But do you know that loud sounds can harm your hearing? Sounds are measured (测量) in decibels (分贝). Look at the chart—some sounds are safe for our ears, but when a sound goes over 85 decibels, it can be harmful to our hearing. To reduce the risk of hearing loss, we shall pay attention to the loudness of the noise, the distance we are to it and how long we listen to it. Noise levels can be measured by sound-level meters (噪声计), but you probably don’t always carry one with you. So how can you tell whether noises are too loud or not? Ask yourself: Do you have to raise your voice to be heard? Do you find it hard to hear someone about a meter away from you? Do the noises make your ears hurt or ring for some time? If your answer is YES to any of these, that probably means the noises are too loud. Headphones are especially tricky. Many people enjoy using them, but they often listen to loud music for too long, or keep the volume (音量) so high that even other people can hear the noise from their headphones. These can lead to hearing loss. Your hearing is a gift. You need it for learning, communicating, and enjoying the world. Once your hearing is harmed, it may never come back. 1．According to the chart, what sounds can harm your hearing? 2．How can you know if the noises are too loud? (Give 2 examples.) 3．Why is hearing important? What can you do to protect it? 【答案】1．TV, headphones, rock concerts, and fireworks. 2．When/If I have to raise my voice to be heard; When/ If I find it hard to hear someone about a meter away from me; When/ If the noises make my ears hurt or ring for some time. 3． Because we need it for learning, communicating, and enjoying the world. We should not use headphones for too long./We should keep away from the loud noises./We can turn down the music./We can use headphones less. 【导语】本文主要介绍了高分贝噪音对听力的危害、如何判断噪音是否过大以及保护听力的重要性。 1．根据“Look at the chart—some sounds are safe for our ears, but when a sound goes over 85 decibels, it can be harmful to our hearing.”可知，有些声音对我们的耳朵是安全的，但是当一个声音超过85分贝时，它可能对我们的听力有害。根据图表所示，电视和耳机、摇滚音乐会和烟花爆竹的声音都是超过85分贝，因此这些声音都可能有损我们的听力。故填TV, headphones, rock concerts, and fireworks. 2．根据“So how can you tell whether noises are too loud or not? Ask yourself: Do you have to raise your voice to be heard? Do you find it hard to hear someone about a meter away from you? Do the noises make your ears hurt or ring for some time? If your answer is YES to any of these, that probably means the noises are too loud.”可知，如果噪音太大时，我必须提高声音才能被听到，我会听不到一米远的人说话，或者这些噪音会让我的车辆受损或响一段时间。从中任选两个回答即可。故填When/If I have to raise my voice to be heard; When/If I find it hard to hear someone about a meter away from me; When/ If the noises make my ears hurt or ring for some time. 3．根据“You need it for learning, communicating, and enjoying the world.”可知，听力之所以重要是因为我们需要它来学习、交流、享受这个世界。至于如何保护听力，这部分是开放性题目，答案不唯一，言之有理即可。故填Because we need it for learning, communicating, and enjoying the world. We should not use headphones for too long./We should keep away from the loud noises./We can turn down the music./We can use headphones less. 请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。 In his lovely piece of writing “Why Write?”, the writer Paul Auster shares a story about growing up as an eight-year-old in New York City. He was crazy about baseball, especially the New York Giants. The only thing he remembers about attending his first major league baseball game is that he saw his hero Willie Mays after the game. The young Auster gathered his courage and went close to his hero. “Mr. Mays,” he said, “could I please have your autograph (签名)?” “Sure, kid, sure,” Mays replied kindly. “Have you got a pencil?” Auster didn’t have a pencil on him, neither did his father or his mother or anyone else in his group. Mays waited patiently, but when it became clear that no one present had anything to write with, he said, “Sorry, kid. We’ve got no pencil. I can’t give you my autograph.” From that day on, Auster made it a habit to never leave the house without a pencil in his pocket. “It’s not that I had any special plans for that pencil,” Auster writes, “but I didn’t want to be unprepared. I had been caught empty-handed once, and I wasn’t about to let it happen again. The years have taught me this: If there’s a pencil in your pocket, there’s a good chance that one day you’ll feel like starting to use it. That’s how I became a writer.” What is your pencil? What is so important that without it you feel unprepared? I know some cartoonists always carry pen and paper and some photographers always have a camera in their pockets. They are always prepared. Pick your “pencil” and don’t leave home without it. 1．To get Willie Mays’ autograph, what did Auster need? 2．What habit did Auster form after that day? 3．What do you think of Auster’s habit? Why do you think so? 【答案】1．A pencil. 2．He made it a habit to never leave his house without a pencil in his pocket. 3．I think it’s helpful/it’s a good idea. Because this habit helps him get prepared/become a writer.（言之有理即可） 【导语】本文介绍了Paul Auster小时候因为没带铅笔，没能得到最喜欢的棒球运动员的签名，从此之后养成了出门带铅笔的习惯，最后成为了一名作家。 1．根据“‘Sure, kid, sure,’ Mays replied kindly. ‘Have you got a pencil?’”可知，为了得到Willie Mays的签名，Auster需要一支铅笔。故填A pencil. 2．根据“From that day on, Auster made it a habit to never leave the house without a pencil in his pocket.”可知，那天之后，Auster养成了口袋里不带铅笔绝不出门的习惯。故填He made it a habit to never leave his house without a pencil in his pocket. 3．开放性试题，答案不唯一，言之有理即可。参考答案为I think it’s helpful/it’s a good idea. Because this habit helps him get prepared/become a writer. 请认真阅读下面材料，用英语回答材料后的问题。 Reporter: Why do you love Suzhou? Zekro: When I was a child, my parents told me that love has no boundaries.

