Last month, I got a pen pal from Canada named Emma. We send emails to each other every week. Emma is 13, just like me. She told me about her school life in Toronto (多伦多). Her classes start at 8:30 a.m., while ours begin at 7:50. She has snowy days in winter, but we have rainy days in Shenzhen! We also share hobbies. Emma loves painting and sent me a drawing of maple leaves. I sent her a picture of Shenzhen Bay Park. We even made a project together: a poster comparing (比较) Canadian and Chinese festivals. Our teacher displayed it in the school hallway! Sometimes we help each other with homework. Emma explained English idioms (俚语) to me, and I taught her simple Chinese phrases. Last Friday, we had our first video call. We laughed while trying to pronounce each other’s names correctly. Having an international friend makes the world feel smaller and more interesting!

When Joe was born, he had a problem with his heart and doctors had to perform an operation (进行手术) on him. When he was 3, Joe had his second operation. This operation didn’t go well and he even couldn’t move the left side of his body. The doctors at the hospital didn’t think he could get better. Then the family moved to Florida. Joe liked being in the water and his mother thought swimming could help him. At first, they went to swimming pools in hotels, but some hotel guests didn’t like them being there. Then one day she went with Joe to a place called Dolphin Plus, where people swam with dolphins. Joe met Fonzie, a 3-meter-long, 275-kilogram dolphin there and the story really began. Soon, Joe was eager to see Fonzie every day. He loved playing with him and feeding (喂食) him. Every time Joe arrived, Fonzie came to see him right away. Joe’s mother told him always to feed Fonzie using his left hand, so Joe used his left side more and more. Slowly, he got better and better. Joe’s mother saw that Fonzie helped him a lot, and she knew it was a good idea for other people, too. So, she and her family worked to open a place called Island Dolphin Care. It’s next to Dolphin Plus and many people with health problems come to spend time with the dolphins. Joe is now over 30 years old and very well. However, Fonzie died in 2004 when Joe was 17.

What’s your name?” if you didn’t hear the name clearly, try, “Sorry, can you repeat that for me, please?” Then give your name and say, “Nice to meet you!” it’s really as simple as that! It’s important to get people’s names right. If you get them wrong, they might feel sad! Second, ask questions! Ask about school, sport, music, and more! As you listen, think of more questions to ask. So when your classmate stops talking, you can jump in and ask another question! But remember, you have to be a good listener before you can ask good questions. Last, don’t forget to share!

At the beginning of the second year of middle school, his school offered rock climbing lessons in order to encourage students to exercise. He was so happy that he took the lessons at once. In the first lesson, the coach said, “Rock climbing needs strength, speed, courage and persistence (坚持). All these are important.” But to Bob, 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 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.

During this solar term, we begin to find small changes in the environment. In the south of China, we can find the rising water levels because of more rainy days. Around the Jiangnan area, we can also see the flowering of plants. In the north of China, Xiaoman is an important time for the spring-planted crops. The crops are growing and almost ready for harvest. So, this solar term is important to farmers. In ancient times, people held different activities during Xiaoman. On the day of Xiaoman, farmers gathered around and rode on the waterwheels. Waterwheels were one of the most important tools for them to bring water to the fields. Also, farmers put water into their fields in the hope of a good harvest. What’s more, people believed that Xiaoman was the birthday of the Silkworm God. They would take good care of silkworms and cocoons to show their respect for the God. Eating wild vegetables is also a tradition during Xiaoman. Bitter greens are the earliest wild vegetables. Chinese people like them. They are not tasty and a little bitter. So, it is not usual for people to plant them in their own fields. But they can help our bodies in many ways. Xiaoman is a time with many traditions. We can enjoy both something good in nature and something simple in life. There are also great meanings behind Xiaoman. Just as the name suggests, things are almost full but not quite there yet. The best life comes from finding happiness with little things, just like a moon not fully round. Besides, it also tells us to pay attention to environmental changes and follow the rules of nature. 1．What change usually happens during Xiaoman? A．It rains more often. B．It is getting colder.

