From the highest mountains to the deepest oceans, every natural wonder tells a story of nature’s power and beauty. Last year, I had the chance to visit two amazing natural wonders, and the experience changed my view of nature. The first wonder I visited was the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. It is famous for its tall and strange rocks that stand straight in the forest. The rocks are covered with green plants, and when the mist comes, the park looks like a fairyland. I walked along the path and enjoyed the fresh air and beautiful scenery. I also saw many monkeys playing in the trees, which made the park full of life. This visit made me realize how beautiful and magical nature is. The second natural wonder I visited was the Dead Sea. Unlike other seas, the Dead Sea is so salty that no fish can live in it. When you go into the water, you can float easily without swimming. My parents and I floated in the water and took many photos. I also learned that the Dead Sea has special minerals that are good for our skin. This experience taught me that nature has many surprises waiting for us to discover. Visiting these natural wonders was a great experience. It made me love nature more and want to protect it. I hope everyone can have the chance to explore nature’s wonders and learn to cherish our beautiful planet. 1．What can we learn about Zhangjiajie from the passage?

B．Reasons for strange rocks in Zhangjiajie. C．Two natural wonders and the writer’s trip. D．Suggestions on sea protection. Passage 2 There are four seasons in a year. They are spring, summer, autumn and winter. All seasons have their colours. What is every season’s colour? Spring is green. When spring comes, trees and grass begin to grow. When we see green, we usually feel comfortable. For me, spring is the best season for going out. Summer is different. It’s usually very hot, so the season is red. In summer, the flowers look so beautiful. Some people like summer because they can go swimming. It is a good sport in summer. It usually gets cool in autumn. The rice in the fields and fruit on the trees are signs of autumn. Its colour is gold. Farmers are usually busy. Of course, they are happy too. For me, it’s also a good season for doing sports. What about winter? When it snows, everything becomes white. So it is a white season. Winter is usually cold. But snow surprises and excites us. People enjoy skating and making snowmen in winter. 1．People usually feel ________ when they see green. A．cool B．warm C．quiet D．comfortable 2．Why do some people like summer?

Red sky in the morning, sailors (水手) take warning.” Is the saying true? It turns out that it is. A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming. Forecasting the weather has been practiced for thousands of years. In the 5th century BC, the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors. They used signs in nature to forecast the weather. But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance (提前). They use scientific instruments to study weather conditions around the world and make forecasts. Pilots, farmers and many other people depend on these forecasts. Luckily, most of us can simply look on the smart phone or turn on the TV to find out what kind of weather is coming. If you are looking for some signs of the weather, pay attention to nature. There are two basic rules used in weather forecasting: Weather generally moves from west to east, and low air pressure usually means rain or snow. So pay attention to the signs. If rainbows form in the west at sunrise, the sun is on the way. Smell the flowers—their smells are stronger in wet air. What are the ants doing? Are they moving to higher ground? This could mean a drop in air pressure. Are the birds flying low or high? Falling air pressure may influence birds’ ears, so they fly low. And if the sky is red at sunset, you might plan a picnic for the next day! 1．What is the old saying about? A．The beauty of sunrise.B．The night sky. C．The signs of the weather. D．The sailors’ work. 2．What does the underlined word “meteorologists” mean? A．The persons who give daily weather reports on TV. B．The persons who carry out research on natural history. C．The persons who take an interest in plants and animals. D．The persons who do scientific studies of weather conditions. 3．How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 2? A．By listing the reasons for terrible weather. B．By telling a true story about weather forecasting. C．By introducing different ways of forecasting the weather. D．By mentioning the difficulties in forecasting the weather. 4．What do we know from the last paragraph? A．It’ll be sunny if ants move to higher places. B．The smells of flowers are stronger in wet air. C．Birds fly higher because of the low air pressure. D．It’ll rain if rainbows form in the west at sunrise. 话题2 安全与救护、自我保护 Passage 1 （25-26八年级下·湖北襄阳·期中）Accidents may happen in our daily life.