Many friends often call me the Ambassador(大使) of Suzhou.”可知，因为Zekro与苏州政府密切合作，向外国人介绍苏州，所以Zekro的朋友称他为“苏州大使”，故填Because Zekro has worked closely with Suzhou government to introduce Suzhou to foreigners. 3．主观题，符合题意即可，故填How to make new friends. Because friends are very important in our life. (言之有理即可) 【热点话题练习】 Growing up in a small community can be a wonderful experience filled with love and support. In places like Um Mao and Soak Maew in Nakhon Phanom province, families come together to care for their children, creating a warm and caring environment like a big family. When schools reopened after the long holidays, many children had difficulty getting back to in-person learning. They spent hours on their smartphones, even after finishing their schoolwork. This heavy screen time was affecting their ability to focus and learn in the classroom. Teachers like Aomam, Nice and Pimpam saw this challenge and decided to take action. They worked together to create a special one-day learning recovery (学习恢复) activity that would inspire the children’s enthusiasm (热情) for learning. By bringing in things from their community and inviting local talents to take part, they designed a day filled with fun activities like music, language, sports, and crafts. Through this movement, the teachers hoped to not only include the children but also promote teamwork and develop a deeper connection with nature and science in the community. They understood that the key to success lay in involving (使参与) the children and getting the support of their parents. By encouraging the children to embrace (拥抱) new experiences and setting limits on screen time at home, they hoped to guide the children back to a more balanced and colorful way of life. In the end, the learning recovery activity was a success, showing that with creativity, community involvement, and a focus on holistic education (全人教育), children can find the joy of learning and exploring the world around them. 1．Why did many students find it difficult to return to in-person learning after the holidays?   2．What was the “key to success” in organizing the activity, according to the teachers? 3．Would you like to take part in a one-day learning recovery activity organized by your teachers? Why or why not? 【答案】1．Because they spent too much time on their smartphones during the holidays and it affected their focus in class. 2．The key to success was involving the children and getting the support of their parents. 3． Yes, because it can help me reduce screen time and learn in a fun way./No, because I think I can manage my time better myself. I prefer normal classes. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了泰国某社区学校的老师如何组织一天的学习恢复活动，帮助学生减少屏幕时间，重新激发学习热情，并促进社区合作。 1．根据“When schools reopened after the long holidays, many children had difficulty getting back to in-person learning.

So he invited a group of famous painters to the palace, offering a great deal of money to the artist who could create a beautiful portrait for him.

But many of them now have a new look in China. Shougang Industrial Park in Beijing is now a famous and popular culture and sports site. However, it used to be a steel mill that was built in 1919. It once housed 60,000 workers and made more than 10 million tons of iron and steel. To protect the environment, however, the mill slowly reduced its production from 2005 until it closed in 2010. With the government’s support, the old mill has been reborn. Cafes, bookstores, hotels, and offices now fill Shougang’s warehouses and blast furnaces (高炉). Self-driving cars move around the place for testing. And during the 2022 Winter Games, Olympic athletes flew down the Big Air Ramp, which is now in front of Shougang’s former (之前的) cooling towers. Xu Zhaolin, from Beijing, visits the industrial park a lot. “It’s hard to imagine that the park was a steel mill in the past,” said the 24-year-old. “It feels like you’ve come into a sci-fi game.

The earliest form of writing appeared about 5,500 years ago. In the past, hand writing was an important subject in school. Now, many students sometimes do homework on a computer and turn in their tasks online. Many people think typing (打字) is quick and easy to read, while writing by hand may take longer than typing. But others say writing with a pen and paper is more valuable. Writing by hand has big advantages. Research shows that when we write down ideas with a pen or pencil, we make the brain active to help us learn, remember and think. Writing by hand lets people show their creativity. No two people have the same handwriting. Writing by hand can also help people concentrate. When using a computer, people can go online or play computer games easily. Handwriting may be pretty, however, people can get their ideas and thoughts down more quickly when they type. Typing can also make it easier for people to change. Once something is written by hand, you can’t delete it. If you want to make a change, you have to write it all over again. What’s more, some people’s handwriting may be hard to read. But typing makes everything clear, and no one will have to worry about their words being clear enough. 1．When did people begin to write? 2．How many advantages of typing are mentioned in the passage? 3．If you need to write a report, will you type or handwrite it? Why? 【答案】1．About 5,500 years ago. 2．Three. 3．I will type it. Because it is very fast and it is easy to correct my mistakes. If I have new ideas, I can easily add them to my report. 【导语】本文主要介绍了手写和打字的利弊。 1．根据“The earliest form of writing appeared about 5,500 years ago.”可知，人们大约5500年前开始写字。故填About 5,500 years ago. 2．根据“Handwriting may be pretty, however, people can get their ideas and thoughts down more quickly when they type.”、“Typing can also make it easier for people to change.”和“But typing makes everything clear, and no one will have to worry about their words being clear enough.”可知，介绍了打字的三个优点。故填Three. 3．开放性试题，合理即可。