It not only helps us improve our language skills and enlarge our vocabulary, but also opens our eyes to the outside world.”，作者指出阅读可以提升语言能力、扩大词汇量、开阔眼界，说明阅读对人十分有益，所以作者认为阅读是有用的。 62．文章第2段“Some students enjoy reading fiction books, such as novels, storybooks and adventure works.”画线词“fiction”后举例为小说、故事书、冒险作品，后文将记录真实内容的非虚构类书籍与之对比，可推知“fiction”指小说类作品。 63．文章第2段提到“Other students prefer non-fiction books, which tell true stories, real history and useful facts. From science books to history books, we can learn much useful knowledge that we can hardly get in our daily class.”，明确说明非虚构类书籍讲述真实故事、真实历史和有用事实，可从中获得课堂上学不到的有用知识。 64．文章第3段提到“In fact, we don’t need to spend hours reading every day.

For middle school students, choosing a good read and developing good reading habits is of great importance. First of all, we should choose suitable and meaningful books. History books help us learn about the past and understand the world better. Classic novels teach us about life, courage and honesty. Science books open our eyes to the amazing nature and modern technology. We’d better stay away from bad books that are meaningless or harmful. Secondly, we need to have the right ways to read. For helpful books, we should read carefully and take notes. For storybooks, we can read quickly to enjoy the plots. We can also underline good sentences or write down our ideas while reading. Many students say they are too busy with homework to read. In fact, we can manage to find some time. We can read for fifteen minutes before bed, or on the way to school. Keeping reading for twenty minutes every day will make a great difference. Reading not only improves our vocabulary and writing skills, but also shapes our mind.

Online tours have many clear advantages. First, they save much time and money. We don’t need to buy tickets or spend long hours on the way. Second, we can visit any place at any time we like.

It has developed from a small fishing town into a world-famous international city over hundreds of years. Hundreds of years ago, Shanghai was just a small and quiet fishing village. Most people made a living by fishing and farming. The houses were low and simple. The streets were narrow and there were almost no tall buildings. People travelled mainly on foot or by boat. Life was slow and simple. In the 19th century, Shanghai started to grow rapidly. It became an important business city. Many foreign companies came here and new buildings appeared. The city began to develop into a busy trading centre. In recent years, Shanghai has changed completely. It has turned into a modern and amazing city with tall skyscrapers, wide roads and convenient transport. The underground system runs all over the city. People can travel by bus, car, high-speed train and even plane easily. Modern technology has made people’s daily life more convenient. Shanghai is also a city with rich culture. It has old gardens, traditional streets and modern theatres. It mixes Eastern and Western cultures well. Every year, millions of tourists from all over the world visit Shanghai to enjoy its beauty and special culture.

By combining technology with culture and history, they help us learn in a lively and interesting way. When we take an online tour, we can get close to places we can only read about in books. We can look closely at old buildings, works of art and special relics, and read detailed introductions at the same time. This helps us understand cultural knowledge better and improves our reading skills naturally. Before an online tour, we can read passages about the place to prepare. During the tour, we can take simple notes about important information. After the tour, we can write a short report or share what we have learned, just like we do after reading a good book. Online tours also help us form good learning habits. They teach us to be careful, curious and willing to explore. We can learn about history, culture and foreign countries without going out, and this makes us more interested in reading and studying. In short, online tours and reading are like two great helpers in our learning.

First, we visited the Palace Museum in Beijing, the ancient home of Chinese emperors. On the website, we enjoyed clear pictures of wonderful buildings, valuable treasures and classic paintings. The online guide introduced its long history and interesting stories in a lively way, making us feel like we were really walking through the halls. After that, we visited the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. We enjoyed its tall and beautiful shape, especially the amazing night views with bright lights. We also learned about its special culture and long history through the videos and introductions. Online tours are not only cheap and convenient but also full of fun.

She noticed some changes in China’s payment services for foreigners. When she first came to China, it was not easy to connect a foreign bank card to Chinese payment platforms (平台). It was also difficult for her to pay with her credit card in many stores, so she had to exchange (兑换) her pounds into RMB each time. She visited China again recently and was amazed to find many changes. She no longer needs to worry about paying for things. In China,people pay with their mobile phones almost everywhere. Now it only takes less than two minutes to bind a foreign bank card to some payment apps. Many foreign e-wallets can be used in China now.

