I thought it would be a great way to add a personal touch to my room. First, I gathered all the materials I needed, including some wooden sticks, glue, scissors, and colorful crayons. I started by cutting the wooden sticks into the right lengths to form the frame. However, it wasn’t as easy as I thought. The sticks kept splitting when I cut them. I was a bit impatient, but I didn’t give up. I adjusted (调整) the way I held the scissors and tried again. Finally, I got all the pieces cut. Next, I glued the sticks together to form the frame. While waiting for the glue to dry, I used the crayons to draw some cute patterns on the frame. When I picked up the frame, the corners came apart because the glue wasn’t strong enough. I had to re-glue them and hold them tightly for a while. After several attempts (尝试), my DIY photo frame was finally done. I put a beautiful photo of my family inside. Looking at the finished frame, I felt a great sense of success. This hands-on experience taught me that making something with my own hands can be full of challenges, but the joy of creating is truly worth it. 1．What problem did the writer meet when cutting the wooden sticks for the photo frame? 2．Why did the writer re-glue the corners? 3．How did the writer feel after finishing the DIY photo frame? 【答案】1．The sticks kept splitting. 2．Because the corners came apart./Because the glue wasn’t strong enough. 3．(The writer felt) a great sense of success./Successful./Proud. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者详细记录了自己动手制作一个DIY相框的过程，包括遇到的困难、解决的方法以及完成后的成就感。 1．根据“The sticks kept splitting when I cut them.”可知，作者在切割相框时遇到的问题是木棒容易裂开。故填The sticks kept splitting. 2．根据“When I picked up the frame, the corners came apart because the glue wasn’t strong enough.

What do you do on the first day of school? Most of you meet your teachers at the opening ceremony (仪式). But long ago in China, students had a very special way to meet their teachers. It was called the Bai Shi Ceremony. This event marked the start of their learning journey. At the ceremony, students showed deep respect to their teacher. They didn’t shake hands or say hello. Instead, they would kneel and bow three times. They also gave their teacher a cup of tea, a letter called Bai Shi Tie and sometimes a red envelope. All these acts were ways of saying, “I trust you, teacher. I’m ready to learn from you.” In return, the teacher made a promise. He would treat the student as a family member. The teacher didn’t just teach skills. He helped the student become an honest person and learn how to live a wise life. The ceremony was quiet and serious.

They always live around humans, because they mainly live on the food we throw away. In winter, many magpies turn to a more plant-rich diet. Their diet includes around 60% vegetables. Sometimes they may look for food on the ground but not eat it right away. Instead, they will save the food for the future. Even more surprising, they will stay around the dead birds and make sad sounds. It is just like they are holding a funeral (葬礼). All these unbelievable things lead some people to believe that magpies may be the cleverest of all birds. Well, Beijing’s noisiest bird is also one of its smartest ones. Maybe these little birds can really bring a little luck too. 1．What does the magpie’s Chinese name mean in the article? 2．How do magpies look? 3．What do magpies live mainly on in winter? 4．What will magpies do for their dead friends? 5．What other animals can bring good luck in Chinese culture?

