He needed to make six meals every day for the panda family—the dad Xing Xing, the mum Liang Liang, and their two daughters YiYi and Sheng Yi. Adam also cleaned the pandas’ rooms, checked their bodies, took them to meet visitors and so on. He usually finished his job at 9:00 in the evening. 　　   Adam was tired but happy. “I don’t take it as a job. These pandas are like my family, so it’s my responsibility to look after them,” he said. Adam started to work as a panda keeper when Xing Xing and Liang Liang came to Malaysia from China in 2014. To do his job well, Adam went to Sichuan Province to learn to look after pandas in advance (提前).　 The pandas’ life in Malaysia was good. Xing Xing and Liang Liang gave birth to (生育) three panda babies in eight years. The oldest daughter, Nuan Nuan, was born in 2015. When Nuan Nuan was born, Adam was glad. Under the care of Adam, Nuan Nuan grew up healthily and went back to China in 2017. Nuan Nuan now lives in Sichuan. Adam misses Nuan Nuan a lot. August 18 is Nuan Nuan’s birthday.

It requires preparation, patience and the right skills to stand out from other applicants. With careful planning, you can increase your chances of getting your dream job. First, knowing your strengths is key. Think about your skills, hobbies and past experiences—like volunteer work or school projects. For example, if you’re good at communicating with others, jobs in customer service or education might be a good fit. Second, prepare a clear resume. A resume should briefly introduce your personal information, skills and experiences. Avoid long paragraphs; keep it simple and easy to read. Third, practice for interviews. Many employers ask common questions like “Why do you want this job?” or “What can you bring to our company?” Practicing answers with friends or family helps you feel more confident. Remember, job hunting often takes time. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get an offer right away. Learn from each experience—if you don’t get a job, think about what you can improve next time. Being honest and polite during the process also leaves a good impression on employers. 1．What is the main idea of the passage?

Lan means “blue” in Chinese, and jingtailan pieces often have a beautiful dark blue as the main color. ②Usually, making cloisonne needs many steps—creating a metal base (金属底座), using metal wires (金属丝) to create a design, filling the spaces with colored powders (粉末), and then firing. Each step needs cloisonne makers to be very careful and creative. ③Cloisonne appeared in China in the late 13th century. Emperor Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty liked it very much, so people named it “Jingtailan”. In 2006, cloisonne making was added to China’s national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list. ④Here is a story about two cloisonne lovers. Several years ago, Li Jinglong and Guan Dian visited the Palace Museum in Beijing. There, they fell in love with cloisonne pieces. After that, they decided to open a workshop called “Handcraft Addicted” to let more people know about Chinese-style cloisonne. People can make their own cloisonne pieces there. Since 2018, they have opened three workshops in Beijing. ⑤The whole process of making cloisonne is very hard, but Li and Guan made it easier. People only need to bend (弯) thin metal wires into shapes they like and use colored powders to fill the spaces. ⑥Chang Yunqi has been coming here for about five years. “The thin metal wires are like pencil lines I draw. It’s not easy, but it’s so much fun,” she said. ⑦Li and Guan enjoy teaching people how to make cloisonne. “Many guests like Chang come every week. They make art and enjoy quiet time away from their busy lives,” said Li. ⑧Now more and more people are learning about Jingtailan. Workshops and shows around the world help people from different countries see this beautiful art. Jingtailan is becoming a bridge that connects people everywhere through art! 1．What does the writer think of the cloisonne makers? A．Colorful and thankful.B．Easy but busy.C．Creative and careful. D．Hard but fun. 2．What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A．Li Jinglong and Guan Dian. B．Chinese-style cloisonne pieces. C．Emperors in the Ming Dynasty.

