Do you believe picking up rubbish has become a world competition? It might sound surprising, but it’s true. In November 2023, the first Rubbish Collection World Cup was held in Asia, drawing teams from 21 countries across the world. Following the competition rules, each team was given 60 minutes to collect as much rubbish as possible. After a lot of efforts, Britain finally won the first prize. A team member from Britain shared, “We hope more people around the world will pay attention to environmental problems and join hands to protect our planet.” Ken, the organizer of this special event, shared the story behind his idea in an interview. Several years ago, he was shocked to find that many sea animals lost their lives after eating plastic bags and other rubbish by the bank. Since then, he has made it a daily habit to pick up rubbish on his way to the beach every morning. “Picking up a piece of rubbish may save a turtle’s life. It’s also a simple way to keep the beach clean,” Ken said. In his eyes, changing people’s opinions towards rubbish was far more important than winning a competition. “Picking up rubbish is meaningful and helpful,” Ken added. “Now, I am glad to hear that more people take part in it to protect our environment, and this is the best prize we could ever get.” 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．When was the first Rubbish Collection World Cup held? 2．Which team won the competition? 3．How did Ken feel after he found many sea animals lost their lives? 4．What did Ken think was more important than winning the competition? 5．What does Ken hope to see? 【答案】1．In November 2. 3．Britain. 4．Shocked. 5．Changing people’s attitudes towards rubbish. 6．He hopes to see more people take part in protecting the environment. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了首届垃圾收集世界杯的举办情况，并讲述了组织者Ken发起该活动的初衷——通过捡垃圾行动唤醒人们的环保意识，保护海洋生物与地球环境。 1．根据“In November 2023, the first Rubbish Collection World Cup was held in Asia”可知，首届垃圾收集世界杯于2023年11月举办，故填In November 2023. 2．根据“After a lot of efforts, Britain finally won the first prize”可知，英国队获胜，故填Britain. 3．根据“Several years ago, he was shocked to find that many sea animals lost their lives...”可知，Ken感到震惊，故填Shocked. 4．根据“In his eyes, changing people’s opinions towards rubbish was far more important than winning a competition”可知，Ken认为改变人们对垃圾的看法更重要，故填Changing people’s attitudes towards rubbish. 5．根据“Now, I am glad to hear that more people take part in it to protect our environment...”可推知Ken希望更多人参与环保，结合英国队员的话及肯的行动，核心是希望更多人关注环境并参与保护，故填He hopes to see more people take part in protecting the environment. 阅读短文，简略回答问题。 Have you ever heard of e-waste (electronic waste) , which can be produced every day? Old computers, MP4 players and mobile phones can become e-waste. How do you deal with them when they’re broken or you want a new one? Most people just throw them away. With the development of electronic industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to a survey by the United Nations in 2024, people around the world produced 62 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 13.8 million tons. China was the biggest waster, producing 14 million tons. The U.S. came second, with 7.5 million tons. It’s important to pay attention to e- waste. It can either be valuable or harmful, depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban (城市的) mine. Why? The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals (有毒化学物质) can get into the earth or air, influencing the environment and people’s health.