Their diet includes around 60% vegetables.”可知，冬天喜鹊主要以富含植物的食物为生，约60%是蔬菜。故填(They live mainly on) plants/vegetables./They eat vegetables more. 4．根据第五段“Even more surprising, they will stay around the dead birds and make sad sounds. It is just like they are holding a funeral (葬礼).”可知，喜鹊会围绕着死去的同伴并发出悲伤的声音，就像举行葬礼一样。故填They will stay around them and make sad sounds. 5．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。在中华文化中，有很多动物能带来好运，比如龙，人们认为龙象征着吉祥、繁荣等。参考答案为Dragons。 阅读短文并回答问题。(注意：每题不超过10个词) When you think of winter, which word comes to your mind? Cold? Dark? Snow? Ice? When the weather turns terrible, we can stay in warm houses and enjoy nice food, but wild animals may not have this fun. So how do animals spend the long cold winter months? Some animals make journeys to warmer places once a year. We call this migration. They sometimes travel thousands of miles by land, air, or sea to reach their winter home. Small monarch butterflies travel from all over the country to spend their winters in Mexico. Caribous (北美驯鹿) have one of the longest land migrations, travelling over 2,000 miles! But not all migrations are as long as the examples. Some birds make shorter migrations from high mountains to lower lands to find better places with less snow and more food. This type of migration is about changes in height. If winter makes you want to sleep, you’re not alone. Some animals hibernate for part or all of the winter. This is a special, very deep sleep. There are a few different types of hibernation. For example, a bear will eat a lot of food to build up fat reserves. During hibernation, its body temperature drops, and its heart beats more slowly. A bear’s heartbeat may drop from around 55 beats per minute to just 9 beats. The bear can sleep for months without eating or drinking, using its fat for energy. Instead of going to warmer places or sleeping through the winter, some animals spend the winter by changing bodies with seasons. Some animals may grow a thicker and warmer winter coat. Some other animals change the colour of their fur. For example, the snowshoe rabbits are usually brown in summer, but they change the colour of their fur into the colour of snow in winter for better hiding. What about you? Will your mind, body or action change in the wintertime? Do you go to a warmer place for holiday or just stay at your comfortable home? Or maybe you really enjoy taking part in some outdoor activities in winter. No matter how you like to spend the winter, spring is just around the corner. 1．How far do caribous travel to spend the winter? 2．Why do some birds migrate to lower lands? 3．When a bear hibernates, what changes happen to its body? 4．What colours are snowshoe rabbits in different seasons? 5．Will you spend winter staying at home or going outside to have fun? Why? (此题不限制词数) 【答案】1．Over 2,000 miles. 2．For better places with less snow and more food. 3．Body temperature drops and heartbeat slows. 4．Brown in summer and white in winter. 5．I will stay at home because it’s warm and comfortable. (开放性试题，言之有理即可) 【导语】本文主要介绍了动物们如何通过迁徙、冬眠和身体适应等方式度过寒冷的冬季。 1．根据“Caribous (北美驯鹿) have one of the longest land migrations, travelling over 2,000 miles!”可知，北美驯鹿为了过冬会迁徙2000多英里。故填Over 2,000 miles. 2．根据“Some birds make shorter migrations from high mountains to lower lands to find better places with less snow and more food.”可知，鸟类飞到低地是为了寻找雪更少、食物更多的地方。故填For better places with less snow and more food. 3．根据“During hibernation, its body temperature drops, and its heart beats more slowly.”可知，熊在冬眠期间，它的体温下降，心脏跳动更慢。故填Body temperature drops and heartbeat slows. 4．根据“For example, the snowshoe rabbits are usually brown in summer, but they change the colour of their fur into the colour of snow in winter for better hiding.”可知，雪兔在夏天是棕色的，冬天是白色的。故填Brown in summer and white in winter. 5．开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案为I will stay at home because it’s warm and comfortable. The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. In China, people created the 24 solar terms thousands of years ago to guide agricultural (农业的) production. Rain Water is one of the 24 solar terms which stands for the increase (增加) in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, the river water melts, wild geese fly from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again. Here are several things you may not know but can make you know about Rain Water better. Let me introduce them to you. Rain in spring is as precious (宝贵的) as oil According to an old Chinese saying, the rainfall in spring is as precious as oil. In northern China the spring drought (旱灾) is common. And the rain of this season is only 10 to 15 percent of yearly average (平均) rainfall. So at that time, rain is so precious and important to the crops. Return of a cold period A returning cold in the late spring often happens during Rain Water. The fast increase in air humidity (湿度) can result in lower temperature and wet weather. Remember not to take off your coats so early in this period. Visit to in-laws (姻亲) One of the main customs during Rain Water is sons-in-law visiting their in-laws and giving gifts. According to the tradition, gifts are usually two cane chairs with four meters of red belt. They stand for good health and long life. Another traditional gift is a pot of cooked pig’s knuckles (蹄). The son-in-law expresses his thankfulness this way. Nutritious porridge (营养粥) respect The wet weather during Rain Water is harmful to people’s health according to Chinese medical practice. So a bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to keep the body alive and healthy. 1．Why did people create the 24 solar terms? 2．What does Rain Water stand for according to the article? 3．How many things did the writer introduce to make us know Rain Water better? 4．During Rain Water, what gifts do sons-in-law often give their in-laws? 5．What do you think of the 24 solar terms? (请自拟一句话作答) 【答案】1．To guide agricultural production. 2．The increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. 3．Four things. 4．Two cane chairs with four meters of red belt. 5．They are useful/meaningful. 【导语】本文介绍了一些与中国二十四节气中“雨水”相关的信息。 1．根据“In China, people created the 24 solar terms thousands of years ago to guide agricultural (农业的) production.”可知，人们创造二十四节气来指导农业生产。故填To guide agricultural production. 2．根据“Rain Water is one of the 24 solar terms which stands for the increase (增加) in rainfall and rise in temperature.”可知，“雨水”代表降雨量增加和温度上升。故填The increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. 3．根据“Rain in spring is as precious (宝贵的) as oil...Return of a cold period...Visit to in-laws (姻亲)...Nutritious porridge (营养粥) respect”可知，作者介绍了四件事，使我们更好地了解“雨水”。故填Four things. 4．根据“One of the main customs during Rain Water is sons-in-law visiting their in-laws and giving gifts. According to the tradition, gifts are usually two cane chairs with four meters of red belt.”可知，“雨水”期间，女婿常常拜访他们的姻亲并赠送两把带四米红腰带的藤椅当作礼物。故填Two cane chairs with four meters of red belt. 5．开放性作答，言之成理即可。参考答案为：They are useful/meaningful.

