They’re sending a man here to decide how much money to pay me for the stolen diamonds.” “Tell me what happened.” said the policeman. “I went to the store alone.” Mr. Best began, “As soon as I opened the door, two men rushed in. The blond one had a gun. He looked at me angrily and told me to open the safe. I was scared, so I gave him my diamonds. Then they tied me to a chair. After they left, I tried hard to free myself from the ropes and called you.” “What did the two men look like?” “One of them was thin and the other was fat. They wore masks over their whole heads with only little holes for their eyes and mouths.” Just then the insurance man arrived. “Don’t worry.” the policeman said to him, “You don’t have to pay Mr. Best anything. He is lying about the robbers. He took the diamonds himself.” 1．According to Mr. Best, he might be about to ________ when the robbers came in. A．start his business B．have dinner C．clean the diamonds D．call the policeman 2．Picture ________ is a “safe”. A． B． C． D． 3．The policeman believed Mr. Best lied because he made a mistake about the robbers’ ________. A．height B．build C．hair D．voice 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了一位商店老板向警察报告钻石被抢劫的过程。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“As soon as I opened the door, two men rushed in.”可知，Best是商店的老板，他一打开门，两个人就冲进来了，因此可推测Best先生当时正准备开门营业。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段“He looked at me angrily and told me to open the safe. I was scared, so I gave him my diamonds.”可知，抢劫犯让Best先生把钻石交给他们，因此可以猜测抢劫犯让Best先生打开的是保险箱；据此可以推测，“safe”意为“保险箱”，选项B图符合题意。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“They wore masks over their whole heads with only little holes for their eyes and mouths.”以及“The blond one had a gun.”可知，抢劫犯戴着面罩，Best先生不可能知道他们头发的颜色。因此警察认为Best先生在说谎。故选C。 ①It’s 5:30 a.m., and your phone rings. A policeman says someone broke into a store and took something expensive. They need you right away because witnesses (目击者) may be dishonest while the clues (线索) at the scene (现场) will always tell the truth. It is your job to study the whole scene for clues that will help catch the thief. You are a crime (犯罪) scene officer, and the game is on. ②Outside the store, you see a broken window, but there is no glass on the street. There are shoe-prints (鞋印), and marks left by the car tires (轮胎) which are seen as two direct clues around you. ③First, you look at the shoe-prints. They’re large, so you’re likely to look for a man. You take pictures of the shoe’s pattern. This can tell you the type of the shoes. You then check the space between the shoe-prints. You now know how long the person’s steps were. This gives you an idea of the height of the thief. ④Then, as you follow the shoe-prints over to the tire marks, the spaces between the steps get bigger. They lead to the passenger’s side of the car. Now you know the thief probably didn’t work alone. Again, you take pictures of the tire marks. They can help you find out the type of the car and the direction it went. ⑤The most important clues will come from a person’s body. You find some fingerprints near the broken window. Using a computer, you can match them with millions of others. You also find a hair at the scene. You keep it, because you know hair will show a person’s DNA．You can compare this with other people’s DNA．If you can match the hair with the fingerprint or the DNA, you will know who was in the store. ⑥Will you find the thief? You now have a lot of information, so it’s possible. For a crime scene officer, it’s all in a day’s work. 1．________ made a call at 5:30 a. m.. A．A policeman B．A passenger C．A thief D．A crime scene officer 2．According to paragraph 3, the crime scene officer CAN find information about ________. ①height  ②build  ③man/woman  ④appearance  ⑤personality A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③⑤ 3．The correct order to find the thief is that ________. A． B． C． D． 4．The structure of the passage is ________. A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文讲述了犯罪现场调查人员通过鞋印、轮胎痕迹、指纹和头发等线索调查盗窃案的过程。 1．细节理解题。根据第①段“It’s 5:30 a. m., and your phone rings. A policeman says someone broke into a store and took something expensive.”可知，是警察在早上5:30打来的电话。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第③段“They’re large, so you’re likely to look for a man...This gives you an idea of the height of the thief.”可知，能得到关于性别（男女）和身高的信息，即①③。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章调查顺序：先观察鞋印（推测出对应人物图标），再追踪轮胎痕迹（推测出车辆行驶方向图标），接着发现指纹，然后收集头发，检测DNA，最终锁定嫌疑人。对应选项B的图标顺序。故选B。 4．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第①②⑤描述了犯罪现场调查员破案的流程；第③④段是对第②段内容的说明，详细告诉我们如何根据已有线索进行分析；第⑥段总结全文。对应选项A的结构。故选A。 二、U7单元话题热点预测 The word opera comes from the Latin word opus, meaning “work”. It is a type of musical show that brings together music, singing, dance, acting, set design (布景设计), costumes, make-up, and even hairdressing. As such, it’s a team effort. Besides, opera also needs an audience to watch the show. Because of this, opera has always mirrored the society of its time. Opera has been around for over 400 years and its origins can be traced back to Florence, Italy, in the late 16th century. Italy’s strong economy during the Renaissance (文艺复兴) provided a lot of money and support for artistic creation. It is said that the first opera in history was Dafne, created by Jacopo Peri and performed in 1597. Since then, opera has grown and changed with different music styles. In the late 1700s, opera entered the Classical Period (古典时期). Composers turned their attention to praising the beauty in real life, and the music returned to the true emotional expression. The 1800s were the age of Romanticism (浪漫主义). During this period, opera showed themes like love, freedom, and justice. By the 1900s, opera, like other arts, entered the modern period. New ways of composing appeared, and opera reached a wider audience through radio and television. With the rapid development of technology, opera is trying to use it to create richer and different kinds of artistic experiences. It opens up exciting new possibilities for both artists and audiences. 1．What is the first opera in history? A．Florence. B．Dafne. C．Opus. D．Jacopo Peri. 2．Operas from which time most likely focused on love and freedom? A．1597. B．1790. C．1850. D．1950. 3．Which sentence uses “origin” in the same way as in the passage? origin /ɒrɪdʒɪn/ ①起源，源头 ②起点，原点 ③出身 A．The origin of basketball was in the United States in 1891. B．The railway line has Beijing as its origin and Guangzhou as its terminus. C．You have to put the book you borrowed at the origin. D．He was a man of noble origin, but chose to live a simple life. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．More Than a Show B．Opera: From the Past to the Future C．Art on the Stage D．Journey of Italian Opera 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了歌剧的定义、起源，以及从16世纪至今的发展历程，还提及了技术发展为歌剧带来的新可能。 1．细节理解题。根据“It is said that the first opera in history was Dafne, created by Jacopo Peri and performed in 1597.” 可知，历史上第一部歌剧是《Dafne》。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“The 1800s were the age of Romanticism (浪漫主义). During this period, opera showed themes like love, freedom, and justice.”可知，12世纪的歌剧聚焦爱与自由等主题，选项C属于这一时期。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Opera has been around for over 400 years and its origins can be traced back to Florence, Italy, in the late 16th century.”可知，歌剧已经存在了400多年，它的起源可以追溯到16世纪末的意大利佛罗伦萨， “origins”的含义是“起源，源头”，选项A中“The origin of basketball was in the United States in 1891.”里的“origin”指起源。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了歌剧的定义、起源，以及从16世纪至今的发展历程，还提及了技术发展为歌剧带来的新可能，B项符合。故选B。 You are sitting in the cinema with popcorn in mouth when a scene flashes on the screen—the moment when the hero fights against the villain (反派)—and you doubt whether success is possible. Then, the hero wins and you realize you’ve been holding your breath all the time. Superhero movies come out every year. Avengers: Endgame was so popular that tickets for the first week were sold out quickly. Why do we never get tired of watching these movies? Superhuman abilities, alien worlds, and strange situations are features of our favorite superhero (超级英雄) movies. Yet these characteristics are absent from our real life. The great difference between these movies and our daily life allows us to separate one from the other. When our real life becomes too hard for us to face, we can get away into the world of superheroes. Superheroes are those who have superpowers and are brave enough to sacrifice (牺牲) themselves. This kind of courage is often translated on screen as superheroes using their abilities to protect humans. This is another reason why we love them. We are born to be attracted to people who protect the weaker ones. In recent movies, superheroes with amazing abilities also experience very human moments like losing loved ones. As a result, we see part of ourselves in these characters and they help us face challenges like them. The last reason why superhero movies are so popular today is money. These movies make a great deal of money. This win-win situation drives a lot of filmmakers to keep making films. Over the past few years, superheroes have turned from comic-book characters to movie stars. They have become such a common part of popular culture that it seems we can’t live without them. You might eat your popcorn while watching the breath-stealing scenes again soon. 1．In Paragraph 1, people hold their breath because they ________. A．have popcorn in mouth B．expect to see the villain C．worry the hero may fail D．feel excited to get a ticket 2．In Paragraph 2, we want to enter the world of superheroes when we ________. A．can protect the weaker ones B．cannot separate it from real life C．want to get away from real life D．find strange situations in real life 3．How many reasons are there for people to love superhero movies? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 4．What does the writer think of the future of superhero movies? A．People will get tired of the superhero movies soon. B．Filmmakers may not make money from the movies. C．Superhero movies will have to face new challenges. D．Superhero movies will still be popular for some time. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文分析了超级英雄电影经久不衰的原因，包括其与现实的反差、保护弱者的主题、角色的人性化以及商业成功等。 1．细节理解题。根据“you doubt whether success is possible...you realize you’ve been holding your breath all the time.”可知，观众屏住呼吸是因为担心英雄可能失败。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“When our real life becomes too hard for us to face, we can get away into the world of superheroes.”可知，当现实生活难以面对时，人们想逃入超级英雄的世界。故选C。 3．细节理解题。文章从第二段至第五段分别阐述了四个原因：①与现实反差大，提供逃避空间；②英雄保护弱者的勇气吸引人；③角色具有人性化的一面；④商业成功驱动持续制作。因此共四个原因。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“They have become such a common part of popular culture that it seems we can’t live without them...You might eat your popcorn while watching...again soon.”可推断，超级英雄电影仍将流行一段时间。故选D。 三、U6单元话题热点预测 There are many kinds of wonderful programmes on TV every day. Different people like different TV programmes. Of these, the news programme has always been my favourite. Almost every day, I turn on the TV at 6:30 p.m. and wait early for the news programme. This has almost become a part of my life. The news programme includes a large amount of latest information from the most serious international political affairs (政治事件) to the most enjoyable football games. The most important feature (特点) of the programme is its fast rhythm. Because of its fast rhythm, it can have so much information in such a short time. I like this programme because I think this programme is more than just a TV programme itself. In fact, it is a way of communication. I can learn a lot from this programme. From this programme, people can know about the affairs both at home and abroad in time. The world is developing fast, but if people watch this programme every day, they will feel that they are always in pace with the development of the world. I am sure I will still turn on the TV at a fixed time for the news programme every day. 1．What type of TV programme does the writer like best? A．Sports. B．Drama. C．News. D．Travel. 2．What is the most important feature of the programme? A．It has the latest news. B．It has a fast rhythm. C．It includes wonderful football games.

