Miss Li was telling the children what water was like. After that, she asked her students, “What is water?” No one answered for a few minutes. Miss Li asked again, “Why don’t you answer my question? Didn’t I tell you what water is like?” Just then, a boy put up his hand and said, “Miss Li, you told us that water has no color and no smell. But where to find such kind of water? The water in the river behind my house is always black and it has a bad smell.” Most of the children agreed with him. “I’m sorry, children,” said the teacher, “Our water is getting dirtier and dirtier. That’s a serious problem.” 1．Why didn’t the children answer the teacher’s question at first? 2．Please use a sentence to describe what water is. 3．Why does the water in the river have color and smell? 4．Do you think the boy who answered the teacher’s question is stupid? 5．Is water important for us? Why? Passage 2 A mother planted many kinds of vegetables in her garden. One morning she said to her daughter, "Betty, come here. Look at all these little yellow marks on the leaves of the cabbages. They are eggs of a kind of insects. They are very beautiful but very bad for cabbages. This afternoon you must find all the eggs on the leaves and kill them. In this way, you will help us have better, greener and bigger cabbages. Betty didn't think she should do it at once and in the end she forgot all about it. Her mother was ill for a few days and couldn't work in her garden. When she was well, she took Betty to the garden to see the cabbages. To their surprise, the insects had eaten up every leaf. When Betty saw this, she was upset and began to cry. Then her mother said to her, "We should never put off what we have to do today till tomorrow. And you must learn to deal with the things while they are small, or it will turn into a big problem." 1．What’s in the garden?(no more than four words) 2．Betty didn't think she should find the eggs at once, did she?

(no more than three words) 5．What can you learn from the passage? Passage 3 My name is Brown. I dreamed of becoming an astronaut(宇航员)when I was young. Then I worked hard and trained for 10 years to fly planes and then to fly a spaceship. I felt so excited when I first wore my spacesuit at the age of 26. As an astronaut, the change of gravity(重力)was the most difficult part of the journey. The pull of gravity was the strongest when we left the earth’s atmosphere(大气层). We were heavily pushed back into our seats and couldn’t even talk. But when we got into space, we cheered up immediately and floated weightlessly around in our spaceship cabin(太空舱) because the gravity had disappeared. But we faced a new problem. We had to watch out when eating. In order to prevent our food from floating away, we had to eat special food made for space. Then it was very frightening when we returned to the earth. Fire broke out on the outside of the spaceship as the earth’s gravity increased. It was really an exciting but difficult experience. Now I’m working hard and hope to visit the moon someday. I believe that my dream will come true. 1．How old was Brown when he became an astronaut? 2．What was the most difficult part of Brown’s journey to space? 3．Why could Brown float weightlessly around in the space cabin? 4．What was the new problem that Brown face? 5．What is Brown’s new dream? 话题2 电影和戏剧 Passage 1 Do you know extreme(极限) sports? Let me tell you something about them. Extreme sports are often dangerous. But some people like them. They want to do them, even women. Do you know why? One said, "Because they can make me so excited." Do you think so? Most of people say they are mad(发疯的). Bungee Jumping: People on some South Pacific (太平洋) islands have been bungee jumping for hundreds of years. In 1979, some people bungee jumped off a bridge in England and made the sport popular around the world. Bungee jumping came to China in 1996. Skateboarding: At first, this sport was called "sidewalk surfing". Skateboarders often jump high into the air, go down steps or slide(滑动) down rails on their boards. They wear baggy trousers so they can move more freely. Skydiving: This is the scariest(惊险的) extreme sport. Skydivers jump out of airplanes about four kilometers up in the sky. They usually fall freely for a while and then open a parachute to slow down for a safe landing. Snowboarding: This became a winter Olympic sport in 1998. People tied their feet to the board with special shoes. They don't use any ski sticks. Then, they ride down hills, jump high and do tricks. 1．Are extreme sports exciting? 2．Are these extreme sports safe or dangerous? 3．Which one is the scariest? 4．Why do many people like these sports? 5．What does the passage mainly tell us? Passage 2 Why is Denmark(丹麦) the “kingdom of fairy tales”? Because it was the home of famous writer Hans Christian Andersen. But there might be other reasons， says a new study. Denmark is the happiest country in the world， according to the 2013 World Happiness Report by the United Nations (UN). The report ranks（排列）156 countries and regions (地区). All the top five happiest countries are from Europe， and three of them are from Scandinavia. What makes people there happy? The UN considered several reasons. Money is one. We are happy if we have money to cover our necessities. But extra (额外的) money cannot bring us more happiness. People in Northern Europe know this. From cars to mobile phones， from clothes to buildings， their designs are quite simple. Luxury (奢华) is not there. Another reason is health. Nordic (北欧的) people have a healthy diet. They love fresh food. “There is not a big fast-food culture and no ready meals. We sit down with our families to eat our meals，” said Trina Hahnemann， a Danish cook. A harmonious (和谐的) social life also makes us happy， according to the UN report. How about Nordic people? They live in harmony not only with people around， but also with nature. Night life is not popular in Scandinavia. People go home after work for some quality（高品质的） time with family members. Many families have a backyard. Father and child spend hours there each week， planting flowers and building swings. Do you want to be happy? Think about the Nordic lifestyle， and happiness is in your own hands. 1．Where does Hans Christian Andersen come from? _____________________________________________________________ 2．How many countries of the top five happiest countries are from Scandinavia? _____________________________________________________________ 3．Do Nordic people love fresh food or ready meals? _____________________________________________________________ 4．