Isn’t it boring? Do you get to meet famous actors? Does it pay well? My answers are pretty standard (标准的) as well: Yes, Sometimes. Once in a while. Kind of. The life of an extra is both more interesting and more boring than you might imagine. Extras, who play the people in crowds, on streets, or in the background of indoor scenes, can come from all walks of life. Unlike many extras, I’m a trained actor. I do get real speaking roles, but work can be hard to come by if you’re not a popular star. I’m registered (注册) with an agency that only deals with extras, so I get calls all the time. The agency explains that I’ll be someone in a crowd, a member of a jury and a clerk and tells me where to go. Call time is usually bright and early, so I try to go to bed at a reasonable hour. Sometimes being an extra is a “hurry up and wait” job. In my first extra role, I was one of a group of office workers who came out of a building just as a car exploded (爆炸) in the street. We waited for hours for the scene to be shot, and then went in and out of the building about fifty times, trying to act terrified by an explosion which was not real. Then we had lunch, changed clothes, and spent the afternoons as customers in a department store. It may sound like I don’t enjoy the work, but I do. Being part of the background in a convincing (令人信服的) way is challenging, and being on a film or TV set is always fascinating. A lot of famous actors don’t even notice the extras, but the ones who do make the job a lot of fun for everyone. As for money, it’s nothing compared to what the big actors make, but it pretty much pays the bills. And, as a bonus, I’ve beaten my high scores on all my phone games, thanks to all the time I spend sitting around, waiting for something to happen. 1．Why does Emily give standard answers? A．Because she is proud of her job. B．Because she wants to hide her feelings. C．Because she thinks it’s unnecessary to explain. D．Because she wants to show off her experiences. 2．What does Emily think of her job? A．Busy. B．Enjoyable. C．Fashionable. D．Easy. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The famous actors look down upon the extras. B．Being an extra is always a “hurry up and wait” job. C．Emily tells the truth about being a film and TV extra. D．Those who want to be film or TV extras must be trained. 4．What does the underlined part “as a bonus” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Above expectation. B．As a result. C．In general. D．After all. 5．We can infer that Emily ________. A．often pays the bills for others B．sometimes has to get up very early C．has beaten all the phone game players D．was in the face of danger in her first extra role Do you know the job of a travel experience officer (旅行体验官)? It’s an interesting and cool job. Travel experience officers go to different places. They try many things, such as comfortable hotels and delicious food. They do many activities, like hiking in the mountains, sailing on the sea, or joining festivals. Then they share their real feelings with others. They use words, pictures, or videos. This helps people plan trips better, like where to stay and what to see. To do this job, you don’t need a good education, but love for travelling. You should know different travel styles, from cheap trips to expensive vacations. Good writing skills help you describe your experiences clearly. Basic photo or video skills let you show how beautiful places are. You must notice small things, like a hotel’s service or the best time to visit a tourist spot. Record every great moment during the trip to write in a lively way. Last but not least, this job also needs a healthy body. Why is this job great? Because every trip is a new experience. One day you might wake up by the sea, and the next day you might climb an ancient mountain. You’ll meet friends from other countries, learn about their cultures, and see amazing views. It’s a wonderful way to see the world and share happy stories and useful tips. However, the job is not always easy. It has its difficulties. Bad weather or transport (交通) problems may happen. You must deal with any problem. If you are curious about new things, love travelling and enjoy sharing, this job could be perfect for you. What a cool way to turn your love for travelling into a meaningful job! 1．How does the writer begin the text? A．By asking a question. B．By telling a story. C．By using a saying.

A．travel B．science C．sports D．health Once upon a time, in a small village in the middle of a forest, there lived a young girl named Lila. Lila was known throughout (遍及) the village for her very bad temper. She would often get angry at her friends and family, and 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, thinking Lila was just playful and that it didn’t hurt at all, but Lila didn’t see it that way. 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. That night, Lila couldn’t sleep. She kept thinking about what she had done to Maya. She knew she had to make things right, but she didn’t know how. 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 then gave Lila a small stone and asked her to carry it with her, saying that whenever she felt angry, she could hold it in her hand 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. I mean? A．Calm down. B．Take control of. C．Make fun of.

