He made a tool that can find pesticides (农药) on fruits and vegetables. This won him $25,000 (about180,000 yuan) and the title of “Best Young Scientist in America”. Subash’s idea for the tool came from a simple yet important question. His mother always told him to wash fruit before eating it. The boy wondered if the action did any good. He learned that 70 percent of fruits and vegetables have pesticides. They can bring health problems like cancer. Washing only gets away part of the pesticides. “If we could find them, we could avoid eating them and lower the risk of those health problems,” Subash said. This led Subash to invent PestiSCAND, a small tool that people can carry around. It works by shining lights and seeing how light reflects (反射) off food. With the help of a sensor (传感器), a screen and an AI learning model, the tool can find out if there are pesticides around. To use it, users must point PestiSCAND at the fruit or vegetable to see if they need to wash it again. They can use an app on phones to check the results. During testing, PestiSCAND was right more than 85 percent of the time in finding pesticides. Subash plans to improve his tool and hopes to get it to market by the time he starts college. His love for science will never go away. “In 15 years, I hope to be designing and building devices (设备) that can help make the world a better place,” said Subash. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．How old is Sirish Subash? 2．What does Subash’s idea come from? 3．Why are pesticides bad for our health? 4．How can people check the testing results? 5．What do you think makes Subash successful? 【答案】1．He is 14 years old./14 years old./2. 3．A simple yet important question. 4．(Because) they can bring health problems. 5．By using an app on phones./Through an app on phones. 6．His love for science./His hard work./… 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美国14岁学生Sirish Subash发明检测农药工具的相关内容。   1．根据文章第1段“Sirish Subash, a 14-year-old student from Snellville, Georgia, US, recently won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge.”可知，Sirish Subash的年龄是14岁。 2．根据文章第3段中的“Subash’s idea for the tool came from a simple yet important question.”可知，Subash对该工具的想法来自一个简单但重要的问题。 3．根据文章第4段中的“He learned that 70 percent of fruits and vegetables have pesticides.

It was set up in April 2024 in Chongqing, China. The founder is Zhang Xue, a motorcycle racer and engineer, who has rich experience in motorcycle racing and designing new motorcycles. ZXMOTO is a company that does research, makes, sells high-performance motorcycles and also joins in racing competitions. Its slogan is “Extreme and Passion”. The company has a large team of over 100 workers, and more than 80% of them are researchers. Most of the researchers have worked in famous motorcycle companies before, like Yamaha and Kawasaki.

It tells a story about our time, our culture, and even our technology. Fashion in China has changed greatly over the years, showing how people’s lives and ideas have  developed. In ancient times, clothing style in China was stable for centuries. People wore traditional clothes like hanfu. The  style, colour, and material of clothes could often tell a person’s social status. For example, bright yellow was often only for the emperor and his family. In the early 20th century, things began to change quickly. The cheongsam (qipao) became popular for women. It mixed traditional Chinese elements with a more modern, fitted silhouette (剪影) Meanwhile, Western-style suits and dresses started to appear in big cities like Shanghai, showing the beginning of global influence on Chinese fashion. After the 1980s, with China’s reform and opening-up, young people began to have more choices. They were  crazy about new ideas from abroad. Blue jeans, T-shirts, and sunglasses became symbols of being modern and free. People started to use clothes to express their individuality, not just to follow tradition. In the 21st century, fashion has become highly diverse and fast-paced. Thanks to the Internet and fast fashion brands, trends change very quickly. A style popular in Paris or Seoul can be seen on the streets of Beijing or Chengdu in just a few weeks. Platforms like Xiaohongshu and TikTok allow everyone to be both a fashion follower and a  trendsetter. Today, people are also thinking more about what’s behind the clothes. The ideas of sustainable fashion and “vintage” style are becoming popular. This means people are paying more attention to protecting the environment and appreciating classic styles that last longer than just one season. Looking into the future, fashion will likely continue to mix technology with personal expression. Maybe we will have smart clothes that can change colour or monitor our health. One thing is for sure: fashion will keep reflecting  who we are and the world we live in.Task 1: 1．What could the clothes tell about a person in ancient China? 2．What happened to fashion after the 1980s in China? 3．What makes fashion trends change so quickly in the 21st century? 4．What are the two popular ideas in fashion today mentioned in the passage? Task 2: 5．The passage ends by saying: “Maybe we will have smart clothes that can change colour or monitor our health.” What other innovative features can you imagine for smart clothes? (Use your own words in at least 30 words.) 【答案】1．The clothes could tell a person’s social status. 2．Young people began to have more choices and used clothes to express their individuality, influenced by new ideas from abroad. 3．The Internet, fast fashion brands, and platforms make fashion trends change quickly. 4．Sustainable fashion and vintage style. 5．Perhaps future clothes could automatically adjust their thickness to keep us warm in winter and cool in summer. They might also be able to clean themselves using sunlight, saving water and time. Some smart clothes may even help us communicate by translating languages instantly or showing messages on the fabric. (Any reasonable answer is OK.) 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国时尚在不同历史时期的演变，包括古代、20世纪初、20世纪80年代后、21世纪以及当下和未来时尚的特点，展现了人们生活和观念的发展。 1．文中明确提到“The style, colour, and material of clothes could often tell a person’s social status.”，所以在古代中国，衣服能反映出一个人的社会地位，答案直接从原文提取。 2．根据“After the 1980s, with China’s reform and opening-up, young people began to have more choices. They were crazy about new ideas from abroad. People started to use clothes to express their individuality, not just to follow tradition.”可知，20世纪80年代后，年轻人有了更多选择，受国外新思想影响，开始用衣服表达个性，答案整合原文信息得出。 3．从“In the 21st century, fashion has become highly diverse and fast-paced. Thanks to the Internet and fast fashion brands, trends change very quickly. Platforms like Xiaohongshu and TikTok allow everyone to be both a fashion follower and a trendsetter.”可知，互联网、快时尚品牌和平台使得21世纪时尚潮流变化很快，答案直接提取原文关键信息。 