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. 南仁东是中国 500 米口径球面射电望远镜（FAST）的首席科学家兼工程师，也是中国天文研究领域的先驱。他在这个项目上倾注了 20 多年心血，使 FAST 成为世界上最强大的射电望远镜之一，能够细致地观测宇宙。 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. 南仁东生于 1945 年，大学主修物理学，后赴海外深造。然而，当得知中国计划建造大型射电望远镜时，他毅然放弃海外优渥的生活，回到祖国。他的目标十分明确 —— 建造一台望远镜，帮助人类探索宇宙的奥秘，从遥远的星系到恒星的诞生。 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. FAST 的建造极具挑战性。选址位于贵州省一处偏远山谷，起初那里没有道路，也没有现代化设施。南仁东带领团队跋山涉水开展勘测，在过程中攻克了数十项技术难题。2016 年，FAST 终于落成。它的灵敏度约为世界第二大射电望远镜的 30 倍，能够接收数十亿光年之外的射电信号，这意味着它能 "听到" 其他望远镜从未探测到的声音。 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 after him in honour of his great work. 令人惋惜的是，南仁东于 2017 年因病去世，未能亲眼看到 FAST 取得的全部成就。然而，他的贡献被深深铭记。国际天文学界将一颗小行星以他的名字命名，以表彰他的伟大贡献。 Today, FAST continues to run well. It helps scientists discover new pulsars 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. 如今，FAST 运行良好。它帮助科学家发现新的脉冲星，研究宇宙的起源。它既是中国智慧与创新的光辉象征，也是对南仁东毕生奉献科学的永恒致敬。 【长难句分析】 1.

Their hard work shows the green development idea is deeply rooted in people's hearts. 王自中是山东慈峪村一名 79 岁的农民，他与 56 岁的儿子王涛花了 43 年时间荒山造林、守护山林。他们的辛勤付出表明，绿色发展理念已深深扎根在人们心中。 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 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. 1983 年，王自中看到村子周围的山丘干旱荒芜、了无生机。严重的水土流失让村民的生活十分艰难，于是他辞去乡村教师的工作，上山植树。他把全家搬进山里的石洞住下干活。由于不通公路，他们为树苗挖坑，还要把水挑到几英里外的山上。每桶水只能浇活几棵树，所以他们每天要往返无数趟。每个季节，他们都在山上简朴地生活一个多月。 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. 1997 年，王自中的妻子在山上因心脏病去世。他悲痛万分却依然坚强，独自一人坚持种树。全家累计种下 20 多万棵树，把光秃的荒山变成了森林。王自中守护着山林，又种下更多新树。 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. 随着年事渐高，王自中把这份责任传给了儿子王涛。王涛自小在父亲身边长大，欣然接过了这份工作。如今，他走着和父亲当年相同的山路，守护着森林，也实现着父亲的梦想。 Wang Zizhong's story is one of courage, hard work, and deep love for nature. His family's green treasure now breathes life into the land, encouraging more people to care for our earth. 王自中的故事充满了勇气、坚韧与对大自然的热爱。他们一家用绿色宝藏让这片土地焕发生机，也激励着更多人爱护我们的地球。 【长难句分析】 1.

