专题02 任务型阅读15篇（上海专用） （精选中考模拟热点话题） Robinson Crusoe, a young Englishman with a strong desire for adventure, was determined to sail across the seas. Despite his parents’ strong disagreement, he went on a voyage secretly. Unfortunately, his ship was destroyed by a huge storm. He became the only survivor and was washed up on an unknown island... When I woke up, the storm was over. I found myself lying on a strange island. The sun was shining brightly, and the waves were gently beating against the shore. There was nothing but sand, rocks and thick forest as far as I could see. My ship had been broken into pieces during the storm, and all the sailors had disappeared. I was completely alone, with no one to turn to for help. At first I felt hopeless and afraid. I had no food, no clean water and no tools. I did not know where I was or how long I might survive in this wild place. But soon I realized that crying and worrying were completely useless. I walked along the shore and saw our ship’s wreckage (残骸) nearby, and went over and climbed on board. I managed to take several useful things from it: some bread, rice, guns, bullets, daily tools, and even a few coins. I made a small raft to carry them to the shore, after which I built a simple tent near a hill and lit a fire for warmth and safety. Sitting by the fire, I promised myself I would never give up. In the following days, I worked hard to survive on the island. I found safe wild fruits to eat, made a fishing net to catch fish for food, and made simple wooden tools such as an axe and a shovel. Every afternoon, I collected dry wood to keep a fire burning day and night, because the fire could scare away dangerous animals. Every night, I wrote down my experiences in my journal to encourage myself and stay brave. Slowly, the island no longer seemed so terrible. I told myself again and again: I must keep going. I finally learned that __________________. 1．What happened to Robinson Crusoe’s ship when he set sail? 2．Why did Robinson feel hopeless and afraid at first on the island? 3．From the underlined part, what can we tell about Robinson Crusoe’s character? 4．How did Robinson make a living and protect himself on the island? (Within 25 words) 5．Please complete the last sentence of the story. 6．If you were Robinson, what would you do first to improve your life on the island? Why? 【答案】1．His ship was destroyed by a huge storm. 2．Because he was completely alone with no food, clean water, tools, or anyone to turn to for help. 3．He was brave, determined, and would never give up in the face of difficulties. 4．He ate wild fruits and fish, made tools, kept a fire, and wrote a journal to survive and protect himself. 5．the most important thing is not to give up, no matter how hard life is.（答案不唯一，合理即可） 6．I would build a safe shelter first, because it can protect me from bad weather and dangerous animals.（答案不唯一，合理即可） 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，改编自《鲁滨逊漂流记》，讲述了主人公在风暴后流落荒岛，从绝望到振作，利用沉船残骸中的物资和自然资源努力求生的故事。 1．根据文章开头“Unfortunately, his ship was destroyed by a huge storm.” 可知，鲁滨逊的船被一场巨大的风暴摧毁了。 2．根据文中“I was completely alone, with no one to turn to for help. At first I felt hopeless and afraid. I had no food, no clean water and no tools.” 可知，他感到绝望和害怕，是因为他孤身一人，没有食物、淡水、工具，也无人可以求助。 3．根据划线部分可知，他在困境中主动寻找物资、搭建住所，并发誓永不放弃，体现出他勇敢、意志坚定、面对困难绝不退缩的性格特点。 4．根据文章“found safe wild fruits … made a fishing net to catch fish … made simple wooden tools such as an axe and a shovel … collected dry wood to keep a fire … wrote down my experiences”可知，他通过吃野果、鱼，制作工具，生火，写日记来谋生和自我保护。 5．根据前文他不断鼓励自己“never give up”“keep going”可知，他最终明白的是永不放弃的道理。（答案不唯一，合理即可） 6．这是开放性问题，结合文中鲁滨逊的生存逻辑，优先解决安全与生存问题即可，示例：I would build a safe shelter first, because it can protect me from bad weather and dangerous animals.（答案不唯一，合理即可） 根据对话内容回答下列问题。 The match was nearly over and I was almost on my last legs, when I saw a chance. I picked the ball up from Sally. “Jess!” I heard Jules shouting as she ran alongside me. “Pass!” I glanced up and hit the ball forward into space. Jules picked it up and hit the ball into the net. It was just as good as Beckham’s last-minute goal against Greece. Jules ran into me and I jumped on her, followed by the rest of the team. We were all screaming with joy. The referee (裁判) had to hurry us back to the centre circle, but one minute later he blew the whistle for full-time. A draw (平局). “Penalties (点球大战),” Jules said, with a wide smile on her face. Although it wasn’t usual to finish a friendly with penalties, both sides had decided that it would be a nice idea. Now, with my legs shaking, I wasn’t so sure. Our coach, Joe, came on to cheer us up. Maybe he wouldn’t choose me. “OK, Jules, you go first,” Joe said. “Then Mel, Tina, Hannah and—” he turned to me “—Jess.” I tried not to look relieved that I was last. With any luck I wouldn’t have to take my turn, if the match was decided before that. The Germans went first and scored. So did Jules, with a powerful shot. The Germans scored again. So did Mel. After a third German goal, Tina looked nervous, but she was lucky because her shot went in off the post (球门柱). My stomach was turning over and over as Hannah stepped up to take our fourth penalty. The Germans hadn’t missed one yet. If Hannah scored, “it” would be all down to the last German penalty-taker—and me. Hannah sent the goalkeeper the wrong way and rolled the ball smoothly into the net. I tried to take deep breaths to calm myself down. If the next German player scored, I’d have to take my turn. I closed my eyes, hoping she would fail. A loud cheer went up around the stadium. Then the referee called me over, and with heavy steps, I walked over to place the ball on the spot. Behind me, I heard the girls yelling encouragement. “Come on, Jess! You can do this.” I made a superhuman effort and ran towards the ball. ________ 1．Who scored the goal and who provided the assist near the end of the match? 2．Why did the referee hurry them back to the centre circle? 3．How did the two teams perform in the first four rounds of penalties? 4．What does “it” refer to in the sentence “If Hannah scored, it would be all down to the last German penalty-taker—and me.”? 5．What can we infer from the sentence A loud cheer went up around the stadium? 6．The story stops at: “I made a superhuman effort and ran towards the ball.” Imagine what happens next and write an ending including her feeling and the result. (no more than 30 words) 【答案】1．Jules and Jess./Jules scored the goal, and Jess passed the ball. 2．Because the team members were celebrating the goal together, and the match needed to continue. 3．Both teams scored all of their first four penalties. /The Germans scored four times, and the author’s team also scored four times. 4．It refers to the result of the penalty shoot-out/the situation where Jess would have to take her penalty. 5．The last German penalty-taker missed her shot, so the outcome of the match would depend on Jess’s penalty. 6．My legs trembled as I kicked; the ball flew into the net. We won! I felt tears of joy stream down my face. 【导语】本文主要讲述了一场足球比赛尾声，Jess助攻Jules扳平比分，进入点球大战。前四轮双方全部罚中，第五轮德国球员罚丢，Jess必须主罚最后一个决定胜负的点球。故事在Jess冲向球的瞬间结束，留下悬念。 1．文中描述：Jess从Sally脚下断球，Jules边跑边喊“Pass!”，Jess抬头将球传到空档，Jules接球射门得分。因此，这次进球是Jess助攻、Jules完成的。 2．根据上下文，进球后，Jules跑向Jess，Jess跳到她身上，其他队员也加入庆祝。裁判需要尽快恢复比赛，因为比赛尚未结束（仅一分钟后就吹响终场哨）。所以裁判催促他们回到中圈。 3．前三轮：德国三罚全中，我方（Jules，Mel，Tina）三罚全中。第四轮：德国先罚中（文中说“The Germans hadn’t missed one yet”是在Hannah罚之前，说明德国第四罚已进）；随后Hannah罚进我方第四球。因此前四轮双方各罚四次，全部命中。 4．如果Hannah罚进（使比分4-4），那么最终结果将取决于最后一轮德国罚球手和Jess的罚球。这里的“it”是虚指，可以指代点球大战的胜负结果，同时隐含了“Jess必须罚球”的局面。 5．上文Jess祈祷德国球员罚丢。欢呼声响起，伴随“Then the referee called me over,”，说明德国最后一罚未进（否则对方球迷会欢呼或沉寂）。由此推断出德国第五轮点球手射失，比分仍为4-4，Jess必须罚最后一球来决定胜负。 6．本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，符合字数要求且情节连贯，合理延续故事即可。答案可为：Jess罚进点球，球队获胜；描写她紧张但成功的动作，以及喜悦的情感。 Have you ever wished you could turn back time and do something differently? Maybe you’ve said something hurtful or failed a test. Everyone makes mistakes; the important thing is not to panic. Remember that messing up from time to time is part of being human. Mistakes are important When you mess something up, it’s easy to feel depressed about yourself. However, mistakes give your brain an opportunity to adjust what it’s doing and learn, so you get things right in the future. In fact, they are such an important part of being human that your body often knows that you have made them before you do. Scientists say when you make a mistake, like falling off a bike, your brain creates electrical activity. This sends a signal to the rest of your brain before you even hit the ground. Studies show these signals teach you to be more careful next time. How can they help? Making mistakes teaches you resilience, which means being able to bounce back (恢复) from disappointments or challenges. England footballer Lauren Hemp, who won the women’s Euros with the Lionesses this summer, says sometimes the team makes“mistake after mistake” in matches, but this just makes them more determined to play better. “Even when things aren’t going our way, we can still try to turn it around,” she says. What seems like a disaster at the time can sometimes be funny afterwards, so next time if you say the wrong thing in class, you could ____________. Face up to failures The best way to learn from your mistakes is to face up to them, says Professor Pragya Agarwal. Try to feel comfortable when things go wrong. It might feel like a strange way to deal with failure, but it’s “a more positive way forward”, she explains. This is because you often feel embarrassed by your mistakes, so you try to hide them from others, which makes you more likely to repeat them. When you’ re not being hard on yourself, it’s easier to learn and this helps you do things differently next time, Agarwal says. 1．Do mistakes help the brain adjust and help people do things right later? 2．What happens in the brain when people make a mistake according to scientists? 3．Why does the writer mention England footballer Lauren Hemp in the passage? 4．What can be filled in this blank? 5．What does the underlined part“a more positive way” refer to? 6．