Guitar If you’ve always wanted to learn a musical instrument, the guitar is a great place to start. You can often buy a used guitar to practise on until you are good at it and then buy a new one.

If you remember the following information, your life will be much safer. ★ Always notice the environment around you. You shouldn’t walk alone outside, especially at night. ★ Your bag should be carried towards the front of your body instead of putting it on your back. When a bus is full of people, it is easy enough for a thief to take away the things in the bag on your back. ★ If you are followed by someone whom you don’t know, cross the street and go the other way, letting the person understand that you know he or she is after you. Next, don’t go home at once. You are safer in the street than you are alone in your home or in a lift. ★ If you have to take a bus to a place far away, try to get to the stop a few minutes earlier before the bus leaves. This stops other people from studying you. On the bus, don’t sit alone. Sit behind the driver or with other people. Don’t sleep. 17．Which of the following is NOT safe when you are out?

It’s easy for us to catch a cold or get the flu because of viruses (病毒). Here is how viruses get into our bodies and make us ill. Virus               Healthy Cell            Cell with Virus Viruses usually get in through the nose and the mouth. Viruses get into healthy cells. Cells with viruses will make thousands of new viruses and they will get into more healthy cells. We begin to feel ill. We may spread some viruses like the flu virus through a cough. You may feel terrible, but actually, your body is trying to fight against the cold. Your temperature rises, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a running nose to stop the virus from getting to your cells. Different people have different cures for colds. In some countries, people might eat chicken soup to feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm drinks. Other people take the medicine (药物) to stop the fever. There is one interesting thing to note—some scientists say taking the medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn’t have a way to fight it or kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. 20．Viruses usually get into our bodies through ________.

Soon, there was a terrible smell in the air and I thought something was wrong. I went out and saw fire coming out of my neighbour’s kitchen. So I shouted, “Fire! Fire!” But no one heard or came out. I ran quickly to my house to call 119, and then I rang my neighbour’s doorbell, knocked at the door, but there was no answer. I guessed my neighbour was sleeping in his bedroom. I woke him up and we rushed out of the house together. We tried our best to pour water through the kitchen window, but the fire was too heavy. Luckily, the firemen came and put out the fire quickly.

A study shows that this can make a big difference to our health. Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry? The study points out that when we show our anger in this way, we probably can’t get on well with our friends or our family. The longer time we keep being angry, the worse result we’ll get. So how can we deal with our angry feelings in a right way? First, know what makes us angry. Anger is often because of feelings of being too afraid, disappointment and so on. Also, care more about those everyday things that will make us angry. For example, we may get angry in the long lines at the store. Take a step back and think that it isn’t personal. Everyone in the line has dinner to make, just like us. One way of dealing with anger is to talk about it. The study shows that if we name our feelings, we can slowly calm ourselves down and feel better. Take some deep breaths or find some helpful exercise to do. Exercise helps with feelings of anger. If we learn to deal with anger, we will be happier and healthier. 31．Which picture shows the relation between the time of being angry (x) and the bad result of that (y)? A． B． C． 32．Which can help deal with the feelings of anger according to the passage? a. exercising b. eating delicious food c. taking some deep breaths d. talking about the feelings A．a, b, c B．a, b, d C．a, c, d 33．Which word is close to the underlined word “disappointment”? A．sadness B．joy   C．shock 34．What’s the best title for the text? A．Why Are You Angry? B．What Makes You Angry C．How to Deal with Anger? 10 You may have been told before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often related to weakness. Fear is something to be avoided. But that’s not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us. Fear tells us about danger. Without fear, we wouldn’t know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff. In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear of crime keeps teenagers away from potentially (潜在地) dangerous people, places, and activities. Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride. Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids. Fear fills our brain with healthy chemicals (化学物质), especially endorphins (内啡肽) and dopamine (多巴胺), and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr. In addition, when you’re scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people bond with each other. “Watch people walking out of a haunted house (鬼屋), and you’ll see lots of smiles and high fives,” Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit. People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward” who gets scared easily, don’t worry. Some studies show that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations. Kerr said that things like giving a report in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance (忍耐力) to fear that makes us more confident. “You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you're better able to work through it during stressful situations,” said Kerr. So learn to love your fear. It may make us stronger. 35．Why is a scary roller coaster ride helpful to people according to the article? A．It improves people’s ability to survive in the modern world. B．It makes people less cowardly and more confident in life. C．It causes the brain to produce chemicals that make people happy and excited. D．It teaches people how to keep away from things that could be dangerous. 36．The underlined phrase “bond with” in Paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to ________. A．get closer to B．fight against C．pay attention to D．be more careful with 37．What is the right attitude toward fear according to the article? A．Avoid being involved in scary situations. B．Experience it as often as possible. C．Consider it as a sign of weakness. D．Enjoy healthy fear from time to time. 38．What’s the passage mainly about? A．People’s misunderstandings about fear. B．Different ways to deal with fear. C．The advantages that fear brings us. D．The importance of avoiding fear in daily life. 11 Anger isn’t a good feeling. Anger may make us feel uncomfortable, but it’s seen everywhere. Unluckily, many of us have been used to keeping our feelings hidden. Research suggests that this can have long-term bad influences on your health. Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry? The research points out that when we show our anger in this way, we probably can’t get on well with our friends and our family. The longer we stay angry, the worse the result will be. So how can we deal with our angry feelings in a right way? First, know what makes us angry. Anger is often caused by feelings such as fear, disappointment and so on. Also, care more about those everyday things that will make us angry. For example, we may get angry in the long lines at the store. Take a step back and think that it isn’t personal. Everyone in the line has dinner to make, just like us. One way to deal with anger is to talk about it. The study has shown that if we name our feelings, we can slowly calm ourselves down and feel better. Take some deep breaths or find some helpful exercise to do. Exercise helps with feelings of anger. If we learn to deal with anger, we will be happier and healthier. 39．How does the writer lead into the topic in Paragraph 2? A．By telling a story. B．By giving an example. C．By asking a question. D．By using an old saying. 40．According to the text, which of the following about anger is true? A．Few people will keep their feelings hidden. B．Sometimes anger is a good feeling.

C．When to deal with anger D．How to deal with anger 12 When I arrived at my class in the early morning, I suddenly felt sad. Our teacher would leave and move to another school today. Mr Smith was very easy to talk with and to have fun with. He was cool, relaxed and was always friendly. I couldn’t even imagine how things were going to be without him. “Thank you everyone for my time here. I will forever keep these memories and our friendships. “He took a deep breath and said, “Before I leave, please look under your seats. “ I felt bewildered so I slowly checked under my seat to find out what it was. Then I saw a yellow block of wood that read “Love” on it. I quickly got it and realized that it was a Jenga block (积木块). Tears ran down my face and fell on the Jenga block. I heard my classmates crying. Everyone in my class had a Jenga block with the word “Love”. We hadn’t found a way to show our sadness and our love to the kind man. “This is a reminder to always love others, “ Mr Smith said slowly. Maybe that day wasn’t the worst day, and it was just a moment of my life and I was too young to understand Mr Smith. What Mr Smith taught us is that whenever and wherever we are, we should love others. The Jenga block acts as a reminder, encouraging me to give a hand to those in need. As time goes on, loving others has been a habit. 43．According to Paragraph 1, Mr Smith is ________. A．easy-going and friendly B．strict and funny C．brave and cool 44．According to this passage, the Jenga block ________. A．is something used to make seats B．is a way to show people’s sadness C．means good memories and friendships 45．What does the underlined word “bewildered” probably mean in Paragraph 3?

