Some love reading books, while others enjoy playing sports. However, they all want to have a happy school life and make friends. Last month, Class 8A got a special task: to make a class magazine. This project showed everyone how important differences can be. Anna is good at writing. She wrote funny stories and interesting articles for the magazine. Tom loves taking photos. He walked around the school, took beautiful pictures of trees, flowers, and classmates playing games, and put them in the magazine. Sarah is a great artist. She drew colourful pictures to make the magazine look more beautiful. At first, some students thought their different ways of working might make trouble. But as they worked together, they found that these differences made the magazine special. When the magazine came out, all the students in the school liked it! Just like different pieces in a puzzle (拼图) make a complete (完整的) picture, differences among people make our world better. When we respect and welcome these differences, we can learn new things and work better as a team. No matter it’s in school projects or daily life, our differences help us grow and create wonderful things together. 1．According to the passage, what do the students in Class 8A have in common?

It helped kids get a taste of what college was like. We had classes in the morning and the evenings were filled with fun activities. We did have a break in the afternoons. One afternoon, my friend Claude and I found an old basketball. We went to an outdoor basketball court for a game of one-on-one. At that time, Claude was taller than me. He was also better at basketball. Gradually, I fell behind. I made up my mind and drove hard to the basket and missed it! The ball bounced off the rim (从篮筐弹回). Just as I jumped up to catch it, I saw an elbow above my face. When Claude caught the ball, his elbow hit my eye hard. I saw stars everywhere. The pain was terrible. Claude kept saying “sorry” over and over. I laughed through the pain. I spent the next few days walking around with a black eye, but it was worth it. For years afterward, I got a laugh whenever I told the story and joked about Claude’s elbow of death. We all get an elbow to the eye sometimes. Our plans fail. Things work against us. Our ups become downs. When this happens, it’s best to face it with laughter and forgiveness (原谅).

They were making a cool poster (海报) to help their neighborhood animal shelter (收容所). They wanted to help the cats and dogs find homes. Though they spent a lot of time and energy on it, they were not happy with their work. Amy said, “I think we should design a poster that is full of warmth and love, which will attract more people to take animals home or give away money.” Tom replied, “But I think the poster should be really easy to understand, so everyone knows why the shelter is important. If we just talk about warmth and love, people will not think it’s important to help.” They didn’t agree with each other and began to argue. Their friendship suffered (变差) as a result. But everything changed when they went to see the animals in the shelter. They saw the cute little dogs and cats that were waiting for a warm home. They knew they needed to tell everyone about these animals. Amy said to Tom, “I know your idea makes sense, but we can include the warmth and love of animal shelters. These animals need more people to care for and help them.” Tom replied, “You’re right. We need to make a poster that is not only warm and loving, but also direct and powerful to express our thoughts. Let’s make a poster that’s both warm and direct to the point.” They worked on the poster again, and the shelter loved it. The poster quickly went viral online, and lots of people shared the poster and visited the shelter, hoping to take a cute little animal home or giving things the shelter needs. After all this, Amy and Tom became even closer friends.

For the most part, I’m enjoying my new life as a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl, but sometimes it can get me down. It’s great that I can see my friends after school on weekdays. We go swimming every weekend too. That’s the good part. But one part of my life is getting worse — that’s my younger sister, Hanna. She is making me crazy.

My father prefers swimming and my mother often dances in her free time. These are usual hobbies. But my grandma has a special hobby that makes our home full of warmth and love. She really likes to knit (编织). When I was a newborn, she made all my clothes by hand. She also knitted socks for my father and gloves for my mother.

