And we 2 (allow) to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel trapped; sometimes we are fearful. When we look back on all the difficulties in life with a positive attitude, we realise that all of our growing pains 3 (actual) turn into growing gains! When I was a young girl, my parents 4 (order) my sisters and me to do many things we never liked. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. 5 that time I hated music. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I realise that my parents and teachers were always pushing me forward, not because they wanted me 6 (suffer), but because they wanted me to succeed in life. Every moment in our lives is precious, so live life to the fullest! We are all going to experience growing 7 (pain), but they are just small pains in life. They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel 8 we had no fear and lived a life like that. The future is 9 (our). A little hard work and sweat never harm anyone! If we realise that these pains are just small bumps on our road to 10 (succeed), we will find that our growing pains are actually growing gains. 【答案】 1．a 2．aren’t allowed 3．actually 4．ordered 5．At 6．to suffer 7．pains 8．if 9．ours 10．success 【导语】本文通过讲述作者小时候学习乐器的经历，说明在成长的道路上短暂的痛苦并不可怕，只要我们正确看待痛苦，它就会让我们在成长的过程中收获很多。 1．句意：成长并不容易。它可能是一种真正的“痛苦”。根据“real ‘pain’”可知，此处泛指一种真正的“痛苦”，且real以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a。故填a。 2．句意：并且我们不被允许做所有我们喜欢的事情。根据语境可知，此处描述一般情况，用一般现在时，主语we与allow之间是被动关系，用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是复数，be动词用are，否定形式是aren’t。故填aren’t allowed。 3．句意：当我们以积极的态度回顾生活中的所有困难时，我们意识到我们所有的成长痛苦实际上都变成了成长收获！根据“turn into”可知，此处用副词修饰动词，actual的副词是actually。故填actually。 4．句意：当我还是个小女孩的时候，我的父母命令我和我的姐妹们做很多我们从来不喜欢的事情。根据“When I was a young girl”可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时，动词用过去式ordered。故填ordered。 5．句意：在那个时候我讨厌音乐。根据“that time”可知，此处用at that time表示“在那个时候”，句首首字母大写。故填At。 6．句意：我意识到我的父母和老师总是推动我前进，不是因为他们想让我受苦，而是因为他们想让我在生活中取得成功。根据“wanted me”可知，此处用want sb. to do sth.表示“想要某人做某事”，所以用动词不定式to suffer。故填to suffer。 7．句意：我们都会经历成长的痛苦，但它们只是生活中的小痛苦。根据语境可知，此处用名词复数表示泛指，pain的复数是pains。故填pains。 8．句意：想一想如果我们没有恐惧，过着那样的生活，我们会有什么感觉。根据“we had no fear and lived a life like that”可知，此处是假设的情况，用if引导条件状语从句。故填if。 9．句意：未来是我们的。根据“The future is”可知，此处表示“未来是我们的”，用名词性物主代词ours代替our future。故填ours。 10．句意：如果我们意识到这些痛苦只是我们通往成功道路上的小颠簸，我们会发现我们的成长痛苦实际上是成长收获。根据“road to”可知，此处用名词形式，succeed的名词是success。故填success。 阅读下面短文。根据语境、音标或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个恰当的词，要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。 Nowadays, lots of students in China are so busy studying that they hardly help their parents do housework.

Many people check apps like Instagram, TikTok, or X every day. Some adults think young people only use these apps for fun and chat. But the truth is different. A new study asked 800 young people, aged 16 to 24, about how they use social media. The results are interesting. We learned that many young people use social media to learn and help others. For example, 68% of them follow accounts that teach new skills. They learn things like how to speak a new language, play an instrument, or make things by hand. Also, 55% join online groups about their hobbies, like reading or protecting the environment. About 60% use social media to learn about news and important problems in the world. Of course, young people still like to have fun. They use social media to talk with friends, share their lives, and watch funny videos. But the study also shows that they know the bad parts of social media. Sometimes, there is pressure to show a perfect life. Sometimes, people see bullying and mean things online. One 20-year-old in the study said, “Social media is like a knife. You can use it to cook good food, or you can hurt someone. It depends on how you use it.” So, how can we use social media in a better way? Experts give some ideas. They say we should think about who we follow and why.

