It is a reading method named for its five steps: survey, question, read, recite and review. Many students have begun using this method to better understand what they’re reading. S=Survey Survey here means to skim (略读) a book. This step helps you gather the information. Go through the pictures, the title or tables, if there are any. Read the first sentence. This survey step only takes 5-10 minutes, but it is very important. Q=Question Question means to ask yourself, “What’s the book about? What’s the writer trying to tell me?” Once you get an idea of what you’re going to read, then you can read with a better understanding. 3R=Read, Recite, Review ★Read the book, looking for the answers to the questions you have had. Picture in your mind what the words are saying. ★Recite the main ideas of what you just read in your mind, or write down the main ideas on paper in your own words. ★Review what you have learned. Make notes to help you review. Now you have a valuable study tool. Use it to help study for a test. Use it to help remember what you read. Use it to help understand important information. 1．How long does it take you in Step “S”? 2．Why should you ask questions before reading a book? 3．What should you recite after reading a book according to the writer? 4．How can you make the tool of “SQ3R” valuable? 5．Do you want to try this reading method?

They worry that they won’t say things correctly, so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do that. The fastest way to learn something is to do it again and again until you learn it. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want. ★Use all of your resources Use as many different resources, methods and tools as possible, which will allow you to learn faster. There are many different ways you can use to improve your English.

Speak English with your friends whenever you can. Then you will begin thinking in English. ★Study as often as possible Only by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises can you really improve your knowledge of any language. ★Do exercises and take tests Many people think that exercises and tests aren’t much fun.

