There is an ancient story behind it. During the Qing Dynasty, Minister Zhang Ying received a letter from his family back in his hometown of Tongcheng one day. From the letter, Zhang learned that his family had quarrelled with their neighbour Wu and his family over the boundary between their houses. Since both families held strong power in Tongcheng, the disagreement was never solved. Zhang’s family wrote the letter hoping that Zhang could make their neighbour give in. However, Zhang replied with a poem saying, “Writing a letter from home, miles away, just for a wall. All that fuss (大发牢骚) over one metre or two. Look at the long Great Wall. Long gone is its builder Emperor Qinshihuang.” His reply made the family members realize that the wall was only a temporary (暂时的) matter and that the close relationship with their neighbour was more important. So, they decided to move their wall back about one metre. In turn, the Wu family was deeply touched by this act and moved back another metre while building their wall. It created an about two-metre-wide narrow “alley” between the houses. Today, Tongcheng has become a national historical and cultural city. And the alley shows the values of tolerance and harmony (宽容与和谐) that are widely admired in China. 根据短文内容回答问题（每小题答案不超过10个单词）。 1．How wide is “Liu Chi Xiang”? 2．Where is Zhang Ying’s Hometown? 3．Why did Zhang Ying’s family write to him? 4．Who built the long Great Wall? 5．What do you think “Liu Chi Xiang” represents? Passage 2 A new collection has put the spotlight on qipao. Hu Sheguang, known for his creative designs and amazing shows, presented 100 fancy qipao dresses at the CP Center in Beijing during the 2024 AW Beijing Fashion Week. There are four different styles: Flowery Woman, French-style Elegance, Rock’n’ Roll, and Neo-Chinese Style. These new designs changed how people viewed the traditional Chinese dress that had been around for a century and gave a new look to the old-fashioned Chinese dress. Qipao first appeared in the 1920s as a loose dress like the one-piece gowns that men wore and then became popular among young women. About ten years later, the dress was changed to fit women’s bodies better, making it a must-have among fashionable women, especially in Shanghai, which was considered the fashion capital of China. In the 1940s, qipao became more form-fitting (合身的) with a high collar and tight sleeves. By the 1950s, it had become a symbol of elegance. Today, many women in China still wear qipao for formal occasions. Traditional qipao dresses are usually made of silk, which can be expensive. However, Hu’s designs used different materials, including cotton, linen and leather, to make sure that more women could afford qipao. Hu also made a change to the dress’s buttons (纽扣). Instead of the traditional knot buttons, which can be difficult to tie and untie, he used zippers (拉链) in his designs. “Chinese qipao is usually custom-made to show the wearer’s individuality. Qipao is also so inclusive that it can be worn for different events, allowing every woman to be fashionable,” Hu said. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 6．What is Hu Sheguang known for? 7．How many styles are in Hu’s qipao designs? 8．When did Qipao become more form-fitting? 9．How did Hu make sure that more women could afford qipao? 10．What do you think of Qipao? Passage 3 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每题答案不超过5个单词。 In Tongren city, Guizhou province, there is a special embroidery called leaf-vein embroidery (叶脉刺绣). This type of embroidery began in the Song Dynasty. It was used for communication among different ethnic groups in southwestern China. Making leaf-vein embroidery is not easy. It takes a lot of steps, including choosing the right leaves, drying them, creating the designs and embroidering. Yang Li, a master of this craft (手艺), mentioned that in the last ten years, only about 20 people could complete the whole process by themselves. Because of the long, hard work, passing on the traditional craft faces challenges. “I have introduced this art to universities, communities and villages, but very few people have continued to do it,” Yang said. “I feel a duty (责任).In my lifetime, I must pass on this craft.” she said. In 2022, Yang set up the Guizhou embroidery intangible cultural heritage base (黔绣非物质文化遗产基地) and started to share traditional skills of leaf-vein embroidery by making short videos online. “Leaf-vein embroidery is a treasure. I hope more young people will return to their hometowns to continue its legacy.” Yang said. 11．In which dynasty did leaf-vein embroidery begin? 12．How many steps are mentioned to make leaf-vein embroidery? 13．What does Yang Li think her duty is? 14．How did Yang Li share the skills of leaf-vein embroidery online? 15．Please list one way for teenagers to pass on traditional culture. Passage 4 Chinese people like the red colour a lot. Even now, Chinese people like to call ourselves Chizi, meaning the red descendant (子孙). Red represents the motherland and authority (权威). Official uniforms of the Tang dynasty were red. In the Qing dynasty, red was used on official caps to show different rankings (等级). As we know, the Five-starred Red Flag was first raised on October 1st, 1949. Even nowadays, headlines of official documents (文件) are painted in red. This is why they are called red-head documents. For ordinary people, red stands for happiness. For example, “double happiness” used for weddings is red. The bride (新娘) wears red clothes which are different from the white gowns of the West. During the Chinese Spring Festival, people will give red packets to the children to express good wishes. Couplets (对联) hanging on both sides of the doors are written in red. The word red equals beauty. The expression hongyan, meaning red colour, is a synonym (代名词) of a beautiful girl. Red is also one of the most popular words used in the names of Chinese women. But in traffic lights, red means stop driving. This is how the Westerners like to use the red colour. It is because red is very bright, and is good for warning purposes. But it doesn’t really have any negative (负面的) meanings. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过5个词。 16．What does Chizi mean? 17．When was the Five-starred Red Flag first raised? 18．What are official documents called when the headlines are painted in red? 19．Why will people give red packets to the children? 20．What do you think of the red colour? Passage 5 Do you know crosstalk? It’s also known for its Chinese name xiangsheng. It is a famous Chinese show in the form of a dialogue usually between two people. The art form came into being (开始存在) in Beijing in the late Qing dynasty. It began as a form of the street show, and it also borrowed from other arts, such as Beijing opera and pingshu. No matter what the form is, crosstalk just wants to make people laugh. Crosstalk is one of China’s most important and popular performing arts. In the past, people usually enjoyed crosstalk in tea houses. Nowadays, you can watch it on TV or go to the theatre with your family. Of course, you can also listen to it on the radio while taking a walk or driving a car. Modern crosstalk usually has four basic skills: speaking, imitating (模仿), teasing (逗笑) and singing. It’s difficult for performers to master (掌握) all of them. Some stories come from everyday life, popular ideas and hot news. Some come from history stories. During the show, sometimes one performer is “angry” with the other because of their different ideas. Crosstalk is full of fun. So if something makes you stressed, you can enjoy crosstalk shows to relax. 回答下面 5 个问题， 每题答案不超过 6 个词 。 21．When did crosstalk come into being in Beijing? 22．Where did people enjoy crosstalk in the past? 23．What basic skills does modern crosstalk usually have? 24．Why is one performer “angry” with the other during the show? 25．What does the writer think of crosstalk? 话题2 科普知识与现代技术 Passage 1 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 A Timely Business April 15, 1860—A special day! The Pony Express, a fast mail delivery service, successfully completed its first journey from Saint Joseph in Missouri to Sacramento in California. This exciting journey began on April 3. The Pony Express hired skilled horse riders to carry letters and small packages. They promised delivery from one end of the run to the other in 10 days or less! Finally, there was a way to communicate with friends and family who live far away. You would not have to depend on slow boats or stagecoaches. About 180 riders, 400 fast horses, and 190 pony express stations made up the pony express. Its riders were mainly of small build, and many were teenagers. A day’s work was made up of about a 75-mile trip, with stops at several stations. The stations were about 10 to 15 miles apart. Riders earned about $100 to $150 a month. The Pony Express worked day and night to make sure important letters and packages arrived on time. October 26, 1861—Sad news for the pony express. After only about 19 months, the service closed its doors because of the opening of the telegraph (电报), a device that has changed long-distance communication. The Pony Express lost a lot of money and had to stop. Before closing, the Pony Express set a record that delivering a package took just 7 days and 17 hours from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California. 26．When did the pony express finish its first journey? 27．What made up the pony express? 28．How many stations would a rider of the pony express pass by in a day at least? 29．Why did the pony express close its doors? 30．How do you usually communicate with your far-away friends? Why? (请自拟一句话作答) Passage 2 请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。 Covered by snow and ice, Antarctica (南极洲) is the coldest and most mysterious continent on Earth. However, this wild place still attracts people who wish to go there. The Antarctic is a good place to research the land, ocean, air, ice shelves and biology. The Antarctic also has rich resources including coal, fresh water and seafood. More than 30 countries have built research stations in the Antarctic. During the past 40 years, China has built five stations: Changcheng, Zhongshan, Taishan, Kunlun and Qinling. With annual (年度的) average temperature of -25 to-30 ℃ in the Antarctic, scientists there don’t have many choices for traveling. If the weather is good, scientists will go outside to collect samples of water, rocks and other things. But when it’s too cold or windy outside, which happens quite often, they have to stay indoors. There are all kinds of laboratories at their stations. However, they do more than just research. The scientists there have found many ways to relax. At Zhongshan Station, for example, there is a field where they can play basketball, volleyball and badminton. Zhongshan Station is not far from stations built by Russia, India and Australia. Sometimes, people from the four stations will meet and hold big parties and sports events. Although life in the Antarctic can be hard, people there get to learn more about the unknown world and enjoy the beauty of nature. That might be the best part of visiting the area. 31．What resources does Antarctica have? 32．How many countries have built research stations in the Antarctic so far? 33．What do scientists do when the weather is good in the Antarctic? 34．Scientists do research, what else can they do at Zhongshan Station? 35．Why do people continue to explore Antarctica? Passage 3 阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。每小题答案不超过10个单词。 Have you ever noticed small details that others miss? Do you often think deeply about things? If so, you might be one of the Highly Sensitive (敏感) People (HSP). Research shows that about 30% of people are born with this special feature. It is not a weakness or a flaw—it is actually a unique gift that allows you to experience the world in a deeper way. Highly sensitive people process information more thoroughly than others. They often notice subtle textures, unspoken emotions, and creative ideas that many might overlook. This quality brings many advantages. The most well-known is creativity. In fact, many famous artists, musicians, and scientists are highly sensitive. Charles Darwin, for example, used his careful observation and deep thinking to develop the theory of evolution. Besides creativity, sensitive people are also good at decision-making. Studies have found that they perform better in tasks that require them to recognize patterns and make thoughtful choices. Another important advantage is the “Boost Effect”. It means that highly sensitive people benefit (获益) more from training, support, and positive environments. For example, in marriage counseling programs, sensitive couples showed greater improvement and higher joy after receiving guidance. For students who are highly sensitive, this feature can be a powerful tool in learning. They often benefit from quiet study environments, detailed instructions, and opportunities to reflect deeply on what they learn. Teachers can help by offering encouragement and allowing them to express their ideas in creative ways. By using their sensitivity, these students can achieve better understanding and remaining of knowledge. You cannot change your natural sensitivity, nor should you try to hide it. The best way is to accept it and use it as a strength. Learn to appreciate your deep feeling and careful thinking. Show your true self to the world. Whether in study or in life, sensitivity is not a burden— it is a gift waiting to be opened. 36．What percentage of people are highly sensitive? 37．What are the important advantages of sensitive people? 38．Why are sensitive people good at making decisions? 39．How can teachers help highly sensitive students? 40．What should sensitive students do to make better use of their gift? Passage 4 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。每小题答案不超过10个单词。 While the sun shines where you live, it’s night time somewhere else. When you’re eating your breakfast, children in New York City are eating dinner. Why is it happening? It’s mainly because of the Earth’s rotation (旋转) and time zone (时区) division. Here are some facts about time zones. To understand time zones, you need to know about Greenwich Mean Time (格林威治标准时间). GMT is seen as the starting point of time. Time zones across the world use it as their basis. So when discussing time zones, we mean the number of hours that are ahead of or behind Greenwich. The International Date Line (an unreal line) separates one calendar day from the next. Imagine you’re on a boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean (太平洋). You take one step forward, and suddenly, it’s yesterday. You step back, and it’s tomorrow. Sounds like time travel, right? Well, this is exactly what happens at the International Date Line. Jet lag (时差反应), a common experience for travelers crossing many time zones, is a result of the clock inside our bodies trying to adapt to a new daylight and darkness schedule. For example, a traveller moving from New York to London, a five-time zone difference, might feel tired when London is busy with morning activities. So try to change your sleep habits before travelling to reduce the influence of jet lag. 41．What is GMT seen as? 42．When is it in New York city when we eat breakfast at home? 43．What separates one calendar day from the next? 44．Who may experience jet lag? 45．How will you deal with the jet lag if you are going abroad? Passage 5 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每个题目的答案不超过5个单词。 Chinese scientists have created the world’s first robot, GEAIR, that can finish the whole plant breeding process. This is important for hybrid breeding (杂交育种). Hybrid breeding helps plants grow stronger and produce more food. Yuan Longping created hybrid rice that has fed many Chinese people. According to Cell Press, the process usually means taking away the stamens (雄蕊) of the female plant (雌株) and then putting pollen (花粉) from the male plant onto the female plant. This helps the new plants get the best qualities from both parents. For example, if you mix a male plant that doesn’t get sick easily with a female plant that makes a lot of fruit, you can get a new plant that has both of these great qualities. However, hybrid breeding needs workers to do cross-pollination (异花授粉) again and again in a short time. This work takes a lot of time and energy. GEAIR solves the problem. It uses AI visual recognition and positioning (视觉识别和定位) technology to move among crops. After finding flowers, it uses robotic arms to do cross-pollination and finish the whole process. Building the robot was difficult because leaves get in the way, and flowers are very small. Traditional computers cannot easily find them in real time. To fix this, the research team trained a new model with 12,800 pictures of flowers. With this model, GEAIR can pollinate each flower in 15 seconds at a cost much lower than a worker’s yearly pay. 46．What is the name of the robot that can finish the whole plant breeding process? 47．What is one advantage of hybrid breeding? 48．What technology does GEAIR use to move among crops? 49．Why was building GEAIR difficult? (Give one reason.) 50．How long does it take for GEAIR to pollinate each flower? 话题3 社会关怀与人际关系 Passage 1 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Did you know that sign language also has “dialects” (方言)? Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate. Since they can’t hear, talking to hearing people can be hard. Luckily, sign language interpreters (翻译) are there to help. Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her first language, as her parents are deaf. “I began to learn sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law office in Chongqing. Her work takes her to places like courts, where shed interprets for deaf people. As sign language has fewer words, Hao often meets difficult legal terms that have no direct match. In such situations, she carefully explains the meaning for deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. “For example, the words ‘put out a fire’ are signed as a fire put out in sign language because deaf people describe what they see first,” Hao explained. Hao feels stressed at work because accuracy (准确性) is important in legal interpretations. Her stress also comes from the fact that sign language has “dialects”. The same word can be expressed with different hand signs depending on where a deaf person is from. “For example, people in Inner Mongolia and Chongqing use different signs for the word ‘true’,” Hao explained. Having traveled to over 30 cities in China, she has learned about the ways deaf people across the country use sign language. In her spare time, Hao reads many law books and talks with lawyers and her deaf coworkers to improve her professional ability. “My parents are deaf, so I understand the difficulties faced by the deaf community. I want to do everything I can to help them,” Hao said. 51．Who can help deaf people talk to hearing people according to the passage? 52．When did Hao Shuxin start to learn sign language? 53．Why does Hao feel stressed at work? 54．How does Hao improve her professional ability in her free time? 55．What do you think of Hao? And why? (请自拟一句话作答) Passage 2 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过6个单词。 Shari was so excited for her birthday. She thought about the fun party she was going to have and the presents she would get.

