Fashion trends (趋势) are around us, and can be exciting. A trend used to happen in a 20-year cycle, but the latest development of the Internet and clothing business has increasingly cut the length of the cycle short. Now, it seems there comes a new fashion trend every couple of months, but it still follows the same stages:
●A trend is usually first brought in during a big fashion show. Reporters, writers, and some other important people collect what they have learned in the show and predict a trend in the near future.
●Then the trend is talked about online and finally worn by famous people to make it better accepted, which leads to the rise of the trend.
●Once the trend becomes popular, it will go to the public soon. Large clothing companies and shops begin following the trend so that everyone can get their hands on it. This is when the trend gets to the highest point.
●After that, the trend usually falls and becomes out of date. However, this is not always the end, as trends happen in broader cycles and most get popular again.
Trends can be a great way to try something new and test your style. A survey says some people enjoy following trends because they keep fashion exciting and provide fresh ideas. However, others may not think so, especially when a trend doesn’t agree with how they feel about themselves. Trends can be fun, but sometimes prove a waste of money because many simply see trends as brands (品牌). So, should we follow fashion trends?
Clearly, there’s no right answer whether to follow trends or not depends on how they go with your values, spending, and sense of self. It does not hurt to watch trend reports but never choose to follow them unless you really think they fit with your personal style.
1.How long does a new fashion trend last now?
2.Who usually first realizes a new fashion trend?
3.Which situation means the trend has reached the highest point?
4.Why do some people dislike following trends according to the survey?
5.Do you prefer brands when buying clothes? Why or why not?

A total of 23 spotted seals (斑海豹) were put back into the waters off the coast of Dalian in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province on Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2023 as part of China’s continuous efforts to protect endangered wildlife.
The seals were hunted and sold, but have now been saved and marked for future protection. A fishery law enforcement ship arrived at the sea area near Dalian in the morning, carrying the spotted seals. The seals were let go free one by one into the sea. They swam freely in the water, returning to their natural home.
Spotted seals are nationally protected animals in China. They are the only kind of seals that can breed (繁殖) in Chinese waters. Like migratory (迁徙的) birds, they appear around October every year in Liaodong Bay, and take the long journey back to the Northwest Pacific in May after breeding. They are often considered as the “panda of the sea”.
Thanks to China’s top-class national protection in recent years, the population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000, while the global population is between 400,000 and 600,000. Studies have shown that these 2,000 spotted seals are of great importance for the study and research on spotted seals.
To protect this rare animal and its ecological environment, the Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands were set up in 1992. In January 2002, they were included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance. Covering an area of 560,000 hectares with a coastline of about 370 kilometers, the wetlands are rich in biological resources. They have become home to nationally protected animals such as the spotted seal, finless porpoise, killer whales, false killer whales, common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and East Asian river dolphins.
Since 1992, researchers in Dalian have successfully saved 388 spotted seals and put 299 of them back into the wild.
1.Where were the 23 spotted seals put back into the sea?
2.What is the other name of the spotted seal?
3.With China’s protection, what has happened to the spotted seals in Chinese waters?
4.What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to (指的是)?
5.As a student, what can you do to protect wildlife?

Roberta woke up early the next morning. Then she woke up Phyllis and Peter. “We’re in the new house. There are no servants here. We must help Mother now,” whispered Roberta.
Carefully the three children lit the fire and filled a kettle (水壶) with water. They hung the kettle above the fire.
“Mother isn’t awake yet. Let’s go outside and sit on that flat stone,” said Roberta. “Perhaps we will see a train go by.”
When Mother came out at eight o’clock, Roberta, Peter and Phyllis were all fast asleep in the sunshine. They had put the kettle on the fire at five o’clock: three hours ago. All the water had boiled away (烧干). Now there was a hole in the bottom of the kettle. The fire had gone out.
“Never mind,” laughed Mother. “We can boil some water in a pan. And I’ve found the dinner.”
She led them into the kitchen and pointed to a door.
“Last night, I thought this was a cupboard. It was so dark. But look,” she said.
Mother opened the door and the children saw a little room with a table in the middle. On it there was roast beef, bread and butter, cheese and an apple pie.
“Apple pie for breakfast,” cried Peter. “What fun!”
It was a wonderful breakfast. Everyone was very hungry.
“It feels like dinner because we were up so early,” said Peter, as he passed his plate for more apple pie.
When the children had finished, they helped Mother put everything away in the right place.
Then Mother said, “I’m tired. I’m going to lie down for a while. Go out to play but please be careful.”
Roberta, Peter and Phyllis looked at each other. They were all thinking the same thing.
“Let’s go down to the railway,” cried Roberta.
“Listen!” said Phyllis. “I think I can hear a train.”
Peter asked, “Do you think it’s going to London?”
“Father is in London,” replied Roberta. “Let’s go to the station and find out.”

