Students may push each other or run down the steps, which sometimes leads to accidents like falls or stampedes (踩踏). To keep students safe, three primary school students invented “voice-controlled smart stairs”. These smart stairs look just like ordinary stairs, but they have hidden sensors. There are 8 flat film pressure sensors on the right side of each step, and a long linear sensor along the middle line. When students step on these sensors in the wrong way, the stairs automatically play voice prompts. For example, if someone walks on the middle line or crosses the steps, it says “Please keep to the right” or “Do not cross the steps”. If many people stand on one step (showing a crowd), it warns “Do not crowd, please move slowly”. The invention was not easy to make. The biggest challenge was programming the sensors to work correctly. With their teacher’s help, the students learned basic coding and fixed the problems. Now the smart stairs work well in their school’s model. The students hope that one day real stairs in schools will use this design. The voice-controlled smart stairs are helpful for two reasons. First, they remind students to follow rules and stay safe. Second, they teach kids about using technology to solve real-life problems. It’s a great example of how young inventors can make their surroundings safer. 1．Why did the students invent the voice-controlled smart stairs? A．To make stairs look more beautiful. B．To help students find classrooms easily. C．To keep students safe from accidents. D．To practice their coding skills. 2．If there are 15 steps in total, how many flat film pressure sensors are there on the right side of all the steps? A．8 B．9 C．100 D．120 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．The smart stairs are already used in all schools. B．The students got help from their teacher with coding. C．The smart stairs have no sensors on the left side. D．The stairs can talk to students like a teacher. 4．What is the main idea of the text? A．How to avoid stampedes in schools. B．A safe invention for school stairs. C．How to learn programming easily. D．Different types of school stairs. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了三名小学生为了保障学生在学校楼梯上的安全，发明了“声控智能楼梯”，这种楼梯通过隐藏的传感器和语音提示来提醒学生遵守规则，避免事故发生，文章还介绍了该发明的制作过程及其优点。 1．细节理解题。根据“In schools, crowded stairs can be dangerous.

You may say that it is Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls is really very beautiful, but when we talk about the height, Angel Falls is the highest in the world. It is located deep in the jungle (丛林) of Venezuela (委内瑞拉). Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It’s very hard to get there. If you went by car, you would have to travel for weeks through the jungle. If you went by plane from Caracas, a city on the southern coast, it would take about four hours. One of the most interesting facts about Angel Falls is how it got its name. It was named after an American pilot. His name was Jimmy Angel. In 1937, his plane crashed near the waterfall. Though local people already knew about it, his story made it famous, and it was later named after him. Angel Falls drops nearly a kilometre from a table-top mountain. The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds. The height of the waterfall is so great that by the time the water reaches the ground, it has already turned into fog (雾). If you have a chance to visit it, you’ll never forget it! 1．Few people have ever seen Angel Falls because ________. A．it is not easy to get there B．the tickets are very expensive C．there is no hotel or restaurant D．visitors can only get there on foot 2．If you want to get to Angel Falls in a short time, you can choose to take ________ according to the text.

His name was Jimmy Angel.”可知，安赫尔瀑布是以美国飞行员的名字命名的。故选D。 4．最佳标题题。根据“Do you know what the world’s highest waterfall is?”以及安赫尔瀑布的位置、特点、名字由来等展开介绍可知，本文的核心内容是“世界上最高的瀑布”。故选D。 Tea Garden Draws TouristsThe mountain village of Wugongling, in China’s Anhui Province, has become a tourist attraction because of its stepped tea garden. Starting in the 1960s, the villagers spent 13 years building steps on the mountainside so they could grow tea plants there. The village was once poor but now interests lots of tourists. The garden has a viewing platform (观赏台), walkways and a visitor center. A Worker Wanted for Antarctic Post OfficeThe planet’s most faraway post office, Port Lockroy in Antarctica, need people to work there for five months. Tasks would include running the gift shop and counting penguins living there. There is no running water, and it is very cold all the time. The wind is often strong, and in winter, the sun doesn’t come out for many weeks. Though life there is not easy, Laurenm Elliot, who worked there in 2019, described it as “the most magical place in the world”. He said he was happy to work there. ________ A wildflower that was thought to be extinct (灭绝的) has been found, 40 years after it was last seen. It was thought to have died out after forests were cut down and made into farmland.

