From the highest peaks to the deepest caves, we have always wanted to discover what lies beyond our familiar world. But why do we feel this strong need to explore nature? One reason is our natural curiosity. As humans, we are born to ask “why” and “how”. Nature is like a big book full of secrets, and we want to turn every page. When we explore a new forest or a remote mountain, we are satisfying our desire to learn and understand the world around us. For example, when scientists study plants in the rainforest, they not only learn about the plants themselves but also how they work with other living things to keep the ecosystem balanced. Another reason is the joy of discovery. There’s nothing quite like the excitement of finding something new—a rare flower, a hidden waterfall, or a group of animals you’ve never seen before. This joy makes us feel alive and connected to the world. It also helps us forget our worries and stress, even if it’s just for a little while. Exploring nature also teaches us important lessons. It shows us how strong and beautiful nature is, but it also reminds us how fragile it can be. When we see the damage caused by pollution or deforestation, we learn to value and protect our planet. This awareness helps us become better people and better stewards of the earth. In short, exploring nature is part of being human. It satisfies our curiosity, brings us joy, and teaches us to care for our world. So next time you have a chance, step outside and answer the call of nature—you won’t regret it. 1．Why do humans have a strong desire to explore nature? A．Because nature is easy to explore.

These wonders are formed over thousands or even millions of years, and they attract millions of visitors every year. Each natural wonder has its own unique beauty and story, making them precious gifts from nature. One of the most famous natural wonders is the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights. It appears in the sky near the North Pole, with bright colors like green, pink and purple. The lights dance in the sky, creating a wonderful scene. Many people travel to cold places just to see this amazing sight. The Northern Lights are formed by the interaction between the sun’s particles and the Earth’s magnetic field. Another amazing natural wonder is the Victoria Falls. It is located between Zambia and Zimbabwe, and it is one of the largest waterfalls in the world. The water falls down from a high cliff, making a loud noise that can be heard from far away. The mist from the waterfall creates rainbows on sunny days, which makes the scene even more beautiful. Visiting Victoria Falls allows people to feel the power and beauty of nature. These natural wonders are not only beautiful but also important for our planet. They provide homes for many animals and plants, and they help keep the balance of nature. However, many natural wonders are in danger because of pollution and human activities.

Caves are natural holes in the ground, often formed by water slowly eating away at rock over thousands of years. Some caves are small, but others are huge, with tunnels stretching for miles. Exploring caves, also known as caving, is an exciting but dangerous activity. Cavers must crawl through narrow passages, climb down deep holes, and sometimes swim through underground rivers. They need special equipment such as helmets, lights, and ropes to stay safe. One of the most famous caves in the world is the Son Doong Cave in Vietnam. It is the largest cave on Earth, big enough to fit a 40-storey building inside! Inside, there are underground jungles, rivers, and even clouds formed by the cave’s own weather system. Scientists study caves to learn more about the Earth’s history. The rocks and water in caves can tell us how the climate has changed over millions of years. Some caves also contain ancient paintings left by humans thousands of years ago. However, caves are very fragile environments. A single touch can damage a rock formation that took centuries to grow. That’s why cavers always follow the rule: “Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time.” 1．How are most caves formed according to the passage? A．By earthquakes. B．By water slowly wearing away rock. C．By volcanic eruptions. D．By humans digging them. 2．What does the word “caving” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The activity of climbing mountains. B．The activity of exploring caves. C．The activity of swimming in rivers. D．The activity of building caves. 3．Why is Son Doong Cave special? A．It is the deepest cave in the world.

C．To build underground cities. D．To grow plants inside. 5．What does the rule “Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints” mean? A．Cavers should take photos and not damage the cave. B．Cavers should take rocks home as souvenirs. C．Cavers should leave their footprints everywhere. D．Cavers should kill animals in the cave. The Amazon Rainforest is one of the greatest wonders of nature on Earth. It covers a large area in South America and is home to millions of plants and animals. Many people call it the “lungs of the Earth” because it produces about 20% of the world’s oxygen. The Amazon Rainforest has more plant and animal species than any other place on Earth. There are thousands of different trees, flowers and plants, many of which have medicinal value. Some plants can be used to treat diseases, and scientists are still discovering new uses for them. The rainforest is also home to many rare animals, such as jaguars, sloths and macaws. The rainforest’s climate is hot and wet all year round, which is perfect for plant growth. The thick trees form a canopy that blocks most of the sunlight from reaching the ground. This creates a special environment where many unique plants and animals live. However, the Amazon Rainforest is facing serious threats. Deforestation, caused by human activities like cutting down trees and farming, is destroying large parts of the rainforest. Protecting the Amazon Rainforest is very important for the whole world, as it provides oxygen and helps regulate the Earth’s climate. 1．What is the Amazon Rainforest called? A．The “heart of the Earth”. B．The “lungs of the Earth”. C．The “treasure of the Earth”. D．The “home of the Earth”. 2．Why is the Amazon Rainforest important? A．It produces a lot of oxygen.

A．The Amazon Rainforest is not important for the Earth. B．Human activities are damaging the Amazon Rainforest. C．The Amazon Rainforest has no medicinal plants. D．The Amazon Rainforest’s climate is cold. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Amazon Rainforest: A Natural Treasure. B．How to Protect the Amazon Rainforest. C．The Animals in the Amazon Rainforest. D．The Climate of the Amazon Rainforest. 二、U3单元话题热点预测 I have been friends with Li Ming for five years. We met when we were in the third grade of primary school, and we have grown up together ever since. Every time I look back on our growing journey, I always remember an unforgettable experience that happened when we were in Grade Seven. It made both of us grow a lot and made our friendship stronger. One afternoon in autumn, we planned to go to the park to do our homework together after school. It was a sunny day, and we talked and laughed on the way to the park. When we walked past a small river near the park, we saw a little boy playing by the river alone. He was chasing a butterfly and didn’t notice that he was getting closer and closer to the deep water. Suddenly, we heard a loud cry. The little boy fell into the river. He couldn’t swim and was struggling in the water, crying for help. At that moment, many people gathered around, but no one dared to jump into the river because the water was a little cold and deep. Li Ming and I were both scared, but we knew we had to do something to save the boy. Li Ming is good at swimming, so he took off his schoolbag and jumped into the river at once. I stood by the river and shouted for help, and at the same time, I found a long stick by the river and held it out to the boy. Li Ming swam to the boy quickly, held him tightly, and tried to swim to the bank with my help. It was not easy for him because the boy was crying and moving around. But after a few minutes, with the help of a passer-by who came later, we finally pulled the boy out of the water. The boy’s parents came soon after they got the news. They thanked us again and again and wanted to give us some money, but we refused. We said it was what we should do. When we got home, it was already dark, and our clothes were wet and dirty. Our parents were a little angry at first, but after they knew what happened, they praised us for being brave and helpful. This incident happened one year ago, but I still remember it clearly. It made me realize that growing up is not only about getting older, but also about learning to help others and taking responsibility. Li Ming and I have become braver and more responsible since then. We know that as we grow up, we should not only care about ourselves, but also care about the people around us. This unforgettable experience has become a precious memory in our growth journey, and it will always encourage us to be a kind and brave person. 1．How long have the writer and Li Ming been friends?

