A good memory helps one learn a language well. Everybody learns his own language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the students have very little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.

I thought it would be a great way to add a personal touch to my room. First, I gathered all the materials I needed, including some wooden sticks, glue, scissors, and colorful crayons. I started by cutting the wooden sticks into the right lengths to form the frame. However, it wasn’t as easy as I thought. The sticks kept splitting when I cut them. I was a bit impatient, but I didn’t give up. I adjusted (调整) the way I held the scissors and tried again. Finally, I got all the pieces cut. Next, I glued the sticks together to form the frame. While waiting for the glue to dry, I used the crayons to draw some cute patterns on the frame. When I picked up the frame, the corners came apart because the glue wasn’t strong enough. I had to re-glue them and hold them tightly for a while. After several attempts (尝试), my DIY photo frame was finally done. I put a beautiful photo of my family inside. Looking at the finished frame, I felt a great sense of success. This hands-on experience taught me that making something with my own hands can be full of challenges, but the joy of creating is truly worth it. 1．What problem did the writer meet when cutting the wooden sticks for the photo frame? 2．Why did the writer re-glue the corners? 3．How did the writer feel after finishing the DIY photo frame? 【答案】1．The sticks kept splitting. 2．Because the corners came apart./Because the glue wasn’t strong enough. 3．(The writer felt) a great sense of success./Successful./Proud. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者详细记录了自己动手制作一个DIY相框的过程，包括遇到的困难、解决的方法以及完成后的成就感。 1．根据“The sticks kept splitting when I cut them.”可知，作者在切割相框时遇到的问题是木棒容易裂开。故填The sticks kept splitting. 2．根据“When I picked up the frame, the corners came apart because the glue wasn’t strong enough.

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. 【导语】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. 阅读短文回答问题。 Police dogs are given special training to help the police with their work.

Most rivers begin in mountains and end in the oceans. The water flows (流动) from high ground to low ground. At first, rivers are small and are called creeks or streams (小溪). As water enters from other streams, a river grows. Some rivers become very large and long. The longest river in the world is the Nile River, in Africa. One of the world’s oldest civilizations (文明) developed next to it. How much do you know about this great river? The Nile River is the “Father of African Rivers”. The Nile is 6,671 km long. The river runs from south to north, beginning in the mountains of Burundi and ending in the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile played an important role in the development of ancient Egypt (埃及). It ran through ancient Egypt, bringing water to plants and a wide river to ships. The river was full of fish and the banks were full of good things for ancient Egyptians (埃及人) to eat. Each spring, snow on the mountain tops would become water. That was a very good thing. When the water passed by, it left behind good soil. Plants could grow well in the black and rich soil. The Egyptians called it “the gift of the Nile”. The Nile provided other gifts for ancient Egyptians. Papyrus (纸莎草), used for everything especially in making paper, grew along its banks. This amazing river remains important for Egyptians to this day. More than 95% of the country’s population depend on its water and live within (在……范围内) a few miles of the river banks. Canals (运河) bring water from the Nile to water farms and support cities. And it is not just important for humans — the river and its banks are home to lots of wonderful wildlife, too — including different kinds of fish and birds, as well as turtles, snakes, hippos and one of our planet’s largest reptiles — the Nile crocodile (鳄鱼)! Although Egypt is in the middle of a desert, life along the Nile is wonderful. 1．What does the first paragraph (段落) mainly talk about? _______________________________________________________________________________________ 2．Where does the Nile River flow into? _______________________________________________________________________________________ 3．What did the Nile provide for ancient Egyptians? （至少写出两种） _______________________________________________________________________________________ 4．How do you know the Nile is still important for Egyptians today? _______________________________________________________________________________________ 5．What does the writer think of life along the Nile? _______________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】1．It mainly talks about how a river grows. 2．It flows into the Mediterranean Sea. 3．The Nile provided water, fish, soil, papyrus, food, … for ancient Egyptians. 4．More than 95% of the country’s population depend on its water and live within a few miles of the river banks./More than 95% of the country’s population depend on its water./People live within a few miles of the river banks. 1．It is wonderful. 【导语】本文介绍了尼罗河对于埃及的影响，不仅为沿岸的埃及人提供了水源、航运便利和好的食物，也给他们带来了肥沃的土壤和纸莎草等，所以尼罗河沿岸的生活很美好。 1．根据“At first, rivers are small and are called creeks or streams (小溪).