Please tell us a mistake you once made and what you learned from it (in about 30 words). 【答案】1．Yes, they do. 2．The brain creates electrical activity and sends a signal to the rest of the brain. 3．To show that mistakes teach people resilience and make them more determined to improve. 4．laugh at it later 5．Facing mistakes and feeling comfortable when things go wrong. 6．Once I failed to review before a test. I learned to make a study plan and prepare carefully, and my grades improved a lot later. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了犯错对人类的意义、犯错时大脑的反应、犯错对个人成长的积极作用，以及如何正确面对错误的方法。 1．根据第二段中“mistakes give your brain an opportunity to adjust what it’s doing and learn, so you get things right in future.”可知，犯错确实能帮助大脑调节并让人未来把事情做好。因此答案为：Yes, they do. 2．根据第二段中“Scientists say when you make a mistake, like falling off a bike, your brain creates electrical activity. This sends a signal to the rest of your brain before you even hit the ground.”可知，人们犯错时，大脑会产生电活动，并向大脑其他部分发送信号。适当整合原文具体信息即可。 3．根据第三段中“Making mistakes teaches you resilience, which means being able to bounce back from disappointments or challenges. England footballer Lauren Hemp... says sometimes the team makes‘mistake after mistake’ in matches, but this just makes them more determined to play better.”可知，作者举例子是为了说明犯错能教会人韧性，让人从挫折中恢复并更坚定地做得更好。适当整合原文具体信息即可。 4．根据第三段中“What seems like a disaster at the time can sometimes be funny afterwards”可知，前文提到当时看似糟糕的错误，事后再看会觉得好笑，此处可填符合语境的表达，例如：laugh at it later（开放性答案，合理即可）。 5．根据第四段中“The best way to learn from your mistakes is to face up to them, says Professor Pragya Agarwal. Try to feel comfortable when things go wrong. It might feel like a strange way to deal with failure, but it’s‘a more positive way forward’” 可知，“a more positive way”指的是正视错误、坦然面对失败的方式。 6．本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一，需结合自身经历作答，合理作答即可。示例：Once I failed to review before a test. I learned to make a study plan and prepare carefully, and my grades improved a lot later. In a small village in Yunnan, there lives a young man named Li Wei. He was once a migrant worker in a big city, but he decided to return to his hometown two years ago. His goal was to use the Internet to help villagers sell their oranges. At first, many villagers didn’t believe in him. They thought no one would buy fruits online. Li Wei didn’t give up. He learned how to film and edit short videos. He showed the beautiful orange orchards and the process of picking fresh oranges. He also told stories about the hardworking villagers. His videos became very popular on social media. Soon, orders started pouring in from all over China. The villagers were amazed. In the first year, they sold three times as many oranges as before.

Citizen science projects are led by scientists and supported by the public. They can include many activities, from stargazing (观星) to whale watching. You don’t need to be an expert to join in — anyone can be a citizen scientist. By counting, measuring, watching and listening, citizen scientists collect information that helps professional scientists and researchers to understand the world better. ◆ How is helping good for you? Being a citizen scientist isn’t just great for the planet, it’s good for you too. Sabrina Romanoff, a psychologist (心理学家), says taking part in the projects helps you learn new skills. Her research also shows it makes you feel happier and more confident. When you take action on a problem that matters to you, you are helping to find a solution. You are also making new discoveries. Citizen science projects encourage people to do simple and helpful research. When you realize that you’re making a positive difference, you can be proud of yourselves. ◆ What project can you take part in? There are many different citizen science projects you can join, each focusing on a different part of nature. For example, The Big Garden Bird-watch project asks you to spend one hour counting the number of birds you see. Your results help scientists record bird species (物种) in the UK: which ones are doing well and which are having trouble. The Big Seaweed (海藻) Search project asks people to photograph 14 species of seaweed on UK beaches. The findings help scientists understand how healthy our seas are. Nick Wilson, one of many citizen scientists, says taking part in such projects means a lot to him. It not only ____________ but also ____________. 1．Are citizen science projects supported by the public? 2．How do citizen scientists collect information? 3．Why is taking part in the projects good for people according to Sabrina Romanoff? 4．What do Citizen science projects encourage people to do? 5．In The Big Garden Bird-watch project, how does the result people get help scientists? 6．What does taking part in citizen science projects mean to Nick Wilson? 【答案】1．Yes, they are. 2．By counting, measuring, watching and listening. 3．It helps people learn new skills, and feel happier and more confident. 4．They encourage people to do simple and helpful research. 5．The results help scientists record bird species in the UK: which ones are doing well and which are having trouble. 6．(Any reasonable answer is acceptable) It not only helps protect nature but also makes his life more colourful and meaningful. 【导语】本文是说明文，主要介绍了“公民科学（citizen science）”项目，包括其定义、对个人的益处、可参与的具体项目，以及公民科学家的参与意义。 1．第二段第一句明确指出“Citizen science projects are led by scientists and supported by the public.”，直接提取信息可知公民科学项目是由公众支持的。 2．第二段最后一句提到“By counting, measuring, watching and listening, citizen scientists collect information…”，直接引用原文即可得到收集信息的方式。 3．第三段中心理学家Sabrina Romanoff的观点指出“taking part in the projects helps you learn new skills. Her research also shows it makes you feel happier and more confident.”，整合这两点即可得到答案。 4．第三段后半部分直接说“Citizen science projects encourage people to do simple and helpful research.”，提取原文信息即可。 5．第四段中关于“The Big Garden Bird-watch”项目的描述提到“Your results help scientists record bird species (物种) in the UK: which ones are doing well and which are having trouble.”，直接引用原文即可。 6．结合全文对公民科学项目意义的描述，以及Nick Wilson作为公民科学家的身份，可从“保护地球”和“个人成长（学习新技能、更快乐自信、有新发现、为自己骄傲）”两方面作答，符合文中“not only… but also…”的结构。 Monday, 1 September     Rainy Dear diary, This morning, when I looked in the mirror, I didn’t feel like myself at all. Today was my first day wearing the eye patch (眼罩). Mum told me it would help my injured eye, but that didn’t comfort me. I couldn’t help thinking about the boys on the playground—would they point and laugh at me? On the bus, I kept close to the window and watched the rain run down the glass. At school, when my classmates saw me, they came to ask me what happened to my eye. I knew they didn’t want to hurt me—they just wanted to show care and kindness, but a little sadness and worry still came over me. What a day!Tuesday, 2 September     Cloudy Dear diary, Today didn’t start any better. But we had a special class. Our class teacher held up a piece of white paper with a small black dot, “What do you see first?” “The black dot!” we said. She smiled, “Life is like this. We often notice the black dots, but don’t forget the white paper. Why not turn the dot into something nice?” Then she asked us to draw with the black dot. This class touched me. After class, I took out a pencil and drew a shark on my patch. Back in the classroom, kids crowded around me and showed great interest in my design. “Nice painting!” someone cried out and was amazed by my talent for drawing. This made me a little lighter and helped me regain confidence. Wednesday, 3 September     Sunny Dear diary, Everything moved in a positive direction today. I joked to my classmates that my shark would protect me from anyone who made fun of me. Everyone laughed after hearing it. A few kids even asked me to draw animals for them. Hearing the word “cool” warmed my heart. Before I knew it, the day was over. How I wish it could be a little more! Till now, this patch isn’t just a drawing anymore. It reminds me that ________. 1．Did the author wear his eye patch for fun? 2．What did the author’s classmates do when they saw him at first? 3．Where did the author draw a shark after class? 4．On which day did the author make a joke to his classmates? 5．Based on the three diaries, how did the author’s feelings change? 6．What does this special patch remind the author? Fill in the blank. 【答案】1．No，he didn’t. 2．They came to ask him what happened to his eye. 3．On his eye patch. 4．On Wednesday, 3 September. 5．From sad and worried to confident and happy. 6．We should focus on the bright side of life 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以日记的形式讲述了作者因眼睛受伤佩戴眼罩，从最初的自卑、担忧，到后来在老师的启发下，在眼罩上画鲨鱼，最终重拾自信的故事。 【详解】316．根据文章第1段“I couldn’t help thinking about the boys on the playground—would they point and laugh at me?”以及第2段“Mum told me it would help my injured eye”可知，作者戴眼罩是因为眼睛受伤了，是出于治疗需要，而不是为了好玩。故填No，he didn’t. 1．根据文章第1段“At school, when my classmates saw me, they came to ask me what happened to my eye”可知，同学们看到作者时，上前询问他的眼睛怎么了。故填They came to ask him what happened to his eye. 2．根据文章第2段“...I took out a pencil and drew a shark on my patch.”可知，作者在课后是在自己的眼罩上画了一条鲨鱼。故填On his eye patch. 3．根据文章第3段“Wednesday, 3 September”和“I joked to my classmates that my shark would protect me from anyone who made fun of me”可知，作者是在9月3日星期三和同学们开了玩笑。故填On Wednesday, 3 September. 4．根据文章第1段“a little sadness and worry still came over me”、第2段“This made me a little lighter and helped me regain confidence”和第3段“Hearing the word ‘cool’ warmed my heart”可知，作者的心情从难过担忧转变为自信快乐。故填From sad and worried to confident and happy. 5．根据文章第2段老师的话“Life is like this. We often notice the black dots, but don’t forget the white paper. Why not turn the dot into something nice”以及作者的经历可知，眼罩提醒作者要关注生活中好的一面。故填We should focus on the bright side of life.