This is the story of how she started her career (事业). Jane was not very interested in animals when she was a child. Then, one day, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee (黑猩猩). She liked it very much. From that day on, she became really interested in animals. When she was a 16-year-old schoolgirl, Jane dreamed of a career studying wild animals in Africa. Jane’s mother said, “If you really want something, work hard and never give up. Then you’ll find a way.” Jane’s mother was right. When she was 26, Jane travelled from Britain to the mountains of East Africa. She studied chimpanzees there for years. She watched the animals for a long time and they became her friends. Jane discovered (发现) that these animals greet one another with a kiss or a hug (拥抱), and make and use tools-just like humans do. Some people questioned the methods Jane used in her research. Jane gave the chimpanzees human names and compared them to humans. People at the time thought she should not treat the chimpanzees too much like people. However, Jane did not give up. In the end, her discoveries changed how we think about humans and animals. Nowadays (如今), scientists believe that human beings have a lot in common with chimpanzees. Jane Goodall is now well-known all over the world. She often gives speeches about her work because she wants people to protect the environment (环境). Her life story has inspired (启发) many young people all over the world. Jane Goodall made her dreams come true because she never gave up. You can too. 1．What made Jane Goodall become interested in animals? A．A trip to Africa. B．A story about chimpanzees. C．A toy chimpanzee from her father. D．A school lesson about animals. 2．Put the events about Jane Goodall into the correct order according to the passage. a. She gave speeches about her work. b. She became friends with chimpanzees. c. She travelled to the mountains of East Africa. d. She dreamed of studying wild animals in Africa. e. Her discoveries changed people’s opinions of humans and animals. A．c-e-a-b-d. B．d-c-b-e-a. C．c-e-d-b-a. D．d-a-e-c-b. 3．What did Jane Goodall discover about chimpanzees? A．They only eat plants. B．They are afraid of humans. C．They greet each other like other animals. D．They make and use tools like humans. 4．What does the underlined word “methods” in Paragraph 6 mean? A．ways B．tools C．words D．skills 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．People should protect the environment. B．Jane Goodall’s childhood was full of joy. C．Chimpanzees are similar to humans in many ways. D．Jane Goodall made her dreams come true by never giving up. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文介绍了世界著名科学家Jane Goodall的故事，讲述了她如何因父亲赠送的玩具黑猩猩对动物产生兴趣，通过不懈坚持在非洲研究黑猩猩并取得重大发现，最终实现梦想的经历，展现了她永不放弃的精神及其对动物保护事业的影响。 1．根据第二段内容“Then, one day, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee... From that day on, she became really interested in animals.”可知，是父亲送给她的一个黑猩猩玩具让她对动物产生了兴趣。 2．根据文章时间线索排序：d项发生在16岁（Paragraph 3）；c项发生在26岁（Paragraph 5）；b项是在到达非洲研究期间发生的（Paragraph 5）；e项是研究结束后的影响（Paragraph 6）；a项是如今的情况（Paragraph 7）。正确顺序为d-c-b-e-a。 3．根据第五段内容“Jane discovered... that these animals... make and use tools-just like humans do.”可知，简·古德尔发现黑猩猩会像人类一样制造和使用工具。 4．根据第六段上下文，人们质疑的是她研究黑猩猩时的做法（如给黑猩猩起人名、将它们与人类比较），这里的“methods”意为“方法、方式”，与“ways”意思最接近。 5．文章首段引出简·古德尔的事业故事，中间讲述她克服困难进行研究的过程，最后一段总结“Jane Goodall made her dreams come true because she never gave up.”，全文主旨在于她通过永不放弃实现了梦想。 Passage 2 What do you want to be when you grow up? Confucius (孔子) lived in the Kingdom of Lu, part of today’s Shandong Province. September 28th is his birthday. Although he was born over 2,000 years ago, people still remember him on this day. His childhood was sad. His father died when he was only 3, so he had to work to help his mother. But young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports. Later, he became a teacher and began his career. He started the first private school (私学) in Chinese history. At that time, only children from rich families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime. Today, people still follow his ideas. He told us that each person has something worthy (值得的) to learn and teach. “When I’m with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas.” He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people confused. All thinking but no study makes people foolish.” Confucius is not only a great teacher but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness. “All people should care for others. Be strict with yourself, but be kind to others,” he said. Confucius spent all his life working on education and made great achievements. 1．What did Confucius do to improve his study when he was young? A．He visited many famous teachers. B．He gave up studying. C．He only learned music. 2．Why did Confucius start the first private school? A．Because he wanted to be richer than others. B．Because he hoped that all people who wanted to learn could have the chance. C．Because the government asked him to do so. 3．According to the passage, which of the following is Confucius’ famous teaching idea? A．Learning by heart only. B．Only rich children have the right to learn. C．Learning and thinking should be combined. 4．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage? A．Confucius’ father died when he was a little boy. B．Confucius only learned music and history. C．Confucius taught people to be strict with others. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国古代著名思想家、教育家孔子的生平与思想贡献。 1．根据第二段中“But young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.”可知，孔子年轻时通过拜访很多名师来学习知识提升自己。 2．根据第三段中“At that time, only children from rich families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn.”