From childhood to adolescence, every teenager experiences great changes — in their appearance, personality, ability and way of thinking. These changes are the signs of growing up, and they make us become more independent and responsible. The biggest change in teenagers is the change of personality. Many children are dependent on their parents when they are young. They ask their parents for help with everything, from finishing homework to choosing clothes. But when they grow up, they start to have their own ideas and want to make decisions by themselves. They learn to take care of themselves, such as washing their own clothes and tidying their own rooms. They also start to care about others and learn to help their parents with housework. This is a very important step for teenagers to become independent. Another important change is the improvement of ability. When we are young, we can only do simple things, but as we grow up, we learn more knowledge and skills at school and in life. We can solve more difficult problems in study, and we can also deal with some small things in life by ourselves. For example, we can take the bus or subway to school alone, we can finish our homework without our parents’ supervision, and we can even help our friends solve their problems. The improvement of ability makes us more confident and helps us face more challenges in life. Besides, teenagers also change in their way of thinking. When we are children, we think about things in a simple way, but as we grow up, we start to think about things from different angles. We learn to understand others’ feelings and respect different opinions. We also start to have our own dreams and goals, and we will work hard to achieve them. This change of thinking makes us more mature and helps us make better decisions in life. Growing up is a process of constant change and self-improvement. Every change we experience is a part of our growth. As teenagers, we should cherish the process of growing up, accept our changes, and keep improving ourselves. Only in this way can we grow into a better person and live a more meaningful life. 1．What is the biggest change in teenagers according to the passage? A．The change of appearance. B．The change of personality. C．The improvement of ability. D．The change in the way of thinking. 2．What does the underlined word “dependent” mean in Paragraph 2? A．独立的 B．叛逆的 C．依赖的 D．自私的 3．Which of the following is a sign of teenagers becoming independent? A．Asking parents for help with all homework. B．Letting parents choose all clothes for them. C．Washing their own clothes and tidying rooms. D．Refusing to talk to parents about their life. 4．What can we learn from the passage about the improvement of teenagers’ ability? A．It makes teenagers more dependent on parents. B．It makes teenagers less confident in life. C．It helps teenagers face more challenges in life. D．It makes teenagers only able to do simple things. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Changes in Teenage Growth B．The Importance of Teenage Dreams C．The Way to Improve Teenage Ability D．The Relationship Between Teenagers and Parents Self-cognition is the foundation of teenage’s growth. It means knowing about our own strengths, weaknesses, hobbies and dreams. For teenagers, having a clear self-cognition can help us set the right life goals, make the right decisions, and grow into the person we want to be. Without self-cognition, we will be lost in the journey of growing up and don’t know where to go. In modern society, many teenagers are confused about their own self-cognition. Some of them only care about their grades and ignore their own hobbies and strengths. They study hard every day just because their parents and teachers want them to, but they don’t know what they really like and what they want to do in the future. Some of them follow others blindly—they do what their friends do, choose the hobbies their friends choose, and even set the same goals as their friends. They lose their own characteristics and become a “copy” of others. These teenagers are easy to feel lost and frustrated in their growth, because they are not living for themselves. Having a clear self-cognition is not an easy thing. It needs us to know ourselves through constant experience and thinking. First, we should try more things. We can take part in different kinds of school activities, such as sports meetings, art festivals and science competitions. By trying these things, we can find out what we are good at and what we really like.Second, we should often reflect on ourselves. We can ask ourselves some questions: What do I want to get from my study? What kind of person do I want to be in the future? What are my advantages and disadvantages? Answering these questions can help us know ourselves better. Third, we should listen to our own heart. Don’t let others’ opinions influence our own choices too much. Our parents and teachers can give us advice, but the final decision is always in our own hands. After we have a clear self-cognition, we should stick to our own dreams and work hard for them. Everyone has their own dream, and the dream is the motivation of our growth. No matter how difficult it is to achieve the dream, we should not give up easily. On the way to chasing our dreams, we may meet many difficulties and setbacks, but these difficulties can make us grow more quickly. We should learn to adjust ourselves, keep a positive attitude, and keep working hard. As long as we stick to our dreams and never give up, we will finally achieve them and grow into the person we want to be. Self-cognition and dream chasing are two important parts of teenage growth. They are closely connected and influence each other. A clear self-cognition can help us set the right dream, and chasing the dream can make us know ourselves better. As teenagers, we should learn to know ourselves clearly, stick to our own dreams, and make our growth journey full of meaning. 1．What is the foundation of teenage growth according to the passage? A．Good grades. B．Self-cognition. C．Parents’ advice. D．Friends’ support. 2．What does the underlined word “confused” mean in Paragraph 2? A．清晰的 B．自信的 C．困惑的 D．坚定的 3．Why do some teenagers feel lost and frustrated in their growth? A．They have clear self-cognition and set the right goals. B．They only care about their hobbies and ignore their grades. C．They follow others blindly and lose their own characteristics. D．They take part in many school activities and try different things. 4．How can teenagers have a clear self-cognition according to the passage? A．By only studying hard and getting good grades. B．By following others and doing what friends do. C．By trying more things, reflecting on themselves and listening to their own heart. D．By refusing to listen to parents’ and teachers’ advice and making their own decisions. 5．What is the relationship between self-cognition and dream chasing? A．They are independent and have no influence on each other. B．Self-cognition can help set the right dream, and chasing dreams makes us know ourselves better. C．Dream chasing is more important than self-cognition in teenage growth. D．Self-cognition is only needed when we achieve our dreams. Growing up is never an easy thing. For teenagers, it is a period full of excitement and challenges. We may experience success and joy, but we will also meet failure and frustration. These difficult moments are not obstacles, but important lessons that help us grow. A recent study about teenage growth shows that 78% of middle school students have experienced at least one big setback in their study or life, such as failing an important exam, losing a competition, or having a fight with good friends. Most of them felt sad, angry or even hopeless at first. But different attitudes lead to different results. Students who face setbacks bravely and try to find ways to solve problems usually grow more quickly than those who escape from the difficulties. 14-year-old Lin Tao is a good example. Last year, he took part in the school basketball team selection. He practiced hard for a month, but he was still not chosen because his skills were not good enough. Lin Tao felt very disappointed and even wanted to give up playing basketball forever. His father noticed his sadness and said to him, “Failure is not a bad thing. It tells you where you need to improve. If you give up, you will never know how much you can grow.” With his father’s words, Lin Tao changed his attitude. He asked the basketball coach for advice and made a detailed practice plan. He practiced running, shooting and passing for an hour every day after school. Every time he felt tired, he thought about his dream of playing basketball for the school team. After half a year of hard work, Lin Tao took part in the selection again and succeeded in joining the team. Not only did he improve his basketball skills, but he also learned to stick to his dream and face failure bravely. Setbacks are an inevitable part of growing up. They can make us sad and upset, but they can also make us stronger and more mature. As teenagers, we should not be afraid of setbacks. Instead, we should learn to face them with a positive attitude, find our own problems, and try to improve ourselves. In this way, every setback will become a stepping stone for our growth, and we will become a better person in the journey of growing up. 1．What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean in Paragraph 1? A．机会 B．障碍 C．目标 D．经历 2．What can we learn from the recent study about teenage growth? A．Most teenagers have met setbacks in their growth. B．Few teenagers experience failure in their study. C．All teenagers can face setbacks bravely. D．Setbacks make teenagers hopeless forever. 3．Why didn’t Lin Tao join the school basketball team at first? A．He didn’t practice hard enough. B．He had no interest in basketball. C．His basketball skills were not good enough. D．He was too short to play basketball. 4．What did Lin Tao do after he failed the first selection? A．He gave up playing basketball at once. B．He asked his father to criticize the coach. C．He practiced hard and made great progress. D．He stopped talking to his friends about basketball. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Teenagers should give up their dreams when they meet setbacks. B．Setbacks are necessary for teenage growth and make us stronger. C．Parents’ encouragement is the most important for teenage growth. D．It’s easy for teenagers to join school teams if they practice hard. 三、U1-U2单元话题热点预测 Do you often feel stressed? If your answer is yes, you are not alone.

