If you are creative, you can try painting, writing or handcrafts. If you are outgoing, join sports clubs or music teams. A suitable hobby fits your life and makes you relaxed instead of bringing you pressure. ② Learn from others You can ask your teachers, parents or friends for advice. They know you well and can give you proper suggestions. You can also join hobby clubs at school. In the club, you can meet people with the same interest, learn from each other and encourage each other to keep going. Sharing your hobby with others will bring you more happiness. ③ Take it easy Don’t treat your hobby as a new study task. You don’t have to be perfect at it. The purpose of having a hobby is to enjoy yourself, not to compete with others. If you only care about being better than others, you will lose the real fun of your hobby. Just enjoy the process and grow slowly. ④ Keep it simple You don’t need to learn too many hobbies at the same time. One or two meaningful hobbies are enough. Learning too many hobbies will make you tired and you can’t do any of them well. Focus on one thing, keep practicing, and you will gain rewards sooner or later. Hobbies are the treasure of our teenage life. They accompany us through hard study days, comfort us when we are upset, and help us become better versions of ourselves. Choose wisely, stick firmly and enjoy your hobby life. 1．How many tips are listed in the passage? A．3 B．4 C．5 D．6 2．If you are creative, which hobby is suitable? A．Running. B．Swimming. C．Handcrafts. D．Ball games. 3．What is the purpose of having a hobby? A．Compete with others. B．Enjoy yourself. C．Become famous. D．Make much money. 4．Why shouldn’t we learn too many hobbies at the same time? A．It costs too much money. B．It makes us tired and unfocused. C．Our parents won’t allow it. D．It has no meaning at all. 5．The passage is mainly written for ________. A．teachers B．parents C．teenagers D．sports coaches 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了青少年培养兴趣爱好的四点建议：了解自己、向他人学习、放轻松、保持简单。 1．①Know yourself②Learn from others③Take it easy④Keep it simple文中明确列出了4个带编号的建议，因此共有4条。 2．“If you are creative, you can try painting, writing or handcrafts.”该句明确说明有创造力的人适合手工艺品，C项“Handcrafts”为原文直接列举。 3．“The purpose of having a hobby is to enjoy yourself, not to compete with others.”该句直接说明爱好的目的是享受自我，而非与他人竞争。 4．“Learning too many hobbies will make you tired and you can’t do any of them well.”该句说明同时学太多爱好会让人疲惫且无法做好任何一项，B项“tired and unfocused”与此对应。 5．标题“Tips for Teenagers’ Hobby Development”直接点明“为青少年提供的建议”，因此主要读者是青少年。 What kind of person are you?

An energetic person never feels tired and takes part in all kinds of activities. Modest people never show off their success. They are ready to learn from others. Patient people can wait and won’t get angry easily. However, some bad qualities are bad for us. Selfish people only care about themselves and hate sharing.