C．True friends always forgive each other. D．Friendship should go through tests. The Programme called PISA carried out a survey of students’ ability to work together in groups. They found that students who do well in tests by themselves may also be better at working with other people. This finding is true in many countries. Students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada, whose test scores are high, also do well in working together to solve problems. Learning to cooperate and compete is important. But this is not right for every country. Chinese students with high scores show just average (一般的) collaborative (协作的) skills. “One reason might be that Chinese parents and teachers pay too much attention to grades,” said Zhao Zhongxin. “Students have a lot of exam pressure and they think of school as a place for competition.” “However, collaborative skills are very important for preparing students for today’s society,” he added. “Luckily, more Chinese parents and teachers are realizing the importance of this and are thinking of ways to help students improve these skills.” Another interesting finding from the PISA survey was that girls are better than boys at working together. It said girls show more active attitudes (态度), which means they are more willing to listen to others’ opinions. PISA also found that the classroom environment influences how well students collaborate. In classes where there are a lot of activities that need communication, such as class discussions, students have a better attitude towards collaborating. 1．How many countries does the passage mention where top students do well in working together? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 2．What does the underlined word “cooperate” mean? A．Succeed. B．Study well. C．Work together. D．Practice. 3．Which of the following is NOT one of the survey’s findings? A．Girls are better at working with others than boys. B．Those who do well in tests may also be better at working with others. C．The classroom environment can influence students’ ability to work in groups. D．Skills of working together are more important than scores to students’ future. 4．What can teachers do to improve their students’ ability to work with others? A．Start more communicative activities in class. B．Help students to get used to exam pressure. C．Make girls work with girls instead of boys. D．Give students high scores on every test. 5．What is the best title for this passage? A．What is PISA? B．Work Well with Others C．A Survey Carried Out by PISA D．One of Chinese Students’ Problems Ants are small, but their teamwork has long amazed scientists. A recent study shows that red imported fire ants (红火蚁) use a special way to survive floods: they link their bodies together to form living rafts (木筏) that can float (漂浮) for weeks. This is not just a simple act of cooperation— it is a highly organized team strategy (策略) that shows the key rules of successful teamwork. The process starts when the ground gets wet. Worker ants quickly gather eggs, young ants, and the queen into the center of the group. Larger, stronger ants form the outer layer (外层) of the raft, while smaller ants stay inside. By locking their legs and jaws together, they create a structure that can hold up to 100 times the weight of a single ant. This way, even if the raft hits rocks or sticks in the water, it stays whole. What makes this teamwork work so well? First, there is no single “leader”. Every ant knows its role: some gather food, some build the raft, and some care for the young. No one ant orders others around; instead, they follow chemical signals (化学信号) from their nestmates (同巢伙伴) . Second, they put the group’s safety above their own. The outer-layer ants are more likely to get wet or even die, but they keep the queen and the young safe. This “selfless cooperation” is the secret to their survival. Scientists believe we can learn a lot from fire ants. In human teams, people often argue about who is in charge or who gets credit (功劳) . But fire ants show that when everyone knows their role and works for the common goal, even the smallest teams can achieve big things. As one researcher put it, “The ants don’t care about being a hero. They care about keeping the team alive.” 1．Why do fire ants form living rafts during floods? A．To protect their queen and young. B．To find new homes quickly. C．To catch floating food. D．To fight other insects. 2．Which of the following is True about the fire ant raft? A．The queen stays on the outer layer. B．Smaller ants form the strong outer layer. C．It can carry heavy loads in water. D．It breaks easily when hitting rocks. 3．What is the key reason for the ants’ successful teamwork? A．A strong leader that gives orders. B．Clear roles and selfless cooperation. C．Large size and strong bodies. D．No need for food or water during floods. 4．What can we learn from the fire ants’ teamwork? A．Leaders are not needed in any team. B．Everyone should work for the team’s goal. C．Small teams cannot achieve big things. D．Selfish people can still work well in teams. 5．The writer wrote this passage mainly to ________. A．introduce the life cycle of fire ants B．explain how fire ants survive floods C．show what makes successful teamwork D．compare human teams with animal teams 二、U4单元话题热点预测 Lily is a 14-year-old girl who loves animals.

Every week, a group of students from Cherry Creek High School come to help old people with anything technology-related (技术相关的) at an old people’s home. The volunteers are from a group called Generation Technology, and it was set up by students a few years ago. When the holidays come, the group helps the old keep connected (保持联系) with their loved ones. “A lot of people don’t live close to their family, and it’s a big problem that we should pay attention to. So setting up video communication and then bringing people closer during the holidays is meaningful,” said Sunker, the leader of the group. The students also give the old advice on preventing scams (预防诈骗). People often get strange calls that they can’t recognize (识别) and the students can give them some useful advice. It’s something that the old like Sandy Washington are thankful for. “I do have difficulty using modern technology,” Sandy Washington said. “And I think a lot of other old people here do too, you know, at our age.” Whether the students are helping with video communication or teaching the old to use new apps on their phones, they’re both about helping form strong intergenerational (代与代之间的) connections. For Sandy Washington, seeing the students every week is something she looks forward to. “We really welcome these kids,” she said. “I want to hear about their college interests and preferred schools. I feel they’re family, just like my own kids or grandkids. It’s very nice.” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．The group. B．The phone.

For more than 40 years, Goodall lived mostly in Tanzania in East Africa, studying chimpanzees (黑猩猩). As a young child, Jane Goodall was interested in animals. She grew up in the English countryside and was always climbing trees or riding horses. When Jane was 23, she got a chance to go to Africa.

