Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death. Who would do a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. One month ago, he signed up for the job. He used to sit in an office of a software company, but now he is trained to break into rooms full of smoke and heat and come up with a rescue strategy. “I wanted a job where I could be active, work with my hands, learn new practical skills, and face different challenges every day,” That’s quite an understatement (保守说法) to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while fighting against a fire. But Telfer says that flames (火焰) and nerves can be controlled in the same way: through continuous physical and mental training. Telfer was a runner in college, but now he trains his lungs for dangerous situations instead of races. He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks. He also needs to carry unconscious people to safety. No matter what he’s doing, he has to control his breathing. Panic (恐慌) will only waste his limited air supply. His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too. When they are not dealing with emergencies, they study many subjects like emergency medicine, structural design, and chemical reactions. They practice quickly assessing (评估) the changing conditions of a fire. Shifting from a software expert to a first responder was a big change for Telfer. But he says, “I have never once felt that this isn’t the right job for me.” Even though danger might be waiting every day, his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the middle of a fierce fire. 56．When did Sam Telfer become a firefighter? 57．Where did Telfer work before becoming a firefighter? 58．What physical training does a firefighter take? Give an example. 59．How can a firefighter survive a big fire? （二）、.一般疑问句与反义疑问句： Be动词开头： 问：Is/Are/Was/Were…? 答：Yes, 代词+is/are/was/were.或No, 代词+isn’t./aren’t/ wasn’t/ weren’t. 助动词开头： 问：Do/Does/Did…? 答：Yes, 代词+do/does/did.或No, 代词+don’t/doesn’t/ didn’t. 情态动词开头：（以will和can为主） 问：Can…? 答：Yes, 代词+can./ No, 代词+can’t. 问：Will…? 答：Yes, 代词+will./ No, 代词+won’t.  【典例】 Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her mother tongue, as her parents are deaf. “I picked up sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law firm in Chongqing. Her work takes her to places like courts, where she interprets for deaf people in legal cases. 49．Is Hao Shuxin a deaf person? 【典例】 In the city center, firefighters quickly get ready when they hear the alarm. Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death. 55．Firefighters have to get ready within sixty seconds after hearing the alarm, don’t they? （三）、选择疑问句： 由选择疑问句（A or B）来提问文章的细节。（选择A或者B来回答） 【典例】…… “The cables are ropes and are wishes of safety for the fishermen off the coasts. These zigzags remind me of the cliff paths I hope you’ll walk with me and pick flowers along the way. And then my favourite is the diamond. It tells me to treasure all in this life. With each stitch (一针), more love is added to the sweater, and the knitter always knows for whom she is knitting.” I loved the way I connected stitches together, one at a time, just like what Grandma said. 64．Which patterns remind Grandma to value what she has, cables, zigzags, or diamonds? （四）、句子补全填空及开放式问题： 开放性问题往往没有唯一固定答案，所以可以尝试从不同的维度去分析作答。既要依据文章所呈现的内容，又要融入自己合理的思考。注意运用简洁且符合英语语法规范的句子来作答，避免出现表意不明、语法错误等情况，尽量让回答通俗易懂。 句子补全完整：仔细阅读题干句子，明确题目所填的核心内容，确定需要从文章哪些角度去思考和作答。比如是问对某个事件的看法、某种做法的意义，还是关于文中人物行为的启示等。回到原文中，找到与问题相关的部分，再次精读这部分内容，提取关键信息、细节以及作者的一些观点倾向等，这些都可能为自己的回答提供依据或灵感。 【典例】…… All too soon, it was time to go. I wore my sweater Grandma made me, and I gave her the scarf that I had worked so hard on. It showed how I felt about Grandma. I never saw her again. But she is with me often, not only because ________ but also because ________. Especially when I later passed her gift on to my own daughter. We knit in blues and greens, and talk about the colour of the sea in Ireland. One day we hope to see it together. 66．Why does Jane think Grandma is with her often? Complete the sentence. Passage 1 Life is full of the unknown. Some people may bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have realized. My mom was one of those people. My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of twenty. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are sure to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.” At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again as long as I insisted on (坚持) practicing walking. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school—walking on my own! When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again. Over the years, I had various levels of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we met a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world—Holiday Inn. In 1979, my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $1 billion a year. You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you. 1．Kemmons and his mother didn’t live a happy life at his young age, did they? . 2．What happened when Kemmons’s mother was twenty? . 3．How did Kemmons’s mother speak to her son after he was hit by a car? . 4．When did the real turning point occur that led Kemmons to start a motel by himself? . 5．What’s the meaning of the underlined part? It means his mother’s words . 6．What do you think makes Kemmons successful? (at least 2 points and share the reasons) . Passage 2 A Daylight Robbery On the morning of October 19, 2025, the world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris became the scene of a shocking robbery. In just seven minutes, a team of thieves stole eight pieces of priceless historical jewellery worth over ＄102 million. According to police’s work, the thieves used a truck with an extendable (可伸缩的) ladder to enter a first-floor balcony on the quieter side of the museum, facing the River Seine. Dressed as construction workers, they cut through the thick windows of the Galerie d’Apollon, close to the Mona Lisa’s room. Once inside, they broke open two strong display cases, containing precious jewels that once belonged to Emperor Napoleon I and his wife. The museum’s alarm went off during the robbery. However, the thieves finished their task within just seven minutes and escaped on motorbikes that were waiting for them. In their hurry, they dropped the Crown of Empress Eugénie, a piece decorated with over a thousand diamonds. It was later found damaged at the scene. Eight days later, the police found important clues in the case. They discovered important DNA evidence on a helmet and a glove that the thieves had left behind. Two suspects were arrested: one at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport while trying to fly to Algeria, and another preparing to travel to Mali. This well-planned crime is the most serious security problem the Louvre has faced since the famous theft of the Mona Lisa in 1911. It has raised serious questions about how to protect our cultural treasures in today’s world. 1．The thieves entered the museum from the main entrance, didn’t they? 2．How long did it take the thieves to complete the robbery? 3．How did the thieves escape after the robbery? 4．What clues did the police find in the case? 5．What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to? 6．Do you think the title “A Daylight Robbery” is well-chosen? Why or why not? Give at least two reasons. Passage 3 Long ago, I lived deep in the northern forests with a group of giants, strong and fearless. I was their leader, and I must admit, I loved showing off my strength. Sometimes I hung the snakes I caught on my ears as trophies (战利品) or waved them proudly in my hands. One year, the heat was extreme. The sun burnt the land, rivers dried up and people suffered terribly. I watched as children cried for water and the fields turned to dust. I could not bear (忍受) to see them in such pain. So I made an ambitious promise: I would chase the sun and make it serve the people, so no one would be burned by its fire again. The sun raced across the sky like lightning, and I chased it with all my strength. As I ran, dust from my shoes rose into a hill. When I cooked along the way, I balanced my pot on three stones and those stones grew into three mountains. Still, I never slowed. After nine long days and nights, I finally caught up with the sun. But its heat was more than I could bear. Thirst and tiredness hit me. I drank from the Yellow River and the Wei River, but it wasn’t enough. My body begged me to stop, yet my heart pushed me on. I thought of the people waiting below, hoping for water, and I fought my way to the Great Lake. But I never made it. I fell to the ground, too weak to rise again. As darkness fell, I lifted my walking stick with the last of my strength and threw it behind me. In my heart, I wished that life would grow where I fell. To my amazement, the spot where it landed formed a peach forest-green and fruitful all year round-offering shade and sweet fruit to anyone who passed by. Though I failed to capture the sun, my spirit (精神) lives on. My story, Kua Fu Chasing the Sun, is remembered in many ancient books, and some mountains are even named after me. As a lasting lesson, my story shows that ______________. 