专题05 阅读表达 主题01 方法/策略 Passage 1 （24-25七年级下·北京门头沟·期末）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Happiness is something that everyone wants to have. But how can we find happiness? First, be healthy. Taking exercise every day is a good way to be healthy. When we are healthy, we can have a good mood (心情) and enjoy life. We can do sports like running, swimming or playing basketball. Second, do what you like. If you like reading, read as much as possible. If you like drawing, try to create beautiful pictures. When we do something we like, we can forget the time and feel happy. Third, make friends. Friends are very important in our lives. They can share our happiness and sadness. We can talk with them, play with them and help each other. Fourth, help others. Helping others can make us feel good. For example, we can help elderly people carry heavy things or help our classmates with their lessons. Happiness is not hard to find. Just try to do these things and you will be happy. 1．How many ways to find happiness are mentioned (提到)? 2．What can we do to be healthy according to the passage? 3．Why are friends important to us? 4．What do you usually do to be happy?

Whenever you have some free time, you can give your room a big tidy-up. When you clear out all the things you don’t need any more, it not only creates more space but also clears your mind, improving your well-being. But how does mess happen in the first place? Maybe you got new clothes, toys, or books some time ago and didn’t find the right place to keep them, or you couldn’t put things back after use. Once you put off tidying, small messes grow into bigger ones. This can make your room messy and there’s not enough space to tidy everything away. Staying tidy is a challenge for people, because it takes time and energy. However, tidying up has quite some benefits. Psychologist Dr Diane Roberts Stoler says a messy room can take your attention away from things you need to focus on. Besides, it can cause stress and even make it hard to make decisions. When your room is clean and tidy, you don’t need to spend ages looking for missing socks or schoolbooks. Tidying up can make you happy and relaxed and can even help you sleep better. For a big tidy-up, Stoler suggests starting small with easy tasks, like clearing one drawer at a time. You can set a 10-minute timer and race yourself to see how many things you can tidy in 10 minutes. While doing a tidy-up, you can make it fun by listening to music or audiobooks. Ask friends or your family to help decide what to keep and what to give away. You can also think about how you’ll use all your free space when you’re finished. When grouping your things, you can put them into four kinds: keep useful things or those with good memories, give away unwanted but usable things, sell things with adults’ help, and throw away or recycle broken things. Why not take action and have a clean and tidy room? 1．When can you give your room a big tidy-up? 2．Why is staying tidy a challenge for people? 3．While doing a tidy-up, how can you make it fun? 4．Do you think it’s necessary to keep your room clean and tidy? Why or why not? 【答案】1．Whenever I have some free time. 2．Because it takes time and energy. 3．By listening to music or audiobooks. 4．Yes. Because by keeping my room clean and tidy, I don’t need to spend a lot of time looking for missing things, and I can also stay more focused when I’m reading or studying./No. Because it takes a lot of time to always tidy things away, and a messy room can somehow inspire me to be creative. 【导语】本文主要讲述了保持房间整洁的重要性，以及如何通过简单的方法来保持整洁，从而提高生活质量和效率。 1．根据“Whenever you have some free time, you can give your room a big tidy-up.”可知，只要我有空闲时间，就把房间大扫除一下。故填Whenever I have some free time. 2．根据“Staying tidy is a challenge for people, because it takes time and energy.”可知，保持整洁对人们来说是一项挑战，因为它需要时间和精力。故填Because it takes time and energy. 3．根据“While doing a tidy-up, you can make it fun by listening to music or audiobooks.可知，在做整理的时候，可以听音乐或有声读物，让它变得有趣。故填By listening to music or audiobooks. 4．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为：Yes. Because by keeping my room clean and tidy, I don’t need to spend a lot of time looking for missing things, and I can also stay more focused when I’m reading or studying./No. Because it takes a lot of time to always tidy things away, and a messy room can somehow inspire me to be creative. 主题02 中华文化 Passage 1 （24-25七年级下·北京西城·期末）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 I grew up as a Chinese American girl in a small town. Although I lived in American culture from birth, my parents raised me with Chinese traditions to help me understand where I came from. Every winter, my parents took me back to China to meet our family and I would learn to cook from my grandma. Once she taught me to make fun gor (粉粿). She added hot water to the wheat starch (淀粉) and mixed the dough. When I tried to roll it out, my dough kept breaking. She laughed and showed me how to roll out several at one time, her hands moving quickly like a machine. As we cooked, she told me fun gor wrappers (皮) are an important part of Guangdong food culture. She also told me stories about other foods, like thousand-year-old eggs. These stories opened a window for me into our history and traditions. Back in the U.S., my parents usually cooked Chinese dishes for me too. I grew up eating Chinese food, so when I started school, I wanted to bring homemade Chinese food for lunch. My mum was happy to help. To get the right ingredients, she often went to the Chinese stores in the city center. My classmates soon noticed my lunch. It looked nothing like their hamburgers, hot dogs or sandwiches. I shared my food with them and explained where each dish came from and what made it special. Some of them grew interested in Chinese food and culture, so I invited them over for dinner. My parents cooked for them, and our dining table became a place of sharing and learning. Last year, I started posting videos of Chinese dishes online because I wanted more people to know about our food and culture. Sharing food helped me make friends and feel proud of who I am. For me, food is more than just something we eat. 1．Who taught the writer to make fun gor? 2．Where did the writer’s mum often get the right ingredients for her Chinese lunch? 3．Why did the writer post videos of Chinese dishes online? 4．Do you agree that food is more than just something we eat? Why or why not? 【答案】1．Her grandma. 2．In the Chinese stores in the city center. 3．Because she wanted more people to know about Chinese food and culture. 4．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：Yes, I do. Because food carries culture, memories, and emotions. For example, the writer connects with her Chinese traditions through dishes like fun gor, and shares her culture with others by sharing food. It is more than just something to eat—it is a way to pass on history and build relationships. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了身为华裔美国人的作者，在成长过程中通过中国食物感受并传承中国传统文化，同时借助分享食物与他人建立联系、传播文化，最终认识到食物不仅是果腹之物，更是文化载体和身份认同的纽带。 1．根据第二段“Every winter, my parents took me back to China to meet our family and I would learn to cook from my grandma. Once she taught me to make fun gor.”可知，是作者的奶奶教作者做粉粿。故填Her grandma. 2．根据第三段“To get the right ingredients, she often went to the Chinese stores in the city center.”可知，作者的妈妈经常去市中心的中国商店购买做中餐的食材。故填In the Chinese stores in the city center. 3．根据倒数第二段“Last year, I started posting videos of Chinese dishes online because I wanted more people to know about our food and culture.”可知，作者在网上发布中国菜视频的原因是希望更多人了解中国的食物和文化。故填Because she wanted more people to know about Chinese food and culture. 4．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：Yes, I do.