It is a series of huge ocean waves caused mainly by underwater earthquakes. When the ocean floor suddenly moves during a quake, it pushes a large amount of water upward, creating waves that travel across the ocean at very high speeds, as fast as a jet plane. Unlike normal waves, a tsunami wave is very long and low in the deep ocean, so ships might not even notice it passing underneath. However, as it approaches (靠近) the coast and enters shallower water, the wave slows down but grows much taller, sometimes as high as a tall building. The word “tsunami” comes from Japanese, meaning “harbor wave”. Warning signs of a tsunami can include a strong or long-lasting earthquake near the coast, the ocean pulling back far from the shore (海岸) very quickly (like a very low tide (低潮), or a loud roar (轰鸣) from the ocean. If you see any of these signs, you must move to higher ground immediately. Do not wait for an official warning. Remember, the first wave may not be the largest, and tsunamis can last for hours. 1．What is the main cause of a tsunami? A．Strong winds over the ocean. B．Underwater earthquakes. C．Heavy rainfall on the sea. D．The high tide. 2．What happens to a tsunami wave as it gets close to the coast? A．It travels faster. B．It becomes longer and lower. C．It grows much taller. D．It disappears. 3．What does the underlined word “shallower” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Deeper. B．Not deep. C．Warmer. D．Colder. 4．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a warning sign of a tsunami? A．A strong earthquake near the coast. B．The ocean water pulling back quickly. C．A loud sound coming from the ocean. D．Dark clouds gathering in the sky. 5．What should you do if you see a possible tsunami warning sign? A．Go to the beach to watch. B．Wait for an official warning on TV. C．Move to higher ground at once. D．Get on a ship in the harbor. 四、U6单元话题热点预测 The largest ocean — the Pacific OceanWhere: It stretches from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean in the south, and between Asia and Australia in the west, and the Americas in the east. How large: It covers more than 165 million square kilometers, which is larger than the total land area of the whole world. What it is like: It has the deepest trench (海沟) on Earth — the Mariana Trench, which is about 11,000 meters deep. It is also home to thousands of kinds of sea animals and plants, many of which cannot be found in other oceans. The highest waterfall — the Angel FallsWhere: It is in the rainforest of Venezuela, South America. How high: It drops 979 meters from the top to the bottom, with a single drop of 807 meters. It is about 19 times as high as the Niagara Falls. What it is like: The waterfall is hidden in the thick forest. Visitors usually need to take a plane or a boat to get a close look at its beauty. The water at the bottom turns into mist quickly because of the huge falling height. The largest island — GreenlandWhere: It lies between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, to the northeast of Canada. How large: It has an area of about 2.16 million square kilometers. What it is like: Most of the island is covered with a thick ice sheet (冰盖), which is up to 3 kilometers thick in some places. Only a small part of the island’s coast is fit for people to live in. The ice sheet is getting thinner year by year because of global warming. The longest river system — the Amazon RiverWhere: It runs through South America, passing through nine countries including Brazil and Peru. How long: The main river is about 6,400 kilometers long, and the whole system has more than 1,000 tributaries (支流). What it is like: It carries more water than any other river in the world — more than the next seven largest rivers combined. Its basin (流域) is the world’s largest tropical rainforest, which is like “the lungs of the Earth” because it produces a large amount of oxygen. 1．What is special about sea animals and plants in the Pacific Ocean?

Modern disaster warning systems have revolutionized how societies prepare for cataclysms, leveraging cutting-edge technology to save lives. AI algorithms now analyze vast datasets from satellites and weather stations, predicting storms with up to 95% accuracy—far surpassing traditional methods. In Japan, a multi-layered warning system combines app notifications, blaring alarms, and TV broadcasts to deliver tsunami alerts within seconds of detection, giving residents precious minutes to reach higher ground. Drones have emerged as game-changers in disaster response. Equipped with thermal imaging and GPS, these unmanned vehicles can survey earthquake-ravaged areas in real time, identifying survivors trapped under rubbish and mapping damage for rescue teams. In remote regions of Indonesia, drones have even delivered emergency supplies when roads and bridges are rendered impassable, cutting response times from hours to minutes. Yet, challenges persist. Rural communities without reliable Internet or electricity often fall through the warning net, highlighting the need for inclusive solutions. Scientists are now developing solar-powered alarm systems and SMS-based alerts to reach the most vulnerable. “No one should be left unwarned because of their location,” emphasizes disaster researcher Dr. Mei Lin. The 2024 Typhoon Hana serves as a testament to these technologies’ efficacy. Thanks to early AI predictions and drone-led evacuations, casualties were reduced by 82% compared to similar storms a decade ago. As climate-driven disasters grow more frequent, the global push to democratize warning systems remains urgent—ensuring that technology becomes a lifeline for all, not just the privileged. 1．What technology enables high-precision predictions? A．Traditional weathervanes. B．AI and satellite data. C．Amateur radio networks. D．Manual observation. 2．How do Japanese tsunami warnings reach people? A．Through carrier pigeons. B．Via apps, alarms, and TV. C．By community loudspeakers only. D．Through emergency mail. 3．What is a key challenge for warning systems? A．Over-reliance on AI. B．Lack of interest in cities. C．Difficulty reaching remote areas. D．Excessive accuracy. 4．Why are warning systems crucial? A．To create job opportunities. B．To sell more technology. C．To reduce panic during disasters. D．To save lives and minimize casualties. 5．What is the future focus for scientists? A．To develop more expensive drones. B．To abandon AI in favor of drones. C．To ensure warnings reach all communities. D．To limit warnings to urban areas. Among all the natural wonders in the world, Lake Baikal in Russia always impresses me the most. It is not just a lake, but a gift from nature.

