Kate told the idea to her best friend Mattie. Mattie also loved baking cupcakes. She 5 the plan. Within days, the two started “Cupcakes for a Treatment”.

When she hung up, I questioned her choice of topics, finding them 4 . With a kind smile, she explained, “I might be the only person she talked to today. So even the simplest conversations can make her feel 5 .” It wasn’t until nearly 30 years later that I realized the true 6 of my mother’s nightly calls. They helped the elderly in a way. The elderly often feel lonely. As people age, they may experience the 7 of friends and family members. This 8 a smaller social circle.

When I went to my beach house, Nicole helped 4 my mail and water my plants. And when she traveled as a flight attendant, I did the same for her. Wherever she went, she’d 5 to bring me wonderful gifts, but her smile has been the greatest of all. In 1997, I had a lovely child and it was Nicole who took care of me and him.

The shop owner, Mr. Li, is a 60-year-old 1 of this craft. He welcomed us warmly and showed us many 2 dough figurines of cartoon characters and traditional heroes like the Monkey King. At first, I thought it was easy to make one, but I was wrong. Mr. Li gave each of us a small piece of coloured dough and some 3 tools, like a small knife and a rolling pin (擀面杖). He taught us to make a little rabbit first. I tried to shape the dough into a rabbit’s body, but it was too soft and kept 4 flat. I felt a little 5 and wanted to give up. Mr. Li saw that and came to help me. He taught me to press the dough 6 and told me to be patient. “Dough figurine making is not about speed,” he said. “It’s about care and love.” I followed his words and tried again. This time, I moved my hands slowly and 7 every step carefully. After 20 minutes, my little rabbit was finally done. It was not as perfect as Mr. Li’s, but it was my first work. I felt so 8 of it. All of us made our own small dough figurines that day. We 9 our works with each other and took photos with Mr. Li. Before leaving, he told us that traditional crafts need young people to pass them on. This trip let me know that every traditional art is a treasure.

These are Foshan woodblock prints (木刻版画). Foshan is to the west of Guangzhou. These prints were first made in Foshan back in the Song Dynasty. At first, people carved (刻) pictures of gods into the front doors of their houses, and they had sculptures of lions on both sides of their gates. These were to help 2 their houses from evil spirits (邪灵). However, such carvings and sculptures were 3 , and not everyone had the money to buy them. So, Foshan woodblock prints began to become popular during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They became 4 after the 1930s, but you can still see them in many parts of China. With woodblock prints, a pattern is cut out on a flat piece of wood. Paint is then put on the 5 , and then the pattern is printed on a piece of paper. Foshan woodblock prints are usually of traditional gods, scenes from history or the Chinese opera, or wishes for 6 luck. Red and gold are often used in these prints.

It has a history of over 200 years. It is the soul of Chinese national culture. It came into being after 1790 when the four famous Anhui opera troupes (戏班) went to Beijing. Beijing Opera is 1 of historical stories, beautiful costumes (戏装) and wonderful performances (表演). Its music and singing came from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei. There are mainly 2 kinds of roles in Beijing Opera: Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou. The Sheng is a(n) 3 male actor and they are usually the key roles. The Dan is a female role. The Jing is a male role with a painted 4 and the Chou is a comedy actor. Beijing Opera presents plays and characters mainly by four artistic 5 . They are singing, speaking, acting and partial arts.

