For 20 minutes, she talked about the problems Lynne was having in school. Then, the doctor said to Lynne, "I need to speak to your mother first. Wait here." As they left the room, the doctor turned on the radio. He then said to Lynne's mother, "Just stand here and watch her." The minute they left the room, Lynne was on her feet, dancing to the music on the radio. The doctor then turned to Lynne's mother and said, "Mrs Lynne, your daughter isn't sick. She is a dancer. Take her to a dance school. Let her show her talent." So she did. Lynne's new dance school was full of people just like her—people who had to move in order to think. Lynne later went to the Royal Ballet School (皇家芭蕾舞学院), one of the world's greatest dance schools, and became a great dancer. After leaving the school, she worked on some of the greatest musicals in history and she became famous.

It can help you to develop a healthy attitude (态度). A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chances to make themselves successful.

Physical exercise makes you tired but really relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence. Encourage yourself. Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh?

However, scientists say that it's good for children to do some easy work about cooking, such as doing the dishes and washing vegetables. Cooking makes children smart. In some cooking activities, children can choose and decide what things to put in a dish or how much salt to put in a dish. That's a great way to make them think attentively. At the same time, they can learn how to serve their friends by cooking themselves. They can also learn to eat healthily. Cooking teaches children to feel how things change. When helping cook in the kitchen, children can touch some different ingredients (食材), and they can also see how food changes by temperature. So it's good for them to get life experience. Cooking makes children confident (自信的). When children learn to cook, they usually feel that they have grown up, and they can do something for their family members. Children can cook a great dinner to show their love. So, cooking is well worth (值得) learning. Cooking teaches children cultures. Cooking in one culture is quite different from that in another. When cooking different kinds of foods, children can also learn about different cultures. Also, children can learn some traditional eating cultures by cooking. 18.Who thinks cooking is good for children in the passage? A. Parents. B. Teachers. C. Doctors. D.

Different from other lakes you might have seen, the Dead Sea is a quite salty lake. In fact, the Dead Sea is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. The Dead Sea is so salty that nothing can live in it. Thatˈs why itˈs called the Dead Sea. And the Dead Sea stays quite salty because it gets only a little rain, and so little fresh water gets into the Dead Sea each year. Donˈt let the name of the Dead Sea make you feel frightened.

If the firemen hadnˈt come so fast, the Jacksons might have lost everything. And what about our local police? The police have helped so many families, especially saving people and pets after the heavy rains. Think about all the other service workers we have in this community. Some people collect waste and rubbish to keep our community clean. Some people repair traffic lights and holes in the streets for not just us, but our cars! And what would this community be without the teachers in our school, and the doctors and nurses in our community hospitals? Think again about what we eat every day; think again about what we wear every day. We cannot make them, but we use them all the time. We get a lot from all these workers. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Letˈs support and help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place. 12.What happened to the Jacksons last week? A. They lost their pets. B. They had a house fire. C. They broke their car. D.

Now, it not only becomes a popular place for people to take a walk, but also a good place for birds and other animals to live in. Li Zhijun is a member of a bird protection organization (组织). He saw the great changes. According to him, Mingcui Lake National Wetland Park is now a famous place for bird photographers. More birds would like to stay here in winter. Besides Yinchuan, many cities in China worked hard to protect wetlands. Wuhan in Hubei Province is known as "a city of a hundred lakes". The city has five large wetland nature reserves (保护区). Tens of thousands of birds come to stay there in winter. Panjin in Liaoning Province is another amazing wetland city. In the past, the city had a lot of pollution because of oil production. But now in the wetlands by the sea, the seagrass turns red every autumn, creating the beautiful "red beach".

Passage 2 Recycling is good for the environment. It can also do good for a community in surprising ways. Brian, a 15-year-old boy, knows this well. In 2020, he started a community recycling program to offer help to football clubs in his hometown, Wyre. It now has 3,000 participants (参与者). When Brian was 11, he played football with Fleetwood Town F.C. The club was new and needed money to travel to the Premier League (英超联赛). Brian came up with a plan. "There were bottles always thrown around the road," he said. "In Wyre, these can be collected for money." With his fatherˈs help, Brian started a bottle drive. Since then, Brianˈs recycling effort has raised £35,000 and helped at least 20 local youth groups. It has also stopped more than 200,000 bottles from littering the roadside and polluting Wyreˈs lakes and rivers. "It has kept our community a lot cleaner," he says. In 2023, Brian won The Duke of Edinburghˈs International Award for young heroes. The award goes to kids and teenagers working to help others and protecting the planet Earth. "Iˈm happy to know that all these clubs and kids around the community are benefiting (受益)," Brian says, when asked about his feelings of his clean-up effort.