Some people love the challenge of algebra (代数) or enjoy solving number puzzles like Sudoku. Maths is everywhere in our daily lives. For example, we use it to share the bill after eating out or calculate household expenses. But many people feel scared when they have to deal with numbers and figures. They may feel worried and confused. Maths can seem difficult, but this “maths anxiety” is totally normal. You’re definitely not the only one who feels this way. What’s more, our worries and fears don’t always show how good we really are at maths. The problem usually starts when we’re children at school. Studies have found that if a maths teacher feels nervous about teaching the subject, they might pass this anxiety on to their students. Girls may have more difficulties. A global student survey showed that across 34 countries, about 31% of 15 and 16-year-olds said they felt very nervous doing maths problems. 33% said they got stressed when doing maths homework, and nearly 60% worried that maths classes would be hard. An expert from Boston University said that giving students, especially girls, good examples is very important, especially when they’re young. She thinks we need more people—especially women—who love maths to teach young children. No one is sure why maths causes more fear than subjects like geography or physics. But unlike some subjects, maths has clear right or wrong answers—there’s no way to guess. This may make people more worried about doing badly. Once we think we’re “not good at maths”, we avoid trying problems that we could probably solve. Psychologists (心理学家) have tried to find out why maths makes some people stressed. This fear may come from many places. Some experts say talking about your fears can make them less powerful. We should inspire (启迪) children to see maths tests as challenges. Ideally, we need to think positively about maths and give it another try. 1．What percentage of the students got stressed? A．31%. B．33%. C．34%. D．35%. 2．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the first paragraph? A．To explain how to calculate. B．To show the importance of Sudoku. C．To introduce the topic of the passage. D．To tell readers how to learn maths well. 3．What can help reduce the maths anxiety according to the passage? A．Ask psychologists for practical advice. B．Give up maths problems you find hard. C．Describe your fears to reduce their effects. D．Stop paying attention to the stress from maths tests. 4．What is the best title for this passage? A．The history of maths B．Advice on learning maths C．Understanding maths anxiety D．How teachers cause maths fear 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文主要探讨了数学焦虑这一普遍现象，阐述了其产生的原因、影响，并提出了应对数学焦虑的方法。许多人在面对数学时会感到恐惧和焦虑，这种焦虑往往始于学生时代，且女生可能面临更多困难。心理学家试图找出数学引发压力的原因，并建议通过积极面对和再次尝试来缓解数学焦虑。 1．细节理解题。根据“33% said they got stressed when doing maths homework”可知，33%的学生表示做数学作业时感到有压力，所以是33%的学生感到有压力。故选B。 2．主旨大意题。第一段通过提出“你在数学方面表现如何”这一问题，引出许多人在面对数字和计算时会感到害怕、焦虑这一现象，进而引出文章关于数学焦虑的话题，所以作者写第一段的目的是引入文章主题。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Some experts say talking about your fears can make them less powerful.”可知，一些专家表示，谈论你的恐惧可以让它们的影响力减弱，所以描述你的恐惧可以减少它们的影响，这有助于减轻数学焦虑。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。文章主要围绕数学焦虑展开，介绍了数学焦虑产生的原因、表现以及应对方法等，所以“Understanding maths anxiety”（了解数学焦虑）最能概括文章主旨，适合作为标题。故选C。 Here are four middle school students’ problems about their life.

