Some students like doing volunteer work, while others don’t. So should students do volunteer work? I think they should. Here are my reasons. Doing volunteer work can help students get into colleges. Many colleges look at the time students spend doing volunteer work. If they don’t do any volunteer work, they may not be able to get into a college. Not all students go to college after leaving high school. If you think that those students don’t need to do volunteer work, you’re wrong. Students can get a lot of skills by doing volunteer work. ________. Everyone lives in a community. Doing volunteer work helps you know that you’re part of your community. When you know that, you’ll love your community. Doing volunteer work can help those in need. It can improve some people’s lives. Research (研究) shows that when you assist others, you’ll be happier, too. So doing volunteer work is good not only for the receiver but also for the giver. Now we can say that doing volunteer work is very important for students. So students should do volunteer work. 1．What can we know from Paragraph 2? A．Many children enjoy volunteering at college. B．Many colleges ask students to volunteer for them. C．Many colleges organize volunteer work for their students. D．Many colleges like students with experiences of doing volunteer work. 2．What can we put into the blank “________”? A．Doing volunteer work teaches you skills. B．We cannot live by ourselves in this world C．You can make friends by being a volunteer. D．Helping others can make you feel good. 3．What does the underlined “assist” mean? A．push B．compare C．compete D．help 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了学生是否应该做志愿者工作这一问题，作者认为学生应该做志愿者工作，并给出了做志愿者工作能帮助学生进入大学、获得技能、融入社区以及帮助有需要的人等多方面理由。 1．第二段提到：“Many colleges look at the time students spend doing volunteer work. If they don’t do any volunteer work, they may not be able to get into a college”，说明许多大学看重学生做志愿者工作的时间，不做志愿者工作可能无法进入大学，也就是许多大学喜欢有做志愿者工作经历的学生。 2．第四段提到：“Everyone lives in a community. Doing volunteer work helps you know that you’re part of your community. When you know that, you’ll love your community”，此段主要围绕做志愿者工作能让人融入社区展开，B选项“We cannot live by ourselves in this world”能很好地引出下文关于社区的内容。 3．第五段提到：“Doing volunteer work can help those in need. It can improve some people’s lives. Research (研究) shows that when you assist others, you’ll be happier, too”，根据前文说做志愿者工作能帮助有需要的人，可知这里“assist”意思是帮助。 4．第一段提出学生是否应该做志愿者工作以及作者认为应该做并给出理由；第二到五段分别阐述了做志愿者工作能帮助学生进入大学、获得技能、融入社区以及帮助有需要的人等理由；第六段总结做志愿者工作对学生很重要，学生应该做志愿者工作。所以结构是①/②③④⑤/⑥。 Every Friday afternoon, you can see a group of students in the “Sunshine Book Corner” of No. 3 Middle School. They are the volunteer managers of the book corner, and they spend their after-school time taking care of this small but warm corner. The book corner was set up three years ago. At first, there were only 200 books, most of which were donated by teachers and students. Now, there are more than 1,500 books here. The volunteers do a lot of work every week. They sort the books by different subjects, check the books to make sure they are in good condition, and help students borrow and return books. They also make special posters to recommend good books to their classmates. Li Mei, a Grade 8 student, is one of the volunteers. “I joined the team last year. I love reading, so I want to share the joy of reading with more people,” she said. “Every time I see a student find his favorite book here, I feel very happy and proud. This volunteer job also helps me develop my communication and organizational skills. I have made many new friends here too.” The book corner also has some special activities. For example, every month, they hold a “book sharing meeting”, where students can talk about their favorite books and exchange books with each other. They also send books to the village schools nearby twice a year. “We hope to pass on the warmth of books to more children,” said Li Mei. Volunteering at the book corner is not always easy. Sometimes the volunteers have to spend a lot of time sorting hundreds of books, but they never complain. They believe that every small effort is meaningful, and can help build a better reading environment for everyone. 1．When was the Sunshine Book Corner set up? A．One year ago. B．Two years ago. C．Three years ago. D．Four years ago. 2．What do the volunteers NOT do according to Paragraph 2? A．Sort the books by subjects. B．Write new books for the corner. C．Check the condition of books. D．Help students borrow and return books. 3．Why did Li Mei join the volunteer team? A．She wanted to get more books for free. B．She wanted to share the joy of reading with others. C．She wanted to get good grades in exams. D．She wanted to finish her volunteer homework. 4．What does the underlined word “donated” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．赠送 B．借阅 C．购买 D．回收 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How to set up a school book corner. B．The volunteer work at the Sunshine Book Corner. C．The special activities of No. 3 Middle School. D．