Passage 4 Ryrkaypiy, a village with about 700 people, is located in the northeast of Russia. Standing on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, it has to brave both the Arctic’s cold weather and wild animals like polar bears. Most of the area’s polar bears live a few miles away from Ryrkaypiy. Only a few bears come near to the village now and then. But last winter, over 50 polar bears went to Ryrkaypiy in search of food. The villagers were told to stay indoors to avoid danger. Now, polar bears come to the village more often and in larger numbers than ever. Although polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their life on the sea ice. The ice gives them a place where they can have a rest and catch fish. But as the temperature rises because of global warming, the bears have started to find their home disappearing. Polar bears normally go onto dry land in summer and return to the ice when the ocean freezes again in autumn. But over the past few years, the ocean has frozen later and later, and the ice area has become smaller and smaller. Unable to live on the ice, hungry polar bears have to look for food on land, including villages like Ryrkaypiy. In some countries, polar bears are considered as endangered animals. If the earth becomes so warm that there is no longer enough ice for the bears to live on, there will probably be no polar bears. Immediate action must be taken to help polar bears. 根据短文内容，回答问题。（每题答案不超过8个词） 1．Why did polar bears go to Ryrkaypiy last winter? 2．What can polar bears do on the sea ice? 3．When do polar bears normally go onto dry land? 4．What will probably happen if there is not enough ice? 5．What’s the purpose (目的) of the passage? 【答案】1．In search of food. 2．They can have a rest and catch fish. 3．In summer. 4．There will probably be no polar bears./ They will probably disappear. 5．To call for action to help polar bears./ To encourage people to help polar bears. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了由于全球变暖导致海冰减少，北极熊被迫前往人类村庄觅食的生存危机，并呼吁采取行动保护北极熊。 1．根据“over 50 polar bears went to Ryrkaypiy in search of food”可知，北极熊去村庄是为了寻找食物。故填In search of food. 2．根据“The ice gives them a place where they can have a rest and catch fish”可知，海冰为北极熊提供了休息和捕鱼的地方。故填They can have a rest and catch fish. 3．根据“Polar bears normally go onto dry land in summer”可知，北极熊通常在夏季登上陆地。故填In summer. 4．根据“If the earth becomes so warm that there is no longer enough ice for the bears to live on, there will probably be no polar bears”可知，如果没有足够的冰，北极熊可能会灭绝。故填There will probably be no polar bears./ They will probably disappear. 5．根据文章最后一段“Immediate action must be taken to help polar bears”以及全文内容可知，本文的目的是呼吁采取行动帮助北极熊。故填To call for action to help polar bears./ To encourage people to help polar bears.

Passage 2 The Yangtze River, about 6,300 kilometres long, is the longest river in Asia. It provides a lifeline for hundreds of millions of people. It covers an area of 1.8 million square kilometres, about a fifth of the national total. The river also provides a third of our country’s fresh water resources. Along with the Yellow River, it is considered as China’s “mother river”. However, in recent years, this “mother river” has met with some environmental problems. It was seriously polluted and the number of the fish is getting smaller. To solve these problems, the government passed the Yangtze River Protection Law. The law came into force on March 1, 2021. There are nine parts in the law, covering areas such as resource protection, anti-pollution measures, green development and legal responsibilities. More importantly, the law has introduced a fishing ban (禁令) on the Yangtze River’s natural waterways. According to the new law, both the central government and local organizations would put the river protection into their economic (经济的) and social development plans. Around 231,000 fishermen had given up their fishing rights along the Yangtze River. Chinese Vice-premier Han Zheng said that more support should be given to these people to help them find new jobs.

Passage 2 Pleasure reading is the easiest way to become a better reader in English. It is also the most important way. Some students say they don’t want to read for pleasure. They say they want to use their time to learn the rules of the language and new words. They say that pleasure reading is too easy. Many experts (专家)say pleasure reading is very important for learning English. Stephen Krashen, a famous expert on learning languages, says that pleasure reading helps you learn many important things about English. Students learn more grammar and more words when they read for pleasure. They also learn more about good writing. He also tells us that pleasure reading helps each student in a different way.

