It means spending some of our free time helping others without asking for anything in return. We can do different kinds of volunteer work in our daily life. Some students choose to help clean up parks, streets or public libraries. Others volunteer at old people’s homes, where they read newspapers, chat with the elderly or do some simple housework for them. Some also help look after homeless animals or raise money for poor children in far villages. Volunteering does not require much money or great skills. What we need is kindness and patience. When we help others, we can also learn a lot. We can learn to care about people around us, understand the meaning of giving and feel the happiness of helping. Some students worry that volunteer work will take up too much study time. In fact, we can do it on weekends or during holidays. Even several hours a month can make a big difference to someone in need. It not only helps others but also makes ourselves grow as better people. 1．What is volunteering according to the passage? 2．Where do some students volunteer to help? 3．What do we need most to be a volunteer? 4．When can we do volunteer work? 5．What can we learn from volunteering? 【答案】1．Helping others for free. 2．At old people’s homes. 3．Kindness and patience. 4．On weekends or holidays. 5．Caring and the joy of giving. 【导语】本文主要介绍了志愿服务的含义、可参与的志愿工作、成为志愿者所需的品质、做志愿的时间以及做志愿的收获。 1．第一段“It means spending some of our free time helping others without asking for anything in return.”明确说明了志愿者服务的含义，提炼核心信息即可。 2．第二段“Others volunteer at old people’s homes, where they read newspapers, chat with the elderly or do some simple housework for them.”说明了一些学生自愿帮忙的地点，直接提取地点即可。 3．第三段“What we need is kindness and patience.”明确指出成为志愿者最需要的是善意和耐心，直接提取。 4．最后一段“In fact, we can do it on weekends or during holidays.”指出了做志愿者工作的时间，直接提取。 5．倒数第二段“We can learn to care about people around us, understand the meaning of giving and feel the happiness of helping.”给出了做志愿者的收获，提炼核心得出答案。 Passage 2 阅读短文，掌握大意，并回答以下问题。 When Zhang Wei was a college student, he went to a remote mountain village for a teaching program. The village was poor and the school had only two classrooms. Many children had to walk two hours to get to school. Zhang Wei decided to stay there for two years. At first, the villagers didn’t trust him. They thought a young city boy wouldn’t understand their life. Some parents didn’t send their children to school because they needed them to work on the farm. Zhang Wei visited each family patiently. He explained the importance of education and promised to help with farm work after class. Slowly, the villagers began to trust him. The number of students grew from 15 to 40. Zhang Wei also raised money to buy books and computers for the school. He taught the children not only knowledge but also the value of dreams.

He decided to provide companionship to Mr. Wang, an 84-year-old man who lives alone in a nearby neighborhood. Every Saturday afternoon, Li Ming walks to Mr. Wang’s home, often bringing along a bag of fresh fruit bought on the way. During his visits, he helps with housework such as cleaning the floors, watering the plants on the balcony, and organizing items around the house — from tidying the bookshelf to sorting through old letters. Sometimes, he sits with Mr. Wang and reads newspapers aloud, focusing on news related to local events. At first, Li Ming felt a little nervous because he didn’t know how to start a conversation with the quiet elderly gentleman. However, as weeks passed, their weekly meetings turned into a warm friendship, filled with shared stories and growing trust. Li Ming says that this experience has changed him significantly. He used to play computer games late into the night, showing little interest in the world outside his screen. Now, he finds far greater satisfaction in doing something meaningful for someone else. “Seeing Mr Wang’s bright smile reminds me that even small acts of kindness are truly valuable,” Li Ming says. The Warm Heart Action shows students that helping others does not require extraordinary effort. Everyone can lend a hand in everyday life, and through these simple actions, we can make our community (社区) — and the world — a warmer and kinder place. 1．When does Li Ming go to Mr Wang’s home? 2．What are they interested in when reading newspapers? 3．How did Li Ming feel at first? 4．How did Li Ming use to spend most of his free time? 5．What small act of kindness can you do to make your community a warmer place? 【答案】1．Li Ming goes to Mr Wang’s home every Saturday afternoon. 2．They are interested in local events when reading newspapers. 3．He felt a little nervous at first. 4．He used to spend most of his free time playing computer games. 5．We can make our community a warmer place by helping old people in need. 【导语】本文主要讲述了学校“暖心互助行动”中，学生李明为84岁独居老人王爷爷提供陪伴服务，并在这一过程中收获成长与感悟的故事。 1．首段明确指出李明去王爷爷家的时间是“Every Saturday afternoon”。因此答案是原文直接信息。 2．首段末尾提到，他们读报时关注的是“news related to local events”。这是原文中的具体内容，直接提取。 3．第二段开头明确指出“At first, Li Ming felt a little nervous”。这是原文中的情感描述，直接提取。 4．第三段提到“He used to play computer games late into the night”，说明他过去大部分空闲时间都在玩电脑游戏。这是原文中的过去行为信息，直接提取。 5．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，但需围绕文中“small acts of kindness”的主题。结合文章内容和自身实际，合理作答即可。例如：We can make our community a warmer place by helping old people in need. Passage 4 阅读短文，掌握大意，并回答以下问题。 After the lunchtime rush, it’s time for the food delivery (递送) drivers to eat. Liu Lijie, halfway through the work, usually rides to a restaurant in Beijing for his favourite choice—mutton noodle soup, for 12 yuan, 6 yuan cheaper than the regular (常规的) price. The reduced-price meals, known as aixincan, are provided at some restaurants in large cities, home to large populations of migrant workers (农民工) who come looking for jobs. “Life isn’t easy after I came to Beijing to work. I prefer eating aixincan since it’s both cheap and convenient,” says Liu, who arrived in Beijing two years ago from Shanxi Province. Luo Shuai, another delivery driver, learned of Yushiji’s aixincan through his workmates and has become a daily customer at the restaurant, which serves food from his hometown, Henan. “It reminds me of my hometown,” says 27-year-old Luo. Feng Yong, the manager of a meat pie restaurant, says the restaurant began serving aixincan to help people in need and encourage others to do the same. As a person from Shandong who moved to Beijing, he has a deep understanding of being an outsider working in a new city. The key, he says, is to make all the customers in need feel at home.