How to be a good volunteer at school. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了第三中学“阳光图书角”的学生志愿者们，他们打理图书角、开展读书活动、捐书助学，用志愿行动分享阅读快乐，打造温暖的阅读环境。 1．根据第二段第一句“The book corner was set up three years ago.”可知，图书角是三年前建立的。 2．第二段明确列出志愿者工作“They sort the books by different subjects, check the books to make sure they are in good condition, and help students borrow and return books. They also make special posters...”，不包括“为图书角写新书”。 3．根据第三段李梅的话“I love reading, so I want to share the joy of reading with more people”可知，她是为了和更多人分享阅读的乐趣。 4．结合“At first, there were only 200 books, most of which were donated by teachers and students.”可知，图书角的书籍来源多为师生捐赠，“donate”意为“捐赠、赠送”。 5．文章围绕第三中学“阳光图书角”展开，介绍了其建立背景、志愿者的日常工作、具体活动以及志愿者的感悟，核心内容是阳光图书角的志愿工作。 Do you often find yourself feeling tired and stressed? Do you wish to have more energy and a better mood? There is a simple solution: volunteering. Yes, helping others can actually help yourself! First, volunteering improves your health. Studies show that people who volunteer regularly have lower blood pressure and live longer. The act of giving reduces stress and increases happiness. Second, volunteering builds social connections. When you work with others for a common cause, you meet people who share your values. This can lead to true friendships. Unlike online communication, face-to-face volunteer work creates real bonds. Third, volunteering gives you a sense of purpose. Many people feel lost after retirement or graduation. Volunteering provides meaningful activities that make you feel needed. It reminds you that you can make a difference in the world. Finally, volunteering creates a ripple effect. Your small act of kindness can encourage others to do good. One person cleaning a park may inspire neighbors to join. Soon, the whole community becomes better. So, why not start today? Find a cause you care about and give a few hours each month. The benefits are endless. 1．How does the writer begin the text? A．By telling a story. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions. D．By listing numbers. 2．What does the underlined word “bonds” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Problems. B．Connections. C．Differences. D．Rules. 3．What is the structure of the text? (①=Para.1 ②=Para.2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤=Para.5 ⑥=Para.6) A．①/②③④/⑤⑥ B．①②/③④/⑤⑥ C．①/②③④⑤/⑥ D．①②③/④⑤/⑥ 4．Which is the best title for this text? A．How to Volunteer Wisely B．The Health Benefits of Volunteering C．How Volunteering Helps You D．Where to Find Volunteer Opportunities 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了志愿服务对个人的多重益处，包括改善健康、建立社交联系、获得目标感、产生连锁效应，论证了帮助他人就是帮助自己的道理。 1．原文第1段以两个问句“Do you often find yourself feeling tired and stressed? Do you wish to have more energy and a better mood?”开篇，因此作者是通过提问的方式引出主题。 2．原文第3段围绕“volunteering builds social connections”展开，“bonds”与前文“connections”呼应，意为“联系、纽带”。 3．文章结构为：第①段总起提出志愿服务的益处；第②-⑤段分别从健康、社交、目标感、连锁效应四个方面分述；第⑥段总结号召。对应结构为①/②③④⑤/⑥。 4．全文核心是论证志愿服务如何帮助自己，因此最佳标题为“How Volunteering Helps You”。 二、U7单元话题热点预测 When the children arrived at the tunnel, they looked up and saw something strange. The trees on the hill were moving down the hill! It was a landslide. The children knew the trees would fall on the railway line. If the train hit the trees, there would be a big accident. They had to stop the next train. The next train was arriving at 11:29, only five minutes away, and it was just 15 kilometers from them. “We can run towards the train and wave to the driver,” Phyllis said. “He won’t think there is anything wrong,” Roberta said. “We always wave to him.” “We need something red to wave,” Peter said. “Red is for danger.” “My skirt is red,” Phyllis said. “I’ll tear pieces off.” Phyllis tore strips (条) from the bottom of her skirt. “We need sticks to tie the strip to,” Peter said. The children ran to a nearby tree. With his knife, Peter cut off three thin branches (树枝). He tied each of the strips of red skirt to one of the branches. “Now we have red flags,” he said. “When we wave these, the engine driver will know something is wrong. He will stop the train and ask us what the matter is.” The children ran through the tunnel and waited at the other side for the train to come. When the train arrived, the children waved their flags. Roberta was so excited that she fainted (晕). The engine driver saw the red flags and stopped the train at once. All the passengers cheered for the children. — Adapted from The Railway Children 1．How did the children realize the train was in danger? A．The train driver waved to them first. B．Roberta fainted and they knew something was wrong. C．They heard a warning sound from the railway station. D．They saw the trees moving down the hill in a landslide. 2．Why did the children choose something red to stop the train? A．Because red meant danger. B．Because red was their favorite color. C．Because Phyllis’s skirt was red. D．Because red was a traditional railway color. 3．What did the children use to stop the train? A．Self-made flags. B．Loud shouts. C．Big branches.