1．How did Kua Fu sometimes show off his strength? 2．Why did Kua Fu decide to chase the sun? Because he 3．How long did it take Kua Fu to finally catch up with the sun? 4．Did Kua Fu manage to reach the Great Lake and drink its water? 5．What gift did Kua Fu leave behind when his walking stick fell? 6．Complete the sentence. As a lasting lesson, my story shows that Passage 4 根据短文内容回答问题。 5 My feet race up the path back to Grandpa’s yard as fast as I can make them go. Grandpa’s dog, Bandit, is at my heels. Our breath makes a big cloud ball in the cold. My grandpa is scratching the ground with a hoe (锄头). “Grandpa, I heard something strange in your woods.” I tell him. “Let’s go find out what it is,” he says. He takes my hand. Grandpa’s big hand feels warm and safe. My grandpa lives at the top of a mountain all by himself. There are no other children here. So sometimes I go into the woods with Bandit and pretend that I am Alex, the Adventurer. I must stay near the small path and I can’t go past the big rock. This way, Grandpa can always see me from the yard. As we hike toward the big rock, I hold Grandpa’s hand tighter. Cack-cack-cack-cack! There’s that sound! I hold Grandpa’s leg. “What is that, Grandpa?” I whisper. “It’s the first sign of spring,” he says. “How about you go past the big rock a bit? See if you can find out what it is.” “By myself?” I ask. “I promise it’s safe,” he tells me. “And I’ll stay here by the big rock where you can see me.” “No.” I start to say. I look at Grandpa. His whole face seems to be smiling, even his eyes. I wonder what an adventurer would do. I stand up straighter and make a brave face. “Grandpa,” I say, “I think I can do it.” Cack-cack-cack! The sound is even louder on the other side of the rock. I stop and look back. My face must not look so brave, because Grandpa says, “It’s all right, just a little further.” Crunch! Crunch! My feet step on the dead leaves as I get closer. Suddenly it becomes quiet. I hear Grandpa whisper, “Just sit down and watch.” I sit, holding on to my knees. My heart is beating fast. I do not see any animals. You can see a long way into the forest when there are no leaves. I look up. The trees look like skeletons against the sky. Nothing there. Just ahead of me there is a big puddle. Cack-cack-cack! The sound becomes terribly loud in front of me. My eyes move fast to the puddle. Several pairs of golden eyes are sticking up out of the water! Long brown legs float behind. “Frogs!” I shout. Grandpa sits down beside me. “These are wood frogs,” he explains. “They’re calling to each other because it’s time for them to lay eggs. They hide all year, except for this short time.” He points at a big pile of frog eggs in the puddle. They look like jelly bubbles. As I head back up the small path, holding Grandpa’s hand, I look back and smile. There’s something special in Grandpa’s woods. 1．When did the story most probably happen? 2．Why did the writer pretend to be Alex, the Adventurer, in Paragraph 3? 3．The girl didn’t ever go past the big rock in the woods alone, did she? 4．How do you think the girl might feel from the sentences “I sit, holding on to my knees. My heart is beating fast.”? 5．What might be the best title for the passage? 6．Both the girl and her Grandpa teach us something meaningful. What lesson do you learn from them? Give your explanation(s). Passage 5 I was raised by my grandma in Arkansas, and she shaped the way I see the world. Grandma was always graceful. She spoke softly and walked slowly with her hands behind her back. I copied her every move, and our neighbors called me her shadow. When I was thirteen, I moved to California to live with my mother. My new house was a world away from Grandma’s little home. In Arkansas, we listened to the news and fun radio shows. My grandma seldom had visitors. Even when she did have visitors, those elderly friends of hers were well-behaved, just like my grandma. In California, my mother played loud music on a record player. She wore lipstick (口红) and rouge (胭脂).The house was often filled with the laughter and loud talking of her guests, who kept rushing in and out. I clearly didn’t fit in. I walked around my room like Grandma—with my hands behind my back. My mother watched me for two weeks. Then, one night, she sat me down. “Maya,” she said. “I know you don't like me because I am not like your grandma. I am not. But I am your mother and I am working hard to keep this roof over your head and to take care of you. When you go to school, the teacher will smile at you and you’ll smile back. Other students you don’t even know will smile and you’ll smile. If you can force a smile for strangers, do it for me. I’ll appreciate it.” She placed her hand on my cheek and smiled. “Come on, baby. Smile for Mommy.” She made a funny face and, against my wishes, I smiled. She kissed me on the lips and started to cry. “That's the first time I've seen you smile. It’s a beautiful smile. Mother’s beautiful daughter can smile.” I had never been called beautiful before, and no one in my memory had ever called me a daughter. That day, I learned just how powerful a smile could be. 1．The author wasn’t raised by her mother when she was a kid, was she? 2．What made the neighbors of the author’s grandma call the author “Grandma’s shadow”? 3．The author said, “My new house was a world away from Grandma’s little home.” What specific details in the passage tell us about this? Write at least two points. 4．Why did the mother tell the author that she was working hard for her? 5．How did the mother finally make the author smile when they talked one night? 6．What did the smile mean to the author and her mother? (Write at least two points for each person.) To the author: To the mother: Passage 6 A near miss Justin had been counting down the days until he was allowed to learn to drive. In the UK, teenagers may apply for a provisional licence (临时驾照) when they are fifteen and nine months old, so on the morning he reached that age, Justin filled in the online form before breakfast. On his way to school, he was already imagining himself behind the wheel. Justin’s parents had mixed feelings. They were tired of driving him to football training and parties, but the thought of their sometimes careless son driving a real car made them nervous. “I’m not teaching him to drive,” Justin’s mum, Tina, said firmly to her husband, Greg. “Do you remember how he crashed his bicycle into the neighbour’s gate last month? He isn’t very sensible.” Greg did not agree. “He needs to learn to be more careful and responsible,” he replied. “If we never let him try, he’ll never grow up. Don’t worry, I’ll teach him. Everything will be fine.” Justin’s first driving lesson was on Saturday. All week, he told his friends that it would be easy. “I’ve read the Highway Code, and I’ve watched Mum and Dad drive for years,” he said confidently. “How hard can it be?” At last Saturday arrived. Justin hurried to the car, excitement rushing through him. Tina stood at the front door and watched anxiously as he started the engine, checked the mirrors and slowly moved away from the house. “Well, that’s a good start,” she thought. However, the real test came at the end of the street. Justin wanted to turn right, so he simply turned the steering wheel and drove out into the road. He did not slow down and he did not notice the car coming towards him. The other driver braked sharply and stopped just in time. Justin’s face turned pale as he realized how close he had been to causing an accident. “Out you get,” Greg said in a tight voice. “Driving is not a game, Justin. Until you learn to respect the rules and other people on the road, you are not ready to drive.” 1．Why had Justin been counting down the days before his birthday? 