When were chopsticks invented? Long long time ago, Chinese ancestors actually also used hands to eat. About 3,000 years ago during the Shang Dynasty, Chinese people started to use chopsticks. During the pre-Qin period, chopsticks were called “Jia”. 2 Because “Zhu” shares the same pronunciation with “stop” in Chinese, which is an unlucky word, by the Ming Dynasty, people began to call them “Kuai”, meaning “fast” in Chinese. 3    Who invented chopsticks? 4 One is that Jiang Ziya was inspired to create chopsticks by a mythical bird. Another one is that Daji, the favorite consort (妃子) of King Zhou of Shang, invented chopsticks in order to please the king. It is also said that Yu the Great, who founded the Xia Dynasty, used sticks to pick up hot food in order to save time to control floods. So, chopsticks came into being. 5 When eating with the elders, Chinese people usually let the elders take up chopsticks before anyone else. Besides, playing with chopsticks is thought to be a bad manner. It’s also impolite to tap chopsticks on the edge of one’s bowl, because in ancient China, beggars often did it to attract attention. A．What should we pay attention to when using chopsticks? B．What else should we know about the history of chopsticks? C．And in the Qin and Han dynasties, they were called “Zhu”. D．This is the origin (起源) of today’s name of Chinese chopsticks. E．Chopsticks are thought to be one of the symbols of Chinese food culture. F．The invention of chopsticks plays a very important role in Chinese history. G．There is no exact historical record about the question, but there are many folk stories about it. Passage 2 In ancient times, people usually wrote from right to left in vertical columns (竖列). But now, we write from left to right in horizontal rows (横行).Why did this change? This has to do with the writing tools and habits that people had back then. 6 The thin slips were connected by small pieces of string. People wrote from top to bottom on one piece and then another. The slips were then connected together into one long passage. 7 While opening a roll, people usually held it with their right hand and opened it with their left hand. 8 Near the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) some scholars began to spread Western ideas and suggested that Chinese people follow the Western writing habit. In 1917, linguist (语言学家) Qian Xuantong wrote a letter to the New Culture Movement leader Chen Duxiu, suggesting writing Chinese characters from left to right. He said that if we used our right hands to write, it would be easier to begin from the left. It would be more comfortable to read, too. 9 In the early 1950s, famous overseas Chinese businessman and philanthropist (慈善家) Chen Jiageng and Chinese writer Guo Moruo raised this suggestion again. Gradually, the texts of newspapers, magazines and books were printed in horizontal rows. 10 A．It’s better to write from the left-hand side. B．People got used to writing from left to right in rows. C．After being connected, the slips were rolled up (卷起来). D．Before paper was created, people wrote on bamboo slips (竹简). E．However, this idea wasn’t widely accepted. F．Nowadays, more and more people are interested in writing on bamboo slips. G．Therefore, it made more sense to start writing from the right-hand side. Passage 3 The Chinese dragon, also known as the “loong”, is important in Chinese legends (传说) and Chinese culture. 11 In ancient times, the dragon was seen as an ability of controlling the weather and bringing rain. 12 But Chinese people have loved it so much for thousands of years. And they call themselves the “descendants (后代) of the dragon”. Heroes in many Chinese legends flew on dragons or looked to dragons for help. In Journey to the West, the Monkey King got the golden cudgel (金箍棒) from the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea. 13 And it became his helper. There are many old Chinese sayings about the dragon. For example, one saying refers to a story about Lord Ye, who liked dragons very much, and had dragon decorations all over his house. His love of dragons became so well known that one day a real dragon decided to pay him a visit. At the first sight of the dragon. Lord Ye ran away in fear. 14 The saying “Lord Ye loved dragons” is used in the same way as “He talks the talk, but can’t walk the walk” is used in English. 15 In the story, he painted four dragons on a wall but did not fill in the eyes. Since the paintings were so beautiful and realistic, many people wished that Zhang could finish the painting. As soon as he finished the eyes on the first two dragons, the sky drew dark, and there was a lightning flash. The two dragons with painted eyes came to life and flew away, up into the clouds. Inspired by this, the saying “Paint the dragon and dot the eyes” means to add the final and key point. In short, the dragon is considered an important and admired part of Chinese culture. It is something that should be welcomed. A．Also, a son of the Dragon King of the Western Sea turned into Monk Tang’s white horse. B．The Chinese dragon is thought as friendly and brings good luck and wealth. C．Another saying comes from a story about the 6th-century painter Zhang Sengyao. D．Of the 12 animals of the Chinese animal signs, the dragon is the only unreal one. E．In fact, he is really crazy about everything about dragons in his life. F．It seems that he did not really love dragons, and he just loved the idea of dragons. G．Western people love the image of “loong” as well. Passage 4 Hongbao in China While Western kids dream about what Santa will bring them, Chinese kids will be getting their money box ready to receive hongbao. Hongbao, red envelopes, are the traditional gifts that adults give children during the Chinese New Year holiday period. The general idea is that adults with income give children with no income hongbao during Chinese New Year. 16 You’ll see hongbao used as decorations (装饰) on just about every Chinese New Year flower and plant that is displayed during the season. 17 And they are only used for decoration. I know because my son checks them whenever he can reach them. 18 Weddings (婚礼) are big events where hongbao are given by guests invited to the wedding instead of gifts. The amount of money to give at a wedding can be tricky (微妙的) and if you are invited to a Chinese wedding, you can ask for some advice about how much to give. If you need hongbao, you can buy them at shops at any time of the year. 19 So you ensure you don’t get one that says “Congratulations on your marriage” for a birthday. These days, people don’t even have to leave the comfort of their sofas to give hongbao. 20 WeChat, a popular instant message and photo sharing app, introduced electronic hongbao, so now it’s even easier. A．These will be empty. B．It is necessary to buy fancy ones. C．Hongbao are given at other occasions too. D．Ask the shop owner or a friend which one to buy. E．