First, I gathered all the materials I needed, including some wooden sticks, glue, scissors, and colorful crayons. I started by cutting the wooden sticks into the right lengths to form the frame. However, it wasn’t as easy as I thought. The sticks kept splitting when I cut them. I was a bit impatient, but I didn’t give up. I adjusted (调整) the way I held the scissors and tried again. Finally, I got all the pieces cut. Next, I glued the sticks together to form the frame. While waiting for the glue to dry, I used the crayons to draw some cute patterns on the frame. When I picked up the frame, the corners came apart because the glue wasn’t strong enough. I had to re-glue them and hold them tightly for a while. After several attempts (尝试), my DIY photo frame was finally done. I put a beautiful photo of my family inside. Looking at the finished frame, I felt a great sense of success. This hands-on experience taught me that making something with my own hands can be full of challenges, but the joy of creating is truly worth it. 1．What problem did the writer meet when cutting the wooden sticks for the photo frame? 2．Why did the writer re-glue the corners? 3．How did the writer feel after finishing the DIY photo frame? 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每个题目的答案不超过5个单词。 A new bridge—the biggest of its kind ever—started to be used on September 28 in China.

During the break times between classes, Xiao Jingsheng from Beijing Shangdi Experimental School often went to the toilet then back to class with no time for anything else. But now that is different. “I can have more time to rest and share interesting things with my classmates,” said the 14-year-old. “Starting this autumn term, students at primary and middle schools in Beijing have a longer break between two classes, from 10 minutes to 15 minutes, so students can spend more time outside. To help children better enjoy break-time activities, some schools mixed break time with labor education by opening planting areas and animal breeding zones (饲养区). “We have welcomed new friends to our school—some ducks and rabbits!” said Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old from Beijing 101 Middle School Kuangda Campus. “During the breaks, some play with these cute animals, while others exercise on the playground. We get closer to nature, which is refreshing (令人耳目一新的) and relaxing.” As the break time is longer, making sure everyone is safe is also important. PE teachers in schools keep an eye on students playing on the ground. “Sometimes the ground can be wet in the morning, so we tell the students to do more upper body exercises to avoid (避免) running and falling down,” said one PE teacher. 1．How long is the break time between two classes in Beijing’s schools now? 2．Why do PE teachers advise students to do more upper body exercises? 3．How do you think schools can further improve break-time activities to make them more enjoyable? 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题，将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上(每题答案不超过10个词) Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would say Confucius, born on September 28. Though he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his work in education. Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, now part of Shandong Province, during the Spring and Autumn Period. His childhood was hard. His father died when he was 3, and his mother raised him alone. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but he never gave up studying. He asked many famous teachers for advice and learned music, history, poetry and sports. Later, he became a teacher and started China’s first public school. Back then, only children from rich and powerful families could go to school. But Confucius thought anyone who wanted to learn should have the right. He taught about 3,000 students in his life. Today, people still follow his thoughts. He said everyone has good points to learn from. He also taught us: “All study without thinking is a waste and all thinking without study makes you lazy.” Confucius was not only a great teacher, but also a wise thinker. He taught people to be strict with themselves and kind to others. His wisdom (智慧) still guides us on the right path today. 1．Why do people still remember and respect Confucius today? 2．Did Confucius live in the Spring and Autumn Period or the Western Zhou Dynasty? 3．What did Confucius learn from famous teachers? 4．How did Confucius make all willing learners go to school? 5．What do you think of Confucius’s questions? (至少两点) What do you do on the first day of school? Most of you meet your teachers at the opening ceremony (仪式). But long ago in China, students had a very special way to meet their teachers. It was called the Bai Shi Ceremony. This event marked the start of their learning journey. At the ceremony, students showed deep respect to their teacher. They didn’t shake hands or say hello. Instead, they would kneel and bow three times. They also gave their teacher a cup of tea, a letter called Bai Shi Tie and sometimes a red envelope. All these acts were ways of saying, “I trust you, teacher. I’m ready to learn from you.” In return, the teacher made a promise. He would treat the student as a family member. The teacher didn’t just teach skills. He helped the student become an honest person and learn how to live a wise life. The ceremony was quiet and serious. People lit incense (香) and gave thanks to ancestors. After that, the student officially became a disciple (弟子) of the teacher. It was a big moment and a great honor. Today, we don’t hold this kind of ceremony any more. But many students still find ways to thank their teachers. A kind word, a smile, or a thank-you note can all be great ways to show their respect. (回答下列问题，每题答案不超过六个单词) 1．What did the Bai Shi Ceremony mark? 2．How many ways of showing respect to teachers are mentioned in Paragraph 2? 3．How was the Bai Shi Ceremony? 4．How do students thank teachers today? 5．What does this passage mainly talk about? 阅读下面的短文并根据短文内容回答问题。每小题答案不超过10个单词。 At the age of 40, Sanders ran a gas station (加油站) in Kentucky.