The wind is often strong...”可知，南极邮局的生活条件很艰苦。选项B与之匹配。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“A wildflower that was thought to be extinct has been found...scientists in the Centinela area in Ecuador found the flower again”可知，第三则新闻核心是“被认为灭绝的野花在厄瓜多尔被发现”。选项C与之匹配。故选C。 5．主旨理解题。根据三篇新闻（茶园与人类生活、南极邮局与自然环境、野花保护与人类行动）可知，内容聚焦人与自然界的关联。选项D与之匹配。故选D。 三、U6单元话题热点预测 Many schools hold sports games in autumn. It turns out that autumn might be the best season to work out! During this time, the weather is great. After a hot summer, the autumn air is cool and fresh, like a natural air conditioner (空调)! In such weather, you can run, hike, cycle or walk outside without sweating (出汗) much. No more worrying about colds—autumn makes outdoor exercise safer, even when playing for a long time. Cool autumn days and daily exercise can help you sleep better, keeping you healthy. Also, autumn is very pretty! Colorful leaves and nice views can make you happier. When you exercise in nature, fresh air and beautiful views clear your mind too. And don’t forget food! Autumn is harvest time—you can easily buy apples, pumpkins, sweet potatoes or pears. They’re full of vitamins, delicious but not expensive. Eating these foods and working out is great! Autumn exercise can also get you ready for winter. It helps you have happy chemicals (化学物质) to fight sad feelings from short days. It also makes your body stronger, so you might not catch a cold in winter. 1．What does the underlined phrase “work out” mean in the first paragraph? A．study at school B．do exercise C．solve a problem D．go on a holiday 2．What can we know about autumn food from the text? A．It’s expensive but delicious. B．It’s only good for children. C．It helps people sleep better. D．It’s full of vitamins and cheap. 3．What does the word “It” refer to in the last paragraph? A．Good sleep. B．Your body. C．Autumn exercise. D．Cool autumn days. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了秋天是进行锻炼的最佳季节，阐述了秋天适合锻炼的原因，包括天气适宜、能改善睡眠、食物丰富有营养、能为冬天做准备等。 1．词句猜测题。根据后文“In such weather, you can run, hike, cycle or walk outside without sweating (出汗) much.”可知，在这样的天气里，你可以在外面跑步、徒步旅行、骑自行车或散步，这些都属于锻炼活动，由此可推测“work out”意思是“锻炼”。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Autumn is harvest time—you can easily buy apples, pumpkins, sweet potatoes or pears. They’re full of vitamins, delicious but not expensive.”可知，秋天的食物富含维生素，美味且不贵。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“Autumn exercise can also get you ready for winter. It helps you have happy chemicals (化学物质) to fight sad feelings from short days.”可知，秋天的锻炼能让你为冬天做好准备，它能帮助你产生快乐的化学物质来对抗因白天短而产生的悲伤情绪，所以“It”指代的是“Autumn exercise”。故选C。 Many people take running as a way to keep fit. They like to run in hot weather and enjoy the feeling of being wet through with sweat (汗) while running. Cold weather during winter months, with low temperatures and freezing cold winds, may keep many people from running in the open air. However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance. Many runners might find it easier to run in winter than in hot weather. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather. In addition, lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate is lower. John Brewer is a professor of applied sports science at St. Mary’s University in London. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room where summer and winter weather conditions are recreated. The people participating in the study were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions and their biological measurements were recorded and studied. From the study, every movement runners make produces heat. The heat can be really damaging unless the body can lose it. One way in which people lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through sweat. The body also loses it by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin and it puts more stress on the heart, especially in hot conditions because it’s much harder to lose heat when the outside environment is warm. As the result shows running in hot temperatures results in 6 percent higher heart rates. When running in cold conditions, the body does not have to work hard to move blood to the skin surface. Therefore, it requires less energy. The most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keep as dry as possible when exercising in low temperatures. Wear warm and light clothing to keep sweat away from your skin. So don’t let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running. 1．What may keep many people from running in the open air? A．Sunburn and wrinkles B．Hot weather and much sweat all over the body. C．Air pollution and climate change. D．Low temperatures and freezing cold winds. 2．What can we learn from the passage? A．Running in cold weather doesn’t need a lot of energy. B．Running in cold weather needs heavy clothing to keep warm. C．Running in hot weather causes hearts to beat more slowly than in cold. D．Running in hot weather produces more heat than other movements. 3．What is the main purpose in writing this passage? A．To study why the drop in temperature is good to run. B．To compare benefits of running in winter and summer. C．To encourage people to keep running outdoors in winter. D．To show us how to keep healthy while running in winter. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 【导语】本文通过科学研究论证了冬季跑步的益处，并鼓励人们在低温环境下坚持户外跑步。 1．细节理解题。根据“Cold weather during winter months, with low temperatures and freezing cold winds, may keep many people from running in the open air.”可知，低温和寒风使许多人不愿在户外跑步。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“When running in cold conditions, the body does not have to work hard to move blood to the skin surface. Therefore, it requires less energy.”可知，在寒冷天气跑步不需要太多能量。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。根据“So don’t let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running”以及全文内容可知，文章主要目的是鼓励人们在冬季继续在户外跑步。故选C。 