Unit 9 From Here to There
Passage 1
Smart Shopping Habits
Everyone wants to be a smart shopper. Here are three common habits of smart shoppers.
First, they make a shopping list. Smart shoppers never go shopping without a list. They write down what they need and stick to it. This helps them avoid buying things on impulse (冲动) and save money.
Second, they compare prices. Before buying a product, they check the prices in different stores or online. For example, if a box of milk costs 5 yuan in a supermarket and 4.5 yuan in a nearby store, they will buy it in the cheaper store.
Third, they look for sales and discounts. Smart shoppers know that buying things on sale can save a lot of money. But they don’t buy things just because they are on sale. They only buy what they need.
Besides, smart shoppers are careful. They check the product date, quality and instructions before making a payment. They also share things with others to avoid wasting money.

Soon many giraffes ate up all the roses. Then the giraffes began to eat leaves of young trees. These trees were important to people. So people thought many ways to protect trees.

Passage 5
Eco-Tourism in Yunnan: Balancing Nature and Livelihoods

Villagers earn income by selling handmade products and offering guided tours. “We used to cut forests for firewood,” said Mr. Li, a villager. “Now, we earn more money by protecting them.”
The project also includes educational programs. Schoolchildren visit the site to learn about ecosystems, while adults attend workshops on sustainable farming. Experts from universities collaborate with villagers to test soil quality and monitor wildlife populations. Since its launch in 2023, the project has reduced deforestation by 30% and increased villagers’ average monthly income by 40%.

Passage 10
The water cycle is important in our life. It keeps the climate good and makes sure most places get water.
First, the sun warms up the water in oceans, lakes and rivers. The water gets hot and turns into water vapour (蒸气). This is called evaporation. The vapour then goes up into the sky. High up in the sky, the air is cold. The water vapour cools down and turns into small water drops. These drops get together and make clouds.
When the clouds are full of water drops, the drops fall as rain. Some rainwater runs back to rivers, lakes and oceans. And some goes into the ground. Then the water cycle starts again.
The water cycle makes it possible for us to have fresh water. But we can only use about 1% of the earth’s water. So every drop of water is important. We should protect water and save it.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
1. What is evaporation?
A.The process of water turning into vapour.
B.The process of vapour turning into clouds.
C.The process of rain falling to the ground.

B.When water vapour cools down.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了水循环在我们生活中的重要性,介绍了水循环的过程,包括蒸发、水汽冷却成云、降雨以及水回到河流、湖泊、海洋或渗入地下等环节,还强调了水资源的珍贵以及我们要保护和节约水。
1. 第二段指出“The water gets hot and turns into water vapour (蒸气). This is called evaporation.”,这直接说明蒸发是水变成水蒸气的过程。
2. 第三段说明原因“When the clouds are full of water drops, the drops fall as rain.”,即当云中充满了水滴时,水滴就会以雨的形式落下,所以雨形成的时候是云中充满水滴时。
3. 根据第二段“First, the sun warms up the water in oceans, lakes and rivers. The water gets hot and turns into water vapour (蒸气). This is called evaporation. The vapour then goes up into the sky. High up in the sky, the air is cold. The water vapour cools down and turns into small water drops. These drops get together and make clouds.”可知先是太阳加热水,水变水蒸气(蒸发),对应选项中的A;接着水蒸气冷却成小水滴形成云,对应选项中的D;第三段“When the clouds are full of water drops, the drops fall as rain.”可知云中水滴满后形成雨,对应选项中的B;最后“Some rainwater runs back to rivers, lakes and oceans. And some goes into the ground.”可知雨水回到河流、湖泊、海洋或渗入地下,对应选项中的C,所以正确顺序是A→D→B→C。
4. 最后一段“We should protect water and save it.”表达的是一种观点,即我们应该保护和节约水。
5. 第一段总述水循环在我们生活中很重要,第二、三段分别介绍水循环的具体过程,第四段说明水循环让我们能拥有淡水以及水资源的珍贵,第五段得出我们应该保护和节约水的结论,整体结构是P1/P2P3P4/P5。

With the development of mobile payment, more and more children are not using paper money now.
A survey shows 86% of people in China use mobile phones to pay. For students, they seldom touch (触碰) the paper money in their everyday life. They may only do it when they get lucky money during the Spring Festival. When they need to buy something, they usually don’t reach into their pockets for paper money. They use their digital (电子的) watches. So many children ask their parents, “Why not keep money in the mobile phone or the watch?”
Hearing the question from their children, many parents start to worry (担心). “Our children don’t know much about money. For them, money is just numbers. They have no idea where money comes from or how hard one makes money. This is bad for them,” one mother says.
These years, a few schools in some cities begin to give special math classes to teach students about money. During the class, teachers show all the paper money and coins (硬币) to students and teach them yuan, jiao and fen. What’s more, the teachers ask the students to do simple calculations (简单的计算): from jiao to yuan or from yuan to fen. Mr. Wang, a math teacher, says, “Most children know little about money, so we need to help them get to know it. It’s a hard job, but the classes will be helpful to them.”

Eco-Tourism in Yunnan: Balancing Nature and Livelihoods

The project also includes educational programs. Schoolchildren visit the site to learn about ecosystems, while adults attend workshops on sustainable farming. Experts from universities collaborate with villagers to test soil quality and monitor wildlife populations. Since its launch in 2023, the project has reduced deforestation by 30% and increased villagers’ average monthly income by 40%.

The water cycle is important in our life. It keeps the climate good and makes sure most places get water.
First, the sun warms up the water in oceans, lakes and rivers. The water gets hot and turns into water vapour (蒸气). This is called evaporation. The vapour then goes up into the sky. High up in the sky, the air is cold. The water vapour cools down and turns into small water drops. These drops get together and make clouds.
When the clouds are full of water drops, the drops fall as rain. Some rainwater runs back to rivers, lakes and oceans. And some goes into the ground. Then the water cycle starts again.

A survey shows 86% of people in China use mobile phones to pay. For students, they seldom touch (触碰) the paper money in their everyday life. They may only do it when they get lucky money during the Spring Festival. When they need to buy something, they usually don’t reach into their pockets for paper money. They use their digital (电子的) watches. So many children ask their parents, “Why not keep money in the mobile phone or the watch?”
Hearing the question from their children, many parents start to worry (担心). “Our children don’t know much about money. For them, money is just numbers. They have no idea where money comes from or how hard one makes money. This is bad for them,” one mother says.
These years, a few schools in some cities begin to give special math classes to teach students about money. During the class, teachers show all the paper money and coins (硬币) to students and teach them yuan, jiao and fen. What’s more, the teachers ask the students to do simple calculations (简单的计算): from jiao to yuan or from yuan to fen. Mr. Wang, a math teacher, says, “Most children know little about money, so we need to help them get to know it. It’s a hard job, but the classes will be helpful to them.”
