专题09 阅读回答问题含续写（中考新题型，Units 1-3） 一、U1单元话题预测 Passage 1 After school, Vishal Singh faces a difficult choice. He knows he should really get on with his homework, but the Internet is just so tempting (诱人的). All too often, the 17-year-old student from Woodside High School in California favors Facebook, YouTube and making digital videos. He often chooses time on his computer over his studies. “Students have always faced distractions and time-wasters,” writes Matt Richtel in the New York Times. He says that computers and cell phones, and the stimulation (刺激) they offer, are a real challenge for young people, who need to focus on learning. Students say that their parents, worried about the distractions, try to police computer time. But monitoring the use of cell phones is difficult. Teachers at Woodside commonly blame technology for students’ struggles to concentrate, but they are divided over whether computers and the Internet are the solution. In Richtel’s article, English teacher Marcia Blondel shares her frustration with her students and her inability to get them to read 30 pages of a book for homework. To address this shortcoming, she takes part in a read-aloud of the book in class. “You can’t become a good writer by watching YouTube, texting and e-mailing a bunch of abbreviations.” she says. But even as some parents and educators express their worries over students’ digital diets, they are making efforts to use technology in the classroom, seeing it as a way to engage these 21st-century students. The principal of Woodside High School, David Reilly, asked teachers to build websites to communicate with students, spent a large amount of money setting up a multimedia center and introduced new courses like the digital audio recording class. He also pushed first period back an hour, to 9 a.m., because students were showing up bleary-eyed (睡眼惺忪的), at least in part because they were up late on their computers. “I am trying to take back their attention from their cell phones and video games,” he says. “To a degree, I’m using technology to do it.” Some US schools are looking to use the Internet to encourage students to study. 1．Where does Vishal Singh study? 2．Vishal Singh doesn’t spend more time on his studies than on his computer, does he? 3．Why do parents try to police computer time of their kids? 4．What does the English teacher Marcia Blondel share in Richtel’s article? 5．According to the passage, how many measures (措施) did the principal of Woodside High School take to stop students from focusing too much on computers and video games? 6．How do you like the measures taken by the principal? Why do you think so? 【答案】1．At Woodside High School in California. 2．No, he doesn’t. 3．Because they are worried about the distractions. 4．She shares her frustration with her students and her inability to get them to read 30 pages of a book for homework. 5．4/Four. 6．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：I think they are effective. Because they can make the relationship between students and teachers better, and make students feel they are understood. 【导语】本文以美国加州Woodside高中学生Vishal Singh受网络干扰、耽误学业的案例为切入点，探讨数字设备 (电脑、手机) 对学生学习专注力的影响；同时介绍了家长、教师的担忧，以及校方 (校长) 通过技术手段、课程调整等方式平衡科技使用与学生学习的措施。 1．根据第一段“All too often, the 17-year-old student from Woodside High School in California favors Facebook”可知，Vishal Singh在加利福尼亚州Woodside高中学习。故填At Woodside High School in California. 2．根据第二段“He often chooses time on his computer over his studies.”可知，他花在电脑上的时间多于学习时间。故填No, he doesn’t. 3．根据第四段“Students say that their parents, worried about the distractions, try to police computer time.”可知，学生们的父母因为担心这些干扰，所以试图监管用电脑的时间。故填Because they are worried about the distractions. 4．根据第六段“English teacher Marcia Blondel shares her frustration with her students and her inability to get them to read 30 pages of a book for homework.”可知，Marcia Blondel分享了她对学生的失望以及她无法让他们为家庭作业阅读30页书的情况。故填She shares her frustration with her students and her inability to get them to read 30 pages of a book for homework. 5．根据第九段“asked teachers to build websites to communicate with students, spent a large amount of money setting up a multimedia center and introduced new courses like the digital audio recording class. He also pushed first period back an hour, to 9 a.m.”可知，共计四项措施。故填4/Four. 6．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：I think they are effective. Because they can make the relationship between students and teachers better, and make students feel they are understood. Passage 2 阅读并回答问题。 A new trend called “Color Walk” is spreading among Chinese teenagers — not as a sport, but as an activity to reduce daily stress. The rule is easy: pick a color, take a walk, and photograph anything that matches it. This gently takes your mind off worries. A teacher asked her students to share experiences. The following are three replies showing how they find joy in simple colors. Li Hua I used to think my walk to school was boring and grey. Last week, I picked “Green” as my theme for a color walk. Suddenly, fresh moss (苔藓) caught my eyes, spreading over old stone walls. Bright leaves waved in the wind, smiling at me. The path felt calm and alive. A green surprise waited in every corner I ever ignored. I slowed down, breathing the fresh air, and the morning light seemed softer. Now I walk more slowly, enjoying the beauty of colors along the way. Zheng Wei As a Grade 8 student, I often feel stressed about exams. One afternoon, I went out to look for the color “Orange.” The moment I saw how sunlight turned the library windows gold at 4 p.m., I felt so calm and peaceful. I just stood there, focusing on nothing but the sunset. After a while, my breathing grew deeper and calmer. I noticed my shoulders relaxing for the first time that day. It was like that simple orange glow just washed the worries right out of my mind. Chen Xi I joined a “Color Walk” group online. We all picked “Red” and shared our photos later. To my surprise, everyone found red in such different ways—a bright red lantern, a little girl’s dress, a blooming flower. Although I walked alone, seeing their photos made me feel connected and warm. Later, we started to talk about our lives and became close friends. Because of this shared love for life, the world feels smaller and kinder. Every time I see red now, I think of my friends and smile. Dear students, as you step into the busy life of Grade 9, remember that true beauty lies in the courage to find colors in your daily life. Take a “Color Walk” to notice the green trees, the blue sky, and the warm smiles around you. Never stop looking for the beauty in the world, and these colors will surely light up your path and make you shine even brighter in the coming year. 1．Did Li Hua think her walk to school was boring before? 2．How did Zheng Wei feel when he saw the sunlight at 4 p.m.? 3．According to the three replies, how do the students benefit from “Color Walk”? 4．Which color would you like to choose if you want to have a “Color Walk”? Explain your reasons. (about 30 words) 【答案】 【答案】1．Yes, she did. 2．He felt so calm and peaceful. 3．They can enjoy the beauty of colors, reduce stress and make friends. 4．I would choose blue. Because blue is the color of the sky and the sea. Looking at blue things makes me feel relaxed and peaceful when I am stressed. (答案不唯一，合理即可) 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国青少年中流行的一种名为“Color Walk”的新趋势，通过三位学生的分享，展示了这种活动如何帮助他们减轻压力、发现生活中的美并与他人建立联系。 1．根据表格中Li Hua的回复“I used to think my walk to school was boring and grey.”可知，李华以前确实认为她去学校的路很无聊，因此答案是肯定的。 2．根据表格中Zheng Wei的回复“The moment I saw how sunlight turned the library windows gold at 4 p.m., I felt so calm and peaceful.”可知，郑伟看到下午4点的阳光时感到平静和安宁。答案是原文直接信息，直接提取即可。 3．根据表格中Li Hua的回复“Now I walk more slowly, enjoying the beauty of colors along the way.”、Zheng Wei的回复“It was like that simple orange glow just washed the worries right out of my mind.”以及Chen Xi的回复“Later, we started to talk about our lives and became close friends.”可知，学生们通过“Color Walk”可以享受色彩之美、减轻压力并结交朋友。 4．本题为开放性问题，要求选择一种颜色并解释原因，字数在30词左右。可以结合颜色的象征意义和个人感受来回答，言之有理即可。 二、U2单元话题预测 Passage 1 FAST is the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope.

