I remember when I was learning English, I felt uncomfortable about speaking. I could remember lots of words and knew grammar rules, but speaking was difficult. I now feel a lot more confident about speaking, so here are some ideas that I have taken from my own experience. Don’t worry about making mistakes. Other people will still know your meaning and they probably won’t notice your mistakes. Use every chance you get to speak. For example, it’s a good idea to use only English in class and not to speak to your classmates in your own language. At home, you should also try practicing new words and grammar learnt in class. Think about extra speaking practice outside the classroom. You can join a conversation group, such as the chat groups in the study centre. They are free to join. Practice speaking online. There are lots of websites where you can communicate with someone from all around the world. I hope this helps you and please come to me if you have other problems.

As we all know, in ancient times, people communicated with others who were far away only by writing letters. It took a very long time to get the message. In the 19th century, telegraph was invented, but it was not widely used. The letter was still the commonest way at that time. In 1836, John Coker invented the first electromagnetic telegraph (电磁电报机) in the world, and then telegraph came into being and was popular. It was much faster than letters, bringing great convenience to people. As time goes by, telephones become increasingly widely used. Now, phones have been developed as mobile phones, fixed telephones, Internet telephones and other categories. They are important communication tools in modern information society. In addition, network communication is popular as well. It is especially widely welcomed by the youth. A great number of people communicate with others on the Internet by using software (软件), such as QQ, Wechat, BBS and MMS. Using software is easy. A computer which is connected to the network is enough. In China, Wechat has become the most popular communication software nowadays.

She reached down to pick them up, and quickly realized there were many more tiny pieces than she could deal with. It seemed impossible to clean them all up. Du, 12 years old at the time, tried to solve the problem like any good scientist—first, by doing a little research. That’s how she learned that 8 million tons of plastics end up in the oceans every year. Then she got to work building something that could help solve the problem; a remote-operated vehicle(遥控潜水器), or ROV. Her ROV can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor. The actually cool part of Du’s ROV is the detection(探测) system. She uses a camera along with three different kinds of light to find the plastics. She also uses visible(可见的) light to find unnatural colors that might make the plastics stand out. “She has a very good engineering sense to break down a problem like this and then go after it,” says engineer Casey Machado. “It sounds simple, but it’s a level of thinking that’s really amazing. ” Du started attending public events and workshops at a university when she was five years old, and so she picked up the engineering skills necessary to build her ROV. She says actually getting her ROV to move through water well was not easy. She failed many times, but she never gave up trying and testing. When asked about future plans, she mentions wanting to address the effects of climate(气候) change. “I think there are a lot of problems that could be solved with new inventions,” says Du. Du thanks her parents, who for years have taken her to student outreach activities, for supporting her interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). She says she has been able to meet students and scientists there. “I know I want to be an engineer because I like building things to help solve world problems,” says Du. “But I’m not sure what kind of engineer I want to be yet.” 1．What did Anna Du notice while walking along the beach? ____________________________________________________________________ 2．How old was Du when she did a little research to solve the problem? ____________________________________________________________________ 3．What can Du’s ROV do? ____________________________________________________________________ 4．Why does Du want to be an engineer in the future? ____________________________________________________________________ 5．What made Du succeed in building her ROV? ____________________________________________________________________ 【答案】1．She noticed plastics. 2．She was 12 years old. 3．It can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor. 4．Because she likes building things to help solve world problems. 5．Her good engineering sense to break down a problem, the engineering skills necessary to build it, her persistence(not giving up) and her parents' support.（另外答出the careful observation, the awareness of protecting the oceans也可酌情给分） 【分析】文章大意：本文主要讲Anna Du十二岁时就制作了自己的遥控潜水器，她从小就对STEM感兴趣，长大后想成为一名工程师，帮助解决世界问题。 1．根据第1段中“Anna Du was walking along the beach when she noticed plastics there.”可知Anna Du在海滩散步的时候注意到了塑料。故答案为：She noticed plastics. 2．根据第2段中“Du, 12 years old at the time, tried to solve the problem like any good scientist—first, by doing a little research.”