Avoid hiking on rainy, windy or stormy days. Bad weather will make roads slippery and increase the risk of falling. If the weather changes suddenly during hiking, find a safe place to rest in time. Second, wear proper clothes and shoes. Wear light and breathable clothes. Sports shoes with soft soles are the best choice to protect your feet. It is also necessary to wear a hat and sunglasses to avoid strong sunlight. Do not wear tight or new shoes, which may make you feel uncomfortable. Third, prepare necessary supplies. Take enough water and high-energy food such as nuts and bread. A first-aid bag with band-aids and common medicine is essential. You’d better take a mobile phone with full power for communication. Fourth, hike in groups and follow fixed routes. Never walk alone in wild mountains. Keep in touch with your partners all the time. Do not walk into unknown deep forests or cliffs.

We also don’t want classmates to touch our books, pens or schoolbags without asking. Other boundaries are about our feelings. We may not want to join a game or share our snacks with someone. It is not rude to say “no” politely. In fact, saying “no” can help us stay true to ourselves. Respecting others’ boundaries is also key. If our classmates say “no” to us, we should stop asking and respect their choice. We should never laugh at them for saying “no”.

You can try this project at home. You need some tape, a pin, paper, three cans, and two big thick books. Now, we’re going to build the solar tower. First, make a pinwheel with a piece of square paper. In the second stage, cut off the tops and bottoms of the cans, pile up the cans and stick them with tape. Next, use a pin to connect the pinwheel with the tower. Finally, put the tower on top of the books, which are five centimeters apart. So there’s a gap at the bottom, allowing the air to enter the tower. Now, all we have to do is to set the whole thing near a window, where there’s direct sunlight. When the sun shines on the tower, it gets hot and warms the air in it. The warmer air moves upward through the tower and makes the pinwheel turn around as it passes by. Then cooler air comes in through the gap from the bottom of the tower, gets heated, and rises, so the cycle goes on. This is how it works. Isn’t it wonderful? So next time you feel the warm sun on your face, remember that it’s more than just a nice feeling. Sunlight is a powerful and useful source of energy. 1．What do you need to build the solar tower according to the passage? ① tape and cans   ② paper   ③ water   ④ a wheel   ⑤ scissors or knives   ⑥ two books A．①②⑤⑥ B．①③④⑤ C．②④⑤⑥ D．①②③⑤ 2．What is the pin used for in this solar tower project?

It helps people eat less junk food through a game. In the game, healthy food always appears in green circles and unhealthy food always comes in red circles. Some everyday objects, such as pencils and sweaters, appear randomly (随机地) in the green or red circles. When a user clicks (点击) on the healthy food or an object in the green circle, he can get a point. If he clicks on unhealthy food or any other object in red circles, he will lose a point. Does this simple game work well? The developers of the app did a study. They invited more than 1,200 volunteers to play the game once a day. After a month, the volunteers reported their changes. Most of them said they ate more healthy food. Some volunteers used to eat junk food two to four times a week. At the end of the study, they only ate once a week. And almost each volunteer lost some weight. Why does the app work so well? It’s because it uses brain training techniques (技术). The game trains users’ brains to reduce (减少) their cravings (渴望) for junk food . Through practice, users lose interest in junk food in their life. But they need to play it at certain times and not stop. The app is free and it only takes about four minutes every day, so people can do it not just at home but anywhere.