Some people say that TV is the cause of many social problems. TV watchers waste their time and get lazy. I know a lot of people who can’t seem to live without TV. As soon as they get home, they turn it on. Even if they have work to do, family to be with, or friends to see, they do it all while the TV is on. On the other hand, some people think TV shows are educational. And others see the TV as their best friend. So who is right? There are many benefits of watching television. By watching international news, you are kept informed (有见识的) and up-to-date with breaking news in the world. Some TV shows and channels (频道) show educational programs that can help you learn more about the world. Travel shows teach you about different people, cultures, ideas, and places you might never encounter (偶然碰到) in real life. Watching some shows might give you new ideas and new information that you might never come across in your own lives. What’s more, television can help you feel less lonely. It can be a kind of friend if you are alone. Or, it can be a social experience if you watch it with family or friends. Of course, many people say TV is a waste of time. According to them, watching television is not as good as doing other things like playing with friends, reading books, or learning new things. They also say watching too much TV is bad for your health. You may get fat. You may have trouble sleeping. You may have bad dreams, and your grades may go down. And when you watch a television show, you are not talking to your family or playing with your friends outside. Instead, you are sitting in a chair and staring at the television. It is no good. In conclusion, watching TV can do a lot of good to your life. But if you watch too much TV, you can become fat and lazy, and not do any work. So, if this is you, maybe it’s time to stop watching television and start living instead. You may want to spend less time watching television and more time with your family or friends outside in the fresh air. 1．How many benefits are mentioned in Paragraph 2? A．One. B．Two. C．Three.

