It can bring people together and express emotions that words sometimes can’t. Different people have different preferences when it comes to music. Some like pop music because it’s catchy and easy to sing along with. Others prefer classical music for its elegance and depth. In a school, students from different backgrounds share their love for music. Tom, who is from a family of musicians, has been learning to play the piano since he was five. He thinks classical music is like a beautiful story that unfolds with every note. Lily, on the other hand, loves pop music. She often listens to it when she’s doing her homework because it makes her feel energetic. Music also plays a role in cultural communication. For example, folk music can tell the stories of a particular culture. When students from different countries exchange music, they are also sharing their cultures. At a school music festival, students from various countries perform their traditional music. This not only shows their unique cultures but also helps students understand and respect each other better. However, there are some challenges in the world of music. Some people think that modern music lacks the depth of traditional music. Others worry that with the development of digital music, the value of real musical instruments and live performances is being lost. But despite these challenges, music continues to be a powerful form of expression and connection. 1．Why do some people like pop music? 2．How long has Tom been learning to play the piano? 3．What does Lily like to do while listening to pop music? 4．How does folk music contribute to cultural communication? 5．What do some people think is wrong with modern music? 6．What are some people worried about regarding digital music? Passage 2 Topic: What are the best internet radio stations for Chinese pop music (C-Pop)? Rhys 27 July Answers (6) If you do not read Chinese characters, your best choice is M Radio. All track and artist names are available in either English or pinyin. That way when you hear something you like, you’ll know what it is. The M Radio website has artist news, reviews and music videos, but no ads. Except for songs in putonghua, a small number of the songs are in Cantonese. If it’s good and on the C-Pop charts (排行榜), they’ll play it. Also, I recently stumbled on (偶然遇见) P820. The music is a little out-dated (过时的), but there are no ads. Another Chinese station I listen to is FYM987. This one has some ads and talk shows; however, the music is pretty much what’s the latest in the C-Pop industry. You can download its app on your phone. Like Comment Amy 30 July 1．What is the topic of the post? 2．How many replies does Rhys receive? 3．How many radio stations does Amy recommend? 4．If you cannot read Chinese characters, which station(s) can you choose? 5．If you don’t like ads on the radio, which station(s) will you choose? 6．If you want to listen to the latest songs on the radio, which station(s) will you choose? Passage 3 【难点突破】 Ed Sheeran is a world-famous English singer-songwriter. He was born on February 17, 1991, in Halifax, West Yorkshire. Growing up, music was always a big part of his life. His grandparents were classical musicians, and they inspired him to learn the guitar at a young age. Ed started writing songs when he was just eleven years old. He would perform at local pubs and clubs in his hometown. His unique style, which combines pop, folk, and hip-hop elements, quickly caught people’s attention. In 2011, he released his debut album *+* (Plus). The album was a huge success, with songs like “The A Team” and “Lego House” becoming very popular. These songs not only showed his amazing song-writing skills but also his ability to tell stories through music. One of the things that makes Ed Sheeran so special is his live performances. He can play the guitar, loop pedals, and sing at the same time, creating a full-sound experience all by himself. His concerts are always energetic and engaging, and he has a great connection with his fans. He often interacts with them during the show, making each concert a unique event. Ed has also collaborated with many other famous musicians. He worked with Taylor Swift on the song “Everything Has Changed”, and with Beyoncé on “Perfect Duet”. These collaborations have not only expanded his fan base but also allowed him to explore different musical styles. In addition to his musical achievements, Ed is known for his kind-hearted nature. He has done a lot of charity work. For example, he has raised money for various causes, including children’s hospitals and disaster relief efforts. 1．When was Ed Sheeran born? 2．Who inspired Ed Sheeran to learn the guitar? 3．What was his debut album and when was it released? 4．What makes Ed Sheeran’s live performances special? 5．Name two musicians he collaborated with. 6．What kind of charity work has Ed Sheeran done? 