They are home to thousands of kinds of marine life, from colorful fish to tiny shrimps. Unlike shallow-water corals, deep-sea corals grow in dark, cold waters, thousands of meters below the sea surface. Scientists have been exploring deep-sea coral reefs for many years. They use special submarines (潜水器) to reach these deep areas. These explorations help us learn more about the ocean and the life in it. For example, scientists found that deep-sea corals can live for hundreds of years, and some even grow very slowly, only a few millimeters a year. Deep-sea coral reefs are very important to the ocean ecosystem. They provide homes and food for many marine animals. They also help maintain deep-sea biodiversity. However, deep-sea coral reefs are in great danger now. Human activities like deep-sea fishing, oil drilling and plastic pollution are damaging these reefs. Many corals are dying, and the marine life that depends on them is also losing its home. To protect deep-sea coral reefs, governments and scientists are working together. They set up marine protected areas, limit deep-sea fishing, and clean up ocean plastic. They also teach people about the importance of these natural wonders. We all should do our part to save these amazing underwater forests. 54．What are deep-sea coral reefs? A．A kind of shallow-water plant. B．A home to thousands of kinds of marine life.

They burn large areas of forests, destroy houses and farmland, and put people’s lives in serious danger. When a big wildfire breaks out, many brave people always stand up to fight against it without hesitation. In August 2022, a huge wildfire broke out in the mountain area of Chongqing. The fire spread fast because of the strong wind and dry weather. Thousands of professional firefighters, forest rangers and volunteers from all over the country joined in the fight at once. Young delivery riders played an important role. They drove their motorcycles on dangerous mountain roads day and night, carrying water, food, medicine and other supplies to the front line. Workers and local villagers cut down trees in time to make firebreaks, which stopped the fire from spreading further. Doctors and nurses set up simple medical points at the foot of the mountain to help tired and hurt firefighters. Firefighters worked for days without enough sleep or rest. They fought against the big fire bravely in high temperature and thick smoke. With the hard work and teamwork of all people, the big wildfire was finally put out successfully after several days of hard fighting. Natural disasters are really scary, but love and teamwork can beat any difficulty.

There I experienced a hurricane (飓风). I went to Jamaica in December, because between October and mid-December the weather isn’t too hot. However, there are hurricanes during that time. Luckily, my aunt and uncle heard the warning on the radio before I arrived, so there was already lots of food and drink in their house. I was happy about that, because one of my favorite things about being in Jamaica is the food! As the hurricane came, we closed the doors, and then we waited. It was a little boring at first. But when the wind crashed (猛撞) around the house day and night, I began to feel afraid. As we waited, we listened to the news on the radio.

Some common natural disasters include earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires. Earthquakes happen when two pieces of the Earth’s crust suddenly move past each other. They can cause buildings to fall, roads to break, and people to get hurt. It’s important to know what to do during an earthquake: stay away from windows and heavy furniture, get under a strong table or desk, and cover your head. Floods usually happen when there is too much rain or when rivers overflow. They can cover houses and roads with water, making it hard for people to move around. If a flood is coming, you should move to higher ground as quickly as possible. Hurricanes are strong storms with heavy rain and strong winds. They can cause a lot of damage to houses and trees. Before a hurricane arrives, people should prepare emergency kits with food, water, and first-aid supplies. Wildfires are large fires that burn in forests or grasslands. They can spread quickly because of strong winds. If you are near a wildfire, you should leave the area immediately and follow the instructions of firefighters. 72．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How to stay safe during natural disasters.

There was much greeting etiquette in ancient China. And the fist-and-palm salute (拱手礼) was quite a classic example. Today, although Chinese people usually shake hands when meeting friends and relatives, people still make fist-and-palm salutes when they are paying a visit to someone during the Spring Festival or attending someone’s wedding or birthday party. The fist-and-palm salute has a history of more than 3,000 years. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, people had already performed it when meeting peers (同辈). In ancient times, if people met a stranger, they would prepare for a fight if necessary, and their hands were always ready for holding any weapon (武器). Holding hands together pointed towards themselves was a gesture of saying “relax”, meaning “I’m not with any weapon and I’m not here to pick a fight”. Later, it became the etiquette when people met each other or showed thanks. So, how should people do the fist-and-palm salute properly? First, stand at attention. If you’re a man, make a fist (拳) with your right hand, then hold the right hand with your left hand in front of your chest, look at the person, raise both hands to the eyebrows (眉毛), bend down and shake hands gently three times. At the same time, you can also say some lucky greeting words. If you’re a woman, you should do it the other way which should be the right hand on the top. People may be more familiar with the hold-fist salute, called bao quan li in Chinese. It is widely used among the kung fu masters and students. This gesture is formed by holding the right fist first very tightly closed and covering it with the left hand open, and extending both arms a little forward in front of the chest. Make sure the left thumb (拇指) is close to the index finger (食指) and don’t point it at yourself, as it shows impoliteness. 82．What does the underlined word “etiquette” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Need. B．Manners. C．Dances. D．Groups. 83．Which picture shows the CORRECT way for women to do the fist-and-palm salute? A． B． C． D． 84．If Mike wants to do the hold-fist salute, he should ______. A．keep his right hand open B．put his right hand on his left hand C．not point his left thumb at himself D．not hold out his arms 85．What can we learn from the passage? A．There are no standards for these two salutes. B．The fist-and-palm salute is more common in kung fu. C．Now, people celebrate one’s birthday with the hold-fist salute. D．These two salutes seem similar, but they are quite different. 22 Emojis (表情符号) are a fun way to express ourselves while sending messages. But did you know that the same emoji can mean very different things in different cultures? This can cause misunderstandings or even trouble if you’re not careful enough. Let’s take a closer look at some emojis and their surprising cultural meanings. Let’s start with the thumbs-up (竖大拇指) emoji. In many Western countries, people use it widely to show agreement or to praise a job well done. However, in some parts of the Middle East, West Africa and South America, people see it as rude, similar to giving someone the middle finger (手指). The OK hand sign also has many kinds of cultural meanings. In the US and Europe, it simply means “everything is fine” or “perfect”. However, people in Brazil and Türkiye think it is an impolite gesture (手势). Even more interestingly, in France, it stands for “zero” or “nothing”. Clearly, this emoji’s meaning truly changes a lot across different cultures! The folded hands emoji also carries different meanings. In Western cultures, many people take it as a high-five—a gesture of celebration. But in most Asian cultures, it is a way to express thanks or greet others. The crossed fingers emoji can also get you into trouble. In the UK, the US and Canada, crossing fingers is a common way to wish someone good luck. However, in Vietnam, you’d better think twice before using the gesture, as it has an unexpected negative meaning there. Understanding these cultural differences can help avoid misunderstandings when communicating across cultures. 86．In which part of the world do people think the thumbs-up is rude? A．Asia. B．The Middle East. C．North America. D．Australia. 87．Which of the following has the most meanings according to the article? A． B． C． D． 88．What can we learn about the folded hands emoji? A．Western people use it to show anger. B．Many Asian people use it to say hi. C．It has the same meaning in all cultures. D．It is impolite in most European countries. 89．What should people avoid doing when meeting someone from Vietnam? A．Using folded hands to say thanks. B．Giving the thumbs-up to praise them. C．Crossing fingers for good luck. D．Making the OK sign for perfection. 90．What is the main purpose of this article? A．To encourage people to use emojis widely. B．To suggest some new ways to use emojis. C．To introduce the development of emojis. D．To explain emojis’ different cultural meanings. 23 A scholarship programme run by the UK charity “Engage with China” is offering British young people a unique opportunity for a two-year study experience in China. So far, 34 students have joined the programme. According to the charity’s director, H-J Colston-Inge, the initiative helps young British people learn more about China firsthand. She believes it is crucial to understand different cultures. Students like Zoe Capps share this view, adding that living in China helped them grow, become more mature, learn more about the world, and make great friends. One such student is Calista Ajibola, an 18-year-old who just finished the programme. She described her time in China as a challenging but meaningful experience, saying she felt like she left a part of herself there. Even though Calista had learnt Mandarin for five years and achieved the top grade in her GCSE exam, she initially (初) found communication difficult. People often asked her to speak English instead, which disappointed her at the time. However, she didn’t give up. Through courage, consistent practice, and help from her teacher, her Chinese improved significantly. Later, she could talk freely with taxi drivers, help her family with travel, and even bargain in markets. When she returned home, she brought back not only improved language skills but also lasting friendships, unforgettable memories, and even some instant noodles and magnets as souvenirs. She said the programme was one of the best things in her life. Soon, more British teenagers will go to China to begin their own journeys. As the ancient Chinese saying goes, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” This programme is truly helping to build bridges between the two cultures. 91．What was Calista’s main challenge when she first arrived in China? A．She couldn’t pass her exams. B．She didn’t like Chinese food. C．She had no friends to help her. D．She found it difficult to communicate in Chinese. 92．What does the underlined word “bargain” in the third paragraph most likely mean? A．To avoid shopping. B．To sell things in a market. C．To buy something expensive. D．To discuss with the seller for a better price. 93．What can be inferred about Calista’s attitude after returning home? A．She regretted going to China. B．She valued the experience deeply. C．She wanted to forget everything about China. D．She only cared about improving her language skills. 94．What is the main purpose of the scholarship programme? A．To help Chinese students study in the UK. B．To teach British students how to bargain in markets. C．To sell Chinese products like instant noodles and magnets. D．To encourage British students to learn about Chinese culture. 95．Why does the author use the Chinese saying at the end of the text? A．To show that learning Chinese is difficult. B．To suggest that students should travel more. C．To explain why Calista stayed in China for two years. D．To stress the importance of starting small for big cultural exchanges. 24 Chopsticks have been used in Asia for over 3,000 years. The earliest chopsticks were discovered in Henan, China about 1200 BCE. Over the next 2,000 years, they spread throughout East and Southeast Asia. The three most well-known types are Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Chinese chopsticks are longer with wide, rounded points at the end, mostly made of plastic or bamboo. While Japanese chopsticks are shorter and more pointed. Korean ones are flat rather than round and made of metal rather than wood. It’s said that ancient Royalty (皇室) used silver chopsticks to see if their food was poisoned (有毒的). In Southeast Asia, Vietnamese chopsticks are similar to Chinese ones. Chopsticks are not just eating tools. A proper chopstick grip (握法) can greatly improve dining experience. First, place the top part of two sticks between your thumb and index finger. Hold the upper chopstick gently with your first three fingers while resting the lower one at your ring finger. Meanwhile, put your thumb at the side of your index-finger nail. The upper stick is moved up and down with the movements of the index finger and middle finger. This way, pieces of food can be easily grasped between the tips of the chopsticks. ________ The first rule is to grab and not stab (刺入) food with the tip of your chopsticks. Second, don’t set chopsticks vertically (垂直的) into the rice in your bowl. In some cultures, such positioning of chopsticks is considered as a symbol associated with death. Third, watch where you point your chopsticks. It’s rude to point them directly at others. Following the guidelines above, you not only show respect for the cultural traditions about chopsticks, but also enrich your overall dining experience. 96．We can learn about the ________ of chopsticks in Paragraph 2. ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ features discovery materials types sales A．①②③ B．③④⑤ C．①③④ D．①②⑤ 97．How many rules about using chopsticks rightly are there in Paragraph 4? A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five 98．Which of the following pictures describes the proper chopstick grip? A． B． C． D． 99．Which sentence can be put in the ________ in Paragraph 4? A．It’s not easy for you to get the use of chopsticks. B．Understanding chopstick manners is also necessary. C．Remember to choose suitable chopsticks for meals. D．Chopsticks play an important role at Chinese table. 100．What is the best title of the passage? A．The spread of Chinese culture B．Chopsticks, Treasure of Asian culture C．Chopsticks,ancient eating tools D．The table manners in Asia. 考向七、读一本好书 25 Monday mornings were a terrible thing for Tom.