Isn’t it boring? Do you get to meet famous actors? Does it pay well? My answers are pretty standard (标准的) as well: Yes, Sometimes. Once in a while. Kind of. The life of an extra is both more interesting and more boring than you might imagine. Extras, who play the people in crowds, on streets, or in the background of indoor scenes, can come from all walks of life. Unlike many extras, I’m a trained actor. I do get real speaking roles, but work can be hard to come by if you’re not a popular star. I’m registered (注册) with an agency that only deals with extras, so I get calls all the time. The agency explains that I’ll be someone in a crowd, a member of a jury and a clerk and tells me where to go. Call time is usually bright and early, so I try to go to bed at a reasonable hour. Sometimes being an extra is a “hurry up and wait” job. In my first extra role, I was one of a group of office workers who came out of a building just as a car exploded (爆炸) in the street. We waited for hours for the scene to be shot, and then went in and out of the building about fifty times, trying to act terrified by an explosion which was not real. Then we had lunch, changed clothes, and spent the afternoons as customers in a department store. It may sound like I don’t enjoy the work, but I do. Being part of the background in a convincing (令人信服的) way is challenging, and being on a film or TV set is always fascinating. A lot of famous actors don’t even notice the extras, but the ones who do make the job a lot of fun for everyone. As for money, it’s nothing compared to what the big actors make, but it pretty much pays the bills. And, as a bonus, I’ve beaten my high scores on all my phone games, thanks to all the time I spend sitting around, waiting for something to happen. 1．Why does Emily give standard answers? A．Because she is proud of her job. B．Because she wants to hide her feelings. C．Because she thinks it’s unnecessary to explain. D．Because she wants to show off her experiences. 2．What does Emily think of her job? A．Busy. B．Enjoyable. C．Fashionable. D．Easy. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The famous actors look down upon the extras. B．Being an extra is always a “hurry up and wait” job. C．Emily tells the truth about being a film and TV extra. D．Those who want to be film or TV extras must be trained. 4．What does the underlined part “as a bonus” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Above expectation. B．As a result. C．In general. D．After all. 5．We can infer that Emily ________. A．often pays the bills for others B．sometimes has to get up very early C．has beaten all the phone game players D．was in the face of danger in her first extra role 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了艾米丽作为影视临时演员的工作经历，包括人们对她工作的常见问题、她的回答、工作情况、对工作的看法等。 1．第一段提到“My answers are pretty standard (标准的) as well: Yes, Sometimes. Once in a while. Kind of.”，结合前文人们总是问她相同的问题，可推测出她觉得这些问题没必要详细解释，所以给出标准答案。 2．第四段提到“It may sound like I don’t enjoy the work, but I do.”，说明艾米丽认为她的工作是令人愉快的。 3．文章中艾米丽讲述了自己作为临时演员工作的各种情况，包括工作的难易、有趣与否、收入等，是真实地讲述了做影视临时演员的情况。 4．第四段提到“As for money, it’s nothing compared to what the big actors make, but it pretty much pays the bills. And, as a bonus, I’ve beaten my high scores on all my phone games, thanks to all the time I spend sitting around, waiting for something to happen.”，前面说收入能付账单，后面说在等待时手机游戏得了高分，这是超出预期的好处。 5．第二段提到“Call time is usually bright and early, so I try to go to bed at a reasonable hour.”，说明她有时得早起。 Do you know the job of a travel experience officer (旅行体验官)?

Lila was known throughout (遍及) the village for her very bad temper. She would often get angry at her friends and family, and 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, thinking Lila was just playful and that it didn’t hurt at all, but Lila didn’t see it that way. 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. That night, Lila couldn’t sleep. She kept thinking about what she had done to Maya. She knew she had to make things right, but she didn’t know how. 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 then gave Lila a small stone and asked her to carry it with her, saying that whenever she felt angry, she could hold it in her hand 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. I mean? A．Calm down. B．Take control of. C．Make fun of. D．Bring out the best in. 2．Why did Maya laugh when Lila fell down? A．She wanted to embarrass Lila. B．She thought Lila did that just for fun. C．She was embarrassed and didn’t know what to do. D．She laughed every time unexpected things happened. 3．Lila went to the forest to ________.

