All living things on the Earth depend on each other and form a friendly system. For example, bees pollinate (传粉) flowers, and plants provide food and oxygen for animals and humans. This balance keeps our planet healthy and lively. However, human activities have caused serious environmental problems. As a result, natural disasters happen more often and many wild animals are in danger. Some rare species may even disappear forever if we do nothing to protect them. To solve these problems, many countries take action. People build nature reserves to protect endangered animals. They also call on the public to live a low-carbon life and make good use of energy. Protecting nature is protecting ourselves. Everyone should take part in it. 1．What do we get from nature? 2．Why do natural disasters happen more often? 3．What do people build to protect endangered animals? 4．What will you do to live a green life? (Write 30 words or more.) 【答案】1．We get everything we need from nature. 2．Because human activities have caused serious environmental problems. 3．People build nature reserves. 4．I will go to school by bike or on foot instead of taking a car. I will save water and electricity, sort rubbish properly, and persuade people around me to join me in protecting the environment. 【导语】本文主要阐述人与自然的依存关系，以及呼吁保护自然的重要性。 1．根据原文第一段“We get everything we need from it.”可知，我们从自然中获得生存所需的一切。 2．根据原文第二段“However, human activities have caused serious environmental problems. As a result, natural disasters happen more often...”可知，人类活动造成的严重环境问题是自然灾害频发的原因。 3．根据原文第三段“People build nature reserves to protect endangered animals.”可知，人们通过建立自然保护区来保护濒危动物。 4．开放性试题，答案不唯一，合理即可。参考答案为I will go to school by bike or on foot instead of taking a car. I will save water and electricity, sort rubbish properly, and persuade people around me to join me in protecting the environment. To most Chinese people, Mount Tai is a symbol of China’s long history and unyielding (不屈服的) spirit. Standing in Shandong Province, it has been a sacred site for thousands of years, drawing emperors, poets, and travelers to its steep slopes (陡坡). From its top, you can watch the sunrise paint the sky in gold. Climbing to the top is no easy task: visitors must conquer (征服) stone steps, winding paths, and changeable weather to reach the famous Jade Emperor Peak. Mount Tai is known as the “Eastern Great Mountain”. It has held deep meaning for Chinese people for centuries. In the past, the emperors came to Mount Tai to hold grand ceremonies, praying for peace and their people. Even today, it remains a place to connect with history, admire nature, and test one’s own strength. Every day, thousands of climbers set off in the evening. They pass through over 6,000 stone steps to the top. Also, ancient temples, stone tablets, and tall pines (松树) are seen along the way. When the first sunlight breaks over the skyline, lighting up the sea of clouds below, all tiredness disappears. For millions of people, reaching the top of Mount Tai is not just a climb—it is a journey to feel the spirit of China, and to reach new heights in life. 根据短文内容，完成以下任务。 1．What is Mount Tai for most Chinese people? 2．How is the task of climbing to the top of Mount Tai? 3．Why did the emperors come to Mount Tai in the past? 4．What do climbers pass through to the top? 5．What do you think “reach new heights in life” means in the last paragraph? 【答案】1．It is a symbol of China’s long history and unyielding spirit. 2．It is not an easy task./It is very difficult. 3．They came to hold grand ceremonies and pray for peace and for their people. 4．Over 6,000 stone steps. 5．It means to overcome difficulties, achieve personal goals, and grow stronger in spirit, just like climbing to the top of Mount Tai.

