For the first time in history, people could talk to someone far away just like they were in the same room. But today, phones can do much more than just make calls! The story of mobile phones began with two-way radios. These early devices (设备) had a big problem—they only worked when people were close to each other. In the 1940s, smart scientists found a way. They built tall radio towers across the country to pass signals (信号) easily. Everything changed in 1973 when Dr. Martin Cooper made the first real mobile phone call. During the 1980s, mobile phones became smaller but were still very expensive. Only rich business people could afford them, and the phones looked like big plastic bricks. The 1990s brought another big change. Phones became cheaper and smaller, fitting easily in pockets. Soon, almost everyone had one. Text messaging became popular. People started writing short messages instead of making phone calls. Meeting time became more flexible (灵活的) because you could just text “I’ll be 15 minutes late.” Now we have smartphones—like powerful mini-computers in our pockets. We use them to take photos, watch videos, play games, and even help with housework! Messaging apps let us send videos and long messages easily. While phones help us stay connected, some people worry that we spend too much time on them. Looking back, it’s amazing how phones have changed. From Bell’s simple telephone to today’s smartphones, this has truly changed our lives. What will phones be able to do next? Only time will tell! 请将答案写在答题卡上。 1．When did Alexander Graham Bell invent the telephone? 2．Why did scientists build tall radio towers in the 1940s? 3．Who made the first real mobile phone call? 4．How can smartphones help us in our lives? (请给出两个例子) 5．What do you think the future phones might be like?

Different from films, the shadow play (皮影戏) needs more attention. In the past years, Chinese artists have been trying to help it survive. Their effort has got encouragement and support from the government. In 2011, the shadow puppet (木偶) play was added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (遗产) list. Most of the puppets were made of leather from animals, like donkeys and sheep. The leather must be carefully chosen, and then people make them smooth. When the leather becomes smooth enough, the artists would paint the characters on it, and then cut them out with different tools. The body parts of the puppets are separately cut out and joined together, so that they could have 24 movable joints (关节). Puppet players hold them with sticks connected to their most important joints during the performance. The experienced players could act five sticks on one puppet with only one hand. Most of them show interest in puppet performances, so they can play several traditional instruments. They are also needed to sing local operas, and have a good sense of music. Xue Hongquan has found ways to protect it from disappearing. He improved the traditional performance and added modern music, light as well as performing skills. Xue’s puppets could not only perform old plays, but could imitate (模仿) modern dances. “The art could be passed on to only by making more people love it and accept it,” said Xue. “So it is our duty to do something for our traditional art.” 1．When was the shadow puppet play added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list? 2．What were most of the puppets made of? 3．What do the artists do after the leather becomes smooth enough? 4．What has Xue Hongquan added into the shadow play to help it survive? 5．As a student, what can we do for our traditional art? 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 In Yangla, a remote town located in the mountains of Yunnan’s Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture over 3,000 meters above sea level, 32-year-old Doctor Nasheng devotes herself to caring for more than 5,400 villagers. Nasheng studied Tibetan medicine at Qinghai University. Her love for this field started in childhood. She was always curious about Chinese medicine. But what truly pushed her was seeing her fellow villagers struggle with healthcare. “They once had to travel far to see doctors inland. Long trips, language barriers, and cultural differences made it even harder,” she said, adding that many elderly villagers only speak Tibetan. This made her decide to learn Tibetan medicine and return to help her hometown. She joined Yangla’s town health center in September 2021. Although her hometown Yunling is in the same county, getting to Yangla takes a tiring 7~8 hour drive—crossing Baima Snow Mountain and following a winding path along the Jinsha River. She lives in a simple room inside the hospital ward, and the town only has one barbecue restaurant for entertainment. But she never thinks of giving up. Yangla’s villages spread across over 1,000 square kilometers, so the health center holds monthly mobile free clinics. On Nasheng’s first clinic trip, she and her team drove 5 hours, then met a mudslide. They had to carry all medical supplies over the mountain on foot. After treating an elderly patient who worried about getting follow-up care, she suggested building a small health station. With local government support, one opened in June 2022, making it easier for villagers to see doctors. In 2023, she also helped set up a herbal bath room to ease villagers’ rheumatism and joint pain. Nasheng keeps improving her skills. In 2024, she trained in Tibet to learn therapies like bloodletting and Tibetan stick therapy. Villagers love her: an 80-year-old gave her rare fruit (picked from a lower-altitude town), and last Spring Festival, they invited her team to a warm Tibetan party. Looking ahead, Nasheng wants to study for a master’s degree to learn more acupuncture. “But no matter where I go,” she said, “I’ll always come back—this is my home.” 请将答案写在答题卡上。 1．Where is Yangla town? 2．What problems did villagers in Yangla town have getting health care? 3．When did Nasheng join Yangla town’s health center? 4．Why did Nasheng set up a herbal bath room in 2023? 5．After reading the passage, what touches you most?