B．By showing the steps on how to make cloisonne handcrafts. C．By giving an example of a guest’s coming to the workshop. D．By describing what the guests in the workshop look like. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A．B．C． D． Reduction woodcut (绝版木刻) is a special kind of woodcut prints. It started in Pu’er, Yunnan in the 1980s. This kind of art shows history and culture in Yunnan, such as the lives of different ethnic minority groups (少数民族), making it much more wonderful and meaningful. It was listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2009 in Pu’er. The reduction woodcut uses one piece of wood to make a colorful artwork. The artists cut and print different layers (层) in order on the same piece of wood. First, they choose the best wood, and then they need to think of a creative idea about how to make it. Next, they make a roughing-out (粗坯). After that, they carefully make it better with tools. Finally, when the artists paint and print the wood again and again, a beautiful artwork shows up. Leng Guangmian, a reduction woodcut artist, thinks it’s not easy to finish such an artwork. It takes time. He said that making reduction woodcut prints is just like an adventure. Every time people cut on the wood and then print, people never know what it will be like until the end. As he sees beautiful patterns layer by layer, he only gets more excited, added Leng. In fact, he began learning it in 2003. Now he keeps on making more people know a lot about reduction woodcut. He even teaches farmers in Pu’er and brings the art into schools. He expects his works to show great woodcut skills, the culture and the life in Pu’er. 1．When did reduction woodcuts become an intangible cultural heritage? A．In 2003. B．In 2009. C．In the 1980s.

With over 20 types, Tangchang cloth shoes are strong, soft, breathable and friendly to the environment. In 2018, they were added to Sichuan’s intangible cultural heritage list (非物质文化遗产名录). 63-year-old Lai Shufang has been making Tangchang cloth shoes for 40 years. Now she is very experienced. She said there are 32 steps to make a pair, but the most important step is making the soles. Layers (层) of white cloth are glued together with flour paste (糨糊). “To make good paste, we make it at a temperature of 85℃. If it’s too low or too high, the paste will not work.” Lai said. Then the pasted layers are dried and cut into different shapes. After this, they beat the layered cloth again and again until it is tight (紧实的) enough to make soles and upper parts. The next step is to shape the two parts and put them together. But still the soles edges look fluffy. Through repeated polishing and trimming (滚压和修整), the fluffy edges (毛边) will become smooth. Then the cloth shoes are ready. Lai’s hard work touched her son Ai Peng. In 2015, Ai decided to leave his job and help to make the cloth shoes more popular. He used Shu embroidery (蜀绣) to make the shoes look more beautiful and opened a cloth shoe store online. He also set up shop windows to show the steps of making shoes. 1．What is the most important step in making Tangchang cloth shoes according to Ms. Lai? A．Making the soles. B．Making the upper parts. C．Making good flour paste. D．Making smooth edges. 2．What is the correct order of the following steps in making Tangchang cloth shoes? ①beating the layered cloth ②making flour paste at the temperature of 85℃ ③putting the upper parts and the soles together A．③②① B．②③① C．③①② D．②①③ 3．According to the passage, how many things has Lai’s son done to make the cloth shoes more popular after he left his job? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 4．What is the best title for this passage? A．A Talented Shoemaker, Lai Shufang B．Handmade cloth Shoes in Tangchang C．Tangchang, a Well-known Town in Chengdu D．Ai Peng’s cloth shoe Store Soy sauce was invented by the Chinese over 2,000 years ago and is still used in Chinese cooking every day. Nowadays people don’t give much thought to the traditional way of making soy sauce, as they mostly buy the soy sauce produced in modern chemical methods. Little known to the outside world, a century-old factory in Xianshi town, Luzhou city, Sichuan, still uses the natural method to produce soy sauce. It simply puts the soybean mixture in big jars under the sun. It takes up to three years to complete. Since 1893, the company has been making soy sauce for more than 130 years. Water, salt and soybeans are needed to make soy sauce. Natural bacteria (菌群) and old jars make it taste better. The process (工序) allows the beans to naturally produce oil, making a full taste. It is the most special thing of this soy sauce. The factory can only produce about 2,000 jars of soy sauce every year. Also, it takes over ten times longer to finish the whole process in this traditional way. As a result, the factory has faced many ups and downs. Luckily, the traditional method of making soy sauce in this factory became an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Sichuan province in 2007 and an intangible cultural heritage of China in 2014. “I had the idea to give it up, but I usually said to myself that good things never come easy, just like our soy sauce.” the factory owner said. 1．Why do people seldom think of the natural way of soy sauce making now? A．Because they think soy sauce is unhealthy. B．Because they mostly buy soy sauce made in modern ways. C．Because they seldom use soy sauce when cooking. 2．What can we know about the factory in Paragraph 2? A．It is a famous factory in China. B．It has a history of over a century. C．It took up to 3 years to build the factory. 3．What does “It” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．The low price. B．The long history. C．The good taste. 4．What can we learn from the factory owner’s words? A．Never give up. B．Knowledge is power. C．Seeing is believing. 5．What is the main idea of this passage? A．The steps of making soy sauce. B．Good things to add while cooking. C．A traditional way to make soy sauce. Unit 3单元话题 Do you often compare yourself with other people and wish you could be more like them? We are all different in our own way. Self acceptance (自我接受) can help you feel happier and better about yourself. What is self-acceptance? Self acceptance means learning to accept the things that make you who you are, and being thankful for what you’re good at, like sports, science or singing. Self-acceptance also means valuing (重视) the parts of you that don’t shine very brightly, like being forgetful or untidy. A 12-year-old girl, Lily, says self-acceptance means “knowing your own weaknesses and strengths, and accepting who you are no matter what other people say or think.” Why is self-acceptance good for you? When you accept who you are, you worry less about things you can’t change. It makes you feel happier and more confident. The Anna Freud Centre, a charity that helps young people, says everyone can feel that they have to be perfect (完美的), but that makes us forget about the little things that make us special. ▲ For example, some people may find letters or numbers hard to read, but they might have strengths in other things, like finding good ways to work out problems. How can you accept yourself? Start by making a list of all the things you like about yourself. Maybe you’re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you. Also, try saying kind, happy things to yourself in a mirror every morning. Think up ways to treat yourself, such as taking a long shower, watching your favourite film, or eating delicious ice cream. But don’t forget it’s important to eat healthy food and get enough sleep. 1．Which of the following is NOT true about self-acceptance? A．Learning to accept who you are. B．Being thankful for what you are good at. C．Knowing your own weaknesses and strengths. D．Worrying about the parts of you that don’t shine very brightly. 2．Which sentence can be put in the “ ▲ ” in Paragraph  3? A．It can also help you know what you’re really good at. B．Accept yourself and never say you can’t do it. C．It’s important to learn from people around you. D．Live the life you like to make yourself happy. 3．How does the writer develop (阐述) his idea in Paragraph 4? A．By giving examples. B．By asking questions. C．By telling stories. D．By comparing differences. 4．What’s the best title for the passage?