You’re not alone! The real challenge isn’t having too many hobbies, but how you manage them. In this passage, we’ll share how to enjoy all your hobbies without tiring yourself. Focus on what you enjoy now. It’s not easy to follow every hobby at the same time. The key is to focus on the hobbies that can bring you the most energy right now. For example, this month you’re excited about photography, but next month, you might want to try cooking. By changing hobbies to what excites you, you’ll stay interested and avoid feeling tired. Set a flexible schedule (灵活的时间表). A flexible schedule helps you stay organized without pressure. You can create time blocks, such as one hour for drawing and another for guitar practice. If one hobby catches your attention more than the other, feel free to give it more time. ________ Why not get creative and put your hobbies together possible? For example, if you love being outdoors and photography, take your camera with you when you go out. By doing this, you can enjoy the best of both worlds while keeping things fresh and exciting. Perfect is not necessary. When you have many interests, it’s easy to feel stress to be good at all of them. However, hobbies should be enjoyable, not stressful!

CutsCuts are common in daily life, but we need to deal with them correctly to avoid infection(感染). First, wash the cut with clean running water for 5 to 10 minutes to remove dirt. Then, dry it gently with a clean towel. Next, cover the cut with a bandage or clean cloth to keep it clean. If the cut is deep or bleeding heavily, press it with a clean cloth and ask an adult for help or call the emergency number. Remember not to touch the cut with dirty hands. Proper first aid can help the cut heal(痊愈) quickly and keep us safe. BurnsWhen you get burned, it’s important to take first-aid measures immediately to reduce pain and damage. First, put the burned area under running water for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not use ice, as it can hurt the skin more. Cover the burn with a clean, soft cloth. If the burn is large or on the face, hands or feet, ask for medical help at once. Following these steps can protect the burned skin and help it recover. ChokingChoking is dangerous and needs quick help, especially for children. If someone is choking and can’t speak or cough, you should help them at once. Stand behind the person, wrap(缠绕) your arms around their waist(腰部), and make a fist with one hand. Put your fist below their chest and above their stomach, then pull it inward and upward(向内向上) quickly. Repeat this until the object comes out.

Healthy eating is one of the most important ways to stay healthy. It doesn’t mean you have to eat expensive food, but you need to choose the right food and eat in a proper way. Many people think healthy eating is boring, but that’s not true. You can have a variety of healthy foods. Grains are important for energy—you can eat rice, wheat and corn every day. Vegetables and fruit are rich in vitamins, which help your body work well. Protein is also necessary—you can get it from meat, fish, eggs and beans. It’s important to avoid eating too much sweet or fried food. Sweet food can make you fat and is bad for your teeth. Fried food has too much fat and is bad for your heart. You should also eat regularly—don’t skip meals, especially breakfast. Breakfast gives you energy for the whole day. Drinking plenty of water is another key to healthy eating. Water helps your body digest food and keep you hydrated. You should drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. Avoid drinking too much cola or other sugary drinks, as they are not good for your health. Healthy eating habits are easy to develop. Start with small changes, and you will see a difference soon. Remember, healthy eating is not difficult—it’s all about making the right choices. 1．What is the passage mainly about? A．Expensive food is healthy. B．How to eat healthily. C．How to keep fit.

It was his first time living away from home, and he was excited to learn to manage things by himself. One sunny afternoon, we decided to walk to the park. On the way, we saw a cute dog. Leo, who loves animals, immediately went to pet it. Suddenly, the dog became nervous. It barked loudly and bit Leo on the arm before he could move away! “It’s bleeding! What do we do?” Leo cried out in pain, and his face was pale. Seeing his fear got me out of my panic. I took a deep breath, and the first aid and safety lessons from school came back to me. “Stay calm! I know what to do,” I said, trying to sound confident. We found a nearby public restroom. I held Leo’s arm under the running water and washed the wound with soap for five minutes. Next, I used a clean cloth from my bag, pressing it firmly against the wound until the bleeding slowed. Then, I covered it with a bandage. At the hospital, the doctor gave Leo a tetanus shot (破伤风疫苗) and a rabies vaccination (狂犬病疫苗). He praised us, saying, “You did the right thing by cleaning the wound thoroughly.” This accident was a valuable lesson. Safety is important, and we must always think before we act. Knowing first aid is powerful—it turns panic into courage. Now, we both understand that safety must always come first. 1．Why did Leo go to pet the dog? A．Because the dog looked lonely. B．Because the dog was right in the park. C．Because the dog waved its tail to him. D．Because he has a great love for animals. 2．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