参考答案为I will type it. Because it is very fast and it is easy to correct my mistakes. If I have new ideas, I can easily add them to my report. Chen Xingrong won five medals, including a gold, at the 11th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 8th National Special Olympic Games. Born in Hainan Province, Chen Xingrong could not say a word until he was 2 years old. When Chen Xingrong was found autistic (患有自闭症的), his parents were worried. In 2012, his father learned that swimming could help people with autism, so he spent months learning how to swim by watching videos and reading books. When Chen Xingrong was 5 years old, he began to teach him how to swim. At the very beginning, he spent three months teaching his son, but all his efforts failed. To his surprise, after another three months, he discovered that his son had developed the ability to control his breath underwater, which greatly increased his confidence, and swimming soon became a key activity of the family. His father planned all his exercises for him at first, but then it was all up to him. He decided how many exercises he wanted to do, and his parents respected his choices. It was a process of self-management. With his father’s help as well as his good self-management and perseverance, he succeeded in winning many medals in the swimming competitions. As well as swimming, learning basic life skills is also an important part of life for a teenager with autism. His father hopes that his son can live well on his own when he and his wife grow old. To help the public to know more about autistic people so as to reduce misunderstanding, he once organized about 500 people to watch an autism-themed film. Thanks to his father’s endless efforts, Chen Xingrong has learned to buy food in the market in their neighbourhood. He also does voluntary jobs at supermarkets and fast-food restaurants, such as arranging shelves and cleaning dining tables. “He is good at skillfully arranging things. He is part of the community, and I hope he will live a wonderful life in the future,” his father says proudly. 1．Why did Chen Xingrong’s father want him to learn swimming? 2．When did Chen Xingrong begin to learn swimming? 3．Would you like to make friends with people with autism? Why or why not? (请自拟一句话作答) 【答案】1．Because he learned that swimming could help people with autism. 2．When he was 5 years old. 3．Yes, because they are unique individuals with their own strengths and perspectives, and friendship can help them feel included and valued. 【导语】本文讲述自闭症患者陈兴融在父亲帮助下学习游泳，斩获残运会奖牌，还习得生活技能并参与志愿工作的故事。 1．根据“In 2012, his father learned that swimming could help people with autism”可知，陈兴融的父亲让他学游泳是因为游泳有助于自闭症患者，故填Because he learned that swimming could help people with autism. 2．根据“When Chen Xingrong was 5 years old, he began to teach him how to swim.”可知，陈兴融5岁的时候开始学习游泳，故填When he was 5 years old. 3．开放性试题，言之有理即可。故填Yes, because they are unique individuals with their own strengths and perspectives, and friendship can help them feel included and valued. Lay Zhang’s (Zhang Yixing) recent concert is a great example of mixing Chinese traditional culture with pop music, with Dunhuang culture as its highlight. This music and visual show, praised by national media, gives new meaning to “traditional is popular” and builds young people’s cultural pride. The show’s core was connecting Dunhuang culture with Lay’s M-POP style. When he sang Flying Apsaras (飞天), short parts from the Dunhuang—themed play Called by Dunhuang were added to the music, linking the song closer to Dunhuang’s history. With camel bells and desert winds in the background, 3D pictures brought Dunhuang wall paintings to life, dancers copied the “flowing clothes, flying like clouds” beauty of apsaras figures. New technology improved the experience. A 2,200-square-meter round screen showed digital classic paintings. Lay wore a 3D-printed golden costume, which was inspired by Dunhuang paintings and was lifted like a Dunhuang apsara, making the audience feel in a Dunhuang cave. After the concert, many students searched for Dunhuang stories online; some planned to visit Mogao Grottoes. Lay’s work proves traditional culture can be cool for teens with pop music. This mix makes concerts fun and helps young people learn more about their culture. 1．What’s the highlight of Lay’s concert? 2．What did 3D pictures do for Dunhuang wall paintings? 3．Do you like the mix of Chinese pop music and traditional culture? Why? 【答案】1．Dunhuang culture. 2．3D pictures brought Dunhuang wall paintings to life. 3．Yes. Because it is interesting. 【导语】本文主要以张艺兴最近的演唱会为例，介绍了中国传统文化与流行音乐融合的成功案例。 1．根据“Lay Zhang’s (Zhang Yixing) recent concert is a great example of mixing Chinese traditional culture with pop music, with Dunhuang culture as its highlight.”可知，张艺兴最近的演唱会，是将中国传统文化与流行音乐相融合的绝佳范例，其最大亮点在于敦煌文化的融入。故填Dunhuang culture. 2．根据“With camel bells and desert winds in the background, 3D pictures brought Dunhuang wall paintings to life”可知，背景中伴随着驼铃声与沙漠风声，3D影像让敦煌壁画栩栩如生。故填3D pictures brought Dunhuang wall paintings to life. 3．本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，结合自身喜好，合理作答即可。故填Yes. Because it is interesting. As a new kind of therapy, back sunbathing (晒背) has become popular in Chinese parks in summer. If you visit some parks, you may see a group of people doing back sunbathing. They lie on lawns and turn their backs towards the sun. They believe the therapy can help get dampness (湿气) out of their bodies. Why has back sunbathing been so popular? Zhang Xiao, a back sunbathing lover, said, “I often stay in air-conditioned rooms (空调房) and like cold drinks and spicy (辛辣的) food, so there is a lot of dampness inside my body. Back sunbathing can just make me have more energy than before.” At first, she planned to listen to music while sunbathing, but then she discovered that enjoying the natural sounds in the park was more relaxing. However, medical workers advise people to do back sunbathing in a proper and careful way, because too much sunbathing is harmful to health. Doctor Shi Xiangdong suggested that old people sunbathe during morning hours before 10 a.m., and younger adults do it around noon. He also said that the perfect back sunbathing time should be about 20 to 60 minutes. Moreover, it’s better for people to wear clothing while exposing (暴露) their back areas to sunlight. Never directly expose the head, and use a hat or an umbrella for shade. If you feel unwell during back sunbathing, stop at once to avoid more harm. 1．Where do back sunbathing lovers lie? 2．How should people do back sunbathing according to medical workers? 3．What do you think of back sunbathing? Why? 【答案】1．They lie on lawns. 2．In a proper and careful way. 3．I think it can be helpful if done properly, because it helps reduce dampness and improve energy. 【导语】本文介绍了夏季在中国公园流行的晒背疗法，包括其流行原因、注意事项以及医生的建议。 1．根据第一段“They lie on lawns and turn their backs towards the sun.”可知，晒背爱好者躺在草坪上。故填They lie on lawns. 2．根据第三段“medical workers advise people to do back sunbathing in a proper and careful way”可知，医护人员建议人们以适当且谨慎的方式进行晒背。故填In a proper and careful way. 3．本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一。可结合文中信息（如晒背的好处和注意事项）表达自己的看法并说明理由。故填I think it can be helpful if done properly, because it helps reduce dampness and improve energy. The 2025 Asian Winter Games was a big sports event where sports players from Asia competed in winter sports. It was held in Harbin, China, a city famous for its ice and snow. Let’s learn more about this exciting event! The games included many exciting winter sports, such as skiing, and speed skating. These sports show the beauty and excitement of winter! One encouraging story is about Wang Lin, a Chinese skater. She started skating at the age of 5. At first, she fell many times, but she never gave up.