It was fun at first. But before long, I started feeling nervous. My math scores weren’t as good as before, and I always felt sleepy. I knew I had to make a change. So, I tried a challenge with my friends. Its name was “Screen-Free Friday”. Every Friday after school, we did things without screens. One Friday, we visited the science museum. We saw big insects there. Another Friday, we planted small trees in a park. Sometimes, we helped clean the classroom or drew pictures together. After six screen-free Fridays, I started noticing big changes! I did better in math because I could pay more attention in class. And those screen-free Fridays became my favorite memories. From those Fridays, I know what we do is more important than how long we do it. For example, drawing with my friends for 30 minutes can make me happier than watching TV for hours. I still use my phone for fun, but it’s not the most important thing anymore. Now, I ask myself: “Is this helping me grow, or is it just passing time?” I still play computer games, but only on Saturdays. Screen time is just a small part of my week. The best moments are the real-world moments that make us who we are. They aren’t on screens. 1．What was the name of the challenge? 2．When did the writer start noticing the big changes? 3．According to the writer, what are the best moments in life? 4．Would you like to try the “Screen-Free Friday” challenge?

Also, strict screen-free Fridays may not work for everyone, and I think I can have fun in a balanced way. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者通过参与“无屏幕星期五”挑战，减少手机使用时间，从而改善学习状态和获得真实生活体验的故事。 1．根据文章第2段“So, I tried a challenge with my friends. Its name was ‘Screen-Free Friday’.”可知，挑战的名称是“Screen-Free Friday”。 故填Screen-Free Friday./Its name was “Screen-Free Friday”. 2．根据文章第3段“After six screen-free Fridays, I started noticing big changes!”可知，作者在参与六次“无屏幕星期五”后注意到明显变化。 故填After six screen-free Fridays. 3．根据文章最后一段“The best moments are the real-world moments that make us who we are.”可知，作者认为生活中最好的时刻是塑造自我的真实世界体验。 故填They are the real-world moments that make us who we are. 4．开放性试题，言之有理即可。故填Yes.