We have to deal with a lot of homework every day, take different kinds of exams regularly, and attend various after-school classes. Many students spend most of their time studying hard and even give up their hobbies, completely forgetting to relax. However, relaxation is very beneficial for students’ study and health, and it should never be ignored. First of all, relaxation helps students improve their study efficiency. When students are too stressed, their mind will become unclear, and they can’t focus on their study or remember knowledge well. Taking proper time to relax can make their mind clear and calm, helping them finish their homework faster and learn new knowledge more easily. This is why many top students always know how to balance study and relaxation. Secondly, relaxation is good for students’ physical health. Staying in front of the desk for a long time without any breaks can cause a lot of health problems, such as tiredness, headaches, eye strain and back pain. Taking a short break to do some light exercise, go for a walk or stretch our body can help us relax our muscles and relieve physical fatigue. It can also improve our sleep quality, so we can get enough rest at night and have more energy to study the next day. Besides, relaxation helps students keep a good mood. Students often feel nervous and anxious because of heavy study tasks and important exams. These negative feelings not only affect their study, but also hurt their mental health. Proper relaxation can help them reduce these bad feelings, feel happy and confident, and learn to deal with difficulties bravely. Many students think that relaxation is a waste of time, but in fact, it’s a smart way to help them study better and stay healthy. Students can find many simple ways to relax in their daily life, such as listening to soft music while doing homework, playing sports with friends after school, talking to parents or teachers when feeling stressed, or spending a little time enjoying nature on weekends. Balancing study and relaxation is the key to a happy and healthy school life, and it can help us grow better and achieve more in the future. 1．Why is relaxation important for students? A．It slows homework speed B．It improves study efficiency C．It increases stress D．It makes them forget homework 2．What problem does staying at the desk long cause? A．Headache B．Fever C．Cold D．Toothache 3．The underlined word “negative” (in Paragraph 4) probably means ______. A．good and positive B．bad and unpleasant C．happy and excited D．calm and peaceful 4．We can infer that ______. A．students should study all day B．relaxation is a waste of time C．students can relax by listening to music D．relaxation can’t build confidence 5．What is the best title? A．How to Study Better B．Benefits of Relaxation for Students C．Ways to Relax D．Importance of Study 2 立足新教材，自学有章法，练习有重点！ 1 立足新教材，自学有章法，练习有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语核心题型讲通练透系列资料，名师甄选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语核心题型讲通练透系列资料，名师甄选！ 专题04 阅读理解押题预测15篇 （紧贴新教材话题，Units 1-4） 新教材人教版八下期中复习单元主题清单 单元序号 单元主题 相关主题 1 Time to Relax（放松时光） 课余活动、兴趣爱好、休闲生活 2 Stay Healthy（保持健康） 健康管理、身体不适、安全防护、自我照顾 3 Growing Up（成长） 情绪管理、人际交往、心态建设、问题解决 4 The Wonders of Nature（自然奇观） 自然探索、地理风貌、自然奇观、人与自然的联结   精   练   导   航 目录 一、U4单元话题热点预测 1 二、U3单元话题热点预测 8 三、U1-U2单元话题热点预测 17   主   题   阅   读 一、U4单元话题热点预测 The Call of Nature: Why We Can’t Stop Exploring Since the beginning of time, humans have been drawn to nature’s wonders. From the highest peaks to the deepest caves, we have always wanted to discover what lies beyond our familiar world. But why do we feel this strong need to explore nature? One reason is our natural curiosity. As humans, we are born to ask “why” and “how”. Nature is like a big book full of secrets, and we want to turn every page. When we explore a new forest or a remote mountain, we are satisfying our desire to learn and understand the world around us. For example, when scientists study plants in the rainforest, they not only learn about the plants themselves but also how they work with other living things to keep the ecosystem balanced. Another reason is the joy of discovery. There’s nothing quite like the excitement of finding something new—a rare flower, a hidden waterfall, or a group of animals you’ve never seen before. This joy makes us feel alive and connected to the world. It also helps us forget our worries and stress, even if it’s just for a little while. Exploring nature also teaches us important lessons. It shows us how strong and beautiful nature is, but it also reminds us how fragile it can be. When we see the damage caused by pollution or deforestation, we learn to value and protect our planet. This awareness helps us become better people and better stewards of the earth. In short, exploring nature is part of being human. It satisfies our curiosity, brings us joy, and teaches us to care for our world. So next time you have a chance, step outside and answer the call of nature—you won’t regret it. 1．Why do humans have a strong desire to explore nature? A．Because nature is easy to explore. B．Because of their natural curiosity. C．Because they want to escape from their studies. D．Because nature can provide them with food. 2．What can we learn from exploring nature? A．How to make more money. B．How to live a comfortable life. C．The importance of protecting the earth. D．The history of human beings. 3．What does the underlined word “fragile” probably mean? A．easy to be hurt B．very strong C．quite large D．hard to find 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Exploring nature is only for scientists. B．People can’t get any joy from exploring nature. C．Exploring nature helps people reduce stress. D．Nature is not affected by human activities. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The History of Exploring Nature B．The Dangers of Exploring Nature C．Why We Explore Nature D．How to Explore Nature 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，阐述了人类探索自然的原因，包括天生的好奇心、发现的喜悦以及探索能让我们学到重要教训等，呼吁人们响应自然的召唤去探索自然。 1．第二段明确提到“One reason is our natural curiosity. As humans, we are born to ask ‘why’ and ‘how’.”，说明人类有强烈探索自然的欲望是因为天生的好奇心。 2．第四段指出“When we see the damage caused by pollution or deforestation, we learn to value and protect our planet.”，表明从探索自然中我们能学到保护地球的重要性。 3．第四段指出“but it also reminds us how fragile it can be. When we see the damage caused by pollution or deforestation...”，看到污染或砍伐森林造成的破坏，可知这里说自然也有脆弱的一面，“fragile”意思是“容易受伤的”。 4．第三段提到“This joy makes us feel alive and connected to the world. It also helps us forget our worries and stress, even if it’s just for a little while.”，说明探索自然能帮助人们减轻压力。 5．文章开篇提出“But why do we feel this strong need to explore nature?”，接着从多个方面阐述原因，所以最佳标题是“Why We Explore Nature”。 Our planet is full of amazing natural wonders that show the magic of nature. These wonders are formed over thousands or even millions of years, and they attract millions of visitors every year. Each natural wonder has its own unique beauty and story, making them precious gifts from nature. One of the most famous natural wonders is the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights. It appears in the sky near the North Pole, with bright colors like green, pink and purple. The lights dance in the sky, creating a wonderful scene. Many people travel to cold places just to see this amazing sight. The Northern Lights are formed by the interaction between the sun’s particles and the Earth’s magnetic field. Another amazing natural wonder is the Victoria Falls. It is located between Zambia and Zimbabwe, and it is one of the largest waterfalls in the world. The water falls down from a high cliff, making a loud noise that can be heard from far away. The mist from the waterfall creates rainbows on sunny days, which makes the scene even more beautiful. Visiting Victoria Falls allows people to feel the power and beauty of nature. These natural wonders are not only beautiful but also important for our planet. They provide homes for many animals and plants, and they help keep the balance of nature. However, many natural wonders are in danger because of pollution and human activities. It’s our duty to protect them so that future generations can also enjoy their beauty. 1．What makes natural wonders precious gifts from nature? A．They are formed quickly. B．They have unique beauty and stories. C．They are easy to visit. D．They are not in danger. 2．Why do many people travel to cold places? A．To see the Victoria Falls. B．To protect natural wonders.