By watching international news…Some TV shows and channels show educational programs…Travel shows teach you about different people…Watching some shows might give you new ideas and new information…What’s more, television can help you feel less lonely.”可知，第二段提到了看电视的四个好处：了解国际新闻、学习教育知识、了解不同文化和人群、缓解孤独感。故选D。 2．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Of course, many people say TV is a waste of time…They also say watching too much TV is bad for your health…And when you watch a television show, you are not talking to your family or playing with your friends outside.”可知，第三段主要讲述了看电视的缺点，如浪费时间、影响健康、减少与家人朋友的交流等。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Of course, many people say TV is a waste of time. According to them, watching television is not as good as doing other things…They also say watching too much TV is bad for your health.”可知，“They”指的是那些认为看电视浪费时间的人。故选C。 4．推理判断题。文章主要讨论了看电视对生活的影响，包括其利弊，这与生活和技术相关。因此，文章最可能出现在报纸的“生活与科技”部分。故选C。 5．篇章结构题。文章第一段提出看电视有利有弊的问题；第二段和第三段分别阐述了看电视的好处和坏处；第四段总结全文，提出应适度控制看电视的时间。故选B。 四、U5单元话题热点预测 When I was a little girl, my parents were busy working, so I was always staying with my grandmother. She was a fan of Qinqiang Opera and would often hum the opera while cooking dinner. The sound of her voice, rich and filled with feelings, attracted me a lot. I would follow her, standing on a small chair in the kitchen. My voice filled the rooms, even though I seldom understood the lyrics. One day, my grandmother noticed my interest and decided to teach me the basic singing skills. She showed me how to project my voice, how to move my hands and eyes to express feelings. At first, I had a hard time keeping up, but with her patience and encouragement, I performed well gradually. As I grew older, my grandmother introduced me to more skills about performing Qinqiang Opera, including facial expressions and costume designs. She also told me that the performer’s feelings built the character, so I learned to put them into my performances, making each character come alive on stage  (舞台). Years passed, and I became more confident in my abilities. I started performing at local events, where my grandmother would proudly watch. Her smile of support filled me with joy and energy. Today, Qinqiang Opera is not just a hobby for me but a lifelong journey of learning and growth. It has taught me the importance of hard work, the power of expression, and the beauty of cultural tradition. Every time I step onto the stage, I am reminded of my grandmother’s love and guidance, and I am thankful for the chance to carry on her legacy (遗产) through the art of Qinqiang Opera. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1．What does the underlined word “hum” probably mean?

The sound of her voice, rich and filled with feelings, attracted me a lot.” (她是秦腔戏迷，经常在做饭时哼唱戏曲。她嗓音饱满、充满感情，深深吸引了我) 可推知，“hum”指的是“轻声哼唱”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“At first, I had a hard time keeping up, but with her patience and encouragement, I performed well gradually.”可知，作者并非一开始就表演得很好。D项“She could perform well at the beginning”与原文不符。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章第3段“She also told me that the performer’s feelings built the character, so I learned to put them into my performances…” (她还告诉我，演员的感情塑造了角色，所以我学会将它们融入表演) 可推知，“them”指代前一句提到的“the performer’s feelings”。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I am thankful for the chance to carry on her legacy through the art of Qinqiang Opera.”可推知，作者很乐意传承秦腔艺术。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了祖母通过秦腔艺术对作者产生的深远影响，包括艺术启蒙、技能传授和人生指导，最终让作者成长为这一传统文化的传承者。B项“Grandmother’s influence on her through Qinqiang Opera”准确概括了文章核心。故选B。 Think about the last time you went to an art or history museum. Which pieces of artifacts (文物) stood out to you? Did you read the introduction next to them? Did it tell you where the artifacts were from and how the museums got them? Today, many museums around the world own art and artifacts that were stolen or looted (掠夺) from their original countries during war or colonial rule. You may see ancient Chinese paintings shown in the British Museum, or sculptures from Africa that date back to the 19th century on display in the Louvre Museum. Many countries have asked European museums to repatriate the artifacts. The debate over whether and how museums should give back artifacts to their original countries has been going on for many years. Those who suggest returning all foreign artifacts to their homes insist that it is morally (道义上) the right thing to do. Furthermore, the country owning the objects will receive an important part of their heritage back, and these artifacts will be given a chance to be truly valued in their homeland. Yet there are different voices. Those against the return point out that some foreign artifacts were not stolen but bought a long time ago. Also, it is sometimes hard to identify (确认) the true owners of certain artifacts—should they be returned to the country, a group or an individual? There is also a view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact “cultural ambassadors (大使)” that improve understanding. They believe that while taking them away from their countries of origin was wrong, history is full of “good” and “bad” actors. Moreover, they feel that keeping the cultural objects in the current museums has kept millions of artifacts safe from damage. On the matter of return, some governments have made the move. In 2018, French President Emmanuel Macron told officially that France would give back 26 looted treasures to the African state of Benin. “I cannot accept that a large part of cultural heritage from several African countries is in France,” said Macron. It’s said to be part of France’s long-promised plans to return artifacts taken from Africa during the colonial rule. Museums all across Europe began reconsidering their previous policies on colonial treasures. In France, twenty-seven artifacts had been identified for return, but only one has been returned. Then, on October 6, 2020, France’s National Assembly officially passed a bill (法案) promising the return of these heritage artifacts, but didn’t fix a certain date. It seems that there is still a long way to go for the return of foreign heritage treasures. 1．The underlined word “repatriate” in paragraph 2 probably means______. A．protect B．show C．return D．borrow 2．People who consider foreign artifacts as “cultural ambassadors” may agree that ______. A．mistakes in history need correcting in time B．heritage artifacts belong to all the human beings C．artifacts will be better protected in their homeland D．history museum tours will be popular in the future 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．French museums refused to identify all the colonial treasures. B．Policies and bills have no use in protecting foreign heritage treasures. C．The treasures stolen or looted can hardly be back to their homeland soon. D．Governments have the duty to keep foreign treasures in good protection. 4．By writing this passage, the writer wants to ______. A．explain how and why many foreign treasures were stolen or looted B．advise governments to take actions in returning foreign treasures C．encourage us to take part in the debate over stolen or looted treasures D．show different views and present situation on the return of treasures 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕许多博物馆中收藏的文物是否应归还给原籍国展开讨论，介绍了不同观点及当前文物归还的现状。 1．词句猜测题。根据第二段“Today, many museums around the world own art and artifacts that were stolen or looted (掠夺) from their original countries during war or colonial rule.”以及“Many countries have asked European museums to repatriate the artifacts.”可知，许多国家要求欧洲博物馆归还从原籍国偷走或掠夺的文物，所以“repatriate”意思是“归还”，与“return”意思相近。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“There is also a view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact ‘cultural ambassadors (大使)’ that improve understanding.”可知，认为外国文物是“文化大使”的人认为文化是共享的财富，文物属于全人类。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In France, twenty-seven artifacts had been identified for return, but only one has been returned. Then, on October 6, 2020, France’s National Assembly officially passed a bill (法案) promising the return of these heritage artifacts, but didn’t fix a certain date. It seems that there is still a long way to go for the return of foreign heritage treasures.”可知，法国虽然通过了归还文物的法案，但没有确定具体日期，说明被盗或掠夺的珍宝很难很快回到祖国。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据第三段“The debate over whether and how museums should give back artifacts to their original countries has been going on for many years.”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了关于文物归还的不同观点和当前文物归还的现状。故选D。 五、Units1-4单元话题热点预测 At the 2007 Asian Winter Games in Changchun, Jilin Province, 17-year-old Xu Mengtao won a silver medal in freestyle skiing women’s aerials (空中技巧). Eighteen years later, at the 2025 Games in Harbin, she turned that into gold and became China’s first snow sports grand slam (大满贯) winner.   “For a sportswoman who competes in aerials, it is tough to stay at the top of their game at this age,” Xu told China Daily.   Xu was born in 1990. She started freestyle skiing at 12. Her journey to the top wasn’t easy. At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, she finished sixth. But that only made her work harder. She won a silver medal at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.   In 2016, she hurt her knee badly. Doctors took out nearly 70 percent of the cartilage (半月板) in her left knee. “There were some moments when I thought about giving up,” Xu told CCTV News. “I already had a silver medal. Wasn’t that enough?” However, her love for skiing kept her going. After a difficult time of getting medical treatment, Xu returned to the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in South Korea but only finished in ninth place.   After many injuries and challenges, she completed the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics with steel pins (钢钉) in her body and won her Olympic gold.   Xu plans to keep competing as long as she can. 1．What does the underlined word “tough” mean? A．Good and wonderful. B．Strong and able. C．Difficult and challenging. D．Easy and lucky. 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A．The injury in 2016 made Xu lose her left knee.

