专题08 阅读回答问题12篇 (24-25六下·上海民办桃李园实验学校·期中) When you think of a classroom, such words as “quiet or clean” may come to your mind. But a modern British high school is noisy and crowded. Most students do not wear uniforms and teachers often wear jeans and T-shirts. Rules in a British classroom are similar to those in Chinese schools. No talking. No eating or drinking. Raise your hand when you want to ask a question. No leaving your seat unless asked to. Dress and act in an orderly manner. Some British teenagers go to fee-paying, or private schools. Discipline is better there, as class sizes are smaller and students generally get more individual attention. But most teenagers go to public schools, where they don’t have to pay fees. Unfortunately, for many teachers, making pupils keep to the rules is hard at a large public school, where classes may have over 30 people. They will be of mixed different backgrounds. Some may not speak English as their first language. Politicians in Britain are trying to change the face of the British classroom. They want stronger school rules and stricter punishments. They want to bring back school uniforms, saying that they help give students an “identity”(身份). Can Britain bring manners back to the classroom? It just might be possible, with the help of a little Harry Potter magic. 1．Do most students in British high schools wear uniforms? 2．How many rules mentioned in the article are similar in both British and Chinese classrooms? 3．Why do students in private British schools usually have better discipline than those in public schools? 4．What changes do British politicians want to make in schools? 5．How does the article suggest Britain might improve classroom manners in a funny way? 6．If you could add one new rule to your classroom, what would it be and why? 【答案】1．No, most do not wear uniforms. 2．Five. 3．Because class sizes are smaller and students get more individual attention. 4．They want stronger rules, stricter punishments, and to bring back school uniforms. 5．With the help of a little Harry Potter magic. 6．I would add a rule that allows short ‘brain breaks’ every 30 minutes, because it helps students stay focused and reduces restlessness. (言之有理即可) 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章对比了现代英国中学与中国课堂的异同，揭示了英国教室嘈杂拥挤、学生多不穿校服的现状，同时指出其基本纪律规范与中国相似，并探讨了英国政界推动校服回归与严格管理的改革动向。 1．根据第一段中“But a modern British high school is noisy and crowded.

Discipline is better there, as class sizes are smaller and students generally get more individual attention. But most teenagers go to public schools, where they don’t have to pay fees.”可知，英国私立学校的学生通常比公立学校的学生纪律好是因为班级规模更小，学生得到更多的个别关注。故填Because class sizes are smaller and students get more individual attention. 4．根据第五段内容“Politicians in Britain are trying to change the face of the British classroom. They want stronger school rules and stricter punishments. They want to bring back school uniforms, saying that they help give students an ‘identity’(身份).”可知，英国的政治家们正试图改变英国课堂的面貌。他们想要更严格的校规和更严厉的惩罚。他们想带回校服，说这有助于给学生一个“身份”。故填They want stronger rules, stricter punishments, and to bring back school uniforms. 5．根据最后一段内容“Can Britain bring manners back to the classroom?

(24-25六下·上海黄浦区（五四制）·期中) Finding the words to say how you feel isn’t always easy. But why is it important? The young people’s mental health charity Place 2 Be has made “My Voice Matters” the theme of this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week. The event took place at schools and online to encourage children to speak up about their feelings. What does it mean to speak up? It means saying your thoughts and feelings and being ready to hear what others think and feel. Speaking up is not about shouting the loudest. In fact, you don’t even have to talk. You can show what you like, don’t like, or what you want by writing or drawing, says Dr. Clements, who works for the charity. “It’s about finding ways to share what’s important to you,” she explains. How can you find your voice? Dr. Clements suggests practicing talking with friends, parents, or people who take care of you. If it’s hard to say how you feel, find a way that’s right for you. You can talk face- to-face or write it down. When you’re ready, “Take a deep breath and believe in yourself,” says Thurston. “Know that your opinion matters.” 1．What is the theme of this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week? 2．Where did the event take place? 3．Speaking up is all about shouting, the loudest, isn’t it? 4．According to Dr. Clements, how can we show what we like, don’t like, or what we want? 5．Who can we practice talking with to find our voice? 6．Do you like talking about your feelings? Why or why not? 【答案】1．My Voice Matters. 2．At schools and online. 3．No, it isn’t. 4．By writing or drawing. 5．Friends, parents, or people who take care of us. 6．Yes, I do.