Read every day, even if it is just for 10 minutes. Read when you get up early or before you go to bed. If you can, read at the same time every day. This will make your brain regard it as “reading” time. Read what you are interested in. Reading can be a trouble if you do not like the book. Reading books that you enjoy will help you stick to your habits ans become a reader. Once you have great interest, it’s hard to put a book down. Carry a book everywhere. Books can be heavy and big, which used to make it hard to read everywhere. Now you can read books on a smartphone. When you are waiting for a bus or waiting in line at a store, open your book app and read. If you cannot read on an app, find a book that is easy to carry with you. Set a reading goal. A goal is something you are trying to achieve. Maybe your goal will be to read 5 or 10 books this year, or you even try to read 100 books. Setting a goal will remind you to read every day. Reaching it will make you feel good and make reading even more fun. 1．How often does the writer suggest reading? 2．What will remind you to read every day? 3．How many ways are there to develop the reading habit in the passage? 4．Do you think it is important to have a good reading habit? Why or why not? Passage 4 Tips for Writing Better Articles Many of us don’t spend a lot of time improving our writing skills. This can be a problem when we hand in our articles. Good writing skills will help us improve our grades. It will also do good to us later in life. The following tips can be helpful. Make good word choices. When you’re not sure which word is the right one for a sentence, look it up in a dictionary. Many of us choose words in a hurry and don’t take the time to decide if they’re proper. Good word choices are necessary for good writing. Check facts. If we want people to believe what we write, we must make sure our facts are true. We should use dependable facts. Rewrite. A common problem is that we don’t like to rewrite. In fact, rewriting is the best way to find out and correct some mistakes, like grammar and spelling mistakes. Rewriting makes our writing better, though it takes more time and more work. Read aloud. When writing an article, it’s very important to check the details, such as spelling, grammar and so on. Why do we need to read aloud? Because reading aloud helps us not only find out our problems but also develop our writing skills. Prepare a list. Preparing a list is necessary for writing a good article. Such a list includes: Is there a proper title? Have we explained every point? Are all the parts of the article included? This can help us to make sure that we have covered everything. It is not easy to become a better writer. But with a few simple steps, we can improve our writing skills and learn how to write better articles. 1．What will help us improve our grades? 2．How many tips can be helpful for writing better articles? 3．Why do we need to read aloud? 4．Which question can be included in the writing list?(写出一个答案即可) 5．What else can we do to write better articles?(答案需与文中要点不同) Passage 5 Some people say that today reading is not as important as it was. That’s because these days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a novel when we can see a film? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on the radio and TV? Photography is certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书), for example, is always better when it has good pictures. But we also need words to explain the photographs. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact (精确的) size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on. In the same way, a good film has action, movement, colour, and maybe music. These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film (故事片). Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently. Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world. Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get into the reading habit. Read at least a little every day. 1．Why do some people say reading is not as important as it was? 2．What can photographs give people? 3．What are the advantages of a novel over a feature film? 4．What does the writer think of watching news on television? 5．What will you do to practice reading? 话题2 节日习俗 Passage 1 Friendship Day is a great day for celebrating friendship. It falls on the first Sunday of August every year. Celebrating the festival was firstly started by the US in 1935. But now this doesn’t only happen in the US. People in other countries are interested in it, too. With more and more countries joining in the celebrations, Friendship Day soon became an international festival. In 1997, the UN named Winnie the pooh (小熊维尼) as the world’s Ambassador (大使) of Friendship. The traditional celebrations include activities such as meeting with friends and exchanging cards, flowers and gifts. Some people may have parties with their friends. Some may have lunch or dinner together. Others may hang out or go to the movies with friends on this special day. Although Friendship Day and its celebrations have changed over the years, the basic idea behind the festival remains the same. People enjoy the moment they spend together and express love and care for their friends. 1．When is Friendship Day? 2．Who is the world’s Ambassador of Friendship? 3．What do people do on Friendship Day?  (列举文中提到的一项活动即可) 4．What’s the basic idea behind the festival? 5．How do you understand Friendship Day? Passage 2 Good table manners can show a person’s proper behavior. In China, table manners are always an important part of Chinese food culture. Some foreigners don’t know much about Chinese table manners before they come to China. Are you one of them? If you are, here are some good table manners you should know. When you are invited to have dinner, you should know some manners about eating. You should start eating after the host tells you to start. Don’t pick up too much food in your bowl. You should eat up the food in your bowl first and then pick up more. It’s not polite to push the food out of your plate. You should also remember some rules when you use chopsticks. Don’t use your chopsticks to point at others. Don’t use your chopsticks to move bowls or plates. Don’t stick your chopsticks into your own food. Don’t spear (戳) food with your chopsticks. After finishing a meal in a restaurant, it’s time to pay the bill. As a guest, you should argue for the chance to pay the bill, but you should always give in and accept the hospitality (好客) of your host. What should you do if you want to leave a party early? You should explain to the host why you are leaving early. You should tell the host that you’re sorry for leaving early. Don’t forget to show your thanks for the host’s hospitality. 1．How are the table manners in Chinese food culture? 2．When can people start eating at a Chinese dinner table? 3．How many pieces of advice about using chopsticks are mentioned? 4．What should you do as a guest after finishing a meal in a restaurant? 5．What would you say if you need to leave a party early?

It is not only fun, but also a new stage (舞台) for traditional culture artists. On video websites and apps, many traditional culture artists are trying the livestream for the first time. Some of them sing Peking Opera, some show their handmade pieces of art, while some others perform classical music. Li Jun is a laosheng performer in Peking Opera. He started the livestream in his sixties. Unlike performing on a real stage, Li uses everyday places as his stage, including his backyard, his study, and even a sofa. Besides singing, Li also teaches viewers about Peking Opera in a funny way. People can ask him questions and get answers directly. The livestream has brought this great art to more people, Li said. “It allows young people to know this traditional art and learn more about it in an easy way.” Other artists also regard the livestream as a new chance. It’s worth (值得) mentioning that there is a China Huafu Day. It began on April 18th, 2018. A big huafu show to celebrate the day is often livestreamed on popular websites. Performers show beautiful clothes in traditional Chinese styles. including those from different dynasties. Viewers enjoy the clothes and watch how performers use ancient styles of make-up. For example, one performer once taught people how to draw the guiye eyebrow (桂叶眉), which was popular during the Tang Dynasty. There is no doubt that the livestream has created a different way through which traditional culture can be kept alive. 1．What makes traditional Chinese culture popular again? 2．What do traditional culture artists use the livestream to do? (至少写出文中提到的2种) 3．Where does Li Jun livestream? 4．What do the popular websites often do to celebrate China Huafu Day? 5．Do you like the way of spreading traditional culture in the text? Why? Passage 4 Fujian’s intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产), the tradition of wearing hairpin flowers, is a very old and special local custom. On festivals or important events, people in Fujian decorate their hair and clothes with fresh flowers. For example, at weddings, the bride would often decorate her hair with nice hairpins and flowers to be more beautiful. Fujian hairpin is not only a decoration for women, but also carries rich cultural meanings. It reflects the desire of beauty and love for life of the ancient people in Fujian. At the same time, it also shows the cultural and economic development of Fujian during the Song and Yuan dynasties. Today, as an important part of intangible cultural heritage, the custom of wearing hairpin flowers is not only loved by local people, but also gradually becoming popular in other places of China and all over the world. 1．What is a very old and special local custom in Fujian? 2．What do people in Fujian do on festivals or important events? 3．Why would the bride often decorate her hair with nice hairpins and flowers at weddings? 4．What does Fujian hairpin flowers carry? 5．Do you want to wear hairpin flowers?