Tanghulu is a traditional snack from Northern China. People of all ages love it, especially kids. It is usually made of haws (山楂), which are full of vitamin C． About 800 years ago, one of the emperor’s wives was sick and had a poor appetite. The doctor told her to eat 10 boiled haws with sugar before dinner. She felt better after two weeks. People heard about it and started making it too. They put haws on sticks, dipped them in hot sugary syrup (糖浆), and dried. The syrup made a hard and sweet shell around haws, like wearing a sugar coat. They taste both sweet and sour at the same time. Now people use many other fruits to make tanghulu, such as cherry tomatoes, oranges, strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, bananas, or grapes. To make tanghulu at home is super easy, and it takes less than 20 minutes. Whether you’re looking for a quick snack for yourself or treating friends, tanghulu is a good choice. Here are the steps: a) Thread each fruit onto a bamboo stick. You can use the whole fruit or cut it into small pieces. b) Make the syrup. Cook the sugar with water until it turns into large bubbles. c) Carefully dip the fruit into the hot syrup, and then quickly put it into the ice water. This will help harden the syrup.

My group chose the USA and the UK. We spent three evenings looking up information online and asking our pen pals. I learned so many cool things, and I want to share them with you today. In the USA, many middle schools have “after-school clubs” that run from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Students can join robot clubs, drama clubs, or sports clubs like basketball and soccer. My pen pal Emma is in the book club—they read storybooks and talk about their favorite characters every Friday. She says the clubs are more colorful and fun than regular classes. Their summer vacation is long, about two months, from July to August! In the UK, most students wear uniforms: boys wear suits and ties, and girls wear skirts and blouses. They have a short break called “break time” at 10 a.m., where they eat snacks like cookies or fruit. Their school lunch is usually hot—like fish and chips or pasta. Compared to our school, they have fewer class hours on Fridays. Once, Emma’s school took them to a museum to learn about history! I think every country’s school has its own good parts. We have more math classes, but I hope we have more after-school clubs too. What’s your school like? Do you have any special activities or rules? Leave a comment (评论) below—I’d love to hear from you! 1．What did the group spend three evenings looking up information for? 2．How long do after-school clubs last in US middle schools? 3．What do UK students do at 10 a.m.? 4．How did Emma’s school help students learn history? 5．What does the writer think about the schools? 【答案】1．For the English teacher’s group project. 2．2 hours./From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.. 3．Take a break (to eat snacks). 4．By taking them to a museum. 5．Each has its own good parts. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了作者小组研究美国和英国学校的情况，并分享了他们的发现。 1．根据“our English teacher gave us a group project... We spent three evenings looking up information online”可知，小组花三个晚上查资料是为了英语小组项目。故填For the English teacher’s group project. 2．根据“In the USA, many middle schools have ‘after-school clubs’ that run from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.”可知，美国中学的课后俱乐部从下午3点持续到5点，即两个小时。故填2 hours./From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.. 3．根据“They have a short break called ‘break time’ at 10 a.m., where they eat snacks”可知，英国学生上午10点休息来吃零食。故填Take a break (to eat snacks). 4．根据“Once, Emma’s school took them to a museum to learn about history!”可知，Emma的学校通过带学生去博物馆帮助他们学习历史。故填By taking them to a museum. 5．根据“I think every country’s school has its own good parts.”可知，作者认为每个国家的学校都有自己的优点。故填Each has its own good parts. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期末复习之单元热点话题题型组合练 （语法填空10篇+阅读回答问题10篇） 一、语法填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Do you have close friends?