So it’s wonderful to have nice and helpful neighbors. A Workmate You’ll find it much easier to chat with someone than eating lunch alone every day. Your workmate doesn’t have to be your best friend. If you two get along well with each other, you can always start going out and having lunch with them outside of the office. A Friend from a Different Culture If everyone had a friend from a different culture, the world would be a much better place.

Passage 3 There are some things in nature that we cannot stop from happening. We cannot stop the power of nature. A flood comes when there is too much water on the land. Sometimes, it is after a big storm when too much rain falls on the land. Sometimes it is after a big storm at sea when too much sea water comes onto the land. The fast flood water can hurt us and destroy (破坏) our homes. We cannot stop a flood from coming, but we can try to stop the water from coming into our homes. We can try to stop the water by making a wall. We can use sandbags to make the wall. An earthquake comes when the land moves. The land goes up and down and in different directions. The land can crack (断裂). An earthquake can hurt us. We can get hurt by things that fall down in an earthquake. Falling things can start fires. We cannot stop an earthquake from coming, but we can try to make our homes strong so that they do not fall down in an earthquake. A tornado (龙卷风) is the fast air that goes around and around over the land. A tornado can pick up anything. It can break anything that is on the way. A hurricane (飓风) is a big storm with fast strong winds and heavy rains. It begins on the sea and can come onto the land. Its fast winds can hurt us and destroy our homes. We cannot stop a tornado or a hurricane from coming, but we can get out of its way. We cannot stop the power of nature, but we can go to places where we can be safe. 回答下列问题，每题答案不超过8个词。 1．When does a flood come? 2．Why should we try to make our homes strong? 3．How can we try to stop the water? 4．A tornado has many dangers.

It says rising temperatures cause the natural living places of the big cat to the point that snow leopards could die out. In a new report, it says that up to a third of the areas on the mountain where the snow leopards live could become uninhabitable (不宜居住的). Lots of plants and food the animals need could disappear in warmer temperatures. The WWF said, “The Himalayas area will face danger if we choose not to care about climate change...We will lose the snow leopard.” It isn’t just climate change that is making a serious threat to the future of the snow leopard. Many activities from humans are also adding to the dangers the animals face. Snow leopards are highly needed for their fur and body parts. People are killing the animals for money. The snow leopards are also being killed by farmers when they are trying to protect their animals. As the natural food of the snow leopards is decreasing, the animals are going into human areas to kill farm animals. The result is that the farmers shoot the snow leopards. The WWF reported this result on Friday, which was the first International Snow Leopard Day. 根据语篇内容，回答下列问题。(不超过8个词) 1．Where is climate change threatening the life of the snow leopard? 2．What causes the natural living places of the big cat to the point that snow leopards could die out? 3．How could a third of the areas on the mountain where the leopards live become in the new report? 4．What are people killing the animals for? 5．When did the WWF report the result? Passage 2 Leopards (豹) live in many parts of the world, from Siberia to Africa. They have a very beautiful yellow skin with large black spots. They live for about 15 years and eat small mammals such as zebras, monkeys, and antelopes (羚羊). They sleep for about 12 hours a day. Leopards are very solitary (独处的) animals. They don’t like to live with others. They spend most of their time by themselves in trees, where they wait until a small animal passes. They jump on the animal and then drag it up into the tree, where they eat it. Like many animals, leopards are disappearing because people hunt them. They kill them for their beautiful coats. The Sinai leopard, for example, from Egypt, is now probably extinct (绝种的). 根据短文内容回答下列问题。(回答不超过6个词) 1．Where can leopards be found in the world? 2．How long does a leopard usually live? 3．What do leopards eat? 4．Why do leopards stay in trees? 5．What human action harms leopards most? Passage 3 The sun bear is the smallest bear，with a body length of 48 to 60 inches. Sun bears prefer rainforests. They are believed to sleep in trees. The sun bear is not a big meat-eater. The sun bear often uses its long tongue(舌头) for eating termites(白蚁). The name sun bear comes from the pale circle on its chest (胸膛). They have short，black fur with a golden or white horseshoe shape on their chest. It is also known as “honey bear” because of its love for the sweet food. With only 600 to 1,000 left in the wild in the rainforests of South Asia, it is in danger. People are cutting down trees and using the land for farming. So the rainforests where the sun bear lives are becoming smaller and smaller. Sun bears are killed because their meat is delicious and parts of their body can be made into traditional medicine. People also like to keep young sun bears as pets and kill the mother bears. So the sun bear needs our help. 回答下列下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．What’s the sun bear? 2．Where does the sun bear sleep? 3．How does the sun bear eat? 4．Why people call it sun bear? 5．What may the next part of the passage talk about? Passage 4 Ryrkaypiy, a village with about 700 people, is located in the northeast of Russia. Standing on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, it has to brave both the Arctic’s cold weather and wild animals like polar bears. Most of the area’s polar bears live a few miles away from Ryrkaypiy. Only a few bears come near to the village now and then. But last winter, over 50 polar bears went to Ryrkaypiy in search of food. The villagers were told to stay indoors to avoid danger. Now, polar bears come to the village more often and in larger numbers than ever. Although polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their life on the sea ice. The ice gives them a place where they can have a rest and catch fish. But as the temperature rises because of global warming, the bears have started to find their home disappearing. Polar bears normally go onto dry land in summer and return to the ice when the ocean freezes again in autumn. But over the past few years, the ocean has frozen later and later, and the ice area has become smaller and smaller. Unable to live on the ice, hungry polar bears have to look for food on land, including villages like Ryrkaypiy. In some countries, polar bears are considered as endangered animals. If the earth becomes so warm that there is no longer enough ice for the bears to live on, there will probably be no polar bears. Immediate action must be taken to help polar bears. 根据短文内容，回答问题。（每题答案不超过8个词） 1．Why did polar bears go to Ryrkaypiy last winter? 2．What can polar bears do on the sea ice? 3．When do polar bears normally go onto dry land? 4．What will probably happen if there is not enough ice? 5．What’s the purpose (目的) of the passage?

