When we hear about a traffic accident, we want to know what caused it. Did the driver or the bike rider make a mistake? In other accidents, maybe there was something wrong with the car or the bike. Did a person, a dog, or another animal suddenly cross the road? Was it the weather or something else? Often there’s more than one thing that causes a traffic accident. In some traffic accidents, the driver or the bike rider was talking on the phone. Maybe he or she was not following the traffic rules, such as not stopping at a red light. Or was the accident someone else’s mistake? Or the driver or the bike rider suddenly became sick. In fact, it’s impossible to have no traffic accidents. So what can we do to have fewer accidents and keep ourselves out of danger? First, we should be careful when we drive or ride a bike. Following the traffic rules is the most important. Second, we should be sure to use safety equipment (安全设备), like child safety seats. In the event of an accident, safety equipment can save lives. Finally, we should take good care of our cars and bikes to make sure they work well. It’s true that we can’t stop all accidents from happening. But being careful, following traffic rules, and using safety equipment are things that can help. 1．What do we want to know when we hear a traffic accident? __________________________________________________ 2．What is the most important for drivers and riders? __________________________________________________ 3．What safety equipment is mentioned (被提到) in the text? __________________________________________________ 4．How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to have fewer accidents? __________________________________________________ 5．As students, how can we keep safe when walking on the road? __________________________________________________ 【答案】1．What caused the traffic accident. 2．Following the traffic rules. 3．Child safety seats. 4．Three. 5．Follow traffic rules and be careful. 【导语】本文主要讲述了交通事故的常见原因以及如何减少交通事故的建议。 1．根据“When we hear a traffic accident, we want to know what caused it.”可知，当我们听到交通事故时，我们想知道是什么导致了它。故填What caused the traffic accident. 2．根据“Following the traffic rules is the most important.”可知，司机和骑行者最重要的是遵守交通规则。故填Following the traffic rules. 3．根据“Second, we should be sure to use safety equipment (安全设备), like child safety seats.”可知，文中提到的安全设备是儿童安全座椅。故填Child safety seats. 4．根据“First, we should be careful when we drive or ride a bike.”，“Second, we should be sure to use safety equipment (安全设备), like child safety seats.”和“Finally, we should take good care of our cars and bikes to make sure they work well.”可知，作者给出了三条建议。故填Three. 5．开放性问题，言之有理即可。参考答案为Follow traffic rules and be careful. Passage 2 Traffic rules help to keep order on the road. They also help to keep people safe. Traffic accidents killed more than 104,000 people in China last year. As we all know there are more cars than before. So drivers and pedestrians (行人) must work together to make the roads much safer . The pedestrian (行人) has as many rules to follow as the drivers. You should walk on the sidewalk (人行道) on the road. Always look carefully before you walk across the street. If you often ride a bike, don’t ride in the middle of the road or run through red traffic lights. When you ride a bike with a friend, don’t look around or talk. Drivers should slow down at the traffic lights. And the driver and passengers must always wear seat belts (安全带). Without seat belts, they may be badly hurt in a sudden accident. You must be careful if you have to travel in a bus. Get on or get off a bus only after it stops. When it is full, don’t try to get inside, or you may fall off. Traffic rules are road safety rules. Please remember the famous saying “Thinking about others”. 1．What helps to keep order on the road? __________________________________________________ 2．How many people lost their lives in traffic accidents in China last year? __________________________________________________ 3．Where should the pedestrian walk on the road? __________________________________________________ 4．Should the driver and passengers must wear belts while driving? __________________________________________________ 5．When can you get off the bus? __________________________________________________ 【答案】1．Traffic rules. 2．More than 104, 000 (people). 3．On the sidewalk. 4．Yes, they should. 5．Only after it stops. 【导语】本文介绍了一些不管是行人还是司机都应遵循的交通规则。 1．根据“Traffic rules help to keep order on the road.”可知，交通规则有助于维护道路秩序。故填Traffic rules. 2．根据“Traffic accidents killed more than 104,000 people in China last year.”可知，去年，中国的交通事故造成超过104,000人死亡。故填More than 10, 4000 (people). 3．根据“The pedestrian (行人) has as many rules to follow as the drivers.

Cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth if possible. Don’t go back into the room. Never play with fire, knives or stoves. Be careful when you turn on the gas.

We don’t like some of them because they make us feel unhappy. But I have to say that rules make us better. Let’s see some rules around us. The rules at school: We shouldn’t be late for school. We have to wear school uniforms. We can’t eat or wear a hat in the classroom. We can’t run in the hallways. We mustn’t fight or bring mobile phones to the school. There are too many rules. Teachers make all the rules to give us a good environment to study. So it’s good for us to follow them. The rules in the library: We have to be quiet in the library. Talking with others is not allowed. We shouldn’t eat or play games in the library. Of course, we can’t talk on the phone in it, either. The library is a place for people to read books or study. If we can’t follow its rules, we have to leave there. The rules at home: Different homes have different rules. Because every family has its own likes and dislikes. The commonest rules for us students at home can be getting up at a certain time and finishing our homework before going to bed. For example, we are not allowed to go out, watch TV or play computer games on school nights. Sometimes we may think our parents are too strict with us, but they make rules to help us. We have to follow them. 1．How many types of rules are mentioned in the text? __________________________________________________ 2．What are students NOT allowed to do in the classroom? __________________________________________________ 3．Jim talks loudly with his friend in the library.