可知Du做了一点调查来解决这个问题的时候，她12岁了。故答案为She was 12 years old. 3．根据第3段中“Her ROV can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor.”可知Du的ROV能够在水中移动，找到海底的塑料。故答案为：It can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor. 4．根据最后一段中Du的话“I know I want to be an engineer because I like building things to help solve world problems”可知她想要成为一名工程师是因为她喜欢制造东西来帮助解决世界问题。故答案为：Because she likes building things to help solve world problems. 5．根据第5段中“She has a very good engineering sense to break down a problem like this and then go after it”可知她在解决问题方面有良好工程悟性；根据第6段中“and so she picked up the engineering skills necessary to build her ROV”可知她学会了建造ROV所需的工程技术；根据第6段中“She failed many times, but        she never gave up trying and testing.”可知她不轻言放弃；根据倒数第2段中“Du thanks her parents, who for years have taken her to student outreach activities, for supporting her interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).”可知Du的父母很支持她。这几点都是她成功制作ROV的重要因素。故答案为：Her good engineering sense to break down a problem, the engineering skills necessary to build it, her persistence(not giving up) and her parents' support.（另外答出the careful observation, the awareness of protecting the oceans也可酌情给分） B Antarctica (南极洲) is known for being a large land of ice and snow, a place too cold for most life. However, the land is slowly starting to turn warm. According to The Guardian, the Antarctic has shown a new high temperature for the first time on record, raising fears of climate change in the world’s coldest place. On Feb. 9, Brazilian researchers at Seymour Island reported a temperature of 20.75 ℃ on the icy land of Antarctica. It was almost a full degree higher than the past record of 19.8 ℃, taken on Signy Island in January 1982. This record-breaking reading (数据) was taken at a watch station in the northern part of Antarctica. According to Brazilian scientist Carlos Schaefer, the temperature was recorded during a 20-year-long research project. The purpose of this project is to study the effect that climate change has on the permafrost (永冻土) within the area. Permafrost is the earth that stays icy for at least two years. Although this is a first record high for Antarctica, Schaefer pointed out that “We can’t use this to predict climate changes in the future. It’s simply a sign that something different is happening in that area.” But in fact, the last high temperature reading was around 19 ℃. These higher temperatures can cause ice in Antarctic area to melt (融化). This melted ice leads to a rise in sea levels that can put the coast areas in danger. It’s believed to be behind an alarming drop of more than 50 percent in the number of penguins, which are dependent on sea ice. Like American writer Ernest Hemingway once said, “The Earth is a fine place and worth fighting for.” We should do everything we can to help save our planet. Otherwise, it may become too hot for us to live in. 根据短文内容，回答问题。 6．What has happened to the Antarctica leading to fears of climate change again? 7．Who reported a new high temperature for the first time on record in the Antarctica? 8．What is the research project for according to the passage? 9．How can higher temperatures influence coast areas? 10．What can you learn from the last paragraph? 【答案】6．A new record-breaking temperature of 20.75℃ was recorded there./It has shown a new high temperature for the first time on record. 7．Brazilian researchers at Seymour Island. 8．It is for studying the effect that climate change has on the permafrost within the northern part of Antarctica. 9．They can put the coast areas in danger by causing ice in Antarctic area to melt which leads to a rise in sea levels. 10．We should do everything we can to help save our planet before it becomes too hot for us to live in. 【导语】本文讲了南极洲是一个冰雪覆盖的大洲，然而，这片土地开始慢慢地变暖，详细地介绍了它对地球的影响。 6．根据“On Feb. 9, Brazilian researchers at Seymour Island reported a temperature of 20.75℃ on the icy land of Antarctica.”可知，近期研究者测量记录了南极洲有史以来20.75℃这一新的高温，让人们产生气候变暖的担忧。故填A new record-breaking temperature of 20.75℃ was recorded there./It has shown a new high temperature for the first time on record. 7．根据“On Feb. 9, Brazilian researchers at Seymour Island reported a temperature of 20.75℃ on the icy land of Antarctica.”可知，巴西研究人员记录了南极洲20.75℃这一新的高温。故填Brazilian researchers at Seymour Island. 8．根据“The purpose of this project is to study the effect that climate change has on the permafrost (永冻土) within the area. Permafrost is the earth that stays icy for at least two years.”可知，该研究项目旨在研究气候变化对南极洲北部永冻土的影响。故填It is for studying the effect that climate change has on the permafrost within the northern part of Antarctica. 9．根据“These higher temperatures can cause ice in Antarctic area to melt (融化). This melted ice leads to a rise in sea levels that can put the coast areas in danger. It’s believed to be behind an alarming drop of more than 50 percent in the number of penguins, which are dependent on sea ice.”可知，高温使南极地区冰雪融化继而使海平面增高，威胁到沿海地区。故填They can put the coast areas in danger by causing ice in Antarctic area to melt which leads to a rise in sea levels. 10．根据“We should do everything we can to help save our planet. Otherwise, it may become too hot for us to live in.”可知，在地球太热之前人类应该努力呵护地球。故填We should do everything we can to help save our planet before it becomes too hot for us to live in.