By the time you are fully grown, your body will be up to 20,000 times larger. That’s a lot of growing! The secret to the growth lies in your cells. In all animals—humans included—growth happens when cells get bigger, break apart to create new cells, and connect together. Even when you stop getting taller, this cellular activity never truly ends. Your body continues to renew itself throughout your life as worn-out cells are replaced by new ones. Your skin, muscles, blood, bones—even your brain—are constantly renewing themselves. In fact, every 7 to 10 years, nearly all the cells in your body are replaced, meaning you’re not the same person you were a few years ago! Different parts of your body grow at different speeds. By age 10, your head is already close to its adult size, while the rest of your body may need another 10 years to catch up. Inside your body, organs like your heart, lungs, and liver each follow their own growth timetable. Your height comes mainly from how your bones develop, especially your spine (脊柱) and the long bones in your arms and legs. Growth doesn’t happen at a steady (稳定的) pace. It speeds up quickly during two main times of fast growth: the first when you are a baby, and the second when you are a teenager. During your first year of life, you grew about 25 centimeters! After that period, growth slowed to about 3—8 centimeters each year. But during your teenage years, you might suddenly grow 10 centimeters or more in a single year. Your adult height is mostly set by the genes you get from your parents. To reach this natural height, your body needs good building materials: healthy food, enough sleep, exercise, and sunshine for strong bones. 请将答案写在答题卡上。 1．Where does the secret to the growth lie? 2．How often are nearly all the cells in your body renewed? 3．Where does your height mainly come from? 4．When are the main times of fast growth? 5．What do you think your body needs to reach natural height? Is there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets? For years, scientists said “no” or “We don’t know”. But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers. They believe intelligent life is somewhere in the universe (宇宙). They also think we will soon  communicate with them. Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life is on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” said Shostak and Barnett. The other one is size—the universe is huge.” Tools like the Hubble telescope (哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies (星系),” says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth.” In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life. Has intelligent life from space already visited Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak. “It’s a long way away. However, intelligent life may contact us in other ways, such as sending radio signals (信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don’t have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.” 1．What made Seth and Alexandra believe that there is intelligent life on other planets? 2．Which galaxy is the Earth in? 3．Why is it possible to discover smaller planets in the universe now? 4．How may intelligent life contact us? 5．What do you think of intelligent life on other planets?

He has now set the record as the youngest person to fly around the world alone. Mack’s flight began in Bulgaria, where he took off on March 23. He was 16 at the time, but celebrated his birthday during his trip around the world. He flew in a small, two-seater microlight airplane, able to fly at speeds of about 186 mph (300 kph). One of the plane’s seats was replaced with an extra gas tank, which allowed Mack to cover longer distances. The plane also had satellite communications that let Mack stay in touch with people on the ground. Mack’s route took him over Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. He visited 30 countries in all and covered 33,630 miles. Though Mack expected his trip to take two to three months, he had to change his ideas. In some places, he had to wait long for getting permission (批准) to fly. Other problems required major changes to his flight plan. Mack also faced lots of other challenges, many of them related to extreme weather. In Sudan, Mack had to deal with sandstorms. He had to fly through heavy rain in India, and ended up with water in his gas tanks. He said crossing the Pacific Ocean was the most difficult part of the trip. After a 10-hour flight from Japan, he had to land-just as it was getting dark-on an island with no one else on it. He spent the night in the open air. In spite of all the difficult times, Mack described the trip as “amazing”. Now Mack has set the record for the youngest person to fly around the world alone, beating 18-year-old English pilot, Travis Ludlow, who set the record last year. Mack says he hopes his trip will show young people they can make a difference. “You don’t need to be 18 to do something special. Just follow your dreams and they will eventually come true,” he said. 1．How long did it take Mack to fly around the world? 2．How did Mack keep in touch with people on the ground? 3．Which part of the trip was the most difficult for Mack? 4．How many continents (大洲) did Mack travel across? 5．Do you think Mack is a role model (榜样) for young people? Why or why not? (请自拟一句话作答) Are you an “I person” or an “E person”? These two personality labels (个性标签) are widely discussed online. They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI. All of the results have four letters, and there are 16 results in total. “I” stands for “introverted (内向的)” and “E” refers to “extroverted”. Even if someone is typically quiet, many online discussions suggest that an “I” person can still act outgoing at times. For example, when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends, they might become more social like an “E person”. According to experts, this is called “masking”. That is hiding your true personality in some situations. Because human beings want to get the sense of belonging by pleasing others. Using the MBTI result to identify (识别) and describe someone’s personality seems fun. However, I went too far at one time. My sister was excitedly making a day-to-day travel plan when I remembered from an article that “P people” don’t like to make or stick to plans, so I said to her, “You don’t seem like a ‘P person’”. “Why?” she asked back. “Since when do I need to follow what my personality test tells me to do?” It was then I realized I’d taken the result too seriously. The MBTI personality test may show something you don’t know about yourself and can even be a fun ice-breaker question when meeting new friends. And that’s all it is—for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person. And those four letters of yours don’t define (定义) who you are. 1．What is MBTI? 2．How many personality label results were mentioned in total? 3．How does the writer identify and describe someone’s personality? 4．Why does the writer mention the conversation with his sister? 5．What do you think of the MBTI personality result?