For many people in Hainan, July 18, 2014, is a date they can’t forget—the day Super Typhoon Rammasun (超强台风威马逊) hit. It was the strongest typhoon to hit China in over 40 years.   Chen Wei, now 35, remembers clearly: “When the typhoon came, I was home with my family. The wind was terrifying—rain sounded like rocks hitting our roof. Suddenly, the power went out. We heard trees breaking outside. My dad tried to close the windows, but the wind was too strong—it broke the glass. We spent the whole night in the dark.”   Shop owner Li Fang in Haikou recalls: “I was in my store when it hit. The wind blew the door open and rain poured in. I tried to shut it, but I couldn’t. After the storm, the streets were covered with broken branches, fallen signs, and even overturned cars. It took weeks to clean up.”   Hainan often gets typhoons, but Rammasun was different. With winds reaching 216 km/h, it destroyed homes, uprooted trees, and left millions without power. The typhoon caused huge damage and took lives. Why do people remember disasters so clearly? Because they bring strong feelings-fear, shock and sadness. For Hainan people, Rammasun wasn’t just a storm - it changed their lives. After that, schools in Hainan taught students how to stay safe in storms. Students could have some lessons like Why storms happen, What to do when a storm comes, and How to help others. Today, Hainan has better typhoon protection. But those who lived through it will never forget nature’s fury that day. 1．What was Chen Wei doing when the typhoon hit? A．working in his store by himself B．staying with his family C．trying to close the window 2．What happened to Li Fang’s store during the typhoon? A．The rain poured in and she couldn’t shut the door. B．Her store was completely destroyed and overturned like a car. C．The power went out and they spent the whole night in the dark. 3．What does the underlined word uprooted mean? A． B． C． 4．Typhoon Rammasun ______________. A．hit Hainan on July 18, 2013 B．had winds that reached 216 km/h C．is the strongest typhoon in the world 5．Which is incorrect (不正确的) after Rammasun hit Hainan. A．Schools started teaching storm safety lessons B．People feel more afraid when storms come now. C．Hainan improved its typhoon warning systems.

Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·山东省滨州市阳信县·期末） In Liaoning Province, a couple spent nearly half a century turning two poor mountains into a home for birds. Tian Wangui,70, and his wife Lu Min, are villagers in Qiantian Village. They wanted to plant fruit trees to make a living. In 1982, the couple started planting fruit trees on two poor mountains. At first, the couple planted some fruit trees on part of the land. In order to water the trees, they had to carry water up to the top of the mountains by themselves. But there was little land that could be used for planting fruit trees. Looking at the “lonely” fruit trees, the couple came up with a new idea—plant more trees. When spring came, they bought some tree saplings (树苗) and planted them on the mountains. In the beginning, many seeds failed to grow on the mountains because they didn’t adapt to (适应) the soil. But the couple didn’t give up. After many tries, they found several kinds of trees were strong enough to live on the poor mountains. Now, the two mountains are covered by over 50,000 trees. More than 2,000 birds arise in the mountains every year. They come from other places and live there peacefully. The job of the couple has also changed, from planting trees to patrolling (巡逻) the mountains. “We love the mountains and trees. We regard them as our own children,” said Lu. “Even though we grow old, our children will continue to protect the mountains.” 1．What did the couple plan to do on the two mountains at first? A．To plant flowers. B．To plant fruit trees. C．To plant trees and grass. D．To make a home for birds. 2．We can learn from Paragraph 3 that ________. A．the couple met some difficulties B．several kinds of trees were expensive C．the soil was right for planting all the trees D．the couple couldn’t adapt to the life on the mountains 3．What does the underlined word “arise” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Work. B．Die. C．Appear. D．Walk. 4．The passage is written in order of ________. A．space B．time C．persons D．opinions 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Life of Many Birds B．The Dream of Poor Villagers C．The New Idea of Planting Trees D．The Changes of Two Poor Mountains 主题01 人与社会——文学名著 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·江苏省南京市建邺区新城中学·期末） Main character in this chapter: “I”—Juli Baker (a teenage girl) The next morning, I raced to the bus stop extra early and climbed the tree. I caught the sun rising through the clouds, sending stripes of fire from one end of the world to the other. Then I heard a noise below. I looked down, and parked right below me were two trucks. There were four men standing around talking, and I almost called down to them, “I’m sorry, but you can’t park there... That’s a bus stop!” Just at that time, one of the men reached into the back of a truck and started taking out tools. Gloves. Ropes. A chain. And then chain saws (电锯). Three chain saws. Then one of the kids who rides the bus showed up and started talking to them, and pretty soon he was pointing up at me. One of the men called, “Hey! You’d better come down from there. We’re going to take this thing down.” I held on to the tree tightly (牢固地), because suddenly it felt as though I might fall. I managed to cry out, “The tree?” “Yeah, now come on down.” “But who told you to cut it down?” “The owner!” he called back. “But why?” “Because he’s going to build himself a house, and this tree is in the way. Now come on, girl, we’ve got work to do!” By that time most of the kids had gathered for the bus. They weren’t saying anything to me, just looking up at me and turning from time to time to talk to each other. My heart was crazy with fear. I couldn’t leave and let them cut down the tree! I cried, “You can’t cut it down! You just can’t!” One of the men shook his head and said, “I am this close to calling the police. Now are you going to come down or are we going to cut you down?” The bus was three blocks away. I’d never missed school for any reason other than illness, but I knew in my heart that this time was different. “You’re going to have to cut me down!” I cried. Then I had an idea. They’d never cut it down if all of us were in the tree. “Hey, guys!” I called to my classmates. “Get up here with me! They can’t cut it down if we’re all up here!” One by one, the kids just shook their heads and got on the bus. (Adapted from Flipped) 1．What writing order does the writer use in the passage?

Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·安徽省六安市第九中学·期末） During the Song Dynasty, there was an officer (官员) named Zhang Guaiya who worked in Chongyang County (县). Stealing (偷窃)was common then—even the county’s vault (金库) was stolen. One day, Zhang saw a man come out of the vault in a hurry. Zhang stopped him and asked the guards (护卫) to search him. They found a copper coin (铜币) in his headband (头巾). Zhang asked him how much money he had stolen. The man said he didn’t steal anything else. Zhang didn’t believe him and ordered the guards to beat him. The man didn’t give in and said, “I only stole a copper coin. You can’t beat me just because of that!” Zhang was very angry and said, “If you steal a copper coin every day, there will be a thousand copper coins after a thousand days. Constant dripping wears away a stone (水滴石穿).” “Constant dripping wears away a stone.” This saying tells us that small things done over time can make a big difference. It reminds us not to do small bad things. The saying also tells us to keep working hard. Take learning a language for example. You have to keep learning new words, reading and writing.

All the students nearly fell out of their chairs, laughing at me. “Don’t be silly. Only geniuses (天才) can become writers. And you are getting a D this term,” they said. I was deeply hurt and I couldn’t help crying. That night I wrote a short, sad poem about my broken dream and mailed it to Weekly Newspaper. To my surprise, they published (发表) it, and sent me two dollars. I was a paid writer! I showed the newspaper to my classmates. They laughed again. “Just luck,” they said. However, I had tasted the joy of success because my first poem was published. From then on, I never talked about my writing dream to my classmates again. I just kept on my dream by myself and kept writing. Later, I wrote a book about how I understood and felt about my life. It took me nine months to finish it. I chose a publisher and mailed my book. A month later, I received a letter, with an invitation for publishing the book. It came out in 15 languages and became a bestseller (畅销书). People often ask if I’m studying in a top college.

Happily, I picked up the bag, paid for it and ran all the way back to my aunt’s house. When I handed the bag to my aunt, there was a strange look on her face. She said, “Helen, this is a chicken frame, so there’s not much meat. Inside the bag are actual chicken bones.” I felt so bad that I didn’t ask before I bought it.