Do you know many people sit for more than nine hours a day? Maybe you’re one of them! Whether you work at a desk, sit in a car, on a bus or on a train, or relax on the sofa watching TV, you spend more time sitting than your parents and grandparents did. But what does this mean for your body? Well, the answer may make you anxious. A study carried out in the 1950s compared bus drivers with the conductors who walked around the bus selling tickets. It showed that drivers who spent many hours sitting at the wheel were twice as likely to have heart problems as the conductors. Sitting for a long time has been connected to different health problems, even if you often exercise. When you sit all day, you burn fewer calories than someone with a more active job. Some people say it slows down your body’s ability to control blood sugar levels, which can increase the chance of getting diabetes (糖尿病). One possible solution to this problem is for desk workers to use standing desks to spend at least part of their day on their feet. A small study showed that office workers who stood for three hours after lunch had smaller increases in their blood sugar levels. Another study suggested that standing for three or four hours a day—for a whole year—would burn as many calories as running ten marathons. However, some experts question these numbers and say that standing all day can also cause problems like leg or back pain. They suggest gradually increasing the time spent standing if you want to use a standing desk. They also point out that there are many other choices besides standing. For example, walking burns far more calories than just standing around. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By sharing advice.B．By listing numbers.C．By asking questions. D．By explaining reasons. 2．What does the underlined word “anxious” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．worried B．proud C．bored D．relaxed 3．What does the writer mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 3? A．Driving a bus can be dangerous. B．It’s important to get an active job. C．It’s time for us to control blood sugar levels. D．Sitting for long hours leads to health problems. 4．Which of the following may the experts in the last paragraph agree with? A．Everybody should use a standing desk. B．Standing too long might cause back pain. C．Walking is the best choice for desk workers. D．People should spend most of their time standing. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The importance of standing and walking in the workplace. B．The connection between sitting all day and health problems. C．The dangers of sitting all day and solutions for desk workers. D．The benefits of standing desks for office workers’ health. It’s easy to just get fast food when you’re hungry, but it can also be unhealthy and expensive. I decided to test myself and not have fast food for five days. I made my own food at home using healthy recipes (菜谱). Day 1: Hardest day For breakfast at school, I ate a cereal bar (谷物棒), and for lunch I got myself a salad. I looked out of the window on my bus ride home and McDonald’s was calling to me. Then I remembered my plan I cooked fish for dinner. Day 2: Trying new things I tried some zucchini (西葫芦) noodles. Zucchini isn’t my all-time favourite, but I was surprised by how good this tasted. Day 3: Shaking up breakfast Two more days until my healthy diet was over and I felt really good about myself. For breakfast, I had a banana sandwich. Don’t let the term “sandwich” fool you. The banana actually works as the “bread”. Day 4: At-home burrito I found an easy burrito (玉米煎饼) recipe. I needed black beans, garlic, tomatoes, lettuce and some other vegetables.