More than 40 years ago, Shenzhen was just a small county by the sea. There were no tall buildings or busy traffic at that time. In 1978, there were only about 300,000 people, and most of them made a living by farming and fishing. Thanks to Chinaˈs reform and opening-up policy (改革开放政策), Shenzhen has changed greatly. Now itˈs one of Chinaˈs biggest and most important cities. Over 40 years of development, the high-tech industries (高科技产业) have developed fast. Many companies set up their head offices in Shenzhen and many people from all over the country came to Shenzhen to find jobs. They even made their homes there. And the population of Shenzhen has increased to more than 17,000,000 by the end of 2024. With the fast development, many problems have also appeared in the city, especially air pollution. Sea pollution is a main problem, too. The good news is that the government and people are trying their best together to improve the situation. When a city develops quickly, we should not forget to protect the environment. 11.How does the writer start the passage? A. By giving an example. B. By asking a question. C. By showing some facts. D.

Passage 4 The US Fish and Wildlife Service recently sent out a warning (警告), saying that emperor penguins in Antarctica (南极洲) are in danger of disappearing because of the rising temperature. This calls for the protection of emperor penguins. Antarctica is home to seabirds that can't fly. They need sea ice to reproduce (繁殖), look for food, and stay away from other animals. But climate (气候) change has broken the emperor penguins' sea ice environment. If carbon emissions (碳排放) continue to rise, temperatures will also rise, and then more sea ice will disappear. This could lead to the disappearance of emperor penguins in the near future. Climate change has made emperor penguins reproduce less and less. One example is the Halley Bay group in the Weddell Sea, the second-largest emperor penguin group in the world. Several years of poor ice conditions in areas led to the death of thousands of baby emperor penguins. The warning is made for humans to protect emperor penguins. It also needs the governments' help with rules on emperor penguin protection. An American scientist said that emperor penguins need "climate action" at once. The emperor penguins' lives depend on whether our governments take strong action now to cut the use of climate-heating fossil fuels (化石燃料) and stop life on the earth from being harmed by climate change. 16.What can we know about emperor penguins? A. They all live in Europe. B. They reproduce quickly. C. They can live in the polluted ice. D. They depend on sea ice to live. 17.Which writing skill is used in Paragraph 3? A. Giving an example. B. Raising a question. C. Listing numbers. D. Comparing facts. 18.What's the purpose of writing the passage? A. To tell people how to protect the earth. B. To share the writer's opinions on climate change. C. To ask humans to take action to protect emperor penguins. D. To introduce emperor penguins' bad sea ice environment. Passage 5 I went to my first music festival. It was held over a weekend in a park in Paris. Like most music festivals, it had wonderful singers and music. However, there was something special about this one. You see, this was a green festival! From the food to the stalls (摊位), everything was as environmentally friendly as possible. The festival was powered by solar energy. There were specially labelled bins so that the waste could be used again after the festival. Free fresh water was provided for everyone so that guests didn't need to buy drinks in plastic bottles. There were many stalls for everyone, from little children to the elders. This seems like such a great idea, to make something very fun and not cause great pollution to the environment. I have discovered that there are more events similar to this across the world! I really hope that there will be more events like this music festival. These environmentally friendly practices tell people being green doesn't mean being boring. It can be quite fun.

Then, how to make a study plan? Well, you can begin with listing all the subjects you need to study and make sure what you need to do for each subject.

This calls for the protection of emperor penguins. Antarctica is home to seabirds that can't fly. They need sea ice to reproduce (繁殖), look for food, and stay away from other animals. But climate (气候) change has broken the emperor penguins' sea ice environment. If carbon emissions (碳排放) continue to rise, temperatures will also rise, and then more sea ice will disappear. This could lead to the disappearance of emperor penguins in the near future. Climate change has made emperor penguins reproduce less and less. One example is the Halley Bay group in the Weddell Sea, the second-largest emperor penguin group in the world. Several years of poor ice conditions in areas led to the death of thousands of baby emperor penguins. The warning is made for humans to protect emperor penguins. It also needs the governments' help with rules on emperor penguin protection. An American scientist said that emperor penguins need "climate action" at once. The emperor penguins' lives depend on whether our governments take strong action now to cut the use of climate-heating fossil fuels (化石燃料) and stop life on the earth from being harmed by climate change. 16.What can we know about emperor penguins? A. They all live in Europe. B. They reproduce quickly. C. They can live in the polluted ice. D. They depend on sea ice to live. 17.Which writing skill is used in Paragraph 3? A. Giving an example. B. Raising a question. C. Listing numbers. D. Comparing facts. 18.What's the purpose of writing the passage? A. To tell people how to protect the earth. B. To share the writer's opinions on climate change. C. To ask humans to take action to protect emperor penguins. D. To introduce emperor penguins' bad sea ice environment. 【答案】D、A、C 【语篇解读】文章主要是呼吁人类采取行动保护帝企鹅。 1. 细节理解题。根据“They need sea ice to reproduce, look for food, and stay away from other animals.”可知，帝企鹅依靠海冰生存。故选D项。 2. 推理判断题。根据One example is the Halley Bay group in the Weddell Sea可知，第三段运用了举例子的写作手法。故选A项。 3. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的“The warning is made for humans to protect emperor penguins.”并结合全文内容可知，文章主要目的是呼吁人类采取行动保护帝企鹅。故选C项。 Passage 5 I went to my first music festival.
