Studying is important to students. But it is always difficult to find enough time to study every subject you need. So a good plan can help you make sure of your success in study. Then, how to make a study plan? First, you should list all the subjects you need to study. Then make sure what you need to do for each subject. Next, you should decide how much time you should spend on different subjects. In this way, you have a plan you can remember easily. While planning time for each subject, you should make sure that you still have time for family, friends and rest. This is because you won’t be able to succeed in your studies unless you balance (平衡) your personal life and your study. Follow your plan. One of the biggest challenges in following your study plan is that you will meet temptations (诱惑). Luckily, you can fight temptations by taking breaks. But be sure not to take extra breaks or too long breaks as it can affect your plan. Also, you need to use your break wisely, such as listening to music, eating a small snack and so on. To avoid forgetting to follow your plan, try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar every day. Sometimes our plans are hard to follow because some important people in our lives distract (使分心) us from our goals. In order to avoid this, tell people in your life about your plan.

The Future Is Far Away! Alyssa Carson is a teenager and she already has a big dream for her future. If her dream comes true, she’ll fly into space. But she doesn’t want to orbit（环绕……运行）the earth on the space station or go to the moon. Alyssa wants to travel to Mars, the red planet. So, is this just a dream? No. Alyssa made the decision when she was three years old because the idea was exciting and “no one’s been there!” After that she read lots of books on Mars and attended her first space camp when she was seven. Since then, she’s learned a lot about travelling to other planets. It’s an expensive trip which requires many years of training. This is a problem for Alyssa’s family, but her parents try to support her because she has been trying her best to make her dream come true. Alyssa believes we are the Mars generation and that the mission（飞行任务） to Mars will help us get to know the planet better. More than 100, 000 people have already applied（申请）for a journey to Mars. If they pass the tests, like Alyssa, they will start a training program. She has a certificate（证书）in scuba diving and is already working on her pilot’s license. Both these things, as well as a certificate in skydiving are important for an astronaut’s training. And it’s necessary to speak several languages if you want to be an astronaut. Alyssa speaks Spanish, French, Chinese and some Turkish, so this should be enough! Only a few people can go on the first Mars mission. The flight to Mars won’t be easy. They will spend hundreds of days together in a very tight space! So, if you were an astronaut on Mars, what would life be like? You would live in an extremely small space called a “pod” and you would wear a space suit all the time. If you made a phone call home, it would take half an hour for the sound to reach the earth! Also, if you got ill, there wouldn’t be any hospitals. Life wouldn’t be as easy, that’s for sure! But it would be really exciting. 1．Where does Alyssa want to travel? 2．Why do Alyssa’s parents support her? 3．What are the important things for an astronaut’s training? 4．What do you think of Alyssa? Why do you think so? （List two reasons） 【答案】1．She wants to travel to Mars. 2．Because she has been trying her best to make her dream come true. 3．A certificate in scuba diving, pilot’s license and a certificate in skydiving. 4．She is a very hard-working person. Because she read lots of books on Mars and can speak several languages. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了艾莉莎•卡森为实现自己的太空梦而努力的故事。 1．根据第一段“Alyssa wants to travel to Mars, the red planet.（艾莉莎想去火星旅行，那颗红色的星球。）”可知，艾莉莎想去火星旅行。故填She wants to travel to Mars. 2．根据第二段“This is a problem for Alyssa’s family, but her parents try to support her because she has been trying her best to make her dream come true.（这对艾莉莎的家庭来说是一个问题，但她的父母试图支持她，因为她一直在努力实现自己的梦想。）”可知，是因为艾莉莎一直在努力实现自己的梦想，所以她的父母才支持她。故填Because she has been trying her best to make her dream come true. 3．根据第三段“She has a certificate in scuba diving and is already working on her pilot’s license.