D．The Victoria Falls is the largest waterfall in the world. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．How to Protect Natural Wonders B．Amazing Natural Wonders Around the World C．The Story of Natural Wonders D．Why Natural Wonders Are in Danger 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了世界上令人惊叹的自然奇观，以北极光和维多利亚瀑布为例，阐述了它们的独特美景、形成原因，同时强调了自然奇观的重要性以及保护它们的必要性。 1．第一段明确提到：“Each natural wonder has its own unique beauty and story, making them precious gifts from nature.”，这直接说明自然奇观之所以是大自然珍贵的礼物，是因为它们有独特的美景和故事。 2．第二段指出：“Many people travel to cold places just to see this amazing sight.”，其中“this amazing sight”指代前文提到的北极光（Aurora Borealis / Northern Lights），因此人们去寒冷的地方是为了看北极光。 3．第二段末尾提到：“The Northern Lights are formed by the interaction between the sun’s particles and the Earth’s magnetic field.”，结合常识和语境，北极光是太阳粒子与地球磁场共同作用形成的，因此“interaction”意为“相互作用、共同运作的过程”。 4．最后一段提到：“It’s our duty to protect them so that future generations can also enjoy their beauty.”，由此可推断出，我们应该为了后代保护自然奇观。 5．文章开头总起句：“Our planet is full of amazing natural wonders that show the magic of nature.”，后文围绕北极光、维多利亚瀑布等自然奇观展开介绍，因此本文最佳标题是“Amazing Natural Wonders Around the World”。 The Hidden World of Caves Deep underground, there is a hidden world that few people have ever seen. Caves are natural holes in the ground, often formed by water slowly eating away at rock over thousands of years. Some caves are small, but others are huge, with tunnels stretching for miles. Exploring caves, also known as caving, is an exciting but dangerous activity. Cavers must crawl through narrow passages, climb down deep holes, and sometimes swim through underground rivers. They need special equipment such as helmets, lights, and ropes to stay safe. One of the most famous caves in the world is the Son Doong Cave in Vietnam. It is the largest cave on Earth, big enough to fit a 40-storey building inside! Inside, there are underground jungles, rivers, and even clouds formed by the cave’s own weather system. Scientists study caves to learn more about the Earth’s history. The rocks and water in caves can tell us how the climate has changed over millions of years. Some caves also contain ancient paintings left by humans thousands of years ago. However, caves are very fragile environments. A single touch can damage a rock formation that took centuries to grow. That’s why cavers always follow the rule: “Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time.” 1．How are most caves formed according to the passage? A．By earthquakes. B．By water slowly wearing away rock. C．By volcanic eruptions. D．By humans digging them. 2．What does the word “caving” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The activity of climbing mountains. B．The activity of exploring caves. C．The activity of swimming in rivers. D．The activity of building caves. 3．Why is Son Doong Cave special? A．It is the deepest cave in the world. B．It has its own weather system. C．It is the oldest cave in the world. D．It was discovered recently. 4．Why do scientists study caves? A．To find hidden treasures. B．To learn about the Earth’s history. C．To build underground cities. D．To grow plants inside. 5．What does the rule “Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints” mean? A．Cavers should take photos and not damage the cave. B．Cavers should take rocks home as souvenirs. C．Cavers should leave their footprints everywhere. D．Cavers should kill animals in the cave. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了洞穴的形成、洞穴探险活动、世界著名的韩松洞、科学家研究洞穴的意义，以及保护脆弱洞穴环境的重要性。 1．第一段：“Caves are natural holes in the ground, often formed by water slowly eating away at rock over thousands of years.”，说明洞穴通常是水经过数千年缓慢侵蚀岩石形成的。 2．第二段：“Exploring caves, also known as caving, is an exciting but dangerous activity.”，直接说明“caving”是“exploring caves”的别称。 3．第三段：“Inside, there are underground jungles, rivers, and even clouds formed by the cave’s own weather system.”，说明韩松洞内部有自己的天气系统，这是其特别之处。 4．第四段：“Scientists study caves to learn more about the Earth’s history.”，说明科学家研究洞穴是为了了解地球的历史。 5．第五段：“A single touch can damage a rock formation that took centuries to grow.”，说明洞穴环境极其脆弱。规则“Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints”要求探险者只可以拍照、不带走任何实物，只留下脚印、不留下垃圾或破坏痕迹，核心是保护洞穴不被人为破坏。 The Amazon Rainforest is one of the greatest wonders of nature on Earth. It covers a large area in South America and is home to millions of plants and animals. Many people call it the “lungs of the Earth” because it produces about 20% of the world’s oxygen. The Amazon Rainforest has more plant and animal species than any other place on Earth. There are thousands of different trees, flowers and plants, many of which have medicinal value. Some plants can be used to treat diseases, and scientists are still discovering new uses for them. The rainforest is also home to many rare animals, such as jaguars, sloths and macaws. The rainforest’s climate is hot and wet all year round, which is perfect for plant growth. The thick trees form a canopy that blocks most of the sunlight from reaching the ground. This creates a special environment where many unique plants and animals live. However, the Amazon Rainforest is facing serious threats. Deforestation, caused by human activities like cutting down trees and farming, is destroying large parts of the rainforest. Protecting the Amazon Rainforest is very important for the whole world, as it provides oxygen and helps regulate the Earth’s climate. 1．What is the Amazon Rainforest called? A．The “heart of the Earth”. B．The “lungs of the Earth”. C．The “treasure of the Earth”. D．The “home of the Earth”. 2．Why is the Amazon Rainforest important? A．It produces a lot of oxygen.

