I carried it to a local animal center and watched a doctor carefully treat its broken wing. 1. ______ A month later, the bird was strong enough to fly away, and I felt wonderfully proud. Now I volunteer at the center every Saturday morning. 2. ______ I clean small cages, prepare food, and write down changes in the animals' health. These simple jobs have taught me that caring for animals requires patience as well as kindness. A wildlife veterinarian needs many kinds of knowledge. 3. ______ For example, the doctor must understand an animal's body, choose safe medicine, and sometimes work in forests or mountains. Good communication is also important because the doctor often works with rescue teams. The most difficult part may be treating animals that are frightened or in pain. 4. ______ I have seen our center's doctor sit quietly beside a fox until it stopped shaking. Her gentle actions showed me that trust can be part of the treatment.

Colorful models stood on the tables, and large plans covered the walls. 2. ______ She explained how a simple idea slowly develops through discussion, drawing, testing, and many careful changes.

This spring, the art club asked to turn it into a mural about school life. 1. ______ Soon, students from different grades were sharing sketches of books, trees, sports, and friendship. Choosing one design was not easy because everyone liked a different idea.

I cut through an important line, and the butterfly fell into three pieces. 3. ______ She gave me another sheet and reminded me to turn the paper instead of twisting my hand around each small curve. As I practiced, I learned that common designs often carry special meanings. Fish may express wishes for plenty, while flowers can stand for happiness or a new beginning. 4. ______ It sends good wishes through shapes that families have loved for generations. Before returning home, I created a paper cutting of two birds beside a tree. The lines were not as smooth as my aunt's, but she placed it on her window. 5. ______ Now I understand why handmade art can feel more precious than something perfect from a shop. A.

When I pushed too hard, one side folded inward and nearly collapsed. 3. ______ Unlike drawing with a pencil, working with clay allowed me to feel every change directly through my fingers. After the cups dried, we painted them with liquid colors called glazes.

During the next few weeks, we increased the distance little by little.

I tried to study everything at once, but my thoughts raced from one task to another. 1. ______ Even when I sat at my desk, worry kept me from learning well. Our school counselor taught us a simple breathing exercise. We placed both feet on the floor and breathed in slowly through the nose. 2. ______ Counting each breath gave my busy mind one quiet thing to follow for a few minutes. Breathing did not make my work disappear, so I also wrote every task on paper.

I used to believe that taking breaks wasted valuable study time.

First, I set a regular bedtime and stopped using screens thirty minutes earlier.

The change was not perfect every night. A late basketball practice and a family dinner sometimes moved my schedule. 4. ______ Returning to the routine the next evening was more useful than feeling guilty about one unusual night.

By the middle of the season, my passes were more controlled, but I still sat on the bench during many matches. 4. ______ I cheered, watched how stronger players moved, and entered practice with questions about what I had seen.

A blue jacket brought back memories of my first day in middle school. 1. ______ Keeping every old thing, however, left little space for what I used now. My mother suggested sorting the clothes into three groups: keep, reuse, and give away.

We turned two worn T-shirts into cleaning cloths. Clothes that were clean and strong went into a donation bag. 3. ______ Imagining another student wearing the blue jacket helped me release it with a happier heart. Before closing the bag, I took photos of three special pieces and wrote a short memory about each one. 4. ______ The stories could remain even when the objects moved on to a different purpose or owner. My shelves now have room, but the project gave me more than an organized closet. I saw clear signs of how quickly my body and life had changed. 5. ______ Growing means carrying useful memories forward without needing to keep everything from the past. A. Fashion stores change their window displays at the start of each season. B. Anything useful but untouched for a year needed a new purpose. C. In this way, I separated the memory from the material object. D. Part of me wanted to save every piece because of such memories. E. Making space became a quiet way of accepting that change. F. Someone else could continue the useful life of those good clothes.

From outside, the narrow entrance looked ordinary and a little disappointing. 1. ______ Cool air touched our faces as the guide led us down a wet stone path. Inside, thin shapes hung from the roof, while others rose from the cave floor. The guide explained that drops of mineral-rich water formed them extremely slowly. 2. ______ Some of the tallest columns may have needed thousands of years to reach their present size. Colored lights made one chamber look like an underground palace, but our guide briefly turned them off. Complete darkness surrounded us. 3. ______ Without sight, I suddenly noticed dripping water and the quiet breathing of classmates beside me. We were warned not to touch the rock formations. Oil and dirt from human hands can change their surfaces and stop natural growth. 4. ______ Protecting the cave required visitors to enjoy its beauty without leaving signs behind. When we returned to daylight, the familiar hills no longer seemed ordinary. A hidden world had been developing under them long before people arrived. 5. ______ The visit taught me that some of Earth's greatest wonders grow quietly beyond our everyday view. A.