Weng Youran, 15 When I was little, I was in a swimming club with my best friend. One day, our city’s swimming team came to pick young swimmers. She got in but I didn’t. So I left the club and didn’t say goodbye. I felt that she was not my best friend anymore. Years later, I heard that she didn’t join the city’s team only because of me. Surprised, I called her. She said, “I’ve waited for this call for too long.” Then, we were back to be friends again. Until then, I realized communication is also important in sports world. Wang Jiani, 16 You’re the best player in a long jump competition. The player in second place made mistakes in the first two jumps. Now, it’s his or her jump. And you can teach him or her not to make the same mistakes. Would you do it? Most people would say no because they want to win.

Passage 2 Many of us spend time around areas of water, whether it’s a visit to the beach, going for walks by rivers and lakes or swimming in a pool. However, life is full of the unexpected. If you see someone in trouble in the water, do you know what the best way is to help him? A life-saving course teaches you what to do if there’s danger in the water. It teaches you useful skills such as first aid and how to use life rings. The Life Saving Society organizes life-saving courses. It has a water safety programme for children aged between 8 and 12. The programme teaches them things in a swimming pool, such as how to help a person in need and how to swim. Here is some advice about water safety. First, stop and think before going into the water. Second, always stay together with friends or families and swim at a place having lifeguards. Third, if you see someone in trouble in open water areas, shout for help and throw floating objects (浮动的物体) such as life rings to the person to hold onto. Fourth, if you are the person in trouble, keep your cool—that is the most important thing, and then float on your back and call for help loudly. Taking such a course is wise. It builds confidence and can save lives—yours or others’. Everyone can benefit from learning these important lessons. 1．What useful skills can you learn from a life-saving course? __________________________________________________ 2．How old should children be if they want to join the water safety programme? __________________________________________________ 3．If your friend is in trouble in open water areas, what objects can you throw to him or her？ __________________________________________________ 4．What is the most important thing if you have trouble with water? __________________________________________________ 5．Why should we take the course? __________________________________________________ 【答案】1．First aid and how to use life rings. 2．Between 8 and 12 years old. 3．Floating objects such as life rings. 4．Keeping your cool. 5．It builds confidence and can save lives. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了救生课程的内容、面向的群体，给出了水上安全的相关建议，说明了学习救生技能的重要意义。 1．第二段“It teaches you useful skills such as first aid and how to use life rings.”直接指出救生课程教授的有用技能是急救和使用救生圈的方法，可直接提取答案。 2．第三段明确指出参与者的年龄范围“It has a water safety programme for children aged between 8 and 12.” ，这是原文中的具体信息，可直接提取。 3．第四段明确指出可以扔给遇险的人的物品“if you see someone in trouble in open water areas, shout for help and throw floating objects (浮动的物体) such as life rings...”，可直接提取答案。 4．第四段明确指出最重要的事“if you are the person in trouble, keep your cool—that is the most important thing”，动词keep位于句首，需改为动名词keeping。 5．最后一段明确指出参加课程的原因“Taking such a course is wise.