C．True friends always forgive each other. D．Friendship should go through tests. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了脾气不好的女孩莉拉因生气伤害了朋友玛雅，之后在森林中通过猫头鹰的教导学会控制愤怒，最终与玛雅重归于好的故事，传达了要学会管理愤怒的道理。 1．第一段提到“Lila was known throughout (遍及) the village for her very bad temper. She would often get angry at her friends and family”，说明莉拉脾气不好，经常对朋友和家人生气，由此可推测“her anger would sometimes get the best of her”意思是她的愤怒有时会控制她，“take control of”表示“控制”，符合语境。 2．第二段指出“Maya laughed, thinking Lila was just playful and that it didn’t hurt at all”，表明玛雅笑是因为她觉得莉拉只是好玩，并没有受伤。 3．第三段提到“The next day, Lila went into the forest, hoping to find a way to control her anger and make up with Maya.”，说明莉拉去森林是希望找到控制愤怒并与玛雅和好的方法，即解决她的问题。 4．第四段猫头鹰说“Anger is powerful. 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.”，说明愤怒既能鼓励我们采取行动，也可能伤害他人和自己，即愤怒能产生好和坏的结果。 5．文章讲述了莉拉因愤怒伤害朋友，后学会控制愤怒并与朋友和好的故事，核心是围绕如何管理愤怒展开，所以故事主要教给我们的是愤怒是一种需要管理的情绪。 The Programme called PISA carried out a survey of students’ ability to work together in groups. They found that students who do well in tests by themselves may also be better at working with other people. This finding is true in many countries. Students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada, whose test scores are high, also do well in working together to solve problems. Learning to cooperate and compete is important. But this is not right for every country. Chinese students with high scores show just average (一般的) collaborative (协作的) skills. “One reason might be that Chinese parents and teachers pay too much attention to grades,” said Zhao Zhongxin. “Students have a lot of exam pressure and they think of school as a place for competition.” “However, collaborative skills are very important for preparing students for today’s society,” he added. “Luckily, more Chinese parents and teachers are realizing the importance of this and are thinking of ways to help students improve these skills.” Another interesting finding from the PISA survey was that girls are better than boys at working together. It said girls show more active attitudes (态度), which means they are more willing to listen to others’ opinions. PISA also found that the classroom environment influences how well students collaborate. In classes where there are a lot of activities that need communication, such as class discussions, students have a better attitude towards collaborating. 1．How many countries does the passage mention where top students do well in working together? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 2．What does the underlined word “cooperate” mean? A．Succeed. B．Study well. C．Work together. D．Practice. 3．Which of the following is NOT one of the survey’s findings? A．Girls are better at working with others than boys. B．Those who do well in tests may also be better at working with others. C．The classroom environment can influence students’ ability to work in groups. D．Skills of working together are more important than scores to students’ future. 4．What can teachers do to improve their students’ ability to work with others? A．Start more communicative activities in class. B．Help students to get used to exam pressure. C．Make girls work with girls instead of boys. D．Give students high scores on every test. 5．What is the best title for this passage? A．What is PISA? B．Work Well with Others C．A Survey Carried Out by PISA D．One of Chinese Students’ Problems 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了PISA关于学生团队协作能力的调查结果，分析了中国学生协作能力一般的原因，还指出女生更擅长合作、课堂环境影响协作表现。 1．第一段“Students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada, whose test scores are high, also do well in working together to solve problems.”指出文中提到了日本、韩国、芬兰和加拿大四个国家的优等生在合作中表现出色。 2．上文说一些国家的优等生在合作中表现出色，结合“Learning to cooperate and compete is important.”可知，指学会合作和竞争很重要。cooperate意为“合作”，与work together意思相近。 3．最后一段“girls are better than boys at working together”表明女孩比男孩更善于与他人合作；第一段“They found that students who do well in tests by themselves may also be better at working with other people.”指出那些在测试中表现出色的人也可能更善于与他人合作；最后一段“PISA also found that the classroom environment influences how well students collaborate.”提出课堂环境会影响学生的小组合作能力。文中未提及“对学生的未来来说，合作能力比分数更重要”。 4．最后一段“In classes where there are a lot of activities that need communication, such as class discussions, students have a better attitude towards collaborating.”提出需要交流的课堂活动，学生对合作有更好的态度，因此老师可以开展更多课堂交流活动提升学生协作能力。 5．本文围绕学生团队合作能力的调查、影响因素、性别差异展开，核心主题是“学生的合作能力”，B选项“Work well with others”最适合作为文章标题。 