A．How to Make Red Flags B．A Day at the Railway Station C．Roberta’s Dangerous Adventure D．Three Brave Children Save a Train 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．A 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，节选自《铁路边的孩子们》。文章讲述了三个孩子（Phyllis, Roberta, Peter）在隧道口目睹山体滑坡，预见到火车即将面临的危险。他们急中生智，用Phyllis的红裙子和树枝制作成红色旗帜，成功拦停了火车，避免了一场重大事故，展现了孩子们的勇敢与智慧。 1．根据文章第一段“When the children arrived at the tunnel, they looked up and saw something strange. The trees on the hill were moving down the hill! It was a landslide.”以及第二段“The children knew the trees would fall on the railway line. If the train hit the trees, there would be a big accident.”可知，孩子们是通过看到山体滑坡，意识到火车处于危险之中的。 2．根据文章第五段Peter所说“We need something red to wave,” Peter said. “Red is for danger.”可知，孩子们选择红色的东西来拦停火车是因为红色代表危险。 3．从文章第六段“Phyllis tore strips (条) from the bottom of her skirt.”、第八段“The children ran to a nearby tree. With his knife, Peter cut off three thin branches (树枝). He tied each of the strips of red skirt to one of the branches.”以及第九段“‘Now we have red flags,’ he said.”可知，孩子们用的是自制的旗帜来拦停火车。 4．事件的正确顺序为：④孩子们看到树木移动（第一段）；②Phyllis从她的裙子上撕下布条（第六段）；①孩子们等待火车到来（倒数第二段）；③孩子们阻止了一场可怕的事故（倒数第二段火车司机看到红旗停车）。所以顺序是④②①③。 5．全文讲述了三个孩子发现山体滑坡后，用自制红旗成功拦停火车、避免事故的故事。 Each year, on April 23, World Book Day celebrations take place all over the world.