Maybe they’d better know the following things about Chinese names first. First, there is a big difference between a Chinese name and a Western name. A Western name puts the given name first and the family name last. A Chinese name puts the family name first and the given name last. Next, Chinese given names usually have meanings. Most of the time, one’s name carries good wishes from his parents. For example, “丽” shows that the parents want their child to stay beautiful; “健” shows that the parents wish their child to be healthy. It’s a good way for foreigners to pick a Chinese name that sounds like their Western name. But it would be better to use Chinese words that carry special meanings at the same time. For example, if a girl’s name is Macy, she can pick “美诗” as her Chinese name. It sounds close to Macy and has a good meaning. Picking a right Chinese name is never easy. Do you want to show us your Chinese name? Would you like to pick a Chinese name for your foreign friend? 1．Which name comes first in a Western name? 2．What does a Chinese given name usually carry? 3．What does “健” probably mean in a Chinese name? 4．Why is “美诗” a good Chinese name for Macy? 5．What Chinese name would you like to pick for your foreign friend? Why? 话题3 自我成长 Passage 1 Every Saturday, Wang Weifang puts on a play with his friends in a small town near Xi’ai. The audience (观众) can hear them, but they cannot see them. That is because they are putting on a shadow puppet (皮影) play. Shadow puppets are made of hard leather (皮革). The leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an object. Each puppet is painted in bright colors and puts on a stick. Some puppets have movable arms and legs. During a shadow puppet play, Wang stands behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sit in front of the screen. Wang and his friends hold the puppets very close to the screen so that the audience can see the puppets’ shadows clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different characters. Shadow puppet play is a kind of ancient Chinese art.

Passage 3 Most people change because of some experiences. So do I. I had some unforgettable (难忘的) experiences in high school. They have taken me from what I used to be like to what I am like now. In the past, I was a quiet and shy girl. I never talked with others about what was in my mind. That was because I was afraid that someone would laugh at me. I cared too much about what others thought and didn’t pay attention to my own thinking. I liked staying at home because I felt safe there. When nobody was around, I would finally write about my feelings on the Internet. However, I changed a lot in the second year in high school. My teachers and friends treated me really well. They didn’t laugh at me even if I made mistakes. I didn’t realize that it was normal for everyone to fail until then. Now I am no longer afraid to give my opinions. When there’s a chance, I’ll let the world know how I feel. I’m now also more self-confident than I used to be. I’m very thankful to my teachers and friends for their help. 1题完成句子；2-3题简略回答问题；4题找出并写下全文的主题句；5题将文中划线句子译成汉语。 1．Now I am not afraid to give my any longer. 2．Why didn’t the writer talk to others about what was in her mind? 3．Did the writer use to be quiet and shy? 4． 5． Passage 4 Everyone has dreams, but not everyone knows how to realize them. There are some steps you can take to make your dreams come true. The first step to achieve your dreams is to set clear and right goals. Write down what you want to achieve and divide it into smaller and more achievable steps. These steps help you become motivated (有动力的). Once you have your goals in mind, you can make a plan about how you will achieve them. Make a timeline for each step and be responsible for yourself. It’s not enough to just have a plan—you need to take action to make your dreams come true. Achieving your dreams can be a long and difficult journey, so staying motivated along the way is important. When you succeed, celebrate it. In order to stay motivated, you can celebrate your success with someone who supports you. Success makes you happy, so keep working towards your next dream.

