Passage 1
There are many libraries in Britain. Let’s learn something about them.
▲Public Libraries
Most towns in Britain have a public library. A library usually has a large selection of books and other resources (资源), which library members can use and borrow without paying.
The first Britain’s public library opened in Manchester in 1852. Its first librarian was a man called Edward Edwards. Edwards attended the library’s opening ceremony (仪式) and two famous writers called Charles Dickens and William Thackeray were there, too.
▲Services(服务) of Library
Modern public libraries have something for everyone. Most of them have audio books, CDs, newspapers and DVDs as well as books to borrow. To join a library, go to your local library and fill in a form. You’ll receive a library card which is needed when using library services.
▲Mobile Libraries
Thanks to mobile libraries, some people live far away from cities and those who have an illness can still borrow books. The libraries are special. Unlike most libraries, which store (存储) books in buildings, mobile libraries usually keep their books in a mini-bus. The back of the mini-bus has shelves for the books, and it is big enough for borrowers to step inside and look around. A driver takes the mini-bus to a certain place at a certain time, so people know when to expect (期待) it and they can give their books back to mobile libraries and borrow some more.
Do you believe a school library can be as small as a bus? A school in London didn’t have space for a library inside the building. However, everybody agreed that it was still important to have a school library. So, the head of the school, Graham Blake, decided to park an old bus on the school playground and change it into a library. Students helped to paint the bus, and after eight months, the new library was ready.

Passage 2
Nowadays, job interviews are playing an important part in deciding whether a person can get a job finally. But job interviews aren’t the same all over the world. An interviewer’s “body language” and questions, and the forms of an interview can be very different from country to country.
If you’re at a job interview in Japan, don’t look directly into the eyes of the interviewer. It is considered impolite and make the interviewer unhappy. But if you’re at an interview in the US, you should make eye contact (交流) with the interviewer. If you don’t, the interviewer may think you are not sure about your ability and move your name away from the final list.
In Canada, interviewers usually don’t ask questions about personal information like family members and their jobs. In China, however, personal questions are often asked during job interviews.
In Germany, your interview might begin with a very short conversation followed by a formal (正式的) interview. The interviewee should pay special attention to the clothes he wears that day. But in Mexico, the whole interview might not be formal, which makes the interviewee think he is talking with an old friend.

Passage 3
Ghina Ghaliya of Indonesia says a stranger’s visit to her house led to a charity to help students influenced by the COVID-19. Ghaliya remembers when a rubbish collector came to her house in Jakarta, the Indonesian capital. The man asked if she had an old mobile phone that his children could use to get on the Internet. Even ugly phones were okay.
“He said it does not matter if it is an ugly one, as long as his children can use it for learning from home,” she said. “I thought there must be many people who need second-hand mobile phones out there.”
Ghaliya works for a national newspaper. Shortly after the COVID-19 hit Jakarta, she and 11 other journalists organized a group to provide food and money for poor people. They started hearing from parents who wanted their children to study online but lacked(缺乏)a way to use the Internet. Ghaliya thought of her meeting with the rubbish collector when she and her group decided to provide mobile phones to poor students.
Many of these children were not able to do face-to-face learning when the new school year started in July. When the journalists announced their charity through social media, the reaction(反应)was overwhelming. Many people donated second-hand phones, while others gave cash donations. As of November, the journalists had collected more than 200 mobile phones and donations of more than $35,000. They used the money to buy more phones. They also paid for Internet use for those needing it.
Qayran Ruby Al Maghribi had also been using his father’s mobile phone to attend three video calls a week with his teachers and get homework. But the 11-year-old boy sometimes sent his homework late because he had to wait for his father to return from work in order to get back online, which made him upset. But a big smile appeared on his face when he received the mobile phone sent by Ghaliya’s group. “I will use the phone to do online school every day,” Maghribi said.