4．文中提到“Today, people are also thinking more about what’s behind the clothes. The ideas of sustainable fashion and ‘vintage’ style are becoming popular.”，所以当下时尚中流行的两个理念是可持续时尚和复古风格，答案直接从原文获取。 5．开放题，答案不唯一。需结合当下科技发展情况，合理想象智能衣服可能具备的创新功能，如自动调节厚度、利用阳光自清洁、帮助交流等，表明观点并给出合理描述即可。 In April, a powerful windstorm blew through North China, turning skies orange and making trees dance like crazy. According to weather reports, winds hit over 130 km/h as strong as a tropical (热带的) storm in mountain areas of Beijing and Hebei, while flat areas experienced winds of 90—110 km/h. This kind of storm is very unusual for April, and it lasted for more than 48 hours, knocking down street signs and making airplanes to cancel (取消) flights. Besides strong winds, the storm carried thick sand and dust (尘土) from Mongolia and China’s northwest deserts. They make the sky dark, making it look like nighttime during the day. In cities like Beijing and Tianjin, the air pollution (污染) got to the worst level possible. People had to wear masks not only for health protection but also to keep off polluted air. Schools closed, parks shut down, and delivery services received many orders as people stayed indoors. The storm caused many dangers, including: * Falling signs * Flying rubbish and branches * Overturned trucks on highways Scientists warned that the wind was strong enough to lift small cars. At the same time, heavy snowstorms in Inner Mongolia made the situation even worse. How did people stay safe? Scientists gave the following advice: ☆Stay indoors ☆Close windows tightly ☆Move light items inside 1．What was the speed of wind in flat areas according to Paragraph 1? 2．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to? 3．Why did people have to wear masks in Beijing and Tianjin? 4．What dangers did the storm cause according to the text? 5．What will you do to keep safe if there is a storm in your city? (At least 4 tips) 【答案】1．90—110 km/h. 2．Thick sand and dust. 3．Not only for health protection but also to keep off polluted air. 4．The storm caused many dangers, including falling signs, flying rubbish and branches and overturned trucks on highways. 5．I will stay indoors, close windows tightly, move light items inside and put the flashlights within our reach. 【导语】本文主要讲述了一场强风暴席卷华北地区，风力巨大并伴随沙尘，造成严重空气污染、诸多安全隐患，同时文中给出了应对风暴的安全防护建议。 1．首段直接给出平原地区风速信息“flat areas experienced winds of 90—110 km/h”，题目对应原文这句具体数据，属于原文细节直接提取，因此答案可直接摘抄原文风速。 2．第二段划线词They指代前一句“the storm carried thick sand and dust from Mongolia and China’s northwest deserts”中的“thick sand and dust”，需要结合上文句子内容判断代词指代对象。 3．根据第二段“the air pollution got to the worst level possible. People had to wear masks not only for health protection but also to keep off polluted air”可知，因为空气污染达到最高级别，人们需要戴口罩保护健康、隔绝污染空气，从这两句原文中就能梳理出原因。 4．文中以列表和文字写明风暴带来的危害：Falling signs、Flying rubbish and branches、Overturned trucks on highways，还提到the wind was strong enough to lift small cars以及heavy snowstorms in Inner Mongolia made the situation even worse，答案需要把这些原文列举的危险信息整合概括即可。 5．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，可参照文中科学家给出的建议，再结合生活实际写出至少四条避险做法，表述合理、贴合防灾常识即可。 The essence of true friendship Friendship is one of the most precious gifts life has to offer. It is a bond that transcends time, distance, and circumstance. True friendship is not about how often you meet or how much you give; it is about the depth of understanding, the strength of support, and the warmth of unconditional love. A true friend is someone who stands by you through thick and thin. They are the ones who celebrate your successes as if they were their own and who offer a shoulder to lean on during your darkest hours. True friends listen without judgment, speak with honesty, and act with kindness. They are the mirrors that reflect your true self and the anchors that keep you grounded. Friendship is also about shared experiences and memories. It is the laughter that echoes in your heart long after the moment has passed, and the stories that become legends over time. Whether it’s a spontaneous (自发的) adventure, a heartfelt conversation, or a simple act of kindness, these moments, weave the fabric of a lasting friendship. In a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain, true friendship provides a sanctuary of peace and stability. It is a reminder that we are not alone, that there are people who care deeply about us and who will walk beside us no matter what. So cherish your friends, for they are the treasures of your life. Nurture your friendships with time, attention, and love. And remember, the best kind of friendship is the one that makes you a better person, the one that inspires you to grow, to dream, and to be the best version of yourself. 1．What is friendship compared to in the passage? 2．What is true friendship about, according to the passage? 3．What will a true friend do when you succeed? 4．What role do true friends play in your life? 5．What should we do to keep our friendships lasting?

For example, my best friend and I often study together, which makes our friendship stronger. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要围绕“真正的友谊”展开，阐述了友谊是生命中最珍贵的礼物之一，它超越时间、距离与境遇。真正的友谊并非取决于见面频率或付出多少，而是体现在理解的深度、支持的力量与无条件的爱。真正的朋友会在顺境中为你庆祝，在逆境中与你相伴，他们是你自我的镜子与人生的锚点。友谊还通过共享的经历与回忆得以维系，在混乱的世界中提供心灵的庇护，最终激励你成为更好的自己。 1．根据“Friendship is one of the most precious gifts life has to offer.”可知，友谊是生命所赐予的最珍贵的礼物之一，所以，将友谊被比作人生所能提供的最珍贵的礼物之一。故填Friendship is compared to one of the most precious gifts life has to offer. 2．根据“True friendship is not about how often you meet or how much you give; it is about the depth of understanding, the strength of support, and the warmth of unconditional love.”可知，真正的友谊关乎理解的深度、支持的力量与无条件的爱。故填True friendship is about the depth of understanding, the strength of support, and the warmth of unconditional love. 3．根据“A true friend is someone who stands… a shoulder to lean on during your darkest hours.”可知，真正的朋友会像庆祝自己的成功一样为你庆祝。故填A true friend will celebrate your successes as if they were their own.   4．根据“True friends listen without judgment, speak with honesty, and act with kindness.They are the mirrors that reflect your true self and the anchors that keep you grounded.”可知，真正的朋友是映照你真实自我的镜子，以及让你脚踏实地的锚。故填They are the mirrors that reflect your true self and the anchors that keep you grounded. 5．根据“Nurture your friendships with time, attention, and love. And remember… grow, to dream, and to be the best version of yourself.”可知，用时间、关注与爱去培育友谊，同时共享的经历与回忆也能编织出持久的友谊。故填We should nurture our friendships with time, attention, and love, and cherish shared experiences and memories. 6．这是一个开放性问题，文章提到共享的经历是友谊的重要组成部分。可以结合自身经历举例，例如一起学习、旅行等。故填Yes. For example, my best friend and I often study together, which makes our friendship stronger. 进阶拓展训练5篇 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。 Lily is my deskmate and one of my closest friends.