Unit 4单元话题 Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly while you are trying to work, or when your best friend does not wait for you after school? If you do, you need to take control (控制) of your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry with people can cause you to lose friends. Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, has written My Feelings Are Like Wild Animals to help you control your feelings. It tells teenagers how to stay cool when bad things happen to them. The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It can never make them better. “Getting angry is not a natural way to act,” the book says. It is just a bad habit, like smoking. The book says you can control your anger easily. All you have to do is to tell yourself not to be angry. When a baby falls over, he only cries if people are watching him. Like a baby, you should only get angry if you are sure it is the right time to do so. The book gives many tips (提示) to help you if you get angry easily. Here are the top three. * Keep a record (记录). Every time you get angry, write down why you are angry. * Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. * Do something different. When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else. Try to laugh. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling stories. B．By asking questions.

Talking to yourself actually has a lot of benefits. ②You may know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps us make plans and manage (管理) our feelings. Speaking this inner (内在的) speech out loud can help us do better in different areas. ③When encouragement comes from oneself, it improves self-confidence. A study invited 72 tennis players to take part in matches. Researchers put the players into two groups: one group said nothing while playing, while the other talked to themselves while playing. They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better. ④Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can also help us manage bad feelings. “Talking to oneself in the third person leads people to think about themselves in the way they think about others,” said a professor from Michigan State University. This can help us see things from a different aspect (方面) and then feel better. ⑤Self-talking also helps improve memory. Researchers tested four ways to memorize things: reading silently, reading aloud, listening to others reading and listening to a record of reading. Those who read out loud remember the information best, because the information is likely to become a long-term (长期的) memory if it is said out loud. 1．What does the underlined word “benefits” mean in Paragraph 1? A．Happy feelings.B．Different ways. C．Clear plans. D．Good points. 2．What can self-talking help to do according to Paragraph 3? A．To find out the best players. B．To develop a player’s skills.

A． B． C． D． People laugh for a lot of different reasons. For example, we laugh when something is funny, we laugh when something surprises us and we sometimes even laugh when we are scared. Scientists don’t know all the reasons why so many different things make us laugh. But we do know laughing helps us to get along with each other. In some ways, laughing is a kind of talking. Before we had a language, we knew how to laugh. Before words, laughing could let others know “Everything is OK!” Today, we still use laughing as a way to let other people know that we like them, that we are friendly, and that we have the same idea. Yes, even another person’s laughter can make someone start laughing with him or her. That is a good thing, because laughing is healthy for us. Laughing helps our brains (大脑) give off special chemicals (化学物质). They can help us relax and feel good. Laughing is good exercise. It helps us make our hearts strong. Laughing can also help us feel much better if we are feeling worried or scared. Scientists think laughing may also help with our health. It helps our body fight illnesses. So laughing is good for us in many ways. That’s why it’s a good idea for us to laugh loudly right now. 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a story. B．By giving many numbers.

