But today, there is a new kind of pilot becoming more and more important—the drone (无人机) pilot. A drone, or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), is an aircraft without a human pilot on board. It is controlled by a pilot on the ground using a remote control. Drone pilots do many different kinds of jobs. For example, they can use drones to take amazing photos and videos from the sky for movies or news reports. Farmers hire them to check on crops and see which parts of the field need more water. In some cities, police use drones to help find lost people or watch traffic. Drones can also deliver packages quickly, which is much faster than a deliveryman on a bike. To become a professional drone pilot, you need to learn some important skills. First, you must be good at controlling the drone smoothly and safely. This requires a lot of practice. Second, you need to understand the rules for flying drones, like where you are allowed to fly and how high you can go. Finally, for special jobs like farming or making maps, you might need to learn how to use different cameras and sensors on the drone. This job is exciting because you can work outdoors and use cool technology. However, it also has challenges. Sometimes you have to work in bad weather, and you need to be very careful to avoid accidents. If you love technology and have a good sense of responsibility, this could be the perfect future job for you. 1．What is a drone? A．An aircraft without a pilot on board. B．A new type of video camera. C．A kind of robot on the ground. D．A special remote control. 2．How does the drone help the police? A．Taking photos for movies. B．Helping find lost people or watching traffic. C．Helping farmers check crops. D．Delivering packages. 3．What does a drone pilot need to do to become a professional? A．Learn to fly a real plane first. B．Get a university degree in farming. C．Understand the rules for flying drones. D．Work for the police. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Drones are more useful than airplanes. B．A drone pilot is an interesting and challenging new career. C．Everyone should learn how to fly a drone. D．Flying a drone is very easy and does not require any skills. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了无人机飞手这一新兴职业，内容涵盖无人机的定义、无人机飞手的工作内容、成为专业无人机飞手的要求以及这份职业的特点。 1．第一段的“A drone, or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), is an aircraft without a human pilot on board.”说明了无人机的定义，它是一种没有飞行员在机上的飞行器。 2．第二段的倒数第二句“In some cities, police use drones to help find lost people or watch traffic.”提到了无人机对于警察的帮助，无人机帮助警察寻找失踪人员或监控交通。 3．第三段的“Second, you need to understand the rules for flying drones,”提到了成为专业无人机飞手的要求，他们需要了解无人机的飞行规则。 4．通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了无人机飞行员这一新兴职业，包括工作内容、所需技 能及其有趣和具有挑战性的特点。 Growing up is a wonderful journey, but it’s not always smooth. Many teenagers feel upset because of study pressure, arguments with friends or family, and other small problems. These upsets are normal, but knowing how to deal with them is important for our growth. First, when you feel upset, don’t hide your feelings. Talk to someone you trust, like your parents or best friend. They will listen to you carefully and give you helpful advice. For example, if you have an argument with your friend, explain your feelings calmly and try to understand their side. This can help you solve the problem quickly. Second, do something that makes you happy. You can listen to your favorite music, go for a walk in the park, or read a good book. These activities can help you relax and forget your worries. It’s also a good idea to do some exercise, such as running or playing ball games, because it can make you feel energetic and improve your mood. Third, learn to accept your mistakes and failures. No one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. When you fail an exam or do something wrong, don’t blame yourself too much. Instead, think about what you can learn from it and try to do better next time. Dealing with upsets is an important part of growing up. By following these tips, you can turn your upsets into opportunities to become stronger and more confident. 1．Who can you talk to when you feel upset? A．Your parents. B．Strangers. C．Enemies. D．Your classmates. 2．What can you do to relax when you feel upset? A．Hide your feelings. B．Listen to music. C．Blame yourself. D．Argue with friends. 3．What does the underlined word “smooth” mean in Chinese? A．困难的 B．顺利的 C．漫长的 D．短暂的 4．We can infer from the passage that ________. A．upsets are bad for teenagers’ growth B．we should hide our upsets from others C．exercise can help improve our mood D．we don’t need to learn from our mistakes 5．What’s the best title of the passage? A．How to Make Friends B．How to Deal with Upsets When Growing Up C．How to Study Well D．How to Talk to Parents 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文的核心内容是指导青少年如何处理成长里的负面情绪。 1．文中第二段提到“Talk to someone you trust, like your parents or best friend.” ，即可以和信任的人如父母或最好的朋友交谈，A选项“Your parents.”符合文意。 2．文中第三段提到“You can listen to your favorite music, go for a walk in the park, or read a good book. These activities can help you relax and forget your worries.” ，听喜欢的音乐是可以放松的方式之一。 3．根据第一段的“Growing up is a wonderful journey, but it's not always smooth. Many teenagers feel upset because of study pressure, arguments with friends or family, and other small problems.” 