Passage 5
Taboos (禁忌) of different people’s culture
A taboo(忌讳,禁忌) is a social action that is not allowed. Every culture in the world has its own taboos. The breaking of a taboo sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable. I learned this through my own experience.
Last weekend, Wang Lin and I showed two foreigners (外国人) around our city. Mr Singh was from India and Mr. White from US A.When I held out my left hand to shake hands with him, Mr. Singh seemed to be unhappy. Mr. White, however, was quite casual (随意). He said hello to me with a big smile and a wave of his hand.
In the evening, we stopped at a restaurant for dinner. I noticed that Mr. Singh didn’t touch the beef and Mr. White seemed not to like chickens’ claws (爪). During the meal, Wang Lin said sorry to Mr. Singh and continued to explain that we didn’t know it was a taboo in India to shake one’s left hand. Mr. Singh explained that since oxen (牛) are sacred(神圣的) in India, people don’t eat beef there. Mr. White joined in and said that it was not usual in the USA for people to eat chickens’ claws. He went on to say that Americans don’t usually get into each other’s personal (私人的) space. Marriage, job and age are their taboos. Isn’t it a good lesson to remember?
Main idea
The taboos in every country are 1 . People sometimes feel unhappy if one breaks a taboo.
Facts
In India
Indians don’t eat beef because they think oxen are sacred. It’s 2 to shake one’s left hand.
In the USA
It’s not a taboo, but Americans 3 eat chickens’ claws.
Americans don’t usually get into each other’s personal space. For example, they usually don’t ask someone else’smarriage, job or 4 .
Conclusion
If you 5 taboos, you can get on well with the people from different cultures.
Passage 6
在短文后表格中的空白处填入适当的单词 (注意:每空1个单词)。
It seems that everyone tells lies (谎话)—well, not big lies, but “white lies”. Telling white lies is not really that bad. Most of the time, people do it because they want to protect friendship or they don’t want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a party, you think it will be boring, so you say you’re busy.
Lying to make someone feel good
Often we don’t tell the truth to make someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No! You probably say, “Mmm, this is delicious!”
Lying to hide bad news
Sometimes, we don’t want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had a terrible day at work, but you don’t want your family to worry about you. So if your parents ask you about your day, you just say everything is fine.
Some ways people tell white lies
Ways
Examples
Giving 1 excuses

Lying to make someone feel good

Lying to 4 bad news
You have a terrible day, but you don’t want your family to worry about you. you may say everything went 5 if you parents ask you about your day.
Passage 7
According to several recent surveys, some people fear public speaking more than anything else. Luckily, this fear can be overcome (克服) with two simple methods: practice and using positive (正面的) energy from the audience. Practicing for a speech is important. After the task of writing the speech is complete, speakers must practice, practice, practice. The more times they practice the speech, the more comfortable they are discussing the topic. Using objects such as mirrors or video recordings as they practice can show speakers what they look and sound like to the audience. Video is very helpful as it can be watched many times, with the presenters focusing on one part at a time.
Another way is to use the audience’s positive energy. Speakers need to remember that the audience wants them to succeed. Something like a small nod or a smile from a member of the audience should give confidence to the presenters. While it is easy for nervous speakers to focus only on getting through the presentation, using the audience’s good will (意愿) helps much in making a speech better.
All in all, with proper practice and audience empathy (共鸣), it is possible to overcome the fear of public speaking and make a successful speech. So there is no need to fear speaking anymore.

If you drop a piece of fruit on your computer keyboard, will you think about eating it again? What if you drop it in the toilet? Bacteria (细菌) can live here and there, even in some unexpected places.
If you eat at your computer or sit down to surf the Internet without first washing your hands, your computer keyboard could be bad for your health. According to the US National Research Centre, the average computer carries 400 times more bacteria than a toilet bowl.
Could one of the dirtiest things in your home be right in your hand? Yes, the TV remote control. It gets dropped on the floor, put on the sofa and everyone in the house holds it. Scientists have found that around half of the tested remote controls carry the cold virus (病毒).
Don’t forget your toothbrush. Do you put it in the bathroom? Studies show that flushing (抽水冲洗) the toilet releases bacteria in the air. Bacteria can remain in the air for at least two hours. They may pollute your toothbrush. Try to keep your toothbrush far from the toilet. Make sure that it is in an upright position after each use. It’s also important to change your toothbrush every three months.
The kitchen is one of the places with the most bacteria—more than the bathroom. Dishcloths and kitchen sponges (海绵) are great places for bacteria since they are always wet after being used.
Bacteria can’t be avoided, but don’t be too afraid to touch those things. Most of bacteria are harmless. Just remember to wash your hands often. It is the most useful way to protect yourself from bacteria and viruses.