So when her grandmother told her she could have a baby cat four weeks later, “How will I know when four weeks is?” Hana asked impatiently. “ ▲ , ” smiled her brother Randy. That sounded interesting. “How?” Hana asked. “What does the moon look like now?” said Randy. “It’s a full moon, ” Hana said. “Will it still be full tomorrow?” said Randy. Hana thought for a while. “Well, almost. But it will be a little bit smaller, I think. ” “That’s right, ” Randy said. “And it’ll keep getting smaller until we can’t see it at all! And then it’ll come back when it’s just a thin and tiny moon, and it’ll get fatter and fatter until it’s full again! By the next full moon, it’ll be time to get your baby cat. ” Hana decided to draw the moon every day. Her first picture was round, full and golden. Then the moon started getting thinner. “Say good night to the gibbous moon. That’s what the moon is called when it’s less than full but more than half, ” Dad said one night. Every day Hana drew more pictures. When the moon was covered with clouds, she drew clouds instead. Then a clear night came when there was no moon anywhere, so Hana drew a cat instead. Now every night the moon got bigger and bigger. “You know Luna is another name for the moon, ” her mum said. “Luna, Luna, Luna, ” Hana sang. It was a pretty name.

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. 112．Why did the writer talk about the strange animals in Paragraph 1? A．To answer some questions. B．To give some examples.

When we arrived at the orphanage, the children were very happy to see us. We were divided into different groups. My group was responsible for teaching the children English and playing games with them. At first, the children were a little shy, but soon they became active and started to talk with us. I taught them some simple English words and songs. We also played hide-and-seek and drawing games. The children were very creative and they drew many beautiful pictures for us. During the activity, we learned about the children’s stories. Some of them lost their parents, but they were still optimistic (乐观的) and happy. Before we left, we gave the children some books and toys as gifts. They thanked us with big smiles. I felt very touched and happy that day. I realized that volunteering is not only about helping others, but also about learning to cherish (珍惜) what we have. After the activity, I joined the school volunteer club. I plan to go to the orphanage every month. I hope to bring more happiness to the children and make more friends there. 121．Where did the school organize the volunteer activity last month?

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.

You can pick them up if you are looking for a change in your life. Here are some choices. Hiking When you go hiking, it’s important to get the right shoes so that you can avoid foot pain. If you are hiking and camping on the same trip, you’d better take a tent. Reading Reading is such an enjoyable hobby. It is probably the best hobby for increasing your vocabulary, improving your spelling and writing skills. Reading can be free if you go to your local library. Tennis If you just want to hit a ball with a friend, all you need is a racket and tennis balls. However, if you really want to make this a hobby, joining some training courses (课程) is a good idea. Guitar If you’ve always wanted to learn a musical instrument, the guitar is a great place to start. You can often buy a used guitar to practise on until you are good at it and then buy a new one. As you can see, there are some great, inexpensive (不贵的) hobbies for you to spend your spare time, learn new skills or make friends with others.

Many Polish people also like to do sports in their free time. They are usually crazy about football, and people consider it the Polish national sport.

Watching sports and playing sports are both good ways to relax. On the other hand, doctors say that doing sports is very good for health.

It’s easy for us to catch a cold or get the flu because of viruses (病毒). Here is how viruses get into our bodies and make us ill. Virus               Healthy Cell            Cell with Virus Viruses usually get in through the nose and the mouth. Viruses get into healthy cells. Cells with viruses will make thousands of new viruses and they will get into more healthy cells. We begin to feel ill. We may spread some viruses like the flu virus through a cough. You may feel terrible, but actually, your body is trying to fight against the cold. Your temperature rises, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a running nose to stop the virus from getting to your cells. Different people have different cures for colds. In some countries, people might eat chicken soup to feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm drinks. Other people take the medicine (药物) to stop the fever. There is one interesting thing to note—some scientists say taking the medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn’t have a way to fight it or kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. 20．Viruses usually get into our bodies through ________.