He was born on July 27, 1994. He loves to work on big projects to solve problems on Earth. When Boyan was 16 years old, he went on a diving trip to Greece. He was very surprised to see more plastic bags (塑料袋) in the water than fish. This made him want to do something about the plastic in the oceans. Later, he thought of building a machine which would use the moving water in the oceans to collect the plastic waste. In 2012, Boyan showed his first plan to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (太平洋垃圾块) at a TEDx meeting. In 2013, the video of his talk became very popular online. Because of this, Boyan decided to leave his university and started an organization called The Ocean Cleanup. Things didn’t go well in the beginning. The first two machines, Systems 001 and Systems 001/B, didn’t work well. They had different technical problems. System 001 couldn’t hold plastic well and its parts got broken because of strong forces. Though they faced some difficulties, they didn’t give up. In 2019, System 001/B finally caught some plastic. This was a big step forward. The organization also made a new machine called the Interceptor. It looks like a big boat and uses solar power (太阳能). Its job is to stop plastic from going into the oceans from rivers. Boyan and his team are trying to make our oceans and rivers cleaner and healthier. You can visit their website (https://theoceancleanup.com/) to see how much progress they have made and learn more about their work. 1．What made Boyan Slat want to solve the ocean plastic problem?

As his father, I’ve watched Ken patrol (巡逻) the area with his trusty (可靠的) trash picker and gloves, picking up whatever litter (垃圾) caught his eye, rain or shine. This all started after we visited a beach. Ken said he felt bad for Earth. The next day, he woke up and asked to go back to the beach. What surprised me was that Ken said he wanted to clean it. We compromised (折中) and went to a park instead. That day, Ken also cleaned the streets on the way to and from the park. When I asked Ken, “What do you want to do tomorrow?” he replied, “Can we go to a different park?” I couldn’t refuse him. I said, “Well, we could clean the schools” and that’s what we did.

Even when we went for a simple afternoon walk, Ken tagged along (跟随) with his bucket, cleaning the streets as we went. It seems that cleaning has become second nature to him and litter is the trigger (诱因) . When he said he wanted to do this every day over the summer, we didn’t realize how serious he was. But he wouldn’t stop it, and my wife and I are proud of him even though he’s just doing something as simple as picking up trash. It amazes me that at 6-and-a-half years old, he made the decision to achieve something, all on his own. 1．Why did Ken decide to pick up litter? A．Because his father asked him to do so.

As she and Uncle Jack walked out the door, Juanita’s mom handed her two bags. “One is for breakfast, and the other is for lunch,” she said to Juanita. On the way, Juanita asked Uncle Jack a million questions. “What kind of fish will we catch? When will we be at the lake? What will we use to catch the fish?” Because it was Juanita’s first fishing trip, Uncle Jack answered each question. Finally, they arrived at West Point Lake and put on their life jackets. As they got in the boat, Uncle Jack gave Juanita her first fishing job — untying (解开) the boat from the dock (码头). She put one foot up on the edge (边缘) of the boat. Plop! One of the bags went into the water. “Oh no! Our lunch is gone!” Juanita cried. But she soon forgot about the lost lunch. Uncle Jack found the perfect fishing place.

For the most part, I’m enjoying my new life as a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl, but sometimes it can get me down. It’s great that I can see my friends after school on weekdays. We go swimming every weekend too. That’s the good part. But one part of my life is getting worse — that’s my younger sister, Hanna. She is making me crazy.