(根据文章回答问题。) How funny! Before the invention of banknotes and coins, people used shells, goats, tomatoes and some other things for trading. Trading is one of the first ways that people got what they needed. For example, in the past, salt was very important to people. People needed salt to keep food fresh. So people would trade salt for other things they needed. People traded salt for shoes, tools, food and so on. This exchange of goods and services for other goods and services is called barter (易货贸易). Around 9,000 B．C．, people paid for goods with animals like cows, sheep and camels. Some societies used vegetables and plants, too. Then in 1,200 B．C． people in China started using shells as money. Soon many other countries began to do the same. The next development was in 1,000 B．C．, Chinese people made round coins out of metal. The very first coins often had holes in them so that people could pass a piece of string through them to keep them together. By 500 B．C．, metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece, and later in the Roman Empire. A few hundred years later, leather was used as money in China, and in 806 A．D．, the first paper banknotes were produced by Chinese people. It was still many years before paper money appeared in Europe. Three centuries passed before it was used in all European countries. In recent times, money has continued to change. In some places around the world, people seldom use paper money. Instead, they use credit cards or online payment. Answer the questions. 1．How did people get what they needed before banknotes and coins appeared? 2．When did Chinese people start using shells as money? 3．Why did some early coins in China have holes in them? 4．Who produced the first paper banknotes? 5．What’s the main idea of this passage? 【答案】1．They got what they needed through barter, using shells, goats, tomatoes, animals, vegetables and so on. 2．In 1,200 B.C. 3．To pass a string through and keep them together. 4．Chinese people. 5．The development of money from barter to modern payment methods. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了货币从以物易物到现代支付方式的发展历程。 1．根据“Before the invention of banknotes and coins, people used shells, goats, tomatoes and some other things for trading...”和“This exchange of goods and services for other goods and services is called barter”可知，人们通过易货贸易，用贝壳、山羊、西红柿、动物、蔬菜等得到他们需要的东西。故填They got what they needed through barter, using shells, goats, tomatoes, animals, vegetables and so on. 2．根据“Then in 1,200 B.C. people in China started using shells as money.”可知，中国人开始使用贝壳作为货币的时间是公元前1200年。故填In 1,200 B.C. 3．根据“The very first coins often had holes in them so that people could pass a piece of string through them to keep them together.”可知，早期中国硬币上的孔是为了穿绳子以便携带。故填To pass a string through and keep them together. 4．根据“in 806 A.D., the first paper banknotes were produced by Chinese people.”可知，最早的纸币是由中国人发明的。故填Chinese people. 5．通读全文可知，全文从以易货贸易、贝壳货币、金属硬币、纸币到现代支付方式，讲述了货币的演变历史。故填The development of money from barter to modern payment methods.

But a modern British high school is noisy and crowded. Most students do not wear uniforms and teachers often wear jeans and T-shirts. Rules in a British classroom are similar to those in Chinese schools. No talking. No eating or drinking. Raise your hand when you want to ask a question. No leaving your seat unless asked to. Dress and act in an orderly manner. Some British teenagers go to fee-paying, or private schools. Discipline is better there, as class sizes are smaller and students generally get more individual attention. But most teenagers go to public schools, where they don’t have to pay fees. Unfortunately, for many teachers, making pupils keep to the rules is hard at a large public school, where classes may have over 30 people. They will be of mixed different backgrounds. Some may not speak English as their first language. Politicians in Britain are trying to change the face of the British classroom. They want stronger school rules and stricter punishments. They want to bring back school uniforms, saying that they help give students an “identity”(身份). Can Britain bring manners back to the classroom? It just might be possible, with the help of a little Harry Potter magic. 1．Do most students in British high schools wear uniforms? 2．How many rules mentioned in the article are similar in both British and Chinese classrooms? 3．Why do students in private British schools usually have better discipline than those in public schools? 4．What changes do British politicians want to make in schools? 5．How does the article suggest Britain might improve classroom manners in a funny way? 6．If you could add one new rule to your classroom, what would it be and why?