What do father and child spend hours doing in their yard each week? _____________________________________________________________ 5．What can make people there happy according to the passage? _____________________________________________________________ Passage 3 Many people believe that life has smiled on Yang Mi: at the age of 4, she got her first TV drama role; at 16, she became a model for a fashion magazine; at 18, she went to her dream college — Beijing Film Academy (北京电影学院).  That year, the 24-year-old actress played the bad girl Luo Qingchuan in the time-travelling TV drama, Palace (《宫锁心玉》). The drama became a big success and made Yang very famous. The number of her micro blog followers rises from several thousand to more than 3 million overnight. Could she be any luckier? Yang doesn’t think luck had anything to do with her success. She works hard all by herself. “Every chance is achieved from the efforts I’ve made,”said Yang. People now think she’s very hard-working. She still remembers the time when people gave her the cold shoulder. People treated her with little love. They didn’t want to help her in her time of need.“I have to thank them because they gave me the strength to prove myself,”she said That’s why she is eager to help others when they are in need. In May, Yang became the ambassador (大使) for the Climate Group to fight the bad weather. She calls on people to join the Million-Miracle (百万奇迹) project and plant trees on China’s dry land. 1．When did Yang Mi first play her role in TV dramas? 2．What kind of TV drama is Palace? 3．What made Yang Mi so successful? 4．Did luck have anything to do with her success? 5．What does Yang Mi call on people to do? 话题3 解决争论 Passage 1 A library is a place to keep books and store knowledge. Recently libraries are not as popular as before because people prefer(更喜爱) to use the Internet to find out information, rather than books. With a click of a mouse, it is possible to find out almost anything that people care to know. But being in a room that is full of books is a fantastic thing. Just think about how many words there are in a library. Each of those words has been thought of and carefully chosen by tens of thousands of people. That must make it a special place to be. Maybe all kinds of things can happen in libraries. Sometimes, you see that a library is used for poetry(诗歌) workshops or guitar lessons. Also, there may be writers visiting and talking about their books. All of these activities are much better because they are in a library. Lots of schools have libraries. If your school has a library, it’s probably not just a place to read books. Libraries are also quiet places to be. They are calmer than the playground or the dining hall. It’s the books that keep us calm and peaceful. 1．Why are libraries less popular than before?（不超过 15个词） 2．What is a fantastic thing according to the passage? （不超过15个词） 3．Why are libraries calmer than the playground or the dining hall? （不超过10个词） Passage 2 Building Schools with Bottles By Tracy Vonder Brink Is your school made of bricks or concrete blocks? Many are. But some classrooms in Guatemala and EI Salvador were built a different way—with bottles full of trash! Hug It Forward—bottle schools use plastic bottles, trash, and lots of community helpers. Let’s see how they do it! First, kids and other helpers pick up trash. They’ll burn plastic bags and chip wrappers into eco-bricks. Each classroom takes about 3,500 eco-bricks to build. That’s around one ton of trash! To make eco-bricks, the kids stuff empty plastic bags and chip wrappers into cleaned plastic bottles. They need about 80 plastic bags or around 100 chip wrappers to fill one bottle all the way to the top. Helpers from the community build frames for the classroom walls. They add chicken wire to hold the eco-bricks. The eco-bricks are tied in rows between the layers of chicken wire. Any gaps are filled with more plastic bags. Rows and rows of eco-bricks make up the walls. They are just as strong and last as long as other kinds of walls. 1．How are the classrooms in Guatemala and EI Salvador built differently? 2．What are the materials used to build the bottle schools? 3．How many eco-bricks are needed to build one classroom? 4．How are the eco-bricks made? 5．Are the walls made of eco-bricks as strong as other kinds of walls? Passage 3 One day on the street, Mr. Wilson met a young man, who asked him, “Do you remember me?” Mr. Wilson said, “No.” Then the young man told him he was his student and now he was a teacher as well. Mr. Wilson asked the young man at what time he decided to be a teacher. The young man then told him the following story: When I was a little boy, I used to be very quiet. At that time my parents were busy with their work. I had to live with my grandparents. It seemed that nobody cared much about me. One day, a friend of mine, Martin, came in with a nice new watch. It was shiny brightly in the Sun and I knew I wanted it. I took it out of Martin’s pocket. Shortly later, Martin noticed that his watch was missing and immediately told you about it. You told the class that whoever took it, he should return it. I didn’t give it back. You closed the door and told us all to stand up and form a circle. You were going to search our pockets. However, you asked us to close our eyes because you would only look for his watch if we all had our eyes closed. You searched my pocket and found the watch there. You kept searching everyone’s pockets and when you were done, you said, “We have the watch.” You never said who took the watch to save my dignity (尊严) forever. But it was the greatest shame of my life. You never said anything. You never shouted at me or took me aside to give me a lesson. I received your message clearly. “Do you remember this story, Mr. Wilson?” The old man answered, “Yes. I remember the situation with the missing watch. I was looking for it in everyone’s pocket. I didn’t remember you because I closed my eyes, too. You know, young man, I gave knowledge and I also did what a teacher would do for students.” 1．The young man still remembered Mr. Wilson, didn’t he? 2．Who did the young man live with when he was a little boy? 3．What did Martin do when he noticed his watch was missing? 4．Why didn’t Mr. Wilson tell others who took the watch? 5．How did Mr. Wilson find the watch after the students closed eyes? 6．