After discussion, we decided to sing the song Ode to the Motherland (《歌唱祖国》)to show our love to the country. We practiced hard together after school. After five practices, some students still couldn’t remember the words. Then one classmate came up with an idea. He divided us into small groups. Then the person who could sing well taught the others. Slowly, it began to work. We were full of hope for the festival. The day arrived. We had never taken part in such activities before, so we were kind of nervous. Our teacher seemed to read our minds and gave us some suggestions to make us feel relaxed. But when we stood in front of hundreds of people, we still felt nervous. We all tried to control (控制) ourselves because we were afraid of making mistakes. When we started to sing, the teacher looked at us with a smile. This made us feel no longer nervous.

Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn new things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. A good memory helps one learn a language well. Everybody learns his own language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the students have very little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. Our memories can get better and better if we exercise our brains more often. Do you want to learn a foreign language well? If so, you must practise listening and speaking a lot. 1．Why can we remember things after a long time? 2．What can a man with a good memory do easily? 3．How can a child learn the languages if he or she hears, remembers and speaks them every day? 4．What else would you like to do to learn a foreign language well? Write 30 words or more. 阅读回答问题，每题答案不超过8个单词。 Hands-on Fun: Making a DIY Photo Frame Last weekend, I decided to make a DIY photo frame (框). I thought it would be a great way to add a personal touch to my room. First, I gathered all the materials I needed, including some wooden sticks, glue, scissors, and colorful crayons. I started by cutting the wooden sticks into the right lengths to form the frame. However, it wasn’t as easy as I thought. The sticks kept splitting when I cut them. I was a bit impatient, but I didn’t give up. I adjusted (调整) the way I held the scissors and tried again. Finally, I got all the pieces cut. Next, I glued the sticks together to form the frame. While waiting for the glue to dry, I used the crayons to draw some cute patterns on the frame. When I picked up the frame, the corners came apart because the glue wasn’t strong enough. I had to re-glue them and hold them tightly for a while. After several attempts (尝试), my DIY photo frame was finally done. I put a beautiful photo of my family inside. Looking at the finished frame, I felt a great sense of success. This hands-on experience taught me that making something with my own hands can be full of challenges, but the joy of creating is truly worth it. 1．What problem did the writer meet when cutting the wooden sticks for the photo frame? 2．Why did the writer re-glue the corners? 3．How did the writer feel after finishing the DIY photo frame? 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? 阅读短文回答问题。 Police dogs are given special training to help the police with their work. Many different types of dogs can be trained to do this work, but the best known ones are German shepherds and bloodhounds. In Britain, police dogs usually have a 13-week training course and many dogs fail. Not all dogs make good police dogs. They must be completely trustworthy and honest. Most police dogs live with their handlers as part of the family, but they are not pets. They are working dogs and they have a job to do. Police dogs are trained to chase and hold people who are trying to get away from the police. Police dogs are not vicious animals. They are trained to hold on to people until their handler tells them to let go. Police dogs often go into dangerous places and they are given special vests to protect them from knife and gun attacks. Dogs are not only trained to chase and catch criminals. They are also used for following suspects or finding missing people. This is because some dogs, such as bloodhounds, have a very good sense of smell and can be trained to recognize certain types of smells. Some dogs are used to find survivors after earthquakes or explosions and some are specially trained to find dead bodies. In many countries dogs are used in airports to check luggage for drugs and bombs. Labradors, spaniels and beagles are used for this because they are friendly dogs and people are not afraid of them. 1．How long does the training course for police dogs usually last in Britain? 2．What protects police dogs when they go into dangerous places? 3．Are people afraid of dogs like Labradors, spaniels and beagles when they are checking luggage in airports? Why? 4．What qualities should a good police dog have? 5．Why can some dogs be used to find missing people? 阅读并回答问题。 When there is a fire, it can be very dangerous for people.