(10) “Going on holiday with blind people opens your eyes,” says Wendy Coley. She often goes on tours with Travel Eyes, a company that takes tourists travelling around the world. For each tour, half of the people can see and half can’t. A person who can see travels with a person who can’t. The world is there for sighted (看得见的) people but that can cause problems for the blind. So, sighted members might describe the size and colour of a building, or the smiles of strangers passing by. They might explain the food, “Our lunch is a sandwich in the centre of your plate, and chips in a bowl to the right of your plate.” Clearly, it is good for blind travelers. They are able to learn about new places and make new friends. “You don’t worry about danger anymore. That’s really important,” says Jenny Tween, a blind tourist. But it is also of benefit to sighted travelers. Wendy is one of them. She says that when you describe what you see, you see things in a very different way. The tour manager Hannah Vince agrees, “Sighted people learn a lot from these trips. It’s a win-win project.” Travelling with blind people and describing the world to them make sighted people slow down and look more closely at colors, shapes, and the sizes of things. Blind people can also help sighted people find more about the smells of food or flowers, and the sounds of music or traffic. In the end, this isn’t a story about people who can see helping people who can’t. It’s about people with different abilities showing each other new ways of experiencing the world and meeting new friends. 46．What do we know about tours with Travel Eyes? A．Most of the tourists are blind people. B．They are organized by Wendy Coley.

A．By telling a story in time order. B．By showing a problem and giving solutions. C．By introducing a topic and sharing some opinions. 50．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Help Blind People B．Travel around the World C．Shared Travels (11) Online travel is becoming more and more popular among students and young people.

What’s more, online travel is very convenient. You can do it at any time you like, even late at night. However, some people still prefer real travel. They think the trip will be more exciting and enjoyable if they can take photos, talk with local people and try different food in person.

It not only helps us improve our language skills and enlarge our vocabulary, but also opens our eyes to the outside world. Through a book, we can travel to faraway islands, learn about different cultures and traditions, and even take part in exciting and unforgettable stories without going out. Some students enjoy reading fiction books, such as novels, storybooks and adventure works. They are full of amazing plots and creative imagination, which can bring us fun and make our free time colourful. Other students prefer non-fiction books, which tell true stories, real history and useful facts. From science books to history books, we can learn much useful knowledge that we can hardly get in our daily class. However, many students say they have difficulty finding enough time for reading. In fact, we don’t need to spend hours reading every day. Just 15 to 20 minutes a day is enough. We can read before going to bed, during class breaks or on the way to school. Keeping a reading habit is not easy, but it is really worth trying. A good book is always our best friend.

Huang and his wife lived in a small village. The village was far from the town, and most houses there were built decades ago, with grey walls and few decorations. Local people never paid much attention to those old walls. After he retired (退休) in the 1970s, Huang had plenty of free time. He started painting lovely animals, beautiful flowers and even interesting village stories on the walls of his house just for fun. The once lifeless walls soon became the most eye-catching spot in the whole village. Later, his neighbors asked him to paint their houses too. His paintbrush brought a second “life” to those dull old houses. In 1998, the village was going to be pulled down, because most villagers had moved away. To save his hometown, Huang decided to paint every street in the village. The old man covered every street, wall and door in the whole village with bright, lovely colors. In 2010, some university students happened to pass by the village. They were amazed by Huang’s cute and lively artwork. These students then started the “Save Rainbow Village” project. It was a big success, and the village soon became an art park. Huang himself became famous as “Grandpa Rainbow”. Now, Rainbow Village has become a well-known tourist attraction. It welcomes over one million visitors every year. Grandpa Rainbow finally made his dream come true—he saved his beloved village.

One day, the king asked an officer called Qi Huangyang, “Who do you think can be the officer of Nanyang County?” “Xie Hu is the right man for the job,” Qi replied without thinking. Surprised, the king asked, “I know he is not friendly with you. Why do you let him take such an important position (职位)?” Smiling, Qi Huangyang said, “ You didn’t ask me my personal opinions of Xie Hu. You simply asked me who I thought would be suitable (合适的) for the position. Therefore, I recommended Xie Hu.” The king followed Qi’s advice and made Xie Hu the officer of Nanyang County. And sure enough, Xie Hu managed the county very well and local people all praised him. Some days later, the king asked Qi Huangyang again. This time, the king was trying to find a judge (法官). Qi Huangyang recommended Qi Wu for the job. The king was surprised once again because Qi Wu was the son of Qi Huangyang. The king asked, “Why do you recommend your son? Aren’t you afraid people will say you are selfish (自私的)?” Qi Huangyang replied, “You asked me who was the most suitable person for the position of judge, and I think Qi Wu is.” Although the king was a bit uncertain about making Qi Wu the judge, he gave him the position. As it turned out, Qi Wu was a fair and talented judge. Qi Huangyang’s actions were praised by Confucius. He said, “Qi Huangyang was right.