Xu Xiake was a famous geographer from China’s Ming Dynasty. Unlike scholars (学者) of his time who only studied books, Xu believed true knowledge came from seeing the world in person. Born in 1587, Xu started traveling when he was 26. For over 30 years, he walked across almost half of China, visiting faraway mountains, rivers, and forests. He traveled on foot or by simple boats, facing dangers like wild animals. During his travels, Xu Xiake kept detailed diaries. In them, he wrote about everything he saw—the heights of mountains, the lengths of rivers, and how the weather influenced plants and animals. He also corrected old maps, showing that some famous rivers had different sources (来源) than people thought. What’s more, he described cultural treasures—ancient buildings, local festivals, and daily lives in villages. After his death, Xu’s notes were collected into a book called Xu Xiake’s Travel Diaries. This book becomes one of China’s greatest scientific works. And it also influences the places outside China. So far, translated into English and six other languages, the book has shown the world China’s breathtaking beauty and deep cultural history. Today, Xu is known as a pioneer of fieldwork (实地考察的先驱). Xu Xiake’s Travel Diaries helps develop China’s geographical study, opening a window to China’s natural wonders and traditions. As Dr. Needham, a scientist from London, noted, “Xu Xiake didn’t just explore (探索) China—he helped the world understand the beautiful country.” 1．In which year did Xu Xiake start traveling? 2．What did Xu Xiake write in his diaries according to paragraph 2? 3．How many language versions (版本) of Xu Xiake’s Travel Diaries have there been up to now? 4．Which country does Dr. Needham come from? 5．Do you want to be a traveler like Xu Xiake, and why? 【答案】1．In 2. 3．Everything he saw, like mountains, rivers, weather, and cultural treasures. 4．Seven/5. 6．The UK./England. 7．Yes, because I love exploring and learning about different cultures and places. 【导语】本文介绍了中国古代著名的地理学家和旅行家徐霞客的生平事迹、旅行经历及其著作《徐霞客游记》的重要影响。 1．根据“Born in 1587, Xu started traveling when he was 26.”可知，徐霞客出生于1587年，26岁开始旅行，因此开始旅行的年份是1587+26=1613年。故填In 1613. 2．根据“In them, he wrote about everything he saw—the heights of mountains, the lengths of rivers, and how the weather influenced plants and animals. He also corrected old maps... What’s more, he described cultural treasures...”可知，他在日记中记录了他所见的一切，包括山川、河流、天气、文化宝藏等。故填Everything he saw, like mountains, rivers, weather, and cultural treasures. 3．根据“So far, translated into English and six other languages”可知，该书已被翻译成英语和其他六种语言，因此共有7种语言版本。故填Seven/7. 4．根据“As Dr. Needham, a scientist from London, noted”可知，李约瑟博士来自伦敦，即英国。故填The UK./England. 5．本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一。可以回答想成为像他一样的旅行家，因为喜欢探索和学习不同的文化和地方；也可以回答不想，因为旅行充满危险和艰辛。故填Yes, because I love exploring and learning about different cultures and places. 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Kristen Tapping, a student from London South Bank University, has invented a bike wheel that can help clean pollution in the air. It’s called Rolloe. The wheel uses fins (尾翼) to pull in air as it turns. It then uses filters (过滤器) to take in polluted air and give off clean air back into the environment. The wheel can filter more air if it goes faster, although it still works at low speeds (速度). Tapping said users would need to change the filter every week or after about 250 kilometers, to make sure the wheel continues to work well. The wheel fits in the front of a standard (标准的) bike and weighs about one kilogram. Tapping said she was encouraged to create the wheel when she was biking around London. “In traffic, you always notice the pollution, the heat, the gases and the smell,” she said. She predicts that if 10 percent of the riders in London had a Rolloe on their bike, they could filter about 266,865 m³ of air a day, although this has yet to be tested. A recent report shows that London’s health costs because of air pollution are the highest among all the European cities. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also said that outdoor air pollution causes about 4.2 million deaths around the world each year. Tapping wants to use the wheel on shared bike projects at first, with the aim of making the wheels available for all bikes to use. She says she would also like to create a wheel that would fit in the back of a bike, as well as making them available in different sizes. 1．What does the wheel use filters to do? 2．When does the user need to change the filter? 3．Where does the wheel fit? 4．Why are London’s health costs the highest among all the European cities? 