【解析】At nine yesterday evening, Cindy was sitting in her chair when she
heard a strange sound. It made her scared. This was the third time she had heard
the sound. She did not know who or what made that sound. It sounded like
someone was knocking at her window, but she lived on the ninth floor! She was
too scared to open her eyes until the sound stopped. She thought about asking
for help, but she was sure people would laugh at her. She shouted and her mum
came upstairs and asked her what she was going on. Then she heard the strange
sound too. She went into the bathroom. Cindy wanted to stop her mum because
she was afraid that something bad would happen to her. But she started laughing
and said that it was just a strong wind making the curtain shake and knock the
window.

[2025浙江杭州月考]There was once a poor man who lived in a village.
Every day, he walked through the village looking for someone who could give
him a little work. When he was lucky, he made enough money to buy one
small meal.
One day, the man saw a fat goose (鹅) run by, so he caught it.

“Do not eat me!” cried the goose.“I am a super special goose. If you feed
me and take care of me, I will lay golden eggs for you.” “Can this be true?”
the man wondered.“Since this goose can talk,perhaps it can lay golden eggs too.
I will give it a chance (机会).”So the man took the goose home and fed it
the last food in his kitchen, even though he had to go to bed hungry that
night.
As soon as he woke up the next morning, the man rushed over to the
goose. Under the goose he found a large, shiny egg made of gold. He took the
egg to the market and sold it for lots of money. When he came home, his
arms were full of food, and there was good food for the goose.

decided to cut the goose open and get all the golden eggs at once.
The man cut the goose open and found no golden eggs. “What have I
done?” he cried.#1.6

[2025江苏南通月考]Do you often shake hands with others? Do you want to
know how to shake hands with Americans?If you’re travelling to the United
States, you need to understand the common way to say hello—a handshake.
Friends shake hands. Women, men and even children can shake hands.
Shaking hands seems simple, but there are some important things to
remember. When you shake hands, you must look into the other person’s eyes
the whole time you’re shaking hands.

Shake hands strongly. If you give a weak handshake, the other person
might think that you’re not kind. He/She might also feel that you don’t like
him/her or you don’t want to touch him/her. Shake hands with men and women
the same way. If you shake hands with a very old person or a small child, be
careful not to hurt them.
Some people don’t know how long to keep shaking. The most common
handshake should have three shakes and then you should let go. Don’t worry if
Americans shake hands a little longer.

Your handshake is like your smile. It’s special to you. You need to find a
comfortable strong handshake that shows what you are like. Because the
handshake allows people to touch, the hand should be warm, clean and dry.
Warm: Put your hands into your pockets before you shake hands. This will
warm them.
Clean: If you know you’re going to meet someone, wash your hands so
they’ll be clean.
Dry: Everyone gets nervous and your hands may get wet. It isn’t a good
feeling for the other person. Again, put your hands into your pockets. This will
dry them.#1.8

[2025广东深圳质检]A new and exciting way of doing weather forecasts is
here!China’s television station now uses high-tech simulations (模拟) to create
realistic scenes in the studio. In a recent video about Super Typhoon Yagi,
people watched as strong winds blew the weather reporter’s umbrella away and a
“tree” was uprooted. This new way of forecasting weather helps people
understand how serious storms can be.
China Media Group Mobile made this video to warn people about the
dangers of Super Typhoon Yagi and to tell them how to stay safe. But people

The video showed different things that could happen during a typhoon, like
trees falling and umbrellas being blown away. It made people feel like they were
really there, experiencing the typhoon.
With XR technology, the scenes looked real and helped people learn about

新素材 缅甸地震救助
[2025湖南怀化期中·改编]A strong earthquake hit central Myanmar (缅甸)

magnitude (震级) of 7.9 and happened 30 kilometres underground. The centre

The earthquake caused serious damage. In Myanmar, about 3,839 people died

down. Important places like the Ava Bridge and Mandalay International Airport
were destroyed. In Thailand, a tall building in Bangkok collapsed (倒塌),

million for aid. Scientists say Myanmar is on the Sagaing Fault, where two big
earth plates meet. This area often has strong earthquakes.

is not a game. Second, we should get ready for everything in time,” said Adelina,
a teacher of a middle school. Although all the buildings in the school were
broken, everyone was safe. Because both the students and the teachers had learnt

Dear Freya,
I’m excited to receive the invitation to your afternoon tea party this Sunday.
As it’ll be the first time I’ve been to such an event, I would like to ask
about the basic manners for an British tea party. Firstly, could you please tell me
what I should wear to the party? Should I wear a shirt and tie? I think it may
be impolite to show up in sportswear. Secondly, I’m wondering if I am expected
to bring a gift to the party. I don’t want to be rude. Last but not least, I’m
curious about how I can behave properly at table, including where to sit and
when to start drinking.