Our lives are made up of our habits, the things that we do often and almost without thinking. They are often things that are hard to stop doing. Good habits make us happy and bad habits don’t. For example, we may think eating too much junk food makes us happy but, in the future, we will be sad. Developing good habits will help us love our lives.
To form a good habit, a goal is needed. There are many habits we may want to have, like doing more exercise. Make sure your goal is accurate, for example, to run a race in six months’ time. Start small. Don’t try and do too much immediately. You might give up. Remember that the journey of 1,000 miles begins with one single step! Start with an action so small that you can’t say no. For example, run for just three minutes every day. It seems silly, but the important thing is to repeat the action and not stop! Be patient and don’t expect success immediately.
There are three elements (要素) to form a habit. Use these to help you:
*The signal to do something
Leave your running shoes by the front door. This is the signal to run.
*Doing the thing
Run for three minutes. After a week, increase to five minutes, and so on.
*A reward for doing that thing
After the run, watch your favourite TV show.

Qu discovered that the rules of frisbee were relatively simple.
The objective (目标) is to catch the frisbee in the end zone. It’s important that a thrower can’t move from the spot they caught it. A team will work together to try and get the frisbee down the field as efficiently (有效地) as possible by throwing the disc to an advancing teammate.
“For example, when you hold the frisbee, you cannot move but instead you pivot (转身) on one foot until the disc is released (松开),” Qu says. When not holding the disc, a player is free to run anywhere within the field of play to receive a pass.
Qu plays frisbee with his friends twice a week and has been to events arranged by four different clubs across the capital. The sport not only satisfies his need for exercise, but also allows him to catch up with his friends.

But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the Net bars all day and all night.

We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should go online with our teachers or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English Corner on Monday afternoon.

Passage 1
There are many libraries in Britain. Let’s learn something about them.
▲Public Libraries
Most towns in Britain have a public library. A library usually has a large selection of books and other resources (资源), which library members can use and borrow without paying.
The first Britain’s public library opened in Manchester in 1852. Its first librarian was a man called Edward Edwards. Edwards attended the library’s opening ceremony (仪式) and two famous writers called Charles Dickens and William Thackeray were there, too.
▲Services(服务) of Library
Modern public libraries have something for everyone. Most of them have audio books, CDs, newspapers and DVDs as well as books to borrow. To join a library, go to your local library and fill in a form. You’ll receive a library card which is needed when using library services.
▲Mobile Libraries
Thanks to mobile libraries, some people live far away from cities and those who have an illness can still borrow books. The libraries are special. Unlike most libraries, which store (存储) books in buildings, mobile libraries usually keep their books in a mini-bus. The back of the mini-bus has shelves for the books, and it is big enough for borrowers to step inside and look around. A driver takes the mini-bus to a certain place at a certain time, so people know when to expect (期待) it and they can give their books back to mobile libraries and borrow some more.
Do you believe a school library can be as small as a bus? A school in London didn’t have space for a library inside the building. However, everybody agreed that it was still important to have a school library. So, the head of the school, Graham Blake, decided to park an old bus on the school playground and change it into a library. Students helped to paint the bus, and after eight months, the new library was ready.

Passage 3
Ghina Ghaliya of Indonesia says a stranger’s visit to her house led to a charity to help students influenced by the COVID-19. Ghaliya remembers when a rubbish collector came to her house in Jakarta, the Indonesian capital. The man asked if she had an old mobile phone that his children could use to get on the Internet. Even ugly phones were okay.
“He said it does not matter if it is an ugly one, as long as his children can use it for learning from home,” she said. “I thought there must be many people who need second-hand mobile phones out there.”
Ghaliya works for a national newspaper. Shortly after the COVID-19 hit Jakarta, she and 11 other journalists organized a group to provide food and money for poor people. They started hearing from parents who wanted their children to study online but lacked(缺乏)a way to use the Internet. Ghaliya thought of her meeting with the rubbish collector when she and her group decided to provide mobile phones to poor students.
Many of these children were not able to do face-to-face learning when the new school year started in July. When the journalists announced their charity through social media, the reaction(反应)was overwhelming. Many people donated second-hand phones, while others gave cash donations. As of November, the journalists had collected more than 200 mobile phones and donations of more than $35,000. They used the money to buy more phones. They also paid for Internet use for those needing it.
Qayran Ruby Al Maghribi had also been using his father’s mobile phone to attend three video calls a week with his teachers and get homework. But the 11-year-old boy sometimes sent his homework late because he had to wait for his father to return from work in order to get back online, which made him upset. But a big smile appeared on his face when he received the mobile phone sent by Ghaliya’s group. “I will use the phone to do online school every day,” Maghribi said.