B．Best life lies in having something rich. C．People should respect nature. D．Things need to be full and enough. Passage 2 Here comes autumn! It is the third season of the year.

The weather is often fine. It’s a great season for kids to play outside. What do children do in autumn in different countries? In China, students often have an autumn picnic. Usually, they go to an amusement park (游乐园) or out into nature. For example, kids in Shenyang like to climb mountains. Many children also like to play outdoor games with their classmates, like soccer. Japanese students often go hiking with their parents or classmates when the leaves turn red or yellow. It is a perfect way to get exercise. Mountain climbing on clear days is also a good choice. For most children in the US, riding a bike is a good autumn activity. Take a mountain bike ride and find new roads. Playing in leaf piles (堆) is popular too. Kids jump onto a leaf pile and see the colourful leaves fly all around. It brings kids a lot of fun.

Gathering Crops The Start of Autumn is an important solar term for farmers. It is the time to gather crops. There is a saying, “If it rains on the day of the Start of Autumn, a good harvest (收获) is coming.” Eating Dumplings In Shandong Province, people eat dumplings on the Start of Autumn, and they call it “Eating the Autumn”.

In general, northern China has a cold and dry winter, while southern China is known for its cold, humid weather. In northern China, the coldest month often comes in January. Temperatures (温度) can drop to as low as -30℃, while the southernmost cities enjoy temperatures of around 20℃—even in January. During the winter months, the northern provinces experience cold weather for a long time. The ground freezes. Some places are covered in snow. People often build snowmen and play in the snow to enjoy the happiness of winter. But in southern China, snow seldom falls, and the rivers do not freeze. Heating is important for northern Chinese. People often wear hats, scarfs, down jackets (羽绒服) and gloves outside. But when they return home, they only need a T-shirt.

Most of us don’t want to pollute it, but we are polluting it by not using the things on the Earth correctly. Here are some easy things you can do to protect the environment and the Earth. Choose ideas of the following or think of a few of your own. · Plant flowers, grass or trees. The plants can make the environment around you become beautiful. Also, more trees and plants can make the air clean. · Whenever you visit a park or beach, take away what you bring there — keep rubbish in a bag until you can throw it into a dustbin (垃圾箱). · Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth. You can save some water by not letting it run all the time. Also, use a glass cup instead of a paper cup because this can protect forests. · Stop putting dirty water into the rivers or lakes. In this way, you can protect plants and fish in the rivers or lakes. · Ask all your friends to do the same things to help protect the Earth. You don’t have to wait for Earth Day to do these things. Make every day Earth Day. If everyone does something good to protect the Earth, it will become much more beautiful. 1．How do we pollute the Earth according to the passage?

Passage 2 Are you ready to take action to protect the Earth? You may think it impossible, but you can begin by taking some small but important steps. Many children and their classes in the USA are taking action. Mrs. Perez’s class in the 7th grade decides to do something to protect a river. Here’s how they start.   Miguel Salazar lives in Meridian, Texas. Every day he walks home from school and passes a small river. The river is very dirty. But it was not always like this. Miguel’s grandfather remembers there were flowers and plants along it before and many people fished there. So Miguel’s class decides to clean up the river. They make the following plan. Class Project: Clean Up ●Write a letter to the mayor (市长) asking her to let us have a Clean-Up Day at the small river. Ask her for garbage cans (罐子) to keep rubbish. ● Make posters asking others not to throw waste into the river ● Ask parents to come along and help on the Clean-Up Day. ● Decide a day for the big Clean Up!    If one person can make a difference, think how much more we can do together to protect the Earth. 1．How does the writer start the passage?