For many students, there is more good news — they will get a spring break! Several provinces are giving primary and secondary school students “spring breaks”. This idea was discussed at the Two Sessions, an important annual meeting in China. The government supports these breaks because they help families travel during off-peak times. They also help boost consumption (消费), which is good for the economy. More importantly, they give families a chance to spend wonderful time together. Many cities have already made plans. For example, students in Yancheng will have a three-day spring break from April 1 to 3. Nanjing and Suzhou have similar schedules. Other cities like Hangzhou and Chengdu are also considering such breaks. Families now have more chances to travel together and enjoy the beautiful spring season. Travel companies say the tourism market will see notable growth. Flight searches and bookings have doubled. Hotels in popular cities are getting full quickly. Popular family trip places include Sanya, Kunming and Guangzhou. Some families plan to go abroad to countries like Japan and Thailand. Many parents are excited to take their children on these trips. Experts believe this policy is good for both families and the economy. Lu Ming, a government adviser, thinks it should be expanded nationwide. He says the breaks help reduce students’ study pressure. School life can be busy, so a few days off can make a big difference. The breaks also give parents a good chance to travel with their children. He suggests companies offer paid leave to parents so that more families can enjoy the holidays together. In my opinion, these spring breaks are meaningful. They let students relax and spend time with family. They also help the tourism market grow. Most of all, they create happy memories that families will treasure for a long time. 1．When is Yancheng’s spring break?           __________________________________________________ 2．Where were the breaks discussed?           __________________________________________________ 3．How do schools help parents?               __________________________________________________ 4．Why are the holidays good for students?       __________________________________________________ 5．What do you think of these holidays?         __________________________________________________ 【答案】1．From April 1 to 2. 3．At the Two Sessions. 4．They give spring breaks./They offer spring breaks./By giving spring breaks./By offering spring breaks. 5．To reduce students’ study pressure./Because they reduce students’ study pressure./They reduce pressure and relax. 6．They are meaningful/great/wonderful.（答案合理即可） 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕国内部分省市推行的中小学生春假政策展开。 1．原文第二段，直接给出信息“students in Yancheng will have a three-day spring break from April 1 to 3”，直接提取答案即可。 2．第一段原文明确说明“This idea was discussed at the Two Sessions, an important annual meeting in China”，直接提取答案。 3．第三题询问学校如何帮助家长，结合全文逻辑：学校给学生放春假，给家长创造了和孩子一同旅行、共处的机会，整理即可得到答案。 4．结合第四段专家观点“the breaks help reduce students’ study pressure”和最后一段作者观点“They let students relax and spend time with family ... they create happy memories that families will treasure”稍加整理即可。 5．本题是开放题，询问个人看法，结合文中作者的观点合理表述即可。 Passage 2 Grain Rain (谷雨) is the sixth solar term of the 24 solar terms (节气) in China. It is the last term in spring. It is always in late April. This year, it is on 19, April. Grain Rain means the end of spring. It always rains a lot at this time. It is important for crops to get enough rain, because rainwater can help them grow faster and stronger. There are some traditions (传统) during Grain Rain. Drinking tea is one of them. People in southern China like to drink tea on this day. Spring tea during Grain Rain is rich in vitamins, so drinking tea can help them remove heat from the body and is good for their eyes. It is also said that drinking tea on this day would prevent bad luck. Eating Chinese toon (香椿) is also a tradition during Grain Rain. Chinese toon is delicious and healthy to eat. People can eat it with eggs or tofu. It is really very popular. Another tradition is the Grain Rain Festival. Fishing villagers in the coastal areas of China celebrate it. Grain Rain marks the start of the fishermen’s first voyage (航行) of the year. The tradition dates back more than 2,000 years ago. At that time, people believed gods protected them from the stormy seas, so they could have a good harvest.

Now they have found something new-hot cities! In the southern US, they have found that cities become very hot in summer. China also has the same kind of problems. Every year more farming land is used for factories or offices. More housing is needed too. As people become richer, they buy more cars. New roads are needed and new car parks are built in the city centres. This all makes the cities hotter. It is not easy to change the situation. City planners say that we should plant more trees in the middle of cities. ‘Every new street should have trees on both sides,’ they say. Trees make the temperature lower, so we should have more trees in our parks and squares. Also we should paint our roofs (屋顶) white. If we do this, they do not become so hot. Every roof in a hot and sunny country should have solar roof panels (太阳能屋顶板). The electricity from these can be used to run the air conditioners in the building. People continue to cut down forests around the cities. This makes the problem worse. Cities are growing faster and faster. By the year 2050, 80% of the world’s population will be living in cities. If we go on like this, there will not be enough farmland to feed everyone in the world. 1．What have scientists newly found about hot cities? __________________________________________________ 2．Why do cities in China become hotter? __________________________________________________ 3．How can trees help cities become cooler? __________________________________________________ 4．What should people paint white to reduce heat? __________________________________________________ 5．What will happen if forests keep being cut down? __________________________________________________ 【答案】1．In the southern US, cities become very hot in summer. 2．Because more farming land is used for factories or offices, more housing is needed, more cars are bought, new roads are needed and new car parks are built in the city centres. 3．Trees make the temperature lower. 4．People should paint their roofs white. 5．There will not be enough farmland to feed everyone in the world. 【导语】本文主要介绍了城市变热的现象、原因以及应对措施，同时指出持续砍伐森林会带来的严重后果。 1．第一段明确提到“In the southern US, they have found that cities become very hot in summer.”，所以科学家关于“热城市”的新发现是在美国南部，城市在夏天变得非常热，答案直接从原文提取。 2．第二段指出“Every year more farming land is used for factories or offices. More housing is needed too. As people become richer, they buy more cars. New roads are needed and new car parks are built in the city centres. This all makes the cities hotter.”，即因为更多的农田被用于建工厂或办公室，需要更多住房，人们买更多汽车，需要新道路且在城市中心建新停车场，这些使得中国城市变得更热，答案是对原文内容的整合。 