【解析】
【详解】句意:——实际上,这个问题很容易解决。只是需要时间而已。——是。我们这周会抽出时间来解决它。

【答案】B
【解析】

get down to为固定短语,意为“开始认真做某事”,其中to为介词,后应接名词或动名词形式,drawing符合语法规则及语境。
3. Many countries ________ Chinese courses in their schools.
A. set up B. set off C. set down
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:许多国家在他们的学校里开设了中文课程。
set up建立、开设、设立;set off出发、动身;set down 写下、记下,用于记录信息。结合“Many countries…Chinese courses in their schools.”的句意可知,此处表示“开设中文课程”,应填set up。
4. Please ________ your pronunciation when you give a speech.
A. listen to B. look at C. pay attention to
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:当你发表演讲时,请注意你的发音。
listen to听;look at看;pay attention to注意。根据语境可知,演讲时需要关注发音情况。listen to侧重听,look at侧重看,pay attention to侧重注意。结合句意,应该注意发音。所以选C。
5. In general, babies are ________ to walk at around 12 months.
A. fast B. able C. serious
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:一般来说,婴儿在大约12个月时能够走路。
fast快的;able能够的;serious严肃的。根据语境,此处表示婴儿具备走路的能力,be able to为固定短语,意为“能够做某事”,able符合语境。
6. ________ to learning and never give up, then you will succeed one day.
A. Stop B. Prepare C. Stick

7. I left my dictionary at home so I have to ________ one from Tom.
A. copy B. borrow C. lend
【答案】B
【解析】

A. when B. while C. before
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:昨晚电话响的时候我正在做作业。
when当……的时候;while当……的时候;before在……之前。主句是过去进行时,从句一般过去时,所以此处表示一个动作正在进行时另一个短暂性动作(rang)突然发生,应用when引导此时间状语从句。while引导时间状语从句时,从句只能接延续性动作(一般用进行时态),不能接瞬间的短暂动作,故排除。
9. ________ you have problems, just let me know. I'll always be there for you.
A. However B. Whatever C. Whenever
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:无论你什么时候有问题尽管来找我。我会永远在你身边。

【16题详解】

A
At my school, we have a special “Star System” to help us see how we are doing in our studies. It is not just about test scores. Teachers give us stars in three different areas: “Knowledge”, “Effort”, and “Cooperation”.
First, the “Knowledge Star”. We can get this star when we do well on tests, finish our homework correctly, or answer questions right in class. It shows we understand what we have learned.
Next is the “Effort Star”. This is a very important star. We get it for trying hard, even if we don’t get the best score. For example, if we correct our mistakes carefully, or if we finish a very difficult project, the teacher will give us an Effort Star. It tells us that trying our best is always good.
The last one is the “Cooperation Star”. We get this star when we work well with others. In group work, if we listen to our classmates’ ideas, share our own ideas nicely, and help our team finish the task, we can get this star. It teaches us that learning together is fun and helpful.
Every month, our teacher puts a chart on the classroom wall. It shows how many stars each student gets. The chart is not to make us compete with each other, but to help us see our own progress. We can see which area we are good at and which area we need to work on. My friend Tom got many Effort Stars last month because he practiced English every day. I got more Cooperation Stars because I often helped my classmates with math problems.
I like this Star System. It makes me want to do better not just in tests, but in all parts of being a good student. It helps me learn in a more complete way.
26. How many areas does the Star System have?
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. One
27. How can a student get an “Effort Star”?
A. By trying hard.
B. By finishing homework very quickly.
C. By getting the highest score on a test.
D. By always working alone on projects.
28. What is the main purpose of the monthly star chart on the wall?
A. To let students compete and see who is the best.
B. To show only the test scores of all students.
C. To help students see their own progress.
D. To decide which student gets a prize.
29. Why did the writer get more Cooperation Stars?
A. Because he got the best scores in math tests.
B. Because he practiced English every day.
C. Because he often helped his classmates with math problems.
D. Because he always finished his homework first.
30. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The Star System is only about getting high test scores.
B. The Star System makes students compete in a bad way.
C. The Star System is too difficult for most students to understand.
D. The Star System helps students see their progress in different important areas of learning.