I was studying alone at home because I would have an English exam. Suddenly, I saw a bright light in my neighbour’s kitchen. I thought he was cooking, so I went on studying. Soon, there was a terrible smell in the air and I thought something was wrong. I went out and saw fire coming out of my neighbour’s kitchen. So I shouted, “Fire! Fire!” But no one heard or came out. I ran quickly to my house to call 119, and then I rang my neighbour’s doorbell, knocked at the door, but there was no answer. I guessed my neighbour was sleeping in his bedroom. I woke him up and we rushed out of the house together. We tried our best to pour water through the kitchen window, but the fire was too heavy. Luckily, the firemen came and put out the fire quickly. When my parents came back, they found I was dirty and tired. After my neighbour told them the whole story, they were happy and said I was a brave boy. 28．What was the writer doing when the fire happened? A．Going out for a walk. B．Studying alone at home.

Anger may make us feel uncomfortable, but it’s also normal. Unluckily, many of us like to keep our feelings hidden (隐藏的). A study shows that this can make a big difference to our health. Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry? The study points out that when we show our anger in this way, we probably can’t get on well with our friends or our family. The longer time we keep being angry, the worse result we’ll get. So how can we deal with our angry feelings in a right way? First, know what makes us angry. Anger is often because of feelings of being too afraid, disappointment and so on. Also, care more about those everyday things that will make us angry. For example, we may get angry in the long lines at the store. Take a step back and think that it isn’t personal. Everyone in the line has dinner to make, just like us. One way of dealing with anger is to talk about it. The study shows that if we name our feelings, we can slowly calm ourselves down and feel better. Take some deep breaths or find some helpful exercise to do. Exercise helps with feelings of anger. If we learn to deal with anger, we will be happier and healthier. 31．Which picture shows the relation between the time of being angry (x) and the bad result of that (y)? A． B． C． 32．Which can help deal with the feelings of anger according to the passage? a. exercising b. eating delicious food c. taking some deep breaths d. talking about the feelings A．a, b, c B．a, b, d C．a, c, d 33．Which word is close to the underlined word “disappointment”? A．sadness B．joy   C．shock 34．What’s the best title for the text? A．Why Are You Angry? B．What Makes You Angry C．How to Deal with Anger? 【答案】31．B 32．C 33．A 34．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了愤怒情绪对健康的影响，并给出了正确处理愤怒情绪的方法，告诉我们学会处理愤怒会让我们更快乐、更健康。 【详解】31．文章第2段“The longer time we keep being angry, the worse result we’ll get.”表明我们生气的时间越长，得到的结果就越糟。生气的时间x和不良结果y是成正比的关系，时间越长，结果越差，对应图B。 32．文章第5段“One way of dealing with anger is to talk about it...Take some deep breaths or find some helpful exercise to do.”表明帮助处理愤怒情绪的方法包括：锻炼、深呼吸和说出自己的感受，即a、c、d。 33．文章第3段“Anger is often because of feelings of being too afraid, disappointment and so on.”表明愤怒通常是因为过于害怕、失望等情绪，“disappointment”与“sadness（悲伤）”意思相近，都属于负面情绪。 34．文章第2段“So how can we deal with our angry feelings in a right way?”以及全文主要围绕如何正确处理愤怒情绪展开，因此选项“How to Deal with Anger?（如何处理愤怒？）”最适合作为文章标题。 10 You may have been told before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often related to weakness. Fear is something to be avoided. But that’s not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us. Fear tells us about danger. Without fear, we wouldn’t know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff. In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear of crime keeps teenagers away from potentially (潜在地) dangerous people, places, and activities. Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride. Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids. Fear fills our brain with healthy chemicals (化学物质), especially endorphins (内啡肽) and dopamine (多巴胺), and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr. In addition, when you’re scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people bond with each other. “Watch people walking out of a haunted house (鬼屋), and you’ll see lots of smiles and high fives,” Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit. People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward” who gets scared easily, don’t worry. Some studies show that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations. Kerr said that things like giving a report in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance (忍耐力) to fear that makes us more confident. “You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you're better able to work through it during stressful situations,” said Kerr. So learn to love your fear. It may make us stronger. 35．Why is a scary roller coaster ride helpful to people according to the article? A．It improves people’s ability to survive in the modern world. B．It makes people less cowardly and more confident in life. C．It causes the brain to produce chemicals that make people happy and excited. D．It teaches people how to keep away from things that could be dangerous. 36．The underlined phrase “bond with” in Paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to ________. A．get closer to B．fight against C．pay attention to D．be more careful with 37．What is the right attitude toward fear according to the article? A．Avoid being involved in scary situations. B．Experience it as often as possible. C．Consider it as a sign of weakness. D．Enjoy healthy fear from time to time. 38．What’s the passage mainly about? A．People’s misunderstandings about fear. B．Different ways to deal with fear. C．The advantages that fear brings us. D．The importance of avoiding fear in daily life. 【答案】35．C 36．A 37．D 38．C 【导语】这是一篇议论文，通过多个角度的论证，打破了人们对恐惧的刻板印象，传递了一个积极的态度：我们不必一味回避恐惧，学会和恐惧相处，反而能从中获益。 【详解】35．根据文章第5段提到“scary roller coaster ride”，紧接着第7段引用Margee Kerr的解释：“Fear fills our brain with healthy chemicals... create feelings of happiness and excite us”可知可怕的过山车能让大脑产生使人快乐和兴奋的化学物质，这是其对人有帮助的原因。 36．根据第8段划线词所在句及第9段内容，文中提到人们走出鬼屋时会有“smiles and high fives”，且这解释了学校组织活动来“build up team spirit”。团队精神意味着成员间关系紧密，因此bond with意为“与……建立联系/拉近关系”，与get closer to意思最接近。 37．文章开篇指出恐惧并非完全是弱点，随后列举了恐惧的多种好处，最后一段总结道“So learn to love your fear”。结合文中提到的“healthy fear”，可知作者建议我们偶尔享受健康的恐惧，而不是完全避免或将其视为弱点。 38．通读全文可知，文章从恐惧能预警危险、产生快乐化学物质、促进人际bonding以及增强自信心等方面，详细阐述了恐惧对人类的益处。因此，文章的主要内容是关于恐惧带来的优势“The advantages that fear brings us”。 11 Anger isn’t a good feeling. Anger may make us feel uncomfortable, but it’s seen everywhere. Unluckily, many of us have been used to keeping our feelings hidden. Research suggests that this can have long-term bad influences on your health. Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry? The research points out that when we show our anger in this way, we probably can’t get on well with our friends and our family. The longer we stay angry, the worse the result will be. So how can we deal with our angry feelings in a right way? First, know what makes us angry. Anger is often caused by feelings such as fear, disappointment and so on. Also, care more about those everyday things that will make us angry. For example, we may get angry in the long lines at the store. Take a step back and think that it isn’t personal. Everyone in the line has dinner to make, just like us. One way to deal with anger is to talk about it. The study has shown that if we name our feelings, we can slowly calm ourselves down and feel better. Take some deep breaths or find some helpful exercise to do. Exercise helps with feelings of anger. If we learn to deal with anger, we will be happier and healthier. 39．How does the writer lead into the topic in Paragraph 2? A．By telling a story. B．By giving an example. C．By asking a question.