What did Mr. Wilson do for students as a teacher in the story? Passage 4 After cycling about 2,000 kilometers, Lan Huiyun and his 13 students finally reached their destination (目的地)—Qinghai Lake in Qinghai Province on June 26, 2022. They finished their ride around the lake on June 29 and returned home by train the next day. Lan is a geography teacher from a middle school in Shuozhou, Shanxi Province. He started out with his students on June 12, several days after they finished the gaokao. They set off from their school and passed through five provinces before arriving in Qinghai. In early May, Lan began to plan a bicycle route (路线) that would be safe and also allow the students to experience local sights and customs. He also trained the students in bicycle repairing and basic first aid to ensure (确保) their safety. However, they still met some difficulties, such as flat tires and lack of oxygen (爆胎和缺氧) along their way. “When I noticed their tiredness and low spirits, I would give them some snacks or tell a joke to encourage them to keep moving forward,” Lan said. It was not the first time Lan had organized such a journey. In 2016, he and seven of his students rode from Shuozhou to Manzhouli. And in 2019, Lan and 11 students spent 16 days cycling from Shuozhou to Shanghai. “I’ve never thought that a teacher’s task is only to teach from textbooks,” Lan said. “I hope my students will experience real life and learn how to deal with difficulties through the activities I create for them.” Although it costs time and energy to organize such activities, Lan said he was happy to see his students’ growth during the trips. “I will continue to bring more students to cycle outside our city in the future,” Lan said. 1．When did they finish the ride? 2．Is Lan a geography teacher or a science teacher from a middle school in Shuozhou? 3．Why did Lan trained the students in bicycle repairing and basic first aid? 4．What is Lan’s hope for his students? 5．What do you think of Lan? Passage 5 I run my class with four rules — be respectful, be safe, work hard and love yourself. If a child breaks one of the four rules, , I will give him a verbal warning (口头警告). If a child breaks two of the four rules, I will give the child a note with a description of the rule-breaking action. He will take it home and show it to his parents. If a child breaks three of the four rules, the child has to call his parents. The child must tell his parents what he did and why he is calling. If a child breaks the four rules, the child will go to the headmaster’s office and call his parents. I pay more attention to good things in my classroom. The students sit in groups and each group has a name, a captain and a co-captain. They work together as a team to get points. At the end of the week, the team with the most points can get a big prize. What’s more, my students can give each other “Warm Fuzzies”. These are balls with special eyes. I make the balls for the kids and they can give them to anyone doing something nice for someone else. The children really enjoy them and when they get a Warm Fuzzy, they usually put it on their bags and show it off with pride. 1．How many rules does a child break if he is given a note? 2．What does a child have to do if he breaks three of the four rules? 3．What team can get a big prize? 4．Why do the students put the Warm Fuzzy on their bag? 5．What’s the passage about? 话题4 文化差异 Passage 1 Chinese people have been celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries. Mooncakes are in the shape of a full moon on the Mid-Autumn night. They carry people’s wishes to the families they love and miss. There are many traditional folk stories about this festival. However, most people think that the story of Chang’e is the most touching. Chang’e was Hou Yi’s beautiful wife. After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, a goddess gave him magic medicine to thank him. Whoever drank this could live forever, and Hou Yi planned to drink it with Chang’e. However, a bad man, Pang Meng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was not at home. Chang’e refused to give it to him and drank it all. She became very light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi was so sad the he called out her name to the moon every night. One night, he found that the moon was so bright and round that he could see his wife there. He quickly laid out her favorite fruits and desserts in the garden. How he wished that Chang’e could come back. After this, people started the traditional of admiring the moon and sharing mooncakes with their families. 1．What food do people usually enjoy on Mid-Autumn night? 2．Which story is the most touching about Mid-Autumn Day? 3．Who tried to steal the medicine? 4．What happened to Chang’e after she drank all the magic medicine? 5．How do you usually celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival? Passage 2 Table manners are very different in every country. For example, when you are in England, you must not lift your soup plate to your mouth. This is very impolite. But when you are in Japan, this is completely normal. Lifting your plate to your mouth in Japan is a traditional way of having your soup. And also in Japan you don’t have to worry about making a noise when you have it. It just shows that you really like the food! But it is not the same in Britain, so you shouldn’t make a noise when having food there. In Britain, people don’t put their hands or arms on the table during the meal. But in Mexico, guests keep their hands on the table all the time. In fact, you should watch what your hands do very carefully. In Arab countries (阿拉伯国家), it is impolite when you eat with your left hand, so don’t do it! In all the cultures it is impolite to speak when you are eating. In Ukraine (乌克兰) you should not start eating first. And you should wait for all the others to start eating with you. You also have to say “Please” and “Thank you” every time you ask for and get something. If you don’t like a dish, don’t make faces and don’t say “Yuk! I hate that!” The best way to avoid making mistakes in other countries is to watch the host (主人) and try to do as he does. 1． Is it polite to lift your soup plate to your mouth in Britain? _________________________________________________ 2． In which country can you lift your bowl to your mouth? _________________________________________________ 3． Which hand can’t you use when eating in Arab countries? _________________________________________________ 4． What is impolite in all the cultures? _________________________________________________ 5．