（答案不唯一，言之有理即可） Cole loved helping in his mother’s garden since he was a child. But after he finished school, he worked as a salesman in a shopping center for thirty years. “Everything changed in 2016,” Cole said. That year, Cole’s mum, a flower-lover, moved in with him and his wife. She was shocked by so much litter on the street. “Why are there so many rubbish bags and empty bottles on this street?” she asked. She pointed at the dry tree pits (坑) outside their house and said, “Let’s plant some roses from our old garden here!” Mum and Cole began to work. They moved young rose plants into six tree pits. Guess what? The plants grew really well! To their surprise, there was no more litter around. “That was great! I realized that I could change something, rather than just sitting at home,” said Cole. In the following year, Cole created different gardens in six tree pits along the street. People up and down the street stopped to ask, “Who planted these flowers? They’re so beautiful!” and strangers turned into friends. Kids offered to water the plants. The next spring, the city used the strong grass killer on the whole street to kill wild grass. Days later, all the plants turned brown. Cole stood in front of the dead flowers, heartbroken. Then Aunt Mary from next door walked over with some seeds. “I have some flower seeds. Let’s start again!” The news spread. Tom brought young rose plants. Lisa brought sunflower seeds. Even Mr. Smith, the serious banker, gave strawberry vines from his garden. Soon, fifteen tree pits were full of colourful plants. A group of neighbours helped look after them. The experience led Cole to begin his “City Garden Project”. The project has turned over twenty parking lot corners into wildflower beds. Whenever he sees kids watching bees in the flower beds, he remembers his mum’s words: “No big heroes are needed to change the world.” 1．Why did Cole’s mum suggest planting roses? 2．Did the flowers Cole had planted die after the city used the grass killer? 3．What experience led Cole to start his “City Garden Project”? 4．What does “No big heroes are needed to change the world.” mean in the story? 5．How did Cole’s mum influence his “City Garden Project”? (2 points) 6．If you were Cole, what would be your ways to protect the plants from the city’s grass killer? 【答案】1．Because she was shocked by the street litter and saw the dry tree pits outside their house. 2．Yes, they did. 3．The experience of planting flowers with his mum, losing the plants to the grass killer, and getting neighbors’ help to replant them. 4．Ordinary people can change the world with small actions. 5．①She suggested planting roses in dry tree pits. ②Her words inspired his project. 6． ①Ask workers to avoid spraying near the plants. ②Cover the plants with a protective cloth when spraying. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了科尔在母亲的提议下在街边树坑种花，植物因除草剂枯萎后邻里纷纷帮忙重新栽种，这段经历让他发起“城市花园计划”，也让他懂得普通人靠微小行动就能改变世界的道理。 【详解】322．根据“That year Cole’s mom, a flower lover, moved in with him and his wife. She was shocked by so much litter on the street”和“She pointed at the dry tree pits outside their house and said ‘Let’s plant some roses from our old garden here’”可知，科尔的妈妈建议种玫瑰是因为她看到街上有很多垃圾很震惊，还看到家门外有干枯的树坑，故填Because she was shocked by the litter and saw the dry tree pits outside their house. 1．根据“Days later, all the plants turned brown. Cole stood in front of the dead flowers, heartbroken”可知，城市喷洒除草剂后科尔种的花全都枯死了，故填Yes, they did. 2．根据“Mum and Cole began to work. They moved young rose plants into six tree pits. Guess what? The plants grew really well!”“In the following year, Cole created different gardens in six tree pits along the street.”“Cole stood in front of the dead flowers, heartbroken.”和“The news spread. Tom brought young rose plants. Lisa brought sunflower seeds. Even Mr. Smith, the serious banker, gave strawberry vines from his garden.”可知，科尔和妈妈树坑种花、花因除草剂枯死、邻里帮忙补种，这段经历让他开启了“城市花园计划”，故填The experience of planting flowers with his mum, losing the plants to the grass killer, and getting neighbors’ help to replant them. 3．根据“No big heroes are needed to change the world”及全文科尔和邻里用小花改变街道的事可知，在故事中这句话意味着普通人能靠微小行动改变世界，故填Ordinary people can change the world with small actions. 4．根据“She pointed at the dry tree pits outside their house and said ‘Let’s plant some roses from our old garden here’”和“No big heroes are needed to change the world”可知，科尔妈妈提议在树坑种玫瑰的行动，和说的话启发了他推行该计划，故填①She suggested planting roses in dry tree pits. ②Her words inspired his project. 5．本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，结合自身想法，如请求工作人员避开植物喷洒除草剂、喷洒时用防护布盖住植物等，合理作答即可，故填①Ask workers to avoid spraying near the plants. ②Cover the plants with a protective cloth when spraying. “You have saved my horse,” Queen Olivia told the young boy standing before her. “Now you shall have a reward.” Peter nervously ran his fingers through his brown hair. The frightened horse ran past him as he was working in the field that morning. He would have helped it whether it belonged to the queen or not. But he had to admit that getting a reward (奖励) was nice. Two of the queen’s men appeared. One carried a mirror. Red jewels shone on top of the mirror’s silver frame. The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it. “Only one reward can be yours,” the queen said. “Choose wisely.” “That’s easy,” Peter said. “I’ll take the chicken.” Some of the queen’s men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice. “And why did you choose the chicken?” the queen asked. “Well, I don’t know much about jewels,” Peter answered. “But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.” Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may look fancy. But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” Peter took the chicken and bowed. “Thank you, your majesty.” “You are a smart child,” the queen added. “I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?” Peter smiled. “Thank you very much!” he said excitedly. A job at the castle paid well. Now his family would eat well for the rest of their lives—all because________! 1．What was Peter doing when a frightened horse ran past him? 2．Who did the frightened horse belong to? 3．Why did Peter choose the chicken instead of the mirror? 4．Did Peter make a wise choice or a foolish one? 5．What else did Queen Olivia offer Peter? 6．What can be filled in the blank at the end of the passage? 【答案】1．He was working in the field one morning. 2．Queen Olivia. 3．Because the chicken would provide eggs for his family. /Because he knew chickens well. 4．A wise choice. 5．A well-paid job./A job to take care of the horses. 6．He was smart enough to make the right choice. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了男孩彼得救了奥利维亚女王的马后，在奖励中选择了实用的鸡而非华而不实的镜子，最终获得女王赏识并得到一份好工作的故事。 1．根据原文“The frightened horse ran past him as he was working in the field that morning.”可知，as引导时间状语从句，强调两个动作同时发生，即马跑过的时候，彼得正在田里干活。故填He was working in the field one morning. 2．根据原文开头女王奥利维亚的话“You have saved my horse”可知，这匹马的主人是女王奥利维亚。故填Queen Olivia. 3．根据原文彼得的回答“I don’t know much about jewels... But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”可知，彼得不了解珠宝的价值，但清楚鸡的实用性 —— 能长期为家人提供鸡蛋，这是他做出选择的核心原因。故填Because the chicken would provide eggs for his family. /Because he knew chickens well. 4．根据原文女王的评价“Then you did make a wise choice”以及补充说明“That mirror may look fancy. But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.”可知，镜子只是华而不实的装饰品，而鸡更有实用价值，因此彼得的选择是明智的。故填A wise choice. 5．根据原文女王的话“I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?”以及后文“A job at the castle paid well”可知，女王不仅给了彼得奖励，还为他提供了一份在城堡照看马匹的高薪工作。故填A well-paid job./A job to take care of the horses. 6．开放性试题，符合逻辑的答案均可得分。根据前文可知，彼得因为选择了实用的鸡，展现出自己的明智，才得到女王的赏识和高薪工作，让家人从此衣食无忧。此处需要总结这个因果关系，故填He was smart enough to make the right choice. Allen’s First Marathon (马拉松) One month before his first marathon, Allen suffered an ankle injury. The doctor advised him to rest for two weeks without any running or training. Despite this, Allen decided to continue with his plan. Allen recalled his first year in primary school when he was seven. In his first P.E. class, the teacher asked the students to run laps and then practice hitting a ball. Allen struggled with both activities. Later, someone told him he was “not athletic”—lacking natural ability in sports. This label stayed with him for many years. When he started running at the age of thirty, he gradually realized that a marathon was not just about competition or physical strength. He thought that ______________. The night before the marathon, Allen dreamed that he could not find the finish line. He woke up feeling nervous but determined to challenge himself. Shortly after the race began, Allen’s shoelaces (鞋带) became untied. He had to stop and tie them—not the perfect start he had hoped for! By the 3rd mile, he saw a sign :“GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!” At the 17th mile, he felt short of breath and his injured ankle began to hurt badly. Whenever he felt pain, he slowed down, walked for a while, and then started running again. As he approached the 25th mile—close to the finish line—he saw his wife holding a sign that said, “Keep going! I’m proud of you!” She had always been his strongest supporter. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 5 a.m. or questioned his money spent on running. Allen was one of the last to cross the finish line, but he did it. He received a medal—the same as the first-place winner’s. This experience taught Allen that perseverance matters more than performance. He had become a real winner in life. 1．Allen was injured a month before his first marathon, wasn’t he? . 2．What was Allen’s decision after he was injured? . 3．When did Allen know he was not good at sports? . 4．Who held a sign to support Allen as he approached the 25th mile? . 5．Why did Allen receive a medal in his first marathon? . 6．What can be filled in the blank in Paragraph 3? (No more than 15 words) . 【答案】1．Yes, he was. 2．He decided to continue with his plan. 3．When he was seven years old in his first P.E. class in primary school. 4．His wife. 5．Because he finished the marathon. 6．It was more about perseverance and challenging himself. (答案不唯一) 【导语】本文讲述了Allen第一次参加马拉松的经历。他在马拉松前一个月脚踝受伤，医生建议休息两周，但他仍决定继续原计划。他回忆起小学时曾被认为“不擅长运动”，但后来坚持跑步。马拉松过程中，他遇到鞋带松、脚踝疼痛等问题，在妻子的鼓励下最终完成比赛，获得奖牌，并领悟到坚持比表现更重要。 【详解】334．根据“One month before his first marathon, Allen suffered an ankle injury.”可知，Allen在首次马拉松前一个月脚踝受伤。故填Yes, he was. 1．根据“Despite this, Allen decided to continue with his plan.”