They don't have enough learning resources, especially for English. I believe English is not just a language—it also gives people the chance to see the world differently. So I started thinking about what I could do for these children. Then, I came up with an idea: to make special English learning materials! More than 10 classmates joined me, and we started a club called "Out of Mountains". Our English materials have three parts: listening, reading and writing. We decided to publish them every month and send them to children by email. We also built a website so children could get information more easily. Each of us worked on one part, such as writing content, designing layouts, making illustrations and developing the website. To make the learning process more fun, we chose interesting topics for kids, like holidays. The hardest part was finding the children. I contacted schools in Liangshan, Sichuan. I also reached out to children through some WeChat official accounts. I felt nervous talking to them and was afraid of being turned down, but I did my best to share our ideas. In the end, we got the readers we had hoped for. Every time a parent emailed us saying, "My child really liked the story.", it gave us the strength to keep going. I hope our small acts can help give these kids a better future. 我经常读到关于中国山区儿童的报道。他们没有足够的学习资源，尤其是英语学习资源。我认为英语不仅仅是一门语言 —— 它还能让人们有机会以不同的视角看待世界。于是我开始思考，自己能为这些孩子做些什么。 后来，我想到了一个主意：制作专门的英语学习材料！十多名同学加入了我的行列，我们创办了一个名为 “走出大山” 的俱乐部。、 我们的英语学习材料分为听力、阅读和写作三个部分。我们决定每月更新一期，通过电子邮件发送给孩子们。我们还搭建了一个网站，方便孩子们获取学习资源。我们每个人负责一个板块，比如撰写内容、设计版式、绘制插画和开发网站。为了让学习过程更有趣，我们为孩子们挑选了节日这类有意思的主题。 最困难的环节是找到对接的孩子。我联系了四川凉山的学校，还通过一些微信公众号尝试联系孩子们。和他们沟通时我很紧张，担心会被拒绝，但我还是尽全力介绍我们的想法。 最终，我们找到了预期的读者。每当有家长给我们发邮件说 “我的孩子真的很喜欢这个故事”，这份认可就成了我们坚持下去的动力。我希望我们的小小举动能帮助这些孩子拥有更美好的未来。 【长难句分析】 1. "I often read about children living in the mountains of China. They don't have enough learning resources, especially for English." 翻译：我经常读到关于中国山区儿童的报道。他们没有足够的学习资源，尤其是英语学习资源。 重点：living in the mountains of China 是现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰名词children；副词especially用来加强语气，对前面的名词learning resources进行举例强调。 2. "Each of us worked on one part, such as writing content, designing layouts, making illustrations and developing the website." 翻译：我们每个人负责一个板块，比如撰写内容、设计版式、绘制插画和开发网站。 重点：such as用来列举事例，后面接并列的动名词短语writing、designing、making、developing；each of us作主语，谓语动词使用单数形式。 3. "I felt nervous talking to them and was afraid of being turned down, but I did my best to share our ideas." 翻译：和他们沟通时我很紧张，担心会被拒绝，但我还是尽全力介绍我们的想法。 重点：现在分词talking to them作时间状语，相当于when I talked to them；be afraid of doing sth表示“害怕做某事”，being turned down是动名词的被动形式；固定短语turn down意为“拒绝”；but连接并列句表转折。 4. "Every time a parent emailed us saying, 'My child really liked the story.', it gave us the strength to keep going." 翻译：每当有家长给我们发邮件说“我的孩子真的很喜欢这个故事”，这份认可就给了我们坚持下去的力量。 重点：every time引导时间状语从句，意为“每当……”；现在分词saying作伴随状语，说明发邮件的同时附带的内容；不定式to keep going作后置定语，修饰名词strength。 【重难词汇梳理】 resource (n.) 资源          contact (v.) 联系 layout (n.) 版式 illustration (n.) 插图 develop (v.) 开发 strength (n.) 力量 content (n.) 