How can you travel “green” to protect the environment? Walk, bike, take the underground... or maybe drive a special car! A team of 22 Dutch university students created a solar-powered car called Stella Vita. In October 2021, they completed (完成) the car’s first road trip.

(根据文章内容回答下列问题) We often hear people say, “Life is not perfect.” But when problems really come to you, what do you do? Are you able to get through hard times? Liang Jiaxiang has a story to tell. The 13-year-old Beijing boy once took part in the election (竞选) for class monitor. But he failed. It made him feel frustrated (懊恼). “All the books and TV shows say that as long as you work hard toward your goal, you will make it,” said Liang. “But why didn’t I make it? Does it mean hard work is useless?” He spent some time thinking, but still felt upset for he didn’t get any answers. Then he decided to talk to his classmates to find out why he was not chosen. “Through the talks, I learned problems with myself that I never noticed before,” said Liang. “I cheered up again, since I saw what to improve. I will fight for the next vote.” Like Liang, Cao Yuhan, a 12-year-old Beijing girl, used to have difficulties, too. It all started when she was told to learn how to swim. Cao hated swimming. She didn’t practice, so one time she fell into the pool and nearly drowned (溺死). Feeling frightened, the girl said she suddenly felt challenged to learn the sport. “I told myself that I should beat swimming so that I would never drown again. Now I’m an excellent swimmer. If I had given up then, I would never have learned how much I could enjoy the sport.” A positive (正面的) attitude helps make bad things turn good, says Hou Ying, a psychological counselor (心理咨询师) at Beijing Bacui Bilingual School. “Students at my school come to me with different problems,” she says. “Some are angry. Some are worried. Some blame (责备) their problems on others. I always advise them to face their problems, accept them and fix them. It may sound like it is very hard to do, but once you choose to face them, it becomes easier.” Answer the questions. 1. How many students shared their experiences about getting through hard times? 2. Why did Liang Jiaxiang feel frustrated? 3. How old is Cao Yuhan? 4. Can Cao Yuhan swim well now? 5. What suggestions does Hou Ying always give her students? 6. What can you learn from the two examples in the passage? 9.（25-26七上·上海世外中学·期中）Answer the questions.

Soon, we were all laughing hard. “I guess what Alex said about your new teacher really got to you.” said Ollie. “You know,” said Agatha, “I think there might be some information about the teachers on your school’s website. How about doing a little detective work?” On the site, we found a picture of Ms. Newman, who was actually a smiling human, not a scary monster.

Does your breath smell nice, or do you need a piece of gum? Banana Suitcase Has this ever happened to you? You put a banana in your bag lunch in the morning, and when you open the bag at noon, the banana looks like someone drove a car over it.

Have you ever looked at your shoes and wondered how they stay closed without laces? Or maybe you have a backpack that uses a strange, sticky material to seal shut. This clever invention is called Velcro (魔术贴), and its story begins with a walk in the woods. In 1941, a Swiss engineer named George de Mestral went for a walk with his dog in the mountains. When they returned home, he noticed many burrs (植物上的芒刺) stuck to his clothes and his dog’s fur. Curious, George decided to look at a burr under a microscope (显微镜). He saw something amazing. The burr was covered with tiny hooks (钩子). These hooks easily caught onto anything loop-shaped (圈圈形状的，环形的), like the threads (针织的线) in his clothes or the fur on his dog. “This is brilliant!” George thought. “What if I could create a material that works just like this?” He imagined two strips (条状物，带子): one with thousands of tiny hooks, and another with soft loops. When pressed together, the hooks would catch the loops, holding the strips together firmly. To separate them, you just pull them apart. It wasn’t easy to make this idea real. Many people laughed at him. But George didn’t give up. He worked for years to find the right materials. Finally, after many experiments, he succeeded. He named his Invention “Velcro”. At first, Velcro was mainly used by astronauts and skiers because it was so strong and easy to use. But soon, everyone discovered how useful it was. Nowadays, Velcro is everywhere! It’s on your shoes, jackets, lunch boxes, and even inside some cars and airplanes. It’s especially helpful for children learning to tie shoes, or for people who find small buttons difficult. The next time you open your backpack or fasten your shoes, remember the clever engineer and his dog. Their walk in the woods led to an invention that makes all our lives a little easier! 1. Who invented Velcro? 2. The tiny hooks on the burrs easily caught onto anything loop-shaped, didn’t they? 3. What would happen to the hooks and the loops when pressed together? 4. Who mainly used Velcro at first after Velcro was invented? 5. What do you think of George de Mestral? Why? 4.（25-26七上·上海市西初级中学·期中）Answer the questions （根据短文内容回答问题） In recent years, China has seen a big change on its roads: more and more electric cars are running everywhere. This is an exciting time!

Try doing the show in front of your closest friends! Then you’ll get used to performing in front of other people, and you’ll feel more comfortable doing it. Before the show, you should do something to relax. For example, before I went onstage with my band, I used to do jumping jack (开合跳) and take deep breaths.