In ancient China, the school entrance ceremony (入学典礼) was one of the most important ceremonies. Children began school between the ages of 4~7 in ancient China. Since there was no certain time to begin a new term at that time, the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school. Next, parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and the four treasures of the study. In ancient times, teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons. Parents would prepare many gifts, and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children’s teacher. On the day their children entered school, parents would take them to take part in The First Writing Ceremony. Before that, children would kowtow (叩头) to the statue of Confucius (孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect. During the ceremony, the teacher would put a red point on the students’ forehead (前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would ring a certain bell to start a new term. After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very important ceremony for every student. Every day, students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher, and kowtow to the statue of Confucius, and then go back to the seats. Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for future Imperial Examination (科举考试) . Today, some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times. Students put on traditional costumes and bow to the statue of Confucius and their teachers. This means that from this moment, they take a step in the lifelong journey of learning. 1．At what age did children begin school in ancient China? 2．What school things did parents prepare for children to enter school in ancient China ? 3．Why would children kowtow to the statue of Confucius and their teacher before the First Writing Ceremony? 4．What would children do during the First Writing Ceremony? 5．What do you think of the school entrance ceremony?

Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common. Creating an interest in what they learn Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something interesting. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not get bored. Practicing and learning from mistakes Good learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more. Remember, “Use it or lose it!” Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. “Practice makes perfect.” Good learners will keep practicing what they have learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes. Developing their study skills It is not enough to just study hard. Good learners know the best ways they can study. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words. They also look for ways to go over what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student. Asking questions Good learners often ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning. Learning is a lifelong journey because every day brings something new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well. 1．According to the passage, what can make you become a successful learner? 2．What do good learners often do? 3．Why is it important to practice using what you’ve learned? 4．According to the writer, how may good learners take notes? 5．What is the last good learning habit in the passage? 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 Shijingshan district of 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)!” Like Shougang Industrial Park, in recent years, many old factories and mills have been turned into cultural and tourist sites. For example, the World of Tsingtao is a beer museum inside the old factory of the Tsingtao Brewery (啤酒厂), one of China’s largest breweries. The museum has brought people closer to the long history of the brewery. Today, China is home to 194 national-level industrial heritage sites. 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．How did Shougang have a new look according to the passage? 4．Where can people visit the World of Tsingtao? 5．What benefit (益处) can giving new life to old factories and workshops bring?(自拟一句话作答) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Have you ever paid close attention to a cloud and noticed its ever-changing forms? If not, you could be missing out on something quite wonderful. Cloud admiring is an activity without a threshold (门槛) and it doesn’t require much. Sometimes, it can be an invitation to be amazed by something so common that we’ve become blind to it. Or you can go deeper, trying to make sense of the sky by learning the different kinds of clouds. Zheng, 25, a pop science blogger, is known as the “Cloud Collector” on Xiaohongshu. In 2021, Zheng started to take cloud photos. “Clouds have always served as a stress relief for many people like me,” said Zheng from Fujian. “I really feel relaxed in recording the beauty of daily life.” For the purpose of spreading lovely moments to more people, Zheng started to share cloud photos in 2022. By admiring clouds, she added, people can know when to take an umbrella, whether to wear sunglasses or when to put on warm coats. It also offers a chance to break silence with a stranger next to you by asking “How is the weather today?” after you watch the clouds. As a growing number of online users began to show interest and raise questions, Zheng realized that she could offer more science content (内容) about cloud admiring. So she started to learn more about cloud admiring by reading professional books and papers on clouds. Zheng has now shared nearly 200 pieces of popular science content, including cloud recognizing, formation, comparisons of different kinds of clouds and weather-related knowledge. She now has over 210,000 followers on Xiaohongshu, and there are five group chats on the app where thousands of users share their daily cloud-admiring experiences. Looking ahead, Zheng hopes to make cloud admiring more popular. She is now collecting more cloud photos and plans to hold more activities to share the stories behind them. By doing this, she wants to inspire more people to see the beauty of the clouds. 1．What is Zheng known as on Xiaohongshu? 2．When did Zheng start to share cloud photos? 3．How did Zheng learn more about cloud admiring? 4．Why does Zheng hope to make cloud admiring more popular? 5．Are you interested in cloud admiring? Why or why not?