内容          reach out 联系 turn down 拒绝 keep going 坚持下去 Passage2 Finish What You Start 无论多难，都要坚持到底 Derek Redmond It was the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992, the semi-final of the 400 metres. The sun was shining and the crowd were ready for a great race. The British athlete Derek Redmond was a top runner: he had a very good chance of winning a medal.The race began. At first, Derek was running well. Then, after about 150 metres, he felt a pain in his leg. He fell down on one knee. He had a bad injury and couldn't carry on. The other runners went past him and finished the race.After about five seconds, Derek got up and started to run again, on one leg only. Some organizers tried to stop him but he kept going. The crowd stood up and started to clap. Then another man came onto the track—Derek's father, Jim. His father put his arm around him and said, "Derek, you don't have to do this." Derek replied, "Yes, I do. I have to finish." And so together they walked the last 50 metres and crossed the line.When he finally crossed the line, Derek was crying and 60,000 people were cheering him. Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner In the summer of 2010, mountaineer Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner was almost at the top of a mountain called K2 in Nepal. She was trying to climb the 8,611-metre mountain for the fifth time and this time she was climbing with her friend Fredrik Ericsson.It was about 7 o'clock in the morning and it was snowing a little. The two climbers were getting ready to go up the last 400 metres. Fredrik was trying to tie some rope but he slipped and fell past Gerlinde. He fell 1,000 metres and was killed.K2 was now a very sad place for her, and she thought perhaps she would never climb the mountain.But there was something very important that she wanted to do: K2 is one of 14 mountains in the world that are 8,000 metres or higher, and her dream was to climb them all.So in August 2011 she went back to Nepal and K2, and tried again. This time, she got to the top. Her dream was complete. 德里克・雷德蒙德 故事发生在 1992 年巴塞罗那奥运会的 400 米半决赛赛场。阳光明媚，观众们都期待着一场精彩的比赛。英国运动员德里克・雷德蒙德是顶尖选手，他非常有希望夺得奖牌。比赛开始了。起初，德里克跑得很顺利。可跑了大约 150 米后，他的腿部一阵剧痛，单膝跪倒在地。他伤势严重，无法继续比赛。其他选手纷纷从他身边跑过，冲过了终点。大约五秒钟后，德里克站了起来，仅凭一条腿继续向前跑。赛事工作人员试图拦住他，但他坚持前行。全场观众起立鼓掌。这时，另一个男人跑进了跑道 —— 是德里克的父亲吉姆。父亲扶着他说：“德里克，你不用硬撑。” 德里克回答：“不，我必须跑完。” 就这样，两人一起走完了最后 50 米，跨过了终点线。当德里克最终冲过终点时，他泪流满面，全场六万名观众都在为他欢呼。 格尔琳德・卡尔滕布鲁纳 2010 年夏天，登山家格尔琳德・卡尔滕布鲁纳即将登顶尼泊尔境内的乔戈里峰。这是她第五次尝试攀登这座海拔 8611 米的山峰，这次她和朋友弗雷德里克・埃里克松结伴而行。当时大约是早上七点，天飘着小雪。两名登山者正准备冲刺最后的 400 米。弗雷德里克试图系绳索时脚下一滑，从格尔琳德身边坠落。他下落了 1000 米，不幸遇难。乔戈里峰从此成了她的伤心地，她觉得自己或许再也不会攀登这座山了。但她还有一个非常重要的心愿：全世界共有 14 座海拔 8000 米以上的山峰，乔戈里峰是其中之一，而她的梦想是登遍所有高峰。于是 2011 年 8 月，她重返尼泊尔，再次向乔戈里峰发起挑战。这一次，她成功登顶。她的梦想实现了。 【长难句分析】 1. "He had a bad injury and couldn't carry on. The other runners went past him and finished the race." 翻译：他伤势严重，无法继续比赛。其他选手纷纷从他身边跑过，完成了比赛。 重点：carry on为固定短语，意为“继续做、坚持”；两个简单句由and连接并列谓语；go past动词短语，表示“从……旁边经过”。 2. "Some organizers tried to stop him but he kept going. The crowd stood up and started to clap." 翻译：一些赛事工作人员试图拦住他，但他坚持向前。观众们站起身开始鼓掌。 重点：try to do sth意为“尽力做某事”；keep doing sth固定搭配，意为“持续、坚持做某事”；but连词表转折，体现人物不放弃的精神。 3.