Another rich man in Venice was Shylock. He became rich by lending money to others and making them pay interest (利息). While Antonio thought it wrong to make people pay interest. He said the rich should help the poor. Shylock was very angry about this because many people went to borrow money from Antonio instead of borrowing from him. This meant that Shylock earned less money.
When Bassanio visited Shylock, he asked Shylock to lend him three thousand gold coins and said he would pay it back in three months. “How do I know you can pay it back?” asked Shylock. “My friend Antonio will help me. If I do not pay you in three months, he will do it for me,” Bassanio said. Shylock turned to smile. Perhaps this would be a chance.
So Shylock went to visit Antonio at once. When seeing him, Shylock couldn’t help thinking how much he hated him. However, he did not show his hatred. He tried to be friendly. “It’s three thousand gold coins for three months, isn’t it?” Antonio and Bassanio agreed. “What interest will you pay?” Shylock asked. Before long, Antonio and Shylock were arguing about interest. Antonio called Shylock some bad names. Bassanio was worried and stopped Antonio.
Antonio said sorry to Shylock. “If you lend us this money,” pleaded Antonio, “I will not call you bad names.”
Shylock pretended to be surprised. “Come with me to the judge,” said Shylock, “so that he can write the contract. I will lend you the money for three months. You will pay no interest. Just for fun, however, let’s agree that if you do not pay me on time, you will give me one pound of your flesh from wherever I choose to take it!”
Antonio agreed. He was certain that he was able to pay back the money on time. “My ships come back a whole month before we have to pay the money.”

The cub suddenly found himself near a Native American camp. A man saw him and came toward him. The cub was too afraid to move. The man bent down and stroked the cub. This made the cub angry and he bit the man. The man hit him very hard, and the cub cried out loud.
The she-wolf heard her cub’s cry and ran to the camp to help him. Immediately, one of the men saw her and recognized her. He shouted “Kiche!” at her. This was her name, and she remembered it.

White Fang went up to smell it and he put his nose into it. The pain was very bad. He ran away from it to Kiche. She knew what had happened and licked the burns.

“What should I we call you?” I asked.
“My name is Captain Nemo,” he told us. “The name of my ship is Nautilus.”
Captain Nemo showed me the library, the art gallery and the engine room.
“It’s a wonderful ship!” I exclaimed.
“I love it as if it were my child,” he replied.
“It must have cost a fortune!”
“Millions of dollars,” he replied. “However, I have billions!”
Ned Land and Conseil were as amazed at the ship as I was, but Ned was still interested in trying to find a way to escape. I told him that he should stop thinking about it for the moment.
A few days later, Captain Nemo invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island under the sea. When returned to the Nautilus, we were tired but amazed by what we had seen during the trip. It was an amazing experience.
When we entered the Torres Strait, the Nautilus hit a reef and stopped. We had to wait for the high tide to lift the Nautilus off the reef. We three were allowed to use Captain Nemo’s dinghy to go onto the island. We were excited. When we returned to the island the next day, we were attacked by savages. About one hundred savages followed us and tried to come into the ship. Captain Nemo didn’t worry about them. When they put their hands on the rail, they all fell back and ran away. Captain Nemo had put electricity into the rail. Anybody who touched it would receive an electric shock.
One day, Captain Nemo asked me to follow him to another room and help one of his men. A man lay on a bed with a very bad head wound. I looked at it. “What happened?” Captain Nemo answered, “Something broke in the engine. A heavy piece of metal hit his head.” “He is going to die soon,” I said. “Nothing can save him.” Tears filled Captain Nemo’s eyes, and he asked me to leave.
We sailed through a sea of milk and huge armies of shell sand, sometimes large crowds of sharks. I realized that I did not really want to escape.
1.What does the underlined word “fortune” mean in English?
2.What does the underlined “it” refer to?
3.Why did the savages fall back and run away when they put their hands on the rail?
4.According to the passage, how many times did “I” leave the Nautilus?

There are many different types of landforms. Landforms are natural features on the planet’s surface. You probably know about some of them already!
Deserts are one kind of landform that humans dislike. They are large areas of land that do not receive a lot of rainfall. Each desert has one thing in common; it has less than 10 inches of rain per year. They can be very hot during the day, and very cold at night. It is difficult for many plants and animals to live in deserts.
Mountains are very tall landforms. They are larger than hills, usually more than 600 meters high. 20% of the Earth’s surface is covered by mountains. They are made up of Earth and rock material. Most mountains we know about rise high above the ground, but mountains also lie under the oceans. Mountains are home to different types of plant, animals and even people. The higher the mountain you go up, the colder the temperature becomes. The air at the top of a mountain is thin, so sunlight gets through very easily. This means that even if it feels cold, you can get sunburnt quickly.
Valleys are the spaces between mountains. Some valleys are V-shaped, and some are U-shaped. Many people live in valleys, because they have a comfortable temperature, are protected, and may have rivers flowing through them. River valleys are attractive for humans as they provide good water for drinking and agriculture. They also offer benefits such as fishing, rich soil, and easier transportation.
Plains (平原) are large, flat areas of land. Since flat land is easy to build on, many cities are on plains. Many plants can grow on plains, as well. Some plains are by oceans, and are called ocean plains. Plains that are by rivers are called river plains, and are especially good for growing crops.
1.What is a landform?
2.What does each desert have in common?
3.Write two facts about plains.
4.Why are valleys important to humans?
5.Why can you get sunburnt quickly on the top of a mountain?