She spent all day in classes and got dinner ready for the family. Like Emma, many students and adults feel this way every day. They hurry from morning until night with school, jobs, and family tasks. It seems there is no time to stop and rest or think quietly. This is why the Gap Hour idea is becoming popular in many places. A Gap Hour means taking one full hour each day to stop all work and stay away from phones or computers. It is not time for video games or social media, but for quiet and easy activities. You might sit under a tree, watch clouds move slowly, or listen to soft and calm music. The important thing is to do nothing that needs hard thinking or makes you feel tired or stressed (焦虑的). Scientists have studied why Gap Hour helps. Research from Stanford University shows our brains (大脑) lose attention after ninety minutes of work Another study in Japan showed that looking at trees or grass for just fifteen minutes lowers (降低) stress and helps people feel better. These facts tell us that rest is not just a break from work, but a needed and healthy part of how our minds stay clear and strong. Taking a quiet hour lets tired minds get better. It also helps lower bad feelings like worry or anger that build up during busy days. Sometimes, in this calm time, people find new ideas or see problems in a different way. This shows that rest can help our brains work better, not worse. Some people say, “I do not have time,” or “Resting is doing nothing helpful.” But think about this: A phone works better after it gets power. Players do better after breaks. Students also need rest to do well. Without it, people make more mistakes and feel worse inside. Starting a Gap Hour is simple. Choose the same time each day. Find a quiet place at home or outside. Tell others not to talk to you. Try slow things like drinking tea, drawing, or lying down with your eyes closed. So, what would happen if everyone tried this idea? Maybe one quiet hour can help us all feel and do better every day. 1．What do students and adults do from morning until night? 2．What does a Gap Hour mean? 3．What happens after ninety minutes of work in the Stanford University study? 4．Do you want to try a Gap Hour? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons) 【答案】1．They hurry with school, jobs, and family tasks. 2．It means taking one full hour each day to stop all work and stay away from phones or computers. 3．Our brains lose attention. 4．No, because I have too many tasks and cannot spare an hour. Also, I prefer relaxing by watching videos instead of quiet activities. 【导语】本文讲述了现代学生和成年人因忙碌的日常生活而感到疲惫和压力，并介绍了一种名为“间隔小时”的休息方式及其益处。 1．根据“They hurry from morning until night with school, jobs, and family tasks.”可知，学生和成年人从早到晚忙于学业、工作和家庭事务。故填They hurry with school, jobs, and family tasks. 2．根据“A Gap Hour means taking one full hour each day to stop all work and stay away from phones or computers.”可知，Gap Hour是指每天抽出一小时停止工作，远离手机和电脑。故填It means taking one full hour each day to stop all work and stay away from phones or computers. 3．根据“Research from Stanford University shows our brains lose attention after ninety minutes of work.”可知，斯坦福大学的研究表明，工作90分钟后大脑会失去注意力。故填Our brains lose attention. 4．开放题，合理即可。故填No, because I have too many tasks and cannot spare an hour. Also, I prefer relaxing by watching videos instead of quiet activities. Passage 2 （23-24七年级下·北京西城·期末）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 More music, please! Albert Einstein, a famous scientist in the early 1900s, loved to play the violin. Einstein often played his violin when he had a hard time working out a difficult science problem. He believed that playing the violin helped him find answers. He thought there was more to music than just being something fun to listen to. And many scientists today agree with Einstein. They find that music has a power that’s not just for making us feel happy. Some scientists think that playing music can help your brain (大脑) work better. When you play an instrument, you are giving your brain a workout. For example, guitar players have to do many things at once when playing music. They use their eyes to read the music, their fingers to pick at the strings, and their ears to listen to the notes that they are playing. Different parts of their bodies are working together. This helps their brains get stronger and can help them pay attention, work out problems, and remember things more easily. You don’t have to play an instrument to feel good. Just listening to music can also make you happy. If you’re having a bad day, music can make you feel better. When you listen to your favorite music, your brain lets out something that makes you feel good. Listening to light music can also be relaxing. A soft song can help you relax when you are unhappy. For example, many people sing quiet songs to babies, because it can help them stop crying and sleep well. Studies also show that people feel less pain (痛苦) when they are listening to music they enjoy. When people start listening to music, they pay less attention to other things. Because people are not thinking so much about the pain, they do not feel it as strongly. People have found that the more you like the music you’re hearing, the less pain you feel! 1．When did Einstein often play his violin? 2．Why can playing music help your brain work better? 3．What do people do to help babies stop crying and sleep well? 4．When do you listen to music? Why? 【答案】1．He often played his violin when he had a hard time working out a difficult science problem. 2．Because playing music helps our brains get stronger and can help us pay attention, work out problems, and remember things more easily. 3．They sing quiet songs to babies. 4．I often listen to music while doing housework because it makes me feel relaxed. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，通过讲述爱因斯坦拉小提琴激发思维的例子，探讨了音乐对大脑和情绪的益处。 1．根据“Einstein often played his violin when he had a hard time working out a difficult science problem.”可知，爱因斯坦在解决科学难题时经常拉小提琴。故填He often played his violin when he had a hard time working out a difficult science problem. 2．根据“This helps their brains get stronger and can help them pay attention, work out problems, and remember things more easily.”可知，演奏音乐有助于我们的大脑变得更强壮，可以帮助我们集中注意力，解决问题，更容易记住事情，从而帮助我们更好地工作。故填Because playing music helps our brains get stronger and can help us pay attention, work out problems, and remember things more easily. 3．根据“For example, many people sing quiet songs to babies, because it can help them stop crying and sleep well.”可知，人们给婴儿唱安静的歌曲，帮助婴儿停止哭泣并且睡得好。故填They sing quiet songs to babies. 4．本题是一道开放性试题，答案言之有理即可，参考答案为：I often listen to music while doing housework because it makes me feel relaxed. Passage 3 （23-24七年级下·北京顺义·期末）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 How many times have your parents told you that you must eat your green vegetables? We all know that green vegetables are healthy, but what about other foods of different colors? You don’t need to like all food, but it is good for you to have different colors in your diet (饮食), for example, red food such as strawberries and tomatoes, yellow food such as bananas and pears, and orange food such as carrots and oranges. But what about the blue food? A few years ago, a food company put the color blue in its bags of sweets (甜品). Children like the color blue, so were the blue sweets popular? The food company was surprised to find that they were very unpopular (不受欢迎的). Children still like red, green, brown, yellow and orange sweets. How many blue meats or vegetables do you know? There are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural (天然的) food color. So, we don’t recognize blue food as something healthy or safe to eat. Maybe this is why we don’t often use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food. Some people say we eat with our eyes. The idea is that we need to like the looks of the food before we try it. I wanted to test this idea and so I asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch. My husband and I made some bread and put blue coloring in them. But nobody ate them. My guests refused (拒绝) to put the blue bread in their mouths! So will we ever see blue food on our plates? The answer seems to be “no”, at least in countries like the UK and the USA． 1．What is good for you in your diet? 2．Why do we seldom use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food? 3．What did the writer do to test the idea? 4．Would you like to try blue food? Why or why not? 【答案】1．It is good for you to have different colors in your diet. 2．Because there are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural food color. 3．The writer asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch. 4．No, I wouldn’t like to do that. Because the blue food is not safe or healthy. 【导语】本文主要介绍了人们不喜欢蓝色的食物的原因。 1．根据“You don’t need to like all food, but it is good for you to have different colors in your diet”可知，在饮食中吃不同颜色的食物对你好处。故填It is good for you to have different colors in your diet. 2．根据“There are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural (天然的) food color. ... Maybe this is why we don’t often use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food.”可知，因为天然蓝色的食物很少——它不是一种常见的天然食物颜色。故填Because there are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural food color. 3．根据“I wanted to test this idea and so I asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch”可知，作者邀请了一些朋友来吃一顿很不寻常的午餐来测试这个想法。故填The writer asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch. 4．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为No, I wouldn’t like to do that. Because the blue food is not safe or healthy. 主题02 学习策略 Passage 1 （23-24七年级下·北京延庆·期末）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 It is not difficult to learn to speak English.