The study lasted six months in ten middle schools. In the study, teachers used open body language, like standing straight, smiling, and keeping their arms relaxed. Students became more active in class. They put up hands more often and talked with teachers happily. When teachers frowned or sat with closed bodies, students kept quiet and seldom answered questions. They seemed less willing to join in. The study also found that students’ body language shows their feelings clearly. Those who sit up straight and look at the blackboard usually listen carefully. Students who lie on desks or look out of the window may feel bored or tired. Cross-cultural differences also appeared in the study. Western students like eye contact with teachers to show interest, while some Asian students avoid it to show respect. Researchers advise teachers to learn basic body language. It helps them understand students better and create a relaxing class environment. Good body language brings teachers and students closer and makes learning more enjoyable for everyone. A friendly smile or an encouraging look can make a big difference. 1．How did students react to teachers’ open body language? 2．What may students lying on desks feel? 3．Why do some Asian students avoid eye contact? 4．What can good body language create? 5．What is an example of open body language besides the ones mentioned in the article? 【答案】1．They became more active. 2．Bored or tired. 3．To show respect. 4．A relaxing class environment. 5．Nodding gently./Moving around the classroom. 【导语】本文主要讲述了牛津大学一项关于课堂肢体语言的研究，介绍肢体语言对课堂沟通的影响、师生不同肢体语言的含义、跨文化差异及相关建议。 1．第二段直接说明当老师使用开放肢体语言时，“Students became more active in class. They put up hands more often and talked with teachers happily.”，答案是原文直接信息。 2．第三段明确指出“Students who lie on desks or look out of the window may feel bored or tired.”，为原文具体信息，直接提取。 3．第四段给出原因：“while some Asian students avoid it to show respect.”，答案直接引用原文信息。 4．最后一段提到“Good body language brings teachers and students closer and makes learning more enjoyable for everyone.”以及“create a relaxing class environment”，答案是对该段信息的概括总结。 5．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，只需列举文中未提到的开放肢体语言即可，合理作答符合常识即可。 Passage 2 阅读短文，掌握大意，并回答以下问题。 People use body language almost every day. What is body language? How does it work? Want to speak with your body? Use body language! A “V” gesture shows happiness, victory or peace. Opening the mouth wide shows surprise. This is body language. When you speak with others, body language is important. Scientists say we do 65 percent of our communication with body language. For example, when you make faces, people think you are naughty (淘气的) or shy. Frowning (皱眉) shows you are angry. Sometimes your words say one thing, but your body language says another. For example, you touch your face while telling a lie. In different cultures, the same body language may have different meanings. Nodding your head in most countries means “Yes”. But in some parts of Greece and Turkey, it means “No”. Different body language can also mean the same thing. Take “hello” for example. The French like to kiss cheeks (脸颊) to say “hello”. But the Japanese bow (鞠躬). Maoris in New Zealand touch noses with each other when they meet. 1．What does the “V” gesture mean according to the text? 2．What body language means anger according to the text? 3．What does “nodding your head” mean in some parts of Greece and Turkey? 4．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? 5．What body language mentioned in the text is your favourite? Why? (write 30 words or more) 【答案】1．Happiness, victory or peace. 2．Frowning. 3．No. 4．Body language is important and it has different meanings in different cultures. 5．My favourite body language mentioned in the text is the “V” gesture, because this means happiness, victory or peace. Every time I take part in different kinds of competition, I will feel very nervous. However, when my parents show this body language to me to encourage me, I will be full of confidence. 【导语】本文主要介绍了肢体语言的含义、作用，以及它在不同文化中的差异，同时说明肢体语言在日常交流中占比很高。 1．第二段“A‘V’gesture shows happiness, victory or peace. ”，V手势代表“喜悦、胜利或和平”，直接提取三个要点。 2．第三段“Frowning (皱眉) shows you are angry.”，“皱眉”说明你生气了，直接提取动名词Frowning。 3．第四段“Nodding your head in most countries means‘Yes’. But in some parts of Greece and Turkey, it means‘No’.”，“点头”在希腊和土耳其的一些地区表示“不”的意思。直接提取No。 4．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，基于文章事实，合理概括文章主旨。可以结合文章的第三段首句“肢体语言很重要”和第四段“在不同的文化中，肢体语言有着不同的含义。”回答。 5．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，你可以选择第二段的“V”手势进行描述并结合自身实际说明原因。 Passage 3 阅读短文，掌握大意，并回答以下问题。 Cross-Cultural Body Language Misunderstandings and Solutions As the world becomes more interconnected, cross-cultural communication is increasingly common. Body language, as a key part of communication, often leads to misunderstandings if we ignore cultural differences. A friend of mine once had an embarrassing experience in the US. He met a local professor and avoided eye contact because in Chinese culture, it’s a sign of respect to look down when communicating with elders or superiors. However, the professor thought he was hiding something or lacking confidence. This is a typical example of how cultural differences in body language can cause misunderstandings. Another common case is the “OK” gesture. In many Western countries, it means “good” or “acceptable”, but in some countries like Brazil and Germany, it is considered impolite. Similarly, shaking hands is a universal greeting in most countries, but the strength and duration vary. A firm handshake is appreciated in the US, while a gentle handshake is more suitable in Japan. To avoid such misunderstandings, we should learn about the body language customs of different cultures before communicating with people from other countries. We can read books, search online, or consult people who have experience in cross-cultural communication. When in doubt, we can observe others’ body language and follow their example. By being aware of these differences, we can communicate more effectively and build better relationships with people from all over the world. 1．Why did the author’s friend avoid eye contact with the US professor? 2．What did the US professor think of the author’s friend’s behavior? 3．In which countries is the “OK” gesture considered impolite? 4．How does the handshake differ between the US and Japan? 5．What suggestions does the author give to avoid cross-cultural body language misunderstandings? 【答案】1．Because in Chinese culture, it’s a sign of respect to look down when communicating with elders or superiors. 2．He thought the author’s friend was hiding something or lacking confidence. 3．Brazil and Germany. 4．A firm handshake is appreciated in the US, while a gentle handshake is more suitable in Japan. 5．We should learn about the body language customs of different cultures before communicating, for example by reading books, searching online or consulting experienced people, and when in doubt, observe others’ body language and follow their example. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了跨文化交际中肢体语言的误解及其解决方案。 1．根据“He met a local professor and avoided eye contact because in Chinese culture, it’s a sign of respect to look down when communicating with elders or superiors.”可知，他在美国遇到一位当地教授时避免眼神接触，因为在中国文化中，与长辈或上级交流时低头是一种尊重的表现。故填Because in Chinese culture, it’s a sign of respect to look down when communicating with elders or superiors. 2．根据“However, the professor thought he was hiding something or lacking confidence.”可知，教授认为他是在隐瞒什么或缺乏自信。故填He thought the author’s friend was hiding something or lacking confidence. 3．根据“In many Western countries, it means ‘good’ or ‘acceptable’, but in some countries like Brazil and Germany, it is considered impolite.”可知，“OK”手势在巴西和德国是不礼貌的。故填Brazil and Germany. 4．根据“A firm handshake is appreciated in the US, while a gentle handshake is more suitable in Japan.”可知，在美国，有力的握手受到欢迎，而在日本，轻柔的握手更为合适。故填A firm handshake is appreciated in the US, while a gentle handshake is more suitable in Japan. 5．根据“To avoid such misunderstandings, we should learn about the body language customs of different cultures before communicating with people from other countries…When in doubt, we can observe others’ body language and follow their example.”