Ants are small, but their teamwork has long amazed scientists. A recent study shows that red imported fire ants (红火蚁) use a special way to survive floods: they link their bodies together to form living rafts (木筏) that can float (漂浮) for weeks. This is not just a simple act of cooperation— it is a highly organized team strategy (策略) that shows the key rules of successful teamwork. The process starts when the ground gets wet. Worker ants quickly gather eggs, young ants, and the queen into the center of the group. Larger, stronger ants form the outer layer (外层) of the raft, while smaller ants stay inside. By locking their legs and jaws together, they create a structure that can hold up to 100 times the weight of a single ant. This way, even if the raft hits rocks or sticks in the water, it stays whole. What makes this teamwork work so well? First, there is no single “leader”. Every ant knows its role: some gather food, some build the raft, and some care for the young. No one ant orders others around; instead, they follow chemical signals (化学信号) from their nestmates (同巢伙伴) . Second, they put the group’s safety above their own. The outer-layer ants are more likely to get wet or even die, but they keep the queen and the young safe. This “selfless cooperation” is the secret to their survival. Scientists believe we can learn a lot from fire ants. In human teams, people often argue about who is in charge or who gets credit (功劳) . But fire ants show that when everyone knows their role and works for the common goal, even the smallest teams can achieve big things. As one researcher put it, “The ants don’t care about being a hero. They care about keeping the team alive.” 1．Why do fire ants form living rafts during floods? A．To protect their queen and young. B．To find new homes quickly. C．To catch floating food. D．To fight other insects. 2．Which of the following is True about the fire ant raft? A．The queen stays on the outer layer. B．Smaller ants form the strong outer layer. C．It can carry heavy loads in water. D．It breaks easily when hitting rocks. 3．What is the key reason for the ants’ successful teamwork? A．A strong leader that gives orders. B．Clear roles and selfless cooperation. C．Large size and strong bodies. D．No need for food or water during floods. 4．What can we learn from the fire ants’ teamwork? A．Leaders are not needed in any team. B．Everyone should work for the team’s goal. C．Small teams cannot achieve big things. D．Selfish people can still work well in teams. 5．The writer wrote this passage mainly to ________. A．introduce the life cycle of fire ants B．explain how fire ants survive floods C．show what makes successful teamwork D．compare human teams with animal teams 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文介绍了红火蚁通过组成活木筏在洪水中生存的现象，揭示了其高效团队合作的秘诀，并指出其对人类团队合作具有重要启示。 1．第二段“Worker ants quickly gather eggs, young ants, and the queen into the center of the group.”指出他们将蚁后和幼蚁聚集到中心，以保护它们，对应选项A。 2．第二段“they create a structure that can hold up to 100 times the weight of a single ant. ”指出活木筏能承受单只蚂蚁100倍的重量，即可以承载重物。 3．第三段“Every ant knows its role”以及“they put the group’s safety above their own.”等内容表示他们有明确的角色定位和无私的合作精神，对应选项B。 4．第四段“when everyone knows their role and works for the common goal”强调团队成员应为共同目标努力。 5．根据全文内容以及第一段最后一句“ the key rules of successful teamwork.”可知，文章的核心目的是揭示团队合作成功的关键。 二、U4单元话题热点预测 Lily is a 14-year-old girl who loves animals.

The volunteers are from a group called Generation Technology, and it was set up by students a few years ago. When the holidays come, the group helps the old keep connected (保持联系) with their loved ones. “A lot of people don’t live close to their family, and it’s a big problem that we should pay attention to. So setting up video communication and then bringing people closer during the holidays is meaningful,” said Sunker, the leader of the group. The students also give the old advice on preventing scams (预防诈骗). People often get strange calls that they can’t recognize (识别) and the students can give them some useful advice. It’s something that the old like Sandy Washington are thankful for. “I do have difficulty using modern technology,” Sandy Washington said. “And I think a lot of other old people here do too, you know, at our age.” Whether the students are helping with video communication or teaching the old to use new apps on their phones, they’re both about helping form strong intergenerational (代与代之间的) connections. For Sandy Washington, seeing the students every week is something she looks forward to. “We really welcome these kids,” she said. “I want to hear about their college interests and preferred schools. I feel they’re family, just like my own kids or grandkids. It’s very nice.” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．The group. B．The phone.

Did you know there are many cool things about spring apart from just the warm weather? During spring, the bad weather can be all over the place. That’s because warm air from the south and cold air from the north are fighting, making the weather really __________. Lots of baby animals are born in spring. They come into the world when they can get more time to enjoy the sunshine and warmer weather. Deer (鹿), squirrels (松鼠), foxes, and even whales welcome their little ones during spring when food is easy to find. Spring can make you feel much happier. As the weather gets warmer, your brain makes more serotonin (血清素), something that makes you feel good. That’s why people feel more positive when spring rolls around. Do you know that spring doesn’t start at the same time everywhere? In the Northern Hemisphere (半球), spring begins in March, but for people in the Southern Hemisphere, such as Australians, it starts in September. So, while some people are enjoying spring, people in the other hemisphere are experiencing fall! 1．Which word best fits in the “________”? A．clear B．windy C．changeable D．