My shock and surprise disappeared when I understood that this island was my salvation (得救). I began to shout for help to the people on the island. They did not understand me but they understood that I was in difficulty and made signs for me to move towards them. They moved closer and when I was underneath the island they sent a chair down to me on a chain and pulled me up.
The people on the island were friendly and accepted me but they were incredibly strange. They wore the strangest clothes and they all had their own personal man servant who carried a large balloon on the end of a stick. The servant’s job was to tap (轻拍) his master on his mouth or ear when he needed to speak or listen to something. This was because these masters passed most of their time in intense thought (沉思). They thought about the strangest subjects for hours and hours a day. And as a result they had no sense of practical things in life, such as speaking or listening, or looking where they were going.
I later learnt that this island was called Laputa. Some people took me to speak to the king. When we arrived at his palace, the king was lost in thought and didn’t notice me. I waited for more than an hour until, finally, one of his servant tapped him on the mouth and he spoke.
I didn’t understand their language and could not answer the king. One of the servants tried to tap me on the mouth with his balloon to make me speak. I protested (抗议,反对) very quickly.
“I know exactly when to speak and listen,” I told them. They understood the sense of what I said. But they thought I was a complete idiot because I did not pass my time in thought, too. Then after dinner, a servant came to teach me their language and tell me about life on Laputa.
——Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels
1.Which place did Gulliver come to in the story?
2.How did the people on the island help Gulliver when they saw he was in difficulty?
3.When did the servants tap their masters on the mouth or ear?
4.How did Gulliver feel when being tapped?

One day in autumn, Squire Gordon, my master, went on a trip into town. John, my caretaker, went with him. I pulled the cart. The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily.
Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much higher. My master said to John, “I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain.
We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare (敢于) not go forward, and I made a dead stop. “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward.
“There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward.
“Come on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe.
Just then, the man on the other side saw us.
“Hey! Halloo! Stop!” he cried.
“What’s the matter?” shouted my master.
“The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.”
“Thank you for saving us, Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller.
When we returned home, the Squire told Mrs Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.”
John took me to the stable. Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired.

“Lift the dragon head! Stay together! Hold on your position!” The captain’s voice was loud. The golden dragon shone under the lanterns. The crowd cheered, but I could only hear my own heart beat so fast, waiting for the order from the captain to start. It was the Spring Festival, and I was about to perform my first dragon dance.
Weeks ago, I never imagined being part of this tradition. As an American in China, I had always admired the dragon dance from afar. When I was invited to join the team, I excitedly accepted, thinking it would be easy and fun. However, from the first practice, I realized it was much harder than I expected.
The dragon dance required strength, rhythm, and teamwork. If one person was off, the whole dragon looked awful. The dragon was heavier than I thought, and after minutes of lifting, my arms ached. My legs burned from all the jumping, and I kept stepping out of sync (不同步). Watching my teammates move smoothly, I felt discouraged (泄气) and even considered giving up. But I reminded myself why I had joined—to challenge myself and experience Chinese culture. I kept practicing, learning to feel the rhythm instead of just copying the steps. Slowly, I improved.
Now, the real performance had begun. I listened carefully to the captain’s orders and moved with the beat. The dragon rose and fell, just like the real one. Then came the hardest move—the “Flying Dragon Jump.” I took a deep breath and lifted the dragon as high as I could. It flew through the air and landed smoothly. The crowd cheered loudly.
After the performance, I was breathing hard, and sweat (汗水) covered my face. But as I looked around at the glowing lanterns, my smiling teammates, and the joyful crowd, I felt very proud. I had worked hard, and it had paid off. More than that, I had truly become part of something special.
1.Where does the writer come from?
2.What did the writer think of the dragon dance before the first practice?
3.How long did the writer spend on the practice at most?
4.Why did the writer want to join the dragon dance?
5.What can you learn from the writer’s experience?

I was attracted as soon as I opened The Secret Garden. At that time, I had to get ready for the eighth grade, and I felt the stress of school. It worried me from time to time, so I tried to make myself feel better through reading. This novel was my path to happiness.
Mary, the main character, starts as a selfish and unfriendly girl. I got the impression that her loneliness is what leads to all of her unpopular personalities. Her parents die and she moves to a cold, big house. I wouldn’t be able to accept this if I were her. It surprised me that Mary later discovers a way to pick herself up. Thanks to a robin, she discovers a garden. In the garden, Mary finds every day filled with things to do, including looking after the sad prince Colin, meeting the gardener Ben and playing with the animal-lover Dickon. That’s the life Mary wants! The roses, leaves, all plants make the garden alive. Both Mary and Colin are healthier, kinder, and happier. While reading, the only word I could think of was “Magic”! The garden feels magical - it changes not only the plants, but also the children’s hearts.
After I finished reading this book, I realized that the garden isn’t just a place, it’s like our hearts. There doesn’t have to be a real garden for ourselves, but just an “inner (内心的) garden”. Reading, communicating or just taking a walk can help us create our own “inner garden”. The book also tells us to face failure and pain correctly. We can’t lose ourselves in sadness for long. We should keep moving forward. There is still hope even in hard times. Just as the Indian poet Tagore once said, “If you cry over missing the sun, you will also miss the stars, too.”
1.Why did “I” start reading The Secret Garden?
2.At the beginning of the story, what is Mary like?
3.What are Mary and Colin like after they find the garden?
4.What does the underlined words “inner garden” refer to?
5.How do you deal with the stress, failure and pain?