Yet few know the man behind these beloved characters-Rob Paulsen, a voice actor. In 2015, Paulsen found a small lump(肿块) on his neck and paid little attention to it at first. Doctors soon examined him and gave him a shocking result, a serious throat illness in a late stage. For a voice actor, this was a cruel hit, since his voice mattered a lot to his career. Paulsen went through months of hard medical treatment. He felt tired out all the time, his mouth stayed dry, and food had no taste at all. Worst of all, his voice was hurt, and he worried that he could never work as a voice actor again. However, he went through the pain and gradually became better. His life changed greatly. He could no longer enjoy spicy food, lost weight, and his hair turned white. But he also gained something more valuable-empathy(同理心). He now truly understands the struggles of people fighting illness, and can sincerely say "I get it" to sick children and other patients. Today, Paulsen works closely with a US health group, telling people to check for unusual lumps as early as possible. He has also returned to voice acting, reprising(重新演绎)his roles in Animaniacs reboot. As an aspiring(有抱负的)voice actor, I think he is really brave and kind.

Passage2 (25-26南京玄武期末)Wang Zizhong, the 79-year-old farmer from Ciyu Village in Shandong, has spent 43 years greening mountains and protecting forests with his 56-year-old son Wang Tao. Their hard work shows the green development idea is deeply rooted in people's hearts. In 1983, Wang saw the dry, lifeless hills near his village. Serious soil and water loss made villagers' lives hard, so he left his job as a village teacher to plant trees there. He moved his family into a mountain stone cave to work. They dug holes for seedlings(树苗)and carried water uphill for miles, as there were no roads. Each bucket of water could only feed a few trees, so they made countless trips every day. They lived simply on the mountain for over a month each season.In 1997, Wang's wife died of a heart attack on the mountain. Heartbroken but strong, he kept working alone. The family planted over 200,000 trees, turning brown hills into forests. Wang guarded the forests and planted more trees. As Wang grew older, he passed the duty to his son, Wang Tao. Growing up alongside his father, Wang Tao gladly took the job. Today, he walks the same paths, caring for the forests and realizing his father's dream.

Passage3 (25-26扬州期末)Nan Rendong, the chief scientist and engineer of China's Five-hundred-metre Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), was a pioneer in the field of astronomical research(天文研究)in China. He spent more than 20 years on the project, which made it one of the world's most powerful radio telescopes that can watch the universe in detail. Born in 1945, Nan studied Physics at university and later went abroad for further education. However, when he learned that China planned to build a large radio telescope, he gave up his comfortable overseas life and returned to his motherland. His goal was clear-to build a telescope that could help humans explore the mysteries of the universe, from distant galaxies to the birth of stars. The construction of FAST was extremely challenging. The chosen site was a remote valley in Guizhou Province where there were no roads or modern facilities in the beginning. Nan led his team to climb mountains and cross rivers to carry out surveys, and they solved dozens of technical problems during the process. In 2016, FAST was finally completed. It is about 30 times more sensitive than the second-largest radio telescope in the world and can pick up radio signals from billions of light years away, which means it can "hear" sounds that no other telescope has ever detected. Sadly, Nan passed away in 2017 due to illness and did not live long enough to see all the achievements of FAST. However, his contribution has been deeply remembered. The international astronomical community named an asteroid(小行星)after him in honour of his great work. Today, FAST continues to run well. It helps scientists discover new pulsars(脉冲星) and study the origin of the universe. It stands as a shining symbol of Chinese wisdom and innovation, and a lasting honour to Nan's lifelong devotion to science. 1. Why did Nan Rendong decide to return to China according to the passage? A. He found himself unable to get used to life abroad. B. He was offered a high-paying position in his motherland. C. He wanted to solve technical problems for an international programme. D. He aimed to join in the construction of China's large radio telescope. 