5．What do you think of the wheel? Why do you think so? 【答案】1．To take in polluted air and give off clean air. 2．Every week or after about 250 kilometers. 3．In the front of a standard bike. 4．Because of air pollution. 5．I think it’s creative and practical because it helps reduce air pollution in a simple way. 【导语】本文介绍了伦敦大学生Kristen Tapping发明的空气净化自行车轮Rolloe，通过过滤器吸附污染物释放洁净空气，并阐述了该发明对改善城市空气污染的潜在价值及未来应用前景。 1．根据“It then uses filters to take in polluted air and give off clean air back into the environment.”可知，过滤器用于吸入污染空气并释放洁净空气。故填To take in polluted air and give off clean air. 2．根据“users would need to change the filter every week or after about 250 kilometers”可知，需每周或每250公里更换过滤器。故填Every week or after about 250 kilometers. 3．根据“The wheel fits in the front of a standard bike”可知，车轮安装在标准自行车前轮位置。故填In the front of a standard bike. 4．根据“London’s health costs because of air pollution are the highest”可知，伦敦健康成本最高是由于空气污染。故填Because of air pollution. 5．本题为开放性作答。可从环保价值、创新性等角度评价，示例强调了其简单实用的治污特点。故填I think it’s creative and practical because it helps reduce air pollution in a simple way. 阅读短文，并用英语回答问题。 Reading is a wonderful habit to develop. It is a great thing to do when you are bored. Here are some ways to develop the habit. Start by reading a few minutes every day. 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 trouble if you do not like the book. Reading books that you enjoy will help you stick to (坚持) your habit and 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 many ways are there to develop the reading habit in the passage? . 2．How often does the writer suggest reading? . 3．What will remind you to read every day? . 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? . 5．Do you think it is important to have a good reading habit?

From its thousands of rooms to its many different beautiful collections, there’s no doubt it’s one of China’s most popular places for tourists. But even more than 600 years after it was built, it’s still managing to serve up surprises. Since it was built during the Ming Dynasty, it’s said that the Forbidden City has survived (幸免于难) more than 200 earthquakes. Recently, a television programmed by UK broadcaster Channel 4 has studied the skills of the ancient building’s designers. A group of Chinese engineers were shown building a model of one of the Forbidden City’s palaces, at one-fifth of the size. To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is, the model was put to a test. In the test, they simulated (模拟) an earthquake of 9.5 on the Richter scale. Instead of falling apart, the model was just moved gently during the test. According to experts, the answer to the Forbidden City’s strength, as well as other ancient Chinese structures’, lies in dougong—a centuries-old building method invented in China. This is the name for special brackets (构件) on buildings. Despite being held together without any nails or glue, the brackets are perfect at keeping structures together when the weather gets terrible. “Dougong design is an important earthquake-resistant (抗震的) feature of classical Chinese structures because the shape will be changed under pressure, much like the shock absorbers (减震器) of a car,” according to Chinese National Geography. “Ancient Chinese people created structures that were both strong and good-looking by using dougong, showing their advanced understanding of mathematics, architecture, materials, and structural science.” The Forbidden City draws visitors because of its rich history and culture, but perhaps it should add one more thing to its list of attractions: earthquake shelter. 1．When was the Forbidden City built? 2．Why was the model of a palace put to a test in the UK television programme? 3．What is dougong? 4．What is the passage mainly about? Would you like to visit the Forbidden City? Why or why not? 【答案】1．More than six hundred years ago./During the Ming Dynasty. 2．To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is. 3．A centuries-old building method invented in China. 4．It’s mainly about a special building method used in ancient Chinese buildings and its advantages. Yes, I’d like to visit the Forbidden City because I can learn about a centuries-old building method invented in China and I can also experience its long history and rich culture. 【导语】本文介绍了故宫在经历600多年仍能屹立不倒的秘密——中国古代建筑的“斗拱”结构，并讲述了这一结构在抗震方面的独特作用。 1．根据“But even more than 600 years after it was built, it’s still managing to serve up surprises.”可知，紫禁城修建于600多年前的明朝。故填More than six hundred years ago./During the Ming Dynasty. 2．根据“To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is, the model was put to a test.”可知，模型被测试是为了展示中国古代建筑的坚固性。