The sweet smell filled the room as she taught me to put pork meat in thin dough. Last summer in Guangzhou, I saw students making baozi stuffed with pork with their families. 1 , although separated by thousands of miles, both our cultures share a special connection through pork dishes. Pork plays an important role in daily life. British office workers buy hot pork pies during lunch, while Chinese neighbors 2 homemade char siu (叉烧) with each other as gifts. At school, English children enjoy sausage rolls, while Chinese students share baozi during breaks— 3 shapes, the same warmth. Street food shows the creativity of cooking pork. At London’s Borough Market, crispy pork pies with jelly fillings chuanr have been sold for 200 years. Meanwhile, Guangzhou night markets sizzle with chuanr (烤肉串), pork with cumin and chili. A man told me, “One stick costs 5 yuan, but the joy is 4 .” Pork plays a 5 role in celebrations in both cultures. Roasted pork is often the star of Sunday roasts and Christmas dinners in England. At a Spring Festival dinner in China, hongshaorou takes center stage as the layered meat shows life’s balance. People like pork also because of its 6 value. British teens eat grilled pork chop for protein, while Chinese parents make pork bone soup for children during exams, saying that it helps 7 attention. Our tastes may be a little different. British people use herbs (香草) like rosemary, but Chinese recipes often include soy sauce, ginger and star anise. Yet grandmothers in both countries agree: love is the best flavoring and happy 8 tell the story. From London to Guangzhou, pork 9 cultures through shared joy. Whether it’s through sausage rolls or baozi, pork symbolizes comfort, celebration and connection. So next time you enjoy pork, remember: somewhere, another family is 10 the same happiness, bite by bite. 1．A．Happily B．Interestingly C．Luckily D．Lovingly 2．A．cook B．buy C．sell D．exchange 3．A．similar B．unusual C．different D．common 4．A．priceless B．expensive C．popular D．special 5．A．practical B．central C．cheerful D．successful 6．A．culture B．science C．health D．education 7．A．give B．create C．win D．improve 8．A．stomachs B．hands C．heads D．eyes 9．A．changes B．bridges C．explains D．studies 10．A．facing B．expressing C．sharing D．offering 话题3 合作与交流 Passage 1 （25-26八下·广州市海珠区中山大学附属中学·阶段检测） I always thought communication was mostly about words. But a trip to Japan last summer totally changed my 1 . During my stay, I joined a cultural exchange programme. My host family was warm and welcoming, but my Japanese was very limited. When we first met, the grandmother, Yuki-san, came into the living room and gave me a slow, deep 2 . I wasn’t sure what to do, so I quickly bowed back. She smiled and nodded, and somehow, without a single word, I felt completely 3 . The next day, I visited a local market with my host sister, Hana. I pointed at a beautiful ceramic bowl and raised my eyebrows 4 , hoping she would understand I was asking about the price. She caught on immediately and held up five fingers. I grinned and nodded—we had 5 perfectly, without saying a word. However, not every moment was so smooth. At dinner one night, I leaned back in my chair and stretched my arms wide—a habit I had when I felt relaxed. Hana looked slightly 6 . Later, she explained that such gestures could seem rude at the dinner table in Japanese culture. I felt my face turn red with 7 . That experience made me realize something important. Body language is not 8 across cultures. A thumbs-up might mean “great” in one country but could cause 9 in another. Even a simple smile can carry very different meanings depending on the situation. By the end of my trip, I had learned to 10 the unspoken signals around me more carefully. Real communication, I discovered, is not just about the words you speak—it is also about what your body says without making a sound. 1．A．decision B．habit C．mind D．schedule 2．A．wave B．bow C．handshake D．nod 3．A．ignored B．nervous C．welcome D．confused 4．A．angrily B．repeatedly C．questioningly D．carelessly 5．A．argued B．communicated C．competed D．disagreed 6．A．uncomfortable B．excited C．amused D．relaxed 7．A．pride B．embarrassment C．relief D．confidence 8．A．universal B．necessary C．understandable D．popular 9．A．pleasure B．trouble C．interest D．silence 10．A．give up on B．pay attention to C．turn away from D．catch up with Passage 2 People usually communicate by speaking or writing. However, people in some jobs depend on gestures for 1 . Railway workers on the ground have to communicate with engineers on the trains. To do this, they use 2 . To tell the train to “go”, for example, a railway worker 3 the flag above his head and moves it up and down. Soldiers in war often cannot hear each other, so they use gestures to send 4 to each other. When a leader wants other soldiers to follow him, he 5 towards them, and then he uses his arm to point in the direction they should go. Soldiers from different countries use 6 gestures to communicate with each other when they do not speak the same language. Gestures are used in music as well. For example, when a classical concert takes place, musicians 7 the directions of the conductor（指挥）. The conductor will lead the musicians through his 8 . These gestures tell the musicians when to play, and when to stop. They also tell when the music should be loud or soft, and fast or slow. Of course, the musicians must understand the 9 of these gestures to play well together. Many other jobs use gestures, but you may not notice them. Next time you are out on the street, please 10 . You might be surprised by how many gestures you see in use. 1．A．communication B．speech C．talk D．language 2．A．flags B．fingers C．lanterns D．lamps 3．A．expresses B．picks C．crosses D．holds 4．A．matters B．news C．messages D．impressions 5．A．walks B．points C．flies D．runs 6．A．different B．beautiful C．similar D．difficult 7．A．adds B．follow C．create D．make 8．A．expressions B．head C．body language D．feat 9．A．appearances B．sounds C．words D．meanings 10．A．look around B．look up C．look down D．look over Passage 3 阅读短文，理解其大意，从 A，B，C，D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Our class began a science project to build a model of an eco-friendly city last week.