2．Why did Justin’s mother mention his bicycle accident? 3．What was Greg’s opinion about Justin learning to drive? 4．What shows that Justin was overconfident before his first lesson? 5．What does the title “A Near Miss” mean in this story? 6．What important lesson do you think Justin learnt from this experience? Give one reason. Passage 7 Odysseus’s Long Journey Home After ten years of fighting in the Trojan War, the Greek hero Odysseus finally began his journey home to Ithaca. He dreamed of seeing his wife, Penelope, and his son, Telemachus. However, the gods decided to test his courage and wisdom. What should have been a short trip turned into a long adventure full of danger and lessons. Odysseus’s first stop was the island of the Lotus-Eaters. There, his men ate a sweet fruit that made them forget home and duty. Odysseus quickly pulled his men back to the ship and reminded them that their families were waiting for them. Later, as they sailed across the dangerous sea, they reached a narrow strait (海峡) where terrible dangers waited. On one side was Scylla, a monster with many heads that could grab sailors from the ship. On the other side was Charybdis, a huge whirlpool (旋涡) that could swallow the whole ship. Odysseus knew he could not avoid both dangers. At last, he decided to guide the ship closer to Scylla, and this led to a few men being caught, but the rest of the crew got through safely. The sea kept testing Odysseus. He faced terrible storms, lost his ships, and heard the beautiful but dangerous songs of the Sirens. He told his men to cover their ears with soft cloth while he himself was tied to the ship’s pole. When they finally passed the island safely, Odysseus felt thankful for he knew that if they had followed the Sirens’ voices, they would have been lost forever. After many years, Odysseus finally reached Ithaca. He came home dressed like a poor man to see who still cared about him. Later, with the help of his son, he drove away the bad men who wanted to take his place. After all these, he and his wife Penelope were finally together again. Odysseus remains a hero in countless people’s hearts because his journey reflects our own. We can learn from his story that ________________________________________________________________. 1．Odysseus didn’t expect his trip home to be a long adventure, did he? 2．What would happen if Odysseus ate the sweet fruit? 3．What does the word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? 4．How did Odysseus stop himself from following Sirens’ songs? 5．Why did Odysseus have to experience so many hard times before getting home? 6．Fill in the blank with two sentences. We can learn from his story that . Passage 8 Read the passage and answer the following questions. (根据短文内容回答下列问题) Some trains produce thick clouds of black smoke as they travel. They smell bad and are harmful to the environment. But luckily, they will soon be a thing of the past. In recent years, scientists have been experimenting with biodiesel (生物柴油). Biodiesel can be made from vegetable oils and animal fats. It can also be made from cooking oil waste and leftover food. Biodiesel can power diesel engines. It is better for the environment than regular diesel. Amaterasu Railway is an open-air sightseeing train (敞篷观光列车) in Miyazaki Prefecture (宫崎县) in Japan. It has been powered by biodiesel since 2021. The train itself is very lovely. It is pink and white. While the train is moving, its conductors use bubble machines to create bubbles along the way. The train can carry up to 60 people. Its ride time is about 30 minutes. It travels through mountains, tunnels and rice fields. Its fuel is powerful enough to pull the train up high mountains. The train’s biodiesel costs about the same as regular diesel. Cooking oil provides about ninety percent of the train’s fuel. The other ten percent comes from pork bone noodle soup, and this makes the smoke from the train smell yummy. The railway company works with another company to run the train. They buy the used cooking oil and leftover noodle soup from some restaurants. The fat from the soup and the oil are refined into biodiesel. Unlike regular diesel, biodiesel goes bad in a few months. So, it has to be used right away. The biodiesel train reuses food waste and cuts down on harmful smoke. How useful it is! 1．According to the article, what can biodiesel be made from? 2．How long has the open-air sightseeing train been powered by biodiesel? 3．How long does the sightseeing train ride last? 4．What color is the open-air sightseeing train? 5．Why does the smoke from the open-air sightseeing train smell yummy? 6．Why does the biodiesel have to be used right away? Passage 9 Dear Miss Li, I’d like to thank you for sending money to “Animal Helpers”, an organization set up to help disabled people. You see, you have helped make it possible for me to have “Lucky”, who has filled my life with pleasure. Let me tell you my story. Being blind, deaf, unable to walk or use your hands easily is something that most people cannot imagine. But there are many people who face these challenges, and I am one of them. Because I can’t use my arms or legs well, normal things like answering the telephone, opening and shutting doors or carrying things have always been difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine said that she would like to help me out. She said she would talk to “Animal Helpers” to see if it would be possible for me to get a specially trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I told her that I love animals and that I’d love to have a dog. After six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”, I was able to bring him home. My dog’s name is “Lucky”—a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kind donation! How does Lucky help me, you might ask? Well, he has been trained to understand different instructions. For example, I say, “Lucky! Fetch my book,” and he does it at once. He is very clever and understands many English words, even some difficult ones like “upstairs”. Lucky is an amazing dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me one day. And so I thank you again for supporting “Animal Helpers”. It is very important that this organization does not run out of money. “Animal Helpers” is such an important organization. Your donation is greatly appreciated and the money is well used to help disabled people like me. Best wishes, Liz Smith 1．Lucky is a specially trained dog, isn’t he? 2．Why did Liz Smith write this letter? 3．What’s the aim of the organization “Animal Helpers”? 4．How does Lucky help Liz Smith? 5．What did Liz Smith have to do before bringing Lucky home? 6．Do you agree that “Animal Helpers” is such an important organization? Explain with at least two reasons? Passage 10 If you think of the jobs that robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but others need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating (低估) what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing their private information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all? British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do most work of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt (使……适应) the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion, and it’s unlikely robots will ever understand other people’s feelings and be able to really connect with humans like another human can. One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. Teachers all over the world are limited. In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9 to 16 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t suffer from stress, or get tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job. Teaching is generally recognized as difficult and teachers feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not “Will robots take the place of teachers?” but “How can robots help teachers?” Office workers can use software to do things like organize and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best. 1．What jobs do people usually believe robots are unable to do? 2．When does Anthony Seldon think robots will take over most classroom work? 3．How will intelligent robots adjust teaching information for each student? 4．Why can robots help solve the problem of insufficient teachers in some areas? 5．How many hours do teachers spend marking homework per week on average? 6．Do you think the writer is optimistic or cautious (审慎的) about using robots in education?

Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death. Who would do a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. One month ago, he signed up for the job. He used to sit in an office of a software company, but now he is trained to break into rooms full of smoke and heat and come up with a rescue strategy. “I wanted a job where I could be active, work with my hands, learn new practical skills, and face different challenges every day,” That’s quite an understatement (保守说法) to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while fighting against a fire. But Telfer says that flames (火焰) and nerves can be controlled in the same way: through continuous physical and mental training. Telfer was a runner in college, but now he trains his lungs for dangerous situations instead of races. He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks. He also needs to carry unconscious people to safety. No matter what he’s doing, he has to control his breathing. Panic (恐慌) will only waste his limited air supply. His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too. When they are not dealing with emergencies, they study many subjects like emergency medicine, structural design, and chemical reactions. They practice quickly assessing (评估) the changing conditions of a fire. Shifting from a software expert to a first responder was a big change for Telfer. But he says, “I have never once felt that this isn’t the right job for me.” Even though danger might be waiting every day, his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the middle of a fierce fire. 56．When did Sam Telfer become a firefighter? 57．Where did Telfer work before becoming a firefighter? 58．What physical training does a firefighter take? Give an example. 59．How can a firefighter survive a big fire? 【答案】 56．Telfer became a firefighter one month ago. 57．He worked in a software company. 58．Firefighters have to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear like oxygen tanks. 59．They should be physically fit and need a lot of mental preparation. 【导语】本文讲述了消防员Sam Telfer的故事。 56．根据“Ask firefighter Sam Telfer, One month ago, he signed up for the job.”可知，他一个月之前签约成为一名消防员。故填Telfer became a firefighter one month ago. 57．根据“He used to sit in an office of a software company”可知，他曾经在一件软件公司工作。故填He worked in a software company. 58．根据“He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks.”可知，必须穿着 34 公斤重的装备例如，氧气瓶，爬上数百级台阶。故填Firefighters have to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear like oxygen tanks. 59．根据“His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too.”可知，消防员的生存不仅仅取决于身体健康。消防员也需要做好充分的心理准备。故填They should be physically fit and need a lot of mental preparation. （二）、.一般疑问句与反义疑问句： Be动词开头： 问：Is/Are/Was/Were…? 答：Yes, 代词+is/are/was/were.或No, 代词+isn’t./aren’t/ wasn’t/ weren’t. 助动词开头： 问：Do/Does/Did…? 答：Yes, 代词+do/does/did.或No, 代词+don’t/doesn’t/ didn’t. 情态动词开头：（以will和can为主） 问：Can…? 答：Yes, 代词+can./ No, 代词+can’t. 问：Will…? 答：Yes, 代词+will./ No, 代词+won’t.  【典例】 Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her mother tongue, as her parents are deaf. “I picked up sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law firm in Chongqing. Her work takes her to places like courts, where she interprets for deaf people in legal cases. 49．Is Hao Shuxin a deaf person? 【答案】49．No, she isn’t. 【导语】本文主要讲述了手语译员郝舒欣在帮助聋人群体进行法律翻译工作中的挑战和努力。 49．根据“Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her mother tongue, as her parents are deaf.”和“I picked up sign language before I could even talk”可知，因为父母都是聋人，郝舒欣将手语视为自己的母语，在会说话之前就学会了手语，她自己不是聋人。故填No, she isn’t. 【典例】 In the city center, firefighters quickly get ready when they hear the alarm. Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death. 55．Firefighters have to get ready within sixty seconds after hearing the alarm, don’t they? 【答案】55．Yes, they do. 【导语】本文讲述了消防员Sam Telfer的故事。 55．根据“Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building.”可知，消防员在听到警报声后，需要在60秒内准备好，故此处用肯定回答。故填Yes, they do. （三）、选择疑问句： 由选择疑问句（A or B）来提问文章的细节。（选择A或者B来回答） 【典例】…… “The cables are ropes and are wishes of safety for the fishermen off the coasts. These zigzags remind me of the cliff paths I hope you’ll walk with me and pick flowers along the way. And then my favourite is the diamond. It tells me to treasure all in this life. With each stitch (一针), more love is added to the sweater, and the knitter always knows for whom she is knitting.” I loved the way I connected stitches together, one at a time, just like what Grandma said. 64．Which patterns remind Grandma to value what she has, cables, zigzags, or diamonds? 【答案】 64．The diamonds. 【导语】本文讲述了作者小时候去祖父母家时，跟祖母学习编织毛衣的经历，以及这段经历对作者后来的深远影响。 64．根据“And then my favourite is the diamond. It tells me to treasure all in this life”可知，菱形图案让祖母珍惜她所拥有的东西。故填The diamonds. （四）、句子补全填空及开放式问题： 开放性问题往往没有唯一固定答案，所以可以尝试从不同的维度去分析作答。既要依据文章所呈现的内容，又要融入自己合理的思考。注意运用简洁且符合英语语法规范的句子来作答，避免出现表意不明、语法错误等情况，尽量让回答通俗易懂。 句子补全完整：仔细阅读题干句子，明确题目所填的核心内容，确定需要从文章哪些角度去思考和作答。比如是问对某个事件的看法、某种做法的意义，还是关于文中人物行为的启示等。回到原文中，找到与问题相关的部分，再次精读这部分内容，提取关键信息、细节以及作者的一些观点倾向等，这些都可能为自己的回答提供依据或灵感。 【典例】…… All too soon, it was time to go. I wore my sweater Grandma made me, and I gave her the scarf that I had worked so hard on. It showed how I felt about Grandma. I never saw her again. But she is with me often, not only because ________ but also because ________. Especially when I later passed her gift on to my own daughter. We knit in blues and greens, and talk about the colour of the sea in Ireland. One day we hope to see it together. 66．Why does Jane think Grandma is with her often?

Passage 1 Life is full of the unknown. Some people may bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have realized. My mom was one of those people. My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of twenty. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are sure to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.” At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again as long as I insisted on (坚持) practicing walking. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school—walking on my own! When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again. Over the years, I had various levels of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we met a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world—Holiday Inn. In 1979, my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $1 billion a year. You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you. 1．Kemmons and his mother didn’t live a happy life at his young age, did they? . 2．What happened when Kemmons’s mother was twenty? . 3．How did Kemmons’s mother speak to her son after he was hit by a car? . 4．When did the real turning point occur that led Kemmons to start a motel by himself? . 5．What’s the meaning of the underlined part? It means his mother’s words . 6．What do you think makes Kemmons successful? (at least 2 points and share the reasons) . 【答案】1．No, they didn’t 2．Kemmons’s father died, making her a single mother 3．She spoke to him in her gentle, loving voice 4．On a vacation he took with his wife and five kids in 1951 5．had a profound influence on him 6．First, his mother’s encouragement. Her words gave him confidence and strength to overcome difficulties. Second, his own determination. He was determined not to be poor again and worked hard to achieve his goal. 【导语】本文讲述凯蒙斯幼时丧父、家境贫寒，母亲的鼓励伴他战胜伤病与困境，他后来创办假日酒店，成为全球最大酒店系统的开创者，印证信念与努力的力量。 1．根据“While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life.”可知，凯蒙斯和母亲小时候生活很艰难，故填No, they didn’t。 2．根据“My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of twenty.”可知，凯蒙斯九个月大时父亲去世，母亲在二十岁时成了单身母亲，故填Kemmons’s father died, making her a single mother。 