One thing you could try is cutting down on food waste. The amount of food you waste may not seem like a lot, but when you add up all the food that families waste around the world, it’s a big problem. About 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted each year! About 33% of food made for humans is never consumed, so this is an area we need to improve. According to Project Drawdown, “Making uneaten food wastes water, energy, land and money. It also makes greenhouse gases that are bad for the Earth. The food we waste is responsible for (造成) about 8% of CO2, sent into the air.” Wasting no food is easier said than done, but British cookbook writer Jack Monroe has some ideas for using the food we buy. For example, salad is often wasted because it goes bad quickly. In fact, it can be used to make pesto—a yummy Italian sauce (酱). You can put pesto on bread, eggs, or other things you like. Even banana peels (果皮) can be used to make banana bread. Monroe’s website is home to no-waste and cheap cooking ideas. If you want to save money and not waste food, do check it out. Last night, I was going to throw away some bread when I thought of Monroe. So I used a machine to turn it into crumbs (面包屑) and put them in the fridge. Now I have crumbs ready to use. Hopefully, you’ll find Monroe’s ideas as helpful as I did. 1．What can we learn about food waste? A．It is difficult to solve. B．It is a new problem. C．It is harmful to our planet. D．It is bad for people’s health. 2．What does the underlined word “consumed” mean? A．Eaten. B．Loved. C．Sold. D．Wasted. 3．How should we deal with uneaten food according to Jack Monroe? A．By throwing it away. B．By putting it in the fridge. C．By turning it into new food. D．By making an Italian sauce with it. 4．Why does the writer mention her own experience in Paragraph 5? A．To tell readers how to make crumbs. B．To encourage readers to take action. C．To ask readers to save money. D．To show bread is the most wasted food. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．From waste to taste. B．Eat less, waste less. C．The terrible food waste. D．Activities on Earth Day. 话题5 景点介绍与旅行见闻 Passage 1 Where do you usually spend your vacations, at well-known places or less-known ones? Now, a growing number of young holidaymakers prefer to spend their leisure time at less-known tourist spots in China to look for a unique, relaxed holiday experience. People call it “reverse tourism”. “Man can only move one meter every ten minutes on Huangshan Mountain” became a hot topic on social media during this year’s National Day Holiday in October, a time when well-known tourist attractions like Huangshan are always overcrowded. Too many tourists usually make it hard for visitors to have a good time. Spending vacations at less-known places is also a good way to save money. The prices of plane tickets, meals, hotel stays and so on are usually high at well-known places. But at less-known ones, they are not. Famous tourist spots even often raise their prices during holidays. Another key is that less-known places can bring a feeling of freshness. They are not as “commercial” (商业化) as developed ones and are able to provide new and natural experiences. Besides, unlike well-known spots, some unexplored places with little online exposure can give more surprises. Many people think reverse tourism is not a bad thing. It means that visitors have more places to visit, which brings chances for people at less-known places to get more money. More importantly, reverse tourism inspires those well-known spots to improve themselves for better service. 1．What does “reverse tourism” mean according to the passage? A．A trip to experience something unique and relaxed. B．A trip to less-known places instead of famous ones. C．A trip to spend one’s leisure time at one’s hometown. D．A trip for young holidaymakers to relax themselves. 2．Which are the reasons for NOT visiting well-known places? ① There are usually too many people there. ② Tourists have poor choices of hotels and foods. ③ Tourists may spend more money on meals and hotel stays. ④ Tourists know these places so well that they don’t feel surprised. A．①②④ B．①②③ C．②③④ D．①③④ 3．What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A．Well-known places. B．Plane tickets, meals and hotel stays. C．Less-known places. D．The prices of everything during a trip. 4．What is the purpose (目的) of the passage? A．To tell us something about reverse tourism. B．To ask us to visit less-known tourist spots. C．To help the locals make money through tourism. D．To give a travel guide to less-known places. Passage 2 Here is some information about some of the wonders of the world. I am sure you will be interested in them. The Pyramids of Egypt There are about ninety pyramids known today. The most well-known was built for Pharaoh (法老) Khufu. It is known as the “Great Pyramid”. It’s also the largest one. Workers used about 2.3 million blocks of stones (石块) to build it. It took the people twenty years to build it. The Hanging Garden of Babylon The King NebuchadnezzarⅡ built it on a hill in Iraq. It was a large and wonderful structure (建筑物). Many parts of the garden were high up on large columns  (支柱). There were many big and green trees with lovely flowers. Although there are many different ideas about the garden, we are not sure whether this wonder ever existed (存在)! The Lighthouse of Alexandria The Lighthouse of Alexandria was designed about 2, 000 years ago. It was in Egypt, too. It was one of the ancient wonders of the world, about 135 metres high.