My walk from Yongdingmen Gate to Zhengyangmen Gate was easy. I spent some time exploring Qianmen Street. I found many famous names there. For example, there was Quanjude, famous for its Beijing roast duck, and the Lao She Teahouse. Keeping walking north, I passed through Tian’anmen Square and the Forbidden City before stopping for a quick lunch. Then I arrived at Jingshan Park. Climbing to the top, I took a bird’s eye view of the city. How great! Next, I rode a bike along Di’anmen Street to the Drum Tower and the Bell Tower.

The lake was like a huge mirror, reflecting (反射) the blue sky and the trees on its banks. We quickly got to start setting up our camp. We worked as a team. My parents were busy putting up the tent, while I was laying out the sleeping bags and something else inside. It was a sunny day. Standing on the soft grass, we looked towards the lake, and heard the sound of the waves. It made all the stress (压力) in our daily lives disappear immediately. During the day, fishing was one of our favourites. Every time a fish tugged (拉；拽) at the line, it brought us excitement. After fishing, we also took a walk around the lake. We explored the surrounding woods, discovering small wildflowers and interesting rocks along the way. As the sun began to go down, painting the sky with warm hues (色彩) of orange and red, we gathered around the campfire and chatted about everything from our daily lives to our dreams for the future. Laughter filled the air, and it was a moment of happiness and togetherness. This amazing camping trip near the lake was not just a vacation.

So when her grandmother told her she could have a baby cat four weeks later, “How will I know when four weeks is? ”. “ ▲ ,” smiled her brother Randy. That sounded interesting. “How?” Hana asked. “What does the moon look like now?” said Randy. “It’s a full moon.” Hana said. “Will it still be full tomorrow?” said Randy. Hana thought for a while. “Well, almost. But it will be a little bit smaller. I think.” “That’s right,” Randy said. “And it’ll keep getting smaller until we can’t see it at all! And then it’ll come back when it’s just a thin and tiny moon, and it’ll get fatter and fatter until it’s full again! By the next full moon, it’ll be time to get your baby cat.” Hana decided to draw the moon every day. Her first picture was round, full and golden. Then the moon started getting thinner. “Say good night to the gibbous moon. That’s what the moon is called when it’s less than full but more than half,” Dad said one night. Every day Hana drew more pictures. When the moon was covered with clouds, she drew clouds instead. Then a clear night came when there was no moon anywhere, so Hana drew a cat instead. Now every night the moon got bigger and bigger. “You know Luna is another name for the moon,” her mom said. “Luna, Luna, Luna,” Hana sang. It was a pretty name. Finally the night came when Hana covered her paper with a huge, round, golden moon, just like her first picture. The most exciting moment came—Hana chose a black baby cat. It was black like the night and its eyes shone like the moon. She named it Luna. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．Which of the following is the best to fill in the “ ▲ ”?

Lan means “blue” in Chinese, and jingtailan pieces often have a beautiful dark blue as the main color. ②Usually, making cloisonne needs many steps—creating a metal base (金属底座), using metal wires (金属丝) to create a design, filling the spaces with colored powders (粉末), and then firing. Each step needs cloisonne makers to be very careful and creative. ③Cloisonne appeared in China in the late 13th century. Emperor Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty liked it very much, so people named it “Jingtailan”. In 2006, cloisonne making was added to China’s national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list. ④Here is a story about two cloisonne lovers. Several years ago, Li Jinglong and Guan Dian visited the Palace Museum in Beijing. There, they fell in love with cloisonne pieces. After that, they decided to open a workshop called “Handcraft Addicted” to let more people know about Chinese-style cloisonne. People can make their own cloisonne pieces there. Since 2018, they have opened three workshops in Beijing. ⑤The whole process of making cloisonne is very hard, but Li and Guan made it easier. People only need to bend (弯) thin metal wires into shapes they like and use colored powders to fill the spaces. ⑥Chang Yunqi has been coming here for about five years. “The thin metal wires are like pencil lines I draw. It’s not easy, but it’s so much fun,” she said. ⑦Li and Guan enjoy teaching people how to make cloisonne. “Many guests like Chang come every week. They make art and enjoy quiet time away from their busy lives,” said Li. ⑧Now more and more people are learning about Jingtailan. Workshops and shows around the world help people from different countries see this beautiful art. Jingtailan is becoming a bridge that connects people everywhere through art! 1．What does the writer think of the cloisonne makers? A．Colorful and thankful.B．Easy but busy.C．Creative and careful.

