When I was 13, I faced a big challenge. I tried out for the school basketball team, but I was not chosen because I was too short. I felt very sad and disappointed. I even wanted to give up all sports. My best friend noticed my pain. She advised me to try swimming. At first, I did it just to forget my sadness. However, I soon found that I was good at it. I practiced hard every day. Later, I won several competitions and made many new friends. Now, I understand that failure is not the end. It can help us grow and find our real talent. Every “pain” can become a “gain” if we face it bravely. 1．Why did the writer feel sad at the age of 13? A．Because she lost her friend. B．Because she failed the exam. C．Because she wasn’t chosen for the school basketball team. D．Because she went swimming. 2．What did the writer’s friend advise her to do? A．Practice basketball harder. B．Forget about the failure. C．Talk to her parents. D．Try a new sport — swimming. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Swimming. B．Basketball. C．Feeling sad. D．Making friends. 4．Which sport is the writer good at? A．Volleyball. B．Football. C．Swimming. D．Baseball. 5．What can we learn from the story? A．We should only do easy things. B．Every “pain” can become a “gain” if we face it bravely. C．It’s impossible to overcome sadness. D．Being short is a big disadvantage. These days, talking on the phone isn’t as common as it used to be, because many people like to use messaging apps like WeChat. However, sometimes you have to make a call. For some people, this can be really scary. They might feel their hearts racing just at the thought of making a call. If this sounds like you, you might have telephobia—a fear of talking on the phone. Telephobia is a kind of social anxiety (社交焦虑). Even people who feel comfortable talking to others in person can get nervous on the phone. When we talk face to face, we can see each other’s faces and body language. This can help us perceive what they mean. But on the phone, we can’t see those things and as a result, we can feel nervous and forget what to say or sound silly. There are ways to help make phone calls easier if you have telephobia. The first is to smile before making a call. It may sound funny, but smiling can help you feel more relaxed. Another one is to think about how the call will go. Think about what you want to say and plan a little bit. You can even write down some important points. Finally, if you get a call and don’t feel ready to answer, that’s OK! You can call the person back later when you feel more comfortable. So remember, talking on the phone doesn’t need to be scary. With patience (耐心) and a little preparation, you can make phone calls easily! 1．Why do people talk on the phone less than before? A．Because people are too busy. B．Because phone calls are more expensive. C．Because people prefer to talk face to face. D．Because many people like to use messaging apps. 2．What does the underlined word “perceive” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Forget. B．Express. C．Understand. D．Expect. 3．What is one way to make phone calls easier according to the text? A．Begin with funny stories. B．Smile before making a call. C．Talk about relaxing topics. D．Hang up at once if you feel nervous. 4．What does the writer suggest doing if you don’t feel ready to answer a call? A．Answering it when it rings. B．Calling the person back later. C．Asking someone to answer it. D．Using a messaging app instead. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．The Benefits of Making Phone Calls B．How to Use Messaging Apps like WeChat C．Getting over Telephobia: Tips and Advice D．Why People Prefer Texting over Calling Emojis (表情符号) are a fun way to express ourselves while sending messages. But did you know that the same emoji can mean very different things in different cultures? This can cause misunderstandings or even trouble if you’re not careful enough. Let’s take a closer look at some emojis and their surprising cultural meanings. Let’s start with the thumbs-up (竖大拇指) emoji. In many Western countries, people use it widely to show agreement or to praise a job well done. However, in some parts of the Middle East, West Africa and South America, people see it as rude, similar to giving someone the middle finger (手指). The OK hand sign also has many kinds of cultural meanings. In the US and Europe, it simply means “everything is fine” or “perfect”. However, people in Brazil and Türkiye think it is an impolite gesture (手势). Even more interestingly, in France, it stands for “zero” or “nothing”. Clearly, this emoji’s meaning truly changes a lot across different cultures! The folded hands emoji also carries different meanings. In Western cultures, many people take it as a high-five—a gesture of celebration. But in most Asian cultures, it is a way to express thanks or greet others. The crossed fingers emoji can also get you into trouble. In the UK, the US and Canada, crossing fingers is a common way to wish someone good luck. However, in Vietnam, you’d better think twice before using the gesture, as it has an unexpected negative meaning there. Understanding these cultural differences can help avoid misunderstandings when communicating across cultures. 1．In which part of the world do people think the thumbs-up is rude? A．Asia. B．The Middle East. C．North America. D．Australia. 2．Which of the following has the most meanings according to the article? A． B． C． D． 3．What can we learn about the folded hands emoji? A．Western people use it to show anger. B．Many Asian people use it to say hi. C．It has the same meaning in all cultures. D．It is impolite in most European countries. 4．What should people avoid doing when meeting someone from Vietnam? A．Using folded hands to say thanks. B．Giving the thumbs-up to praise them. C．Crossing fingers for good luck. D．Making the OK sign for perfection. 5．What is the main purpose of this article? A．To encourage people to use emojis widely. B．To suggest some new ways to use emojis. C．To introduce the development of emojis. D．To explain emojis’ different cultural meanings. Greeting customs are quite different around the world. In New Zealand, local people have a special way to greet others. They press their noses and foreheads together. It shows friendship and respect. In Thailand, people put their hands together near their chests and bow a little. This is a polite way to greet elders and guests. They always keep soft smiles when doing this. No matter what greeting way people use, the meaning is the same: kindness and respect. When we travel abroad, we should learn and follow local customs to show our good manners. 1．What is the special greeting in New Zealand? A．Shake hands firmly. B．Press noses and foreheads together.