话题2 语言与文化 Passage 1 Can you speak more than one language? Being able to communicate with people in another language is a great way to make friends and feel more confident. Language is the way we communicate with each other. It includes speaking, writing and using hand and face movements, known as sign language. Unlike countries, languages have no borders (边界) and can connect people around the world. Speaking another language helps you talk to people you may not understand, and makes you feel more connected to them. A girl from Hungary, Havana, who is aged 12, says speaking Hungarian as well as English means she can talk to her friends from England. This makes her feel closer to her British friends because they’re able to share their interests. Learning another language can also help you gain confidence—for example, by being able to chat to local people when you travel. Studies show that being able to speak two languages also exercises the brain and makes you better at concentrating on more than one thing at a time. Alex Rawlings is a language teacher and writer who speaks more than 15 languages. He finds it’s easier to learn words that he can see or hear, rather than from a list. “For example, the words of a song are more memorable because they rhyme (押韵) and are sung,” he says. It’s also important to understand why you learn a language. Rawlings suggests writing down reasons why you want to learn the language and keep reminding your-self of them. “I’ve met lots of friends through my languages,” says Rawlings. “The more you learn, the easier it gets.” 1．According to the writer, is it a great way to make friends by communicating with them in their language? 2．What is the difference between countries and languages? 3．What makes Havana feel closer to her friends from England? 4．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? 5．Who is Alex Rawlings? 6．Do you agree with the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? Why or why not? Passage 2 Emma always dreamed of learning a new language. When she was 15, she decided to learn Spanish because she loved how it sounded and wanted to travel to Spain someday. However, her journey wasn’t easy. At first, Emma struggled with pronunciation and grammar. She found it difficult to roll her “r’s” and remember verb conjugations. Her first Spanish class made her feel frustrated, and she even considered giving up. But her teacher encouraged her to keep practicing, reminding her that mistakes are part of learning. To improve, Emma started watching Spanish movies with subtitles and listening to Spanish songs. She also practiced speaking with her classmates and later joined an online language exchange program to talk with native speakers. Slowly but surely, she gained confidence. Two years later, Emma had the chance to visit Spain with her family. She was nervous about using her Spanish in real-life situations, but to her surprise, she managed to order food, ask for directions, and even have simple conversations with locals. This experience made her realize the value of persistence and practice. Today, Emma is studying to become a language teacher, hoping to inspire others on their language-learning journeys. 1．Did Emma face any challenges in the beginning? 2．Why did Emma choose to learn Spanish? 3．How did Emma practice Spanish outside of her classes? 4．What event gave Emma a chance to test her Spanish skills? 5．What is Emma’s goal for the future? 6．What do you think of Emma, and why?

I asked her to find out the answer herself. Lily interviewed Wang Yongheng, a farmer in his 50s. He explained that they patrol (巡逻) the river to prevent people from drowning (溺水). Years ago, his five-year-old son lost his swimming ring in a pool and went underwater. Wang didn’t hear him cry for help. Luckily, a girl saw the danger and jumped into the water to save him. Others quickly joined, and his son was pulled out in less than two minutes. “Without those kind people, I might have lost my son,” Wang said. To pass on the kindness, Wang volunteered to join the river patrol team in 2012. The team is always ready to help. Over the past ten years, they have saved hundreds of lives. “Every life means a lot to a family. By saving a life, we save a family,” Wang said. 1．Who did Lily interview along the river? 2．Why does Wang Yongheng’s team patrol the river? 3．How old was Wang’s son when the accident happened? 4．What did the girl do after she found Wang’s son in danger? 5．How long has Wang Yongheng been in the river patrol team? 6．What does Wang mean by saying “By saving a life, we save a family”? Passage 2 Taking part in charity (慈善) is not just for adults. Kids can do it too! Melvin, 14, an American student, has done charity work for eight years. He has also encouraged his classmates to join him. Melvin studies at a middle school in Philadelphia. Recently, he collected $1,500 by himself and $487 from his classmates to donate to Cooper University Hospital. Melvin was born nine weeks premature (早产的) in Cooper University Hospital, weighing 2.4 kg. His father told him how Cooper saved his life, so he feels thankful to the hospital. Melvin’s classmates joined him once they found out about his kind action. Their teacher, Michael also held a class meeting with them about helping others. Michael said that it was not really about the money but about the fact they were doing something good “It feels great to help someone that I know,” said one of Melvin’s classmates Melvin’s neighbours also helped out. Since Melvin was 8, he and his parents have given money to Cooper University Hospital every year. This year, Stahl, the head of the hospital, went to Melvin’s school to accept the money. The money goes to a part of the hospital that helps about 500 young patients every year. “When they leave, we call them graduates,” Stahl said. “We are pleased when our graduates and their families do well, like Melvin and his family.” 1．How old was Melvin when he started to do charity work? 2．How much money did Melvin and his classmates collect  altogether  recently? 3．What caused Melvin to raise money for Cooper University Hospital? 4．What does the underlined word “them” in the passage refer to? 5．How many young patients get help every year? 6．What can we learn from the passage?