Long ago in China, there lived a very wise man named Confucius. He was born more than 2,500 years ago. People remember him not as a king or a general, but as a great teacher and thinker. His ideas have influenced China and many other parts of the world for a very long time.
Confucius believed that learning and being a good person were the most important things in life. He said everyone should try to be better. One of his most famous ideas is “Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself.” This means we should be kind and fair to other people, just as we want them to be kind and fair to us.
He had many students. He did not just teach them facts from books. He taught them how to live a good life, how to be honest, and how to respect their parents and teachers. He said that a good leader should be a good person first, and then people would follow him willingly. His way of teaching was special. He asked questions and let his students think and find the answers themselves. This method encouraged deep thinking.
Confucius’s students later wrote down his teachings in a book called The Analects (Lunyu). This book is like a collection of his words and conversations with his students. For many centuries, it was the most important book for students in China. His thoughts about family, society, and government helped to shape Chinese culture and values.
Today, people all over the world still study his ideas. They are not just old words; they are about how to live wisely and peacefully with others. Confucius’s legacy is not in buildings or money, but in these valuable ideas that continue to teach us.
31. What was Confucius mainly known as?
A. A great teacher and thinker. B. A famous general.
C. A great king. D. A rich businessman.
32. What is one of Confucius’s most famous ideas mentioned in the passage?
A. Life is short, so enjoy it.
B. Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself.
C. Knowledge comes only from books.
D. The strong should rule the weak.
33. How did Confucius teach his students according to the passage?
A. He only made them read one book.
B He asked questions and let them think to find answers.
C. He gave very long lectures and students just listened.
D. He only taught them how to get high scores in tests.
34. The underlined word “legacy” in the last paragraph most probably means ________.
A. the money a person leaves when they die
B. the buildings a person built
C. something important that a person from the past has given to people today
D. the family of a person
35. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Confucius was a poor man who lived a hard life.
B. Confucius’s book The Analects is very difficult to read.
C. Confucius’s ideas are only popular in China now.
D. Confucius was an important teacher whose ideas about life and learning are still important today.
【答案】31. A 32. B 33. B 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了中国古代伟大的思想家和教育家孔子的生平及其教育理念。文章从孔子的身份地位、核心思想、教学方法以及其对后世深远的文化影响力等方面展开了详细叙述。
【31题详解】
第一段指出:“People remember him not as a king or a general, but as a great teacher and thinker.”,这直接说明孔子主要是作为伟大的教师和思想家被世人所熟知的。
【32题详解】
第二段明确提到:“One of his most famous ideas is ‘Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself.’”,即“己所不欲,勿施于人”。
【33题详解】
第三段描述了孔子的教学方式:“He asked questions and let his students think and find the answers themselves.”,这说明他通过提问来引导学生自主思考并寻找答案。
【34题详解】
根据最后一段的语境:“Confucius’s legacy is not in buildings or money, but in these valuable ideas that continue to teach us.”。作者将“legacy”与具体的建筑和金钱进行对比,并指出它存在于那些“继续教导我们的宝贵思想”之中,由此可以推断legacy指的是前人留给后世的重要精神财富。
【35题详解】
文章从孔子的身份出发,详细阐述了其核心思想内容、教育方法及其著作的影响,最后强调其思想在今天依然具有重要价值,D项“孔子是一位重要的教育家,他关于生活与学习的理念至今仍具有重要意义。”高度概括了全文的中心思想。

Leo felt more and more worried about his English class. Every time he tried to speak, the words just wouldn’t come out. In the last listening test, he couldn’t understand the fast conversations at all. He knew he needed help. Finally, he decided to talk to his English teacher, Mr. Green, after class.
“Mr. Green,” Leo said, his voice quiet. “I think I’m bad at English. I can’t speak well, and the listening is too fast for me. I don’t know what to do.” Mr. Green smiled kindly. “Leo, thank you for telling me this. First, let me tell you something: feeling that something is difficult doesn’t mean you are bad at it. It just means you need a different way to practice.” Mr. Green asked Leo about his study habits. Leo said he usually just did his homework and sometimes remembered new words. “Well, that’s a good start,” Mr. Green said. “But language is for using, not just remembering. It’s like learning to swim. You can’t learn it only from a book; you must get into the water.”
Mr. Green gave Leo two pieces of advice. “First, for listening, don’t start with things that are too hard. Find some simple, slow English stories or songs online. Listen to them for 15 minutes every day. Don’t worry if you don’t understand every word at first. Just try to catch the main idea.” “Second, for speaking, practice talking to yourself! Describe what you are doing in English. For example, say I am opening the door or I am eating an apple. It might feel funny, but it helps your brain think in English. And in class, just try to say one sentence. One sentence is a great start.”
Leo felt a little better. He followed Mr. Green’s advice. He listened to simple English songs every evening. He even started talking to his dog in English! A few weeks later, in an English class, when the teacher asked a question, Leo slowly raised his hand and gave a short answer. It was not perfect, but it was a start. Mr. Green smiled and said, “Well done, Leo!”
Leo learned that asking for help is the first smart step to solving a problem
36 Why did Leo go to talk to Mr. Green?
A. Because he felt worried about his English speaking and listening.
B. Because he got a very high score and wanted to thank the teacher.
C. Because he had a problem with a classmate.
D. Because he wanted to join the English club.
37. What did Mr. Green compare learning a language to?
A. Learning to ride a bike. B. Learning to swim.
C. Learning to cook. D. Learning to paint.

