The boy turned his bedroom into a “private museum”. People praise him for his knowledge of history and smart way of speaking, saying he is like a professor. Named the “Yu Tang Museum”, his bedroom, just over ten square metres, is filled with old books, copper coins, and porcelain (瓷器). He spent almost all of his lucky money and pocket money buying these items. He said that at first, he loved the items for their appearances, but as he learned more about history, he realized that each item carries a special culture. The only free space in the room is his bed. “This bed is for my body, while everything else is for my spirit,” he said. For him, arranging (布置) his room this way has another advantage: it reminds him to use his phone less. Xie Zhaoyutong’s interest in reading began around the age of three or four, and a visit to a museum with his mother at six made him fall in love with cultural relics (文物) and history. The boy believes learning history well helps with school subjects like Chinese and makes his life more interesting. He doesn’t care about material comforts—he even wears old socks with holes! But he loves filling his mind with knowledge. “Having fewer things means more space for thinking,” he says. “Life without learning is boring.” To Xie, reading an ancient book lets him understand what people thought thousands of years ago; touching a Han Dynasty brick allows him to imagine the lives of people who lived then. This kind of joy, he believes, is much better than fleeting online fun. 1．What do we know about Xie Zhaoyutong from Paragraph 1? A．He is a college student. B．He works as a professor. C．He built a public museum. D．He has become popular online. 2．Xie Zhaoyutong spent most of his lucky money and pocket money on ________ A．old objects B．a bigger bedroom C．school subjects D．new clothes and shoes 3．The underlined word “advantage” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________. A．change B．benefit C．problem D．challenge 4．Which of the following is TRUE about Xie Zhaoyutong’s lifestyle? ① He never uses his phone in his free time. ② He prefers to fill his mind with knowledge. ③ He spends most of his time on online games. ④ He doesn’t care a lot about expensive clothes. A．①② B．③④ C．①③ D．②④ 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．A Teenager’s Love for History B．How to Collect Cultural Relics C．A Private Museum in a Bedroom D．The Importance of Learning History 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了初中生‌谢昭雨橦将卧室改造成“雨堂博物馆”，收藏旧书、铜币、瓷器等老物件，展现他对历史文化的热爱与独特的精神追求。 1．第一段“Recently, Xie Zhaoyutong, a middle school student, has gained lots of attention online. The boy turned his bedroom into a 'private museum'. People praise him for his knowledge of history and smart way of speaking, saying he is like a professor.”可知，‌谢昭雨橦是一名初中生，并非大学生，也不是真正的教授，他打造的是私人博物馆而非公共博物馆，只有“在网上走红”符合原文表述。 2．根据第二段“Named the ‘Yu Tang Museum’, his bedroom, just over ten square metres, is filled with old books, copper coins, and porcelain. He spent almost all of his lucky money and pocket money buying these items.”可知，“these items”指代前文提到的旧书、铜币、瓷器等老物件，因此他的压岁钱和零花钱大多花在了老物件上。 3．第四段：“For him, arranging his room this way has another advantage: it reminds him to use his phone less.”，后文“it reminds him to use his phone less”是布置房间带来的好处，因此“advantage”在此处意为“好处”，与选项“benefit”同义。 4．①原文第四段“it reminds him to use his phone less”，仅说明“少用手机”，并非“从不使用”，表述错误；②原文第六段“But he loves filling his mind with knowledge.”，表述与原文一致，正确；③原文第七段“This kind of joy, he believes, is much better than fleeting online fun.”，说明他并不沉迷网络娱乐，表述错误；④原文第六段“He doesn’t care about material comforts—he even wears old socks with holes!”，说明他不追求物质享受，不在乎昂贵衣物，表述正确。因此，②和④表述正确。 5．全文围绕‌谢昭雨橦将卧室打造成“私人博物馆”展开，从博物馆的打造、藏品，到背后的历史热爱与生活方式，均以“卧室里的私人博物馆”为核心线索；因此，“A Private Museum in a Bedroom”点明了文章的核心载体，是贯穿全文的关键线索，最能概括全文内容，适合作为文章的标题。 What do young people like to do in their free time? If you think they are all playing video games or watching short videos on their phones, you might be wrong. In 2026, many young people are turning to something quite different — “grandma hobbies. “ “Grandma hobbies” is a fun name for traditional activities like needlepoint (刺绣) and gardening. These are things that people’s grandmothers used to enjoy. But now, Gen Z (people born after 1997) are falling in love with them. Emma MacTaggart, 26, from the US, is a good example. She used to work long hours in banking. After work, she would just look through her phone for hours — a habit called “getting lost in her phone.” To change this, she and her roommates decided to try needlepoint. Soon, they became “fully engrossed.” Emma said it was so relaxing that they spent almost all their free time making needlepoint works instead of looking at a screen. These old hobbies help young people reduce stress and feel relaxed. When they finish a gift or a dish, they feel proud and successful. Social media helps them become more popular. Young people share their works online and make friends. Some even turn their hobbies into businesses. Take Anna Weare as an example, a 31-year-old blacksmith (铁匠 ) — people now wait a year for her handmade products. So next time you see a young person blacksmithing, don’t be surprised. It’s the newest cool thing to do! 1．What are “grandma hobbies” according to the passage? A．Modern mobile phone apps. B．Old-fashioned video games. C．Traditional enjoyable activities. D．Business plans for old people. 2．Why did Emma MacTaggart start needlepoint? A．To make more money. B．To change her lifestyle. C．To pass the time with friends. D．To get help from others. 3．What does the underlined word “engrossed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．crazy B．bored C．tired D．angry 4．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A．“Grandma hobbies” help young people relax and find pleasure. B．All young people turn their hobbies into successful businesses. C．Needlepoint is the most popular free-time activity for Gen Z. D．Young people take up “grandma hobbies” only to make friends. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了年轻人中流行的“奶奶爱好”——刺绣、园艺等传统活动。 1．第二段指出“‘Grandma hobbies’ is a fun name for traditional activities like needlepoint and gardening.”，所以“grandma hobbies”指的是刺绣、园艺这类传统的、令人愉悦的活动。 2．第三段指出“She used to work long hours in banking…To change this, she and her roommates decided to try needlepoint.”，Emma开始刺绣是为了改变自己沉迷手机的生活方式。 3．第三段中最后一句“Emma said it was so relaxing that they spent almost all their free time making needlepoint works instead of looking at a screen.”可知，这个喜好让她们沉浸其中，engrossed意为“全神贯注的；专心致志的”。 4．第四段指出“These old hobbies help young people reduce stress and feel relaxed. When they finish a gift or a dish, they feel proud and successful.”以及全文内容可知，作者主要想告诉我们：“Grandma hobbies” 能帮助年轻人放松、找到乐趣。 Fire is very dangerous. It can burn down houses and hurt people. So it’s important for us to know how to keep safe when there is a fire. First, when a fire happens, we should keep calm. Don’t be afraid or run around nervously. Call 119 for help right away and tell the firefighters where the fire is clearly. Second, we should try to get out of the building quickly. If there is smoke, we should cover our mouth and nose with a wet towel and crawl (匍匐前进) on the floor. Because smoke is hot and it goes up into the air, the air near the floor is clean. Third, don’t take the elevator (电梯) during a fire. The elevator may stop working because of the fire. We should use the stairs to get out. Fourth, if we can’t get out of the room, we should close the door and put wet clothes or towels under the door to avoid the smoke from coming in. Then we can stand by the window and shout for help. Finally, after getting out of the building, we should never go back into the building to get our things. Our life is the most important. Everyone should learn these fire safety rules. They can help us keep safe when there is a fire. 1．