During the 1980s, mobile phones became smaller but were still very expensive. Only rich business people could afford them, and the phones looked like big plastic bricks. The 1990s brought another big change. Phones became cheaper and smaller, fitting easily in pockets. Soon, almost everyone had one. Text messaging became popular. People started writing short messages instead of making phone calls. Meeting time became more flexible (灵活的) because you could just text “I’ll be 15 minutes late.” Now we have smartphones—like powerful mini-computers in our pockets. We use them to take photos, watch videos, play games, and even help with housework! Messaging apps let us send videos and long messages easily. While phones help us stay connected, some people worry that we spend too much time on them. Looking back, it’s amazing how phones have changed. From Bell’s simple telephone to today’s smartphones, this has truly changed our lives. What will phones be able to do next? Only time will tell! 请将答案写在答题卡上。 1．When did Alexander Graham Bell invent the telephone? 2．Why did scientists build tall radio towers in the 1940s? 3．Who made the first real mobile phone call? 4．How can smartphones help us in our lives?

Different from films, the shadow play (皮影戏) needs more attention. In the past years, Chinese artists have been trying to help it survive. Their effort has got encouragement and support from the government. In 2011, the shadow puppet (木偶) play was added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (遗产) list. Most of the puppets were made of leather from animals, like donkeys and sheep. The leather must be carefully chosen, and then people make them smooth. When the leather becomes smooth enough, the artists would paint the characters on it, and then cut them out with different tools. The body parts of the puppets are separately cut out and joined together, so that they could have 24 movable joints (关节). Puppet players hold them with sticks connected to their most important joints during the performance. The experienced players could act five sticks on one puppet with only one hand. Most of them show interest in puppet performances, so they can play several traditional instruments. They are also needed to sing local operas, and have a good sense of music. Xue Hongquan has found ways to protect it from disappearing. He improved the traditional performance and added modern music, light as well as performing skills. Xue’s puppets could not only perform old plays, but could imitate (模仿) modern dances. “The art could be passed on to only by making more people love it and accept it,” said Xue. “So it is our duty to do something for our traditional art.” 1．When was the shadow puppet play added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list? 2．What were most of the puppets made of? 3．What do the artists do after the leather becomes smooth enough? 4．What has Xue Hongquan added into the shadow play to help it survive? 5．As a student, what can we do for our traditional art? 【答案】1．In 2011. 2．Leather from animals./Most of the puppets were made of leather from animals, like donkeys and sheep. 3．They would paint the characters on the leathers and then cut them out with different tools. 4．Modern music, light as well as performing skills./He added modern music, light as well as performing skills. 5．We can pass down and carry forward traditional arts./We can learn, practice and share traditional art to help keep it alive.