2. Which of the following is TRUE about the construction of FAST? A. The project was finished in 2017. B. The chosen site in Guizhou had no roads or modern facilities in the beginning. C. The team failed to carry out any surveys during the process. D. FAST is 30 times larger than the world's second-largest radio telescope. 3. What can we infer from the passage? A. FAST is the only powerful radio telescope in the world. B. The project was completed within 20 years. C. Nan Rendong's hard work played a key role in FAST's success. D. FAST helps scientists discover an asteroid named after Nan Rendong. 4. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain the scientific rules behind FAST's design. B. To introduce the location and construction process of FAST. C. To praise Nan Rendong's contributions and the value of FAST. D. To compare FAST with other radio telescopes around the world. Passage4 (25-26南京联合体期中)Summer break is more than just vacations-it's the perfect time for teens to explore chances that can bring them both fun and financial(经济的)independence. The right summer jobs not only help them make money but also build skills, gain confidence, and open doors to future careers. Here are four exciting choices to consider. Working as a lifeguard is one of the most popular summer jobs for teens. They can not only get paid well, but also spend their days at the beach. Certification(证书)is required, but once trained, teens can gain valuable responsibilities, leadership, and quick-thinking skills. For teens who are patient and love kids, babysitting is a fantastic choice. Duties include playing with children, looking after them and ensuring their safety. This summer job for teens often offers flexible hours and good pay. Besides these, teens can also gain responsibilities and problem-solving experience. For teens who enjoy being outdoors, gardening jobs are the right ones for them. These summer jobs include mowing lawns, planting flowers, watering plants and clearing the fallen leaves. They can learn how to care for a garden, get much exercise and meanwhile gain practical skills. Love dogs? Confident that you could deal with more than one at a time? Then a dog walker is the perfect fit. Dog walking requires no working experience and has flexible hours, making it a good job for teens. Teens can gain exercise and problem-solving skills as well. 1. Which job requires special certification according to the passage? A. Babysitter. B. Lifeguard. C. Gardener. D. Dog walker. 2. What do the four jobs have in common? A. Offering good pay. B. Having outdoor work. C. Attending special training. D. Developing useful skills. 3. Which part of the newspaper may this passage be from? A. School time. B. Teenage life. C. Magic world. D. Job interview. Passage5 (25-26盐城亭湖期末)Many young people today don't want to be noticed by others. Why do they feel this way? Three students share their opinions in the posts. He Yan,15,China I think there are two main reasons. First, students face heavy stress from schoolwork and future expectations. Being noticed often brings more pressure. Second, young people want to protect their privacy. The internet makes it easy for personal information to spread quickly, so staying low-key helps avoid unnecessary trouble. I sometimes feel the same way. When I perform poorly in exams, I prefer to stay unnoticed, which helps me relax and feel more comfortable. Ivana Sens,16,Germany I am quite different, though. I enjoy being noticed, especially when I'm doing something I love. But this is not common in my country. Being quiet is not a weakness in Germany. Students who listen carefully and don't try to stand out are often seen as serious and reliable. That's why many young people here avoid attention. Once, my history teacher asked me to present my project. Feeling uncomfortable, I spoke quickly and avoided eye contact. When I finished, I felt much better. It wasn't fear-it was just the pressure of being watched. This comes from our culture and habit. In Germany, we value order, teamwork and modesty. For me, confidence means being calm and thoughtful, even without attention. 1. According to He Yan, why do young people avoid attention? A. They don't like to communicate with others. B. They are afraid of making mistakes in public. C. They prefer to spend more time on the internet. D. They want to prevent trouble and reduce stress. 