D．By describing what the guests in the workshop look like. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage?

It started in Pu’er, Yunnan in the 1980s. This kind of art shows history and culture in Yunnan, such as the lives of different ethnic minority groups (少数民族), making it much more wonderful and meaningful. It was listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2009 in Pu’er. The reduction woodcut uses one piece of wood to make a colorful artwork.

Next, they make a roughing-out (粗坯). After that, they carefully make it better with tools. Finally, when the artists paint and print the wood again and again, a beautiful artwork shows up. Leng Guangmian, a reduction woodcut artist, thinks it’s not easy to finish such an artwork. It takes time. He said that making reduction woodcut prints is just like an adventure. Every time people cut on the wood and then print, people never know what it will be like until the end. As he sees beautiful patterns layer by layer, he only gets more excited, added Leng. In fact, he began learning it in 2003. Now he keeps on making more people know a lot about reduction woodcut. He even teaches farmers in Pu’er and brings the art into schools.

With over 20 types, Tangchang cloth shoes are strong, soft, breathable and friendly to the environment.

She said there are 32 steps to make a pair, but the most important step is making the soles. Layers (层) of white cloth are glued together with flour paste (糨糊). “To make good paste, we make it at a temperature of 85℃. If it’s too low or too high, the paste will not work.” Lai said. Then the pasted layers are dried and cut into different shapes. After this, they beat the layered cloth again and again until it is tight (紧实的) enough to make soles and upper parts. The next step is to shape the two parts and put them together. But still the soles edges look fluffy. Through repeated polishing and trimming (滚压和修整), the fluffy edges (毛边) will become smooth. Then the cloth shoes are ready. Lai’s hard work touched her son Ai Peng. In 2015, Ai decided to leave his job and help to make the cloth shoes more popular. He used Shu embroidery (蜀绣) to make the shoes look more beautiful and opened a cloth shoe store online.

Nowadays people don’t give much thought to the traditional way of making soy sauce, as they mostly buy the soy sauce produced in modern chemical methods. Little known to the outside world, a century-old factory in Xianshi town, Luzhou city, Sichuan, still uses the natural method to produce soy sauce. It simply puts the soybean mixture in big jars under the sun. It takes up to three years to complete. Since 1893, the company has been making soy sauce for more than 130 years. Water, salt and soybeans are needed to make soy sauce. Natural bacteria (菌群) and old jars make it taste better. The process (工序) allows the beans to naturally produce oil, making a full taste. It is the most special thing of this soy sauce. The factory can only produce about 2,000 jars of soy sauce every year. Also, it takes over ten times longer to finish the whole process in this traditional way. As a result, the factory has faced many ups and downs. Luckily, the traditional method of making soy sauce in this factory became an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Sichuan province in 2007 and an intangible cultural heritage of China in 2014. “I had the idea to give it up, but I usually said to myself that good things never come easy, just like our soy sauce.” the factory owner said. 1．Why do people seldom think of the natural way of soy sauce making now? A．Because they think soy sauce is unhealthy. B．Because they mostly buy soy sauce made in modern ways. C．Because they seldom use soy sauce when cooking. 2．What can we know about the factory in Paragraph 2? A．It is a famous factory in China. B．It has a history of over a century. C．It took up to 3 years to build the factory. 3．What does “It” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．The low price. B．The long history. C．The good taste. 4．What can we learn from the factory owner’s words? A．Never give up. B．Knowledge is power. C．Seeing is believing. 5．What is the main idea of this passage? A．The steps of making soy sauce. B．Good things to add while cooking. C．A traditional way to make soy sauce. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了酱油的发明历史，以及四川泸州先市镇一家百年老厂仍在使用传统自然方法酿造酱油的情况，包括其酿造过程、特点、面临的困境及获得的荣誉等。 1．细节理解题。根据“Nowadays people don’t give much thought to the traditional way of making soy sauce, as they mostly buy the soy sauce produced in modern chemical methods.”可知，人们现在很少想到传统的酱油制作方法是因为他们大多购买用现代方法制作的酱油，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Little known to the outside world, a century-old factory in Xianshi town, Luzhou city, Sichuan, still uses the natural method to produce soy sauce... Since 1893, the company has been making soy sauce for more than 130 years.”可知，这家工厂有超过一个世纪的历史，故选B。 3．词义猜测题。根据“The process (工序) allows the beans to naturally produce oil, making a full taste.