What is the first thing we should do when a fire happens? A．Run out quickly. B．Keep calm. C．Take things. 2．What should we use to cover our mouth and nose when there is smoke? A．A dry towel. B．A wet towel. C．Nothing. 3．Why should we crawl on the floor during a fire? A．Because it’s easy to run. B．Because the air near the floor is clean. C．Because we can find things easily. 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．How to start a fire. B．How to keep safe during a fire. C．The danger of fire. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文介绍火灾的危害，重点讲解火灾发生时五条自我保护的安全规则，教会我们火灾中如何保障自身安全。 1．文中第二段“First, when a fire happens, we should keep calm.”，火灾发生时第一件事是保持冷静。 2．第三段“cover our mouth and nose with a wet towel”要用湿毛巾捂住口鼻。 3．原文说明烟雾往上飘，“the air near the floor is clean”贴近地面空气更干净，所以要匍匐前进。 4．全文围绕火灾中如何保持安全的方法展开讲解。“How to keep safe during a fire.”符合主旨。 We all know that getting the flu is not fun. There are headaches, coughs, fevers, and other terrible feelings. To help us get better, we take some medicine and get much rest. We also drink lots of water and eat healthy food. However, some people don’t want to get sick at all. So, they get a flu shot before the flu season starts. The flu shot is, in fact, a vaccine (疫苗), not usual cold medicine. It will protect them from the flu. The vaccine introduces some of the flu into the body. But don’t worry. The flu is dead and won’t make you sick. It will teach your body to know it and fight it off in the future. Vaccines not only protect you but also protect others. That’s because they help stop illnesses from spreading (扩散) from person to person. When fewer people have the illnesses, the chances of getting them go down. Sometimes, the illnesses completely go away. Though vaccines are quite safe, some adults are afraid of them. They worry the vaccines will cause serious side effects (副作用). Vaccines might cause side effects, but they are usually not as terrible as people imagine. For most people, vaccines are safe and make them better. 1．According to the passage, we should ________ if we get the flu. ① take some medicine ② do more exercise ③ eat healthy food ④ drink lots of water A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①②④ 2．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Vaccines are usual cold medicine. B．Vaccines’ side effects are very terrible. C．Vaccines help stop illnesses from spreading. D．Vaccines only protect the people who get them. 3．What is the best title for this passage? A．How to Treat the Flu Quickly B．Common Side Effects of Flu Vaccines C．Why People Catch the Flu Easily D．Vaccines: A Safe Way to Fight the Flu 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文，主要介绍了流感疫苗的相关知识。文章首先简述了患流感后的常规处理方法，随后重点介绍了流感疫苗的作用原理、其社会效益，以及针对人们担心的副作用问题进行了澄清，说明了疫苗的安全性。 1．根据第一段内容“To help us get better, we take some medicine and get much rest. We also drink lots of water and eat healthy food.”可知，当我们患流感时，应该吃药、多喝水、吃健康的食物以及多休息。 2．根据第三段中“Vaccines not only protect you but also protect others. That’s because they help stop illnesses from spreading from person to person.”可知，疫苗有助于阻止疾病在人与人之间的传播。 3．通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了流感疫苗的工作原理、益处以及安全性，旨在说明接种疫苗是对抗流感的一种安全有效的方式。 People usually feel excited when they go on vacation. But most people feel blue when coming home after travelling. And this feeling is called post-vacation blues. If you feel blue after travelling, here are some ways to help you get out of this bad feeling. Give yourself a week to relax first. You don’t need to think what to do next and just be relaxed. You can show your pet some love if you have one, watch your favourite TV shows or listen to relaxing music. After a week, do something useful and keep yourself busy. For example, when I came back from Europe, I felt blue because I didn’t have a job and was living with my parents. So I decided to find a job and make myself busy. If you don’t need a job, just try something like painting your room or tidying your house. You can also do exercise, learn to cook, visit your friends and just do anything you want! It’s also a good idea to make a photo book and plan your next trip. Your photos taken on vacation help you remember the good times you had. And you can plan to take another trip. Just like Elbert Hubbard said, “No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one.” Next time when you feel blue, remember to try these ways. You’ll find going back to the real life is not so terrible as you think. 1．Which of the following is NOT suggested for post-vacation blues? A．Buying a new pet. B．Painting your room. C．Planning your next trip. D．Watching your favourite TV shows. 2．Why does the writer mention Elbert Hubbard’s saying? A．To encourage people to take a long vacation B．To prove that the writer is full of rich knowledge C．To show that each person needs to have a nice vacation. D．To explain why planning the next trip cheers people up. 3．Which is the right structure of the passage? A．①②/③④/⑤ B．①/②③/④⑤ C．①/②③④/⑤ D．①②/③/④⑤ 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍假期结束后很多人会出现“假期后低落情绪”，并给出三种缓解这种坏心情的实用方法，最后总结鼓励人们试着用这些方式调整心态。 1．文章第二段明确提到：“You can show your pet some love if you have one, watch your favourite TV shows or listen to relaxing music.”，第三段提到：“just try something like painting your room or tidying your house.”，第四段提到：“It’s also a good idea to make a photo book and plan your next trip.”，由此可知文中只建议陪伴自家已有宠物，并没有提到购买新宠物，其余三项都是文中给出的建议，因此该项正确。 2．文章第四段先建议制作相册、规划下一次旅行，随后引用名人名言，由此可知作者引用这句话是为了佐证解释规划下次旅行能让人心情变好，其余选项不符合文章表达意图，因此该项正确。 3．文章第一段引出节后低落情绪并引出解决办法，第二、三、四段依次介绍缓解低落情绪的具体方式，最后一段总结建议大家尝试这些方法调整心态，整体采用总起、分述、总结的行文思路，文章结构为①/②③④/⑤。 One night, my older brother Tommy and I started fighting in the kitchen. He said I was weak (虚弱的) and silly. I felt really hurt, so I ran to my room and shut the door. I sat on my bed and cried. About 20 minutes later, I heard Mom walking outside. She knocked on my door and asked in a low voice, “Kevin, do you want to talk with me?” I didn’t answer. I was too sad to speak. She tried again. Still, I said nothing. Then I saw a piece of paper slip under my door. It said, “If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other.” I read it but still didn’t want to reply. I just sat in the dark, feeling sad. Half an hour later, I finally picked up a pen. I wrote down everything that was in my heart. My note said, “No one in this family loves me. I am not the youngest or the oldest, and I am not the smartest. Tommy thinks I am too weak, and Dad wishes he had another Kevin who is better at basketball. You’re never around to even notice me.” I pushed the note out under the door. Soon, Mom wrote back: “Kevin, I do love you, and everyone in this family loves you.” I was still crying softly. A few minutes later, I wrote another note: “Thanks!” She asked, “For what?” I replied, “For loving me.” From that night on, our family tried harder to care about each other. Whenever someone is unhappy, we smile and say, “Write it on a note.” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What made Kevin sad according to the text? A．He knew his brother’s secret. B．He didn’t find any food in the kitchen. C．He had a fight with his brother. D．He hurt himself while going to the garden. 2．What does the underlined word “slip” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Fall down. B．