A. Read more English grammar books.
B. Listen to very fast English news every day.
C. Ask a classmate to read English slowly for him.
D. Listen to simple, slow English materials.
39. How did Mr. Green suggest that Leo improve his speaking?
A. By giving long speeches in front of a mirror.
B By remembering all the new words in the dictionary.
C. By practicing talking to himself.
D. By only speaking with his best friend.
40. What happened a few weeks after Leo followed the advice?

C. He won an English speaking competition.
D. He decided to stop learning English.

English is a global language, but it is not exactly the same everywhere. Two of the most common types are British English and American English. While people from the UK and the USA can understand each other, there are some interesting differences in words, spelling, and even pronunciation.
Vocabulary
Sometimes, British and American people use different words for the same thing. For example, in British English, they go on “holiday”, but in American English, they go on “vacation”. In Britain, you watch a “film”, but in America, you watch a “movie”. If you are in London and want to buy some “biscuits”, you would ask for “cookies” in New York. A British child might play “football”, while an American child plays “soccer”.
Spelling
There are also some small differences in spelling. British English often keeps the older French-style spellings. For instance, British people write “colour”, “favourite”, and “centre”. Americans usually write “color”, “favorite”, and “center”. Another common one: the British spell it “travelling”, while the Americans spell it “traveling”.
Pronunciation
The pronunciation can sound a little different, too. The most famous example is the word “tomato”. A British person might say “/tə'mɑːtəʊ/”, with a long “ah” sound, while an American might say “/tə'mertəʊ/”, with an “ay” sound. The “r” sound at the end of words is also stronger in American English. For example, in the word “car”, an American will pronounce the “r” sound more clearly.
These differences are mostly small. The grammar is almost the same, and the basic rules of the language are unchanged. The differences are like different accents or favorite foods in two parts of the same big family. Knowing about them can make learning English more fun and help you understand people from different places better.
41. What is the main topic of this passage?
A. The history of the English language.
B. The differences between British and American English.
C. How to learn both British English and American English well.
D. Popular English movies and music.
42. According to the passage, if you are in London, what do you call the sweet, crisp (脆的) food you eat for dessert?
A. Biscuit. B. Cookie. C. Cake. D. Candy.
43. Which of the following is the American English spelling?
A. Colour. B. Centre. C. Favourite. D. Color.
44. Which of the following diagrams best shows the structure of the passage?
(① stands for Paragraph 1, ② for Paragraph 2, and so on.)
A. ① → ② → ③ → ④ → ⑤
B. ①②③ → ④⑤
C. ①②③④ → ⑤
D. ① → ②③④ → ⑤
45. Why does the author mention the word “tomato” ?
A. To show that British and American food is different.
B. To give an example of a spelling difference.
C. To give an example of a pronunciation difference.
D. To tell a story about buying vegetables.
【答案】41. B 42. A 43. D 44. D 45. C
【解析】

根据第三段“British people write ‘colour’, ‘favourite’, and ‘centre’. Americans usually write ‘color’, ‘favorite’, and ‘center’.” 可知,color是美式拼写,colour、centre、favourite是英式拼写。
【44题详解】
第 1 段:总起,点明英式英语和美式英语存在差异,引出下文。第 2 段:分述词汇差异。第 3 段:分述拼写差异。第 4 段:分述发音差异。第 5 段:总结,说明差异的本质和学习意义。结构为“总→分→总”