Nasheng studied Tibetan medicine at Qinghai University. Her love for this field started in childhood. She was always curious about Chinese medicine. But what truly pushed her was seeing her fellow villagers struggle with healthcare. “They once had to travel far to see doctors inland. Long trips, language barriers, and cultural differences made it even harder,” she said, adding that many elderly villagers only speak Tibetan. This made her decide to learn Tibetan medicine and return to help her hometown. She joined Yangla’s town health center in September 2021. Although her hometown Yunling is in the same county, getting to Yangla takes a tiring 7~8 hour drive—crossing Baima Snow Mountain and following a winding path along the Jinsha River. She lives in a simple room inside the hospital ward, and the town only has one barbecue restaurant for entertainment. But she never thinks of giving up. Yangla’s villages spread across over 1,000 square kilometers, so the health center holds monthly mobile free clinics. On Nasheng’s first clinic trip, she and her team drove 5 hours, then met a mudslide. They had to carry all medical supplies over the mountain on foot. After treating an elderly patient who worried about getting follow-up care, she suggested building a small health station. With local government support, one opened in June 2022, making it easier for villagers to see doctors. In 2023, she also helped set up a herbal bath room to ease villagers’ rheumatism and joint pain. Nasheng keeps improving her skills. In 2024, she trained in Tibet to learn therapies like bloodletting and Tibetan stick therapy. Villagers love her: an 80-year-old gave her rare fruit (picked from a lower-altitude town), and last Spring Festival, they invited her team to a warm Tibetan party. Looking ahead, Nasheng wants to study for a master’s degree to learn more acupuncture. “But no matter where I go,” she said, “I’ll always come back—this is my home.” 请将答案写在答题卡上。 1．Where is Yangla town? 2．What problems did villagers in Yangla town have getting health care? 3．When did Nasheng join Yangla town’s health center? 4．Why did Nasheng set up a herbal bath room in 2023? 5．After reading the passage, what touches you most?

By the time you are fully grown, your body will be up to 20,000 times larger. That’s a lot of growing! The secret to the growth lies in your cells. In all animals—humans included—growth happens when cells get bigger, break apart to create new cells, and connect together. Even when you stop getting taller, this cellular activity never truly ends. Your body continues to renew itself throughout your life as worn-out cells are replaced by new ones. Your skin, muscles, blood, bones—even your brain—are constantly renewing themselves. In fact, every 7 to 10 years, nearly all the cells in your body are replaced, meaning you’re not the same person you were a few years ago! Different parts of your body grow at different speeds. By age 10, your head is already close to its adult size, while the rest of your body may need another 10 years to catch up. Inside your body, organs like your heart, lungs, and liver each follow their own growth timetable. Your height comes mainly from how your bones develop, especially your spine (脊柱) and the long bones in your arms and legs. Growth doesn’t happen at a steady (稳定的) pace. It speeds up quickly during two main times of fast growth: the first when you are a baby, and the second when you are a teenager. During your first year of life, you grew about 25 centimeters! After that period, growth slowed to about 3—8 centimeters each year. But during your teenage years, you might suddenly grow 10 centimeters or more in a single year. Your adult height is mostly set by the genes you get from your parents. To reach this natural height, your body needs good building materials: healthy food, enough sleep, exercise, and sunshine for strong bones. 请将答案写在答题卡上。 1．Where does the secret to the growth lie? 2．How often are nearly all the cells in your body renewed? 3．Where does your height mainly come from? 4．When are the main times of fast growth? 5．What do you think your body needs to reach natural height? 【答案】1．The secret to the growth lies in cells./In cells./In our cells. 2．Every 7 to 10 years. 3．Our height comes mainly from how bones develop, especially your spine and the long bones in your arms and legs. 4．The first when you are a baby, and the second when you are a teenager./When you are a baby and when you are a teenager./The period of being a baby and the period of being a teenager. 5．Healthy food, enough sleep, exercise, and sunshine. (以上四项答出一项即得分，或自拟。) 【导语】本文主要介绍了人体生长的秘密。 1．根据“The secret to the growth lies in your cells.”可知，生长的秘密在于细胞。故填The secret to the growth lies in cells./In cells./In our cells. 2．根据“In fact, every 7 to 10 years, nearly all the cells in your body are replaced, meaning you’re not the same person you were a few years ago!”可知，人体几乎所有细胞每7到10年更新一次。故填Every 7 to 10 years. 3．根据“Your height comes mainly from how your bones develop, especially your spine (脊柱) and the long bones in your arms and legs.”可知，身高主要源于骨骼的发育，尤其是脊柱和四肢的长骨。故填Our height comes mainly from how bones develop, especially your spine and the long bones in your arms and legs. 4．根据“It speeds up quickly during two main times of fast growth: the first when you are a baby, and the second when you are a teenager.”可知，快速生长的主要时期是婴儿期和青少年期。故填The first when you are a baby, and the second when you are a teenager./When you are a baby and when you are a teenager./The period of being a baby and the period of being a teenager. 5．