故填To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is. 3．根据“dougong—a centuries-old building method invented in China”可知，斗拱是一种古老的中国建筑方法。故填A centuries-old building method invented in China. 4．开放性试题，回答合理即可。参考答案为：It’s mainly about a special building method used in ancient Chinese buildings and its advantages. Yes, I’d like to visit the Forbidden City because I can learn about a centuries-old building method invented in China and I can also experience its long history and rich culture. Asking for directions is important. However, people become confused (困惑的) easily when listening to someone giving directions. So pay careful attention when listening to someone showing directions. For example, he or she may tell you, “Go down the street and turn right at the first crossing. Walk two miles, and then you will find a theater and China Bank is across from the theater.” After listening to someone providing directions in English, are you clear? Here is some advice to help you remember the directions. Be sure to ask the person giving directions to slow down or repeat politely. Repeat each direction the person gives. This will help you remember the names of streets, turns, and crossings. Finally, repeat the whole set of directions again. Of course, remember to be polite when you ask for directions. Here come two tips: Use greetings and polite expressions. Starting the conversation with a greeting is a must, like “Good afternoon!” or “Hello! May I ask for some help?” Remember to finish with expressions such as “Thank you!” or “Have a nice day!” Use modal verbs (情态动词). For example, it sounds more polite to say, “Excuse me, would you like to tell me the way to Xinhua Bookstore?” But it sounds impolite if you say, “Tell me the way to Xinhua Bookstore.” 1．What should we do when we listen to someone giving directions? 2．Where is the China Bank according to the first paragraph? 3．What is the first chart (图表) about? 4．According to the passage, how to be polite when people ask for directions? 5．How can you ask the way if you want to go to the washroom? 【答案】1．We should pay careful attention. 2．China Bank/It is across from the theater. 3．It is about some advice to help (us) remember the directions. 4．By using greeting, polite expressions and modal verbs. 5．Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?/Excuse me, would you like to tell me the way to the nearest washroom? 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了帮助记住方向的建议和礼貌问路的建议。 1．根据“So pay careful attention when listening to someone showing directions.”可知，听别人指路时要仔细听。故填We should pay careful attention. 2．根据“...China Bank is across from the theater”可知，中国银行在剧院对面。故填China Bank/It is across from the theater. 3．根据“Here is some advice to help you remember the directions.”可知，这里有一些建议可以帮助我们记住方向。故填It’s about the advice to help (us) remember the directions. 4．根据“Use greetings and polite expressions.”和“Use modal verbs.”可知，问路的时候使用问候语和礼貌用语，使用情态动词。故填By using greetings, polite expressions and modal verbs. 5．本题答案不唯一，言之有理即可。根据文章最后两段可知，问路的时候使用问候语、礼貌用语、情态动词。故填Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?/Excuse me, would you like to tell me the way to the nearest washroom? 请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整。 Dear Amanda, Your parents sound very strict. It’s hard to believe that your mom chooses what you wear. Are you a Barbie doll? Try to take the first step when possible. Dress yourself before your mother has a chance to come in and choose your clothes. If she asks you to change, tell her you’ll be late for school. You should also talk to her. Ask about her choices: What makes a set of clothes acceptable or unacceptable? Tell her you will follow her rules but you want to make the choices. You are not in the first grade. You are a young lady in high school. As for your father, it’s difficult to argue with his mind. After all, he is not totally wrong. How strict is he? Does he lock you up with your textbooks? Are you allowed to have a hobby? Are you allowed to have a smartphone? Are you allowed to hang out with friends? Such strict parents should know the law of diminishing returns (收益递减). A weightlifter, for example, can only lift for an hour or two each day. If she does more, her muscles will not become stronger. She will just get tired. She may even hurt herself! Our brains also have limits (限度). Some violin teachers say you should only practice a new skill for 15 minutes each day because our brains need to relax and understand new information. Our brains also have a basic need to socialize (社交). Ask your father: what is the meaning of so much studying if it makes you feel unhappy? Stay strong.