3．第三段提到“Trees make the temperature lower, so we should have more trees in our parks and squares.”，说明树木能降低温度，从而使城市变得更凉爽，答案直接从原文提取。 4．第三段明确说“Also we should paint our roofs (屋顶) white.”，即人们应该把屋顶涂成白色来减少热量，答案直接从原文提取。 5．最后一段提到“If we go on like this, there will not be enough farmland to feed everyone in the world.”，表明如果森林持续被砍伐，将没有足够的农田来养活世界上的每个人，答案直接从原文提取。 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读表达4大常考话题 话题1 公共规则、交通法规 话题3 校园安全、居家安全、网络安全、交通安全 话题2 国球文化、梦之队、体育精神、奥运 话题4 节气文化、植树环保、春季活动 话题1 公共规则、交通法规 Passage 1 Traffic (交通) accidents happen a lot. When we hear about a traffic accident, we want to know what caused it. Did the driver or the bike rider make a mistake? In other accidents, maybe there was something wrong with the car or the bike. Did a person, a dog, or another animal suddenly cross the road? Was it the weather or something else? Often there’s more than one thing that causes a traffic accident. In some traffic accidents, the driver or the bike rider was talking on the phone. Maybe he or she was not following the traffic rules, such as not stopping at a red light. Or was the accident someone else’s mistake? Or the driver or the bike rider suddenly became sick. In fact, it’s impossible to have no traffic accidents. So what can we do to have fewer accidents and keep ourselves out of danger? First, we should be careful when we drive or ride a bike. Following the traffic rules is the most important. Second, we should be sure to use safety equipment (安全设备), like child safety seats. In the event of an accident, safety equipment can save lives. Finally, we should take good care of our cars and bikes to make sure they work well. It’s true that we can’t stop all accidents from happening. But being careful, following traffic rules, and using safety equipment are things that can help. 1．What do we want to know when we hear a traffic accident? __________________________________________________ 2．What is the most important for drivers and riders? __________________________________________________ 3．What safety equipment is mentioned (被提到) in the text? __________________________________________________ 4．How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to have fewer accidents? __________________________________________________ 5．As students, how can we keep safe when walking on the road? __________________________________________________ Passage 2 Traffic rules help to keep order on the road. They also help to keep people safe. Traffic accidents killed more than 104,000 people in China last year. As we all know there are more cars than before. So drivers and pedestrians (行人) must work together to make the roads much safer . The pedestrian (行人) has as many rules to follow as the drivers. You should walk on the sidewalk (人行道) on the road. Always look carefully before you walk across the street. If you often ride a bike, don’t ride in the middle of the road or run through red traffic lights. When you ride a bike with a friend, don’t look around or talk. Drivers should slow down at the traffic lights. And the driver and passengers must always wear seat belts (安全带). Without seat belts, they may be badly hurt in a sudden accident. You must be careful if you have to travel in a bus. Get on or get off a bus only after it stops. When it is full, don’t try to get inside, or you may fall off. Traffic rules are road safety rules. Please remember the famous saying “Thinking about others”. 1．What helps to keep order on the road? __________________________________________________ 2．How many people lost their lives in traffic accidents in China last year? __________________________________________________ 3．Where should the pedestrian walk on the road? __________________________________________________ 4．Should the driver and passengers must wear belts while driving? __________________________________________________ 5．When can you get off the bus? __________________________________________________ Passage 3 Hello, everyone. I am a fireman. Today I want to tell you what to do when there is a fire. It is important for us to protect ourselves and keep safe. First, if something catches fire, don’t panic. Keep calm. If your clothes are on fire, don’t run. Drop to the ground and roll. This can stop the fire quickly. Stay away from smoke and heat. Cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth if possible. Don’t go back into the room. Never play with fire, knives or stoves. Be careful when you turn on the gas. Careless actions often cause fires and injuries. If you can’t put out the fire, call for help right away. Go out quickly and cross the street to a safe place. Don’t hurt yourselves. Everyone should learn first aid and know how to keep safe. In short, follow these rules. We can keep away from danger and protect ourselves well. 1．What should we do if something catches fire? __________________________________________________ 2．What is the purpose of “drop to the ground and roll” when we are on fire? __________________________________________________ 3．What may happen if we are careless when using gas or stoves? __________________________________________________ 4．What should we do if we cannot put out the fire by ourselves? __________________________________________________ 5．Do you think it is necessary for every student to learn first aid? Why? __________________________________________________ Passage 4 There are many rules we have to follow in our daily life. We don’t like some of them because they make us feel unhappy. But I have to say that rules make us better. Let’s see some rules around us. The rules at school: We shouldn’t be late for school. We have to wear school uniforms. We can’t eat or wear a hat in the classroom. We can’t run in the hallways. We mustn’t fight or bring mobile phones to the school. There are too many rules. Teachers make all the rules to give us a good environment to study. So it’s good for us to follow them. The rules in the library: We have to be quiet in the library. Talking with others is not allowed. We shouldn’t eat or play games in the library. Of course, we can’t talk on the phone in it, either. The library is a place for people to read books or study. If we can’t follow its rules, we have to leave there. The rules at home: Different homes have different rules. Because every family has its own likes and dislikes. The commonest rules for us students at home can be getting up at a certain time and finishing our homework before going to bed. For example, we are not allowed to go out, watch TV or play computer games on school nights. Sometimes we may think our parents are too strict with us, but they make rules to help us. We have to follow them. 1．How many types of rules are mentioned in the text? __________________________________________________ 2．What are students NOT allowed to do in the classroom? __________________________________________________ 3．Jim talks loudly with his friend in the library.