3．根据“Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice”可知，凯蒙斯被车撞后，母亲用温柔、充满爱意的声音和他说话，故填She spoke to him in her gentle, loving voice。 4．根据“But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951.”可知，真正的转折点发生在 1951 年他和妻子、五个孩子的一次度假中，故填On a vacation he took with his wife and five kids in 1951。 5．根据“She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her.”和“deeply rooted in my soul”可知，此处指母亲的话深深扎根在他的灵魂里，对他影响深远，故填had a profound influence on him。 6．根据“Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life” “But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed.”和“I was determined never to be poor again.” 可知，凯蒙斯成功的原因包括母亲的鼓励和自身的决心，母亲的鼓励让他充满信心，自身的决心让他不断努力，故填First, his mother’s encouragement. Her words gave him confidence and strength to overcome difficulties. Second, his own determination. He was determined not to be poor again and worked hard to achieve his goal。 Passage 2 A Daylight Robbery On the morning of October 19, 2025, the world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris became the scene of a shocking robbery. In just seven minutes, a team of thieves stole eight pieces of priceless historical jewellery worth over ＄102 million. According to police’s work, the thieves used a truck with an extendable (可伸缩的) ladder to enter a first-floor balcony on the quieter side of the museum, facing the River Seine. Dressed as construction workers, they cut through the thick windows of the Galerie d’Apollon, close to the Mona Lisa’s room. Once inside, they broke open two strong display cases, containing precious jewels that once belonged to Emperor Napoleon I and his wife. The museum’s alarm went off during the robbery. However, the thieves finished their task within just seven minutes and escaped on motorbikes that were waiting for them. In their hurry, they dropped the Crown of Empress Eugénie, a piece decorated with over a thousand diamonds. It was later found damaged at the scene. Eight days later, the police found important clues in the case. They discovered important DNA evidence on a helmet and a glove that the thieves had left behind. Two suspects were arrested: one at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport while trying to fly to Algeria, and another preparing to travel to Mali. This well-planned crime is the most serious security problem the Louvre has faced since the famous theft of the Mona Lisa in 1911. It has raised serious questions about how to protect our cultural treasures in today’s world. 1．The thieves entered the museum from the main entrance, didn’t they? 2．How long did it take the thieves to complete the robbery? 3．How did the thieves escape after the robbery? 4．What clues did the police find in the case? 5．What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to? 6．Do you think the title “A Daylight Robbery” is well-chosen? Why or why not? Give at least two reasons. 【答案】1．No, they didn’t. 2．(Just) Seven minutes. 3．They escaped on motorbikes that were waiting for them. 4．They found important DNA evidence on a helmet and a glove that the thieves had left behind. 5．This well-planned crime on the morning of October 19, 2025 (at the world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris). 6．Yes, I do. Because this robbery happened in the daylight and also showed the security in the world-famous Louvre Museum was so terrible that the thieves performed theft easily. (Any possible answer is OK). 【导语】本文主要讲述了2025年10月19日巴黎卢浮宫发生的一起震惊世界的抢劫案，包括抢劫过程、劫匪逃脱方式、警方发现的线索以及该事件引发的关于如何保护文化瑰宝的思考。 1．根据第二段首句“According to police’s work, the thieves used a truck with an extendable (可伸缩的) ladder to enter a first-floor balcony on the quieter side of the museum, facing the River Seine.”可知，劫匪并非从正门进入博物馆，而是利用带可伸缩梯子的卡车从博物馆临塞纳河一侧较安静的一楼阳台进入。故填No, they didn’t. 2．根据第一段“In just seven minutes, a team of thieves stole eight pieces of priceless historical jewellery worth over ＄102 million.”以及第三段“However, the thieves finished their task within just seven minutes”可知，劫匪完成抢劫只用了七分钟。故填(Just) Seven minutes. 3．根据第三段“However, the thieves finished their task within just seven minutes and escaped on motorbikes that were waiting for them.”可知，劫匪抢劫后骑着等待他们的摩托车逃跑了。故填They escaped on motorbikes that were waiting for them. 4．根据第四段“They discovered important DNA evidence on a helmet and a glove that the thieves had left behind.”可知，警方在劫匪留下的头盔和手套上发现了重要的DNA证据。故填They found important DNA evidence on a helmet and a glove that the thieves had left behind. 5．根据最后一段“This well-planned crime is the most serious security problem the Louvre has faced since the famous theft of the Mona Lisa in 1911. It has raised serious questions about how to protect our cultural treasures in today’s world.”可知，这次精心策划的犯罪是卢浮宫自1911年蒙娜丽莎被盗以来面临的最严重的安全问题，它引发了关于在当今世界如何保护我们的文化瑰宝的严肃问题。所以“It”指代的是2025年10月19日上午在巴黎世界著名的卢浮宫发生的这次精心策划的犯罪。故填This well-planned crime on the morning of October 19, 2025 (at the world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris). 6．这是一个开放性问题，答案因人而异。但可以根据文章内容来回答。例如认为标题选得好，原因可以是：这次抢劫发生在白天（this robbery happened in the daylight），而且世界著名的卢浮宫安全状况如此糟糕，劫匪轻易就实施了盗窃（also showed the security in the world-famous Louvre Museum was so terrible that the thieves performed theft easily）。故填Yes, I do. Because this robbery happened in the daylight and also showed the security in the world-famous Louvre Museum was so terrible that the thieves performed theft easily. (Any possible answer is OK). Passage 3 Long ago, I lived deep in the northern forests with a group of giants, strong and fearless. I was their leader, and I must admit, I loved showing off my strength. Sometimes I hung the snakes I caught on my ears as trophies (战利品) or waved them proudly in my hands. One year, the heat was extreme. The sun burnt the land, rivers dried up and people suffered terribly. I watched as children cried for water and the fields turned to dust. I could not bear (忍受) to see them in such pain. So I made an ambitious promise: I would chase the sun and make it serve the people, so no one would be burned by its fire again. The sun raced across the sky like lightning, and I chased it with all my strength. As I ran, dust from my shoes rose into a hill. When I cooked along the way, I balanced my pot on three stones and those stones grew into three mountains. Still, I never slowed. After nine long days and nights, I finally caught up with the sun. But its heat was more than I could bear. Thirst and tiredness hit me. I drank from the Yellow River and the Wei River, but it wasn’t enough. My body begged me to stop, yet my heart pushed me on. I thought of the people waiting below, hoping for water, and I fought my way to the Great Lake. But I never made it. I fell to the ground, too weak to rise again. As darkness fell, I lifted my walking stick with the last of my strength and threw it behind me. In my heart, I wished that life would grow where I fell. To my amazement, the spot where it landed formed a peach forest-green and fruitful all year round-offering shade and sweet fruit to anyone who passed by. Though I failed to capture the sun, my spirit (精神) lives on. My story, Kua Fu Chasing the Sun, is remembered in many ancient books, and some mountains are even named after me.

I could not bear (忍受) to see them in such pain. So I made an ambitious promise: I would chase the sun and make it serve the people, so no one would be burned by its fire again.”可知，夸父决定追日是因为他无法忍受看到人们遭受酷热之苦，想要让太阳为人们服务，这样就没人会再被太阳的火焰灼伤，故填could not bear to see people suffer from the extreme heat and wanted to make the sun serve the people so no one would be burned by its fire again. 3．根据“After nine long days and nights, I finally caught up with the sun.”可知，夸父花了九天九夜才最终追上太阳，故填Nine days and nights. 4．根据“But I never made it.