Early one morning, Zengzi’s wife left for the market. Her little son wanted to go with her. But he was too young and the market was too far. Then she cheated (欺骗) her son and said, “I will soon be back. You stay at home and wait for me. If you do as I say, I will kill a pig and make a nice dish for you.” The child went back to the house happily. When Zengzi’s wife got back from the market, she showed no sign of killing a pig. So Zengzi himself prepared to do that, but his wife rushed to stop him and said, “Don’t do that. I just cheated the child.” “Honesty is the most important thing,” Zengzi said. “Children are like blank (空白的) pieces of paper. They understand nothing but they can learn from their parents’ actions. Because you have cheated your son, he won’t trust you anymore. In the future he will cheat others. ” Hearing her husband’s words, Zengzi’s wife regretted cheating the child. So she wanted to keep her word. She joined Zengzi in killing the pig, and cooked nice dishes for the child. While eating, the boy was happy and thankful to his parents. One evening, when the child went to bed, he suddenly got up and ran outside. Zengzi asked him where he was going. The boy replied, “I promised I was going to return a toy to a friend today. But I forgot, so I am going to return it now.” The couple exchanged satisfied smiles, and waited until the boy came back. 1．Whose teacher was Confucius from the passage? 2．How did Zengzi’s wife let her son stay at home? 3．What did Zengzi think of honesty? 4．Why did Zengzi’s wife kill the pig and cook dishes? 5．Why did Zengzi’s son run outside one evening? 6．What is your opinion about honesty? Passage 2 What Makes a Great Friend? What are the most important things you look for in a friend? Some teenagers are here to share their opinions. For me, decisiveness is a big deal. I once had a very indecisive friend. He left all the decisions to me, from selecting restaurants to choosing his electives (选修科目). I got so fed up with this that I decided I would only make friends with decisive people. —Daniel Cheng, 15 In my opinion, humor is a must-have quality in a friend. Having a friend with a good sense of humor is like having a personal stand-up comedian (脱口秀演员) on call 24/7. I have a friend who always comes up with creative jokes. With him around, even the saddest days feel better. —Howie Lin, 15 The most important thing I look for in a friend is _________. I think this matters because sharing interests or hobbies can help build deeper connections. We can then create a lot of fun memories together. —Jasmine Cao, 13 A genuine (真诚的) friend is important because he or she will be honest with you. If you do something wrong, true friends will point that out right away and believe that you can do better. Fake ones will only talk about it behind your back. When you get hurt, genuine friends will care for you and comfort you from the bottom of their hearts. They will always be there to protect you. Fake friends may ask if you’re fine, but they don’t really care and will just walk away. —Claire Tan, 11 1．Does Daniel think decisiveness is an important quality in a friend? 2．How does Daniel feel about making decisions for his friend all the time? 3．What is having a friend with a good sense of humor like? 4．Complete Jasmine Cao’s first statement.