It tells the story of a man who goes to Shangri-La after a plane crash in Xinjiang’s Kunlun Mountains. However, Shangri-La is not in Xinjiang. People believe it is in Yunnan and Sichuan. We are not 100% sure, but many think Hilton wrote about it based on what Joseph Rock wrote. Rock was a botanist. He spent a lot of time in the forests and mountains of Yunnan and Sichuan in the 1920s and 1930s and was always researching and writing about different kinds of plants. What he saw in China is like what Hilton described about Shangri-La. I first knew Shangri-La from a video game, Far Cry 4. In this game, you sometimes go to Shangri-La to fight against bad guys. The place in the game is really beautiful. There are special animals and brave people. I think the game makers got ideas from Lost Horizon and Rock’s writings. I haven’t been to Yunnan or Sichuan. But I heard the countryside there is really nice. I hope to visit there some day and see the beauty of “Shangri-La” by myself. 1．Where did Shangri-La first appear? A．In a movie. B．In a novel. C．In a song. D．In a poem. 2．What does the underlined word “botanist” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A．A nature explorer. B．A plant expert. C．A landscape artist.

C．The writer got to know Shangri-La from a video game. D．The writer has experienced the real beauty of Shangri-La. 4．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To introduce a game about Shangri-La. B．To describe what life is like in Shangri-La. C．To tell readers which province Shangri-La is in. D．To provide readers with some facts about Shangri-La. 5．Where can we find this passage?

Passage 3 On May 3, 2024, Chang’e 6 Spacecraft was sent from Wenchang Space Launch Center to the far side of the Moon. On June 25, it travelled back and brought valuable soil (土壤) from there for the first time. Before Chang’e 6, Chang’e 4 landed on the Moon’s far side on January 3, 2019, but it did not collect and bring back moon soil. It only explored the area near its landing site.

It is extremely big and hot in the sky, like a huge ball of fire. It gives us light and heat (热量). Without the Sun, there would be no life on Earth. The Sun is so large that about one million Earths could fit inside it! It’s very far from the Earth. Light from the Sun takes about eight minutes to reach us. The Earth is a planet (行星). It is the only planet in the Solar System where there is life. The Earth goes around the Sun. This trip takes one year. The Earth also spins around itself. When a part of the Earth faces the Sun, it is daytime there. When it turns away from the Sun, it becomes night. The Earth has one Moon. The Moon goes around the Earth, and it affects (影响) the tides (潮水) in our oceans. The Solar System is made up of the Sun and the planets that go around it. There are eight planets in the Solar System. The Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is not too hot or too cold, and it has air and water. These things make it possible (使……成为可能) for plants, animals, and people to live here. Our Earth has different kinds of places, like mountains, rivers, deserts (沙漠), and forests. About 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, but most of it is salty ocean water. Only a small part is fresh water that we can drink.