可知，在交流之前，我们应该了解不同文化的肢体语言习惯，例如通过阅读书籍、网上搜索或咨询有经验的人，如有疑问，可以观察他人的肢体语言并效仿他们。故填We should learn about the body language customs of different cultures before communicating, for example by reading books, searching online or consulting experienced people, and when in doubt, observe others’ body language and follow their example. Passage 4 阅读短文，掌握大意，并回答以下问题。 How Body Language Influences Our Social Success Many people don’t realize that body language has a great impact on our social success. Whether it’s making friends, participating in activities, or even future career development, proper body language can give us an advantage. Confident body language is the key to making a good first impression. When meeting new people, standing tall, keeping a natural smile, and making eye contact for 3-5 seconds can show your confidence and friendliness. People are more likely to be drawn to those who display confident body language and are willing to establish connections with them. In social gatherings, active body language helps you integrate into the group quickly. For example, when others are talking, nodding to show agreement, using small gestures to express your opinions, and facing the group instead of turning away can make you look more approachable. On the other hand, people who fold their arms, stand alone in the corner, or avoid interacting with others through body language may be left out. Moreover, body language can also reflect our inner state. People with positive body language are often more optimistic and energetic, which can inspire those around them. In team activities, such body language can boost team morale and improve cooperation efficiency. Therefore, learning to use proper body language is essential for everyone who wants to achieve social success. 1．What is the key to making a good first impression according to the passage? 2．What confident body language can we use when meeting new people? 3．How can active body language help us in social gatherings? 4．What kind of body language may make people feel left out in social gatherings? 5．Why is proper body language essential for social success? 【答案】1．Confident body language. 2．Standing tall, keeping a natural smile, and making eye contact for 3-5 seconds. 3．It helps us integrate into the group quickly and makes us look more approachable. 4．Folding arms, standing alone in the corner, or avoiding interacting with others through body language. 5．It can give us an advantage in making friends, participating in activities, and even future career development. 【导语】本文主要介绍了肢体语言对社交成功的重要影响，详细阐述了如何通过自信、积极的肢体语言来建立良好的第一印象、快速融入集体以及提升团队效率。 1．根据“Confident body language is the key to making a good first impression.”可知，自信的肢体语言是建立良好第一印象的关键因素。故填Confident body language. 2．根据“When meeting new people, standing tall, keeping a natural smile, and making eye contact for 3-5 seconds can show your confidence and friendliness.”可知，在初次见面时，挺拔的站姿、自然的微笑以及3-5秒的眼神交流都是能够展示自信的肢体动作。故填Standing tall, keeping a natural smile, and making eye contact for 3-5 seconds. 3．根据“In social gatherings, active body language helps you integrate into the group quickly.”以及“…can make you look more approachable.”可知，积极的肢体语言能帮助人们迅速融入集体，并让人显得更具亲和力。故填It helps us integrate into the group quickly and makes us look more approachable. 4．根据“On the other hand, people who fold their arms, stand alone in the corner, or avoid interacting with others through body language may be left out.”可知，双臂交叉、独站角落或逃避互动的肢体信号会让人在社交聚会中感到被冷落。故填Folding arms, standing alone in the corner, or avoiding interacting with others through body language. 5．根据第“Whether it’s making friends, participating in activities, or even future career development, proper body language can give us an advantage.”可知，恰当的肢体语言在交友、参与社会活动乃至职业发展的各个方面都能为我们带来优势，因此对社交成功至关重要。故填It can give us an advantage in making friends, participating in activities, and even future career development. 话题3 动画与动漫、影视 Passage 1 请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题。 How do you feel before an important test?

Passage 2 请仔细阅读下面的文章，回答下列问题。 Have you ever seen Ne Zha 2, a film that stole hearts across the globe? Its total box office (票房) has reached over 14 billion since it hit the screen on January 29, 2025. Ne Zha 2 is more than just a movie-it shows how Chinese animation (动画) has grown. In the 1960s, China created a classical animated film, Havoc in Heaven. This movie was loved worldwide. However, for many years after that, Chinese animations lost their popularity. Things began to change in 2015 with Monkey King: Hero Is Back. This film earned 956 million yuan at the box office. It inspired filmmakers to create more high-quality works like White Snake, Big Fish & Begonia, and Jiang Ziya. These films put traditional Chinese stories together with modern technology, winning fans both at home and abroad. Ne Zha 2 retells a classic story in a fresh way. The story follows Ne Zha, a young hero who must choose between being a “fairy” or a “demon”. The movie includes powerful lines like, “If there’s no path ahead, I’ll make one myself!” This message about fighting against fate deeply resonates (共鸣) with young viewers. It’s believed that Ne Zha 2’s success comes from its high production quality, exciting storyline, well-designed characters, surprising visuals (视觉) and so on. Making Ne Zha 2 was a team effort. Over 130 companies worked together on the film, which shows the strength of China’s growing animation industry. However, challenges still exist. Most animated films in China face problems like limited budgets (预算) and technical difficulties. China has a rich history and countless traditional stories that can inspire animations. The success of Ne Zha 2 sets high standards for future films. Audiences now expect even better quality. With hard work and creativity, Chinese animation is ready to shine brighter on the global stage. 1．When did the movie Ne Zha 2 come out? 2．Were Chinese animations much-loved during the late 20th century? 3．Why did the Chinese animations like White Snake become popular around the world? 4．How many Chinese animated movies related to traditional stories are mentioned? 5．What do you think of the future of Chinese animation? 【答案】1．On January 29, 2025. 2．No, they were not. 3．Because they combined traditional Chinese stories with modern technology. 4．6/Six. 5．It has a bright future and will shine globally. 【导语】本文通过介绍《哪吒2》的票房成功、制作背景及其对中国动画产业的推动作用，展示了中国动画电影的崛起及其在全球范围内的影响力 1．根据“Its total box office (票房) has reached over 14 billion since it hit the screen on January 29, 2025.”可知，《哪吒2》于2025年1月29日上映。故填On January 29, 2025. 2．根据“However, for many years after that, Chinese animations lost their popularity.”可知，20世纪后期中国动画不再受欢迎。故填No, they were not. 3．根据“These films put traditional Chinese stories together with modern technology, winning fans both at home and abroad.”可知，这些电影将中国传统故事与现代技术结合，因此很受国内外粉丝的欢迎。故填Because they combined traditional Chinese stories with modern technology. 4．根据“Monkey King，Hero Is Back，White Snake，Big Fish & Begonia, and Jiang Ziya，及Ne Zha 2”可知，共6部。故填6/Six. 5．根据“Chinese animation is ready to shine brighter on the global stage.”可知，中国动画未来前景光明。故填It has a bright future and will shine globally. Passage 3 请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题，要求所写答案语法正确，语义完整切题。 Bringing back an old tradition From paper-cutting to shadow plays, from Chinese ink wash painting to Peking Opera, we see lots of different art styles in one animation series, Yao-Chinese Folktales (《中国奇谭》). With about 20-minute short stories, the series came out on Bilibili in January. It has become the newest big hit. It is made up of eight Chinese traditional stories. Each story is about a different Chinese yao. Yao are spirits that animals, plants and non-living things turn into. All the stories are deeply rooted in the hearts and memories of the Chinese people. Besides traditional Chinese art styles, the series also shows modern design. The team used 3D-to-2D animation. They also made the stories closer to modern people’s lives. For example, The Story of Nobody (《小妖怪的夏天》) comes from the famous Chinese novel Journey to the West. The story sets its eyes on a little pig spirit. His sad life makes people think of themselves as ordinary (平凡的) workers who are working hard to make a living, but never give up their dreams.