Good Habits for Better Learning
Having good study habits is very important for students. Good habits can help you learn better, remember more, and feel less worried about tests. Here are some useful habits that can make your study time more helpful and easier.
Plan Your Time
First, it is good to make a study plan. ____46____. A clear plan helps you know what to do and when to do it. It also makes sure you have time for fun and rest. For example, you can decide to finish your math homework before dinner and read an English book for half an hour after dinner.
Find a Quiet Place
A good study place is also important. ____47____. It should be clean and not too hot or cold. When everything is ready, it is easier for you to focus. You will not need to stop to look for a pen or a book.
Review Often
Don’t just study before a test. ____48____. For example, you can spend 10 minutes every evening going over what you learned that day. This way, you won’t forget things quickly, and it will be much easier when you need to study for a big test.
Ask Questions
When you don’t understand something, don’t be afraid. ____49____. You can ask your teacher or talk about it with your classmates. Asking questions helps you understand things more deeply, and it shows that you are thinking.
Take Breaks
Our brains cannot work well for a very long time without a rest. ____50____. For example, after studying for 30 or 40 minutes, you can stand up, walk around, or drink some water. A short break helps your brain get ready to learn more.
By following these good habits, you can become a better and happier learner. Good habits are like helpful friends on your study journey. They make learning smoother and more fun.
A. It is much better to review your lessons a little every day.
B. Always ask questions to make things clear.
C. This means you should take short breaks when you study.
D. This place should be quiet and have good light.
E. In your plan, you write down what you will do and for how long.
【答案】46. E 47. D 48. A 49. B 50. C
【解析】
【导语】本文围绕“更好学习的好习惯”展开,从制定时间计划、找安静学习地点、日常及时复习、主动提问解惑、学习中适当休息五个方面,介绍了能让学习更高效、更轻松的实用方法。
【46题详解】
前句提出“制定学习计划很好”,后句再讲“清晰的计划能帮你明确时间安排”,E项“In your plan, you write down what you will do and for how long.”解释计划的具体内容,前后形成“提出建议—解释做法—说明好处”的逻辑链,衔接自然。
【47题详解】
前句点出“好的学习地点很重要”,后句继续补充地点的其他要求,D项“This place should be quiet and have good light.”具体说明学习地点的标准,层层递进描述优质学习环境的特点。
【48题详解】
前句否定“只在考前学习”的做法,后句用例子支撑该做法,A项“It is much better to review your lessons a little every day.”提出正确的复习方式,符合“否定错误做法—提出正确方法—举例加说好处”的表达逻辑。
【49题详解】
前句说“不懂的内容别害怕”,B项“Always ask questions to make things clear.”给出具体做法,前后衔接紧密,紧扣“提问”的核心话题。
【50题详解】
前句指出“大脑长时间不休息就无法高效工作”,后句用具体例子说明休息的方式,C项“This means you should take short breaks when you study.”得出结论,逻辑连贯,贴合“休息”的段落主题。
V.情景交际(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)
根据情景提示,用得体的英语完成下列各题。
51. A: _____________ on my English learning?
B: Sure. You should do more reading after class.
【答案】Could you give me some advice
【解析】
【详解】答句“You should do more reading after class”给出了具体的建议。因此,问句应该是礼貌地寻求建议,故Could you give me some advice符合语境。
52. A: How about keeping a diary in English?
B: _____________.
【答案】Sounds great
【解析】
【详解】上文“How about ...?”是提出建议的句型,此处应是回应建议,表达赞同,故Sounds great符合语境。
53. A: _____________ the problems at school?
B: I usually ask Mr. Wang for help.
【答案】How do you solve
【解析】
【详解】根据“I usually ask Mr. Wang for help.”可知,问句应是询问“你在学校是如何解决问题的?”。“如何”用疑问词How,置于句首引导特殊疑问句。主语是“你”(you),时态为一般现在时,实义动词“解决”前需用助动词do。“解决”对应动词solve。
54. A: _____________?
B: I prefer to pay in cash.
【答案】Which way of payment do you prefer
【解析】
【详解】答句提到“I prefer to pay in cash”,说明问句是询问对方更偏爱哪种支付方式。英语中询问偏好常用句型“Which...do you prefer?”,符合语境。
55. A: _____________?
B: I’d like a cup of coffee.
【答案】What would you like to drink / What would you like for a drink
【解析】
【详解】答句B用 I’d like...表达想要的物品,是典型的点餐、购物等服务场景的回应。因此问句需要对应服务场景的询问。故What would you like to drink或者What would you like for a drink两种问法均符合语境。
VI.看图写话(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)
根据每小题所提供的图画情景和提示词,写出一个与图画情景相符的句子。
56. should _____________
57. often search _____________
58. remind; childhood _____________
59. with; now _____________
60. while _____________
【答案】56. We shouldn’t / should never waste water.
57. He often searches for information online / on the internet / Internet.
58. The photo reminds / reminded her of her childhood.
59. He is paying with his phone now.
60. Jack is reading a book while Lily is watching TV. / Lily was watching TV while Jack was reading a book.
【解析】
【56题详解】
根据图片和提示词 “should” 可知本句应表达为 “我们不应该浪费水” 或 “我们应该节约用水,不浪费水”。本句是主谓结构,主语是We,谓语是should not waste,宾语是water。情态动词should后必须接动词原形,因此waste用原形。故填We shouldn’t / should never waste water.
【57题详解】
根据图片和提示词 “often search” 可知本句应表达为 “他经常在电脑上搜索信息”。本句是主谓宾结构,often是频率副词,是一般现在时的标志。主语是He,谓语是searches,宾语是information,状语是on the computer。search for是固定搭配,意为“搜索”,符合图片中使用电脑的情景。故填He often searches for information online / on the internet / Internet.
【58题详解】
根据图片和提示词 “remind; childhood” 可知本句应表达为“这张照片让她想起了她的童年”。本句是主谓宾结构,主语是The photo,谓语是reminds,宾语是her,宾语补足语是of her childhood。remind sb. of sth.是固定搭配,意为 “使某人想起某事”,符合图片中看旧照片回忆童年的情景。时态为一般现在时或一般过去时,主语The photo是第三人称单数,因此动词remind要变为reminds;或变为reminded。故填The photo reminds / reminded her of her childhood.
【59题详解】
根据图片和提示词 “with; now” 可知本句应表达为 “他现在正在用手机付款”。本句是主谓结构,now是现在进行时的标志,主语是He,谓语是is paying(现在进行时结构),状语是with his mobile phone和now。故填He is paying with his phone now.
【60题详解】
根据图片和提示词 “while” 可知本句应表达为“Jack正在读书,而Lily正在看电视”。本句是由while引导的并列句,while表示对比,意为 “而”,连接两个同时发生的动作,因此两个分句都用进行时态。前一分句:主语Jack,谓语is reading,宾语a book;后一分句:主语Lily,谓语is watching,宾语TV。或前一分句:主语Jack,谓语was reading,宾语a book;后一分句:主语Lily,谓语was watching,宾语TV。故填Jack is reading a book while Lily is watching TV. / Lily was watching TV while Jack was reading a book.
VII.短文填空(共 10 小题;每小题 1 分,满分 10 分)
阅读下面短文,根据语境或所给单词的提示,在每个空格内填入一个恰当的词,要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确,使短文意思完整、行文连贯。