Only a small number of students pay attention to rural cultural jobs which keep our local folk culture alive. In fact, any job that protects village folk culture and helps countryside develop is worthwhile, especially jobs carrying traditional craftsmanship spirit. A village folk architect is one typical valuable rural cultural job. Its main daily work is repairing broken ancient village houses and redesigning old folk buildings without destroying their original cultural features. Workers need two core qualities: professional wooden construction skills and rich local folk culture knowledge. Sometimes repairing one ancient wooden beam takes three full workdays, and workers cannot make any careless mistakes. Another irreplaceable rural job is rural science journalist. These workers visit farms and villages regularly, record traditional eco-farming skills and write easy articles for local farmers. Their written reports are totally different from general online agriculture videos. Online videos offer universal farming knowledge, while journalists’ articles are specially written to fit local village soil and climate conditions. Many young people refuse to take rural cultural jobs for two main reasons. First, rural jobs usually have lower salaries than city office positions. Second, the skill training cycle is long and boring. New learners need to spend 6 to 10 years learning basic folk craft skills before they can work independently in villages. Even with these difficulties, cultural experts encourage teenagers to take rural cultural jobs. These jobs protect disappearing village folk heritage. If no young people take over these jobs, thousands of traditional rural skills will vanish in the next twenty years. Local government provides free long-term folk craft training classes and village internship chances to attract young learners. If you want to choose a truly valuable career, do not only focus on salary and city living conditions. Ask yourself two simple questions: Can this job protect our local folk culture? Do I have real love for rural life and culture? If both answers are yes, this job deserves your lifelong efforts. Answer the following questions according to the passage. 1．What kinds of jobs are worthwhile according to the passage? 2．What two core qualities do village folk architects need? 3．What is the difference between journalists’ farming articles and online farming videos? 4．How many years do learners need to master basic rural craft skills to work on their own? 5．What help does local government offer to attract young rural craft learners? 6．Write one sentence about your idea of valuable rural jobs (no more than 25 words). 【答案】1．Jobs protecting village folk culture and helping countryside development. 2．Professional wooden construction skills and rich local folk culture knowledge. 3．Online videos give general knowledge while articles suit local village conditions. 4．They need 6 to 10 years to learn basic rural craft skills. 5．It provides free folk craft training and village internship chances for young learners. 6．Example: Rural cultural jobs protect folk heritage and bring great value to villages. 【导语】本文主要介绍了值得尊重的乡村文化工作，列举了乡村民俗建筑师和乡村科学记者两种典型职业，分析了年轻人不愿从事的原因及政府的鼓励措施，并提出了关于择业价值的建议。 1．根据文章第1段“In fact, any job that protects village folk culture and helps countryside develop is worthwhile”可知，值得的工作是保护乡村文化并助其发展的工作。 2．根据文章第2段“Workers need two core qualities: professional wooden construction skills and rich local folk culture knowledge”可知，建筑师需要这两项技能。 3．根据文章第3段“Online videos offer universal farming knowledge, while journalists’ articles are specially written to fit local village soil and climate conditions”可知，区别在于通用性与当地适应性。 4．根据文章第4段“New learners need to spend 6 to 10 years learning basic folk craft skills before they can work independently in villages”可知，掌握技能需要 6 到 10 年。 5．根据文章第5段“Local government provides free long-term folk craft training classes and village internship chances to attract young learners”可知，政府提供免费培训和实习机会。 6．根据文章第6段“If both answers are yes, this job deserves your lifelong efforts”及全文主旨可知，有价值的工作应保护文化且需热爱。 三、U3单元话题预测 Passage 1 阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。 Recently, many people who visited Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province have discovered a new and modern place—the XR immersive (沉浸式) experience center. It makes the old world-heritage site (世界遗产地) more interesting with a kind of XR glasses. Wutai Mountain is in Xinzhou City. In 2009, it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Passage 2 Answer the questions. You never know what to expect on your trip. As the writer waited for her plane to Dakar, a woman asked if she could use her mobile phone. While the writer was hesitating, a similarly dressed traveller presented her phone to the woman without a second thought. This was the writer’s introduction to Teranga, the Senegalese way of life. During the summer, the writer spent time volunteering in Dakar. Teranga helped her learn about and enjoy Senegalese culture. She accepted an invitation to stay with a local family, and people were willing to share whatever they had with strangers. Teranga is especially visible in Senegal’s food culture. Senegalese families cook in a manner that expects the arrival of guests. To prepare to greet even unplanned visitors with Teranga, there’s often an extra plate ready. And for guests who do show up at mealtime, they will always get the best part of the dish. The local people truly believe that the more you give, the more you receive.