In his final years, someone asked him about his teacher from whom he had learned all his wisdom, so the saint told him three stories: One day, I visited a village. It was late and no one was outside. At last, I saw a man who was trying to make a hole in a wall. I asked him if I could find a place to stay. He replied that I could stay with him if I didn’t mind staying with a thief. I stayed with him for a month. Every night, he would go out to “work”. Many times, he would come back with nothing. However, he never lost hope and said, “Tomorrow I will try again.” In the past years, there were many moments when I became so hopeless that I just wanted to give up what I was doing. And then suddenly, I would think of the words of the thief. There was another day when I was walking along the bank of a river. I saw a dog who was very thirsty and wanted to drink water from the river. However, he was afraid of his own image (镜像/倒影) in the water. He looked into the river, barked and then ran away. He did this several times. Finally, he succeeded in taking a drink from the river despite his fears. I met a little boy the other day in a small town. He was carrying a lighted (点燃的) candle with him. I asked him, “Did you light the candle by yourself?” He said yes. I asked him again, “Then can you tell me where the light came from?” The boy laughed. He blew out the candle and asked me, “You see, I just put out the candle. Could you tell me where the light has gone?” I couldn’t answer and he told me, “It has returned to where it came from.” Since then, I have dropped all my conceit (自大). I have had no teachers, but it doesn’t mean that I have nowhere to learn the wisdom of life. 1．How long did the saint stay with the first man he met? 2．What was the “work” of the first man? 3．Why couldn’t the dog drink the water from the river at first? 4．Where did the light go according to the boy? 5．The saint couldn’t answer the boy’s question, could he? 6．What does this article teach us? 话题5 濒危动物 Passage 1 The Nile crocodile (鳄) lives in and near African rivers.

She is a young environmentalist who has inspired many people in her community to protect the environment. Her story began two years ago when she noticed that many of her classmates threw away single-use plastic bottles after lunch every day. She felt sad seeing so much waste. After doing some research, she learned that plastic pollution is a serious problem that harms wildlife and takes hundreds of years to break down. Xinyi decided to take action. She first talked to her teacher about starting a recycling program at school. With the teacher’s support, she placed three large recycling bins in the cafeteria—one for plastic bottles, one for paper, and one for food waste. She also made posters to teach her schoolmates how to sort their waste correctly. The program was a success. Within the first month, the school recycled over 500 plastic bottles and 20 kilograms of paper. Encouraged by this result, Xinyi went a step further. She organized a “Zero-Waste Week” and encouraged students to bring reusable water bottles and lunchboxes. She also invited a local environmental expert to give a talk about protecting the Earth. Her efforts didn’t stop at school. Xinyi started a community group called “Green Future” with 15 volunteers. They meet every Saturday morning to clean up a nearby park and plant trees. They also visit local markets to give out reusable cloth bags and explain why plastic bags are harmful. “Every small action counts,” Xinyi often says. “You don’t have to be an adult to make a difference. If everyone does a little, together we can change a lot.” Now, Xinyi hopes to study environmental science in the future and continue her mission to protect the planet. 1．How old was Wang Xinyi when she started her environmental work? . 2．What made Wang Xinyi want to take action to protect the environment? . 3．Wang Xinyi started the recycling program all by herself, didn’t she? . 4．What activities does the community group “Green Future” do every Saturday morning? . 5．List two things Wang Xinyi did to encourage students to reduce waste at school. . 6．What does Wang Xinyi’s story tell us? (Write one sentence to complete the passage.) . Passage 2 【难点突破】 Trees are one of the oldest “citizens” of our Earth. They keep our air clean, reduce noise pollution, improve water quality and provide food and building materials. Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to warn animals not to go near. Most young trees have large, deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy. When trees are 4 years old, they begin to grow very rapidly and become strong enough to face challenges later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit. It is not until the tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. Not only does the adult tree give us shade, oxygen and natural beauty, but it is also a great place for a tree house or a place for us to nap, read a book, listen to music or sip tea. If the adult tree receives proper care, it will continue to live healthily for many years. Gradually, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. When a tree becomes hollow or part of it becomes dead, it provides a home to small animals and is a source of food for many other animals. In many ways, the life of a tree is similar to our own life experience. When looking at the life of a tree, we learn that each period of life brings its own form of joy and challenge. Enjoy every minute of the life of the trees and take care of the trees. 1．Are trees one of the oldest “citizens” of our Earth? 2．How do young trees protect themselves? 3．Do all young trees have large, deep green leaves? 4．When do trees grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit? 5．What can a tree be used as when it becomes hollow? 6．What does the writer suggest we do with the trees? Passage 3 【难点突破】 Turning rubbish into new earth My father is a quiet man. He has his thoughts, but he usually keeps them to himself. There is one thing that really gets him excited. Just say the word “rubbish” to him. Or I should say, he loves solving the rubbish problem very much! “We have become a ‘throw-away’ society,” he says. “We buy and buy, and then we throw it away. We can’t keep doing this. Rubbish is everybody’s problem.” My father doesn’t just talk about it though. When he sees a problem, he tries to find a solution. Last year, my father decided to do something about all the wasted food we were throwing away. One family makes nearly 500 pounds of food waste each year. We throw away the potato skins and the apple cores (核) when we finish with them. Imagine how they collect in the large area! However, there is something that we can do to reuse rubbish. For example, if we carefully deal with food waste, it can be changed from rubbish to a rich, dark earth known as compost (肥料).