What’s the best way to avoid making mistakes in other countries? _________________________________________________ Passage 3 “May we all blessed with longevity. Though miles apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together (但愿人长久，千里共婵娟)”, wrote Su Shi, a poet during the Song Dynasty, in his well-known poem to his younger brother Su Zhe. The moon is at its brightest on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar (阴历). On this day, people celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival. It has been enjoying great popularity all over the country. In ancient China, that day was a harvest (收获) festival because crops (庄稼) were harvested during that period. It was a time for relaxation and celebration. Just like Thanksgiving in Western countries, families also try to get together for the Mid-Autumn Festival in China. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy they are, people will try to return home for the celebration. The Mid-Autumn has its own special food just as other traditional Chinese holidays. People eat moon cakes with fillings such as sugar and eggs. The round shape of the cake makes it look like the full moon. The full moon and moon cakes stand for family reunion (团聚). With the beautiful moon up in the sky, people sit together, enjoy the full moon, eat moon cakes and fruits, share the stories, and express the best wishes for the family members and friends who live far away. 1．Who did Su Shi write the poem to in Paragraph One? 2．Why was the Mid-Autumn Festival a harvest festival in ancient China? 3．Do Thanksgiving and the Mid-Autumn Festival have anything in common? 4．What other traditional Chinese festivals do you like? List one of them and tell the reason. (Write 30 words or more) Passage 4 Different countries have different customs. When you are in different countries, you should follow their customs. Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip (给小费). It is usual to tip waiters, taxi drivers and porters who help carry your bags. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount (数量). In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It’s important to respect lines there. It’s a good idea to talk about the weather. It’s the favorite subject of conversation with the British. In Spain, it’s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until after 9: 00 p. m. In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don’t put it into your pocket as soon as you get it. Don’t forget to be careful of your body language to express something in conversations. A kind of body language that is friendly in one culture may be impolite in another. 1． How much should you tip the waiter in the US if your meal is 100 dollars? ______________________________________________________________ 2． What is the favorite subject of conversation in Britain? _______________________________________________________________ 3． In which country do people have dinner almost after 9 p.m.? ______________________________________________________________ 4． What are you supposed to do if someone gives you a personal card in Japan? _______________________________________________________________ 5．Does body language mean the same in all countries? _______________________________________________________________ Passage 5 Across the world, there are lots of different countries in which chopsticks are used. Eating with chopsticks is part of the culture of many people living in Asian countries. China It’s okay to lift a bowl close to your mouth and push food into your mouth with chopsticks. Don’t set your chopsticks down pointed at another person at the table. Don’t stick your chopsticks standing up straight in your rice bowl. It means the rice is served for those who have passed away. Japan At the table setting, it’s okay to lift a bowl close to your mouth and push food into your mouth with chopsticks. Don’t set your chopsticks down crossed. It’s the symbol of death. Korea Either spoons or chopsticks may be used for eating rice. Don’t lift a bowl close to your mouth. Lift food to your mouth from the dish on the table. At the table setting, chopsticks are placed to the right of the spoon. Placed on the left is done at the ceremony when someone has died. Thailand They generally stopped using chopsticks a hundred years ago. 1．In Japan, is it okay to set your chopsticks down crossed at the table? 2．What may you use for eating rice when you are in Korea? 3．In which country did people stop using chopsticks a hundred years ago? 4．When were the chopsticks placed on the left of the spoon in Korea? 5．According to the passage, where do you think the chopsticks are used in the world?（In 40 words） 话题5 沟通 Passage 1 I hit a stranger as he walked by me. “Oh, excuse me,” I said. He replied with a smile and said, “Please excuse me, too. I wasn't watching out for you.” We said sorry to each other and went our own ways. Later that day, when I was cooking, my daughter was standing too close to me. When I turned to reach for some milk, I nearly knocked her over. “Move out of the way!” I shouted. She walked away sadly. While I was in bed that evening, my husband said to me, “While dealing with a stranger, you were polite, but with the daughter you love, you were unkind. Your daughter brought you some flowers that she picked herself this afternoon. You'll find them in the kitchen by the door.” I quietly went to my daughter's bed. “Dear, I'm so sorry,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She said, “I found them by the tree. I picked them because they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like them.” I replied, “I'm really sorry for the way I acted today. I shouldn't have shouted at you.” “It's okay. I love you anyway,” she said as she kissed me. It's important and necessary for us to be kind to our loved ones. People can live in a happy family if they do like this. 1．What was the writer doing when her daughter stood too close to her that day?（不超过5个词） 2．What did the writer's daughter bring her that day? （不超过5个词） 3．What can we learn from this passage? （不超过15个词） Passage 2 Sometimes I wonder if there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to make money for my schooling. One day, my mother was sewing (缝) a quilt. I sat silently beside her. “Mom, is there love between you and Dad?” I asked in a very low voice. With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. Then she said, “Susan, look at this thread (线). It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside.” I couldn’t understand it until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly became seriously ill. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly along the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple. After two months, my father still couldn’t walk by himself. “Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day. “Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said. “I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I knew he loved my mother deeply. Now I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm. 1．What are Susan’s parents busy doing every day? 2．How long did Susan’s father stay in the hospital? 3．Where did Susan’s parents walk after they were back from the hospital? 4．How did the father feel about his life after he was ill? 5．What can we learn about love from the passage? Passage 3 13-year-old Alessandra talks about her favorite chat room (聊天室), Teen-Age. I joined a chat room called Teen-Age last month. A classmate read about it in a magazine and told me all about it. She said it’s a really great way to make friends with people in other countries. And she was right! Everyone in the chat room is a teenager. We share information about home life, music and films. Friends that I chat to often ask me about school life in Britain. One friend in Spain sometimes asks me to write the words of English songs for her. My favorite thing is finding out how to prepare food people eat in different countries. Some of my friends in Teen-Age live on the other side of the world, so when I chat to them at lunchtime, it’s nearly midnight where they are. My parents like it that I have international friends, but they get annoyed if I’m chatting to people all evening. They always ask me to finish my homework first. Many of my school friends have joined several chat rooms, but I won’t ever do that. I like the online friends I have now, so I’ll keep using Teen-Age. If I have friends in different chat rooms, it’ll be too hard to chat to them all. 1．Who told Alessandra something about Teen-Age? 2．What does Alessandra like doing best in Teen-Age? 3．What will Alessandra do in the future? 4．Do you like chatting online? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more. Passage 4 When you’re a teenager, it seems that every time you say “I want to …”, someone answers “No, you can’t”. Also, no part of your life is safe from the prying (窥视的) eyes of your parents. A 15-year-old girl, Debbie says, “My dad always wants to know where I am, and what time I’m going to be home.” Most parents do that. Do they have to know everything? They should give us more freedom. Young people further complain that their parents do not respect them. When something goes wrong, more parents just don't believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents allow their kids to choose for themselves. Yes, it is true that your parents sometimes treat you like a little child. But remember that not too long ago you were really a child. Your parents still remember those childish mistakes that you used to make. They want to protect you though you do not want them to do so. So, if you want to get more freedom, please try to understand your parents and do not lie to them. Try a more friendly way. If you want them to allow you to stay out late, don't just say, “All the other kids can stay out late.” Tell them as much as you can about what you want to do and where you'll be and why it's important for you to stay out late. Then they might just say “yes”. 1．Who always wants to know where Debbie is? 2．What do young people want to get from their parents? 3．What do young people further complain according to the passage? 4．If your parents don’t allow you to play with your friends outside on weekend, what should you do? Write 30 words or more. Passage 5 If someone sitting beside you checks his mobile phone from time to time, do you want to check your mobile phone, too? People may pull out their phones to check their text messages or emails if they’re with someone who has just done the same. It is also found that women are more likely (可能) to use their mobile phones than men because the mobile phones are more integrated into (融入) the daily lives of women. The researchers watched students in dining halls and coffee shops around school yards, watching the students sitting at tables for as long as twenty minutes. What they found most interesting was just how often students were using their mobile phones. Every person they watched used his or her phone at least once in twenty minutes. And one girl used her mobile phone just five seconds later after she saw others using mobile phones. Most people may check their own phones after seeing others checking phones. 1．Why are women more likely to use their mobile phones than men? 2．What may people do when they see others use their mobile phones according to the passage? 3．Where did the researchers watch students use their mobile phones? 4．What were the researchers most interested in? 5．What is the passage mainly about? 话题6 未来 Passage 1 A new job which tests whether a watermelon is ripe (成熟的) has become more and more popular. Watermelon testers are able to choose a ripe watermelon by knocking on the fruit. As a lot of fruit sales have moved to online platforms (平台), there is a great need for watermelon testers. Their task is to do knock tests for e-buyers. They need to make sure the watermelons chosen for the online sale are uniform (统一的) in size and quality. According to Meituan, watermelon sales reach the highest in July and August. During that time, more than 100,000 watermelons are delivered through the platform each day. Lee, 32, is very busy in the summer months. He works for a company set up by a group of watermelon farmers in Beijing. “August is a hot season for watermelon sales, and I check more than 10,000 watermelons each day,” he said.

I have rented (租) a room and shared it with another exchange student. My roommate is a Canadian girl named Sofia and she’s really friendly. Last Sunday, she showed me around the city. We two girls walked along the Thames and visited one museum after another. At lunchtime, Sofia suggested fish and chips, and I found it delicious. We had a really good time together. Sofia knows the city well because this is her fifth time visiting London. She expects to visit China someday. Beijing, the capital of China, is on the top of her list. She dreams about visiting the places of interest in Beijing, from the Palace Museum to the Great Wall. What attracts (吸引) her most is Chinese food, especially Beijing duck. How are you recently? You mentioned that your cousin was ill last week. I hope she will get well soon. Best wishes!