2. How is Ivana different from her classmates? A. She enjoys being the centre of attention sometimes. B. She feels more stress from schoolwork than others. C. She has a real gift for languages and stage designs. D. She thinks social media makes people more confident. 3. How did Ivana feel when presenting her project in class? A. She felt excited to speak up. B. She was afraid of her teacher. C. She felt uneasy and nervous. D. She was excited and confident. 4. What is the passage mainly about? A. Why young people feel stressed at school. B. Why some young people avoid being noticed. C. How social media influences young people's lives. D. How different cultures shape young people's habits. Passage6 (25-26无锡江阴期末)Have you ever really loved a TV show? I mean the kind you think about all day and can't wait to discuss with your friends. Especially when an episode(集) ends with an unsolved situation that makes you really want to know what happens next—but when will the next episode be? This wanting often leads to binge-watching(追剧). Thanks to developments in internet speed and technology, streaming(流媒体) services now allow us to watch the whole seasons of our favourite shows whenever we want. This has made binge-watching very common among young people. However, recent research from a British media watchdog has found that of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have put off their homework. Next we'll be missing work! Teachers are now worried that students might fail to complete homework for the same reason. ▲ All of these are often connected to a shortage of self-control and may develop into bad habits. Many people find binge-watching difficult to stop once they start. Some students report that it has made them unable to focus on studying. This raises an important question: could binge-watching become a new form of addiction? Plenty of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, like any activity, when we go too far, it can be dangerous. It becomes especially worrying when it begins to influence our sleep, schoolwork, or personal relationships. So what's the solution? Moderation! Learning to manage our screen time wisely requires us to set clear rules-for example, by deciding on a viewing timetable beforehand-while also exploring other relaxing activities, such as reading, doing sports, or socializing with friends. Remember the old saying, "A little of what you enjoy does you good." 1. What can we learn about binge-watching? A. It encourages students to finish their homework on time. B. It is becoming less common because of new technology. C. It may lead to sleep loss and less time for important tasks. D. It helps build closer friendship through shared TV interests. 2. Why did the writer mention a research from a British media watchdog in Paragraph 3? A. To prove that binge-watching can be harmful. B. To show how popular binge-watching is among adults. C. To introduce the main contents of TV shows in Britain. D. To explain why streaming services have become so popular. 3. Which sentence can be put in the ▲ in Paragraph 4? A. Why should people stop binge-watching? B. What are the main reasons for binge-watching? C. Binge-watching stops us better understanding the world. D. Binge-watching is similar to harmful habits like binge-eating. 4. What's the passage mainly about? A. Binge-watching is popular but should be controlled wisely. B. Streaming services bring enjoyment as well as self-control problems. C. Binge-watching has become an addiction that influences our daily lives. D. People should manage their screen time and find other relaxing activities instead. 1 / 5 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 3 Never give up 单元阅读精练 模块 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文 阅读 Passage1 阅读理解 说明文 约 330 讲述一名学生创办“走出大山”俱乐部，为山区儿童制作英语学习材料，体现教育公益与坚持精神。 Passage2 阅读理解 记叙文 约 540 叙述英国运动员Derek Redmond和登山家Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner在奥运与登山中克服伤病与悲痛，坚持完成目标的故事。 实战 演练 Passage1 阅读理解 记叙文 约 340 介绍美国配音演员Rob Paulsen患喉癌后坚持治疗，重返配音岗位，并用自身经历激励病患，传递勇气与同理心。 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 约 300 讲述山东农民王孜忠父子43年坚持植树造林，将荒山变绿林，体现绿色发展与代际传承。 Passage3 阅读理解 记叙文 约 260 介绍“中国天眼”FAST总工程师南仁东，放弃国外优厚条件回国，带领团队克服困难建成世界顶级射电望远镜。 Passage4 阅读理解 记叙文 约 240 推荐适合青少年的四种暑期工作（救生员、保姆、园艺工、遛狗人），强调在劳动中锻炼能力与责任感。 Passage5 阅读理解 记叙文 约300 探讨青少年为何不愿被关注，分别从中国和德国学生视角分析压力、隐私、文化与性格因素。 Passage5 阅读理解 记叙文 约400 讨论“追剧”现象对青少年学习、睡眠和自控力的影响，提倡适度娱乐与时间管理。 Passage1 Out of Mountains, Into a Wider World 走出大山，走向更广阔的世界 I often read about children living in the mountains of China.