可知，孔子创办私学是因为他相信每个想学习的人都应该有机会上学，而不仅仅是富家子弟。 3．根据第四段中“He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. ‘All study but no thinking makes people confused. All thinking but no study makes people foolish.’”可知，孔子提出“只学习不思考会让人困惑，只思考不学习会让人愚蠢”，说明他强调学习与思考相结合的重要性。 4．根据第二段中“His father died when he was only 3”可知，孔子父亲去世时他只有三岁，还是个小男孩。 Passage 3 AI (人工智能) is like giving a superpower to computers. It helps them to learn things and do tasks that people usually do. According to scientists, AI could be used to tell the weather more quickly and correctly than traditional methods (方法). The traditional way to tell the weather is by collecting data (数据) on what is happening in the air. The data may come from places like weather satellites (人造卫星), planes and so on. Then the data is sent to supercomputers for weather reports. Although supercomputers are powerful, it can take many hours to produce (产生) results. AI models have been developed (开发) to quickly tell future weather. They can tell the weather by using two sets of data: the weather at present and the weather from six hours ago. AI models are very helpful. They can be used on standard computers like office computers, and it only takes a few minutes to get the results. However, the results may not include (包括) as much information as those produced by traditional models. Will AI take the place of traditional models? Scientists say it probably won’t, but it will be used together with them. That’s because AI still needs to learn from the data collected by traditional methods. But hopefully, AI will be able to deal with tasks that older methods find difficult, such as telling when and how much it will rain in the near future. This could give people enough time to solve the problems caused (造成) by bad weather. 1．How does AI know about future weather? A．By learning from satellites. B．By comparing (对比) the past and present weather. C．By collecting data from different places. D．By watching what is happening in the sky. 2．What does the underlined word “standard” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．special B．slow C．normal D．expensive 3．Which task will AI probably do according to the last paragraph? A．Reporting how much it will rain. B．Offering people weather maps. C．Reporting when snow will end. D．Offering full weather information. 4．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．AI Will Cause Bad Weather B．AI Could Stop Bad Weather C．AI Could Tell Future Weather D．AI Will Change Future Weather 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了人工智能在天气预报领域的应用，包括其工作原理、与传统方法的对比以及未来的发展前景。 1．细节理解题。根据“They can tell the weather by using two sets of data: the weather at present and the weather from six hours ago.”可知，AI模型通过使用两组数据来预测天气：现在的天气和六小时前的天气。这意味着它通过对比过去和现在的天气状况来进行预测。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“They can be used on standard computers like office computers, and it only takes a few minutes to get the results.”以及“Although supercomputers are powerful…”可知，AI模型可以在像办公电脑这样的“standard”电脑上运行，这与前文提到的昂贵且庞大的超级计算机形成对比。办公电脑通常是普通的、常规的设备，因此standard意为“普通的；标准的”，与normal意思相近。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“…AI will be able to deal with tasks that older methods find difficult, such as telling when and how much it will rain in the near future.”可知，AI可能会完成传统方法觉得困难的任务，例如预测在不久的将来何时下雨以及下多少雨。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。根据第一段“According to scientists, AI could be used to tell the weather quickly and correctly…”及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕AI技术如何用于预测未来的天气展开，介绍了其原理、优势及与传统方法的结合。选项C“AI能够预测未来的天气”最适合作为文章标题。故选C。 Passage 4 Good morning, everyone! It’s time for the weather report. Today, we’re going to explore the weather conditions in five different cities around the world. Let’s dive in! In Beijing, the weather is cold and rainy. The temperature is around 10 degrees, making it a chilly (寒冷的) day. It’s a good idea to wear a warm coat and carry an umbrella if you’re planning to go outside. Moving on to Lhasa, we find a different kind of weather. It’s cloudy and windy there, with temperatures that are warmer than Beijing. However, the strong winds can make it feel quite cool, so it’s still important to dress warmly. Shanghai is experiencing rainy weather as well. The rain has been falling throughout the day, and the temperature is around 15 degrees. If you’re in Shanghai, make sure to bring your raincoat and perhaps some waterproof shoes to keep your feet dry. In Harbin, the weather is cold and snowy. The temperature has dropped significantly (明显地), making it one of the coldest cities on our list today. The snowfall has been heavy. If you’re planning to visit Harbin, be sure to pack your warmest clothes and perhaps some snow boots! Finally, we come to Hong Kong, where the weather couldn’t be more different. It’s sunny and hot, with temperatures soaring to around 25 degrees. If you’re in Hong Kong, you’ll want to wear light, breathable (透气的) clothing and perhaps carry a bottle of water to stay hydrated. So, there you have it! A quick look at the weather conditions in five different cities around the world. Remember, the weather can change rapidly, so always check the latest forecast before heading out. 1．What is the weather like in Beijing today? A． B．C． D． 2．Which city is experiencing snowy weather? A．Beijing. B．Shanghai. C．Harbin. D．Hong Kong. 3．What should you do if you’re planning to go outside in Lhasa? A．You should wear light clothing. B．You should wear warmly. C．You should bring an umbrella. D．You should wear snow boots. 4．If you want to travel around, which city is the best? A．