It can create material based on (基于) what is learned from digital books and online passages. Now, three high school students in Cyprus have developed a special robot with their teachers. Why is this robot special? That’s because it uses ChatGPT AI technology. The robot is named AInstein. It is the size of a small adult, and it can also answer questions like humans. AInstein has a screen for a face that appears to show facial expressions. It speaks a North American form of English. And it can tell jokes, like “Why was the math book sad? Because it had too many problems.” The robot enjoys reading science books. It also enjoys spending time playing the violin. The creators of AInstein want to use technology to improve learning experiences in the classroom. In fact, there might be a place for robots in education. British education expert Anthony Seldon even predicts that robots will get control of the classroom in 2027 and teachers will work as their helpers. One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teachers at all. In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers, and 9-10 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That is a real problem. Some local governments don’t know how to deal with this problem. However, that problem can be partly solved by robots. Robots can teach anywhere and don’t get stressed or tired. They will never move somewhere for an easier, high-paid job. 1．Who developed the robot AInstein? 2．Why is the robot AInstein special? 3．What does the robot AInstein like doing? 4．What is the creators’ purpose of inventing the robot AInstein? 5．Why can robots help deal with the problem of not enough teachers? (至少回答出两点) Passage 2 The American startup (新成立的) Figure, together with the OpenAI company (公司), created the Figure 01 robot. This robot can talk to people and do whatever people ask it to do, and the two companies even made a video to show it. In the video, someone asked, “Hey, Figure 01, what do you see right now?” The robot looked at the table in front of it and described everything on the table. It even described the person who asked the question. Next, the person asked the robot for something to eat, and it handed the person an apple! After that, the person threw some rubbish in front of the robot and asked it to clean it up. And the robot did what it was told and cleaned up all the rubbish. In 2023, Figure 01 showed its abilities by doing simple tasks by itself. And by the end of the year, it had learned to do even more! In January 2024, BMW, a famous car company, signed a contract (合同) with Figure, to use Figure 01 in one of its factories. A month later, they showed la video of the robot working in the factory It was so cool! Now, you might be wondering how the robot knows what it sees. Figure 01 has cameras for eyes. These cameras send pictures to an AI model made by OpenAI. This AI model helps the robot understand what it sees and what people say. The Figure robot then uses all the information to move and do things quickly and exactly! 1．What can Figure 01 do? 2．What did Figure 01 describe in the video? 3．Why did BMW sign a contract with Figure? 4．What does the AI model help Figure 01 do? 5．What do you think of Figure 01? Why? Passage 3 3D printing is an amazing technology that has changed the way we make things. It was first invented in the 1980s and has developed a lot since then. The process of 3D printing is really interesting. First, we need to design a 3D model of the object we want to make using special computer software. Then, the 3D printer reads the model and starts to build the object layer by layer. It uses different materials like plastics, metals, or ceramics (陶瓷) to create the object. 3D printing has many great uses. It can be used in the medical field, the manufacturing (制造业) industry and so on. It can make parts for cars, airplanes, and other machines. It can also be used to make beautiful jewelry (珠宝) and toys. Another advantage of 3D printing is that it can save a lot of materials. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods where a lot of material is cut away and wasted, 3D printing only uses the amount of material needed to build the object. However, 3D printing also has some problems. The 3D printers and the materials can be quite expensive, so not everyone can afford them. Also, the printing speed is usually slower than traditional manufacturing methods, which means it takes more time to make a large number of products. In the future, 3D printing will probably become more and more popular and advanced. We may be able to print even more complex and useful things with it, like houses and even human organs. It will bring more convenience and possibilities to our lives. 1．When was 3D printing first invented? 2．What materials does 3D printing often use to create objects? 3．Where can 3D printing be used? 4．Is 3D printing speed usually faster or slower than traditional manufacturing methods? 5．Do you like 3D printing? Why or why not? Passage 4 More than 100,000 people cheered excitedly when 3,000 drones flew over Chaotianmen on the Chinese New Year Eve in 2024. The 15-minute drone show had 300 million views online. In fact, drones are easy to control. People send orders to the control system (系统). Rotors push against the air to make the drone rise or stay in the air. By changing the angle (角度) and the speed of different rotors, the drone flies in all directions. Drones can complete difficult and special tasks in a timely and effective (有效的) way. After an earthquake, drones can fly over blocked roads to find people. Reaching the mountain village by road may take several hours, but drones provide information in just a few minutes. For weak wildlife populations, drones can show where hunters are hiding. At night, drones with infrared (红外线的) cameras can easily find them in the dark. Drones also provide convenience for the public. For example, at a sports event, drones are used to give a view from above or help coaches see how their players are doing. In a word, drones have been widely used in our lives, with more fields on the way. As drones are cheaper, more practical and less dangerous than planes, drone flying activities have increased greatly. At the end of 2023, there were nearly 1. 27 million drones across the country. The drone industry is believed to be full of chances. 1．Why did over 100,000 people cheer excitedly? 2．What can drones do after an earthquake? 3．How do drones find where hunters are hiding at night? 4．Why have drone flying activities increased greatly? 5．Give an example of other uses of drones. Passage 5 Nowadays, people use computers to do a lot of things every day, like searching for information and sending e-mails. But none of them would go well without the computer mouse. The first computer mouse appeared in 1964, invented by Douglas Engelbart. It was mainly made up of a wooden “house”, a circuit (电路) board and two wheels. Engelbart called his invention the “Bug”. But the long “tail” on the back made it look like a mouse, so the name became well-known soon. Eight years later, Bill English, an American computer engineer, developed the mouse further. He changed the wheels into a rolling (滚动的) ball at the bottom of the mouse. The “Ball Mouse” was easier to use and could be found in lots of offices. It had its problems, though. For example, the ball became dirty easily from rolling round the desktop. It had to be often cleaned out to keep the ball running well. The disadvantages (缺点) led to the next development around 1980. Then the optical mouse (光学鼠标) was invented. However, the optical mouse was too expensive to be widely used. The computer mouse has come a long way since its invention. It has been improved many times to meet the changing needs of users. But with the rise of touch screens and voice control, some experts think the computer mouse may disappear in the future. However, some people think it will still have a market. 1．When was the first computer mouse invented? 2．How did Bill English improve the mouse? 3．What was the problem with the “Ball Mouse”? 4．Why wasn’t the optical mouse widely used? 5．Do you think the mouse will disappear in the future? Why or why not? 话题5 人际关系 Passage 1 When the teacher asks a question in class, Wang Xiaobin never raises his hand and this situation is very common at middle schools. This 15-year-old boy always waits for other classmates or the teacher to give the answer. “What if my answer is wrong?” Wang asks. Wang said only six or seven students in his class raise their hands when a question is asked. “I think it is a problem that may affect (影响) our studies, but I am afraid of making mistakes in front of my classmates,” he said. When we asked the teacher, Hu Wei, why the students didn’t raise their hands, he said, “They lack (缺乏) confidence (自信). They are afraid of showing off, or they’re afraid of losing face by giving wrong answers.” To encourage students to raise their hands in class, Hu suggests that teachers should repeat the question, and then try to guide and encourage students to offer their answers. Hu also advises students not to be shy, but brave enough to try. Sun Pin, 16 of Fujian, always raises her hand as soon as she comes up with the answer, even if she isn’t sure she has got it right. Sun can’t understand why some of her classmates keep silent in class. She enjoys raising her hand a lot. “It keeps me active and confident to express my idea,” Sun said. “Raising my hand has really made me excellent.” 1．How old is Wang Xiaobin? 2．How many students might raise hands to answer questions in Wang’s class? 3．What will Sun Pin probably do if she isn’t sure about her answer? 4．Why didn’t students raise their hands according to Mr Hu? (写出两个答案) 5．Will you raise your hand in class? Why or why not? Passage 2 What is adolescence (青春期)? When does it start? It starts when you are aged between about ten and thirteen. Here are some changes about you during adolescence. You may not want to spend as much time with your parents as you used to. You want to do more things on your own. In the past, your parents made decisions for you. However, now you want to decide things for yourself and don’t want to be told what to do. All these changes are completely normal, but they will influence your relationship with your parents. So what can you do to make it better? Firstly, your parents will feel much better if you let them know that you still love them. Remember that they don’t have the small child you used to be. They may not say so, but they probably feel like something is missing. So try to show your love to them from time to time. Secondly, try to agree to rules. You may feel these rules are not necessary, but your parents just want to make sure you stay safe. Once you agree to the rules, try to follow them. Thirdly, try to understand why they feel upset about your behaviour (行为). Do your parents get upset if you spend three hours playing computer games and leave your homework till the last minute? That’s probably because they want you to do well at school. Finally, it’s all about communication!