A good news report has clear structure and correct facts. It usually includes a headline, lead paragraph, body and ending. The headline is short and tells the main event. The lead paragraph comes first. It answers the key questions: what, when, where, who and why. The body gives more details about the disaster, such as damage, death number and rescue work. The ending tells about future plans or rebuilding. When you write a news report, you should use past tense for the event and present perfect tense for rescue work. You should write in the third person and give true information. Do not add your own feelings. Making a leaflet is also helpful. A disaster leaflet for communities introduces a kind of disaster, its causes and effects. It tells people what to do before, during and after the disaster.

The accident happened when he tried to make a hole in leather with a sharp tool, which slipped and hurt his left eye badly and lost its sight. Soon after, his right eye also lost its sight due to an infection of optic neuritis (视神经炎). Eventually, he became completely blind. At first, life was scary and challenging for him, but with his family’s love, he soon learned to feel his way around the house and memorize the positions of everything with his hands. His father, Simon-René, encouraged him not to give up on reading and made a special nail board with alphabet bumps for him to touch and recognize letters. Later, Louis was sent to the world’s first school for blind children in Paris. There, he was excited to read books with stamped letters (凸印文字) and quickly finished every book in the school library. When Captain Barbier visited the school and showed a dot-based writing system for soldiers and the blind, Louis found its 12 dots per symbol too complex and realized it lacked numbers and musical notes, so he decided to improve it. During the summer holidays, Louis worked diligently on a new system under a shady tree in his backyard. He simplified the design to 6 dots, arranged in two columns of three (两列三行), which fit perfectly under a fingertip and could represent letters, numbers and various symbols. At 15, he proudly presented his creation to his teachers and Captain Barbier, who were all amazed by his clever idea. Louis’ 6-dot system was an immediate hit among his classmates. They happily used it to write poems and dreamed of reading novels printed with these dots. Little did Louis know that his small invention would one day change the world for blind people everywhere. He smiled softly, thinking to himself, “________” Task 1: Answer the questions. 1．Why did Louis become totally blind? 2．What did Louis’ father make to help him learn to read? 3．What was the problem with Captain Barbier’s writing system? 4．How many dots did Louis use in his new writing system? 5．What’s the main idea of the passage? Task 2: 6．Based on Louis’s story, write down what he was thinking to himself. Write sentences in about 30 words. 【答案】1．Because a sharp tool slipped and hurt his left eye when he was three, and soon after, his right eye also lost its sight due to an infection of optic neuritis. 2．His father made a special nail board with alphabet bumps for him to touch and recognize letters. 3．It had 12 dots per symbol, which was too complex, and it lacked numbers and musical notes. 4．He used 6 dots in his new writing system. 5．It tells how Louis, a blind boy, created a simple dot-based writing system that would help blind people around the world. 6．If this dot system helps blind people read easily, I hope it can bring the pleasure of reading to every blind person around the world. 【导语】本文讲述了盲童路易斯失明的原因、父亲的帮助，以及他改进巴比耶上尉的点字系统，发明6点盲文的故事。 1．第1段提到“a sharp tool slipped and hurt his left eye...his right eye also lost its sight due to an infection of optic neuritis”，原文信息，可直接提取答案。 2．第2段指出“His father...made a special nail board with alphabet bumps for him to touch and recognize letters”，原文信息，可直接提取答案。 3．第3段提到“its 12 dots per symbol too complex and it lacked numbers and musical notes”，原文信息，可直接提取答案。 4．第4段明确“He simplified the design to 6 dots”，原文信息，可直接提取答案。 5．全文围绕盲童路易斯发明6点盲文、帮助全球盲人展开，核心是他创造盲文的经历。 6．结合路易斯的发明初衷，可推测他的想法：If this dot system helps blind people read easily, I hope it can bring the pleasure of reading to every blind person around the world. 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 Family money is something that everyone, including teenagers, should understand.

He even watched The Red Detachment of Women ballet show in the early 1960s over 10 times. However, Liu never really got the chance to practise it. That was because he grew up in a poor family in a village. He ended up becoming a farmer and working as a street cleaner. But he never gave up his love for ballet. And at age 53, he decided to become a ballet dancer. “One day, I saw a ballet training course (课程) on TV. This gave me the idea that I should try to learn to dance,” Liu said. Becoming a ballet dancer at age 53 wasn’t an easy thing. Most of his friends just didn’t understand why he put himself through this difficult training at his age, but Liu Ziqing didn’t care about them at all. During the course of learning ballet, staying in good shape (体形) was the most difficult. Liu sometimes has to sleep in a leg press position (姿势) to make him strong. Luckily, his family is always on his side. Ballet gives Liu a lot. “In the past, I had stomach problems. Now, after ten years of dancing, I don’t have those problems,” Liu said. “When I take classes with those young students, I feel young again,” he added. “I am now doing what I wanted to do when I was young.” 1．Why did Liu never get the chance to practise ballet when he was a little boy? 2．When did Liu decide to become a ballet dancer? 3．What was the most difficult for Liu during the course of learning ballet? 4．How did Liu feel when taking ballet courses? 5．Do you think it’s ever too late to start a new hobby?

But what if the car could drive itself? That future may not be far away. Self-driving cars, also known as autonomous vehicles (AVs), use sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence to navigate roads with little or no human input. Companies like Waymo and Tesla have already tested thousands of self-driving cars on public roads. The benefits of self-driving cars could be huge. First, they promise to make roads much safer. According to studies, over 90% of car accidents are caused by human errors such as distracted driving or speeding. Self-driving cars don’t get tired, drunk, or distracted. They follow traffic rules strictly. Second, they could help people who cannot drive themselves——such as the elderly or people with disabilities——gain more independence. “For millions of people with disabilities, self-driving cars promise newfound freedom,” said one expert. However, there are still many challenges. The technology is very expensive, and not everyone can afford it. Many people also worry about safety. Can we really trust a computer to make life-or-death decisions on the road? Moreover, if self-driving cars become common, millions of professional drivers——such as taxi drivers and truck drivers——might lose their jobs. Some experts believe that fully self-driving cars will be on our roads within the next ten years. Others say it will take much longer. One thing is certain: self-driving cars will change the way we travel, work, and live. The question is not if they will arrive, but when. 1．What do self-driving cars use to navigate roads? 2．According to studies, what causes most car accidents? 3．Why could self-driving cars be especially helpful to elderly or disabled people? 4．What is the possible disadvantage of self-driving cars mentioned in the passage?