C．When to deal with anger D．How to deal with anger 【答案】39．C 40．C 41．A 42．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍愤怒情绪的负面影响，并提出正确处理愤怒的方法。 【详解】39．第二段开头提到“Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry?”，这说明作者用一个问句引出关于“如何正确表达愤怒”的话题，而不是讲故事、举例子或引用谚语。 40．第一段明确提到“Unluckily, many of us have been used to keeping our feelings hidden. Research suggests that this can have long-term bad influences on your health.”，这说明隐藏愤怒对我们的健康有害。 41．第二段明确提到“The longer we stay angry, the worse the result will be.”，这说明X(愤怒持续时间)与Y(不良影响)是正相关关系，如A图所示。 42．全文围绕如何正确处理愤怒情绪展开，包括识别愤怒原因、理性看待触发事件、通过谈话和运动缓解愤怒等。因此，D项“如何应对愤怒”最适合作文章的标题。 12 When I arrived at my class in the early morning, I suddenly felt sad. Our teacher would leave and move to another school today. Mr Smith was very easy to talk with and to have fun with. He was cool, relaxed and was always friendly. I couldn’t even imagine how things were going to be without him. “Thank you everyone for my time here. I will forever keep these memories and our friendships. “He took a deep breath and said, “Before I leave, please look under your seats. “ I felt bewildered so I slowly checked under my seat to find out what it was. Then I saw a yellow block of wood that read “Love” on it. I quickly got it and realized that it was a Jenga block (积木块). Tears ran down my face and fell on the Jenga block. I heard my classmates crying. Everyone in my class had a Jenga block with the word “Love”. We hadn’t found a way to show our sadness and our love to the kind man. “This is a reminder to always love others, “ Mr Smith said slowly. Maybe that day wasn’t the worst day, and it was just a moment of my life and I was too young to understand Mr Smith. What Mr Smith taught us is that whenever and wherever we are, we should love others. The Jenga block acts as a reminder, encouraging me to give a hand to those in need. As time goes on, loving others has been a habit. 43．According to Paragraph 1, Mr Smith is ________. A．easy-going and friendly B．strict and funny C．brave and cool 44．According to this passage, the Jenga block ________. A．is something used to make seats B．is a way to show people’s sadness C．means good memories and friendships 45．What does the underlined word “bewildered” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A．悲伤的     B．困惑的 C．害怕的 46．What did Mr Smith teach them in his last class? A．Being friendly and having fun are important in our life. B．The Jenga block is a good gift for students. C．It’s important to love others and help others in need. 【答案】43．A 44．C 45．B 46．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者回忆史密斯老师离职前的最后一课：老师给每个学生留下写着“Love”的积木块，传递“爱他人、帮助他人”的理念，表达了师生间温暖的情谊，以及老师的教导对作者的深远影响。 【详解】43．根据原文第一段“Mr Smith was very easy to talk with and to have fun with. He was cool, relaxed and was always friendly.”可知，史密斯老师是随和友好的。 44．第二段老师说“I will forever keep these memories and our friendships”；第三段提到积木上写着“Love”，是老师传递爱与回忆的载体；第四段提到积木是“reminder”（提醒物），由这些可知积木块承载着师生的情谊与美好的回忆。 45．根据上下文推断可知，前文老师让大家“look under your seats”（看看座位底下），作者不知道老师的用意，所以动作是“slowly checked under my seat to find out what it was”（慢慢查看，想知道是什么），体现出了“疑惑、不理解”的状态。 46．原文第四段直接点明：“What Mr Smith taught us is that whenever and wherever we are, we should love others. The Jenga block acts as a reminder, encouraging me to give a hand to those in need.”，老师教大家要爱他人、帮助有需要的人。 考向四、自然奇观 13 Our planet is full of natural wonders. Here are four wonderful tours you might like. Grand Canyon Exploration  Victoria Falls Expedition The Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA, is an amazing natural wonder. It is 446 km long and 1.6 km deep.

Ella replied happily that her trip was great and that she had visited the Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River. Curiously, she asked Yaming if the Yellow River was the longest river in China. Yaming told her that it was not. He explained that the Yangtze River is the longest river in China, traveling the farthest with a length of about 6,300 kilometers. The Yellow River, which is 5,464 kilometers long, ranks second. Then Yaming asked Ella if she knew why it was called the Yellow River. Ella guessed it was because the river was yellow, and Yaming confirmed her answer, adding that some parts of the river carry brown and yellow earth. Ella thought it was interesting and said she liked learning about rivers. She mentioned that her favorite river is the Nile and asked Yaming if he knew it was the longest river in Africa. Yaming said yes, noting that the Nile is 6,671 kilometers long and has played a very important role in Egypt’s history. Ella agreed, pointing out that both the Nile and the Yellow River had helped ancient civilizations develop and that they were still very important today. Yaming added that in China, people even call the Yellow River their “mother river”. Finally, both of them agreed that they should do their best to protect these important rivers. 50．What did Ella do during her trip? A．She visited the Yangtze River. B．She saw the Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River. C．She traveled to Egypt to see the Nile. D．She learned about China’s ancient civilizations. 51．Which of the following is the longest river in China? A．The Yellow River. B．The Nile. C．The Yangtze River. D．We don’t know from the passage. 52．Why is the Yellow River called “the mother river” in China? A．Because it is the longest river in China. B．Because it carries brown and yellow earth. C．Because it helped ancient Chinese civilization develop and is still important today. D．Because it is Ella’s favorite river. 53．What can we infer from the passage? A．Ella has never heard of the Yellow River before her trip. B．Ella knows a lot about rivers. C．The Nile is not important to Egypt now. D．The Yellow River carries yellow earth. 【答案】50．B 51．C 52．C 53．D 【导语】本文通过Ella和Yaming关于河流的对话，介绍了黄河、长江和尼罗河的基本信息，强调了河流对文明发展的重要性，并呼吁保护河流。 【详解】50．第一段中“she had visited the Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River”指出，Ella 在旅行中参观了黄河壶口瀑布。 51．第二段中“the Yangtze River is the longest river in China”可知，长江是中国最长的河流。故选The Yangtze River.。 52．最后一段中“both the Nile and the Yellow River had helped ancient civilizations develop ...in China, people even call the Yellow River their ‘mother river’.”可知，黄河被称为“母亲河”是因为它帮助了古代文明发展且至今仍然重要。 53．第二段中“adding that some parts of the river carry brown and yellow earth”可知，黄河携带黄土，选项D符合文意。选项A与Ella参观过黄河的事实不符；选项B与Ella不断询问Yaming关于河流知识的情节不符；选项C与文中“still very important today”相悖。 15 Deep-sea coral reefs are one of the most amazing natural wonders on Earth. They are home to thousands of kinds of marine life, from colorful fish to tiny shrimps. Unlike shallow-water corals, deep-sea corals grow in dark, cold waters, thousands of meters below the sea surface. Scientists have been exploring deep-sea coral reefs for many years. They use special submarines (潜水器) to reach these deep areas. These explorations help us learn more about the ocean and the life in it. For example, scientists found that deep-sea corals can live for hundreds of years, and some even grow very slowly, only a few millimeters a year. Deep-sea coral reefs are very important to the ocean ecosystem. They provide homes and food for many marine animals. They also help maintain deep-sea biodiversity. However, deep-sea coral reefs are in great danger now. Human activities like deep-sea fishing, oil drilling and plastic pollution are damaging these reefs. Many corals are dying, and the marine life that depends on them is also losing its home. To protect deep-sea coral reefs, governments and scientists are working together. They set up marine protected areas, limit deep-sea fishing, and clean up ocean plastic. They also teach people about the importance of these natural wonders. We all should do our part to save these amazing underwater forests. 54．What are deep-sea coral reefs? A．A kind of shallow-water plant. B．A home to thousands of kinds of marine life.