I became a pilot and flew planes across Canada. I rode horses across Central Asia. I hiked the amazing valleys of Patagonia. I enjoyed these adventures, but I began to worry that they didn’t mean anything if I wasn’t also trying to protect these natural spaces. But how? After I went to Antarctica, I knew the answer. At the age of 16, I was the youngest person to reach Antarctica. It is beautiful there—every part looks like a postcard! I made so many friends on the trip, and I learned so much. On the way there, something happened on the ship. And it helped me decide what I wanted to do next. Our ship traveled through a storm for six days. On day seven, we saw Antarctica. While I was standing on the deck, I saw whales. They were swimming around us for about 30 minutes, gently touching the ship with their heads and having fun. I was very excited! It made me think of the first time I saw whales when I was windsurfing. That was a special moment I will always remember. During the trip, I learned that at one time in history, there were not many whales left—they almost disappeared. I didn’t want to live in a world without whales! In that moment, I knew I wanted to be a storyteller to make other people feel what I felt when I saw the whales. I know that storytelling can be a powerful way to connect people with nature. Stories might encourage people to protect the beautiful places and amazing animals. However, storytelling alone might not be enough. Just hearing stories doesn’t always make people take action. People might feel encouraged but still not do anything to help. Protecting nature needs more than just words. It needs laws, money, and people working together to make real changes. Storytelling is a great start. I know that not everybody can travel around the world. You can understand and connect with the natural world where you live. Just look around and explore. What plants and animals do you see where you live? How do you feel about them? What stories do you want to tell? And most importantly, what actions can you take to protect them? 1．Where did the writer go at the age of 16? 2．How did he feel when he saw the whales swimming around the ship? 3．What did he want to do when he learned whales almost disappeared in history? 4．Do you think storytelling is a good way to help protect the natural world? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.) 【答案】1．To Antarctica. 2．He felt/was very excited. 3．He wanted to be a storyteller to make other people feel what he felt when he saw whales. 4．Yes, storytelling is a good way to help protect the natural world. First, stories can connect people with nature, so they want to protect it. Second, stories encourage people to protect the beautiful places and amazing animals./No, storytelling alone might not be enough to protect the natural world. First, just hearing stories doesn’t always make people take action. People might feel encouraged but still not do anything to help. Second, protecting nature needs more than just words.

Passage 3 （24-25七年级下·北京大兴·期末）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Collecting History on Fridge Doors Can fridge magnets hold 10,000 years of history? Maybe someone can make it come true. Mei Qian became famous online because she collected the “10,000 Years of Huaxia” fridge magnet series. Each magnet shows a relic (文物) from a different Chinese dynasty (朝代), from the Stone Age to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). “At first, I just bought magnets as souvenirs (纪念品),” Mei said. “After an exhibition, I had a new idea and I decided to collect magnets for every dynasty.” Mei started to place them in historical order and wrote names and dates for each one. She made sure everything was correct and tried to make them look beautiful. “Each magnet became a small door into the past,” she said. Mei didn’t stop at collecting—she also started making her own. Her favorite fridge magnet is a small version (版本) of a lacquer screen (漆器屏风) from the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534). The magnet is 9.8 cm tall and looks like a little piece of art. “I painted it by hand on wood,” Mei said. “I looked at real museum lights and official photos to get the right color.” Mei even asked people online, “Which version do you like better, the glassy or the matte (哑光的)?” She felt like being a real artist. “Fridge magnets are small, fun and easy to understand. You can see a piece of history every time you get a snack from the fridge,” Mei joked. “You don’t need to read a long book—just one picture can make you curious.” To middle schoolers, Mei shares her advice: “Start with what you love—dragons, pottery, paintings ...

Passage 8 （23-24七年级下·北京海淀·期末）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Most people like traveling. However, do you ever feel tired because of the changes to your daily routine? Do you ever find yourself needing more days off for more rest after traveling? If yes, then sleep tourism may be your best choice for your next trip. Sleep tourism became popular in 2020. It is a new kind of travel which focuses on rest and relaxation while traveling. In sleep tourism, tourists spend their time visiting places, experiencing new cultures and tasting new types of food, and at the same time naturally catching up on much-needed sleep. More and more people are interested in sleep tourism these years. Studies show people like sleep tourism because health and happiness are more important for them. In this busy world, it is difficult for people to find time for themselves, and often the first thing to lose is sleep. Sleep tourism gives people a chance to break from the stress and the busy everyday life. Besides, some people want to keep their sleep routine during traveling. Breaking the routine can affect sleep.