This spring she thought of building a go-kart (卡丁车) to enter for the Go-Go Race, so she asked her dad for help. “Well,” he said, “how about designing a go-kart after you do some research first?” A week later, Sally brought her notes and drawings to Dad. She named her go-kart “Blue Lightning”. Dad looked over her work, thinking. “Well, that’s interesting,” he said. “Have a try. Just build Blue Lightning as you’ve designed.” After three weekends of hard work, Sally turned her design into a real, working go-kart and painted it light blue. Dad asked her to take it for a test drive. Sally agreed. After she did that, Sally drove back to Dad. “Well,” she said, “now I know why you wanted me to have a test drive.” “Oh, do you?” he said, “please share.” “When I drove fast, there was a lot of push back,” she said. “I think it’s because of the lightning bolt (闪电) shape.” “Very good!” Dad said. “So, why didn’t you tell me about that problem in the first place?” Sally asked. Dad laughed. “Where’s the fun in that? If you give a man a fish, he’ll eat it for a day. But if you teach a man to fish, he’ll eat for a lifetime.” Sally said, “I see. Anyway, designing is half the fun and the other half is putting the design into practice!” Dad smiled. “Good. Sometimes, learning happens during the process. Next you can go on trying although you’ll make mistakes along the way.” That encouraged Sally and she worked even harder. When she showed Dad her new go-kart, he nodded with pride. Finally came the race. Sally wasn’t worried about whether she would win. In her mind, she had already won, by building something better than ever before. 76．Why did Sally think of building a go-kart? 77．What did Sally’s dad ask her to do after she built the go-kart? 78．According to Sally, what was the fun during building a go-kart? 79．How did Sally’s father feel when he saw Sally’s new go-kart? 80．What do you learn from the passage?