beautiful 2．Why are many baby animals born in spring? A．Because they will have fewer enemies who can kill them. B．Because it is warm with more food. C．Because they can sleep more at night. D．Because they can spend more time with their parents. 3．Which word can take the place of the underlined word “positive”? A．Hopeful. B．Bored. C．Organized. D．Sleepy. 4．When it is fall in the Northern Hemisphere, which season are Australians experiencing? A．Spring. B．Summer. C．Fall. D．Winter. 5．Which of the following poem lines (诗句) is about spring? A．No birds fly over endless icy hills; without anything, all paths are silent and still. B．I stop my cart to watch maple (枫树) trees at night; frost-touched leaves are much redder than spring flowers. C．The lotus (荷花) leaves spread far and wide, reaching up to the sky; under the sun, the lotus flowers shine more brightly in the color of red. D．With wind it steals in night; mute, it moistens (使湿润) each thing. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了关于春天的几个有趣事实：天气多变、动物在春天产崽、春天让人心情变好，以及南北半球春季开始时间不同。 1．原文提到“warm air from the south and cold air from the north are fighting”，冷暖空气交锋会导致天气不稳定、频繁变化，因此应填changeable。 2．原文写道“They come into the world when they can get more time to enjoy the sunshine and warmer weather”以及“during spring when food is easy to find”，因此，春天出生是因为温暖和食物充足。 3．原文提到“As the weather gets warmer, your brain makes more serotonin, something that makes you feel good. That’s why people feel more positive.”，随着天气变暖，你的大脑会产生更多的血清素，这会让你感觉良好，这就是为什么人们感觉更积极，其中“positive”在此意为“积极、乐观、充满希望”。 4．原文指出“In the Northern Hemisphere, spring begins in March, but for people in the Southern Hemisphere, such as Australians, it starts in September. So, while some people are enjoying spring, people in the other hemisphere are experiencing fall!”，因此，北半球秋天时，南半球正是春天。 5．A项句意为“千山鸟飞绝，万径人踪灭。”出自柳宗元《江雪》，描写冬季大雪封山的寂静景象，与春天无关；B项句意为“停车坐爱枫林晚，霜叶红于二月花。”出自杜牧《山行》，描写秋季枫叶经霜变红的景色，虽提到“二月花”作对比，但主体是秋天，与春天无关；C项句意为“接天莲叶无穷碧，映日荷花别样红。”出自杨万里《晓出净慈寺送林子方》，描写夏季荷花盛开的壮丽景象，与春天无关；D项句意为“随风潜入夜，润物细无声。”出自杜甫《春夜喜雨》，描写春雨在春夜悄然滋润万物的情景，正是春天的典型特征。故选D。 Jane Goodall is a famous scientist. For more than 40 years, Goodall lived mostly in Tanzania in East Africa, studying chimpanzees (黑猩猩). As a young child, Jane Goodall was interested in animals. She grew up in the English countryside and was always climbing trees or riding horses. When Jane was 23, she got a chance to go to Africa. Even though she had never been to college, she got a job with a famous scientist named Louis Leakey. One day Louis Leakey said he needed a volunteer. He needed someone to go to a lake in Tanzania to study a kind of chimpanzee. Jane was excited. On July 16, 1960, she began her exploration (探索). At first, the chimpanzees ran away from Jane. But with time passing, they got used to her being around. Every day, Jane would follow the chimpanzees, taking notes on their behavior. She learned many new things about chimpanzees. She watched how a chimpanzee made a tool. She learned how some chimpanzees became good leaders. She watched how mother chimpanzees raised their children. She watched animals get angry and get upset. She wrote everything down so others would understand animals as she did.

Jane followed chimpanzees.（第六段），对应顺序为 d—a—c—b—e。 3．文中“raised their children”指母黑猩猩抚养幼崽，“raise”在此意为“养育、抚养”，与“bring up”同义。 4．根据最后一段“She wrote everything down so others would understand animals as she did.”，珍·古道尔将黑猩猩的行为记录下来，帮助他人了解它们。 5．根据最后一段“She learned that if you pay really close attention to animals, you will understand what they are ‘saying’.”，可推断人们通过细致观察可以理解动物的行为，与它们沟通。 A tsunami (海啸) is one of the most powerful and dangerous natural disasters. It is a series of huge ocean waves caused mainly by underwater earthquakes. When the ocean floor suddenly moves during a quake, it pushes a large amount of water upward, creating waves that travel across the ocean at very high speeds, as fast as a jet plane. Unlike normal waves, a tsunami wave is very long and low in the deep ocean, so ships might not even notice it passing underneath. However, as it approaches (靠近) the coast and enters shallower water, the wave slows down but grows much taller, sometimes as high as a tall building. The word “tsunami” comes from Japanese, meaning “harbor wave”. Warning signs of a tsunami can include a strong or long-lasting earthquake near the coast, the ocean pulling back far from the shore (海岸) very quickly (like a very low tide (低潮), or a loud roar (轰鸣) from the ocean. If you see any of these signs, you must move to higher ground immediately. Do not wait for an official warning. Remember, the first wave may not be the largest, and tsunamis can last for hours. 1．What is the main cause of a tsunami? A．Strong winds over the ocean. B．Underwater earthquakes. C．Heavy rainfall on the sea. D．The high tide. 2．What happens to a tsunami wave as it gets close to the coast? A．It travels faster. B．It becomes longer and lower. C．It grows much taller. D．It disappears. 3．What does the underlined word “shallower” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Deeper. B．Not deep. C．Warmer. D．Colder. 4．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a warning sign of a tsunami? A．