Here are some famous Chinese books for you bookworms (书虫).”可知，核心目的是介绍这四本中国经典书籍。 Foxes with nine tails, animals with human faces and fish bodies, turtles with bird heads and snake tails, these magical animals are from Shan Hai Jing (The Classic of Mountains and Seas). This old book played an important role in the world and inspired (给予灵感) today’s works. Let’s learn more about it! Shan Hai Jing took shape before the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC). Like an encyclopedia (百科全书), it writes about the world in the eyes of people at that time. The 30,000-word book records about 40 states, 550 mountains, 300 rivers, more than 100 people in history and 400 interesting animals. Shan Hai Jing had a deep influence (影响) on the culture of mythology (神话学) in the world. It was taken to Japan during the Sui (581-618) and Tang (618-907) dynasties, or much earlier. In Japan, it was popular. People there once saw it as a guidebook for traveling in China. The book’s monsters (怪兽) were also popular. Shan Hai Jing has inspired many works. Liu Siliang is a teacher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He said the book inspired the writing of Journey to the West and Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio《聊斋志异》. Pop culture works also borrow ideas from the book. Some of the animals in the book even go into movies, such as Zouwu, the star monster in Shan Hai Jing. It has a tiger-body with stripes of five colors. Its tail is longer than its body. It can travel 1,600 kilometers in a day. We can see it in the popular movie Fantastic Beasts II in 2021. 1．Why did the writer talk about the strange animals in Paragraph 1? A．To answer some questions. B．To give some examples. C．To interest the readers. D．To make a conclusion. 2．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2? A．The encyclopedia. B．The mythology. C．Shan Hai Jing. D．The monsters. 3．Which of the following can you find in Shan Hai Jing? 1. states 2. mountains 3. rivers 4. plants 5. art A．1234 B．123 C．234 D．345 4．What happened when Shan Hai Jing arrived in Japan? A．People liked the book except for the monsters. B．People were afraid of the monsters in the book. C．It was too difficult for people to understand. D．People liked both the book and the monsters. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Shan Hai Jing has inspired works across the world. B．Shan Hai Jing includes many special monsters. C．Shan Hai Jing sells very well across the world. D．All people like the monsters from Shan Hai Jing. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了《山海经》这部古老书籍，讲述了其成书时间、内容，对世界神话文化的影响，对众多作品的启发以及在日本的情况等。 1．第一段提到“Foxes with nine tails, animals with human faces and fish bodies, turtles with bird heads and snake tails, these magical animals are from Shan Hai Jing (The Classic of Mountains and Seas).”作者列举了《山海经》中各种奇特的动物，目的是引起读者的兴趣。 2．第二段“Shan Hai Jing took shape before the Qin Dynasty (221-206BC). Like an encyclopedia (百科全书), it writes about the world in the eyes of people at that time”中，前文提到了《山海经》，后面说像百科全书一样记录当时人们眼中的世界，所以“it”指代的是“Shan Hai Jing”。 3．第二段提到“The 30,000-word book records about 40 states, 550 mountains, 300 rivers, more than 100 people in history and 400 interesting animals.”可知在《山海经》中能找到州、山、河，没有提到植物和艺术。所以能找到1、2、3。 4．第三段提到“In Japan, it was popular. People there once saw it as a guidebook for traveling in China. The book’s monsters (怪兽) were also popular.”说明《山海经》到了日本后，书和书中的怪兽都很受欢迎。 5．文章最后一段提到“Shan Hai Jing has inspired many works.”以及前文对《山海经》对世界文化、作品等方面影响的阐述，可知文章主要讲的是《山海经》启发了世界各地的作品。 三、U6单元话题热点预测 Our culture is the system we use to build our identity (身份). All living creatures are part of a culture. Even animals have a culture! So what is culture? It’s the way we behave in a group. It begins with each individual family. Within our families we do things to build relationships with each other. This can include routines for doing things. It also includes traditions. Traditions are activities that are repeated on a regular basis. Culture is not limited to individual family groups. The real strength of culture is in larger community groups. These larger groups are called societies. Every society makes rules for itself. It decides how people should act in different situations. Some of these rules are written down. Some are just things