Passage 1 Wang Haoze，a girl born in 1990，has become famous in the aerospace field for her excellent achievements. As an astronaut of XIX crewed spaceship（神舟十九号载人飞船）and the first woman flight engineer in China，her story has encouraged many people. During her college years，she did well in study and was the top of her class. She was also good at sports and she loved running. When she was in university，she joined the school's field team and attended the 17th Jiangsu Provincial Games. Looking back，Wang Haoze believes that the long-lasting exercise at that time helps a lot for her to become an astronaut. “It was my teacher who led me to the space field. Mr.Gu was interested in spaceflight and often encouraged us to get jobs in the space field，” Wang Haoze also says. After graduation，Wang joined the Beijing Aerospace Propulsion Institute. Involved in a new field and faced with new challenges，she enjoyed learning and overcoming difficulties. Hard work always pays off. The first product designed（设计） by Wang was praised by an expert. Three years after working on rocket engines，Wang was chosen to be the third generation of astronauts for our country. At the Astronaut Center of China，Wang has faced more challenges，but she never considered giving up. Looking into her first journey in space，she said， “We have practiced our skills so many times on the ground. I wish to fly to the space station as soon as possible to see what it looks like. I want to float（漂浮） inside Tiangong to experience the excitement of weightlessness. I hope that in the future，I can complete every task successfully and make our 'space home' better.” 1.

I'd never have thought anyone would choose the last one. But now，thanks to a Japanese company，it could be a real competitor. Giraffe-nap is invented to allow the user to take a rest while standing when he/she feels tired or sleepy. Its purpose is to help the user improve performance at work. In an introduction to the nap box，the company says that it will allow the user to be refreshed （恢复精神的） in just 20 minutes. But why does it have to be standing？The company explains that studies have shown that sleeping while standing allows people to reach a sleep state and they can breathe easily.When they wake up，they can feel the effect of a nap without having to sleep too much. And they can quickly return to work without feeling dizzy（眩晕的）. Also，making the box stand upright means that it takes up half as much floor space. Now，I know what you're thinking—wouldn't a person fall down if he tried to sleep while standing？Of course not. Inside the box are four points to support the body—head，buttocks （臀部），legs and feet.That means he can rest his arms，legs and head in the box while still remaining upright. Giraffe-nap has been made in two different styles. They're expected to go on sale at the end of next year. 1. What is giraffe-nap？ 　_________________________________________________________________　 2. Who invented giraffe-nap？ 　_________________________________________________________________　 3.

However，sometimes it is very difficult to choose a gift. It's clear that no one wants to disappoint the birthday person by buying something that's not useful to him or her. Luckily，here's some advice that can help you choose a good gift. You should know the birthday person very well to pick the best gift. Start by making a list of all his or her likes. For example，if the person loves traveling, then look for some useful gifts for travelers，such as a map and a backpack. Write down all the possible gift ideas and then try to find something the person needs and would love to have. If you don't know the birthday person well，you can turn to the people who know the person well for help. Gifts are all about making people feel special. So it's important that the gift should be very special. It doesn't have to be very expensive，but it should be meaningful to the person. No matter （无论） what gift you choose，always add your little touch to it. You can write a card or a note to make it more personal and exciting. This will bring a smile on the faces of the birthday persons. The Color of Roses （玫瑰花） Matters In Western countries，you should not give red roses to a person you don't know very well because they are a symbol of love. You should give yellow roses because they are a symbol of friendship （友谊）.You may also send pink roses as gifts to say thank you. 1.

It said， "Hello，friend. Can you cut down those bigger trees？They're blocking（遮挡）the sun. It is so crowded here that I have no room to spread my roots（根）. I can't feel the wind." The little tree held out its tiny leaves. It looked so sad. It continued， "If those trees were gone，I'd be able to grow. A year from now，I'd be the biggest tree here. But for now，I'm just a small tree." The man thought for a while and agreed. He walked over to the bigger trees and started cutting them down. Soon，he cleared lots of space around the small tree. Now it would be able to feel the sun and wind. It would grow bigger and become the biggest tree in that area. But something else happened instead. The tree was nearly dead—without the bigger trees to protect it. The sun's heat came first，burning the small tree，which wasn't used to so much sunlight. Heavy wind and rain came ，and the small tree was hit by the storm. "You've been quite foolish， " said a snake that saw what had happened. "You brought this on yourself. If you'd left the bigger trees alone，the sun and the storm wouldn't have hurt you so badly. They protected you. If you had just waited longer，you would have grown to be just as big as them. You'd be strong. But now，you're nearly gone." "You just take a one-sided view（观点）of the problem，" the snake told the small tree. "You close your eyes to something the bigger trees do for you，but stare at the bad ones." 1. What did the small tree ask the man to do？ 　________________________________ __________________ ____　 2.