Many people check apps like Instagram, TikTok, or X every day. Some adults think young people only use these apps for fun and chat. But the truth is different. A new study asked 800 young people, aged 16 to 24, about how they use social media. The results are interesting. We learned that many young people use social media to learn and help others. For example, 68% of them follow accounts that teach new skills. They learn things like how to speak a new language, play an instrument, or make things by hand. Also, 55% join online groups about their hobbies, like reading or protecting the environment. About 60% use social media to learn about news and important problems in the world. Of course, young people still like to have fun. They use social media to talk with friends, share their lives, and watch funny videos. But the study also shows that they know the bad parts of social media. Sometimes, there is pressure to show a perfect life. Sometimes, people see bullying and mean things online. One 20-year-old in the study said, “Social media is like a knife. You can use it to cook good food, or you can hurt someone. It depends on how you use it.” So, how can we use social media in a better way? Experts give some ideas. They say we should think about who we follow and why. It is good to choose to see useful and happy things online. We should also remember to take a rest and do things offline. Parents and teachers can help, too. They can talk with young people about how to use the Internet safely and kindly. 1．According to the survey, how many teenagers use the Internet to develop hobbies? A．800. B．544. C．440. D．480. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A．A knife. B．Social media. C．Good food. D．Study result. 3．Which of the following things will young people do online according to the passage? a. Chat with friends. b. Learn new skills. c. Watch funny videos. d. Shop for clothes. e. Learn about news. f. Play games. A．a, b, c, e B．a, b, d, f C．b, c, d, e D．a, c, e, f 4．What can we infer from the experts’ suggestions? A．Young people should use social media less. B．It is important to use social media in the right way. C．Social media is only useful for learning new skills. D．Parents should control everything young people do online. 5．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To show the popularity of social media. B．To tell us the bad things about social media. C．To share some funny stories about using social media. D．To change public opinions on social media and guide its proper use. How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of algebra (代数) or enjoy solving number puzzles like Sudoku. Maths is everywhere in our daily lives. For example, we use it to share the bill after eating out or calculate household expenses. But many people feel scared when they have to deal with numbers and figures. They may feel worried and confused. Maths can seem difficult, but this “maths anxiety” is totally normal. You’re definitely not the only one who feels this way. What’s more, our worries and fears don’t always show how good we really are at maths. The problem usually starts when we’re children at school. Studies have found that if a maths teacher feels nervous about teaching the subject, they might pass this anxiety on to their students. Girls may have more difficulties. A global student survey showed that across 34 countries, about 31% of 15 and 16-year-olds said they felt very nervous doing maths problems. 33% said they got stressed when doing maths homework, and nearly 60% worried that maths classes would be hard. An expert from Boston University said that giving students, especially girls, good examples is very important, especially when they’re young. She thinks we need more people—especially women—who love maths to teach young children. No one is sure why maths causes more fear than subjects like geography or physics. But unlike some subjects, maths has clear right or wrong answers—there’s no way to guess. This may make people more worried about doing badly. Once we think we’re “not good at maths”, we avoid trying problems that we could probably solve. Psychologists (心理学家) have tried to find out why maths makes some people stressed. This fear may come from many places. Some experts say talking about your fears can make them less powerful. We should inspire (启迪) children to see maths tests as challenges. Ideally, we need to think positively about maths and give it another try. 1．What percentage of the students got stressed? A．31%. B．33%. C．34%. D．35%. 2．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the first paragraph? A．To explain how to calculate. B．To show the importance of Sudoku. C．To introduce the topic of the passage. D．To tell readers how to learn maths well. 3．What can help reduce the maths anxiety according to the passage? A．Ask psychologists for practical advice. B．Give up maths problems you find hard. C．Describe your fears to reduce their effects. D．Stop paying attention to the stress from maths tests. 4．What is the best title for this passage? A．The history of maths B．Advice on learning maths C．Understanding maths anxiety D．How teachers cause maths fear Here are four middle school students’ problems about their life. Wendy likes music very much. Her dream is to be a singer. She usually listens to music while she is doing her homework.

Nowadays, short videos have gotten millions of views online. Many people create (制作) and share short videos on popular video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou. You can also add music and special effects (特效) to your videos. The videos are 15 seconds to a few minutes long. They show people doing activities like cooking, exercising and singing. Teenagers enjoy these videos. More than 50 percent of first and second year high school students said they enjoy watching these short videos. About 47 percent have posted their own videos, according to a recent report by the China National Youth Palace Association. The videos let teenagers see funny and exciting things they wouldn’t usually see. Many teens like to share the fun things they do with others as well. For example, a 12-year-old user named Xiaoqianyu has posted (上传) videos showing her learning jazz dance. This has won her many fans. But the videos can also bring trouble. Some students spend too much time watching them and don’t spend enough time studying. Some videos have vulgar content (低俗的内容) that is not good for teenagers’ minds. To deal with (处理) this problem, Douyin has added something new. It stops the app if someone uses the app for over two hours a day. Meanwhile, the government also did something to stop vulgar content videos from video apps, The Beijing News reported. 1．What can teenagers do by using the short video apps?

It seems that games are his whole world. He stays up late to play games but sleeps in class. His study is getting worse and worse. His mom is so worried that she has to cut off the network at home. Xiaoxi told his mom he wouldn’t play games anymore and asked for a mobile phone for study. But later, his mom still found Xiaoxi kept on playing games on the mobile phone. His father got so angry that he beat him. As a result, Xiaoxi ran away from home, and the worried parents had to call the police to look for him. Xiaoxi is typical (典型的) of teenagers’ Internet addiction (瘾). It’s bad for teenagers’ body and mind. In fact, there are some factors (因素) for teenagers’ Internet addiction. First, some teenagers can’t find a sense of achievement (成就感) in their studies, so they don’t want to study. If they spend less energy on study, they will put more in other places, such as games. Besides, some parents often beat and scold (训斥) their children, so the children are afraid of them and become not interested in talking with their family. It’s in the games that they can find some comfort and joy. And the last factor comes from the teenagers themselves. Some of them have communication (交流) barriers (障碍) with people around them, but love to talk with people in the virtual (虚拟的) world. No one knows them there. It’s the best way for them to escape from the real world. 1．Did Xiaoxi really ask for a mobile phone to study? 2．What happened to Xiaoxi after his father beat him? 3．According to the passage, what are the factors for teenagers’ Internet addiction? (no more than 10 words) 4．Do you have any good idea for helping Xiaoxi get out of Internet addiction?