A．The Amazon Rainforest is not important for the Earth. B．Human activities are damaging the Amazon Rainforest. C．The Amazon Rainforest has no medicinal plants. D．The Amazon Rainforest’s climate is cold. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Amazon Rainforest: A Natural Treasure. B．How to Protect the Amazon Rainforest. C．The Animals in the Amazon Rainforest. D．The Climate of the Amazon Rainforest. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了亚马逊雨林的基本情况，包括它的别称、丰富的动植物资源与药用价值、特殊的气候与生态环境，同时指出亚马逊雨林正面临人类活动带来的严重威胁，强调了保护亚马逊雨林对全球的重要性。 1．第一段明确提到“Many people call it the ‘lungs of the Earth’”，说明亚马逊雨林被称为“地球之肺”。 2．第一段提到“it produces about 20% of the world’s oxygen”，最后一段也提到“Protecting the Amazon Rainforest is very important for the whole world, as it provides oxygen and helps regulate the Earth’s climate”，说明亚马逊雨林重要的原因是它提供氧气。 3．后文“caused by human activities like cutting down trees and farming, is destroying large parts of the rainforest”的解释可知，deforestation由砍树等人类活动引发，会摧毁大片雨林，含义为大面积砍伐树木的过程。 4．最后一段内容提到“the Amazon Rainforest is facing serious threats. Deforestation, caused by human activities like cutting down trees and farming, is destroying large parts of the rainforest”，说明砍伐森林由人类砍树、农耕等活动导致，正摧毁大片雨林，可推知人类活动正在破坏亚马逊雨林。 5．本文全面介绍了亚马逊雨林的生态价值与现存威胁，A选项“亚马逊雨林：自然宝藏”可以概括全文主旨；B选项“如何保护亚马逊雨林”，原文未提及保护的具体方法；C选项“亚马逊雨林中的动物”和D选项“亚马逊雨林的气候”均仅为文章部分内容，概括片面。 二、U3单元话题热点预测 I have been friends with Li Ming for five years. We met when we were in the third grade of primary school, and we have grown up together ever since. Every time I look back on our growing journey, I always remember an unforgettable experience that happened when we were in Grade Seven. It made both of us grow a lot and made our friendship stronger. One afternoon in autumn, we planned to go to the park to do our homework together after school. It was a sunny day, and we talked and laughed on the way to the park. When we walked past a small river near the park, we saw a little boy playing by the river alone. He was chasing a butterfly and didn’t notice that he was getting closer and closer to the deep water. Suddenly, we heard a loud cry. The little boy fell into the river. He couldn’t swim and was struggling in the water, crying for help. At that moment, many people gathered around, but no one dared to jump into the river because the water was a little cold and deep. Li Ming and I were both scared, but we knew we had to do something to save the boy. Li Ming is good at swimming, so he took off his schoolbag and jumped into the river at once. I stood by the river and shouted for help, and at the same time, I found a long stick by the river and held it out to the boy. Li Ming swam to the boy quickly, held him tightly, and tried to swim to the bank with my help. It was not easy for him because the boy was crying and moving around. But after a few minutes, with the help of a passer-by who came later, we finally pulled the boy out of the water. The boy’s parents came soon after they got the news. They thanked us again and again and wanted to give us some money, but we refused. We said it was what we should do. When we got home, it was already dark, and our clothes were wet and dirty. Our parents were a little angry at first, but after they knew what happened, they praised us for being brave and helpful. This incident happened one year ago, but I still remember it clearly. It made me realize that growing up is not only about getting older, but also about learning to help others and taking responsibility. Li Ming and I have become braver and more responsible since then. We know that as we grow up, we should not only care about ourselves, but also care about the people around us.

These changes are the signs of growing up, and they make us become more independent and responsible. The biggest change in teenagers is the change of personality. Many children are dependent on their parents when they are young. They ask their parents for help with everything, from finishing homework to choosing clothes. But when they grow up, they start to have their own ideas and want to make decisions by themselves. They learn to take care of themselves, such as washing their own clothes and tidying their own rooms. They also start to care about others and learn to help their parents with housework. This is a very important step for teenagers to become independent. Another important change is the improvement of ability. When we are young, we can only do simple things, but as we grow up, we learn more knowledge and skills at school and in life. We can solve more difficult problems in study, and we can also deal with some small things in life by ourselves. For example, we can take the bus or subway to school alone, we can finish our homework without our parents’ supervision, and we can even help our friends solve their problems. The improvement of ability makes us more confident and helps us face more challenges in life. Besides, teenagers also change in their way of thinking. When we are children, we think about things in a simple way, but as we grow up, we start to think about things from different angles. We learn to understand others’ feelings and respect different opinions. We also start to have our own dreams and goals, and we will work hard to achieve them. This change of thinking makes us more mature and helps us make better decisions in life. Growing up is a process of constant change and self-improvement. Every change we experience is a part of our growth. As teenagers, we should cherish the process of growing up, accept our changes, and keep improving ourselves. Only in this way can we grow into a better person and live a more meaningful life. 1．What is the biggest change in teenagers according to the passage? A．The change of appearance. B．The change of personality. C．The improvement of ability. D．The change in the way of thinking. 2．What does the underlined word “dependent” mean in Paragraph 2? A．独立的 B．叛逆的 C．依赖的 D．自私的 3．Which of the following is a sign of teenagers becoming independent? A．Asking parents for help with all homework. B．Letting parents choose all clothes for them. C．Washing their own clothes and tidying rooms. D．Refusing to talk to parents about their life. 4．What can we learn from the passage about the improvement of teenagers’ ability? A．It makes teenagers more dependent on parents. B．It makes teenagers less confident in life. C．It helps teenagers face more challenges in life. D．It makes teenagers only able to do simple things. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Changes in Teenage Growth B．The Importance of Teenage Dreams C．The Way to Improve Teenage Ability D．The Relationship Between Teenagers and Parents 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇成长主题说明文，围绕青少年成长过程中的四大变化——外貌、性格、能力与思维方式展开论述，重点阐释了性格独立、能力提升与思维成熟的表现与意义。 1．原文第二段提到“The biggest change in teenagers is the change of personality.”，点明性格变化是青少年最大的变化。 2．上下文提到“Many children are dependent on their parents when they are young. They ask their parents for help with everything...”，说明孩子小时候凡事都求助父母，体现“依赖”的含义，与后文“become independent（变得独立）”形成反义对比。 3．原文第二段提到“They learn to take care of themselves, such as washing their own clothes and tidying their own rooms.”，这是青少年走向独立的具体表现。 4．原文第三段提到“The improvement of ability makes us more confident and helps us face more challenges in life.”，说明能力提升能帮助青少年应对更多生活挑战。 5．文章开篇点明“every teenager experiences great changes — in their appearance, personality and ability”，全文围绕青少年成长中的各类变化展开论述，选项A最能概括全文主旨。 Self-cognition is the foundation of teenage’s growth. It means knowing about our own strengths, weaknesses, hobbies and dreams. For teenagers, having a clear self-cognition can help us set the right life goals, make the right decisions, and grow into the person we want to be. Without self-cognition, we will be lost in the journey of growing up and don’t know where to go. In modern society, many teenagers are confused about their own self-cognition. Some of them only care about their grades and ignore their own hobbies and strengths. They study hard every day just because their parents and teachers want them to, but they don’t know what they really like and what they want to do in the future. Some of them follow others blindly—they do what their friends do, choose the hobbies their friends choose, and even set the same goals as their friends. They lose their own characteristics and become a “copy” of others. These teenagers are easy to feel lost and frustrated in their growth, because they are not living for themselves. Having a clear self-cognition is not an easy thing. It needs us to know ourselves through constant experience and thinking. First, we should try more things. We can take part in different kinds of school activities, such as sports meetings, art festivals and science competitions. By trying these things, we can find out what we are good at and what we really like.Second, we should often reflect on ourselves. We can ask ourselves some questions: What do I want to get from my study? What kind of person do I want to be in the future? What are my advantages and disadvantages? Answering these questions can help us know ourselves better. Third, we should listen to our own heart. Don’t let others’ opinions influence our own choices too much. Our parents and teachers can give us advice, but the final decision is always in our own hands. After we have a clear self-cognition, we should stick to our own dreams and work hard for them. Everyone has their own dream, and the dream is the motivation of our growth. No matter how difficult it is to achieve the dream, we should not give up easily. On the way to chasing our dreams, we may meet many difficulties and setbacks, but these difficulties can make us grow more quickly. We should learn to adjust ourselves, keep a positive attitude, and keep working hard. As long as we stick to our dreams and never give up, we will finally achieve them and grow into the person we want to be. Self-cognition and dream chasing are two important parts of teenage growth. They are closely connected and influence each other. A clear self-cognition can help us set the right dream, and chasing the dream can make us know ourselves better. As teenagers, we should learn to know ourselves clearly, stick to our own dreams, and make our growth journey full of meaning. 1．What is the foundation of teenage growth according to the passage?