Passage 5
Taboos (禁忌) of different people’s culture
A taboo(忌讳,禁忌) is a social action that is not allowed. Every culture in the world has its own taboos. The breaking of a taboo sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable. I learned this through my own experience.
Last weekend, Wang Lin and I showed two foreigners (外国人) around our city. Mr Singh was from India and Mr. White from US A.When I held out my left hand to shake hands with him, Mr. Singh seemed to be unhappy. Mr. White, however, was quite casual (随意). He said hello to me with a big smile and a wave of his hand.
In the evening, we stopped at a restaurant for dinner. I noticed that Mr. Singh didn’t touch the beef and Mr. White seemed not to like chickens’ claws (爪). During the meal, Wang Lin said sorry to Mr. Singh and continued to explain that we didn’t know it was a taboo in India to shake one’s left hand. Mr. Singh explained that since oxen (牛) are sacred(神圣的) in India, people don’t eat beef there. Mr. White joined in and said that it was not usual in the USA for people to eat chickens’ claws. He went on to say that Americans don’t usually get into each other’s personal (私人的) space. Marriage, job and age are their taboos. Isn’t it a good lesson to remember?
Main idea
The taboos in every country are 1 . People sometimes feel unhappy if one breaks a taboo.
Facts
In India
Indians don’t eat beef because they think oxen are sacred. It’s 2 to shake one’s left hand.
In the USA
It’s not a taboo, but Americans 3 eat chickens’ claws.
Americans don’t usually get into each other’s personal space. For example, they usually don’t ask someone else’smarriage, job or 4 .
Conclusion
If you 5 taboos, you can get on well with the people from different cultures.
【答案】1. different 2. impolite/rude 3. never/seldom 4. age 5. notice/know
【分析】世界上各个国家不同的文化禁忌,打破禁忌会让人感到不舒服。文中作者以亲身经历介绍印度和美国不同的文化禁忌,如果注意这些禁忌,就能和来自不同文化的人相处得很好。
1. 根据第一段“Every culture in the world has its own taboos”可知,每个国家的禁忌是各不相同的;此处填形容词与be动词构成系表结构;different“不同的”;故填different。
2. 根据最后一段“we didn’t know it was a taboo in India to shake one’s left hand” 握左手在印度是禁忌;可知,在印度,握左手是粗鲁的/不礼貌的。此处是句式It’s +adj+ to do sth意为“做某事来说是……”,可知填形容词;impolite“不礼貌的”/rude“粗鲁的”;故填impolite/rude。
3. 根据最后一段“Mr. White joined in and said that it was not usual in the states for people to eat chickens’ claws”在美国,人们不常吃鸡爪;可知,这不是禁忌,但美国人从不吃/很少吃鸡爪;never“从来不”/seldom“很少”;故填never/seldom。
4. 根据最后一段“He went on to say that Americans don’t usually get into each other’ s personal space. Marriage, job and age are their taboos”可知,他们通常不会问别人的婚姻、工作或年龄;age“年龄”;故填age。
5. 根据第一段“The breaking of a taboo sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable”打破禁忌有时会让人感到不舒服;可知,如果你注意到禁忌或者知道禁忌,你就能和来自不同文化的人相处得很好;此处是从句的谓语填动词;notice“注意”,know“知道”;故填notice/know。
Passage 6
在短文后表格中的空白处填入适当的单词 (注意:每空1个单词)。
It seems that everyone tells lies (谎话)—well, not big lies, but “white lies”. Telling white lies is not really that bad. Most of the time, people do it because they want to protect friendship or they don’t want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a party, you think it will be boring, so you say you’re busy.
Lying to make someone feel good
Often we don’t tell the truth to make someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No! You probably say, “Mmm, this is delicious!”
Lying to hide bad news
Sometimes, we don’t want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had a terrible day at work, but you don’t want your family to worry about you. So if your parents ask you about your day, you just say everything is fine.
Some ways people tell white lies

【答案】1. wrong/false 2. free 3. terrible 4. hide 5. well
【导语】本文主要讨论了人们为何会撒“善意的谎言”,以及撒善意谎言的不同情形和方式。
1. 根据“For example, someone invites you to a party, you think it will be boring, so you say you’re busy.”可知,当有人邀请你参加一个你觉得无聊的聚会时,你可能会说自己很忙,这是一种拒绝邀请的借口,而这种借口是不真实或错误的。故填wrong/false。
2. 根据“For example, someone invites you to a party, you think it will be boring, so you say you’re busy.”可知,此处描述的是当你想拒绝一个无聊的聚会时,你可能会说自己没有空。故填free。