The rain poured down again. Mary hated it—She couldn’t go out in the bad weather. She looked out of the window and asked Martha, one of her servants (仆人), “What do you do when it rains like this?”
“Eh! Most of us prefer to stay inside and read,” Martha answered. “But Dickon goes out just the same as if the sun was shining. He says he sees things on rainy days as they don’t show on fine days. He once found a wounded fox and brought it home.”
Mary forgot the rain as she listened. She even began to feel slightly interested and said before she thought, “I wish I had a fox. But I have nothing.”
The next morning Mary woke to bright sunshine and ran outside. Then, she found a boy whistling as he dug. When he saw Mary, he touched his cap. “I’m Dickon,” he said.
“The one who helps animals?” she asked.
“Aye, I’m their friend,” he said. Then a robin hopped to his shoulder. “This is Captain. He showed me where the buried (埋藏的) key is.”
Mary’s heart beat quickly. “Key?”
“Yes, for the garden,” said Dickon. “Captain’s nest is in the roses climbing over the wall. When I was weeding (除杂草) below, he kept flying to a place under the leaves. I dug there and found the key.”
Mary took the key Dickon handed over. It was a rusted (生锈的) one, which seemed to keep a secret.
They walked around the walled garden and found a half-buried stone door. Mary put the key into the lock. When the door finally opened, sunlight shone through the roses, brightening the silent garden full of weeds. (取材于扬州市“五个一百工程”指定阅读书目《秘密花园》)

The Ghost moved slowly and silently towards him. And as it moved through the air, it scattered gloom.
The Ghost wore a black robe. The robe covered its head, its face and its body. The only thing visible was a hand. The Ghost neither spoke nor moved. Scrooge was terrified.
“Are you the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come?” asked Scrooge. The Ghost didn’t answer, but it pointed its hand in front of it. “You are going to show me the future,” Scrooge continued. “Am I right, Ghost?”
The Ghost nodded its head. That was the only answer Scrooge received.
“Ghost of the Future,” he said, “I am more afraid of you than of all the other ghosts. But because I want to be a better man, I will go with you. Please, speak to me.”
It didn’t reply. The hand pointed straight in front of them.
“Lead on!?” said Scrooge.
The Ghost moved forwards. Scrooge followed in the shadow of its robe. And the robe carried him along. The city sprang up(突然出现)around them. There they were, in the heart of it. The Ghost stopped beside some businessmen at the Stock Exchange. His hand was pointing to them, so Scrooge listened to their conversation.
“I only know he’s dead,” said a great fat man.
“When did he die?” asked another.
“Last night, I think.”
“What was the matter with him?” asked a third.
“God knows,” said the first, with a yawn.
“What has he done with his money?” asked a red-faced gentleman.
“I don’t know,” said the great fat man, yawning again. “He hasn’t left it to me. That’s all I know.”
Everybody laughed.
“It will be a very small funeral” said the great fat man. “I don’t think anybody will go to it.”
Scrooge knew the men. And he looked towards the Ghost for an explanation. He didn’t understand why this conversation was important. But he knew it must be.
Scrooge looked around the place. He looked at the clock. It was strange. He was usually there at this time but he couldn’t see himself.

When I woke up, I found it difficult to breathe. I wondered how the submarine got air and decided that it must come to the surface every night. Moments later, fresh air came in through a vent above the door. Ned and Conseil woke up. Ned wanted to find a way to escape or attack the crew and take it over. I told him that we needed to be more careful. He should try to control his temper. We were left alone for a long time, and Ned was becoming very angry. Then the door opened and a man came in, Ned attacked him. “Please be calm, Mr. Land!” said a voice. We were surprised to see that it was the captain, speaking French.
“I can speak French, English, German, and Latin,” he said. “I understood everything about your story. I could not visit you again sooner because I had to decide what to do with you. Your ship hunted me; you shot at me with your guns and hit me with your harpoon. You wanted to destroy me. You are my enemies, and I could throw you into the sea to die.”
“No civilized man would do that!” I exclaimed.
“I am not what you call a civilized man,” he replied angrily. “However, I decided that it might be interesting to let you live. You are free to go around the ship and see everything that happens. However, I want you to promise two things.”
“What are they?”
“First, if I tell you to go to your rooms, you will go immediately without fighting.”
“We promise. What is the second promise?”
“You must promise that you will never leave the ship without my permission. If you do not accept this, I will put you outside, and the ship will dive. We will not hear you this time.”