It is playing an important role in our lives and will have a huge influence on the future. The following aspects will be influenced by AI greatly. In the field of medicine, AI can help doctors deal with diseases more quickly and correctly and develop more effective (有效的) treatment plans. In education, it can personalize (个人化) learning according to students’ characteristics (特征) and needs; improving learning efficiency. In daily life, AI-powered smart homes make our lives more convenient and comfortable. We can control lights, temperature, and appliances (电器) with just a voice command (指令) However, the development of AI also brings some challenges. For example, some jobs may be replaced (代替) by AI. It may lead to job losses in some traditional industries. We need to pay attention to retraining workers to adapt (适应) to the new job market. In general, AI is a double-edged sword (双刃剑). We should make good use of its advantages and find ways to deal with the potential (潜在的) problems to create a better future with AI. It will bring great chances and progress to our future. 1．What aspects that are mentioned will be influenced by AI greatly? 2．Will AI make a difference to the students? 3．What influence will AI make in our homes? 4．AI doesn’t have any disadvantages, does it? 5．What should we do to do with AI’s potential problems? Do you believe picking up rubbish has become a world competition? It might sound surprising, but it’s true. In November 2023, the first Rubbish Collection World Cup was held in Asia, drawing teams from 21 countries across the world. Following the competition rules, each team was given 60 minutes to collect as much rubbish as possible. After a lot of efforts, Britain finally won the first prize. A team member from Britain shared, “We hope more people around the world will pay attention to environmental problems and join hands to protect our planet.” Ken, the organizer of this special event, shared the story behind his idea in an interview. Several years ago, he was shocked to find that many sea animals lost their lives after eating plastic bags and other rubbish by the bank. Since then, he has made it a daily habit to pick up rubbish on his way to the beach every morning. “Picking up a piece of rubbish may save a turtle’s life. It’s also a simple way to keep the beach clean,” Ken said. In his eyes, changing people’s opinions towards rubbish was far more important than winning a competition. “Picking up rubbish is meaningful and helpful,” Ken added. “Now, I am glad to hear that more people take part in it to protect our environment, and this is the best prize we could ever get.” 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．When was the first Rubbish Collection World Cup held? 2．Which team won the competition? 3．How did Ken feel after he found many sea animals lost their lives? 4．What did Ken think was more important than winning the competition? 5．What does Ken hope to see? 阅读短文，简略回答问题。 Have you ever heard of e-waste (electronic waste) , which can be produced every day? Old computers, MP4 players and mobile phones can become e-waste. How do you deal with them when they’re broken or you want a new one? Most people just throw them away. With the development of electronic industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to a survey by the United Nations in 2024, people around the world produced 62 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 13.8 million tons. China was the biggest waster, producing 14 million tons. The U.S. came second, with 7.5 million tons. It’s important to pay attention to e- waste. It can either be valuable or harmful, depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban (城市的) mine. Why? The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals (有毒化学物质) can get into the earth or air, influencing the environment and people’s health. Apple, for example, now recycles people’s used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce e-waste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs. 1．What can become e-waste? 2．How many tons of e-waste did people recycle? 