose egg is not broken is the final winner. Lixia reflects the changes in nature and embodies the wisdom of Chinese people as well. A．The winners continue the egg fighting. B．This custom reminds people to keep fit. C．People like growing crops at this time. D．It’s also a time when crops grow quickly. E．There is another interesting food custom on Lixia.

Making any kind of progress can make us healthy and happy in life. By setting and actively working towards our goals, we can make progress in our life. To make more progress in life, start looking at problems in a different way. 1 We need to know that problems are part of our life. After we solve problems one after another, we can make more progress and become stronger. 2 Confidence comes from different places, such as proper education, training or having good relationships. We should also stay with people who believe in our success and actively support us. 3 Slow progress is still progress. Just as the old saying goes, “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” Progress usually comes a lot more slowly than we expect. 4 One important thing is that we keep taking steps towards our goals, and another is that we clearly remember what our goals (目标) are all the time. The actual speed isn’t important. The road to progress is not always smooth. 5 Sometimes, maybe it feels like we’re taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won’t always be like that. Keep going towards our goals and we can much more easily make the progress we want. Progress doesn’t always happen in a straight line. As long as we keep working, we will achieve higher levels. A．Try to think positively (积极地). B．They are always there to listen. C．Even if progress is slow, try not to be worried. D．These people can help push us towards progress. E．Most progress often comes along with setbacks (挫折). F．Having confidence is helpful for us to make progress. 【答案】1．A 2．F 3．D 4．C 5．E 【导语】本文主要介绍了如何取得进步，虽然通往进步的道路不总是平坦的，但是只要我们继续努力，我们就会达到更高的水平。 1．根据上下文“To make more progress in life, start looking at problems in a different way.…We need to know that problems are part of our life.”可知，遇到困难时，应用站在不同角度思考，用积极的态度思考会有帮助。选项A“尝试积极思考。”符合语境 。故选A。 2．根据下文“Confidence comes from different places, such as proper education, training or having good relationships.”可知，本文段讲述了信心对进步的重要性。选项F“拥有信心对我们取得进步很有帮助。”符合语境 。故选F。 3．根据上句“We should also stay with people who believe in our success and actively support us.”可知，我们应该与相信我们并积极支持我们的人在一起。选项D“这些人可以帮助我们迈向进步。”符合语境 。故选D。 4．根据上句“Progress usually comes a lot more slowly than we expect.”可知，进步一般会比我们期待中的要来得慢很多。选项C“即使进展缓慢，也不要担心。”符合语境 。故选C。 5．根据上句“The road to progress is not always smooth.”可知，进步的路上不会一帆风顺的。选项E“大多数进步往往伴随着挫折。”符合语境 。故选E。 Passage 2 (23-24九上·湖北黄冈·期末) Every one of us has a chance to try new things. 1 The risk is that we will not be satisfied with our choice.

Some foods can be eaten in their natural forms, such as chocolate cakes and fruits. 1 Of course, an oven is provided at the space station to heat the food. But there are no fridges, so space food must be kept properly. ●Sleeping in space After a long day at work, nothing is better than a good night’s sleep! 1 Then they get up and prepare for work again. When going to sleep, they have to attach themselves, so they don’t float (漂浮) around or hit their bodies against something. They usually use sleeping bags in small crew cabins (乘员舱). 2 Generally, astronauts have an eight-hour sleep each day when they finish their work. ●Doing sports in space Exercise is an important part of every astronaut’s daily life to prevent muscle atrophy (肌肉萎缩). 1 Lifting 200 pounds on the earth may be a lot of work.

Sayings were usually given by intelligent people in different cultures. 1 That usually belongs to ordinary people from their daily life. We call it a Chinese allegory (歇后语). A Chinese allegory is a saying with two parts. The first part describes the thing, while the second part carries the deep meaning. For example, a common allegory like this is: “A mouse runs across the street—everybody shouts to beat it!” 2 Besides, we have allegories about well-known people. For example, a famous person in Xiangyang history is Guan Yu, a general in the period of the Three Kingdoms (三国时期). He didn’t want to, but had to work for Cao Cao. So, “Guan Yu’s staying in the Cao camp—with the body in the Cao Camp but the heart in the Han Camp” means that he wasn’t truly willing to work for Cao. 3 He lived at the same time in history. It is “Zhuge’s taking the empty-city idea—risking to turn danger into safety.” 4 We hope you’ll enjoy a happy journey to experience the wonderful Chinese language and its fascinating culture. “Sending a goose feather (鹅毛) from a thousand miles away—a small gift sent from far away carries deep feelings of friendship”.　 “Use a basket to get water—end up with nothing left”. The last one is for you to guess and try, “To kill the chicken to scare the monkey— 1 ” You’re sure to make it! A．Here we share three more for you. B．to punish someone to warn others.

It’s a time when the temperature increases quickly with heavier rainfall. 2 So the solar term is important for farming. In the Zhou Dynasty (1046—256 BC), emperors led officials to carry out ceremonies to welcome the Start of Summer and wish for a good harvest. The ancient Chinese people believed the Start of Summer also had something to do with health because of the rising humidity and temperatures. For example, in Deqing county in Zhejiang province, people still follow the custom of weighing children on Lixia when families go on an outing. A large scale (称)more than 1 meter long is hung on a small chair, allowing the child in the chair to be weighed safely. 3 And they should avoid weight loss in summer. Locals believe that after this weighing ceremony, children can survive and grow strong in the summer heat. 4 It is the way children eat and play with eggs. Parents put boiled eggs into small net-like bags, and hang them on their children’s chests. Egg fighting starts when a child goes to meet their friends, each holding one egg. They hit each other’s eggs in pairs. 5 The last one whose egg is not broken is the final winner. Lixia reflects the changes in nature and embodies the wisdom of Chinese people as well. A．The winners continue the egg fighting. B．This custom reminds people to keep fit. C．People like growing crops at this time. D．It’s also a time when crops grow quickly.