Beijing. B．Shanghai. C．Lhasa. D．Hong Kong. 5．What is the structure of the passage? A．B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一则天气预报，介绍了北京、拉萨、上海、哈尔滨和香港五个城市当天的天气情况及出行建议。 1．细节理解题。根据“In Beijing, the weather is cold and rainy”可知北京天气寒冷且下雨，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“In Harbin, the weather is cold and snowy”可知哈尔滨下雪，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Lhasa…it’s still important to dress warmly”可知在拉萨需穿暖和衣物，故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“Hong Kong…sunny and hot…wear light, breathable clothing”可知香港天气舒适适合出行，故选D。 5．篇章结构题。全文结构为：①开场白/②—⑥五个城市天气分述/⑦总结建议，故选C。 Passage 5 In China, more and more people like to visit less famous places for trips instead of going to popular tourist spots. This new travel way is called “reverse tourism (反向旅游)”, and it’s getting more and more popular among young people these days. An online travel company says that during holidays, hotel bookings in less-known cities were 30% more than last year. The bookings of good hotels in these places even went up a lot—at least 10 times more than before. Many small and unknown spots also had far more visitors. For example, a park in Jinan, Shandong Province, had over 52,000 visitors in seven days during the holiday. That was about 16% more than the same time last year. All these numbers show the fast growth of reverse tourism. People choose to travel to less famous places for some simple reasons. First, there are not so many people there, so the trip is more relaxing. Second, traveling there costs less money than going to popular spots. What’s more, these places are not too commercial (商业化), so visitors can feel the real and special beauty of the local life. All these reasons tell us that people’s travel needs are changing, and that’s the main reason why reverse tourism is becoming popular. A reporter says reverse tourism is a good thing for everyone. It not only gives travelers more different travel choices but also helps the whole tourism market grow better. At the same time, it also makes less-known places try to improve their travel service for visitors. Jiang Han, a researcher, thinks reverse tourism will keep being popular in the future. He gives a good suggestion for the tourism market: we should search for the hidden beauty of these less-known places. We need to know more about their culture and show their special things to more people. 1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．A popular park in Shandong Province. B．The fast growth of reverse tourism. C．The service of good hotels in small cities. D．The work of an online travel company. 2．What is the main reason for the rise of reverse tourism? A．Less-known places have better hotels. B．People’s travel needs are changing. C．Popular spots are too cheap to visit. D．Young people hate traveling with others. 3．What does the reporter think of reverse tourism? A．It is good for travelers and the tourism market. B．It will make popular tourist spots lose visitors. C．It is only popular among young people now. D．It makes less-known places too commercial. 4．What advice does Jiang Han give for the tourism market? A．To build more hotels in popular tourist spots. B．To ask people not to travel to less-known places. C．To look for the hidden beauty of less-known places. D．To make more rules for online travel companies. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了“反向旅游”这一新兴旅行方式，包括其流行现状、数据表现、兴起原因、积极影响及未来建议。 1．原文第二段列举了节假日冷门城市酒店预订量、景点游客量的增长数据，最后一句提到“All these numbers show the fast growth of reverse tourism.”，由此可知第二段主要讲反向旅游的快速发展。 2．原文第三段提到“All these reasons tell us that people’s travel needs are changing, and that’s the main reason why reverse tourism is becoming popular.”，由此可知反向旅游兴起的主要原因是人们的旅行需求正在发生变化。 3．原文第四段提到“A reporter says reverse tourism is a good thing for everyone. It not only gives travelers more different travel choices but also helps the whole tourism market grow better.”，由此可知记者认为反向旅游对旅行者和旅游市场都有好处。 4．原文第五段提到“Jiang Han, a researcher, thinks reverse tourism will keep being popular in the future. He gives a good suggestion for the tourism market: we should search for the hidden beauty of these less-known places.”，由此可知江汉给旅游市场的建议是发掘冷门地点隐藏的美。 Passage 6 Traveling allows us to experience different seasons. We can enjoy beautiful flowers in the Spring City Kunming, swim in the warm sea in Sanya, or see autumn leaves in Beijing. But for a real winter wonderland, you cannot miss Harbin. As we all know, Harbin is in Heilongjiang Province. It is also called the “ice city”. There are many popular places to visit. One of the most exciting places is the Harbin Ice and Snow World. It opens every year from December to February. Inside, you’ll find lots of beautiful ice sculptures (雕塑). There are also exciting activities to try, such as skating and ice sliding (冰滑梯). But you’ll need to wait in a long line for the popular ice slides. If you love art, don’t miss Sun Island. Every winter, it holds a big snow sculpture festival. You can see lots of amazing artworks, like animals and famous buildings, all made of snow!If you feel cold, don’t worry. The park has warm houses, and you can find one every few minutes as you walk around. For those interested in history and culture, St. Sophia Cathedral is a must-see. It is a symbol of Harbin. The cathedral is about 53 meters high with a history of over 100 years. Today, it is a museum where people can learn about Harbin’s history and culture. Another famous place is Zhongyang Street. As one of China’s earliest walking streets, it is about 1.4 kilometers long. It feels like an open-air museum. Here, you can taste both Russian dishes and local Chinese food. So if you are ready for a winter adventure, Harbin is waiting for you. Come and see its snowy magic with your own eyes! 1．