How can you travel “green” to protect the environment? Walk, bike, take the underground... or maybe drive a special car! A team of 22 Dutch university students created a solar-powered car called Stella Vita. In October 2021, they completed (完成) the car’s first road trip. The 2,800-kilometre trip was powered (提供动力) only by the sun. This solar car has a roof and two foldable (可折叠的) wings. Its roof and wings are equipped with solar panels. When the car is parked, the two hidden wings will stick out (伸出来). This doubles the area of the solar panels to about 17.5 square meters. On sunny days, the car can drive about 120 kilometers per hour. The energy it gets from the sun can also be used to power other things. The user can take a shower, watch TV and make coffee in the car. On cloudy days, the car still makes 60% to 70% of the energy it does on sunny days. How can the car keep going at night? Well, it has a large battery to store energy. This allows the car to travel up to 600 kilometers at night. The Stella Vita isn’t the Dutch team’s first solar car. Since it was set up in 2012, the team has created different types of solar cars. The team members are working to promote this green way of travelling. Let’s hope that in the future, we can all travel “by” the sun! 1. Did the 22 Dutch university students complete the car’s first road trip in October 2021? 2.

It made him feel frustrated (懊恼). “All the books and TV shows say that as long as you work hard toward your goal, you will make it,” said Liang. “But why didn’t I make it? Does it mean hard work is useless?” He spent some time thinking, but still felt upset for he didn’t get any answers. Then he decided to talk to his classmates to find out why he was not chosen. “Through the talks, I learned problems with myself that I never noticed before,” said Liang. “I cheered up again, since I saw what to improve. I will fight for the next vote.” Like Liang, Cao Yuhan, a 12-year-old Beijing girl, used to have difficulties, too. It all started when she was told to learn how to swim. Cao hated swimming. She didn’t practice, so one time she fell into the pool and nearly drowned (溺死). Feeling frightened, the girl said she suddenly felt challenged to learn the sport. “I told myself that I should beat swimming so that I would never drown again. Now I’m an excellent swimmer. If I had given up then, I would never have learned how much I could enjoy the sport.” A positive (正面的) attitude helps make bad things turn good, says Hou Ying, a psychological counselor (心理咨询师) at Beijing Bacui Bilingual School. “Students at my school come to me with different problems,” she says. “Some are angry. Some are worried. Some blame (责备) their problems on others. I always advise them to face their problems, accept them and fix them. It may sound like it is very hard to do, but once you choose to face them, it becomes easier.” Answer the questions. 1. How many students shared their experiences about getting through hard times? 2. Why did Liang Jiaxiang feel frustrated? 3. How old is Cao Yuhan? 4. Can Cao Yuhan swim well now? 5. What suggestions does Hou Ying always give her students? 6. What can you learn from the two examples in the passage? 【答案】1. Two students. 2. Because he failed in the election for class monitor. 3. She is 12 years old. 4. Yes, she can. 5. She always advises them to face their problems, accept them and fix them. 6. I can learn that we should face problems with a positive attitude and try to solve them instead of avoiding them. 【解析】【导语】 本文主要讲述了两个学生在面对困难时的经历，以及心理咨询师给出的建议，强调了积极面对问题、接受并解决问题的重要性。 (1)题解析： 根据文章内容，Liang Jiaxiang和Cao Yuhan两个学生分享了他们度过困难时期的经历。故填Two students. (2)题解析： 根据“The 13-year-old Beijing boy once took part in the election (竞选) for class monitor. But he failed.