I expected an endless flat land covered with the same yellow sand. 1. ______ Rocky hills, pale grass, dry riverbeds, and dunes appeared one after another outside our window. At a small visitor center, a guide described how desert plants survive. Some spread wide roots near the surface to collect brief rain. 2. ______ By saving water and avoiding the hottest hours, each plant follows a different survival plan. We walked among the dunes near sunset, when the sand was cooler. The wind quickly softened our footprints behind us. 3. ______ This moving surface helped me understand why travelers need clear directions and should never explore such places alone. As the sun dropped, every dune developed a bright side and a deep purple shadow. I raised my camera but then lowered it for a minute. 4. ______ Watching quietly allowed me to notice colors that the small screen could not fully capture. Night brought the greatest surprise. With few buildings nearby, thousands of stars appeared above the dark land. 5. ______ The desert was not empty at all; it was full of quiet life, changing light, and space that made us feel very small. A. That enormous sky became the perfect ending to our journey. B. Within minutes, the path we had taken almost disappeared. C. Modern trains can carry hundreds of passengers across wide regions each day. D. I wanted to experience the view before turning it into a photograph. E.

Scientists there can hear insects, birds, and frogs from before sunrise until long after dark. 1. ______ It is a busy community built in several layers from the ground to the treetops. Near the forest floor, little sunlight reaches the wet soil. Plants with broad leaves collect what light they can. 2. ______ High above them, branches form a green roof where monkeys and bright birds search for fruit. One researcher studies how tiny frogs react to changes in rainfall. Their health can offer early information about the whole environment. 3. ______ A change affecting one small animal may later influence many plants and creatures around it. Working there is not comfortable. Equipment becomes wet, paths turn muddy, and insects enter almost every open bag. 4. ______ The researchers accept these difficulties because each observation can improve our understanding of this rich but threatened place. The program also showed nearby families planting trees on cleared land. Young forests cannot replace ancient ones immediately, but they can reconnect areas of habitat. 5. ______ Protecting an amazing place depends on patient science and the daily choices of many people. A. Tourists often choose light clothing when visiting warm coastal towns. B. Hope grows when research and local action support each other. C. In a rainforest, separate lives are linked in a complicated web. D. Even simple daily tasks demand planning and a great deal of patience. E.

The air smelled strange, and bare hills stretched around us in shades of brown and gray. 1. ______ It felt as if the quiet land were breathing beneath our feet. Our guide took us to a safe path beside a geyser. For several minutes, the pool only shook and released small clouds of steam. 2. ______ Everyone stepped back in surprise as hot water suddenly rushed high into the cold air. Geysers need a special combination of underground heat, water, and narrow rock spaces. Water sinks, becomes extremely hot, and builds pressure below. 3. ______ That is why active geysers appear in only a few parts of the world. People in Iceland also use underground heat in practical ways. It warms many homes and provides hot water without burning as much fuel. 4. ______ The same powerful conditions that create a tourist wonder can support ordinary life more cleanly. We left after seeing the geyser erupt three times. Each event followed the same natural process, yet each one still felt exciting. 5. ______ The visit showed me that Earth's hidden energy can be both dramatic and useful. A. This natural resource connects the unusual landscape with daily comfort. B. The island's fishing boats bring fresh seafood to towns along the coast. C. Understanding the science did not reduce my sense of wonder. D. Pools of hot water bubbled beside the marked walking paths. E. When the pressure becomes strong enough, the water escapes upward. F. Then the calm surface lifted like a huge clear bubble.

Through the clear floor, patches of purple, orange, and green covered the shallow sea. 1. ______ I had expected rocks, but the reef seemed more like a crowded underwater city. Corals may look like plants, yet they are built by groups of tiny animals. Over long periods, their hard structures create shelter for other life. 2. ______ Small fish hid in narrow spaces while a sea turtle moved slowly above them. Our guide explained that reefs are sensitive to warmer water and pollution. When conditions remain stressful, corals can lose the tiny partners that give them color. 3. ______ A pale reef may still be alive, but it has become weak and needs better conditions to recover. Visitors also have a responsibility to behave carefully. We kept all rubbish on the boat and did not throw food to the fish. 4. ______ Respectful tourism allows people to enjoy the reef without adding unnecessary pressure. Before the trip, coral reefs were only beautiful pictures in my science book. Seeing one made both its richness and its danger feel real. 5. ______ Amazing places need more than our admiration; they also need informed choices and long-term protection. A. This structure gives thousands of sea creatures places to feed or rest. B. This process is known as bleaching because the reef turns white. C. Bright fish flashed between shapes that looked like branches and fans. D. Even touching coral can harm an animal that grows very slowly. E. Some modern boats use large engines to travel faster between islands. F. Personal experience changed a distant issue into something I cared about.