This can be a problem when we hand in our articles. Good writing skills will help us improve our grades. It will also do good to us later in life. The following tips can be helpful. Make good word choices. When you’re not sure which word is the right one for a sentence, look it up in a dictionary. Many of us choose words in a hurry and don’t take the time to decide if they’re proper. Good word choices are necessary for good writing. Check facts. If we want people to believe what we write, we must make sure our facts are true. We should use dependable facts. Rewrite. A common problem is that we don’t like to rewrite. In fact, rewriting is the best way to find out and correct some mistakes, like grammar and spelling mistakes. Rewriting makes our writing better, though it takes more time and more work. Read aloud. When writing an article, it’s very important to check the details, such as spelling, grammar and so on. Why do we need to read aloud? Because reading aloud helps us not only find out our problems but also develop our writing skills. Prepare a list. Preparing a list is necessary for writing a good article. Such a list includes: Is there a proper title? Have we explained every point? Are all the parts of the article included? This can help us to make sure that we have covered everything. It is not easy to become a better writer. But with a few simple steps, we can improve our writing skills and learn how to write better articles. 1．What will help us improve our grades? 2．How many tips can be helpful for writing better articles? 3．Why do we need to read aloud? 4．Which question can be included in the writing list?(写出一个答案即可) 5．What else can we do to write better articles?(答案需与文中要点不同) 【答案】1．Good writing skills. 2．Five/5. 3．To find out our problems and develop our writing skills./Because reading aloud helps us not only find out our problems but also develop our writing skills. 4．Is there a proper title?/Have we explained every point?/Are all the parts of the article included? 5．We can share our writing with others and ask for their feedback. 【导语】本文主要介绍了如何写出更好文章的几点建议。 1．根据“Good writing skills will help us improve our grades”可知，好的写作技巧有助于提高成绩。故填Good writing skills. 2．通读全文可知，文章从“选词、核对事实、重写、朗读、列清单”五个方面给出了写作建议。故填Five/5. 3．根据“Because reading aloud helps us not only find out our problems but also develop our writing skills.”可知，大声朗读既能帮助我们发现错误，也能提升写作能力。故填To find out our problems and develop our writing skills./Because reading aloud helps us not only find out our problems but also develop our writing skills. 4．根据“Is there a proper title?