Passage 4 根据短文内容回答问题。 5 My feet race up the path back to Grandpa’s yard as fast as I can make them go. Grandpa’s dog, Bandit, is at my heels. Our breath makes a big cloud ball in the cold. My grandpa is scratching the ground with a hoe (锄头). “Grandpa, I heard something strange in your woods.” I tell him. “Let’s go find out what it is,” he says. He takes my hand. Grandpa’s big hand feels warm and safe. My grandpa lives at the top of a mountain all by himself. There are no other children here. So sometimes I go into the woods with Bandit and pretend that I am Alex, the Adventurer. I must stay near the small path and I can’t go past the big rock. This way, Grandpa can always see me from the yard. As we hike toward the big rock, I hold Grandpa’s hand tighter. Cack-cack-cack-cack! There’s that sound! I hold Grandpa’s leg. “What is that, Grandpa?” I whisper. “It’s the first sign of spring,” he says. “How about you go past the big rock a bit? See if you can find out what it is.” “By myself?” I ask. “I promise it’s safe,” he tells me. “And I’ll stay here by the big rock where you can see me.” “No.” I start to say. I look at Grandpa. His whole face seems to be smiling, even his eyes. I wonder what an adventurer would do. I stand up straighter and make a brave face. “Grandpa,” I say, “I think I can do it.” Cack-cack-cack! The sound is even louder on the other side of the rock. I stop and look back. My face must not look so brave, because Grandpa says, “It’s all right, just a little further.” Crunch! Crunch! My feet step on the dead leaves as I get closer. Suddenly it becomes quiet. I hear Grandpa whisper, “Just sit down and watch.” I sit, holding on to my knees. My heart is beating fast. I do not see any animals. You can see a long way into the forest when there are no leaves. I look up. The trees look like skeletons against the sky. Nothing there. Just ahead of me there is a big puddle. Cack-cack-cack! The sound becomes terribly loud in front of me. My eyes move fast to the puddle. Several pairs of golden eyes are sticking up out of the water! Long brown legs float behind. “Frogs!” I shout. Grandpa sits down beside me. “These are wood frogs,” he explains. “They’re calling to each other because it’s time for them to lay eggs. They hide all year, except for this short time.” He points at a big pile of frog eggs in the puddle. They look like jelly bubbles. As I head back up the small path, holding Grandpa’s hand, I look back and smile. There’s something special in Grandpa’s woods. 1．When did the story most probably happen? 2．Why did the writer pretend to be Alex, the Adventurer, in Paragraph 3? 3．The girl didn’t ever go past the big rock in the woods alone, did she? 4．How do you think the girl might feel from the sentences “I sit, holding on to my knees. My heart is beating fast.”? 5．What might be the best title for the passage? 6．Both the girl and her Grandpa teach us something meaningful. What lesson do you learn from them? Give your explanation(s). 【答案】1．In early spring. 2．Because there were no other children there. 3．No, she didn’t.   4．She might feel nervous/scared/afraid/anxious. 5．A Special Sound in the Woods/The First Sign of Spring/Discovering Wood Frogs with Grandpa 6．From the girl, I learn that we should be brave to try new things and face our fears. From Grandpa, I learn that adults should give children proper guidance and encouragement to help them grow. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了小女孩和爷爷在初春的森林里探索奇怪声音的来源，最终发现是林蛙在鸣叫并产卵的故事。文中体现了祖孙间的温情、小女孩的成长以及对自然现象的观察。 1．根据文中爷爷说的话“It’s the first sign of spring,”以及后文对林蛙鸣叫和产卵的描述，可知故事发生在初春。故填In early spring. 2．根据“There are no other children here. So sometimes I go into the woods with Bandit and pretend that I am Alex, the Adventurer.”可知，因为那里没有其他孩子，所以“我”假装成探险家。故填Because there were no other children there. 3．根据“I must stay near the small path and I can’t go past the big rock.”以及后文她在爷爷鼓励下才第一次独自越过巨石的描述可知，但这改变的是“从今往后”的状态，并不改变“在此之前从未做过”的历史事实：她之前从未独自越过巨石。题干是反意疑问句，应据实回答：No, she didn’t“是的，以前从来没做过”。故填No, she didn’t. 4．根据句子“I sit, holding on to my knees. My heart is beating fast.”可知，她坐下时抱着膝盖，心跳很快，这描述了她紧张、害怕的心理状态。故填She might feel nervous/scared/afraid/anxious. 5．本文核心是祖孙俩在森林里探索奇怪声音并发现林蛙的故事。标题应简洁概括核心内容或主题。故填A Special Sound in the Woods/The First Sign of Spring/Discovering Wood Frogs with Grandpa. 6．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：From the girl, I learn that we should be brave to try new things and face our fears. From Grandpa, I learn that adults should give children proper guidance and encouragement to help them grow. Passage 5 I was raised by my grandma in Arkansas, and she shaped the way I see the world. Grandma was always graceful. She spoke softly and walked slowly with her hands behind her back. I copied her every move, and our neighbors called me her shadow. When I was thirteen, I moved to California to live with my mother. My new house was a world away from Grandma’s little home. In Arkansas, we listened to the news and fun radio shows. My grandma seldom had visitors. Even when she did have visitors, those elderly friends of hers were well-behaved, just like my grandma. In California, my mother played loud music on a record player. She wore lipstick (口红) and rouge (胭脂).The house was often filled with the laughter and loud talking of her guests, who kept rushing in and out. I clearly didn’t fit in. I walked around my room like Grandma—with my hands behind my back. My mother watched me for two weeks. Then, one night, she sat me down. “Maya,” she said. “I know you don't like me because I am not like your grandma. I am not. But I am your mother and I am working hard to keep this roof over your head and to take care of you. When you go to school, the teacher will smile at you and you’ll smile back. Other students you don’t even know will smile and you’ll smile. If you can force a smile for strangers, do it for me. I’ll appreciate it.” She placed her hand on my cheek and smiled. “Come on, baby. Smile for Mommy.” She made a funny face and, against my wishes, I smiled. She kissed me on the lips and started to cry. “That's the first time I've seen you smile. It’s a beautiful smile. Mother’s beautiful daughter can smile.” I had never been called beautiful before, and no one in my memory had ever called me a daughter. That day, I learned just how powerful a smile could be. 1．The author wasn’t raised by her mother when she was a kid, was she? 2．What made the neighbors of the author’s grandma call the author “Grandma’s shadow”? 3．The author said, “My new house was a world away from Grandma’s little home.” What specific details in the passage tell us about this?

Secondly, she learned the power of a smile. Firstly, she was deeply moved to see her daughter smile for the first time. Secondly, it meant her daughter might start accepting her, improving their mother-daughter relationship. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了由奶奶抚养长大的作者搬到加州与妈妈同住后，因生活习惯差异难以适应，妈妈通过坦诚沟通和做鬼脸让她露出笑容，作者不仅第一次感受到“被称作女儿和美丽”的爱意，也领悟到微笑的力量，母女关系逐渐拉近。再短些。 1．根据“I was raised by my grandma in Arkansas”可知，作者童年由奶奶抚养，故反义疑问句回答为否定。故填No, she wasn’t.。 2．根据“I copied her every move, and our neighbors called me her shadow”可知，“模仿每一个动作”是邻居称呼的核心原因。故填Because the author copied her grandma’s every move.。 3．根据“In Arkansas, we listened to the news and fun radio shows...clearly didn’t fit in.