Passage 2 Peer Counselors: Warm Helpers for Teenagers Now more and more middle schools set up peer counseling groups for Grade 9 students. Peer counselors are ordinary students who receive special training to listen to classmates’ troubles and offer useful advice. Unlike teachers, they stand at the same age stage, so they can fully understand the pressure and confusion that teenagers face every day. The training for peer counselors lasts for four weeks. Teachers teach them how to listen patiently, how to ask proper guiding questions, and how to keep all classmates’ personal secrets strictly. The most important rule for every counselor is never to spread others’ private stories to any third person. If they break this rule, they will lose the qualification to work in the group. Students can visit peer counselors during noon break or after school. The problems they talk about cover different sides of teenage life: conflicts with parents, difficulties in making friends, stress from schoolwork, and worries about self-image. Peer counselors cannot solve all big problems, but they can create a safe space for troubled students to pour out their feelings. Many students say after talking, their heavy hearts become much lighter. A peer counselor called Tom shared his working experience. Last month, a classmate came to him, upset because his parents disagreed with his dream of learning photography. Tom did not give direct advice at once. Instead, he asked the boy to list all the advantages of photography and how he planned to balance study and hobbies. Later, the boy wrote a detailed plan and had a peaceful talk with his parents, and they finally reached an agreement. Experts say peer counseling brings two-way benefits. For students with troubles, they get emotional comfort and practical suggestions. For counselors themselves, they learn to care for others, improve communication skills and become more responsible people. It is a valuable growing experience for both sides. However, peer counselors have clear limits. If students meet serious problems such as long-term depression or family conflicts that cannot be solved, counselors must guide them to turn to professional school teachers or psychological experts for further help. Answer the following questions according to the passage. Task 1: 1．Who are peer counselors in schools? 2．How long does the training for peer counselors last? 3．What is the most important rule for peer counselors? 4．Why did Tom’s classmate feel upset when he went to Tom? 5．What two kinds of benefits does peer counseling bring? Task 2: 6．What will you do if you are the counselor when students face serious mental troubles? (No more than 30 words) 【答案】1．They are ordinary students with special training to listen to classmates’ troubles and give advice. 2．It lasts for four weeks. 3．They must never spread others’ private stories to any third person. 4．Because his parents disagreed with his dream of learning photography. 5．Troubled students get comfort and advice; counselors learn to care for others and improve themselves. 6．I will guide these students to ask professional institutions or psychologists for help. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中学同伴辅导员的概念、培训内容、重要规则、具体案例、双向益处以及工作局限。 1．首段直接定义同伴辅导员为“ordinary students who receive special training to listen to classmates’ troubles and offer useful advice”，因此可直接提取其身份信息。 2．第二段明确说明培训时长：“The training for peer counselors lasts for four weeks.”，此为原文中的具体时间信息，直接引用。 3．第二段指出最重要规则：“The most important rule for every counselor is never to spread others’ private stories to any third person.”，直接引用原文。 4．第四段通过具体案例说明同学困扰的原因：“upset because his parents disagreed with his dream of learning photography.”，直接提取事实。 5．第五段总结双向益处：对求助学生，“they get emotional comfort and practical suggestions”；对辅导员自身，“they learn to care for others, improve communication skills and become more responsible people”。答案将两者整合为双方均获得成长与支持。 6．本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一。可结合第六段内容“counselors must guide them to turn to professional school teachers or psychological experts for further help”说明面对严重问题时的处理方式，也可根据个人理解合理作答。 五、U2单元话题预测 Passage 1 Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) In the city center, firefighters quickly get ready when they hear the alarm. Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death. Who would do a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. One month ago, he signed up for the job. He used to sit in an office of a software company, but now he is trained to break into rooms full of smoke and heat and come up with a rescue strategy. “I wanted a job where I could be active, work with my hands, learn new practical skills, and face different challenges every day,” That’s quite an understatement (保守说法) to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while fighting against a fire. But Telfer says that flames (火焰) and nerves can be controlled in the same way: through continuous physical and mental training. Telfer was a runner in college, but now he trains his lungs for dangerous situations instead of races. He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks. He also needs to carry unconscious people to safety. No matter what he’s doing, he has to control his breathing. Panic (恐慌) will only waste his limited air supply. His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too. When they are not dealing with emergencies, they study many subjects like emergency medicine, structural design, and chemical reactions. They practice quickly assessing (评估) the changing conditions of a fire. Shifting from a software expert to a first responder was a big change for Telfer. But he says, “I have never once felt that this isn’t the right job for me.” Even though danger might be waiting every day, his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the middle of a fierce fire. 1．Firefighters have to get ready within sixty seconds after hearing the alarm, don’t they? 2．When did Sam Telfer become a firefighter? 3．Where did Telfer work before becoming a firefighter? 4．What physical training does a firefighter take? Give an example. 5．How can a firefighter survive a big fire? 6．Does Sam Telfer love the job as a firefighter?

When students talk about dream jobs, most of them mention famous or high-income jobs like doctors, designers or photographers. Few students think about ordinary jobs that carry cultural value. However, every job that brings good influence to society is worthwhile, especially jobs with traditional craftsmanship. Book restoration is one such worthwhile job. Its main duty is repairing ancient paper works damaged by damp, insects or fire. Workers need two basic qualities: professional repair skills and endless patience. Sometimes repairing one page takes a whole workday, and workers cannot make any mistakes. Another valuable job is being a traditional wood craftsman. These workers repair old wooden furniture and create new wooden artworks. They learn skills from elder masters and pass the skills down to younger people. Their work keeps thousands of old wooden cultural treasures alive. Unlike factory machines that make the same products quickly, craftsmen create unique works with hand skills. Every piece of wooden art has its own special shape and story. Many young people refuse to take these jobs for two reasons. First, traditional craft jobs usually bring lower pay than office jobs. Second, the training period is long and boring. You need to spend 5 to 10 years learning basic skills before you can work independently. Even so, more cultural workers are calling on teenagers to take up traditional craft jobs. These jobs protect our national culture. If no young people learn these skills, many old crafts will disappear forever. The government also offers free training courses for traditional handcraft skills to encourage more young learners. If you want to choose a worthwhile job, do not only think about money. Ask yourself two questions: Can this job bring value to society? Do I have real passion for this work? If both answers are yes, this job is worth your time and effort. Answer the following questions according to the passage. 