But are these tests really accurate? Psychologists say that personality is complex. No single test can fully describe who you are. However, understanding your personality can help you make better decisions — especially about your future career. Take 16-year-old Zhang Lin from Nanjing as an example. She used to think she was an introvert(内向的人) because she preferred reading to socializing. But after joining the school’s debate team, she discovered she actually enjoyed expressing her opinions in public. “I was just shy because I lacked practice,” she says. “Now I realize I’m more outgoing than I thought.” Experts suggest that instead of relying only on tests, we should try different activities to discover our true personalities. “The more experiences you have, the better you understand yourself,” says Professor Li from Beijing Normal University. “Personality is not fixed. It grows and changes as we face new challenges.” So next time you take a personality test, remember: it’s just a tool, not a final answer. The real journey of knowing yourself comes from living and trying. 1．What does the survey by China Daily show? A．Most Chinese teenagers are introverts. B．Over 60% of Chinese teenagers have taken personality tests. C．Personality tests are completely accurate. D．Chinese teenagers are interested in careers. 2．According to psychologists, personality tests ________. A．can fully describe who you are B．are not useful at all C．are just tools, not final answers D．should be taken by everyone 3．What changed Zhang Lin’s view of her personality? A．Joining the school debate team. B．Her teacher’s advice. C．An online personality test. D．Reading a book about psychology. 4．Professor Li believes that personality ________. A．never changes B．grows and changes with new challenges C．is decided at birth D．can only be understood through tests 5．What is the main message of this passage? A．Personality tests are a waste of time. B．Introverts cannot become outgoing. C．Teenagers should not take online tests. D．Knowing yourself comes from living and trying. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文主要围绕青少年热衷线上性格测试这一现象展开论述，指出性格测试不能完全定义一个人，性格会随经历与挑战发生变化；想要真正了解自我，不能只依靠测试，更要在生活与实践体验中不断探索。 1．根据文章第一段第一句“China Daily recently reported that more than 60% of Chinese teenagers have taken online personality tests.”可知，《中国日报》的调查显示超过60%的中国青少年做过性格测试。 2．根据文章第二段“No single test can fully describe who you are.”以及最后一段“remember: it’s just a tool, not a final answer.”可知，心理学家认为性格测试只是工具，不是最终答案，不能完全描述一个人。 3．根据文章第三段“But after joining the school’s debate team, she discovered she actually enjoyed expressing her opinions in public.”可知，是参加学校辩论队的经历改变了张琳对自己性格的看法。 4．根据文章第四段李教授的话“Personality is not fixed. It grows and changes as we face new challenges.”可知，李教授认为性格不是固定的，会随着面临新挑战而成长和改变。 5．通读全文，尤其是文章最后一段“The real journey of knowing yourself comes from living and trying.”可知，文章主要传达的信息是了解真正的自我来自于生活经历和尝试，而不仅仅依赖测试。 进阶拓展训练4篇 Do you know what animal you are inside?

It can be difficult to keep going, but knowing how to persist, namely perseverance, can help you understand setbacks and make friendships closer. Perseverance means having a good understanding of our own challenges, that is, having the ability to stick to our goals clearly. If you’re perseverant, you may know that you keep practicing basketball because you love it, and sport makes you happy, or that you prefer reading on your own because it helps you relax. Knowing what you like and dislike, what you do well in and what you find difficult allows you to make better decisions about friendships, schoolwork and so on. You learn to trust your own feelings more, which builds confidence. The World Health Organization says perseverance is one of ten important life skills that help young people live happier, healthier lives. Being perseverant doesn’t mean only thinking of yourself. By understanding your own feelings, you will better understand other people too. How do you learn to be perseverant? It’s a good way to ask questions. But ask yourself questions that start with “What” instead of “Why”. So if you don’t understand why you keep failing a test, ask yourself what you can improve instead of why you’re failing. Learning to be more perseverant is a skill, which means you learn it as you grow. So be bold and try out new things, like joining a marathon or learning a different kind of skill. Don’t be afraid to fail—discovering what you find difficult is a key part of learning more about yourself. 1．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．What perseverance is. B．What true happiness is. C．How to find true happiness. D．How to develop self-awareness. 2．Why is perseverance important? A．Because it’ll make you think more of yourself. B．Because it’ll make you perform better at school. C．Because it’ll help you learn how to ask proper questions. D．Because it’ll help you have a better understanding of others. 3．What does the underlined word “bold” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Hard-working. B．Proud. C．Brave. D．Patient. 4．What’s one of the keys to becoming more perseverant? A．Being in high spirits. B．Discovering your weak points. C．Having a taste for pleasant music. D．Learning to get along well with others. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Getting to know yourself B．The Power of Never Giving Up C．Thinking of yourself D．Asking yourself questions 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文介绍毅力的含义、重要性，并且讲解培养毅力的方法，告诉我们毅力是重要的生活技能，不惧失败、坚持尝试能够更好地认识自我。 1．根据第二段首句“Perseverance means having a good understanding of our own challenges...”可知，本段主要解释了perseverance（毅力）的定义和含义。 2．根据第三段最后一句“By understanding your own feelings, you will better understand other people too.”可知，拥有毅力不仅能理解自己，也能帮助更好地理解他人。 3．根据最后一段“try out new things...Don’t be afraid to fail”可知，此处鼓励尝试新事物且不要害怕失败，需要的是勇气。bold意为“大胆的，勇敢的”，与Brave意思相近。 4．根据最后一段最后一句“discovering what you find difficult is a key part of learning more about yourself.”可知，发现自己觉得困难的地方（即弱点）是变得更有毅力的关键部分。 5．通读全文可知，文章围绕“Perseverance（毅力）”展开，介绍了其定义、重要性及培养方法。Perseverance 的核心含义是坚持不放弃，选项B“永不放弃的力量”最适合做标题。 Millie, Paul, Sandy and David have a warm discussion about their different personalities and suitable future jobs in English class today. Their teacher Ms. Wu says one’s character plays an important role in choosing satisfying work. Millie is a patient girl. She never gets angry easily when her classmates ask her repeated questions. She can explain difficult knowledge to others slowly and clearly. Because of this great quality, she is good at working with all kinds of people and hopes to do jobs that need lots of communication. Paul is totally different. He is careless with numbers all the time. He often writes wrong digits and makes silly mistakes in math exercises. Neither his parents nor he himself thinks he can be a good accountant, because an accountant must be careful enough to deal with plenty of data every day. Sandy is full of creative thoughts. Her art teacher always praises her for her wonderful, exciting new ideas. She can easily come up with special plans for art competitions and class shows. She supposes creative jobs like designer or artist will fit her perfectly in the future. David is a social teenager. He is outgoing and loves chatting with strangers in his free time. He never feels nervous when talking with different people. He dreams of working in sales or public relations, and his future job will involve talking with lots of customers every single day.