He waited and waited until at last he heard the clock strike One. A light flashed and the bed curtains flew open. Scrooge sat up and found himself face to face with a ghost. It looked like not only a child but also an old man. It had long white hair but a smooth face. It was dressed in a white robe, light shone from its head, and it held a large cap under one arm. “Are you the Ghost that Marley told me about?” asked Scrooge. “I am!” it replied. “Who are you?” Scrooge asked. “I come to help you,” said the Ghost. “Now come with me.” When the Ghost moved toward the window, Scrooge was afraid. “I’m a mortal (凡人)—I’ll fall.” The Ghost laid its hand on Scrooge’s heart and said, “You won’t fall.” They passed through the wall and found themselves on a country road.

Boys on ponies rode toward them, calling “Merry Christmas” happily to one another. “They’re only shadows,” said the Ghost. “They can’t see us.” Scrooge knew these boys. Why did seeing them make him so happy? What did “Merry Christmas” mean to him? “What good has it ever done me?” he wondered. “The school isn’t completely empty,” said the Ghost. “One boy remains.” “I know,” said Scrooge, a tear in his eye.

The young lady was a little afraid and asked her father, “What should I do, stop or keep driving?” Her father said, “Keep driving.” After driving a few kilometers, the storm was becoming heavier and heavier. The young lady noticed that some cars and big transport trucks were pulling over (靠边停) to the side of the road. The young lady asked her father again if they should stop. But her father said nothing. So, she had to keep on driving. Ten minutes later, the storm started to get lighter and she could see a little more clearly. After a couple of kilometers, she drove out of the storm. Moreover, the sun came out and the road ahead was dry. Her father told her to stop and get out of the car. “But why now, Father?” she asked in surprise. Her father said, “When you get out, you can look back at all the people in cars and big trucks that gave up and they are still in the storm. Now, your storm is over because you didn’t give up.” Don’t give up, even if the strong do. If you keep going, soon your “personal storms” will be over.