Passage 3 The customs and traditions are different in different countries. So is Father’s Day. The dates and ways of the celebrations of Father’s Day are not the same everywhere. Father’s Day is celebrated to thank fathers and express gratitude（感激） for their love. In Canada, it is celebrated on the third Sunday in June. People wear roses to express thanks and love to their fathers. This is also a time for a family reunion, because children often stay away from their family and this is a good time for them to get together with their fathers and other loved ones. But in Australia, it is celebrated on the first Sunday in September. The day is celebrated only in families. It’s a good way to celebrate Father's Day by having a big family dinner. In Thailand, Father’s Day falls on December 5th every year. All the people have a one-day holiday. You can see many people are in yellow and the streets are decorated in yellow because Father's Day is also the King's birthday. Some clubs, schools and cultural societies in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and South Africa organize Father’s Day parties to provide people a chance to celebrate the day to show the importance of the father’s role in the family and the society. 1．Why do people celebrate Father’s Day? 2．When do people in Australia celebrate Father’s Day? 3．Why are the streets decorated in yellow in Thailand on Father’s Day? 4．What do you think of the father’s role? 5．将短文中画线句子翻译成中文。 Passage 4 Keeping Viking legacy The Jorvik Viking festival is a time to dress up and travel back to the Viking age 北欧海盗节：穿上战甲，穿越到维京时代 In February, I went to York in the UK. Or as the Vikings called it, Jorvik. I was in for a surprise, not knowing that the Jorvik Viking Festival, Europe’s largest Viking festival, was on. It has been held yearly in February since 1985. In the city center were people with swords (剑), axes (斧头) and helmets, dressed as Vikings. Some played old instruments and hundreds walked through the city. You could buy Viking tools, weapons and mead, an old Viking wine made from honey, during the festival. The Jorvik festival is a celebration of the UK’s cultural heritage (文化遗产). The Vikings took over York in the late 800s and ruled there for almost a century. This was in the Viking Age, from 800 to 1150. About 200,000 Vikings from Norway, Sweden and Denmark went in boats to live in different parts of the world, including England. This wasn’t peaceful. The Vikings were warriors (战士). They believed death in fighting would send them to Valhalla, the resting place for warriors. So they brought with them war. Today, there is a great interest in the UK with Viking history. As well as the Jorvik festival, people do Viking weddings (婚礼). The couple may bind (捆绑) their hands together, drink from animal horns (角制品) and even jump over a sword and get blessings from the Viking gods, with guests encouraged to dress as Vikings. Some people name their children after Viking legends (传说). My nephew is named Heimdall, after the watchman of the gods in Norse mythology. The Viking legacy continues to interest people all over the country. By David HousE, 21st Century Teens Answer the questions: 1．When is the Jorvik Viking festival held every year? 2．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? 3．What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 3? (In 10 words)   4．What is Valhalla? 5．What does the last paragraph reflect? (In 10 words) Passage 5 LILI TIME is one of the many cafes in Shanghai, but it is a little different. Some customers (顾客) say they do not go there to drink coffee. Instead, they want to enjoy the “special” service. In 2013, when Zhang Lili was working in her first cafe, a customer gave her a note. It read:“I’m deaf but I really love coffee. Would you give me the chance to learn how to make it?” This person became the first deaf barista (咖啡师) in that cafe. And there started Zhang’s story with the deaf community. In 2019, Zhang and her husband started LILI TIME. Over the past few years, it has become a place filled with love. More and more deaf people have gotten to know about it and the word has spread. In LILI TIME, people need to order their coffee by talking to its baristas, even though they speak slowly and sometimes not clearly enough. Zhang wants real communication in her cafe. Now, Zhang is thinking about opening more cafes. She has come to know a lot about children who have other problems. And she thinks that her new cafes may help these children in one way or another. 1．When did Zhang Lili and her husband start the LILI TIME cafe? 2．Why do people have to order by talking with its baristas in LILI TIME? 3．What is Zhang Lili thinking about now? 4．What can you learn from Zhang Lili and her husband?

I dreamed of becoming an astronaut(宇航员)when I was young. Then I worked hard and trained for 10 years to fly planes and then to fly a spaceship. I felt so excited when I first wore my spacesuit at the age of 26. As an astronaut, the change of gravity(重力)was the most difficult part of the journey.

Recently libraries are not as popular as before because people prefer(更喜爱) to use the Internet to find out information, rather than books. With a click of a mouse, it is possible to find out almost anything that people care to know. But being in a room that is full of books is a fantastic thing. Just think about how many words there are in a library. Each of those words has been thought of and carefully chosen by tens of thousands of people. That must make it a special place to be. Maybe all kinds of things can happen in libraries. Sometimes, you see that a library is used for poetry(诗歌) workshops or guitar lessons. Also, there may be writers visiting and talking about their books. All of these activities are much better because they are in a library. Lots of schools have libraries.

Passage 2 Building Schools with Bottles By Tracy Vonder Brink Is your school made of bricks or concrete blocks? Many are. But some classrooms in Guatemala and EI Salvador were built a different way—with bottles full of trash! Hug It Forward—bottle schools use plastic bottles, trash, and lots of community helpers. Let’s see how they do it! First, kids and other helpers pick up trash. They’ll burn plastic bags and chip wrappers into eco-bricks. Each classroom takes about 3,500 eco-bricks to build. That’s around one ton of trash! To make eco-bricks, the kids stuff empty plastic bags and chip wrappers into cleaned plastic bottles. They need about 80 plastic bags or around 100 chip wrappers to fill one bottle all the way to the top. Helpers from the community build frames for the classroom walls. They add chicken wire to hold the eco-bricks. The eco-bricks are tied in rows between the layers of chicken wire. Any gaps are filled with more plastic bags. Rows and rows of eco-bricks make up the walls. They are just as strong and last as long as other kinds of walls. 1．How are the classrooms in Guatemala and EI Salvador built differently? 2．What are the materials used to build the bottle schools? 3．How many eco-bricks are needed to build one classroom? 4．How are the eco-bricks made? 5．Are the walls made of eco-bricks as strong as other kinds of walls? 【答案】1．The classrooms in Guatemala and EI Salvador are built with bottles full of trash instead of bricks or concrete blocks. 2．The bottle schools use plastic bottles, trash, and community helpers. 3．About 3,500 eco-bricks are needed to build one classroom. 4．The eco-bricks are made by stuffing empty plastic bags and chip wrappers into cleaned plastic bottles. 5．Yes, the walls made of eco-bricks are just as strong and last as long as other kinds of walls. 【导语】本文主要讲的是危地马拉和萨尔瓦多的学校是用装满垃圾的瓶子烧成生态砖建造的。 1．根据第一段中“Is your school made of bricks or concrete blocks?