The pound sterling is the currency of the UK. People often call it the pound for short. A pound is worth more than a dollar, so you get ____68____ (few) pounds when you change dollars into pounds.
____69____ (learn) about different currencies is useful, ____70____ (especial) when you travel. It helps you know how much things cost and how to count money correctly.
【答案】61. its
62. gives 63. colorful
64. shopping
65. into 66. If##When
67. sizes 68. fewer
69. Learning
70. especially
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了澳大利亚、印度、英国的货币,以及了解不同货币在旅行中的作用。
【61题详解】
句意:每个国家都有自己的货币。修饰名词“own money”,要用it的形容词性物主代词形式its,表示“它的”。
【62题详解】
句意:每个国家都有自己的货币,并赋予其特殊的名称。and连接两个并列的谓语动词,has是一般现在时的第三人称单数形式,因此give也用第三人称单数形式gives。
【63题详解】
句意:它拥有色彩鲜艳的纸币,上面印有动物图案,比如袋鼠。修饰名词“notes”,要用color的形容词形式colorful,表示“色彩鲜艳的”。
【64题详解】
句意:在澳大利亚购物时,你需要用澳元支付。go shopping是固定短语,意为“去购物”,所以填shopping。
【65题详解】
句意:1卢比等于100派沙,但现在派沙硬币已很少使用了。divide ... into ... 是固定短语,意为“把……分成……”,这里表示一卢比被分成100派萨,故填into。
【66题详解】
句意:当你去印度旅游时,会看到许多不同尺寸的卢比纸币。/如果你去印度旅游,会看到许多大小不同的卢比纸币。“you visit India”是一个条件或时间状语,“如果你/当你访问印度时”,可以用If引导条件状语从句,也可以用When引导时间状语从句,所以填If或When。
【67题详解】
句意:当你去印度旅游时,会看到许多不同尺寸的卢比纸币。/如果你去印度旅游,会看到许多大小不同的卢比纸币。different后接可数名词复数形式,size表示“尺寸;大小”,所以用sizes。
【68题详解】
句意:1英镑的价值超过1美元,因此用美元兑换英镑时,得到的英镑数量会更少。根据前文“A pound is worth more than a dollar”可知,当把美元换成英镑时,得到的英镑数量更少,few的比较级是fewer,所以填fewer。
【69题详解】
句意:了解不同的货币很有用。分析句子结构,“ … (learn) about different currencies”是句子的主语,动词作主语要用动名词形式,所以填Learning。
【70题详解】
句意:了解不同的货币很有用,尤其是在旅行时。了解不同的货币很有用,尤其是在旅行时。修饰整个句子“when you travel”,要用especial的副词形式especially,表示“尤其;特别”。