For many people in Hainan, July 18, 2014, is a date they can’t forget—the day Super Typhoon Rammasun (超强台风威马逊) hit. It was the strongest typhoon to hit China in over 40 years.   Chen Wei, now 35, remembers clearly: “When the typhoon came, I was home with my family. The wind was terrifying—rain sounded like rocks hitting our roof. Suddenly, the power went out. We heard trees breaking outside. My dad tried to close the windows, but the wind was too strong—it broke the glass. We spent the whole night in the dark.”   Shop owner Li Fang in Haikou recalls: “I was in my store when it hit. The wind blew the door open and rain poured in. I tried to shut it, but I couldn’t. After the storm, the streets were covered with broken branches, fallen signs, and even overturned cars. It took weeks to clean up.”   Hainan often gets typhoons, but Rammasun was different. With winds reaching 216 km/h, it destroyed homes, uprooted trees, and left millions without power. The typhoon caused huge damage and took lives. Why do people remember disasters so clearly? Because they bring strong feelings-fear, shock and sadness. For Hainan people, Rammasun wasn’t just a storm - it changed their lives. After that, schools in Hainan taught students how to stay safe in storms. Students could have some lessons like Why storms happen, What to do when a storm comes, and How to help others. Today, Hainan has better typhoon protection. But those who lived through it will never forget nature’s fury that day. 1．What was Chen Wei doing when the typhoon hit? A．working in his store by himself B．staying with his family C．trying to close the window 2．What happened to Li Fang’s store during the typhoon? A．The rain poured in and she couldn’t shut the door. B．Her store was completely destroyed and overturned like a car. C．The power went out and they spent the whole night in the dark. 3．What does the underlined word uprooted mean? A． B． C． 4．Typhoon Rammasun ______________. A．hit Hainan on July 18, 2013 B．had winds that reached 216 km/h C．is the strongest typhoon in the world 5．Which is incorrect (不正确的) after Rammasun hit Hainan. A．Schools started teaching storm safety lessons B．People feel more afraid when storms come now. C．Hainan improved its typhoon warning systems. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了2014年超强台风威马逊袭击海南的事件，通过陈伟、李芳的亲身经历展现了台风的巨大破坏力，同时介绍了此次台风的影响，以及海南后续在台风防护、安全教学方面的改进。 1．细节理解题。根据“Chen Wei... remembers clearly: ‘When the typhoon came, I was home with my family.’”可知，台风来袭时，陈伟正和家人待在一起。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Shop owner Li Fang... recalls: ‘I was in my store when it hit. The wind blew the door open and rain poured in. I tried to shut it but I couldn’t.’”可知，台风期间李芳的商店门被吹开，雨水灌了进来，她关不上门。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“With winds reaching 216 km/h, it destroyed homes, uprooted trees” 可知，“uprooted”描述的是台风对树木的破坏，结合图片内容，C选项呈现的是“树木被连根拔起”的场景，与“uprooted” 的含义一致。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“With winds reaching 216 km/h”可知，台风威马逊的风速达到了216公里/小时。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据“After that, schools in Hainan taught students how to stay safe in storms”以及“Today, Hainan has better typhoon protection”可知，B选项“现在人们遇到风暴更害怕”在原文中未提及，表述不正确。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·江西省九江市都昌县·期末） Early one October morning, a nice woman sent a young magpie (喜鹊) to my home for care.

With my care, the young magpie was doing well, but he was not happy to find himself in a cage (笼子). Several days later, his wings were fine and nothing else was broken. He recovered (恢复). I decided to drive him to where he was found. When I arrived, I got the cage out of the car and opened the door. I offered my arm. He jumped onto it and looked around. I could see he knew where he was. Next to us was a tree. He flew straight to the top to join a wagtail (鹡鸰). The wagtail made lots of high singing and flew off across the field. The young magpie remained (保持) on the top of it. I began to worry as he still needed his parents. The next minute I heard the singing of the wagtail again.