They would rather grumble afterward. This is because Britons hate to put someone out and cause a scene. Margolis writes: “For instance, I’m much more comfortable just leaving that lump of raw chicken on my plate [instead of complaining to restaurant staff]. But beware: if this kind of thing happens when you’re dining with an American, they will most likely speak up on your behalf and not understand why you find this humiliating.” In a BBC blog post comparing cultural differences between the UK and the US, Margolis mentions a few other things that Americans like to do that are offensive to Britons. Not making introductions Americans rarely remember to introduce a new friend to their friends at parties. Strangers are supposed to introduce themselves. But Margolis says most Britons dislike this approach because “talking to strangers without a facilitator gives them a stomachache”. ‘Quite’ good Using “quite” to mean “very” happens a lot in the US. But if you are invited to a dinner party in a British household, don’t describe the meal as “quite good” if you want to express high praise. To Britons’ ears, “quite” detracts from the “good”: the meal was passable but could have been better. Money Talk Americans can talk about money subjects for hours without feeling uncomfortable. For Britons, says Margolis: “talking about how much we make is unthinkable - only less so than discussing our feelings”. Over-politeness In the US, it is not unusual to be greeted by a perfect stranger as “honey” or “sweetie”. But Margolis says Britons find put-on friendliness, especially in stores, deeply irritating. “It’s not that I want shop assistants to be actively rude. But neither do I want to expend energy responding to someone who’s been paid to ask: ‘How are you today?’” says Margolis. 1．When do Britons prefer to do if they want to complain something? 2．How many examples does the writer tell us? 3．Why do most Britons dislike the American approach of strangers introducing themselves at parties? 4．What does the use of the word "quite" imply when describing a meal in a British household? 5．What do Britons think of “honey” or “sweetie” in stores? 【答案】1．They like to complain afterward instead of in the moment. 2．Four. 3．Because talking to strangers without a facilitator makes them uncomfortable. 4．In a British household, using "quite" to describe a meal means that the meal was passable but could have been better, and it detracts from the overall praise. 5．They feel very irritating. 【导语】通过四个不同的例子讲述英美人的处事方式的不同。 1．文章第一段中提到，英国人可能很喜欢抱怨，但他们很少在当下这样做。他们宁愿事后抱怨。故填They like to complain afterward instead of in the moment. 2．文章共有四个小标题，故从四个例子讲述英美人处事方式的不同。故填Four. 3．文章第一个小标题提到，大多数英国人不喜欢这种方式，因为在没有中介的情况下与陌生人交谈会让他们感到不适。故填Because talking to strangers without a facilitator makes them uncomfortable. 4．文章第二个小标题提到，在英国家庭中，用“quite”形容一顿饭意味着这顿饭还算可以，但可能还有改进的空间，而且这会减弱对饭菜的整体赞美。故填In a British household, using "quite" to describe a meal means that the meal was passable but could have been better, and it detracts from the overall praise. 5．文章最后一段提到，英国人觉得假装的友善非常令人恼火，尤其是在商店里。故填They feel very irritating.