Break into. C．Jump up. D．Put quietly. 3．How did Mom try to communicate with Kevin at first? A．By writing a note to him. B．By asking Tommy for help. C．By talking to him face to face. D．By waiting outside his door silently. 4．What can we learn from Kevin’s long note? A．He felt unloved in his family. B．He couldn’t get along well with his family. C．He didn’t love anyone in his family. D．He was the weakest kid in the family. 5．What’s the best title for the text? A．A Sad Boy—Kevin B．A Mother’s Change C．A Heart-to-heart Talk on Notes D．A Fight Between Brothers 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述凯文和哥哥打架后伤心地把自己关在房间里，妈妈尝试通过写纸条的方式与他沟通。凯文在纸条中表达了自己感觉不被爱的痛苦，妈妈回复说全家人都爱他。从那以后，家人之间更懂得关心彼此。 1．第一段“...my older brother Tommy and I started fighting...I felt really hurt, so I ran to my room and...cried.”，说明让他伤心的是“和哥哥打架”。 2．第三段“Then I saw a piece of paper slip under my door. It said, ‘If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other.’”，纸条从门缝下面被塞进来，动作应是“轻轻地、悄悄地放入”。 3．第二段“She knocked on my door and asked in a low voice, ‘Kevin, do you want to talk with me?’”，一开始妈妈试图用“面对面说话”与凯文沟通。 4．第四段“‘No one in this family loves me...You’re never around to even notice me.’”，从凯文的长纸条中我们能了解到“他觉得自己在家里不被爱”。 5．本文核心是通过写纸条的方式，母子之间进行了交心沟通，解决了内心的痛苦。所以最佳标题应是“纸条上的交心谈话”。 The Highest Mountain—Mount Qomolangma Where: on the border（边境）between China and Nepal How high: 8,848.86 metres high, over 200 metres higher than K2 (乔戈里峰), the world’s second highest mountain What it is like: It’s very dangerous to climb it because of the terrible weather. The Longest River—the Nile Where: in northeastern Africa How long: about 6,650 kilometres long, about 250 kilometres longer than China’s longest river—the Yangtze River. What it is like: It brings much water to Africans. It’s best to visit it in spring, autumn or winter. The Largest Desert—the Sahara Where: in the north of Africa How large: about 9,320,000 square kilometres What it is like: It’s not good for people, animals or plants to live. It rains little there. 1．According to the text, how high is the world’s second highest mountain? A．8,848 metres. B．8,648 metres. C．200 metres. D．6,650 metres. 2．What do the Sahara and the Nile have in common? A．They are both good places to live in. B．They are both in Africa. C．It hardly rains in those two places. D．They are the same size. 3．In which part of the newspaper will you read this text? A．Global Travel. B．Nature Protection. C．Healthy lifestyle. D．Geography facts. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 【导语】本文介绍了世界最高峰珠穆朗玛峰、世界最长河流尼罗河以及世界最大沙漠撒哈拉沙漠的地理位置、相关数据和特征。 1．根据“8,848.86 metres high, over 200 metres higher than K2 (乔戈里峰), the world’s second highest mountain.”可知8848.86−200≈8648米，乔戈里峰高度约为8648米。   2．根据“The Longest River—the Nile…in northeastern Africa”和“The Largest Desert—the Sahara…in the north of Africa.”可知它们都在非洲，这是它们的共同点。 3．全文介绍山脉、河流、沙漠的地理相关知识，属于地理事实范畴，因此会出现在报纸的地理事实板块。 Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, and Lake Superior, known as the Great Lakes, make up the largest fresh surface water system in the world. The Great Lakes cover about 245,660 km². So how much fresh water is that? A lot! Scientists think the Great Lakes hold about 22 percent of the world's fresh surface water supply (供应) and about 95 percent of the United States’ supply. Although the Great Lakes are made up of five different lakes, together they become one big body of fresh water. Water flows (流) from Lake Superior to Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. It then flows south to Lake Erie before following the Niagara River over Niagara Falls and into Lake Ontario. At last, the St. Lawrence River takes Lake Ontario’s water to the Atlantic Ocean. Besides the five Great Lakes themselves, many rivers and thousands of smaller lakes—called “inland (内陆的) lakes”—are part of the system. The Great Lakes are so big that they are more like inland seas than typical lakes. People can even surf (冲浪) on parts of the Great Lakes if the weather conditions are right! When children see one of the Great Lakes for the first time, they might think it's the ocean in the wrong way because of its large size. There are many ways to have fun in, on and around the Great Lakes. Besides swimming, boating and fishing, there are many fun places to visit. 1．How does the writer show that there’s much fresh water in the Great Lake in Paragraph 2? A．By telling stories. B．By showing numbers. C．By giving examples. D．By comparing two things. 2．What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Where the Great Lakes are. B．Why the Great Lakes are famous C．How big the Great Lakes are D．How water of the Great Lakes flows into the ocean. 3．Why are the Great Lakes like inland seas? A．Because they’re very large. B．Because people can surf there. C．Because they’re close to the ocean. D．Because they have good weather conditions. 4．What will the writer probably talk about in the following paragraph? A．Stories about the Great Lakes. B．Animals around the Great Lakes. C．The importance of the Great Lakes. D．Fun places around the Great Lakes . 5．What is the theme of this passage? A．Life & Communication B．Food & Health C．Nature & Geography D．Science & Future life 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了北美五大湖的基本情况，包括其淡水储量、水系流向、面积规模以及休闲活动等，展现了五大湖的自然地理特征。 1．根据第二段中的“about 245,660 km²”、“22 percent”、“95 percent”等具体数字可知，作者通过列数字的方式说明五大湖的淡水量很大。 2．第三段中“Water flows (流) from Lake Superior to Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. It then flows south to Lake Erie... into Lake Ontario. At last, the St. Lawrence River takes Lake Ontario’s water to the Atlantic Ocean.”按顺序描述了水从苏必利尔湖流向密歇根湖、休伦湖、伊利湖，经尼亚加拉瀑布进入安大略湖，最后经圣劳伦斯河汇入大西洋，主要说明五大湖的水如何流入海洋。 3．第四段指出：“The Great Lakes are so big that they are more like inland seas than typical lakes.” 这句话直接说明了五大湖之所以像内陆海，是因为它们的面积非常巨大。 4．文章最后一段提到：“Besides swimming, boating and fishing, there are many fun places to visit.” 既然文章结尾提到了除了水上活动外还有许多有趣的地方可以参观，接下来的段落很可能会具体介绍这些地方。 5．本文主要介绍了五大湖的地理位置、水系构成、水流路径以及自然环境特征，属于自然地理范畴。 My name is George. When I was in middle school, I experienced a strong earthquake. When I was listening to the teacher carefully, suddenly I felt the ground shaking and everything started moving. Everyone in the classroom was shouting and crying. I was scared and even thought of the end of the world. When the shaking stopped, the teacher quickly took us out of the classroom to the playground. We saw that the whole school was in a mess. Teachers tried to find all the students and make sure everyone was safe. As we stood on the playground, we could still feel the aftershocks. After making sure it was safe, teachers called our parents to take us home. My house suffered some damage (损坏). The bookcases fell onto the floor and some things were broken. But I felt happy that we were all safe. In the following days, we learned that the earthquake caused a lot of damage to the city. Many buildings collapsed and lots of people lost their homes and family. I was sad to hear that. Looking back on this experience, I know how important it is to be prepared for natural disasters and I feel more hopeful about safety now. We never know when they will happen, but we can find ways to protect ourselves and our family. 1．Where was George when the ground started shaking? A．At home. B．On the playground. C．In the classroom. D．Near the school. 2．What is the meaning of the underlined word “collapsed” in Paragraph 4? A．Fell down. B．Went up. C．Took away. D．Got over. 3．