According to the passage, which city is the best choice for a “winter wonderland”? A．Kunming B．Sanya C．Harbin 2．What can we infer about the ice slides at the Harbin Ice and Snow World? A．They are free for all visitors. B．They are not very interesting. C．They are very popular with visitors. 3．What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A．Sun Island is a great place for art lovers. B．The snow sculptures on Sun Island are all of animals. C．Sun Island has the tallest buildings in Harbin. 4．Which of the following is TRUE about Zhongyang Street? A．It is a walking street and feels like an open-air museum. B．It’s about 53 kilometers long and has a history of 100 years. C．Visitors can taste both Spanish dishes and Chinese food there. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇介绍哈尔滨冬季旅游的说明文，主要介绍了哈尔滨作为“冰雪童话世界”的特色景点，包括哈尔滨冰雪大世界、太阳岛雪博会、圣索菲亚大教堂和中央大街等，展现了哈尔滨独特的冰雪魅力与人文风情。 1．根据文章第1段“But for a real winter wonderland, you cannot miss Harbin.”可知，要体验真正的“冬季仙境”，最佳选择是哈尔滨。 2．根据文章第2段“But you’ll need to wait in a long line for the popular ice slides.”可知，冰滑梯需要排长队才能玩，说明它非常受游客欢迎。A选项文中未提及是否免费，B选项与原文“exciting activities”不符。 3．第3段介绍了太阳岛雪博会，提到“it holds a big snow sculpture festival”和“amazing artworks, like animals and famous buildings, all made of snow”，核心是说明太阳岛是艺术爱好者的好去处。B选项“所有雪雕都是动物”表述错误，原文提到还有著名建筑；C选项文中未提及。 4．根据文章第5段“Another famous place is Zhongyang Street. As one of China’s earliest walking streets... It feels like an open-air museum.”可知，中央大街是步行街，像一座露天博物馆。B选项混淆了圣索菲亚大教堂的高度与中央大街的长度；C选项中 “Spanish dishes”错误，原文是“Russian dishes”。 Passage 7 Good study habits are important for all students. When you have good study habits, you will learn faster and have a good memory. It is useful to have a good memory. When someone says he has a good memory, it means that he keeps practising by using it. Do you usually study in the living room? This is not a good place for study because it is usually too noisy. You need to study in a quiet place, such as your bedroom. A quiet place will help you learn well. Before you begin to study, do not forget to clean your desk. I think it is necessary to put away your things. It helps you study well, too. Enough light is good for your study. You will feel tired easily if there is not enough light. Of all the good study habits, one has developed: asking questions is the key. Just ask. No one knows everything, but we can always learn from others by asking questions. Another simple but helpful habit is to tell yourself what you are studying for. Put your dream grades on your desk. It means you will see and think about it every day. When do you work best? Are you an early bird or a night owl (夜猫子), or something in between? Find your most productive (高效率的) work time and then plan to study at the time. I believe you will make great progress in your study. 1．What does “a good memory” mean according to the text? A．You are born with a very strong memory. B．You can remember everything easily. C．You keep practicing by using it. 2．What is the key good study habit mentioned in the text? A．Cleaning your desk before study. B．Asking questions. C．Studying at night. 3．What is the writer’s advice on study time? A．Study early in the morning. B．Study late at night. C．Find your most productive work time. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Good Study Habits. B．How to Have a Good Memory. C．The Best Places to Study. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了良好学习习惯的重要性，介绍了学习环境、提问、明确目标、高效学习时间等多种实用的学习习惯建议。 1．第一段指出：“When someone says he has a good memory, it means that he keeps practicing by using it.”，这直接说明“好记性”意味着不断通过使用来练习。 2．第三段指出：“Of all the good study habits, one has developed: asking questions is the key.”，这直接说明文中提到的关键学习习惯是提问。 3．第四段给出建议：“Find your most productive work time and then plan to study at the time.”，这直接说明作者关于学习时间的建议是找到自己最高效的工作时段。 4．全文围绕 “Good study habits” 展开，介绍了多种学习习惯及其重要性，因此最佳标题是“Good Study Habits.”。        Passage 8 Dear Mr. Li, I’m writing to say thank you to you. You are my English teacher in Grade Seven, and you changed my life about English learning. When I first came to middle school, I hated English very much. I couldn’t remember any English words, and I was afraid to speak English in class. I always sat in the corner and never answered your questions. But you didn’t ignore me. You called me to your office one day and talked with me patiently. You said, “English is not hard. As long as you take it step by step and keep practicing, you will learn it well.” After that, you paid more attention to me in class. You often asked me simple questions and encouraged me to answer them. When I made mistakes, you never laughed at me but corrected them carefully. You also told me some good ways to remember words, like making word lists and reading English stories every day. You even lent me your own English storybooks to read after class. With your help, I started to like English little by little. I began to recite words every morning and read English articles for 15 minutes every night. Now, my English grade is much better than before. I even won the third prize in the school English competition last month. Mr. Li, thank you for your love and encouragement. You are like a light in my study life. Your words and methods still guide me now. I will keep learning English hard and never give up. Yours sincerely, Zhang Wei 1．Why did Zhang Wei hate English at first? A．He thought English was too hard. B．Mr. Li was very strict with him. C．He had no time to learn English.