They burn large areas of forests, destroy houses and farmland, and put people’s lives in serious danger. When a big wildfire breaks out, many brave people always stand up to fight against it without hesitation. In August 2022, a huge wildfire broke out in the mountain area of Chongqing. The fire spread fast because of the strong wind and dry weather. Thousands of professional firefighters, forest rangers and volunteers from all over the country joined in the fight at once. Young delivery riders played an important role. They drove their motorcycles on dangerous mountain roads day and night, carrying water, food, medicine and other supplies to the front line. Workers and local villagers cut down trees in time to make firebreaks, which stopped the fire from spreading further. Doctors and nurses set up simple medical points at the foot of the mountain to help tired and hurt firefighters. Firefighters worked for days without enough sleep or rest. They fought against the big fire bravely in high temperature and thick smoke. With the hard work and teamwork of all people, the big wildfire was finally put out successfully after several days of hard fighting.

There I experienced a hurricane (飓风). I went to Jamaica in December, because between October and mid-December the weather isn’t too hot. However, there are hurricanes during that time. Luckily, my aunt and uncle heard the warning on the radio before I arrived, so there was already lots of food and drink in their house. I was happy about that, because one of my favorite things about being in Jamaica is the food! As the hurricane came, we closed the doors, and then we waited. It was a little boring at first. But when the wind crashed (猛撞) around the house day and night, I began to feel afraid. As we waited, we listened to the news on the radio.

Some common natural disasters include earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires. Earthquakes happen when two pieces of the Earth’s crust suddenly move past each other. They can cause buildings to fall, roads to break, and people to get hurt. It’s important to know what to do during an earthquake: stay away from windows and heavy furniture, get under a strong table or desk, and cover your head. Floods usually happen when there is too much rain or when rivers overflow. They can cover houses and roads with water, making it hard for people to move around. If a flood is coming, you should move to higher ground as quickly as possible. Hurricanes are strong storms with heavy rain and strong winds. They can cause a lot of damage to houses and trees. Before a hurricane arrives, people should prepare emergency kits with food, water, and first-aid supplies. Wildfires are large fires that burn in forests or grasslands. They can spread quickly because of strong winds. If you are near a wildfire, you should leave the area immediately and follow the instructions of firefighters. 72．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How to stay safe during natural disasters.