Is it possible to live without money? Everyone knows that money is important. We use it every day to buy food, clothes, and other things we need. But can a person live without it? Mark Boyle, a writer from Ireland, wanted to find out the answer. So, he decided to live without money for a time. Mark found an old caravan (旅行拖车), repaired it, and parked it on a farm near Bristol, working as a volunteer so that he could stay for free. Since he couldn’t pay for electricity, he had to live without it. He used a wood-burning stove (火炉) to keep warm, made from parts he found in a rubbish bin. Mark also built a simple stove using old olive oil cans so that he could cook food. Because it wasn’t safe to use indoors, he cooked outdoors—even in winter. At first, he didn’t like the idea. But later, he enjoyed cooking outside, saying it helped him feel more connected to nature. Before starting, he bought solar panels to power a small light, his laptop and a phone—but only to receive calls. In winter, with little sunlight, he planned his online time carefully. Food was his main concern (担忧) at first, but he managed by growing vegetables and collecting wild mushrooms, nuts and berries. To keep clean, Mark built an outdoor toilet and used newspaper. He washed in a river or with a solar shower, but he didn’t use soap. He brushed his teeth with wild seeds. Life without money took time and effort—washing clothes by hand and finding food daily, but Mark said, “We spend so much time getting and spending money. I’d rather spend time living.” Task1: Answer the questions. 1．What did Mark Boyle decide to do? 2．Where did he live during his life without money? 3．Without electricity, how did he cook his food safely? 4．Why did Mark need to plan his online time carefully in winter? 5．What does the underlined sentence mean? Task 2: 6．If Mark continues to live like this for a long time, what will his life be like? Write in about 30 words. (写30个词左右。) 【答案】1．He decided to live without money for a time. 2．He lived in an old caravan on a farm near Bristol. 3．He built a simple stove using old olive oil cans and cooked outdoors. 4．Because in winter, there was little sunlight, so the solar panels couldn’t provide enough power for his online activities. 5．It means that people usually spend a lot of time on earning and spending money, while Mark prefers to spend time on actually living. 6．His life will be simple and close to nature. He’ll keep growing food, using natural resources, and spending more time enjoying life rather than chasing money. 【导语】本文主要讲述了来自爱尔兰的作家Mark Boyle想要探寻不使用金钱是否能生活下去，于是他决定在一段时间内不使用金钱生活，详细介绍了他在不使用金钱情况下的生活状况以及他的感悟。 1．第一段明确提到“So, he decided to live without money for a time.”，所以答案是原文直接信息。 2．第二段指出“Mark found an old caravan (旅行拖车), repaired it, and parked it on a farm near Bristol, working as a volunteer so that he could stay for free.”，说明他住在布里斯托尔附近农场的一个旧旅行拖车里，这是原文中的具体表述，直接提取。 3．第三段表明“Mark also built a simple stove using old olive oil cans so that he could cook food. Because it wasn’t safe to use indoors, he cooked outdoors—even in winter.”，即他用旧橄榄油罐做了一个简易炉灶并在户外做饭，这是原文直接信息。 4．第四段提到“In winter, with little sunlight, he planned his online time carefully.”，结合前文他靠太阳能板供电，可知冬天阳光少，太阳能板无法为他的上网活动提供足够电力，所以答案是基于原文信息的合理推导。 5．最后一段“We spend so much time getting and spending money. I’d rather spend time living.”意思是人们通常花大量时间在赚钱和花钱上，而Mark更愿意花时间真正地生活，这是对句子含义的准确理解。 6．开放题，答案不唯一。需结合文中Mark不使用金钱时的生活情况，如自己种植食物、利用自然资源等，合理推测他长期这样生活的样子并给出合理描述即可。 根据短文内容，回答问题。 Among the most famous traditional Chinese paintings, there’s a very long handscroll of horses titled One Hundred Horses. To many people’s surprise, it was painted not by a Chinese artist but by an Italian named Giuseppe Castiglione. Castiglione was better known in China by his Chinese name, Lang Shining (郎世宁). He was born in 1688 in Milan, Italy. In 1715, he traveled to Beijing. With experience as a muralist, he was invited to work as a court artist. Seven years later, Emperor Yongzheng came to power. By then, Castiglione had already made a name for himself. He was famous for a unique style that combined Western and Chinese painting methods. In 1724, Yongzheng asked him to paint One Hundred Horses, a silk handscroll nearly eight meters long. Painting on silk is no easy task. Once a brushstroke is placed, there is no going back. Castiglione first practiced on paper. After carefully planning every detail, he copied the design onto silk, stroke by stroke. It took Castiglione four years to finish the painting. There is no record of how Emperor Yongzheng viewed it. But the following emperor, Qianlong, was deeply impressed and called the painting a masterpiece. As its title suggests, One Hundred Horses shows about 100 horses in various poses (姿势). Some stand quietly, while others run, walk, drink water, roll on the ground or even fight. The painting’s large size alone is enough to impress most viewers. A closer look, however, may surprise you further. Castiglione skillfully combined Western realism with Chinese brushwork. The trees, horses and people appear lifelike, yet they were all painted with a Chinese brush. In One Hundred Horses, humans and nature live side by side in peace, and so do Eastern and Western beauty. Perhaps this perfect balance is why Emperor Qianlong liked it so much. 1．What was Castiglione famous for? 2．When did Castiglione finish drawing One Hundred Horses? 3．Why did Castiglione practice painting One Hundred Horses on paper rather than silk? 4．What makes One Hundred Horses a masterpiece? (There should be more than one point.) 5．Please appreciate the painting from the four aspects. (Look-What can you see? Feel-How does it make you feel? Think-What do you think of it? Discover-What else do you want to know about it?) 【答案】1．A unique style combining Western and Chinese painting methods. 2．In 3. 4．Because painting on silk can’t be corrected once started, so he practiced on paper to plan details first. 5．It shows about 100 horses in various poses and combined Western realism with Chinese brushwork. 6．Look: 100 horses in different poses, plus trees and people. Feel: Amazed by the lifelike details and peaceful vibe. Think: A brilliant mix of Eastern and Western art. Discover: How he balanced the two painting styles. 【导语】本文讲述了意大利画家郎世宁，融合中西技法创作《百骏图》的故事。 1．文章指出“He was famous for a unique style that combined Western and Chinese painting methods.”，郎世宁以融合了中西绘画技法的独特风格而闻名。 2．文章指出“In 1724, Yongzheng asked him to paint One Hundred Horses, a silk handscroll nearly eight meters long.”和“It took Castiglione four years to finish the painting.”，1724年他开始作画，耗时四年完成，1724+4=1728。 3．文章指出“Painting on silk is no easy task. Once a brushstroke is placed, there is no going back. Castiglione first practiced on paper. After carefully planning every detail, he copied the design onto silk, stroke by stroke.”，在丝绸上作画一旦落笔就无法修改，难度很高，所以他先在纸上练习，以便精心规划每一个细节。 4．根据文中描述，《百骏图》之所以是杰作，既因为它宏大的篇幅与生动的形象，也因为它巧妙融合了中西绘画技法，还体现了人与自然、东西方审美的和谐平衡。 5．按“Look-Feel-Think-Discover”四步，结合文本做简洁作答，答案不唯一，合理即可。 