Passage 2 Red Star Over China, a must-read book for Chinese junior high school students, came from the American reporter Edgar Snow’s special experiences. In the summer of 1936, he set off for the revolutionary base (革命根据地) in Northwest China. As many foreigners knew little about the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Red Army, he went there in person to find out the real stories behind them. During his stay, Snow heard and recorded many stories of the Long March. The Red Army covered about 25,000 li, climbing high mountains, crossing big rivers and walking through wide grasslands. They faced heavy rain, strong wind and snowstorms, fighting enemies while beating cold and hunger. After hard marching and fighting, the Red Army achieved the final victory of the Long March. Snow also had the chance to meet great revolutionary leaders, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and so on. He noticed them lead a simple life and felt their unshakable revolutionary spirit. Though living in difficult conditions short of materials, these leaders always remained hopeful about the nation’s future and had a deep love for their country and people. Later, Snow turned all his experiences and discoveries into the book Red Star Over China. This meaningful book lets us know the Red Army’s true stories. After reading the book, we can learn to be brave and never give up in the face of difficulties. The book deepens our love for the motherland and makes us value today’s happy life more. 1．Why did Snow go to the revolutionary base in Northwest China? A．To report the facts. B．To admire the Red Army. C．To share his stories. D．To publish his new book. 2．What does Paragraph 2 mainly describe? A．The hardship of the Red Army. B．The importance of the book.

First, you should know where your money comes from. It may be pocket money from your parents, money by helping with housework, or prizes from school activities. Knowing the source helps you value it more. Second, make a simple plan. Write down what you spend money on every week, such as snacks, school things and online games. You will find out what is necessary and what is not. Cut down the unnecessary cost and save the rest. Saving is also important. You can put a part of your money in a savings box or a bank account. It can help you when you really need money for a book, a gift or something unexpected. Some students may follow others and buy things they don’t really need just to keep up with their friends. That is not smart. You should learn to make good choices by yourself. Learning to manage money not only helps you form good habits, but also makes you understand the importance of hard work. It will benefit you a lot as you grow up. 1．What is the first paragraph mainly about? A．How teenagers make money. B．Why money management matters. C．Where teenagers get money.

Passage 3 With the development of mobile payment, more and more children are not using paper money now. A survey shows 86% of people in China use mobile phones to pay. For students, they seldom touch (触碰) the paper money in their everyday life. They may only do it when they get lucky money during the Spring Festival. When they need to buy something, they usually don’t reach into their pockets for paper money. They use their digital (电子的) watches. So many children ask their parents, “Why not keep money in the mobile phone or the watch?” Hearing the question from their children, many parents start to worry. “Our children don’t know much about money. For them, money is just numbers. They have no idea where money comes from or how hard one makes money. This is bad for them.” one mother says. To solve the problem, parents start to provide chances for their children to use paper money. For example, they give paper money for their children to do some shopping. To solve the problem, these years, a few schools in some cities begin to give special math classes to teach students about money. During the class, teachers show all the paper money and coins (硬币) to students and teach them yuan, jiao and fen. What’s more, the teachers ask the students to do simple calculations (简单的计算): from jiao to yuan or from yuan to fen. Mr. Wang, a math teacher, says, “Most children know little about money, so we need to help them get to know it. It’s a hard job, but the classes will be helpful to them.” 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By showing a picture. B．By showing a fact. C．By asking a question. D．By giving an example. 2．What do the underlined word “ it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Saving money. B．Using the digital watches. C．Using mobile phones to pay.

Passage 2 The China International Search and Rescue Team (CISAR) was set up in 2001. It brings help and hope to those whose lives are changed by a storm, an earthquake, or other natural disasters (灾难). After long and careful training, the Chinese team went on its first international rescue tasks in 2003. That year, the team helped save lives after earthquakes in Algeria and Iran. It was the first time that the CISAR had worked outside China, and the team won high praise for their bravery (勇敢) and skill. Since then, the CISAR has completed lots of rescue tasks. They struggled in difficult conditions to rescue people in Indonesia, Haiti and Pakistan. Rescue workers are trained to find people, treat injuries, and hand out food, water, and other things. They have to be able to do difficult work when it is very dangerous. For example, there is usually no electricity or water after a disaster, and there may be illnesses and accidents. Rescue workers get to save lives, but they must also deal with death. That means they have to be strong in both body and mind. Rescue workers must have big hearts, too. It takes lots of love and courage to risk (冒险) their own lives to save someone else’s. The members of the CISAR are always ready to go wherever help is needed. The CISAR members leave their homes and families for a job that offers little pay and less sleep. We can’t imagine how much they have sacrificed (牺牲) selflessly.

