Children now usually sit all day and spend their time in front of the screens. That’s not good for their health and growth. They should play more sports because sports are fun and they are really important for children. Firstly, playing sports helps children keep healthy. Many children today don’t get enough exercise. This is one of the reasons why they are becoming too heavy. Sports are a great way to get kids moving. If a kid likes soccer and takes part in soccer games just twice a week, he or she will be much stronger than those who never exercise at all.
Another benefit of playing sports is helping kids accept failure (失败). Of course it is important to win a game, but if children lose a game, can they learn anything? So it’s also important for children to accept the failure. They will understand that they are not born winners, and then they can move on and go farther. Playing a team sport also teaches children how to work together. Knowing how to work as a team is good for kids’ whole life. Team sports such as football and basketball help improve this skill (技能). Children can learn how to solve problems, and how to work together to make a common goal (目标) come true.
In short, sports are one of the key things for children to keep healthy both in body and in mind. Children must play more sports. It’s time to turn off the TV or computer, put down the cell phone and get them moving!

Doing sports has many advantages for young people. For one thing, they teach them how to communicate (沟通) and work as a team. For example, football is teamwork.

Sports help young people keep away from problems. If a young person plays sports, he or she might not have so many problems. This is because sports teach young people about rules. They also know that if they work hard, they might win.
Sports make young people go out of their houses. These days, a lot of students spend too much time watching TV and playing games on a mobile phone. When they play sports, they go outside and exercise in the sun. They take in fresh air. All of these things are important for their health.

When you make rules, it’s good for you to let your children join in. When you talk about rules with them, they are more likely (更可能) to obey them. Then, what are good family rules like?
First, you should tell your children what to do, not what not to do. For example, “Go to bed before 9:30 p.m.! ”is good. “Don’t go to bed late!” isn’t.
Second, rules should be clear for children to follow. For example, “Eat an egg every morning!” is good. “It’s important to eat well!” isn’t.
Also, it’s good for you to write down the rules to help children remember them. For little children, you can draw pictures to help them understand the rules.

It is old enough to find food by itself to live on. It will find a place to establish its home, and then live there by itself.
However, koalas are in great danger now. People are cutting down forests, and they sometimes get hurt when cars hit them. Scientists planted over 400,000 trees to help them. They want to plant 500,000 trees by the end of 2025. We should try our best to do everything we can to protect koalas, too.

Passage 4
Children now usually sit all day and spend their time in front of the screens. That’s not good for their health and growth. They should play more sports because sports are fun and they are really important for children. Firstly, playing sports helps children keep healthy. Many children today don’t get enough exercise. This is one of the reasons why they are becoming too heavy. Sports are a great way to get kids moving. If a kid likes soccer and takes part in soccer games just twice a week, he or she will be much stronger than those who never exercise at all.
Another benefit of playing sports is helping kids accept failure (失败). Of course it is important to win a game, but if children lose a game, can they learn anything? So it’s also important for children to accept the failure. They will understand that they are not born winners, and then they can move on and go farther. Playing a team sport also teaches children how to work together. Knowing how to work as a team is good for kids’ whole life. Team sports such as football and basketball help improve this skill (技能). Children can learn how to solve problems, and how to work together to make a common goal (目标) come true.
In short, sports are one of the key things for children to keep healthy both in body and in mind. Children must play more sports. It’s time to turn off the TV or computer, put down the cell phone and get them moving!

A.Because they like to eat junk food. B.Because they get too little exercise.