A
At my school, we have a special “Star System” to help us see how we are doing in our studies. It is not just about test scores. Teachers give us stars in three different areas: “Knowledge”, “Effort”, and “Cooperation”.
First, the “Knowledge Star”. We can get this star when we do well on tests, finish our homework correctly, or answer questions right in class. It shows we understand what we have learned.
Next is the “Effort Star”. This is a very important star. We get it for trying hard, even if we don’t get the best score. For example, if we correct our mistakes carefully, or if we finish a very difficult project, the teacher will give us an Effort Star. It tells us that trying our best is always good.
The last one is the “Cooperation Star”. We get this star when we work well with others. In group work, if we listen to our classmates’ ideas, share our own ideas nicely, and help our team finish the task, we can get this star. It teaches us that learning together is fun and helpful.
Every month, our teacher puts a chart on the classroom wall. It shows how many stars each student gets. The chart is not to make us compete with each other, but to help us see our own progress. We can see which area we are good at and which area we need to work on. My friend Tom got many Effort Stars last month because he practiced English every day. I got more Cooperation Stars because I often helped my classmates with math problems.
I like this Star System. It makes me want to do better not just in tests, but in all parts of being a good student. It helps me learn in a more complete way.
26. How many areas does the Star System have?
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. One
27. How can a student get an “Effort Star”?
A. By trying hard.
B. By finishing homework very quickly.
C. By getting the highest score on a test.
D. By always working alone on projects.
28 What is the main purpose of the monthly star chart on the wall?
A To let students compete and see who is the best.
B. To show only the test scores of all students.
C. To help students see their own progress.
D. To decide which student gets a prize.
29. Why did the writer get more Cooperation Stars?
A. Because he got the best scores in math tests.
B. Because he practiced English every day.
C. Because he often helped his classmates with math problems.
D. Because he always finished his homework first.
30. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The Star System is only about getting high test scores.
B. The Star System makes students compete in a bad way.
C. The Star System is too difficult for most students to understand.
D. The Star System helps students see their progress in different important areas of learning.
B
Long ago in China, there lived a very wise man named Confucius. He was born more than 2,500 years ago. People remember him not as a king or a general, but as a great teacher and thinker. His ideas have influenced China and many other parts of the world for a very long time.
Confucius believed that learning and being a good person were the most important things in life. He said everyone should try to be better. One of his most famous ideas is “Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself.” This means we should be kind and fair to other people, just as we want them to be kind and fair to us.
He had many students. He did not just teach them facts from books. He taught them how to live a good life, how to be honest, and how to respect their parents and teachers. He said that a good leader should be a good person first, and then people would follow him willingly. His way of teaching was special. He asked questions and let his students think and find the answers themselves. This method encouraged deep thinking.
Confucius’s students later wrote down his teachings in a book called The Analects (Lunyu). This book is like a collection of his words and conversations with his students. For many centuries, it was the most important book for students in China. His thoughts about family, society, and government helped to shape Chinese culture and values.
Today, people all over the world still study his ideas. They are not just old words; they are about how to live wisely and peacefully with others. Confucius’s legacy is not in buildings or money, but in these valuable ideas that continue to teach us.
31. What was Confucius mainly known as?
A. A great teacher and thinker. B. A famous general.
C. A great king. D. A rich businessman.
32. What is one of Confucius’s most famous ideas mentioned in the passage?
A. Life is short, so enjoy it.
B. Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself.
C. Knowledge comes only from books.
D. The strong should rule the weak.
33. How did Confucius teach his students according to the passage?
A. He only made them read one book.
B. He asked questions and let them think to find answers.
C. He gave very long lectures and students just listened.
D. He only taught them how to get high scores in tests.
34. The underlined word “legacy” in the last paragraph most probably means ________.
A. the money a person leaves when they die
B. the buildings a person built
C. something important that a person from the past has given to people today
D. the family of a person
35. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Confucius was a poor man who lived a hard life.
B. Confucius’s book The Analects is very difficult to read.
C. Confucius’s ideas are only popular in China now.
D. Confucius was an important teacher whose ideas about life and learning are still important today.

