Passage 7
Shanxi is in North China. It’s full of wonderful places. So, are you ready to take an exciting trip to Shanxi with me?
The Yellow River rushes all the way from the far west. With great force, it cuts through the cliffs (峭壁) and comes into Shanxi at Laoniu Bend (老牛湾). Look! Here, the Great Wall stands firmly, like a brave soldier (士兵) keeping watch over this amazing scenery (风景). As it continues its journey, the river winds (蜿蜒) south, clearly marking the border between Shanxi and Shaanxi. Then, it takes a sharp turn east, separating Shanxi from Henan. At Jixian county, the Hukou Waterfall makes a loud noise, with the sound echoing (回响) far and wide. In winter, long, shiny icicles (冰柱) hang from the cliffs like crystal swords. On sunny days, a bright rainbow stretches across the waterfall, connecting Shanxi and Shaanxi.
The Taihang Mountains (太行山) run hundreds of kilometers from north to south, covering Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi, and Henan. These mountains are home to many precious (珍贵的) animals. Look carefully for the hard-to-find North China leopard, the colorful brown-eared pheasant (棕耳雉), and the forest musk deer (林麝). Some cliff faces are like giant, strong rock walls. To get around, people carve (开凿) tunnel-like roads on these cliffs. When you drive on these roads, it feels like an adventure movie! You can even see small mountain streams flowing along the way.
Shanxi lies on the eastern edge of the Loess Plateau (黄土高原). Rolling loess terraces (黄土梯田) seem to go on forever. On the hillsides (山坡), local people dug cave dwellings (窑洞) into the mountains. These caves are like natural shelters. In the winter, they stay very warm. In the summer, they are very cool. People living in these caves lead simple, happy lives, sharing stories and traditions passed down through generations. On festival days, the caves are decorated with red lanterns, filling the air with happiness.

It seems very ridiculous that people living next to each other don’t know each other for such a long time. However, this kind of story is often heard in many cities. With the raising of living standards (水平), many people have moved into modern buildings. They like to stay at home, enjoying the modern life in their houses. They seldom go out after they get home from work. They have little contact (联系) with their neighbours and don’t care about what is happening in the neighbourhood.
Our life is getting better and better, but the relationship (关系) between neighbours is not as close as before. Good relationship of neighbours is important to people. People need trust, understanding and help all the time. Now, we should do something to make a change. People living in the same neighborhood should be organized to have some social activities so that they can have a better understanding of each other.

Passage 9
In modern neighbourhoods, technology (科技) is making life easier for residents (居民). Many communities in Nanjing have started using smart services (服务) to help people, especially the elderly and children.
One popular service is the “Smart Help Button”. It’s a small tool that can be fixed on the wall of old people’s flats. If an elderly person feels unwell or needs help, they can press the button (按按钮). The community centre will get a call at once, and volunteers will come to help within 5 minutes. “My son works in another city,” says Grandma Liu. “With this button, I feel safer at home.”
Another smart service is the “Community App”. Residents can use it to report problems, such as broken street lights or dirty roads. They can also ask for help like home cleaning or getting food through the app. Last month, Mr. Chen reported a broken bench in the park through the app. The next day, workers came to repair it. “It’s much more convenient (方便的) than making a phone call,” he says.
There’s also a “Smart Library” in some communities. Residents can borrow books by scanning a QR code (扫描二维码) with their phones. They don’t need to go to the library desk—everything is automatic (自动的). Kids love it because they can borrow picture books quickly after school. The library is open every day from 8 am to 8 pm. There’s no need to fill in any forms—just scan and go!
Smart services are changing neighbourhoods. They make communities more convenient and safe. But technology doesn’t replace (取代) human kindness. Volunteers still visit the elderly, help kids with homework, and organize community activities. Technology and kindness together make a neighbourhood a better place to live.
1. From Grandma Liu’s words, we can infer (推断)that ______.
A.Grandma Liu once worried about what to do if she needed help

C.Living in a modern neighbourhood. D.Making a phone call to the community centre.
3. What do we know about the “Smart Library”?
A.Residents need to fill in forms to borrow books. B.It’s only for kids to borrow picture books.
C.Books can be borrowed by scanning a QR code. D.It’s open only on weekends.
4. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To introduce another new smart service in the neighbourhood.
B.To explain why technology is more important than human kindness.
C.To show that human kindness is still important even with smart services.
D.To give examples of how volunteers help the elderly.
Passage 10
The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. It falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year.