It usually falls around April 4th or 5th in the calendar. This festival can be dated back to the Zhou Dynasty, over 2,500 years ago. At first, it was a simple solar term to guide farmers to work in agricultural production. But slowly, it connected with the Cold Food Festival, and became a day for us to pay respects to people who passed away. On Qingming Festival, people have several traditional customs. One of the most famous is tomb-sweeping. Families will go to the tombs in memory of the dead, to show their love and missing. Another important custom is flying kites. It is said that flying kites on Qingming Festival can bring good luck and drive away bad luck. In addition, people also like to go for an outing during this festival.

Eating mooncakes? Admiring (欣赏) the moon? Do you want to know more about what Chinese people do these days during this festival? ②In the past, families stayed at home during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday to enjoy a dinner together and admire the moon. With the quick development of our country, people’s lives have improved. Now, many people like to travel during holidays. Last year, Beijing, Chengdu and Guangzhou were among the top places to go during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. ③In China, family reunions are important. In the past, people would visit their relatives (亲戚) and friends during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and children would get hongbao from the elders. Now, sending hongbao to family and friends by phone becomes more popular. ④ For adding fun, people enjoy sending and getting hongbao in online chat groups. There are two main types: “regular hongbao” where people can set the same amount of money, and “hongbao lucky draw” where the amount received (收到) depends on luck. ⑤ Food plays an important part in Chinese culture. As the saying goes, “▲” Chinese people always have natural creativity in food.

Losing one's way in the forest can be an uneasy and terrible experience. However, if you find you've got lost, stop at once. In many cases, you will find that following your footsteps will bring you back to the road. If not, follow these steps: Stay calm. If you get lost, panic is your greatest enemy. If you run wildly around, even for a little while you could lose your sense of direction. Try to remember how you got to your present location. Start marking. Leave markers wherever you go, so you can return back. Also, if people try to rescue（营救）you, they will look for markers. So make as many of them as you can. On every turn, try to mark the direction you are taking. You got off the road, maybe ten minutes ago, so if you retrace（折回）more than that time, you know you are on the wrong way. Stay put. Remember that if you can't retrace your steps, then it's better to just stay where you are and let the searchers find you. Sing loudly or shout for help when you hear others trying to find you. If you have a whistle （哨子）, blow it. Moreover, stay in the open so they can find you easily. Do not hide in the unseen areas. Follow down a river. It can be hard to go but will often lead to a road. And you will finally come back to a village or a town. 1．If you can't retrace your steps, what should you do to help the searchers find you? A．Hide in the unseen areas of the forest.