Parents and children often face the challenges of money. Common topics include setting the pocket money, learning to save, and deciding on expensive purchases. The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely. The goal of most kids is getting money to spend. How can families balance these goals? “All parents hope they’ll raise a money-savvy (善于理财的) kid, who’ll grow up to be an adult wise in their money use, “says financial (金融的) planner Peg Eddy. The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own. The Tidler family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids earn some. Their son, Ryan has made $7,800 by helping with his parents’ garden. Besides, he bought a bike and a wonderful sound system. And he is going to buy a car next year. Ryan has come to see the value in making his own money even when other kids are given money by their parents. Learn Now, Save Later Money skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult. David Brady, another financial planner, says, “Young people today will have much more responsibility for their financial future than their parents or grandparents.” Experts say, knowing how to manage money is the best way for kids to get what they really want. That means long- term planning and saving for big expenses like college or a car. It also means thinking of others, by making donations to charity. Brady does remind kids. “They shouldn’t be thinking about money all the time,” he says. However, they should understand basic rules for earning, saving and investing (投资). That knowledge is greatly needed. Over the past years, the average credit card debt of Americans ages 18 to 24 doubled, to nearly $3,000. Among high school students, four out of five have never taken a personal finance class. Talking About It Many kids want to learn how to manage their money. But parents think only about what kids shouldn’t do. They argue that kids are young and inexperienced, they may easily get in debt if they manage their own money. Giselle Lopez, 17, of New York City, learned the hard way. She was over $2,000 in debt on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job. Then she paid the debt off slowly herself. “Now every time I use it, I know that it comes from my own pocket,” Giselle says. “That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions.” Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money. Teaching them how to use money doesn’t have to mean setting strict rules. When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider, they can learn to set those rules themselves. 1．What is the main goal of most parents when it comes to their kids and money? 2．According to financial planner Peg Eddy, what is the key to raising a money-savvy kid? 3．How did Ryan from the Tidler family earn his money? 4．What does David Brady say about young people’s responsibility for their financial future? 5．Why did Giselle Lopez get a job? 6．After finally paying off  her credit card debt, how would Giselle plan her future spending to avoid falling into debt again? (no more than 30 words) 【答案】1．The main goal is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely. 2．The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own. 3．He earned money by helping with his parents’ garden. 4．Young people will have much more responsibility than their parents or grandparents. 5．Because she was in credit card debt and her parents refused to pay for her. 6．After clearing her debt, Giselle would allocate income first to an emergency fund, then manage all other spending with a strict budget. 【导语】本文主要探讨了家长如何帮助孩子学会理财，并通过多个案例说明了让孩子拥有和管理自己的钱的重要性。 1．第一段“The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely”直接说明了大多数家长的主要目标是教孩子明智地管理钱，这是原文中的信息，直接提取。 2．第二段金融规划师Peg Eddy说“The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own”直接说明了培养善于理财的孩子的关键是让孩子拥有一些自己的钱去学习，这是原文中的信息，直接提取。 3．第三段“Their son, Ryan has made $7,800 by helping with his parents’ garden”直接说明了Ryan通过帮父母打理花园赚钱，这是原文中的信息，直接提取。 4．第四段David Brady说“Young people today will have much more responsibility for their financial future than their parents or grandparents”直接说明了年轻人对自己的财务未来会比父母或祖父母承担更多责任，这是原文中的信息，直接提取。 5．第七段“Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job”直接说明了Giselle因为父母拒绝替她还债而去工作，这是原文中的因果信息，直接提取。 6．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一。可结合文中理财建议进行合理规划，言之成理即可。 2 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 27 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 期末复习之阅读回答问题15篇 （押题预测，Units 1-6） 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练5篇 Sirish Subash, a 14-year-old student from Snellville, Georgia, US, recently won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge. He made a tool that can find pesticides (农药) on fruits and vegetables. This won him $25,000 (about180,000 yuan) and the title of “Best Young Scientist in America”. Subash’s idea for the tool came from a simple yet important question. His mother always told him to wash fruit before eating it. The boy wondered if the action did any good. He learned that 70 percent of fruits and vegetables have pesticides. They can bring health problems like cancer. Washing only gets away part of the pesticides. “If we could find them, we could avoid eating them and lower the risk of those health problems,” Subash said. This led Subash to invent PestiSCAND, a small tool that people can carry around. It works by shining lights and seeing how light reflects (反射) off food. With the help of a sensor (传感器), a screen and an AI learning model, the tool can find out if there are pesticides around. To use it, users must point PestiSCAND at the fruit or vegetable to see if they need to wash it again. They can use an app on phones to check the results. During testing, PestiSCAND was right more than 85 percent of the time in finding pesticides. Subash plans to improve his tool and hopes to get it to market by the time he starts college. His love for science will never go away. “In 15 years, I hope to be designing and building devices (设备) that can help make the world a better place,” said Subash. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．How old is Sirish Subash? 2．What does Subash’s idea come from? 3．Why are pesticides bad for our health? 4．How can people check the testing results? 5．What do you think makes Subash successful? 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每题答案不超过8个单词, 最后一题词数不限。 