Friends send each other hongbao from their phones! F．In fact, “children” can even mean young adults who are unmarried. G．It can show that you respect the party owners. Passage 5 People think different colours have different meanings. They think some colours can bring them good luck. In Chinese culture, there are some lucky colours. 21 Red—Happiness, Success and Good Fortune (命运) Red represents (代表) fire and is the most popular colour in China. 22 Red is popular with Chinese people and it is widely used during festivals and important events like weddings. Red things are common in our everyday life. We can see red lanterns, red paper cuttings and so on. 23 Red envelopes (信封) are filled with money and given as gifts during the Chinese New Year. Yellow—Royalty (王室成员) and Power of the Throne (宝座) In Chinese culture, yellow stands for royalty and was usually used by the emperor. The first emperor of China was known as Yellow Emperor. 24 Green—Money and Wealth Green is a colour which has many meanings such as wealth, hope and growth. Green also stands for purity and cleanliness. 25 Packaging for some produce is often in green in order to show that the food is not polluted. A．Colours can influence people’s feelings. B．Here are the top three of them. C．People wear red clothes during weddings, festivals and other ceremonies. D．Banks and restaurants are often painted in green. E．China was often regarded as “Yellow Earth”, and its mother river is the Yellow River. F．It stands for happiness, beauty, good luck, success and good fortune. G．People often talk about two groups of colours, warm colours and cool colours. 话题2 科普知识与现代技术 Passage 1 In Sweden, Finland and Norway, people are generally very healthy. Their diet is good and they have a healthy lifestyle. 26 It is called SAD, which stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder. In these northern countries, the summer days have 23 hours of sunlight and in the winter, the nights are 23 hours long. During the winter season 27 People with this condition wear a special hat, the hat has a light in it which is very similar to sunlight. By wearing this hat, people can feel happy all winter. Perhaps the opposite of this is wearing sunglasses. Many people feel more relaxed if they wear sunglasses. 28 Or it might be because they think they look cool in sunglasses. Plus, people who wear sunglasses can look at other people without anyone knowing! 29 Whale songs are very popular because of the soft voices and calm rhythms and so are the sounds of waterfalls and bird songs. Sound also affects people’s mood and health. Medical studies have shown that certain kinds of music, such as gentle classical music, can lower people’s blood pressure and heart rate. This is important for people who have heart problems. Of course 30 Isn’t it amazing that so many things can change our mood and health? A．Many people buy CDs with sound from nature to help them relax. B．Lack of sunlight is not really a problem, because most people don’t have eye problems. C．exciting music such as rock or dance music can increase your heart rate. D．the solution to this problem is a simple one. E．However, people in these countries sometimes face an unusual health problem. F．exciting music can also help people with heart problems. G．This could be because their eyes are protected from the sunlight. Passage 2 Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: 31 Here, we look at two examples. A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. 32 The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly. 33 Think about violinists in an orchestra (管弦乐队). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise. Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. 34 Why does this work? Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged (损坏的) parts. This might help patients use that part of the brain again. Music improves concentration (注意力), memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. 35 Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp (敏锐的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable but also good for us in many other ways. A．It can even help sick people get better. B．Music helps people solve some hearing problems. C．Music improves certain language abilities in the brain. D．The violinists develop their memories by playing the violin. E．Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. F．Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak. G．In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. Passage 3 The blood type is helpful in deciding one’s character. People might be surprised if you don’t know your blood type. 36 Now let’s see what these four blood types say.   Type O: You are popular, friendly and creative. You might be a good leader. Good jobs for you: sportsman, player...   Type A: People seem to be quiet outside but filled with worry inside. You are a good listener and have many friends. 37    Type B: You can finish big tasks independently. 38 You are good at reading people and helping others. Good jobs for you: teacher, social worker...   Type AB: 39 You may be outgoing and friendly. You are more careful than others. Usually you like to help others. Good jobs for you: cook, reporter.   40    But we don’t have to take it too seriously—just for fun! A．Good jobs for you: writer, computer programmer. B．There are mainly four blood types: O, A, B and AB． C．The blood type is a fun way for us to know things about ourselves. D．People with blood type A are cheerful and outgoing. E．This kind of people often has the characteristics of both A and B people. F．Blood type O is the most common blood type worldwide. G．You work hard and often have your own way to achieve your goals. Passage 4 Smart Colors: How Scientists Paint Our Life Better Colors are not just pretty to look at, they can talk to us. Scientists call these “smart colors” because they change when something important happens. This helps keep us safe, saves money and even protects the Earth. In some hospitals, nurses wear special wristbands (腕带) that turn bright red if nurses forget to wash hands. This is a gentle reminder to wash hands before touching a patient. 41 These tiny color changes of wristbands make patients feel safe while staying in the hospital. On highways, engineers can use “temperature paint” on bridges. When the air drops below freezing, the grey road slowly turns bright white, warning drivers that ice may be hiding there. 42 . Inside your kitchen, smart labels (标签) on milk cartons change from green to orange if the milk has been left out too long. 43 Families can throw the milk away before anyone gets sick. Also, supermarkets will remove the milk if it isn’t fresh. Even sports can use colors as signals (信号). Smart running shoes will turn purple when the rubber is worn out. 44 Coaches say this simple purple stripe prevents many ankle and knee hurt, saving athletes weeks of painful treatment. However, today’s smart colors often need batteries (电池) or special chemicals. Researchers are now working on “self-powered” pigments (色素) that only need light or heat. 45 One day, our T-shirts may change color with the weather, telling us when to carry an umbrella or take it off, making life both easier and greener. A．