四、U5单元话题热点预测 One day, while his mother was out hunting, the gray cub (幼兽) found the way out of the cave. At first, he was afraid. But the need to know and understand was greater than his fear, so he went out. He soon found that the floor of the world was not flat like the floor of his home. And he fell, in fear. But he soon sat up, and started walking and looking around him. He met a squirrel (松鼠), and a woodpecker (啄木鸟), both of which moved away from him. So he learned that the world had things that stayed in one place, and other things that moved. He had beginner’s luck when he fell into a ptarmigan’s (雷鸟) nest. In the nest were seven chicks. He knew this was meat, as his mother gave him. So he ate them all. As he walked away from the nest, the mother ptarmigan attacked him. He fought back, biting her wing with his small teeth. He was excited and happy. He was fighting for meat, fighting to kill. It was what wolves did. Then he left the ptarmigan free and rested. As he watched her, something rushed down from above him, picked up the ptarmigan and flew back up into the sky. It was an eagle. Later something small jumped in front of him, so he put his paw on it. It was a young weasel (黄鼠狼). It made strange noises, and soon the mother weasel appeared. She jumped at his neck and bit him with sharp teeth. She wasn’t big, but he didn’t know how dangerous weasels were. Suddenly she jumped, and bit into his throat. He tried to fight, but the weasel held on. The cub was sure to die, but luckily his mother, the she-wolf, heard his calls and came to save him. (Adapted from White Fang) 1．The following sentences would best be put at the end of ________. He was learning. Live things were meat, but if they were big enough, live things could also hurt. It was better to eat small live things. A．Paragraph 3 B．Paragraph 4 C．Paragraph 5 D．Paragraph 6 2．Which is the correct order of what happened to the gray cub? a. He fell down and felt quite afraid.    b. He met a squirrel and a woodpecker. c. He was bitten in the throat and was dying.   d. He saw something pick up the ptarmigan. e. He had a fight with the mother ptarmigan. A．a-b-e-d-c B．b-a-e-d-c C．a-b-d-e-c D．b-c-a-d-e 3．What is the best title for the story? A．The Law of Meat B．The Gray Cub in Danger C．The Gray Cub’s First Adventure D．Mother’s Fights for Children 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一只灰色幼狼第一次走出洞穴探索外部世界，经历了跌倒、遇见小动物、捕食、目睹捕猎以及遭遇危险最终获救的冒险故事。 1．推理判断题。根据“He fought back...It was what wolves did.”以及“Later something small jumped in front of him, so he put his paw on it.”可知，所给句子“He was learning...It was better to eat small live things.”是对前文雷鸟事件的经验总结（大的会伤人，小的更好吃），同时也为第5段他主动去抓“小”黄鼠狼埋下了伏笔，起到了承上启下的作用，应放在第4段末尾。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“And he fell, in fear.”可知，“他摔倒了并感到害怕”发生在第1段；根据“He met a squirrel...and a woodpecker”可知，他遇见了松鼠和啄木鸟发生在第2段；根据“He fought back, biting her wing...It was what wolves did.”可知，“他和母雷鸟打了一架”发生在第3段；根据“something rushed down...picked up the ptarmigan”可知，“他看见有东西抓走了雷鸟”发生在第4段；根据“Suddenly she jumped, and bit into his throat.”可知，“他被咬住喉咙，快要死了”发生在第6段。因此，正确的时间顺序为a-b-e-d-c。故选A。 3．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章按时间顺序叙述了灰色幼兽趁母亲外出时独自溜出洞穴，第一次接触外部世界的一系列经历，包括新奇的发现、捕食的快感以及面临死亡的危险。选项C“灰色幼兽的第一次冒险”最适合做文章的标题。故选C。 Long-Distance Travellers Birds are amazing animals, and their most amazing skill is their sense of direction. Some migrate long distances. They know exactly where to fly, without a compass! Migrating birds often fly thousands of kilometres. They find their way back to the same place year after year. Even young birds that have not migrated before seem to know which way to go. In Europe, you may see big groups of swallows sitting on telephone wires. As the weather gets colder in autumn, they get ready to fly away to warmer countries. These birds fly south to Africa for the winter. They will return north to Europe to breed next summer. Birds have many ways to prepare for their migration journey. The little sedge warbler (水蒲苇莺) doubles its weight by eating lots of insects just before it leaves Europe. It flies 9,000 kilometres. It travels without stopping for four days to spend winter in South Africa. Bar-headed geese (斑头雁) breed in Tibet (西藏). They then fly over the Himalayas (喜马拉雅山) to India. They have to fly at a height of over 6,000 metres to get over the huge mountains. Other birds, such as cranes, also fly high over mountains. 1．According to the text, which is birds’ most amazing skill? A．Their ability to catch food. B．Their sense of direction. C．Their sense of smell. D．Their flying ability. 2．In Europe, you may see big groups of ______ sitting on telephone wires. A．sedge warblers B．cranes C．swallows D．bar-headed geese 3．What do sedge warblers do before they travel to South Africa? A．Eat a lot of food. B．Hide a lot of food in some places. C．Train young birds. D．Practise flying. 4．Which is the right order according to the text? ①Birds return north to the same place. ②Birds get ready for their journey. ③Birds fly to warmer countries.     ④The weather gets colder. A．④③②① B．③④②① C．④②③① D．③④①② 5．What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “compass” in Paragraph 1? A．望远镜 B．太阳镜 C．指南针 D．匕首 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了鸟类令人惊叹的迁徙能力。 1．细节理解题。根据“Birds are amazing animals, and their most amazing skill is their sense of direction.”可知，鸟类最惊人的技能是它们的方向感。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“In Europe, you may see big groups of swallows sitting on telephone wires.”可知，在欧洲，你可能会看到一大群燕子坐在电话线上。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“The little sedge warbler (水蒲苇莺) doubles its weight by eating lots of insects just before it leaves Europe. It flies 9,000 kilometres. It travels without stopping for four days to spend winter in South Africa.”可知，水蒲苇莺在离开欧洲前往南非之前，会吃很多昆虫来使体重翻倍。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“As the weather gets colder in autumn, they get ready to fly away to warmer countries. These birds fly south to Africa for the winter. They will return north to Europe to breed next summer.”可知，随着秋天天气变冷，鸟儿们准备飞往温暖的国度，这些鸟飞往南非过冬，它们将在明年夏天返回北方繁殖，所以正确的顺序是④②③①。故选C。 5．词句猜测题。根据“Some migrate long distances. They know exactly where to fly, without a compass!”可知，一些鸟类迁徙很长的距离，它们确切地知道飞往哪里，没有指南针，所以“compass”的意思是“指南针”。故选C。 五、Units 1-4单元话题热点预测 A Surprise Present for My Sister My sister Sharon is crazy about her bag. She takes it everywhere with her. She takes it with her when she goes to school, when she goes shopping with her friends, and even when she goes to the dentist!