There was much greeting etiquette in ancient China. And the fist-and-palm salute (拱手礼) was quite a classic example. Today, although Chinese people usually shake hands when meeting friends and relatives, people still make fist-and-palm salutes when they are paying a visit to someone during the Spring Festival or attending someone’s wedding or birthday party. The fist-and-palm salute has a history of more than 3,000 years. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, people had already performed it when meeting peers (同辈). In ancient times, if people met a stranger, they would prepare for a fight if necessary, and their hands were always ready for holding any weapon (武器). Holding hands together pointed towards themselves was a gesture of saying “relax”, meaning “I’m not with any weapon and I’m not here to pick a fight”. Later, it became the etiquette when people met each other or showed thanks. So, how should people do the fist-and-palm salute properly? First, stand at attention. If you’re a man, make a fist (拳) with your right hand, then hold the right hand with your left hand in front of your chest, look at the person, raise both hands to the eyebrows (眉毛), bend down and shake hands gently three times. At the same time, you can also say some lucky greeting words. If you’re a woman, you should do it the other way which should be the right hand on the top. People may be more familiar with the hold-fist salute, called bao quan li in Chinese. It is widely used among the kung fu masters and students. This gesture is formed by holding the right fist first very tightly closed and covering it with the left hand open, and extending both arms a little forward in front of the chest. Make sure the left thumb (拇指) is close to the index finger (食指) and don’t point it at yourself, as it shows impoliteness. 82．What does the underlined word “etiquette” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Need. B．Manners. C．Dances. D．Groups. 83．Which picture shows the CORRECT way for women to do the fist-and-palm salute? A． B． C． D． 84．If Mike wants to do the hold-fist salute, he should ______. A．keep his right hand open B．put his right hand on his left hand C．not point his left thumb at himself D．not hold out his arms 85．What can we learn from the passage? A．There are no standards for these two salutes. B．The fist-and-palm salute is more common in kung fu. C．Now, people celebrate one’s birthday with the hold-fist salute. D．These two salutes seem similar, but they are quite different. 【答案】82．B 83．A 84．C 85．D 【导语】本文介绍了中国传统礼仪中拱手礼与抱拳礼的起源、文化内涵及正确行礼方式，展现了中国“礼仪之邦”的文化特色。 【详解】82．第一段开头提到“For centuries, China has been known as “a state of ceremony”，中国被称为“礼仪之邦”，后文介绍的拱手礼就是一种典型的“礼仪”。 83．第三段明确提到“ If you’re a woman, you should do it the other way which should be the right hand on the top.”，说明女性行拱手礼时，右手在上（左手握拳，右手在上）。 84．第四段说明抱拳礼的要求：“Make sure the left thumb is close to the index finger and don’t point it at yourself, as it shows impoliteness.”（左手拇指要靠近食指，不能指向自己，否则不礼貌）。 85．文中分别介绍了“拱手礼（fist-and-palm salute）”和“抱拳礼（hold-fist salute）” 的不同适用场景、姿势规范，二者虽形式相似但细节与用途不同。 22 Emojis (表情符号) are a fun way to express ourselves while sending messages. But did you know that the same emoji can mean very different things in different cultures? This can cause misunderstandings or even trouble if you’re not careful enough. Let’s take a closer look at some emojis and their surprising cultural meanings. Let’s start with the thumbs-up (竖大拇指) emoji. In many Western countries, people use it widely to show agreement or to praise a job well done. However, in some parts of the Middle East, West Africa and South America, people see it as rude, similar to giving someone the middle finger (手指). The OK hand sign also has many kinds of cultural meanings. In the US and Europe, it simply means “everything is fine” or “perfect”. However, people in Brazil and Türkiye think it is an impolite gesture (手势). Even more interestingly, in France, it stands for “zero” or “nothing”. Clearly, this emoji’s meaning truly changes a lot across different cultures! The folded hands emoji also carries different meanings. In Western cultures, many people take it as a high-five—a gesture of celebration. But in most Asian cultures, it is a way to express thanks or greet others. The crossed fingers emoji can also get you into trouble. In the UK, the US and Canada, crossing fingers is a common way to wish someone good luck. However, in Vietnam, you’d better think twice before using the gesture, as it has an unexpected negative meaning there. Understanding these cultural differences can help avoid misunderstandings when communicating across cultures. 86．In which part of the world do people think the thumbs-up is rude? A．Asia. B．The Middle East. C．North America. D．Australia. 87．Which of the following has the most meanings according to the article? A． B． C． D． 88．What can we learn about the folded hands emoji? A．Western people use it to show anger. B．Many Asian people use it to say hi. C．It has the same meaning in all cultures. D．It is impolite in most European countries. 89．What should people avoid doing when meeting someone from Vietnam? A．Using folded hands to say thanks. B．Giving the thumbs-up to praise them. C．Crossing fingers for good luck. D．Making the OK sign for perfection. 90．What is the main purpose of this article? A．To encourage people to use emojis widely. B．To suggest some new ways to use emojis. C．To introduce the development of emojis. D．To explain emojis’ different cultural meanings. 【答案】86．B 87．D 88．B 89．C 90．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了不同表情符号在不同文化中含义不同。 【详解】86．根据第二段“However, in some parts of the Middle East, West Africa and South America, people see it as rude, similar to giving someone the middle finger (手指).”可知，在中东、西非和南美洲的一些地区，人们认为竖大拇指很粗鲁。 87．第二段列出了竖大拇指的两种含义（赞同/粗鲁）；第三段列出了OK手势的三种含义（没问题/不礼貌/零）；第四段列出了双手合十的两种含义（庆祝/感谢问候）；第五段列出了交叉手指的两种含义（祈求好运/负面含义），所以OK手势是其中含义最多的。 88．根据第四段“But in most Asian cultures, it is a way to express thanks or greet others.”可知，许多亚洲人用双手合十的表情符号来打招呼。 89．根据倒数第二段“However, in Vietnam, you’d better think twice before using the gesture, as it has an unexpected negative meaning there.”可知，在越南，交叉手指表情符号有负面含义，所以遇到越南人时，人们应该避免交叉手指以求好运。 90．阅读全文可知，本文解释了表情符号的不同文化含义，提醒人们在跨文化交流中注意这些差异，避免误解或冒犯。 23 A scholarship programme run by the UK charity “Engage with China” is offering British young people a unique opportunity for a two-year study experience in China. So far, 34 students have joined the programme. According to the charity’s director, H-J Colston-Inge, the initiative helps young British people learn more about China firsthand. She believes it is crucial to understand different cultures. Students like Zoe Capps share this view, adding that living in China helped them grow, become more mature, learn more about the world, and make great friends. One such student is Calista Ajibola, an 18-year-old who just finished the programme. She described her time in China as a challenging but meaningful experience, saying she felt like she left a part of herself there. Even though Calista had learnt Mandarin for five years and achieved the top grade in her GCSE exam, she initially (初) found communication difficult. People often asked her to speak English instead, which disappointed her at the time. However, she didn’t give up. Through courage, consistent practice, and help from her teacher, her Chinese improved significantly. Later, she could talk freely with taxi drivers, help her family with travel, and even bargain in markets. When she returned home, she brought back not only improved language skills but also lasting friendships, unforgettable memories, and even some instant noodles and magnets as souvenirs. She said the programme was one of the best things in her life. Soon, more British teenagers will go to China to begin their own journeys. As the ancient Chinese saying goes, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” This programme is truly helping to build bridges between the two cultures. 91．What was Calista’s main challenge when she first arrived in China? A．She couldn’t pass her exams. B．She didn’t like Chinese food. C．She had no friends to help her. D．She found it difficult to communicate in Chinese. 92．What does the underlined word “bargain” in the third paragraph most likely mean? A．To avoid shopping. B．To sell things in a market. C．To buy something expensive. D．To discuss with the seller for a better price. 93．What can be inferred about Calista’s attitude after returning home? A．She regretted going to China. B．She valued the experience deeply. C．She wanted to forget everything about China. D．She only cared about improving her language skills. 94．What is the main purpose of the scholarship programme? A．To help Chinese students study in the UK. B．To teach British students how to bargain in markets. C．To sell Chinese products like instant noodles and magnets. D．To encourage British students to learn about Chinese culture. 95．Why does the author use the Chinese saying at the end of the text? A．To show that learning Chinese is difficult. B．To suggest that students should travel more. C．To explain why Calista stayed in China for two years. D．To stress the importance of starting small for big cultural exchanges. 【答案】91．D 92．D 93．B 94．D 95．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了英国慈善机构“Engage with China”开展的奖学金项目为英国年轻人提供了在中国进行两年学习体验的独特机会，通过讲述参与该项目的学生Calista Ajibola在中国的经历，包括她面临的挑战、语言能力的提升以及收获的友谊和回忆等，展现了该项目对促进英中文化交流的积极意义。 【详解】91．第三段中“she initially found communication difficult”，直接说明她刚来中国时主要难题是中文沟通困难。 92．结合生活常识与语境，在市场里和卖家砍价、议价是固定场景，bargain意为“和卖家讨价还价以获得更好的价格”。 93．第四段中“She said the programme was one of the best things in her life.”，能看出她十分珍惜这段在中国的经历。 94．文中第一段“the initiative helps young British people learn more about China firsthand. She believes it is crucial to understand different cultures.”以及最后一段“This programme is truly helping to build bridges between the two cultures”，说明该项目旨在帮助英国年轻人亲身体验中国，了解不同文化很重要，且该项目有助于搭建两国文化桥梁，所以主要目的是鼓励英国学生了解中国文化。 95．文末最后一段“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”引用“千里之行，始于足下”，结合前文提到更多英国青少年将去中国开启旅程，以及该项目对文化交流的作用，可知作者用这句中国谚语是为了强调从小处着手对于大型文化交流的重要性。 24 Chopsticks have been used in Asia for over 3,000 years. The earliest chopsticks were discovered in Henan, China about 1200 BCE. Over the next 2,000 years, they spread throughout East and Southeast Asia. The three most well-known types are Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Chinese chopsticks are longer with wide, rounded points at the end, mostly made of plastic or bamboo. While Japanese chopsticks are shorter and more pointed. Korean ones are flat rather than round and made of metal rather than wood. It’s said that ancient Royalty (皇室) used silver chopsticks to see if their food was poisoned (有毒的). In Southeast Asia, Vietnamese chopsticks are similar to Chinese ones. Chopsticks are not just eating tools. A proper chopstick grip (握法) can greatly improve dining experience. First, place the top part of two sticks between your thumb and index finger. Hold the upper chopstick gently with your first three fingers while resting the lower one at your ring finger. Meanwhile, put your thumb at the side of your index-finger nail. The upper stick is moved up and down with the movements of the index finger and middle finger. This way, pieces of food can be easily grasped between the tips of the chopsticks. ________ The first rule is to grab and not stab (刺入) food with the tip of your chopsticks. Second, don’t set chopsticks vertically (垂直的) into the rice in your bowl. In some cultures, such positioning of chopsticks is considered as a symbol associated with death. Third, watch where you point your chopsticks. It’s rude to point them directly at others. Following the guidelines above, you not only show respect for the cultural traditions about chopsticks, but also enrich your overall dining experience. 96．We can learn about the ________ of chopsticks in Paragraph 2. ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ features discovery materials types sales A．①②③ B．③④⑤ C．①③④ D．①②⑤ 97．How many rules about using chopsticks rightly are there in Paragraph 4? A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five 98．Which of the following pictures describes the proper chopstick grip? A． B． C． D． 99．Which sentence can be put in the ________ in Paragraph 4? A．It’s not easy for you to get the use of chopsticks. B．Understanding chopstick manners is also necessary. C．Remember to choose suitable chopsticks for meals. D．Chopsticks play an important role at Chinese table. 100．What is the best title of the passage? A．The spread of Chinese culture B．Chopsticks, Treasure of Asian culture C．Chopsticks,ancient eating tools D．The table manners in Asia. 【答案】96．C 97．B 98．D 99．B 100．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍筷子的历史、类型、握法及礼仪，展现其作为亚洲文化瑰宝的多元价值。 96．第二段提到“three most well-known types（类型）”“Chinese chopsticks are longer with wide, rounded points（特征）”“made of plastic or bamboo（材料）”，对应features、materials、types，即①③④。 97．第四段明确列出三条规则：①用筷子夹食物而非刺；②不要将筷子垂直插在米饭里；③不要用筷子指向他人，共三条。 98．根据第三段握法描述：上筷用食指和中指控制上下移动，下筷靠无名指支撑，拇指和食指夹住筷子上端，图片D符合。 99．第四段主要讲筷子礼仪规则，空格处应引出“礼仪的重要性”，“Understanding chopstick manners is also necessary”最贴合。 100．本文涵盖筷子的历史、类型、握法、礼仪，体现其作为亚洲文化瑰宝的意义，“Chopsticks, Treasure of Asian culture”最全面。 考向七、读一本好书 25 Monday mornings were a terrible thing for Tom. They always meant one thing: a new week of school; and Tom hated school. This morning, he thought about how he might avoid going to class. Then an idea came to him. “Oh! Sid!” he cried, “Oh, it hurts! I think I’m dying, Sid!” Sid, who was already up and dressing for school, stopped what he was doing, and ran over to Tom’s bed. “What’s wrong, Tom? What is it?” “Don’t come closer, Sid! You might get sick too! And Sid, I want you to know that I don’t care about the bad things you’ve done to me all these years. So, when I die, you don’t have to feel bad. Oh! The pain! Ohhhh…” Sid quickly ran downstairs. “Aunt Polly! Aunt Polly! Tom’s dying! Quick! Help him! Do something!” Aunt Polly dropped everything and ran up to Tom’s room as fast as she could. “What is it, Tom? What’s wrong?” she asked with a shaking (颤抖的) voice. “Oh, Aunt Polly, it’s —”, he had to think for a moment, “It’s my toe (脚趾)! It hurts!” Aunt Polly fell into a chair next to the bed and started to laugh, then to cry, and then both at the same time. “Tom! You had me so worried!” she said. “Well, you’re not going to die from a sore toe! Get up and get ready for school!” “But what about my tooth? I think it’s loose (松动的)!” said Tom. “That won’t kill you either! But let me take a look. Open your mouth. Well, your tooth is loose. Mary! Bring me some string (线) and a piece of burning wood from the stove!” “Please, Aunt Polly! Don’t pull out my tooth! I’m feeling much better now. See? I can get up and go to school after all!” “Sit down, boy! You will go to school, but that tooth is going to be pulled first.” --- Adapted from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer 101．Tom said he was dying because ________.