It was a text (短信) from an unfamiliar number, showing a photo of a smiling man in his 30s. “What a strange picture to receive!” I thought to myself. For the past three years, I have been getting texts meant for this man, Jared. When the second text came, I was a playful girl in Grade Six. “My Mom just told me that the Football Club will host a free barbeque dinner on Saturday! Hope you all will enjoy it,” it said. “YUMMY!” I carefully replied. The story of Jared became deeper. I learned that he was part of the Bowery Mission, which sounded like a gaming group. Looking it up, I realized it was actually an organization that helped poor families. This was around the same time I stopped volunteering in my community. I spent more time taking art classes and doing different sports. I then got some group texts from the organization. When a message came about offering food, I texted back, “Count me in!” The next Saturday, I put on my volunteer vest and went to the community center to help pack meals for the homeless. However, I started to feel bad about this lie. Another man sent a long message, talking about the hopeless moments in his life. As I imagined what a good friend Jared could be, I felt ashamed that I was unable to provide the support this man needed and realized that I was not even a good listener to my own friends. During this time, I noticed how much Jared’s life has changed and I have also been discovering who I am. Learning from Jared, I have made more efforts to my community, and become a more understanding friend. Last month, I received another text.

His sister Marilla was waiting for him. However, she was very surprised when her eyes fell on the strange little figure beside him. Instead of the boy she was expecting, there stood a girl in a stiff, ugly dress, with red hair and bright eyes. “Matthew Cuthbert, who’s that?” she asked. “Where is the boy?” “There wasn’t any boy at the station,” said Matthew. “There was only her.” “No boy?” Marilla insisted (坚持说). “But we sent word to Mrs. Spencer to bring a boy!” The little girl was silent at first, but then she understood what they were saying. “You don’t want me because I’m not a boy!” she cried, and she began to cry stormily. “Well, there’s no need to cry,” Marilla said, a little more softly. “We are not going to send you outside tonight. What’s your name?” “Will you please call me Cordelia?” the girl said eagerly. But after Marilla’s questioning, she admitted unwillingly that her real name was Anne Shirley, which she felt was unromantic. “Cordelia is such a perfectly elegant name. I’ve always imagined that my name was Cordelia!” “Nonsense,” said Marilla. “Anne is a really good plain name.” She then explained, “We need a boy to help Matthew on the farm. A girl is no use to us.” At supper, Anne was too sad to eat. She said she was in “the depths of despair (绝望).” Later, when Anne was sent to bed, Marilla and Matthew discussed the situation. Marilla was determined that the girl must be sent back.

It is also one of the most interesting sights of Taganai Park in Russia. Different from other rivers, it is filled with rocks and stones. Not a drop of water can be seen. Interestingly, as one comes near to the rocky river, the sound of running water can be heard. The Big Stone River is about 6 km long and is made up of many small rocky rivers. It cuts through a thick forest like a real river. It is about 200 metres wide and in some places, it is up to 700 metres wide. Some of the rocks weigh up to 10 tons each and the layer(层) of rocks goes down 6 metres deep. Scientists believe it was formed by the movement of glaciers (冰川) about 10,000 years ago. At that time, thick ice covered the top of the mountains. Over time, as the climate warmed and the glaciers melted (融化), the flowing water and ice carried and deposited (使沉积) these huge rocks, creating the stone river we see today. Seeing the amazing river is a great experience. The best way to experience this natural wonder is from above. Come and visit it when you come to Russia. 1．Why is the Big Stone River special? A．Because it is full of fish. B．Because it is in Taganai Park. C．Because it is impossible to see water there. D．Because the sound of running water is loud. 2．How wide is the widest part of the Big Stone River? A．6 metres. B．200 metres. C．700 metres.