For teenagers, it is a period full of excitement and challenges. We may experience success and joy, but we will also meet failure and frustration. These difficult moments are not obstacles, but important lessons that help us grow. A recent study about teenage growth shows that 78% of middle school students have experienced at least one big setback in their study or life, such as failing an important exam, losing a competition, or having a fight with good friends. Most of them felt sad, angry or even hopeless at first. But different attitudes lead to different results. Students who face setbacks bravely and try to find ways to solve problems usually grow more quickly than those who escape from the difficulties. 14-year-old Lin Tao is a good example. Last year, he took part in the school basketball team selection. He practiced hard for a month, but he was still not chosen because his skills were not good enough. Lin Tao felt very disappointed and even wanted to give up playing basketball forever. His father noticed his sadness and said to him, “Failure is not a bad thing. It tells you where you need to improve. If you give up, you will never know how much you can grow.” With his father’s words, Lin Tao changed his attitude. He asked the basketball coach for advice and made a detailed practice plan. He practiced running, shooting and passing for an hour every day after school. Every time he felt tired, he thought about his dream of playing basketball for the school team. After half a year of hard work, Lin Tao took part in the selection again and succeeded in joining the team. Not only did he improve his basketball skills, but he also learned to stick to his dream and face failure bravely. Setbacks are an inevitable part of growing up. They can make us sad and upset, but they can also make us stronger and more mature. As teenagers, we should not be afraid of setbacks. Instead, we should learn to face them with a positive attitude, find our own problems, and try to improve ourselves. In this way, every setback will become a stepping stone for our growth, and we will become a better person in the journey of growing up. 1．What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean in Paragraph 1? A．机会 B．障碍 C．目标 D．经历 2．What can we learn from the recent study about teenage growth? A．Most teenagers have met setbacks in their growth. B．Few teenagers experience failure in their study. C．All teenagers can face setbacks bravely. D．Setbacks make teenagers hopeless forever. 3．Why didn’t Lin Tao join the school basketball team at first? A．He didn’t practice hard enough. B．He had no interest in basketball. C．His basketball skills were not good enough. D．He was too short to play basketball. 4．What did Lin Tao do after he failed the first selection? A．He gave up playing basketball at once. B．He asked his father to criticize the coach. C．He practiced hard and made great progress. D．He stopped talking to his friends about basketball. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Teenagers should give up their dreams when they meet setbacks. B．Setbacks are necessary for teenage growth and make us stronger. C．Parents’ encouragement is the most important for teenage growth. D．It’s easy for teenagers to join school teams if they practice hard. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文通过研究数据和林涛的故事，说明挫折是成长过程中不可避免的一部分，并鼓励青少年积极面对挫折。 1．第一段中提到“These difficult moments are not obstacles, but important lessons that help us grow.”结合前文“failure and frustration”可知，这些困难时刻不是阻碍，而是帮助成长的经验，因此obstacles意为“障碍”。 2．第二段中指出“78% of middle school students have experienced at least one big setback”，说明大多数青少年在成长过程中都经历过挫折。 3．第三段提到“he was still not chosen because his skills were not good enough.”说明林涛第一次没有入选是因为篮球技术不够好。 4．第四段中提到“He asked the basketball coach for advice and made a detailed practice plan…After half a year…succeeded in joining the team.”说明他后来努力练习并取得进步。 5．最后一段指出“Setbacks are an inevitable part of growing up…they can also make us stronger and more mature.”说明文章强调挫折对成长的重要作用。 三、U1-U2单元话题热点预测 Do you often feel stressed?

You’re not alone! The real challenge isn’t having too many hobbies, but how you manage them. In this passage, we’ll share how to enjoy all your hobbies without tiring yourself. Focus on what you enjoy now. It’s not easy to follow every hobby at the same time. The key is to focus on the hobbies that can bring you the most energy right now. For example, this month you’re excited about photography, but next month, you might want to try cooking. By changing hobbies to what excites you, you’ll stay interested and avoid feeling tired. Set a flexible schedule (灵活的时间表). A flexible schedule helps you stay organized without pressure. You can create time blocks, such as one hour for drawing and another for guitar practice. If one hobby catches your attention more than the other, feel free to give it more time. ________ Why not get creative and put your hobbies together possible? For example, if you love being outdoors and photography, take your camera with you when you go out. By doing this, you can enjoy the best of both worlds while keeping things fresh and exciting. Perfect is not necessary. When you have many interests, it’s easy to feel stress to be good at all of them. However, hobbies should be enjoyable, not stressful! Focus on the learning process and let go of the need to be perfect. It’s okay to be “just okay” at some things—what matters most is that they bring you joy. 1．What is the real challenge for people with too many hobbies? A．Managing hobbies well. B．Deciding which hobby to give up. C．Finding enough time for each hobby. D．Choosing which hobby to begin with. 2．In the passage, the underlined phrase “what excites you” refers to ________. A．your excited feelings B．the hobbies you are interested in C．all of your hobbies D．photography and cooking 3．Why is setting a flexible schedule suggested? A．It provides people with more time to try new hobbies. B．It helps people stick to the schedule more easily. C．It gives people more chances to make friends. D．It allows people to enjoy hobbies more freely. 4．Which of the following can be put in ________? A．Mix hobbies for more fun. B．Take up more hobbies. C．Turn a hobby into an action. D．Plan your trip ahead of time. 5．What is the writer’s attitude about being perfect in each hobby? A．Useful. B．Respectable. C．Needless. D．Surprising. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在拥有多个爱好时如何平衡管理的方法，包括专注当下喜欢的爱好、制定灵活时间表、融合爱好以及不必追求完美。 1．文中提到“The real challenge isn’t having too many hobbies, but how you manage them.”，这直接说明真正的挑战是管理好爱好。 2．前文提到“focus on the hobbies that can bring you the most energy right now”，并举例不同月份会对不同爱好感到兴奋，因此“what excites you”指的是你感兴趣的爱好。 3．文中提到“A flexible schedule helps you stay organized without pressure... feel free to give it more time”，说明灵活的时间表能让人们更自由地享受爱好。 4．后文举例“把户外和摄影两个爱好结合起来”，建议将爱好融合，因此选项A“Mix hobbies for more fun”（融合爱好以获得更多乐趣）符合语境。 5．文中提到“Perfect is not necessary... hobbies should be enjoyable, not stressful”，说明作者认为在每个爱好上追求完美是不必要的。 CutsCuts are common in daily life, but we need to deal with them correctly to avoid infection(感染). First, wash the cut with clean running water for 5 to 10 minutes to remove dirt. Then, dry it gently with a clean towel. Next, cover the cut with a bandage or clean cloth to keep it clean. If the cut is deep or bleeding heavily, press it with a clean cloth and ask an adult for help or call the emergency number. Remember not to touch the cut with dirty hands. Proper first aid can help the cut heal(痊愈) quickly and keep us safe. BurnsWhen you get burned, it’s important to take first-aid measures immediately to reduce pain and damage. First, put the burned area under running water for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not use ice, as it can hurt the skin more. Cover the burn with a clean, soft cloth. If the burn is large or on the face, hands or feet, ask for medical help at once. Following these steps can protect the burned skin and help it recover. ChokingChoking is dangerous and needs quick help, especially for children. If someone is choking and can’t speak or cough, you should help them at once. Stand behind the person, wrap(缠绕) your arms around their waist(腰部), and make a fist with one hand. Put your fist below their chest and above their stomach, then pull it inward and upward(向内向上) quickly. Repeat this until the object comes out. If the person is a child, be gentle to avoid hurting them. If you can’t help, call the emergency number immediately. 1．Where can you probably read the three passages?