Read about these four students and see who you are most similar to. Sandy is a very energetic girl. She gets up at 6:00 every morning and runs for half an hour. She is also very organized—she always makes a plan for her study and never leaves things until the last minute. Her desk is clean, and her notes are tidy. Simon is creative and imaginative. He loves drawing and often comes up with new ideas for school projects. However, he is sometimes a bit careless. Last week, he forgot to bring his homework to school. His teacher said, “You are smart, Simon, but you need to be more careful.”     Amy is quiet and modest. She is good at almost every subject, but she never shows off. When her classmates ask her for help, she is always patient enough to explain things to them. Her teachers say she is a born leader because she works to high standards. Peter is curious about everything. He likes reading books about science and nature. He often asks questions that even his teachers cannot answer. His dream is to become a scientist and make new discoveries in the future. 1．What does Sandy do every morning? A．She reads English for an hour. B．She runs for thirty minutes. C．She cleans her desk. D．She makes plans for the day. 2．Why did Simon’s teacher say he needed to be more careful? A．Because he failed the exam. B．Because he lost his textbook. C．Because he forgot his homework.

D．A writer. 5．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce four students’ hobbies. B．To help students choose their jobs. C．To describe different personalities. D．To teach students how to study better. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇人物介绍，主要描述了四位学生不同的性格特点和行为习惯，帮助读者判断自己与谁最相似。 1．第二段明确指出：“She gets up at 6:00 every morning and runs for half an hour.”，因此桑迪每天早上跑步30分钟。 2．第三段提到：“Last week, he forgot to bring his homework to school. His teacher said, ‘You are smart, Simon, but you need to be more careful.’” 老师说他需要更仔细，是因为他忘记带作业。 3．第四段开头直接描述：“Amy is quiet and modest.”，因此最适合描述她的词是“modest”。 4．第五段末尾明确写道：“His dream is to become a scientist and make new discoveries in the future.”，因此彼得的理想职业是科学家。 5．全文开篇提出：“Do you want to find out what kind of person you are? Read about these four students and see who you are most similar to.”，随后分别介绍四位学生的不同个性。因此，文章主要目的是描述不同性格类型。 能力综合实践4篇 Lu Canglong, a post-90s born in Lishui, Zhejiang Province, invented the “cloud-maker” profession after getting inspiration (灵感) from clouds. In 2015, Lu was shocked when he happened to see a large evening cloud above his head. “That was a fantastic cloud. It seemed to burn the sky,” said Lu. “So I wanted to keep it!” How to keep the beautiful moment became a problem for him. Lu took a picture of the clouds and simulated (仿造) them and then stored them in a clear cube (立方体). Such simulated clouds have become popular among his fans. In 2019, Lu decided to give up his work because his spare time wasn't enough to make enough clouds to meet the increasing need. In the winter of 2019, he opened his store “Sky Fair” online. In 2020 alone, he sold over 200,000 “clouds” to more than 40,000 people across China, and sales reached more than 1 million yuan. Apart from cloud-makers, other creative professions have also appeared across China. Wen Chenhua is an armorsmith (铸甲师). He made his first armor in 2012. It was a Song-Dynasty style fish-scale armor weighing 30 kilos. He hoped to sell it for 50,000 yuan. But the customer offered 1.5 times the price. Wen opened his online store in 2014. His yearly sales are around 6 million yuan now. As of August 2021, there were at least 200,000 creative culture shops online. Around 77 percent of these businesses were operated (经营) by people younger than 30. Thanks to the huge population of Chinese customers as well as the massive (巨大的) sales on online shopping platforms, many new businesses and services are now able to thrive. That brings huge money to these businessmen. “In the age of the Internet, more and more people are able to take up a profession in which their interest lies,” an industry insider said. 1．Why did Lu give up his work in 2019? A．He only wanted to earn much more money. B．Something unlucky happened in his life. C．He needed more time for his part-time job. D．Someone invited him to open a shop online. 2．