I sat down and took out my book. Suddenly, a girl opposite me started playing loud music on her phone. What a shock! I almost jumped up in surprise. A minute later, the man next to me took out several packets of food. It was like he was on a picnic. People have to eat, of course, but the food was so smelly! It was like sitting next to a mountain of blue cheese. I covered my ears in order to block the noise coming from Rock Girl. I covered my nose so as to reduce the smell coming from Mr. Smelly Food. Then a boy behind me started to kick my seat. My anger grew. My face turned as red as a tomato! I asked him to stop. However, his mother replied, “Come on, he’s just a kid.” I turned around so as to see the other passengers’ faces. They also seemed unhappy, but no one did anything. Will they think me a fool if I do something? I looked at the signs on the wall. They read “Please be quiet”, “No smelly food” and “Please look after your children”. Everyone knows the rules, I thought. They aren’t just on the wall but also in our minds and hearts. And rules are there for us to follow! Suddenly, I felt brave. I took a deep breath, stood up and cleared my throat... 1．What did the man next to the writer do on the train? __________________________________________________ 2．What did the writer do to block the noise and the smell? __________________________________________________ 3．What did the boy’s mother say when the writer asked the boy to stop? __________________________________________________ 4．How did other passengers feel about the bad behavior? __________________________________________________ 5．What does the writer think of the rules on the wall? __________________________________________________ Passage 6 Singapore is a small island country located in Southeast Asia but it’s one of the cleanest countries in the world. Every year, it draws a lot of people from all over the world. People there have many strict rules for public places. There are many things you must do in Singapore. When you take an escalator (扶梯), you must stand on the left. In this way, people who are in a hurry to go up or down can pass on the right. Singapore also has special paths for bikes and people on foot. In order to make everyone safer, you must make sure to walk on the right path. Besides, cash is widely accepted in Singapore, and the small shops prefer you to pay by using cash. Also, to protect the environment, you’d better take your cup with you. Tap water (自来水) is easy to get and it is tested strictly, so you can drink it directly. Bottled water is quite expensive, while tap water is free. However, there are things you must not do. For example, selling gum (口香糖) is not allowed in Singapore. You can’t even carry gum with you. Eating or drinking on trains and buses is not allowed, as it will make the seats and floors dirty. You can’t play music loudly or talk loudly on your phone either. People in Singapore take their rules very seriously, which makes their country clean and enjoyable for people from around the world. 1．Where is Singapore? __________________________________________________ 2．What rule must you follow when you take an escalator? __________________________________________________ 3．How do the small shops prefer you to pay? __________________________________________________ 4．Which kind of water is free, tap water or bottled water? __________________________________________________ 5．Why is eating or drinking on trains and buses not allowed? __________________________________________________ 话题2 国球文化、梦之队、体育精神、奥运会 Passage 1 “Dream of Winter, Love among Asia”, a short track speed skater and two tigers... The slogan (号), the emblem (徽章) and mascots (吉祥物) for the 9th Asian Winter Games finally came out. Good news! The games will be held in Harbin, Heilongjiang in 2025. The emblem looks like the Chinese character “九”. That means the 9th Asian Winter Games. It also looks like the Chinese character “合”. It describes Chinese people’s wish to get together with friends from other Asian countries. It also shows the beauty of Chinese characters to the world. In the emblem, the short track speed skater represents the sports spirit of the players across Asia. The lilac, the flower of Harbin, symbolizes (象征) Harbin’s city culture of warm-heartedness (热心). And the red sun represents the wish of Asian countries to go after progress and peace. The emblem allows people to easily see the time and place of the sports event. The idea of the two mascots, Binbin and Nini, came from two lovely Siberian (西伯利亚的) tiger cubs (幼兽) born in Harbin in September 2023. The word “bin” is part of the name of the city, Harbin, and “ni” shares the same pronunciation as “you” in Chinese. The two names show the meaning of the words “Harbin welcomes you”. Besides, Binbin is a mascot representing ice sports. It is skating happily, wearing winter sportswear and ice skates. Nini on a snowboard represents snow sports. It wears a traditional Chinese red jacket. They are so cute, aren’t they? 1．Where will the 9th Asian Winter be held? __________________________________________________ 2．What is the slogan for the 9th Asian Winter Games? __________________________________________________ 3．According to the symbolization of the lilac, what are people from Harbin like? __________________________________________________ 4．If you put the names of these two mascots together, what does it mean? __________________________________________________ 5．If you are a local person in Harbin, during the 9th Asian Winter Games, do you want to be a volunteer?