However, there wasn’t any climbing club in his school at first, so he felt sad. At the beginning of the second year of school, his school offered rock climbing lessons in order to encourage (鼓励) students to exercise. He was so happy that he joined at once. In the first lesson, the coach said, “Rock climbing needs strength, speed, courage and persistence (坚持). All these are necessary.” But in Bob’s opinion, rock climbing was just a fun activity. It interested him. During the following classes, the coach asked the students to run 1,000 metres first, and then climb with a rope. When Bob finished running, he almost lost his breath (呼吸) and got bored, and he even did not want to touch the rope. He thought it was less interesting than before. The coach noticed that and asked him, “Why do you want to take rock climbing lessons?” “I come for fun, of course.” “Is that fun?” he asked. Bob shook his head slowly. The coach then explained patiently, “That’s because you stop halfway. You know, beautiful sights are always on the top.” After hearing his words, Bob made up his mind to finish his journey. When he got to the top in the end, he felt really excited. Sometimes it’s hard to reach the top of the mountain, but it’s a pity to stop halfway, so don’t give up. 96．Why did the school offer rock climbing lessons? 97．What did Bob think of rock climbing at first? 98．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 4？ 99．What did Bob do after the talk with the coach? 100．What can you learn from Bob’s coach’s words? 话题5 方法与策略 Passage 1 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。（每题答案不超过6个词） A designer is a person who has ideas. But that’s not all. A designer plans how to make those ideas happen. A set of steps should be followed. Step One is defining (界定) a problem or need. A theater puts on a show. Actors wearing costumes act on a lighted stage. Set designers design the stage sets. Lighting designers decide what lights to use. Costume designers choose clothes for the actors to wear. Together they form the design team. They share the same need, which is making the show happen. Step Two is defining a successful result. The desired result is different for different kinds of designers. A fashion designer designs clothing styles. Because stores need people to keep buying, fashion designers need to design clothes that people will buy. The clothes should be different from older clothes. Step Three is to describe the situation as it is now. A landscape designer plans outdoor areas. The designer looks carefully at the piece of land. Is it flat or hilly? What kind of soil does it have? What plants grow well in that soil? How do people want to use this land? The designer uses all this information in planning. Step Four is to understand the user. The designer needs to know who will use the product. Software designers write computer programs. They think about the user sitting in front of the screen. Step Five is to make a detailed plan. Architects design buildings. They plan the size and shape of each room, and decide what materials to use. All the details are on a drawing called a blueprint. The builders will follow this blueprint. The building will be exactly like the plan. Last but not least, designers should work with other people to turn the design into the real thing. Fashion designers need people to sew the clothes. Landscape designers need workers to plant the plants. Designers are artists, scientists, and inventors. They work in the present, but they are planners for the future. 101．How many steps should the designer take to make his/her ideas happen? 102．How does the design team make the show happen on the stage in Paragraph 2? 103．Who should the designers try to understand? 104．What drawing is a new house built based on? 105．What’s a proper title for this passage? Passage 2 阅读回答问题，答案不超过6个词。 You can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes. The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and other greenhouse gases, which are closely connected to the big problem of global-warming (全球变暖). Way 1:Bring your own cup to Starbucks. You’ll get a 10-cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a dustbin. The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup. Way 2 : Turn off your computer. When in standby mode (待机模式), your PC is still using energy. Turning off a monitor (显示器) for 40 hours a week may only save $5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds! Way 3: Reuse plastic bags. Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag. You’re reducing pollution. The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile. Way 4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom. Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests previously untouched by humans. If every family took the place of one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424, 000 trees would still be standing. Way 5: Plant a free. Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing. Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5, 000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year. 106．What is happening when your PC is in standby mode? 107．What’s the advantage of using recycled paper in the bathroom? 108．How many ways are mentioned in the passage?   109．What other ways do you usually do to protect the environment? 110．What’s the passage about?

You should always look on the bright side of life, and imagine that you will have a happy and successful future. Learn to relax. Make yourself take a breath from your studies and worries about exams. You can do this by taking a walk, reading a book, going to a concert or seeing a film, or just sitting in a quiet place and being silent for a moment. Always take up a hobby. Learn to paint or skate, or start playing a musical instrument. When you are busy with a hobby, you leave all your worries behind. Take care of your body. Stress is your body’s enemy. Taking regular exercise, eating a healthy diet and getting enough sleep are all the things that can help you. Laugh. Sometimes laughter is the best medicine for stress. Seeing a funny film or telling jokes with friends will often 4 when you are low. 注：每题答案不超过6个词。 111．Why do many students suffer from stress? 112．Is stress a serious problem or not? 113．How many ways are offered to deal with stress in this passage? 114．Which phrase can be put here to make the sentence clear? 115．What do you usually do to deal with stress? Passage 4 阅读与回答问题。 Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common. Creating an interest in what they learn Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something interesting. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not get bored. Practicing and learning from mistakes Good learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more. Remember, “Use it or lose it!” Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. “Practice makes perfect.” Good learners will keep practicing what they have learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes. Developing their study skills It is not enough to just study hard. Good learners know the best ways they can study. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words. They also look for ways to go over what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student. Asking questions Good learners often ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning. Learning is a lifelong journey because every day brings something new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well. 116．According to the passage, what can make you become a successful learner? 117．What do good learners often do? 118．Why is it important to practice using what you’ve learned? 119．According to the writer, how may good learners take notes? 120．What is the last good learning habit in the passage? Passage 5 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。（每题答案不超过10个词） When you wake up at night with worries going through your head, it can be hard for you to fall back to sleep. Knowing what to do can help you when worries stop you from sleeping. It can feel like you’re the only person lying awake with thoughts going around your head in the middle of the night, but it’s usual. Worrying at night feels uncomfortable, so it’s important that you’re kind to yourself. Think about what will help you. That could be waking up an adult to tell him or her about your worries. By paying attention to your body instead of your thoughts, your brain can calm down. One way to do this is to get comfortable in bed, then focusing your attention on your feet. Next, move your attention up to your lower legs, then to your body until you get to the top of your head. If you get to the top of your head and you still can’t sleep, change positions to make you comfortable again, and then slowly do the same exercise, from head to feet. This exercise takes time and you have to really pay attention, so it can help your brain stop worrying, and then you can fall asleep slowly. 121．What does the writer think of lying awake with thought? 122．Who could we ask for help when we wake up at night? 123．How can our brain calm down at night according to the writer? 124．Why does this exercise help us stop worrying? 125．What other ways can we relax our minds at night? 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题11 阅读表达5大常考话题 话题1 传统文化与艺术传承 话题4 哲理与感悟 话题2 科普知识与现代技术 话题5 方法与策略 话题3 社会关怀与人际关系 话题1 传统文化与技艺传承 Passage 1 An about 2-metre-wide alley, or “Liu Chi Xiang” in Chinese, now attracts a large number of visitors in Tongcheng, Anhui. There is an ancient story behind it. During the Qing Dynasty, Minister Zhang Ying received a letter from his family back in his hometown of Tongcheng one day. From the letter, Zhang learned that his family had quarrelled with their neighbour Wu and his family over the boundary between their houses. Since both families held strong power in Tongcheng, the disagreement was never solved. Zhang’s family wrote the letter hoping that Zhang could make their neighbour give in. However, Zhang replied with a poem saying, “Writing a letter from home, miles away, just for a wall. All that fuss (大发牢骚) over one metre or two. Look at the long Great Wall. Long gone is its builder Emperor Qinshihuang.” His reply made the family members realize that the wall was only a temporary (暂时的) matter and that the close relationship with their neighbour was more important. So, they decided to move their wall back about one metre. In turn, the Wu family was deeply touched by this act and moved back another metre while building their wall. It created an about two-metre-wide narrow “alley” between the houses. Today, Tongcheng has become a national historical and cultural city.