With a history of thousands of years—dating back to the Neolithic Age, these vivid and colorful sculptures are not only works of art but also an important symbol of Shaanxi’s rich culture, deeply loved by people both at home and abroad. In the early days, local people used clay to make simple daily tools and objects for worship. As pottery-making skills continued to develop, the art of clay figurine-making slowly took shape. It finally reached its golden age during the Ming and Qing dynasties, becoming popular among common people and widely used in festivals, weddings and other important events to bring joy and good wishes. Their production process is complex and needs great patience. First, artisans choose high-quality local clay. Next, they knead, pound and filter it to take out impurities (杂质). Then, they shape the clay into lively forms like tigers and historical characters by hand or simple tools. After that, the shaped clay goes through natural drying and high-temperature firing. Finally, the most important step—painting—is carried out, with bold, bright colors to create strong visual contrast. These clay figurines carry deep cultural meanings. For example, tiger-shaped figurines are believed to drive off evil spirits and bring good luck to families. To protect this valuable traditional art, the local government has set up training centres to teach young people the making skills, while some young artisans are trying new things through mixing traditional styles with modern designs to attract more young people. 1．Where are Fengxiang clay figurines from? 2．When did Fengxiang clay figurines enter their golden age? 3．How many steps are required to make Fengxiang clay figurines? 4．How does the local government protect Fengxiang clay figurines? 5．What can you do to keep traditional arts like Fengxiang clay figurines alive? 【答案】1．Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province. 2．During the Ming and Qing dynasties. 3．5 steps. 4．By setting up training centres. 5．We can make them in art classes at school.（答案不唯一） 【导语】本文介绍了陕西凤翔泥塑的起源、发展历程、制作工艺、文化意义以及当地政府和年轻艺人为传承这一传统艺术所采取的措施。 1．第一段提到“Fengxiang clay figurines are a well-known form of traditional Chinese folk art from Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province.”，说明凤翔泥塑来自陕西省凤翔县。 2．第二段提到“It finally reached its golden age during the Ming and Qing dynasties”，说明凤翔泥塑在明清时期达到鼎盛。 3．第三段描述了制作流程：选土→揉捏敲打过滤→塑形→自然干燥和高温烧制→上色，共五个步骤。 4．第四段提到“the local government has set up training centres to teach young people the making skills”，说明当地政府通过设立培训中心来保护凤翔泥塑。 5．本题为主观开放题，答案不唯一。结合文中传承方式，提出个人能够为传承传统艺术所做的努力即可。 Do you do the same thing every Saturday? Do your homework, play some games, watch TV? It sounds nice, but it can get boring, right? You can try something different. More and more teenagers are choosing to do volunteer work in their free time. Volunteering means offering to do something without expecting any payment. There are lots of ways you can volunteer, including raising money for charity (慈善机构); helping in a park; or even carrying someone’s shopping home. Volunteering not only helps others, it also has advantages for your own well-being. Volunteering can lower stress and make you feel better about your life. It also teaches you some important skills, such as teamwork, communication, problem solving and task planning. You will need these skills in your workplace when you grow up. Many teenagers offer to teach and say that they have found the job they wanted to do all their lives. Volunteering has other advantages too, such as improving self-confidence and making friends. So, what could you do? There are many ways to volunteer. Think about what you like as well as what you would like to try. If you love sports, you can help coach younger players. If you want to protect the environment, then join a litter-picking group. Many teenagers happily spend many hours helping at an animal shelter near their home. Eve, aged seventeen, helped out at a food bank near her home. She said giving food to people who were less lucky made her feel happy and proud. Don’t forget that you already have lots of knowledge (知识), skills and energy that could be really useful to the team you volunteer with.

At about 5 a.m., the old man is in uniform and ready to start his day’s work protecting and recording migratory birds (候鸟). Located on the northern side of the Nanling Mountains, Lanshan is an important passageway for migratory birds.

I only want to record their lives.” Tang says. When Tang joined the Hunan Bird Protection Organization (组织) in 2013, he knew he faced a hard task. A number of migratory birds were lost each year because people killed them for trade. Many villagers didn’t think bird hunting was illegal (违法的), and some made a living from it. At that time, during the day, Tang handed out brochures (手册) to villagers in Lanshan to raise public attention of bird protection, while at night, he went deep into the forests to stop illegal hunting. In 2020, people in Yongzhou set up a new program to stop killing the birds.

Then it was the time to give prizes to those children who had got ten yellow tickets. The room was quiet. Nobody had enough tickets. When hope was dead, Tom stood up with nine yellow tickets, nine red ones and ten blue ones. Then, children suddenly realized that they were cheated by Tom.