阅读短文,回答下面5个问题,将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。(每题答案不超过10个词)
Fashion trends (趋势) are around us, and can be exciting. A trend used to happen in a 20-year cycle, but the latest development of the Internet and clothing business has increasingly cut the length of the cycle short. Now, it seems there comes a new fashion trend every couple of months, but it still follows the same stages:
●A trend is usually first brought in during a big fashion show. Reporters, writers, and some other important people collect what they have learned in the show and predict a trend in the near future.
●Then the trend is talked about online and finally worn by famous people to make it better accepted, which leads to the rise of the trend.
●Once the trend becomes popular, it will go to the public soon. Large clothing companies and shops begin following the trend so that everyone can get their hands on it. This is when the trend gets to the highest point.
●After that, the trend usually falls and becomes out of date. However, this is not always the end, as trends happen in broader cycles and most get popular again.
Trends can be a great way to try something new and test your style. A survey says some people enjoy following trends because they keep fashion exciting and provide fresh ideas. However, others may not think so, especially when a trend doesn’t agree with how they feel about themselves. Trends can be fun, but sometimes prove a waste of money because many simply see trends as brands (品牌). So, should we follow fashion trends?
Clearly, there’s no right answer whether to follow trends or not depends on how they go with your values, spending, and sense of self. It does not hurt to watch trend reports but never choose to follow them unless you really think they fit with your personal style.
1.How long does a new fashion trend last now?
2.Who usually first realizes a new fashion trend?
3.Which situation means the trend has reached the highest point?
4.Why do some people dislike following trends according to the survey?
5.Do you prefer brands when buying clothes? Why or why not?
【答案】1.Every couple of months. 2.Reporters, writers, and some other important people. 3.Everyone can get their hands on it. 4.Because the trends don’t agree with their self-feeling. 5.No, because personal style matters more.
【导语】本文主要介绍了时尚趋势的周期变化、传播阶段以及人们对追潮流的两种态度,最后提出是否追随潮流取决于个人价值观和风格的匹配。
1.根据“Now, it seems there comes a new fashion trend every couple of months”可知,现在时尚趋势每隔几个月就会出现一次。故填Every couple of months.
2.根据“A trend is usually first brought in during a big fashion show. Reporters, writers, and some other important people collect what they have learned in the show and predict a trend in the near future.”可知,最先意识到新时尚趋势的是记者、作家和一些重要人物。故填Reporters, writers, and some other important people.
3.根据“Large clothing companies and shops begin following the trend so that everyone can get their hands on it. This is when the trend gets to the highest point”可知,大型服装公司和商店开始追随这一趋势,以便每个人都能买到它,这是趋势到达最高点的时候。故填Everyone can get their hands on it.
4.根据“others may not think so, especially when a trend doesn’t agree with how they feel about themselves”可知,部分人因潮流与自我认知不符而不喜欢追随。故填Because the trends don’t agree with their self-feeling.
5.本题为开放性试题,答案不唯一,合理即可。例如:不,因为个人风格更重要。故填No, because personal style matters more.
阅读短文,回答下面5个问题,将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。(每题答案不超过10 个词)
A total of 23 spotted seals (斑海豹) were put back into the waters off the coast of Dalian in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province on Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2023 as part of China’s continuous efforts to protect endangered wildlife.
The seals were hunted and sold, but have now been saved and marked for future protection. A fishery law enforcement ship arrived at the sea area near Dalian in the morning, carrying the spotted seals. The seals were let go free one by one into the sea. They swam freely in the water, returning to their natural home.
Spotted seals are nationally protected animals in China. They are the only kind of seals that can breed (繁殖) in Chinese waters. Like migratory (迁徙的) birds, they appear around October every year in Liaodong Bay, and take the long journey back to the Northwest Pacific in May after breeding. They are often considered as the “panda of the sea”.
Thanks to China’s top-class national protection in recent years, the population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000, while the global population is between 400,000 and 600,000. Studies have shown that these 2,000 spotted seals are of great importance for the study and research on spotted seals.
To protect this rare animal and its ecological environment, the Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands were set up in 1992. In January 2002, they were included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance. Covering an area of 560,000 hectares with a coastline of about 370 kilometers, the wetlands are rich in biological resources. They have become home to nationally protected animals such as the spotted seal, finless porpoise, killer whales, false killer whales, common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and East Asian river dolphins.
Since 1992, researchers in Dalian have successfully saved 388 spotted seals and put 299 of them back into the wild.
1.Where were the 23 spotted seals put back into the sea?
2.What is the other name of the spotted seal?
3.With China’s protection, what has happened to the spotted seals in Chinese waters?
4.What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to (指的是)?
5.As a student, what can you do to protect wildlife?
【答案】1.Off the coast of Dalian in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province. 2. Panda of the sea. 3.The population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000. 4.The Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands. 5.We can join the local activities and raise money for groups to protect wildlife.
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国为保护濒危野生动物而做出的努力。
1.根据“A total of 23 spotted seals (斑海豹) were put back into the waters off the coast of Dalian in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province”可知共有23只斑海豹被放回中国东北辽宁省大连市沿海水域。故填Off the coast of Dalian in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province.
2.根据“They are often considered as the ‘panda of the sea’”可知它们被称为“海洋中的熊猫”。故填Panda of the sea.
3.根据“Thanks to China’s top-class national protection in recent years, the population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000”可知近年来,由于中国的国家一级保护,中国水域的斑海豹数量已达2000只左右。故填The population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000.
4.根据“the Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands were set up in 1992. In January 2002, they were included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance”可知其生态环境,辽宁大连斑海豹湿地于1992年建立,2002年1月,它们被列入《国际重要湿地名录》,故此处they指代“辽宁大连斑海豹湿地”。故填The Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands.
5.开放性试题,言之有理即可。参考答案为We can join the local activities and raise money for groups to protect wildlife.