Passage 2 A new collection has put the spotlight on qipao. Hu Sheguang, known for his creative designs and amazing shows, presented 100 fancy qipao dresses at the CP Center in Beijing during the 2024 AW Beijing Fashion Week. There are four different styles: Flowery Woman, French-style Elegance, Rock’n’ Roll, and Neo-Chinese Style. These new designs changed how people viewed the traditional Chinese dress that had been around for a century and gave a new look to the old-fashioned Chinese dress. Qipao first appeared in the 1920s as a loose dress like the one-piece gowns that men wore and then became popular among young women. About ten years later, the dress was changed to fit women’s bodies better, making it a must-have among fashionable women, especially in Shanghai, which was considered the fashion capital of China. In the 1940s, qipao became more form-fitting (合身的) with a high collar and tight sleeves. By the 1950s, it had become a symbol of elegance. Today, many women in China still wear qipao for formal occasions. Traditional qipao dresses are usually made of silk, which can be expensive. However, Hu’s designs used different materials, including cotton, linen and leather, to make sure that more women could afford qipao. Hu also made a change to the dress’s buttons (纽扣). Instead of the traditional knot buttons, which can be difficult to tie and untie, he used zippers (拉链) in his designs. “Chinese qipao is usually custom-made to show the wearer’s individuality. Qipao is also so inclusive that it can be worn for different events, allowing every woman to be fashionable,” Hu said. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 6．What is Hu Sheguang known for? 7．How many styles are in Hu’s qipao designs? 8．When did Qipao become more form-fitting? 9．How did Hu make sure that more women could afford qipao? 10．What do you think of Qipao? 【答案】6．His creative designs and amazing shows. 7．Four. 8．In the 1940s. 9．He used different materials. /By using different materials. 10．It’s a symbol of elegance /...（言之有理即可） 【导语】本文主要介绍了胡社光在2024年北京时装周上展示的100件华丽旗袍，并介绍了旗袍的历史和胡社光对旗袍设计的创新。 6．根据“Hu Sheguang, known for his creative designs and amazing shows, presented 100 fancy qipao dresses at the CP Center in Beijing during the 2024 AW Beijing Fashion Week.”可知胡社光以他的创意设计和惊艳秀而闻名。故填His creative designs and amazing shows. 7．根据“There are four different styles: Flowery Woman, French-style Elegance, Rock’n’ Roll, and Neo-Chinese Style.”可知胡的旗袍设计有四种风格。故填Four/4. 8．根据“In the 1940s, qipao became more form-fitting with a high collar and tight sleeves.”可知在20世纪40年代，旗袍变得更合身。故填In the 1940s. 9．根据“However, Hu’s designs used different materials,including cotton,linen and leather,to make sure that more women could afford qipao.”可知胡的设计使用了不同的材料，包括棉花、亚麻和皮革，以确保更多的女性买得起旗袍。故填He used different materials. /By using different materials. 10．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。故填It’s a symbol of elegance /...

Passage 4 Chinese people like the red colour a lot. Even now, Chinese people like to call ourselves Chizi, meaning the red descendant (子孙). Red represents the motherland and authority (权威). Official uniforms of the Tang dynasty were red. In the Qing dynasty, red was used on official caps to show different rankings (等级).

For ordinary people, red stands for happiness. For example, “double happiness” used for weddings is red. The bride (新娘) wears red clothes which are different from the white gowns of the West. During the Chinese Spring Festival, people will give red packets to the children to express good wishes. Couplets (对联) hanging on both sides of the doors are written in red. The word red equals beauty. The expression hongyan, meaning red colour, is a synonym (代名词) of a beautiful girl. Red is also one of the most popular words used in the names of Chinese women.

The Pony Express, a fast mail delivery service, successfully completed its first journey from Saint Joseph in Missouri to Sacramento in California. This exciting journey began on April 3. The Pony Express hired skilled horse riders to carry letters and small packages. They promised delivery from one end of the run to the other in 10 days or less! Finally, there was a way to communicate with friends and family who live far away. You would not have to depend on slow boats or stagecoaches. About 180 riders, 400 fast horses, and 190 pony express stations made up the pony express. Its riders were mainly of small build, and many were teenagers. A day’s work was made up of about a 75-mile trip, with stops at several stations. The stations were about 10 to 15 miles apart. Riders earned about $100 to $150 a month. The Pony Express worked day and night to make sure important letters and packages arrived on time. October 26, 1861—Sad news for the pony express. After only about 19 months, the service closed its doors because of the opening of the telegraph (电报), a device that has changed long-distance communication. The Pony Express lost a lot of money and had to stop. Before closing, the Pony Express set a record that delivering a package took just 7 days and 17 hours from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California. 26．When did the pony express finish its first journey? 27．What made up the pony express? 28．How many stations would a rider of the pony express pass by in a day at least? 29．Why did the pony express close its doors? 30．How do you usually communicate with your far-away friends? Why?