Passage 3 One day on the street, Mr. Wilson met a young man, who asked him, “Do you remember me?” Mr. Wilson said, “No.” Then the young man told him he was his student and now he was a teacher as well. Mr. Wilson asked the young man at what time he decided to be a teacher. The young man then told him the following story: When I was a little boy, I used to be very quiet. At that time my parents were busy with their work. I had to live with my grandparents. It seemed that nobody cared much about me. One day, a friend of mine, Martin, came in with a nice new watch. It was shiny brightly in the Sun and I knew I wanted it. I took it out of Martin’s pocket. Shortly later, Martin noticed that his watch was missing and immediately told you about it. You told the class that whoever took it, he should return it. I didn’t give it back. You closed the door and told us all to stand up and form a circle. You were going to search our pockets. However, you asked us to close our eyes because you would only look for his watch if we all had our eyes closed. You searched my pocket and found the watch there. You kept searching everyone’s pockets and when you were done, you said, “We have the watch.” You never said who took the watch to save my dignity (尊严) forever. But it was the greatest shame of my life. You never said anything. You never shouted at me or took me aside to give me a lesson.

Passage 2 Table manners are very different in every country. For example, when you are in England, you must not lift your soup plate to your mouth. This is very impolite. But when you are in Japan, this is completely normal. Lifting your plate to your mouth in Japan is a traditional way of having your soup. And also in Japan you don’t have to worry about making a noise when you have it. It just shows that you really like the food! But it is not the same in Britain, so you shouldn’t make a noise when having food there. In Britain, people don’t put their hands or arms on the table during the meal. But in Mexico, guests keep their hands on the table all the time. In fact, you should watch what your hands do very carefully. In Arab countries (阿拉伯国家), it is impolite when you eat with your left hand, so don’t do it! In all the cultures it is impolite to speak when you are eating. In Ukraine (乌克兰) you should not start eating first. And you should wait for all the others to start eating with you. You also have to say “Please” and “Thank you” every time you ask for and get something. If you don’t like a dish, don’t make faces and don’t say “Yuk! I hate that!” The best way to avoid making mistakes in other countries is to watch the host (主人) and try to do as he does. 1． Is it polite to lift your soup plate to your mouth in Britain? _________________________________________________ 2． In which country can you lift your bowl to your mouth? _________________________________________________ 3． Which hand can’t you use when eating in Arab countries? _________________________________________________ 4． What is impolite in all the cultures? _________________________________________________ 5．What’s the best way to avoid making mistakes in other countries? _________________________________________________ 【答案】1．No./ No, it isn’t. 2．Japan. 3．The left hand. 4．It is impolite to speak when you are eating./Speaking when you are eating. 5．To watch the host and try to do as he does./The best way to avoid making mistakes in other countries is to watch the host and try to do as he does./Watching the host and trying to do as he does. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了不同国家的餐桌礼仪文化的不同。 1．根据第一段“For example, when you are in England, you must not lift your soup plate to your mouth. This is very impolite.”可知，在英国举起汤碟送到嘴里不礼貌，故填No./ No, it isn’t. 2．根据第一段“But when you are in Japan, this is completely normal. Lifting your plate to your mouth in Japan is a traditional way of having your soup..”可知，在日本举起汤碟送到嘴里是完全可以的。所以日本可以举起汤碟送到嘴里。故填Japan。 3．根据“In Arab countries( 阿拉伯国家 ), it is impolite when you eat with your left hand, so don’t do it!”可知，在阿拉伯国家，当你用左手吃饭时很不礼貌，所以在阿拉伯国家不能用左手吃饭。故填The left hand. 4．根据第二段最后一句“In all the cultures it is impolite to speak when you are eating.”可知，在所有国家，吃饭时讲话都是不礼貌的。故填It is impolite to speak when you are eating./Speaking when you are eating. 5．根据“The best way to avoid making mistakes in other countries is to watch the host( 主人 ) and try to do as he does.”可知，在其他国家避免犯错误的最好方法是观察主人，并尽量照他做的去做。故填To watch the host and try to do as he does./The best way to avoid making mistakes in other countries is to watch the host and try to do as he does./Watching the host and trying to do as he does. Passage 3 “May we all blessed with longevity. Though miles apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together (但愿人长久，千里共婵娟)”, wrote Su Shi, a poet during the Song Dynasty, in his well-known poem to his younger brother Su Zhe. The moon is at its brightest on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar (阴历). On this day, people celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival. It has been enjoying great popularity all over the country. In ancient China, that day was a harvest (收获) festival because crops (庄稼) were harvested during that period. It was a time for relaxation and celebration. Just like Thanksgiving in Western countries, families also try to get together for the Mid-Autumn Festival in China. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy they are, people will try to return home for the celebration. The Mid-Autumn has its own special food just as other traditional Chinese holidays. People eat moon cakes with fillings such as sugar and eggs. The round shape of the cake makes it look like the full moon. The full moon and moon cakes stand for family reunion (团聚). With the beautiful moon up in the sky, people sit together, enjoy the full moon, eat moon cakes and fruits, share the stories, and express the best wishes for the family members and friends who live far away. 1．Who did Su Shi write the poem to in Paragraph One? 2．Why was the Mid-Autumn Festival a harvest festival in ancient China? 3．Do Thanksgiving and the Mid-Autumn Festival have anything in common? 4．What other traditional Chinese festivals do you like?