3．Why is e-waste valuable? (回答一点即可) 4．What does Apple do when people in China want to buy new products? 5．How do your family members deal with the e-waste? 根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 When it comes to ancient travelers who traveled across China, who is the first person that comes to your mind? In fact, for most people, it’s Xu Xiake. Xu Xiake was a famous geographer from China’s Ming Dynasty. Unlike scholars (学者) of his time who only studied books, Xu believed true knowledge came from seeing the world in person. Born in 1587, Xu started traveling when he was 26. For over 30 years, he walked across almost half of China, visiting faraway mountains, rivers, and forests. He traveled on foot or by simple boats, facing dangers like wild animals. During his travels, Xu Xiake kept detailed diaries. In them, he wrote about everything he saw—the heights of mountains, the lengths of rivers, and how the weather influenced plants and animals. He also corrected old maps, showing that some famous rivers had different sources (来源) than people thought. What’s more, he described cultural treasures—ancient buildings, local festivals, and daily lives in villages. After his death, Xu’s notes were collected into a book called Xu Xiake’s Travel Diaries. This book becomes one of China’s greatest scientific works. And it also influences the places outside China. So far, translated into English and six other languages, the book has shown the world China’s breathtaking beauty and deep cultural history. Today, Xu is known as a pioneer of fieldwork (实地考察的先驱). Xu Xiake’s Travel Diaries helps develop China’s geographical study, opening a window to China’s natural wonders and traditions. As Dr. Needham, a scientist from London, noted, “Xu Xiake didn’t just explore (探索) China—he helped the world understand the beautiful country.” 1．In which year did Xu Xiake start traveling? 2．What did Xu Xiake write in his diaries according to paragraph 2? 3．How many language versions (版本) of Xu Xiake’s Travel Diaries have there been up to now? 4．Which country does Dr. Needham come from? 5．Do you want to be a traveler like Xu Xiake, and why? 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Kristen Tapping, a student from London South Bank University, has invented a bike wheel that can help clean pollution in the air. It’s called Rolloe. The wheel uses fins (尾翼) to pull in air as it turns. It then uses filters (过滤器) to take in polluted air and give off clean air back into the environment. The wheel can filter more air if it goes faster, although it still works at low speeds (速度). Tapping said users would need to change the filter every week or after about 250 kilometers, to make sure the wheel continues to work well. The wheel fits in the front of a standard (标准的) bike and weighs about one kilogram. Tapping said she was encouraged to create the wheel when she was biking around London. “In traffic, you always notice the pollution, the heat, the gases and the smell,” she said. She predicts that if 10 percent of the riders in London had a Rolloe on their bike, they could filter about 266,865 m³ of air a day, although this has yet to be tested. A recent report shows that London’s health costs because of air pollution are the highest among all the European cities. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also said that outdoor air pollution causes about 4.2 million deaths around the world each year. Tapping wants to use the wheel on shared bike projects at first, with the aim of making the wheels available for all bikes to use. She says she would also like to create a wheel that would fit in the back of a bike, as well as making them available in different sizes. 1．What does the wheel use filters to do? 2．When does the user need to change the filter? 3．Where does the wheel fit? 4．Why are London’s health costs the highest among all the European cities? 5．What do you think of the wheel? Why do you think so? 阅读短文，并用英语回答问题。 Reading is a wonderful habit to develop. It is a great thing to do when you are bored. Here are some ways to develop the habit.