1．What kind of jobs are worthwhile according to the passage? 2．What are the two basic qualities for book restorers? 3．What is the difference between hand-made wooden works and machine-made ones? 4．How long do people need to learn basic wood craft skills to work alone? 5．What does the government do to encourage young people to learn traditional crafts? 6．Please write one sentence to explain your idea of a worthwhile job (No More Than 25 Words). 【答案】1．Every job that brings good influence to society, especially jobs with traditional craftsmanship. 2．Professional repair skills and endless patience. 3．Hand-made wooden works are unique while machine-made ones are the same. 4．They need to spend 5 to 10 years learning basic skills. 5．It offers free training courses for traditional handcraft skills. 6．(Example) A worthwhile job brings social value and fills me with passion. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了什么样的工作是有价值的，重点介绍了传统工艺工作的社会价值、所需品质、面临的挑战以及政府的鼓励措施，并给出了选择工作的建议。 1．根据第1段“every job that brings good influence to society is worthwhile, especially jobs with traditional craftsmanship”可知，值得做的工作是那些给社会带来良好影响的工作，尤其是传统工艺类工作。 2．根据第2段“Workers need two basic qualities: professional repair skills and endless patience.”可知，古籍修复工作者需要的两个基本品质是专业技能和耐心。 3．根据第3段“Unlike factory machines that make the same products quickly, craftsmen create unique works with hand skills.”可知，手工制品是独特的，而机器制品是相同的。 4．根据第4段“You need to spend 5 to 10 years learning basic skills before you can work independently.”可知，需要5到10年。 5．根据第5段“The government also offers free training courses for traditional handcraft skills to encourage more young learners.”可知，政府通过提供免费培训课程来鼓励年轻人。 6．本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一，可结合文中第6段“Can this job bring value to society? Do I have real passion for this work”，有价值的工作应兼具社会价值和个人热情，而非仅看金钱，给出答案。 六、U3单元话题预测 Passage 1 Learn from Ancient Travellers’ Spirits Three world-famous ancient travellers left valuable travel works for later generations: Xu Xiake from China, Marco Polo from Venice and Ibn Battūtah from Morocco. Their travel journals are not only records of scenery, but also precious cultural treasures teaching modern teenagers how to explore the world with patience and careful observation. Xu Xiake travelled widely all over China for decades. He walked through mountains, rivers and villages, and wrote detailed notes about geography, plants and local customs every single day. No matter what bad weather or difficult roads, he never stopped recording what he saw. His work The Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake helps modern people study ancient Chinese geography and folk culture. Unlike many travellers in his time who only visited famous scenic spots, Xu Xiake preferred small unknown villages to find unique local stories. Marco Polo travelled to China during Kublai Khan’s rule and served the emperor for many years. After he returned to Venice, he was caught in a war and put into prison. With a writer’s help, he finished The Travels of Marco Polo. This book introduced China’s rich culture and great inventions to European readers, building a cultural bridge between the East and the West. His stories encouraged lots of Western people to travel to Asia to learn new culture. Ibn Battūtah spent nearly thirty years travelling around forty countries in Africa, Asia and Europe. After he finished all his journeys, he told all his travel experiences to a scholar, who wrote them down into the book Rihlah. His writing focuses on different community cultures and local people’s friendly spirits, especially the warm hospitality of strangers in every country he visited. History teachers ask students to learn from these three travellers for two main reasons. First, they never gave up travelling and recording even when they met hard difficulties. Second, they respected every local culture they met and were willing to communicate with ordinary villagers instead of only visiting famous buildings. Teachers advise students to keep travel journals and design travel brochures after trips, just like these ancient travellers did hundreds of years ago. These activities help teenagers observe life carefully and form a respectful attitude towards different cultures. 1．How many famous ancient travellers are mentioned in the passage? 2．What book did Xu Xiake’s travel notes become later? 3．Why was Marco Polo put into prison after returning to Venice? 4．What does Ibn Battūtah’s book mainly talk about? 5．What two spirits can students learn from ancient travellers according to teachers? 6．Give two practical ways for students to learn from ancient travellers. (No more than 30 words) 【答案】1．Three. 2．The Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake. 3．Because he was caught in a war. 4．Different community cultures and local people’s hospitality. 5．Never give up recording and respect different local cultures. 6．Keep travel journals; design brochures after each trip. (回答合理即可) 【导语】本文介绍徐霞客、马可·波罗、伊本·白图泰三位古代旅行家及其游记著作，点明学生可学习的两种可贵精神与两种实践学习方法。 1．根据原文第一段“Three world-famous ancient travellers left valuable travel works for later generations: Xu Xiake from China, Marco Polo from Venice and Ibn Battūṭah from Morocco.”，可知文中一共提到三位著名古代旅行家。 2．根据原文第二段“His work The Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake helps modern people study ancient Chinese geography and folk culture.”，可知徐霞客的游历笔记后来汇成了《徐霞客游记》。 3．根据原文第三段“After he returned to Venice, he was caught in a war and put into prison.”， 可知马可·波罗回到威尼斯后因卷入一场战争被关进监狱。 4．根据原文第四段“His writing focuses on different community cultures and local people’s friendly spirits, especially the warm hospitality of strangers in every country he visited.”， 可知伊本·白图泰的书主要讲述不同地域社群文化和当地人热情好客的风貌。 5．根据原文第五段“First, they never gave up travelling and recording even when they met hard difficulties. Second, they respected every local culture they met and were willing to communicate with ordinary villagers”， 可知学生能学到不惧困难坚持记录、尊重各地本土文化这两种精神。 6．根据原文第五段“Teachers advise students to keep travel journals and design travel brochures after trips”， 可知学生可以坚持写旅行日记、旅行后设计旅行手册向古代旅行家学习，回答合理即可。 Passage 2 Travel Brochure: Ancient Water Town Xixi If you want to enjoy slow traditional travel within one hour from the city centre, Xixi Ancient Water Town is your perfect choice. This town has over one thousand years of history and keeps original water town style without too many modern buildings. Unlike noisy commercial tourist spots, Xixi keeps its quiet slow lifestyle of local villagers. The whole town is crossed by clear water channels. Small wooden boats carry visitors across rivers, and old stone bridges connect different streets. Local villagers still live in black-tile wooden houses beside water. Every early morning, you can see elders wash vegetables by the river and small shops sell homemade rice cakes. No loud loudspeakers or crowded street performances break the peaceful atmosphere here. Xixi is famous for two special local treasures: bamboo handcrafts and river food. Local craft masters make bamboo baskets, bamboo fans and small bamboo toys with thin bamboo strips. Visitors can watch the whole making process and even try simple weaving skills under masters’ guidance. For food lovers, the river shrimp soup and sweet rice cakes are must-taste dishes. All food uses fresh natural materials from local rivers and farmlands. Another special feature of Xixi is “blank space travel”. Most tourist towns fill every street with shops and entertainment projects, but Xixi leaves large quiet natural areas with wild grass and old trees. Tourists can walk along empty riverside paths, sit on stone benches and enjoy quiet time alone. Travel writers say this empty quiet space gives visitors enough room to relax and imagine, which is the biggest charm of Xixi. Many students choose Xixi for school autumn trips every year. Teachers think this trip helps teenagers stay away from busy city life and learn traditional local culture. Visitors cannot buy expensive luxury goods here, but they can get valuable spiritual peace that modern shopping malls cannot offer.

