Cities are full of tall buildings, factories, and cars. They are very useful places for people to live. However, for animals, living in a city can be very difficult. This is why some animals have changed to survive city life.
The peppered moth (花斑蛾), for example, changes its colour to survive in the city. The quality of the air in the city is not very good. This makes the surface of trees darker. The peppered moth changes to a darker colour to match the trees. In this way, it can hide from other animals.
The great tit (山雀) changes its voice to survive in the city. It sings to find a mate. But in the city, it is too noisy for other birds to hear it singing. So the great tit changes its song to a higher pitch (音调).
In the forest, the crow drops seeds and nuts from high above to break them on the ground. Then it can get the food inside. However, the city crow has a better idea. It drops the seeds on the street and waits for cars to break them. Then it quickly flies down and picks up its meal.
1.The peppered moth changes colour to match the ________.
A.trees B.cars C.people D.air
2.How does the city crow break seeds?

Nature is amazing! Take a close look at the world of insects (昆虫), and you’ll discover many unbelievable things. Consider butterflies, for example. They have beautiful wings and magical flying skills. On summer days, you always see them flying in gardens and wild fields.
But do you know how butterflies become the flying insects? It is one of the wonders of nature. In the beginning, the mother lays (产卵)a small and colourful egg on a leaf or stem of a plant. It is hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It becomes a walking insect. This insect is called a caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life begins. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see. But it is still not a butterfly.
Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. This is known as the pupa (蛹) stage. After some time, the chrysalis cover (茧衣) breaks and a wet butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the beautiful butterfly spreads (张开) its wings and flies away. After a few weeks, this butterfly lays its eggs, and the cycle (循环) begins all over again.
This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look around the natural world, and you will learn many amazing things.

1.根据第一段第2-3句“Take a close look at the world of insects... Consider butterflies, for example.”可知蝴蝶属于昆虫,A项“They are a kind of insect.”与原文表述一致;根据第一段第4句“They have beautiful wings”可知,它们有美丽的翅膀,B项“They have beautiful wings”与原文表述一致;第一段中并未提及蝴蝶的嗅觉能力,C项符合要求。
2.第二段“It becomes a walking insect. This insect is called a caterpillar.”,结合蝴蝶生长规律,卵孵化后形成的爬行昆虫为毛虫。
3.根据文章第二、三段描述的发育过程:首先“The mother lays... egg”,对应③产卵;然后“It becomes a walking insect”,对应②变成行走的昆虫/毛虫;接着“This is known as the pupa stage”,对应①变成蛹;最后“spreads its wings and flies away”,对应④张开翅膀飞走。正确顺序为③→②→①→④。
4.文章主要介绍了蝴蝶从卵、幼虫、蛹到成虫的四个生命阶段的蜕变过程,体现了自然界的奇迹。“One Insect, Four Lives”形象地概括了这一完整的生命周期。
Family rules help children to learn what is or isn’t OK in the family. Following them can also help children learn to follow rules in other places. So it’s not good for you to make rules too late.
As parents, when you make family rules, talk about them with your children. They will be happy.
Good family rules are easy for children to understand. For example, if you want your children to go to bed early, the rule like “Go to bed before nine o’clock.” will be good but “________” won’t be good. And good family rules tell children what to do instead of what not to do. For example, “Keep your room tidy!” is good. “Don’t put your things everywhere!” isn’t good.
People forget things easily, so it’s good to write down the rules and put them somewhere everyone can see.
There are times when family rules need to change. For example, when your children get older, you can make rules about helping with housework. It’s also good to let your children make changes to the rules with you.

3.第三段举例说明好的家庭规则要明确具体,如“Go to bed before nine o’clock.”是好的,而“It’s important to go to bed early!”不够具体,孩子不容易理解,因此不符合好规则的要求。
4.第①段总述家规的重要性;第②-⑤段分别从“和孩子讨论、规则要清晰具体、写下来公示、根据情况调整”四个方面讲如何制定家规;整体结构是“总—分”:①为总起,②③④⑤为并列分述。对应选项 C。
5.全文围绕父母如何为孩子制定合理的家庭规则展开,包括规则要具体、要和孩子讨论、要写下来、要适时调整等,因此最贴切的标题是“如何为孩子制定家庭规则”。
Family rules help children learn what is and isn’t OK in the family. Following them can help children learn to follow rules in other places, so it’s not good to make rules too late. Good family rules are easy for children to understand.
One day, on the way home from school, my mom told me she was going to make some new rules for me, for my brothers and sisters. Before this, we knew she wanted us to be good, but we really didn’t have any rules. Well, Mom took care of that. On Sunday she started giving us some rules. Clean your rooms every other day. Be ready for dinner at 7:00 p.m. That means sitting at the table, with clean hands. If mom is having a meeting in the house, be very quiet. That means turning down the music and the TV. Be ready for bed at 9:30 p.m. and get up at 7:30 a.m. to get ready for school. Take out the rubbish (垃圾) on Monday morning before school. Clean the bathroom on Friday.
Following these rules isn’t too hard, and sometimes it’s even fun. Other times, it can be tough. For example, if your room is really dirty and you can’t finish cleaning it on that day, you have to finish it on the next day, along with something else you have to do. That isn’t easy.
Mom made these rules because she loves us a lot. She wants us to learn how to be on time, be clean and tidy and be polite. Every day, we try to follow her rules. These rules help make our family warm and happy. I feel lucky to grow up in such a family.