It can bring people together and express emotions that words sometimes can’t. Different people have different preferences when it comes to music. Some like pop music because it’s catchy and easy to sing along with. Others prefer classical music for its elegance and depth. In a school, students from different backgrounds share their love for music. Tom, who is from a family of musicians, has been learning to play the piano since he was five. He thinks classical music is like a beautiful story that unfolds with every note. Lily, on the other hand, loves pop music. She often listens to it when she’s doing her homework because it makes her feel energetic. Music also plays a role in cultural communication. For example, folk music can tell the stories of a particular culture. When students from different countries exchange music, they are also sharing their cultures. At a school music festival, students from various countries perform their traditional music. This not only shows their unique cultures but also helps students understand and respect each other better. However, there are some challenges in the world of music. Some people think that modern music lacks the depth of traditional music.

Rhys 27 July Answers (6) If you do not read Chinese characters, your best choice is M Radio. All track and artist names are available in either English or pinyin. That way when you hear something you like, you’ll know what it is. The M Radio website has artist news, reviews and music videos, but no ads. Except for songs in putonghua, a small number of the songs are in Cantonese. If it’s good and on the C-Pop charts (排行榜), they’ll play it. Also, I recently stumbled on (偶然遇见) P820. The music is a little out-dated (过时的), but there are no ads. Another Chinese station I listen to is FYM987. This one has some ads and talk shows; however, the music is pretty much what’s the latest in the C-Pop industry. You can download its app on your phone.

Being able to communicate with people in another language is a great way to make friends and feel more confident. Language is the way we communicate with each other. It includes speaking, writing and using hand and face movements, known as sign language. Unlike countries, languages have no borders (边界) and can connect people around the world. Speaking another language helps you talk to people you may not understand, and makes you feel more connected to them. A girl from Hungary, Havana, who is aged 12, says speaking Hungarian as well as English means she can talk to her friends from England. This makes her feel closer to her British friends because they’re able to share their interests. Learning another language can also help you gain confidence—for example, by being able to chat to local people when you travel. Studies show that being able to speak two languages also exercises the brain and makes you better at concentrating on more than one thing at a time. Alex Rawlings is a language teacher and writer who speaks more than 15 languages. He finds it’s easier to learn words that he can see or hear, rather than from a list. “For example, the words of a song are more memorable because they rhyme (押韵) and are sung,” he says. It’s also important to understand why you learn a language. Rawlings suggests writing down reasons why you want to learn the language and keep reminding your-self of them. “I’ve met lots of friends through my languages,” says Rawlings. “The more you learn, the easier it gets.” 1．According to the writer, is it a great way to make friends by communicating with them in their language? 2．What is the difference between countries and languages? 3．What makes Havana feel closer to her friends from England? 4．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? 5．Who is Alex Rawlings? 6．Do you agree with the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? Why or why not? 【答案】1．Yes, it is. 2．Unlike countries, languages have no borders and can connect people around the world. 3．Speaking both Hungarian and English allows her to communicate with her English friends and share their interests. 4．The benefits/ Good points of speaking another language. 5．Alex Rawlings/ He is a language teacher and writer (who speaks more than 15 languages). 6．Yes. Because if we understand why we learn a language, we can have the power/ motivation to try our best to learn it. 【导语】本文主要探讨了学习多种语言的好处。文章指出，掌握另一种语言不仅能帮助我们结交朋友、增强自信，还能拉近人与人之间的距离、锻炼大脑并提升专注力。同时，通过语言教师Alex Rawlings的例子，介绍了高效学习语言的方法（如通过歌曲记单词、明确学习动机等），强调了语言学习带来的积极影响。 1．第一段“Being able to communicate with people in another language is a great way to make friends and feel more confident.”说明作者认为用另一种语言与人交流是结交朋友的好方法。 2．第二段“Unlike countries, languages have no borders and can connect people around the world.”说明国家有边界，而语言没有边界，可以连接世界各地的人们。 3．第三段“speaking Hungarian as well as English means she can talk to her friends from England. This makes her feel closer to her British friends because they’re able to share their interests.”说明能同时说匈牙利语和英语使她能够与英国朋友交流并分享彼此的爱好，让她感觉更亲近。 4．第三段主要讲述了说另一种语言的好处：结交朋友、增进亲密感、获得自信、锻炼大脑、提高专注力。 5．第四段“Alex Rawlings is a language teacher and writer who speaks more than 15 languages.”说明Alex Rawlings是一位会说超过15种语言的语言教师兼作家。 6．最后一段划线句意为“理解你为什么要学习一门语言也同样重要。”这是一道开放性题目，合理表达个人观点并说明理由。 Passage 2 Emma always dreamed of learning a new language.