A．A Running River B．A Very Amazing Stone C．The Big Stone River D．An Unforgettable Experience Anger isn’t a good feeling. Anger may make us feel uncomfortable, but it’s also a normal and natural emotion in daily life. Unluckily, many of us are used to hiding our feelings. Research shows that this can have long-term bad influences (影响) on our health, both in mind and body. Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry? The research points out that when we show our anger in this way, we probably can’t get on well with our friends and our family. The longer we stay angry, the worse the result will be. So how can we deal with our angry feelings in a right way? First, ▲ Anger is often caused by feelings such as fear, disappointment and so on. By finding out the true cause, we can deal with it more effectively (有效的). Second, pay attention to those everyday things that will make us angry. For example, we may get angry in the long lines at the store. Take a step back and think that it isn’t personal. Everyone in the line has dinner to make, just like us. Another way to deal with anger is to talk about it. The study shows that if we name our feelings, we can slowly calm ourselves down and feel better. Last, do some controlled breathing or find some helpful exercise to do. Exercise helps with feelings of anger. If we learn to deal with anger properly, we will feel calmer, get on better with others and live a happier life. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic in Paragraph 2? A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question. C．By giving an example. D．By listing numbers. 2．Which of the following is right? (X means how long we stay angry; Y means the bad influence it will have.)

A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②④ 5．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．What makes you angry? B．Why are you angry? C．When to deal with anger D．How to deal with anger Water is important in our life, but sometimes water can be dangerous. So we must pay attention to water safety, especially for kids. Water safety incidents for kids often happen at home and in the pool. Here are some suggestions. Be careful of hot water. Hot water can be dangerous, especially for kids under five. Young kids have thinner skin than adults, so it’s easier for them to be burnt. You can reduce the risk by testing the temperature of the water with your wrist or elbow before placing your kid in the bath. Watch out for danger in the bathroom. The bathroom is full of danger for young kids. Parents can’t leave them alone in the bathrooms. When young kids are in the bathrooms, remember to put away all the electrical appliances to avoid the risk. Never let kids swim alone. Swimming in the pool may make kids feel great. But it is not a perfect sport because of the risk of injury. It’s dangerous when kids stay in the pool alone because they may even drown. So kids should swim with their parents. Everyone should realize the importance of water safety. To keep kids safe, we need to follow the suggestions above. 1．Why is hot water especially dangerous for kids under five?

When I was 13, I faced a big challenge. I tried out for the school basketball team, but I was not chosen because I was too short. I felt very sad and disappointed. I even wanted to give up all sports. My best friend noticed my pain. She advised me to try swimming. At first, I did it just to forget my sadness. However, I soon found that I was good at it. I practiced hard every day. Later, I won several competitions and made many new friends. Now, I understand that failure is not the end. It can help us grow and find our real talent. Every “pain” can become a “gain” if we face it bravely. 1．Why did the writer feel sad at the age of 13? A．Because she lost her friend. B．Because she failed the exam.