Or you open social media platform for a quick scroll (滚动) through short videos… Well, you know how the story ends—You may spend hours on useless information. Then your brain becomes lazy and slow. There’s a word for it. That’s “brain rot” and it was chosen as Oxford’s Word of the Year for 2024. In fact, “brain rot” isn’t a new word. It first appeared in Henry David Thoreau’s book Walden more than a century ago. He thought that brain rot happened when people stopped being interested in learning new things or didn’t think deeply. From then on, “brain rot” was used. In 2024, the use of “brain rot” increased by 230%. It shows people’s worry about social media scrolling. Today, you easily spend too much time on the screen. You’re fed a large amount of unimportant and unchallenging (无挑战性的) information according to what you’ve visited online. As a result, you hardly do things to boost your brain abilities. Over time, you may have brain rot. Then, ________? Kids and teenagers’ brains are still growing. If they get too much screen time and have brain rot, they will have a lifetime of poorer thinking ability. “Kids are still learning how to focus, control their actions and manage their feelings,” says Leventhal, an expert in brain studies. “Brain rot might make it harder for them to learn these important skills.” To avoid brain rot, you can start by controlling your screen time and connecting with people offline. Choose to read useful information when you use social media. Also, try to develop hobbies, like playing table tennis and painting. There is a huge world out of your screen! Be the master of your own mind! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By describing pictures. D．By asking questions. 2．Where did the term “brain rot” first appear? A．In Oxford’s Word of the Year list. B．In a recent scientific report. C．In Henry David Thoreau’s book Walden. D．In a popular social media app. 3．What does the underlined phrase “boost your brain abilities” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Study your brain. B．Calm your brain down. C．Check your brain. D．Make your brain work better. 4．Which of the following can be put into ________ in Paragraph 4? A．who is influenced most by brain rot B．why are kids crazy about the screen C．how does brain rot happen in your daily life D．what should kids do to improve thinking abilities 5．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce the history of “brain rot”. B．To share an experience of having brain rot. C．To teach Oxford’s Word of the Year for 2024. D．To ask people to reduce meaningless screen time. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了“脑腐（brain rot）”这一被选为2024年牛津年度词汇的词汇，阐述了其起源、使用情况增加所反映的人们对社交媒体刷屏的担忧，以及对儿童和青少年的影响，最后给出了避免“脑腐”的建议，呼吁人们减少无意义的屏幕时间。 1．细节理解题。根据“You sit in front of the TV to ‘watch just one programme’. Or you open social media platform for a quick scroll (滚动) through short videos… Well, you know how the story ends—You may spend hours on useless information.”可知，作者通过列举坐在电视机前看节目、打开社交媒体刷短视频等例子来开启文章，所以作者是通过举例的方式开始这篇文章的。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“In fact, ‘brain rot’ isn’t a new word. It first appeared in Henry David Thoreau’s book Walden more than a century ago.”可知，“脑腐”这个词首次出现在亨利·戴维·梭罗的书《瓦尔登湖》中。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据“You’re fed a large amount of unimportant and unchallenging (无挑战性的) information according to what you’ve visited online. As a result, you hardly do things to boost your brain abilities. Over time, you may have brain rot.”可知，你根据在网上浏览的内容，会接触到大量不重要且无挑战性的信息，结果你几乎不会做提升大脑能力的事情，久而久之，你可能就会出现“脑腐”，所以“boost your brain abilities”意思是“让你的大脑更好地工作”。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“Kids and teenagers’ brains are still growing. If they get too much screen time and have brain rot, they will have a lifetime of poorer thinking ability.”可知，儿童和青少年的大脑仍在发育，如果他们屏幕时间过长且出现“脑腐”，他们将一生思维能力较差，由此可推测，第四段横线处应是询问谁受“脑腐”影响最大，A选项“谁受脑腐影响最大”符合语境。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。根据“To avoid brain rot, you can start by controlling your screen time and connecting with people offline. Choose to read useful information when you use social media. Also, try to develop hobbies, like playing table tennis and painting. There is a huge world out of your screen! Be the master of your own mind!”以及全文内容可知，文章主要目的是呼吁人们减少无意义的屏幕时间，避免“脑腐”。故选D。 Have you ever noticed that airplane seats are usually blue during your travel? Here’s why they’re often a dark shade of blue. ■Blue is calming. Color psychology (心理学) plays an important role in designing the cloth for airplane seats. “The idea is to give airplanes a more comfortable feeling, with relaxing colors and restful designs,” explained a designer in Boeing Company (波音公司). People connect certain colors with certain feelings. Blue is a calming color that suggests peace and relaxation. ■It physically feels cooler. It’s also on the cool end of the color wheel, and can physically make you feel cooler. In a study, 48 percent of people thought soda in a blue glass was more thirst-quenching (解渴的) than one served in glasses of other colors, probably because they connected blue with cold. Likewise, warm colors such as red and orange can make people feel warmer. Although it’s unheard that red is used for airplane seats, feeling hot when you board an airplane is good for no one. ■Blue feels professional. Airlines always choose blue in their seat design because it reflects a cool professionalism (专业性). Blue’s not too unusual and is one of the most common colors, showing a sense of stability (稳定). Another study found that people connected blue with ability. You’re putting your safety and life in the hands of the airline staff and the airplane itself. So ability is certainly important. ■ The right shade hides stains (污渍) well. Dark blue seats are also practical (实用的). Imagine how many people sit on them every day. And how many food pieces, drinks, and who-know-what-else get spilled on them? Darker shades are better at hiding stains and don’t show their wear (磨损) as easily. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A．Blue is an exciting color. B．Blue is a symbol of change. C．Different colors bring different feelings. D．Color psychology is not used in designing. 2．What do airlines hope to show by using blue in their seat design? A．They can provide a faster travel. B．They know a lot about psychology. C．They can make sure the safety of passengers. D．They are more creative than their competitors. 3．Why are blue seats more practical? A．Because blue seats cost less. B．Because blue cloth feels more comfortable. C．Because blue seats look clean and new for longer. D．Because blue cloth doesn’t let water through easily. 4．What’s the passage mainly about? A．Foods and safety. B．Common sense of life. C．Sports in everyday life. D．Humans and animals. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了飞机座位常用蓝色的原因。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“People connect certain colors with certain feelings.”可知人们会把特定的颜色和特定的感受联系起来。选项C“不同的颜色带来不同的感受”，符合语境。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“Blue...showing a sense of stability...people connected blue with ability. You’re putting your safety and life in the hands of the airline staff and the airplane itself. So ability is certainly important.”可知乘客将自身安全与生命托付给航空公司，航空公司使用能体现稳定感和能力的蓝色，可让乘客感受到安全有保障。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Darker shades are better at hiding stains and don’t show their wear as easily.”可知深色更善于隐藏污渍且不易显磨损。所以选项C“蓝色座椅看起来干净崭新且耐用”符合语境。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。本文围绕“飞机座椅使用蓝色的原因”展开，属于生活常识类内容。选项B“生活常识”相对贴合主题。故选B。 For young people who grow up in villages, a job in the city sounds good. But Ning Fenfang, 34, left the big city to be a farmer. In 2017, she left her job in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and went back to her hometown of Cili County in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province. At that time, much of the farmland there was deserted. Seeing this, Ning decided to be a farmer. She started with growing rice and oilseed rape (油菜) in 2020. She rented the land and hired villagers to work it. Ning now farms more than 66.7 hectares of land. More than 300 housewives have worked part-time on her land, each making more than 10,000 yuan per year. “It’s never easy,” said Ning. At first, many people didn’t understand her decision. Farming is often seen as an “unsuitable” job for both the post-90s generation and women in general. Also, she lacked enough farming knowledge. However, Ning loved farming. “When you’re tired, you can stop and rest and do what you want to do. Every day, you can embrace nature, which is the poetry and far afield (诗和远方) that many people hope for,” Ning told the People’s Courts News and Communication Agency. Ning has tried to turn farming into a “fashionable” job. Rather than depending on farmers, she advises mechanized (机械化) farming, which means using high-tech machines. She also plans to provide children living in cities with a chance to experience farming. Ning feels responsible for farmers. Recently she has suggested that the agricultural insurance (农业保险) plans should include greenhouses, as freezing rain hit her hometown and caused losses to farmers in the winter of 2023. 1．Why did Ning decide to become a farmer? A．To make money. B．To live a quiet life. C．To realize her dream. D．To make use of the deserted farmland. 2．How did people feel about Ning’s decision at first? A．Happy. B．Puzzled. C．Surprised. D．Worried. 3．What does the underlined word “lacked” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．学习 B．准备 C．缺少 D．掌握 4．What can we learn from Ning’s words in Paragraph 5? A．Farming brings her great pleasure. B．It's tiring to take up farming. C．She needs to take a rest. D．Many people hope to be farmers. 5．What is Ning like according to the last two paragraphs? A．Friendly and humorous. B．Creative and responsible. C．Strict and hard-working. D．Brave and careful. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了宁芬芳离开大城市，选择做农民，带领家乡的父老乡亲致富的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“At that time, much of the farmland there was deserted. Seeing this, Ning decided to be a farmer.”可知，宁决定当农民是因为想利用家乡荒芜的农田。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“At first, many people didn’t understand her decision.”可知，起初人们对宁的决定感到困惑。“didn’t understand”与“Puzzled”意思一致。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Farming is often seen as an ‘unsuitable’ job for both the post-90s generation and women in general.”以及转折词“Also”可知，此处指宁不仅面临外界对其职业选择的不理解，还存在农业知识方面的不足，因此“lacked”意为“缺少”。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“When you’re tired, you can stop and rest and do what you want to do. Every day, you can embrace nature, which is the poetry and far afield that many people hope for”可知，她认为务农能让人拥抱自然，实现很多人向往的“诗和远方”，体现出务农给她带来了极大的乐趣。故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据“Ning has tried to turn farming into a ‘fashionable’ job... she advises mechanized farming... plans to provide children living in cities with a chance to experience farming”可知，宁创新农业模式，体现了她的“创造性（Creative）”；根据“Ning feels responsible for farmers... she has suggested that the agricultural insurance plans should include greenhouses”可知，她为农民的利益发声，体现了她的“责任感（responsible）”。故选B。 六、九下Units1-2单元话题热点预测 阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 Top Recommended Chinese Culture Tours 11-day Beijing—Xi’an—Guilin/Yangshuo—Shanghai Tour ■China’s classic sights ■A silent night on the Great Wall ■Relaxing in China’s countryside VIEW MORE 8-day Beijing—Xi’an—Shanghai Tour ■China’s past, present, and future ■The Terracotta Army coming alive ■Experience a high-speed train ride VIEW MORE 13-day Beijing—Xi’an—Chengdu—Yangtze Cruise—Shanghai Tour ■Feed a lovely giant panda ■Explore China’s classic sights ■Relax on a Yangtze River cruise VIEW MORE 13-day Private Tour: Beijing—Xi’an—Lhasa—Shanghai ■Walk on the Great Wall ■Make a mini warrior with a local family ■Pay your respects at the pilgrim’s holy palace VIEW MORE Mini-dictionary cruise n. 航游 pilgrim n. 朝圣者 warrior n. 勇士 holy adj. 神圣的 1．If a traveler is interested in China’s natural landscapes and animals, which tour would you recommend?