We are all different in our own way. Self acceptance (自我接受) can help you feel happier and better about yourself. What is self-acceptance? Self acceptance means learning to accept the things that make you who you are, and being thankful for what you’re good at, like sports, science or singing. Self-acceptance also means valuing (重视) the parts of you that don’t shine very brightly, like being forgetful or untidy. A 12-year-old girl, Lily, says self-acceptance means “knowing your own weaknesses and strengths, and accepting who you are no matter what other people say or think.” Why is self-acceptance good for you? When you accept who you are, you worry less about things you can’t change. It makes you feel happier and more confident. The Anna Freud Centre, a charity that helps young people, says everyone can feel that they have to be perfect (完美的), but that makes us forget about the little things that make us special. ▲ For example, some people may find letters or numbers hard to read, but they might have strengths in other things, like finding good ways to work out problems. How can you accept yourself? Start by making a list of all the things you like about yourself. Maybe you’re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you. Also, try saying kind, happy things to yourself in a mirror every morning. Think up ways to treat yourself, such as taking a long shower, watching your favourite film, or eating delicious ice cream. But don’t forget it’s important to eat healthy food and get enough sleep. 1．Which of the following is NOT true about self-acceptance? A．Learning to accept who you are. B．Being thankful for what you are good at. C．Knowing your own weaknesses and strengths. D．Worrying about the parts of you that don’t shine very brightly. 2．Which sentence can be put in the “ ▲ ” in Paragraph  3? A．It can also help you know what you’re really good at. B．Accept yourself and never say you can’t do it. C．It’s important to learn from people around you. D．Live the life you like to make yourself happy. 3．How does the writer develop (阐述) his idea in Paragraph 4? A．By giving examples. B．By asking questions. C．By telling stories. D．By comparing differences. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Learn to Love Yourself B．How to Be a Perfect Person C．Accept yourself and Others D．Relax and Be Happy 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了自我接纳的含义、好处以及如何做到自我接纳。 1．细节理解题。根据“Self-acceptance also means valuing (重视) the parts of you that don’t shine very brightly, like being forgetful or untidy.”可知，自我接纳也意味着珍视自己不那么闪光的方面，而不是担心它们，因此D项“担心自己不闪光的方面”不符合自我接纳的含义。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“The Anna Freud Centre, a charity that helps young people, says everyone can feel that they have to be perfect, but that makes us forget about the little things that make us special...For example, some people may find letters or numbers hard to read, but they might have strengths in other things, like finding good ways to work out problems.”可知，本段主要讲述自我接纳的好处，即它可以帮助我们认识到自己真正擅长什么，而不是一味追求完美。选项A“它还可以帮助你知道自己真正擅长什么”符合语境。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“Maybe you’re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you...such as taking a long shower, watching your favorite film, or eating delicious ice-cream”可知，作者通过举例子的方式阐述如何自我接纳。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。全文围绕自我接纳展开，介绍了其含义、好处和方法，核心是学会爱自己、接纳自己。因此“Learn to Love Yourself”最适合作为标题。故选A。 Self test of your sleep quality (质量)* Try to answer these questions with A, B, C or D． A．Often.  B．Sometimes.  C． Hardly ever.  D．Never.