From its thousands of rooms to its many different beautiful collections, there’s no doubt it’s one of China’s most popular places for tourists. But even more than 600 years after it was built, it’s still managing to serve up surprises. Since it was built during the Ming Dynasty, it’s said that the Forbidden City has survived (幸免于难) more than 200 earthquakes. Recently, a television programmed by UK broadcaster Channel 4 has studied the skills of the ancient building’s designers. A group of Chinese engineers were shown building a model of one of the Forbidden City’s palaces, at one-fifth of the size. To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is, the model was put to a test. In the test, they simulated (模拟) an earthquake of 9.5 on the Richter scale. Instead of falling apart, the model was just moved gently during the test. According to experts, the answer to the Forbidden City’s strength, as well as other ancient Chinese structures’, lies in dougong—a centuries-old building method invented in China. This is the name for special brackets (构件) on buildings. Despite being held together without any nails or glue, the brackets are perfect at keeping structures together when the weather gets terrible. “Dougong design is an important earthquake-resistant (抗震的) feature of classical Chinese structures because the shape will be changed under pressure, much like the shock absorbers (减震器) of a car,” according to Chinese National Geography. “Ancient Chinese people created structures that were both strong and good-looking by using dougong, showing their advanced understanding of mathematics, architecture, materials, and structural science.” The Forbidden City draws visitors because of its rich history and culture, but perhaps it should add one more thing to its list of attractions: earthquake shelter. 1．When was the Forbidden City built? 2．Why was the model of a palace put to a test in the UK television programme? 3．What is dougong? 4．What is the passage mainly about? Would you like to visit the Forbidden City? Why or why not? Asking for directions is important. However, people become confused (困惑的) easily when listening to someone giving directions. So pay careful attention when listening to someone showing directions. For example, he or she may tell you, “Go down the street and turn right at the first crossing. Walk two miles, and then you will find a theater and China Bank is across from the theater.” After listening to someone providing directions in English, are you clear? Here is some advice to help you remember the directions. Be sure to ask the person giving directions to slow down or repeat politely. Repeat each direction the person gives. This will help you remember the names of streets, turns, and crossings. Finally, repeat the whole set of directions again. Of course, remember to be polite when you ask for directions. Here come two tips: Use greetings and polite expressions. Starting the conversation with a greeting is a must, like “Good afternoon!” or “Hello! May I ask for some help?” Remember to finish with expressions such as “Thank you!” or “Have a nice day!” Use modal verbs (情态动词). For example, it sounds more polite to say, “Excuse me, would you like to tell me the way to Xinhua Bookstore?” But it sounds impolite if you say, “Tell me the way to Xinhua Bookstore.” 1．What should we do when we listen to someone giving directions? 2．Where is the China Bank according to the first paragraph? 3．What is the first chart (图表) about? 4．According to the passage, how to be polite when people ask for directions? 5．How can you ask the way if you want to go to the washroom? 请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整。 Dear Amanda, Your parents sound very strict. It’s hard to believe that your mom chooses what you wear. Are you a Barbie doll? Try to take the first step when possible. Dress yourself before your mother has a chance to come in and choose your clothes. If she asks you to change, tell her you’ll be late for school. You should also talk to her. Ask about her choices: What makes a set of clothes acceptable or unacceptable? Tell her you will follow her rules but you want to make the choices. You are not in the first grade. You are a young lady in high school. As for your father, it’s difficult to argue with his mind. After all, he is not totally wrong. How strict is he? Does he lock you up with your textbooks?

The moon is at its brightest on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. On this day, people celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival. It has been enjoying great popularity all over the country. In ancient China, that day was a harvest (收获) festival because crops (庄稼) were harvested during that period. It was a time for relaxation and celebration. Just like Thanksgiving in Western countries, families also try to get together for the Mid-Autumn Festival in China.

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. The idea of spending the day with friends was spread all over the world. Because more and more countries joined in the celebrations, Friendship Day soon became an international festival. Between 1936 and 1997, Friendship Day didn’t have a symbol, like Santa Claus for Christmas. However, in 1997, the United Nations named Winnie the poop 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. These are popular among all age groups from teenagers to old people.

That’s what happens when you are using technology equipment, such as computers and mobile phones. You leave your digital footprint and it will never disappear. Here are reasons why your digital footprint should matter to you. How people see you Of course, you have nothing to hide, but if people get information about you, they might judge you from the information you have left online. For example, you make a bad joke online. Years later, it’s found by the university you are applying to, and they don’t think it’s funny. Maybe they decide you are not the “right” kind of person for them. Your private information Not everything can be shared with everyone. For example, you might share your school reports with your parents, but keep them secret to your e-friends. If you share them on the Internet, they will not be a secret any more. Therefore, to protect your privacy (隐私), remember to put out less information online. Keeping your money safe There are plenty of people looking at information about you, and some of them want to steal it from you. So you shouldn’t write bank details, card numbers or passwords in emails or text messages.