It is from the famous Chinese story "Journey to the West"，which is really important in Chinese culture. And this game has excited players around the world since it came out on August 20th. In the game，you play as Sun Wukong，also known as the Monkey King，who is the lead hero with amazing abilities. You can run fast，jump high，and use the magic stick to fight bad people. One of the best parts of this game is to experience its beautiful scenes of Chinese nature，including famous mountains，peaceful rivers，and ancient temples（寺庙）. These places look just like the real ones. This is because the game makers took lots of pictures while traveling across China and used them in every part of the game. Foreign players love this game because it introduces a whole new world of myths and legends to them. Almost everything in the game，from buildings to clothing，involves Chinese traditions. They get to learn about Chinese culture and history while having fun. The music in the game is special，too. It uses traditional Chinese instruments（乐器）like the guzheng，bowls，wooden sticks，and gongs.

He asked the scholar （有学问的人） Guo Wei for advice. Guo told the king a story. In ancient times，there was a king who wanted a special kind of horse. This horse could run 1，000 li a day. It was called qianlima. He sent many people to find these horses and buy them for him. 3 years later，nobody found him such a horse. One day，a man volunteered to help. Within three months，he heard about a qianlima. He rushed to find it，but the horse was already dead. Still，he bought the bones（骨头） of the horse with 500 pieces of gold. The king was very angry. " What I want is a live horse，not the bones of a dead horse!" The man answered，" Look! You' re willing to pay a high price for a dead horse，let alone（更不用说） live one. This shows people that you truly wish to buy the horses. Just wait and the horses you want will come very soon." Within a year，many qianlima owners brought their horses to the king. Guo told the king that he could see himself as the bones of the horse. " If I am valued （重视），more talent will be willing to serve the state，" he said. The king built houses for Guo and treated him as a teacher. Soon，talented people across the state came to help the king. 1. Why did King Zhao want to have talented people？ 　 　 2.

Jokingly，I said to the group， "What do you think if we go a week without using our laptops or smartphones？" They laughed，and one of them said， "No way，Mr.White. They would be too much." I could feel their worry，and told them that I was only considering single screen-free days. Even that idea left them feeling upset. According to a survey we did，most students in our school spend about six hours a day on screens. Many of my students start their day by checking their smartphones. I often see them looking at their phones when getting off the bus or at parents' drop-off，they can't use their own "screens" at school. They usually work on computers at school for at least two hours during the day. It's clear that our students spend a lot of time on screens. We do see the benefits of technology. However，we teachers also want to make sure that students have balanced learning and social experiences away from their screens. That's why we have come up with the idea of screen-free days. During the course of the year，we have built in several screen-free days that require us to make different plans for our students about how they will communicate with one another and the world around them without "screens". For some teachers，this means bringing back a valuable lesson plan that has been put off （推迟） for some time because it is "out of date". Others have designed something completely new. Fun activities，for example，card games and room escape（密室逃脱） games，are organized at school. In these activities，students socialize without smartphones and have face-to-face communication without checking on "likes" they've got online. These fun activities also make it possible for the whole grade to enjoy the company of their friends with no smartphones. After our first screen-free day，students mentioned that they were surprised they enjoyed it. Finding ways to help our students connect with one another is important. While technology is already part of our world，it shouldn't play such an important role in a learner's life. 1. Why have the teachers come up with the idea of screen-free days？ ______________________________________________________________ 2. What fun activities can the students have at school？ ______________________________________________________________ 3. How did the students feel after the first screen-free day？ 　　 4. What do you think of the idea of screen-free days？Why do you think so？ 　 Passage 8 Do you know about World Reading Day？It was set up by UNESCO in 1995. Its purpose is to encourage people，especially students，to discover the pleasure of reading. It is also the day to honor a great writer，William Shakespeare，who was born and died on that day. Many countries celebrate World Reading Day. Take the UK as an example，on that day，millions of students can buy books at lower prices than usual in any bookstore. It has been done every year since 1998. World Reading Day in the UK takes place on March 7th. This day applies to（适用） the UK and Ireland only. Most other countries，including China，celebrate World Reading Day on April 23rd every year. World Reading Day is also well-known in China. Former Chinese Premier，Wen Jiabao，a book lover，did a lot of reading every day though he was very busy. He set out a project of encouraging a love for reading in all Chinese people. He suggested that young people should spend more time reading. "Books cannot change the world，but people can change the world by changing themselves through reading，" he said. "Reading makes a full man，" said English philosopher（哲学家） Francis Bacon and no truer words were said than these. Reading helps us to follow the latest development of science and technology. Reading also gives us information about other cultures and places of the world. Reading can benefit us in many ways. 1. When was World Reading Day set up？ 　 　 2. Who does World Reading Day honor？ 　 　 2. Which country celebrates World Reading Day on March 7th，the UK or China？ 　 3. How can people change the world according to Wen Jiabao？ 　 　 5.