Do not  hide in the unseen areas.” 可知，无法原路返回时，应待在开阔处并呼救。因此，正确答案为 C。 2．题意：第三段中划线词 “them” 指的是什么？ 词义猜测题。第三段首句提到  “Leave markers wherever you go”（无论走到哪里都留下标记），随后说 “so you can return  back. Also... they will look for markers. So make as many of them as you  can.” 结合上下文逻辑，“them” 指代前文提到的 “markers（标记）”。因此，正确答案为 C。 3．题意：留下标记的原因是什么？ 细节理解题。根据第三段  “Leave markers wherever you go, so you can return back.（留下标记以便原路返回）”“if  people try to rescue you, they will look for markers.（帮助搜救人员找到你）”“On  every turn, try to mark the direction you are taking.（标记行进方向）”  可知，留下标记的原因包括①②④。因此，正确答案为 A。 4．题意：迷路时最大的敌人是什么？ 细节理解题。根据第二段首句 “If you get lost, panic is your greatest enemy.”（如果你迷路了，恐慌是你最大的敌人。） 可知，最大的敌人是恐慌。因此，正确答案为 C。 5．题意：这篇文章的主旨是什么？ 主旨大意题。文章开篇点出 “许多人在山中迷路”，随后详细介绍了迷路后的应对方法：保持冷静、留下标记、待在原地、沿河流下行等，核心是 “如何在森林中找到出路”。因此，正确答案为 C。 Passage 13 I used to be very shy. I was afraid I would do or say something wrong, so usually I just listened to other people’s conversations. My teacher, Mrs. Smith, always encouraged me to communicate with others. One day, she told us that our class would put on a play she had written. “I need someone to play the lead role. Does anybody want to try?” she asked. A few excited hands shot up, mine wasn’t one of them. Mrs. Smith walked up to me and said, “I think you’re perfect for it. But you don’t raise your hand.” Me, the lead? Was she crazy? Mrs. Smith continued, “I have been considering you for the role while writing the play! If you really don’t want to, I won’t force you. It’s your choice.” Suddenly, I realized it was time to throw away my shyness and show the world who I really was. I looked at Mrs. Smith right in her eyes and said, “OK, I’ll try.” After five months of practicing, the big day finally arrived. My knees shook and my heart beat like I’d just run a mile. “It doesn’t matter how you do tonight,” said Mrs. Smith, as if reading my thoughts when she came backstage (后台) for a final check. “You’ve already shown yourself how wonderful you are.

Once I got home from work that evening, I saw they were already at my door. So prompt! Have you ever thought about how people in the past communicated and did things without mobile phones? Take the post for example. Before phones, if you wanted to keep in touch with someone far away, you needed to send them a letter in the mail. When my mom was in primary school, she used to do this with her “pen pal”. A pen pal is a name for a person you keep in touch with mainly through postal mail. My mom would write to her pen pal every few months, and then, after a little while, her pen pal would write back. Later, once email became a common thing, sending letters by post felt so slow to people. It became known as “snail mail”! What if you were at an airport in the time before mobile phones? My dad said that in the 1970s, there used to be message boards at some airports.

Although he was born over 2,000 years ago, people still remember him on this day. His childhood was sad. His father died when he was only 3, so he had to work to help his mother. But young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports. Later, he became a teacher and began his career. He started the first private school (私学) in Chinese history. At that time, only children from rich families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime. Today, people still follow his ideas. He told us that each person has something worthy (值得的) to learn and teach. “When I’m with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas.” He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people confused. All thinking but no study makes people foolish.” Confucius is not only a great teacher but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness. “All people should care for others. Be strict with yourself, but be kind to others,” he said. Confucius spent all his life working on education and made great achievements. 1．What did Confucius do to improve his study when he was young? A．He visited many famous teachers. B．He gave up studying. C．He only learned music. 2．Why did Confucius start the first private school? A．Because he wanted to be richer than others. B．Because he hoped that all people who wanted to learn could have the chance. C．Because the government asked him to do so. 3．According to the passage, which of the following is Confucius’ famous teaching idea? A．Learning by heart only. B．Only rich children have the right to learn. C．Learning and thinking should be combined. 4．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage? A．Confucius’ father died when he was a little boy. B．Confucius only learned music and history. C．Confucius taught people to be strict with others. Passage 3 AI (人工智能) is like giving a superpower to computers. It helps them to learn things and do tasks that people usually do. According to scientists, AI could be used to tell the weather more quickly and correctly than traditional methods (方法). The traditional way to tell the weather is by collecting data (数据) on what is happening in the air. The data may come from places like weather satellites (人造卫星), planes and so on. Then the data is sent to supercomputers for weather reports. Although supercomputers are powerful, it can take many hours to produce (产生) results. AI models have been developed (开发) to quickly tell future weather. They can tell the weather by using two sets of data: the weather at present and the weather from six hours ago. AI models are very helpful. They can be used on standard computers like office computers, and it only takes a few minutes to get the results. However, the results may not include (包括) as much information as those produced by traditional models. Will AI take the place of traditional models? Scientists say it probably won’t, but it will be used together with them. That’s because AI still needs to learn from the data collected by traditional methods. But hopefully, AI will be able to deal with tasks that older methods find difficult, such as telling when and how much it will rain in the near future. This could give people enough time to solve the problems caused (造成) by bad weather. 1．How does AI know about future weather? A．By learning from satellites. B．By comparing (对比) the past and present weather. C．By collecting data from different places. D．By watching what is happening in the sky. 2．What does the underlined word “standard” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．