They hope such pigments will make smart colors cheaper and greener. B．Similarly, wristbands of football players will turn bright yellow when they’re hot. C．The colour signals will tell you to change for a new pair of shoes before you get hurt. D．Patients simply look at the wristbands and know whether the nurses’ hands are safe. E．The brighter it turns, the more careful drivers become, so accidents drop sharply in winter. F．This small change will not only help us eat healthily, but also be of some help to the supermarkets. G．Without the bright colourful paint, many accidents could happen, especially on dark evenings. Passage 5 Sleep plays an important role in brain development. Children should get enough sleep. 46 A study says that because of being short of sleep, it is much harder for children to do something carefully. 47 Another study shows that the right amount of night- time sleep is just as important for children’s development as healthy eating and taking exercise. 48 In general a younger child needs more sleep than an older one. Children at the age of 5-11 will need 10-12 hours of sleep a night while children at the age of more than 11 will need fewer hours. In fact, many parents don’t know how to help their children get enough sleep. Here is something you can do. For children at the age of 5-11, a 30~40 minutes’ routine (常规) before sleep is helpful. 49 In the activities, children relax and enjoy themselves a lot, and they will go to sleep more easily. Children at the age of more than 11 may go to bed late in the evening, talking with friends online, playing games or watching TV. 50 And even they will be tired during the day. So limit your children’s use of the Internet, games and the TV before they go to bed. And don’t allow them to have a computer or TV set in their bedroom. A．Why does a child need so much sleep? B．How many hours of sleep is enough for a child? C．So they will find it difficult to get up in the next morning. D．It includes a bath, reading a story together and so on. E．Taking exercise is as important as enough sleep for children. F．And also they become forgetful and easy to make mistakes. G．Why do many teenagers have energy to play computer games until late at night? 话题3 教育与青少年问题 Passage 1 Today’s teens have grown up online. 51 . They do homework online. And surely they get their news online. But because they are so comfortable with the Internet, they seldom question the news stories online. Now William Colglazier, a history teacher at a high school in America, is teaching his students how to think critically (批判性地) about online information and recognize a “fake (假的) news” story. His idea came from a study on people’s online reasoning at Stanford University 52 . Most middle school students in the study could not tell the difference between an advertisement and a news story, and high school and college students fully trusted the websites ending in “.org” . The good news is that, according to Colglazier, once teens realize they’ve been cheated, they have strong will to tell truth from lies. “ 53 and how to recognize when others use poor argumentation (论据),” he said. Some of the advice that Colglazier offers his students includes moving off the site to find more information about the site and the writer’s motivations (动机) and the organization behind the news story. 54 He hopes more kids would thinking critically when they read news online. “ 55 ”, he said. “If people cannot tell real news from fake news, the results can be frightening.” A．The Internet is both beautiful an ugly. B．They make friends online. C．The study found that young people lack ability to tell truth form lies. D．The study found that young people lack ability to reason about information on the Internet. E．The Internet is either beautiful or ugly. F．Colglazier shared some of his courses with other teens in Teen Vogue. G．But they need some advice on how to find evidence (证据). Passage 2 Teenage life is often a lot of fun and there are many articles discussing the positive developments that occur in the life of a teenager. It is equally important to be aware of the issues, sometimes big problems, that can make a teen turn into unhelpful behavior and development. A strong family environment and culture will certainly help a teen in facing various problems, but it is impossible to protect teens from hurt. 56 57 The close connection that teens have to social media is bound to influence their emotions and thoughts. In the past, teenagers would be on the phone calling and speaking to their friends. 58 Just like other parts of the internet, there are some dark rooms where teens wander but do not emerge unscathed (毫发无损). A friendly and comfortable environment matters a lot to the healthy growth of teens. Like the Hotel California where you can check out but never leave, so disturbing (令人不安地) sights and sounds cannot be unseen or unheard. 59 Parents and caregivers are in a wonderful position to provide love, support, and patience to their teens while they help them in managing all kinds of problems. 60 while others may be physical or mental health conditions. A．One feature of teenagers is that they are highly connected to social groups. B．They will influence the emotional happiness of your teenager. C．Now the cellphone brings a much wider social network to them all the time. D．Most of teens experience a strong hope to be accepted by others. E．This article looks at several common teenage problems and explains them more. F．Some teens may be willing to return to school before long, G．Some problems may be the result of poor behavior choices, Passage 3 Can separating boys and girls improve their performance at school? Or do boys and girls need to be together to learn to get along? 61 Some people believe that single-gender (单性别的) schools are the best choice. Others believe that schools with both genders give kids a stronger start. 62 In the mid-1990s, there were only two single-gender public schools in the United States. Today, more than 500 public schools in 40 states have only boy students, only girl students or some classes that are single-gender. 63 Girls usually do well with lots of class discussions while boys need to learn by doing. So, single-gender education would meet their different learning needs. The writers of a new report in Science magazine reviewed research about single-gender schools. 