可知，尽管受伤，Allen决定继续执行原计划。 故填He decided to continue with his plan. 2．根据“Allen recalled his first year in primary school when he was seven. In his first P.E. class, the teacher asked the students to run laps and then practice hitting a ball. Allen struggled with both activities. Later, someone told him he was “not athletic”—lacking natural ability in sports.”可知，Allen在7岁上小学一年级第一堂体育课时知道自己不擅长运动。故填When he was seven years old in his first P.E. class in primary school. 3．根据“As he approached the 25th mile—close to the finish line—he saw his wife holding a sign that said, ‘Keep going! I’m proud of you!’”可知，Allen的妻子举着牌子支持他。故填His wife. 4．根据“Allen was one of the last to cross the finish line, but he did it. He received a medal—the same as the first-place winner’s.”可知，Allen虽最后完赛，但坚持完成马拉松即可获得奖牌。故填Because he finished the marathon. 5．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为It was more about perseverance and challenging himself. Dear Miss Li, I’d like to thank you for sending money to “Animal Helpers”, an organization set up to help disabled people. You see, you have helped make it possible for me to have “Lucky”, who has filled my life with pleasure. Let me tell you my story. Being blind, deaf, unable to walk or use your hands easily is something that most people cannot imagine. But there are many people who face these challenges, and I am one of them. Because I can’t use my arms or legs well, normal things like answering the telephone, opening and shutting doors or carrying things have always been difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine said that she would like to help me out. She said she would talk to “Animal Helpers” to see if it would be possible for me to get a specially trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I told her that I love animals and that I’d love to have a dog. After six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”, I was able to bring him home. My dog’s name is “Lucky”—a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kind donation! How does Lucky help me, you might ask? Well, he has been trained to understand different instructions. For example, I say, “Lucky! Fetch my book,” and he does it at once. He is very clever and understands many English words, even some difficult ones like “upstairs”. Lucky is an amazing dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me one day. And so I thank you again for supporting “Animal Helpers”. It is very important that this organization does not run out of money. “Animal Helpers” is such an important organization. Your donation is greatly appreciated and the money is well used to help disabled people like me. Best wishes, Liz Smith 1．Lucky is a specially trained dog, isn’t he? 2．Why did Liz Smith write this letter? 3．What’s the aim of the organization “Animal Helpers”? 4．How does Lucky help Liz Smith? 5．What did Liz Smith have to do before bringing Lucky home? 6．Do you agree that “Animal Helpers” is such an important organization? Explain with at least two reasons? 【答案】1．Yes, he is. 2．To thank Miss Li for sending money to “Animal Helpers”. 3．To help disabled people. 4．He has been trained to understand different instructions (e.g., fetching books, understanding words like “upstairs”). 5．She had six months of training with Lucky at “Animal Helpers”. 6．Yes. First, it provides specially trained dogs to help disabled people with daily tasks. Second, it brings pleasure and convenience to disabled people’s lives. 【导语】本文主要介绍残疾人Liz致信感谢李小姐为“Animal Helpers”捐款，助自己获得辅助犬Lucky，同时说明该组织对残疾人的重要性。 【详解】340．根据“she would talk to ‘Animal Helpers’ to see if it would be possible for me to get a specially trained dog”及“My dog’s name is ‘Lucky’”可知，Lucky是经过特殊训练的狗，故填Yes, he is. 1．根据“I’d like to thank you for sending money to ‘Animal Helpers’”及结尾“so I thank you again for supporting ‘Animal Helpers’”可知，Liz写这封信是为了感谢李小姐给Animal Helpers捐款（帮助她获得了Lucky），故填To thank Miss Li for sending money to “Animal Helpers”. 2．根据“‘Animal Helpers’, an organization setup to help disabled people”可知，该组织的目的是帮助残疾人，故填To help disabled people. 3．根据“Well, he has been trained to understand different instructions. For example, I say, ‘Lucky! Fetch my book,’ and he does it at once. He is very clever and understands many English words, even some difficult ones like ‘upstairs’”可知，Lucky能理解不同指令（比如取书、听懂upstairs这类单词）来帮助Liz，故填He has been trained to understand different instructions (e.g., fetching books, understanding words like “upstairs”). 4．根据“After six months of training with a dog at ‘Animal Helpers’, I was able to bring him home”可知，Liz在把Lucky带回家前，在Animal Helpers和它一起训练了六个月，故填She had six months of training with Lucky at “Animal Helpers”. 5．结合文章内容，Animal Helpers很重要的原因有：第一，它为残疾人提供经过训练的狗，帮助他们完成日常任务；第二，它能给残疾人的生活带来快乐和便利。故填Yes. First, it provides specially trained dogs to help disabled people with daily tasks. Second, it brings pleasure and convenience to disabled people’s lives. Puppies for sale A sign at the edge of the yard read, “Puppies for Sale.” Signs like these have a way of attracting the attention of the children. A small boy, upon seeing the sign, came to the fence of the yard and began to talk to the owner. “Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.” “Well,” said the owner, “these puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money.” The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the owner. “I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?” “Sure,” said the owner. And with that he let out a whistle, “Here, Dolly!” he called. Out from the doghouse ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared; this one noticeably smaller. In a somewhat awkward manner the little pup began hobbling (蹒跚) toward the others, doing its best to catch up. “I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing to the last one. The owner knelt down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. The vet says something is wrong with his hip socket (髋关节). He will never be able to run and play with you as these other dogs would.” The little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and lifted one side of his trousers. In doing so he revealed his crippled (残疾的) leg supported on a big metal brace. Looking back up at the owner, he said, “You see, sir, ________, and he will need someone who understands.” The world is full of people who need someone who understands. 1．Did the sign attract the attention of children? 2．What did the boy want to do? 3．How many puppies were there in the doghouse except Dolly? 4．Why did the owner try to stop the boy buying the last puppy? 5．What can be filled in the blank? 6．What can we learn from the story? 【答案】1．Yes, it did. 2．He wanted to buy a puppy. 3．Five./4. 5．Because the puppy he chose was disabled. 6．I don’t run too well myself. 7．We should understand each other and accept things and people who are not perfect. 【导语】本文通过一个小男孩和一只残疾小狗的互动，传达了理解和同情的重要性。小男孩自己也有残疾，因此他能够理解并同情那只行动不便的小狗。 【详解】346．根据“A sign at the edge of the yard read, ‘Puppies for Sale.’ Signs like these have a way of attracting the attention of the children.”可知，这个标志有吸引孩子们注意的方式，所以标志吸引了孩子们的注意。故填Yes, it did. 1．根据“‘Mister,’ he said, ‘I want to buy one of your puppies.’”可知，小男孩想要买一只小狗。故填He wanted to buy a puppy. 2．根据“Out from the doghouse ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur.”和“Slowly another little ball appeared”可知，除了Dolly之外，狗窝里有四只小狗，后来又出现一只，所以一共有五只小狗。故填Five./5. 3．根据“Son, you don’t want that puppy. The vet says something is wrong with his hip socket (髋关节). He will never be able to run and play with you as these other dogs would.”可知，主人试图阻止男孩买最后一只小狗是因为兽医说这只小狗的髋关节有问题，它不能像其他小狗一样和男孩跑和玩耍。故填Because the puppy he chose was disabled. 4．根据前文小男孩抬起裤腿露出残疾的腿可知，此处小男孩想说自己也有残疾，和小狗情况一样。故填I don’t run too well myself. 5．根据“The world is full of people who need someone who understands.”和整个故事可知，这个世界上有很多人需要理解，我们应该对那些和我们一样有缺陷的人多一些理解并且接受他们。故填We should understand each other and accept things and people who are not perfect. Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题) Taking Pictures or Taking Notes? In a class last December, I wrote some directions on the blackboard for students about their final examination. One young girl quickly took a picture of the board using her smartphone. When I looked in her direction, she apologized, “Sorry. Was it wrong to take a picture?” “I can’t read my own handwriting,” she explained. “It’s best if I take a picture of your writing so I can understand the notes.” Those words started a heated discussion about taking a picture instead of taking notes. Some took pictures of notes because they knew their phones were a safe place to store material. They might lose paper, they thought, but they wouldn’t lose their phones. Some took photos because they wanted to record exactly what had been written on the blackboard. Others told me that during class, they would like to listen to the discussion attentively. Taking notes would distract them from important information. It may be convenient to use cameras as note takers. Yet it does raise some questions about the classroom. Is a picture as effective a replacement for the process of note-taking? Teachers encourage students to take notes because the act of doing so not only records necessary information but also helps prepare the way of understanding. Encouraging students to take notes seems to be an old-fashioned teaching method. But a method with a long history doesn’t mean it’s out of date. Writing things down makes a student’s brain take an active part in class, according to a study. The act of writing down information enables a person to begin keeping it in mind, and to process and combine it. Taking a picture does record the information. However, it deletes some of the necessary mental involvement that note-taking is rich in. So can the two be equally effective? 1．How would the young girl mentioned at the beginning of the passage review the writer’s writing after class? 2．Some people thought that their phones were a dangerous place to store material, didn’t they? 3．Why do teachers encourage students to take notes? 4．According to the study, what are the benefits of writing information down? 5．