Here are three good learning habits. They can help you study effectively (有效地) and save you lots of time. First, make a study plan. Decide when you will do your homework, review (复习) what you learnt and get ready for new lessons. For example, you can do your maths homework right away after school, then spend some time going over the English words you learnt today. A good study plan can help you use your time wisely and keep your study organised. Second, take notes in class. For example, when the teacher is talking, write down the important things. Use pens in different colours to mark the key points. This way, you can quickly find what you need later. Third, review regularly. Don’t wait until the last minute to start studying. Review what you have learnt every few days. Spend just 15 minutes each time reviewing your notes and textbooks. Regular review helps you remember better. So start developing these learning habits from now on, and you’ll find learning easier and more interesting! 1．What can the good learning habits help you do? A．Get the best grades.

Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”. The first kind of friend is an acquaintance (点头之交), and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friend does something bad, you don’t miss them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. The second kind of friend could also be called “social partners”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends; you know a little of what they like or dislike, a little about their family, such as your names, you usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears (恐惧), and they don’t open up to you how they really feel. The last kind of friend, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you’re wrong. They will care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you. We all have our pest, guest and best friends. We should value all friendships and remember all best friends start out as just acquaintances. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving examples. B．By telling stories. C．By asking questions. D．By using pictures. 2．If Jeff is your acquaintance and does something bad, what kind of friends are you? A．Pest friends. B．Guest friends. C．Best friends. D．True friends. 3．What can we learn about “guest friends” from the passage? A．They are as close as family members to you. B．They know nothing about your likes or dislikes.