64 They say it reduces boys’ and girls’ chances to work together. After all, they’re going to be in the workplace with people of the other gender sooner or later. “The more time boys spend playing with other boys, the more boy-like they become. In other words, boys who often play with other boys become more aggressive (好斗的),” the article says. “ 65 ” The writers also say no study shows that single-gender schooling leads to higher scores or better performances. A．Similarly, girls who spend more time with other girls become more gender-typed. B．Single-gender education is on the rise. C．Their report disagrees with this kind of education. D．Whenever kids get together, there are chances for them to influence each other. E．Different people have different opinions. F．Boys and girls must be taught in separate classrooms. G．According to these schools, boys and girls learn differently. Passage 4 Artificial intelligence (人工智能), or AI for short, has become an important part of our daily life. 66 . Let’s see how! The role of teachers What will the role of teachers be in this robotic classroom of the future? Many teachers worry that AI will take their jobs. Actually human teachers will always be needed to manage the classroom environment and to encourage students. 67 While AI programs have proven (证明) they can teach students to read and solve math problems teaching social-emotional skills is more complex (复杂的). 68 Classrooms 69 Grading, for example, can be done quickly and easily by using AI. In the facial (面部的) expressions alone, AI can also provide a chance of receiving an education for those who have hearing problems or are unable to speak the local language. AI outside the classroom 70 The technology is also being used to help students prepare for tests, such as college entrance exams. It can also help them with their homework. Has your school used AI? Do you think AI is the future of education? A．That kind of learning needs the human touch that only teachers can provide. B．AI in education is extending (延伸) outside the classroom, too. C．A large part of education for children is teaching them social-emotional skills. D．Certain tasks can be made easier through the use of AI. E．Most people think that AI is used more and more widely around us. F．It is certain that AI will have a great influence on education in the next few years. G．Here are the following tips for artificial intelligence. Passage 5 Cooking, the art and science of preparing food, is far more than daily housework. It’s like a fun classroom where you can learn different subjects all at once! 71 Science is everywhere in cooking. When you make bread, the yeast (酵母) eats sugar and makes bubbles of gas. 72 When you cook meat and it turns brown and smells good, that’s cool chemistry. Also, think about heating water, which shows how heat moves. It is all about physics. 73 You need to follow the instructions when you mix materials, like “adding 1/4 spoon of salt”. Sometimes you have to make some changes to feed more or fewer people. That means doing math. Even buying the required materials with low cost teaches you math. Food has a lot of history. Pasta didn’t start in Italy—it came from Asia long ago! Spices (香料) were once traded like gold, and this changed how countries talked to each other. 74 In hot places, people grow more different foods than in cold places. Learning about these things helps you understand how the world works. Cooking is like a secret key that opens the door to learning many subjects. It’s not just about making yummy food. 75 Schools should teach cooking because it helps students see how everything in learning is connected! A．Geography also matters. B．This is biology in action. C．Math helps a lot in the kitchen. D．Cooking avoids wasting money. E．It’s also about becoming smarter in lots of ways. F．Some students often spend money buying ready-made food. G．The following will explain why cooking should be taught at school. 话题4 哲理与感悟 Passage 1 “Hurry up, Millie! You are slower than a turtle today,” says Alana. “That’s OK,” replies Millie. “It is not a bad thing to be as slow as a turtle. 76 ” “Wow!” says Alana. “How is that possible?” “There are many reasons,” says Millie. “ 77 They are never in a rush. They take life easy. People can learn a lesson from turtles.” 78 They discover that turtles walk very slowly and steadily (稳步地). They are never in a hurry to eat. Sometimes, it takes them many hours to eat a good meal. They breathe slowly and get lots of rest. In winter, they make a big hole and go to sleep. 79 When they wake up in spring, they begin to move. But, as always, they move slowly. That’s the trick (秘诀). 80 Life is a long journey. It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. A．Everything gets even slower. B．Slow and steady wins the race. C．Later, the two girls read about turtles. D．What else does Millie know about turtles? E．But mostly, it’s because they take their time. F．Although turtles walk slowly, they swim fast. G．Do you know that turtles live to be 200 and even 300 years old? Passage 2 There was a little boy living in a city with his parents. Every summer holiday, the parents would take their son to visit his grandparents. 81 And the boy loved to stay with them. Year by year, the boy grew up. One day, he said to his parents, “Now, I am big enough. This holiday, I can go to my grandparents’ house alone. 82 ” The parents said yes, but they were worried about him. So they taught him everything he needed to know to travel alone. The day came when the boy was to leave for his grandparents’ house. His parents came to the train station to see him off. While waiting, the boy’s father handed him a letter and said, “Son, if you feel afraid on the way, open this letter and read it. 83 ” The train began to move and the boy was very excited. It stopped at every station and people kept coming and going. At one station, a big man got on the train and sat next to the boy. The boy got a little scared. 84 He opened the letter, “Don’t be afraid. I am here with you on this train.” Just after reading the letter, all his fear was gone. In fact, life is like that. When we do something alone, we needn’t be sad or afraid. 85 We can just do whatever we want and remember we are actually not alone. Choose five out of the six sentences to complete the passage. Each choice should be used only once. A．Please let me go by myself. B．It will help you calm down (镇静). C．His parents decided to go with him. D．They lived far away in another city. E．Then the boy remembered his father’s letter. F．Our parents and friends are always on the journey with us. G．However, we should be careful when we use them online. Passage 3 People make long journeys to different countries. 86 However, the biggest journey is the self-discovery journey. How can you start the journey of self-discovery? Here are four tips for you. 87 You may have different kinds of abilities. It could be about your ability to express yourself, your ability to understand others or your skills at football. But which of them are you proud of? You need to find out the answer. This will help you know yourself better. Get out of your comfort zone (舒适区). It is always comfortable to stay in your familiar (熟悉的) area. However, in order to discover yourself, you need to put yourself in some uncomfortable situations. 