One afternoon, Ms Chen saw us 3 . “Teamwork is like a puzzle (拼图),”she said. “Every piece matters.” Her words made us stop fighting. We decided to put our 4 together: Tom designed solar panels (面板), Lily created parks from recycled bottles, and I built cardboard houses. After school, we worked together 5 , sharing glue, scissors, and even our snacks. The biggest 6 was to introduce our design to everyone. Tom was too shy to 7 . Lily and I practised with him every night, saying, “You’ve got this!” On that day, we stood side by side and smiled. When Ms Chen praised our “creative and eco-friendly design”, we felt 8 . “This is our success!” Tom shouted. Our project won first prize, but the real victory was what we learned.

Those dolphins needed help 3 . Without thinking too much, I jumped off my car and ran towards them. I first called the police, but they were too 4 to come at once. Knowing that it would take the police an hour to drive here, I turned to the 5 for help, hoping people nearby could see my post. Minutes later, three teenage boys of a nearby school were the first to arrive. However, none of us had the 6 to save beached dolphins. The only thing we could do is to 7 what was happening to the police. Soon, volunteers and fishermen came. Fishermen led all the volunteers to work. Some helped 8 adult dolphins by covering their body with wet towels. Others were pulling smaller dolphins to deeper waters. However, to everyone’s surprise, these baby dolphins didn’t leave by themselves after they got free. When the tide began to 9 , the baby dolphins swam nearer and made sounds to encourage each other.

According to a study in Nature Climate (气候) Change, the number of most polar bears will 1 rapidly by 2080. There are two reasons. One is that the sea ice is melting (融化). Polar bears catch seals (海豹) to eat on the ice. 2 ice, they have to stay on land. But there is not 3 food on land to feed so many bears. The animals could die from hunger. The other reason is that mother bears may not be fat enough to 4 milk to their babies, so some bears could stop having babies. Polar bears are 5 land animals that eat meat on the planet. They help control other kinds of animals. Losing them would break the balance (平衡) of their living place. The Arctic (北极) is the 6 to about 25,000 polar bears. Arctic sea ice usually melts in spring and summer, then grows in winter. But now, the 7 is taking longer to grow back. Scientists say the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planets. The study also shows 8 it is possible to slow Arctic melting. Greenhouse gases (温室气体) could lead to climate change. In order to avoid (避免) creating greenhouse gases, the world should try to stop burning coal and riding in cars. Saving the bears is 9 us.

If I break it, the kite will be free to fly even higher.” So he asked his father for a small 5 and cut the string. Without the string, the kite did go a little bit higher. However, it soon started to come down and 6 on a tall tree. The son was sad. He expected that the kite would fly higher after he cut the string, not fall down. He 7 his father for an explanation. “Well, the string wasn’t holding the kite down; it was actually helping it stay up when the wind was calm and guiding it in the 8 direction when the wind picked up,” the father 9 . “When we cut the string, the kite lost that support and fell down.

Karen always said that she didn’t like her house at all. For a family with three children, it was too 1 . One day, I asked why she didn’t look for a larger house.