Thanks to social media and young customers China is preferring to develop its own style，Chinese style. And there have been some achievements for the past few years. There is even a name for it：China-Chic. Maybe you have heard of it by chance. China-Chic is the result of young people's interests in Chinese culture and things. It’s reported that 68 percent of young Chinese，especially those between the ages of 20—25，say they prefer products made in China to those made abroad. They are now prouder of "Chinese style". A 25-year-old vlogger（视频博主）named Cai Qian spent 15 days making a golden mask，which is really similar to the ancient mask found at Sanxingdui site in Sichuan. His video has drawn over 11 million viewers. And later，he recreated another thing from the same 3，000-year-old site. This made him get over 7 million viewers again. One of the reasons why this is happening is the development of e-commerce（电子商务）and social media，which gives sellers a direct chance to communicate with their customers. Now people can learn about the Chinese styles and buy something which they are interested in easily. So，what is China-Chic，really？Well，it's bright and colorful. We will see more red and gold in China than in the fashion capitals of London，Paris and New York. And of course，there is the love of beauty which is deeply included in Chinese culture. 1. What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 1 refer to？ 　 　 2. Which group plays an important role in the development of China-Chic？ 　　 3.

After graduation，he joined the army and was sent to Yong'an Fire Station in Sanming City，Fujian. He went on thousands of rescue（营救） tasks and saved hundreds of people from fires with his team. Whenever the alarm bell went off，he was always the first to get out，jump onto the fire-fighting truck，and rush to the fire. On July 26，2004，the fire station suddenly sounded an alarm bell at 10：15—a fire broke out in a factory. During this rescue，Xie Xiaohui got 75 percent burns all over his body. The local hospital did its best to save Xie's life. To avoid infection（感染），some good skin（皮肤） was needed to put onto his body. There was not much good skin on his body，so the doctors had to “rob Peter to pay Paul”. After going through hundreds of operations in the following three years，he joined a cycling club in order to get well from the operations. Later，he set up a cycling team to spread fire safety knowledge by cycling around. His team trained nearly 5，500 people within three years as they tried to raise fire safety awareness（意识） among people. Xie said he didn't want to be treated differently as a hero，calling saving life the duty of a firefighter，and he could do more meaningful things. 1.

What do the underlined words"rob Peter to pay Paul"in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese？ 　 　 4. Why did he set up a cycling team？ 　　 5.

It arose in the late 18th century and has a history of more than two hundred years. Peking Opera which combines singing，dancing，acrobatics and martial arts is sung and recited using Beijing dialect. The music of Peking Opera plays a key role in setting the pace of the show，creating a particular atmosphere，shaping the characters，and guiding the progress of the stories. The art form has spread to many other countries and is enjoyed all around the world. Many children in China receive training in Peking Opera classes or practise Peking Opera. However，some artists still worry that Peking Opera is challenged by new forms of entertainment like many traditional art forms. They are trying to do something for Peking Opera. Tao Qingmei，a traditional arts scholar at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences，co-wrote the book The Marvelous Game with Guo Baochang. Guo，a film director，is a Peking Opera fan who has loved Jingju since he was a kid. It has been his long-time wish to write a book on Peking Opera. The boy on the new book cover is Guo Baochang's grandson. Guo and his grandson are playing a game by dressing up in roles from the classic Peking Opera piece，Shuang Bei Deng，which is a comedy. Tao and Guo spent years writing the book because they wanted to make it easy and fun for everyone. They hope young people will get to know more about Peking Opera and fall in love with it. Peking Opera is regarded as an expression of the aesthetic ideal of opera in the traditional Chinese society and remains a widely recognized element of the country's cultural heritage.