Passage 5 Some people say that today reading is not as important as it was. That’s because these days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a novel when we can see a film? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on the radio and TV? Photography is certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书), for example, is always better when it has good pictures. But we also need words to explain the photographs. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact (精确的) size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on. In the same way, a good film has action, movement, colour, and maybe music. These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film (故事片). Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently. Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world. Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get into the reading habit. Read at least a little every day. 1．Why do some people say reading is not as important as it was? 2．What can photographs give people? 3．What are the advantages of a novel over a feature film? 4．What does the writer think of watching news on television? 5．What will you do to practice reading? 【答案】1．Because these days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. 2．They can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. 3．Reading a novel requires imagination and each of us imagines a story differently. 4．Watching news on television can certainly be exciting, but we need newspapers as well. 5．I will read at least a little every day to practice reading./I will read novels, newspapers or magazines regularly to improve my reading skills. 【导语】本文介绍了阅读的重要性和必要性，鼓励人们养成阅读的习惯。 1．根据“Some people say that today reading is not as important as it was. That’s because these days we have photographs, films, radio, and television.”可知，有些人说如今阅读不像以前那么重要了。这是因为现在我们有了照片、电影、广播和电视。故填Because these days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. 2．根据“Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen.”可知，照片能提供对陌生地点和人的直观印象。故填They can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. 3．根据“But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film (故事片). Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently.”可知，小说能激发个人独特的想象力，我们每个人对故事的想象都各不相同。故填Reading a novel requires imagination and each of us imagines a story differently. 4．根据“Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well.”可知，作者认为看电视新闻令人兴奋，但它无法取代报纸。故填Watching news on television can certainly be exciting, but we need newspapers as well. 5．开放题，合理即可。根据“Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice…Read at least a little every day.”可知，我将每天阅读以练习阅读。故填I will read at least a little every day to practice reading./I will read novels, newspapers or magazines regularly to improve my reading skills. 话题2 节日习俗 Passage 1 Friendship Day is a great day for celebrating friendship.