I felt very sad and disappointed.”可知，作者因为没能入选校篮球队而感到伤心。 2．根据第二段中“My best friend noticed my pain. She advised me to try swimming.”可知，朋友建议她尝试游泳这项新运动。 3．根据第二段上文“She advised me to try swimming.”以及下文“At first, I did it just to forget my sadness.”可知，这里的it指代前文提到的swimming（游泳）。 4．根据第二段中“However, I soon found that I was good at it.”结合上下文可知，作者擅长的是游泳。 5．根据文章最后一段“Every ‘pain’ can become a ‘gain’ if we face it bravely.”可知，文章告诉我们如果勇敢面对，每一次“痛苦”都能变成“收获”。 These days, talking on the phone isn’t as common as it used to be, because many people like to use messaging apps like WeChat. However, sometimes you have to make a call. For some people, this can be really scary. They might feel their hearts racing just at the thought of making a call. If this sounds like you, you might have telephobia—a fear of talking on the phone. Telephobia is a kind of social anxiety (社交焦虑). Even people who feel comfortable talking to others in person can get nervous on the phone. When we talk face to face, we can see each other’s faces and body language. This can help us perceive what they mean. But on the phone, we can’t see those things and as a result, we can feel nervous and forget what to say or sound silly. There are ways to help make phone calls easier if you have telephobia. The first is to smile before making a call. It may sound funny, but smiling can help you feel more relaxed. Another one is to think about how the call will go. Think about what you want to say and plan a little bit. You can even write down some important points. Finally, if you get a call and don’t feel ready to answer, that’s OK! You can call the person back later when you feel more comfortable. So remember, talking on the phone doesn’t need to be scary. With patience (耐心) and a little preparation, you can make phone calls easily! 1．Why do people talk on the phone less than before? A．Because people are too busy. B．Because phone calls are more expensive. C．Because people prefer to talk face to face. D．Because many people like to use messaging apps. 2．What does the underlined word “perceive” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Forget. B．Express. C．Understand. D．Expect. 3．What is one way to make phone calls easier according to the text? A．Begin with funny stories. B．Smile before making a call. C．Talk about relaxing topics. D．Hang up at once if you feel nervous. 4．What does the writer suggest doing if you don’t feel ready to answer a call? A．Answering it when it rings. B．Calling the person back later. C．Asking someone to answer it. D．Using a messaging app instead. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．The Benefits of Making Phone Calls B．How to Use Messaging Apps like WeChat C．Getting over Telephobia: Tips and Advice D．Why People Prefer Texting over Calling 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了人们对打电话的社交焦虑，并介绍了缓解电话焦虑的实用方法。 1．根据第一段“These days, talking on the phone isn’t as common as it used to be, because many people like to use messaging apps like WeChat.”可知，人们打电话变少的原因是很多人喜欢使用微信等消息应用。 2．根据第二段“When we talk face to face, we can see each other’s faces and body language. This can help us perceive what they mean.”可知，面对面交流时，表情和肢体语言能帮助我们理解对方的意思，因此“perceive”在此处意为“理解、领会”。 3．根据第三段“There are ways to help make phone calls easier...The first is to smile before making a call.”可知，缓解电话焦虑的方法之一是打电话前先微笑。 4．根据第三段“Finally, if you get a call and don’t feel ready to answer, that’s OK! You can call the person back later when you feel more comfortable.”可知，作者建议如果没准备好接电话，可以之后再回拨。 5．全文先介绍了“电话焦虑症”的现象与原因，再给出了缓解焦虑的具体方法，因此最贴合的标题是“Getting over Telephobia: Tips and Advice (克服电话焦虑：技巧与建议)”。 Emojis (表情符号) are a fun way to express ourselves while sending messages. But did you know that the same emoji can mean very different things in different cultures? This can cause misunderstandings or even trouble if you’re not careful enough. Let’s take a closer look at some emojis and their surprising cultural meanings. Let’s start with the thumbs-up (竖大拇指) emoji. In many Western countries, people use it widely to show agreement or to praise a job well done. However, in some parts of the Middle East, West Africa and South America, people see it as rude, similar to giving someone the middle finger (手指). The OK hand sign also has many kinds of cultural meanings. In the US and Europe, it simply means “everything is fine” or “perfect”. However, people in Brazil and Türkiye think it is an impolite gesture (手势). Even more interestingly, in France, it stands for “zero” or “nothing”. Clearly, this emoji’s meaning truly changes a lot across different cultures! The folded hands emoji also carries different meanings. In Western cultures, many people take it as a high-five—a gesture of celebration. But in most Asian cultures, it is a way to express thanks or greet others. The crossed fingers emoji can also get you into trouble. In the UK, the US and Canada, crossing fingers is a common way to wish someone good luck. However, in Vietnam, you’d better think twice before using the gesture, as it has an unexpected negative meaning there. Understanding these cultural differences can help avoid misunderstandings when communicating across cultures. 1．In which part of the world do people think the thumbs-up is rude? A．Asia. B．The Middle East. C．North America. D．Australia. 2．Which of the following has the most meanings according to the article? A． B． C． D． 