But how can we find happiness? First, be healthy. Taking exercise every day is a good way to be healthy. When we are healthy, we can have a good mood (心情) and enjoy life. We can do sports like running, swimming or playing basketball. Second, do what you like. If you like reading, read as much as possible. If you like drawing, try to create beautiful pictures. When we do something we like, we can forget the time and feel happy. Third, make friends. Friends are very important in our lives. They can share our happiness and sadness. We can talk with them, play with them and help each other. Fourth, help others. Helping others can make us feel good. For example, we can help elderly people carry heavy things or help our classmates with their lessons. Happiness is not hard to find. Just try to do these things and you will be happy. 1．How many ways to find happiness are mentioned (提到)? 2．What can we do to be healthy according to the passage? 3．Why are friends important to us? 4．What do you usually do to be happy? Why do you do that? Passage 2 （24-25七年级下·北京海淀·期末）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Clear out the Mess Have you ever heard of the saying “Tidy space, tidy mind”? Whenever you have some free time, you can give your room a big tidy-up. When you clear out all the things you don’t need any more, it not only creates more space but also clears your mind, improving your well-being. But how does mess happen in the first place? Maybe you got new clothes, toys, or books some time ago and didn’t find the right place to keep them, or you couldn’t put things back after use. Once you put off tidying, small messes grow into bigger ones. This can make your room messy and there’s not enough space to tidy everything away. Staying tidy is a challenge for people, because it takes time and energy. However, tidying up has quite some benefits. Psychologist Dr Diane Roberts Stoler says a messy room can take your attention away from things you need to focus on. Besides, it can cause stress and even make it hard to make decisions. When your room is clean and tidy, you don’t need to spend ages looking for missing socks or schoolbooks. Tidying up can make you happy and relaxed and can even help you sleep better. For a big tidy-up, Stoler suggests starting small with easy tasks, like clearing one drawer at a time. You can set a 10-minute timer and race yourself to see how many things you can tidy in 10 minutes. While doing a tidy-up, you can make it fun by listening to music or audiobooks. Ask friends or your family to help decide what to keep and what to give away. You can also think about how you’ll use all your free space when you’re finished. When grouping your things, you can put them into four kinds: keep useful things or those with good memories, give away unwanted but usable things, sell things with adults’ help, and throw away or recycle broken things. Why not take action and have a clean and tidy room? 1．When can you give your room a big tidy-up? 2．Why is staying tidy a challenge for people? 3．While doing a tidy-up, how can you make it fun? 4．Do you think it’s necessary to keep your room clean and tidy? Why or why not? 主题02 中华文化 Passage 1 （24-25七年级下·北京西城·期末）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 I grew up as a Chinese American girl in a small town. Although I lived in American culture from birth, my parents raised me with Chinese traditions to help me understand where I came from. Every winter, my parents took me back to China to meet our family and I would learn to cook from my grandma. Once she taught me to make fun gor (粉粿). She added hot water to the wheat starch (淀粉) and mixed the dough. When I tried to roll it out, my dough kept breaking. She laughed and showed me how to roll out several at one time, her hands moving quickly like a machine. As we cooked, she told me fun gor wrappers (皮) are an important part of Guangdong food culture. She also told me stories about other foods, like thousand-year-old eggs. These stories opened a window for me into our history and traditions. Back in the U.S., my parents usually cooked Chinese dishes for me too. I grew up eating Chinese food, so when I started school, I wanted to bring homemade Chinese food for lunch. My mum was happy to help. To get the right ingredients, she often went to the Chinese stores in the city center. My classmates soon noticed my lunch. It looked nothing like their hamburgers, hot dogs or sandwiches. I shared my food with them and explained where each dish came from and what made it special. Some of them grew interested in Chinese food and culture, so I invited them over for dinner. My parents cooked for them, and our dining table became a place of sharing and learning. Last year, I started posting videos of Chinese dishes online because I wanted more people to know about our food and culture. Sharing food helped me make friends and feel proud of who I am. For me, food is more than just something we eat. 1．Who taught the writer to make fun gor? 2．Where did the writer’s mum often get the right ingredients for her Chinese lunch? 3．Why did the writer post videos of Chinese dishes online? 4．Do you agree that food is more than just something we eat? Why or why not? Passage 2 （23-24七年级下·北京朝阳·期末） Over 400 years ago in China, there was a cool traveler. He spent 30 years traveling across China. He was Xu Xiake. Xu Xiake was born in Jiangsu Province. When he was a child, his family had many books and he enjoyed reading about the mountains and rivers of China. He decided to see them when he grew up. At that time, many kids were studying hard because they wanted to work for the government (政府) when they were older. But Xu’s father never made him take tests. Instead, he encouraged (鼓励) his son to go out and get to know the world. Xu began his trip when he was about 20 years old. Before he left, his mother made him a traveling hat to encourage him to travel. Xu traveled to 21 provinces and over 100 cities in China. He climbed thousands of mountains and visited over 350 caves. He was the first person to find the highest hill of Huangshan Mountain. He was also the first to find lots of karst caves (喀斯特溶洞). What’s more, he found the Yangtze River’s headwater. Xu traveled mostly on foot. He slept and ate in nature. Sometimes he fell into rivers or ran into dangerous animals. But Xu was brave and enjoyed his trip. Xu kept a diary while traveling but it was not printed until his death—Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake. The book is still popular today. Being an adventurer (冒险者) can be very exciting. But it also takes bravery and skills (技能). 1．Where was Xu Xiake born? 54．What did Xu Xiake’s father encourage him to do? 3．How many provinces did Xu Xiake travel to? 4．Would you like to be an adventurer?