I always hope to get a medal for China. Finally, I made it.” Zheng said after her win. From 2020 to 2024, Zheng’s world ranking (排名) jumped from over 600 to No.7. Years of competition taught her to play patiently and control the energy in matches. Her wonderful performance made her fans call her “Queen Wen”. “I love my fans for giving me this nickname (昵称), because it fits my character well. You need to show yourself as queen of the court (球场), because you need this energy to show you that you are the best.” Zheng told China Daily. Playing for China at the Olympic Games gave Zheng power. She made her way to success after surviving (挺过) 3 hours of tiring matches.

It started a football craze and got many people interested in the exciting game. But have you heard of blind football? Blind football is also played by two teams on the field. Each team is made up of four blind people and a goalkeeper (守门员) with sight. All the players except the goalkeepers have their eyes covered with masks. The coaches and guides along the sidelines shout out instructions, directing the players to pass, tackle (抢球) and shoot (射门). In China, a group of blind football players formed a team in November 2006. Compared with the national football team, it’s not a professional one. But the team has made great achievements during these years. In August, 2023, the team won a silver medal in the Men’s Blind Football World Championships. Two months later, it became the champion at the Asian Para Games. 28-year-old Liu Meng is an experienced player in the team. He lost his sight completely at the age of 13. Though he was once seriously hurt, he still went back to the field. Wang Guishun, who has been working as the team’s coach for 14 years, is a role model for the players. They have learned a lot from him. Darkness can’t stop these football players, and they just keep playing. Their never-say-die spirit leads everyone to face difficulties bravely and go after their dreams with a strong will. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．How many players (including the goalkeeper) are there in a blind football team? __________________________________________________ 2．How do the coaches and guides direct the players to play in a match? __________________________________________________ 3．When was the blind football team formed? __________________________________________________ 4．Who is a role model for the blind players? __________________________________________________ 5．What do you think of the blind players? __________________________________________________ Passage 4 Su Bingtian is a well-known Chinese sprinter (短跑运动员). His story in the world of track-and-field (田径) is really touching, especially about the Paris Olympics. Two years before the Paris Olympics, Su met a lot of problems. An old hurt came back, making it very hard for him to train as before. Doctors said it would take a long time to get better, and he might not be able to return to his best condition. Su was very sad and worried. He felt hopeless and was afraid his dream of doing well at the Paris Olympics wouldn’t come true. However, Su didn’t give up. During his recovery (康复) time, the medical team played some energetic music for him. One song, Fight On, became his favorite quickly. The strong rhythm and encouraging words in the song gave him the power to keep going. From then on, music was an important part of his getting-better process. Whenever he felt down or had trouble in training, he would listen to this song, and it would make him stronger. At the Paris Olympics, Su Bingtian not only made a great comeback but also left a deep impression (印象) on the international stage. His hard work moved many athletes around the world. His performance broke the wrong idea that Asian players couldn’t compete at the top level. He has become a symbol of not giving up and chasing (追求) excellence, which shows the world that with a strong will and hard work, anything can be achieved. 1．Did Su Bingtian face problems two years before the Paris Olympics? __________________________________________________ 2．How did the medical team help Su Bingtian relax during his recovery? __________________________________________________ 3．What was Su Bingtian’s favorite song during his recovery? __________________________________________________ 4．What has Su Bingtian become a symbol of? __________________________________________________ 5．What can you learn from Su Bingtian? __________________________________________________ Passage 5 Nowadays, many people do exercise in their free time. Exercise helps to keep us in good health. Some doctors advise us to take exercise at least 150 minutes every week. Many people have a habit of taking exricise. They exercise for some minutes every day. So, getting those 150 minutes is easier. But what about those times when we are ill? If we do not feel well, should we take exercise as usual? Will exercise help us feel better or not? Edward R. Laskowski is a doctor. He says exercise is usually Ok if we have a common cold. He says, “If you take some medicine and don’t feel so ill, it’s OK to take exercise.” But there some other symptoms (症状) that can tell us to stop exercise. If we feel very tired, we shouldn’t exercise, either. In all, Dr. Laskowski advised to listen to our body. If we feel really bad, take a break and let our body rest. If we don’t feel so bad, we can take exercise. For example, if we usually run, take a quick walk instead. 1．Why do many people do exercise? __________________________________________________ 2．How long do doctors advise us to take exercise every week? __________________________________________________ 3．Can we take exercise if we have a common cold? __________________________________________________ 4．What’s Dr. Laskowski’s advice? __________________________________________________ 5．What should we do if we feel really bad? __________________________________________________ Passage 6 The 19th Asian Games were held in Hangzhou. Players from all over the world played against each other. However, as we say in China, “Friendship first, competition second.” How can players have both? Let’s share two students’ ideas about it. Weng Youran, 15 When I was little, I was in a swimming club with my best friend. One day, our city’s swimming team came to pick young swimmers. She got in but I didn’t. So I left the club and didn’t say goodbye. I felt that she was not my best friend anymore. Years later, I heard that she didn’t join the city’s team only because of me. Surprised, I called her. She said, “I’ve waited for this call for too long.” Then, we were back to be friends again. Until then, I realized communication is also important in sports world. Wang Jiani, 16 You’re the best player in a long jump competition. The player in second place made mistakes in the first two jumps. Now, it’s his or her jump. And you can teach him or her not to make the same mistakes. Would you do it? Most people would say no because they want to win. But during the Olympic Games in Berlin, the number one player, Luz Long did so. He showed the second place player Jesse Owens the right place to jump. Jesse listened to Luz and finally won the game! This showed us that competition was also about respect, fairness and friendship. 1．What did Weng Youran do when her friend got in the team? __________________________________________________ 2．What did Weng Youran realize years later? __________________________________________________ 3．What did Luz Long do to help Jesse Owens? __________________________________________________ 4．Who finally won in the long jump competition? __________________________________________________ 5．Do you think Luz Long is right?