What is the act of taking notes by hand rich in, according to Paragraph 6? 6．If you are allowed to use your mobile phone to take pictures of your teachers’ notes, will you take pictures of notes or will you still take notes by hand? Why? (Give at least two reasons) 【答案】1．She would review the writer’s writing by looking at the picture she took with her smartphone. 2．No, they didn’t. 3．Because note-taking not only records necessary information but also helps prepare the way of understanding. 4．It makes a student’s brain take an active part in class, enables a person to begin keeping the information in mind, and to process and combine it. 5．Necessary mental involvement. 6．I will still take notes by hand. Firstly, writing things down helps me remember and understand the information better because my brain is actively involved. Secondly, taking notes by hand allows me to process and combine the information during class, which is important for learning. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了在课堂上拍照代替记笔记的现象及其影响。文章通过一个学生的例子引出话题，探讨了拍照记笔记的便利性以及传统手写笔记对学习的积极作用。 1．根据“‘I can’t read my own handwriting,’ she explained. ‘It’s best if I take a picture of your writing so I can understand the notes.’”可知，女孩因为看不清自己的笔记，所以拍照记录黑板上的内容以便课后复习。故填She would review the writer’s writing by looking at the picture she took with her smartphone. 2．根据“Some took pictures of notes because they knew their phones were a safe place to store material.”可知，学生认为手机是存储材料的安全地方，而非危险地方。故填No, they didn’t. 3．根据“Teachers encourage students to take notes because the act of doing so not only records necessary information but also helps prepare the way of understanding.”可知，老师鼓励记笔记是因为它能记录信息并促进理解。故填Because note-taking not only records necessary information but also helps prepare the way of understanding. 4．根据“Writing things down makes a student’s brain take an active part in class… The act of writing down information enables a person to begin keeping it in mind, and to process and combine it.”可知，手写笔记能让学生的大脑在课堂上积极参与，使人开始记住信息，并处理和整合信息。故填It makes a student’s brain take an active part in class, enables a person to begin keeping the information in mind, and to process and combine it. 5．根据“However, it deletes some of the necessary mental involvement that note-taking is rich in.”可知，手写笔记富含必要的思维参与。故填Necessary mental involvement. 6．开放性试题，答案不唯一，言之有理即可。参考答案为I will still take notes by hand. Firstly, writing things down helps me remember and understand the information better because my brain is actively involved. Secondly, taking notes by hand allows me to process and combine the information during class, which is important for learning. Each day after school when other boys play soccer or ride bikes, Theo goes to the art museum. Everyone he knows thinks this is strange, even his own family. He has no friends at school. The paintings in the museum are Theo’s friends. Today, Theo rushes to the museum after school because a new exhibition is opening—The Mountain Landscapes of Zayan Khan. Each painting in the exhibition shows a different mountain. Theo sits on a bench and looks at one painting. He likes the heavy black lines of the mountain and the pale blue sky, so he takes out his notebook and begins to draw. People come and go from the small gallery, but Theo sits for a long time. After a while, there is only one other man left in the gallery. Later, the man stands up and seems to leave, but he stops next to Theo. Theo’s painting shows a mountain from very far away with a lot of space around it. “That’s an interesting way of looking at things,” the man comments. Theo is shocked. He never shows his artwork to anyone because he worries that it isn’t good. “I like your lines and shadows,” the man adds. “I like to do that, too.” Theo notices the man’s hands are dirty with paint. In his jacket pocket, there are several colored pencils and a paintbrush. He is holding an old notebook with his name on the front. “You are Zayan Khan!” Theo cries out. He can’t believe he is talking to the famous artist. “That’s right,” Zayan Khan replies. “I’m Theo. One day, I want to be an artist like you,” Theo tells him. Zayan Khan shakes his head. He points to Theo’s notebook. “_________,” he says. Theo is speechless with happiness. He does not say anything else, and neither does Zayan Khan. They just sit quietly in the room, drawing together with friends. 1．What does Theo do every day after school? 2．Why does Theo take out his notebook and begin to draw? 3．What does Theo show in his painting? 4．How does Theo know the man is the famous artist, Zayan Khan? Give two clues (线索) from the story. 5．What does Zayan probably say to Theo? Fill in the blank with one sentence. 6．After this meeting, do you think Theo will show his drawings to his schoolmates? Why or why not? 【答案】1．He goes to the art museum every day after school. 2．Because he likes the heavy black lines of the mountain and the pale blue sky in the painting. 3．He shows a mountain from very far away with a lot of space around it. 4．①The man’s hands are dirty with paint, and he has colored pencils and a paintbrush in his pocket. ②He is holding an old notebook with Zayan Khan’s name on the front. 5．I think you are already an artist, Theo 6．Yes, I think he will. Because Zayan Khan’s praise gives him confidence, and he will no longer worry that his drawings aren’t good. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Theo遇到偶像Zayan Khan，受到对方的鼓励，二人共同画画的故事。 1．根据第1段中的“Each day after school when other boys play soccer or ride bikes, Theo goes to the art museum.”可知，他每天放学后去美术博物馆。 2．根据第2段中的“He likes the heavy black lines of the mountain and the pale blue sky, so he takes out his notebook and begins to draw.”可知，因为他喜欢山上厚重的黑线和淡蓝色的天空。 3．根据第3段中的“Theo’s painting shows a mountain from very far away with a lot of space around it.”可知，他从很远的地方展示了一座周围有很多空间的山。 4．根据第7段中的“Theo notices the man’s hands are dirty with paint. In his jacket pocket, there are several colored pencils and a paintbrush. He is holding an old notebook with his name on the front.”可知，Theo注意到那人的手被颜料弄脏了。在他的夹克口袋里，有几支彩色铅笔和一把画笔。他拿着一本正面有他名字的旧笔记本。 5．根据第10段“‘I’m Theo. One day, I want to be an artist like you,’ Theo tells him.”和最后1段中的“Theo is speechless with happiness…They just sit quietly in the room, drawing together with friends.”可知，前文Zayan摇头回应，说明他不认可Theo说的“有一天，我想成为像你一样的艺术家。”这句话，而是他认为Theo现在就已经是一名艺术家了，因此，此处用“I think you are already an artist, Theo”符合语境。承接后文Theo听到Zayan的话后高兴的说不出话来。此处答案不唯一，合理即可。 6．这是开放性问题，可从两个角度作答：一方面，会。因为得到了著名画家的认可，他变得自信了。另一方面，不会。他原本就害羞，只是享受画画本身，不需要向同学展示。答案不唯一，合理即可。 The Qingming Scroll (清明上河图), painted by Zhang Zeduan (张择端) in the Northern Song dynasty, is a world-famous Chinese artwork. Painted on a 5-metre-long silk scroll, it shows life in Bianjing (today’s Kaifeng), the capital of the Northern Song dynasty in the 12th century. Now it is kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing; this scroll has survived through time and become a national treasure. The scroll has three main parts. The first part shows a quiet rural scene near Bianjing, with farmers working in the fields. The second part presents the busy Bian River and the central bridge, where boats come and go, and people walk through the city gate. The third part describes the lively city life, with people from all walks of life—butchers, hairdressers, officials—doing their daily work. Together, these parts let us see the real life of Bianjing’s people. Zhang used ink on silk to create realistic scenery, buildings and people. His precise brushwork and great skill in showing details make the scroll amazing. You can study it for hours and always find new things. The painting also reveals 12th-century Chinese customs, clothing and business practices. While it looks peaceful at first, some details show social and political problems and reflect the decline of the Northern Song dynasty. Today, the original scroll is very delicate and seldom shown to the public. But people’s love for it never fades. It not only shows high artistic value but also helps us understand ancient Chinese life, making it a lasting gift to Chinese art and future artists. 1．How many main parts does the Qingming Scroll have? 2．Where is the Qingming Scroll now? 3．What does the whole Qingming Scroll show us? 4．Why does the scroll look amazing? 5．People’s love for the Qingming Scroll never fades, does it? 6．Besides visiting the Palace Museum, what else can you do to know more about the Qingming Scroll? Please list TWO ways. 【答案】1．Three 2．The Palace Museum in Beijing 3．The real life of Bianjing’s people in the 12th century 4．Zhang’s precise brushwork and great skill in showing details 5． No, it doesn’t. 6．We can read books or articles about the painting and watch documentaries or videos about the Qingming Scroll. 【导语】本文围绕北宋画家张择端的《清明上河图》展开，介绍了这幅画作的基本信息、内容结构、艺术价值与历史意义，展现了它作为国宝的艺术与文化魅力。 1．由文中第二段“The scroll has three main parts.”可知，《清明上河图》有三个主要部分。 2．由文中第二段“Now It is kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing, this scroll has survived through time and become a national treasure.” 可知，《清明上河图》现在被保存在北京故宫博物院。 3．由文中“Together, these parts let us see the real life of Bianjing’s people.”以及“The painting also reveals 12th century Chinese customs, clothing and business practices.”可知，整幅《清明上河图》向我们展示了 12 世纪北宋都城汴京（今开封）人们的真实生活，包括当时的风俗、服饰和商业活动，也反映了北宋王朝的衰落。 4．由文中“His precise brushwork and great skill in showing details make the scroll amazing.” 可知，张择端精湛的笔法和展现细节的高超技艺让这幅画卷令人惊叹。 5．由文中“But people’s love for it never fades.” 可知，人们对《清明上河图》的热爱从未消退。 6．