We get everything we need from it. All living things on the Earth depend on each other and form a friendly system. For example, bees pollinate (传粉) flowers, and plants provide food and oxygen for animals and humans. This balance keeps our planet healthy and lively. However, human activities have caused serious environmental problems. As a result, natural disasters happen more often and many wild animals are in danger. Some rare species may even disappear forever if we do nothing to protect them. To solve these problems, many countries take action. People build nature reserves to protect endangered animals. They also call on the public to live a low-carbon life and make good use of energy. Protecting nature is protecting ourselves. Everyone should take part in it. 1．What do we get from nature? 2．Why do natural disasters happen more often? 3．What do people build to protect endangered animals? 4．What will you do to live a green life?

Standing in Shandong Province, it has been a sacred site for thousands of years, drawing emperors, poets, and travelers to its steep slopes (陡坡). From its top, you can watch the sunrise paint the sky in gold. Climbing to the top is no easy task: visitors must conquer (征服) stone steps, winding paths, and changeable weather to reach the famous Jade Emperor Peak. Mount Tai is known as the “Eastern Great Mountain”. It has held deep meaning for Chinese people for centuries. In the past, the emperors came to Mount Tai to hold grand ceremonies, praying for peace and their people. Even today, it remains a place to connect with history, admire nature, and test one’s own strength. Every day, thousands of climbers set off in the evening. They pass through over 6,000 stone steps to the top. Also, ancient temples, stone tablets, and tall pines (松树) are seen along the way. When the first sunlight breaks over the skyline, lighting up the sea of clouds below, all tiredness disappears. For millions of people, reaching the top of Mount Tai is not just a climb—it is a journey to feel the spirit of China, and to reach new heights in life. 根据短文内容，完成以下任务。 1．What is Mount Tai for most Chinese people? 2．How is the task of climbing to the top of Mount Tai? 3．Why did the emperors come to Mount Tai in the past? 4．What do climbers pass through to the top? 5．What do you think “reach new heights in life” means in the last paragraph? 前3题每题答案不超过10个词，第4题答案词数不限 Chaka Salt Lake (茶卡盐湖) lies in Qinghai Province, China.

With a history of thousands of years—dating back to the Neolithic Age, these vivid and colorful sculptures are not only works of art but also an important symbol of Shaanxi’s rich culture, deeply loved by people both at home and abroad. In the early days, local people used clay to make simple daily tools and objects for worship. As pottery-making skills continued to develop, the art of clay figurine-making slowly took shape. It finally reached its golden age during the Ming and Qing dynasties, becoming popular among common people and widely used in festivals, weddings and other important events to bring joy and good wishes. Their production process is complex and needs great patience. First, artisans choose high-quality local clay. Next, they knead, pound and filter it to take out impurities (杂质). Then, they shape the clay into lively forms like tigers and historical characters by hand or simple tools. After that, the shaped clay goes through natural drying and high-temperature firing. Finally, the most important step—painting—is carried out, with bold, bright colors to create strong visual contrast. These clay figurines carry deep cultural meanings. For example, tiger-shaped figurines are believed to drive off evil spirits and bring good luck to families. To protect this valuable traditional art, the local government has set up training centres to teach young people the making skills, while some young artisans are trying new things through mixing traditional styles with modern designs to attract more young people. 1．Where are Fengxiang clay figurines from? 2．When did Fengxiang clay figurines enter their golden age? 3．How many steps are required to make Fengxiang clay figurines? 4．How does the local government protect Fengxiang clay figurines? 5．What can you do to keep traditional arts like Fengxiang clay figurines alive? Do you do the same thing every Saturday? Do your homework, play some games, watch TV? It sounds nice, but it can get boring, right? You can try something different. More and more teenagers are choosing to do volunteer work in their free time. Volunteering means offering to do something without expecting any payment. There are lots of ways you can volunteer, including raising money for charity (慈善机构); helping in a park; or even carrying someone’s shopping home. Volunteering not only helps others, it also has advantages for your own well-being. Volunteering can lower stress and make you feel better about your life. It also teaches you some important skills, such as teamwork, communication, problem solving and task planning. You will need these skills in your workplace when you grow up. Many teenagers offer to teach and say that they have found the job they wanted to do all their lives. Volunteering has other advantages too, such as improving self-confidence and making friends. So, what could you do? There are many ways to volunteer. Think about what you like as well as what you would like to try. If you love sports, you can help coach younger players. If you want to protect the environment, then join a litter-picking group. Many teenagers happily spend many hours helping at an animal shelter near their home. Eve, aged seventeen, helped out at a food bank near her home. She said giving food to people who were less lucky made her feel happy and proud. Don’t forget that you already have lots of knowledge (知识), skills and energy that could be really useful to the team you volunteer with. Organizations (组织) report that teenagers bring new ideas and help them do things that would be impossible without young volunteers. You can get a lot out of volunteering, and you have a lot to give, too.