可知成长中有很多烦心事，所以不是总是顺利的，“smooth”意思是“顺利的”。 4．文中第一段说“These upsets are normal, but knowing how to deal with them is important for our growth.” ，烦心事对成长并非全是坏事，C选项，文中提到“It's also a good idea to do some exercise, such as running or playing ball games, because it can make you feel energetic and improve your mood.” ，说明锻炼能改善情绪，C正确。 5．文章围绕青少年成长中遇到烦心事以及如何处理这些烦心事展开，标题应为“How to Deal with Upsets When Growing Up”。 There are many problems that young people have to face when we stop being children. At this age all feelings and emotions are very strong. All problems seem very important. The first terrible thing is misunderstanding from the dearest people—parents. They do not understand why we need to buy things we want to buy, listen to this type of music or spend most of our spare time with our friends. We do not want to hurt their feelings but they should try to understand us. The same misunderstanding we face sometimes comes from the side of the teachers. They think that youth is given for studying. But a person who only studies is dull (无趣的). Some teachers do not understand that youth is the time for us to learn about people and about ourselves, to play and to try things. They try to keep us away from all dangers in our lives. But teenagers need adults to take them seriously and give them a friendly hand, not a punishment. ▲ I think, young people need to have pocket money for buying books, pens, ice-cream and so on. But I do not think it is a good idea to ask parents to give me some money. If I find a part-time job, they will say it distracts (使分心) me from studies. If I ask for money, they say they spend too much on my school, clothes and other things. Sometimes the problem of fashion appears. My parents try to buy me clothes to their taste. Sometimes that’s all right, but sometimes I want something more fashionable, especially for summer. Then we can argue (争吵) for hours. It is interesting that in the question of clothes, my mother is on my side, but in the question of books and music, my father supports me. Being young is not easy, but it is an important time to learn and grow. Problems like these may feel big now, but they also help us understand ourselves better. If we can talk with adults honestly, find good friends who support us, and be true to who we are, we will get through these years smoothly. Remember, all these experiences—the good and the hard—are preparing us for the future ahead. 1．Which of the following sentences can be put in ▲ ? A．The problem of money is important as well. B．A part-time job is another common problem. C．It’s hard for us to ask parents for some money. D．Saving money is a necessary skill for the future. 2．Which sentence would the writer keep in his diary? A．I am too busy to take part-time jobs. B．I like my parents to buy clothes for me. C．I want to make more choices by myself. D．I hope my teachers help me with my study. 3．How is the passage organized? A．Time order. B．Space order. C．From specific to general. D．From general to specific. 4．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To show youth is even better than adulthood. B．To encourage teenagers to take on challenges. C．To advise teenagers to face problems bravely. D．To guide teenagers to deal with their daily needs. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文讲述青少年成长中面临的误解、金钱、时尚等问题，并给出应对建议。 1．第四段引出话题：“young people need to have pocket money...”，整段围绕金钱问题展开，说明金钱也是重要问题。 2．文中多处表达：“they should try to understand us” “I want something more fashionable”，体现作者希望自己做选择。 3．首段总述青少年面临很多问题，中间分段具体介绍，结尾总结，是从总到分的结构。 4．尾段建议：“If we can talk with adults honestly...we will get through these years smoothly”，鼓励青少年勇敢面对成长问题。 1. Australia has become the first country to stop all children under 16 from having social media accounts (账户). The new law started on December 10, 2025. It hopes to keep young people safe from online dangers, such as habits that are hard to break, online bullying, and dangerous people. 2. Big apps like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Snapchat must now check how old their users are. If they find someone under 16, they will close that account. Companies that do not follow the rule could be fined up to 49.5 million Australian dollars. Most apps have agreed to follow the new law, but some, like X (old name: Twitter), say it limits free speech. 3. To check a user’s age, apps may ask for a short video selfie or an ID card. If an account is closed because the user is under 16, it can usually be opened again after the user turns 16. 4. Not every app has to follow this rule. Apps like WhatsApp, YouTube Kids, and Roblox are still okay for teenagers to use. But the government says it may add more apps to the list if they become very popular with young people. 5. Many parents are happy about the new rule. They think it will protect children and encourage them to play outside or do other healthy activities. However, some people who work with teenagers are worried. They say teenagers might try other apps that are less safe, or find ways to break the rules. This could put them in more danger. Some experts say it is like a “whack-a-mole” (打地鼠) game—when you stop one app, young people just move to another one. 6. Many countries are watching Australia to see what happens. Researchers from Stanford University will study if teenagers sleep better, play more sports, or face new problems online because of this law. 7. The central question remains: Can a ban truly make the internet safer for the young? 