special B．slow C．normal D．expensive 3．Which task will AI probably do according to the last paragraph? A．Reporting how much it will rain. B．Offering people weather maps. C．Reporting when snow will end. D．Offering full weather information. 4．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．AI Will Cause Bad Weather B．AI Could Stop Bad Weather C．AI Could Tell Future Weather D．AI Will Change Future Weather Passage 4 Good morning, everyone! It’s time for the weather report. Today, we’re going to explore the weather conditions in five different cities around the world. Let’s dive in! In Beijing, the weather is cold and rainy. The temperature is around 10 degrees, making it a chilly (寒冷的) day. It’s a good idea to wear a warm coat and carry an umbrella if you’re planning to go outside. Moving on to Lhasa, we find a different kind of weather. It’s cloudy and windy there, with temperatures that are warmer than Beijing. However, the strong winds can make it feel quite cool, so it’s still important to dress warmly. Shanghai is experiencing rainy weather as well. The rain has been falling throughout the day, and the temperature is around 15 degrees. If you’re in Shanghai, make sure to bring your raincoat and perhaps some waterproof shoes to keep your feet dry. In Harbin, the weather is cold and snowy. The temperature has dropped significantly (明显地), making it one of the coldest cities on our list today. The snowfall has been heavy. If you’re planning to visit Harbin, be sure to pack your warmest clothes and perhaps some snow boots! Finally, we come to Hong Kong, where the weather couldn’t be more different. It’s sunny and hot, with temperatures soaring to around 25 degrees. If you’re in Hong Kong, you’ll want to wear light, breathable (透气的) clothing and perhaps carry a bottle of water to stay hydrated. So, there you have it! A quick look at the weather conditions in five different cities around the world. Remember, the weather can change rapidly, so always check the latest forecast before heading out. 1．What is the weather like in Beijing today? A． B．C． D． 2．Which city is experiencing snowy weather?

This new travel way is called “reverse tourism (反向旅游)”, and it’s getting more and more popular among young people these days. An online travel company says that during holidays, hotel bookings in less-known cities were 30% more than last year. The bookings of good hotels in these places even went up a lot—at least 10 times more than before. Many small and unknown spots also had far more visitors. For example, a park in Jinan, Shandong Province, had over 52,000 visitors in seven days during the holiday. That was about 16% more than the same time last year. All these numbers show the fast growth of reverse tourism. People choose to travel to less famous places for some simple reasons. First, there are not so many people there, so the trip is more relaxing. Second, traveling there costs less money than going to popular spots. What’s more, these places are not too commercial (商业化), so visitors can feel the real and special beauty of the local life. All these reasons tell us that people’s travel needs are changing, and that’s the main reason why reverse tourism is becoming popular. A reporter says reverse tourism is a good thing for everyone. It not only gives travelers more different travel choices but also helps the whole tourism market grow better. At the same time, it also makes less-known places try to improve their travel service for visitors. Jiang Han, a researcher, thinks reverse tourism will keep being popular in the future. He gives a good suggestion for the tourism market: we should search for the hidden beauty of these less-known places. We need to know more about their culture and show their special things to more people. 1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．A popular park in Shandong Province. B．The fast growth of reverse tourism. C．The service of good hotels in small cities. D．The work of an online travel company. 2．What is the main reason for the rise of reverse tourism? A．Less-known places have better hotels. B．People’s travel needs are changing. C．Popular spots are too cheap to visit. D．Young people hate traveling with others. 3．What does the reporter think of reverse tourism? A．It is good for travelers and the tourism market. B．It will make popular tourist spots lose visitors. C．It is only popular among young people now. D．It makes less-known places too commercial. 4．What advice does Jiang Han give for the tourism market? A．To build more hotels in popular tourist spots. B．To ask people not to travel to less-known places. C．To look for the hidden beauty of less-known places. D．To make more rules for online travel companies. Passage 6 Traveling allows us to experience different seasons. We can enjoy beautiful flowers in the Spring City Kunming, swim in the warm sea in Sanya, or see autumn leaves in Beijing. But for a real winter wonderland, you cannot miss Harbin. As we all know, Harbin is in Heilongjiang Province. It is also called the “ice city”. There are many popular places to visit. One of the most exciting places is the Harbin Ice and Snow World. It opens every year from December to February. Inside, you’ll find lots of beautiful ice sculptures (雕塑). There are also exciting activities to try, such as skating and ice sliding (冰滑梯). But you’ll need to wait in a long line for the popular ice slides. If you love art, don’t miss Sun Island. Every winter, it holds a big snow sculpture festival. You can see lots of amazing artworks, like animals and famous buildings, all made of snow!If you feel cold, don’t worry. The park has warm houses, and you can find one every few minutes as you walk around. For those interested in history and culture, St. Sophia Cathedral is a must-see. It is a symbol of Harbin. The cathedral is about 53 meters high with a history of over 100 years. Today, it is a museum where people can learn about Harbin’s history and culture. Another famous place is Zhongyang Street. As one of China’s earliest walking streets, it is about 1.4 kilometers long. It feels like an open-air museum. Here, you can taste both Russian dishes and local Chinese food. So if you are ready for a winter adventure, Harbin is waiting for you. Come and see its snowy magic with your own eyes! 1．According to the passage, which city is the best choice for a “winter wonderland”?