A night that begins with promise ends up going very wrong for the shy and mild-mannered Naz, played by Riz Ahmed. He takes his father’s cab without permission to go to a party in Manhattan, hoping to meet girls. And when an attractive, but troubled, young woman named Andrea Cornish gets into the cab believing he’s on duty, Naz can’t turn her away. But happiness soon turns to horror. After a debauched night of sex and drugs at her place, Nasir wakes up to find Andrea dead, the victim of multiple stab wounds. Did he kill her? Later-shown ample evidence seems to confirm that he did, but we don’t know for sure. Based on the BBC series Criminal Justice (2008), the eight-part show is on the surface procedural, yet it has something of the feel of the crime-based podcast Serial (2014-) or the Netflix documentary Making a Murderer (2015-) as it explores a tangled case, with elements of racism and a justice system overburdened by human failings. “Growing up as a Muslim-American, post-9/11, you kind of have a very (unpleasant) relationship toward the authorities; you are told you are automatically a suspect,” Ahmed says. “It certainly does play into what you can expect in the criminal justice system. People view you as a threat.” Rather than present a carousel of would-be killers as so many prime-time whodunits are prone to do, The Night Of invites the viewer to ponder the fate of its single key suspect without trying to pull the wool over their eyes in the process. Did he do it? If he didn’t, who did and why? Is the soon-to-be-retired police detective (Bill Camp) making too many easy assumptions? Will the anti-Muslim tensions in the community further hamper Nasir’s chances of acquittal? The Night Of dutifully delves into the social and political undertones present in American criminal cases – along with the emotional carnage they cause – as it explores the police investigation and legal proceedings. And it takes on added layers when it follows Nasir to prison, where he is the proverbial fish out of water. The miniseries unfolds in leisurely fashion – maybe too leisurely for some viewers. But it’s hard not to admire how carefully observed and precisely rendered the scenes are. You could do worse than to lock yourself away to watch this carefully put together masterpiece. 6．What is the main character’s name in The Night Of? 7．What event causes the night to go wrong for Naz? 8．How many parts are there in The Night Of? 9．What does The Night Of mainly talk about? 10．Who will be unhappy after 9/11 in America? 【答案】6．Nasir “Naz” Khan. 7．Naz takes his father’s cab without permission to go to a party in Manhattan. 8．Eight. 9．It talks about the social and political undertones present in American criminal cases and the police investigation and legal proceedings. 10．Muslim-Americans. 【导语】本文简述HBO最新电视剧《罪夜之奔》的故事梗概和它所传达的想法。 6．由第一段第一句“The Night Of will keep you on edge as it unfolds the fate of Nasir “Naz” Khan”可知“《罪夜之奔》揭示了纳西尔“纳兹”汗的命运”。故答案为Nasir “Naz” Khan. 7．由第二段第二句话“He takes his father’s cab without permission to go to a party in Manhattan”可知“Naz擅自乘坐父亲的出租车去曼哈顿参加一个派对”故答案为Naz takes his father’s cab without permission to go to a party in Manhattan. 8．由第四段第一句“Based on the BBC series Criminal Justice (2008), the eight-part show is on the surface procedural l”可知“Based on the BBC series Criminal Justice (2008), the eight-part show is on the surface procedural”故答案为Eight. 9．由倒数第二段第一句“The Night Of dutifully delves into the social and political undertones present in American criminal cases … as it explores the police investigation and legal proceedings.”可知“《罪夜之奔》深入研究了美国刑事案件中存在的社会和政治色彩……因为它探讨了警方的调查和法律程序。”故答案为It talks about the social and political undertones present in American criminal cases and the police investigation and legal proceedings. 10．由第五段第一句“Growing up as a Muslim-American, post-9/11, you kind of have a very (unpleasant) relationship toward the authorities”可知“作为一个穆斯林美国人，在9/11之后，你对当局有一种非常（不愉快）的关系”故答案为Muslim-Americans. 7 / 10 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 限时练习：40min 完成时间： 月 日 天气： 寒假作业10 任务型阅读-阅读回答问题特训 1.