It was fun at first. But before long, I started feeling nervous. My math scores weren’t as good as before, and I always felt sleepy. I knew I had to make a change. So, I tried a challenge with my friends. Its name was “Screen-Free Friday”. Every Friday after school, we did things without screens. One Friday, we visited the science museum. We saw big insects there. Another Friday, we planted small trees in a park. Sometimes, we helped clean the classroom or drew pictures together. After six screen-free Fridays, I started noticing big changes! I did better in math because I could pay more attention in class. And those screen-free Fridays became my favorite memories. From those Fridays, I know what we do is more important than how long we do it. For example, drawing with my friends for 30 minutes can make me happier than watching TV for hours. I still use my phone for fun, but it’s not the most important thing anymore. Now, I ask myself: “Is this helping me grow, or is it just passing time?” I still play computer games, but only on Saturdays. Screen time is just a small part of my week. The best moments are the real-world moments that make us who we are. They aren’t on screens. 1．What was the name of the challenge? 2．When did the writer start noticing the big changes? 3．According to the writer, what are the best moments in life? 4．Would you like to try the “Screen-Free Friday” challenge? Why or why not?

She spent all day in classes and got dinner ready for the family. Like Emma, many students and adults feel this way every day. They hurry from morning until night with school, jobs, and family tasks. It seems there is no time to stop and rest or think quietly. This is why the Gap Hour idea is becoming popular in many places. A Gap Hour means taking one full hour each day to stop all work and stay away from phones or computers. It is not time for video games or social media, but for quiet and easy activities. You might sit under a tree, watch clouds move slowly, or listen to soft and calm music. The important thing is to do nothing that needs hard thinking or makes you feel tired or stressed (焦虑的). Scientists have studied why Gap Hour helps. Research from Stanford University shows our brains (大脑) lose attention after ninety minutes of work Another study in Japan showed that looking at trees or grass for just fifteen minutes lowers (降低) stress and helps people feel better. These facts tell us that rest is not just a break from work, but a needed and healthy part of how our minds stay clear and strong. Taking a quiet hour lets tired minds get better. It also helps lower bad feelings like worry or anger that build up during busy days. Sometimes, in this calm time, people find new ideas or see problems in a different way. This shows that rest can help our brains work better, not worse. Some people say, “I do not have time,” or “Resting is doing nothing helpful.” But think about this: A phone works better after it gets power. Players do better after breaks. Students also need rest to do well. Without it, people make more mistakes and feel worse inside. Starting a Gap Hour is simple. Choose the same time each day. Find a quiet place at home or outside. Tell others not to talk to you. Try slow things like drinking tea, drawing, or lying down with your eyes closed. So, what would happen if everyone tried this idea? Maybe one quiet hour can help us all feel and do better every day. 1．What do students and adults do from morning until night? 2．What does a Gap Hour mean? 3．What happens after ninety minutes of work in the Stanford University study? 4．Do you want to try a Gap Hour? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons) Passage 2 （23-24七年级下·北京西城·期末）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 More music, please! Albert Einstein, a famous scientist in the early 1900s, loved to play the violin. Einstein often played his violin when he had a hard time working out a difficult science problem. He believed that playing the violin helped him find answers. He thought there was more to music than just being something fun to listen to. And many scientists today agree with Einstein. They find that music has a power that’s not just for making us feel happy. Some scientists think that playing music can help your brain (大脑) work better. When you play an instrument, you are giving your brain a workout. For example, guitar players have to do many things at once when playing music. They use their eyes to read the music, their fingers to pick at the strings, and their ears to listen to the notes that they are playing. Different parts of their bodies are working together. This helps their brains get stronger and can help them pay attention, work out problems, and remember things more easily. You don’t have to play an instrument to feel good. Just listening to music can also make you happy. If you’re having a bad day, music can make you feel better. When you listen to your favorite music, your brain lets out something that makes you feel good. Listening to light music can also be relaxing. A soft song can help you relax when you are unhappy. For example, many people sing quiet songs to babies, because it can help them stop crying and sleep well. Studies also show that people feel less pain (痛苦) when they are listening to music they enjoy. When people start listening to music, they pay less attention to other things. Because people are not thinking so much about the pain, they do not feel it as strongly. People have found that the more you like the music you’re hearing, the less pain you feel! 1．When did Einstein often play his violin? 2．Why can playing music help your brain work better? 3．What do people do to help babies stop crying and sleep well? 4．When do you listen to music? Why? Passage 3 （23-24七年级下·北京顺义·期末）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 How many times have your parents told you that you must eat your green vegetables? We all know that green vegetables are healthy, but what about other foods of different colors? You don’t need to like all food, but it is good for you to have different colors in your diet (饮食), for example, red food such as strawberries and tomatoes, yellow food such as bananas and pears, and orange food such as carrots and oranges. But what about the blue food? A few years ago, a food company put the color blue in its bags of sweets (甜品). Children like the color blue, so were the blue sweets popular? The food company was surprised to find that they were very unpopular (不受欢迎的). Children still like red, green, brown, yellow and orange sweets. How many blue meats or vegetables do you know? There are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural (天然的) food color. So, we don’t recognize blue food as something healthy or safe to eat. Maybe this is why we don’t often use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food. Some people say we eat with our eyes. The idea is that we need to like the looks of the food before we try it. I wanted to test this idea and so I asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch. My husband and I made some bread and put blue coloring in them. But nobody ate them. My guests refused (拒绝) to put the blue bread in their mouths! So will we ever see blue food on our plates? The answer seems to be “no”, at least in countries like the UK and the USA． 1．What is good for you in your diet? 2．Why do we seldom use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food? 3．What did the writer do to test the idea? 4．Would you like to try blue food?