It tells a story of a mother raising her four daughters，while their dad is away fighting a war. Meg，the eldest，wants to live a better life very much. Jo，the second-born，wants nothing more than to be a writer. Beth is a sweet girl who loves music and always brings joy to others. The youngest daughter，Amy，dreams of being an artist. After reading Little Women，I have a feeling of warmth and kindness from the family. In the following scene，the girls talk about what they can buy with the very little money they have. They feel hopeful about the future even though their dreams may not come true. "I can't expect anything from mother or you. I know I only have one dollar with me. Although it isn't that much，it works. I can at least buy the book Undine and Sintran for myself. I've wanted it so long，"said Jo. "I planned to spend mine on new music，"said Beth. "I shall get a nice box of drawing pencils. I really need them，"said Amy. "Mother didn't say anything about our money，but she does wish us to get something. Let's each buy what we need.

It's easy to tell that kindness is very important. What is kindness then？To be exact，kindness is the quality of being friendly. If we give up our seats on the bus，help a classmate solve a math problem，or welcome a new member into a group activity，we are showing kindness. Actually，these acts are done without expectation of reward（回报）. We begin to realise that while helping others，we're in fact helping ourselves. Showing kindness benefits us in different ways. It helps us know about ourselves. It develops our problem-solving skills. It also gives us the chance to be thankful. We can never imagine the power of one simple act of kindness. It may change our day. And that day may change our week. That week may change the rest of the year—or even our whole life. In short，we rise by lifting others. Here are some teenagers' acts of kindness. Linda：I sat next to a new student at lunch. I was pleased because I made her day. Kayla：In order to raise money and protect wild animals，I held a singing competition. I was proud of it. Peter：I opened the door for an old lady. I felt happy because I could help other people. 1.

What do you think of Peter's act of kindness？Write 30 words or more. 　 Passage 14 Reading a good book is a wonderful journey because the reader can live in someone else's world for a while. Reading together with others，known as buddy（同伴） reading，will make this journey even more fantastic. During the journey，the buddies spend time doing a lot of reading activities. This not only adds to the pleasure of reading，but also deepens their understanding of the books. Although it is all right to have students join in buddy reading with same-aged schoolmates，schools usually pair up older students with younger ones. In 2021，Green School started such a program and has achieved a great success. Both younger and older readers in this school have learned a lot from this two-year program. For example，when they listened to each other，they learned to be kind and patient. This experience also provided them with a chance to practice lifelong skills such as exercising leadership or communicating with others. A student called Jason said that reading to a younger buddy was really helpful. He became more confident，as he knew he was a role model for someone. The school also became a closer community. The reading buddies felt more connected as they often met each other. The students were always excited when they saw their buddies pass by in the hallway. Now summer vacation is coming. It's a great time to get into books. Why not pair up with a friend and read a book together？ 1. What is buddy reading？ 　 　 2. How do schools usually pair up buddies？ 　 3. How long did the reading program in Green School last？ 　 4. Why did Jason think the program was helpful？ 　 5.

Some cities in China have included BMI in the PE test for the high school entrance examination，or zhongkao. For example，Beijing in 2021 announced that BMI officially became a subject of the PE test for the zhongkao. Chengdu and Shanghai have also started similar actions. Zhang Yanshu is a grade 8 student from Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School. He used to be overweight（超重的）. “It was this summer that I decided to work on my BMI，"Zhang said. He started by running with his dad，and soon took a stamina（体能） course which trained him for different things like running，pull-ups and so on. "I think BMI and the events for the exam go well together. When I practice the events，my BMI gets better；when my BMI gets better，I feel more energetic doing the events." Zhang also paid much attention to his diet. "I ate brown rice instead of white rice，and chicken for meat most of the time，" he said. "It was for sure sad." His BMI reached a normal level because of his great efforts. "My health and spirit have seen a big improvement." Chen Kaifei，14，also from Beijing said that BMI is also a problem for students who are too thin，and has caused some"figure anxiety（身材焦虑）"among students. "However，mostly I think it has a good effect，"Chen said. "Everyone has a better understanding of their body and health conditions，and I started to care about my diet and lifestyle every day，simply to keep my BMI at a good level." 1. What is BMI ? 　 2.