A composer thinks of a musical idea and writes it on paper for others to read. Instead of writing words, a composer uses musical notation (记号). Other people can read the notes and play them. When they do, they’re playing music that came from the composer’s imagination. Beethoven was a famous German composer. He was born in 1770 in Bonn and began learning the piano when he was only four. He also learned to play the violin. Beethoven visited Vienna, which was a very musical city, in 1787. Two other famous composers lived in Vienna at that time. Wolfgang Mozart and Joseph Haydn met Beethoven and gave his music high praise. Beethoven made friends in Vienna and returned there in 1792. He studied music with Haydn and lived in Vienna for the rest of his life. Beethoven was known as a great pianist, but he wanted to compose his own music. He always seemed to have musical ideas in his head. His notebooks show how hard he worked to get the music just right. He often wrote and then revised his music by scratching it out (删去), so it is possible for us to see how he was thinking about the music. During the late 1790s, Beethoven began to lose his hearing. At first it was difficult for him to hear people and talk with them. Even when he became completely deaf, he did not stop creating music, however. He heard music in his mind even though he couldn’t hear it with his ears. Most people have heard of Beethoven’s Symphony (交响乐) No.5, but they may not know he wrote it when he was growing deaf. A symphony is a long piece of music for orchestra (交响乐团). Symphony No.5 starts like this: ta-ta-ta-TUM. Beethoven used this pattern over and over in his symphony. Try saying it aloud two times: ta-ta-ta-TUM, ta-ta-ta-TUM. 1．When did Beethoven start learning music? 2．During the late 1790s, what difficulty did Beethoven face? 3．Why did Beethoven make greater achievements after losing his hearing? 【答案】1．When he was only four. 2．He began to lose his hearing. 3． Because he had a strong will and didn’t stop creating music. He could hear music in his mind even though he couldn’t hear it with his ears. 【导语】本文主要介绍了贝多芬作为著名作曲家的生平经历、音乐成就，包括其学习音乐的起始时间、失聪后面对的困难以及失聪后仍取得更大成就的原因。 1．根据“He was born in 1770 in Bonn and began learning the piano when he was only four.”可知，贝多芬四岁开始学习音乐。故填When he was only four. 2．根据“During the late 1790s, Beethoven began to lose his hearing.”可知，在18世纪90年代末，贝多芬开始失聪。故填He began to lose his hearing. 3．根据“Even when he became completely deaf, he did not stop creating music, however. He heard music in his mind even though he couldn’t hear it with his ears.”可知，贝多芬在失聪后靠他强大的意志依旧没有停止创作，因此取得了伟大成绩。故填Because he had a strong will and didn’t stop creating music. He could hear music in his mind even though he couldn’t hear it with his ears. Learning a Foreign Language There are many aspects (方面) to language learning, such as how words are said, which words are chosen and what forms of words are used. All of these aspects together can make learning a foreign language difficult. But some advice might make learning a new language easier and more fun. Don’t worry too much about pronouncing words the wrong way. Pronunciation is important, of course. It helps listeners to understand what someone says more clearly. But the most important step in learning a new language is to practise speaking it. As for learning any new skill, practice makes perfect. And most of the time, the native (本地的) speaker is glad to help improve the pronunciation of the words. Don’t be afraid to guess the meaning of what someone says. There are tens of thousands of words in English. It is impossible to know all of them. You may use context (上下文) and body language to guess what others say. For example, when a person says “Hola” and waves his hand, one might guess that the person is giving a greeting. Whether it means “Hello” or “Good morning”, it is not necessarily important at that moment to know the exact meaning. Don’t give up. Learning a new language or skill always takes time. Many will give up learning because it is too hard or boring. Some may think that other people will make fun of them for making mistakes. But it’s OK to make mistakes. Nobody is perfect, after all. Don’t lose hope and keep trying. In the end, learning a new language can be difficult, but remember that it can give great advantages. Learning a language doesn’t just mean the ability to speak in that different language. Don’t forget that learning a language can also include making new friends and experiencing new cultures! 1．What is the most important step in learning a new language? 2．Why is it OK to make mistakes when learning a new language? 3．Is learning a foreign language important? Why or why not? 【答案】1．Practising speaking it. 2．Because nobody is perfect. 3．Yes, it is. Because it can help us speak a different language and experience new cultures. 【导语】本文主要讨论了学习外语的多个方面，包括发音、猜测词义、不放弃等，并指出学习外语虽难但能带来诸多好处，如能说不同语言、结交新朋友和体验新文化。 1．根据第二段“But the most important step in learning a new language is to practise speaking it.”可知，学习一门新语言最重要的步骤是练习说它。故填Practising speaking it. 2．根据第四段“But it’s OK to make mistakes. Nobody is perfect, after all.”可知，学习新语言时犯错是可以的，因为毕竟没有人是完美的。故填Because nobody is perfect. 3．这是一个开放性问题，答案因人而异。但可以根据文章内容和常识来回答。故填Yes, it is. Because it can help us speak a different language and experience new cultures. 阅读下面短文，用英文回答短文后的问题。 Laughter is a common language for humans to connect with each other and form social bonds. Even as babies, we laugh when our parents make funny faces, and then learn to make others laugh as we grow up. But is laughter only for humans? Scientists have studied behaviors in animals and found that animals sometimes do things that are funny. Have you ever seen a dog let people come close to its toy, and then playfully run away with it? Scientists see this as the dog’s way of playing a joke. They also notice dogs teasing each other by walking slowly towards each other and then quickly running away. They believe dogs just want to have fun, and maybe feel less stressed in that way. In a study, researchers studied the behaviors of four kinds of apes (猿类). They saw young apes move quietly behind an adult one and surprise it. Then the young apes waited to see the adult’s reaction. This is similar to how human kids play. So, a sense of humor may have appeared early in our evolution (进化). What about the sound of laughter? Dogs sometimes make a funny noise that sounds like laughter. Dolphins make happy sounds when they’re playing. Even mice can make similar sounds. But does this mean animals are really laughing or that they have a sense of humor? Are they just trying to get attention? “In humans, humor can help break the ice, make us feel more comfortable with each other, and make our friendships stronger,” one of the researchers said. “We don’t know if it’s the same in apes or other animals, but it’s possible.” 