How much did Wen make from his first armor? A．50,000 yuan. B．1 million yuan. C．75,000 yuan. D．6 million yuan. 3．The underlined word “thrive” is closest in meaning to “________”. A．become acceptable B．grow successfully C．make a change D．enter the market 4．In which part of a newspaper may this passage appear? A．Business. B．Science. C．Travel. D．Fashion. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了两种新兴创意职业——造云师卢沧龙与铸甲师温陈华，同时说明了线上创意文化店铺蓬勃发展，互联网让更多人能从事自己感兴趣的职业。 1．根据第四段“In 2019, Lu decided to give up his work because his spare time wasn't enough to make enough clouds to meet the increasing need.”可知，他需要更多时间投入这份副业。 2．根据第五段“It was a Song-Dynasty style fish-scale armor weighing 30 kilos. He hoped to sell it for 50,000 yuan. But the customer offered 1.5 times the price.”，50000×1.5=75000，可知这套甲卖出了75000元。 3．根据第七段“Thanks to the huge population of Chinese customers as well as the massive sales on online shopping platforms, many new businesses and services are now able to thrive. That brings huge money to these businessmen.”，能推断出thrive表示生意发展顺利、取得成功，和grow successfully含义最贴近。 4．全文围绕新兴创意线上店铺、店铺销售额、商业发展展开，介绍特色商业业态，因此这篇文章会出现在报纸的商业板块。 Different personalities make the world colourful. Organized people love to keep everything in order. Careless people often make mistakes. Social people are good at communicating and they can come up with creative ideas because of rich imagination. These personalities decide how we deal with different things. However, most teenagers meet teenage problems during middle school. Heavy homework, conflicts with parents and worries about hobbies are common troubles. Many students have trouble balancing study and hobbies. Some parents believe hobbies get in the way of schoolwork and ask their children to give up hobbies. If you meet similar problems, don’t keep your worries to yourself. You can talk with teachers or friends. You need to learn to manage time wisely. You should also try to communicate patiently with your parents and explain your thoughts. Some teenagers doubt whether it is worth spending time on hobbies. In fact, suitable hobbies can help you relax after busy study and reduce your stress. The key is balance. Neither study nor hobbies should take up all your time. Remember: it is normal to have problems. What matters is finding proper ways to solve them. 1．Which personality is NOT mentioned in the passage? A．organized B．social C．patient D．careless 2．What is a common teenage problem according to the text? A．Having too many hobbies B．Difficulty balancing study and hobbies C．Being too organized D．Having no imagination 3．What does the writer advise teenagers to do with worries? A．Keep them inside B．Talk with others C．Give up hobbies D．Stay up late to study 4．What does the underlined word “conflicts” mean? A．arguments B．friendships C．plans D．suggestions 5．What is the main idea of the article? A．How to change your personality B．Personalities and ways to solve teenage problems C．Advice on choosing suitable hobbies D．How to become a social person 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讨论了不同性格类型的特点、青少年常见问题（如学业与爱好冲突）以及解决建议，强调平衡与沟通的重要性。 1．第一段列举了三种性格：organized（有条理的）、careless（粗心的）、social（社交型的），未提及patient（耐心的）。 2．第二段明确提到“Many students have trouble balancing study and hobbies”，即“难以平衡学习和爱好”是常见问题。 3．第三段首句“don’t keep your worries to yourself”和“You can talk with teachers or friends”表明作者建议与他人交谈。 4．第二段中“conflicts with parents”与父母之间的冲突，结合语境可知conflicts意为“争吵/矛盾”，与arguments同义。 5．全文先介绍性格类型，再指出青少年问题（如学业与爱好冲突）并提供解决建议（沟通、时间管理、平衡），因此主旨是“性格与解决青少年问题的方法”。 If you had to describe yourself to someone else, what would you say? It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside, but realizing who you are can help you understand feelings and make friendships closer. Self-awareness (自我认知) means knowing your thoughts, feelings and behavior, and understanding how you fit into the world. If you are self-aware, you may know that you love playing basketball because you are good at it, and music makes you happy, or that you prefer watching TV on your own because it helps you relax. Knowing what you like and dislike, what you are good at and what you find difficult allows you to make better decisions about friendships, schoolwork and even which films to watch. You learn to trust your own feelings more, which builds confidence.