Leo felt more and more worried about his English class. Every time he tried to speak, the words just wouldn’t come out. In the last listening test, he couldn’t understand the fast conversations at all. He knew he needed help. Finally, he decided to talk to his English teacher, Mr. Green, after class.
“Mr. Green,” Leo said, his voice quiet. “I think I’m bad at English. I can’t speak well, and the listening is too fast for me. I don’t know what to do.” Mr. Green smiled kindly. “Leo, thank you for telling me this. First, let me tell you something: feeling that something is difficult doesn’t mean you are bad at it. It just means you need a different way to practice.” Mr. Green asked Leo about his study habits. Leo said he usually just did his homework and sometimes remembered new words. “Well, that’s a good start,” Mr. Green said. “But language is for using, not just remembering. It’s like learning to swim. You can’t learn it only from a book; you must get into the water.”
Mr. Green gave Leo two pieces of advice. “First, for listening, don’t start with things that are too hard. Find some simple, slow English stories or songs online. Listen to them for 15 minutes every day. Don’t worry if you don’t understand every word at first. Just try to catch the main idea.” “Second, for speaking, practice talking to yourself! Describe what you are doing in English. For example, say I am opening the door or I am eating an apple. It might feel funny, but it helps your brain think in English. And in class, just try to say one sentence. One sentence is a great start.”

English is a global language, but it is not exactly the same everywhere. Two of the most common types are British English and American English. While people from the UK and the USA can understand each other, there are some interesting differences in words, spelling, and even pronunciation.
Vocabulary
Sometimes, British and American people use different words for the same thing. For example, in British English, they go on “holiday”, but in American English, they go on “vacation”. In Britain, you watch a “film”, but in America, you watch a “movie”. If you are in London and want to buy some “biscuits”, you would ask for “cookies” in New York. A British child might play “football”, while an American child plays “soccer”.
Spelling
There are also some small differences in spelling. British English often keeps the older French-style spellings. For instance, British people write “colour”, “favourite”, and “centre”. Americans usually write “color”, “favorite”, and “center”. Another common one: the British spell it “travelling”, while the Americans spell it “traveling”.
Pronunciation
The pronunciation can sound a little different, too. The most famous example is the word “tomato”. A British person might say “/tə'mɑːtəʊ/”, with a long “ah” sound, while an American might say “/tə'mertəʊ/”, with an “ay” sound. The “r” sound at the end of words is also stronger in American English. For example, in the word “car”, an American will pronounce the “r” sound more clearly.
These differences are mostly small. The grammar is almost the same, and the basic rules of the language are unchanged. The differences are like different accents or favorite foods in two parts of the same big family. Knowing about them can make learning English more fun and help you understand people from different places better.
41. What is the main topic of this passage?
A. The history of the English language.
B. The differences between British and American English.
C. How to learn both British English and American English well.

A. Biscuit. B. Cookie. C. Cake. D. Candy.

A. Colour. B. Centre. C. Favourite. D. Color.