1．Do scientists think a dog’s behavior of letting people get close to its toy and then playfully running away is a joke? 2．What do young apes wait to see after surprising an adult ape? 3．Do you think humor plays an important role in humans’ relationships? Why or why not? 【答案】1．Yes, they do. 2．They wait to see the adult ape’s reaction. 3．I think humor plays an important role in humans’ relationships. Because humor can help break the ice, make us feel more comfortable with each other, and make our friendships stronger. 【导语】本文主要探讨了笑是否只是人类的专属，科学家通过研究动物的行为，发现动物有时也会做出一些有趣的事情，展现出类似幽默感的行为，同时探讨了动物笑声的声音以及幽默在人类关系中的重要作用，并推测可能在猿类和其他动物中也有类似的作用。 1．根据第二段“Have you ever seen a dog let people come close to its toy, and then playfully run away with it? Scientists see this as the dog’s way of playing a joke.”可知，科学家们认为狗让人们靠近它的玩具，然后调皮地跑开这种行为是狗开玩笑的方式。故填Yes, they do. 2．根据第三段“They saw young apes move quietly behind an adult one and surprise it. Then the young apes waited to see the adult’s reaction.”可知，小猿猴在惊吓到成年猿猴后会等待看成年猿猴的反应。故填They wait to see the adult ape’s reaction. 3．这是一个开放性问题，答案因人而异。但可以根据文章内容和常识来回答。故填I think humor plays an important role in humans’ relationships. Because humor can help break the ice, make us feel more comfortable with each other, and make our friendships stronger. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 题型03 任务型阅读15篇 (苏州专用) 【题型知识点细目表】 题号 难度 知识点 1 适中 科普知识,说明文,方法/策略,身体部位 2 适中 记叙文,叙事忆旧,文学家 3 适中 社团/俱乐部,其他人,志愿服务,其他语篇 4 适中 说明文,教育,青少年问题 5 较难 记叙文,寓言童话 6 适中 景点/建筑,说明文,环境保护 7 适中 记叙文,家人和亲人,其他人 8 适中 科普知识,说明文 9 适中 记叙文,家人和亲人,自我管理 10 较易 中华文化,说明文,音乐与舞蹈 11 适中 科普知识,说明文,意见/建议 12 较易 说明文,国际赛事 13 较易 记叙文,艺术家 14 适中 说明文,学习策略,方法/策略 15 较易 说明文,人与动植物 【中考真题】 请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。 Every day, we hear sounds all around us—some soft, some loud. But do you know that loud sounds can harm your hearing? Sounds are measured (测量) in decibels (分贝). Look at the chart—some sounds are safe for our ears, but when a sound goes over 85 decibels, it can be harmful to our hearing. To reduce the risk of hearing loss, we shall pay attention to the loudness of the noise, the distance we are to it and how long we listen to it. Noise levels can be measured by sound-level meters (噪声计), but you probably don’t always carry one with you. So how can you tell whether noises are too loud or not? Ask yourself: Do you have to raise your voice to be heard? Do you find it hard to hear someone about a meter away from you? Do the noises make your ears hurt or ring for some time? If your answer is YES to any of these, that probably means the noises are too loud. Headphones are especially tricky. Many people enjoy using them, but they often listen to loud music for too long, or keep the volume (音量) so high that even other people can hear the noise from their headphones. These can lead to hearing loss. Your hearing is a gift. You need it for learning, communicating, and enjoying the world. Once your hearing is harmed, it may never come back. 1．According to the chart, what sounds can harm your hearing? 2．How can you know if the noises are too loud? (Give 2 examples.) 3．Why is hearing important? What can you do to protect it? 请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。 In his lovely piece of writing “Why Write?”, the writer Paul Auster shares a story about growing up as an eight-year-old in New York City. He was crazy about baseball, especially the New York Giants. The only thing he remembers about attending his first major league baseball game is that he saw his hero Willie Mays after the game. The young Auster gathered his courage and went close to his hero. “Mr. Mays,” he said, “could I please have your autograph (签名)?” “Sure, kid, sure,” Mays replied kindly. “Have you got a pencil?” Auster didn’t have a pencil on him, neither did his father or his mother or anyone else in his group. Mays waited patiently, but when it became clear that no one present had anything to write with, he said, “Sorry, kid. We’ve got no pencil. I can’t give you my autograph.” From that day on, Auster made it a habit to never leave the house without a pencil in his pocket. “It’s not that I had any special plans for that pencil,” Auster writes, “but I didn’t want to be unprepared. I had been caught empty-handed once, and I wasn’t about to let it happen again. The years have taught me this: If there’s a pencil in your pocket, there’s a good chance that one day you’ll feel like starting to use it. That’s how I became a writer.” What is your pencil? What is so important that without it you feel unprepared? I know some cartoonists always carry pen and paper and some photographers always have a camera in their pockets. They are always prepared. Pick your “pencil” and don’t leave home without it. 1．To get Willie Mays’ autograph, what did Auster need? 2．What habit did Auster form after that day? 3．What do you think of Auster’s habit? Why do you think so? 请认真阅读下面材料，用英语回答材料后的问题。 Reporter: Why do you love Suzhou? Zekro: When I was a child, my parents told me that love has no boundaries. They told me the purpose of life is to serve people and make contributions to our society. Since my wife and I came to Suzhou twenty-four years ago, I have never stopped showing my love in action. I’ve taught the latest technology to my students in Suzhou University for free. I’ve helped people in need, caring for sick children, sending money to disaster areas and teaching African drumming to poor children. I’ve also worked closely with Suzhou government to introduce Suzhou to foreigners. Many friends often call me the Ambassador(大使) of Suzhou. Reporter: Please tell us about Happy Home Club.