Every day he said his work was boring. I asked him why he didn’t give up his 3 and start a business of taking photos. His reply was, “When I complete my course, I will start a business.” Harry worked for a company that allowed him to retire (退休) early, but he had to get less 4 after he retired. Now Harry became very weak and found it difficult to 5 his work. Because too much work was bad for him, I was worried about his 6 . “Why don’t you retire, Harry? Do something that you want to do,” I said. “If I were older, I would get my full pay. When the next summer comes, maybe I will,” Harry replied. There is an old saying that says, “If and When were planted, and Nothing grew.” A year later, Karen was still living in the house she 7 . Sam was still busy with his boring job and still hadn’t 8 his course. Harry was still working and his health was even worse.

He 1 , rain dropping from his cap, “I’m quite sure.” As we walked down a muddy valley, a waterfall blocked our way. We removed our shoes, 2 barefoot through icy water. “This is a real adventure!” I thought. After we made our way across, we looked at each other through the downpour (暴雨) and threw our heads back in laughter, almost forgetting we were 3 and cold. This positive attitude is typical of Nepalis. When things get 4 , they make the best of it and keep walking. Life here is often hard: freezing temperatures, poor soil and few usable roads.

A man told me, “One stick costs 5 yuan, but the joy is 4 .” Pork plays a 5 role in celebrations in both cultures. Roasted pork is often the star of Sunday roasts and Christmas dinners in England.