In doing this, you can start to find out things that perhaps you do not even think twice about in day-to-day life, and this can be a great way to start developing your self-awareness. Learning to be more self-aware is a skill, which means you learn it as you grow. So try out new things, like playing a new sport or listening to different music. Don’t be afraid to dislike something—discovering what you find difficult and challenging is a key part of learning more about yourself. 1．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．What self-awareness is.

If you are creative, you can try painting, writing or handcrafts. If you are outgoing, join sports clubs or music teams. A suitable hobby fits your life and makes you relaxed instead of bringing you pressure. ② Learn from others You can ask your teachers, parents or friends for advice. They know you well and can give you proper suggestions. You can also join hobby clubs at school. In the club, you can meet people with the same interest, learn from each other and encourage each other to keep going. Sharing your hobby with others will bring you more happiness. ③ Take it easy Don’t treat your hobby as a new study task. You don’t have to be perfect at it. The purpose of having a hobby is to enjoy yourself, not to compete with others. If you only care about being better than others, you will lose the real fun of your hobby. Just enjoy the process and grow slowly. ④ Keep it simple You don’t need to learn too many hobbies at the same time. One or two meaningful hobbies are enough. Learning too many hobbies will make you tired and you can’t do any of them well. Focus on one thing, keep practicing, and you will gain rewards sooner or later.

China Daily recently reported that more than 60% of Chinese teenagers have taken online personality tests. But are these tests really accurate? Psychologists say that personality is complex. No single test can fully describe who you are. However, understanding your personality can help you make better decisions — especially about your future career. Take 16-year-old Zhang Lin from Nanjing as an example. She used to think she was an introvert(内向的人) because she preferred reading to socializing. But after joining the school’s debate team, she discovered she actually enjoyed expressing her opinions in public. “I was just shy because I lacked practice,” she says. “Now I realize I’m more outgoing than I thought.” Experts suggest that instead of relying only on tests, we should try different activities to discover our true personalities. “The more experiences you have, the better you understand yourself,” says Professor Li from Beijing Normal University. “Personality is not fixed. It grows and changes as we face new challenges.” So next time you take a personality test, remember: it’s just a tool, not a final answer. The real journey of knowing yourself comes from living and trying. 1．What does the survey by China Daily show? A．Most Chinese teenagers are introverts. B．Over 60% of Chinese teenagers have taken personality tests. C．Personality tests are completely accurate. D．Chinese teenagers are interested in careers. 2．According to psychologists, personality tests ________. A．can fully describe who you are B．are not useful at all C．are just tools, not final answers D．should be taken by everyone 3．What changed Zhang Lin’s view of her personality? A．Joining the school debate team. B．Her teacher’s advice. C．An online personality test. D．Reading a book about psychology. 4．Professor Li believes that personality ________. A．never changes B．grows and changes with new challenges C．is decided at birth D．can only be understood through tests 5．What is the main message of this passage? A．Personality tests are a waste of time. B．Introverts cannot become outgoing. C．Teenagers should not take online tests. D．Knowing yourself comes from living and trying. 进阶拓展训练4篇 Do you know what animal you are inside?