It was taken in UNESCO’s World Heritage List on July 26, along with four other wetlands in China. As we celebrate this good news, let’s learn more about wetlands. Some areas on Earth’s land are covered by water or have water just below the soil (土壤). This may be all year round or for just part of the year. These places are called wetlands. Wetlands are home to lots of different animals, such as frogs, snakes and others. Migratory birds, like wild geese and ducks, rest in wetlands during their long trips. Wetlands cover only 6 percent of the Earth’s surface (表面), but they are important in nature. They can clean the dirty water from cities and farms. Wetlands trap pollutants (截留污染物) in the water and keep them in the soil. During heavy rains, wetlands take in a lot of rainwater. What’s more, wetlands help slow climate change. They take in greenhouse gases and hold them in the soil and plants. Wetlands also pull down (降解) leaves, animal waste (动物粪便) and other high-carbon matter from the surface of the water. 1．How many wetlands of China were taken in UNESCO’s World Heritage List on July 26?

Soon, Joe was eager to see Fonzie every day. He loved playing with him and feeding (喂食) him. Every time Joe arrived, Fonzie came to see him right away. Joe’s mother told him always to feed Fonzie using his left hand, so Joe used his left side more and more. Slowly, he got better and better. Joe’s mother saw that Fonzie helped him a lot, and she knew it was a good idea for other people, too. So, she and her family worked to open a place called Island Dolphin Care. It’s next to Dolphin Plus and many people with health problems come to spend time with the dolphins. Joe is now over 30 years old and very well. However, Fonzie died in 2004 when Joe was 17.

However, there wasn’t one climbing club in his school at first, so he felt sad. At the beginning of the second year of middle school, his school offered rock climbing lessons in order to encourage students to exercise. He was so happy that he took the lessons at once. In the first lesson, the coach said, “Rock climbing needs strength, speed, courage and persistence (坚持). All these are important.” But to Bob, 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 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. 1．Why did the school offer rock climbing lessons? A．To develop students’ hobbies. B．To offer students more clubs. C．To let students enjoy activities. D．To encourage students to exercise. 2．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4?

Xiaoman is the eighth one. Its name means “a little full” in Chinese. During this solar term, we begin to find small changes in the environment. In the south of China, we can find the rising water levels because of more rainy days. Around the Jiangnan area, we can also see the flowering of plants. In the north of China, Xiaoman is an important time for the spring-planted crops. The crops are growing and almost ready for harvest. So, this solar term is important to farmers. In ancient times, people held different activities during Xiaoman. On the day of Xiaoman, farmers gathered around and rode on the waterwheels. Waterwheels were one of the most important tools for them to bring water to the fields. Also, farmers put water into their fields in the hope of a good harvest. What’s more, people believed that Xiaoman was the birthday of the Silkworm God. They would take good care of silkworms and cocoons to show their respect for the God. Eating wild vegetables is also a tradition during Xiaoman. Bitter greens are the earliest wild vegetables. Chinese people like them. They are not tasty and a little bitter. So, it is not usual for people to plant them in their own fields. But they can help our bodies in many ways. Xiaoman is a time with many traditions. We can enjoy both something good in nature and something simple in life. There are also great meanings behind Xiaoman. Just as the name suggests, things are almost full but not quite there yet. The best life comes from finding happiness with little things, just like a moon not fully round. Besides, it also tells us to pay attention to environmental changes and follow the rules of nature. 1．What change usually happens during Xiaoman? A．It rains more often. B．It is getting colder. C．People begin to collect crops. D．The flowers of the bitter herbs start to fall. 2．What are the traditions during Xiaoman? A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①②④ D．①③④ 3．What is RIGHT about bitter greens?

B．Best life lies in having something rich. C．People should respect nature. D．Things need to be full and enough. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了传统节气——小满。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“During this solar term, we begin to find small changes in the environment.

It runs from the Qinling Mountains in the west to the Huai River in the east. It divides China into two parts: the northern part, known as northern China, and the southern part, known as southern China. Let’s look at them! In general, northern China has a cold and dry winter, while southern China is known for its cold, humid weather. In northern China, the coldest month often comes in January. Temperatures (温度) can drop to as low as -30℃, while the southernmost cities enjoy temperatures of around 20℃—even in January. During the winter months, the northern provinces experience cold weather for a long time. The ground freezes. Some places are covered in snow. People often build snowmen and play in the snow to enjoy the happiness of winter. But in southern China, snow seldom falls, and the rivers do not freeze. Heating is important for northern Chinese. People often wear hats, scarfs, down jackets (羽绒服) and gloves outside. But when they return home, they only need a T-shirt.