根据“To reach this natural height, your body needs good building materials: healthy food, enough sleep, exercise, and sunshine for strong bones.”可知，要达到自然身高，身体需要健康的食物、充足的睡眠、锻炼和阳光。故填Healthy food, enough sleep, exercise, and sunshine. Is there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets? For years, scientists said “no” or “We don’t know”. But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers. They believe intelligent life is somewhere in the universe (宇宙). They also think we will soon  communicate with them. Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life is on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” said Shostak and Barnett. The other one is size—the universe is huge.” Tools like the Hubble telescope (哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies (星系),” says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth.” In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life. Has intelligent life from space already visited Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak. “It’s a long way away. However, intelligent life may contact us in other ways, such as sending radio signals (信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don’t have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.” 1．What made Seth and Alexandra believe that there is intelligent life on other planets? 2．Which galaxy is the Earth in? 3．Why is it possible to discover smaller planets in the universe now? 4．How may intelligent life contact us? 5．What do you think of intelligent life on other planets? (请自拟一句话作答) 【答案】1．Time and size (of the universe). 2．In the Milky Way. 3．Because powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets. 4．By sending radio signals. 5．I think intelligent life on other planets may be friendly. (答案合理即可) 【导语】本文主要探讨了其他星球是否存在智能生命这一问题，分析了天文学家Seth Shostak和Alexandra Barnett认为存在的原因，以及智能生命可能的联系方式等。 1．根据“The first reason is time...The other one is size—the universe is huge.”可知，是时间和宇宙的大小让他们相信其他星球上有智能生命。故填Time and size (of the universe). 2．根据“And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars.”可知，地球在银河系。故填In the Milky Way. 3．根据“But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth in other solar systems.”可知，是因为强大的望远镜让科学家能够发现更小的行星。故填Because powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets. 4．根据“However, intelligent life may contact us in other ways, such as sending radio signals.”可知，智能生命可能通过发送无线电信号联系我们。故填By sending radio signals. 5．本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，合理即可。故填I think intelligent life on other planets may be friendly. 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Han Hong, a 48-year-old Chinese singer, had planned to hold the first concert of her 2020 national tour in Wuhan, Hubei province, on Feb 29.

One of the plane’s seats was replaced with an extra gas tank, which allowed Mack to cover longer distances. The plane also had satellite communications that let Mack stay in touch with people on the ground. Mack’s route took him over Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. He visited 30 countries in all and covered 33,630 miles. Though Mack expected his trip to take two to three months, he had to change his ideas. In some places, he had to wait long for getting permission (批准) to fly. Other problems required major changes to his flight plan. Mack also faced lots of other challenges, many of them related to extreme weather. In Sudan, Mack had to deal with sandstorms. He had to fly through heavy rain in India, and ended up with water in his gas tanks. He said crossing the Pacific Ocean was the most difficult part of the trip. After a 10-hour flight from Japan, he had to land-just as it was getting dark-on an island with no one else on it. He spent the night in the open air. In spite of all the difficult times, Mack described the trip as “amazing”. Now Mack has set the record for the youngest person to fly around the world alone, beating 18-year-old English pilot, Travis Ludlow, who set the record last year. Mack says he hopes his trip will show young people they can make a difference. “You don’t need to be 18 to do something special. Just follow your dreams and they will eventually come true,” he said. 1．How long did it take Mack to fly around the world? 2．How did Mack keep in touch with people on the ground? 3．Which part of the trip was the most difficult for Mack? 4．How many continents (大洲) did Mack travel across? 5．Do you think Mack is a role model (榜样) for young people? Why or why not? (请自拟一句话作答) 【答案】1．Five months. 2．Through satellite communications. 3．Crossing the Pacific Ocean. 4．Four. 5．Yes. Because he shows that young people can achieve big dreams through courage and persistence. 【导语】本文主要讲述了17岁的Mack Rutherford成为独自环球飞行最年轻者的故事。 1．根据“completing a five-month effort to fly around the world.”可知，Mack环游世界花了5个月的时间。故填Five months. 2．根据“The plane also had satellite communications that let Mack stay in touch with people on the ground.”可知，这架飞机还配备了卫星通信系统，使Mack能够与地面人员保持联系。故填Through satellite communications. 3．根据“He said crossing the Pacific Ocean was the most difficult part of the trip.”可知，横渡太平洋是这次旅行中最困难的部分。故填Crossing the Pacific Ocean. 4．根据“Mack’s route took him over Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America.”可知，Mack穿越了4个大洲。故填Four. 5．