A few days before the new school year, my neighbor Ollie and I were playing in the park when we met some kids from my school. “I wish summer wasn’t ending,” said Rose. “But at least I’ll be in Ms. Ramirez’s class. My brother had her last year. She’s so nice.” “I got Mr. Nishimoto,” said Jack. “I’ve heard he brings his guitar and plays funny songs.” “I’d love to have a singing teacher,” I said. “I have Ms. Newman, and I know nothing about her.” “Oh no,” said Alex. “I bet she’s the one people call the mean, green homework machine.” “I don’t listen to rumors (传闻),” I said with a smile. But part of me thought, what if it is true? And that’s when the worry button got pushed in my brain. And once the worry button gets pushed, one worry can turn into lots and lots of worries surprisingly quickly. That night, I had a wild dream. I spent all morning searching for my school uniform and ended up going to school really late. “You’re late,” yelled a scary green monster. “Now you’ll have to do ten times as much homework—every night, forever.” I woke up with my heart racing. That afternoon, Ollie’s grandma, Agatha, asked if I was looking forward to school starting. “Um, not exactly, ” I said. And I started describing my nightmare. The more I described it, the funnier it sounded. Soon, we were all laughing hard. “I guess what Alex said about your new teacher really got to you.” said Ollie. “You know,” said Agatha, “I think there might be some information about the teachers on your school’s website. How about doing a little detective work?” On the site, we found a picture of Ms. Newman, who was actually a smiling human, not a scary monster. Beneath her photo was a description of her hobbies and her pet turtle. The moment I learned some facts about my mystery teacher, my worry button finally switched off. It turned out that Ms. Newman is really a fantastic teacher. She even brings her turtle to class sometimes! 1. Were the kids talking about their summer vacation or their new teachers in the park? 2. Why did the author have a bad dream with a scary green monster in it? 3. What does the underlined part “a little detective work” refer to? 4. When did the author stop worrying? 5. What can you learn from the story? Please answer the question from two different aspects. 【答案】1. Their new teachers. 2. Because the author listened to the rumor about the new teacher and got worried. 3. Looking for some information about the teachers on the school’s website. 4. When the author learned some facts about Ms. Newman on the school’s website. 5. On one hand, we shouldn’t believe rumors easily because rumors may not be true. On the other hand, when we have worries, we can try to find out the facts to get rid of them. 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在新学期开学前，因听闻新老师Ms. Newman的负面传闻而感到担忧，甚至做了噩梦，后来通过在学校网站查询得知老师真实情况后不再担忧，且发现老师很棒的故事。 (1)题解析： 根据第一段中Rose提到“at least I’ll be in Ms. Ramirez’s class”，Jack提到“I got Mr. Nishimoto”，以及作者说“I have Ms. Newman”可知，孩子们在公园里讨论的是他们的新老师。故填Their new teachers. (2)题解析： 根据文中Alex的话“I bet she’s the one people call the mean, green homework machine”以及作者的反应“that’s when the worry button got pushed in my brain”可知，作者因为Alex对Ms. Newman的负面传闻感到焦虑，这种焦虑进而体现在了噩梦中。故填Because the author listened to the rumor about the new teacher and got worried. (3)题解析： 根据Agatha的建议“I think there might be some information about the teachers on your school’s website. How about doing a little detective work?”以及后文作者确实去学校网站查找老师信息可知，这里的“a little detective work”指的是在学校官网上查询老师的信息。故填Looking for some information about the teachers on the school’s website. (4)题解析： 根据倒数第二段中“The moment I learned some facts about my mystery teacher, my worry button finally switched off.”可知，当作者在学校官网上了解到关于Ms. Newman的真实信息时，他/她就不再担心了。故填When the author learned some facts about Ms. Newman on the school’s website. (5)题解析： 开放性问答题。从故事中我们可以学到：一方面，不要轻易相信传闻，因为传闻可能不真实，就像文中关于Ms. Newman是“可怕的绿色作业机器”的传闻并不属实；另一方面，当我们有担忧时，可以通过主动去了解事实来消除担忧，就像作者通过在学校网站查询得知老师真实情况后不再担忧一样。故填On one hand, we shouldn’t believe rumors easily because rumors may not be true. On the other hand, when we have worries, we can try to find out the facts to get rid of them. 10.（25-26七上·上海普陀·期中）Answer the questions.

Have you ever looked at your shoes and wondered how they stay closed without laces? Or maybe you have a backpack that uses a strange, sticky material to seal shut. This clever invention is called Velcro (魔术贴), and its story begins with a walk in the woods. In 1941, a Swiss engineer named George de Mestral went for a walk with his dog in the mountains. When they returned home, he noticed many burrs (植物上的芒刺) stuck to his clothes and his dog’s fur. Curious, George decided to look at a burr under a microscope (显微镜). He saw something amazing. The burr was covered with tiny hooks (钩子). These hooks easily caught onto anything loop-shaped (圈圈形状的，环形的), like the threads (针织的线) in his clothes or the fur on his dog. “This is brilliant!” George thought. “What if I could create a material that works just like this?” He imagined two strips (条状物，带子): one with thousands of tiny hooks, and another with soft loops. When pressed together, the hooks would catch the loops, holding the strips together firmly. To separate them, you just pull them apart. It wasn’t easy to make this idea real. Many people laughed at him. But George didn’t give up. He worked for years to find the right materials. Finally, after many experiments, he succeeded. He named his Invention “Velcro”. At first, Velcro was mainly used by astronauts and skiers because it was so strong and easy to use. But soon, everyone discovered how useful it was. Nowadays, Velcro is everywhere! It’s on your shoes, jackets, lunch boxes, and even inside some cars and airplanes. It’s especially helpful for children learning to tie shoes, or for people who find small buttons difficult. The next time you open your backpack or fasten your shoes, remember the clever engineer and his dog. Their walk in the woods led to an invention that makes all our lives a little easier! 1. Who invented Velcro? 2. The tiny hooks on the burrs easily caught onto anything loop-shaped, didn’t they? 3. What would happen to the hooks and the loops when pressed together? 4. Who mainly used Velcro at first after Velcro was invented? 5. What do you think of George de Mestral? Why? 【答案】1. A Swiss engineer named George de Mestral/George de Mestral. 2. Yes, they did. 3. The hooks would catch the loops. (holding the strips together firmly) 4. Astronauts and skiers. 5. I think he is willing to think.