My dream is to become an English teacher when I grow up. I am interested in English as I think it can open doors to different cultures and opportunities. To achieve this dream, I have a clear plan. First, I am going to study hard so that I can get into a good university to learn English further. I’m sure the education I get there can improve my necessary skills. Meanwhile (与此同时), I’m working on my language skills by talking to friends from English-speaking countries. I will practise listening by watching English movies and TV shows, and I will write articles in English to improve my writing skills. To be an excellent teacher, gaining rich experience is very important. To get more teaching experience, I am going to volunteer as a teacher at an after-school learning centre, helping students with their English homework. The hands-on experience can teach me how to communicate better with students of different ages and levels (水平). I know that the road to becoming an excellent English teacher is long and difficult, but I’m going to work hard to make it come true. I look forward to the day when I can stand on the podium (讲台), share my passion (酷爱) for English, and guide my students towards a brighter future. 1．What is Gina interested in? 2．How is Gina going to improve her writing skills? 3．Where is Gina going to volunteer? 4．What does Gina think of the road to becoming an excellent English teacher? 5．What’s your dream and how do you plan to realize it? Everybody dreams about the future. I’m excited about my future because I have big hopes and dreams. Firstly, I think I am going to be a teacher after college. I will work hard and be useful to our society. For one thing, I like to be with middle school students so much. Most of the students at that age are full of energy and hope, and I am sure their passion (激情) will have a great influence on me. For another, teaching is now considered to be a hard job in China. However, if we don’t have enough teachers, our future will be short of excellent scientists, managers, businessmen, soldiers, good workers and farmers. How can our country be strong and wealthy if this happens? Besides being a teacher, I also hope to be rich. I will make a lot of money by working hard. Then I will help people who are in need. I like travelling too, so I will go to Africa and Europe to experience different cultures and customs. I will meet many people and make many friends there. All our dreams can come true if we try our best to realize them. I know it won’t be easy, but if I make it, I’ll be happy. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．Why is the writer excited about the future? 2．What does the writer want to be after college? 3．Are most middle school students full of energy and hope? 4．Who will the writer help if he/she becomes rich? 5．Where will the writer go to experience different cultures? 阅读表达 Hey, Captain Lim, First of all, I would like to say that it is a great pleasure to be able to speak to an experienced pilot who knows what life is like in the sky. I am a 13-year-old girl and for as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a pilot. I would spend hours watching the planes at the airport take off from the runway. I love the feeling of packing my bags, traveling to some places that I have never explored (探索) before. I just love airplanes and flying. The idea to fly people around the world always makes me excited. I’m just not sure if it’s the right job for me. My dad says I need to make a quick decision because now is the right time to start training. It’s true. I want to start early. It sounds funny, but I want to be young and energetic when I’m flying a Qantas Boeing 737, or even an A380! I have so many questions about it—do you get paid well? I want to have a pretty good income (收入). I want to have a big family and house when I grow up. And it will need a lot of money. Is it fun? Is it safer than being a doctor or a teacher? Will I regret it? I hate regretting things I’ve done. Is it really hard? I’m also a girl, so will I be looked down upon? And I would also like to know, if I definitely (明确地) want to become a pilot, where and when I should start training if I want to start early. Thanks so much, Captain! Regards, Mary Anne 1．What does Captain Lim do? 2．Why does Mary Anne want to be a pilot? (至少写出文中提到的两条) 3．Who asks Mary Anne to make a quick decision? 4．How many questions does Mary Anne have about the job of being a pilot? 5．What is your dream job? Why? 阅读短文，然后根据内容回答所提问题。 Everyone has a dream. What role does a dream play in our life? When I was young, my dream was to be a fireman. I thought it would be cool to ride around. And putting out fire could make me feel like a superman. For years, I held on to this dream. But when I got older, I had another dream. I wanted to be a teacher like my father. He teaches in a university. He has helped many students to achieve their dreams. I really admire him. So that’s why I am a teacher now. I enjoy every minute when I stay with students. I enjoy every moment when I see students make progress. I never regret giving up my dream to be a fireman. Life doesn’t always give us the joys we want. Life may push our dreams in another direction. It doesn’t matter whatever our dreams are. If we actively pursue (追求) them, we will move closer to our dreams. If we stick to what we live to do, we can build ourselves better. That is the most important thing to us. 1．What career made the writer feel like a superman? 2．Who influenced (影响) the writer to become a teacher now? 3．What will happen if we go after our dreams in an active way? 4．What’s your dream? How can you achieve it? (Write 30 words or more.) 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Do you have a beautiful dream? What are you going to be when you grow up? I know almost everyone has their own dreams in their life. The dreams are very important for people because the dreams can make them work harder. I am a student studying in a school now. My dream is to be a teacher in West China. Many children there want to go to school but they can’t. Their families are very poor and the parents don’t have enough money to send their children to school. But if the children want to change (改变) their lives, they should go to school. There are not enough teachers, so I want to be a teacher to help them. I will be kind to my students and make friends with them. I will give them love and teach them how to be a useful (有用的) person. I think it is the greatest job in the world. I’m sure I will be a good teacher and I’ll try my best to help the children in West China. 1．Why are the dreams important for people? 2．What does the writer do? 3．What should the children do in West China if they want to change their lives? 4．What does the writer think of being a teacher? 5．