Passage 2 The Yangtze River, about 6,300 kilometres long, is the longest river in Asia. It provides a lifeline for hundreds of millions of people. It covers an area of 1.8 million square kilometres, about a fifth of the national total. The river also provides a third of our country’s fresh water resources. Along with the Yellow River, it is considered as China’s “mother river”. However, in recent years, this “mother river” has met with some environmental problems. It was seriously polluted and the number of the fish is getting smaller. To solve these problems, the government passed the Yangtze River Protection Law. The law came into force on March 1, 2021. There are nine parts in the law, covering areas such as resource protection, anti-pollution measures, green development and legal responsibilities. More importantly, the law has introduced a fishing ban (禁令) on the Yangtze River’s natural waterways. According to the new law, both the central government and local organizations would put the river protection into their economic (经济的) and social development plans. Around 231,000 fishermen had given up their fishing rights along the Yangtze River. Chinese Vice-premier Han Zheng said that more support should be given to these people to help them find new jobs. He also calls for stronger efforts to help prevent activities which are not allowed by the law and encourages the public to support the ban. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过5个词。 1． What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to? 2． Why did the government pass the Yangtze River Protection Law? 3． How many parts are there in the law? 4． How would the government help the fishermen? 5． What do you think of the Yangtze River Protection Law? 话题4 学习策略 Passage 1 Students usually learn lessons in class. They stay in the classroom and listen to teachers. This is one way of learning. But is it the only way? Of course not. Another way is self-teaching. For example, when you can’t remember something while doing homework, what will you do? You can turn to your book to find the answer. How to teach yourself? First, read. Read things that interest you. Second, you need to ask yourself questions. A clever student is often good at asking questions. Third, answer the questions yourself—by studying hard, reading books, or sometimes asking others. These ways of self-teaching are useful. If you keep doing them, you’ll surely make progress in your studies. 1．Where do students often learn their lessons? 2．What can you do if you can’t remember something when doing homework? 3．What is a clever student usually good at? 4．How many ways of self-teaching are mentioned? 5．What do you think of the ways of self-teaching?