Because it is easy and fast. (言之有理即可） 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了Pony Express (驿马快信) 的历史、运作方式以及它关闭的原因。 26．根据“April 15, 1860—A special day! The Pony Express, a fast mail delivery service, successfully completed its first journey from Saint Joseph in Missouri to Sacramento in California.” 可知，Pony Express 在1860年4月15日完成了它的第一次旅程。故填On April 15,1860. 27．根据“About 180 riders, 400 fast horses, and 190 pony express stations made up the pony express.” 可知，Pony Express 由大约180名骑手、400匹快马和190个驿站组成。故填About 180 riders, 400 fast horses, and 190 pony express stations. 28．根据“A day’s work was made up of about a 75-mile trip, with stops at several stations. The stations were about 10 to 15 miles apart.” 可以计算，骑手一天骑行75英里，驿站之间相距10到15英里，因此骑手一天至少会经过5个驿站（75 ÷ 15 = 5）。故填Five/5 (stations). 29．根据“After only about 19 months, the service closed its doors because of the opening of the telegraph.” 可知，Pony Express 关闭是因为电报的出现。故填Because of the opening of the telegraph (a device that has changed long-distance communication). 30．主观题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：By email/ phone/ letter.

The Antarctic also has rich resources including coal, fresh water and seafood. More than 30 countries have built research stations in the Antarctic. During the past 40 years, China has built five stations: Changcheng, Zhongshan, Taishan, Kunlun and Qinling. With annual (年度的) average temperature of -25 to-30 ℃ in the Antarctic, scientists there don’t have many choices for traveling. If the weather is good, scientists will go outside to collect samples of water, rocks and other things. But when it’s too cold or windy outside, which happens quite often, they have to stay indoors. There are all kinds of laboratories at their stations. However, they do more than just research. The scientists there have found many ways to relax. At Zhongshan Station, for example, there is a field where they can play basketball, volleyball and badminton. Zhongshan Station is not far from stations built by Russia, India and Australia. Sometimes, people from the four stations will meet and hold big parties and sports events. Although life in the Antarctic can be hard, people there get to learn more about the unknown world and enjoy the beauty of nature. That might be the best part of visiting the area. 31．What resources does Antarctica have? 32．How many countries have built research stations in the Antarctic so far? 33．What do scientists do when the weather is good in the Antarctic? 34．Scientists do research, what else can they do at Zhongshan Station? 35．Why do people continue to explore Antarctica? 【答案】31．Coal, fresh water and seafood. 32．More than 30 countries. 33．They will go outside to collect samples of water, rocks and other things. 34．They can play basketball, volleyball and badminton. They also meet people from other stations and hold parties and sports events. 35．Because they want to learn more about the unknown world and enjoy the beauty of nature. 【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家在南极洲的科学研究活动。 31．根据“The Antarctic also has rich resources including coal, fresh water and seafood.”可知，南极拥有丰富的资源，包括煤炭、淡水和海产品。故填Coal, fresh water and seafood. 32．根据“More than 30 countries have built research stations in the Antarctic.”可知，30 多个国家在南极建立了研究站。故填More than 30 countries. 33．根据“If the weather is good, scientists will go outside to collect samples of water, rocks and other things.”可知，如果天气好的话，科学家们就会出去采集水、岩石和其他东西的样本。故填They will go outside to collect samples of water, rocks and other things. 34．根据“At Zhongshan Station, for example, there is a field where they can play basketball, volleyball and badminton...