It includes many stories of people such as Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Red Cloud and Lozen Quanah, etc, written by the writer Charles Eastman, and I’m sure you will be interested in it. Name: Crazy Horse Birth: 1842 Death: 9-5-1877 Crazy Horse was a well-known fighter and a gentle leader as well as a brave man who stood for the highest ideal of the Sioux people, famous for his fighting skills as well as his efforts to protect Native American traditions and way of life. Fighting against the efforts to force the Sioux on to reservation (印第安保留地), he worked with Sitting Bull and others in the American-Indian Wars. Charles Eastman shaped him in his book Indian Heroes as “a man of deeds (行动) and not of words”. Name: Red Cloud Birth: 1822 Death: 12-10-1909 He was against the movement of the white settlers (居住者) into the Black Hills. In 1868, he refused to sign a treaty (条约), which stated that the Black Hills didn’t belong to the American-Indian people. The treaty also stated that these areas couldn’t be entered without the government’s permission. According to Eastman’s book Indian Heroes, he was said to force the government to give in and pull out of the area. Name: Lozen Quanah Birth: late 1840s Death: 1890 Known as the youngest sister of Red Cloud, she devoted herself to the people. She was a heroine good at riding horses and using a bow and arrow to drive enemies away in Peter Aleshire’s Warrior Woman.