A strong earthquake near the coast. B．The ocean water pulling back quickly. C．A loud sound coming from the ocean. D．Dark clouds gathering in the sky. 5．What should you do if you see a possible tsunami warning sign? A．Go to the beach to watch. B．Wait for an official warning on TV. C．Move to higher ground at once. D．Get on a ship in the harbor. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了海啸的成因、传播特征、靠近海岸时的变化以及预警信号，旨在普及相关知识并指导紧急应对。 1．第一段第二句“It is a series of huge ocean waves caused mainly by underwater earthquakes.”表明，海啸主要是由海底地震引起的。 2．第二段第二句“However, as it approaches the coast and enters shallower water, the wave slows down but grows much taller...”说明，海啸波靠近海岸时会变得更高。 3．根据第二段“...in the deep ocean...However, as it approaches the coast and enters shallower water”，与“deep ocean”相对，靠近海岸的水域是“浅水区”，因此“shallower”意为“更浅的”，即“not deep”。 4．第三段第一句“Warning signs of a tsunami can include a strong or long-lasting earthquake..., the ocean pulling back...or a loud roar from the ocean.”说明，海岸附近发生强烈或持续时间长的地震、海水迅速退去、海面传来巨大的声响三项均被提及为海啸的前兆。 5．第三段第二、三句“If you see any of these signs, you must move to higher ground immediately. Do not wait for an official warning.”直接点明，应立即转移到地势较高的地方。 四、U6单元话题热点预测 The largest ocean — the Pacific OceanWhere: It stretches from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean in the south, and between Asia and Australia in the west, and the Americas in the east.

AI algorithms now analyze vast datasets from satellites and weather stations, predicting storms with up to 95% accuracy—far surpassing traditional methods. In Japan, a multi-layered warning system combines app notifications, blaring alarms, and TV broadcasts to deliver tsunami alerts within seconds of detection, giving residents precious minutes to reach higher ground. Drones have emerged as game-changers in disaster response. Equipped with thermal imaging and GPS, these unmanned vehicles can survey earthquake-ravaged areas in real time, identifying survivors trapped under rubbish and mapping damage for rescue teams. In remote regions of Indonesia, drones have even delivered emergency supplies when roads and bridges are rendered impassable, cutting response times from hours to minutes. Yet, challenges persist. Rural communities without reliable Internet or electricity often fall through the warning net, highlighting the need for inclusive solutions. Scientists are now developing solar-powered alarm systems and SMS-based alerts to reach the most vulnerable. “No one should be left unwarned because of their location,” emphasizes disaster researcher Dr. Mei Lin. The 2024 Typhoon Hana serves as a testament to these technologies’ efficacy. Thanks to early AI predictions and drone-led evacuations, casualties were reduced by 82% compared to similar storms a decade ago. As climate-driven disasters grow more frequent, the global push to democratize warning systems remains urgent—ensuring that technology becomes a lifeline for all, not just the privileged. 1．What technology enables high-precision predictions? A．Traditional weathervanes. B．AI and satellite data. C．Amateur radio networks. D．Manual observation. 2．How do Japanese tsunami warnings reach people? A．Through carrier pigeons. B．Via apps, alarms, and TV. C．By community loudspeakers only. D．Through emergency mail. 3．What is a key challenge for warning systems? A．Over-reliance on AI. B．Lack of interest in cities. C．Difficulty reaching remote areas. D．Excessive accuracy. 4．Why are warning systems crucial? A．To create job opportunities. B．To sell more technology. C．To reduce panic during disasters. D．To save lives and minimize casualties. 5．What is the future focus for scientists? A．To develop more expensive drones. B．To abandon AI in favor of drones. C．To ensure warnings reach all communities. D．To limit warnings to urban areas. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了人们利用尖端技术打造现代灾害预警系统，帮助拯救生命，减少人员伤亡。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“AI algorithms now analyze vast datasets from satellites and weather stations, predicting storms with up to 95% accuracy—far surpassing traditional methods.”可知，人工智能和卫星数据实现了高精度的预测。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第一段“In Japan, a multi-layered warning system combines app notifications, blaring alarms, and TV broadcasts to deliver tsunami alerts within seconds of detection, giving residents precious minutes to reach higher ground.”可知，日本海啸警报是通过应用程序通知、响亮的警报和电视广播传给人们的，故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“Rural communities without reliable Internet or electricity often fall through the warning net...”可知，预警系统的关键挑战是难以到达偏远地区。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Thanks to early AI predictions and drone-led evacuations, casualties were reduced by 82% compared to similar storms a decade ago.”可知，预警系统至关重要是因为它可以拯救生命并减少伤亡，故选D。 5．推理判断题。根据第三段“Scientists are now developing solar-powered alarm systems and SMS-based alerts to reach the most vulnerable. ‘No one should be left unwarned because of their location,’ emphasizes disaster researcher Dr. Mei Lin.”可知，科学家未来会关注确保预警到达所有的社区。故选C。 Among all the natural wonders in the world, Lake Baikal in Russia always impresses me the most.