常见关键词与替换词 原文常见词/短语 转换词/短语 词性/用法示例 important essential; necessary 形容词 It is important to read more. → It is necessary to read more. very quite; rather; extremely 副词 The film is very interesting. → The film is quite interesting. because since; as; for the reason that 连词/短语 He failed because he was lazy. → He failed since he was lazy. want to would like to; intend to 动词短语 I want to visit Beijing. → I intend to visit Beijing. take part in participate in; join in 动词短语 She took part in the competition. → She participated in the competition. look after take care of; care for 动词短语 Please look after my cat. → Please take care of my cat. finally at last; in the end 副词 Finally, they won the game. → In the end, they won the game. buy purchase 动词 My mother bought a new dress. → My mother purchased a new dress. use make use of; employ 动词/短语 We use computers to study. → We make use of computers to study. help give a hand to; assist 动词/短语 He helped his classmate. → He assisted his classmate. solve work out; settle 动词 She solved the problem. → She worked out the problem. get to arrive at; reach 动词短语/动词 We got to the station at 9 a.m. → We arrived at the station at 9 a.m. be good at do well in 短语 He is good at English. → He does well in English. a lot of many; much; plenty of 限定词 There are a lot of books. → There are many books. in my opinion from my point of view; personally 短语 In my opinion, it’s a good idea. → Personally, it’s a good idea. 解｜题｜技｜巧 中考任务型阅读（阅读回答问题）做题技巧 一、 审题定位，精准找答案 1. 先题后文，圈划关键词 读题时划出疑问词（what/who/why/when/where/how）、专有名词（人名、地名、时间）、数字、核心名词或动词，带着关键词快速扫读原文，锁定答案所在的句子或段落。 2. 定位原则：题文同序 中考任务型阅读的题目顺序通常和原文信息出现的顺序一致，第一题答案一般在文章前半部分，后续题目依次往后查找，避免盲目通读。 二、 提炼加工，规范写答案 1. 直接摘抄：简洁准确 若原文有直接对应的答案，摘抄时剔除冗余修饰词（如形容词、副词），保留核心成分（主谓宾/主系表），同时注意人称、时态要和问题一致。 例：问题 "When did the sports meeting start?" 原文 "The school sports meeting started at 8:00 a.m. last Friday." → 答案：At 8:00 a.m. last Friday. 2. 同义转换：避免照搬 若原文无直接答案，需根据原文意思进行同义替换，注意词性、句型的转换。 - 词性转换：名词→动词（如 importance → important）、形容词→副词（如 quick → quickly） - 句型转换：主动句→被动句、陈述句→疑问句的答句形式 例：问题 "What made the boy happy?" 原文 "The boy felt happy because he got a gift from his father." → 答案：Getting a gift from his father. - 人称转换 3. 归纳总结：高度概括 针对 "What's the main idea of the passage?" 或需要总结多个细节的题目，需整合原文要点，用简洁的句子概括，避免遗漏核心信息。 三、 检查核对，减少失分点 1. 格式检查 - 疑问句的答案要符合句式要求（如why开头的问题，答案常用because引导）； - 数字、时间、地名的书写要和原文一致； - 专有名词首字母大写，句子结尾加标点。 2. 语法检查 - 主谓一致、时态正确（原文用一般过去时，答案不能用一般现在时）； - 名词单复数、代词指代准确； - 避免语法错误（如冠词漏加、介词误用）。 3. 字数检查 部分题目会限制答案字数，需严格按照要求精简，超出字数会酌情扣分。 四、 避坑指南 1. 警惕干扰信息：原文中与关键词形似但意思不同的句子，不要误抄。 2. 杜绝主观臆断：答案必须基于原文，不能根据自己的常识或猜测作答。 3. 注意否定词陷阱：原文中出现 not/never/hardly 等词时，答案要体现否定含义，避免答反。 三层必刷：巩固提升+能力培优+创新题型（题目难度逐层递增） 一、任务型阅读（每题2分，共46分） A We moved to a beautiful two-storey (两层) old house. The house was built in 1905. It was repaired in 1997. At first, really small things began to happen that didn’t make me believe that anything was wrong, but as time went on, things started becoming stranger and stranger. Early on, something was missing, and later would be found somewhere else. I just thought I had forgotten where I put it, or perhaps my daughter was playing around with things. Then later on I would hear strange sounds when nobody was at home but me...Yet it was an old house, and sometimes old houses did make small noises. So again, I didn’t really mind. Then things that I couldn’t explain started happening. It was last November and I was at home alone cleaning the house. When I was sweeping the kitchen floor, I felt a very cold wind blow my hair. I thought the kitchen window must have been opened, but when I checked it, it was closed. The windows were new, and there was no way any cold air came in. We all felt very strange and moved away from there in October, 2002. I was never really frightened (害怕的). It was just strange, like something or someone was trying to get my attention or something. 1．How many floors did the old house have? 2．When was the old house repaired? 3．What happened when the writer was at home alone according to Paragraph 2? 4．What was the writer doing when he/she felt a cold wind blow his/her hair? 5．How did the writer feel about the old house?