When you have good study habits, you will learn faster and have a good memory. It is useful to have a good memory. When someone says he has a good memory, it means that he keeps practising by using it. Do you usually study in the living room? This is not a good place for study because it is usually too noisy. You need to study in a quiet place, such as your bedroom. A quiet place will help you learn well. Before you begin to study, do not forget to clean your desk. I think it is necessary to put away your things. It helps you study well, too. Enough light is good for your study. You will feel tired easily if there is not enough light. Of all the good study habits, one has developed: asking questions is the key. Just ask. No one knows everything, but we can always learn from others by asking questions. Another simple but helpful habit is to tell yourself what you are studying for. Put your dream grades on your desk. It means you will see and think about it every day. When do you work best? Are you an early bird or a night owl (夜猫子), or something in between? Find your most productive (高效率的) work time and then plan to study at the time. I believe you will make great progress in your study. 1．What does “a good memory” mean according to the text? A．You are born with a very strong memory. B．You can remember everything easily.

I was afraid I would do or say something wrong, so usually I just listened to other people’s conversations. My teacher, Mrs. Smith, always encouraged me to communicate with others. One day, she told us that our class would put on a play she had written. “I need someone to play the lead role. Does anybody want to try?” she asked. A few excited hands shot up, mine wasn’t one of them. Mrs. Smith walked up to me and said, “I think you’re perfect for it. But you don’t raise your hand.” Me, the lead? Was she crazy? Mrs. Smith continued, “I have been considering you for the role while writing the play! If you really don’t want to, I won’t force you. It’s your choice.” Suddenly, I realized it was time to throw away my shyness and show the world who I really was. I looked at Mrs. Smith right in her eyes and said, “OK, I’ll try.” After five months of practicing, the big day finally arrived. My knees shook and my heart beat like I’d just run a mile. “It doesn’t matter how you do tonight,” said Mrs. Smith, as if reading my thoughts when she came backstage (后台) for a final check. “You’ve already shown yourself how wonderful you are. That’s the most important thing.” I smiled because I knew she was right.

How do you feel about it? Would you prefer to live in a world with or without mobile phones? I ordered some snacks on my phone the other afternoon. Once I got home from work that evening, I saw they were already at my door. So prompt! Have you ever thought about how people in the past communicated and did things without mobile phones? Take the post for example. Before phones, if you wanted to keep in touch with someone far away, you needed to send them a letter in the mail. When my mom was in primary school, she used to do this with her “pen pal”. A pen pal is a name for a person you keep in touch with mainly through postal mail. My mom would write to her pen pal every few months, and then, after a little while, her pen pal would write back. Later, once email became a common thing, sending letters by post felt so slow to people. It became known as “snail mail”! What if you were at an airport in the time before mobile phones? My dad said that in the 1970s, there used to be message boards at some airports. If you needed to exit (离开) the airport and wanted to leave a message for a friend who would be arriving later, you could write them a message and stick it on the message board.

Passage 15 Chinese New Year painting, or nianhua in Chinese, is a kind of traditional painting to be put up on walls and windows during the Spring Festival. Its bright colors and different subjects show the Chinese great expectation for happiness and wealth. Chinese New Year painting is an old handicraft. Its original (最初的) form was a picture of a door god during the Tang Dynasty. Later, more subjects such as the Kitchen God, women and babies were included.

One of the most famous woodblock New Year paintings comes from Yangjiabu of Shandong Province. It covers all kinds of themes and forms. They reflect people’s everyday life. As time went by, people found New Year paintings old-fashioned. Besides, they considered the door god too frightening to hang in their homes. They wanted something more artistic. So in the middle of the 1980s, the sales of New Year paintings dropped greatly. Usually, colorful woodblock New Year paintings are produced in four steps. Firstly, artists draw a simple sketch (素描) on the paper. Secondly, they make the simple sketch on the wooden board and print a few samples. Thirdly, they add color to the sample.

Passage 16 Hanfu fashion has become more and more popular with young people. China has followed Western fashion designs in recent years, but a growing number of young people are now looking to the past for fashion ideas. If you look closely around your city, you might notice hanfu, the traditional clothing of the Han dynasty. In a recently published report by an online shopping platform, about 2 million hanfu clothes were sold in 2020, nearly 4 times as many as those sold in 2019. Most of the buyers are between 19 and 24 years old. But why has this traditional clothing become popular with young Chinese people? For some of them, it’s a costume for relaxation. Dafan, a 24-year-old college student, told CGTN that dressing in hanfu is a way for her to get away from the troubles of real life. Modern clothing, on the other hand, represents the identity (身份) people need to show every day. “Hanfu and modern clothing help me to show the different sides in me,” she said.