What do you think of the writer? Why? What do you want to be when you grow up (长大)? Every child has an answer to this question. But it’s not an easy job to make their dreams come true. When Zhao Li was young, she dreamed of becoming a reporter. “As a child, I thought it was interesting that there were people on TV,” she said. “They seemed important, and they told you what was going on. So I wanted a job on television some day.” Zhao Li worked hard at school and got good grades. Although her parents wanted her to be a doctor, Zhao couldn’t give up (放弃) her dream. “That is what I want to do in my heart,” she said. “Why not go for it?” So she went to the university to learn broadcasting (广播). On weekends, she worked at a TV station for no pay so she could get more experience (经验). Now Zhao is already a popular reporter. How did she make her dream come true? She said “________” 1．Is it easy to make your dreams come true? 2．What was Zhao Li’s dream? 3．What do you think of Zhao Li? 4．(补全文章) Please complete (完成) the passage with your own opinions (more than 20 words) As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream come true? How can you make your dream real? Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making the dreams real is life’s biggest challenge (挑战). You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it’s impossible for you to become a winner. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing (实现) your dream. In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams. You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams, so it’s hard for you to make your dream come true. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what to do and what not to do. 根据短文内容，完成下列小题。 1．What is life’s biggest challenge according to Andrew Matthews’s idea? (no more than four words) 2．What is the first thing you must do to make your dream come true? 3．What is a big dream made up of? 4．Why is it hard for you to make your dream come true? 5．What will you do if you want to make your dream come true? Studying is important to students. But it is always difficult to find enough time to study every subject you need. So a good plan can help you make sure of your success in study. Then, how to make a study plan? First, you should list all the subjects you need to study. Then make sure what you need to do for each subject. Next, you should decide how much time you should spend on different subjects. In this way, you have a plan you can remember easily. While planning time for each subject, you should make sure that you still have time for family, friends and rest. This is because you won’t be able to succeed in your studies unless you balance (平衡) your personal life and your study. Follow your plan. One of the biggest challenges in following your study plan is that you will meet temptations (诱惑). Luckily, you can fight temptations by taking breaks. But be sure not to take extra breaks or too long breaks as it can affect your plan. Also, you need to use your break wisely, such as listening to music, eating a small snack and so on. To avoid forgetting to follow your plan, try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar every day. Sometimes our plans are hard to follow because some important people in our lives distract (使分心) us from our goals. In order to avoid this, tell people in your life about your plan. Put up a copy of your study guide at home so you and your family can see it, and e-mail a copy to your friends so they know when you have spare time. 1．What can a good plan help you? (不超过15词) 2．What should you do first to make a study plan? (不超过15词) 3．What should you do while planning time for each subject?  (不超过20词) 4．How can you fight temptations according to the text?  (不超过15词) 5．How do you need to use your break?

They began a new life in Wisconsin that year. John showed his love of nature in his early years. He liked playing outdoors. He also loved working outdoors on his father’s farm. When he was 29, John had an accident at work. The accident hurt his eyes. As a result he missed looking at nature for months. Luckily, he could see again. Later that year, John decided to spend all his time learning about nature, He would travel in order to make his dream come true. First, John hiked 1,000 miles. He studied plants and wildlife. He then took a trip by ship. It was to learn more about the world around him. In 1869, John went to the Sierra Nevada Mountains. He climbed the mountains and wrote down what he saw. And he wrote about the animals and plants as well. By the time John turned 33, people were reading what he had written. They realized the importance of nature from John’s books. Many people understood and accepted his thoughts. In 1852, John started the Sierra Club. Many people joined it. They agreed that forest wildlife should be protected. Today, the club has more than two million members. It has a great influence on the people who love nature. They all help spread the ways to protect the environment. John’s books are still read today.

The Future Is Far Away! Alyssa Carson is a teenager and she already has a big dream for her future. If her dream comes true, she’ll fly into space. But she doesn’t want to orbit（环绕……运行）the earth on the space station or go to the moon. Alyssa wants to travel to Mars, the red planet. So, is this just a dream? No. Alyssa made the decision when she was three years old because the idea was exciting and “no one’s been there!” After that she read lots of books on Mars and attended her first space camp when she was seven. Since then, she’s learned a lot about travelling to other planets. It’s an expensive trip which requires many years of training. This is a problem for Alyssa’s family, but her parents try to support her because she has been trying her best to make her dream come true. Alyssa believes we are the Mars generation and that the mission（飞行任务） to Mars will help us get to know the planet better. More than 100, 000 people have already applied（申请）for a journey to Mars. If they pass the tests, like Alyssa, they will start a training program. She has a certificate（证书）in scuba diving and is already working on her pilot’s license. Both these things, as well as a certificate in skydiving are important for an astronaut’s training. And it’s necessary to speak several languages if you want to be an astronaut. Alyssa speaks Spanish, French, Chinese and some Turkish, so this should be enough! Only a few people can go on the first Mars mission. The flight to Mars won’t be easy. They will spend hundreds of days together in a very tight space! So, if you were an astronaut on Mars, what would life be like? You would live in an extremely small space called a “pod” and you would wear a space suit all the time. If you made a phone call home, it would take half an hour for the sound to reach the earth! Also, if you got ill, there wouldn’t be any hospitals. Life wouldn’t be as easy, that’s for sure! But it would be really exciting. 1．Where does Alyssa want to travel? 2．Why do Alyssa’s parents support her? 3．What are the important things for an astronaut’s training? 4．What do you think of Alyssa? Why do you think so? （List two reasons） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