Zhang Xue Motorcycles, also called ZXMOTO (张雪机车), is a famous Chinese motorcycle brand. It was set up in April 2024 in Chongqing, China. The founder is Zhang Xue, a motorcycle racer and engineer, who has rich experience in motorcycle racing and designing new motorcycles. ZXMOTO is a company that does research, makes, sells high-performance motorcycles and also joins in racing competitions. Its slogan is “Extreme and Passion”. The company has a large team of over 100 workers, and more than 80% of them are researchers. Most of the researchers have worked in famous motorcycle companies before, like Yamaha and Kawasaki. ZXMOTO has two star models. One is the 820RR, a high-performance sports motorcycle. It has the 819cc engine (引擎), with 135 horsepower. It can speed up from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds. The other is the 500RR, a smaller sports motorcycle with a 500cc four-cylinder (四缸的) engine. Both have high-tech systems like ABS and TCS for safety. In March 2026, ZXMOTO made history. It won two championships at the World Superbike Championship (WSBK) in Portugal. This was the first time a Chinese motorcycle brand won in this top international race. It broke the 37-year-long dominance (称霸) of the race by European, American and Japanese brands. People love ZXMOTO because of its high-quality motorcycles and the spirit behind its success. From ZXMOTO’s story, we learn that true love, hard work and creative spirit are key to making great products. If we keep making great efforts, taking on challenges, and improving our work, Chinese brands will surely become better and better in the world. 1．When and where was ZXMOTO set up? 2．What is the slogan of ZXMOTO?    3．How long does it take the 820RR to speed up from 0 to 100 km/h?   4．Did any Chinese motorcycle brand win in WSBK before 2026?     5．Do you like ZXMOTO? Why?   The changing clothes: a story of fashion What we wear every day is more than just clothes. It tells a story about our time, our culture, and even our technology. Fashion in China has changed greatly over the years, showing how people’s lives and ideas have  developed. In ancient times, clothing style in China was stable for centuries. People wore traditional clothes like hanfu. The  style, colour, and material of clothes could often tell a person’s social status. For example, bright yellow was often only for the emperor and his family. In the early 20th century, things began to change quickly. The cheongsam (qipao) became popular for women. It mixed traditional Chinese elements with a more modern, fitted silhouette (剪影) Meanwhile, Western-style suits and dresses started to appear in big cities like Shanghai, showing the beginning of global influence on Chinese fashion. After the 1980s, with China’s reform and opening-up, young people began to have more choices. They were  crazy about new ideas from abroad. Blue jeans, T-shirts, and sunglasses became symbols of being modern and free. People started to use clothes to express their individuality, not just to follow tradition. In the 21st century, fashion has become highly diverse and fast-paced. Thanks to the Internet and fast fashion brands, trends change very quickly. A style popular in Paris or Seoul can be seen on the streets of Beijing or Chengdu in just a few weeks. Platforms like Xiaohongshu and TikTok allow everyone to be both a fashion follower and a  trendsetter. Today, people are also thinking more about what’s behind the clothes. The ideas of sustainable fashion and “vintage” style are becoming popular. This means people are paying more attention to protecting the environment and appreciating classic styles that last longer than just one season. Looking into the future, fashion will likely continue to mix technology with personal expression. Maybe we will have smart clothes that can change colour or monitor our health. One thing is for sure: fashion will keep reflecting  who we are and the world we live in.Task 1: 1．What could the clothes tell about a person in ancient China? 2．What happened to fashion after the 1980s in China? 3．What makes fashion trends change so quickly in the 21st century? 4．What are the two popular ideas in fashion today mentioned in the passage?

According to weather reports, winds hit over 130 km/h as strong as a tropical (热带的) storm in mountain areas of Beijing and Hebei, while flat areas experienced winds of 90—110 km/h. This kind of storm is very unusual for April, and it lasted for more than 48 hours, knocking down street signs and making airplanes to cancel (取消) flights. Besides strong winds, the storm carried thick sand and dust (尘土) from Mongolia and China’s northwest deserts. They make the sky dark, making it look like nighttime during the day. In cities like Beijing and Tianjin, the air pollution (污染) got to the worst level possible. People had to wear masks not only for health protection but also to keep off polluted air. Schools closed, parks shut down, and delivery services received many orders as people stayed indoors. The storm caused many dangers, including: * Falling signs * Flying rubbish and branches * Overturned trucks on highways Scientists warned that the wind was strong enough to lift small cars. At the same time, heavy snowstorms in Inner Mongolia made the situation even worse. How did people stay safe? Scientists gave the following advice: ☆Stay indoors ☆Close windows tightly ☆Move light items inside 1．What was the speed of wind in flat areas according to Paragraph 1? 2．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to? 3．Why did people have to wear masks in Beijing and Tianjin? 4．What dangers did the storm cause according to the text? 5．What will you do to keep safe if there is a storm in your city? (At least 4 tips) The essence of true friendship Friendship is one of the most precious gifts life has to offer. It is a bond that transcends time, distance, and circumstance. True friendship is not about how often you meet or how much you give; it is about the depth of understanding, the strength of support, and the warmth of unconditional love. A true friend is someone who stands by you through thick and thin. They are the ones who celebrate your successes as if they were their own and who offer a shoulder to lean on during your darkest hours. True friends listen without judgment, speak with honesty, and act with kindness. They are the mirrors that reflect your true self and the anchors that keep you grounded. Friendship is also about shared experiences and memories. It is the laughter that echoes in your heart long after the moment has passed, and the stories that become legends over time. Whether it’s a spontaneous (自发的) adventure, a heartfelt conversation, or a simple act of kindness, these moments, weave the fabric of a lasting friendship. In a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain, true friendship provides a sanctuary of peace and stability. It is a reminder that we are not alone, that there are people who care deeply about us and who will walk beside us no matter what. So cherish your friends, for they are the treasures of your life. Nurture your friendships with time, attention, and love. And remember, the best kind of friendship is the one that makes you a better person, the one that inspires you to grow, to dream, and to be the best version of yourself. 1．What is friendship compared to in the passage? 2．What is true friendship about, according to the passage? 3．What will a true friend do when you succeed? 4．What role do true friends play in your life? 5．What should we do to keep our friendships lasting?

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.