I could remember lots of words and knew grammar rules, but speaking was difficult. I now feel a lot more confident about speaking, so here are some ideas that I have taken from my own experience. Don’t worry about making mistakes. Other people will still know your meaning and they probably won’t notice your mistakes. Use every chance you get to speak. For example, it’s a good idea to use only English in class and not to speak to your classmates in your own language. At home, you should also try practicing new words and grammar learnt in class. Think about extra speaking practice outside the classroom. You can join a conversation group, such as the chat groups in the study centre. They are free to join. Practice speaking online. There are lots of websites where you can communicate with someone from all around the world. I hope this helps you and please come to me if you have other problems.

China held its largest military parade(阅兵仪式) in Tian’anmen Square on October 1st. People from home and abroad watched the military parade through different ways. They were all surprised at China’s progress. Looking back at the past, the great changes have taken place in China. In the past, most people lived a hard life. Many people died of wars and hunger. Generations(几代人) of the family ever lived in a very small house. Usually, children couldn’t have their own rooms and the younger seldom had new clothes. During the 1960s to 1970s, China fell far behind because of many kinds of reasons. However, in 1978, China started to carry out the reform(改革) and opening-up policy(政策). It was an important turning point for Chinese people. Since then, China has developed rapidly. Now, people’s life is very different from that in the past. The country tries its best to help poor areas so that all Chinese people can live a good and happy life. China also pays great attention to compulsory(义务的) education. Everything is changing in a surprising way. So we have very good reasons to believe that China’s future will be better and better. 9．Why was the largest military parade held in Tian’anmen Square on October 1st, 2019? 10．How did people from home and abroad feel about China’s progress? 11．What did many people in China die of in the past? 12．When did China start to carry out the reform and opening-up policy? 13．What does China also pay great attention to now? D （21-22九年级上·山东临沂·期中）With the rapid development of science and technology, the ways of communication among people have changed a lot in the past years. As we all know, in ancient times, people communicated with others who were far away only by writing letters. It took a very long time to get the message. In the 19th century, telegraph was invented, but it was not widely used. The letter was still the commonest way at that time. In 1836, John Coker invented the first electromagnetic telegraph (电磁电报机) in the world, and then telegraph came into being and was popular. It was much faster than letters, bringing great convenience to people. As time goes by, telephones become increasingly widely used. Now, phones have been developed as mobile phones, fixed telephones, Internet telephones and other categories. They are important communication tools in modern information society. In addition, network communication is popular as well. It is especially widely welcomed by the youth. A great number of people communicate with others on the Internet by using software (软件), such as QQ, Wechat, BBS and MMS. Using software is easy. A computer which is connected to the network is enough. In China, Wechat has become the most popular communication software nowadays. Wechat, known as Weixin in China, is a mobile phone text and voice messaging communication software which is developed by Tencent. People who make video calls can not only hear the sound, but also see the people they talk to. 阅读短文，回答下列问题。 14．How did people communicate with others in ancient times? 15．When was the telegraph invented? 16．Who invented the first electromagnetic telegraph in 1836? 17．How many kinds of communication software are listed in the passage? 18．What kind of communication software is Wechat?

This patient’s whole family has been infected with coronavirus—her mother and brother have already died and her father is still seriously ill. I was deeply moved by her courage and understood for the first time in my life the weight of my duty. I have to help others to live on. When I treated my first coronavirus patient on January 26th, my only worry was that my knowledge in treating coronavirus patients was not enough. Many friends of mine keep asking why I’m not frightened. I think it takes no special courage to treat coronavirus. It is my duty to save other people’s lives and I was trained to do this. When you see a family suffering from coronavirus and seriously sick patients worrying about their dying relatives, the only thing you want to do is to try to help them. I treat coronavirus patients as ordinary patients, never making them feel they are dangerous. I believe this mental (精神的) support is important to those suffering from loneliness and despair.