that are automatically expected of all members of that society. Often, cultures can be identified by what the people believe. Cultures are also known by what they choose to include in their art. Sometimes a society forms around people who speak the same language. Cultures may also be known for their customs, including the foods they make and the things they do. Our cultures help us understand who we are and what we believe. There are very strong emotions connecting us to our own society. Two different cultures may disagree on something, especially if they both feel strongly about it. When that happens, war is a common result. People are learning better ways to communicate. The more we learn, the more we understand the differences in cultures. 1．Why does the author say “Even animals have a culture!”? A．To start an opinion. B．To give an example. C．To set up a mystery. D．To make a comparison. 2．According to the passage, where does culture begin? A．The family. B．The society. C．The animal. D．The war. 3．What is the main purpose of Para. 3? A．To explain how to write rules for a new society. B．To show that food is an important part of customs. C．To encourage people to join larger community groups. D．To explain what culture is and how it is expressed in societies. 4．Why do wars sometimes begin between cultures? A．Because of the unwritten rules. B．Because of the strong disagreement. C．Because of the poor communication. D．Because of the unexpected emotion. 5．What can we get from the passage? A．It is impossible for different cultures to agree. B．Animals and humans have the same kind of culture. C．Learning more helps us understand cultural differences. D．Communication is the only way to build a new identity. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文探讨了文化的定义、文化从家庭到社会的扩展、文化冲突的原因以及学习沟通对理解文化差异的重要性。 1．第一段作者先提出“All living creatures are part of a culture.”，随后说“Even animals have a culture!”，以此引出关于文化范畴与本质的讨论，该表述的作用是引出核心观点。 2．第二段指出：“It begins with each individual family.”，说明文化从家庭开始。 3．第三段解释了文化在更大社区群体（社会）中的表现，包括规则、信仰、艺术、语言、习俗等，因此本段主要说明文化是什么以及它在社会中如何体现。 4．第四段指出：“Two different cultures may disagree on something…war is a common result.”，说明战争有时是因为强烈的观点分歧。 5．最后一段指出：“The more we learn, the more we understand the differences in cultures.”，说明学习更多有助于我们理解文化差异。 Wood-block printing, dyeing (染色) and making thread-binding (线装的) notebooks, students from different universities (大学) in Egypt (埃及) took part in a cultural exchange activity to experience China’s traditional crafts (手工艺). The activity called “China in Classic Books” (典籍里的中国) was held on September 14th between the young people of Egypt and China’s Shandong Province through video link. Adham Ehab, a student in the Chinese Department at Cairo University, made the thread-binding notebooks in the same way that they’re traditionally made in Shandong. “Such activities make us know more about the Chinese culture and love the Chinese language more,” the Egyptian student said. Jiao Xinyue, a Chinese teacher at Cairo University who also teaches at the Confucius Institute of Cairo University, said that the increasing Chinese economic power and the growing cooperation between China and Egypt provide more chances for students to learn Chinese. “The number of students in learning the Chinese language at Cairo University is on the rise every year,” she added. ECU vice-president Rasha El-Kholy said that, “the event aims at connecting the Egyptian and the Chinese culture through learning about some traditional Chinese ways of printing and handicrafts. Connecting ancient civilizations (文明) can push us forward towards a future of innovation (创新), research and development,” she said. Gianna Xu, the head of the Chinese Bridge Club in Cairo, said “ the cultural exchange between the youths of the two countries will deepen the friendship among future generations, hoping that such cultural activities will nourish (滋养) ‘the tree of friendship and cooperation between China and Egypt’”. 1．What does Paragraph 1 tell us? ① when was the activity  ② what was the activity about ③ what rules should be followed  ④ what was the influence (影响) of the activity ⑤ how was the activity held  ⑥ how many people took part in the activity A．①②⑤ B．②③⑥ C．①④⑤ D．③④⑥ 2．Which of the following best shows the structure of this text?