Passage 3 阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。每小题答案不超过10个单词。 Have you ever noticed small details that others miss? Do you often think deeply about things? If so, you might be one of the Highly Sensitive (敏感) People (HSP). Research shows that about 30% of people are born with this special feature. It is not a weakness or a flaw—it is actually a unique gift that allows you to experience the world in a deeper way. Highly sensitive people process information more thoroughly than others. They often notice subtle textures, unspoken emotions, and creative ideas that many might overlook. This quality brings many advantages. The most well-known is creativity. In fact, many famous artists, musicians, and scientists are highly sensitive. Charles Darwin, for example, used his careful observation and deep thinking to develop the theory of evolution. Besides creativity, sensitive people are also good at decision-making. Studies have found that they perform better in tasks that require them to recognize patterns and make thoughtful choices. Another important advantage is the “Boost Effect”. It means that highly sensitive people benefit (获益) more from training, support, and positive environments. For example, in marriage counseling programs, sensitive couples showed greater improvement and higher joy after receiving guidance. For students who are highly sensitive, this feature can be a powerful tool in learning. They often benefit from quiet study environments, detailed instructions, and opportunities to reflect deeply on what they learn. Teachers can help by offering encouragement and allowing them to express their ideas in creative ways. By using their sensitivity, these students can achieve better understanding and remaining of knowledge. You cannot change your natural sensitivity, nor should you try to hide it. The best way is to accept it and use it as a strength. Learn to appreciate your deep feeling and careful thinking. Show your true self to the world. Whether in study or in life, sensitivity is not a burden— it is a gift waiting to be opened. 36．What percentage of people are highly sensitive? 37．What are the important advantages of sensitive people? 38．Why are sensitive people good at making decisions? 39．How can teachers help highly sensitive students? 40．What should sensitive students do to make better use of their gift? 【答案】36．About 30%. 37．Creativity, good decision-making and “Boost Effect”. 38．They recognize patterns and make thoughtful choices. 39．Offer encouragement and allow them to express ideas creatively. 40．Accept it and use it as a strength. 【导语】本文讲高度敏感的人天生具备的敏感性不是缺点，而是一种独特的天赋 —— 它能让人拥有更强的创造力、决策力和“助推效应”。人们无需改变或隐藏这种特质，而应接受并善用它，让敏感性成为自身的力量。 36．根据第一段的“Research shows that about 30% of people are born with this special feature.”可知，大约30%的人天生具有这种高敏感性。故填About 30%. 37．根据第二、三两段的“The most well-known is creativity.”,“Besides creativity, sensitive people are also good at decision-making.”和“Another important advantage is the “Boost Effect”.”可知，高敏感性能让人拥有更强的创造力、决策力和“助推效应”。故填Creativity, good decision-making and “Boost Effect”. 38．根据第三段的“Studies have found that they perform better in tasks that require them to recognize patterns and make thoughtful choices.”可知，高度敏感的人能识别规律并做出深思熟虑选择。故填They recognize patterns and make thoughtful choices. 39．根据第四段的“Teachers can help by offering encouragement and allowing them to express their ideas in creative ways.”可知，老师通过鼓励和允许这些高度敏感的学生创造性自我表达来帮助他们。故填Offer encouragement and allow them to express ideas creatively. 40．根据第五段的“The best way is to accept it and use it as a strength.”可知，高度敏感的人要接受这种特质并将其当成一种优势。故填Accept it and use it as a strength. Passage 4 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。每小题答案不超过10个单词。 While the sun shines where you live, it’s night time somewhere else. When you’re eating your breakfast, children in New York City are eating dinner. Why is it happening? It’s mainly because of the Earth’s rotation (旋转) and time zone (时区) division. Here are some facts about time zones. To understand time zones, you need to know about Greenwich Mean Time (格林威治标准时间). GMT is seen as the starting point of time. Time zones across the world use it as their basis. So when discussing time zones, we mean the number of hours that are ahead of or behind Greenwich. The International Date Line (an unreal line) separates one calendar day from the next. Imagine you’re on a boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean (太平洋). You take one step forward, and suddenly, it’s yesterday. You step back, and it’s tomorrow. Sounds like time travel, right? Well, this is exactly what happens at the International Date Line. Jet lag (时差反应), a common experience for travelers crossing many time zones, is a result of the clock inside our bodies trying to adapt to a new daylight and darkness schedule. For example, a traveller moving from New York to London, a five-time zone difference, might feel tired when London is busy with morning activities. So try to change your sleep habits before travelling to reduce the influence of jet lag. 41．What is GMT seen as? 42．When is it in New York city when we eat breakfast at home? 43．What separates one calendar day from the next? 44．Who may experience jet lag? 45．How will you deal with the jet lag if you are going abroad? 【答案】41．The starting point of time. 42．It’s dinner time. 43．The International Date Line. 44．Travelers crossing many time zones. 45．Change sleep habits before travelling. 【导语】本文主要介绍了格林威治标准时间的基准作用、国际日期变更线的功能、时差反应的成因及应对方法等关键事实。 41．根据“GMT is seen as the starting point of time.”可知，格林威治标准时间被视为时间的起点。故填The starting point of time. 42．根据“When you’re eating your breakfast, children in New York City are eating dinner.”可知，当你正在吃早餐时，在纽约的孩子正在吃晚餐，即晚餐时间。故填It’s dinner time. 43．根据“The International Date Line (an unreal line) separates one calendar day from the next.”可知，国际日期变更线(一条假想线)将一个日历日与下一个日历日分隔开。故填The International Date Line. 44．根据“Jet lag, a common experience for travelers crossing many time zones, is a result of the clock inside our bodies trying to adapt to a new daylight and darkness schedule.”可知，时差反应是跨越多个时区的旅行者的常见现象，是人体生物钟试图适应新昼夜节律的结果。故填Travelers crossing many time zones. 45．本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，结合实际情况，合理作答即可。故填Change sleep habits before travelling. Passage 5 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每个题目的答案不超过5个单词。 Chinese scientists have created the world’s first robot, GEAIR, that can finish the whole plant breeding process. This is important for hybrid breeding (杂交育种). Hybrid breeding helps plants grow stronger and produce more food. Yuan Longping created hybrid rice that has fed many Chinese people. According to Cell Press, the process usually means taking away the stamens (雄蕊) of the female plant (雌株) and then putting pollen (花粉) from the male plant onto the female plant. This helps the new plants get the best qualities from both parents. For example, if you mix a male plant that doesn’t get sick easily with a female plant that makes a lot of fruit, you can get a new plant that has both of these great qualities. However, hybrid breeding needs workers to do cross-pollination (异花授粉) again and again in a short time. This work takes a lot of time and energy. GEAIR solves the problem. It uses AI visual recognition and positioning (视觉识别和定位) technology to move among crops. After finding flowers, it uses robotic arms to do cross-pollination and finish the whole process. Building the robot was difficult because leaves get in the way, and flowers are very small. Traditional computers cannot easily find them in real time. To fix this, the research team trained a new model with 12,800 pictures of flowers. With this model, GEAIR can pollinate each flower in 15 seconds at a cost much lower than a worker’s yearly pay. 46．What is the name of the robot that can finish the whole plant breeding process? 47．What is one advantage of hybrid breeding? 48．What technology does GEAIR use to move among crops? 49．Why was building GEAIR difficult? (Give one reason.) 50．How long does it take for GEAIR to pollinate each flower? 【答案】46．GEAIR. 47．Plants grow stronger./Produce more food. 48．AI visual recognition and positioning. 49．Leaves get in the way./Because flowers are very small. 50．15 seconds. 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国科学家创造出的世界上首个能完成整个植物育种过程的机器人GEAIR，阐述了杂交育种的好处、杂交育种面临的问题、GEAIR解决问题的方式、制造GEAIR的困难以及其授粉效率等内容。 46．根据第一段首句“Chinese scientists have created the world’s first robot, GEAIR, that can finish the whole plant breeding process.”可知，能完成整个植物育种过程的机器人名字是GEAIR。故填GEAIR. 47．根据第二段首句“Hybrid breeding helps plants grow stronger and produce more food.”可知，杂交育种的一个优势是能让植物长得更强壮或者产出更多食物。故填Plants grow stronger./Produce more food. 48．根据第三段“It uses AI visual recognition and positioning (视觉识别和定位) technology to move among crops.”可知，GEAIR使用人工智能视觉识别和定位技术在作物间移动。故填AI visual recognition and positioning. 49．根据第四段“Building the robot was difficult because leaves get in the way, and flowers are very small.”可知，制造GEAIR困难的原因是叶子会挡住视线，或者花非常小。故填Leaves get in the way./Because flowers are very small. 50．根据第四段“With this model, GEAIR can pollinate each flower in 15 seconds at a cost much lower than a worker’s yearly pay.”可知，GEAIR给每朵花授粉需要15秒。故填15 seconds. 话题3 社会关怀与人际关系 Passage 1 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Did you know that sign language also has “dialects” (方言)? Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate. Since they can’t hear, talking to hearing people can be hard. Luckily, sign language interpreters (翻译) are there to help. Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her first language, as her parents are deaf. “I began to learn sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law office in Chongqing. Her work takes her to places like courts, where shed interprets for deaf people. As sign language has fewer words, Hao often meets difficult legal terms that have no direct match. In such situations, she carefully explains the meaning for deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. “For example, the words ‘put out a fire’ are signed as a fire put out in sign language because deaf people describe what they see first,” Hao explained. Hao feels stressed at work because accuracy (准确性) is important in legal interpretations. Her stress also comes from the fact that sign language has “dialects”. The same word can be expressed with different hand signs depending on where a deaf person is from. “For example, people in Inner Mongolia and Chongqing use different signs for the word ‘true’,” Hao explained. Having traveled to over 30 cities in China, she has learned about the ways deaf people across the country use sign language. In her spare time, Hao reads many law books and talks with lawyers and her deaf coworkers to improve her professional ability. “My parents are deaf, so I understand the difficulties faced by the deaf community. I want to do everything I can to help them,” Hao said. 51．Who can help deaf people talk to hearing people according to the passage? 52．When did Hao Shuxin start to learn sign language? 53．Why does Hao feel stressed at work? 54．How does Hao improve her professional ability in her free time? 55．What do you think of Hao? And why? (请自拟一句话作答) 【答案】51．Sign language interpreters. 52．Before she could even talk. 53．Because accuracy is important in legal interpretations and sign language has “dialects”. 54．In her spare time, Hao reads many law books and talks with lawyers and her deaf coworkers to improve her professional ability. 55．She is hard-working and caring. Because she tries to improve her professional skills in order to help the deaf community. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了手语译员郝舒欣在帮助聋人群体进行法律翻译工作中的挑战和努力。 51．根据“Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate.