She reached down to pick them up, and quickly realized there were many more tiny pieces than she could deal with. It seemed impossible to clean them all up. Du, 12 years old at the time, tried to solve the problem like any good scientist—first, by doing a little research. That’s how she learned that 8 million tons of plastics end up in the oceans every year. Then she got to work building something that could help solve the problem; a remote-operated vehicle(遥控潜水器), or ROV. Her ROV can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor. The actually cool part of Du’s ROV is the detection(探测) system. She uses a camera along with three different kinds of light to find the plastics. She also uses visible(可见的) light to find unnatural colors that might make the plastics stand out. “She has a very good engineering sense to break down a problem like this and then go after it,” says engineer Casey Machado. “It sounds simple, but it’s a level of thinking that’s really amazing. ” Du started attending public events and workshops at a university when she was five years old, and so she picked up the engineering skills necessary to build her ROV. She says actually getting her ROV to move through water well was not easy. She failed many times, but she never gave up trying and testing. When asked about future plans, she mentions wanting to address the effects of climate(气候) change. “I think there are a lot of problems that could be solved with new inventions,” says Du. Du thanks her parents, who for years have taken her to student outreach activities, for supporting her interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). She says she has been able to meet students and scientists there. “I know I want to be an engineer because I like building things to help solve world problems,” says Du. “But I’m not sure what kind of engineer I want to be yet.” 1．What did Anna Du notice while walking along the beach? ____________________________________________________________________ 2．How old was Du when she did a little research to solve the problem? ____________________________________________________________________ 3．What can Du’s ROV do? ____________________________________________________________________ 4．Why does Du want to be an engineer in the future? ____________________________________________________________________ 5．What made Du succeed in building her ROV? ____________________________________________________________________ B Antarctica (南极洲) is known for being a large land of ice and snow, a place too cold for most life. However, the land is slowly starting to turn warm. According to The Guardian, the Antarctic has shown a new high temperature for the first time on record, raising fears of climate change in the world’s coldest place. On Feb. 9, Brazilian researchers at Seymour Island reported a temperature of 20.75 ℃ on the icy land of Antarctica. It was almost a full degree higher than the past record of 19.8 ℃, taken on Signy Island in January 1982. This record-breaking reading (数据) was taken at a watch station in the northern part of Antarctica. According to Brazilian scientist Carlos Schaefer, the temperature was recorded during a 20-year-long research project. The purpose of this project is to study the effect that climate change has on the permafrost (永冻土) within the area. Permafrost is the earth that stays icy for at least two years. Although this is a first record high for Antarctica, Schaefer pointed out that “We can’t use this to predict climate changes in the future. It’s simply a sign that something different is happening in that area.” But in fact, the last high temperature reading was around 19 ℃. These higher temperatures can cause ice in Antarctic area to melt (融化). This melted ice leads to a rise in sea levels that can put the coast areas in danger. It’s believed to be behind an alarming drop of more than 50 percent in the number of penguins, which are dependent on sea ice. Like American writer Ernest Hemingway once said, “The Earth is a fine place and worth fighting for.” We should do everything we can to help save our planet. Otherwise, it may become too hot for us to live in. 根据短文内容，回答问题。 6．What has happened to the Antarctica leading to fears of climate change again? 7．Who reported a new high temperature for the first time on record in the Antarctica? 8．What is the research project for according to the passage? 9．How can higher temperatures influence coast areas? 10．What can you learn from the last paragraph?

Someone ordered 50 cups of warm porridge (粥) through Meituan App and noted “Please give the porridge to those sanitation (环卫) workers who are clearing snow on the road nearby and those delivery (递送) men who are delivering food.” When the porridge shop owner received the order, he was moved by the note and provided 60 cups. The story didn’t end here. As soon as the food delivery man got the big order, he shared it with his workmates so that they could also get paid. Finally, Meituan returned the money to the porridge buyer, Mr. Zhang and gave him a reward of Y500. Although he had to raise his newly-born baby and pay for his house every month, Mr. Zhang said he would surely continue delivering love. The kind help also encouraged many other citizens in Kaifeng. This summer, volunteers are sending cool drinks every day. Similar stories have happened in many other places in China. Outdoor workers in different cities are able to enjoy free and caring help. Lots of “love posts” are providing “coolness” in hot summer and “warmth” in cold winter.

They would rather grumble afterward. This is because Britons hate to put someone out and cause a scene. Margolis writes: “For instance, I’m much more comfortable just leaving that lump of raw chicken on my plate [instead of complaining to restaurant staff]. But beware: if this kind of thing happens when you’re dining with an American, they will most likely speak up on your behalf and not understand why you find this humiliating.” In a BBC blog post comparing cultural differences between the UK and the US, Margolis mentions a few other things that Americans like to do that are offensive to Britons.