Some animals make journeys to warmer places once a year. We call this migration. They sometimes travel thousands of miles by land, air, or sea to reach their winter home. Small monarch butterflies travel from all over the country to spend their winters in Mexico. Caribous (北美驯鹿) have one of the longest land migrations, travelling over 2,000 miles! But not all migrations are as long as the examples. Some birds make shorter migrations from high mountains to lower lands to find better places with less snow and more food. This type of migration is about changes in height. If winter makes you want to sleep, you’re not alone. Some animals hibernate for part or all of the winter. This is a special, very deep sleep. There are a few different types of hibernation. For example, a bear will eat a lot of food to build up fat reserves. During hibernation, its body temperature drops, and its heart beats more slowly. A bear’s heartbeat may drop from around 55 beats per minute to just 9 beats. The bear can sleep for months without eating or drinking, using its fat for energy. Instead of going to warmer places or sleeping through the winter, some animals spend the winter by changing bodies with seasons. Some animals may grow a thicker and warmer winter coat. Some other animals change the colour of their fur. For example, the snowshoe rabbits are usually brown in summer, but they change the colour of their fur into the colour of snow in winter for better hiding. What about you? Will your mind, body or action change in the wintertime? Do you go to a warmer place for holiday or just stay at your comfortable home? Or maybe you really enjoy taking part in some outdoor activities in winter. No matter how you like to spend the winter, spring is just around the corner. 1．How far do caribous travel to spend the winter? 2．Why do some birds migrate to lower lands? 3．When a bear hibernates, what changes happen to its body? 4．What colours are snowshoe rabbits in different seasons? 5．Will you spend winter staying at home or going outside to have fun?

Rain Water is one of the 24 solar terms which stands for the increase (增加) in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, the river water melts, wild geese fly from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again. Here are several things you may not know but can make you know about Rain Water better. Let me introduce them to you. Rain in spring is as precious (宝贵的) as oil According to an old Chinese saying, the rainfall in spring is as precious as oil. In northern China the spring drought (旱灾) is common. And the rain of this season is only 10 to 15 percent of yearly average (平均) rainfall. So at that time, rain is so precious and important to the crops. Return of a cold period A returning cold in the late spring often happens during Rain Water. The fast increase in air humidity (湿度) can result in lower temperature and wet weather. Remember not to take off your coats so early in this period. Visit to in-laws (姻亲) One of the main customs during Rain Water is sons-in-law visiting their in-laws and giving gifts. According to the tradition, gifts are usually two cane chairs with four meters of red belt. They stand for good health and long life. Another traditional gift is a pot of cooked pig’s knuckles (蹄). The son-in-law expresses his thankfulness this way. Nutritious porridge (营养粥) respect The wet weather during Rain Water is harmful to people’s health according to Chinese medical practice.