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. Passage 2 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,16,Russia I am quite different, though. I enjoy being noticed, especially when I'm doing something I love. But I also understand why many of my classmates want to stay out of the spotlight. They worry about being judged. If you draw lots of attention, every small mistake will become known to everyone. It makes sense that some choose to keep quiet. Johanna Sens 16, Germany 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 Johanna 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. Passage 3 Many teenagers in the US know the voices of Yakko from Animaniacs and Pinky from Pinky and the Brain, two famous cartoon characters. 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. 1. What job does Rob Paulsen do? A. A cartoon maker. B. A voice actor. C. A doctor. D. A reporter. 2. The underlined word "cruel" in Paragraph 2 probably means"___". A. lucky B. awful C. common D. helpful 3. Put the following events in the correct order according to the passage. ①Paulsen worked with a US health group and returned to voice acting. ②Paulsen found a small lump on his neck but didn't care much at first. ③ Paulsen got a shocking result and went through hard medical treatment. ④Paulsen gained empathy and understood the struggles of sick people. A.②③④① B.②④③① C.③②④① D.③④②① 4. What can we infer from the passage? A. Paulsen could still enjoy spicy food after recovery. B. Paulsen's experience made him care more about sick people. C. Paulsen stopped working completely after he got the serious throat illness. D. All American teenagers know Paulsen is the man behind Yakko and Pinky. Passage 4 For centuries, people thought humans were above nature, not part of it. They believed only humans could make and use tools, and only we could communicate meaningfully. This idea remained unchallenged until Jane Goodall came along. In 1957, 23‑year‑old Goodall had taught herself much about animals and dreamed of working with them. Three years later, with anthropologist Louis Leakey's help, she went to Africa's Gombe forest. There, she did what no researcher had done: instead of numbering chimpanzees, she named them, seeing each as unique. She watched them closely for hours daily. Soon, Goodall made surprising discoveries. A male chimp named David Greybeard broke a grass stem to catch insects, and others also used tools — once thought a human‑only skill. She found chimps had rich communication and their own personalities: some kind, some tough, many both. These made people rethink humanity and drew other scientists to study apes. But Goodall didn't stop at research. Forests disappeared fast, and hunters killed or hunted apes for trade and research. She knew studying wasn't enough to protect them, so she travelled the world until late in life, sharing her story to make changes. In 1991, she started Roots & Shoots. Today, this youth programme runs in over 60 countries, with millions of students trying to improve the world for humans, animals and our shared environment. 1. What did people believe before Jane Goodall's research? A. Chimps could also use different kinds of tools. B. Humans were above nature and only humans could make tools. C. Chimpanzees had different personalities just like humans. D. Humans and animals should live together peacefully. 2. What special thing did Goodall do when she studied chimpanzees? A. She gave each chimp a name instead of just giving numbers. B. She stayed in the forest for less than one hour every day. C. She taught chimpanzees how to communicate with people. D. She built many houses for chimpanzees in Gombe forest. 3. What can we know about Roots & Shoots? A. It is a programme only for adult animal researchers. B. It helps young people make the world a better place. C. It was started before Goodall went to African forest. D. It mainly teaches people how to catch wild chimps. 4. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How chimpanzees learn to use different tools in the wild. B. The hard life of chimpanzees in Africa's Gombe forest. C. Jane Goodall's research and her efforts to protect animals. D. Different opinions on how humans should treat wild animals. Passage 5 Lin Yutang was a famous writer, translator and inventor. He shared different cultures through his stories and even made a machine for languages. He was truly a man of many talents. As a child, Lin loved reading and wanted to understand how the world worked, and that curiosity stayed with him all his life. He first studied in Shanghai, then went to Harvard University to further his studies. Later, he achieved his PhD in Germany. Lin learned about different languages and ways of thinking. This helped him become a cultural bridge between the East and the West. Lin worked hard to share Chinese culture with the world. He became well‑known for telling stories about Chinese life. In books like *My Country and My People*, he introduced Chinese ideas and daily life to Western readers. He also wrote novels like *Moment in Peking*. These stories showed how Chinese people lived and stayed strong during wartime. Lin also helped create a Chinese‑English dictionary, which made it easier for people to understand Chinese words. Besides, Lin introduced Western culture to China. In 1924, he created the Chinese word "幽默" from the English word "humour". Lin believed that humour showed a kind, open, forward‑looking and wise way of living. Lin's creativity didn't stop with writing and translation. He was also an inventor. Chinese characters made typing a real challenge. Lin spent years designing a Chinese typewriter. In 1947, his MingKwai typewriter finally came out. Teachers, publishers, and researchers all found it very useful. It also played an important role in language research. 1. What helped Lin Yutang become a cultural bridge between the East and the West? A. His success as a translator. B. His invention for languages. C. His international study experiences. D. His interest in the world around him. 2. Why did Lin Yutang write books like *My Country and My People*? A. To teach foreigners Chinese. B. To record his wartime experiences. C. To describe Western life stories. D. To share how Chinese think and live. 3. Why did Lin create the Chinese word for "humour" in 1924? A. He believed life should be serious. B. He found humour made life hopeful. C. He hoped to write more funny stories. D. He wanted to be a language master. 4. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The MingKwai typewriter. B. The Chinese‑English dictionary. C. The idea of "humour" in China. D. The research on Chinese characters. Passage 6 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. 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 of the following is the most suitable for the blank? 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 / 10 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 4 Life is beautiful 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 记叙文 约 320 本文介绍了 “中国天眼” FAST 首席科学家南仁东放弃海外优渥生活回国投身射电望远镜建设，带领团队攻克技术难题建成 FAST 的事迹，以及他去世后其贡献被国际天文学界铭记、FAST 持续发挥科研价值的故事，赞颂了科研工作者的奉献与坚守。 Passage2 阅读理解 记叙文 约 300 本文讲述了山东农民王自中为治理荒山水土流失，辞去乡村教师工作，带领家人扎根深山 43 年植树造林；妻子去世后仍独自坚守，儿子王涛成年后子承父业继续守护山林，彰显了绿色发展理念与两代人的初心传承。 实战演练 Passage1 阅读理解 说明文 约 260 本文介绍了四种适合青少年的暑期工作 —— 救生员、临时保姆、园艺工、遛狗师，分别说明了各项工作的任职要求与能力收获，指出暑期工作既能带来收入，也能培养技能、积累经验、提升自信。 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 约 340 本文通过来自中国、俄罗斯、德国的三名学生的分享，探讨了当下部分年轻人不愿被他人关注的现象，分别从学业压力、隐私保护、文化习惯等角度分析了背后的原因。 Passage3 阅读理解 记叙文 约 290 本文讲述了美国知名配音演员罗布・保尔森身患晚期喉疾，历经数月痛苦治疗后康复，不仅重返配音岗位，还因患病经历生出同理心，投身健康科普、帮助病患群体的励志故事。 Passage4 阅读理解 记叙文 约 310 本文介绍了动物学家珍・古道尔深入非洲贡贝丛林研究黑猩猩，发现黑猩猩也会使用工具、拥有独特性格，打破了 “只有人类会制造使用工具” 的传统认知，并终生致力于动物与环境保护、创办青少年环保项目的事迹。 Passage5 阅读理解 记叙文 约 320 本文介绍了著名作家、翻译家、发明家林语堂的生平成就：他学贯中西，成为东西方文化交流的桥梁，既向世界传播中国文化与生活，也将 “幽默” 概念引入中国，还发明了明快中文打字机。 Passage6 阅读理解 说明文 约 270 本文介绍了 “追剧” 现象的流行背景，通过英国媒体监管机构的研究指出过度追剧会导致睡眠不足、耽误学业工作、影响专注力等危害，强调要适度控制屏幕时间，平衡娱乐与生活。 Passage1 Nan Rendong and FAST　南仁东与中国天眼 English 中文 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 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. 南仁东是中国 500 米口径球面射电望远镜（FAST）的首席科学家兼工程师，也是中国天文研究领域的先驱。他在这个项目上倾注了 20 多年心血，使 FAST 成为世界上最强大的射电望远镜之一，能够细致地观测宇宙。 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. 南仁东生于 1945 年，大学主修物理学，后赴海外深造。然而，当得知中国计划建造大型射电望远镜时，他毅然放弃海外优渥的生活，回到祖国。他的目标十分明确 —— 建造一台望远镜，帮助人类探索宇宙的奥秘，从遥远的星系到恒星的诞生。 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. FAST 的建造极具挑战性。选址位于贵州省一处偏远山谷，起初那里没有道路，也没有现代化设施。南仁东带领团队跋山涉水开展勘测，在过程中攻克了数十项技术难题。2016 年，FAST 终于落成。它的灵敏度约为世界第二大射电望远镜的 30 倍，能够接收数十亿光年之外的射电信号，这意味着它能 "听到" 其他望远镜从未探测到的声音。 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 after him in honour of his great work. 令人惋惜的是，南仁东于 2017 年因病去世，未能亲眼看到 FAST 取得的全部成就。然而，他的贡献被深深铭记。国际天文学界将一颗小行星以他的名字命名，以表彰他的伟大贡献。 Today, FAST continues to run well. It helps scientists discover new pulsars 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. 如今，FAST 运行良好。它帮助科学家发现新的脉冲星，研究宇宙的起源。它既是中国智慧与创新的光辉象征，也是对南仁东毕生奉献科学的永恒致敬。 【长难句分析】 1.