One thing you could try is cutting down on food waste. The amount of food you waste may not seem like a lot, but when you add up all the food that families waste around the world, it’s a big problem. About 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted each year! About 33% of food made for humans is never consumed, so this is an area we need to improve. According to Project Drawdown, “Making uneaten food wastes water, energy, land and money. It also makes greenhouse gases that are bad for the Earth. The food we waste is responsible for (造成) about 8% of CO2, sent into the air.” Wasting no food is easier said than done, but British cookbook writer Jack Monroe has some ideas for using the food we buy. For example, salad is often wasted because it goes bad quickly. In fact, it can be used to make pesto—a yummy Italian sauce (酱). You can put pesto on bread, eggs, or other things you like. Even banana peels (果皮) can be used to make banana bread. Monroe’s website is home to no-waste and cheap cooking ideas. If you want to save money and not waste food, do check it out. Last night, I was going to throw away some bread when I thought of Monroe. So I used a machine to turn it into crumbs (面包屑) and put them in the fridge. Now I have crumbs ready to use. Hopefully, you’ll find Monroe’s ideas as helpful as I did. 1．What can we learn about food waste? A．It is difficult to solve. B．It is a new problem. C．It is harmful to our planet. D．It is bad for people’s health. 2．What does the underlined word “consumed” mean? A．Eaten. B．Loved. C．Sold. D．Wasted. 3．How should we deal with uneaten food according to Jack Monroe? A．By throwing it away. B．By putting it in the fridge. C．By turning it into new food. D．By making an Italian sauce with it. 4．Why does the writer mention her own experience in Paragraph 5? A．To tell readers how to make crumbs. B．To encourage readers to take action. C．To ask readers to save money. D．To show bread is the most wasted food. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．From waste to taste. B．Eat less, waste less. C．The terrible food waste. D．Activities on Earth Day. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了食物浪费的严重性及其对环境的影响，并提出了减少食物浪费的建议。 1．细节理解题。根据“Making uneaten food wastes water, energy, land and money. It also makes greenhouse gases that are bad for the Earth.”可知，食物浪费会浪费资源并产生温室气体，对地球有害。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“About 33% of food made for humans is never consumed”可知，为人类生产的食物中有33%从未被“食用”。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Jack Monroe has some ideas for using the food we buy. For example, salad...can be used to make pesto...Even banana peels can be used to make banana bread.”可知，Jack Monroe建议将未食用的食物转化为新的食物。故选C。 4．推理判断题。第五段作者分享自己将面包做成面包屑而不浪费的经历，是为了鼓励读者也采取行动减少食物浪费。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。文章主要讲述了如何通过创意方法将可能被浪费的食物转化为美味，即“从浪费到美味”。故选A。 