However, some of them have got really funny Chinese names. Maybe they’d better know the following things about Chinese names first. First, there is a big difference between a Chinese name and a Western name. A Western name puts the given name first and the family name last. A Chinese name puts the family name first and the given name last. Next, Chinese given names usually have meanings. Most of the time, one’s name carries good wishes from his parents. For example, “丽” shows that the parents want their child to stay beautiful; “健” shows that the parents wish their child to be healthy. It’s a good way for foreigners to pick a Chinese name that sounds like their Western name. But it would be better to use Chinese words that carry special meanings at the same time. For example, if a girl’s name is Macy, she can pick “美诗” as her Chinese name. It sounds close to Macy and has a good meaning. Picking a right Chinese name is never easy. Do you want to show us your Chinese name?

It was first invented in the 1980s and has developed a lot since then. The process of 3D printing is really interesting. First, we need to design a 3D model of the object we want to make using special computer software. Then, the 3D printer reads the model and starts to build the object layer by layer. It uses different materials like plastics, metals, or ceramics (陶瓷) to create the object. 3D printing has many great uses. It can be used in the medical field, the manufacturing (制造业) industry and so on. It can make parts for cars, airplanes, and other machines. It can also be used to make beautiful jewelry (珠宝) and toys. Another advantage of 3D printing is that it can save a lot of materials. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods where a lot of material is cut away and wasted, 3D printing only uses the amount of material needed to build the object. However, 3D printing also has some problems. The 3D printers and the materials can be quite expensive, so not everyone can afford them. Also, the printing speed is usually slower than traditional manufacturing methods, which means it takes more time to make a large number of products. In the future, 3D printing will probably become more and more popular and advanced. We may be able to print even more complex and useful things with it, like houses and even human organs. It will bring more convenience and possibilities to our lives. 1．When was 3D printing first invented? 2．What materials does 3D printing often use to create objects? 3．Where can 3D printing be used? 4．Is 3D printing speed usually faster or slower than traditional manufacturing methods? 5．Do you like 3D printing?

The 15-minute drone show had 300 million views online. In fact, drones are easy to control. People send orders to the control system (系统). Rotors push against the air to make the drone rise or stay in the air. By changing the angle (角度) and the speed of different rotors, the drone flies in all directions. Drones can complete difficult and special tasks in a timely and effective (有效的) way. After an earthquake, drones can fly over blocked roads to find people. Reaching the mountain village by road may take several hours, but drones provide information in just a few minutes. For weak wildlife populations, drones can show where hunters are hiding. At night, drones with infrared (红外线的) cameras can easily find them in the dark. Drones also provide convenience for the public. For example, at a sports event, drones are used to give a view from above or help coaches see how their players are doing. In a word, drones have been widely used in our lives, with more fields on the way. As drones are cheaper, more practical and less dangerous than planes, drone flying activities have increased greatly. At the end of 2023, there were nearly 1. 27 million drones across the country.