It tastes delicious. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍中国的传统节日——中秋节。 1．根据第一段中的“‘May we all blessed with longevity.

Because it is the most important traditional festival in China and is a time for family reunions. On Chinese New Year’s Eve, we have a big family dinner. We usually eat some traditional Chinese food.

Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip (给小费). It is usual to tip waiters, taxi drivers and porters who help carry your bags. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount (数量). In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It’s important to respect lines there. It’s a good idea to talk about the weather. It’s the favorite subject of conversation with the British. In Spain, it’s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until after 9: 00 p. m. In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don’t put it into your pocket as soon as you get it. Don’t forget to be careful of your body language to express something in conversations. A kind of body language that is friendly in one culture may be impolite in another. 1． How much should you tip the waiter in the US if your meal is 100 dollars? ______________________________________________________________ 2． What is the favorite subject of conversation in Britain? _______________________________________________________________ 3． In which country do people have dinner almost after 9 p.m.? ______________________________________________________________ 4． What are you supposed to do if someone gives you a personal card in Japan? _______________________________________________________________ 5．Does body language mean the same in all countries? _______________________________________________________________ 【答案】1．15 dollars. 2．The weather. 3．Spain. 4．Don’t put it into your pocket as soon as you get it. 5．No, it doesn’t. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以美国、英国、西班牙和日本为例，讲述了不同国家有不同的风俗。 1．根据“Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal.”可知，服务员应该得到的小费等于用餐费用的15%，所以，如果在美国用餐时，餐费100美元，则应给服务员15美元的小费。故填15 dollars。 2．根据“It’s a good idea to talk about the weather. It’s the favorite subject of conversation with the British.”可知，在英国，最受喜欢的谈话主题是天气。故填The weather。 3．根据“In Spain, it’s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until after 9: 00 p. m.”可知，在西班牙，人们吃晚餐几乎是在9点之后。故填Spain。 4．根据“When a person gives you a card, don’t put it into your pocket as soon as you get it.”可知，在日本，如果某人给你一张名片，你不应该一得到就放进你的口袋。故填Don’t put it into your pocket as soon as you get it. 5．根据“A kind of body language that is friendly in one culture may be impolite in another.”可知，一种在一个国家友好的肢体语言可能在另一个国家是不礼貌的，由此可知，肢体语言并不是在所有国家都是一样的。故填No, it doesn’t.

Also, no part of your life is safe from the prying (窥视的) eyes of your parents. A 15-year-old girl, Debbie says, “My dad always wants to know where I am, and what time I’m going to be home.” Most parents do that. Do they have to know everything? They should give us more freedom. Young people further complain that their parents do not respect them. When something goes wrong, more parents just don't believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents allow their kids to choose for themselves. Yes, it is true that your parents sometimes treat you like a little child. But remember that not too long ago you were really a child. Your parents still remember those childish mistakes that you used to make. They want to protect you though you do not want them to do so. So, if you want to get more freedom, please try to understand your parents and do not lie to them. Try a more friendly way. If you want them to allow you to stay out late, don't just say, “All the other kids can stay out late.” Tell them as much as you can about what you want to do and where you'll be and why it's important for you to stay out late. Then they might just say “yes”. 1．Who always wants to know where Debbie is? 2．What do young people want to get from their parents? 3．What do young people further complain according to the passage? 4．If your parents don’t allow you to play with your friends outside on weekend, what should you do?

The dates and ways of the celebrations of Father’s Day are not the same everywhere. Father’s Day is celebrated to thank fathers and express gratitude（感激） for their love. In Canada, it is celebrated on the third Sunday in June. People wear roses to express thanks and love to their fathers. This is also a time for a family reunion, because children often stay away from their family and this is a good time for them to get together with their fathers and other loved ones. But in Australia, it is celebrated on the first Sunday in September. The day is celebrated only in families. It’s a good way to celebrate Father's Day by having a big family dinner. In Thailand, Father’s Day falls on December 5th every year. All the people have a one-day holiday. You can see many people are in yellow and the streets are decorated in yellow because Father's Day is also the King's birthday.

Or as the Vikings called it, Jorvik. I was in for a surprise, not knowing that the Jorvik Viking Festival, Europe’s largest Viking festival, was on. It has been held yearly in February since 1985. In the city center were people with swords (剑), axes (斧头) and helmets, dressed as Vikings. Some played old instruments and hundreds walked through the city. You could buy Viking tools, weapons and mead, an old Viking wine made from honey, during the festival. The Jorvik festival is a celebration of the UK’s cultural heritage (文化遗产). The Vikings took over York in the late 800s and ruled there for almost a century. This was in the Viking Age, from 800 to 1150. About 200,000 Vikings from Norway, Sweden and Denmark went in boats to live in different parts of the world, including England. This wasn’t peaceful. The Vikings were warriors (战士). They believed death in fighting would send them to Valhalla, the resting place for warriors. So they brought with them war. Today, there is a great interest in the UK with Viking history. As well as the Jorvik festival, people do Viking weddings (婚礼). The couple may bind (捆绑) their hands together, drink from animal horns (角制品) and even jump over a sword and get blessings from the Viking gods, with guests encouraged to dress as Vikings. Some people name their children after Viking legends (传说). My nephew is named Heimdall, after the watchman of the gods in Norse mythology.