Passage 11
Can you imagine living in a house that moves up and down all the time? A place where you fall asleep each night to the sound of water lapping against the side? A house where you live and keep everything you own in just one small room? Well, that’s what living in a houseboat is like.
Houseboats are real boats. People just choose to live in them. These people call themselves “liveaboards”. Most houseboats are about 50 feet long and 20 feet wide. But inside are beds, closets, a tiny kitchen, a bathroom and other things you need for your daily life. Space can be very small but people live a happy life.
So why would people want to live in a boat? For one thing, it can be a lot of fun. Liveaboards can stop to explore or decide to keep going. They can meet other liveaboards and share their adventures during the trip. They can also fish for dinner in the boat!
But living in a houseboat can be hard too. During a storm, it can be very wobbly (the boat moves from side to side). Liveaboards have to be able to get along with each other because there’s not much space for liveaboards to be alone in a houseboat.

Passage 12
Volunteering is a great way to make the world better, and helping in museums is especially meaningful. Museum volunteers take on different duties according to their skills or interests. In the visitor information centre, they sell tickets, keep luggage (行李) and answer questions. For guided tours, they share exhibitions and help visitors appreciate. When museum events are held, they help in workshops, talk to visitors, and document (记载) exhibits and events.
China has several fantastic museums. The Palace Museum was built in 1925. With wonderful buildings and art treasures inside, it is well-known to people all around the world. The China Science and Technology Museum which opened in 1988, improves public understanding of science through exhibitions (展览) and programmes. The Nantong Museum, set up in 1905, is the first public museum. It is still open to the public for free. The National Art Museum of China is China’s largest art museum opened in 1963. It houses over 130,000 artworks.
Museum volunteering is good for both volunteers and the community. For example, Wenwei, a history teacher, loves giving tours and sharing stories, while Niuchen turns her interest into a job. Siyue, an 18-year-old student, learns a lot and makes her IT skills better.
Children can also help through projects like the “Little Volunteer Programme” at the China Science and Technology Museum. After training and passing a test, young volunteers share their love for science, learn teamwork, and develop social skills. Museum volunteering is truly a win-win activity.

People need trust and understanding all the time. Now, we should do something to make a change. People living in the same neighbourhood should be organized to have some social activities so that they can have a better understanding of each other.

Passage 7
Shanxi is in North China. It’s full of wonderful places. So, are you ready to take an exciting trip to Shanxi with me?
The Yellow River rushes all the way from the far west. With great force, it cuts through the cliffs (峭壁) and comes into Shanxi at Laoniu Bend (老牛湾). Look! Here, the Great Wall stands firmly, like a brave soldier (士兵) keeping watch over this amazing scenery (风景). As it continues its journey, the river winds (蜿蜒) south, clearly marking the border between Shanxi and Shaanxi. Then, it takes a sharp turn east, separating Shanxi from Henan. At Jixian county, the Hukou Waterfall makes a loud noise, with the sound echoing (回响) far and wide. In winter, long, shiny icicles (冰柱) hang from the cliffs like crystal swords. On sunny days, a bright rainbow stretches across the waterfall, connecting Shanxi and Shaanxi.
The Taihang Mountains (太行山) run hundreds of kilometers from north to south, covering Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi, and Henan. These mountains are home to many precious (珍贵的) animals. Look carefully for the hard-to-find North China leopard, the colorful brown-eared pheasant (棕耳雉), and the forest musk deer (林麝). Some cliff faces are like giant, strong rock walls. To get around, people carve (开凿) tunnel-like roads on these cliffs. When you drive on these roads, it feels like an adventure movie! You can even see small mountain streams flowing along the way.
Shanxi lies on the eastern edge of the Loess Plateau (黄土高原). Rolling loess terraces (黄土梯田) seem to go on forever. On the hillsides (山坡), local people dug cave dwellings (窑洞) into the mountains. These caves are like natural shelters. In the winter, they stay very warm. In the summer, they are very cool. People living in these caves lead simple, happy lives, sharing stories and traditions passed down through generations. On festival days, the caves are decorated with red lanterns, filling the air with happiness.