Their hard work shows the green development idea is deeply rooted in people's hearts. 王自中是山东慈峪村一名 79 岁的农民，他与 56 岁的儿子王涛花了 43 年时间荒山造林、守护山林。他们的辛勤付出表明，绿色发展理念已深深扎根在人们心中。 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 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. 1983 年，王自中看到村子周围的山丘干旱荒芜、了无生机。严重的水土流失让村民的生活十分艰难，于是他辞去乡村教师的工作，上山植树。他把全家搬进山里的石洞住下干活。由于不通公路，他们为树苗挖坑，还要把水挑到几英里外的山上。每桶水只能浇活几棵树，所以他们每天要往返无数趟。每个季节，他们都在山上简朴地生活一个多月。 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. 1997 年，王自中的妻子在山上因心脏病去世。他悲痛万分却依然坚强，独自一人坚持种树。全家累计种下 20 多万棵树，把光秃的荒山变成了森林。王自中守护着山林，又种下更多新树。 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. 随着年事渐高，王自中把这份责任传给了儿子王涛。王涛自小在父亲身边长大，欣然接过了这份工作。如今，他走着和父亲当年相同的山路，守护着森林，也实现着父亲的梦想。 Wang Zizhong's story is one of courage, hard work, and deep love for nature.

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,16,Russia I am quite different, though. I enjoy being noticed, especially when I'm doing something I love. But I also understand why many of my classmates want to stay out of the spotlight. They worry about being judged. If you draw lots of attention, every small mistake will become known to everyone. It makes sense that some choose to keep quiet. Johanna Sens 16, Germany 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 Johanna 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.

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. 1. What job does Rob Paulsen do? A. A cartoon maker. B. A voice actor. C. A doctor. D. A reporter. 2.

They believed only humans could make and use tools, and only we could communicate meaningfully. This idea remained unchallenged until Jane Goodall came along. In 1957, 23‑year‑old Goodall had taught herself much about animals and dreamed of working with them. Three years later, with anthropologist Louis Leakey's help, she went to Africa's Gombe forest. There, she did what no researcher had done: instead of numbering chimpanzees, she named them, seeing each as unique. She watched them closely for hours daily. Soon, Goodall made surprising discoveries. A male chimp named David Greybeard broke a grass stem to catch insects, and others also used tools — once thought a human‑only skill. She found chimps had rich communication and their own personalities: some kind, some tough, many both. These made people rethink humanity and drew other scientists to study apes. But Goodall didn't stop at research. Forests disappeared fast, and hunters killed or hunted apes for trade and research. She knew studying wasn't enough to protect them, so she travelled the world until late in life, sharing her story to make changes. In 1991, she started Roots & Shoots. Today, this youth programme runs in over 60 countries, with millions of students trying to improve the world for humans, animals and our shared environment. 1. What did people believe before Jane Goodall's research? A. Chimps could also use different kinds of tools. B. Humans were above nature and only humans could make tools. C. Chimpanzees had different personalities just like humans. D. Humans and animals should live together peacefully. 2. What special thing did Goodall do when she studied chimpanzees? A. She gave each chimp a name instead of just giving numbers. B. She stayed in the forest for less than one hour every day. C. She taught chimpanzees how to communicate with people. D. She built many houses for chimpanzees in Gombe forest. 3. What can we know about Roots & Shoots? A. It is a programme only for adult animal researchers. B. It helps young people make the world a better place. C. It was started before Goodall went to African forest. D. It mainly teaches people how to catch wild chimps. 4. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How chimpanzees learn to use different tools in the wild. B. The hard life of chimpanzees in Africa's Gombe forest. C. Jane Goodall's research and her efforts to protect animals. D. Different opinions on how humans should treat wild animals. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. B 4.

He shared different cultures through his stories and even made a machine for languages. He was truly a man of many talents. As a child, Lin loved reading and wanted to understand how the world worked, and that curiosity stayed with him all his life. He first studied in Shanghai, then went to Harvard University to further his studies. Later, he achieved his PhD in Germany. Lin learned about different languages and ways of thinking. This helped him become a cultural bridge between the East and the West. Lin worked hard to share Chinese culture with the world. He became well‑known for telling stories about Chinese life. In books like *My Country and My People*, he introduced Chinese ideas and daily life to Western readers. He also wrote novels like *Moment in Peking*. These stories showed how Chinese people lived and stayed strong during wartime. Lin also helped create a Chinese‑English dictionary, which made it easier for people to understand Chinese words. Besides, Lin introduced Western culture to China. In 1924, he created the Chinese word "幽默" from the English word "humour". Lin believed that humour showed a kind, open, forward‑looking and wise way of living. Lin's creativity didn't stop with writing and translation. He was also an inventor. Chinese characters made typing a real challenge. Lin spent years designing a Chinese typewriter. In 1947, his MingKwai typewriter finally came out.

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. 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 of the following is the most suitable for the blank? 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.