Early one morning, Zengzi’s wife left for the market. Her little son wanted to go with her. But he was too young and the market was too far. Then she cheated (欺骗) her son and said, “I will soon be back. You stay at home and wait for me. If you do as I say, I will kill a pig and make a nice dish for you.” The child went back to the house happily. When Zengzi’s wife got back from the market, she showed no sign of killing a pig. So Zengzi himself prepared to do that, but his wife rushed to stop him and said, “Don’t do that. I just cheated the child.” “Honesty is the most important thing,” Zengzi said. “Children are like blank (空白的) pieces of paper. They understand nothing but they can learn from their parents’ actions. Because you have cheated your son, he won’t trust you anymore. In the future he will cheat others. ” Hearing her husband’s words, Zengzi’s wife regretted cheating the child. So she wanted to keep her word. She joined Zengzi in killing the pig, and cooked nice dishes for the child. While eating, the boy was happy and thankful to his parents. One evening, when the child went to bed, he suddenly got up and ran outside. Zengzi asked him where he was going. The boy replied, “I promised I was going to return a toy to a friend today.

What are the most important things you look for in a friend? Some teenagers are here to share their opinions. For me, decisiveness is a big deal. I once had a very indecisive friend. He left all the decisions to me, from selecting restaurants to choosing his electives (选修科目). I got so fed up with this that I decided I would only make friends with decisive people. —Daniel Cheng, 15 In my opinion, humor is a must-have quality in a friend. Having a friend with a good sense of humor is like having a personal stand-up comedian (脱口秀演员) on call 24/7. I have a friend who always comes up with creative jokes. With him around, even the saddest days feel better. —Howie Lin, 15 The most important thing I look for in a friend is _________. I think this matters because sharing interests or hobbies can help build deeper connections. We can then create a lot of fun memories together. —Jasmine Cao, 13 A genuine (真诚的) friend is important because he or she will be honest with you. If you do something wrong, true friends will point that out right away and believe that you can do better. Fake ones will only talk about it behind your back. When you get hurt, genuine friends will care for you and comfort you from the bottom of their hearts. They will always be there to protect you.