What is the right order of the following sentences according to the passage? ①George saw damage to his house. ②George’s classmates were shouting and crying. ③George was listening to the teacher carefully. ④The teachers took the students to the playground. A．②③①④ B．③②④① C．②④③① D．③④②① 4．How did George’s feelings change according to the passage? A．scared→sad→hopeful→happy B．happy→hopeful→scared→sad C．scared→happy→sad→hopeful D．sad→scared→happy→hopeful 5．What did George learn from the event? A．The reason why earthquakes happen. B．The place to stay when one is in danger. C．The best time to run away from danger. D．The importance of preparing for natural disasters. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者乔治在中学时经历的一次强烈地震，包括地震发生时的场景、地震后的状况以及作者从这次经历中获得的感悟。 1．第一段提到：“When I was listening to the teacher carefully, suddenly I felt the ground shaking and everything started moving.” 这表明当地面开始震动时，乔治正在教室里认真听老师讲课。 2．第四段提到：“Many buildings collapsed and lots of people lost their homes and family.” 结合前文描述地震造成很多破坏，以及后文很多人失去家园和家人，可推测出“collapsed”意思是“倒塌”，与“Fell down”意思相符。 3．第二段提到：“When the shaking stopped, the teacher quickly took us out of the classroom to the playground.” 结合前文第一段“When I was listening to the teacher carefully, suddenly I felt the ground shaking and everything started moving. Everyone in the classroom was shouting and crying.”以及第三段“My house suffered some damage (损坏).”可知，先是乔治认真听老师讲课，然后同学们开始喊叫哭泣，接着老师带学生去操场，最后乔治看到房子受损。所以顺序是③②④①。 4．第一段提到：“I was scared and even thought of the end of the world.” 说明乔治一开始很害怕；第三段提到：“But I felt happy that we were all safe.” 说明看到大家都安全后他很高兴；第四段提到：“I was sad to hear that.” 说明听到很多人失去家园和家人他很伤心；最后一段提到：“I know how important it is to be prepared for natural disasters and I feel more hopeful about safety now.” 说明他现在对安全更有希望了。所以乔治的感情变化是scared→happy→sad→hopeful。 5．最后一段提到：“Looking back on this experience, I know how important it is to be prepared for natural disasters.” 这表明乔治从这次事件中学到了为自然灾害做好准备的重要性。 One Saturday Maria and I had a 30-mile bike ride. At 10:30 a.m., when we stopped for a rest, a cold wind came. That was when our perfect day began to change. By noon, we knew a big storm was moving our way. Dark clouds rolled up out of the southwest. There was no way to stay out of the storm. We would have to wait it out, but where? Then ▲ . The temperature fell suddenly. I looked up and saw the sky had now turned dark green. I looked around and saw no animals. Then a blue car stopped beside our bikes. The driver shouted, “Get in!” She looked afraid, and so did we. We did as she said. That was when the hail (冰雹) started. Ice, the size of golf balls, hit the windows of the car. She drove fast to the north. Maria and I looked back at the black sky. Maria cried, “Tornado (龙卷风)!” It was so close. We would never run faster than the tornado! The driver said, “There’s an overpass (桥) ahead. We’ll stay under it for protection.” When we parked, we jumped out of the car and ran to the wall of the overpass. Before I could count to 20, there came a loud noise. It sounded like a train passing overhead. Then, suddenly, it was over. We had made it! We were shaken but excited. What a story! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What was the writer doing on the day of the tornado?

Dark clouds rolled up out of the southwest.”，乌云密布是龙卷风来临前最先发生的事情。 4．故事顺序为：第一段“Maria and I had a 30-mile bike ride”（②骑车出发）→第二段“a big storm was moving our way”（③风暴逼近）→第四段“‘Get in!’ She looked afraid...we did as she said”（⑤进入女士的车）→第四段“Ice...hit the windows of the car”（④冰雹砸车窗）→第五段“She drove fast...There’s an overpass ahead...We’ll stay under it”（①开车到桥下），因此正确顺序为②③⑤④①。 5．最后一段指出：“We were shaken but excited.”，说明他们虽害怕但兴奋。 Chopsticks have been used in Asia for over 3,000 years. The earliest chopsticks were discovered in Henan, China about 1200 BCE. Over the next 2,000 years, they spread throughout East and Southeast Asia. The three most well-known types are Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Chinese chopsticks are longer with wide, rounded points at the end, mostly made of plastic or bamboo. While Japanese chopsticks are shorter and more pointed. Korean ones are flat rather than round and made of metal rather than wood. It’s said that ancient Royalty (皇室) used silver chopsticks to see if their food was poisoned (有毒的). In Southeast Asia, Vietnamese chopsticks are similar to Chinese ones. Chopsticks are not just eating tools. A proper chopstick grip (握法) can greatly improve dining experience. First, place the top part of two sticks between your thumb and index finger. Hold the upper chopstick gently with your first three fingers while resting the lower one at your ring finger. Meanwhile, put your thumb at the side of your index-finger nail. The upper stick is moved up and down with the movements of the index finger and middle finger. This way, pieces of food can be easily grasped between the tips of the chopsticks. ________ The first rule is to grab and not stab (刺入) food with the tip of your chopsticks. Second, don’t set chopsticks vertically (垂直的) into the rice in your bowl. In some cultures, such positioning of chopsticks is considered as a symbol associated with death. Third, watch where you point your chopsticks. It’s rude to point them directly at others. Following the guidelines above, you not only show respect for the cultural traditions about chopsticks, but also enrich your overall dining experience. 1．We can learn about the ________ of chopsticks in Paragraph 2. ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ features discovery materials types sales A．①②③ B．③④⑤ C．①③④ D．①②⑤ 2．How many rules about using chopsticks rightly are there in Paragraph 4? A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five 3．Which of the following pictures describes the proper chopstick grip? A．B． C． D． 4．Which sentence can be put in the ________ in Paragraph 4? A．It’s not easy for you to get the use of chopsticks. B．Understanding chopstick manners is also necessary. C．Remember to choose suitable chopsticks for meals. D．Chopsticks play an important role at Chinese table. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．The spread of Chinese culture B．Chopsticks, Treasure of Asian culture C．Chopsticks,ancient eating tools D．The table manners in Asia. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍筷子的历史、类型、握法及礼仪，展现其作为亚洲文化瑰宝的多元价值。 1．第二段提到“three most well-known types（类型）”“Chinese chopsticks are longer with wide, rounded points（特征）”“made of plastic or bamboo（材料）”，对应features、materials、types，即①③④。 2．第四段明确列出三条规则：①用筷子夹食物而非刺；②不要将筷子垂直插在米饭里；③不要用筷子指向他人，共三条。 3．根据第三段握法描述：上筷用食指和中指控制上下移动，下筷靠无名指支撑，拇指和食指夹住筷子上端，图片D符合。 4．第四段主要讲筷子礼仪规则，空格处应引出“礼仪的重要性”，“Understanding chopstick manners is also necessary”最贴合。 5．本文涵盖筷子的历史、类型、握法、礼仪，体现其作为亚洲文化瑰宝的意义，“Chopsticks, Treasure of Asian culture”最全面。 Dear Li Hua, How’s everything going? I’m now studying in Canada and I’m having a great time here. I’ve experienced many interesting cultural differences. One thing is about table manners. Here, people usually use knives and forks to eat. When we have dinner together, we don’t start eating until everyone is served. Also, we say “bless you” when someone sneezes. It’s a polite way here. Another thing is about festivals. Last week, I celebrated Thanksgiving with my host family. We had a big dinner and gave thanks for what we have. It was really warm and meaningful. I’ve also tried to communicate with local people. At first, I was afraid of making mistakes, but they were very patient and friendly. Now, I feel much more confident. I’m looking forward to sharing more with you when I come back. Yours, Wang Ming 1．Where is Wang Ming now? A．In China. B．In Canada. C．In America.