除了参观故宫博物院，还可以通过以下两种方式了解更多关于《清明上河图》的信息：We can read books or articles about the painting and watch documentaries or videos about the Qingming Scroll. Seba Stephens is only 10 years old, but he’s a very talented musician. He plays the drums, bass, guitar, and piano. Seba grew up with music all around. Before he turned three, his parents asked him what he wanted for his birthday. “Drums!” he answered. His parents weren’t sure, but after seeing him play the drums at a local music store, they decided he was serious. They bought him a junior drum kit (小型架子鼓). “He didn’t stop playing—ever,” says his dad. But two months later, Seba grew upset. He couldn’t make the sounds he wanted with his junior drum kit. His parents bought him a professional drum kit and signed him up for lessons. In just a few months, his drum teacher reported that Seba was learning extremely quickly and needed a higher level of training. He was still four. Seba started a band in kindergarten. In the first grade, he began earning money by playing music. In 2020, Seba joined a summer music program at Berklee College of Music (伯克利音乐学院) as an 8-year-old boy. He studied bass in an online program. To keep up, he had to practice up to 36 hours a week. After the busy summer, Seba made a decision to be home-schooled (to be educated at home instead of being sent to school) by his parents so that he could keep going to Berklee during the school year. He did schoolwork in the mornings. In the afternoons, he worked on music. And at night, he usually worked on music some more. In May, 2021, Seba became the youngest person ever to receive a professional certificate from Berklee. The certificate is equal to about four college-level classes. When he’s old enough, Seba hopes to go to college at Berklee. For now, he’s still practicing and playing. Task 1: 1．Seba is a talented musician, isn’t he? 2．What made Seba’s parents be sure to buy him a drum kit? 3．Why did Seba grow upset two months after he received his present? 4．How old was Seba when he joined a summer music program at Berklee College of Music? 5．Why did Seba decide to be home-schooled after the summer online program? Task 2: 6．What do you think leads to Seba’s success in music?

When I woke up, the storm was over. I found myself lying on a strange island. The sun was shining brightly, and the waves were gently beating against the shore. There was nothing but sand, rocks and thick forest as far as I could see. My ship had been broken into pieces during the storm, and all the sailors had disappeared. I was completely alone, with no one to turn to for help. At first I felt hopeless and afraid. I had no food, no clean water and no tools. I did not know where I was or how long I might survive in this wild place. But soon I realized that crying and worrying were completely useless. I walked along the shore and saw our ship’s wreckage (残骸) nearby, and went over and climbed on board. I managed to take several useful things from it: some bread, rice, guns, bullets, daily tools, and even a few coins. I made a small raft to carry them to the shore, after which I built a simple tent near a hill and lit a fire for warmth and safety. Sitting by the fire, I promised myself I would never give up. In the following days, I worked hard to survive on the island. I found safe wild fruits to eat, made a fishing net to catch fish for food, and made simple wooden tools such as an axe and a shovel. Every afternoon, I collected dry wood to keep a fire burning day and night, because the fire could scare away dangerous animals. Every night, I wrote down my experiences in my journal to encourage myself and stay brave. Slowly, the island no longer seemed so terrible. I told myself again and again: I must keep going. I finally learned that __________________. 1．What happened to Robinson Crusoe’s ship when he set sail? 2．Why did Robinson feel hopeless and afraid at first on the island? 3．From the underlined part, what can we tell about Robinson Crusoe’s character? 4．How did Robinson make a living and protect himself on the island? (Within 25 words) 5．Please complete the last sentence of the story. 6．If you were Robinson, what would you do first to improve your life on the island? Why? 根据对话内容回答下列问题。 The match was nearly over and I was almost on my last legs, when I saw a chance. I picked the ball up from Sally. “Jess!” I heard Jules shouting as she ran alongside me. “Pass!” I glanced up and hit the ball forward into space. Jules picked it up and hit the ball into the net. It was just as good as Beckham’s last-minute goal against Greece. Jules ran into me and I jumped on her, followed by the rest of the team. We were all screaming with joy. The referee (裁判) had to hurry us back to the centre circle, but one minute later he blew the whistle for full-time. A draw (平局). “Penalties (点球大战),” Jules said, with a wide smile on her face. Although it wasn’t usual to finish a friendly with penalties, both sides had decided that it would be a nice idea. Now, with my legs shaking, I wasn’t so sure. Our coach, Joe, came on to cheer us up. Maybe he wouldn’t choose me. “OK, Jules, you go first,” Joe said. “Then Mel, Tina, Hannah and—” he turned to me “—Jess.” I tried not to look relieved that I was last. With any luck I wouldn’t have to take my turn, if the match was decided before that. The Germans went first and scored. So did Jules, with a powerful shot. The Germans scored again. So did Mel. After a third German goal, Tina looked nervous, but she was lucky because her shot went in off the post (球门柱). My stomach was turning over and over as Hannah stepped up to take our fourth penalty. The Germans hadn’t missed one yet. If Hannah scored, “it” would be all down to the last German penalty-taker—and me. Hannah sent the goalkeeper the wrong way and rolled the ball smoothly into the net. I tried to take deep breaths to calm myself down. If the next German player scored, I’d have to take my turn. I closed my eyes, hoping she would fail. A loud cheer went up around the stadium. Then the referee called me over, and with heavy steps, I walked over to place the ball on the spot. Behind me, I heard the girls yelling encouragement. “Come on, Jess! You can do this.” I made a superhuman effort and ran towards the ball. ________ 1．Who scored the goal and who provided the assist near the end of the match? 2．Why did the referee hurry them back to the centre circle? 3．How did the two teams perform in the first four rounds of penalties? 4．What does “it” refer to in the sentence “If Hannah scored, it would be all down to the last German penalty-taker—and me.”? 5．What can we infer from the sentence A loud cheer went up around the stadium? 6．The story stops at: “I made a superhuman effort and ran towards the ball.” Imagine what happens next and write an ending including her feeling and the result. (no more than 30 words) Have you ever wished you could turn back time and do something differently? Maybe you’ve said something hurtful or failed a test. Everyone makes mistakes; the important thing is not to panic. Remember that messing up from time to time is part of being human. Mistakes are important When you mess something up, it’s easy to feel depressed about yourself. However, mistakes give your brain an opportunity to adjust what it’s doing and learn, so you get things right in the future. In fact, they are such an important part of being human that your body often knows that you have made them before you do. Scientists say when you make a mistake, like falling off a bike, your brain creates electrical activity. This sends a signal to the rest of your brain before you even hit the ground. Studies show these signals teach you to be more careful next time. How can they help? Making mistakes teaches you resilience, which means being able to bounce back (恢复) from disappointments or challenges. England footballer Lauren Hemp, who won the women’s Euros with the Lionesses this summer, says sometimes the team makes“mistake after mistake” in matches, but this just makes them more determined to play better. “Even when things aren’t going our way, we can still try to turn it around,” she says. What seems like a disaster at the time can sometimes be funny afterwards, so next time if you say the wrong thing in class, you could ____________. Face up to failures The best way to learn from your mistakes is to face up to them, says Professor Pragya Agarwal. Try to feel comfortable when things go wrong. It might feel like a strange way to deal with failure, but it’s “a more positive way forward”, she explains. This is because you often feel embarrassed by your mistakes, so you try to hide them from others, which makes you more likely to repeat them. When you’ re not being hard on yourself, it’s easier to learn and this helps you do things differently next time, Agarwal says. 1．Do mistakes help the brain adjust and help people do things right later? 2．What happens in the brain when people make a mistake according to scientists? 3．Why does the writer mention England footballer Lauren Hemp in the passage? 4．What can be filled in this blank? 5．What does the underlined part“a more positive way” refer to? 6．Please tell us a mistake you once made and what you learned from it (in about 30 words). In a small village in Yunnan, there lives a young man named Li Wei. He was once a migrant worker in a big city, but he decided to return to his hometown two years ago. His goal was to use the Internet to help villagers sell their oranges. At first, many villagers didn’t believe in him. They thought no one would buy fruits online. Li Wei didn’t give up. He learned how to film and edit short videos. He showed the beautiful orange orchards and the process of picking fresh oranges. He also told stories about the hardworking villagers. His videos became very popular on social media. Soon, orders started pouring in from all over China. The villagers were amazed. In the first year, they sold three times as many oranges as before. Now, Li Wei has taught many young villagers how to livestream. Their village has become famous as “Orange Livestreaming Village”. Li Wei’s success shows that with creativity and technology, young people can make a big difference in their hometowns. 1．Did Li Wei return to his hometown as a migrant worker? 2．What did Li Wei use to help villagers sell oranges? 3．How did Li Wei show the orange orchards in his videos? 4．How many oranges did the villagers sell in the first year compared to before? 5．Why did the villagers change their minds about selling fruits online? 6．Do you think young people should return to their hometowns to work? Why or why not? 根据短文内容回答问题 Taking part in a “citizen science” project, and you’ll work with other people and do small but meaningful things to protect our planet. ◆ What is citizen science?