Passage 10

After watching the show, she became more interested in dolphins and wanted to know about the animals, so she looked up more information about dolphins on the Internet.Communication (交流)

Dolphins live in groups, and they often join others from different groups to play games and have fun, just like people. Scientists believe only smart animals can play together.Teamwork

Passage 11
Koalas (考拉) are very different animals. Let’s learn about them.
Koalas look like bears but they are not bears. They have small eyes, a large nose, and round ears. They look very cute and lovely. They can run as fast as rabbits.
Koalas feed on tree leaves. They usually sleep for about 20 hours a day. The word “koala” comes from an Australian word. It means “no drink”. △ They get water from the food they eat.
Koalas have pouches (育儿袋) for carrying their young children. When a baby koala is born, it finds its way to its mother’s pouch and stays there for about 6 months. By about 7 months, the baby koala seldom gets into the pouch and spends more time staying on its mother’s back. When the baby koala is one year old, it leaves its mother. It is old enough to find food by itself to live on. It will find a place to establish its home, and then live there by itself.
However, koalas are in great danger now. People are cutting down forests, and they sometimes get hurt when cars hit them. Scientists planted over 400,000 trees to help them. They want to plant 500,000 trees by the end of 2025. We should try our best to do everything we can to protect koalas, too.
1. Which of the following can be put in “ △ ” in Paragraph 3?
A.Or they will feel thirsty. B.So they never drink milk.
C.But they need water. D.And they love eating leaves.
2. How long does a baby koala usually stay inside its mother’s pouch?
A.For about 7 months. B.For about half a year.
C.Until it is one year old. D.Until it can find its home.
3. What does the underlined word “establish” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Move. B.Build. C.Leave. D.Protect.
4. Why are koalas in great danger now?
A.Because their forest homes are going away. B.Because they don’t have enough food to eat.
C.Because other animals hit them. D.Because they sleep too much.
5. What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Sleeping Habits of Koalas. B.Baby Koalas and their mothers’ pouches.
C.The life of Koalas and How to help them. D.Why Scientists Are Planting Trees.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B 4. A 5. C
【导语】本文主要介绍了考拉的外形特征、饮食习惯、育儿方式以及它们目前面临的危险和保护措施。
1. 第三段提到“no drink”后,紧接着说“They get water from the food they eat”,说明考拉需要水,只是从食物中获取,所以“But they need water”可以填入文中△处,解释“no drink”并非真的不需要水。
2. 第四段明确指出“When a baby koala is born, it finds its way to its mother’s pouch and stays there for about 6 months”,6个月即半年,说明小考拉通常在妈妈的育儿袋里待大约半年。
3. 第四段最后一句提到:“It will find a place to establish its home”,结合上下文,幼崽离开母亲后需要找一个地方“建立”自己的家,因此establish意为“建立”,与build意思相符。
4. 最后一段指出:“Koalas are in great danger now. People are cutting down forests, and they sometimes get hurt when cars hit them”,说明考拉面临危险的主要原因是森林被砍伐,它们的栖息地正在消失。
5. 文章不仅介绍了考拉的生活习性,还提到了考拉面临的危险以及人们为保护考拉所采取的措施,所以“The life of Koalas and How to help them”作为标题最合适。
Passage 12

1. 词义猜测题。根据下文“and the students don’t understand (理解) why they cannot wear warm clothes in school” 学生们不明白为什么不能穿暖和的衣服上学。可知上文是说“在冬天很冷”,划线单词freezing的意思是“极冷的”。故选B。
2. 推理判断题。根据“One student said if he wanted to sleep on Saturday morning, he must get up to make his bed before 9 o’clock. Then he went back to sleep on top of the quilt.”可知,如果一个学生想在周六早上睡懒觉,他必须起床,整理好床铺,然后再躺在被子上睡觉。可推出对铺床这件事感到很有意思。选项D符合题意,故选D。
3. 细节理解题。根据“Students in a school in Japan cannot bring food from home”可知,不可以从家里带食物,故选A。
4. 细节理解题。根据文中“Teachers in some parts of the UK and Australia mustn’t grade (打分) their students’ homework with red ink (墨水). Because the schools think red color makes children unhappy when they get their graded homework.”可知,一些学校老师停止使用红墨水,一些学生对此感觉很讨厌。故选C。