It seems very ridiculous that people living next to each other don’t know each other for such a long time. However, this kind of story is often heard in many cities. With the raising of living standards (水平), many people have moved into modern buildings. They like to stay at home, enjoying the modern life in their houses.

2. 根据第2段中的“ It seems very ridiculous that people living next to each other don’t know each other for such a long time.”可知,“ridiculous” 形容住得很近却长期互不认识的现象,带有讽刺意味,意为“可笑的、荒谬的”。
3. 根据第2段中的“They like to stay at home, enjoying the modern life in their houses. They seldom go out after they get home from work.”可知,人们下班后待在家里,不关心外界。
4. 根据第2段中的“However, this kind of story is often heard in many cities.”可知,这类故事常发生在城市中。
Passage 9
In modern neighbourhoods, technology (科技) is making life easier for residents (居民). Many communities in Nanjing have started using smart services (服务) to help people, especially the elderly and children.
One popular service is the “Smart Help Button”. It’s a small tool that can be fixed on the wall of old people’s flats. If an elderly person feels unwell or needs help, they can press the button (按按钮). The community centre will get a call at once, and volunteers will come to help within 5 minutes. “My son works in another city,” says Grandma Liu. “With this button, I feel safer at home.”
Another smart service is the “Community App”. Residents can use it to report problems, such as broken street lights or dirty roads. They can also ask for help like home cleaning or getting food through the app. Last month, Mr. Chen reported a broken bench in the park through the app. The next day, workers came to repair it. “It’s much more convenient (方便的) than making a phone call,” he says.
There’s also a “Smart Library” in some communities. Residents can borrow books by scanning a QR code (扫描二维码) with their phones. They don’t need to go to the library desk—everything is automatic (自动的). Kids love it because they can borrow picture books quickly after school. The library is open every day from 8 am to 8 pm. There’s no need to fill in any forms—just scan and go!
Smart services are changing neighbourhoods. They make communities more convenient and safe. But technology doesn’t replace (取代) human kindness. Volunteers still visit the elderly, help kids with homework, and organize community activities. Technology and kindness together make a neighbourhood a better place to live.
1. From Grandma Liu’s words, we can infer (推断)that ______.
A.Grandma Liu once worried about what to do if she needed help
B.Grandma Liu’s son doesn’t care about her
C.Grandma Liu was always in poor health
D.the “Smart Help Button” was a gift from Grandma Liu’s son
2. What does “It” in paragraph 3 refer to (指代)?
A.Repairing the broken bench. B.Using the Community App to report a problem.
C.Living in a modern neighbourhood. D.Making a phone call to the community centre.
3. What do we know about the “Smart Library”?
A.Residents need to fill in forms to borrow books. B.It’s only for kids to borrow picture books.
C.Books can be borrowed by scanning a QR code. D.It’s open only on weekends.
4. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To introduce another new smart service in the neighbourhood.
B.To explain why technology is more important than human kindness.
C.To show that human kindness is still important even with smart services.
D.To give examples of how volunteers help the elderly.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 4. C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了现代社区中科技给居民生活带来的便利,如智能求助按钮、社区应用程序和智能图书馆等,同时强调科技不能取代人类的善良,二者共同让社区成为更好的居住地。
1. 第二段提到“My son works in another city,” says Grandma Liu. “With this button, I feel safer at home.”,刘奶奶儿子在另一个城市工作,有了这个按钮她在家感觉更安全,由此可推断出刘奶奶曾经担心自己需要帮助时该怎么办。
2. 第三段提到“Last month, Mr. Chen reported a broken bench in the park through the app. The next day, workers came to repair it. ‘It’s much more convenient (方便的) than making a phone call,’ he says.”,陈先生通过社区应用程序报告公园长椅损坏问题,第二天工人来修理,他说这比打电话方便,所以“It”指代的是使用社区应用程序报告问题。
3. 第四段提到“Residents can borrow books by scanning a QR code (扫描二维码) with their phones.”,说明居民可以通过扫描二维码借书。
4. 最后一段提到“Smart services are changing neighbourhoods. They make communities more convenient and safe. But technology doesn’t replace (取代) human kindness...Technology and kindness together make a neighbourhood a better place to live.”,智能服务改变社区,让社区更便利安全,但科技不能取代人类的善良,科技和善良共同让社区成为更好的居住地,所以该段主要目的是表明即使有智能服务,人类的善良仍然很重要。