Lila was known in the village for her very bad temper (脾气). She would often get angry at her friends and family because it’s difficult for her to control it. So her anger would sometimes get the best of her. One day, Lila and her best friend Maya were playing a game when Lila suddenly fell down. Maya laughed. She thought Lila was just being playful and not hurt, but Lila felt differently. She felt embarrassed (尴尬的). Without thinking, Lila got angry at Maya, calling her names and pushing her away. Maya was hurt and didn’t understand why, and she ran off crying. Lila was left alone, feeling sorry about her actions. The next day, Lila went into the forest, hoping to find a way to control her anger and make up with Maya. She saw a wise old owl (猫头鹰) in a tree. “Hello, young girl,” the owl said. “What brings you here?” Lila explained her situation to the owl. “Anger is powerful,” the owl said. “It can be helpful in encouraging us to take action, but it can also drive us to strike out (猛烈攻击) and hurt others and ourselves. The key is to learn how to control it.” The owl gave Lila a small stone and told her to keep it. When she felt angry, she could hold it and take three deep breaths. It wasn’t easy at first, but with practice, Lila learned how to control her anger and think before she acted. She also said sorry to Maya and promised never to let her anger hurt Maya again. Maya forgave her, and they became even closer than before. 1．What does the underlined part “get the best of” in Para. 1 mean? A．Calm down. B．Make fun of. C．Take control of. 2．Why did Maya laugh when Lila fell down? A．She wanted to embarrass Lila. B．She thought Lila did that just for fun.

She thought Lila was just being playful and not hurt”可知Maya以为Lila只是在闹着玩，并没有受伤，所以她笑了，对应选项B。 3．猫头鹰的话中提到“It can be helpful in encouraging us to take action, but it can also drive us to strike out and hurt others and ourselves.”可知愤怒既有积极的一面，也有消极的一面，对应选项B。 4．全文围绕Lila学习控制愤怒的经历展开，可知故事想告诉我们要学会控制、管理愤怒，对应选项A。 Every boy wants to find treasure. And Tom was no different. One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea. “Where can we look for treasure?” asked Huck. “It’s hidden on islands, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in haunted (闹鬼的) houses.” So, one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely place, which made the boys feel very frightened. They entered quietly, and explored downstairs. There were cobwebs everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped. “What is it?” whispered Huck, going white with fright. “Keep quiet! There’s someone downstairs.” The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs. One was an old Spaniard in a wide sombrero hat and the other was dirty and unpleasant-looking. Tom and Huck shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it was Indian Joe. He said, “It’s time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from the robbery (抢劫)?” “Let’s keep $30 each and leave the bag here.” The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins. The two boys forgot all their fears when they saw there was real treasure downstairs. Then Indian Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something. “What is it?” asked the other man. “It’s a box,” said Indian Joe. And he put in his hand and pulled out a handful of gold coins. The other man found the boys’ tools, and they soon pulled out the box. “There’s thousands of dollars in there,” said Indian Joe. “The Murrell Gang used this area one summer,” said his partner. “They must have hidden their money here.” “What will we do with this, Joe? Will we bury (埋) it again?” “No, someone might find it,” said Indian Joe. “Let’s bury it in the number two den.” Tom and Huck got up as soon as the two men left. They decided to watch out for the man in the sombrero and find out where the number two den was. 1．Where did the two boys go to find treasure one Saturday afternoon? A．To a haunted house. B．To a small island. C．To some dead trees. D．To a faraway den. 2．Where was the bag of money probably from? A．The two men robbed others of it. B．Some villagers hid it there. C．The owner of the house left it there. D．Tom and Huck buried it there. 3．Which is the right order of what happened in the story? a. The two boys threw their tools in a corner. b. The dirty man lifted out a bag full of money. c. Tom and Huck went to look for treasure one day. d. Indian Joe found a box full of gold coins. e. The Murrell Gang hid their money in the house. A．c-a-b-d-e B．c-d-b-e-a C．e-c-a-d-b D．e-c-a-b-d 4．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．The real treasure was $650 in the bag. B．The man in the sombrero was the dirty man. C．Tom would join Indian Joe and be a robber. D．Tom and Huck would try to get the treasure. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文节选自《汤姆·索亚历险记》，讲述了汤姆和哈克去鬼屋寻宝时意外发现印第安·乔和同伙藏匿赃款的故事。 1．第三段汤姆说宝藏藏在“under the floors in haunted houses”，第四段他们去了“the haunted house on Cardiff Hill”，说明他们去鬼屋寻宝。 2．第八段印第安·乔说：“What will we do with the $650 from the robbery?”，说明袋子里的钱来自抢劫。 3．故事顺序为：e.默雷尔帮曾在此藏钱（第十五段“The Murrell Gang used this area...hidden their money here”发生在寻宝之前）；c.汤姆和哈克去寻宝（第四段“one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure”）；a.他们进入鬼屋后把工具扔在角落（第四段“threw their tools in a corner”）；b.脏男人拿出装满钱的袋子（第十段“lifted out a bag full of money”）；d.印第安·乔发现装满金币的盒子（第十三段“pulled out a handful of gold coins”）。因此正确顺序为e-c-a-b-d。 4．最后一段汤姆和哈克决定监视戴阔边帽的人，找出“二号窝点”的位置，说明他们想得到宝藏。 Many teenagers worry about study, friendship and future, but 14-year-old Li Wei from a small town in Hubei shows that kindness and persistence can light up life. In Grade 7, Li Wei found that left-behind children in his community felt lonely because their parents worked in big cities and seldom came home. These kids had no playmates and few books. Li Wei wanted to help them, so he shared his idea with teachers and classmates, and many joined him. They set up a volunteer reading corner in the community center. Li Wei spent nearly two hours every weekend preparing books and interesting activities. He patiently communicated with shy kids and read stories for them. Gradually, these children became more outgoing and confident. Li Wei and his classmates also raised money to buy books, pens and notebooks, writing encouraging words on each book to warm the kids. The reading corner has run for over two years and helped more than 50 left-behind children. Li Wei keeps volunteering and feels happy and proud. His story tells everyone that a warm heart and small actions can make a difference, and teenagers should spread kindness and help people around them. 1．Why did the left-behind children feel lonely? A．They had no friends at school. B．Their parents couldn’t stay with them often. C．They didn’t like their community. D．They had too much homework to do. 2．How long did Li Wei spend in the reading corner every weekend? A．About one hour. B．About two hours. C．About three hours. D．About four hours. 3．What does the underlined word “them” refer to? A．Left-behind children. B．Teachers and classmates. C．Books and pens. D．Volunteer activities. 4．What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A．The kids disliked the reading corner at first. B．Li Wei is good at talking with shy children. C．The kids became worried after joining the corner. D．Li Wei taught the kids to write stories. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．A Small Volunteer with a Warm Heart. B．How to Read Storybooks. C．Weekend Activities for Teens. D．How to Make New Friends. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了湖北小镇14岁少年Li Wei发现社区里的留守儿童因父母常年在外打工而感到孤独，坚持两年多帮助了50多名留守儿童，用善良和坚持点亮他人生活的故事。 1．第二段明确指出：“In Grade 7, Li Wei found left-behind children in his community felt lonely because their parents worked in big cities and seldom came home.”这说明留守儿童感到孤独的直接原因是“他们的父母很少回家，不能经常陪伴他们”。 2．第三段明确指出：“Li Wei spent nearly two hours every weekend preparing books and interesting activities.” “nearly two hours”意为“将近两小时”。 3．第二段指出：“He patiently communicated with shy kids and read stories for them.” 根据代词指代规则，上文提到的“shy kids”即指代前文所说的“left-behind children”。