1．What is the main purpose of the new law? A．To help social media companies make more money. B．To stop all people from using social media. C．To protect young people from online dangers. D．To encourage teenagers to use more apps. 2．Which word has the same meaning as the underlined word “fined” in Paragraph 2? A．The weather is fine today. B．She has a fine taste in fashion. C．She has a fine figure. D．He was fined for speeding. 3．What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A．It describes why teenagers should not use social media. B．It lists all the apps that require age . C．It shows that age verification methods are not effective. D．It explains how social media apps check a user's age and what happens if an account is closed because of being under 16. 4．Why are some people who work with teenagers worried about the new law? A．Because it costs too much money. B．Because teenagers might use less safe apps instead. C．Because it encourages teenagers to play outside too much. D．Because it is too strict for parents. 5．How does the writer show that not everyone agrees with the new law? A．By giving examples of people who like it and people who don't. B．By only quoting social media companies. C．By telling teenagers to break the rules. D．By saying all parents are worried. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了澳大利亚出台禁止16岁以下儿童使用社交媒体的新法律，介绍了法律内容、实施方式、不同人群的看法以及其他国家的关注和相关研究。 1．第一段指出法律目的：“It hopes to keep young people safe from online dangers”，说明新法律旨在保护年轻人免受网络危害。 2．第二段解释词义：“fined”表示“罚款”，“He was fined for speeding”与之含义相同。 3．第三段说明内容：介绍了应用程序核查用户年龄的方式，以及16岁以下用户账号被封后的处理情况。 4．第五段说明担忧原因：“They say teenagers might try other apps that are less safe”，指出相关人士担心青少年会转而使用更不安全的应用程序。 5．第五段说明写法：通过列举支持该法律的家长和担忧该法律的相关人士，体现并非所有人都认同这项新法律。 ①Cooperation has received attention in many schools, possibly because a good teamwork spirit is of great importance to successful groups. It is believed that doing team sports is the best way to teach cooperation. In the team environment, members need to communicate with each other, which can prepare students for both schoolwork and future jobs. It can also encourage students to follow team rules. Students are more likely to help each other as well. Teamwork spirit is not born but built. Here are some things you can do to improve teamwork spirit. ②Communicate well with each other. When you’re meeting together, let everyone speak and listen to each other carefully. Ask questions to get everyone to talk so that everyone can communicate well with each other. ③Work together on projects. Let everyone help make decisions about the project. Decide on the team goal and divide the project into steps. Celebrate every win as a win for the whole team. ④Build trust and respect. It’s okay to do something wrong, but bravely say sorry to make the situation better. This helps build trust in your team. Respect others’ work and encourage everyone to do better. ⑤Much of the work in today’s world is completed in teams. For students, team sports, singing in a chorus (合唱队), and joining in unpaid community service are ways to learn about cooperation. 1．It’s helpful to improve team spirit by ________. A．letting everyone speak and listen to each other carelessly B．dividing the project into steps C．making decisions about the project alone D．listening to others’ opinions all the time 2．What does the underlined word “unpaid”mean? A．Interesting. B．Boring. C．Meaningful. D．Free. 3．Which of the following is the structure of the text? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①/②③④⑤ C．①②/③④/⑤ D．①②③④/⑤ 4．Whom is this text mainly written for? A．Students.

D．Workers. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了团队合作精神的重要性，并给出了培养团队精神的具体方法，如良好沟通、合作完成任务、建立信任与尊重等，最后指出学生可以通过团队运动、合唱、社区服务等方式学习合作。 1．原文第三段“divide the project into steps”，表明“把项目分成多个步骤”和原文一致，正确。 2．un-是否定前缀，paid意为“付费的”，所以unpaid意思是“不付费的、无偿的”，和选项中free“免费的”含义一致。 3．第①段引入话题，总述团队精神的重要性，引出提升方法；第②③④段分别介绍三种提升团队精神的具体方法，属于分述；第⑤段总结全文，强调团队合作的意义，结构为①/②③④/⑤。 4．文中多次提到students，第一段提到团队合作能为学生的学业和未来工作做准备，最后一段明确针对学生举例说明，因此文章主要写给学生。 ①Do you ever feel stuck when a classmate says “hi” in the hallway? Do you worry you’ll have nothing to say at a party? You’re not alone—many people feel unsure when talking to people they don’t know well. But the good news is that you can learn to feel more confident and make every chat a little brighter. Here are four simple habits to help you become a smoother, more friendly conversationalist. ②Be a curious listener. Instead of just waiting for your turn to speak, focus on what the other person is saying. Ask open-ended (开放式的) questions to keep the conversation moving. For example, if a friend mentions they joined a painting club, you could say, “That sounds cool! What kind of things do you like to paint?” This shows you’re interested and gives them a chance to share more. ③Stick to light, shared topics. The best small talk topics are things almost everyone can relate to, like a popular TV show, the school sports game, or even the rainy weather. Stay away from sensitive (敏感的) subjects like grades, family problems, or why someone is not