They say they want to use their time to learn the rules of the language and new words. They say that pleasure reading is too easy. Many experts (专家)say pleasure reading is very important for learning English. Stephen Krashen, a famous expert on learning languages, says that pleasure reading helps you learn many important things about English. Students learn more grammar and more words when they read for pleasure. They also learn more about good writing. He also tells us that pleasure reading helps each student in a different way. Each student needs to learn something different. Pleasure reading makes it possible for each student to learn what he or she needs. Reading for pleasure is not the same as studying. When you read for pleasure, you choose your own books, and you don’t have to remember everything. There are no tests on your pleasure reading books. Pleasure reading will help you: ※ Learn how English speakers use English. ※ Read faster in English. ※ Find examples of good writing in English. ※ Learn new words. ※ Learn about the culture of English speakers. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．What’s the most important way to become a better reader? 2．What do some students think of pleasure reading? 3．Can pleasure reading help you improve your English writing skill? 4．Who is Stephen Krashen? 5．Does pleasure reading help people read faster in English?

My group’s task was to build a model bridge using only straws, tape, and string. It was not easy! We had to think about how to make it strong enough to hold a small toy car. We discussed, designed, and tried many times. Finally, our bridge successfully held the car! We were so proud. Other groups did different things. One group planted small vegetables in the school garden. Another group cooked simple and healthy dishes in the kitchen. The last group learned basic first aid skills, like how to bandage a wound.

Passage 2 During the break time between classes, Xiao Jingsheng often went to the washroom then back to the classroom with no time for anything else. But now that is different. Starting from the autumn term in 2024, students at primary and middle schools in Beijing began to have a longer break between two classes, from 10 minutes to 15 minutes, so students could spend more time outside. To help children better enjoy activities during break time, some schools mixed break time with labor education by opening planting areas and animal breeding zones (饲养区). “We have welcomed new friends to our school—some ducks and rabbits!” said Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old boy in Beijing. “During the breaks, some can play with these cute animals, while others exercise in the playground.” As the break time is longer, making sure everyone is safe is also important. P.E. teachers in schools keep an eye on students in the playground. “Sometimes the ground can be wet in the morning, so we tell the students to do more upper body exercises to avoid (避免) running and falling down.” said one P.E. teacher. 1．How long is the break time between two classes in Beijing’s primary and middle schools now? 2．What did some schools do to help children enjoy break time? 3．Who keeps an eye on students in the playground during the breaks? 4．Why do P.E. teachers advise students to do more upper body exercises? 5．How do you think schools can further improve activities during break time to make them more enjoyable?

I’m sure everyone will want you to sing for us.” That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next, he asked another friend, Leo, to bring a cake. “You make the best cake in the world.

Max and Andy have been friends since primary school. Max is quiet and sometimes shy. Andy is noisy. Sometimes Max gets a bit angry at what Andy says, but that’s probably because Max was in a bad mood (心情), and Andy didn’t even notice. Peter and John became close friends at a summer camp.

The following four types of friends are just what you need to keep the doctors away. A Loyal Best Friend Everyone needs a friend who will support you in different situations. This kind of friend knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same. A Friendly Neighbor These days, a lot of people don’t know their own neighbors. It’s a shame, because some neighbors can be the most helpful people. If you forget to lock the front door when you are on holiday, you can call your neighbors to lock it for you. So it’s wonderful to have nice and helpful neighbors. A Workmate You’ll find it much easier to chat with someone than eating lunch alone every day. Your workmate doesn’t have to be your best friend. If you two get along well with each other, you can always start going out and having lunch with them outside of the office. A Friend from a Different Culture If everyone had a friend from a different culture, the world would be a much better place. Remember not to make friends with someone just because they’re from a different culture. Instead, keep your mind open, and if you meet someone from other places, try to learn about their customs and traditions. If you have such kinds of friends, you will surely live longer and more happily. 回答下面五个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．How many types of friends do we need in our life according to the passage? 2．What kind of friend is it when he/she knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same? 3．Who can be the most helpful people mentioned in the passage? 4．What should we do if we meet someone from a different culture? 5．What does the survey show us?