Maybe you’re one of them! Whether you work at a desk, sit in a car, on a bus or on a train, or relax on the sofa watching TV, you spend more time sitting than your parents and grandparents did. But what does this mean for your body? Well, the answer may make you anxious. A study carried out in the 1950s compared bus drivers with the conductors who walked around the bus selling tickets. It showed that drivers who spent many hours sitting at the wheel were twice as likely to have heart problems as the conductors. Sitting for a long time has been connected to different health problems, even if you often exercise. When you sit all day, you burn fewer calories than someone with a more active job. Some people say it slows down your body’s ability to control blood sugar levels, which can increase the chance of getting diabetes (糖尿病). One possible solution to this problem is for desk workers to use standing desks to spend at least part of their day on their feet. A small study showed that office workers who stood for three hours after lunch had smaller increases in their blood sugar levels. Another study suggested that standing for three or four hours a day—for a whole year—would burn as many calories as running ten marathons. However, some experts question these numbers and say that standing all day can also cause problems like leg or back pain. They suggest gradually increasing the time spent standing if you want to use a standing desk. They also point out that there are many other choices besides standing. For example, walking burns far more calories than just standing around. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By sharing advice.B．By listing numbers.C．By asking questions. D．By explaining reasons. 2．What does the underlined word “anxious” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．worried B．proud C．bored D．relaxed 3．What does the writer mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 3? A．Driving a bus can be dangerous. B．It’s important to get an active job. C．It’s time for us to control blood sugar levels. D．Sitting for long hours leads to health problems. 4．Which of the following may the experts in the last paragraph agree with? A．Everybody should use a standing desk. B．Standing too long might cause back pain. C．Walking is the best choice for desk workers. D．People should spend most of their time standing. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The importance of standing and walking in the workplace. B．The connection between sitting all day and health problems. C．The dangers of sitting all day and solutions for desk workers. D．The benefits of standing desks for office workers’ health. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了久坐对身体的不良影响，包括健康问题，还探讨了针对久坐问题的解决办法以及专家对此的看法。 1．细节理解题。根据“Do you know many people sit for more than nine hours a day?

It runs from the Bell and Drum Towers in the north to Yongdingmen Gate in the south. Last year, it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List (联合国教科文组织《世界遗产名录》). To celebrate, on a beautiful day, I stepped out of the subway station and began my trip along the Axis from the south. My walk from Yongdingmen Gate to Zhengyangmen Gate was easy. I spent some time exploring Qianmen Street. I found many famous names there. For example, there was Quanjude, famous for its Beijing roast duck, and the Lao She Teahouse. Keeping walking north, I passed through Tian’anmen Square and the Forbidden City before stopping for a quick lunch. Then I arrived at Jingshan Park. Climbing to the top, I took a bird’s eye view of the city. How great! Next, I rode a bike along Di’anmen Street to the Drum Tower and the Bell Tower.

So when her grandmother told her she could have a baby cat four weeks later, “How will I know when four weeks is? ”. “ ▲ ,” smiled her brother Randy. That sounded interesting. “How?” Hana asked. “What does the moon look like now?” said Randy. “It’s a full moon.” Hana said. “Will it still be full tomorrow?” said Randy. Hana thought for a while. “Well, almost. But it will be a little bit smaller. I think.” “That’s right,” Randy said. “And it’ll keep getting smaller until we can’t see it at all! And then it’ll come back when it’s just a thin and tiny moon, and it’ll get fatter and fatter until it’s full again! By the next full moon, it’ll be time to get your baby cat.” Hana decided to draw the moon every day. Her first picture was round, full and golden. Then the moon started getting thinner. “Say good night to the gibbous moon. That’s what the moon is called when it’s less than full but more than half,” Dad said one night. Every day Hana drew more pictures. When the moon was covered with clouds, she drew clouds instead. Then a clear night came when there was no moon anywhere, so Hana drew a cat instead. Now every night the moon got bigger and bigger. “You know Luna is another name for the moon,” her mom said. “Luna, Luna, Luna,” Hana sang. It was a pretty name. Finally the night came when Hana covered her paper with a huge, round, golden moon, just like her first picture. The most exciting moment came—Hana chose a black baby cat. It was black like the night and its eyes shone like the moon. She named it Luna. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．Which of the following is the best to fill in the “ ▲ ”?