in a group chat. If a topic starts to feel tense, just change to something easier: “Have you tried the new bubble tea shop near our school?” This kind of tactful change keeps the mood positive and avoids embarrassing moments. ④Be real, not perfect. If someone asks you about a book you haven’t read, don’t lie and say you have. Just laugh and say, “I haven’t gotten to that one yet—what did you think of it?” People value honesty, and it can even lead to a better conversation. A quick, kind comment like “I love your new sports shoes!” can also make someone’s day and break the ice. ⑤Let your body say “I’m here.” The way you stand and face others sends messages even before you speak. Stand tall, make soft eye contact, and smile—this tells people you’re open and friendly. Don’t bend (弯曲) your back or check your phone while someone is talking; that makes it seem like you’d rather be somewhere else. ⑥With a little practice, you’ll find that talking to new people doesn’t have to be scary. The most important thing is to show you care about the other person, and the rest will follow. 1．How does the author support the idea of “be a curious listener”? A．By giving an example of a follow-up question. B．By explaining how listening helps make friends. C．By comparing curious listeners to quiet listeners. D．By sharing a survey about what people like to talk about. 2．What does the word “tactful” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．rude and sudden B．slow and quiet C．smart and polite D．funny and interesting 3．What should you do when someone asks you about a book you haven’t read? A．Lie and say you have read it. B．Laugh and ask them about the book. C．Change the topic to a bubble tea shop. D．Check your phone and walk away. 4．Which of the following best describes the structure of the passage? A．①Problem → ②③④⑤Solutions → ⑥Conclusion B．①Introduction → ②Examples → ③④⑤Advice → ⑥Ending C．①Question → ②③Reason → ④⑤Result → ⑥Summary D．①Phenomenon → ②③④Comparison → ⑤⑥Suggestion 5．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To explain why some people are shy. B．To describe different types of conversations. C．To encourage readers to talk more with friends. D．To teach readers how to improve their conversation skills. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要针对“与不太熟悉的人交谈时感到不自信、无话可说”这一普遍问题，介绍了四个简单的习惯，帮助读者提升交谈技巧，变得更自信、更善于沟通。 1．第二段：“Ask open-ended questions to keep the conversation moving. For example, if a friend mentions they joined a painting club, you could say, ‘That sounds cool! What kind of things do you like to paint?’”，作者通过给出一个追问的具体例子来支持这一观点。 2．第三段：“If a topic starts to feel tense, just change to something easier… This kind of tactful change keeps the mood positive and avoids embarrassing moments.”，当话题变得紧张时，巧妙地转换到轻松话题，能保持积极氛围、避免尴尬。因此“tactful”意为“巧妙且得体的”，对应“smart and polite”。 3．第四段：“If someone asks you about a book you haven’t read, don’t lie and say you have. Just laugh and say, ‘I haven’t gotten to that one yet—what did you think of it?’”，作者建议笑着回应并询问对方对书的看法，而不是撒谎或回避。 4．第①段：提出问题 (社交时感到不自信) 并引出四种习惯；第②至⑤段：分别介绍四种具体建议 (好奇倾听、轻松话题、真实真诚、肢体语言)；第⑥段：总结与鼓励。文章结构为：①提出问题→②③④⑤给出解决方案→⑥得出结论。 5．全文围绕四种习惯展开，旨在教读者如何提升交谈技巧，在社交中更自信流畅。 We all enjoy being part of a group—there’s no better work than teamwork, right? Actually, I disagree. Teamwork can be hard. In fact, it was so difficult that I left my office job and started working from home on my own. It’s a much better fit for me, and it has made me think about why teamwork can make our jobs harder rather than easier. Personalities can make teamwork difficult. There’s often someone on the team that puts his need first. The team often goes along with this person, whose ideas might not be the best, just the loudest. Just one difficult personality can make teamwork hard. Combine (结合) several challenging personality types, and it’s even harder. Not having enough time together can also make teamwork challenging. For example, I was once on a team where we never had enough time to meet as a group. To successfully work as a team, you need time together—and lots of it. A final reason why teamwork is difficult is that there’s often no training on how to work on a team. You can’t just put people in a room and expect them to work well with each other. You need to build trust with your team members. Think of football players: They aren’t just given a ball and told to play.They practise, and they train. Teamwork can be hard, but working alone has its challenges too. When my computer doesn’t work, I don’t have an IT person to turn to. When I have a great idea, I don’t have anyone to share it with to see if it really is a great idea. Don’t get me wrong—I still like my team of one and enjoy making all of the important decisions myself. But now I realize what was wrong with the teamwork I did in the past and how good teamwork could be if done correctly. And that’s useful information—because one day I might want to turn my ME TEAM into a WE TEAM. 1．Why did the writer choose to work from home on his own? A．To keep himself busier. B．To keep himself healthier. C．To make his job easier. D．To make his team healthier. 2．Which of the following makes teamwork difficult? A．Strong personality. B．Lots of teamwork time. C．Challenging ideas. D．Clear team roles. 3．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．