3．What can we learn about the folded hands emoji? A．Western people use it to show anger. B．Many Asian people use it to say hi. C．It has the same meaning in all cultures. D．It is impolite in most European countries. 4．What should people avoid doing when meeting someone from Vietnam? A．Using folded hands to say thanks. B．Giving the thumbs-up to praise them. C．Crossing fingers for good luck. D．Making the OK sign for perfection. 5．What is the main purpose of this article? A．To encourage people to use emojis widely. B．To suggest some new ways to use emojis. C．To introduce the development of emojis. D．To explain emojis’ different cultural meanings. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了不同表情符号在不同文化中含义不同。 1．根据第二段“However, in some parts of the Middle East, West Africa and South America, people see it as rude, similar to giving someone the middle finger (手指).”可知，在中东、西非和南美洲的一些地区，人们认为竖大拇指很粗鲁。 2．第二段列出了竖大拇指的两种含义（赞同/粗鲁）；第三段列出了OK手势的三种含义（没问题/不礼貌/零）；第四段列出了双手合十的两种含义（庆祝/感谢问候）；第五段列出了交叉手指的两种含义（祈求好运/负面含义），所以OK手势是其中含义最多的。 3．根据第四段“But in most Asian cultures, it is a way to express thanks or greet others.”可知，许多亚洲人用双手合十的表情符号来打招呼。 4．根据倒数第二段“However, in Vietnam, you’d better think twice before using the gesture, as it has an unexpected negative meaning there.”可知，在越南，交叉手指表情符号有负面含义，所以遇到越南人时，人们应该避免交叉手指以求好运。 5．阅读全文可知，本文解释了表情符号的不同文化含义，提醒人们在跨文化交流中注意这些差异，避免误解或冒犯。 Greeting customs are quite different around the world.

It was a text (短信) from an unfamiliar number, showing a photo of a smiling man in his 30s. “What a strange picture to receive!” I thought to myself. For the past three years, I have been getting texts meant for this man, Jared. When the second text came, I was a playful girl in Grade Six. “My Mom just told me that the Football Club will host a free barbeque dinner on Saturday! Hope you all will enjoy it,” it said. “YUMMY!” I carefully replied. The story of Jared became deeper. I learned that he was part of the Bowery Mission, which sounded like a gaming group. Looking it up, I realized it was actually an organization that helped poor families. This was around the same time I stopped volunteering in my community. I spent more time taking art classes and doing different sports. I then got some group texts from the organization. When a message came about offering food, I texted back, “Count me in!” The next Saturday, I put on my volunteer vest and went to the community center to help pack meals for the homeless. However, I started to feel bad about this lie. Another man sent a long message, talking about the hopeless moments in his life. As I imagined what a good friend Jared could be, I felt ashamed that I was unable to provide the support this man needed and realized that I was not even a good listener to my own friends. During this time, I noticed how much Jared’s life has changed and I have also been discovering who I am. Learning from Jared, I have made more efforts to my community, and become a more understanding friend. Last month, I received another text. Yet, I replied, “Hey, sorry, this is not Jared, but I hope he is doing well.” 1．How did the writer feel when she got the second text? A．Strange. B．Interested. C．Nervous. D．Bored. 2．What does “Count me in” probably mean in Paragraph 5? A．Count the number of people. B．I want to join and help. C．I need to count the food. D．I will stay at home. 3．Why did the writer feel bad about the lie? A．She could not help the man like Jared. B．She was unable to support her own friends. C．She was not a good listener for the man. D．She could not get on well with her own friends. 4．Which is the correct order of the events in the story? a. The writer realized “Bowery Mission” was a charity, not a gaming group. b. The writer received a text with a photo from an unfamiliar number. c. The writer felt ashamed and decided to tell the truth to the sender. d. The writer replied “Count me in!” to a message about offering food. e. The writer learned that Jared was part of the Bowery Mission. A．b→e→a→d→c B．e→a→b→d→c C．e→b→a→d→c D．b→e→d→a→c 5．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．An Important Lesson about Honesty B．A Message that Has Never Been Sent C．A Self-discovery Journey with a Wrong Number D．Two Good Friends Who Learned from Each Other 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者误收了一位名叫Jared的男子的短信，并因此参与社区服务、反思自我，最终坦白身份并成长的故事。 1．第二段短信内容提到“免费烧烤晚餐”，作者回复“YUMMMY!”，表示“好吃！”，第三段说“The story of Jared became deeper”并去查Bowery Mission，说明作者对此感到好奇和有兴趣。Strange奇怪；Nervous紧张；Bored无聊均不符合。 2．文中第五段收到提供食物的消息后，作者回复“Count me in!”，紧接着下一句“The next Saturday, I put on my volunteer vest and went to the community center to help”，说明该短语意为“我要加入并帮忙”。A项“数人数”，C项“我需要去数食物”，D项“我将会待在家”均错误。 3．第六段提到“I felt ashamed that I was unable to provide the support this man needed”，即她无法像Jared那样给予对方支持。B项“她无法支持自己的朋友”，错误；C项“她不是好的倾听者”虽在文中提及，但并非她感到糟糕的主要原因；D项“她不能和朋友相处好”未提及。 4．第二段“When the second text came”可知作者收到陌生号码的短信，对应 b；第三段“I learned that he was part of the Bowery Mission”可知作者得知Jared属于Bowery Mission，对应e；紧接着“Looking it up, I realized it was actually an organization that helped poor families”可知她查后发现是慈善组织，对应a；第五段作者回复“Count me in!”，对应d；第六段及最后回复可知作者感到羞愧并最终坦白身份，对应c。因此正确顺序为 b→e→a→d→c。 5．文章核心是作者通过误收短信的经历，发现了自己的不足，参与志愿活动，并最终成长，这是一段自我发现之旅。A项“关于诚实的重要一课”，文中虽涉及坦白，但重点不在诚实说教；B项“从未发送的信息”，不符；D“互相学习的两个好朋友”，Jared未直接参与，均不准确。 1．What is the activity in the poster?