It doesn’t mean you have to eat expensive food, but you need to choose the right food and eat in a proper way. Many people think healthy eating is boring, but that’s not true. You can have a variety of healthy foods. Grains are important for energy—you can eat rice, wheat and corn every day. Vegetables and fruit are rich in vitamins, which help your body work well. Protein is also necessary—you can get it from meat, fish, eggs and beans. It’s important to avoid eating too much sweet or fried food. Sweet food can make you fat and is bad for your teeth. Fried food has too much fat and is bad for your heart. You should also eat regularly—don’t skip meals, especially breakfast. Breakfast gives you energy for the whole day. Drinking plenty of water is another key to healthy eating. Water helps your body digest food and keep you hydrated. You should drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. Avoid drinking too much cola or other sugary drinks, as they are not good for your health. Healthy eating habits are easy to develop. Start with small changes, and you will see a difference soon.

It was his first time living away from home, and he was excited to learn to manage things by himself. One sunny afternoon, we decided to walk to the park. On the way, we saw a cute dog. Leo, who loves animals, immediately went to pet it. Suddenly, the dog became nervous. It barked loudly and bit Leo on the arm before he could move away! “It’s bleeding! What do we do?” Leo cried out in pain, and his face was pale. Seeing his fear got me out of my panic. I took a deep breath, and the first aid and safety lessons from school came back to me. “Stay calm! I know what to do,” I said, trying to sound confident. We found a nearby public restroom. I held Leo’s arm under the running water and washed the wound with soap for five minutes. Next, I used a clean cloth from my bag, pressing it firmly against the wound until the bleeding slowed. Then, I covered it with a bandage. At the hospital, the doctor gave Leo a tetanus shot (破伤风疫苗) and a rabies vaccination (狂犬病疫苗). He praised us, saying, “You did the right thing by cleaning the wound thoroughly.” This accident was a valuable lesson. Safety is important, and we must always think before we act. Knowing first aid is powerful—it turns panic into courage. Now, we both understand that safety must always come first. 1．Why did Leo go to pet the dog? A．Because the dog looked lonely.

We have to deal with a lot of homework every day, take different kinds of exams regularly, and attend various after-school classes. Many students spend most of their time studying hard and even give up their hobbies, completely forgetting to relax. However, relaxation is very beneficial for students’ study and health, and it should never be ignored. First of all, relaxation helps students improve their study efficiency. When students are too stressed, their mind will become unclear, and they can’t focus on their study or remember knowledge well. Taking proper time to relax can make their mind clear and calm, helping them finish their homework faster and learn new knowledge more easily. This is why many top students always know how to balance study and relaxation. Secondly, relaxation is good for students’ physical health. Staying in front of the desk for a long time without any breaks can cause a lot of health problems, such as tiredness, headaches, eye strain and back pain. Taking a short break to do some light exercise, go for a walk or stretch our body can help us relax our muscles and relieve physical fatigue. It can also improve our sleep quality, so we can get enough rest at night and have more energy to study the next day. Besides, relaxation helps students keep a good mood. Students often feel nervous and anxious because of heavy study tasks and important exams. These negative feelings not only affect their study, but also hurt their mental health. Proper relaxation can help them reduce these bad feelings, feel happy and confident, and learn to deal with difficulties bravely. Many students think that relaxation is a waste of time, but in fact, it’s a smart way to help them study better and stay healthy. Students can find many simple ways to relax in their daily life, such as listening to soft music while doing homework, playing sports with friends after school, talking to parents or teachers when feeling stressed, or spending a little time enjoying nature on weekends. Balancing study and relaxation is the key to a happy and healthy school life, and it can help us grow better and achieve more in the future. 1．Why is relaxation important for students? A．It slows homework speed B．It improves study efficiency C．It increases stress D．It makes them forget homework 2．What problem does staying at the desk long cause? A．Headache B．Fever C．Cold D．Toothache 3．The underlined word “negative” (in Paragraph 4) probably means ______. A．good and positive B．bad and unpleasant C．happy and excited D．calm and peaceful 4．We can infer that ______. A．students should study all day B．relaxation is a waste of time C．students can relax by listening to music D．relaxation can’t build confidence 5．What is the best title? A．How to Study Better B．Benefits of Relaxation for Students C．Ways to Relax D．Importance of Study 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】文章主要讲了放松对学生在提高学习效率、有益身体健康、保持好心情等方面的好处。 1．根据第二段“First of all, relaxation helps students improve their study efficiency.”可知，放松对学生重要是因为它能提高学习效率。 2．由第三段“Staying in front of the desk for a long time without any breaks can cause a lot of health problems, such as tiredness, headaches, eye strain and back pain.”可知，长时间坐在桌前会导致诸如疲倦、头痛、眼疲劳和背痛等健康问题。 3．根据第四段“Students often feel nervous and anxious because of heavy study tasks and important exams.”可知，学生因繁重学习任务和重要考试感到紧张焦虑，这些是负面感觉，所以negative意思是“坏的和不愉快的”。 4．从最后一段“Students can find many simple ways to relax in their daily life, such as listening to soft music while doing homework...”可知学生可以在日常生活中找到很多简单的放松方式，比如做作业时听轻柔音乐，所以C选项“学生可以通过听音乐放松”正确。 5．文章主要讲了放松对学生在提高学习效率、有益身体健康、保持好心情等方面的好处，B选项“放松对学生的好处”符合文章主旨。 2 立足新教材，自学有章法，练习有重点！ 1 立足新教材，自学有章法，练习有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