WE TEAM has hardly any advantages. B．ME TEAM needs a lot of IT engineers. C．ME TEAM has no challenges for the writer. D．WE TEAM may be the writer’s choice one day. 4．What is the purpose of the text? A．To show the advantages of teamwork. B．To tell the importance of teamwork. C．To introduce the influence of teamwork. D．To explain the difficulties of teamwork. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，作者通过自身经历，阐述了团队合作存在的诸多困难，并对比了独自工作的利弊，同时表达了对理想团队合作的期待。 1．由“Teamwork can be hard. In fact, it was so difficult that I left my office job and started working from home on my own. It’s a much better fit for me, and it has made me think about why teamwork can make our jobs harder rather than easier.”可知，作者认为团队合作让工作更难，所以选择独自在家工作，让自己的工作更轻松。 2．由“Personalities can make teamwork difficult…Combine several challenging personality types, and it’s even harder.”可知，强势的性格会让团队合作变得困难。 3．由“And that’s useful information—because one day I might want to turn my ME TEAM into a WE TEAM.”可知，作者未来可能会选择“WE TEAM”。 4．文章开篇点明作者不认同团队合作，并通过多个段落分析了团队合作困难的原因 (性格问题、时间不足、缺乏团队协作培训)，最后对比了独自工作的挑战。因此，文章的目的是解释团队合作的困难之处。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期中复习之阅读理解10篇 （Units1-3单元话题） 单元 单元话题 Unit 1 Career talks 生涯规划，工作与职业 Unit 2 Growing pains and gains 成长的烦恼与收获 Unit 3 What makes a great team? 团队合作 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下每单元依次对应3-4篇单元话题专题训练 We Want You!

(A reporter is interviewing Constance Hoffman about her job and how she got into costume (戏服) design.) Reporter: When did you first become interested in costume design? Constance: When I was in high school, I dreamed of becoming an actress, so I took theater classes. During college, I took part in a small student show. I was asked to design the costumes. And I found that I really enjoyed the process. Reporter: Did you take design classes after that? Constance: Yes, I took design classes in college. In my final year, I tried to get into a school for further study at New York University. There I studied design. Reporter: Are costume designers all good at drawing? Constance: Well, drawing is important, but it’s mainly a tool. The key is to draw out your ideas clearly. Reporter: How do you come up with the ideas for costumes? Constance: I have to do a lot of research on the play. Who wrote it? Who were the characters? What was going on in the world at the time? By answering these questions, I can better understand the play. I also need to work with the director and the rest of the team. Reporter: What do you love most about your job? Constance: I always get to meet new people and start new stories. These two things keep me learning! 1．What made Constance find that she got interested in costume design? A．Making food with family. B．Designing costumes for a student show. C．Singing songs with friends. 2．How does Constance think of drawing? A．It is a tool for costume designers. B．It is the most important skill for costume designers. C．Costume designers don’t need to learn how to draw. 3．If Constance designs costumes, which question can help her understand it? A．When can she see the play? B．Where can she see the play? C．What is the background of the play? 4．What is the main idea of the text? A．The process of design. B．The characters in a play. C．The experience of being a designer. 5．Where can you probably read the text? A．In a history book. B．In a fashion magazine. C．In a guidebook. When you hear the word “pilot”, you probably think of someone who flies a plane. But today, there is a new kind of pilot becoming more and more important—the drone (无人机) pilot. A drone, or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), is an aircraft without a human pilot on board. It is controlled by a pilot on the ground using a remote control. Drone pilots do many different kinds of jobs. For example, they can use drones to take amazing photos and videos from the sky for movies or news reports. Farmers hire them to check on crops and see which parts of the field need more water. In some cities, police use drones to help find lost people or watch traffic. Drones can also deliver packages quickly, which is much faster than a deliveryman on a bike. To become a professional drone pilot, you need to learn some important skills. First, you must be good at controlling the drone smoothly and safely. This requires a lot of practice. Second, you need to understand the rules for flying drones, like where you are allowed to fly and how high you can go. Finally, for special jobs like farming or making maps, you might need to learn how to use different cameras and sensors on the drone. This job is exciting because you can work outdoors and use cool technology. However, it also has challenges. Sometimes you have to work in bad weather, and you need to be very careful to avoid accidents. If you love technology and have a good sense of responsibility, this could be the perfect future job for you. 1．What is a drone? A．An aircraft without a pilot on board. B．A new type of video camera. C．A kind of robot on the ground. D．A special remote control. 2．How does the drone help the police? A．Taking photos for movies. B．Helping find lost people or watching traffic. C．Helping farmers check crops. D．Delivering packages. 3．What does a drone pilot need to do to become a professional? A．Learn to fly a real plane first. B．