He was a member of the group who are thought to have been the first people to ever reach the North Pole (北极点). At the time, lots of people only spoke about the group’s leader, Robert Peary. It wasn’t until many years later that people also celebrated Matthew’s success. Matthew Henson was born on 8th August 1866. He started working on a ship named “Katie Hines” when he was 12 years old. Matthew travelled to many different countries on the ship and he learnt lots of new skills. Later, Matthew worked in a shop. An explorer called Robert Peary visited the shop and spoke to Matthew. He admired Matthew for what he had done and then offered him a job. Matthew and Robert explored jungles (丛林) and rainforests in Central America together. After this, Robert asked Matthew to explore the Arctic (北极地区) with him. Matthew worked with the Inuit (因纽特人) who lived in the Arctic. They taught him how to build sleds and how to make igloos out of the snow. Matthew and Robert wanted to be the first people to reach the North Pole. They failed seven times before trying for a final time. The Arctic is not an easy place to explore and the team faced many challenges, such as the freezing cold weather and breakable ice. On 6th April 1909, Matthew and five other people made it to what they thought was the North Pole. The five others were Robert Peary and four Inuit men. Matthew said that he was walking at the front of the team, so he thought that he was the first person to ever reach the North Pole. 1．Why did Robert Peary offer Matthew Henson a job?

He admired Matthew for what he had done and then offered him a job.”可知，Robert Peary钦佩Matthew所做的一切，然后给了他一份工作。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Matthew and Robert explored jungles (丛林) and rainforests in Central America together.”可知，Matthew和Robert一起探索了中美洲的丛林和雨林。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“They taught him how to build sleds and how to make igloos out of the snow.”可知，他们教他如何建造雪橇和如何用雪建造冰屋。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“He started working on a ship named ‘Katie Hines’ when he was 12 years old.

They’re sending a man here to decide how much money to pay me for the stolen diamonds.” “Tell me what happened.” said the policeman. “I went to the store alone.” Mr. Best began, “As soon as I opened the door, two men rushed in. The blond one had a gun. He looked at me angrily and told me to open the safe. I was scared, so I gave him my diamonds. Then they tied me to a chair. After they left, I tried hard to free myself from the ropes and called you.” “What did the two men look like?” “One of them was thin and the other was fat. They wore masks over their whole heads with only little holes for their eyes and mouths.” Just then the insurance man arrived. “Don’t worry.” the policeman said to him, “You don’t have to pay Mr. Best anything. He is lying about the robbers. He took the diamonds himself.” 1．According to Mr. Best, he might be about to ________ when the robbers came in. A．start his business B．have dinner C．clean the diamonds D．call the policeman 2．Picture ________ is a “safe”. A． B． C． D． 3．The policeman believed Mr. Best lied because he made a mistake about the robbers’ ________. A．height B．build C．hair D．voice ①It’s 5:30 a.m., and your phone rings. A policeman says someone broke into a store and took something expensive. They need you right away because witnesses (目击者) may be dishonest while the clues (线索) at the scene (现场) will always tell the truth. It is your job to study the whole scene for clues that will help catch the thief. You are a crime (犯罪) scene officer, and the game is on. ②Outside the store, you see a broken window, but there is no glass on the street. There are shoe-prints (鞋印), and marks left by the car tires (轮胎) which are seen as two direct clues around you. ③First, you look at the shoe-prints. They’re large, so you’re likely to look for a man. You take pictures of the shoe’s pattern. This can tell you the type of the shoes. You then check the space between the shoe-prints. You now know how long the person’s steps were. This gives you an idea of the height of the thief. ④Then, as you follow the shoe-prints over to the tire marks, the spaces between the steps get bigger. They lead to the passenger’s side of the car. Now you know the thief probably didn’t work alone. Again, you take pictures of the tire marks. They can help you find out the type of the car and the direction it went. ⑤The most important clues will come from a person’s body. You find some fingerprints near the broken window. Using a computer, you can match them with millions of others. You also find a hair at the scene. You keep it, because you know hair will show a person’s DNA．You can compare this with other people’s DNA．If you can match the hair with the fingerprint or the DNA, you will know who was in the store. ⑥Will you find the thief? You now have a lot of information, so it’s possible. For a crime scene officer, it’s all in a day’s work. 1．________ made a call at 5:30 a. m.. A．A policeman B．A passenger C．A thief D．A crime scene officer 2．According to paragraph 3, the crime scene officer CAN find information about ________. ①height  ②build  ③man/woman  ④appearance  ⑤personality A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③⑤ 3．The correct order to find the thief is that ________. A． B． C． D． 4．The structure of the passage is ________. A． B． C． D． 二、U7单元话题热点预测 The word opera comes from the Latin word opus, meaning “work”. It is a type of musical show that brings together music, singing, dance, acting, set design (布景设计), costumes, make-up, and even hairdressing. As such, it’s a team effort. Besides, opera also needs an audience to watch the show. Because of this, opera has always mirrored the society of its time. Opera has been around for over 400 years and its origins can be traced back to Florence, Italy, in the late 16th century. Italy’s strong economy during the Renaissance (文艺复兴) provided a lot of money and support for artistic creation. It is said that the first opera in history was Dafne, created by Jacopo Peri and performed in 1597. Since then, opera has grown and changed with different music styles. In the late 1700s, opera entered the Classical Period (古典时期). Composers turned their attention to praising the beauty in real life, and the music returned to the true emotional expression. The 1800s were the age of Romanticism (浪漫主义). During this period, opera showed themes like love, freedom, and justice. By the 1900s, opera, like other arts, entered the modern period. New ways of composing appeared, and opera reached a wider audience through radio and television. With the rapid development of technology, opera is trying to use it to create richer and different kinds of artistic experiences. It opens up exciting new possibilities for both artists and audiences. 1．What is the first opera in history? A．Florence. B．Dafne. C．Opus. D．Jacopo Peri. 2．Operas from which time most likely focused on love and freedom? A．1597. B．1790. C．1850. D．1950. 3．Which sentence uses “origin” in the same way as in the passage? origin /ɒrɪdʒɪn/ ①起源，源头 ②起点，原点 ③出身 A．The origin of basketball was in the United States in 1891.

Then, the hero wins and you realize you’ve been holding your breath all the time. Superhero movies come out every year. Avengers: Endgame was so popular that tickets for the first week were sold out quickly. Why do we never get tired of watching these movies? Superhuman abilities, alien worlds, and strange situations are features of our favorite superhero (超级英雄) movies. Yet these characteristics are absent from our real life. The great difference between these movies and our daily life allows us to separate one from the other. When our real life becomes too hard for us to face, we can get away into the world of superheroes. Superheroes are those who have superpowers and are brave enough to sacrifice (牺牲) themselves. This kind of courage is often translated on screen as superheroes using their abilities to protect humans. This is another reason why we love them. We are born to be attracted to people who protect the weaker ones. In recent movies, superheroes with amazing abilities also experience very human moments like losing loved ones. As a result, we see part of ourselves in these characters and they help us face challenges like them. The last reason why superhero movies are so popular today is money. These movies make a great deal of money. This win-win situation drives a lot of filmmakers to keep making films. Over the past few years, superheroes have turned from comic-book characters to movie stars. They have become such a common part of popular culture that it seems we can’t live without them. You might eat your popcorn while watching the breath-stealing scenes again soon. 1．In Paragraph 1, people hold their breath because they ________. A．have popcorn in mouth B．expect to see the villain C．worry the hero may fail D．feel excited to get a ticket 2．In Paragraph 2, we want to enter the world of superheroes when we ________. A．can protect the weaker ones B．cannot separate it from real life C．want to get away from real life D．find strange situations in real life 3．How many reasons are there for people to love superhero movies? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 4．What does the writer think of the future of superhero movies? A．People will get tired of the superhero movies soon. B．Filmmakers may not make money from the movies. C．Superhero movies will have to face new challenges. D．Superhero movies will still be popular for some time. 三、U6单元话题热点预测 There are many kinds of wonderful programmes on TV every day.