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.

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? A．Resting at home. B．Playing outside. C．Driving a car. D．Riding a bike. 2．Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A．the storm stopped B．we found a safe place C．things got worse D．things began to get better 3．What happened first when the tornado began? A．The hail came suddenly. B．Dark clouds rolled up. C．The temperature fell. D．Animals hid themselves. 4．What is the right order of the story? ① The woman drove to the overpass. ② Maria and I had a bike ride. ③ A storm was moving our way. ④ Ice hit the windows of the car. ⑤ We got into a woman’s car. A．②③⑤④① B．②③①④⑤ C．③①②⑤④ D．③②①④⑤ 5．How did they feel when it was all over? A．Tired and nervous. B．Sad and painful. C．Afraid but excited. D．Worried but lucky. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文讲述了作者和Maria在骑自行车途中遭遇龙卷风，被一位女士救下并成功躲避风暴的经历。 1．第一段指出：“Maria and I had a 30-mile bike ride”，说明作者当时在骑自行车。 2．前文描述天气恶化（第二段“a big storm was moving our way” “Dark clouds rolled up”），后文提到天气进一步恶化（第三段“The temperature fell suddenly” “the sky had now turned dark green”），因此空缺处应填“things got worse”。 3．第二段指出：“By noon, we knew a big storm was moving our way. 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。 The Floating Gardens of Bangladesh (孟加拉国) In Bangladesh, a country that experiences frequent floods, farmers have found a clever way to grow food even when their land is underwater. They create floating gardens. For centuries, farmers in this South Asian nation have used water hyacinths (水葫芦) to build floating rafts(木筏). They collect the plants, let them dry slightly, and then layer them together to form a platform. On these floating beds, they grow vegetables like spinach, eggplant, and pumpkins. “When the floods come, our land disappears under water,” explained farmer Muhammad Islam, “but our gardens float. We don’t lose our crops.” The floating gardens do more than just provide food. They also create jobs for women in rural (乡村的) communities. Women help build the rafts and harvest the vegetables, earning money for their families. Climate change has made flooding more terrible in Bangladesh. Sea levels are rising, and storms are becoming stronger. For many farmers, floating gardens are no longer just a tradition, they are a necessity. Scientists from around the world have come to study these gardens. They believe the technique could help farmers in other flood-prone (易涝的) countries, such as Vietnam and Myanmar. “This is traditional knowledge that is becoming more valuable every year,” said Dr. Amina Rahman, a researcher from Dhaka University.“The farmers figured out how to live with nature instead of fighting against it.” Today, more than 100,000 families in Bangladesh use floating gardens. The government is helping to spread the technique to other regions. As one farmer put it, “The water used to be our enemy. Now we have learned to make it our friend.” 1．What problem do farmers in Bangladesh face? A．They don’t have enough land for farming. B．The soil is too dry for growing vegetables. C．Their land often floods and goes underwater. D．They don’t have enough workers to farm. 2．How do farmers create floating gardens? A．They build wooden platforms above the water. B．They use water hyacinths to build floating rafts. C．They grow vegetables directly in the river. D．They use rafts to take water out of the fields. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A．the water B．the technique C．the floating garden D．the land 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Floating gardens cost much money. B．Floating gardens suit flood-prone areas. C．Only simple fruits are grown here. D．It is a new modern invention for farming. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Terrible floods in Bangladesh. B．Ways for village women to make money. C．Useful floating gardens in Bangladesh. D．Traditional food in South Asia. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文介绍了孟加拉国农民为应对频繁洪水，发明的一种可持续农业模式——漂浮菜园，包括它的制作方法、多重作用，以及对全球易涝地区的借鉴意义。 1．根据文章第一段“In Bangladesh, a country that experiences frequent floods, farmers have found a clever way to grow food even when their land is underwater. They create floating gardens.”可知，孟加拉国农民面临的核心问题是洪水频发导致土地被淹没，无法耕种。 2．根据文章第二段中“For centuries, farmers in this South Asian nation have used water hyacinths (水葫芦) to build floating rafts(木筏). They collect the plants, let them dry slightly, and then layer them together to form a platform.”可知，农民是用水葫芦搭建浮筏来打造漂浮菜园的。 3．根据文章最后一段中“As one farmer put it, ‘The water used to be our enemy. Now we have learned to make it our friend.’”再结合上下文语境，这里的“it”指代的是前文提到的“the water”，体现了农民从对抗洪水到利用洪水的转变。 4．根据文章第六段中“They believe the technique could help farmers in other flood-prone (易涝的) countries, such as Vietnam and Myanmar.”，这说明漂浮菜园这种模式适合洪水多发、易涝的地区，是对全文内容的合理推断。 5．全文围绕孟加拉国的漂浮菜园展开，介绍了它的背景、制作方式、解决的粮食与就业问题，以及推广价值，因此核心主旨是介绍孟加拉国实用的漂浮菜园。 五、U1-U4单元话题热点预测 The Dead Sea is located in the Jordan Rift Valley in Asia. It sits at about 430 metres below sea level, making it the lowest point on earth’s land. What’s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake with a salt concentration (含盐度) of more than 30 per cent, which is about ten times saltier than typical seawater. This makes it one of the saltiest bodies of water on earth. The Dead Sea stays so salty due to its special natural conditions. Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount of fresh water flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the fresh water to evaporate (蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. So it is also known as the Salt Sea. If you were to swim in the Dead Sea, you wouldn’t see any sea life—no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to survive there. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea. However, don’t let the name or not having any sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys (救生圈). In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the shore (海岸), you’ll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or newspapers. 1．Where is the Dead Sea? A．In the middle of a desert. B．On top of a high mountain. C．In a rift valley in Asia. D．In a deep valley in America. 2．Why did the Dead Sea get its name “Dead Sea”? A．It has no living things. B．No water runs into it. C．It has very little rainfall. D．No people live around it. 3．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Swimming in the Dead Sea is tiring. B．The Dead Sea is a popular place for tourists. C．The salt in the Dead Sea is bad for people’s skin. D．The Dead Sea is dangerous for people who can’t swim. 4．What’s the purpose of this passage? A．To show how the Dead Sea formed. B．To explain how the Dead Sea got its name. C．To let people know more about the Dead Sea. D．To teach people how to float in the Dead Sea. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了死海的相关知识。 1．根据第一段“The Dead Sea is located in the Jordan Rift Valley in Asia”，可知死海位于亚洲的山谷中。 2．由第四段“The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to survive there. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea”，可知死海之所以叫死海，是因为含盐量太高导致没有生物能在那里生存。 3．最后一段明确指出“If you walk along the shore, you’ll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or newspapers”，说明前往死海游玩的游客众多。 4．本文围绕死海展开，介绍了死海的地理特点和名字由来。C项符合文章主旨。 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.