This morning, he thought about how he might avoid going to class. Then an idea came to him.”说明Tom讨厌上学，他假装快死了是因为不想去上学。 102．第十段“Aunt Polly fell into a chair next to the bed and started to laugh, then to cry, and then both at the same time.”描述了Aunt Polly得知Tom并没有生命危险后的反应。她之前非常担心，得知只是脚趾疼后，既觉得情况可笑，又因之前的过度担忧而情绪释放。这代表她松了一口气并觉得情形有些滑稽。选项C准确表达了这种如释重负且觉得好笑的心理。 103．第二段“‘Oh! Sid!’ he cried, ‘Oh, it hurts! I think I’m dying, Sid!’”对应Tom假装疼痛；第五、六段“Sid quickly ran downstairs. ‘Aunt Polly! Aunt Polly! Tom’s dying! Quick! Help him! Do something!’”对应Sid跑下楼向Aunt Polly求助；第九至十一段“‘Oh, Aunt Polly, it’s—’…‘Well, you’re not going to die from a sore toe! Get up and get ready for school!’”对应Aunt Polly上楼发现Tom只是脚趾疼，识破了他并未快死的真相；最后一段“‘Sit down, boy! You will go to school, but that tooth is going to be pulled first.’”对应针对Tom提出的牙齿松动，Aunt Polly决定要拔掉它。正确顺序为c-a-b-d。 104．最后一段“‘Sit down, boy! You will go to school, but that tooth is going to be pulled first.’”可推断接下来发生的动作是Aunt Polly会拔掉Tom松动的牙齿。 26 Do you love to read? TFK Kid Reporters do too! Gabri Blankson shared her reviews of The World Belonged to Us, one of the summer’s most interesting books. We hope you’ve enjoyed reading! What is the book about? A young girl from Brooklyn enjoys summer fun with her friends. The book is based on the writer’s life. As a girl, Woodson spent long days outdoors. She jumped rope in the street.

How would you rate this book? Why? I would rate this book a 9 out of 10. That’s because it’s harder for kids who don’t live in Brooklyn to relate (关联) to the story.

So when her grandmother told her she could have a baby cat four weeks later, “How will I know when four weeks is?” Hana asked impatiently. “ ▲ , ” smiled her brother Randy. That sounded interesting. “How?” Hana asked. “What does the moon look like now?” said Randy. “It’s a full moon, ” Hana said. “Will it still be full tomorrow?” said Randy. Hana thought for a while. “Well, almost. But it will be a little bit smaller, I think. ” “That’s right, ” Randy said. “And it’ll keep getting smaller until we can’t see it at all! And then it’ll come back when it’s just a thin and tiny moon, and it’ll get fatter and fatter until it’s full again! By the next full moon, it’ll be time to get your baby cat. ” Hana decided to draw the moon every day. Her first picture was round, full and golden. Then the moon started getting thinner. “Say good night to the gibbous moon. That’s what the moon is called when it’s less than full but more than half, ” Dad said one night. Every day Hana drew more pictures. When the moon was covered with clouds, she drew clouds instead. Then a clear night came when there was no moon anywhere, so Hana drew a cat instead. Now every night the moon got bigger and bigger. “You know Luna is another name for the moon, ” her mum said. “Luna, Luna, Luna, ” Hana sang. It was a pretty name. Finally the night came when Hana covered her paper with a huge, round, golden moon, just like her first picture. The most exciting moment came—Hana chose a black baby cat. It was black like the night and its eyes shone like the moon. She named it Luna. 108．Which of the following is the best to fill in “ ▲ ”? A．Use the paper B．Use the moon C．Use the watch D．Use the calendar 109．Why did Randy tell Hana how the moon changed in a month? A．To help Hana know about the moon. B．To stop the baby cat’s coming. C．To tell her when four weeks was. D．To show that he was knowledgeable. 110．Which of the following pictures shows “the gibbous moon”according to the text? A． B． C． D． 111．In which order did Hana’s feelings change in the text? A．happy → impatient → interested → excited B．happy → excited → impatient → interested C．impatient → interested → happy → excited D．impatient → happy → excited → interested 【答案】108．B 109．C 110．D 111．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Hana通过观察月相变化，等待并迎接新出生猫咪的故事。 【详解】108．根据后文“‘What does the moon look like now?’ said Randy”和“Hana decided to draw the moon every day”可知，Randy让Hana通过观察月亮来判断时间，因此此处是让她“Use the moon”。 109．根据文中Randy的话“And it’ll keep getting smaller until we can’t see it at all! And then it’ll come back... By the next full moon, it’ll be time to get your baby cat.”可知，Randy讲述月相变化的目的是告诉Hana四周后猫咪到来的时间。 110．根据文中“‘Say good night to the gibbous moon. That’s what the moon is called when it’s less than full but more than half,’ Dad said one night.”可知，凸月（gibbous moon）指的是“大于半圆但非满月”的月相，对应选项D。 111．通读全文，Hana一开始因等待猫咪而impatient，在Randy的引导下对月相变化产生了interested，看到猫咪出生时感到happy，最后给猫咪取名时十分excited，因此情感变化为impatient→interested →happy →excited。 28 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. 112．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. 113．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2? A．The encyclopedia. B．The mythology. C．Shan Hai Jing. D．The monsters. 114．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．345 115．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. 116．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】112．C 113．C 114．B 115．D 116．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。 【详解】112．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。 113．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”。 114．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。 115．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。 116．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。 考向八、志愿服务 29 Helping others is a great thing to do.

I was excited to take part in it because I had never volunteered there before. When we arrived at the orphanage, the children were very happy to see us. We were divided into different groups. My group was responsible for teaching the children English and playing games with them. At first, the children were a little shy, but soon they became active and started to talk with us. I taught them some simple English words and songs. We also played hide-and-seek and drawing games. The children were very creative and they drew many beautiful pictures for us.

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. 129．What can we know from Paragraph 2? A．Many children enjoy volunteering at college.

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。 130．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。 131．第五段提到：“Doing volunteer work can help those in need.