From the highest mountains to the deepest oceans, every natural wonder tells a story of nature’s power and beauty. Last year, I had the chance to visit two amazing natural wonders, and the experience changed my view of nature. The first wonder I visited was the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. It is famous for its tall and strange rocks that stand straight in the forest. The rocks are covered with green plants, and when the mist comes, the park looks like a fairyland. I walked along the path and enjoyed the fresh air and beautiful scenery. I also saw many monkeys playing in the trees, which made the park full of life. This visit made me realize how beautiful and magical nature is. The second natural wonder I visited was the Dead Sea. Unlike other seas, the Dead Sea is so salty that no fish can live in it. When you go into the water, you can float easily without swimming. My parents and I floated in the water and took many photos. I also learned that the Dead Sea has special minerals that are good for our skin. This experience taught me that nature has many surprises waiting for us to discover. Visiting these natural wonders was a great experience. It made me love nature more and want to protect it. I hope everyone can have the chance to explore nature’s wonders and learn to cherish our beautiful planet. 1．What can we learn about Zhangjiajie from the passage?

They are spring, summer, autumn and winter. All seasons have their colours. What is every season’s colour? Spring is green. When spring comes, trees and grass begin to grow. When we see green, we usually feel comfortable. For me, spring is the best season for going out. Summer is different. It’s usually very hot, so the season is red. In summer, the flowers look so beautiful. Some people like summer because they can go swimming. It is a good sport in summer. It usually gets cool in autumn. The rice in the fields and fruit on the trees are signs of autumn. Its colour is gold. Farmers are usually busy. Of course, they are happy too. For me, it’s also a good season for doing sports. What about winter? When it snows, everything becomes white. So it is a white season. Winter is usually cold. But snow surprises and excites us. People enjoy skating and making snowmen in winter. 1．People usually feel ________ when they see green. A．cool B．warm C．quiet D．comfortable 2．Why do some people like summer? A．Because they can see green trees. B．Because they can go swimming. C．Because they can enjoy the gold-coloured fields.