Leaf-vein embroidery dates back to the Song Dynasty. It has been used to send information by several ethnic groups (民族) in the southwestern region. Yang Li, an inheritor (传承人) of this skill, has brought together the traditional embroidery of the Miao, Tujia and Dong ethnic groups in the leaves. She also mixed traditional beauty with modern skill. Leaf-vein embroidery artwork is highly valued because it is difficult to make. The key steps cover picking and drying the leaves, then designing (设计) and embroidering the pattern (图案). Leaves from plants in the thick forests of the Fanjing Mountain area in Tongren provide the best material. After the leaves naturally soften in about 20 days, they are fumigated (熏蒸). Then patterns, with ideas from ancient stories and nature, are drawn on the veins. However, because leaf-vein embroidery needs long and hard work, it is not very easy to keep this traditional skill alive. “During my lifetime, I feel I have a duty (职责). I should do it better and pass on this skill.” Yang said. In 2022, Yang set up a training centre and has since shared leaf-vein embroidery through short videos with her student Yang Xinyu. “Leaf-vein embroidery is a treasure. As a young person influenced (影响) by my teacher Yang Li, I have kept on learning this skill and hope that more young people will return to their hometowns to carry on this skill.” Yang Xinyu said. 1．When did leaf-vein embroidery start? . 2．Who has brought together the traditional embroidery of several ethnic groups in the leaves? . 3．How long do the leaves naturally soften before fumigating? . 4．Why is it not very easy to keep leaf-vein embroidery alive? . 5．What do you think of leaf-vein embroidery according to the passage? . 【答案】1．In the Song Dynasty. 2．Yang Li. 3．About 20 days. 4．Because it needs long and hard work. 5．It’s a valuable skill.（答案不唯一，合理即可 ） 【导语】本文主要从历史渊源、工艺特色、传承现状三个方面介绍了贵州铜仁的叶脉绣技艺。 1．根据“Leaf-vein embroidery dates back to the Song Dynasty.”可知，叶脉绣始于宋代。故填In the Song Dynasty. 2．根据“Yang Li, an inheritor (传承人) of this skill, has brought together the traditional embroidery of the Miao, Tujia and Dong ethnic groups in the leaves.”可知，Yang Li把几个民族的传统刺绣汇集在叶子里。故填Yang Li. 3．根据“After the leaves naturally soften in about 20 days, they are fumigated (熏蒸). ”可知，叶子需要大约20天自然变软。故填About 20 days. 4．根据“However, because leaf-vein embroidery needs long and hard work, it is not very easy to keep this traditional skill alive.”可知，由于叶脉刺绣需要长时间和艰苦的工作，保持这一传统技能的生存不是很容易。故填Because it needs long and hard work. 5．根据“Leaf-vein embroidery artwork is highly valued because it is difficult to make.”可知，叶脉绣一项宝贵的技能。故填It’s a valuable skill.（此题为开放性试题，言之有理即可。） Passage 2 阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过5个单词。 Zhao Yue’s hands move quickly.

Passage 4 阅读短文，掌握大意，并根据短文内容回答以下问题。 Chinese bamboo weaving is a special traditional craft with thousands of years of history in southern China. Bamboo grows fast and is easy to cut, so ancient people learned to use it to make daily things early. Skilled craftsmen cut bamboo into thin and soft strips, then weave them into different objects by hand, such as baskets, mats, tea sets and small decorative toys. Each piece needs careful control and rich experience, making it full of the warmth of handwork. In the past, bamboo weaving products were necessary in everyday life. Farmers used bamboo baskets to carry crops and families put food in bamboo containers to keep it fresh. As time went by, this old craft was less used in modern life and some young people even knew little about it. To save the skill, local governments build experience centres and hold weaving lessons for students. Some designers also turn simple bamboo works into creative gifts with modern looks. Now bamboo weaving is not only a daily tool but also a cultural symbol. More tourists come to learn basic weaving skills in local villages, and lovely bamboo works are sold to many foreign countries.