因此“them”指代的是“留守儿童”。 4．根据第三段“He patiently communicated with shy kids and read stories for them. Gradually, these children became more outgoing and confident.”可以推断出Li Wei善于与害羞的孩子沟通。 5．全文围绕Li Wei这个14岁少年用志愿服务帮助留守儿童的故事展开，突出了他的“善良”和“坚持”。选项A“A Small Volunteer with a Warm Heart”准确概括了文章主旨。 Volunteering is becoming more and more popular among middle school students these days. It is not only a way to help people in need, but also a good chance for teenagers to improve themselves and enrich their life experiences. As an eighth-grade student, I have taken part in many volunteer activities in my spare time. Last Saturday, I joined a volunteer group to help clean up the city park. When we arrived in the morning, we found some rubbish everywhere. There were plastic bags, empty bottles and waste paper on the grass and along the roads. We divided ourselves into small groups. Some picked up the rubbish with tools, some swept the paths, and others reminded visitors to protect the environment. At first, some visitors looked at us in surprise, but soon many of them began to follow our example and stopped throwing rubbish casually. After three hours’ hard work, the whole park became clean and tidy. The fresh air and green trees made people feel comfortable. Although we felt a little tired, we were full of joy and pride. We knew our small effort could make our city more beautiful. Besides cleaning parks, I also go to the old people’s home once a month. I chat with the lonely old people, help them wash clothes and tell them interesting stories. Most of the old people there live alone and they really need care and company. Every time we leave, they always thank us with warm smiles. Volunteering teaches me a lot. It makes me learn to care about others instead of only thinking of myself. It also improves my communication skills and makes me more outgoing. I believe volunteering is a meaningful thing. I will keep on doing volunteer work and call on more classmates to join us to pass on warmth and kindness to our society. 1．What does the writer think of volunteering? A．It wastes study time B．It is meaningful and helpful C．It is boring and tiring D．It is only for adults 2．What did the writer do last Saturday?

A．The writer’s volunteer experience and feelings B．How to protect the environment in daily life C．The life of lonely old people in the city D．How to organize a volunteer group 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文介绍了作者的志愿服务经历及感悟。 1．文章最后一段提到“I believe volunteering is a meaningful thing”，且全文讲述志愿活动能帮助他人、提升自我，体现出志愿活动有意义且有益。 2．第二段开头明确说明“Last Saturday, I joined a volunteer group to help clean up the city park”，可知作者上周六去打扫城市公园。 3．第二段文中提到“At first, some visitors looked at us in surprise”，能看出一开始一些游客感到很惊讶。 4．第四段开头写明“I also go to the old people’s home once a month”，可知作者每月去一次养老院。 5．文章先介绍志愿服务的好处，再讲述作者打扫公园、看望老人的志愿经历，最后写出自己的收获与感悟，全篇围绕作者的志愿服务经历和内心感受展开。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期末复习之阅读理解16篇 （Units1-8单元话题） 单元 单元话题 Unit 1 Time to Relax 休闲活动 Unit 2 Stay Healthy 健康 Unit 3 Growing Up 成长经历 Unit 4 The Wonders of Nature 自然界奇观 Unit 5 Nature's Temper 自然灾害 Unit 6 Crossing Cultures 跨文化交际 Unit 7 A Good Read 阅读与书籍 Unit 8 Making a Difference 助人奉献 本资料共16篇专题训练，从上到下每单元依次对应2篇单元话题专题训练 Recently, Xie Zhaoyutong, a middle school student, has gained lots of attention online. The boy turned his bedroom into a “private museum”. People praise him for his knowledge of history and smart way of speaking, saying he is like a professor. Named the “Yu Tang Museum”, his bedroom, just over ten square metres, is filled with old books, copper coins, and porcelain (瓷器). He spent almost all of his lucky money and pocket money buying these items. He said that at first, he loved the items for their appearances, but as he learned more about history, he realized that each item carries a special culture. The only free space in the room is his bed. “This bed is for my body, while everything else is for my spirit,” he said. For him, arranging (布置) his room this way has another advantage: it reminds him to use his phone less. Xie Zhaoyutong’s interest in reading began around the age of three or four, and a visit to a museum with his mother at six made him fall in love with cultural relics (文物) and history. The boy believes learning history well helps with school subjects like Chinese and makes his life more interesting. He doesn’t care about material comforts—he even wears old socks with holes! But he loves filling his mind with knowledge. “Having fewer things means more space for thinking,” he says. “Life without learning is boring.” To Xie, reading an ancient book lets him understand what people thought thousands of years ago; touching a Han Dynasty brick allows him to imagine the lives of people who lived then. This kind of joy, he believes, is much better than fleeting online fun. 1．What do we know about Xie Zhaoyutong from Paragraph 1? A．He is a college student. B．He works as a professor. C．He built a public museum. D．He has become popular online. 2．Xie Zhaoyutong spent most of his lucky money and pocket money on ________ A．old objects B．a bigger bedroom C．school subjects D．new clothes and shoes 3．The underlined word “advantage” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________. A．change B．benefit C．problem D．challenge 4．Which of the following is TRUE about Xie Zhaoyutong’s lifestyle? ① He never uses his phone in his free time. ② He prefers to fill his mind with knowledge. ③ He spends most of his time on online games. ④ He doesn’t care a lot about expensive clothes. A．①② B．③④ C．①③ D．②④ 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．A Teenager’s Love for History B．How to Collect Cultural Relics C．A Private Museum in a Bedroom D．The Importance of Learning History What do young people like to do in their free time? If you think they are all playing video games or watching short videos on their phones, you might be wrong. In 2026, many young people are turning to something quite different — “grandma hobbies. “ “Grandma hobbies” is a fun name for traditional activities like needlepoint (刺绣) and gardening. These are things that people’s grandmothers used to enjoy. But now, Gen Z (people born after 1997) are falling in love with them. Emma MacTaggart, 26, from the US, is a good example. She used to work long hours in banking. After work, she would just look through her phone for hours — a habit called “getting lost in her phone.” To change this, she and her roommates decided to try needlepoint. Soon, they became “fully engrossed.” Emma said it was so relaxing that they spent almost all their free time making needlepoint works instead of looking at a screen. These old hobbies help young people reduce stress and feel relaxed. When they finish a gift or a dish, they feel proud and successful. Social media helps them become more popular. Young people share their works online and make friends. Some even turn their hobbies into businesses. Take Anna Weare as an example, a 31-year-old blacksmith (铁匠 ) — people now wait a year for her handmade products. So next time you see a young person blacksmithing, don’t be surprised. It’s the newest cool thing to do! 1．What are “grandma hobbies” according to the passage? A．Modern mobile phone apps. B．Old-fashioned video games. C．Traditional enjoyable activities. D．Business plans for old people. 2．Why did Emma MacTaggart start needlepoint? A．To make more money. B．To change her lifestyle. C．To pass the time with friends. D．To get help from others. 3．What does the underlined word “engrossed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．crazy B．bored C．tired D．angry 4．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A．“Grandma hobbies” help young people relax and find pleasure. B．All young people turn their hobbies into successful businesses. C．Needlepoint is the most popular free-time activity for Gen Z. D．