4. 根据“Sometimes, we don’t want to tell someone bad news.”可知,有时我们不想告诉别人坏消息,这是一种隐藏坏消息的行为。故填hide。
5. 根据“For example, you have just had a terrible day at work, but you don’t want your family to worry about you. So if your parents ask you about your day, you just say everything is fine.”可知,当你工作很糟糕,但不想让家人担心时,如果父母问你今天过得怎么样,你可能会说一切都很好。故填well。
Passage 7
According to several recent surveys, some people fear public speaking more than anything else. Luckily, this fear can be overcome (克服) with two simple methods: practice and using positive (正面的) energy from the audience. Practicing for a speech is important. After the task of writing the speech is complete, speakers must practice, practice, practice. The more times they practice the speech, the more comfortable they are discussing the topic. Using objects such as mirrors or video recordings as they practice can show speakers what they look and sound like to the audience. Video is very helpful as it can be watched many times, with the presenters focusing on one part at a time.
Another way is to use the audience’s positive energy. Speakers need to remember that the audience wants them to succeed. Something like a small nod or a smile from a member of the audience should give confidence to the presenters. While it is easy for nervous speakers to focus only on getting through the presentation, using the audience’s good will (意愿) helps much in making a speech better.
All in all, with proper practice and audience empathy (共鸣), it is possible to overcome the fear of public speaking and make a successful speech. So there is no need to fear speaking anymore.

If you drop a piece of fruit on your computer keyboard, will you think about eating it again? What if you drop it in the toilet? Bacteria (细菌) can live here and there, even in some unexpected places.
If you eat at your computer or sit down to surf the Internet without first washing your hands, your computer keyboard could be bad for your health. According to the US National Research Centre, the average computer carries 400 times more bacteria than a toilet bowl.
Could one of the dirtiest things in your home be right in your hand? Yes, the TV remote control. It gets dropped on the floor, put on the sofa and everyone in the house holds it. Scientists have found that around half of the tested remote controls carry the cold virus (病毒).
Don’t forget your toothbrush. Do you put it in the bathroom? Studies show that flushing (抽水冲洗) the toilet releases bacteria in the air. Bacteria can remain in the air for at least two hours. They may pollute your toothbrush. Try to keep your toothbrush far from the toilet. Make sure that it is in an upright position after each use. It’s also important to change your toothbrush every three months.
The kitchen is one of the places with the most bacteria—more than the bathroom. Dishcloths and kitchen sponges (海绵) are great places for bacteria since they are always wet after being used.
Bacteria can’t be avoided, but don’t be too afraid to touch those things. Most of bacteria are harmless. Just remember to wash your hands often. It is the most useful way to protect yourself from bacteria and viruses.

Good morning, boys and girls. Today I’ll talk about going online.
We know that there are too many Net bars (网吧) around us. The Internet makes our lives interesting and enjoyable. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more information around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also when we send e-mails to our friends, they can get them right away. It can help us contact with people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the Net bars all day and all night. They spend too much time chatting online so they are weak in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we shouldn’t go online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should go online with our teachers or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English Corner on Monday afternoon. I hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.
That’s all! Thank you.

1. 根据“Today I’ll talk about going online.”可知,这是一篇关于上网话题的讨论或发言。talk“交谈;演讲”,speech“发言;演讲”,因设空处前有不定冠词a,所以填写名词单数形式。故填talk/speech。
2. 根据“The Internet makes our lives interesting and enjoyable.”可知,互联网让我们的生活变得有趣和愉快。make sb. do sth.“让某人做某事”,所以设空处填写enjoyable的动词形式,enjoy“享受”。故填enjoy。

4. 根据“They spend too much time chatting online so they are weak in their lessons and they don’t study well any more.”可知,一些学生花太多时间在网上聊天,所以功课做得不好。badly“差地”,副词修饰动词,结合题干中“spend more time”为比较级形式,所以此处填写badly的比较级worse。故填worse。
5. 根据“Do it in summer or winter holidays. Do some after-class activities and have some interest groups in school.”可知,表格右侧内容“可以在假期上网;做一些课外活动或组织一些兴趣小组”是作者提出的建议。advice“建议”,不可数名词,结合Advantages首字母大写,所以此处advice首字母大写。故填Advice。