88 For example, you can go out for difficult rock climbing. This will give you a chance to learn more about how you feel, think and react when the challenge comes. 89 It is also a powerful way to discover things about yourself. When you are in a different place where people share different thoughts, you may have a chance to rethink what you always believe. People may want to finish the journey as soon as possible. 90 As you go through life, many experiences can change you, and this helps you grow. The journey to self-discovery is life's greatest adventure. A．They even have a great time during the journeys. B．Some even make their way to space. C．In fact, the self-discovery journey is a life-long task. D．Spend your time in a new environment. E．Find out your most valuable ability. F．Discover and share different cultures. G．You can do some outdoor activities you are afraid of. Passage 4 Secret to Happiness There’s a Chinese saying that goes, “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap (小睡). If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, become wealthy by chance. 91 ” Helping others by giving may be the secret to a happy, healthy life. The more you give, the more you’ll gain. The key is to find a method that works for you. 92 Find your love. 93 You might feel bad if you are doing something you don’t like. You will feel great when you put your love into giving. Give your time. The gift of time is often more valuable to the receiver, and more satisfying to the giver, than money. People don’t all have the same amount of money, but everyone has time. 94 It can be just a few hours a day, or a few days a year. Be active. Take every chance to serve your community. You are free to choose what you want to do. Make full use of services that match your values. 95 You can easily get used to selfless giving. When you give, make sure to keep your own needs in mind. You matter, too. All in all, by proper giving, you can gain purpose, meaning and happiness—all of the things that people look for in life but are so hard to find. A．Don’t forget about yourself. B．Here is some advice that you can take. C．You can give some of this time to help others. D．If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody. E．But sometimes you are not sure where money is going. F．Your giving should not be from orders but come out of love. G．Think more about others than yourself. Passage 5 Progress means the act of going forward. 96 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. Whatever happens, if we think positively, it can be useful and helpful. 97 After we solve problems one after another, we can make more progress and become stronger. Having confidence is helpful for us to make progress. Confidence comes from different places, such as proper education, training or having good relationships. 98 These people can help push us towards progress. 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. 99 One important thing is that we keep taking steps towards our goals, and another is that we clearly remember what our goals are all the time. The actual speed isn’t important. The road to progress is not always smooth. 100 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. A．They made slow progress towards the mountain top. B．Most progress often comes with setbacks (挫折) along the way. C．We should also stay with people who believe in our success and actively support us. D．Even if progress is slow, try not to be worried. E．We need to know that problems are part of our life. F．The student is showing rapid progress in his studies. G．Making any kind of progress can make us healthy and happy in life. 话题5 方法与策略 Passage 1 How to improve your memory? Do you find it difficult to remember important facts and figures? Or have you ever forgotten someone’s name at the worst possible moment? 101 Exercise regularly That’s right; we mean physical exercise.

When were chopsticks invented? Long long time ago, Chinese ancestors actually also used hands to eat. About 3,000 years ago during the Shang Dynasty, Chinese people started to use chopsticks. During the pre-Qin period, chopsticks were called “Jia”. 2 Because “Zhu” shares the same pronunciation with “stop” in Chinese, which is an unlucky word, by the Ming Dynasty, people began to call them “Kuai”, meaning “fast” in Chinese. 3    Who invented chopsticks? 4 One is that Jiang Ziya was inspired to create chopsticks by a mythical bird. Another one is that Daji, the favorite consort (妃子) of King Zhou of Shang, invented chopsticks in order to please the king. It is also said that Yu the Great, who founded the Xia Dynasty, used sticks to pick up hot food in order to save time to control floods. So, chopsticks came into being. 5 When eating with the elders, Chinese people usually let the elders take up chopsticks before anyone else. Besides, playing with chopsticks is thought to be a bad manner. It’s also impolite to tap chopsticks on the edge of one’s bowl, because in ancient China, beggars often did it to attract attention. A．What should we pay attention to when using chopsticks? B．What else should we know about the history of chopsticks? C．And in the Qin and Han dynasties, they were called “Zhu”.

But now, we write from left to right in horizontal rows (横行).Why did this change? This has to do with the writing tools and habits that people had back then. 6 The thin slips were connected by small pieces of string. People wrote from top to bottom on one piece and then another. The slips were then connected together into one long passage. 7 While opening a roll, people usually held it with their right hand and opened it with their left hand. 8 Near the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) some scholars began to spread Western ideas and suggested that Chinese people follow the Western writing habit. In 1917, linguist (语言学家) Qian Xuantong wrote a letter to the New Culture Movement leader Chen Duxiu, suggesting writing Chinese characters from left to right. He said that if we used our right hands to write, it would be easier to begin from the left. It would be more comfortable to read, too. 9 In the early 1950s, famous overseas Chinese businessman and philanthropist (慈善家) Chen Jiageng and Chinese writer Guo Moruo raised this suggestion again. Gradually, the texts of newspapers, magazines and books were printed in horizontal rows. 10 A．It’s better to write from the left-hand side. B．People got used to writing from left to right in rows. C．After being connected, the slips were rolled up (卷起来). D．Before paper was created, people wrote on bamboo slips (竹简). E．However, this idea wasn’t widely accepted.