His sister Marilla was waiting for him. However, she was very surprised when her eyes fell on the strange little figure beside him. Instead of the boy she was expecting, there stood a girl in a stiff, ugly dress, with red hair and bright eyes. “Matthew Cuthbert, who’s that?” she asked. “Where is the boy?” “There wasn’t any boy at the station,” said Matthew. “There was only her.” “No boy?” Marilla insisted (坚持说). “But we sent word to Mrs. Spencer to bring a boy!” The little girl was silent at first, but then she understood what they were saying. “You don’t want me because I’m not a boy!” she cried, and she began to cry stormily. “Well, there’s no need to cry,” Marilla said, a little more softly. “We are not going to send you outside tonight. What’s your name?” “Will you please call me Cordelia?” the girl said eagerly. But after Marilla’s questioning, she admitted unwillingly that her real name was Anne Shirley, which she felt was unromantic. “Cordelia is such a perfectly elegant name. I’ve always imagined that my name was Cordelia!” “Nonsense,” said Marilla. “Anne is a really good plain name.” She then explained, “We need a boy to help Matthew on the farm. A girl is no use to us.” At supper, Anne was too sad to eat. She said she was in “the depths of despair (绝望).” Later, when Anne was sent to bed, Marilla and Matthew discussed the situation. Marilla was determined that the girl must be sent back. Matthew, however, spoke up unexpectedly. “She’s a real interesting little thing,” he insisted. “We might be some good to her.” As Matthew went to bed, Marilla frowned, and upstairs, the lonely child cried herself to sleep. ——Adapted from Anne of Green Gables 1．Why was Marilla shocked when Matthew came home? A．Because Matthew was late. B．Because the girl was poorly dressed. C．Because Matthew didn’t wait for her. D．Because Matthew brought a girl rather than a boy. 2．What can you infer about Anne from the conversation? A．She is shy and speaks very little. B．She is satisfied with her situation. C．She is calm and does not have strong emotions. D．She is imaginative and has a desire for romance. 3．Why didn’t Marilla want Anne? A．Because Anne was lost deeply in sadness. B．Because Anne was crying loudly all the time. C．Because Anne wasn’t much help with the farm work. D．Because Anne had an ordinary and unimaginative name. 4．How did Matthew feel about sending Anne back? A．He didn’t want to argue with Marilla. B．He thought Marilla’s ideas were important. C．He felt sorry for Anne and advised keeping her. D．He thought Anne’s leaving might be good to them. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．A big fight between the Cuthberts. B．A strange girl disliked her plain name. C．A girl had a terrible night at the Cuthberts’. D．An unwanted girl was brought to the Cuthberts’. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文节选讲述兄妹二人本打算领养男孩帮忙务农，却意外接回女孩安妮，二人对此产生分歧，安妮满心失落难过。 1．第一段“However, she was very surprised when her eyes fell on the strange little figure beside him. Instead of the boy she was expecting, there stood a girl...”，Marilla惊讶是因为“Matthew带回来的是一个女孩，而不是他们原本预期的男孩”。 2．倒数第四段“Will you please call me Cordelia?...‘Cordelia is such a perfectly elegant name. I’ve always imagined that my name was Cordelia!’”，Anne不喜欢自己平凡的名字，幻想自己有一个优雅的名字，这体现了她“富有想象力且渴望浪漫”的特质。 3．倒数第三段“...said Marilla...‘We need a boy to help Matthew on the farm. A girl is no use to us.’”，Marilla不想要Anne是因为他们需要一个男孩在农场帮忙，而“女孩对他们没有用处”。 4．倒数第一段“Matthew, however, spoke up unexpectedly. ‘She’s a real interesting little thing,’ he insisted. ‘We might be some good to her.’，Matthew认为Anne很有趣，他们也许能对安妮有好处，即“他们可以帮助她”，这表明“他同情Anne并建议留下她”，而不是送她走。 5．通读全文可知，文章主要讲述Matthew意外带回了一个女孩Anne，而Cuthbert兄妹原本想要一个男孩来帮忙农活，导致Anne最初是不被需要的(unwanted)，随后描述了双方对此事的反应。D项“一个不被想要的女孩被带到了Cuthberts的家”最能概括文章的主要内容。 My name is George. When I was in middle school, I experienced a strong earthquake. When I was listening to the teacher carefully, suddenly I felt the ground shaking and everything started moving. Everyone in the classroom was shouting and crying. I was scared and even thought of the end of the world. When the shaking stopped, the teacher quickly took us out of the classroom to the playground.