D．How people have a good time in different seasons. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文介绍了一年中四个季节各自的代表颜色、天气特点及相关活动，展现了不同季节的独特魅力。 【详解】1．根据第二段中“When we see green, we usually feel comfortable.”可知，人们看到绿色会感觉舒适。 2．根据第三段中“Some people like summer because they can go swimming.”可知，人们喜欢夏天的原因是可以游泳。 3．根据第四段中“Farmers are usually busy. Of course, they are happy too.”可知，代词“they”指代前一句的主语“Farmers”。 4．根据最后一段中“People enjoy skating and making snowmen in winter.”可知，冬天人们喜欢滑冰和堆雪人。 5．文章首段提出“What is every season's colour?”，随后各段分别介绍了春（绿色）、夏（红色）、秋（金色）、冬（白色）的颜色及相关活动，全文围绕四季的颜色展开。 Passage 3 An old saying used for forecasting (预测) the weather says, “Red sky at night, sailors’ delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors (水手) take warning.” Is the saying true? It turns out that it is. A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming. Forecasting the weather has been practiced for thousands of years. In the 5th century BC, the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors. They used signs in nature to forecast the weather. But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance (提前). They use scientific instruments to study weather conditions around the world and make forecasts. Pilots, farmers and many other people depend on these forecasts. Luckily, most of us can simply look on the smart phone or turn on the TV to find out what kind of weather is coming. If you are looking for some signs of the weather, pay attention to nature. There are two basic rules used in weather forecasting: Weather generally moves from west to east, and low air pressure usually means rain or snow. So pay attention to the signs. If rainbows form in the west at sunrise, the sun is on the way. Smell the flowers—their smells are stronger in wet air. What are the ants doing? Are they moving to higher ground? This could mean a drop in air pressure. Are the birds flying low or high? Falling air pressure may influence birds’ ears, so they fly low. And if the sky is red at sunset, you might plan a picnic for the next day! 1．What is the old saying about? A．The beauty of sunrise.B．The night sky. C．The signs of the weather. D．The sailors’ work. 2．What does the underlined word “meteorologists” mean? A．The persons who give daily weather reports on TV. B．The persons who carry out research on natural history. C．The persons who take an interest in plants and animals. D．The persons who do scientific studies of weather conditions. 3．How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 2? A．By listing the reasons for terrible weather. B．By telling a true story about weather forecasting. C．By introducing different ways of forecasting the weather. D．By mentioning the difficulties in forecasting the weather. 4．What do we know from the last paragraph? A．It’ll be sunny if ants move to higher places. B．The smells of flowers are stronger in wet air. C．Birds fly higher because of the low air pressure. D．It’ll rain if rainbows form in the west at sunrise. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要围绕天气预测展开。先通过一句古老的天气预测谚语引出话题，接着讲述天气预测的历史，从古希腊人利用自然迹象预测天气到如今气象学家利用科学仪器提前准确预测天气，最后介绍了一些观察自然迹象预测天气的方法。 1．第一段开头提出一句用于预测天气的古老谚语，接着围绕该谚语解释了日落和日出时天空呈现红色分别代表的天气情况，所以这句古老谚语是关于天气的迹象的。 2．第二段提到“But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance (提前). They use scientific instruments to study weather conditions around the world and make forecasts.”，说明如今气象学家能提前准确发送预报，他们用科学仪器研究世界各地的天气状况并做出预报，由此可知“meteorologists”是对天气状况进行科学研究的人。 3．第二段先说“Forecasting the weather has been practiced for thousands of years.”，然后举例“In the 5th century BC, the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors. They used signs in nature to forecast the weather.”说明古希腊人预测天气的方式，接着用“But today”转折，说明如今气象学家预测天气的方式，所以作者是通过介绍不同的天气预测方式来展开第二段内容的。 4．最后一段提到“Smell the flowers—their smells are stronger in wet air.”，意思是闻闻花香，它们在潮湿的空气中气味更浓，所以从最后一段我们能知道花的气味在潮湿的空气中更强。 话题2 安全与救护、自我保护 Passage 1 （25-26八年级下·湖北襄阳·期中）Accidents may happen in our daily life.

Hiking is a great way to relax, exercise and get close to nature. But without proper preparation, hiking may bring safety risks. Here are some useful tips for safe and pleasant hiking. First, check the weather forecast before going out. Avoid hiking on rainy, windy or stormy days. Bad weather will make roads slippery and increase the risk of falling. If the weather changes suddenly during hiking, find a safe place to rest in time. Second, wear proper clothes and shoes. Wear light and breathable clothes. Sports shoes with soft soles are the best choice to protect your feet. It is also necessary to wear a hat and sunglasses to avoid strong sunlight. Do not wear tight or new shoes, which may make you feel uncomfortable. Third, prepare necessary supplies. Take enough water and high-energy food such as nuts and bread. A first-aid bag with band-aids and common medicine is essential. You’d better take a mobile phone with full power for communication. Fourth, hike in groups and follow fixed routes. Never walk alone in wild mountains. Keep in touch with your partners all the time. Do not walk into unknown deep forests or cliffs. Obey the team leader’s instructions and do not run or jump casually. Hiking brings us joy and energy. As long as we pay attention to safety rules, we can enjoy the beauty of nature to the fullest. 1．What is the purpose of the passage?