3.根据划线词所在句后的解释“For example... That isn’t easy.”可知,有时候遵守规则是艰难的。因此tough意为“艰难的”,与Difficult同义。
4.根据文章最后一段“These rules help make our family warm and happy. I feel lucky to grow up in such a family.”可知,作者认为家规帮助家庭变得温暖快乐,对此感到幸运,说明作者认为家规是有益的。

Junk food, such as fish and chips, hamburgers, and colas, has much fat, sugar and calories (卡路里,热量), but has little nutrition (营养). Such foods are often convenient (方便的) and taste great. When teenagers come home from school, the first thing is to unwind by sitting in front of the TV and having a big bag of chips, a can of cola or other soft drinks with much sugar.
According to a study, eating too much junk food may cause health problems easily later. So stop eating junk food. The study also finds that teenagers today are more likely to eat junk food than adults. Lots of parents are busy with work and have no time to cook, so teenagers know fast food at a young age. It can be difficult for them to know the importance of eating food for nutrition. Also, ordering junk food online is very convenient, so it is easy for teenagers to live a not-so-healthy life. Once teenagers get the delicious taste of junk food, they will keep having it more often than home-made dishes.

“But not all of them, Mum,” Jim smiles and says. “Only the small cakes go to bed. Their parents must be still awake because they are adults. They can stay up late, right? So can I eat one of the ‘parent’ cakes?”

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了肯尼亚内罗毕的中学生Danny在周日不同时间点的活动安排,包括去图书馆、参加艺术俱乐部、回家帮妈妈做晚饭以及睡前读书等。
1.第一段第一句明确指出“Danny is a middle school student from Nairobi, Kenya.”,因此他来自肯尼亚。
2.表格中的第二项活动的描述中提到“Danny is at the Art Club ... and he is learning to draw”,由此可直接找到本题答案。
3.表格中的第三项活动明确说明“Because he wants to help his mum with dinner”, help with dinner即make dinner。

Knowing what the weather will be like for the next days is important. But how can we know it? We can listen to the weather report on TV. But what if we are not at home? Then we need to use other ways to know it. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the next day or two is called weather forecasting (天气预报). Here are some ways for you to tell the coming weather.
As we all know, Chinese people started to study weather and made weather forecasting long ago. If you see rings around the sun, it can be rainy tomorrow. Some birds fly high if the fine weather is coming, but they fly quite low if the rain is on the way. If you see a rainbow (彩虹) during rainy weather, this is to say that the weather is becoming fine. These rainbows come in the evening. And if there is a rainbow in the morning, we will have the rainy weather. If you can see lots of stars at night, then we will have fine weather. When the sunset (日落) is red in colour, a fine day is coming.
When you find the differences around you, you may also find other ways to forecast the weather.

Cities are full of tall buildings, factories, and cars. They are very useful places for people to live. However, for animals, living in a city can be very difficult. This is why some animals have changed to survive city life.
The peppered moth (花斑蛾), for example, changes its colour to survive in the city. The quality of the air in the city is not very good. This makes the surface of trees darker. The peppered moth changes to a darker colour to match the trees. In this way, it can hide from other animals.
The great tit (山雀) changes its voice to survive in the city. It sings to find a mate. But in the city, it is too noisy for other birds to hear it singing. So the great tit changes its song to a higher pitch (音调).
In the forest, the crow drops seeds and nuts from high above to break them on the ground. Then it can get the food inside. However, the city crow has a better idea. It drops the seeds on the street and waits for cars to break them. Then it quickly flies down and picks up its meal.