Young people take up “grandma hobbies” only to make friends. Fire is very dangerous. It can burn down houses and hurt people. So it’s important for us to know how to keep safe when there is a fire. First, when a fire happens, we should keep calm. Don’t be afraid or run around nervously. Call 119 for help right away and tell the firefighters where the fire is clearly. Second, we should try to get out of the building quickly. If there is smoke, we should cover our mouth and nose with a wet towel and crawl (匍匐前进) on the floor. Because smoke is hot and it goes up into the air, the air near the floor is clean. Third, don’t take the elevator (电梯) during a fire. The elevator may stop working because of the fire. We should use the stairs to get out. Fourth, if we can’t get out of the room, we should close the door and put wet clothes or towels under the door to avoid the smoke from coming in. Then we can stand by the window and shout for help. Finally, after getting out of the building, we should never go back into the building to get our things. Our life is the most important. Everyone should learn these fire safety rules. They can help us keep safe when there is a fire. 1．What is the first thing we should do when a fire happens? A．Run out quickly. B．Keep calm. C．Take things. 2．What should we use to cover our mouth and nose when there is smoke? A．A dry towel. B．A wet towel. C．Nothing. 3．Why should we crawl on the floor during a fire? A．Because it’s easy to run. B．Because the air near the floor is clean. C．Because we can find things easily. 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．How to start a fire. B．How to keep safe during a fire. C．The danger of fire. We all know that getting the flu is not fun. There are headaches, coughs, fevers, and other terrible feelings. To help us get better, we take some medicine and get much rest. We also drink lots of water and eat healthy food. However, some people don’t want to get sick at all. So, they get a flu shot before the flu season starts. The flu shot is, in fact, a vaccine (疫苗), not usual cold medicine. It will protect them from the flu. The vaccine introduces some of the flu into the body. But don’t worry. The flu is dead and won’t make you sick. It will teach your body to know it and fight it off in the future. Vaccines not only protect you but also protect others. That’s because they help stop illnesses from spreading (扩散) from person to person. When fewer people have the illnesses, the chances of getting them go down. Sometimes, the illnesses completely go away. Though vaccines are quite safe, some adults are afraid of them. They worry the vaccines will cause serious side effects (副作用). Vaccines might cause side effects, but they are usually not as terrible as people imagine. For most people, vaccines are safe and make them better. 1．According to the passage, we should ________ if we get the flu. ① take some medicine ② do more exercise ③ eat healthy food ④ drink lots of water A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①②④ 2．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Vaccines are usual cold medicine. B．Vaccines’ side effects are very terrible. C．Vaccines help stop illnesses from spreading. D．Vaccines only protect the people who get them. 3．What is the best title for this passage? A．How to Treat the Flu Quickly B．Common Side Effects of Flu Vaccines C．Why People Catch the Flu Easily D．Vaccines: A Safe Way to Fight the Flu People usually feel excited when they go on vacation. But most people feel blue when coming home after travelling. And this feeling is called post-vacation blues. If you feel blue after travelling, here are some ways to help you get out of this bad feeling. Give yourself a week to relax first. You don’t need to think what to do next and just be relaxed. You can show your pet some love if you have one, watch your favourite TV shows or listen to relaxing music. After a week, do something useful and keep yourself busy. For example, when I came back from Europe, I felt blue because I didn’t have a job and was living with my parents. So I decided to find a job and make myself busy. If you don’t need a job, just try something like painting your room or tidying your house. You can also do exercise, learn to cook, visit your friends and just do anything you want! It’s also a good idea to make a photo book and plan your next trip. Your photos taken on vacation help you remember the good times you had. And you can plan to take another trip. Just like Elbert Hubbard said, “No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one.” Next time when you feel blue, remember to try these ways. You’ll find going back to the real life is not so terrible as you think. 1．Which of the following is NOT suggested for post-vacation blues? A．Buying a new pet. B．Painting your room.

She knocked on my door and asked in a low voice, “Kevin, do you want to talk with me?” I didn’t answer. I was too sad to speak. She tried again. Still, I said nothing. Then I saw a piece of paper slip under my door. It said, “If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other.” I read it but still didn’t want to reply. I just sat in the dark, feeling sad. Half an hour later, I finally picked up a pen. I wrote down everything that was in my heart. My note said, “No one in this family loves me. I am not the youngest or the oldest, and I am not the smartest. Tommy thinks I am too weak, and Dad wishes he had another Kevin who is better at basketball. You’re never around to even notice me.” I pushed the note out under the door. Soon, Mom wrote back: “Kevin, I do love you, and everyone in this family loves you.” I was still crying softly. A few minutes later, I wrote another note: “Thanks!” She asked, “For what?” I replied, “For loving me.” From that night on, our family tried harder to care about each other.

Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, and Lake Superior, known as the Great Lakes, make up the largest fresh surface water system in the world. The Great Lakes cover about 245,660 km². So how much fresh water is that? A lot! Scientists think the Great Lakes hold about 22 percent of the world's fresh surface water supply (供应) and about 95 percent of the United States’ supply. Although the Great Lakes are made up of five different lakes, together they become one big body of fresh water. Water flows (流) from Lake Superior to Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. It then flows south to Lake Erie before following the Niagara River over Niagara Falls and into Lake Ontario. At last, the St. Lawrence River takes Lake Ontario’s water to the Atlantic Ocean. Besides the five Great Lakes themselves, many rivers and thousands of smaller lakes—called “inland (内陆的) lakes”—are part of the system. The Great Lakes are so big that they are more like inland seas than typical lakes. People can even surf (冲浪) on parts of the Great Lakes if the weather conditions are right! When children see one of the Great Lakes for the first time, they might think it's the ocean in the wrong way because of its large size. There are many ways to have fun in, on and around the Great Lakes. Besides swimming, boating and fishing, there are many fun places to visit. 1．How does the writer show that there’s much fresh water in the Great Lake in Paragraph 2? A．By telling stories. B．By showing numbers. C．By giving examples. D．By comparing two things. 2．What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Where the Great Lakes are. B．Why the Great Lakes are famous C．How big the Great Lakes are D．How water of the Great Lakes flows into the ocean. 3．Why are the Great Lakes like inland seas? A．Because they’re very large. B．Because people can surf there. C．Because they’re close to the ocean. D．Because they have good weather conditions. 4．What will the writer probably talk about in the following paragraph? A．Stories about the Great Lakes. B．Animals around the Great Lakes. C．The importance of the Great Lakes. D．Fun places around the Great Lakes . 5．What is the theme of this passage? A．Life & Communication B．Food & Health C．Nature & Geography D．Science & Future life My name is George. When I was in middle school, I experienced a strong earthquake.