In 2025, she joined a program called the Happy Weight-loss Challenge. The month-long program started in early April. It promised a reward (奖励) of 1,000 yuan for anyone who lost over 2.5 kilograms by the end of April. Kelly changed her eating habits and ate light meals. Over the month, she lost 5 kilograms and became slimmer. However, she faced a problem. The fast weight loss caused low blood sugar, so Kelly sometimes felt weak (虚弱的). She realized that this way was not always healthy, but the challenge gave her a clear goal—to make daily exercise part of her life. Kelly took part in the challenge not for money or beauty but for her health. Many people in the program felt the same way. Ms Wang, an engineer who lost 3 kilograms, said, “I don’t just want to look thin. I want to feel good and be healthy.” Following this idea, many schools and communities in China are organizing similar activities. They teach people how to eat healthily and exercise safely. These efforts (努力) are a good answer to China’s Weight Management Year plan. The plan started in 2024 and goes on for three years. It helps people manage their weight and live a healthier life. 1．What reward did the program promise? 2．What was wrong with Kelly after the program? 3．Why did Kelly take part in the challenge? 4．What do many schools and communities teach people? 5．What can you do to keep fit as a middle school student? (答案须与文中例子不同) 【答案】1．1,000 yuan. 2．She sometimes felt weak (because the fast weight loss caused low blood sugar). 3．She took part in the challenge for her health. / To stay healthy. 4．They teach people how to eat healthily and exercise safely. / How to eat healthily and exercise safely. 5．I can eat more fruit and vegetables. / I can walk or ride a bike to school every day. / I can go to bed early and sleep well. /… 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了Kelly参加“快乐减肥挑战”项目的经历、遇到的问题，以及中国许多学校和社区通过类似活动推广健康饮食和安全锻炼，以响应国家体重管理计划。 1．第一段第四句指出“It promised a reward of 1,000 yuan”，这直接说明了项目承诺的奖励是1000元。 2．第二段第三、四句指出“The fast weight loss caused low blood sugar, so Kelly sometimes felt weak”，这直接说明Kelly在项目后出现了低血糖和有时感到虚弱的问题。 3．第三段第一句指出“Kelly took part in the challenge not for money or beauty but for her health”，这明确说明她参赛是为了健康。 4．第四段第二句指出“They teach people how to eat healthily and exercise safely”，这直接说明许多学校和社区教授人们如何健康饮食和安全锻炼。 5．本题为开放性问题。文中已提及“改变饮食习惯”和“锻炼”的例子，因此需提供不同的建议。结合中学生实际情况，保证充足睡眠、减少屏幕时间等都是合理的保持健康的方法。答案不唯一。 Passage 3 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 How to Exercise Safely Exercising is good for health, but doing it incorrectly can cause injuries. Here are some tips to exercise safely. Warm up before exercising. Warm-up exercises like stretching can increase blood flow to your muscles. This makes your body ready for exercise and reduces the risk of injury. Spend 5-10 minutes warming up. Choose the right exercise. If you’re new to exercise, start with low-intensity sports like walking or yoga. Don’t try difficult exercises at first—you may hurt yourself. As you get stronger, you can gradually increase the intensity. Don’t overdo it. Exercising for too long or too hard can be harmful. Listen to your body. If you feel tired or have pain, stop and rest. It’s better to exercise for 30 minutes a day, five days a week, than to exercise for three hours once a week. Cool down after exercising. After exercise, your muscles are tight. Cool-down exercises like gentle stretching can help your muscles relax. This reduces soreness the next day. 1．Why is warming up before exercising important? 2．What kind of exercises should beginners choose? 3．How long and how often should we exercise according to the passage? 4．What should you do if you feel tired or have pain during exercise? 5．What is the purpose of cooling down after exercising? 【答案】1．Because it can increase blood flow to the muscles, make the body ready for exercise and reduce the risk of injury. 2．Low-intensity sports like walking or yoga. 3．For 30 minutes a day, five days a week. 4．Stop and rest. 5．To help the muscles relax and reduce soreness the next day. 【导语】本文主要围绕如何安全锻炼这一主题，给出了四条实用建议：锻炼前热身、选择合适的运动、避免运动过量、锻炼后放松，旨在帮助人们在锻炼时规避受伤风险，更健康地进行运动。 1．根据“Warm-up exercises like stretching can increase blood flow to your muscles. This makes your body ready for exercise and reduces the risk of injury.”可知，像拉伸这类热身运动能够促进肌肉的血液流动，让身体为锻炼做好准备，还能降低受伤风险。故填Because it can increase blood flow to the muscles, make the body ready for exercise and reduce the risk of injury. 2．根据“If you’re new to exercise, start with low-intensity sports like walking or yoga.”可知，如果你是运动新手，可以从散步、瑜伽这类低强度运动开始。故填Low-intensity sports like walking or yoga. 3．根据“It’s better to exercise for 30 minutes a day, five days a week, than to exercise for three hours once a week.”可知，每周锻炼五天、每天锻炼30分钟，比一次锻炼3小时要好得多。故填For 30 minutes a day, five days a week. 4．根据“If you feel tired or have pain, stop and rest.”可知，如果你感到疲惫或者身体出现疼痛，就停下来休息。故填Stop and rest. 5．根据“Cool-down exercises like gentle stretching can help your muscles relax. This reduces soreness the next day.”可知，像舒缓拉伸这类放松运动有助于肌肉放松，还能减轻第二天的肌肉酸痛感。故填To help the muscles relax and reduce soreness the next day.

It means spending some of our free time helping others without asking for anything in return. We can do different kinds of volunteer work in our daily life. Some students choose to help clean up parks, streets or public libraries. Others volunteer at old people’s homes, where they read newspapers, chat with the elderly or do some simple housework for them. Some also help look after homeless animals or raise money for poor children in far villages. Volunteering does not require much money or great skills. What we need is kindness and patience. When we help others, we can also learn a lot. We can learn to care about people around us, understand the meaning of giving and feel the happiness of helping. Some students worry that volunteer work will take up too much study time. In fact, we can do it on weekends or during holidays. Even several hours a month can make a big difference to someone in need. It not only helps others but also makes ourselves grow as better people. 1．What is volunteering according to the passage? 2．Where do some students volunteer to help? 3．What do we need most to be a volunteer? 4．When can we do volunteer work? 5．What can we learn from volunteering? Passage 2 阅读短文，掌握大意，并回答以下问题。 When Zhang Wei was a college student, he went to a remote mountain village for a teaching program. The village was poor and the school had only two classrooms. Many children had to walk two hours to get to school. Zhang Wei decided to stay there for two years. At first, the villagers didn’t trust him. They thought a young city boy wouldn’t understand their life. Some parents didn’t send their children to school because they needed them to work on the farm. Zhang Wei visited each family patiently. He explained the importance of education and promised to help with farm work after class. Slowly, the villagers began to trust him. The number of students grew from 15 to 40. Zhang Wei also raised money to buy books and computers for the school. He taught the children not only knowledge but also the value of dreams. Now, Zhang Wei has left the village, but he still keeps in touch with the students. Some of them have gone to college. Zhang Wei says, “The two years changed my life. I learned that true help comes from the heart.” 1．What did Zhang Wei do in the mountain village? 2．Why didn’t some parents send their children to school at first? 3．How did Zhang Wei win the villagers’ trust? 4．How many students were there in the school at last? 5．What did Zhang Wei learn from his experience? Passage 3 学校校报记者采访了参与“暖心互助行动”的学生代表李明，以下是采访内容。请从下面短文中提取一些关键信息，为校报的报道做准备。 