话题5 景点介绍与旅行见闻 Passage 1 Where do you usually spend your vacations, at well-known places or less-known ones? Now, a growing number of young holidaymakers prefer to spend their leisure time at less-known tourist spots in China to look for a unique, relaxed holiday experience. People call it “reverse tourism”. “Man can only move one meter every ten minutes on Huangshan Mountain” became a hot topic on social media during this year’s National Day Holiday in October, a time when well-known tourist attractions like Huangshan are always overcrowded. Too many tourists usually make it hard for visitors to have a good time. Spending vacations at less-known places is also a good way to save money. The prices of plane tickets, meals, hotel stays and so on are usually high at well-known places. But at less-known ones, they are not. Famous tourist spots even often raise their prices during holidays. Another key is that less-known places can bring a feeling of freshness. They are not as “commercial” (商业化) as developed ones and are able to provide new and natural experiences. Besides, unlike well-known spots, some unexplored places with little online exposure can give more surprises. Many people think reverse tourism is not a bad thing. It means that visitors have more places to visit, which brings chances for people at less-known places to get more money. More importantly, reverse tourism inspires those well-known spots to improve themselves for better service. 1．What does “reverse tourism” mean according to the passage? A．A trip to experience something unique and relaxed. B．A trip to less-known places instead of famous ones. C．A trip to spend one’s leisure time at one’s hometown. D．A trip for young holidaymakers to relax themselves. 2．Which are the reasons for NOT visiting well-known places? ① There are usually too many people there. ② Tourists have poor choices of hotels and foods. ③ Tourists may spend more money on meals and hotel stays. ④ Tourists know these places so well that they don’t feel surprised. A．①②④ B．①②③ C．②③④ D．①③④ 3．What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A．Well-known places. B．Plane tickets, meals and hotel stays. C．Less-known places. D．The prices of everything during a trip. 4．What is the purpose (目的) of the passage? A．To tell us something about reverse tourism. B．To ask us to visit less-known tourist spots. C．To help the locals make money through tourism. D．To give a travel guide to less-known places. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“反向旅游”这一新兴趋势，分析了其成因，并肯定了其积极意义。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now, a growing number of young holidaymakers prefer to spend their leisure time at less-known tourist spots in China to look for a unique, relaxed holiday experience. People call it ‘reverse tourism’.”可知，“反向旅游”是去不太知名的旅游景点度过闲暇时间，寻找独特、轻松的假期体验的一种旅游趋势。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“a time when well-known tourist attractions like Huangshan are always overcrowded. Too many tourists usually make it hard for visitors to have a good time.”；第三段中“Spending vacations at less-known places is also a good way to save money.”；第四段中“Another key is that less-known places can bring a feeling of freshness.”可知，人们不去知名景点的原因包括：那里通常有太多的人；游客可能会在餐饮和酒店住宿上花更多的钱以及游客对这些地方非常了解，不会感到惊讶。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中“The prices of plane tickets, meals, hotel stays and so on are usually high at well-known places. But at less-known ones, they are not.”可知，知名地方的机票、餐饮、酒店住宿等价格通常都很高。但在不太知名的地方，情况并非如此。由此可推断，此处代词“they”指代的是前文提到的“The prices of plane tickets, meals, hotel stays and so on” ，即指旅途中一切东西的价格。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了“反向旅游”这一新兴趋势，分析了其成因，并肯定了其积极意义。由此可知，本文的目的是告诉我们一些关于“反向旅游”的东西。故选A。 Passage 2 Here is some information about some of the wonders of the world.