I decided to drive him to where he was found.”以及“I could see he knew where he was.”可知，小喜鹊在作者的照顾下恢复了健康，作者决定开车把它送回发现它的地方，而且小喜鹊似乎也知道自己在哪里。选项A、B、C均与原文相符。而文中并未提及作者不愿意让小喜鹊离开，选项D错误。故选D。 3．词义猜测题。根据第三段“Next to us was a tree. He flew straight to the top to join a wagtail. The wagtail made lots of high singing and flew off across the field. The young magpie remained on the top of it.”可知，小喜鹊飞到了一棵树的树顶上，与一只鹡鸰待在一起，鹡鸰飞走后，小喜鹊仍然待在树顶上。因此，“it”指的是那棵树。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The next minute I heard the singing of the wagtail again. He was flying back and two large magpies followed. They landed on either side of the young magpie, and then put their heads in the air and sang excitedly.”可知，鹡鸰飞回来时，两只大喜鹊跟在后面，它们落在了小喜鹊的两侧，兴奋地唱着歌。由此可以推断，这两只大喜鹊是小喜鹊的父母，小喜鹊最终与父母团聚了。故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，作者精心照顾受伤的小喜鹊，并在它康复后将其送回发现它的地方，希望它能与父母团聚。这些行为都表明作者是一个心地善良的人。故选B。 Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·山东省滨州市阳信县·期末） In Liaoning Province, a couple spent nearly half a century turning two poor mountains into a home for birds. Tian Wangui,70, and his wife Lu Min, are villagers in Qiantian Village. They wanted to plant fruit trees to make a living. In 1982, the couple started planting fruit trees on two poor mountains. At first, the couple planted some fruit trees on part of the land. In order to water the trees, they had to carry water up to the top of the mountains by themselves. But there was little land that could be used for planting fruit trees. Looking at the “lonely” fruit trees, the couple came up with a new idea—plant more trees. When spring came, they bought some tree saplings (树苗) and planted them on the mountains. In the beginning, many seeds failed to grow on the mountains because they didn’t adapt to (适应) the soil. But the couple didn’t give up. After many tries, they found several kinds of trees were strong enough to live on the poor mountains. Now, the two mountains are covered by over 50,000 trees. More than 2,000 birds arise in the mountains every year. They come from other places and live there peacefully. The job of the couple has also changed, from planting trees to patrolling (巡逻) the mountains. “We love the mountains and trees. We regard them as our own children,” said Lu. “Even though we grow old, our children will continue to protect the mountains.” 1．What did the couple plan to do on the two mountains at first? A．To plant flowers. B．To plant fruit trees. C．To plant trees and grass. D．To make a home for birds. 2．We can learn from Paragraph 3 that ________. A．the couple met some difficulties B．several kinds of trees were expensive C．the soil was right for planting all the trees D．the couple couldn’t adapt to the life on the mountains 3．What does the underlined word “arise” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Work. B．Die. C．Appear. D．Walk. 4．The passage is written in order of ________. A．space B．time C．persons D．opinions 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Life of Many Birds B．The Dream of Poor Villagers C．The New Idea of Planting Trees D．The Changes of Two Poor Mountains 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了辽宁省的一对夫妇田万贵和卢敏花费近半个世纪将两座贫瘠的山变成鸟类的家园的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“In 1982, the couple started planting fruit trees on two poor mountains.”可知，这对夫妇一开始计划在两座山上种果树。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“In the beginning, many seeds failed to grow on the mountains because they didn’t adapt to (适应) the soil. But the couple didn’t give up. After many tries, they found several kinds of trees were strong enough to live on the poor mountains.”可知，一开始，许多种子因为不适应山上的土壤而无法生长，但是这对夫妇没有放弃，经过多次尝试，他们发现了几种足够强壮、能在贫瘠的山上生长的树，由此可知这对夫妇遇到了一些困难。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“More than 2,000 birds arise in the mountains every year. They come from other places and live there peacefully.”可知，每年有超过2000只鸟从其他地方来到这里，平静地生活在这里，由此可推测每年有超过2000只鸟出现在这座山上，所以arise意为“出现”。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“In 1982, the couple started planting fruit trees on two poor mountains.”以及“When spring came...”以及“Now, the two mountains are covered by over 50,000 trees.”可知，文章按照时间顺序进行叙述。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了一对夫妇花费近半个世纪将两座贫瘠的山变成鸟类的家园的故事，因此选项D“两座贫瘠之山的变化”是本文最佳标题。故选D。 主题01 人与社会——文学名著 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·江苏省南京市建邺区新城中学·期末） Main character in this chapter: “I”—Juli Baker (a teenage girl) The next morning, I raced to the bus stop extra early and climbed the tree. I caught the sun rising through the clouds, sending stripes of fire from one end of the world to the other. Then I heard a noise below. I looked down, and parked right below me were two trucks. There were four men standing around talking, and I almost called down to them, “I’m sorry, but you can’t park there... That’s a bus stop!” Just at that time, one of the men reached into the back of a truck and started taking out tools. Gloves. Ropes. A chain. And then chain saws (电锯). Three chain saws. Then one of the kids who rides the bus showed up and started talking to them, and pretty soon he was pointing up at me. One of the men called, “Hey! You’d better come down from there. We’re going to take this thing down.” I held on to the tree tightly (牢固地), because suddenly it felt as though I might fall. I managed to cry out, “The tree?” “Yeah, now come on down.” “But who told you to cut it down?” “The owner!” he called back. “But why?” “Because he’s going to build himself a house, and this tree is in the way. Now come on, girl, we’ve got work to do!” By that time most of the kids had gathered for the bus. They weren’t saying anything to me, just looking up at me and turning from time to time to talk to each other. My heart was crazy with fear. I couldn’t leave and let them cut down the tree! I cried, “You can’t cut it down! You just can’t!” One of the men shook his head and said, “I am this close to calling the police. Now are you going to come down or are we going to cut you down?” The bus was three blocks away. I’d never missed school for any reason other than illness, but I knew in my heart that this time was different. “You’re going to have to cut me down!” I cried. Then I had an idea. They’d never cut it down if all of us were in the tree. “Hey, guys!” I called to my classmates. “Get up here with me! They can’t cut it down if we’re all up here!” One by one, the kids just shook their heads and got on the bus. (Adapted from Flipped) 1．What writing order does the writer use in the passage?