Passage 11
Can you imagine living in a house that moves up and down all the time? A place where you fall asleep each night to the sound of water lapping against the side? A house where you live and keep everything you own in just one small room? Well, that’s what living in a houseboat is like.
Houseboats are real boats. People just choose to live in them. These people call themselves “liveaboards”. Most houseboats are about 50 feet long and 20 feet wide. But inside are beds, closets, a tiny kitchen, a bathroom and other things you need for your daily life. Space can be very small but people live a happy life.
So why would people want to live in a boat? For one thing, it can be a lot of fun. Liveaboards can stop to explore or decide to keep going. They can meet other liveaboards and share their adventures during the trip. They can also fish for dinner in the boat!
But living in a houseboat can be hard too. During a storm, it can be very wobbly (the boat moves from side to side). Liveaboards have to be able to get along with each other because there’s not much space for liveaboards to be alone in a houseboat.

A.the size of most houseboats B.where people live in a houseboat
C.what it is like to live in a houseboat D.what to do in a houseboat during a storm

A.like free life B.look for exciting experiences
C.are afraid of storms D.enjoy seeing new places
4. The article does not tell us ________.
A.how big houseboats are B.how fast a houseboat can go
C.what it’s like to sleep in a houseboat D.what it’s like to live in a houseboat during a storm
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. C 4. B

1. 文章开篇以设问引出船屋生活,接着介绍船屋的实际情况、内部设施,又讲述了住在船屋的乐趣和难处,整体围绕“居住在船屋中是什么样子的”展开。
2. 文章最后一段明确提到:“Liveaboards have to be able to get along with each other because there’s not much space for liveaboards to be alone in a houseboat”,说明船屋居住者需要和睦相处的原因是船屋的空间非常狭小,没有太多独处的空间。
3. 文章最后一段指出:“During a storm, it can be very wobbly (the boat moves from side to side).”,说明暴风雨来临时船会剧烈摇晃,因此害怕暴风雨的人不适合住在船屋中。
4. 文章第二段提到:“Most houseboats are about 50 feet long and 20 feet wide”,介绍了船屋的大小;第一段提到:“fall asleep each night to the sound of water lapping against the side”,描述了在船屋睡觉的感受;最后一段提到:“During a storm, it can be very wobbly”,讲述了暴风雨中船屋的生活状态。整篇文章并未提及船屋的行驶速度。
Passage 12
Volunteering is a great way to make the world better, and helping in museums is especially meaningful. Museum volunteers take on different duties according to their skills or interests. In the visitor information centre, they sell tickets, keep luggage (行李) and answer questions. For guided tours, they share exhibitions and help visitors appreciate. When museum events are held, they help in workshops, talk to visitors, and document (记载) exhibits and events.
China has several fantastic museums. The Palace Museum was built in 1925. With wonderful buildings and art treasures inside, it is well-known to people all around the world. The China Science and Technology Museum which opened in 1988, improves public understanding of science through exhibitions (展览) and programmes. The Nantong Museum, set up in 1905, is the first public museum. It is still open to the public for free. The National Art Museum of China is China’s largest art museum opened in 1963. It houses over 130,000 artworks.
Museum volunteering is good for both volunteers and the community. For example, Wenwei, a history teacher, loves giving tours and sharing stories, while Niuchen turns her interest into a job. Siyue, an 18-year-old student, learns a lot and makes her IT skills better.
Children can also help through projects like the “Little Volunteer Programme” at the China Science and Technology Museum. After training and passing a test, young volunteers share their love for science, learn teamwork, and develop social skills. Museum volunteering is truly a win-win activity.

3. 推理判断题。根据“Museum volunteering is good for both volunteers and the community. For example”可知,以Wenwei、Niuchen和Siyue为例,具体说明志愿活动如何使志愿者自身受益,如技能提升、兴趣发展。故选D。
4. 推理判断题。根据“Museum volunteering is good for both volunteers and the community.”和“After training and passing a test, young volunteers share their love for science, learn teamwork, and develop social skills. Museum volunteering is truly a win-win activity.”可知,志愿者在培训并经过测试后,分享他们对科学的热爱、学习团队合作和发展社交技能,博物馆则在志愿者的服务下获得帮助,这是一种双赢的局面。故选B。