Roberta woke up early the next morning. Then she woke up Phyllis and Peter. “We’re in the new house. There are no servants here. We must help Mother now,” whispered Roberta.
Carefully the three children lit the fire and filled a kettle (水壶) with water. They hung the kettle above the fire.
“Mother isn’t awake yet. Let’s go outside and sit on that flat stone,” said Roberta. “Perhaps we will see a train go by.”
When Mother came out at eight o’clock, Roberta, Peter and Phyllis were all fast asleep in the sunshine. They had put the kettle on the fire at five o’clock: three hours ago. All the water had boiled away (烧干). Now there was a hole in the bottom of the kettle. The fire had gone out.
“Never mind,” laughed Mother. “We can boil some water in a pan. And I’ve found the dinner.”
She led them into the kitchen and pointed to a door.
“Last night, I thought this was a cupboard. It was so dark. But look,” she said.
Mother opened the door and the children saw a little room with a table in the middle. On it there was roast beef, bread and butter, cheese and an apple pie.
“Apple pie for breakfast,” cried Peter. “What fun!”
It was a wonderful breakfast. Everyone was very hungry.
“It feels like dinner because we were up so early,” said Peter, as he passed his plate for more apple pie.
When the children had finished, they helped Mother put everything away in the right place.
Then Mother said, “I’m tired. I’m going to lie down for a while. Go out to play but please be careful.”
Roberta, Peter and Phyllis looked at each other. They were all thinking the same thing.
“Let’s go down to the railway,” cried Roberta.
“Listen!” said Phyllis. “I think I can hear a train.”
Peter asked, “Do you think it’s going to London?”
“Father is in London,” replied Roberta. “Let’s go to the station and find out.”

Another rich man in Venice was Shylock. He became rich by lending money to others and making them pay interest (利息). While Antonio thought it wrong to make people pay interest. He said the rich should help the poor. Shylock was very angry about this because many people went to borrow money from Antonio instead of borrowing from him. This meant that Shylock earned less money.
When Bassanio visited Shylock, he asked Shylock to lend him three thousand gold coins and said he would pay it back in three months. “How do I know you can pay it back?” asked Shylock. “My friend Antonio will help me. If I do not pay you in three months, he will do it for me,” Bassanio said. Shylock turned to smile. Perhaps this would be a chance.
So Shylock went to visit Antonio at once. When seeing him, Shylock couldn’t help thinking how much he hated him. However, he did not show his hatred. He tried to be friendly. “It’s three thousand gold coins for three months, isn’t it?” Antonio and Bassanio agreed. “What interest will you pay?” Shylock asked. Before long, Antonio and Shylock were arguing about interest. Antonio called Shylock some bad names. Bassanio was worried and stopped Antonio.
Antonio said sorry to Shylock. “If you lend us this money,” pleaded Antonio, “I will not call you bad names.”
Shylock pretended to be surprised. “Come with me to the judge,” said Shylock, “so that he can write the contract. I will lend you the money for three months. You will pay no interest. Just for fun, however, let’s agree that if you do not pay me on time, you will give me one pound of your flesh from wherever I choose to take it!”

阅读并回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过10个词。
“What should I we call you?” I asked.
“My name is Captain Nemo,” he told us. “The name of my ship is Nautilus.”
Captain Nemo showed me the library, the art gallery and the engine room.
“It’s a wonderful ship!” I exclaimed.
“I love it as if it were my child,” he replied.
“It must have cost a fortune!”
“Millions of dollars,” he replied. “However, I have billions!”
Ned Land and Conseil were as amazed at the ship as I was, but Ned was still interested in trying to find a way to escape. I told him that he should stop thinking about it for the moment.
A few days later, Captain Nemo invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island under the sea. When returned to the Nautilus, we were tired but amazed by what we had seen during the trip. It was an amazing experience.
When we entered the Torres Strait, the Nautilus hit a reef and stopped. We had to wait for the high tide to lift the Nautilus off the reef. We three were allowed to use Captain Nemo’s dinghy to go onto the island. We were excited. When we returned to the island the next day, we were attacked by savages. About one hundred savages followed us and tried to come into the ship. Captain Nemo didn’t worry about them. When they put their hands on the rail, they all fell back and ran away. Captain Nemo had put electricity into the rail. Anybody who touched it would receive an electric shock.
One day, Captain Nemo asked me to follow him to another room and help one of his men. A man lay on a bed with a very bad head wound. I looked at it. “What happened?” Captain Nemo answered, “Something broke in the engine. A heavy piece of metal hit his head.” “He is going to die soon,” I said. “Nothing can save him.” Tears filled Captain Nemo’s eyes, and he asked me to leave.
We sailed through a sea of milk and huge armies of shell sand, sometimes large crowds of sharks. I realized that I did not really want to escape.
1.What does the underlined word “fortune” mean in English?
2.What does the underlined “it” refer to?
3.Why did the savages fall back and run away when they put their hands on the rail?

(Any reasonable answer is OK)
【导语】本文讲述了作者一行人和船长Nemo周游海底的故事。
1.根据“‘It must have cost a fortune!’ ‘Millions of dollars,’ he replied.”可知,此处划线部分fortune指一大笔钱。故填A large amount of money./(A lot of ) Money./Much money./Millions of dollars.
2.根据“but Ned was still interested in trying to find a way to escape. I told him that he should stop thinking about it for the moment.”可知,Ned一直想要逃跑,我告诉他现在不是想这个的时候,此处it指代上文提到的“trying to find a way to escape”。故填To escape./(Trying) to find a way to escape.