Stealing (偷窃)was common then—even the county’s vault (金库) was stolen. One day, Zhang saw a man come out of the vault in a hurry. Zhang stopped him and asked the guards (护卫) to search him. They found a copper coin (铜币) in his headband (头巾). Zhang asked him how much money he had stolen. The man said he didn’t steal anything else. Zhang didn’t believe him and ordered the guards to beat him. The man didn’t give in and said, “I only stole a copper coin. You can’t beat me just because of that!” Zhang was very angry and said, “If you steal a copper coin every day, there will be a thousand copper coins after a thousand days. Constant dripping wears away a stone (水滴石穿).” “Constant dripping wears away a stone.” This saying tells us that small things done over time can make a big difference. It reminds us not to do small bad things. The saying also tells us to keep working hard. Take learning a language for example. You have to keep learning new words, reading and writing.

He was very surprised to see more plastic bags (塑料袋) in the water than fish. This made him want to do something about the plastic in the oceans. Later, he thought of building a machine which would use the moving water in the oceans to collect the plastic waste. In 2012, Boyan showed his first plan to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (太平洋垃圾块) at a TEDx meeting. In 2013, the video of his talk became very popular online.

The first two machines, Systems 001 and Systems 001/B, didn’t work well. They had different technical problems. System 001 couldn’t hold plastic well and its parts got broken because of strong forces. Though they faced some difficulties, they didn’t give up. In 2019, System 001/B finally caught some plastic. This was a big step forward. The organization also made a new machine called the Interceptor. It looks like a big boat and uses solar power (太阳能). Its job is to stop plastic from going into the oceans from rivers. Boyan and his team are trying to make our oceans and rivers cleaner and healthier.

As his father, I’ve watched Ken patrol (巡逻) the area with his trusty (可靠的) trash picker and gloves, picking up whatever litter (垃圾) caught his eye, rain or shine. This all started after we visited a beach. Ken said he felt bad for Earth. The next day, he woke up and asked to go back to the beach. What surprised me was that Ken said he wanted to clean it. We compromised (折中) and went to a park instead. That day, Ken also cleaned the streets on the way to and from the park. When I asked Ken, “What do you want to do tomorrow?” he replied, “Can we go to a different park?” I couldn’t refuse him. I said, “Well, we could clean the schools” and that’s what we did. He’s really crazy about this cleaning mission (任务) and I’m not going to discourage him. In just one week, Ken has cleaned every park, school and public space we could get to in our community. Even when we went for a simple afternoon walk, Ken tagged along (跟随) with his bucket, cleaning the streets as we went. It seems that cleaning has become second nature to him and litter is the trigger (诱因) . When he said he wanted to do this every day over the summer, we didn’t realize how serious he was. But he wouldn’t stop it, and my wife and I are proud of him even though he’s just doing something as simple as picking up trash.