And they call themselves the “descendants (后代) of the dragon”. Heroes in many Chinese legends flew on dragons or looked to dragons for help. In Journey to the West, the Monkey King got the golden cudgel (金箍棒) from the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea. 13 And it became his helper. There are many old Chinese sayings about the dragon. For example, one saying refers to a story about Lord Ye, who liked dragons very much, and had dragon decorations all over his house. His love of dragons became so well known that one day a real dragon decided to pay him a visit. At the first sight of the dragon. Lord Ye ran away in fear. 14 The saying “Lord Ye loved dragons” is used in the same way as “He talks the talk, but can’t walk the walk” is used in English. 15 In the story, he painted four dragons on a wall but did not fill in the eyes. Since the paintings were so beautiful and realistic, many people wished that Zhang could finish the painting. As soon as he finished the eyes on the first two dragons, the sky drew dark, and there was a lightning flash. The two dragons with painted eyes came to life and flew away, up into the clouds. Inspired by this, the saying “Paint the dragon and dot the eyes” means to add the final and key point. In short, the dragon is considered an important and admired part of Chinese culture. It is something that should be welcomed. A．Also, a son of the Dragon King of the Western Sea turned into Monk Tang’s white horse.

During the winter season 27 People with this condition wear a special hat, the hat has a light in it which is very similar to sunlight. By wearing this hat, people can feel happy all winter. Perhaps the opposite of this is wearing sunglasses. Many people feel more relaxed if they wear sunglasses. 28 Or it might be because they think they look cool in sunglasses. Plus, people who wear sunglasses can look at other people without anyone knowing! 29 Whale songs are very popular because of the soft voices and calm rhythms and so are the sounds of waterfalls and bird songs. Sound also affects people’s mood and health. Medical studies have shown that certain kinds of music, such as gentle classical music, can lower people’s blood pressure and heart rate. This is important for people who have heart problems. Of course 30 Isn’t it amazing that so many things can change our mood and health?

According to recent studies, the answer is yes: 31 Here, we look at two examples. A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. 32 The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly. 33 Think about violinists in an orchestra (管弦乐队). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise. Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. 34 Why does this work? Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged (损坏的) parts. This might help patients use that part of the brain again. Music improves concentration (注意力), memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. 35 Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp (敏锐的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable but also good for us in many other ways. A．It can even help sick people get better. B．Music helps people solve some hearing problems. C．Music improves certain language abilities in the brain. D．The violinists develop their memories by playing the violin. E．Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. F．Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak. G．In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. 【答案】31．C 32．G 33．E 34．F 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲了音乐和语言之间的联系，详细的介绍了两个例子来告诉我们音乐在许多方面对我们是有益的。 31．根据“Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes:”可知，空处应是说音乐和语言之间的联系，C项“音乐可以提高大脑的某些语言能力。”符合语境，故选C。 32．根据后文“The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.”可知，是说两组人在听一个人说话。选项G“在他的研究中，两组人在嘈杂的房间里听一个人说话。”符合语境。故选G。 33．根据这一段最后“In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.”可知，本文说的是音乐家门的听力。选项E“音乐家的听力更好，因为他们学会了注意某些声音。”符合语境。故选E。 34．根据前文“Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing”可知，是说Schlaug医生的病人不能正常地说出他们的姓名、地址或其他信息，但仍然可以唱歌。选项F“Schlaug惊讶地发现，唱歌有助于他的病人说话。”符合语境。故选F。 35．根据“Music improves concentration (注意力), memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities.”可知，此处是讲音乐的好处。A项“它甚至可以帮助病人变得更好。”符合语境，故选A。 Passage 3 The blood type is helpful in deciding one’s character.