In places like Um Mao and Soak Maew in Nakhon Phanom province, families come together to care for their children, creating a warm and caring environment like a big family. When schools reopened after the long holidays, many children had difficulty getting back to in-person learning. They spent hours on their smartphones, even after finishing their schoolwork. This heavy screen time was affecting their ability to focus and learn in the classroom. Teachers like Aomam, Nice and Pimpam saw this challenge and decided to take action. They worked together to create a special one-day learning recovery (学习恢复) activity that would inspire the children’s enthusiasm (热情) for learning. By bringing in things from their community and inviting local talents to take part, they designed a day filled with fun activities like music, language, sports, and crafts. Through this movement, the teachers hoped to not only include the children but also promote teamwork and develop a deeper connection with nature and science in the community. They understood that the key to success lay in involving (使参与) the children and getting the support of their parents. By encouraging the children to embrace (拥抱) new experiences and setting limits on screen time at home, they hoped to guide the children back to a more balanced and colorful way of life. In the end, the learning recovery activity was a success, showing that with creativity, community involvement, and a focus on holistic education (全人教育), children can find the joy of learning and exploring the world around them. 1．Why did many students find it difficult to return to in-person learning after the holidays?   2．What was the “key to success” in organizing the activity, according to the teachers? 3．Would you like to take part in a one-day learning recovery activity organized by your teachers? Why or why not? 请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。 Once upon a time, there was a king who lost one of his legs and an eye during a war, but his cleverness and kindness made him a great king in his kingdom. One day, the king saw the portraits (肖像) of his ancestors (祖先) on the walls. Thinking that one day his children would admire his portrait as well, he really wanted to have a portrait. So he invited a group of famous painters to the palace, offering a great deal of money to the artist who could create a beautiful portrait for him. All the painters began to wonder how to paint the king who was disabled. They soon thought that was an impossible task, fearing that if the portrait did not look good, they would get punished. So, one by one, they started making excuses and politely refused. Then, one painter said that he wanted to give it a try. The king agreed. The painter started drawing and coloring the portrait carefully in a quiet room. After some time, it was finally completed! All the other painters in the palace couldn’t wait to see what it would look like. When the painter presented the portrait, everyone, including the king, was amazed. The painter made a portrait in which the king was sitting on a horse, showing the one-leg side, holding his bow and aiming the arrow (瞄准箭) with his one eye closed. The king was very pleased to see this beautiful portrait, and gave the painter a lot of money as he promised. 1．What did the king invite these famous painters to the palace to do? 2．Why did the other painters refuse to paint for the king? 3．What do you think of the painter? Why? (开放题，合理即可) Run-down buildings, rotted doors, rusty (生锈的) machines...this is how you might picture an old industrial site. But many of them now have a new look in China. Shougang Industrial Park in Beijing is now a famous and popular culture and sports site. However, it used to be a steel mill that was built in 1919. It once housed 60,000 workers and made more than 10 million tons of iron and steel. To protect the environment, however, the mill slowly reduced its production from 2005 until it closed in 2010. With the government’s support, the old mill has been reborn. Cafes, bookstores, hotels, and offices now fill Shougang’s warehouses and blast furnaces (高炉). Self-driving cars move around the place for testing. And during the 2022 Winter Games, Olympic athletes flew down the Big Air Ramp, which is now in front of Shougang’s former (之前的) cooling towers. Xu Zhaolin, from Beijing, visits the industrial park a lot. “It’s hard to imagine that the park was a steel mill in the past,” said the 24-year-old. “It feels like you’ve come into a sci-fi game. The photos I took there look like cyberpunk (赛博朋克)!” Old factories and workshops across the country are like a book on the history of Chinese manufacturing (制造业). Giving new life to them through protection and development is important for driving cities’ innovation and development, noted People’s Daily. 1．What did Shougang Industrial Park use to be? 2．Why did Shougang close in 2010? 3．What benefits (益处) can giving new life to old factories and workshops bring? (List two benefits.) Jim didn’t like to be kissed. But people loved to kiss Jim! Both of his grandmothers and all of his aunts would kiss his face and say “You are just the cutest thing.” Jim’s best friend, Ben, lived next door. Ben would always laugh at him. “Kissy Face! Kissy Face!” Jim didn’t know what to do. He tried hiding when family came to visit. But his father always called him in to say hello. He tried wearing an old Halloween mask, but his mother made him take it off so his grandmothers and aunts could see his “cute little face.” Jim even tried to make his face and hands sticky, but the grandmothers and aunts just wiped (擦掉) off the stickiness and kissed him even harder. One day, Jim’s mother told him she had a wonderful surprise. There was going to be a new baby in the family. Jim was going to be a big brother. Jim listened but didn’t say anything. He wasn’t sure whether a baby was a wonderful surprise or not. The big day finally came. Jim’s parents brought the new baby home. So the whole family held a big party but this time not for Jim. Soon the whole family arrived. Jim felt upset about being kissed. But the grandmothers and aunts didn’t look at Jim. They all went straight to the new baby and said, “Oh, you are just the cutest thing!” and kept kissing the baby’s face. Then one of the aunts came over to Jim. “Well, you’re a big brother now,” she said. Instead of kissing his face, she just patted his shoulder and smiled. Jim smiled, too. Maybe his days of being “Kissy Face” were over. For him, having a new baby in the family was a wonderful surprise. 1．How did Jim feel about being a big brother at last? 2．What did Jim do in order not to be kissed? 3．