It is said that it is a wonderful place. People there seem very happy. But does it really exist? Well, it is in China. Shangri-La first showed up in a novel called Lost Horizon in 1933. The book was written by a British man named James Hilton. It tells the story of a man who goes to Shangri-La after a plane crash in Xinjiang’s Kunlun Mountains. However, Shangri-La is not in Xinjiang. People believe it is in Yunnan and Sichuan. We are not 100% sure, but many think Hilton wrote about it based on what Joseph Rock wrote. Rock was a botanist. He spent a lot of time in the forests and mountains of Yunnan and Sichuan in the 1920s and 1930s and was always researching and writing about different kinds of plants. What he saw in China is like what Hilton described about Shangri-La. I first knew Shangri-La from a video game, Far Cry 4. In this game, you sometimes go to Shangri-La to fight against bad guys. The place in the game is really beautiful. There are special animals and brave people. I think the game makers got ideas from Lost Horizon and Rock’s writings. I haven’t been to Yunnan or Sichuan. But I heard the countryside there is really nice. I hope to visit there some day and see the beauty of “Shangri-La” by myself. 1．Where did Shangri-La first appear? A．In a movie. B．In a novel.

C．The writer got to know Shangri-La from a video game. D．The writer has experienced the real beauty of Shangri-La. 4．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To introduce a game about Shangri-La. B．To describe what life is like in Shangri-La. C．To tell readers which province Shangri-La is in. D．To provide readers with some facts about Shangri-La. 5．Where can we find this passage? A．In a travel guidebook. B．In a history textbook. C．In a personal blog. D．In a scientific research paper. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍香格里拉，它最初出现在小说中，人们认为它可能在云南和四川，作者从游戏中知晓它，虽未去过云南和四川但听闻当地乡村很美，希望能亲睹其风采。 1．细节理解题。根据“Shangri-La first showed up in a novel called Lost Horizon in 1933.”可知，香格里拉最初出现在一本名为《消失的地平线》的小说中，故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Rock was a botanist. He spent a lot of time in the forests and mountains of Yunnan and Sichuan in the 1920s and 1930s and was always researching and writing about different kinds of plants.” 可知，Rock花大量时间在云南和四川的山林中研究并撰写各种植物，由此可推断“botanist”是与植物研究相关的，即植物专家，故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“I first knew Shangri-La from a video game, Far Cry 4.”可知，作者是从电子游戏中知道香格里拉的，故选C。 4．主旨大意题。本文介绍了香格里拉最初出现的地方、人们对其位置的看法、作者对它的认知来源以及作者想去实地看看的愿望等，整体是在给读者提供关于香格里拉的一些事实信息，故选D。 5．推理判断题。文章内容主要是关于香格里拉的介绍以及作者的相关经历和想法，这种风格更符合个人博客的特点，故选C。 话题6 太空旅行及宇宙探索 Passage 1 On Sept 28, the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) showed a new spacesuit (宇航服) for landing on the moon.

The Sun is a star. It is extremely big and hot in the sky, like a huge ball of fire. It gives us light and heat (热量). Without the Sun, there would be no life on Earth. The Sun is so large that about one million Earths could fit inside it! It’s very far from the Earth. Light from the Sun takes about eight minutes to reach us. The Earth is a planet (行星). It is the only planet in the Solar System where there is life. The Earth goes around the Sun. This trip takes one year. The Earth also spins around itself. When a part of the Earth faces the Sun, it is daytime there. When it turns away from the Sun, it becomes night. The Earth has one Moon. The Moon goes around the Earth, and it affects (影响) the tides (潮水) in our oceans. The Solar System is made up of the Sun and the planets that go around it. There are eight planets in the Solar System. The Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is not too hot or too cold, and it has air and water. These things make it possible (使……成为可能) for plants, animals, and people to live here. Our Earth has different kinds of places, like mountains, rivers, deserts (沙漠), and forests. About 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, but most of it is salty ocean water. Only a small part is fresh water that we can drink. The Earth also has different climates (气候), from very cold places at the North and South Poles to hot places near the Equator (赤道). 1．The underlined (下划线) word “spins” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.

It was taken in UNESCO’s World Heritage List on July 26, along with four other wetlands in China. As we celebrate this good news, let’s learn more about wetlands. Some areas on Earth’s land are covered by water or have water just below the soil (土壤). This may be all year round or for just part of the year. These places are called wetlands. Wetlands are home to lots of different animals, such as frogs, snakes and others. Migratory birds, like wild geese and ducks, rest in wetlands during their long trips. Wetlands cover only 6 percent of the Earth’s surface (表面), but they are important in nature. They can clean the dirty water from cities and farms. Wetlands trap pollutants (截留污染物) in the water and keep them in the soil. During heavy rains, wetlands take in a lot of rainwater. What’s more, wetlands help slow climate change. They take in greenhouse gases and hold them in the soil and plants. Wetlands also pull down (降解) leaves, animal waste (动物粪便) and other high-carbon matter from the surface of the water. 1．How many wetlands of China were taken in UNESCO’s World Heritage List on July 26?