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? Lily is my deskmate and one of my closest friends. She has a warm heart and is always ready to help others. Last term, our school held an English speech contest, and I was nervous to take part in it because I was afraid of speaking in front of a large crowd. When Lily knew my worry, she encouraged me to take part in it. She said, “You have a good English pronunciation. Just believe in yourself! I will practise with you every day.” From that day on, we practised together after school. Lily listened to my speeches carefully and pointed out my mistakes patiently. She also taught me some skills to relax before speaking, like taking deep breaths. On the day of the contest, I still felt a little nervous. Lily held my hand and said, “Take it easy. You’ve practised so hard, and you will do well.” Her words made me feel much more confident. When I stood on the stage, I looked at Lily in the audience. She smiled at me and gave me a thumbs-up. With her support, I finished my speech smoothly. Finally, I won the third prize. I ran to Lily and hugged her tightly. “Thank you, Lily! I couldn’t have done it without you,” I said. Lily laughed and replied, “You’re welcome. I’m so proud of you!” This experience made me realise that a true friend will always support you when you need help. 1．What event made the writer feel nervous last term? 2．How did Lily help the writer prepare for the English speech contest? 3．What skill did Lily teach the writer to relax before speaking? 4．What did Lily do to encourage the writer on the contest day? 5．What did the writer realise from this experience? 6．Suppose you are the writer, please continue the story in no more than 30 words. (Hint: What did the writer and Lily do after the contest?) Writing a news report about natural disasters is a useful skill. A good news report has clear structure and correct facts. It usually includes a headline, lead paragraph, body and ending. The headline is short and tells the main event. The lead paragraph comes first. It answers the key questions: what, when, where, who and why. The body gives more details about the disaster, such as damage, death number and rescue work. The ending tells about future plans or rebuilding. When you write a news report, you should use past tense for the event and present perfect tense for rescue work. You should write in the third person and give true information. Do not add your own feelings. Making a leaflet is also helpful. A disaster leaflet for communities introduces a kind of disaster, its causes and effects. It tells people what to do before, during and after the disaster. It often uses clear pictures and simple language so everyone can understand easily. Leaflets can be put up in communities, schools and hospitals. They help people learn safety knowledge quickly. Good leaflets can save lives when disasters come.Task 1 回答问题 1．What does a good news report include? 2．What does the lead paragraph answer? 3．What tenses should we use in a news report? 4．What does a community disaster leaflet tell people? 5．Where can we put up disaster leaflets?

The accident happened when he tried to make a hole in leather with a sharp tool, which slipped and hurt his left eye badly and lost its sight. Soon after, his right eye also lost its sight due to an infection of optic neuritis (视神经炎). Eventually, he became completely blind. At first, life was scary and challenging for him, but with his family’s love, he soon learned to feel his way around the house and memorize the positions of everything with his hands. His father, Simon-René, encouraged him not to give up on reading and made a special nail board with alphabet bumps for him to touch and recognize letters. Later, Louis was sent to the world’s first school for blind children in Paris. There, he was excited to read books with stamped letters (凸印文字) and quickly finished every book in the school library. When Captain Barbier visited the school and showed a dot-based writing system for soldiers and the blind, Louis found its 12 dots per symbol too complex and realized it lacked numbers and musical notes, so he decided to improve it. During the summer holidays, Louis worked diligently on a new system under a shady tree in his backyard. He simplified the design to 6 dots, arranged in two columns of three (两列三行), which fit perfectly under a fingertip and could represent letters, numbers and various symbols. At 15, he proudly presented his creation to his teachers and Captain Barbier, who were all amazed by his clever idea. Louis’ 6-dot system was an immediate hit among his classmates. They happily used it to write poems and dreamed of reading novels printed with these dots. Little did Louis know that his small invention would one day change the world for blind people everywhere. He smiled softly, thinking to himself, “________” Task 1: Answer the questions. 1．Why did Louis become totally blind? 2．What did Louis’ father make to help him learn to read? 3．What was the problem with Captain Barbier’s writing system? 4．How many dots did Louis use in his new writing system? 5．What’s the main idea of the passage? Task 2: 6．Based on Louis’s story, write down what he was thinking to himself.

He even watched The Red Detachment of Women ballet show in the early 1960s over 10 times. However, Liu never really got the chance to practise it. That was because he grew up in a poor family in a village. He ended up becoming a farmer and working as a street cleaner. But he never gave up his love for ballet. And at age 53, he decided to become a ballet dancer. “One day, I saw a ballet training course (课程) on TV. This gave me the idea that I should try to learn to dance,” Liu said. Becoming a ballet dancer at age 53 wasn’t an easy thing. Most of his friends just didn’t understand why he put himself through this difficult training at his age, but Liu Ziqing didn’t care about them at all. During the course of learning ballet, staying in good shape (体形) was the most difficult. Liu sometimes has to sleep in a leg press position (姿势) to make him strong. Luckily, his family is always on his side. Ballet gives Liu a lot. “In the past, I had stomach problems. Now, after ten years of dancing, I don’t have those problems,” Liu said. “When I take classes with those young students, I feel young again,” he added. “I am now doing what I wanted to do when I was young.” 1．Why did Liu never get the chance to practise ballet when he was a little boy? 2．When did Liu decide to become a ballet dancer? 3．What was the most difficult for Liu during the course of learning ballet? 4．How did Liu feel when taking ballet courses? 5．Do you think it’s ever too late to start a new hobby?