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”。 How to Read the Medicine Label (标签) Warnings △ Take it with a lot of water so that the medicine won’t stay in your throat. △ Eat some food before taking the medicine so that your stomach won’t be upset. △ May make you sleepy.

Some students like doing volunteer work, while others don’t. So should students do volunteer work? I think they should. Here are my reasons. Doing volunteer work can help students get into colleges. Many colleges look at the time students spend doing volunteer work. If they don’t do any volunteer work, they may not be able to get into a college. Not all students go to college after leaving high school. If you think that those students don’t need to do volunteer work, you’re wrong. Students can get a lot of skills by doing volunteer work. ________. Everyone lives in a community. Doing volunteer work helps you know that you’re part of your community. When you know that, you’ll love your community. Doing volunteer work can help those in need. It can improve some people’s lives. Research (研究) shows that when you assist others, you’ll be happier, too. So doing volunteer work is good not only for the receiver but also for the giver. Now we can say that doing volunteer work is very important for students. So students should do volunteer work. 1．What can we know from Paragraph 2? A．Many children enjoy volunteering at college. B．Many colleges ask students to volunteer for them. C．Many colleges organize volunteer work for their students.

They are the volunteer managers of the book corner, and they spend their after-school time taking care of this small but warm corner. The book corner was set up three years ago. At first, there were only 200 books, most of which were donated by teachers and students. Now, there are more than 1,500 books here. The volunteers do a lot of work every week. They sort the books by different subjects, check the books to make sure they are in good condition, and help students borrow and return books. They also make special posters to recommend good books to their classmates. Li Mei, a Grade 8 student, is one of the volunteers. “I joined the team last year. I love reading, so I want to share the joy of reading with more people,” she said. “Every time I see a student find his favorite book here, I feel very happy and proud. This volunteer job also helps me develop my communication and organizational skills. I have made many new friends here too.” The book corner also has some special activities. For example, every month, they hold a “book sharing meeting”, where students can talk about their favorite books and exchange books with each other. They also send books to the village schools nearby twice a year. “We hope to pass on the warmth of books to more children,” said Li Mei. Volunteering at the book corner is not always easy. Sometimes the volunteers have to spend a lot of time sorting hundreds of books, but they never complain. They believe that every small effort is meaningful, and can help build a better reading environment for everyone. 1．When was the Sunshine Book Corner set up? A．One year ago. B．Two years ago.

D．How to be a good volunteer at school. Do you often find yourself feeling tired and stressed? Do you wish to have more energy and a better mood? There is a simple solution: volunteering. Yes, helping others can actually help yourself! First, volunteering improves your health. Studies show that people who volunteer regularly have lower blood pressure and live longer. The act of giving reduces stress and increases happiness. Second, volunteering builds social connections. When you work with others for a common cause, you meet people who share your values. This can lead to true friendships. Unlike online communication, face-to-face volunteer work creates real bonds. Third, volunteering gives you a sense of purpose. Many people feel lost after retirement or graduation. Volunteering provides meaningful activities that make you feel needed. It reminds you that you can make a difference in the world. Finally, volunteering creates a ripple effect. Your small act of kindness can encourage others to do good. One person cleaning a park may inspire neighbors to join. Soon, the whole community becomes better. So, why not start today? Find a cause you care about and give a few hours each month. The benefits are endless. 1．How does the writer begin the text?

The trees on the hill were moving down the hill! It was a landslide. The children knew the trees would fall on the railway line. If the train hit the trees, there would be a big accident. They had to stop the next train. The next train was arriving at 11:29, only five minutes away, and it was just 15 kilometers from them. “We can run towards the train and wave to the driver,” Phyllis said. “He won’t think there is anything wrong,” Roberta said. “We always wave to him.” “We need something red to wave,” Peter said. “Red is for danger.” “My skirt is red,” Phyllis said. “I’ll tear pieces off.” Phyllis tore strips (条) from the bottom of her skirt. “We need sticks to tie the strip to,” Peter said. The children ran to a nearby tree. With his knife, Peter cut off three thin branches (树枝). He tied each of the strips of red skirt to one of the branches. “Now we have red flags,” he said. “When we wave these, the engine driver will know something is wrong. He will stop the train and ask us what the matter is.” The children ran through the tunnel and waited at the other side for the train to come. When the train arrived, the children waved their flags. Roberta was so excited that she fainted (晕). The engine driver saw the red flags and stopped the train at once.

Like an encyclopedia (百科全书), it writes about the world in the eyes of people at that time. The 30,000-word book records about 40 states, 550 mountains, 300 rivers, more than 100 people in history and 400 interesting animals. Shan Hai Jing had a deep influence (影响) on the culture of mythology (神话学) in the world. It was taken to Japan during the Sui (581-618) and Tang (618-907) dynasties, or much earlier. In Japan, it was popular. People there once saw it as a guidebook for traveling in China. The book’s monsters (怪兽) were also popular. Shan Hai Jing has inspired many works. Liu Siliang is a teacher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He said the book inspired the writing of Journey to the West and Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio《聊斋志异》. Pop culture works also borrow ideas from the book. Some of the animals in the book even go into movies, such as Zouwu, the star monster in Shan Hai Jing. It has a tiger-body with stripes of five colors. Its tail is longer than its body. It can travel 1,600 kilometers in a day.

All living creatures are part of a culture. Even animals have a culture! So what is culture? It’s the way we behave in a group. It begins with each individual family. Within our families we do things to build relationships with each other. This can include routines for doing things. It also includes traditions. Traditions are activities that are repeated on a regular basis. Culture is not limited to individual family groups. The real strength of culture is in larger community groups. These larger groups are called societies. Every society makes rules for itself. It decides how people should act in different situations. Some of these rules are written down. Some are just things that are automatically expected of all members of that society. Often, cultures can be identified by what the people believe. Cultures are also known by what they choose to include in their art. Sometimes a society forms around people who speak the same language. Cultures may also be known for their customs, including the foods they make and the things they do. Our cultures help us understand who we are and what we believe. There are very strong emotions connecting us to our own society. Two different cultures may disagree on something, especially if they both feel strongly about it. When that happens, war is a common result. People are learning better ways to communicate. The more we learn, the more we understand the differences in cultures. 1．Why does the author say “Even animals have a culture!”? A．To start an opinion. B．To give an example. C．To set up a mystery.