Last month, Li Ming joined the school’s Warm Heart Action, a volunteer program that encourages students to help people in need. He decided to provide companionship to Mr. Wang, an 84-year-old man who lives alone in a nearby neighborhood. Every Saturday afternoon, Li Ming walks to Mr. Wang’s home, often bringing along a bag of fresh fruit bought on the way. During his visits, he helps with housework such as cleaning the floors, watering the plants on the balcony, and organizing items around the house — from tidying the bookshelf to sorting through old letters. Sometimes, he sits with Mr. Wang and reads newspapers aloud, focusing on news related to local events. At first, Li Ming felt a little nervous because he didn’t know how to start a conversation with the quiet elderly gentleman. However, as weeks passed, their weekly meetings turned into a warm friendship, filled with shared stories and growing trust. Li Ming says that this experience has changed him significantly. He used to play computer games late into the night, showing little interest in the world outside his screen. Now, he finds far greater satisfaction in doing something meaningful for someone else. “Seeing Mr Wang’s bright smile reminds me that even small acts of kindness are truly valuable,” Li Ming says. The Warm Heart Action shows students that helping others does not require extraordinary effort. Everyone can lend a hand in everyday life, and through these simple actions, we can make our community (社区) — and the world — a warmer and kinder place. 1．When does Li Ming go to Mr Wang’s home? 2．What are they interested in when reading newspapers? 3．How did Li Ming feel at first? 4．How did Li Ming use to spend most of his free time? 5．What small act of kindness can you do to make your community a warmer place? Passage 4 阅读短文，掌握大意，并回答以下问题。 After the lunchtime rush, it’s time for the food delivery (递送) drivers to eat. Liu Lijie, halfway through the work, usually rides to a restaurant in Beijing for his favourite choice—mutton noodle soup, for 12 yuan, 6 yuan cheaper than the regular (常规的) price. The reduced-price meals, known as aixincan, are provided at some restaurants in large cities, home to large populations of migrant workers (农民工) who come looking for jobs. “Life isn’t easy after I came to Beijing to work. I prefer eating aixincan since it’s both cheap and convenient,” says Liu, who arrived in Beijing two years ago from Shanxi Province. Luo Shuai, another delivery driver, learned of Yushiji’s aixincan through his workmates and has become a daily customer at the restaurant, which serves food from his hometown, Henan. “It reminds me of my hometown,” says 27-year-old Luo. Feng Yong, the manager of a meat pie restaurant, says the restaurant began serving aixincan to help people in need and encourage others to do the same. As a person from Shandong who moved to Beijing, he has a deep understanding of being an outsider working in a new city. The key, he says, is to make all the customers in need feel at home. The staff (员工) do what they can to offer help and don’t ask any personal things of the customers. “We don’t refuse them anything, just as long as they’re full,” Feng says. 1．What does Liu Lijie usually have for his lunch in Beijing? 2．Why does Liu Lijie like eating aixincan when he works in Beijing? 3．What makes Luo Shuai homesick? 4．What does Feng Yong think is important when serving aixincan for customers? 5．If you’re a restaurant owner, which groups of people will you provide aixincan for? Why? 话题2 肢体语言 Passage 1 学校将举办“肢体语言与课堂沟通”主题宣讲活动，帮助同学们了解肢体语言对课堂互动的影响。请从下列文章中提取一些关键信息，为本次主题活动的介绍做准备。 Body Language in Class A study from Oxford University shows that body language influences class communication a lot. The study lasted six months in ten middle schools. In the study, teachers used open body language, like standing straight, smiling, and keeping their arms relaxed. Students became more active in class. They put up hands more often and talked with teachers happily. When teachers frowned or sat with closed bodies, students kept quiet and seldom answered questions. They seemed less willing to join in. The study also found that students’ body language shows their feelings clearly. Those who sit up straight and look at the blackboard usually listen carefully. Students who lie on desks or look out of the window may feel bored or tired. Cross-cultural differences also appeared in the study. Western students like eye contact with teachers to show interest, while some Asian students avoid it to show respect. Researchers advise teachers to learn basic body language. It helps them understand students better and create a relaxing class environment. Good body language brings teachers and students closer and makes learning more enjoyable for everyone. A friendly smile or an encouraging look can make a big difference. 1．How did students react to teachers’ open body language? 2．What may students lying on desks feel? 3．Why do some Asian students avoid eye contact? 4．What can good body language create? 5．What is an example of open body language besides the ones mentioned in the article? Passage 2 阅读短文，掌握大意，并回答以下问题。 People use body language almost every day. What is body language? How does it work? Want to speak with your body? Use body language! A “V” gesture shows happiness, victory or peace. Opening the mouth wide shows surprise. This is body language. When you speak with others, body language is important. Scientists say we do 65 percent of our communication with body language. For example, when you make faces, people think you are naughty (淘气的) or shy. Frowning (皱眉) shows you are angry. Sometimes your words say one thing, but your body language says another. For example, you touch your face while telling a lie. In different cultures, the same body language may have different meanings. Nodding your head in most countries means “Yes”. But in some parts of Greece and Turkey, it means “No”. Different body language can also mean the same thing. Take “hello” for example. The French like to kiss cheeks (脸颊) to say “hello”. But the Japanese bow (鞠躬). Maoris in New Zealand touch noses with each other when they meet. 1．What does the “V” gesture mean according to the text? 2．What body language means anger according to the text? 3．What does “nodding your head” mean in some parts of Greece and Turkey? 4．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? 5．What body language mentioned in the text is your favourite? Why? (write 30 words or more) Passage 3 阅读短文，掌握大意，并回答以下问题。 Cross-Cultural Body Language Misunderstandings and Solutions As the world becomes more interconnected, cross-cultural communication is increasingly common. Body language, as a key part of communication, often leads to misunderstandings if we ignore cultural differences. A friend of mine once had an embarrassing experience in the US. He met a local professor and avoided eye contact because in Chinese culture, it’s a sign of respect to look down when communicating with elders or superiors. However, the professor thought he was hiding something or lacking confidence. This is a typical example of how cultural differences in body language can cause misunderstandings. Another common case is the “OK” gesture. In many Western countries, it means “good” or “acceptable”, but in some countries like Brazil and Germany, it is considered impolite. Similarly, shaking hands is a universal greeting in most countries, but the strength and duration vary. A firm handshake is appreciated in the US, while a gentle handshake is more suitable in Japan. To avoid such misunderstandings, we should learn about the body language customs of different cultures before communicating with people from other countries. We can read books, search online, or consult people who have experience in cross-cultural communication. When in doubt, we can observe others’ body language and follow their example. By being aware of these differences, we can communicate more effectively and build better relationships with people from all over the world. 