In his final years, someone asked him about his teacher from whom he had learned all his wisdom, so the saint told him three stories: One day, I visited a village. It was late and no one was outside. At last, I saw a man who was trying to make a hole in a wall. I asked him if I could find a place to stay. He replied that I could stay with him if I didn’t mind staying with a thief. I stayed with him for a month. Every night, he would go out to “work”. Many times, he would come back with nothing. However, he never lost hope and said, “Tomorrow I will try again.” In the past years, there were many moments when I became so hopeless that I just wanted to give up what I was doing. And then suddenly, I would think of the words of the thief. There was another day when I was walking along the bank of a river. I saw a dog who was very thirsty and wanted to drink water from the river. However, he was afraid of his own image (镜像/倒影) in the water. He looked into the river, barked and then ran away. He did this several times. Finally, he succeeded in taking a drink from the river despite his fears. I met a little boy the other day in a small town. He was carrying a lighted (点燃的) candle with him. I asked him, “Did you light the candle by yourself?” He said yes. I asked him again, “Then can you tell me where the light came from?” The boy laughed. He blew out the candle and asked me, “You see, I just put out the candle. Could you tell me where the light has gone?” I couldn’t answer and he told me, “It has returned to where it came from.” Since then, I have dropped all my conceit (自大). I have had no teachers, but it doesn’t mean that I have nowhere to learn the wisdom of life. 1．How long did the saint stay with the first man he met? 2．What was the “work” of the first man? 3．Why couldn’t the dog drink the water from the river at first? 4．Where did the light go according to the boy? 5．The saint couldn’t answer the boy’s question, could he? 6．What does this article teach us? 【答案】1．For a month. 2．He was a thief./His work was stealing things. 3．Because he was afraid of his own image in the water. 4．It has returned to where it came from. 5．No, he couldn’t. 6．We can learn the wisdom of life from different people and things around us.(答案不唯一，合理即可) 【导语】本文讲述了一位圣人通过三个小故事，讲述他从不同人身上学到的人生智慧，告诉我们生活中处处都有值得学习的智慧。 1．根据文章第二段中“I stayed with him for a month.”可以直接找到答案，圣人与他遇到的第一个人待了一个月。故填“For a month.”。 2．根据文章第二段中“He replied that I could stay with him if I didn't mind staying with a thief.”，并且后文描述“Every night, he would go out to ‘work’”，可以推断他的“工作”是偷窃。故填“He was a thief./His work was stealing things.”。 3．根据文章第三段中“However, he was afraid of his own image (镜像/倒影) in the water..” 可知，狗一开始不敢喝水，是因为害怕自己在水中的倒影。故填“Because he was afraid of his own image in the water.”。 4．根据文章第四段中“I couldn’t answer and he told me, ‘It has returned to where it came from.’” 可以直接得出答案。故填“It has returned to where it came from.”。 5．这是反意疑问句。根据原文第四段中“I could’t answer”可知，圣人无法回答男孩的问题。反意疑问句的回答要根据事实，因此答案是否定的。故填“No, he couldn’t.”。 6．全文通过三个故事，最后以圣人的总结“I have had no teachers, but it doesn’t mean that I have nowhere to learn the wisdom of life.” 点明主旨，生活中处处都有值得学习的智慧，我们要善于从身边的人和事中学习。故填“We can learn the wisdom of life from different people and things around us.”。 (答案不唯一，合理即可) 话题5 濒危动物 Passage 1 The Nile crocodile (鳄) lives in and near African rivers.

She is a young environmentalist who has inspired many people in her community to protect the environment. Her story began two years ago when she noticed that many of her classmates threw away single-use plastic bottles after lunch every day. She felt sad seeing so much waste. After doing some research, she learned that plastic pollution is a serious problem that harms wildlife and takes hundreds of years to break down. Xinyi decided to take action. She first talked to her teacher about starting a recycling program at school. With the teacher’s support, she placed three large recycling bins in the cafeteria—one for plastic bottles, one for paper, and one for food waste. She also made posters to teach her schoolmates how to sort their waste correctly. The program was a success. Within the first month, the school recycled over 500 plastic bottles and 20 kilograms of paper. Encouraged by this result, Xinyi went a step further. She organized a “Zero-Waste Week” and encouraged students to bring reusable water bottles and lunchboxes. She also invited a local environmental expert to give a talk about protecting the Earth. Her efforts didn’t stop at school. Xinyi started a community group called “Green Future” with 15 volunteers. They meet every Saturday morning to clean up a nearby park and plant trees. They also visit local markets to give out reusable cloth bags and explain why plastic bags are harmful. “Every small action counts,” Xinyi often says. “You don’t have to be an adult to make a difference. If everyone does a little, together we can change a lot.” Now, Xinyi hopes to study environmental science in the future and continue her mission to protect the planet. 1．How old was Wang Xinyi when she started her environmental work? . 2．What made Wang Xinyi want to take action to protect the environment? . 3．Wang Xinyi started the recycling program all by herself, didn’t she? . 4．What activities does the community group “Green Future” do every Saturday morning? . 5．List two things Wang Xinyi did to encourage students to reduce waste at school. . 6．What does Wang Xinyi’s story tell us?