Passage 6 A near miss Justin had been counting down the days until he was allowed to learn to drive. In the UK, teenagers may apply for a provisional licence (临时驾照) when they are fifteen and nine months old, so on the morning he reached that age, Justin filled in the online form before breakfast. On his way to school, he was already imagining himself behind the wheel. Justin’s parents had mixed feelings. They were tired of driving him to football training and parties, but the thought of their sometimes careless son driving a real car made them nervous. “I’m not teaching him to drive,” Justin’s mum, Tina, said firmly to her husband, Greg. “Do you remember how he crashed his bicycle into the neighbour’s gate last month? He isn’t very sensible.” Greg did not agree. “He needs to learn to be more careful and responsible,” he replied. “If we never let him try, he’ll never grow up. Don’t worry, I’ll teach him. Everything will be fine.” Justin’s first driving lesson was on Saturday. All week, he told his friends that it would be easy. “I’ve read the Highway Code, and I’ve watched Mum and Dad drive for years,” he said confidently. “How hard can it be?” At last Saturday arrived. Justin hurried to the car, excitement rushing through him. Tina stood at the front door and watched anxiously as he started the engine, checked the mirrors and slowly moved away from the house. “Well, that’s a good start,” she thought. However, the real test came at the end of the street. Justin wanted to turn right, so he simply turned the steering wheel and drove out into the road. He did not slow down and he did not notice the car coming towards him. The other driver braked sharply and stopped just in time. Justin’s face turned pale as he realized how close he had been to causing an accident. “Out you get,” Greg said in a tight voice. “Driving is not a game, Justin. Until you learn to respect the rules and other people on the road, you are not ready to drive.” 1．Why had Justin been counting down the days before his birthday? 2．Why did Justin’s mother mention his bicycle accident? 3．What was Greg’s opinion about Justin learning to drive? 4．What shows that Justin was overconfident before his first lesson? 5．What does the title “A Near Miss” mean in this story? 6．What important lesson do you think Justin learnt from this experience? Give one reason. 【答案】1．Because he was eager to learn to drive. 2．To show Justin was careless. 3．He thought Justin needed to learn to be careful and responsible. 4．He said driving would be easy because he had read the Highway Code and watched his parents drive. 5．It means Justin nearly caused an accident while driving. 6．He learnt to respect the rules and other road users. / He learnt that driving requires serious attention and responsibility. 【导语】本文讲述了贾斯汀迫不及待地学开车，但因过于自信和粗心在第一次驾驶课上差点引发事故，从而认识到驾驶需要尊重规则和他人安全的故事。 1．根据第一段“Justin had been counting down the days until he was allowed to learn to drive.”可知，他倒计时是因为渴望学开车。故填Because he was eager to learn to drive. 2．根据第三段母亲的话“Do you remember how he crashed his bicycle into the neighbour’s gate last month? He isn’t very sensible.”可知，母亲提到自行车事故是为了说明贾斯汀平时粗心大意。故填To show Justin was careless. 3．根据第三段父亲的话“He needs to learn to be more careful and responsible... If we never let him try, he’ll never grow up.”可知，父亲认为贾斯汀需要通过学开车来学会谨慎和负责。故填He thought Justin needed to learn to be careful and responsible. 4．根据第四段贾斯汀对朋友说的话“I’ve read the Highway Code, and I’ve watched Mum and Dad drive for years... How hard can it be?”可知，他过度自信地认为开车很简单。故填He said driving would be easy because he had read the Highway Code and watched his parents drive. 5．根据第六段描述贾斯汀转弯时未减速、未注意来车，对方急刹才避免事故，以及“how close he had been to causing an accident”可知，标题“A Near Miss”意为“险些发生的事故”。故填It means Justin nearly caused an accident while driving. 6．本题为开放性问题，可从文中父亲最后的教导“Driving is not a game... Until you learn to respect the rules and other people on the road...”推导出贾斯汀学到的教训。故填He learnt to respect the rules and other road users. / He learnt that driving requires serious attention and responsibility. Passage 7 Odysseus’s Long Journey Home After ten years of fighting in the Trojan War, the Greek hero Odysseus finally began his journey home to Ithaca. He dreamed of seeing his wife, Penelope, and his son, Telemachus. However, the gods decided to test his courage and wisdom. What should have been a short trip turned into a long adventure full of danger and lessons. Odysseus’s first stop was the island of the Lotus-Eaters. There, his men ate a sweet fruit that made them forget home and duty. Odysseus quickly pulled his men back to the ship and reminded them that their families were waiting for them. Later, as they sailed across the dangerous sea, they reached a narrow strait (海峡) where terrible dangers waited. On one side was Scylla, a monster with many heads that could grab sailors from the ship. On the other side was Charybdis, a huge whirlpool (旋涡) that could swallow the whole ship. Odysseus knew he could not avoid both dangers. At last, he decided to guide the ship closer to Scylla, and this led to a few men being caught, but the rest of the crew got through safely. The sea kept testing Odysseus. He faced terrible storms, lost his ships, and heard the beautiful but dangerous songs of the Sirens. He told his men to cover their ears with soft cloth while he himself was tied to the ship’s pole. When they finally passed the island safely, Odysseus felt thankful for he knew that if they had followed the Sirens’ voices, they would have been lost forever. After many years, Odysseus finally reached Ithaca. He came home dressed like a poor man to see who still cared about him. Later, with the help of his son, he drove away the bad men who wanted to take his place. After all these, he and his wife Penelope were finally together again. Odysseus remains a hero in countless people’s hearts because his journey reflects our own.