C．tell us to value all friendships. D．encourage us to make more friends. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了三种不同类型的朋友：点头之交、社交伙伴和挚友，并强调了珍视所有友谊的重要性。 1．篇章结构题。根据“Do you have true friends? Do you want to know better between you and your friends? ”可知，文章开头通过两个问题引入话题，因此是以提问的方式开篇。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“The first kind of friend is an acquaintance ( 点头之交)”和“When this kind of friend does something bad, you don’t miss them.”可知，“pest friends”是点头之交，当他们做错事时，你不会想念他们，这正是acquaintance的特点。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“… but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears (恐惧)”可知，与“guest friends”不会谈论深层话题，如愿望或恐惧。故选C。 4．篇章结构题。①开头引入话题（提问）；②③④分别介绍三种朋友（pest friends, guest friends, best friends）；⑤结尾总结，强调珍惜所有友谊。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。根据“We should value all friendships and remember all best friends start out as just acquaintances.”可知，作者的写作目的是提醒我们珍惜所有友谊。故选C。 Do you have true friends? Do you want to know more about you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends (泛泛之交)”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”. The first kind of friend is only acquaintances (熟人), and you usually just know their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school, at work, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friend does something bad, you don’t tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. The second kind of friend could also be called “social partners”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories. You usually have a few things in common, but they don’t tell you how they really feel.

Students may push each other or run down the steps, which sometimes leads to accidents like falls or stampedes (踩踏). To keep students safe, three primary school students invented “voice-controlled smart stairs”. These smart stairs look just like ordinary stairs, but they have hidden sensors. There are 8 flat film pressure sensors on the right side of each step, and a long linear sensor along the middle line. When students step on these sensors in the wrong way, the stairs automatically play voice prompts. For example, if someone walks on the middle line or crosses the steps, it says “Please keep to the right” or “Do not cross the steps”. If many people stand on one step (showing a crowd), it warns “Do not crowd, please move slowly”. The invention was not easy to make. The biggest challenge was programming the sensors to work correctly. With their teacher’s help, the students learned basic coding and fixed the problems. Now the smart stairs work well in their school’s model. The students hope that one day real stairs in schools will use this design. The voice-controlled smart stairs are helpful for two reasons. First, they remind students to follow rules and stay safe. Second, they teach kids about using technology to solve real-life problems. It’s a great example of how young inventors can make their surroundings safer. 1．Why did the students invent the voice-controlled smart stairs? A．To make stairs look more beautiful. B．To help students find classrooms easily. C．To keep students safe from accidents. D．To practice their coding skills. 2．If there are 15 steps in total, how many flat film pressure sensors are there on the right side of all the steps? A．8 B．9 C．100 D．120 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．The smart stairs are already used in all schools. B．The students got help from their teacher with coding. C．The smart stairs have no sensors on the left side. D．The stairs can talk to students like a teacher. 4．What is the main idea of the text? A．How to avoid stampedes in schools. B．A safe invention for school stairs. C．How to learn programming easily. D．Different types of school stairs. BEAT THE HEAT:Extreme Heat Heat-related deaths can be prevented.

Niagara Falls is really very beautiful, but when we talk about the height, Angel Falls is the highest in the world. It is located deep in the jungle (丛林) of Venezuela (委内瑞拉). Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It’s very hard to get there. If you went by car, you would have to travel for weeks through the jungle. If you went by plane from Caracas, a city on the southern coast, it would take about four hours. One of the most interesting facts about Angel Falls is how it got its name. It was named after an American pilot. His name was Jimmy Angel. In 1937, his plane crashed near the waterfall. Though local people already knew about it, his story made it famous, and it was later named after him. Angel Falls drops nearly a kilometre from a table-top mountain. The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds. The height of the waterfall is so great that by the time the water reaches the ground, it has already turned into fog (雾). If you have a chance to visit it, you’ll never forget it! 1．Few people have ever seen Angel Falls because ________. A．it is not easy to get there B．the tickets are very expensive C．there is no hotel or restaurant D．visitors can only get there on foot 2．If you want to get to Angel Falls in a short time, you can choose to take ________ according to the text.