The sun was shining and the crowd were ready for a great race. The British athlete Derek Redmond was a top runner: he had a very good chance of winning a medal.The race began. At first, Derek was running well. Then, after about 150 metres, he felt a pain in his leg. He fell down on one knee. He had a bad injury and couldn't carry on. The other runners went past him and finished the race.After about five seconds, Derek got up and started to run again, on one leg only. Some organizers tried to stop him but he kept going. The crowd stood up and started to clap. Then another man came onto the track—Derek's father, Jim. His father put his arm around him and said, "Derek, you don't have to do this." Derek replied, "Yes, I do. I have to finish." And so together they walked the last 50 metres and crossed the line.When he finally crossed the line, Derek was crying and 60,000 people were cheering him. Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner In the summer of 2010, mountaineer Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner was almost at the top of a mountain called K2 in Nepal. She was trying to climb the 8,611-metre mountain for the fifth time and this time she was climbing with her friend Fredrik Ericsson.It was about 7 o'clock in the morning and it was snowing a little. The two climbers were getting ready to go up the last 400 metres. Fredrik was trying to tie some rope but he slipped and fell past Gerlinde. He fell 1,000 metres and was killed.K2 was now a very sad place for her, and she thought perhaps she would never climb the mountain.But there was something very important that she wanted to do: K2 is one of 14 mountains in the world that are 8,000 metres or higher, and her dream was to climb them all.So in August 2011 she went back to Nepal and K2, and tried again. This time, she got to the top. Her dream was complete. 德里克・雷德蒙德 故事发生在 1992 年巴塞罗那奥运会的 400 米半决赛赛场。阳光明媚，观众们都期待着一场精彩的比赛。英国运动员德里克・雷德蒙德是顶尖选手，他非常有希望夺得奖牌。比赛开始了。起初，德里克跑得很顺利。可跑了大约 150 米后，他的腿部一阵剧痛，单膝跪倒在地。他伤势严重，无法继续比赛。其他选手纷纷从他身边跑过，冲过了终点。大约五秒钟后，德里克站了起来，仅凭一条腿继续向前跑。赛事工作人员试图拦住他，但他坚持前行。全场观众起立鼓掌。这时，另一个男人跑进了跑道 —— 是德里克的父亲吉姆。父亲扶着他说：“德里克，你不用硬撑。” 德里克回答：“不，我必须跑完。” 就这样，两人一起走完了最后 50 米，跨过了终点线。当德里克最终冲过终点时，他泪流满面，全场六万名观众都在为他欢呼。 格尔琳德・卡尔滕布鲁纳 2010 年夏天，登山家格尔琳德・卡尔滕布鲁纳即将登顶尼泊尔境内的乔戈里峰。这是她第五次尝试攀登这座海拔 8611 米的山峰，这次她和朋友弗雷德里克・埃里克松结伴而行。当时大约是早上七点，天飘着小雪。两名登山者正准备冲刺最后的 400 米。弗雷德里克试图系绳索时脚下一滑，从格尔琳德身边坠落。他下落了 1000 米，不幸遇难。乔戈里峰从此成了她的伤心地，她觉得自己或许再也不会攀登这座山了。但她还有一个非常重要的心愿：全世界共有 14 座海拔 8000 米以上的山峰，乔戈里峰是其中之一，而她的梦想是登遍所有高峰。于是 2011 年 8 月，她重返尼泊尔，再次向乔戈里峰发起挑战。这一次，她成功登顶。她的梦想实现了。 【长难句分析】 1.

Yet few know the man behind these beloved characters-Rob Paulsen, a voice actor. In 2015, Paulsen found a small lump(肿块) on his neck and paid little attention to it at first. Doctors soon examined him and gave him a shocking result, a serious throat illness in a late stage. For a voice actor, this was a cruel hit, since his voice mattered a lot to his career. Paulsen went through months of hard medical treatment. He felt tired out all the time, his mouth stayed dry, and food had no taste at all. Worst of all, his voice was hurt, and he worried that he could never work as a voice actor again. However, he went through the pain and gradually became better. His life changed greatly. He could no longer enjoy spicy food, lost weight, and his hair turned white. But he also gained something more valuable-empathy(同理心). He now truly understands the struggles of people fighting illness, and can sincerely say "I get it" to sick children and other patients. Today, Paulsen works closely with a US health group, telling people to check for unusual lumps as early as possible. He has also returned to voice acting, reprising(重新演绎)his roles in Animaniacs reboot. As an aspiring(有抱负的)voice actor, I think he is really brave and kind. Actions speak louder than words, and we should all learn from his courage. 1. What worried Paulsen most during the medical treatment? A. The loss of his weight. B. The loss of his voice. C.