The news programme includes a large amount of latest information from the most serious international political affairs (政治事件) to the most enjoyable football games. The most important feature (特点) of the programme is its fast rhythm. Because of its fast rhythm, it can have so much information in such a short time.

From this programme, people can know about the affairs both at home and abroad in time.

I know a lot of people who can’t seem to live without TV. As soon as they get home, they turn it on. Even if they have work to do, family to be with, or friends to see, they do it all while the TV is on. On the other hand, some people think TV shows are educational. And others see the TV as their best friend. So who is right? There are many benefits of watching television. By watching international news, you are kept informed (有见识的) and up-to-date with breaking news in the world. Some TV shows and channels (频道) show educational programs that can help you learn more about the world. Travel shows teach you about different people, cultures, ideas, and places you might never encounter (偶然碰到) in real life. Watching some shows might give you new ideas and new information that you might never come across in your own lives. What’s more, television can help you feel less lonely. It can be a kind of friend if you are alone. Or, it can be a social experience if you watch it with family or friends. Of course, many people say TV is a waste of time. According to them, watching television is not as good as doing other things like playing with friends, reading books, or learning new things. They also say watching too much TV is bad for your health. You may get fat. You may have trouble sleeping. You may have bad dreams, and your grades may go down. And when you watch a television show, you are not talking to your family or playing with your friends outside. Instead, you are sitting in a chair and staring at the television. It is no good. In conclusion, watching TV can do a lot of good to your life. But if you watch too much TV, you can become fat and lazy, and not do any work. So, if this is you, maybe it’s time to stop watching television and start living instead.

She was a fan of Qinqiang Opera and would often hum the opera while cooking dinner. The sound of her voice, rich and filled with feelings, attracted me a lot. I would follow her, standing on a small chair in the kitchen. My voice filled the rooms, even though I seldom understood the lyrics. One day, my grandmother noticed my interest and decided to teach me the basic singing skills. She showed me how to project my voice, how to move my hands and eyes to express feelings. At first, I had a hard time keeping up, but with her patience and encouragement, I performed well gradually. As I grew older, my grandmother introduced me to more skills about performing Qinqiang Opera, including facial expressions and costume designs. She also told me that the performer’s feelings built the character, so I learned to put them into my performances, making each character come alive on stage  (舞台). Years passed, and I became more confident in my abilities. I started performing at local events, where my grandmother would proudly watch. Her smile of support filled me with joy and energy. Today, Qinqiang Opera is not just a hobby for me but a lifelong journey of learning and growth. It has taught me the importance of hard work, the power of expression, and the beauty of cultural tradition. Every time I step onto the stage, I am reminded of my grandmother’s love and guidance, and I am thankful for the chance to carry on her legacy (遗产) through the art of Qinqiang Opera. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1．What does the underlined word “hum” probably mean?

D．Becoming confident by performing Qinqiang Opera Think about the last time you went to an art or history museum. Which pieces of artifacts (文物) stood out to you? Did you read the introduction next to them? Did it tell you where the artifacts were from and how the museums got them? Today, many museums around the world own art and artifacts that were stolen or looted (掠夺) from their original countries during war or colonial rule. You may see ancient Chinese paintings shown in the British Museum, or sculptures from Africa that date back to the 19th century on display in the Louvre Museum. Many countries have asked European museums to repatriate the artifacts. The debate over whether and how museums should give back artifacts to their original countries has been going on for many years. Those who suggest returning all foreign artifacts to their homes insist that it is morally (道义上) the right thing to do. Furthermore, the country owning the objects will receive an important part of their heritage back, and these artifacts will be given a chance to be truly valued in their homeland. Yet there are different voices. Those against the return point out that some foreign artifacts were not stolen but bought a long time ago. Also, it is sometimes hard to identify (确认) the true owners of certain artifacts—should they be returned to the country, a group or an individual? There is also a view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact “cultural ambassadors (大使)” that improve understanding. They believe that while taking them away from their countries of origin was wrong, history is full of “good” and “bad” actors. Moreover, they feel that keeping the cultural objects in the current museums has kept millions of artifacts safe from damage. On the matter of return, some governments have made the move. In 2018, French President Emmanuel Macron told officially that France would give back 26 looted treasures to the African state of Benin. “I cannot accept that a large part of cultural heritage from several African countries is in France,” said Macron. It’s said to be part of France’s long-promised plans to return artifacts taken from Africa during the colonial rule. Museums all across Europe began reconsidering their previous policies on colonial treasures. In France, twenty-seven artifacts had been identified for return, but only one has been returned. Then, on October 6, 2020, France’s National Assembly officially passed a bill (法案) promising the return of these heritage artifacts, but didn’t fix a certain date. It seems that there is still a long way to go for the return of foreign heritage treasures. 1．The underlined word “repatriate” in paragraph 2 probably means______. A．protect B．show C．return D．borrow 2．People who consider foreign artifacts as “cultural ambassadors” may agree that ______. A．mistakes in history need correcting in time B．heritage artifacts belong to all the human beings C．artifacts will be better protected in their homeland D．history museum tours will be popular in the future 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．French museums refused to identify all the colonial treasures. B．Policies and bills have no use in protecting foreign heritage treasures. C．The treasures stolen or looted can hardly be back to their homeland soon. D．Governments have the duty to keep foreign treasures in good protection. 4．By writing this passage, the writer wants to ______. A．explain how and why many foreign treasures were stolen or looted B．advise governments to take actions in returning foreign treasures C．encourage us to take part in the debate over stolen or looted treasures D．show different views and present situation on the return of treasures 五、Units1-4单元话题热点预测 At the 2007 Asian Winter Games in Changchun, Jilin Province, 17-year-old Xu Mengtao won a silver medal in freestyle skiing women’s aerials (空中技巧). Eighteen years later, at the 2025 Games in Harbin, she turned that into gold and became China’s first snow sports grand slam (大满贯) winner.   “For a sportswoman who competes in aerials, it is tough to stay at the top of their game at this age,” Xu told China Daily.   Xu was born in 1990. She started freestyle skiing at 12. Her journey to the top wasn’t easy. At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, she finished sixth. But that only made her work harder.