1．Why did the author’s friend avoid eye contact with the US professor? 2．What did the US professor think of the author’s friend’s behavior? 3．In which countries is the “OK” gesture considered impolite? 4．How does the handshake differ between the US and Japan? 5．What suggestions does the author give to avoid cross-cultural body language misunderstandings? Passage 4 阅读短文，掌握大意，并回答以下问题。 How Body Language Influences Our Social Success Many people don’t realize that body language has a great impact on our social success. Whether it’s making friends, participating in activities, or even future career development, proper body language can give us an advantage. Confident body language is the key to making a good first impression. When meeting new people, standing tall, keeping a natural smile, and making eye contact for 3-5 seconds can show your confidence and friendliness. People are more likely to be drawn to those who display confident body language and are willing to establish connections with them. In social gatherings, active body language helps you integrate into the group quickly. For example, when others are talking, nodding to show agreement, using small gestures to express your opinions, and facing the group instead of turning away can make you look more approachable. On the other hand, people who fold their arms, stand alone in the corner, or avoid interacting with others through body language may be left out. Moreover, body language can also reflect our inner state. People with positive body language are often more optimistic and energetic, which can inspire those around them. In team activities, such body language can boost team morale and improve cooperation efficiency. Therefore, learning to use proper body language is essential for everyone who wants to achieve social success. 1．What is the key to making a good first impression according to the passage? 2．What confident body language can we use when meeting new people? 3．How can active body language help us in social gatherings? 4．What kind of body language may make people feel left out in social gatherings? 5．Why is proper body language essential for social success? 话题3 动画与动漫、影视 Passage 1 请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题。 How do you feel before an important test? Have you ever thought about what happens in your mind at that time? The new movie, Inside Out 2, explores this idea! It’s about the mental (心理的) health of teenagers. The movie is popular and loved by both kids and adults. In this movie, Riley, the main character, faces new challenges as she grows up. She has several “secret partners” in her mind. They are Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust. They work together to help Riley go through the changes in her life, such as making new friends and dealing with school pressure. Once, Riley and her two old friends took a training course in a famous hockey camp. During the training, Riley was so eager to make new friends that she forgot about her old friends. Her old friends were very sad about that. Then, they had some problems with Riley. Soon Riley felt worried. Just in time, the “secret partners” in her mind came. They encouraged Riley to tell her true feelings bravely and say sorry to her old friends. After that, they became happy again. Although Riley still has some problems in her life, she can accept all kinds of her feelings now. The movie Inside Out 2 has great educational value. It shows that although feelings are complicated, they are common and natural to everyone. We should accept and express our feelings in a proper way. 1．What is the new movie Inside Out 2 about according to the passage? 2．How many “secret partners” are there in Riley’s mind in Paragraph 3? 3．Why did Riley forget about her old friends during the training? 4．What did Riley’s “secret partners” encourage her to do? 5．How can we deal with our feelings according to the last paragraph? Passage 2 请仔细阅读下面的文章，回答下列问题。 Have you ever seen Ne Zha 2, a film that stole hearts across the globe? Its total box office (票房) has reached over 14 billion since it hit the screen on January 29, 2025. Ne Zha 2 is more than just a movie-it shows how Chinese animation (动画) has grown. In the 1960s, China created a classical animated film, Havoc in Heaven. This movie was loved worldwide. However, for many years after that, Chinese animations lost their popularity. Things began to change in 2015 with Monkey King: Hero Is Back. This film earned 956 million yuan at the box office. It inspired filmmakers to create more high-quality works like White Snake, Big Fish & Begonia, and Jiang Ziya. These films put traditional Chinese stories together with modern technology, winning fans both at home and abroad. Ne Zha 2 retells a classic story in a fresh way. The story follows Ne Zha, a young hero who must choose between being a “fairy” or a “demon”. The movie includes powerful lines like, “If there’s no path ahead, I’ll make one myself!” This message about fighting against fate deeply resonates (共鸣) with young viewers. It’s believed that Ne Zha 2’s success comes from its high production quality, exciting storyline, well-designed characters, surprising visuals (视觉) and so on. Making Ne Zha 2 was a team effort. Over 130 companies worked together on the film, which shows the strength of China’s growing animation industry. However, challenges still exist. Most animated films in China face problems like limited budgets (预算) and technical difficulties. China has a rich history and countless traditional stories that can inspire animations. The success of Ne Zha 2 sets high standards for future films. Audiences now expect even better quality. With hard work and creativity, Chinese animation is ready to shine brighter on the global stage. 1．When did the movie Ne Zha 2 come out? 2．Were Chinese animations much-loved during the late 20th century? 3．Why did the Chinese animations like White Snake become popular around the world? 4．How many Chinese animated movies related to traditional stories are mentioned? 5．What do you think of the future of Chinese animation?

With about 20-minute short stories, the series came out on Bilibili in January. It has become the newest big hit. It is made up of eight Chinese traditional stories. Each story is about a different Chinese yao. Yao are spirits that animals, plants and non-living things turn into. All the stories are deeply rooted in the hearts and memories of the Chinese people. Besides traditional Chinese art styles, the series also shows modern design. The team used 3D-to-2D animation. They also made the stories closer to modern people’s lives. For example, The Story of Nobody (《小妖怪的夏天》) comes from the famous Chinese novel Journey to the West. The story sets its eyes on a little pig spirit. His sad life makes people think of themselves as ordinary (平凡的) workers who are working hard to make a living, but never give up their dreams. They are always looking for the good, the true and the beautiful. It has something in common with many young people. People are willing to see different styles. Yao-Chinese Folktales shows China’s 5,000-year history and culture to the world. It’s amazing! 1．How long does each story last? 2．Where did the Yao-Chinese Folktales come out in January? 3．How many stories are there in the series? 4．What is each story about? 5．Which novel does The Story of Nobody come from?