But none of them would go well without the computer mouse. The first computer mouse appeared in 1964, invented by Douglas Engelbart. It was mainly made up of a wooden “house”, a circuit (电路) board and two wheels. Engelbart called his invention the “Bug”. But the long “tail” on the back made it look like a mouse, so the name became well-known soon. Eight years later, Bill English, an American computer engineer, developed the mouse further. He changed the wheels into a rolling (滚动的) ball at the bottom of the mouse. The “Ball Mouse” was easier to use and could be found in lots of offices. It had its problems, though. For example, the ball became dirty easily from rolling round the desktop. It had to be often cleaned out to keep the ball running well. The disadvantages (缺点) led to the next development around 1980. Then the optical mouse (光学鼠标) was invented. However, the optical mouse was too expensive to be widely used. The computer mouse has come a long way since its invention. It has been improved many times to meet the changing needs of users. But with the rise of touch screens and voice control, some experts think the computer mouse may disappear in the future. However, some people think it will still have a market. 1．When was the first computer mouse invented? 2．How did Bill English improve the mouse? 3．What was the problem with the “Ball Mouse”? 4．Why wasn’t the optical mouse widely used? 5．Do you think the mouse will disappear in the future?

This 15-year-old boy always waits for other classmates or the teacher to give the answer. “What if my answer is wrong?” Wang asks. Wang said only six or seven students in his class raise their hands when a question is asked. “I think it is a problem that may affect (影响) our studies, but I am afraid of making mistakes in front of my classmates,” he said. When we asked the teacher, Hu Wei, why the students didn’t raise their hands, he said, “They lack (缺乏) confidence (自信). They are afraid of showing off, or they’re afraid of losing face by giving wrong answers.” To encourage students to raise their hands in class, Hu suggests that teachers should repeat the question, and then try to guide and encourage students to offer their answers. Hu also advises students not to be shy, but brave enough to try. Sun Pin, 16 of Fujian, always raises her hand as soon as she comes up with the answer, even if she isn’t sure she has got it right. Sun can’t understand why some of her classmates keep silent in class.

Here are some changes about you during adolescence. You may not want to spend as much time with your parents as you used to. You want to do more things on your own. In the past, your parents made decisions for you. However, now you want to decide things for yourself and don’t want to be told what to do. All these changes are completely normal, but they will influence your relationship with your parents. So what can you do to make it better? Firstly, your parents will feel much better if you let them know that you still love them. Remember that they don’t have the small child you used to be. They may not say so, but they probably feel like something is missing. So try to show your love to them from time to time. Secondly, try to agree to rules. You may feel these rules are not necessary, but your parents just want to make sure you stay safe. Once you agree to the rules, try to follow them. Thirdly, try to understand why they feel upset about your behaviour (行为). Do your parents get upset if you spend three hours playing computer games and leave your homework till the last minute? That’s probably because they want you to do well at school. Finally, it’s all about communication! Keep talking to your parents, tell them about what you did today, let them know where you are going, and ask for advice if you need. 1．What might change in your relationship with your parents during adolescence? 2．What does the writer think of the changes during adolescence? 3．Why should you try to agree to the rules made by your parents? 4．Why do your parents get upset if you leave your homework until the last minute? 5．How do you improve communication with your parents? 【答案】1．We/I may not want to spend as much time with our/my parents, and we/I might want to make our/my own decisions instead of being told what to do. 2．They are completely normal, but they will influence the relationship with parents. 3．Because they just want to make sure me/us stay safe. 4．Because they want me/us to do well at school. 5．I improve communication by talking to my parents about what I did today, letting them know where I’m going, asking for advice if I need, and showing them that I still love them. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了青春期如何与父母相处得更好。 1．根据“You may not want to spend as much time with your parents as you used to…However, now you want to decide things for yourself and don’t want to be told what to do.”可知，青春期会让孩子开始渴望独立，从而影响和父母的关系。故填We/I may not want to spend as much time with our/my parents, and we/I might want to make our/my own decisions instead of being told what to do. 2．根据“All these changes are completely normal, but they will influence your relationship with your parents.”可知，尽管这些变化是正常的，但它们确实会对亲子关系产生影响。故填They are completely normal, but they will influence the relationship with parents. 3．根据“Secondly, try to agree to rules.