Want to try using it yourself? Let’s do a cool project to make a solar tower! You can try this project at home. You need some tape, a pin, paper, three cans, and two big thick books. Now, we’re going to build the solar tower. First, make a pinwheel with a piece of square paper. In the second stage, cut off the tops and bottoms of the cans, pile up the cans and stick them with tape. Next, use a pin to connect the pinwheel with the tower. Finally, put the tower on top of the books, which are five centimeters apart. So there’s a gap at the bottom, allowing the air to enter the tower. Now, all we have to do is to set the whole thing near a window, where there’s direct sunlight. When the sun shines on the tower, it gets hot and warms the air in it. The warmer air moves upward through the tower and makes the pinwheel turn around as it passes by. Then cooler air comes in through the gap from the bottom of the tower, gets heated, and rises, so the cycle goes on. This is how it works. Isn’t it wonderful? So next time you feel the warm sun on your face, remember that it’s more than just a nice feeling. Sunlight is a powerful and useful source of energy. 1．What do you need to build the solar tower according to the passage? ① tape and cans   ② paper   ③ water   ④ a wheel   ⑤ scissors or knives   ⑥ two books A．①②⑤⑥ B．①③④⑤ C．②④⑤⑥ D．①②③⑤ 2．What is the pin used for in this solar tower project? A．To tape the three cans together. B．To make the pinwheel spin more quickly. C．To make some nice patterns for the pinwheel. D．To join the pinwheel and the tower together. 3．Why do we leave a gap between the two books? A．To stop the tower from falling off. B．To make the air get into the tower. C．To prevent the books from heating up. D．To allow the air to get out of the tower. 4．How does the air travel through the tower? (⊕ for warm air; ◎ for cold air.) A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇实验说明文，介绍“太阳能塔”小实验的材料、制作步骤与工作原理，揭示太阳光是一种强大而实用的能量来源。 【详解】1．根据第二段第二句“You need some tape, a pin, paper, three cans, and two big thick books.”可知，所需材料包括：胶带、大头针、纸、罐头、厚书；另外“cut off the tops and bottoms of the cans”暗示需要剪刀或刀来剪开罐头。因此①胶带和罐头、②纸、⑤剪刀或刀、⑥两本书正确；③水、④现成的轮子均未提及。 2．根据第二段第六句“use a pin to connect the pinwheel with the tower”可知，大头针用于把风车和塔身连接起来。 3．根据第二段倒数两句“put the tower on top of the books, which are five centimeters apart. So there’s a gap at the bottom, allowing the air to enter the tower.”可知，两本书间隔5厘米是为了让空气从底部进入塔内。注意D项是“让空气出去”，与原文enter相反。 4．根据第三段“The warmer air moves upward through the tower… Then cooler air comes in through the gap from the bottom.”可知，冷空气(◎)从底部进入塔内，被加热后上升变成暖空气(⊕)从塔顶部排出。即“底进顶出，向上流动”。 Passage 2 The earth is our home and we should protect it.

It is an app called FoodT. A group of scientists at the University of Exeter developed it. It helps people eat less junk food through a game. In the game, healthy food always appears in green circles and unhealthy food always comes in red circles. Some everyday objects, such as pencils and sweaters, appear randomly (随机地) in the green or red circles. When a user clicks (点击) on the healthy food or an object in the green circle, he can get a point. If he clicks on unhealthy food or any other object in red circles, he will lose a point. Does this simple game work well? The developers of the app did a study. They invited more than 1,200 volunteers to play the game once a day. After a month, the volunteers reported their changes. Most of them said they ate more healthy food. Some volunteers used to eat junk food two to four times a week. At the end of the study, they only ate once a week. And almost each volunteer lost some weight. Why does the app work so well? It’s because it uses brain training techniques (技术). The game trains users’ brains to reduce (减少) their cravings (渴望) for junk food . Through practice, users lose interest in junk food in their life. But they need to play it at certain times and not stop. The app is free and it only takes about four minutes every day, so people can do it not just at home but anywhere.

He saw that a camel was walking by, With rope around it. The mouse didn’t know why. So he took the rope, and feeling happy, He pulled the camel along, singing loudly! But soon they came to a river wide, And the mouse felt sick and strange inside. “Oh, please, Mr Camel, please help me, I don’t like water, as you can see!” So the camel told the mouse to jump Onto his back, and sit on his hump. But when they got to the other side, He said “Get off! That’s the end of your ride! And understand, you silly little thing, That in the desert the camel is king!” 1．Why did the mouse ask the camel for help when they reached the river? A．He was tired of pulling the camel. B．He was afraid of the water. C．He wanted to ride on the camel’s back. D．He wanted to be the king of the desert. 2．What does the underlined word “hump” most likely refer to? A．A part of the camel’s body. B．A type of long rope. C．A place in the desert. D．A sound the camel makes. 3．What is the rhyme scheme (押韵格式) according to the end of each line in the poem?