Scientists call these “smart colors” because they change when something important happens. This helps keep us safe, saves money and even protects the Earth. In some hospitals, nurses wear special wristbands (腕带) that turn bright red if nurses forget to wash hands. This is a gentle reminder to wash hands before touching a patient. 41 These tiny color changes of wristbands make patients feel safe while staying in the hospital. On highways, engineers can use “temperature paint” on bridges. When the air drops below freezing, the grey road slowly turns bright white, warning drivers that ice may be hiding there. 42 . Inside your kitchen, smart labels (标签) on milk cartons change from green to orange if the milk has been left out too long. 43 Families can throw the milk away before anyone gets sick. Also, supermarkets will remove the milk if it isn’t fresh. Even sports can use colors as signals (信号). Smart running shoes will turn purple when the rubber is worn out. 44 Coaches say this simple purple stripe prevents many ankle and knee hurt, saving athletes weeks of painful treatment. However, today’s smart colors often need batteries (电池) or special chemicals. Researchers are now working on “self-powered” pigments (色素) that only need light or heat. 45 One day, our T-shirts may change color with the weather, telling us when to carry an umbrella or take it off, making life both easier and greener. A．They hope such pigments will make smart colors cheaper and greener. B．Similarly, wristbands of football players will turn bright yellow when they’re hot. C．The colour signals will tell you to change for a new pair of shoes before you get hurt. D．Patients simply look at the wristbands and know whether the nurses’ hands are safe. E．The brighter it turns, the more careful drivers become, so accidents drop sharply in winter. F．This small change will not only help us eat healthily, but also be of some help to the supermarkets. G．Without the bright colourful paint, many accidents could happen, especially on dark evenings. 【答案】41．D 42．E 43．F 44．C 45．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主旨在于介绍“智能颜色”这一科技概念，通过医院、公路、厨房和运动等领域的实际应用案例，阐述了其如何通过颜色变化传递重要信息，从而保障安全、节约资源、促进健康，并展望了其更绿色、更便捷的未来。 41．根据上文“nurses wear special wristbands that turn bright red if nurses forget to wash hands. This is a gentle reminder to wash hands before touching a patient.”和下文“These tiny color changes of wristbands make patients feel safe while staying in the hospital.”可知，腕带变红是提醒护士洗手，而下文提到腕带颜色变化让患者安心；因此，这里必须具体说明颜色变化如何让病人感到安全；选项D“患者只需看腕带就知道护士的手是否安全。”完美地衔接了上下文，解释了颜色变化与病人安全感之间的直接联系。故选D。 42．根据上文“When the air drops below freezing, the grey road slowly turns bright white, warning drivers that ice may be hiding there.”可知，公路桥梁的温度涂料在冰点下会从灰色变白色，警示司机有冰；选项E“颜色变得越亮，司机越小心，冬季事故大幅减少。”进一步解释“白色警示”带来的实际效果 (减少事故)，符合场景延伸逻辑。故选E。 43．根据上文“Inside your kitchen, smart labels on milk cartons change from green to orange if the milk has been left out too long.”和下文“Families can throw the milk away before anyone gets sick. Also, supermarkets will remove the milk if it isn’t fresh.”可知，牛奶盒智能标签若放置过久会从绿色变橙色，而下文分述“家庭避免喝坏牛奶”和“超市处理不新鲜牛奶”；选项F“这个小变化不仅帮我们健康饮食，还对超市有帮助。”总起下文“家庭+超市”的双重益处，起到承上启下的作用。故选F。 44．根据上文“Smart running shoes will turn purple when the rubber is worn out.”和下文“Coaches say this simple purple stripe prevents many ankle and knee hurt, saving athletes weeks of painful treatment.”可知，智能跑鞋在橡胶磨损时会变紫色，而下文提到“紫色条纹预防脚踝和膝盖受伤”；选项C“颜色信号会在你受伤前提醒你换一双新鞋。”衔接“变紫色”的信号与“预防受伤”的结果，解释跑鞋颜色变化的具体作用，逻辑紧密。故选C。 45．根据上文“However, today’s smart colors often need batteries or special chemicals. Researchers are now working on ‘self-powered’ pigments that only need light or heat.”和下文“One day, our T-shirts may change color with the weather, telling us when to carry an umbrella or take it off, making life both easier and greener.”可知，如今智能颜色需要电池或特殊化学物质，研究者正研发“自供电”色素 (仅需光或热)，而下文畅想“未来T恤随天气变色；选项A“他们希望这类色素能让智能颜色更便宜、更环保。”承接“研发自供电色素”的动作，说明研发目的，同时为下文“更环保的未来应用”铺垫，符合发展逻辑。故选A。 Passage 5 Sleep plays an important role in brain development. Children should get enough sleep. 46 A study says that because of being short of sleep, it is much harder for children to do something carefully. 47 Another study shows that the right amount of night- time sleep is just as important for children’s development as healthy eating and taking exercise. 48 In general a younger child needs more sleep than an older one. Children at the age of 5-11 will need 10-12 hours of sleep a night while children at the age of more than 11 will need fewer hours. In fact, many parents don’t know how to help their children get enough sleep. Here is something you can do. For children at the age of 5-11, a 30~40 minutes’ routine (常规) before sleep is helpful. 49 In the activities, children relax and enjoy themselves a lot, and they will go to sleep more easily. Children at the age of more than 11 may go to bed late in the evening, talking with friends online, playing games or watching TV. 50 And even they will be tired during the day. So limit your children’s use of the Internet, games and the TV before they go to bed. And don’t allow them to have a computer or TV set in their bedroom. A．Why does a child need so much sleep? B．How many hours of sleep is enough for a child? C．So they will find it difficult to get up in the next morning. D．It includes a bath, reading a story together and so on. E．Taking exercise is as important as enough sleep for children. F．And also they become forgetful and easy to make mistakes. G．Why do many teenagers have energy to play computer games until late at night? 【答案】46．A 47．F 48．B 49．D 50．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了睡眠对小孩大脑发育起着重要的作用。 46．根据“A study says that because of being short of sleep, it is much harder for children to do something carefully.”可知，此处解释孩子要有充足睡眠的原因，空处是在提出问题，A选项“为什么一个孩子需要这么多的睡眠？”符合语境。故选A。 47．根据“because of being short of sleep, it is much harder for children to do something carefully”可知，此处继续讲睡眠不足对孩子的不良影响，F选项“他们也变得健忘，容易犯错。”符合语境。故选F。 48．根据“In general a younger child needs more sleep than an older one. Children at the age of 5-11 will need 10-12 hours of sleep a night while children at the age of more than 11 will need less hours.”可知，此处解释了孩子所需的睡眠时间，因此空处在询问时间，B选项“一个孩子睡多少小时足够？”符合语境。故选B。 49．根据“In the activities, children relax and enjoy themselves a lot, and they will go to sleep more easily.”可知，空处应列举一些常规活动，D选项“包括洗个澡，一起读个故事等等。”符合语境。故选D。 50．根据“And even they will be tired during the day.”可知，空处指出了晚睡导致的问题，C选项“所以他们会发现第二天早上很难起床。”符合语境。故选C。 话题3 教育与青少年问题 Passage 1 Today’s teens have grown up online. 51 . They do homework online. And surely they get their news online. But because they are so comfortable with the Internet, they seldom question the news stories online. Now William Colglazier, a history teacher at a high school in America, is teaching his students how to think critically (批判性地) about online information and recognize a “fake (假的) news” story. His idea came from a study on people’s online reasoning at Stanford University 52 . Most middle school students in the study could not tell the difference between an advertisement and a news story, and high school and college students fully trusted the websites ending in “.org” . The good news is that, according to Colglazier, once teens realize they’ve been cheated, they have strong will to tell truth from lies. “ 53 and how to recognize when others use poor argumentation (论据),” he said. Some of the advice that Colglazier offers his students includes moving off the site to find more information about the site and the writer’s motivations (动机) and the organization behind the news story. 54 He hopes more kids would thinking critically when they read news online. “ 55 ”, he said. “If people cannot tell real news from fake news, the results can be frightening.” A．The Internet is both beautiful an ugly. B．They make friends online. C．The study found that young people lack ability to tell truth form lies. D．The study found that young people lack ability to reason about information on the Internet.