He spent more than 20 years on the project, which made it one of the world's most powerful radio telescopes that can watch the universe in detail. Born in 1945, Nan studied Physics at university and later went abroad for further education. However, when he learned that China planned to build a large radio telescope, he gave up his comfortable overseas life and returned to his motherland. His goal was clear-to build a telescope that could help humans explore the mysteries of the universe, from distant galaxies to the birth of stars. The construction of FAST was extremely challenging. The chosen site was a remote valley in Guizhou Province where there were no roads or modern facilities in the beginning. Nan led his team to climb mountains and cross rivers to carry out surveys, and they solved dozens of technical problems during the process. In 2016, FAST was finally completed. It is about 30 times more sensitive than the second-largest radio telescope in the world and can pick up radio signals from billions of light years away, which means it can "hear" sounds that no other telescope has ever detected. Sadly, Nan passed away in 2017 due to illness and did not live long enough to see all the achievements of FAST. However, his contribution has been deeply remembered. The international astronomical community named an asteroid(小行星)after him in honour of his great work. Today, FAST continues to run well. It helps scientists discover new pulsars(脉冲星) and study the origin of the universe. It stands as a shining symbol of Chinese wisdom and innovation, and a lasting honour to Nan's lifelong devotion to science. 1. Why did Nan Rendong decide to return to China according to the passage? A. He found himself unable to get used to life abroad. B. He was offered a high-paying position in his motherland. C. He wanted to solve technical problems for an international programme. D.

Why do they feel this way? Three students share their opinions in the posts. He Yan,15,China I think there are two main reasons. First, students face heavy stress from schoolwork and future expectations. Being noticed often brings more pressure. Second, young people want to protect their privacy. The internet makes it easy for personal information to spread quickly, so staying low-key helps avoid unnecessary trouble. I sometimes feel the same way. When I perform poorly in exams, I prefer to stay unnoticed, which helps me relax and feel more comfortable. Ivana Sens,16,Germany I am quite different, though. I enjoy being noticed, especially when I'm doing something I love. But this is not common in my country. Being quiet is not a weakness in Germany. Students who listen carefully and don't try to stand out are often seen as serious and reliable. That's why many young people here avoid attention. Once, my history teacher asked me to present my project. Feeling uncomfortable, I spoke quickly and avoided eye contact. When I finished, I felt much better. It wasn't fear-it was just the pressure of being watched. This comes from our culture and habit. In Germany, we value order, teamwork and modesty. For me, confidence means being calm and thoughtful, even without attention. 1. According to He Yan, why do young people avoid attention? A. They don't like to communicate with others. B. They are afraid of making mistakes in public. C. They prefer to spend more time on the internet. D. They want to prevent trouble and reduce stress. 2. How is Ivana different from her classmates? A. She enjoys being the centre of attention sometimes. B. She feels more stress from schoolwork than others. C. She has a real gift for languages and stage designs. D. She thinks social media makes people more confident. 3. How did Ivana feel when presenting her project in class? A. She felt excited to speak up. B. She was afraid of her teacher. C. She felt uneasy and nervous. D. She was excited and confident. 4. What is the passage mainly about? A. Why young people feel stressed at school. B. Why some young people avoid being noticed. C. How social media influences young people's lives. D. How different cultures shape young people's habits. 