Most rivers begin in mountains and end in the oceans. The water flows (流动) from high ground to low ground. At first, rivers are small and are called creeks or streams (小溪). As water enters from other streams, a river grows. Some rivers become very large and long. The longest river in the world is the Nile River, in Africa. One of the world’s oldest civilizations (文明) developed next to it. How much do you know about this great river? The Nile River is the “Father of African Rivers”. The Nile is 6,671 km long. The river runs from south to north, beginning in the mountains of Burundi and ending in the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile played an important role in the development of ancient Egypt (埃及). It ran through ancient Egypt, bringing water to plants and a wide river to ships. The river was full of fish and the banks were full of good things for ancient Egyptians (埃及人) to eat. Each spring, snow on the mountain tops would become water. That was a very good thing. When the water passed by, it left behind good soil. Plants could grow well in the black and rich soil. The Egyptians called it “the gift of the Nile”. The Nile provided other gifts for ancient Egyptians. Papyrus (纸莎草), used for everything especially in making paper, grew along its banks. This amazing river remains important for Egyptians to this day. More than 95% of the country’s population depend on its water and live within (在……范围内) a few miles of the river banks. Canals (运河) bring water from the Nile to water farms and support cities. And it is not just important for humans — the river and its banks are home to lots of wonderful wildlife, too — including different kinds of fish and birds, as well as turtles, snakes, hippos and one of our planet’s largest reptiles — the Nile crocodile (鳄鱼)! Although Egypt is in the middle of a desert, life along the Nile is wonderful. 1．What does the first paragraph (段落) mainly talk about? _______________________________________________________________________________________ 2．Where does the Nile River flow into? _______________________________________________________________________________________ 3．What did the Nile provide for ancient Egyptians? （至少写出两种） _______________________________________________________________________________________ 4．How do you know the Nile is still important for Egyptians today? _______________________________________________________________________________________ 5．What does the writer think of life along the Nile? _______________________________________________________________________________________ Tanghulu is a traditional snack from Northern China. People of all ages love it, especially kids. It is usually made of haws (山楂), which are full of vitamin C． About 800 years ago, one of the emperor’s wives was sick and had a poor appetite. The doctor told her to eat 10 boiled haws with sugar before dinner. She felt better after two weeks. People heard about it and started making it too. They put haws on sticks, dipped them in hot sugary syrup (糖浆), and dried. The syrup made a hard and sweet shell around haws, like wearing a sugar coat. They taste both sweet and sour at the same time. Now people use many other fruits to make tanghulu, such as cherry tomatoes, oranges, strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, bananas, or grapes. To make tanghulu at home is super easy, and it takes less than 20 minutes. Whether you’re looking for a quick snack for yourself or treating friends, tanghulu is a good choice. Here are the steps: a) Thread each fruit onto a bamboo stick. You can use the whole fruit or cut it into small pieces. b) Make the syrup. Cook the sugar with water until it turns into large bubbles. c) Carefully dip the fruit into the hot syrup, and then quickly put it into the ice water. This will help harden the syrup. Why not have a try at home? 1．Where is tanghulu from? 2．How does tanghulu made of haws taste? 3．How long does it take to make tanghulu at home? 4．Do you like tanghulu? Why or why not?

My group chose the USA and the UK. We spent three evenings looking up information online and asking our pen pals. I learned so many cool things, and I want to share them with you today. In the USA, many middle schools have “after-school clubs” that run from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Students can join robot clubs, drama clubs, or sports clubs like basketball and soccer. My pen pal Emma is in the book club—they read storybooks and talk about their favorite characters every Friday. She says the clubs are more colorful and fun than regular classes. Their summer vacation is long, about two months, from July to August! In the UK, most students wear uniforms: boys wear suits and ties, and girls wear skirts and blouses. They have a short break called “break time” at 10 a.m., where they eat snacks like cookies or fruit. Their school lunch is usually hot—like fish and chips or pasta. Compared to our school, they have fewer class hours on Fridays. Once, Emma’s school took them to a museum to learn about history! I think every country’s school has its own good parts. We have more math classes, but I hope we have more after-school clubs too. What’s your school like? Do you have any special activities or rules? Leave a comment (评论) below—I’d love to hear from you! 1．What did the group spend three evenings looking up information for? 2．How long do after-school clubs last in US middle schools? 3．What do UK students do at 10 a.m.? 4．How did Emma’s school help students learn history? 5．What does the writer think about the schools? 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