At about 5 a.m., the old man is in uniform and ready to start his day’s work protecting and recording migratory birds (候鸟). Located on the northern side of the Nanling Mountains, Lanshan is an important passageway for migratory birds. From September to December every year, more than 240 kinds of migratory birds fly from Siberia to Australia via (经由) Hunan. In the past 11years, Tang has recorded more than 120 kinds of such birds with his camera. “The flight calls of the migratory birds at night attract me so much that I cannot sleep. I only want to record their lives.” Tang says. When Tang joined the Hunan Bird Protection Organization (组织) in 2013, he knew he faced a hard task.

At that time, during the day, Tang handed out brochures (手册) to villagers in Lanshan to raise public attention of bird protection, while at night, he went deep into the forests to stop illegal hunting. In 2020, people in Yongzhou set up a new program to stop killing the birds. So far, 43 migratory bird protection stations have been built across Hunan, covering almost all key points on the passageway. 1．What time does Tang begin his day’s work every day? 2．How many kinds of migratory birds has Tang recorded? 3．Why did we lose many migratory birds each year in the past? 4．Have migratory bird protection stations been built across Hunan yet? 5．What do you think of Tang Shengli? 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（每题答案不超过10个单词） In this school, the teacher had set a rule to encourage children to recite the Bible: if he could recite two verses, the teacher would give him one blue ticket; ten blue tickets were equal to one red ticket; ten red tickets could be exchanged for a yellow ticket; if anyone could get ten yellow tickets, the teacher would give him or her a new Bible. Getting the thick book was the greatest honor for children. So they were busy reciting every day. To Tom, it’s impossible, so he thought of a simple way. He exchanged his small things in other children’s hands. In this way, he got many tickets. At the beginning of the class, the 35-year-old teacher made a daily speech. Tom was playing with the boys around him. He pulled a boy’s hair and pinched another, but when they turned around, he just read the book carefully, but the children began to talk noisily. Some children even began to fight. Suddenly, the room turned silent because some visitors came into the room. Three adults and one young girl entered. To Tom’s surprise, the little girl was just the “angel”. Tom thought of his meeting with the girl and the adventure in her garden. Among the visitors, the old man was somebody. Then it was the time to give prizes to those children who had got ten yellow tickets. The room was quiet. Nobody had enough tickets. When hope was dead, Tom stood up with nine yellow tickets, nine red ones and ten blue ones. Then, children suddenly realized that they were cheated by Tom. The teacher didn’t believe Tom could get so many tickets, but the number of tickets was exact.

Zhou Qi is a 17-year-old student from Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Last September (2023) he broke the Guinness (吉尼斯) World Record for the most single skips (跳绳) in one minute, with a result of 374. The record had stood unbroken for ten years. Daisuke Mimura from Japan held it with 348 skips in 2013. Interestingly, Zhou’s new record is not even his personal best. “My best performance was 396 times in one minute. That was done in the 2nd Primary and Secondary School Students’ rope skipping Championship in 2020. My coach said I had already broken the world record. It was at that time that I made up my mind to apply for the Guinness World Record,” Zhou said. However, the road to success was far from smooth. For years, Zhou practised with a special steel rope designed for competition. It’s light and strong. But because of the rope he used, his first Guinness application was considered invalid (无效). After online communication with the records management team, Zhou quickly changed to a common rope recognized (认证) by the Guinness World Records. He soon got used to it. Whatever kind of rope Zhou used, his strict training kept him in good sporting condition. Zhou has been in the school rope skipping team for seven years. He has jumped rope for about four hours each day. He would also run around the playground to improve his physical strength. Now a high school student, Zhou said he’ll put his studies first.