A．Where We Should Go B．Jimmy Angel C．Niagara Falls D．The World’s Highest Waterfall Tea Garden Draws TouristsThe mountain village of Wugongling, in China’s Anhui Province, has become a tourist attraction because of its stepped tea garden. Starting in the 1960s, the villagers spent 13 years building steps on the mountainside so they could grow tea plants there. The village was once poor but now interests lots of tourists. The garden has a viewing platform (观赏台), walkways and a visitor center. A Worker Wanted for Antarctic Post OfficeThe planet’s most faraway post office, Port Lockroy in Antarctica, need people to work there for five months. Tasks would include running the gift shop and counting penguins living there. There is no running water, and it is very cold all the time. The wind is often strong, and in winter, the sun doesn’t come out for many weeks. Though life there is not easy, Laurenm Elliot, who worked there in 2019, described it as “the most magical place in the world”. He said he was happy to work there. ________ A wildflower that was thought to be extinct (灭绝的) has been found, 40 years after it was last seen.

After a hot summer, the autumn air is cool and fresh, like a natural air conditioner (空调)! In such weather, you can run, hike, cycle or walk outside without sweating (出汗) much. No more worrying about colds—autumn makes outdoor exercise safer, even when playing for a long time. Cool autumn days and daily exercise can help you sleep better, keeping you healthy. Also, autumn is very pretty! Colorful leaves and nice views can make you happier. When you exercise in nature, fresh air and beautiful views clear your mind too. And don’t forget food! Autumn is harvest time—you can easily buy apples, pumpkins, sweet potatoes or pears. They’re full of vitamins, delicious but not expensive. Eating these foods and working out is great! Autumn exercise can also get you ready for winter. It helps you have happy chemicals (化学物质) to fight sad feelings from short days. It also makes your body stronger, so you might not catch a cold in winter. 1．What does the underlined phrase “work out” mean in the first paragraph? A．study at school B．do exercise C．solve a problem D．go on a holiday 2．What can we know about autumn food from the text? A．It’s expensive but delicious. B．It’s only good for children. C．It helps people sleep better. D．It’s full of vitamins and cheap. 3．What does the word “It” refer to in the last paragraph? A．Good sleep. B．Your body. C．Autumn exercise. D．Cool autumn days. Many people take running as a way to keep fit. They like to run in hot weather and enjoy the feeling of being wet through with sweat (汗) while running. Cold weather during winter months, with low temperatures and freezing cold winds, may keep many people from running in the open air. However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance. Many runners might find it easier to run in winter than in hot weather. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather. In addition, lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate is lower. John Brewer is a professor of applied sports science at St. Mary’s University in London. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room where summer and winter weather conditions are recreated. The people participating in the study were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions and their biological measurements were recorded and studied. From the study, every movement runners make produces heat. The heat can be really damaging unless the body can lose it. One way in which people lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through sweat. The body also loses it by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin and it puts more stress on the heart, especially in hot conditions because it’s much harder to lose heat when the outside environment is warm. As the result shows running in hot temperatures results in 6 percent higher heart rates. When running in cold conditions, the body does not have to work hard to move blood to the skin surface. Therefore, it requires less energy. The most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keep as dry as possible when exercising in low temperatures. Wear warm and light clothing to keep sweat away from your skin. So don’t let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running. 1．What may keep many people from running in the open air? A．Sunburn and wrinkles B．Hot weather and much sweat all over the body. C．Air pollution and climate change. D．Low temperatures and freezing cold winds. 2．What can we learn from the passage? A．Running in cold weather doesn’t need a lot of energy. B．Running in cold weather needs heavy clothing to keep warm. C．Running in hot weather causes hearts to beat more slowly than in cold. D．Running in hot weather produces more heat than other movements. 3．What is the main purpose in writing this passage? A．To study why the drop in temperature is good to run. B．To compare benefits of running in winter and summer. C．To encourage people to keep running outdoors in winter. D．To show us how to keep healthy while running in winter. 四、U5单元话题热点预测 One day, while his mother was out hunting, the gray cub (幼兽) found the way out of the cave. At first, he was afraid. But the need to know and understand was greater than his fear, so he went out. He soon found that the floor of the world was not flat like the floor of his home. And he fell, in fear. But he soon sat up, and started walking and looking around him. He met a squirrel (松鼠), and a woodpecker (啄木鸟), both of which moved away from him. So he learned that the world had things that stayed in one place, and other things that moved. He had beginner’s luck when he fell into a ptarmigan’s (雷鸟) nest. In the nest were seven chicks. He knew this was meat, as his mother gave him. So he ate them all. As he walked away from the nest, the mother ptarmigan attacked him. He fought back, biting her wing with his small teeth. He was excited and happy. He was fighting for meat, fighting to kill. It was what wolves did. Then he left the ptarmigan free and rested. As he watched her, something rushed down from above him, picked up the ptarmigan and flew back up into the sky. It was an eagle. Later something small jumped in front of him, so he put his paw on it. It was a young weasel (黄鼠狼). It made strange noises, and soon the mother weasel appeared. She jumped at his neck and bit him with sharp teeth. She wasn’t big, but he didn’t know how dangerous weasels were. Suddenly she jumped, and bit into his throat. He tried to fight, but the weasel held on. The cub was sure to die, but luckily his mother, the she-wolf, heard his calls and came to save him. (Adapted from White Fang) 1．The following sentences would best be put at the end of ________. He was learning. Live things were meat, but if they were big enough, live things could also hurt. It was better to eat small live things. A．Paragraph 3 B．Paragraph 4 C．Paragraph 5 D．Paragraph 6 2．Which is the correct order of what happened to the gray cub? a. He fell down and felt quite afraid.    b.