That future may not be far away. Self-driving cars, also known as autonomous vehicles (AVs), use sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence to navigate roads with little or no human input. Companies like Waymo and Tesla have already tested thousands of self-driving cars on public roads. The benefits of self-driving cars could be huge. First, they promise to make roads much safer. According to studies, over 90% of car accidents are caused by human errors such as distracted driving or speeding. Self-driving cars don’t get tired, drunk, or distracted. They follow traffic rules strictly. Second, they could help people who cannot drive themselves——such as the elderly or people with disabilities——gain more independence. “For millions of people with disabilities, self-driving cars promise newfound freedom,” said one expert. However, there are still many challenges. The technology is very expensive, and not everyone can afford it. Many people also worry about safety. Can we really trust a computer to make life-or-death decisions on the road? Moreover, if self-driving cars become common, millions of professional drivers——such as taxi drivers and truck drivers——might lose their jobs. Some experts believe that fully self-driving cars will be on our roads within the next ten years. Others say it will take much longer. One thing is certain: self-driving cars will change the way we travel, work, and live. The question is not if they will arrive, but when. 1．What do self-driving cars use to navigate roads? 2．According to studies, what causes most car accidents? 3．Why could self-driving cars be especially helpful to elderly or disabled people? 4．What is the possible disadvantage of self-driving cars mentioned in the passage? (List ONLY ONE) 5．Is the author certain that self-driving cars will become common in the future? 6．Task 2: Do you think self-driving cars are a good invention? Please write down your own understanding. (About 30 words) Is it possible to live without money? Everyone knows that money is important. We use it every day to buy food, clothes, and other things we need. But can a person live without it? Mark Boyle, a writer from Ireland, wanted to find out the answer. So, he decided to live without money for a time. Mark found an old caravan (旅行拖车), repaired it, and parked it on a farm near Bristol, working as a volunteer so that he could stay for free. Since he couldn’t pay for electricity, he had to live without it. He used a wood-burning stove (火炉) to keep warm, made from parts he found in a rubbish bin. Mark also built a simple stove using old olive oil cans so that he could cook food. Because it wasn’t safe to use indoors, he cooked outdoors—even in winter. At first, he didn’t like the idea. But later, he enjoyed cooking outside, saying it helped him feel more connected to nature. Before starting, he bought solar panels to power a small light, his laptop and a phone—but only to receive calls. In winter, with little sunlight, he planned his online time carefully. Food was his main concern (担忧) at first, but he managed by growing vegetables and collecting wild mushrooms, nuts and berries. To keep clean, Mark built an outdoor toilet and used newspaper. He washed in a river or with a solar shower, but he didn’t use soap. He brushed his teeth with wild seeds. Life without money took time and effort—washing clothes by hand and finding food daily, but Mark said, “We spend so much time getting and spending money. I’d rather spend time living.” Task1: Answer the questions. 1．What did Mark Boyle decide to do? 2．Where did he live during his life without money? 3．Without electricity, how did he cook his food safely? 4．Why did Mark need to plan his online time carefully in winter? 5．What does the underlined sentence mean? Task 2: 6．If Mark continues to live like this for a long time, what will his life be like? Write in about 30 words. (写30个词左右。) 根据短文内容，回答问题。 Among the most famous traditional Chinese paintings, there’s a very long handscroll of horses titled One Hundred Horses. To many people’s surprise, it was painted not by a Chinese artist but by an Italian named Giuseppe Castiglione. Castiglione was better known in China by his Chinese name, Lang Shining (郎世宁). He was born in 1688 in Milan, Italy. In 1715, he traveled to Beijing. With experience as a muralist, he was invited to work as a court artist. Seven years later, Emperor Yongzheng came to power. By then, Castiglione had already made a name for himself. He was famous for a unique style that combined Western and Chinese painting methods. In 1724, Yongzheng asked him to paint One Hundred Horses, a silk handscroll nearly eight meters long. Painting on silk is no easy task. Once a brushstroke is placed, there is no going back. Castiglione first practiced on paper. After carefully planning every detail, he copied the design onto silk, stroke by stroke. It took Castiglione four years to finish the painting. There is no record of how Emperor Yongzheng viewed it. But the following emperor, Qianlong, was deeply impressed and called the painting a masterpiece. As its title suggests, One Hundred Horses shows about 100 horses in various poses (姿势). Some stand quietly, while others run, walk, drink water, roll on the ground or even fight. The painting’s large size alone is enough to impress most viewers. A closer look, however, may surprise you further. Castiglione skillfully combined Western realism with Chinese brushwork. The trees, horses and people appear lifelike, yet they were all painted with a Chinese brush. In One Hundred Horses, humans and nature live side by side in peace, and so do Eastern and Western beauty. Perhaps this perfect balance is why Emperor Qianlong liked it so much. 1．What was Castiglione famous for? 2．When did Castiglione finish drawing One Hundred Horses? 3．Why did Castiglione practice painting One Hundred Horses on paper rather than silk? 4．What makes One Hundred Horses a masterpiece? (There should be more than one point.) 5．Please appreciate the painting from the four aspects. (Look-What can you see? Feel-How does it make you feel? Think-What do you think of it? Discover-What else do you want to know about it?) Parents and children often face the challenges of money. Common topics include setting the pocket money, learning to save, and deciding on expensive purchases. The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely. The goal of most kids is getting money to spend. How can families balance these goals? “All parents hope they’ll raise a money-savvy (善于理财的) kid, who’ll grow up to be an adult wise in their money use, “says financial (金融的) planner Peg Eddy. The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own. The Tidler family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids earn some. Their son, Ryan has made $7,800 by helping with his parents’ garden. Besides, he bought a bike and a wonderful sound system. And he is going to buy a car next year. Ryan has come to see the value in making his own money even when other kids are given money by their parents. Learn Now, Save Later Money skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult. David Brady, another financial planner, says, “Young people today will have much more responsibility for their financial future than their parents or grandparents.” Experts say, knowing how to manage money is the best way for kids to get what they really want. That means long- term planning and saving for big expenses like college or a car. It also means thinking of others, by making donations to charity. Brady does remind kids. “They shouldn’t be thinking about money all the time,” he says. However, they should understand basic rules for earning, saving and investing (投资). That knowledge is greatly needed. Over the past years, the average credit card debt of Americans ages 18 to 24 doubled, to nearly $3,000. Among high school students, four out of five have never taken a personal finance class. Talking About It Many kids want to learn how to manage their money. But parents think only about what kids shouldn’t do. They argue that kids are young and inexperienced, they may easily get in debt if they manage their own money. Giselle Lopez, 17, of New York City, learned the hard way. She was over $2,000 in debt on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job. Then she paid the debt off slowly herself. “Now every time I use it, I know that it comes from my own pocket,” Giselle says. “That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions.” Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money. Teaching them how to use money doesn’t have to mean setting strict rules. When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider, they can learn to set those rules themselves. 1．What is the main goal of most parents when it comes to their kids and money? 2．According to financial planner Peg Eddy, what is the key to raising a money-savvy kid? 3．How did Ryan from the Tidler family earn his money? 4．What does David Brady say about young people’s responsibility for their financial future? 5．Why did Giselle Lopez get a job? 6．After finally paying off  her credit card debt, how would Giselle plan her future spending to avoid falling into debt again?