D．Words that show strong feelings in the poem. 4．Which of the following can you infer is RIGHT after reading the poem? A．Only big people are truly necessary. B．The mouse is cleverer than the camel. C．The camel is more useful than the mouse. D．Everyone has advantages and disadvantages. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一首叙事诗，主要讲述了一只老鼠和一只骆驼之间的故事。老鼠起初得意地拉着骆驼走，但在遇到河流时因害怕水而求助于骆驼。骆驼帮助老鼠过河后，告诫老鼠在沙漠中骆驼才是王者。故事通过两者的互动，揭示了不同生物在不同环境下的生存优势。 【详解】1．根据诗歌第九、十行“‘Oh, please, Mr Camel, please help me, I don’t like water, as you can see!’”可知，老鼠请求骆驼帮助是因为它不喜欢水，即害怕水。 2．根据诗歌倒数第五、六行“So the camel told the mouse to jump Onto his back, and sit on his hump.”可知，骆驼让老鼠跳到它的背上并坐在“hump”上。结合常识及上下文，骆驼背上的隆起部位是驼峰，属于身体的一部分。 3．根据题目对押韵格式的定义以及诗歌内容（如第一段中ground/around和by/why的尾音规律），押韵是指行末单词发音相同或相似。 4．通读全文，老鼠虽然小但在陆地上能拉动骆驼（前几段），骆驼虽然大但在水中能帮助老鼠（中间段落），最后骆驼说“That in the desert the camel is king!”表明在不同环境下各自有优势。这说明每个人（或动物）都有优缺点。 Passage 2 Red Star Over China, a must-read book for Chinese junior high school students, came from the American reporter Edgar Snow’s special experiences.

As teenagers, you may not have much money, but learning to use it wisely is helpful for your future. First, you should know where your money comes from. It may be pocket money from your parents, money by helping with housework, or prizes from school activities. Knowing the source helps you value it more. Second, make a simple plan. Write down what you spend money on every week, such as snacks, school things and online games. You will find out what is necessary and what is not. Cut down the unnecessary cost and save the rest. Saving is also important. You can put a part of your money in a savings box or a bank account. It can help you when you really need money for a book, a gift or something unexpected. Some students may follow others and buy things they don’t really need just to keep up with their friends. That is not smart. You should learn to make good choices by yourself. Learning to manage money not only helps you form good habits, but also makes you understand the importance of hard work. It will benefit you a lot as you grow up. 1．What is the first paragraph mainly about? A．How teenagers make money. B．Why money management matters. C．Where teenagers get money. D．When teenagers start saving money. 2．What does the writer advise us to do with pocket money? A．Spend it as quickly as possible. B．Save all of it in a bank at once. C．Buy whatever our friends have. D．Make a plan before spending. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The savings box. B．The bank account. C．Part of your money.

Write down what you spend money on every week...”可知，作者建议我们在花钱之前制定一个简单的计划，记录花费并区分必要与不必要的支出。 3．根据文章第四段中“You can put a part of your money in a savings box or a bank account. It can help you when you really need money...”可知，把一部分钱存起来，当你需要钱买书或礼物时，是这部分“存下来的钱”能帮到你，而不是存钱罐或银行账户本身。因此“It”指代的是前文提到的“a part of your money”。 4．根据文章第五段中“Some students may follow others... That is not smart. You should learn to make good choices by yourself.”可知，作者建议不要盲目跟风，要学会自己做出明智的选择。 Passage 2 1．What does Peter spend most of his money on? A．Food. B．Buses and taxis. C．Housing.