A．The Law of Meat B．The Gray Cub in Danger C．The Gray Cub’s First Adventure D．Mother’s Fights for Children Long-Distance Travellers Birds are amazing animals, and their most amazing skill is their sense of direction. Some migrate long distances. They know exactly where to fly, without a compass! Migrating birds often fly thousands of kilometres. They find their way back to the same place year after year. Even young birds that have not migrated before seem to know which way to go. In Europe, you may see big groups of swallows sitting on telephone wires. As the weather gets colder in autumn, they get ready to fly away to warmer countries. These birds fly south to Africa for the winter. They will return north to Europe to breed next summer. Birds have many ways to prepare for their migration journey. The little sedge warbler (水蒲苇莺) doubles its weight by eating lots of insects just before it leaves Europe. It flies 9,000 kilometres.

First, make a study plan. Decide when you will do your homework, review (复习) what you learnt and get ready for new lessons. For example, you can do your maths homework right away after school, then spend some time going over the English words you learnt today. A good study plan can help you use your time wisely and keep your study organised. Second, take notes in class. For example, when the teacher is talking, write down the important things. Use pens in different colours to mark the key points. This way, you can quickly find what you need later. Third, review regularly. Don’t wait until the last minute to start studying. Review what you have learnt every few days. Spend just 15 minutes each time reviewing your notes and textbooks. Regular review helps you remember better.

The Bottle School Project is an amazing environmental initiative. These schools are built using plastic bottles filled with packed sand. This construction method is not only eco-friendly but also very practical. The bottle walls provide excellent insulation, keeping classrooms cool in hot weather and warm in cool weather. This innovative idea helps solve two problems at once. First, it reduces plastic waste by reusing bottles that would otherwise pollute the environment. Second, it provides affordable school buildings for communities that need them. The bottles are free, and local people can help with the construction, making it a community project. Students who attend these schools learn about environmental protection through their own school building. They see firsthand how recycling can create something useful and beautiful. This practical lesson in sustainability is just as important as their academic lessons. 1．What are the bottle schools built with? A．Glass bottles. B．Plastic bottles with sand. C．Metal bottles.

Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”. The first kind of friend is an acquaintance (点头之交), and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friend does something bad, you don’t miss them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. The second kind of friend could also be called “social partners”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends; you know a little of what they like or dislike, a little about their family, such as your names, you usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears (恐惧), and they don’t open up to you how they really feel. The last kind of friend, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you’re wrong. They will care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you. We all have our pest, guest and best friends. We should value all friendships and remember all best friends start out as just acquaintances. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving examples. B．By telling stories.