Get a university degree in farming. C．Understand the rules for flying drones. D．Work for the police. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Drones are more useful than airplanes. B．A drone pilot is an interesting and challenging new career. C．Everyone should learn how to fly a drone. D．Flying a drone is very easy and does not require any skills. Growing up is a wonderful journey, but it’s not always smooth. Many teenagers feel upset because of study pressure, arguments with friends or family, and other small problems. These upsets are normal, but knowing how to deal with them is important for our growth. First, when you feel upset, don’t hide your feelings. Talk to someone you trust, like your parents or best friend. They will listen to you carefully and give you helpful advice. For example, if you have an argument with your friend, explain your feelings calmly and try to understand their side. This can help you solve the problem quickly. Second, do something that makes you happy. You can listen to your favorite music, go for a walk in the park, or read a good book. These activities can help you relax and forget your worries. It’s also a good idea to do some exercise, such as running or playing ball games, because it can make you feel energetic and improve your mood. Third, learn to accept your mistakes and failures. No one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. When you fail an exam or do something wrong, don’t blame yourself too much. Instead, think about what you can learn from it and try to do better next time. Dealing with upsets is an important part of growing up. By following these tips, you can turn your upsets into opportunities to become stronger and more confident. 1．Who can you talk to when you feel upset? A．Your parents. B．Strangers. C．Enemies. D．Your classmates. 2．What can you do to relax when you feel upset? A．Hide your feelings. B．Listen to music. C．Blame yourself. D．Argue with friends. 3．What does the underlined word “smooth” mean in Chinese? A．困难的 B．顺利的 C．漫长的 D．短暂的 4．We can infer from the passage that ________. A．upsets are bad for teenagers’ growth B．we should hide our upsets from others C．exercise can help improve our mood D．we don’t need to learn from our mistakes 5．What’s the best title of the passage? A．How to Make Friends B．How to Deal with Upsets When Growing Up C．How to Study Well D．How to Talk to Parents There are many problems that young people have to face when we stop being children. At this age all feelings and emotions are very strong. All problems seem very important. The first terrible thing is misunderstanding from the dearest people—parents. They do not understand why we need to buy things we want to buy, listen to this type of music or spend most of our spare time with our friends. We do not want to hurt their feelings but they should try to understand us. The same misunderstanding we face sometimes comes from the side of the teachers. They think that youth is given for studying. But a person who only studies is dull (无趣的). Some teachers do not understand that youth is the time for us to learn about people and about ourselves, to play and to try things. They try to keep us away from all dangers in our lives. But teenagers need adults to take them seriously and give them a friendly hand, not a punishment. ▲ I think, young people need to have pocket money for buying books, pens, ice-cream and so on. But I do not think it is a good idea to ask parents to give me some money. If I find a part-time job, they will say it distracts (使分心) me from studies. If I ask for money, they say they spend too much on my school, clothes and other things. Sometimes the problem of fashion appears. My parents try to buy me clothes to their taste. Sometimes that’s all right, but sometimes I want something more fashionable, especially for summer. Then we can argue (争吵) for hours. It is interesting that in the question of clothes, my mother is on my side, but in the question of books and music, my father supports me. Being young is not easy, but it is an important time to learn and grow. Problems like these may feel big now, but they also help us understand ourselves better. If we can talk with adults honestly, find good friends who support us, and be true to who we are, we will get through these years smoothly. Remember, all these experiences—the good and the hard—are preparing us for the future ahead. 1．Which of the following sentences can be put in ▲ ? A．The problem of money is important as well. B．A part-time job is another common problem. C．It’s hard for us to ask parents for some money. D．Saving money is a necessary skill for the future. 2．Which sentence would the writer keep in his diary? A．I am too busy to take part-time jobs. B．I like my parents to buy clothes for me. C．I want to make more choices by myself. D．I hope my teachers help me with my study. 3．How is the passage organized? A．Time order. B．Space order. C．From specific to general. D．From general to specific. 4．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To show youth is even better than adulthood. B．To encourage teenagers to take on challenges. C．To advise teenagers to face problems bravely. D．To guide teenagers to deal with their daily needs. 