When people travel in Beijing, most people want to go to the Great Wall. Visiting the Great Wall is a must. However, some human activities are bad for the structure of the Great Wall. The development of tourism (旅游) has brought harm to the Great Wall. For example, farmhouses have been built at the foot of the wall. Some visitors damaged (损坏，破坏) the Great Wall, too. They do some damaging behaviors, like drawing or writing on the Great Wall, and throwing rubbish on it. The Chinese government did something to protect it.

I became a pilot and flew planes across Canada. I rode horses across Central Asia. I hiked the amazing valleys of Patagonia. I enjoyed these adventures, but I began to worry that they didn’t mean anything if I wasn’t also trying to protect these natural spaces. But how? After I went to Antarctica, I knew the answer. At the age of 16, I was the youngest person to reach Antarctica. It is beautiful there—every part looks like a postcard! I made so many friends on the trip, and I learned so much. On the way there, something happened on the ship. And it helped me decide what I wanted to do next. Our ship traveled through a storm for six days. On day seven, we saw Antarctica. While I was standing on the deck, I saw whales. They were swimming around us for about 30 minutes, gently touching the ship with their heads and having fun. I was very excited! It made me think of the first time I saw whales when I was windsurfing. That was a special moment I will always remember. During the trip, I learned that at one time in history, there were not many whales left—they almost disappeared. I didn’t want to live in a world without whales! In that moment, I knew I wanted to be a storyteller to make other people feel what I felt when I saw the whales. I know that storytelling can be a powerful way to connect people with nature. Stories might encourage people to protect the beautiful places and amazing animals. However, storytelling alone might not be enough. Just hearing stories doesn’t always make people take action. People might feel encouraged but still not do anything to help. Protecting nature needs more than just words. It needs laws, money, and people working together to make real changes. Storytelling is a great start. I know that not everybody can travel around the world. You can understand and connect with the natural world where you live. Just look around and explore. What plants and animals do you see where you live? How do you feel about them? What stories do you want to tell? And most importantly, what actions can you take to protect them? 1．Where did the writer go at the age of 16? 2．How did he feel when he saw the whales swimming around the ship? 3．What did he want to do when he learned whales almost disappeared in history? 4．Do you think storytelling is a good way to help protect the natural world?

Scientists say that people laugh about 17 times a day on average (平均). That is a lot of laughter (笑，笑声). In India, there are hundreds of laughter clubs. They aren’t a place for people to watch interesting shows. They’re a place for people to practice laughing. People get together every morning. First they put their hands on their heads. Then they pretend (假装) to laugh. But after a short time, everyone is laughing naturally. They say they feel good after laughing together. Scientists believe that laughter is good for us. Why do they think so? For one thing, laughter is good exercise. When we laugh, we exercise many muscles (肌肉) in our body. Scientists say that one hundred laughs is the same as ten minutes of running. For another, when we laugh, we also breathe deeply (深呼吸). This helps us relax. That’s good for us, too. Why do we laugh? That’s a hard question to answer. We know that people laugh more often when they are in a group. They don’t laugh very often when they are alone. Many scientists believe that we use laughter to connect (把……联系起来) with other people. Laughter helps us feel part of a group. Some people even say that laughter is the best medicine. If a man is ill, laughter can help him get well. What do you think? 1．How many times do people laugh on average every day according to scientists? 2．What do people do first in laughter clubs in India before they start laughing? 3．When do people laugh more often, when they are in a group or when they are alone? 4．Do you want to join the laughter club?

Passengers (乘客) can take their pets on the train on some Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail lines. This is a big step in railway logistics (物流). The service serves five important stations: Beijing, Jinan, Nanjing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou. Before starting this service, China Railway Group did a lot of tests. If you want to use this service, you need to book online at least two days early. Each person can take one healthy cat or dog. There are two rules. Firstly, the pet should weigh less than 15 kilograms and be no taller than 40 centimeters. Secondly, you need to have a valid (有效的) animal quarantine (检疫期) certificate. The best part is that you can travel on the same train as your pet. The cost of this trial (试用) service is 30% lower than the cost of sending pets by plane, and it depends on how far you travel. People have different ideas about this new service. Ms. Wu from Shanghai likes it because she thinks it’s good for her pets and she doesn’t need to leave them at home during May Day holiday. But Ms. Xu from Changsha is worried. She is not sure if pets can adapt (适应) to new places easily. She is also worried about who will be responsible (负有责任的) if something bad happens. She wants to wait and see what other people think before she tries it. This new service is important. It meets pet owners’ needs. And it fills a gap in the market. It also shows that railway companies are changing to fit the growing pet economy (经济) and what passengers want. 1．When did the pet-on-train service start in China? 2．How many rules are there for taking pets on the train? 3．What does the cost of this new service depend on? 4．What do you think of this new service on the railway?

Mei Qian became famous online because she collected the “10,000 Years of Huaxia” fridge magnet series. Each magnet shows a relic (文物) from a different Chinese dynasty (朝代), from the Stone Age to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). “At first, I just bought magnets as souvenirs (纪念品),” Mei said. “After an exhibition, I had a new idea and I decided to collect magnets for every dynasty.” Mei started to place them in historical order and wrote names and dates for each one. She made sure everything was correct and tried to make them look beautiful. “Each magnet became a small door into the past,” she said. Mei didn’t stop at collecting—she also started making her own. Her favorite fridge magnet is a small version (版本) of a lacquer screen (漆器屏风) from the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534). The magnet is 9.8 cm tall and looks like a little piece of art. “I painted it by hand on wood,” Mei said. “I looked at real museum lights and official photos to get the right color.” Mei even asked people online, “Which version do you like better, the glassy or the matte (哑光的)?” She felt like being a real artist. “Fridge magnets are small, fun and easy to understand. You can see a piece of history every time you get a snack from the fridge,” Mei joked. “You don’t need to read a long book—just one picture can make you curious.” To middle schoolers, Mei shares her advice: “Start with what you love—dragons, pottery, paintings ... Piece by piece, your collection becomes a story.” 1．Why did Mei Qian become famous online? 2．What did Mei decide to do after an exhibition? 3．What is Mei’s favorite fridge magnet? 4．Would you like to collect fridge magnets?