It can be difficult to keep going, but knowing how to persist, namely perseverance, can help you understand setbacks and make friendships closer. Perseverance means having a good understanding of our own challenges, that is, having the ability to stick to our goals clearly. If you’re perseverant, you may know that you keep practicing basketball because you love it, and sport makes you happy, or that you prefer reading on your own because it helps you relax.

By understanding your own feelings, you will better understand other people too. How do you learn to be perseverant? It’s a good way to ask questions. But ask yourself questions that start with “What” instead of “Why”. So if you don’t understand why you keep failing a test, ask yourself what you can improve instead of why you’re failing. Learning to be more perseverant is a skill, which means you learn it as you grow. So be bold and try out new things, like joining a marathon or learning a different kind of skill.

In 2015, Lu was shocked when he happened to see a large evening cloud above his head. “That was a fantastic cloud. It seemed to burn the sky,” said Lu. “So I wanted to keep it!” How to keep the beautiful moment became a problem for him. Lu took a picture of the clouds and simulated (仿造) them and then stored them in a clear cube (立方体). Such simulated clouds have become popular among his fans. In 2019, Lu decided to give up his work because his spare time wasn't enough to make enough clouds to meet the increasing need. In the winter of 2019, he opened his store “Sky Fair” online. In 2020 alone, he sold over 200,000 “clouds” to more than 40,000 people across China, and sales reached more than 1 million yuan. Apart from cloud-makers, other creative professions have also appeared across China. Wen Chenhua is an armorsmith (铸甲师). He made his first armor in 2012. It was a Song-Dynasty style fish-scale armor weighing 30 kilos. He hoped to sell it for 50,000 yuan. But the customer offered 1.5 times the price. Wen opened his online store in 2014. His yearly sales are around 6 million yuan now. As of August 2021, there were at least 200,000 creative culture shops online. Around 77 percent of these businesses were operated (经营) by people younger than 30. Thanks to the huge population of Chinese customers as well as the massive (巨大的) sales on online shopping platforms, many new businesses and services are now able to thrive. That brings huge money to these businessmen. “In the age of the Internet, more and more people are able to take up a profession in which their interest lies,” an industry insider said. 1．Why did Lu give up his work in 2019? A．He only wanted to earn much more money. B．Something unlucky happened in his life. C．He needed more time for his part-time job. D．Someone invited him to open a shop online. 2．How much did Wen make from his first armor? A．50,000 yuan. B．1 million yuan. C．75,000 yuan. D．6 million yuan. 3．The underlined word “thrive” is closest in meaning to “________”. A．become acceptable B．grow successfully C．make a change D．enter the market 4．In which part of a newspaper may this passage appear? A．Business. B．Science. C．Travel. D．Fashion. Different personalities make the world colourful. Organized people love to keep everything in order. Careless people often make mistakes. Social people are good at communicating and they can come up with creative ideas because of rich imagination. These personalities decide how we deal with different things. However, most teenagers meet teenage problems during middle school. Heavy homework, conflicts with parents and worries about hobbies are common troubles. Many students have trouble balancing study and hobbies. Some parents believe hobbies get in the way of schoolwork and ask their children to give up hobbies. If you meet similar problems, don’t keep your worries to yourself. You can talk with teachers or friends. You need to learn to manage time wisely. You should also try to communicate patiently with your parents and explain your thoughts. Some teenagers doubt whether it is worth spending time on hobbies.