Chopsticks have been used in Asia for over 3,000 years. The earliest chopsticks were discovered in Henan, China about 1200 BCE. Over the next 2,000 years, they spread throughout East and Southeast Asia. The three most well-known types are Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Chinese chopsticks are longer with wide, rounded points at the end, mostly made of plastic or bamboo. While Japanese chopsticks are shorter and more pointed. Korean ones are flat rather than round and made of metal rather than wood. It’s said that ancient Royalty (皇室) used silver chopsticks to see if their food was poisoned (有毒的). In Southeast Asia, Vietnamese chopsticks are similar to Chinese ones. Chopsticks are not just eating tools. A proper chopstick grip (握法) can greatly improve dining experience. First, place the top part of two sticks between your thumb and index finger. Hold the upper chopstick gently with your first three fingers while resting the lower one at your ring finger. Meanwhile, put your thumb at the side of your index-finger nail. The upper stick is moved up and down with the movements of the index finger and middle finger. This way, pieces of food can be easily grasped between the tips of the chopsticks. ________ The first rule is to grab and not stab (刺入) food with the tip of your chopsticks. Second, don’t set chopsticks vertically (垂直的) into the rice in your bowl. In some cultures, such positioning of chopsticks is considered as a symbol associated with death. Third, watch where you point your chopsticks. It’s rude to point them directly at others. Following the guidelines above, you not only show respect for the cultural traditions about chopsticks, but also enrich your overall dining experience. 1．We can learn about the ________ of chopsticks in Paragraph 2. ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ features discovery materials types sales A．①②③ B．③④⑤ C．①③④ D．①②⑤ 2．How many rules about using chopsticks rightly are there in Paragraph 4?

A．It’s not easy for you to get the use of chopsticks. B．Understanding chopstick manners is also necessary. C．Remember to choose suitable chopsticks for meals. D．Chopsticks play an important role at Chinese table. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．The spread of Chinese culture B．Chopsticks, Treasure of Asian culture C．Chopsticks,ancient eating tools D．The table manners in Asia. Dear Li Hua, How’s everything going? I’m now studying in Canada and I’m having a great time here. I’ve experienced many interesting cultural differences. One thing is about table manners. Here, people usually use knives and forks to eat. When we have dinner together, we don’t start eating until everyone is served. Also, we say “bless you” when someone sneezes. It’s a polite way here. Another thing is about festivals. Last week, I celebrated Thanksgiving with my host family. We had a big dinner and gave thanks for what we have. It was really warm and meaningful. I’ve also tried to communicate with local people. At first, I was afraid of making mistakes, but they were very patient and friendly. Now, I feel much more confident.

She would often get angry at her friends and family because it’s difficult for her to control it. So her anger would sometimes get the best of her. One day, Lila and her best friend Maya were playing a game when Lila suddenly fell down. Maya laughed. She thought Lila was just being playful and not hurt, but Lila felt differently. She felt embarrassed (尴尬的). Without thinking, Lila got angry at Maya, calling her names and pushing her away. Maya was hurt and didn’t understand why, and she ran off crying. Lila was left alone, feeling sorry about her actions. The next day, Lila went into the forest, hoping to find a way to control her anger and make up with Maya. She saw a wise old owl (猫头鹰) in a tree. “Hello, young girl,” the owl said. “What brings you here?” Lila explained her situation to the owl. “Anger is powerful,” the owl said. “It can be helpful in encouraging us to take action, but it can also drive us to strike out (猛烈攻击) and hurt others and ourselves. The key is to learn how to control it.” The owl gave Lila a small stone and told her to keep it. When she felt angry, she could hold it and take three deep breaths. It wasn’t easy at first, but with practice, Lila learned how to control her anger and think before she acted. She also said sorry to Maya and promised never to let her anger hurt Maya again.

Every boy wants to find treasure. And Tom was no different. One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea. “Where can we look for treasure?” asked Huck. “It’s hidden on islands, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in haunted (闹鬼的) houses.” So, one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely place, which made the boys feel very frightened. They entered quietly, and explored downstairs. There were cobwebs everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped. “What is it?” whispered Huck, going white with fright. “Keep quiet! There’s someone downstairs.” The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs. One was an old Spaniard in a wide sombrero hat and the other was dirty and unpleasant-looking. Tom and Huck shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it was Indian Joe. He said, “It’s time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from the robbery (抢劫)?” “Let’s keep $30 each and leave the bag here.” The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins. The two boys forgot all their fears when they saw there was real treasure downstairs. Then Indian Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something. “What is it?” asked the other man. “It’s a box,” said Indian Joe. And he put in his hand and pulled out a handful of gold coins. The other man found the boys’ tools, and they soon pulled out the box. “There’s thousands of dollars in there,” said Indian Joe. “The Murrell Gang used this area one summer,” said his partner. “They must have hidden their money here.” “What will we do with this, Joe? Will we bury (埋) it again?” “No, someone might find it,” said Indian Joe. “Let’s bury it in the number two den.” Tom and Huck got up as soon as the two men left.

Many teenagers worry about study, friendship and future, but 14-year-old Li Wei from a small town in Hubei shows that kindness and persistence can light up life. In Grade 7, Li Wei found that left-behind children in his community felt lonely because their parents worked in big cities and seldom came home. These kids had no playmates and few books. Li Wei wanted to help them, so he shared his idea with teachers and classmates, and many joined him. They set up a volunteer reading corner in the community center. Li Wei spent nearly two hours every weekend preparing books and interesting activities. He patiently communicated with shy kids and read stories for them. Gradually, these children became more outgoing and confident. Li Wei and his classmates also raised money to buy books, pens and notebooks, writing encouraging words on each book to warm the kids. The reading corner has run for over two years and helped more than 50 left-behind children. Li Wei keeps volunteering and feels happy and proud. His story tells everyone that a warm heart and small actions can make a difference, and teenagers should spread kindness and help people around them. 1．Why did the left-behind children feel lonely? A．They had no friends at school. B．Their parents couldn’t stay with them often. C．They didn’t like their community. D．They had too much homework to do. 2．How long did Li Wei spend in the reading corner every weekend? A．About one hour. B．About two hours. C．About three hours.

It is not only a way to help people in need, but also a good chance for teenagers to improve themselves and enrich their life experiences. As an eighth-grade student, I have taken part in many volunteer activities in my spare time. Last Saturday, I joined a volunteer group to help clean up the city park. When we arrived in the morning, we found some rubbish everywhere. There were plastic bags, empty bottles and waste paper on the grass and along the roads. We divided ourselves into small groups. Some picked up the rubbish with tools, some swept the paths, and others reminded visitors to protect the environment. At first, some visitors looked at us in surprise, but soon many of them began to follow our example and stopped throwing rubbish casually. After three hours’ hard work, the whole park became clean and tidy. The fresh air and green trees made people feel comfortable. Although we felt a little tired, we were full of joy and pride. We knew our small effort could make our city more beautiful. Besides cleaning parks, I also go to the old people’s home once a month. I chat with the lonely old people, help them wash clothes and tell them interesting stories. Most of the old people there live alone and they really need care and company. Every time we leave, they always thank us with warm smiles. Volunteering teaches me a lot. It makes me learn to care about others instead of only thinking of myself. It also improves my communication skills and makes me more outgoing. I believe volunteering is a meaningful thing. I will keep on doing volunteer work and call on more classmates to join us to pass on warmth and kindness to our society. 1．What does the writer think of volunteering?