1. Australia has become the first country to stop all children under 16 from having social media accounts (账户). The new law started on December 10, 2025. It hopes to keep young people safe from online dangers, such as habits that are hard to break, online bullying, and dangerous people. 2. Big apps like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Snapchat must now check how old their users are. If they find someone under 16, they will close that account. Companies that do not follow the rule could be fined up to 49.5 million Australian dollars. Most apps have agreed to follow the new law, but some, like X (old name: Twitter), say it limits free speech. 3. To check a user’s age, apps may ask for a short video selfie or an ID card. If an account is closed because the user is under 16, it can usually be opened again after the user turns 16. 4. Not every app has to follow this rule. Apps like WhatsApp, YouTube Kids, and Roblox are still okay for teenagers to use. But the government says it may add more apps to the list if they become very popular with young people. 5. Many parents are happy about the new rule. They think it will protect children and encourage them to play outside or do other healthy activities. However, some people who work with teenagers are worried. They say teenagers might try other apps that are less safe, or find ways to break the rules. This could put them in more danger. Some experts say it is like a “whack-a-mole” (打地鼠) game—when you stop one app, young people just move to another one. 6. Many countries are watching Australia to see what happens. Researchers from Stanford University will study if teenagers sleep better, play more sports, or face new problems online because of this law. 7. The central question remains: Can a ban truly make the internet safer for the young? 1．What is the main purpose of the new law? A．To help social media companies make more money. B．To stop all people from using social media. C．To protect young people from online dangers. D．To encourage teenagers to use more apps. 2．Which word has the same meaning as the underlined word “fined” in Paragraph 2? A．The weather is fine today. B．She has a fine taste in fashion. C．She has a fine figure. D．He was fined for speeding. 3．What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A．It describes why teenagers should not use social media. B．It lists all the apps that require age . C．It shows that age verification methods are not effective. D．It explains how social media apps check a user's age and what happens if an account is closed because of being under 16. 4．Why are some people who work with teenagers worried about the new law? A．Because it costs too much money. B．Because teenagers might use less safe apps instead. C．Because it encourages teenagers to play outside too much. D．Because it is too strict for parents. 5．How does the writer show that not everyone agrees with the new law? A．By giving examples of people who like it and people who don't. B．By only quoting social media companies. C．By telling teenagers to break the rules. D．By saying all parents are worried. ①Cooperation has received attention in many schools, possibly because a good teamwork spirit is of great importance to successful groups. It is believed that doing team sports is the best way to teach cooperation. In the team environment, members need to communicate with each other, which can prepare students for both schoolwork and future jobs. It can also encourage students to follow team rules. Students are more likely to help each other as well. Teamwork spirit is not born but built. Here are some things you can do to improve teamwork spirit. ②Communicate well with each other. When you’re meeting together, let everyone speak and listen to each other carefully. Ask questions to get everyone to talk so that everyone can communicate well with each other. ③Work together on projects. Let everyone help make decisions about the project. Decide on the team goal and divide the project into steps. Celebrate every win as a win for the whole team. ④Build trust and respect. It’s okay to do something wrong, but bravely say sorry to make the situation better. This helps build trust in your team. Respect others’ work and encourage everyone to do better. ⑤Much of the work in today’s world is completed in teams. For students, team sports, singing in a chorus (合唱队), and joining in unpaid community service are ways to learn about cooperation. 1．It’s helpful to improve team spirit by ________. A．letting everyone speak and listen to each other carelessly B．dividing the project into steps C．making decisions about the project alone D．listening to others’ opinions all the time 2．What does the underlined word “unpaid”mean? A．Interesting. B．Boring. C．Meaningful. D．Free. 3．Which of the following is the structure of the text? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①/②③④⑤ C．①②/③④/⑤ D．①②③④/⑤ 4．Whom is this text mainly written for? A．Students.