After making sure it was safe, teachers called our parents to take us home. My house suffered some damage (损坏). The bookcases fell onto the floor and some things were broken. But I felt happy that we were all safe. In the following days, we learned that the earthquake caused a lot of damage to the city. Many buildings collapsed and lots of people lost their homes and family. I was sad to hear that.

D．The importance of preparing for natural disasters. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者乔治在中学时经历的一次强烈地震，包括地震发生时的场景、地震后的状况以及作者从这次经历中获得的感悟。 1．第一段提到：“When I was listening to the teacher carefully, suddenly I felt the ground shaking and everything started moving.” 这表明当地面开始震动时，乔治正在教室里认真听老师讲课。 2．第四段提到：“Many buildings collapsed and lots of people lost their homes and family.” 结合前文描述地震造成很多破坏，以及后文很多人失去家园和家人，可推测出“collapsed”意思是“倒塌”，与“Fell down”意思相符。 3．第二段提到：“When the shaking stopped, the teacher quickly took us out of the classroom to the playground.” 结合前文第一段“When I was listening to the teacher carefully, suddenly I felt the ground shaking and everything started moving. Everyone in the classroom was shouting and crying.”以及第三段“My house suffered some damage (损坏).”可知，先是乔治认真听老师讲课，然后同学们开始喊叫哭泣，接着老师带学生去操场，最后乔治看到房子受损。所以顺序是③②④①。 4．第一段提到：“I was scared and even thought of the end of the world.” 说明乔治一开始很害怕；第三段提到：“But I felt happy that we were all safe.” 说明看到大家都安全后他很高兴；第四段提到：“I was sad to hear that.” 说明听到很多人失去家园和家人他很伤心；最后一段提到：“I know how important it is to be prepared for natural disasters and I feel more hopeful about safety now.” 说明他现在对安全更有希望了。所以乔治的感情变化是scared→happy→sad→hopeful。 5．最后一段提到：“Looking back on this experience, I know how important it is to be prepared for natural disasters.” 这表明乔治从这次事件中学到了为自然灾害做好准备的重要性。 能力综合实践5篇 The Big Stone River is one of the most amazing stone rivers in the world. It is also one of the most interesting sights of Taganai Park in Russia. Different from other rivers, it is filled with rocks and stones. Not a drop of water can be seen. Interestingly, as one comes near to the rocky river, the sound of running water can be heard. The Big Stone River is about 6 km long and is made up of many small rocky rivers. It cuts through a thick forest like a real river. It is about 200 metres wide and in some places, it is up to 700 metres wide. Some of the rocks weigh up to 10 tons each and the layer(层) of rocks goes down 6 metres deep. Scientists believe it was formed by the movement of glaciers (冰川) about 10,000 years ago. At that time, thick ice covered the top of the mountains. Over time, as the climate warmed and the glaciers melted (融化), the flowing water and ice carried and deposited (使沉积) these huge rocks, creating the stone river we see today. Seeing the amazing river is a great experience. The best way to experience this natural wonder is from above. Come and visit it when you come to Russia. 1．Why is the Big Stone River special? A．Because it is full of fish. B．Because it is in Taganai Park. C．Because it is impossible to see water there. D．Because the sound of running water is loud. 2．How wide is the widest part of the Big Stone River? A．6 metres. B．200 metres. C．700 metres. D．6,000 metres. 3．What’s the scientists’ idea about this river? A．The river is filled with rocks and stones. B．It’s the result of the movement of glaciers. C．Some of the rocks in the river weigh up to 10 tons. D．