What do you think would be a polite way to refuse others’ kindness? The earliest form of writing appeared about 5,500 years ago. In the past, hand writing was an important subject in school. Now, many students sometimes do homework on a computer and turn in their tasks online. Many people think typing (打字) is quick and easy to read, while writing by hand may take longer than typing. But others say writing with a pen and paper is more valuable. Writing by hand has big advantages. Research shows that when we write down ideas with a pen or pencil, we make the brain active to help us learn, remember and think. Writing by hand lets people show their creativity. No two people have the same handwriting. Writing by hand can also help people concentrate. When using a computer, people can go online or play computer games easily. Handwriting may be pretty, however, people can get their ideas and thoughts down more quickly when they type. Typing can also make it easier for people to change. Once something is written by hand, you can’t delete it. If you want to make a change, you have to write it all over again. What’s more, some people’s handwriting may be hard to read. But typing makes everything clear, and no one will have to worry about their words being clear enough. 1．When did people begin to write? 2．How many advantages of typing are mentioned in the passage? 3．If you need to write a report, will you type or handwrite it? Why? Chen Xingrong won five medals, including a gold, at the 11th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 8th National Special Olympic Games. Born in Hainan Province, Chen Xingrong could not say a word until he was 2 years old. When Chen Xingrong was found autistic (患有自闭症的), his parents were worried. In 2012, his father learned that swimming could help people with autism, so he spent months learning how to swim by watching videos and reading books. When Chen Xingrong was 5 years old, he began to teach him how to swim. At the very beginning, he spent three months teaching his son, but all his efforts failed. To his surprise, after another three months, he discovered that his son had developed the ability to control his breath underwater, which greatly increased his confidence, and swimming soon became a key activity of the family. His father planned all his exercises for him at first, but then it was all up to him. He decided how many exercises he wanted to do, and his parents respected his choices. It was a process of self-management. With his father’s help as well as his good self-management and perseverance, he succeeded in winning many medals in the swimming competitions. As well as swimming, learning basic life skills is also an important part of life for a teenager with autism. His father hopes that his son can live well on his own when he and his wife grow old. To help the public to know more about autistic people so as to reduce misunderstanding, he once organized about 500 people to watch an autism-themed film. Thanks to his father’s endless efforts, Chen Xingrong has learned to buy food in the market in their neighbourhood. He also does voluntary jobs at supermarkets and fast-food restaurants, such as arranging shelves and cleaning dining tables. “He is good at skillfully arranging things. He is part of the community, and I hope he will live a wonderful life in the future,” his father says proudly. 1．Why did Chen Xingrong’s father want him to learn swimming? 2．When did Chen Xingrong begin to learn swimming? 3．Would you like to make friends with people with autism? Why or why not? (请自拟一句话作答) Lay Zhang’s (Zhang Yixing) recent concert is a great example of mixing Chinese traditional culture with pop music, with Dunhuang culture as its highlight. This music and visual show, praised by national media, gives new meaning to “traditional is popular” and builds young people’s cultural pride. The show’s core was connecting Dunhuang culture with Lay’s M-POP style. When he sang Flying Apsaras (飞天), short parts from the Dunhuang—themed play Called by Dunhuang were added to the music, linking the song closer to Dunhuang’s history. With camel bells and desert winds in the background, 3D pictures brought Dunhuang wall paintings to life, dancers copied the “flowing clothes, flying like clouds” beauty of apsaras figures. New technology improved the experience. A 2,200-square-meter round screen showed digital classic paintings. Lay wore a 3D-printed golden costume, which was inspired by Dunhuang paintings and was lifted like a Dunhuang apsara, making the audience feel in a Dunhuang cave. After the concert, many students searched for Dunhuang stories online; some planned to visit Mogao Grottoes. Lay’s work proves traditional culture can be cool for teens with pop music. This mix makes concerts fun and helps young people learn more about their culture. 1．What’s the highlight of Lay’s concert? 2．What did 3D pictures do for Dunhuang wall paintings? 3．Do you like the mix of Chinese pop music and traditional culture? Why? As a new kind of therapy, back sunbathing (晒背) has become popular in Chinese parks in summer. If you visit some parks, you may see a group of people doing back sunbathing. They lie on lawns and turn their backs towards the sun. They believe the therapy can help get dampness (湿气) out of their bodies. Why has back sunbathing been so popular? Zhang Xiao, a back sunbathing lover, said, “I often stay in air-conditioned rooms (空调房) and like cold drinks and spicy (辛辣的) food, so there is a lot of dampness inside my body. Back sunbathing can just make me have more energy than before.” At first, she planned to listen to music while sunbathing, but then she discovered that enjoying the natural sounds in the park was more relaxing. However, medical workers advise people to do back sunbathing in a proper and careful way, because too much sunbathing is harmful to health. Doctor Shi Xiangdong suggested that old people sunbathe during morning hours before 10 a.m., and younger adults do it around noon. He also said that the perfect back sunbathing time should be about 20 to 60 minutes. Moreover, it’s better for people to wear clothing while exposing (暴露) their back areas to sunlight. Never directly expose the head, and use a hat or an umbrella for shade. If you feel unwell during back sunbathing, stop at once to avoid more harm. 1．Where do back sunbathing lovers lie? 2．How should people do back sunbathing according to medical workers? 3．