阅读短文,回答下面5个问题,将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。(每题答案不超过10个词)
There are many different types of landforms. Landforms are natural features on the planet’s surface. You probably know about some of them already!
Deserts are one kind of landform that humans dislike. They are large areas of land that do not receive a lot of rainfall. Each desert has one thing in common; it has less than 10 inches of rain per year. They can be very hot during the day, and very cold at night. It is difficult for many plants and animals to live in deserts.
Mountains are very tall landforms. They are larger than hills, usually more than 600 meters high. 20% of the Earth’s surface is covered by mountains. They are made up of Earth and rock material. Most mountains we know about rise high above the ground, but mountains also lie under the oceans. Mountains are home to different types of plant, animals and even people. The higher the mountain you go up, the colder the temperature becomes. The air at the top of a mountain is thin, so sunlight gets through very easily. This means that even if it feels cold, you can get sunburnt quickly.
Valleys are the spaces between mountains. Some valleys are V-shaped, and some are U-shaped. Many people live in valleys, because they have a comfortable temperature, are protected, and may have rivers flowing through them. River valleys are attractive for humans as they provide good water for drinking and agriculture. They also offer benefits such as fishing, rich soil, and easier transportation.
Plains (平原) are large, flat areas of land. Since flat land is easy to build on, many cities are on plains. Many plants can grow on plains, as well. Some plains are by oceans, and are called ocean plains. Plains that are by rivers are called river plains, and are especially good for growing crops.
1.What is a landform?

My shock and surprise disappeared when I understood that this island was my salvation (得救). I began to shout for help to the people on the island. They did not understand me but they understood that I was in difficulty and made signs for me to move towards them. They moved closer and when I was underneath the island they sent a chair down to me on a chain and pulled me up.
The people on the island were friendly and accepted me but they were incredibly strange. They wore the strangest clothes and they all had their own personal man servant who carried a large balloon on the end of a stick. The servant’s job was to tap (轻拍) his master on his mouth or ear when he needed to speak or listen to something. This was because these masters passed most of their time in intense thought (沉思). They thought about the strangest subjects for hours and hours a day. And as a result they had no sense of practical things in life, such as speaking or listening, or looking where they were going.
I later learnt that this island was called Laputa. Some people took me to speak to the king. When we arrived at his palace, the king was lost in thought and didn’t notice me. I waited for more than an hour until, finally, one of his servant tapped him on the mouth and he spoke.
I didn’t understand their language and could not answer the king. One of the servants tried to tap me on the mouth with his balloon to make me speak. I protested (抗议,反对) very quickly.
“I know exactly when to speak and listen,” I told them. They understood the sense of what I said. But they thought I was a complete idiot because I did not pass my time in thought, too. Then after dinner, a servant came to teach me their language and tell me about life on Laputa.

Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much higher. My master said to John, “I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain.
We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare (敢于) not go forward, and I made a dead stop. “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward.
“There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward.
“Come on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe.
Just then, the man on the other side saw us.
“Hey! Halloo! Stop!” he cried.
“What’s the matter?” shouted my master.
“The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.”
“Thank you for saving us, Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller.
When we returned home, the Squire told Mrs Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.”

“Lift the dragon head! Stay together! Hold on your position!” The captain’s voice was loud. The golden dragon shone under the lanterns. The crowd cheered, but I could only hear my own heart beat so fast, waiting for the order from the captain to start. It was the Spring Festival, and I was about to perform my first dragon dance.
Weeks ago, I never imagined being part of this tradition. As an American in China, I had always admired the dragon dance from afar. When I was invited to join the team, I excitedly accepted, thinking it would be easy and fun. However, from the first practice, I realized it was much harder than I expected.
The dragon dance required strength, rhythm, and teamwork. If one person was off, the whole dragon looked awful. The dragon was heavier than I thought, and after minutes of lifting, my arms ached. My legs burned from all the jumping, and I kept stepping out of sync (不同步). Watching my teammates move smoothly, I felt discouraged (泄气) and even considered giving up. But I reminded myself why I had joined—to challenge myself and experience Chinese culture. I kept practicing, learning to feel the rhythm instead of just copying the steps. Slowly, I improved.
Now, the real performance had begun. I listened carefully to the captain’s orders and moved with the beat. The dragon rose and fell, just like the real one. Then came the hardest move—the “Flying Dragon Jump.” I took a deep breath and lifted the dragon as high as I could. It flew through the air and landed smoothly. The crowd cheered loudly.
After the performance, I was breathing hard, and sweat (汗水) covered my face. But as I looked around at the glowing lanterns, my smiling teammates, and the joyful crowd, I felt very proud. I had worked hard, and it had paid off. More than that, I had truly become part of something special.
1.Where does the writer come from?
2.What did the writer think of the dragon dance before the first practice?
3.How long did the writer spend on the practice at most?
4.Why did the writer want to join the dragon dance?
5.What can you learn from the writer’s experience?
【答案】1.From America/the USA. 2.Easy and fun. 3.Weeks/For several weeks. 4.To challenge himself and experience Chinese culture. 5.回答合理即可。参考答案:Never give up easily/Practice makes perfect/Hard work brings success.