He never raised his hand in class, never spoke at lunch tables, and never joined any school activities. His classmates had stopped noticing him altogether; he was simply the boy who sat in the back corner of every room, silent and invisible. But Sam had a secret that nobody knew: he wrote beautiful poetry, filling notebook after notebook with words that nobody else would ever read. The poetry came from a dark place. Sam’s father had passed away suddenly the previous year, and Sam had never found the right words to express his grief aloud. He had tried talking to the school counsellor, but the words got stuck in his throat like stones. So he wrote instead. Poetry became his voice, his comfort, and his only true friend in a world that seemed to have forgotten him. One afternoon, his English teacher, Mrs. Bennett, discovered one of Sam’s notebooks when he accidentally left it in the classroom after school. She read a poem about rain that reminded him of his father, and she was deeply moved. The next day, she quietly asked Sam to read one of his poems at the school’s annual open-mic night. Sam felt his face burn with embarrassment and fear. He almost refused, but something in Mrs. Bennett’s kind eyes convinced him to at least consider it. For weeks, Sam prepared. He stood in front of his bedroom mirror, reciting his poem again and again. His hands trembled, his voice cracked, and his heart pounded every single time. But he kept trying. On the night of the open-mic, Sam watched nervously as other students performed. When his name was called, he walked to the stage as if in a dream. The spotlight blinded him, and for a moment he could not speak. Then he thought of his father, closed his eyes, and began. The words poured out of him like water from a broken dam. He spoke of rain, of grief, of the love that outlasts death. The room was completely silent. When he finished, there was a long moment of stillness, and then the audience rose to their feet in applause. Some students were crying. Others were simply speechless. Task 1: Answer the following questions. 1．What was Sam’s secret that nobody in his school knew? 2．Why did Sam write poetry instead of talking to the school counsellor? 3．How did Mrs. Bennett discover Sam’s poetry? 4．How did the audience react to Sam’s performance at the open-mic night? 5．Task 2: 请根据上文情节，续写约35词，描述Sam第二天在学校的变化和感受。 【答案】1．He wrote beautiful poetry. 2．He couldn’t find the right words to speak aloud. 3．She found his notebook in the classroom. 4．They gave him a standing ovation / stood up and applauded. 5．The next day, students smiled and greeted Sam.

He knows he should really get on with his homework, but the Internet is just so tempting (诱人的). All too often, the 17-year-old student from Woodside High School in California favors Facebook, YouTube and making digital videos. He often chooses time on his computer over his studies. “Students have always faced distractions and time-wasters,” writes Matt Richtel in the New York Times. He says that computers and cell phones, and the stimulation (刺激) they offer, are a real challenge for young people, who need to focus on learning. Students say that their parents, worried about the distractions, try to police computer time. But monitoring the use of cell phones is difficult. Teachers at Woodside commonly blame technology for students’ struggles to concentrate, but they are divided over whether computers and the Internet are the solution. In Richtel’s article, English teacher Marcia Blondel shares her frustration with her students and her inability to get them to read 30 pages of a book for homework. To address this shortcoming, she takes part in a read-aloud of the book in class. “You can’t become a good writer by watching YouTube, texting and e-mailing a bunch of abbreviations.” she says. But even as some parents and educators express their worries over students’ digital diets, they are making efforts to use technology in the classroom, seeing it as a way to engage these 21st-century students. The principal of Woodside High School, David Reilly, asked teachers to build websites to communicate with students, spent a large amount of money setting up a multimedia center and introduced new courses like the digital audio recording class. He also pushed first period back an hour, to 9 a.m., because students were showing up bleary-eyed (睡眼惺忪的), at least in part because they were up late on their computers. “I am trying to take back their attention from their cell phones and video games,” he says. “To a degree, I’m using technology to do it.” Some US schools are looking to use the Internet to encourage students to study. 1．Where does Vishal Singh study? 2．Vishal Singh doesn’t spend more time on his studies than on his computer, does he? 3．Why do parents try to police computer time of their kids? 4．What does the English teacher Marcia Blondel share in Richtel’s article? 5．According to the passage, how many measures (措施) did the principal of Woodside High School take to stop students from focusing too much on computers and video games? 6．How do you like the measures taken by the principal? Why do you think so? Passage 2 阅读并回答问题。 A new trend called “Color Walk” is spreading among Chinese teenagers — not as a sport, but as an activity to reduce daily stress. The rule is easy: pick a color, take a walk, and photograph anything that matches it. This gently takes your mind off worries. A teacher asked her students to share experiences. The following are three replies showing how they find joy in simple colors. Li Hua I used to think my walk to school was boring and grey. Last week, I picked “Green” as my theme for a color walk. Suddenly, fresh moss (苔藓) caught my eyes, spreading over old stone walls. Bright leaves waved in the wind, smiling at me. The path felt calm and alive. A green surprise waited in every corner I ever ignored. I slowed down, breathing the fresh air, and the morning light seemed softer. Now I walk more slowly, enjoying the beauty of colors along the way. Zheng Wei As a Grade 8 student, I often feel stressed about exams. One afternoon, I went out to look for the color “Orange.” The moment I saw how sunlight turned the library windows gold at 4 p.m., I felt so calm and peaceful. I just stood there, focusing on nothing but the sunset. After a while, my breathing grew deeper and calmer. I noticed my shoulders relaxing for the first time that day. It was like that simple orange glow just washed the worries right out of my mind. Chen Xi I joined a “Color Walk” group online. We all picked “Red” and shared our photos later. To my surprise, everyone found red in such different ways—a bright red lantern, a little girl’s dress, a blooming flower. Although I walked alone, seeing their photos made me feel connected and warm. Later, we started to talk about our lives and became close friends. Because of this shared love for life, the world feels smaller and kinder. Every time I see red now, I think of my friends and smile. Dear students, as you step into the busy life of Grade 9, remember that true beauty lies in the courage to find colors in your daily life. Take a “Color Walk” to notice the green trees, the blue sky, and the warm smiles around you. Never stop looking for the beauty in the world, and these colors will surely light up your path and make you shine even brighter in the coming year. 1．Did Li Hua think her walk to school was boring before? 2．How did Zheng Wei feel when he saw the sunlight at 4 p.m.? 3．According to the three replies, how do the students benefit from “Color Walk”? 4．Which color would you like to choose if you want to have a “Color Walk”? Explain your reasons. (about 30 words) 二、U2单元话题预测 Passage 1 FAST is the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope. It is the brainchild of chief scientist Nan Rendong.