Wood-block printing, dyeing (染色) and making thread-binding (线装的) notebooks, students from different universities (大学) in Egypt (埃及) took part in a cultural exchange activity to experience China’s traditional crafts (手工艺). The activity called “China in Classic Books” (典籍里的中国) was held on September 14th between the young people of Egypt and China’s Shandong Province through video link. Adham Ehab, a student in the Chinese Department at Cairo University, made the thread-binding notebooks in the same way that they’re traditionally made in Shandong. “Such activities make us know more about the Chinese culture and love the Chinese language more,” the Egyptian student said. Jiao Xinyue, a Chinese teacher at Cairo University who also teaches at the Confucius Institute of Cairo University, said that the increasing Chinese economic power and the growing cooperation between China and Egypt provide more chances for students to learn Chinese. “The number of students in learning the Chinese language at Cairo University is on the rise every year,” she added. ECU vice-president Rasha El-Kholy said that, “the event aims at connecting the Egyptian and the Chinese culture through learning about some traditional Chinese ways of printing and handicrafts. Connecting ancient civilizations (文明) can push us forward towards a future of innovation (创新), research and development,” she said. Gianna Xu, the head of the Chinese Bridge Club in Cairo, said “ the cultural exchange between the youths of the two countries will deepen the friendship among future generations, hoping that such cultural activities will nourish (滋养) ‘the tree of friendship and cooperation between China and Egypt’”. 1．What does Paragraph 1 tell us? ① when was the activity  ② what was the activity about ③ what rules should be followed  ④ what was the influence (影响) of the activity ⑤ how was the activity held  ⑥ how many people took part in the activity A．①②⑤ B．②③⑥ C．①④⑤ D．③④⑥ 2．Which of the following best shows the structure of this text?

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.

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.

The Floating Gardens of Bangladesh (孟加拉国) In Bangladesh, a country that experiences frequent floods, farmers have found a clever way to grow food even when their land is underwater. They create floating gardens. For centuries, farmers in this South Asian nation have used water hyacinths (水葫芦) to build floating rafts(木筏). They collect the plants, let them dry slightly, and then layer them together to form a platform. On these floating beds, they grow vegetables like spinach, eggplant, and pumpkins. “When the floods come, our land disappears under water,” explained farmer Muhammad Islam, “but our gardens float. We don’t lose our crops.” The floating gardens do more than just provide food. They also create jobs for women in rural (乡村的) communities. Women help build the rafts and harvest the vegetables, earning money for their families. Climate change has made flooding more terrible in Bangladesh. Sea levels are rising, and storms are becoming stronger. For many farmers, floating gardens are no longer just a tradition, they are a necessity. Scientists from around the world have come to study these gardens. They believe the technique could help farmers in other flood-prone (易涝的) countries, such as Vietnam and Myanmar. “This is traditional knowledge that is becoming more valuable every year,” said Dr. Amina Rahman, a researcher from Dhaka University.“The farmers figured out how to live with nature instead of fighting against it.” Today, more than 100,000 families in Bangladesh use floating gardens. The government is helping to spread the technique to other regions. As one farmer put it, “The water used to be our enemy. Now we have learned to make it our friend.” 1．What problem do farmers in Bangladesh face? A．They don’t have enough land for farming. B．The soil is too dry for growing vegetables.

It sits at about 430 metres below sea level, making it the lowest point on earth’s land. What’s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake with a salt concentration (含盐度) of more than 30 per cent, which is about ten times saltier than typical seawater. This makes it one of the saltiest bodies of water on earth. The Dead Sea stays so salty due to its special natural conditions. Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount of fresh water flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the fresh water to evaporate (蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. So it is also known as the Salt Sea. If you were to swim in the Dead Sea, you wouldn’t see any sea life—no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to survive there. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea. However, don’t let the name or not having any sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys (救生圈). In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the shore (海岸), you’ll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or newspapers. 1．Where is the Dead Sea? A．In the middle of a desert. B．On top of a high mountain. C．In a rift valley in Asia. D．In a deep valley in America. 2．Why did the Dead Sea get its name “Dead Sea”? A．It has no living things. B．No water runs into it. C．It has very little rainfall. D．No people live around it. 3．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Swimming in the Dead Sea is tiring. B．The Dead Sea is a popular place for tourists. C．The salt in the Dead Sea is bad for people’s skin. D．The Dead Sea is dangerous for people who can’t swim. 4．What’s the purpose of this passage? A．To show how the Dead Sea formed. B．To explain how the Dead Sea got its name. C．To let people know more about the Dead Sea. D．To teach people how to float in the Dead Sea. 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.