But in fact, everyone should learn first aid because it is helpful. Here are its good points. Help to save lives. First aid helps you save lives. Giving someone first aid can help him or her get better soon. It teaches you how to keep calm (镇静的) in special situations. Help someone feel better. Not every accident or injury needs treatment (治疗) in the hospital. But it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to help someone injured, even though the injury isn’t very serious. You can use first aid to help anyone in need like a child crying because of a cold. Keep a situation from getting worse. Sometimes, if a person doesn’t receive first aid in time, he or she will get worse. If you offer him or her care, he or she will feel better. 阅读短文，回答问题。 1．Why should everyone learn first aid? __________________________________________________ 2．What can first aid teach us? __________________________________________________ 3．Does every accident need treatment in the hospital? __________________________________________________ 4．What will happen if a man doesn’t receive first aid in time? __________________________________________________ 5．How many good points are mentioned in the passage? __________________________________________________ Passage 2 Many of us spend time around areas of water, whether it’s a visit to the beach, going for walks by rivers and lakes or swimming in a pool. However, life is full of the unexpected. If you see someone in trouble in the water, do you know what the best way is to help him? A life-saving course teaches you what to do if there’s danger in the water. It teaches you useful skills such as first aid and how to use life rings. The Life Saving Society organizes life-saving courses. It has a water safety programme for children aged between 8 and 12. The programme teaches them things in a swimming pool, such as how to help a person in need and how to swim. Here is some advice about water safety. First, stop and think before going into the water. Second, always stay together with friends or families and swim at a place having lifeguards. Third, if you see someone in trouble in open water areas, shout for help and throw floating objects (浮动的物体) such as life rings to the person to hold onto. Fourth, if you are the person in trouble, keep your cool—that is the most important thing, and then float on your back and call for help loudly. Taking such a course is wise. It builds confidence and can save lives—yours or others’. Everyone can benefit from learning these important lessons. 1．What useful skills can you learn from a life-saving course? __________________________________________________ 2．How old should children be if they want to join the water safety programme? __________________________________________________ 3．If your friend is in trouble in open water areas, what objects can you throw to him or her？ __________________________________________________ 4．What is the most important thing if you have trouble with water? __________________________________________________ 5．Why should we take the course? __________________________________________________ Passage 3 It was Saturday morning. Mrs. Green asked her two sons, Jim and Tim, to help decorate their new house. They needed to put up some pictures on the wall. Jim wasn’t tall enough to reach the top of the wall, so he climbed onto a chair. He held a roll of tape in his hand and started to work. Suddenly, Jim lost his balance. He fell down from the chair and lay on the floor. His leg felt sore, and he couldn’t stand up easily. Tim was very worried. He ran to call an ambulance at once. On the way to the hospital, Jim told Tim not to cry and said it was just a small accident. Luckily, the doctor said Jim’s leg was not badly hurt. He just needed to rest at home for a week.

He ran over quickly and found that the old man wasn’t breathing. He remembered the first aid course he took at school. He asked a passerby (路人) to call 120 immediately. Then he checked the old man’s airway (呼吸道) to make sure it was open. He started to do CPR (心肺复苏). He pressed on the old man’s chest hard and fast. He kept doing it until the ambulance arrived.