Passage 2 Rural Cultural Jobs That Are Worth Our Respect When teenagers discuss ideal jobs, most of them talk about city-based jobs such as designers, doctors or online bloggers. Only a small number of students pay attention to rural cultural jobs which keep our local folk culture alive. In fact, any job that protects village folk culture and helps countryside develop is worthwhile, especially jobs carrying traditional craftsmanship spirit. A village folk architect is one typical valuable rural cultural job. Its main daily work is repairing broken ancient village houses and redesigning old folk buildings without destroying their original cultural features. Workers need two core qualities: professional wooden construction skills and rich local folk culture knowledge. Sometimes repairing one ancient wooden beam takes three full workdays, and workers cannot make any careless mistakes. Another irreplaceable rural job is rural science journalist. These workers visit farms and villages regularly, record traditional eco-farming skills and write easy articles for local farmers. Their written reports are totally different from general online agriculture videos. Online videos offer universal farming knowledge, while journalists’ articles are specially written to fit local village soil and climate conditions. Many young people refuse to take rural cultural jobs for two main reasons. First, rural jobs usually have lower salaries than city office positions. Second, the skill training cycle is long and boring. New learners need to spend 6 to 10 years learning basic folk craft skills before they can work independently in villages. Even with these difficulties, cultural experts encourage teenagers to take rural cultural jobs. These jobs protect disappearing village folk heritage. If no young people take over these jobs, thousands of traditional rural skills will vanish in the next twenty years. Local government provides free long-term folk craft training classes and village internship chances to attract young learners. If you want to choose a truly valuable career, do not only focus on salary and city living conditions. Ask yourself two simple questions: Can this job protect our local folk culture? Do I have real love for rural life and culture? If both answers are yes, this job deserves your lifelong efforts. Answer the following questions according to the passage. 1．What kinds of jobs are worthwhile according to the passage? 2．What two core qualities do village folk architects need? 3．What is the difference between journalists’ farming articles and online farming videos? 4．How many years do learners need to master basic rural craft skills to work on their own? 5．What help does local government offer to attract young rural craft learners? 6．Write one sentence about your idea of valuable rural jobs (no more than 25 words). 三、U3单元话题预测 Passage 1 阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。 Recently, many people who visited Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province have discovered a new and modern place—the XR immersive (沉浸式) experience center. It makes the old world-heritage site (世界遗产地) more interesting with a kind of XR glasses. Wutai Mountain is in Xinzhou City. In 2009, it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This new XR center opened in April, 2026. Liu Yong is the head of the XR experience center. He said the team spent seven months taking photos of the scenic spots (景点) around the mountain. They used these photos to make real and wonderful virtual scenes (虚拟场景). The center has 100 pairs of XR glasses. These glasses can tell exactly where people are, even to the centimeter. Every time, 10 to 15 people can have the experience together, and it lasts for 24 minutes. Xiao Qiong is a 54-year-old visitor from Guangdong. She was very surprised to find this XR project. “In real life, we can’t fly,” she said.” But when we wear these glasses, we can feel like flying high in the sky.” Besides this, a smart guide app about Wutai Mountain was also developed, and people can look up different information about Wutai Mountain anytime and it makes the travel more convenient. With the help of modern technology, Wutai Mountain is shining brightly in a new way. 1．Why did Liu’s team spend a long time taking photos of the scenic spots around the mountain? 2．How did Xiao Qiong feel about the XR project? 3．What can people use the smart guide app about Wutai Mountain to do? 4．Give an example of how modern technology helps make our life more convenient. (Different from the passage and write more than 30 words) Passage 2 Answer the questions. You never know what to expect on your trip. As the writer waited for her plane to Dakar, a woman asked if she could use her mobile phone. While the writer was hesitating, a similarly dressed traveller presented her phone to the woman without a second thought. This was the writer’s introduction to Teranga, the Senegalese way of life. During the summer, the writer spent time volunteering in Dakar. Teranga helped her learn about and enjoy Senegalese culture. She accepted an invitation to stay with a local family, and people were willing to share whatever they had with strangers. Teranga is especially visible in Senegal’s food culture. Senegalese families cook in a manner that expects the arrival of guests. To prepare to greet even unplanned visitors with Teranga, there’s often an extra plate ready. And for guests who do show up at mealtime, they will always get the best part of the dish. The local people truly believe that the more you give, the more you receive. Teranga builds a culture where there is no “other” and keeps neighbourhood life harmonious. It’s no wonder visitors to the country can’t wait to go back. Task 1: Answer the questions. 1．Where was the writer’s plane going? (不超过6词) 2．What happened while the writer was hesitating? (不超过12词) 3．How did the writer experience Teranga during the summer? (不超过10词) 4．What is Teranga especially visible in? (不超过4词) 5．Why is there often an extra plate ready? (不超过8词) 6．What do the local people believe? (不超过8词) Task 2: 7．Teranga means the Senegalese way of life. What can we learn from the writer’s travel experience? Explain in about 30 words. 四、U1单元话题预测 Passage 1 Professor Yang, an experienced counsellor, gave a talk at New Star Middle School about the changes that teenagers experience. He pointed out that teenagers go through physical, emotional and behavioural changes. For example, they may grow rapidly and get pimples on their faces. Emotionally, they may become easily upset or feel stressed about schoolwork. Some teenagers even do dangerous things to show off to others because of peer pressure. Professor Yang gave some suggestions. First, don’t be bothered by your pimples — they are a normal part of teenage life. Second, communicate more with your family and friends to ease the trouble. Third, do sports to calm strong emotions. Most importantly, never do anything that feels wrong just because others ask you to. Task 1: Answer the questions. 1．Who gave the talk at New Star Middle School? (不超过4词) 2．What physical change may happen to teenagers? (不超过8词) 3．Why do some teenagers do dangerous things? (不超过10词) 4．What does Professor Yang say about pimples? (不超过8词) 5．How can teenagers ease the trouble? (不超过8词) 6．What should you never do? (不超过12词) Task 2: 7．