This spring she thought of building a go-kart (卡丁车) to enter for the Go-Go Race, so she asked her dad for help. “Well,” he said, “how about designing a go-kart after you do some research first?” A week later, Sally brought her notes and drawings to Dad. She named her go-kart “Blue Lightning”. Dad looked over her work, thinking. “Well, that’s interesting,” he said. “Have a try. Just build Blue Lightning as you’ve designed.” After three weekends of hard work, Sally turned her design into a real, working go-kart and painted it light blue. Dad asked her to take it for a test drive. Sally agreed. After she did that, Sally drove back to Dad. “Well,” she said, “now I know why you wanted me to have a test drive.” “Oh, do you?” he said, “please share.” “When I drove fast, there was a lot of push back,” she said. “I think it’s because of the lightning bolt (闪电) shape.” “Very good!” Dad said. “So, why didn’t you tell me about that problem in the first place?” Sally asked. Dad laughed. “Where’s the fun in that? If you give a man a fish, he’ll eat it for a day. But if you teach a man to fish, he’ll eat for a lifetime.” Sally said, “I see. Anyway, designing is half the fun and the other half is putting the design into practice!” Dad smiled. “Good. Sometimes, learning happens during the process.

He waited and waited until at last he heard the clock strike One. A light flashed and the bed curtains flew open. Scrooge sat up and found himself face to face with a ghost. It looked like not only a child but also an old man. It had long white hair but a smooth face. It was dressed in a white robe, light shone from its head, and it held a large cap under one arm. “Are you the Ghost that Marley told me about?” asked Scrooge. “I am!” it replied. “Who are you?” Scrooge asked. “I come to help you,” said the Ghost. “Now come with me.” When the Ghost moved toward the window, Scrooge was afraid. “I’m a mortal (凡人)—I’ll fall.” The Ghost laid its hand on Scrooge’s heart and said, “You won’t fall.” They passed through the wall and found themselves on a country road. The fog was gone—it was now a clear, cold winter day with snow everywhere. “Heavens,” cried Scrooge. “This is where I grew up.” They walked along while Scrooge recognized every tree and gate. Boys on ponies rode toward them, calling “Merry Christmas” happily to one another. “They’re only shadows,” said the Ghost. “They can’t see us.” Scrooge knew these boys. Why did seeing them make him so happy? What did “Merry Christmas” mean to him? “What good has it ever done me?” he wondered. “The school isn’t completely empty,” said the Ghost. “One boy remains.” “I know,” said Scrooge, a tear in his eye. They reached a large red-brick school building. Entering the dark hall, they found a classroom where a lonely boy read at a desk. Scrooge sat on a bench and cried when he saw himself. After wiping his eyes, Scrooge whispered: “I wish…but it’s too late now.” “What’s wrong?” asked the Ghost. “Nothing,” said Scrooge. “There was a boy singing a Christmas carol at my door last night, but I shouted him away.

But that’s not all. A designer plans how to make those ideas happen. A set of steps should be followed. Step One is defining (界定) a problem or need. A theater puts on a show. Actors wearing costumes act on a lighted stage. Set designers design the stage sets. Lighting designers decide what lights to use. Costume designers choose clothes for the actors to wear. Together they form the design team. They share the same need, which is making the show happen. Step Two is defining a successful result. The desired result is different for different kinds of designers. A fashion designer designs clothing styles. Because stores need people to keep buying, fashion designers need to design clothes that people will buy. The clothes should be different from older clothes. Step Three is to describe the situation as it is now. A landscape designer plans outdoor areas. The designer looks carefully at the piece of land. Is it flat or hilly? What kind of soil does it have? What plants grow well in that soil? How do people want to use this land? The designer uses all this information in planning. Step Four is to understand the user. The designer needs to know who will use the product. Software designers write computer programs. They think about the user sitting in front of the screen. Step Five is to make a detailed plan. Architects design buildings. They plan the size and shape of each room, and decide what materials to use. All the details are on a drawing called a blueprint. The builders will follow this blueprint. The building will be exactly like the plan. Last but not least, designers should work with other people to turn the design into the real thing. Fashion designers need people to sew the clothes. Landscape designers need workers to plant the plants. Designers are artists, scientists, and inventors. They work in the present, but they are planners for the future. 101．How many steps should the designer take to make his/her ideas happen? 102．How does the design team make the show happen on the stage in Paragraph 2? 103．Who should the designers try to understand? 104．What drawing is a new house built based on? 105．What’s a proper title for this passage? 【答案】101．Six./6. 102．By sharing the same need./They share the same need. 103．The user(s). 104．The blueprint. 105．How to Be a Designer/Designers /The Steps/Ways to Be a Designer/Designers/How Designers Design  (围绕主题，言之有理即可) 【导语】本文介绍了设计师的角色及其将创意变为现实所需遵循的一系列步骤。 101．根据“Step Five”和“Last but not least”可知，设计师要把他的想法实现有六步。故填Six./6. 102．根据“They share the same need, which is making the show happen.”可知，通过分享共同的需求，使得表演可以呈现。故填By sharing the same need./They share the same need. 103．根据“Step Four is to understand the user.

The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and other greenhouse gases, which are closely connected to the big problem of global-warming (全球变暖). Way 1:Bring your own cup to Starbucks. You’ll get a 10-cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a dustbin. The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup. Way 2 : Turn off your computer. When in standby mode (待机模式), your PC is still using energy. Turning off a monitor (显示器) for 40 hours a week may only save $5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds! Way 3: Reuse plastic bags. Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag. You’re reducing pollution. The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile. Way 4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom. Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests previously untouched by humans. If every family took the place of one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424, 000 trees would still be standing. Way 5: Plant a free.