The young people’s mental health charity Place 2 Be has made “My Voice Matters” the theme of this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week. The event took place at schools and online to encourage children to speak up about their feelings. What does it mean to speak up? It means saying your thoughts and feelings and being ready to hear what others think and feel. Speaking up is not about shouting the loudest. In fact, you don’t even have to talk. You can show what you like, don’t like, or what you want by writing or drawing, says Dr. Clements, who works for the charity. “It’s about finding ways to share what’s important to you,” she explains. How can you find your voice? Dr. Clements suggests practicing talking with friends, parents, or people who take care of you. If it’s hard to say how you feel, find a way that’s right for you. You can talk face- to-face or write it down. When you’re ready, “Take a deep breath and believe in yourself,” says Thurston. “Know that your opinion matters.” 1．What is the theme of this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week? 2．Where did the event take place? 3．Speaking up is all about shouting, the loudest, isn’t it? 4．According to Dr. Clements, how can we show what we like, don’t like, or what we want? 5．Who can we practice talking with to find our voice? 6．Do you like talking about your feelings? Why or why not? (24-25六下·上海中学东校·期中) A composer is someone who creates music by writing down musical ideas using special notation (谱号). Others can then read these notes and play the beautiful music that came from the composer’s imagination. Beethoven, one of the most famous composers in history, was born in Germany in 1770. He started piano lessons at age four and later learned to play the violin. When he visited Vienna in 1787, he met Mozart and Haydn, who praised his musical talent.贝多芬擅长演奏钢琴。He also created many musical works. He moved to Vienna forever in 1792 to study with Haydn.

It is a time when families get together and everybody is happy. It is a time when people eat good food, and celebrate what is important. It is also a time for giving gifts. During Christmas, everyone goes shopping to buy the right gift for a family member, or a friend. Then they put the gifts under the Christmas tree. Most people have to wait till Christmas morning before they can open the gifts. In the weeks before Christmas, the shops are full of wonderful things that children and adults want. During this period, children often ask their parents for a pet, so pet shops are very popular. Pets look cute, and some pets are not too expensive to buy—it is too easy to buy one quickly. But before you buy a pet, you should ask yourself some important questions, such as “How long will I love this pet?” “Do I have enough time to care for it?” “Will the pet be happy in my family?” It is sad but true, that not long after Christmas, many pets are abandoned (被抛弃) because the family think the pets are not interesting any more, or they don’t have enough time or money to care for the pets. So, in the UK at Christmas time, you can see many signs in pet shops: A pet is for life, not just for Christmas. Think before you buy one! 1．Christmas isn’t important to Westerners, is it? 2．Why does everyone go shopping during Christmas? 3．Where do people usually put the gifts at Christmas? 4．What kind of shop is very popular for children at Christmas time? 5．What do many signs in pet shops say in the UK at Christmas time?

Before the invention of banknotes and coins, people used shells, goats, tomatoes and some other things for trading. Trading is one of the first ways that people got what they needed. For example, in the past, salt was very important to people. People needed salt to keep food fresh. So people would trade salt for other things they needed. People traded salt for shoes, tools, food and so on. This exchange of goods and services for other goods and services is called barter (易货贸易). Around 9,000 B．C．, people paid for goods with animals like cows, sheep and camels. Some societies used vegetables and plants, too. Then in 1,200 B．C． people in China started using shells as money. Soon many other countries began to do the same. The next development was in 1,000 B．C．, Chinese people made round coins out of metal. The very first coins often had holes in them so that people could pass a piece of string through them to keep them together. By 500 B．C．, metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece, and later in the Roman Empire. A few hundred years later, leather was used as money in China, and in 806 A．D．, the first paper banknotes were produced by Chinese people. It was still many years before paper money appeared in Europe. Three centuries passed before it was used in all European countries. In recent times, money has continued to change. In some places around the world, people seldom use paper money. Instead, they use credit cards or online payment. Answer the questions. 1．How did people get what they needed before banknotes and coins appeared? 2．When did Chinese people start using shells as money? 3．Why did some early coins in China have holes in them? 4．Who produced the first paper banknotes? 5．What’s the main idea of this passage?