Some students feel stressed about their schoolwork. According to the talk, what should they do? Complete the paragraph in about 30 words. Passage 2 Peer Counselors: Warm Helpers for Teenagers Now more and more middle schools set up peer counseling groups for Grade 9 students. Peer counselors are ordinary students who receive special training to listen to classmates’ troubles and offer useful advice. Unlike teachers, they stand at the same age stage, so they can fully understand the pressure and confusion that teenagers face every day. The training for peer counselors lasts for four weeks. Teachers teach them how to listen patiently, how to ask proper guiding questions, and how to keep all classmates’ personal secrets strictly. The most important rule for every counselor is never to spread others’ private stories to any third person. If they break this rule, they will lose the qualification to work in the group. Students can visit peer counselors during noon break or after school. The problems they talk about cover different sides of teenage life: conflicts with parents, difficulties in making friends, stress from schoolwork, and worries about self-image. Peer counselors cannot solve all big problems, but they can create a safe space for troubled students to pour out their feelings. Many students say after talking, their heavy hearts become much lighter. A peer counselor called Tom shared his working experience. Last month, a classmate came to him, upset because his parents disagreed with his dream of learning photography. Tom did not give direct advice at once. Instead, he asked the boy to list all the advantages of photography and how he planned to balance study and hobbies. Later, the boy wrote a detailed plan and had a peaceful talk with his parents, and they finally reached an agreement. Experts say peer counseling brings two-way benefits. For students with troubles, they get emotional comfort and practical suggestions. For counselors themselves, they learn to care for others, improve communication skills and become more responsible people. It is a valuable growing experience for both sides. However, peer counselors have clear limits. If students meet serious problems such as long-term depression or family conflicts that cannot be solved, counselors must guide them to turn to professional school teachers or psychological experts for further help. Answer the following questions according to the passage. Task 1: 1．Who are peer counselors in schools? 2．How long does the training for peer counselors last? 3．What is the most important rule for peer counselors? 4．Why did Tom’s classmate feel upset when he went to Tom? 5．What two kinds of benefits does peer counseling bring? Task 2: 6．What will you do if you are the counselor when students face serious mental troubles? (No more than 30 words) 五、U2单元话题预测 Passage 1 Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) In the city center, firefighters quickly get ready when they hear the alarm. Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death. Who would do a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. One month ago, he signed up for the job. He used to sit in an office of a software company, but now he is trained to break into rooms full of smoke and heat and come up with a rescue strategy. “I wanted a job where I could be active, work with my hands, learn new practical skills, and face different challenges every day,” That’s quite an understatement (保守说法) to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while fighting against a fire. But Telfer says that flames (火焰) and nerves can be controlled in the same way: through continuous physical and mental training. Telfer was a runner in college, but now he trains his lungs for dangerous situations instead of races. He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks. He also needs to carry unconscious people to safety. No matter what he’s doing, he has to control his breathing. Panic (恐慌) will only waste his limited air supply. His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too. When they are not dealing with emergencies, they study many subjects like emergency medicine, structural design, and chemical reactions. They practice quickly assessing (评估) the changing conditions of a fire. Shifting from a software expert to a first responder was a big change for Telfer. But he says, “I have never once felt that this isn’t the right job for me.” Even though danger might be waiting every day, his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the middle of a fierce fire. 1．Firefighters have to get ready within sixty seconds after hearing the alarm, don’t they? 2．When did Sam Telfer become a firefighter? 3．Where did Telfer work before becoming a firefighter? 4．What physical training does a firefighter take? Give an example. 5．How can a firefighter survive a big fire? 6．Does Sam Telfer love the job as a firefighter? Give your reason. Passage 2 What Makes a Job Worthwhile? When students talk about dream jobs, most of them mention famous or high-income jobs like doctors, designers or photographers. Few students think about ordinary jobs that carry cultural value. However, every job that brings good influence to society is worthwhile, especially jobs with traditional craftsmanship. Book restoration is one such worthwhile job. Its main duty is repairing ancient paper works damaged by damp, insects or fire. Workers need two basic qualities: professional repair skills and endless patience. Sometimes repairing one page takes a whole workday, and workers cannot make any mistakes. Another valuable job is being a traditional wood craftsman. These workers repair old wooden furniture and create new wooden artworks. They learn skills from elder masters and pass the skills down to younger people. Their work keeps thousands of old wooden cultural treasures alive. Unlike factory machines that make the same products quickly, craftsmen create unique works with hand skills. Every piece of wooden art has its own special shape and story. Many young people refuse to take these jobs for two reasons. First, traditional craft jobs usually bring lower pay than office jobs. Second, the training period is long and boring. You need to spend 5 to 10 years learning basic skills before you can work independently. Even so, more cultural workers are calling on teenagers to take up traditional craft jobs. These jobs protect our national culture. If no young people learn these skills, many old crafts will disappear forever. The government also offers free training courses for traditional handcraft skills to encourage more young learners. If you want to choose a worthwhile job, do not only think about money. Ask yourself two questions: Can this job bring value to society? Do I have real passion for this work? If both answers are yes, this job is worth your time and effort. Answer the following questions according to the passage. 1．What kind of jobs are worthwhile according to the passage? 2．What are the two basic qualities for book restorers? 3．What is the difference between hand-made wooden works and machine-made ones? 4．How long do people need to learn basic wood craft skills to work alone? 5．What does the government do to encourage young people to learn traditional crafts? 6．Please write one sentence to explain your idea of a worthwhile job (No More Than 25 Words). 六、U3单元话题预测 Passage 1 Learn from Ancient Travellers’ Spirits Three world-famous ancient travellers left valuable travel works for later generations: Xu Xiake from China, Marco Polo from Venice and Ibn Battūtah from Morocco. Their travel journals are not only records of scenery, but also precious cultural treasures teaching modern teenagers how to explore the world with patience and careful observation. Xu Xiake travelled widely all over China for decades. He walked through mountains, rivers and villages, and wrote detailed notes about geography, plants and local customs every single day. No matter what bad weather or difficult roads, he never stopped recording what he saw. His work The Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake helps modern people study ancient Chinese geography and folk culture. Unlike many travellers in his time who only visited famous scenic spots, Xu Xiake preferred small unknown villages to find unique local stories. Marco Polo travelled to China during Kublai Khan’s rule and served the emperor for many years. After he returned to Venice, he was caught in a war and put into prison. With a writer’s help, he finished The Travels of Marco Polo. This book introduced China’s rich culture and great inventions to European readers, building a cultural bridge between the East and the West. His stories encouraged lots of Western people to travel to Asia to learn new culture. Ibn Battūtah spent nearly thirty years travelling around forty countries in Africa, Asia and Europe. After he finished all his journeys, he told all his travel experiences to a scholar, who wrote them down into the book Rihlah. His writing focuses on different community cultures and local people’s friendly spirits, especially the warm hospitality of strangers in every country he visited. History teachers ask students to learn from these three travellers for two main reasons. First, they never gave up travelling and recording even when they met hard difficulties. Second, they respected every local culture they met and were willing to communicate with ordinary villagers instead of only visiting famous buildings. Teachers advise students to keep travel journals and design travel brochures after trips, just like these ancient travellers did hundreds of years ago. These activities help teenagers observe life carefully and form a respectful attitude towards different cultures. 