开放性试题，答案不唯一，合理即可，参考答案为Yes. Because he shows that young people can achieve big dreams through courage and persistence. Are you an “I person” or an “E person”? These two personality labels (个性标签) are widely discussed online. They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI. All of the results have four letters, and there are 16 results in total. “I” stands for “introverted (内向的)” and “E” refers to “extroverted”. Even if someone is typically quiet, many online discussions suggest that an “I” person can still act outgoing at times. For example, when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends, they might become more social like an “E person”. According to experts, this is called “masking”. That is hiding your true personality in some situations. Because human beings want to get the sense of belonging by pleasing others. Using the MBTI result to identify (识别) and describe someone’s personality seems fun. However, I went too far at one time. My sister was excitedly making a day-to-day travel plan when I remembered from an article that “P people” don’t like to make or stick to plans, so I said to her, “You don’t seem like a ‘P person’”. “Why?” she asked back. “Since when do I need to follow what my personality test tells me to do?” It was then I realized I’d taken the result too seriously. The MBTI personality test may show something you don’t know about yourself and can even be a fun ice-breaker question when meeting new friends. And that’s all it is—for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person. And those four letters of yours don’t define (定义) who you are. 1．What is MBTI? 2．How many personality label results were mentioned in total? 3．How does the writer identify and describe someone’s personality? 4．Why does the writer mention the conversation with his sister? 5．What do you think of the MBTI personality result? (自拟一句话) 【答案】1．It is a popular personality test. 2．Sixteen/16. 3．By using the MBTI result. 4．Because he wants to tell us that he took the result too seriously. 5．It’s just for fun and doesn’t define who you are. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了MBTI性格测试及其标签的流行现象，同时提醒人们不要过度依赖测试结果。 1．根据文章第1段“They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI.”可知，MBTI是一种性格测试。故填It is a popular personality test. 2．根据文章第1段“All of the results have four letters, and there are 16 results in total.”可知，MBTI共有16种性格标签结果。故填Sixteen/16. 3．根据文章第3段“Using the MBTI result to identify and describe someone’s personality seems fun.”可知，作者通过MBTI结果来识别和描述性格。故填By using the MBTI result. 4．根据文章第3段“It was then I realized I’d taken the result too seriously.”可知，作者通过举例说明他对MBTI结果太认真了。故填Because he wants to tell us that he took the result too seriously. 5．本题答案不唯一，言之有理即可。参考文章最后一段“And that’s all it is—for fun…those four letters of yours don’t define who you are.”可知，MBTI结果仅供娱乐，不能定义你是谁。故填It’s just for fun and doesn’t define who you are. 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 September is a big month for students in China since the new term begins from now on. In ancient China, the school entrance ceremony (入学典礼) was one of the most important ceremonies. Children began school between the ages of 4~7 in ancient China. Since there was no certain time to begin a new term at that time, the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school. Next, parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and the four treasures of the study. In ancient times, teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons. Parents would prepare many gifts, and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children’s teacher. On the day their children entered school, parents would take them to take part in The First Writing Ceremony. Before that, children would kowtow (叩头) to the statue of Confucius (孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect. During the ceremony, the teacher would put a red point on the students’ forehead (前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would ring a certain bell to start a new term. After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very important ceremony for every student. Every day, students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher, and kowtow to the statue of Confucius, and then go back to the seats. Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for future Imperial Examination (科举考试) . Today, some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times. Students put on traditional costumes and bow to the statue of Confucius and their teachers. This means that from this moment, they take a step in the lifelong journey of learning. 1．At what age did children begin school in ancient China? 2．What school things did parents prepare for children to enter school in ancient China ? 3．Why would children kowtow to the statue of Confucius and their teacher before the First Writing Ceremony? 4．What would children do during the First Writing Ceremony? 5．What do you think of the school entrance ceremony? (请自拟一句话作答) 【答案】1．From 4 to 7 years old. 2．Desks, chairs and the four treasures of the study. 3．To show their deep respect. 4．They would ring a certain bell to start a new term. 5．It is meaningful./It is important./It is necessary. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国古代的入学相关情况，包括孩子入学年龄、家长准备的学习用品、开笔礼等内容。 1．根据“Children began school between the ages of 4~7 in ancient China.”可知，中国古代孩子入学的年龄是4到7岁之间。故填From 4 to 7 years old. 2．根据“Next, parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and the four treasures of the study.”可知，中国古代家长为孩子入学准备的学习用品有书桌、椅子和文房四宝。故填Desks, chairs and the four treasures of the study. 3．根据“Before that, children would kowtow (叩头) to the statue of Confucius (孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect.”可知，孩子们在开笔礼前向孔子像和老师叩头是为了表达深深的敬意。故填To show their deep respect. 4．根据“Children would ring a certain bell to start a new term.”可知，孩子们在开笔礼期间会敲响一口特定的钟来开启新学期。故填They would ring a certain bell to start a new term. 5．开放性作答，答案不唯一，合理即可。故填It is meaningful./It is important./It is necessary. 阅读与回答问题。 Everyone is born with the ability to learn.