The weather is warm, and flowers are blooming. For many students, there is more good news — they will get a spring break! Several provinces are giving primary and secondary school students “spring breaks”. This idea was discussed at the Two Sessions, an important annual meeting in China. The government supports these breaks because they help families travel during off-peak times. They also help boost consumption (消费), which is good for the economy. More importantly, they give families a chance to spend wonderful time together. Many cities have already made plans. For example, students in Yancheng will have a three-day spring break from April 1 to 3. Nanjing and Suzhou have similar schedules. Other cities like Hangzhou and Chengdu are also considering such breaks. Families now have more chances to travel together and enjoy the beautiful spring season. Travel companies say the tourism market will see notable growth. Flight searches and bookings have doubled. Hotels in popular cities are getting full quickly. Popular family trip places include Sanya, Kunming and Guangzhou. Some families plan to go abroad to countries like Japan and Thailand. Many parents are excited to take their children on these trips. Experts believe this policy is good for both families and the economy. Lu Ming, a government adviser, thinks it should be expanded nationwide. He says the breaks help reduce students’ study pressure. School life can be busy, so a few days off can make a big difference. The breaks also give parents a good chance to travel with their children. He suggests companies offer paid leave to parents so that more families can enjoy the holidays together. In my opinion, these spring breaks are meaningful. They let students relax and spend time with family. They also help the tourism market grow. Most of all, they create happy memories that families will treasure for a long time. 1．When is Yancheng’s spring break?           __________________________________________________ 2．Where were the breaks discussed?           __________________________________________________ 3．How do schools help parents?               __________________________________________________ 4．Why are the holidays good for students?       __________________________________________________ 5．What do you think of these holidays?         __________________________________________________ Passage 2 Grain Rain (谷雨) is the sixth solar term of the 24 solar terms (节气) in China. It is the last term in spring. It is always in late April. This year, it is on 19, April. Grain Rain means the end of spring. It always rains a lot at this time. It is important for crops to get enough rain, because rainwater can help them grow faster and stronger. There are some traditions (传统) during Grain Rain. Drinking tea is one of them. People in southern China like to drink tea on this day. Spring tea during Grain Rain is rich in vitamins, so drinking tea can help them remove heat from the body and is good for their eyes. It is also said that drinking tea on this day would prevent bad luck. Eating Chinese toon (香椿) is also a tradition during Grain Rain. Chinese toon is delicious and healthy to eat. People can eat it with eggs or tofu. It is really very popular. Another tradition is the Grain Rain Festival. Fishing villagers in the coastal areas of China celebrate it. Grain Rain marks the start of the fishermen’s first voyage (航行) of the year. The tradition dates back more than 2,000 years ago. At that time, people believed gods protected them from the stormy seas, so they could have a good harvest. On this day, people would worship (祭拜) the sea, wishing for a good harvest and a safe voyage for their loved ones. Grain Rain makes our human culture combine with nature in harmony, which shows the traditional Chinese theory that man is an integral part of nature. 1．When is Grain Rain this year? __________________________________________________ 2．What does Grain Rain mean? __________________________________________________ 3．How many traditions are mentioned in the passage? __________________________________________________ 4．What is the popular food on Grain Rain? __________________________________________________ 5．Who celebrates the Grain Rain Festival? __________________________________________________ Passage 3 Huangshan is one of the most famous and beautiful mountains in China. It lies in the south of Anhui Province and is well-known for its fantastic natural sights all over the world. Millions of visitors from home and abroad come to visit it every year. They are deeply attracted by its strange-shaped rocks, ancient green pines, wonderful sea of clouds and clear hot springs. Some visitors choose to walk slowly to enjoy the fresh air and peaceful views, while others get up very early to wait for the amazing sunrise over the mountain tops. Huangshan is not only a natural wonder but also an important part of Chinese culture. For hundreds of years, many artists have painted beautiful pictures of it, and poets have written great poems to express their deep love for it. It has become a special symbol to show the amazing natural beauty of China. Such wonderful natural scenery and rich cultural meaning make Huangshan more than just a famous mountain. It touches visitors’ hearts, brings them peace and joy, and makes every Chinese feel truly proud of our amazing motherland. 1．Where is Huangshan? __________________________________________________ 2．What attracts visitors to Huangshan? __________________________________________________ 3．Why do some visitors get up early? __________________________________________________ 4．What do poets do about Huangshan? __________________________________________________ 5．What does Huangshan show to the world? __________________________________________________ Passage 4 For many years scientists have said that the earth is getting warmer. Now they have found something new-hot cities! In the southern US, they have found that cities become very hot in summer. China also has the same kind of problems. Every year more farming land is used for factories or offices. More housing is needed too. As people become richer, they buy more cars. New roads are needed and new car parks are built in the city centres. This all makes the cities hotter. It is not easy to change the situation. City planners say that we should plant more trees in the middle of cities. ‘Every new street should have trees on both sides,’ they say. Trees make the temperature lower, so we should have more trees in our parks and squares. Also we should paint our roofs (屋顶) white. If we do this, they do not become so hot. Every roof in a hot and sunny country should have solar roof panels (太阳能屋顶板). The electricity from these can be used to run the air conditioners in the building. People continue to cut down forests around the cities. This makes the problem worse. Cities are growing faster and faster. By the year 2050, 80% of the world’s population will be living in cities. If we go on like this, there will not be enough farmland to feed everyone in the world. 1．What have scientists newly found about hot cities? __________________________________________________ 2．Why do cities in China become hotter? __________________________________________________ 3．How can trees help cities become cooler? __________________________________________________ 4．What should people paint white to reduce heat? __________________________________________________ 5．What will happen if forests keep being cut down? __________________________________________________ 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