Monday, 1 September     Rainy Dear diary, This morning, when I looked in the mirror, I didn’t feel like myself at all. Today was my first day wearing the eye patch (眼罩). Mum told me it would help my injured eye, but that didn’t comfort me. I couldn’t help thinking about the boys on the playground—would they point and laugh at me? On the bus, I kept close to the window and watched the rain run down the glass. At school, when my classmates saw me, they came to ask me what happened to my eye. I knew they didn’t want to hurt me—they just wanted to show care and kindness, but a little sadness and worry still came over me. What a day!Tuesday, 2 September     Cloudy Dear diary, Today didn’t start any better. But we had a special class. Our class teacher held up a piece of white paper with a small black dot, “What do you see first?” “The black dot!” we said. She smiled, “Life is like this. We often notice the black dots, but don’t forget the white paper. Why not turn the dot into something nice?” Then she asked us to draw with the black dot. This class touched me. After class, I took out a pencil and drew a shark on my patch. Back in the classroom, kids crowded around me and showed great interest in my design. “Nice painting!” someone cried out and was amazed by my talent for drawing. This made me a little lighter and helped me regain confidence. Wednesday, 3 September     Sunny Dear diary, Everything moved in a positive direction today. I joked to my classmates that my shark would protect me from anyone who made fun of me. Everyone laughed after hearing it. A few kids even asked me to draw animals for them. Hearing the word “cool” warmed my heart. Before I knew it, the day was over. How I wish it could be a little more! Till now, this patch isn’t just a drawing anymore. It reminds me that ________. 1．Did the author wear his eye patch for fun? 2．What did the author’s classmates do when they saw him at first? 3．Where did the author draw a shark after class? 4．On which day did the author make a joke to his classmates? 5．Based on the three diaries, how did the author’s feelings change? 6．What does this special patch remind the author? Fill in the blank. Cole loved helping in his mother’s garden since he was a child. But after he finished school, he worked as a salesman in a shopping center for thirty years. “Everything changed in 2016,” Cole said. That year, Cole’s mum, a flower-lover, moved in with him and his wife. She was shocked by so much litter on the street. “Why are there so many rubbish bags and empty bottles on this street?” she asked. She pointed at the dry tree pits (坑) outside their house and said, “Let’s plant some roses from our old garden here!” Mum and Cole began to work. They moved young rose plants into six tree pits. Guess what? The plants grew really well! To their surprise, there was no more litter around. “That was great! I realized that I could change something, rather than just sitting at home,” said Cole. In the following year, Cole created different gardens in six tree pits along the street. People up and down the street stopped to ask, “Who planted these flowers? They’re so beautiful!” and strangers turned into friends. Kids offered to water the plants. The next spring, the city used the strong grass killer on the whole street to kill wild grass. Days later, all the plants turned brown. Cole stood in front of the dead flowers, heartbroken. Then Aunt Mary from next door walked over with some seeds. “I have some flower seeds. Let’s start again!” The news spread. Tom brought young rose plants. Lisa brought sunflower seeds. Even Mr. Smith, the serious banker, gave strawberry vines from his garden. Soon, fifteen tree pits were full of colourful plants. A group of neighbours helped look after them. The experience led Cole to begin his “City Garden Project”. The project has turned over twenty parking lot corners into wildflower beds. Whenever he sees kids watching bees in the flower beds, he remembers his mum’s words: “No big heroes are needed to change the world.” 1．Why did Cole’s mum suggest planting roses? 2．Did the flowers Cole had planted die after the city used the grass killer? 3．What experience led Cole to start his “City Garden Project”? 4．What does “No big heroes are needed to change the world.” mean in the story? 5．How did Cole’s mum influence his “City Garden Project”? (2 points) 6．If you were Cole, what would be your ways to protect the plants from the city’s grass killer? “You have saved my horse,” Queen Olivia told the young boy standing before her. “Now you shall have a reward.” Peter nervously ran his fingers through his brown hair. The frightened horse ran past him as he was working in the field that morning. He would have helped it whether it belonged to the queen or not. But he had to admit that getting a reward (奖励) was nice. Two of the queen’s men appeared. One carried a mirror. Red jewels shone on top of the mirror’s silver frame. The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it. “Only one reward can be yours,” the queen said. “Choose wisely.” “That’s easy,” Peter said. “I’ll take the chicken.” Some of the queen’s men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice. “And why did you choose the chicken?” the queen asked. “Well, I don’t know much about jewels,” Peter answered. “But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.” Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may look fancy. But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” Peter took the chicken and bowed. “Thank you, your majesty.” “You are a smart child,” the queen added. “I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?” Peter smiled. “Thank you very much!” he said excitedly. A job at the castle paid well. Now his family would eat well for the rest of their lives—all because________! 1．What was Peter doing when a frightened horse ran past him? 2．Who did the frightened horse belong to? 3．Why did Peter choose the chicken instead of the mirror? 4．Did Peter make a wise choice or a foolish one? 5．What else did Queen Olivia offer Peter? 6．What can be filled in the blank at the end of the passage? Allen’s First Marathon (马拉松) One month before his first marathon, Allen suffered an ankle injury. The doctor advised him to rest for two weeks without any running or training. Despite this, Allen decided to continue with his plan. Allen recalled his first year in primary school when he was seven. In his first P.E. class, the teacher asked the students to run laps and then practice hitting a ball. Allen struggled with both activities. Later, someone told him he was “not athletic”—lacking natural ability in sports. This label stayed with him for many years. When he started running at the age of thirty, he gradually realized that a marathon was not just about competition or physical strength. He thought that ______________. The night before the marathon, Allen dreamed that he could not find the finish line. He woke up feeling nervous but determined to challenge himself. Shortly after the race began, Allen’s shoelaces (鞋带) became untied. He had to stop and tie them—not the perfect start he had hoped for! By the 3rd mile, he saw a sign :“GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!” At the 17th mile, he felt short of breath and his injured ankle began to hurt badly. Whenever he felt pain, he slowed down, walked for a while, and then started running again. As he approached the 25th mile—close to the finish line—he saw his wife holding a sign that said, “Keep going! I’m proud of you!” She had always been his strongest supporter. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 5 a.m. or questioned his money spent on running. Allen was one of the last to cross the finish line, but he did it. He received a medal—the same as the first-place winner’s. This experience taught Allen that perseverance matters more than performance. He had become a real winner in life. 1．Allen was injured a month before his first marathon, wasn’t he? . 2．What was Allen’s decision after he was injured? . 3．When did Allen know he was not good at sports? . 4．Who held a sign to support Allen as he approached the 25th mile? . 5．Why did Allen receive a medal in his first marathon? . 6．What can be filled in the blank in Paragraph 3? (No more than 15 words) . Dear Miss Li, I’d like to thank you for sending money to “Animal Helpers”, an organization set up to help disabled people. You see, you have helped make it possible for me to have “Lucky”, who has filled my life with pleasure. Let me tell you my story. Being blind, deaf, unable to walk or use your hands easily is something that most people cannot imagine. But there are many people who face these challenges, and I am one of them. Because I can’t use my arms or legs well, normal things like answering the telephone, opening and shutting doors or carrying things have always been difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine said that she would like to help me out. She said she would talk to “Animal Helpers” to see if it would be possible for me to get a specially trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I told her that I love animals and that I’d love to have a dog. After six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”, I was able to bring him home. My dog’s name is “Lucky”—a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kind donation! How does Lucky help me, you might ask? Well, he has been trained to understand different instructions. For example, I say, “Lucky! Fetch my book,” and he does it at once. He is very clever and understands many English words, even some difficult ones like “upstairs”. Lucky is an amazing dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me one day. And so I thank you again for supporting “Animal Helpers”. It is very important that this organization does not run out of money. “Animal Helpers” is such an important organization. Your donation is greatly appreciated and the money is well used to help disabled people like me. Best wishes, Liz Smith 1．