But a trip to Japan last summer totally changed my 1 . During my stay, I joined a cultural exchange programme. My host family was warm and welcoming, but my Japanese was very limited. When we first met, the grandmother, Yuki-san, came into the living room and gave me a slow, deep 2 . I wasn’t sure what to do, so I quickly bowed back. She smiled and nodded, and somehow, without a single word, I felt completely 3 . The next day, I visited a local market with my host sister, Hana. I pointed at a beautiful ceramic bowl and raised my eyebrows 4 , hoping she would understand I was asking about the price. She caught on immediately and held up five fingers. I grinned and nodded—we had 5 perfectly, without saying a word. However, not every moment was so smooth. At dinner one night, I leaned back in my chair and stretched my arms wide—a habit I had when I felt relaxed. Hana looked slightly 6 . Later, she explained that such gestures could seem rude at the dinner table in Japanese culture. I felt my face turn red with 7 . That experience made me realize something important. Body language is not 8 across cultures. A thumbs-up might mean “great” in one country but could cause 9 in another. Even a simple smile can carry very different meanings depending on the situation. By the end of my trip, I had learned to 10 the unspoken signals around me more carefully. Real communication, I discovered, is not just about the words you speak—it is also about what your body says without making a sound. 1．A．decision B．habit C．mind D．schedule 2．A．wave B．bow C．handshake D．nod 3．A．ignored B．nervous C．welcome D．confused 4．A．angrily B．repeatedly C．questioningly D．carelessly 5．A．argued B．communicated C．competed D．disagreed 6．A．uncomfortable B．excited C．amused D．relaxed 7．A．pride B．embarrassment C．relief D．confidence 8．A．universal B．necessary C．understandable D．popular 9．A．pleasure B．trouble C．interest D．silence 10．A．give up on B．pay attention to C．turn away from D．catch up with 【答案】 1．C 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．B 6．A 7．B 8．A 9．B 10．B 【导语】本文讲述作者在日本旅行期间，通过经历意识到肢体语言在不同文化中存在差异，强调了非语言交流的重要性。 【详解】 1．句意：但去年夏天的一次日本之旅完全改变了我的想法。 前文说作者原本认为交流只靠语言，日本之旅改变了他原本的想法，change one’s mind是固定搭配，意为“改变想法”，应填mind。decision“决定”、habit“习惯”、schedule“日程”不符合语境。 2．句意：祖母走进客厅，向我缓慢深深地鞠了一躬。 根据上下文，后文提到作者立刻鞠躬回礼“bowed back”，说明奶奶先向作者行了鞠躬礼，bow“鞠躬”符合日本见面礼仪和上下文逻辑。wave“挥手”、handshake“握手”、nod“点头”，均与后文动作不对应。 3．句意：不知何故，没有一个字，我感到完全被欢迎。 寄宿家庭很热情，奶奶微笑点头互动后，作者没说一句话就感受到了接纳，应填welcome“被欢迎的”符合正向语境。ignored“被忽视”、nervous“紧张”、confused“困惑的”均与积极语境矛盾。 4．句意：我指着一个漂亮的陶瓷碗，疑问地扬起眉毛。 作者指着碗想询问价格，因此抬眉毛是带着疑问的神态，questioningly“带有疑问地”，符合询问的语境。angrily“生气地”、repeatedly“重复地”、carelessly“粗心地”，均不符合询问价格的语境。 5．句意：我们完美地交流了，没说一个字。 文章核心讲“交流”，作者和“host sister”没说话就完成了互动，此处指两人完美完成了交流，应填communicated“交流”符合文意。argued“争论”、competed“竞争”、disagreed“不同意”均与和谐互动的语境不符。 6．句意：Hana看起来有点不舒服。 作者伸开手臂的动作在日本餐桌文化中是不礼貌的，因此Hana看到后会觉得有点不舒服，应填uncomfortable“不舒服的”。excited“兴奋的”、amused“被逗乐的”、relaxed“放松的”均与粗鲁行为导致的反应不符。 7．句意：我感到脸因尴尬而变红。 作者知道自己失礼后，因为尴尬脸红，应填embarrassment“尴尬”。pride“骄傲”、relief“解脱”、confidence“自信”，均与羞愧的情感色彩不符。 8．句意：肢体语言在不同文化中并非通用的。 后文提到不同文化中肢体语言含义不同，因此这里想表达“肢体语言不是跨文化通用的”，应填universal“通用的、普适的”。necessary“必要的”、understandable“可理解的”、popular“流行的”均无法体现文化差异。 9．句意：但在另一个国家可能引起麻烦。 同一个肢体语言在不同国家含义不同，不合适的表达会引发麻烦，cause trouble意为“造成麻烦”，应填trouble。pleasure“快乐”、interest“兴趣”、silence“沉默”，均为正面或中性，不符逻辑。 10．句意：在我的旅行结束时，我学会了更仔细地关注周围的无声信号。 经历过后作者学会了更仔细地留意身边无声的肢体信号，应填pay attention to“注意、留意”。give up on“放弃”、turn away from“避开”、catch up with“赶上”，均与学习沟通的目的相反。 Passage 2 People usually communicate by speaking or writing. However, people in some jobs depend on gestures for 1 . Railway workers on the ground have to communicate with engineers on the trains. To do this, they use 2 . To tell the train to “go”, for example, a railway worker 3 the flag above his head and moves it up and down. Soldiers in war often cannot hear each other, so they use gestures to send 4 to each other. When a leader wants other soldiers to follow him, he 5 towards them, and then he uses his arm to point in the direction they should go. Soldiers from different countries use 6 gestures to communicate with each other when they do not speak the same language. Gestures are used in music as well. For example, when a classical concert takes place, musicians 7 the directions of the conductor（指挥）. The conductor will lead the musicians through his 8 . These gestures tell the musicians when to play, and when to stop. They also tell when the music should be loud or soft, and fast or slow. Of course, the musicians must understand the 9 of these gestures to play well together. Many other jobs use gestures, but you may not notice them. Next time you are out on the street, please 10 . You might be surprised by how many gestures you see in use. 1．A．communication B．speech C．talk D．language 2．A．flags B．fingers C．lanterns D．lamps 3．A．expresses B．picks C．crosses D．holds 4．A．matters B．news C．messages D．impressions 5．A．walks B．points C．flies D．runs 6．A．different B．beautiful C．similar D．difficult 7．A．adds B．follow C．create D．make 8．A．expressions B．head C．body language D．feat 9．A．appearances B．sounds C．words D．meanings 10．A．look around B．look up C．look down D．look over 【答案】 1．A 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．B 6．C 7．B 8．C 9．D 10．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了生活中人们用肢体语言交流，并举例进行了说明。 【详解】 1．句意：然而，在某些工作中，人们依靠手势进行交流。 communication交流；speech演讲；talk谈话；language语言。根据“People usually communicate by speaking or writing.”可推断，此处表达用手势“交流”。故选A。 2．句意：为了做到这一点，他们使用旗子。 flags旗帜；fingers手指；lanterns灯笼；lamps台灯。根据“the flag above his head”可知，用旗帜交流，故选A。 3．句意：例如，为了让火车“开动”，一名铁路工人将旗帜举过头顶并上下移动。 expresses表达；picks挑选；crosses交叉；holds抓住。根据“… above his head and moves it up and down.”可推断，铁路工人应该是先“抓住”旗帜，才能上下移动。故选D。 4．句意：战争中的士兵常常听不见对方的声音，所以他们用手势互相传递信息。 matters问题、事情；news新闻；messages信息；impressions印象。根据“Soldiers in war often cannot hear each other”可推断，他们听不见说话，所以应该是用手势传递“信息”。故选C。 5．句意：当一个领导者想要其他士兵跟随他时，他会指向他们，然后用他的手臂指向他们应该去的方向。 walks走路；points指向；flies飞；runs跑步。根据“so they use gestures to send”及“towards them”可知，用手势交流，指向他们，告诉他们接下来怎么做，故选B。 6．句意：当不同国家的士兵说不同的语言时，他们会用相似的手势来交流。 different不同的；beautiful漂亮的；similar相似的；difficult困难的。根据“when they do not speak the same language”可知，不会说同一种语言，可以用相似的手势来交流，故选C。 7．句意：例如，当一场古典音乐会举行时，音乐家们会听从指挥的指示。 adds增加；follow听从、跟随；create创造；make制作。根据“musicians … the directions of the conductor”可知，音乐家们会听从指挥的指示，故选B。 8．句意：指挥将通过他的肢体语言引导音乐家。 expression表示、表情；head头；body language肢体语言；feat武艺。根据“musicians follow the directions of the conductor”和常识可知，音乐会指挥是通过“肢体语言”来给音乐家们指示的。故选C。 9．句意：当然，音乐家们必须理解这些手势的含义，才能很好地一起演奏。 appearances外貌；sounds声音；words话语；meanings含义、意思。根据“They also tell when the music should be loud or soft, and fast or slow.”可推断，音乐家需要知道指挥手势的“含义”。故选D。 10．句意：下次你走在街上时，请环顾四周。 look around浏览；look up查询；look down向下看；look over检查。根据“Many other jobs use gestures, but you may not notice them”可知，以前没有注意到，下次可以多环顾四周看一看，故选A。 Passage 3 阅读短文，理解其大意，从 A，B，C，D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Our class began a science project to build a model of an eco-friendly city last week.