Doctors took out nearly 70 percent of the cartilage (半月板) in her left knee. “There were some moments when I thought about giving up,” Xu told CCTV News. “I already had a silver medal. Wasn’t that enough?” However, her love for skiing kept her going. After a difficult time of getting medical treatment, Xu returned to the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in South Korea but only finished in ninth place.   After many injuries and challenges, she completed the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics with steel pins (钢钉) in her body and won her Olympic gold.   Xu plans to keep competing as long as she can. 1．What does the underlined word “tough” mean?

Or you open social media platform for a quick scroll (滚动) through short videos… Well, you know how the story ends—You may spend hours on useless information. Then your brain becomes lazy and slow. There’s a word for it. That’s “brain rot” and it was chosen as Oxford’s Word of the Year for 2024. In fact, “brain rot” isn’t a new word. It first appeared in Henry David Thoreau’s book Walden more than a century ago. He thought that brain rot happened when people stopped being interested in learning new things or didn’t think deeply. From then on, “brain rot” was used. In 2024, the use of “brain rot” increased by 230%. It shows people’s worry about social media scrolling. Today, you easily spend too much time on the screen. You’re fed a large amount of unimportant and unchallenging (无挑战性的) information according to what you’ve visited online. As a result, you hardly do things to boost your brain abilities. Over time, you may have brain rot. Then, ________? Kids and teenagers’ brains are still growing. If they get too much screen time and have brain rot, they will have a lifetime of poorer thinking ability. “Kids are still learning how to focus, control their actions and manage their feelings,” says Leventhal, an expert in brain studies. “Brain rot might make it harder for them to learn these important skills.” To avoid brain rot, you can start by controlling your screen time and connecting with people offline.

Have you ever noticed that airplane seats are usually blue during your travel? Here’s why they’re often a dark shade of blue. ■Blue is calming. Color psychology (心理学) plays an important role in designing the cloth for airplane seats. “The idea is to give airplanes a more comfortable feeling, with relaxing colors and restful designs,” explained a designer in Boeing Company (波音公司). People connect certain colors with certain feelings. Blue is a calming color that suggests peace and relaxation. ■It physically feels cooler. It’s also on the cool end of the color wheel, and can physically make you feel cooler. In a study, 48 percent of people thought soda in a blue glass was more thirst-quenching (解渴的) than one served in glasses of other colors, probably because they connected blue with cold. Likewise, warm colors such as red and orange can make people feel warmer. Although it’s unheard that red is used for airplane seats, feeling hot when you board an airplane is good for no one. ■Blue feels professional. Airlines always choose blue in their seat design because it reflects a cool professionalism (专业性). Blue’s not too unusual and is one of the most common colors, showing a sense of stability (稳定). Another study found that people connected blue with ability. You’re putting your safety and life in the hands of the airline staff and the airplane itself. So ability is certainly important. ■ The right shade hides stains (污渍) well. Dark blue seats are also practical (实用的). Imagine how many people sit on them every day. And how many food pieces, drinks, and who-know-what-else get spilled on them? Darker shades are better at hiding stains and don’t show their wear (磨损) as easily. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A．Blue is an exciting color. B．Blue is a symbol of change. C．Different colors bring different feelings. D．Color psychology is not used in designing. 2．What do airlines hope to show by using blue in their seat design? A．They can provide a faster travel. B．They know a lot about psychology. C．They can make sure the safety of passengers. D．They are more creative than their competitors. 3．Why are blue seats more practical? A．Because blue seats cost less. B．Because blue cloth feels more comfortable. C．Because blue seats look clean and new for longer. D．Because blue cloth doesn’t let water through easily. 4．What’s the passage mainly about? A．Foods and safety. B．Common sense of life. C．Sports in everyday life. D．Humans and animals. For young people who grow up in villages, a job in the city sounds good. But Ning Fenfang, 34, left the big city to be a farmer. In 2017, she left her job in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and went back to her hometown of Cili County in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province. At that time, much of the farmland there was deserted. Seeing this, Ning decided to be a farmer. She started with growing rice and oilseed rape (油菜) in 2020. She rented the land and hired villagers to work it. Ning now farms more than 66.7 hectares of land. More than 300 housewives have worked part-time on her land, each making more than 10,000 yuan per year. “It’s never easy,” said Ning. At first, many people didn’t understand her decision. Farming is often seen as an “unsuitable” job for both the post-90s generation and women in general. Also, she lacked enough farming knowledge. However, Ning loved farming. “When you’re tired, you can stop and rest and do what you want to do. Every day, you can embrace nature, which is the poetry and far afield (诗和远方) that many people hope for,” Ning told the People’s Courts News and Communication Agency. Ning has tried to turn farming into a “fashionable” job. Rather than depending on farmers, she advises mechanized (机械化) farming, which means using high-tech machines. She also plans to provide children living in cities with a chance to experience farming. Ning feels responsible for farmers. Recently she has suggested that the agricultural insurance (农业保险) plans should include greenhouses, as freezing rain hit her hometown and caused losses to farmers in the winter of 2023. 1．Why did Ning decide to become a farmer? A．To make money. B．To live a quiet life. C．To realize her dream. D．To make use of the deserted farmland. 2．How did people feel about Ning’s decision at first? A．Happy. B．Puzzled. C．Surprised. D．Worried. 3．What does the underlined word “lacked” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．学习 B．准备 C．缺少 D．掌握 4．What can we learn from Ning’s words in Paragraph 5? A．Farming brings her great pleasure. B．It's tiring to take up farming. C．She needs to take a rest. D．Many people hope to be farmers. 5．What is Ning like according to the last two paragraphs? A．Friendly and humorous.

He was a member of the group who are thought to have been the first people to ever reach the North Pole (北极点). At the time, lots of people only spoke about the group’s leader, Robert Peary. It wasn’t until many years later that people also celebrated Matthew’s success. Matthew Henson was born on 8th August 1866. He started working on a ship named “Katie Hines” when he was 12 years old. Matthew travelled to many different countries on the ship and he learnt lots of new skills. Later, Matthew worked in a shop. An explorer called Robert Peary visited the shop and spoke to Matthew. He admired Matthew for what he had done and then offered him a job. Matthew and Robert explored jungles (丛林) and rainforests in Central America together. After this, Robert asked Matthew to explore the Arctic (北极地区) with him. Matthew worked with the Inuit (因纽特人) who lived in the Arctic. They taught him how to build sleds and how to make igloos out of the snow. Matthew and Robert wanted to be the first people to reach the North Pole. They failed seven times before trying for a final time. The Arctic is not an easy place to explore and the team faced many challenges, such as the freezing cold weather and breakable ice. On 6th April 1909, Matthew and five other people made it to what they thought was the North Pole. The five others were Robert Peary and four Inuit men. Matthew said that he was walking at the front of the team, so he thought that he was the first person to ever reach the North Pole. 1．Why did Robert Peary offer Matthew Henson a job?