Lucky is a specially trained dog, isn’t he? 2．Why did Liz Smith write this letter? 3．What’s the aim of the organization “Animal Helpers”? 4．How does Lucky help Liz Smith? 5．What did Liz Smith have to do before bringing Lucky home? 6．Do you agree that “Animal Helpers” is such an important organization? Explain with at least two reasons? Puppies for sale A sign at the edge of the yard read, “Puppies for Sale.” Signs like these have a way of attracting the attention of the children. A small boy, upon seeing the sign, came to the fence of the yard and began to talk to the owner. “Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.” “Well,” said the owner, “these puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money.” The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the owner. “I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?” “Sure,” said the owner. And with that he let out a whistle, “Here, Dolly!” he called. Out from the doghouse ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared; this one noticeably smaller. In a somewhat awkward manner the little pup began hobbling (蹒跚) toward the others, doing its best to catch up. “I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing to the last one. The owner knelt down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. The vet says something is wrong with his hip socket (髋关节). He will never be able to run and play with you as these other dogs would.” The little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and lifted one side of his trousers. In doing so he revealed his crippled (残疾的) leg supported on a big metal brace. Looking back up at the owner, he said, “You see, sir, ________, and he will need someone who understands.” The world is full of people who need someone who understands. 1．Did the sign attract the attention of children? 2．What did the boy want to do? 3．How many puppies were there in the doghouse except Dolly? 4．Why did the owner try to stop the boy buying the last puppy? 5．What can be filled in the blank? 6．What can we learn from the story? Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题) Taking Pictures or Taking Notes? In a class last December, I wrote some directions on the blackboard for students about their final examination. One young girl quickly took a picture of the board using her smartphone. When I looked in her direction, she apologized, “Sorry. Was it wrong to take a picture?” “I can’t read my own handwriting,” she explained. “It’s best if I take a picture of your writing so I can understand the notes.” Those words started a heated discussion about taking a picture instead of taking notes. Some took pictures of notes because they knew their phones were a safe place to store material. They might lose paper, they thought, but they wouldn’t lose their phones. Some took photos because they wanted to record exactly what had been written on the blackboard. Others told me that during class, they would like to listen to the discussion attentively. Taking notes would distract them from important information. It may be convenient to use cameras as note takers. Yet it does raise some questions about the classroom. Is a picture as effective a replacement for the process of note-taking? Teachers encourage students to take notes because the act of doing so not only records necessary information but also helps prepare the way of understanding. Encouraging students to take notes seems to be an old-fashioned teaching method. But a method with a long history doesn’t mean it’s out of date. Writing things down makes a student’s brain take an active part in class, according to a study. The act of writing down information enables a person to begin keeping it in mind, and to process and combine it. Taking a picture does record the information. However, it deletes some of the necessary mental involvement that note-taking is rich in. So can the two be equally effective? 1．How would the young girl mentioned at the beginning of the passage review the writer’s writing after class? 2．Some people thought that their phones were a dangerous place to store material, didn’t they? 3．Why do teachers encourage students to take notes? 4．According to the study, what are the benefits of writing information down? 5．What is the act of taking notes by hand rich in, according to Paragraph 6? 6．If you are allowed to use your mobile phone to take pictures of your teachers’ notes, will you take pictures of notes or will you still take notes by hand? Why? (Give at least two reasons) Each day after school when other boys play soccer or ride bikes, Theo goes to the art museum. Everyone he knows thinks this is strange, even his own family. He has no friends at school. The paintings in the museum are Theo’s friends. Today, Theo rushes to the museum after school because a new exhibition is opening—The Mountain Landscapes of Zayan Khan. Each painting in the exhibition shows a different mountain. Theo sits on a bench and looks at one painting. He likes the heavy black lines of the mountain and the pale blue sky, so he takes out his notebook and begins to draw. People come and go from the small gallery, but Theo sits for a long time. After a while, there is only one other man left in the gallery. Later, the man stands up and seems to leave, but he stops next to Theo. Theo’s painting shows a mountain from very far away with a lot of space around it. “That’s an interesting way of looking at things,” the man comments. Theo is shocked. He never shows his artwork to anyone because he worries that it isn’t good. “I like your lines and shadows,” the man adds. “I like to do that, too.” Theo notices the man’s hands are dirty with paint. In his jacket pocket, there are several colored pencils and a paintbrush. He is holding an old notebook with his name on the front. “You are Zayan Khan!” Theo cries out. He can’t believe he is talking to the famous artist. “That’s right,” Zayan Khan replies. “I’m Theo. One day, I want to be an artist like you,” Theo tells him. Zayan Khan shakes his head. He points to Theo’s notebook. “_________,” he says. Theo is speechless with happiness. He does not say anything else, and neither does Zayan Khan. They just sit quietly in the room, drawing together with friends. 1．What does Theo do every day after school? 2．Why does Theo take out his notebook and begin to draw? 3．What does Theo show in his painting? 4．How does Theo know the man is the famous artist, Zayan Khan? Give two clues (线索) from the story. 5．What does Zayan probably say to Theo? Fill in the blank with one sentence. 6．After this meeting, do you think Theo will show his drawings to his schoolmates? Why or why not? The Qingming Scroll (清明上河图), painted by Zhang Zeduan (张择端) in the Northern Song dynasty, is a world-famous Chinese artwork. Painted on a 5-metre-long silk scroll, it shows life in Bianjing (today’s Kaifeng), the capital of the Northern Song dynasty in the 12th century. Now it is kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing; this scroll has survived through time and become a national treasure. The scroll has three main parts. The first part shows a quiet rural scene near Bianjing, with farmers working in the fields. The second part presents the busy Bian River and the central bridge, where boats come and go, and people walk through the city gate. The third part describes the lively city life, with people from all walks of life—butchers, hairdressers, officials—doing their daily work. Together, these parts let us see the real life of Bianjing’s people. Zhang used ink on silk to create realistic scenery, buildings and people. His precise brushwork and great skill in showing details make the scroll amazing. You can study it for hours and always find new things. The painting also reveals 12th-century Chinese customs, clothing and business practices. While it looks peaceful at first, some details show social and political problems and reflect the decline of the Northern Song dynasty. Today, the original scroll is very delicate and seldom shown to the public. But people’s love for it never fades. It not only shows high artistic value but also helps us understand ancient Chinese life, making it a lasting gift to Chinese art and future artists. 1．How many main parts does the Qingming Scroll have? 2．Where is the Qingming Scroll now? 3．What does the whole Qingming Scroll show us? 4．Why does the scroll look amazing? 5．People’s love for the Qingming Scroll never fades, does it? 6．Besides visiting the Palace Museum, what else can you do to know more about the Qingming Scroll? Please list TWO ways. Seba Stephens is only 10 years old, but he’s a very talented musician. He plays the drums, bass, guitar, and piano. Seba grew up with music all around. Before he turned three, his parents asked him what he wanted for his birthday. “Drums!” he answered. His parents weren’t sure, but after seeing him play the drums at a local music store, they decided he was serious. They bought him a junior drum kit (小型架子鼓). “He didn’t stop playing—ever,” says his dad. But two months later, Seba grew upset. He couldn’t make the sounds he wanted with his junior drum kit. His parents bought him a professional drum kit and signed him up for lessons. In just a few months, his drum teacher reported that Seba was learning extremely quickly and needed a higher level of training. He was still four. Seba started a band in kindergarten. In the first grade, he began earning money by playing music. In 2020, Seba joined a summer music program at Berklee College of Music (伯克利音乐学院) as an 8-year-old boy. He studied bass in an online program. To keep up, he had to practice up to 36 hours a week. After the busy summer, Seba made a decision to be home-schooled (to be educated at home instead of being sent to school) by his parents so that he could keep going to Berklee during the school year. He did schoolwork in the mornings. In the afternoons, he worked on music. And at night, he usually worked on music some more.