This was once the routine for Zhang Yiling, a 27-year-old girl from Shanghai. But three years ago, fresh out of university and starting her first job, Zhang recognized that her idea of “relaxing weekends” nearly turned into “spending money”. If she didn’t spend money on weekends, she wouldn’t know what relaxing activities to do. Because of this, Zhang began to look for other ways to enjoy weekend life, not just shopping. To make a change, Zhang and 26 friends built up The Lifespark Group in 2022. They started a project called “Make Your Weekend a True Break” By doing surveys, they found many surprising ways to enjoy weekends, such as dancing and exercising in a park square,joining book clubs, watching movies at home, or even becoming a model for free photos. Zhang herself also began to pay closer attention to the interesting things around her. She found that a flower shop near her home gave free lessons on weekends. She learned about how to pick fresh flowers and grow plants. “I take care of my plants and flowers every day. I enjoy looking at them growing strong. That makes me feel relaxed.” “I hope that our project can make more people know what they really want and how to use money in a right way,” said Zhang Yiling. “Let’s go to the library to read about different lives we never experience and visit museums to learn about history or culture. We can also spend an afternoon looking through old pictures with our family.” 1．What did Zhang Yiling recognize three years ago? 2．When did Zhang and 26 friends build up The Lifespark Group? 3．How did Zhang feel when she looked after her plants and flowers? 4．Would you like to spend weekends like The Lifespark Group?

Thanks to Paige Chenault and her Birthday Party Project, that is changing in the U.S.A． Every month, the Birthday Party Project holds birthday parties for the homeless kids. For some kids, it is the first birthday party they have had. The Birthday Party Project wanted to make every kid feel special (特别的). “Everyone is special,” Paige said.

In my village, there aren’t many cars or buses, and the streets are clean. I know all the neighbours and at the end of the day, we get together and talk. We go to bed early because there isn’t much to do in the evening. There aren’t any theaters, cinemas, museums or clubs. But the children often play in the streets or in nature (自然). There is no noise, so we can hear a lot of beautiful sounds from nature like the birds singing and the rain pouring (倾泻). In the evening, we can see lots of beautiful stars in the sky. My pen friend Ken lives in a big city. He says there are more workplaces in the city, better schools, nicer shops, finer restaurants and lots of cinemas, theaters and museums. Children can go to clubs and parks to enjoy themselves. I went to the city to visit Ken last month. He took me to a big shopping center in the city and bought some nice gifts for my family. “Which is better, the city or the village?” many of my classmates asked me when I came back. I’m not sure. The life in the city is quite different from the one in the village. But I know that I like the clean streets, friendly neighbours and fresh air in the village better. 1．Who lives in a village? 2．Why do people in Peter’s village go to bed early? 3．Where does Ken live? 4．What did Ken buy for Peter’s family? 5．Do you like living in the village or in the city? Why? Passage 7 （23-24七年级下·北京石景山·期末）阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。 Hank and his brother, Isaac, walked into home and called their mom. As they went into the living room, they saw their mom lying (躺) on the floor. Hank shook her and shouted, “Mommy, wake up!” She didn’t answer, so Hank tried again. Isaac began to cry. “Don’t worry, Isaac. It will be OK,” Hank said, but he had to think quickly. He was only eight years old. What could he do? Then he remembered how Grandma used to play a game with him. She would pretend to be an 911 operator (接线员). She would ask him questions like “What is your name?” “What is your address?” He had learned all the right answers, so he knew what to do. Hank took up the phone and called 911. A lady answered the phone and said, “What is your emergency (紧急情况)?” Hank was shaking so he took a deep breath and said, “Hello! My name is Hank Robinson. My mom is on the floor. She looks like she is sleeping, but I can’t wake her up.” Then the lady asked Hank all the questions he had practiced with Grandma. He remembered to speak loudly and clearly because it was important. If the lady did not understand him, she could not help Mom. So again Hank said, “I live at 1203 Oak Street in Madison.” Soon two doctors came to help. They helped Mom to wake up. Finally, she sat up and began to feel better. She smiled and thanked the doctors, and they told her that Hank was a hero because he helped save his mom’s life. 1．What did Hank see when he went into the living room? 2．Who played the game of “calling 911” with Hank? 3．Why did the doctors say Hank was a hero? 4．What do you think of Hank?

It is a new kind of travel which focuses on rest and relaxation while traveling. In sleep tourism, tourists spend their time visiting places, experiencing new cultures and tasting new types of food, and at the same time naturally catching up on much-needed sleep. More and more people are interested in sleep tourism these years. Studies show people like sleep tourism because health and happiness are more important for them.

For example, going to bed later can make it hard to fall asleep. As a result, people may feel less rested the next morning. Travel companies and hotels are working together to make people travel well and sleep well. Companies are planning relaxing activities such as yoga, walking as well as meditation (冥想). Hotels are trying to better their environment by providing comfortable bedding, dreamy music, smart lighting, and so on.