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 Shijingshan district of 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)!” Like Shougang Industrial Park, in recent years, many old factories and mills have been turned into cultural and tourist sites. For example, the World of Tsingtao is a beer museum inside the old factory of the Tsingtao Brewery (啤酒厂), one of China’s largest breweries. The museum has brought people closer to the long history of the brewery. Today, China is home to 194 national-level industrial heritage sites. 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．How did Shougang have a new look according to the passage? 4．Where can people visit the World of Tsingtao? 5．What benefit (益处) can giving new life to old factories and workshops bring?(自拟一句话作答) 【答案】1．It used to be a steel mill that was built in 1919. 2．To protect the environment. 3．With the government’s support. 4．Inside the old factory of the Tsingtao Brewery. 5．It can show people the history of Chinese manufacturing. 【导语】本文主要讲述了许多老工厂在政府的支持下已经变成了文化和旅游景点。 1．根据“However, it used to be a steel mill that was built in 1919.”可知，它曾经是一座建于1919年的钢铁厂。故填It used to be a steel mill that was built in 1919. 2．根据“To protect the environment, however, the mill slowly reduced its production from 2005 until it closed in 2010.”可知，首钢在2010年关闭是为了保护环境。故填To protect the environment. 3．根据“With the government’s support, the old mill has been reborn.”可知，是在政府的支持下获得了新面貌。故填With the government’s support. 4．根据“For example, the World of Tsingtao is a beer museum inside the old factory of the Tsingtao Brewery, one of China’s largest breweries.”可知，人们可以在青岛啤酒厂的旧工厂内参观青岛世界。故填Inside the old factory of the Tsingtao Brewery. 5．开放性习题，言之有理即可。根据“Old factories and workshops across the country are like a book on the history of Chinese manufacturing .”可知，让老工厂、老作坊重获新生，可以帮助人们了解中国制造业的历史。故填It can show people the history of Chinese manufacturing. 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Have you ever paid close attention to a cloud and noticed its ever-changing forms? If not, you could be missing out on something quite wonderful. Cloud admiring is an activity without a threshold (门槛) and it doesn’t require much. Sometimes, it can be an invitation to be amazed by something so common that we’ve become blind to it. Or you can go deeper, trying to make sense of the sky by learning the different kinds of clouds. Zheng, 25, a pop science blogger, is known as the “Cloud Collector” on Xiaohongshu. In 2021, Zheng started to take cloud photos. “Clouds have always served as a stress relief for many people like me,” said Zheng from Fujian. “I really feel relaxed in recording the beauty of daily life.” For the purpose of spreading lovely moments to more people, Zheng started to share cloud photos in 2022. By admiring clouds, she added, people can know when to take an umbrella, whether to wear sunglasses or when to put on warm coats. It also offers a chance to break silence with a stranger next to you by asking “How is the weather today?” after you watch the clouds. As a growing number of online users began to show interest and raise questions, Zheng realized that she could offer more science content (内容) about cloud admiring. So she started to learn more about cloud admiring by reading professional books and papers on clouds. Zheng has now shared nearly 200 pieces of popular science content, including cloud recognizing, formation, comparisons of different kinds of clouds and weather-related knowledge. She now has over 210,000 followers on Xiaohongshu, and there are five group chats on the app where thousands of users share their daily cloud-admiring experiences. Looking ahead, Zheng hopes to make cloud admiring more popular. She is now collecting more cloud photos and plans to hold more activities to share the stories behind them.