1．How many famous ancient travellers are mentioned in the passage? 2．What book did Xu Xiake’s travel notes become later? 3．Why was Marco Polo put into prison after returning to Venice? 4．What does Ibn Battūtah’s book mainly talk about? 5．What two spirits can students learn from ancient travellers according to teachers? 6．Give two practical ways for students to learn from ancient travellers. (No more than 30 words) Passage 2 Travel Brochure: Ancient Water Town Xixi If you want to enjoy slow traditional travel within one hour from the city centre, Xixi Ancient Water Town is your perfect choice. This town has over one thousand years of history and keeps original water town style without too many modern buildings. Unlike noisy commercial tourist spots, Xixi keeps its quiet slow lifestyle of local villagers. The whole town is crossed by clear water channels. Small wooden boats carry visitors across rivers, and old stone bridges connect different streets. Local villagers still live in black-tile wooden houses beside water. Every early morning, you can see elders wash vegetables by the river and small shops sell homemade rice cakes. No loud loudspeakers or crowded street performances break the peaceful atmosphere here. Xixi is famous for two special local treasures: bamboo handcrafts and river food. Local craft masters make bamboo baskets, bamboo fans and small bamboo toys with thin bamboo strips. Visitors can watch the whole making process and even try simple weaving skills under masters’ guidance. For food lovers, the river shrimp soup and sweet rice cakes are must-taste dishes. All food uses fresh natural materials from local rivers and farmlands. Another special feature of Xixi is “blank space travel”. Most tourist towns fill every street with shops and entertainment projects, but Xixi leaves large quiet natural areas with wild grass and old trees. Tourists can walk along empty riverside paths, sit on stone benches and enjoy quiet time alone. Travel writers say this empty quiet space gives visitors enough room to relax and imagine, which is the biggest charm of Xixi. Many students choose Xixi for school autumn trips every year. Teachers think this trip helps teenagers stay away from busy city life and learn traditional local culture. Visitors cannot buy expensive luxury goods here, but they can get valuable spiritual peace that modern shopping malls cannot offer. If you plan a one-day slow trip with your classmates or family, Xixi Ancient Water Town is well worth your visit. 1．How long is the history of Xixi Ancient Water Town? 2．What transport can visitors take to cross rivers in Xixi? 3．What two local treasures make Xixi famous? 4．Why does Xixi leave lots of quiet natural areas? 5．What benefit can students get from visiting Xixi according to teachers? 6．Please give two practical tips for students travelling in Xixi.

He never raised his hand in class, never spoke at lunch tables, and never joined any school activities. His classmates had stopped noticing him altogether; he was simply the boy who sat in the back corner of every room, silent and invisible. But Sam had a secret that nobody knew: he wrote beautiful poetry, filling notebook after notebook with words that nobody else would ever read. The poetry came from a dark place. Sam’s father had passed away suddenly the previous year, and Sam had never found the right words to express his grief aloud. He had tried talking to the school counsellor, but the words got stuck in his throat like stones. So he wrote instead. Poetry became his voice, his comfort, and his only true friend in a world that seemed to have forgotten him. One afternoon, his English teacher, Mrs. Bennett, discovered one of Sam’s notebooks when he accidentally left it in the classroom after school. She read a poem about rain that reminded him of his father, and she was deeply moved. The next day, she quietly asked Sam to read one of his poems at the school’s annual open-mic night. Sam felt his face burn with embarrassment and fear. He almost refused, but something in Mrs. Bennett’s kind eyes convinced him to at least consider it. For weeks, Sam prepared. He stood in front of his bedroom mirror, reciting his poem again and again. His hands trembled, his voice cracked, and his heart pounded every single time. But he kept trying. On the night of the open-mic, Sam watched nervously as other students performed. When his name was called, he walked to the stage as if in a dream. The spotlight blinded him, and for a moment he could not speak. Then he thought of his father, closed his eyes, and began. The words poured out of him like water from a broken dam. He spoke of rain, of grief, of the love that outlasts death. The room was completely silent. When he finished, there was a long moment of stillness, and then the audience rose to their feet in applause. Some students were crying. Others were simply speechless. Task 1: Answer the following questions. 1．What was Sam’s secret that nobody in his school knew? 2．Why did Sam write poetry instead of talking to the school counsellor? 3．How did Mrs. Bennett discover Sam’s poetry? 4．How did the audience react to Sam’s performance at the open-mic night? 5．Task 2: 请根据上文情节，续写约35词，描述Sam第二天在学校的变化和感受。 Passage 2 Answer the questions. Today, many kinds of Chinese folk art made by hand are dying out. Last weekend when I was walking in the park, an old man painting with sugar caught my eye. With a spoon and hot sugar, the aged artist sat at a table and produced shapes of animals and Chinese characters. This also attracted many children, and they were begging their parents to buy one. The old man told us that, in the future, sugar painting would probably only exist in people’s memories because fewer people would learn the skill. I felt sad and worried after hearing his words. This cultural treasure will disappear if we don’t find ways to save it. Task 1: Answer the questions. 1．What did the old man use to paint? (不超过6词) 2．What shapes did the old man produce? (不超过8词) 3．Why were the children begging their parents? (不超过10词) 4．Why did the old man say sugar painting would disappear? (不超过15词) 5．How did the writer feel after hearing the old man’s words? (不超过5词) 6．What will happen if we don’t save sugar painting?

Passage 3 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 In the digital era, our country’s Ministry of Education pays much attention to AI (artificial intelligence) education for primary and secondary school students across China. They have set up AI curriculums (课程) in different levels for them. In primary school, students can get a taste of basic AI knowledge and simple operations, like using basic AI tools. As for junior high school students, they should start to understand the principles (原理) and functions of AI more deeply and use it to solve problems in study and life. In senior high school, students are expected to carry out small-scale (范围) AI project designs and research, exploring the future of AI technology The Ministry also encourages teachers to use AI in their daily teaching activities and regular assessments (评价). A new section related to AI will be added to the national smart educational platform (平台). In this way, excellent AI resources can be collected, making it easier for students around the country to share. Nowadays AI is just like a “golden key” for the education field and offers great opportunities for both teachers and students. However, just as a coin has two sides, AI may bring certain challenges as well. More and more students use AI tools like DeepSeek, Doubao, ChatGPT to help with their work. They let AI do tasks that normally require thinking—such as analyzing data, writing essays, solving hard problems, making decisions etc. But is this a good thing? An AI design researcher warns that if students depend too much on AI to think for them, they may lose their ability of thinking independently. In conclusion, we’d rather use AI to make us think than think for us. Please think twice while using AI. 请将答案写在答题卡上。 1．How many levels do school AI curriculums have? 2．What are teachers encouraged to do by the Ministry of Education? 3．Why will excellent AI resources be collected on the national smart educational platform? 4．What will happen to the students who depend too much on AI to think for them? 5．What do you think is a wise way for students to use AI tools for study?