It is equally important to be aware of the issues, sometimes big problems, that can make a teen turn into unhelpful behavior and development. A strong family environment and culture will certainly help a teen in facing various problems, but it is impossible to protect teens from hurt. 56 57 The close connection that teens have to social media is bound to influence their emotions and thoughts. In the past, teenagers would be on the phone calling and speaking to their friends. 58 Just like other parts of the internet, there are some dark rooms where teens wander but do not emerge unscathed (毫发无损). A friendly and comfortable environment matters a lot to the healthy growth of teens. Like the Hotel California where you can check out but never leave, so disturbing (令人不安地) sights and sounds cannot be unseen or unheard. 59 Parents and caregivers are in a wonderful position to provide love, support, and patience to their teens while they help them in managing all kinds of problems. 60 while others may be physical or mental health conditions. A．One feature of teenagers is that they are highly connected to social groups. B．They will influence the emotional happiness of your teenager.

Or do boys and girls need to be together to learn to get along? 61 Some people believe that single-gender (单性别的) schools are the best choice. Others believe that schools with both genders give kids a stronger start. 62 In the mid-1990s, there were only two single-gender public schools in the United States. Today, more than 500 public schools in 40 states have only boy students, only girl students or some classes that are single-gender. 63 Girls usually do well with lots of class discussions while boys need to learn by doing. So, single-gender education would meet their different learning needs. The writers of a new report in Science magazine reviewed research about single-gender schools. 64 They say it reduces boys’ and girls’ chances to work together. After all, they’re going to be in the workplace with people of the other gender sooner or later. “The more time boys spend playing with other boys, the more boy-like they become. In other words, boys who often play with other boys become more aggressive (好斗的),” the article says. “ 65 ” The writers also say no study shows that single-gender schooling leads to higher scores or better performances. A．Similarly, girls who spend more time with other girls become more gender-typed. B．Single-gender education is on the rise. C．Their report disagrees with this kind of education. D．Whenever kids get together, there are chances for them to influence each other. E．Different people have different opinions. F．Boys and girls must be taught in separate classrooms.

It’s like a fun classroom where you can learn different subjects all at once! 71 Science is everywhere in cooking. When you make bread, the yeast (酵母) eats sugar and makes bubbles of gas. 72 When you cook meat and it turns brown and smells good, that’s cool chemistry. Also, think about heating water, which shows how heat moves. It is all about physics. 73 You need to follow the instructions when you mix materials, like “adding 1/4 spoon of salt”. Sometimes you have to make some changes to feed more or fewer people. That means doing math. Even buying the required materials with low cost teaches you math. Food has a lot of history. Pasta didn’t start in Italy—it came from Asia long ago! Spices (香料) were once traded like gold, and this changed how countries talked to each other. 74 In hot places, people grow more different foods than in cold places. Learning about these things helps you understand how the world works. Cooking is like a secret key that opens the door to learning many subjects. It’s not just about making yummy food. 75 Schools should teach cooking because it helps students see how everything in learning is connected! A．Geography also matters. B．This is biology in action.

One day, he said to his parents, “Now, I am big enough. This holiday, I can go to my grandparents’ house alone. 82 ” The parents said yes, but they were worried about him. So they taught him everything he needed to know to travel alone. The day came when the boy was to leave for his grandparents’ house. His parents came to the train station to see him off. While waiting, the boy’s father handed him a letter and said, “Son, if you feel afraid on the way, open this letter and read it. 83 ” The train began to move and the boy was very excited. It stopped at every station and people kept coming and going. At one station, a big man got on the train and sat next to the boy. The boy got a little scared. 84 He opened the letter, “Don’t be afraid. I am here with you on this train.” Just after reading the letter, all his fear was gone. In fact, life is like that.

How can you start the journey of self-discovery? Here are four tips for you. 87 You may have different kinds of abilities. It could be about your ability to express yourself, your ability to understand others or your skills at football. But which of them are you proud of? You need to find out the answer. This will help you know yourself better. Get out of your comfort zone (舒适区). It is always comfortable to stay in your familiar (熟悉的) area.