【答案】 1. D 2. A 3. C 4. B 【导语】 本文通过中国学生 He Yan 和德国学生 Ivana Sens 的分享，探讨了青少年不愿被关注的原因，包括学业压力、隐私保护、文化传统（如德国注重秩序和谦逊）等因素。 【解析】 1. 细节理解题。He Yan 提出两点：压力（带来更多压力）和隐私（避免麻烦），综合为避免麻烦和减少压力。故选 D。 2. 细节理解题。Ivana 说“I enjoy being noticed, especially when I’m doing something I love”，而她的同学们普遍低调，所以她的不同之处是有时喜欢成为焦点。故选 A。 3. 细节理解题。Ivana 描述自己上台时“Feeling uncomfortable, I spoke quickly and avoided eye contact”，明显是不安紧张。故选 C。 4. 主旨大意题。文章通篇围绕“为什么一些青少年避免被关注”展开，从个人和文化角度分析。故选 B。 Passage6 (25-26无锡江阴期末)Have you ever really loved a TV show? I mean the kind you think about all day and can't wait to discuss with your friends. Especially when an episode(集) ends with an unsolved situation that makes you really want to know what happens next—but when will the next episode be? This wanting often leads to binge-watching(追剧). Thanks to developments in internet speed and technology, streaming(流媒体) services now allow us to watch the whole seasons of our favourite shows whenever we want. This has made binge-watching very common among young people. However, recent research from a British media watchdog has found that of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have put off their homework. Next we'll be missing work! Teachers are now worried that students might fail to complete homework for the same reason. ▲ All of these are often connected to a shortage of self-control and may develop into bad habits. Many people find binge-watching difficult to stop once they start. Some students report that it has made them unable to focus on studying. This raises an important question: could binge-watching become a new form of addiction? Plenty of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, like any activity, when we go too far, it can be dangerous. It becomes especially worrying when it begins to influence our sleep, schoolwork, or personal relationships. So what's the solution? Moderation! Learning to manage our screen time wisely requires us to set clear rules-for example, by deciding on a viewing timetable beforehand-while also exploring other relaxing activities, such as reading, doing sports, or socializing with friends. Remember the old saying, "A little of what you enjoy does you good." 1. What can we learn about binge-watching? A. It encourages students to finish their homework on time. B. It is becoming less common because of new technology. C. It may lead to sleep loss and less time for important tasks. D. It helps build closer friendship through shared TV interests. 2. Why did the writer mention a research from a British media watchdog in Paragraph 3? A. To prove that binge-watching can be harmful. B. To show how popular binge-watching is among adults. C. To introduce the main contents of TV shows in Britain. D. To explain why streaming services have become so popular. 3. Which sentence can be put in the ▲ in Paragraph 4? A. Why should people stop binge-watching? B. What are the main reasons for binge-watching? C. Binge-watching stops us better understanding the world. D. Binge-watching is similar to harmful habits like binge-eating. 4. What's the passage mainly about? A. Binge-watching is popular but should be controlled wisely. B. Streaming services bring enjoyment as well as self-control problems. C. Binge-watching has become an addiction that influences our daily lives. D. People should manage their screen time and find other relaxing activities instead. 【答案】 1. C 2. A 3. D 4. A 【导语】 本文讨论了流媒体时代追剧的普遍现象，指出它可能导致睡眠不足、耽误学业，甚至类似成瘾，最后建议适度管理屏幕时间，探索其他放松方式。 【解析】 1. 细节理解题。第三段提到“almost a third have admitted missing sleep... and one quarter have put off their homework”，即导致睡眠不足和耽误重要任务。故选 C。 2. 推理判断题。作者引用英国媒体监管机构的研究数据，目的是用事实证明追剧确实有害（影响睡眠和作业）。故选 A。 3. 句子还原题。第四段空后提到“All of these are often connected to a shortage of self-control and may develop into bad habits”，前文应引入“类似不良习惯”的类比，D 项“Binge-watching is similar to harmful habits like binge-eating”最恰当。故选 D。 4. 主旨大意题。文章开头承认追剧普遍，中间讲危害，结尾强调“Moderation”并建议合理控制，因此主旨是追剧虽流行但应明智控制。故选 A。 1 / 5 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