(根据短文内容回答下列问题) Some trains produce thick clouds of black smoke as they travel. They smell bad and are harmful to the environment. But luckily, they will soon be a thing of the past. In recent years, scientists have been experimenting with biodiesel (生物柴油). Biodiesel can be made from vegetable oils and animal fats. It can also be made from cooking oil waste and leftover food. Biodiesel can power diesel engines. It is better for the environment than regular diesel. Amaterasu Railway is an open-air sightseeing train (敞篷观光列车) in Miyazaki Prefecture (宫崎县) in Japan. It has been powered by biodiesel since 2021. The train itself is very lovely. It is pink and white. While the train is moving, its conductors use bubble machines to create bubbles along the way. The train can carry up to 60 people. Its ride time is about 30 minutes. It travels through mountains, tunnels and rice fields. Its fuel is powerful enough to pull the train up high mountains. The train’s biodiesel costs about the same as regular diesel. Cooking oil provides about ninety percent of the train’s fuel. The other ten percent comes from pork bone noodle soup, and this makes the smoke from the train smell yummy. The railway company works with another company to run the train. They buy the used cooking oil and leftover noodle soup from some restaurants. The fat from the soup and the oil are refined into biodiesel. Unlike regular diesel, biodiesel goes bad in a few months. So, it has to be used right away. The biodiesel train reuses food waste and cuts down on harmful smoke. How useful it is! 1．According to the article, what can biodiesel be made from? 2．How long has the open-air sightseeing train been powered by biodiesel? 3．How long does the sightseeing train ride last? 4．What color is the open-air sightseeing train? 5．Why does the smoke from the open-air sightseeing train smell yummy? 6．Why does the biodiesel have to be used right away? 【答案】1．It can be made from vegetable oils, animal fats, cooking oil waste and leftover food. 2．Since 2021. 3．About 30 minutes. 4．It is pink and white. 5．Because ten percent of its fuel comes from pork bone noodle soup. 6．Because biodiesel goes bad in a few months. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了生物柴油的相关信息，以及日本宫崎县使用生物柴油驱动的露天观光列车的情况，包括列车特点、燃料来源与特点等和这种列车的环保作用。 1．根据“Biodiesel can be made from vegetable oils and animal fats. It can also be made from cooking oil waste and leftover food.”可知生物柴油可由植物油和动物脂肪制成，也可由废弃食用油和剩余食物制成，故填It can be made from vegetable oils, animal fats, cooking oil waste and leftover food. 2．根据“Amaterasu Railway is an open-air sightseeing train in Miyazaki Prefecture in Japan. It has been powered by biodiesel since 2021.”可知自从2021年起敞篷观光列车就由生物柴油提供动力了，故填Since 2021. 3．根据“The train can carry up to 60 people. Its ride time is about 30 minutes.”可知敞篷观光列车的行程时长为大约30分钟，故填About 30 minutes. 4．根据“The train itself is very lovely. It is pink and white.”可知火车是粉白相间的，故填It is pink and white. 5．根据“The other ten percent comes from pork bone noodle soup, and this makes the smoke from the train smell yummy.”可知剩下的10%的燃料来自猪骨面条汤，所以火车冒出的烟闻起来是香喷喷的，故填Because ten percent of its fuel comes from pork bone noodle soup. 6．根据“Unlike regular diesel, biodiesel goes bad in a few months. So, it has to be used right away.”可知几个月后，生物柴油会变质，所以必须被立即使用，故填Because biodiesel goes bad in a few months. Passage 9 Dear Miss Li, I’d like to thank you for sending money to “Animal Helpers”, an organization set up to help disabled people. You see, you have helped make it possible for me to have “Lucky”, who has filled my life with pleasure. Let me tell you my story. Being blind, deaf, unable to walk or use your hands easily is something that most people cannot imagine. But there are many people who face these challenges, and I am one of them. Because I can’t use my arms or legs well, normal things like answering the telephone, opening and shutting doors or carrying things have always been difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine said that she would like to help me out. She said she would talk to “Animal Helpers” to see if it would be possible for me to get a specially trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I told her that I love animals and that I’d love to have a dog. After six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”, I was able to bring him home. My dog’s name is “Lucky”—a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kind donation! How does Lucky help me, you might ask? Well, he has been trained to understand different instructions. For example, I say, “Lucky! Fetch my book,” and he does it at once. He is very clever and understands many English words, even some difficult ones like “upstairs”. Lucky is an amazing dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me one day. And so I thank you again for supporting “Animal Helpers”. It is very important that this organization does not run out of money. “Animal Helpers” is such an important organization. Your donation is greatly appreciated and the money is well used to help disabled people like me. Best wishes, Liz Smith 1．Lucky is a specially trained dog, isn’t he? 2．Why did Liz Smith write this letter? 3．What’s the aim of the organization “Animal Helpers”? 4．How does Lucky help Liz Smith? 5．What did Liz Smith have to do before bringing Lucky home? 6．Do you agree that “Animal Helpers” is such an important organization? Explain with at least two reasons? 【答案】1．Yes, he is. 2．To thank Miss Li for sending money to “Animal Helpers”. 3．To help disabled people. 4．He has been trained to understand different instructions (e.g., fetching books, understanding words like “upstairs”). 5．She had six months of training with Lucky at “Animal Helpers”. 6．Yes. First, it provides specially trained dogs to help disabled people with daily tasks. Second, it brings pleasure and convenience to disabled people’s lives. 【导语】本文主要介绍残疾人Liz致信感谢李小姐为“Animal Helpers”捐款，助自己获得辅助犬Lucky，同时说明该组织对残疾人的重要性。 1．根据“she would talk to ‘Animal Helpers’ to see if it would be possible for me to get a specially trained dog”及“My dog’s name is ‘Lucky’”可知，Lucky是经过特殊训练的狗，故填Yes, he is. 2．根据“I’d like to thank you for sending money to ‘Animal Helpers’”及结尾“so I thank you again for supporting ‘Animal Helpers’”可知，Liz写这封信是为了感谢李小姐给Animal Helpers捐款（帮助她获得了Lucky），故填To thank Miss Li for sending money to “Animal Helpers”. 3．根据“‘Animal Helpers’, an organization setup to help disabled people”可知，该组织的目的是帮助残疾人，故填To help disabled people. 4．根据“Well, he has been trained to understand different instructions.

First, it provides specially trained dogs to help disabled people with daily tasks. Second, it brings pleasure and convenience to disabled people’s lives. Passage 10 If you think of the jobs that robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but others need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating (低估) what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing their private information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all? British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do most work of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt (使……适应) the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion, and it’s unlikely robots will ever understand other people’s feelings and be able to really connect with humans like another human can. One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. Teachers all over the world are limited. In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9 to 16 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t suffer from stress, or get tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job. Teaching is generally recognized as difficult and teachers feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not “Will robots take the place of teachers?” but “How can robots help teachers?” Office workers can use software to do things like organize and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best. 1．What jobs do people usually believe robots are unable to do? 2．When does Anthony Seldon think robots will take over most classroom work? 3．How will intelligent robots adjust teaching information for each student? 4．Why can robots help solve the problem of insufficient teachers in some areas? 5．How many hours do teachers spend marking homework per week on average? 6．Do you think the writer is optimistic or cautious (审慎的) about using robots in education? Give one reason from the text. 【答案】1．Doctors and teachers. 2．In 2027. 3．By reading students’ faces, movements, and brain signals, then adapting the information. 4．Because they can teach anywhere and won’t suffer from stress, or get tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job. 5．More than 11 hours. 6．The writer is optimistic. Because he thinks robots can help solve the problem of insufficient teachers in some parts of the world. 【导语】本文主要介绍了人们对机器人能否胜任医生、教师等工作的看法，以及机器人在教育领域的应用前景、优势等内容。 1．根据原文第一段“If you think of the jobs that robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list.”可知，人们通常认为机器人无法胜任医生和教师的工作。故填Doctors and teachers. 2．根据原文第二段“And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027.”可知，Anthony Seldon认为2027年机器人会接管大部分课堂工作。故填In 2027. 3．根据原文第二段“Intelligent robots will read students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt (使……适应) the information to each student.”可知，智能机器人会通过读取学生的面部表情、动作甚至脑信号来调整教学信息。故填By reading students’ faces, movements, and brain signals, then adapting the information. 4．根据原文第三段“That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t suffer from stress, or get tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.”可知，机器人能在任何地方教学，且不会有压力、不会疲惫、不会为了更好的工作变动，所以能缓解教师不足的问题。故填Because they can teach anywhere and won’t suffer from stress, or get tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job. 5．根据原文第四段“Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework.”可知，教师每周平均花超过11小时批改作业。故填More than 11 hours. 6．本题答案不唯一，言之有理即可。根据原文第三段“One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all…That problem could be partly solved by robots”可知，作者是乐观的，因为他认为机器人能解决教育资源短缺问题。故填The writer is optimistic. Because he thinks robots can help solve the problem of insufficient teachers in some parts of the world. 1 / 18 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