A survey shows 86% of people in China use mobile phones to pay. For students, they seldom touch (触碰) the paper money in their everyday life. They may only do it when they get lucky money during the Spring Festival. When they need to buy something, they usually don’t reach into their pockets for paper money. They use their digital (电子的) watches. So many children ask their parents, “Why not keep money in the mobile phone or the watch?” Hearing the question from their children, many parents start to worry. “Our children don’t know much about money. For them, money is just numbers. They have no idea where money comes from or how hard one makes money. This is bad for them.” one mother says. To solve the problem, parents start to provide chances for their children to use paper money. For example, they give paper money for their children to do some shopping. To solve the problem, these years, a few schools in some cities begin to give special math classes to teach students about money. During the class, teachers show all the paper money and coins (硬币) to students and teach them yuan, jiao and fen. What’s more, the teachers ask the students to do simple calculations (简单的计算): from jiao to yuan or from yuan to fen. Mr. Wang, a math teacher, says, “Most children know little about money, so we need to help them get to know it. It’s a hard job, but the classes will be helpful to them.” 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By showing a picture. B．By showing a fact. C．By asking a question. D．By giving an example. 2．What do the underlined word “ it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Saving money. B．Using the digital watches. C．Using mobile phones to pay. D．Touching the paper money. 3．Now, children usually pay for the things with ________. A．paper money B．coins C．digital watches D．lucky money 4．The last paragraph is mainly about ________. A．how schools help children learn about money B．what children should do in math classes C．how math teachers give interesting classes D．why children don’t often touch paper money now 5．Which best shows the structure (结构) of the text? A．①/②③④ B．①/②③/④ C．①②/③④ D．①②③/④ 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了随着移动支付的普及，现在的孩子很少接触纸币，对金钱缺乏概念，为此家长和学校分别采取了相应措施来帮助孩子认识和理解金钱。 【详解】1．根据文章第一段“With the development of mobile payment, more and more children are not using paper money now.” 陈述了移动支付发展导致儿童不使用纸币这一客观事实，以此引出全文话题。 2．根据第二段中“For students, they seldom touch the paper money in their everyday life. They may only do it when they get lucky money during the Spring Festival.”，可知“it”指代前文提到的动作“touch the paper money（触碰纸币）”，即学生们只有在春节收压岁钱时才会触碰纸币。 3．根据第二段中“When they need to buy something, they usually don’t reach into their pockets for paper money. They use their digital watches.”可知，现在孩子们买东西通常使用电子手表支付。 4．文章最后一段提到一些城市的学校开设特殊数学课，通过展示纸币、硬币、教换算等方式帮助学生认识金钱，因此核心内容是“学校如何帮助孩子了解金钱”。 5．第一段是总起段：背景引入（提出移动支付普及，孩子少用纸币）；第二段是分述段：现状描述（介绍学生日常付款方式）；第三段是分述段：说明家长的担忧与应对；第四段是分述段：介绍学校的应对措施。整体为“①/②③④”结构。 话题8 灾害防范、生存技能 Passage 1 Each year, thunderstorms (雷雨) produce millions of flashes of lightning.

It brings help and hope to those whose lives are changed by a storm, an earthquake, or other natural disasters (灾难). After long and careful training, the Chinese team went on its first international rescue tasks in 2003. That year, the team helped save lives after earthquakes in Algeria and Iran. It was the first time that the CISAR had worked outside China, and the team won high praise for their bravery (勇敢) and skill. Since then, the CISAR has completed lots of rescue tasks. They struggled in difficult conditions to rescue people in Indonesia, Haiti and Pakistan. Rescue workers are trained to find people, treat injuries, and hand out food, water, and other things. They have to be able to do difficult work when it is very dangerous. For example, there is usually no electricity or water after a disaster, and there may be illnesses and accidents. Rescue workers get to save lives, but they must also deal with death. That means they have to be strong in both body and mind. Rescue workers must have big hearts, too. It takes lots of love and courage to risk (冒险) their own lives to save someone else’s. The members of the CISAR are always ready to go wherever help is needed. The CISAR members leave their homes and families for a job that offers little pay and less sleep. We can’t imagine how much they have sacrificed (牺牲) selflessly.