Nature is amazing! Take a close look at the world of insects (昆虫), and you’ll discover many unbelievable things. Consider butterflies, for example. They have beautiful wings and magical flying skills. On summer days, you always see them flying in gardens and wild fields.
But do you know how butterflies become the flying insects? It is one of the wonders of nature. In the beginning, the mother lays (产卵)a small and colourful egg on a leaf or stem of a plant. It is hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It becomes a walking insect. This insect is called a caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life begins. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see. But it is still not a butterfly.
Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. This is known as the pupa (蛹) stage. After some time, the chrysalis cover (茧衣) breaks and a wet butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the beautiful butterfly spreads (张开) its wings and flies away. After a few weeks, this butterfly lays its eggs, and the cycle (循环) begins all over again.
This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look around the natural world, and you will learn many amazing things.

Family rules help children to learn what is or isn’t OK in the family. Following them can also help children learn to follow rules in other places. So it’s not good for you to make rules too late.

People forget things easily, so it’s good to write down the rules and put them somewhere everyone can see.
There are times when family rules need to change. For example, when your children get older, you can make rules about helping with housework. It’s also good to let your children make changes to the rules with you.

One day, on the way home from school, my mom told me she was going to make some new rules for me, for my brothers and sisters. Before this, we knew she wanted us to be good, but we really didn’t have any rules. Well, Mom took care of that. On Sunday she started giving us some rules. Clean your rooms every other day. Be ready for dinner at 7:00 p.m. That means sitting at the table, with clean hands. If mom is having a meeting in the house, be very quiet. That means turning down the music and the TV. Be ready for bed at 9:30 p.m. and get up at 7:30 a.m. to get ready for school. Take out the rubbish (垃圾) on Monday morning before school. Clean the bathroom on Friday.
Following these rules isn’t too hard, and sometimes it’s even fun. Other times, it can be tough. For example, if your room is really dirty and you can’t finish cleaning it on that day, you have to finish it on the next day, along with something else you have to do. That isn’t easy.

Junk food, such as fish and chips, hamburgers, and colas, has much fat, sugar and calories (卡路里,热量), but has little nutrition (营养). Such foods are often convenient (方便的) and taste great. When teenagers come home from school, the first thing is to unwind by sitting in front of the TV and having a big bag of chips, a can of cola or other soft drinks with much sugar.
According to a study, eating too much junk food may cause health problems easily later. So stop eating junk food. The study also finds that teenagers today are more likely to eat junk food than adults. Lots of parents are busy with work and have no time to cook, so teenagers know fast food at a young age. It can be difficult for them to know the importance of eating food for nutrition. Also, ordering junk food online is very convenient, so it is easy for teenagers to live a not-so-healthy life. Once teenagers get the delicious taste of junk food, they will keep having it more often than home-made dishes.
It all starts with parents. It’s parents’ job to care more about their children’s health and help them develop healthy eating habits. It will turn into a healthy lifestyle and help them a lot in the future.

Today is Jim’s thirteenth birthday. Many of his friends come to his birthday party. They sing songs, play games, and share a big birthday cake together in the afternoon.

“But why don’t you go to bed, Mum?” Jim asks.
“We are adults (成年人),”says his mother. “Adults can go to bed late.”

Knowing what the weather will be like for the next days is important. But how can we know it? We can listen to the weather report on TV. But what if we are not at home? Then we need to use other ways to know it. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the next day or two is called weather forecasting (天气预报). Here are some ways for you to tell the coming weather.
As we all know, Chinese people started to study weather and made weather forecasting long ago. If you see rings around the sun, it can be rainy tomorrow. Some birds fly high if the fine weather is coming, but they fly quite low if the rain is on the way. If you see a rainbow (彩虹) during rainy weather, this is to say that the weather is becoming fine. These rainbows come in the evening. And if there is a rainbow in the morning, we will have the rainy weather. If you can see lots of stars at night, then we will have fine weather. When the sunset (日落) is red in colour, a fine day is coming.
When you find the differences around you, you may also find other ways to forecast the weather.

One day in autumn, Squire Gordon, my master, went on a trip into town. John, my caretaker, went with him. I pulled the cart. The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily.
Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much higher. My master said to John,“I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr. Gordon and John could not see well in the rain.
We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare (敢于) not go forward, and I made a dead stop. “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave me a touch with a whip (鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward.
“There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. “Come on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe.
Just then the man on the other side saw us.
“Hey! Halloo! Stop!” he cried.
“What’s the matter?” shouted my master.
“The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ ll be into the river.”
“Thank you for saving us, Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller.
When we returned home, the Squire told Mrs. Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.”
John took me to the stable. Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired.