I was attracted as soon as I opened The Secret Garden. At that time, I had to get ready for the eighth grade, and I felt the stress of school. It worried me from time to time, so I tried to make myself feel better through reading. This novel was my path to happiness.
Mary, the main character, starts as a selfish and unfriendly girl. I got the impression that her loneliness is what leads to all of her unpopular personalities. Her parents die and she moves to a cold, big house. I wouldn’t be able to accept this if I were her. It surprised me that Mary later discovers a way to pick herself up. Thanks to a robin, she discovers a garden. In the garden, Mary finds every day filled with things to do, including looking after the sad prince Colin, meeting the gardener Ben and playing with the animal-lover Dickon. That’s the life Mary wants! The roses, leaves, all plants make the garden alive. Both Mary and Colin are healthier, kinder, and happier. While reading, the only word I could think of was “Magic”! The garden feels magical - it changes not only the plants, but also the children’s hearts.
After I finished reading this book, I realized that the garden isn’t just a place, it’s like our hearts. There doesn’t have to be a real garden for ourselves, but just an “inner (内心的) garden”. Reading, communicating or just taking a walk can help us create our own “inner garden”. The book also tells us to face failure and pain correctly. We can’t lose ourselves in sadness for long. We should keep moving forward. There is still hope even in hard times. Just as the Indian poet Tagore once said, “If you cry over missing the sun, you will also miss the stars, too.”
1.Why did “I” start reading The Secret Garden?
2.At the beginning of the story, what is Mary like?
3.What are Mary and Colin like after they find the garden?
4.What does the underlined words “inner garden” refer to?
5.How do you deal with the stress, failure and pain?
【答案】1.To relieve school stress. 2.Selfish and unfriendly. 3.Healthier, kinder and happier. 4.Our hearts. 5.Create an inner garden and stay hopeful.
【导语】本文主要介绍《秘密花园》这本书以及作者读完的感受。

The rain poured down again. Mary hated it—She couldn’t go out in the bad weather. She looked out of the window and asked Martha, one of her servants (仆人), “What do you do when it rains like this?”
“Eh! Most of us prefer to stay inside and read,” Martha answered. “But Dickon goes out just the same as if the sun was shining. He says he sees things on rainy days as they don’t show on fine days. He once found a wounded fox and brought it home.”
Mary forgot the rain as she listened. She even began to feel slightly interested and said before she thought, “I wish I had a fox. But I have nothing.”
The next morning Mary woke to bright sunshine and ran outside. Then, she found a boy whistling as he dug. When he saw Mary, he touched his cap. “I’m Dickon,” he said.
“The one who helps animals?” she asked.
“Aye, I’m their friend,” he said. Then a robin hopped to his shoulder. “This is Captain. He showed me where the buried (埋藏的) key is.”
Mary’s heart beat quickly. “Key?”
“Yes, for the garden,” said Dickon. “Captain’s nest is in the roses climbing over the wall. When I was weeding (除杂草) below, he kept flying to a place under the leaves. I dug there and found the key.”
Mary took the key Dickon handed over. It was a rusted (生锈的) one, which seemed to keep a secret.
They walked around the walled garden and found a half-buried stone door. Mary put the key into the lock. When the door finally opened, sunlight shone through the roses, brightening the silent garden full of weeds. (取材于扬州市“五个一百工程”指定阅读书目《秘密花园》)

The Ghost moved slowly and silently towards him. And as it moved through the air, it scattered gloom.
The Ghost wore a black robe. The robe covered its head, its face and its body. The only thing visible was a hand. The Ghost neither spoke nor moved. Scrooge was terrified.
“Are you the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come?” asked Scrooge. The Ghost didn’t answer, but it pointed its hand in front of it. “You are going to show me the future,” Scrooge continued. “Am I right, Ghost?”
The Ghost nodded its head. That was the only answer Scrooge received.
“Ghost of the Future,” he said, “I am more afraid of you than of all the other ghosts. But because I want to be a better man, I will go with you. Please, speak to me.”
It didn’t reply. The hand pointed straight in front of them.
“Lead on!?” said Scrooge.
The Ghost moved forwards. Scrooge followed in the shadow of its robe. And the robe carried him along. The city sprang up(突然出现)around them. There they were, in the heart of it. The Ghost stopped beside some businessmen at the Stock Exchange. His hand was pointing to them, so Scrooge listened to their conversation.
“I only know he’s dead,” said a great fat man.
“When did he die?” asked another.
“Last night, I think.”
“What was the matter with him?” asked a third.
“God knows,” said the first, with a yawn.
“What has he done with his money?” asked a red-faced gentleman.
“I don’t know,” said the great fat man, yawning again. “He hasn’t left it to me. That’s all I know.”
Everybody laughed.
“It will be a very small funeral” said the great fat man. “I don’t think anybody will go to it.”
Scrooge knew the men. And he looked towards the Ghost for an explanation. He didn’t understand why this conversation was important. But he knew it must be.
Scrooge looked around the place. He looked at the clock. It was strange. He was usually there at this time but he couldn’t see himself.