You’re not alone—many people feel unsure when talking to people they don’t know well. But the good news is that you can learn to feel more confident and make every chat a little brighter. Here are four simple habits to help you become a smoother, more friendly conversationalist. ②Be a curious listener. Instead of just waiting for your turn to speak, focus on what the other person is saying. Ask open-ended (开放式的) questions to keep the conversation moving. For example, if a friend mentions they joined a painting club, you could say, “That sounds cool! What kind of things do you like to paint?” This shows you’re interested and gives them a chance to share more. ③Stick to light, shared topics. The best small talk topics are things almost everyone can relate to, like a popular TV show, the school sports game, or even the rainy weather. Stay away from sensitive (敏感的) subjects like grades, family problems, or why someone is not in a group chat. If a topic starts to feel tense, just change to something easier: “Have you tried the new bubble tea shop near our school?” This kind of tactful change keeps the mood positive and avoids embarrassing moments. ④Be real, not perfect. If someone asks you about a book you haven’t read, don’t lie and say you have. Just laugh and say, “I haven’t gotten to that one yet—what did you think of it?” People value honesty, and it can even lead to a better conversation. A quick, kind comment like “I love your new sports shoes!” can also make someone’s day and break the ice. ⑤Let your body say “I’m here.” The way you stand and face others sends messages even before you speak. Stand tall, make soft eye contact, and smile—this tells people you’re open and friendly. Don’t bend (弯曲) your back or check your phone while someone is talking; that makes it seem like you’d rather be somewhere else. ⑥With a little practice, you’ll find that talking to new people doesn’t have to be scary. The most important thing is to show you care about the other person, and the rest will follow. 1．How does the author support the idea of “be a curious listener”? A．By giving an example of a follow-up question. B．By explaining how listening helps make friends. C．By comparing curious listeners to quiet listeners. D．By sharing a survey about what people like to talk about. 2．What does the word “tactful” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．rude and sudden B．slow and quiet C．smart and polite D．funny and interesting 3．What should you do when someone asks you about a book you haven’t read? A．Lie and say you have read it. B．Laugh and ask them about the book. C．Change the topic to a bubble tea shop. D．Check your phone and walk away. 4．Which of the following best describes the structure of the passage? A．①Problem → ②③④⑤Solutions → ⑥Conclusion B．①Introduction → ②Examples → ③④⑤Advice → ⑥Ending C．①Question → ②③Reason → ④⑤Result → ⑥Summary D．①Phenomenon → ②③④Comparison → ⑤⑥Suggestion 5．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To explain why some people are shy. B．To describe different types of conversations. C．To encourage readers to talk more with friends. D．To teach readers how to improve their conversation skills. We all enjoy being part of a group—there’s no better work than teamwork, right? Actually, I disagree. Teamwork can be hard. In fact, it was so difficult that I left my office job and started working from home on my own. It’s a much better fit for me, and it has made me think about why teamwork can make our jobs harder rather than easier. Personalities can make teamwork difficult. There’s often someone on the team that puts his need first. The team often goes along with this person, whose ideas might not be the best, just the loudest. Just one difficult personality can make teamwork hard. Combine (结合) several challenging personality types, and it’s even harder. Not having enough time together can also make teamwork challenging. For example, I was once on a team where we never had enough time to meet as a group. To successfully work as a team, you need time together—and lots of it. A final reason why teamwork is difficult is that there’s often no training on how to work on a team. You can’t just put people in a room and expect them to work well with each other. You need to build trust with your team members. Think of football players: They aren’t just given a ball and told to play.They practise, and they train. Teamwork can be hard, but working alone has its challenges too. When my computer doesn’t work, I don’t have an IT person to turn to. When I have a great idea, I don’t have anyone to share it with to see if it really is a great idea. Don’t get me wrong—I still like my team of one and enjoy making all of the important decisions myself. But now I realize what was wrong with the teamwork I did in the past and how good teamwork could be if done correctly. And that’s useful information—because one day I might want to turn my ME TEAM into a WE TEAM. 1．Why did the writer choose to work from home on his own? A．To keep himself busier. B．To keep himself healthier. C．To make his job easier. D．To make his team healthier. 2．Which of the following makes teamwork difficult? A．Strong personality. B．Lots of teamwork time. C．Challenging ideas. D．Clear team roles. 3．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．WE TEAM has hardly any advantages. B．ME TEAM needs a lot of IT engineers. C．ME TEAM has no challenges for the writer. D．WE TEAM may be the writer’s choice one day. 4．What is the purpose of the text? A．To show the advantages of teamwork. B．To tell the importance of teamwork. C．To introduce the influence of teamwork. D．To explain the difficulties of teamwork. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