They keep our air clean, reduce noise pollution, improve water quality and provide food and building materials. Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to warn animals not to go near. Most young trees have large, deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy. When trees are 4 years old, they begin to grow very rapidly and become strong enough to face challenges later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit. It is not until the tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. Not only does the adult tree give us shade, oxygen and natural beauty, but it is also a great place for a tree house or a place for us to nap, read a book, listen to music or sip tea. If the adult tree receives proper care, it will continue to live healthily for many years. Gradually, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. When a tree becomes hollow or part of it becomes dead, it provides a home to small animals and is a source of food for many other animals. In many ways, the life of a tree is similar to our own life experience. When looking at the life of a tree, we learn that each period of life brings its own form of joy and challenge. Enjoy every minute of the life of the trees and take care of the trees. 1．Are trees one of the oldest “citizens” of our Earth? 2．How do young trees protect themselves? 3．Do all young trees have large, deep green leaves? 4．When do trees grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit? 5．What can a tree be used as when it becomes hollow? 6．What does the writer suggest we do with the trees? 【答案】1．Yes, they are. 2．They grow thorns. 3．No, they don’t. 4．At the age of 15. 5．It can be used as a home to small animals and a source of food for many other animals. 6．We should enjoy every minute of the life of the trees and take care of them. 【导语】本文主要介绍了树木作为地球“老公民”的重要作用及其生长周期中的不同阶段。通过将树木的生命历程与人类生活经验进行类比，表达了作者对大自然的敬畏，并呼吁人们关爱树木。 1．第一段首句直接指出：“Trees are one of the oldest ‘citizens’ of our Earth.”，这明确肯定了树木是地球上最古老的“公民”之一。故作肯定回答。 2．第一段中提到幼树如何保护自己：“For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to warn animals not to go near.”，文中通过举例说明许多树木是通过长刺来警告动物不要靠近，从而达到保护自己的目的。 3．第一段描述幼树的特征时提到：“Most young trees have large, deep green leaves…”，句中的核心限定词为“Most（大多数）”，这意味着并非“所有（all）”幼树都具备这一特征。故作否定回答。 4．第二段明确指出了这一变化发生的时间点：“At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit.”，文中通过具体年龄数字交代了树木进入生长缓慢期并开始开花结果的阶段。 5．第三段描述了树木衰老后的作用：“When a tree becomes hollow…it provides a home to small animals and is a source of food for many other animals.”，这直接说明当树木变空心时，可以作为小动物的家园和食物来源。 6．文章最后一句提出了作者的建议：“Enjoy every minute of the life of the trees and take care of the trees.”，这直接表达了作者希望人们能够享受树木生命的每一分钟并悉心照料它们。 Passage 3 【难点突破】 Turning rubbish into new earth My father is a quiet man. He has his thoughts, but he usually keeps them to himself. There is one thing that really gets him excited. Just say the word “rubbish” to him. Or I should say, he loves solving the rubbish problem very much! “We have become a ‘throw-away’ society,” he says. “We buy and buy, and then we throw it away. We can’t keep doing this. Rubbish is everybody’s problem.” My father doesn’t just talk about it though. When he sees a problem, he tries to find a solution. Last year, my father decided to do something about all the wasted food we were throwing away. One family makes nearly 500 pounds of food waste each year. We throw away the potato skins and the apple cores (核) when we finish with them. Imagine how they collect in the large area! However, there is something that we can do to reuse rubbish. For example, if we carefully deal with food waste, it can be changed from rubbish to a rich, dark earth known as compost (肥料). This compost can be added to vegetable gardens to make the plants grow very well. “I bought a compost bin today.” Dad said at dinner one night, “From now on, instead of throwing away all our food waste, we will put it in the compost bin. Mother Nature will slowly turn it from rubbish into earth.” It took a while to get used to it, but soon, we were taking our food waste to the compost bin. In three months, we found it rich in compost material! 1．Does the writer’s father talk a lot? 2．What does the writer’s father really enjoy? 3．The writer’s father takes action to solve problems, doesn’t he? 4．How much food waste does one family make every year? 5．How will the plants grow if the compost can be added to vegetable gardens? 6．In your daily life, what can your family do to reduce food waste? 【答案】1．No, he doesn’t. 2．He really enjoys solving the rubbish problem. 3．Yes, he does. 4．Nearly 500 pounds of food waste. 5．The plants will grow very well. 6．We can finish all the food on our plates and not buy more food than we need.