What do you think of back sunbathing? Why? The 2025 Asian Winter Games was a big sports event where sports players from Asia competed in winter sports. It was held in Harbin, China, a city famous for its ice and snow. Let’s learn more about this exciting event! The games included many exciting winter sports, such as skiing, and speed skating. These sports show the beauty and excitement of winter! One encouraging story is about Wang Lin, a Chinese skater. She started skating at the age of 5. At first, she fell many times, but she never gave up. Now, she dreams of winning a medal at the next Asian Winter Games. Winter sports are not just for fun, they also help people stay healthy and build teamwork. For example, team sports like ice hockey (冰上曲棍球) teach players how to work together and communicate effectively (有效地). Yuki, a Japanese skier, trains 5 days a week. Her schedule includes skiing practice, strength training, and reviewing her performance to improve. She says, “Training is tough, but it’s worth it. Every day, I get closer to my dream.” The 2025 Asian Winter Games was not just a competition. It was a celebration of hard work, dreams, and the beauty of winter sports. It showed the world how sports can bring people together and inspire (激励) everyone to chase (追逐) their goals! 1．Where was the 2025 Asian Winter Games held? 2．What do these winter sports show? 3．Do you like doing sports? Why or why not? A person who writes music is known as a composer. A composer thinks of a musical idea and writes it on paper for others to read. Instead of writing words, a composer uses musical notation (记号). Other people can read the notes and play them. When they do, they’re playing music that came from the composer’s imagination. Beethoven was a famous German composer. He was born in 1770 in Bonn and began learning the piano when he was only four. He also learned to play the violin. Beethoven visited Vienna, which was a very musical city, in 1787. Two other famous composers lived in Vienna at that time. Wolfgang Mozart and Joseph Haydn met Beethoven and gave his music high praise. Beethoven made friends in Vienna and returned there in 1792. He studied music with Haydn and lived in Vienna for the rest of his life. Beethoven was known as a great pianist, but he wanted to compose his own music. He always seemed to have musical ideas in his head. His notebooks show how hard he worked to get the music just right. He often wrote and then revised his music by scratching it out (删去), so it is possible for us to see how he was thinking about the music. During the late 1790s, Beethoven began to lose his hearing. At first it was difficult for him to hear people and talk with them. Even when he became completely deaf, he did not stop creating music, however. He heard music in his mind even though he couldn’t hear it with his ears. Most people have heard of Beethoven’s Symphony (交响乐) No.5, but they may not know he wrote it when he was growing deaf. A symphony is a long piece of music for orchestra (交响乐团). Symphony No.5 starts like this: ta-ta-ta-TUM. Beethoven used this pattern over and over in his symphony. Try saying it aloud two times: ta-ta-ta-TUM, ta-ta-ta-TUM. 1．When did Beethoven start learning music? 2．During the late 1790s, what difficulty did Beethoven face? 3．Why did Beethoven make greater achievements after losing his hearing? Learning a Foreign Language There are many aspects (方面) to language learning, such as how words are said, which words are chosen and what forms of words are used. All of these aspects together can make learning a foreign language difficult. But some advice might make learning a new language easier and more fun. Don’t worry too much about pronouncing words the wrong way. Pronunciation is important, of course. It helps listeners to understand what someone says more clearly. But the most important step in learning a new language is to practise speaking it. As for learning any new skill, practice makes perfect. And most of the time, the native (本地的) speaker is glad to help improve the pronunciation of the words. Don’t be afraid to guess the meaning of what someone says. There are tens of thousands of words in English. It is impossible to know all of them. You may use context (上下文) and body language to guess what others say. For example, when a person says “Hola” and waves his hand, one might guess that the person is giving a greeting. Whether it means “Hello” or “Good morning”, it is not necessarily important at that moment to know the exact meaning. Don’t give up. Learning a new language or skill always takes time. Many will give up learning because it is too hard or boring. Some may think that other people will make fun of them for making mistakes. But it’s OK to make mistakes. Nobody is perfect, after all. Don’t lose hope and keep trying. In the end, learning a new language can be difficult, but remember that it can give great advantages. Learning a language doesn’t just mean the ability to speak in that different language. Don’t forget that learning a language can also include making new friends and experiencing new cultures! 1．What is the most important step in learning a new language? 2．Why is it OK to make mistakes when learning a new language? 3．Is learning a foreign language important? Why or why not? 阅读下面短文，用英文回答短文后的问题。 Laughter is a common language for humans to connect with each other and form social bonds. Even as babies, we laugh when our parents make funny faces, and then learn to make others laugh as we grow up. But is laughter only for humans? Scientists have studied behaviors in animals and found that animals sometimes do things that are funny. Have you ever seen a dog let people come close to its toy, and then playfully run away with it? Scientists see this as the dog’s way of playing a joke. They also notice dogs teasing each other by walking slowly towards each other and then quickly running away. They believe dogs just want to have fun, and maybe feel less stressed in that way. In a study, researchers studied the behaviors of four kinds of apes (猿类). They saw young apes move quietly behind an adult one and surprise it. Then the young apes waited to see the adult’s reaction. This is similar to how human kids play. So, a sense of humor may have appeared early in our evolution (进化). What about the sound of laughter? Dogs sometimes make a funny noise that sounds like laughter. Dolphins make happy sounds when they’re playing. Even mice can make similar sounds. But does this mean animals are really laughing or that they have a sense of humor? Are they just trying to get attention? “In humans, humor can help break the ice, make us feel more comfortable with each other, and make our friendships stronger,” one of the researchers said. “We don’t know if it’s the same in apes or other animals, but it’s possible.” 1．Do scientists think a dog’s behavior of letting people get close to its toy and then playfully running away is a joke? 2．What do young apes wait to see after surprising an adult ape? 3．Do you think humor plays an important role in humans’ relationships?