Leaf-vein embroidery dates back to the Song Dynasty. It has been used to send information by several ethnic groups (民族) in the southwestern region. Yang Li, an inheritor (传承人) of this skill, has brought together the traditional embroidery of the Miao, Tujia and Dong ethnic groups in the leaves. She also mixed traditional beauty with modern skill. Leaf-vein embroidery artwork is highly valued because it is difficult to make. The key steps cover picking and drying the leaves, then designing (设计) and embroidering the pattern (图案). Leaves from plants in the thick forests of the Fanjing Mountain area in Tongren provide the best material. After the leaves naturally soften in about 20 days, they are fumigated (熏蒸). Then patterns, with ideas from ancient stories and nature, are drawn on the veins. However, because leaf-vein embroidery needs long and hard work, it is not very easy to keep this traditional skill alive. “During my lifetime, I feel I have a duty (职责). I should do it better and pass on this skill.” Yang said. In 2022, Yang set up a training centre and has since shared leaf-vein embroidery through short videos with her student Yang Xinyu. “Leaf-vein embroidery is a treasure. As a young person influenced (影响) by my teacher Yang Li, I have kept on learning this skill and hope that more young people will return to their hometowns to carry on this skill.” Yang Xinyu said. 1．When did leaf-vein embroidery start? . 2．Who has brought together the traditional embroidery of several ethnic groups in the leaves? . 3．How long do the leaves naturally soften before fumigating? . 4．Why is it not very easy to keep leaf-vein embroidery alive? . 5．What do you think of leaf-vein embroidery according to the passage? . Passage 2 阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过5个单词。 Zhao Yue’s hands move quickly. She is working on a picture of bamboo. “I love paper-cutting,” she says. “You don’t need much to start working—just a pair of scissors or a knife and some paper. Anyone can try it,” she adds.

Guilhem Bouissou, a young man from France, has spent more than ten years in learning Dongyang woodcarving since he came to the city. In 2012, Bouissou visited Hangzhou’s Leifeng Tower. He was excited and surprised by Dongyang woodcarving’s techniques. Lu Tingfeng is a woodcarving master who took part in creating the artwork in the Leifeng Tower. Through a friend’s introduction, Bouissou began learning woodcarving from him. “He is full of imagination, which is important for art making. Woodcarving is just a way to make artworks, and artistic ideas are the soul,” said Lu. Bouissou’s way is different from local artists. He prefers a natural method, resulting in unusual creations. Bouissou’s woodcarving joins Eastern and Western art together, like the Beijing opera face carvings in his studio. Bouissou has lived in Dongyang for more than 10 years so far. He has gradually developed a love for the city’s rich culture. Looking ahead, he says he plans to improve his understanding of Chinese arts and culture. He also hopes to share Dongyang woodcarving in France, making it serve as a cultural bridge between East and West. 1．How did Guilhem Bouissou begin learning woodcarving from Lu Tingfeng? 2．What is important for art making according to Lu Tingfeng? 3．What does Bouissou plan to do in the future? 4．What role does Bouissou hope Dongyang woodcarving can play in France? 5．If you have a chance, what do you want to learn about traditional Chinese culture like woodcarving? Why? Passage 4 阅读短文，掌握大意，并根据短文内容回答以下问题。 Chinese bamboo weaving is a special traditional craft with thousands of years of history in southern China. Bamboo grows fast and is easy to cut, so ancient people learned to use it to make daily things early. Skilled craftsmen cut bamboo into thin and soft strips, then weave them into different objects by hand, such as baskets, mats, tea sets and small decorative toys. Each piece needs careful control and rich experience, making it full of the warmth of handwork. In the past, bamboo weaving products were necessary in everyday life. Farmers used bamboo baskets to carry crops and families put food in bamboo containers to keep it fresh. As time went by, this old craft was less used in modern life and some young people even knew little about it. To save the skill, local governments build experience centres and hold weaving lessons for students. Some designers also turn simple bamboo works into creative gifts with modern looks. Now bamboo weaving is not only a daily tool but also a cultural symbol. More tourists come to learn basic weaving skills in local villages, and lovely bamboo works are sold to many foreign countries. This common but great craft shows the wisdom of Chinese people in using natural materials and is becoming a new star of Chinese cultural heritage. 1．What is special about the material of Chinese bamboo weaving? 2．How do craftsmen make bamboo weaving products according to the passage? 3．Why was bamboo weaving widely used in the past? 4．What actions are taken to protect bamboo weaving craft today? 5．As a middle school student, what can you do to help protect and spread traditional bamboo weaving craft?

But what does “going green” mean? It means taking small actions every day to reduce waste, save energy and protect the environment at school. There are many bad behaviours we can often see at school. Some students leave the lights on when they leave the classroom. Some throw away half-eaten food in the dining hall. Some use only one side of the paper, and throw it away after using. Some buy bottled water every day, and throw the bottles away after drinking. These behaviours waste a lot of energy and resources, and they are bad for the environment. So what can we do to make our school greener? First, we should save energy. We should turn off the lights, fans and computers when we leave the classroom. Second, we should reduce waste. We should use both sides of the paper, and try not to use disposable bottles or chopsticks. We should finish all the food we take in the dining hall, to reduce food waste. Third, we can start a recycling programme at school. We can put different bins in the classroom to collect waste paper, plastic bottles and cans. We can also start a secondhand book corner, so students can exchange their old books with others. Going green at school is easy and meaningful. Every small action we take can help protect the earth.

It promised a reward (奖励) of 1,000 yuan for anyone who lost over 2.5 kilograms by the end of April. Kelly changed her eating habits and ate light meals. Over the month, she lost 5 kilograms and became slimmer. However, she faced a problem. The fast weight loss caused low blood sugar, so Kelly sometimes felt weak (虚弱的). She realized that this way was not always healthy, but the challenge gave her a clear goal—to make daily exercise part of her life. Kelly took part in the challenge not for money or beauty but for her health. Many people in the program felt the same way. Ms Wang, an engineer who lost 3 kilograms, said, “I don’t just want to look thin. I want to feel good and be healthy.” Following this idea, many schools and communities in China are organizing similar activities. They teach people how to eat healthily and exercise safely. These efforts (努力) are a good answer to China’s Weight Management Year plan. The plan started in 2024 and goes on for three years.

(答案须与文中例子不同) Passage 3 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 How to Exercise Safely Exercising is good for health, but doing it incorrectly can cause injuries. Here are some tips to exercise safely. Warm up before exercising. Warm-up exercises like stretching can increase blood flow to your muscles. This makes your body ready for exercise and reduces the risk of injury. Spend 5-10 minutes warming up. Choose the right exercise. If you’re new to exercise, start with low-intensity sports like walking or yoga. Don’t try difficult exercises at first—you may hurt yourself. As you get stronger, you can gradually increase the intensity. Don’t overdo it. Exercising for too long or too hard can be harmful. Listen to your body. If you feel tired or have pain, stop and rest. It’s better to exercise for 30 minutes a day, five days a week, than to exercise for three hours once a week. Cool down after exercising. After exercise, your muscles are tight. Cool-down exercises like gentle stretching can help your muscles relax. This reduces soreness the next day. 1．Why is warming up before exercising important? 2．What kind of exercises should beginners choose? 3．How long and how often should we exercise according to the passage? 4．What should you do if you feel tired or have pain during exercise? 5．What is the purpose of cooling down after exercising?