Now there isn’t any ice on the top of the mountain at all. 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The Big Stone River is the only stone river in the world. B．The Big Stone River is a real river through a thick forest. C．The Big Stone River is made up of some big rocky rivers. D．The best way to enjoy the Big Stone River is to see it from a higher place. 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．A Running River B．A Very Amazing Stone C．The Big Stone River D．An Unforgettable Experience 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了俄罗斯的一大奇观——大石河，它的外观及形成的原因。 1．根据文章第一段“Different from other rivers, it is filled with rocks and stones. Not a drop of water can be seen.”，说明大石河的特殊之处在于完全看不到水。 2．根据文章第二段“It is about 200 metres wide and in some places, it is up to 700 metres wide.”可知，大石河最宽处是700米。 3．根据文章第三段开头“Scientists believe it was formed by the movement of glaciers about 10,000 years ago.”，说明科学家认为它是冰川运动形成的。 4．根据文章最后一段“The best way to experience this natural wonder is from above.”，说明欣赏它的最佳方式是从高处（上方）观看。A选项中的“only”唯一的，并未提及，故排除。B选项，从全文来看，它不是真正的河流，只是像河流一样穿过森林，故排除。C选项，根据文章“…is made up of many small rocky rivers”说明它是由许多小型岩石河组成，不是大型的。 5．全文都是围绕“The Big Stone River”展开，介绍了它的特点、数据、形成原因和观赏方式，所以最佳标题是The Big Stone River“大石河”。 Anger isn’t a good feeling. Anger may make us feel uncomfortable, but it’s also a normal and natural emotion in daily life. Unluckily, many of us are used to hiding our feelings. Research shows that this can have long-term bad influences (影响) on our health, both in mind and body. Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry? The research points out that when we show our anger in this way, we probably can’t get on well with our friends and our family. The longer we stay angry, the worse the result will be. So how can we deal with our angry feelings in a right way? First, ▲ Anger is often caused by feelings such as fear, disappointment and so on. By finding out the true cause, we can deal with it more effectively (有效的). Second, pay attention to those everyday things that will make us angry. For example, we may get angry in the long lines at the store. Take a step back and think that it isn’t personal. Everyone in the line has dinner to make, just like us. Another way to deal with anger is to talk about it. The study shows that if we name our feelings, we can slowly calm ourselves down and feel better. Last, do some controlled breathing or find some helpful exercise to do. Exercise helps with feelings of anger. If we learn to deal with anger properly, we will feel calmer, get on better with others and live a happier life. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic in Paragraph 2? A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question. C．By giving an example. D．By listing numbers. 2．Which of the following is right? (X means how long we stay angry; Y means the bad influence it will have.)

C．When to deal with anger D．How to deal with anger 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了愤怒是一种正常情绪，长期压抑或不当表达愤怒会带来负面影响，并介绍了正确处理愤怒情绪的方法。 1．第二段通过提出问题 “So how can we deal with our angry feelings in a right way?” 引出下文对处理愤怒方法的介绍，因此作者是通过提出问题的方式引入主题。 2．第二段提到 “The longer we stay angry, the worse the result will be.”，说明愤怒持续的时间（X）越长，带来的不良影响（Y）越严重，二者呈正相关关系，对应选项A的图像。 3．第三段的空后内容为 “Anger is often caused by feelings such as fear, disappointment and so on. By finding out the true cause, we can deal with it more effectively.”，核心是强调找到愤怒的真正原因，因此空处应填 “know what makes us angry”。 4．第三段介绍了处理愤怒的方法：“Another way to deal with anger is to talk about it.”、“do some controlled breathing or find some helpful exercise to do.”，即①运动、③谈论感受、④控制呼吸，因此选①③④。 5．全文围绕如何正确处理愤怒情绪展开，介绍了不当表达愤怒的危害和多种处理方法，因此最佳标题是 “How to deal with anger”。 Water is important in our life, but sometimes water can be dangerous.