One afternoon, Ms Chen saw us 3 . “Teamwork is like a puzzle (拼图),”she said. “Every piece matters.” Her words made us stop fighting. We decided to put our 4 together: Tom designed solar panels (面板), Lily created parks from recycled bottles, and I built cardboard houses. After school, we worked together 5 , sharing glue, scissors, and even our snacks. The biggest 6 was to introduce our design to everyone. Tom was too shy to 7 . Lily and I practised with him every night, saying, “You’ve got this!” On that day, we stood side by side and smiled. When Ms Chen praised our “creative and eco-friendly design”, we felt 8 . “This is our success!” Tom shouted. Our project won first prize, but the real victory was what we learned.

However, to everyone’s surprise, these baby dolphins didn’t leave by themselves after they got free. When the tide began to 9 , the baby dolphins swam nearer and made sounds to encourage each other.

According to a study in Nature Climate (气候) Change, the number of most polar bears will 1 rapidly by 2080. There are two reasons. One is that the sea ice is melting (融化). Polar bears catch seals (海豹) to eat on the ice. 2 ice, they have to stay on land. But there is not 3 food on land to feed so many bears. The animals could die from hunger. The other reason is that mother bears may not be fat enough to 4 milk to their babies, so some bears could stop having babies. Polar bears are 5 land animals that eat meat on the planet. They help control other kinds of animals. Losing them would break the balance (平衡) of their living place. The Arctic (北极) is the 6 to about 25,000 polar bears. Arctic sea ice usually melts in spring and summer, then grows in winter. But now, the 7 is taking longer to grow back. Scientists say the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planets.