That night, I pointed it toward the brightest object I could find, but I saw only a white blur. 1. ______ Clearly, observing the sky required more skill than simply looking upward. I joined a local astronomy club that met in a field outside town. Members advised me to begin with the Moon because it is bright and easy to locate. 2. ______ Shadows along this line made mountains and deep holes stand out clearly. The club leader also showed us how to use a simple star map. The map looked confusing until I learned to turn it to match the direction I faced. 3. ______ Soon, groups of stars became shapes that I could recognize from one week to the next. Cold air and clouds sometimes ended our meetings early. Instead of treating those nights as failures, we discussed space news or cleaned our equipment. 4. ______ Astronomy taught me that patient preparation matters because nature does not follow our plans. Months later, I finally saw Saturn and its rings through a larger telescope. The planet looked tiny, but the rings were unmistakable. 5. ______ A view lasting less than a minute connected me with a world more than a billion kilometers away. A. That quiet moment was more moving than any space photograph I had seen. B. There was always something useful to learn while waiting for clear skies. C. I had not focused the lens or allowed the telescope to become steady. D. The best details appeared near the border between light and darkness. E. Learning a few patterns turned the huge sky into a familiar guide. F. The field becomes covered with yellow flowers during warm spring weeks.

We first drew a building with wide windows and an open garden. 1. ______ Mars has thin air, intense cold, and radiation that reaches the surface. We replaced the windows with thick protected panels and moved most rooms partly underground. Then we discussed how the crew would get air and water. 2. ______ Every useful material would need to be saved, cleaned, and used again whenever possible. Food created another challenge. Carrying every meal from Earth would require too much space and fuel. 3. ______ Plants could provide fresh food and also improve the crew's mood during a long stay far from home. Our team disagreed about whether the home should hold four people or eight. A larger group could do more work, but it would use supplies faster. 4. ______ Comparing these needs helped us choose a home for six explorers. The final model looked less exciting than our first glass building, yet it was far more realistic. 5. ______ The project showed us that exploring another planet begins with understanding limits and finding creative ways to live within them. A. We therefore added a lighted room for growing small vegetables. B. We had to balance human safety, useful work, and limited resources. C. Several Mars robots have names chosen by students in different countries. D. Research quickly showed that our first idea ignored serious dangers. E. A closed system could recycle both moisture and used air. F. Good design often becomes stronger when facts challenge imagination.

During a science lesson, our teacher said this common idea was wrong. 1. ______ We used a lamp and a small white ball to discover what really happens. The lamp stood for the Sun, and each student held the ball at arm's length. As I slowly turned, different amounts of its bright half faced me. 2. ______ The ball itself did not change shape, and Earth's shadow was not covering it. Our teacher explained that half of the Moon is always lit by the Sun. What changes is how much of that bright half we see from Earth. 3. ______ This full cycle takes about a month and repeats in a predictable pattern. A lunar eclipse is different because Earth's shadow truly does fall on the Moon. However, the Sun, Earth, and Moon must line up closely. 4. ______ If shadows caused the normal phases, an eclipse would happen during every monthly cycle. That evening, I found the Moon and sketched its curved edge in a notebook. For the next four weeks, I recorded changes whenever the sky was clear. 5. ______ A simple model had turned a familiar object into an interesting question I could follow myself. A. The far side of the Moon contains mountains and many ancient craters. B. Observing the real sky helped the classroom explanation become clear. C. Instead of giving us the answer, she invited us to test the idea. D. This changing view produced the phases I recognized from the night sky. E. The Moon seems to grow, become full, and then grow smaller again. F. Such perfect alignment does not occur every time the Moon circles Earth.

I had never considered rubbish beyond Earth's air. 1. ______ Yet thousands of old machine parts now travel around our planet at extremely high speeds. Space junk includes dead satellites, used rocket sections, and fragments from past accidents. Even a very small piece can strike with great force. 2. ______ This danger makes it harder to protect working satellites and spacecraft carrying people. Scientists track larger objects with radar and telescopes. When one may pass too close to a satellite, controllers can sometimes change the satellite's path. 3. ______ Moving uses valuable fuel, and many tiny fragments are too small to follow. Engineers are testing possible solutions. Some design satellites that will fall safely after their work ends, while others study machines that could collect old objects. 4. ______ Preventing new junk may be easier and cheaper than removing everything already there. Modern life depends on satellites for weather reports, communication, maps, and research. Keeping their paths safe is therefore not only a problem for astronauts. 5. ______ Caring for the space around Earth has become another part of caring for life below. A. The issue can affect almost everyone who uses modern technology. B. Space had seemed too large and empty for litter to become a problem. C. Most experts agree that better rules for future missions are equally important. D. A crash can also create many new fragments and increase the danger. E. Many students enjoy building model rockets from paper and light plastic. F. However, avoiding every possible collision is not a complete answer.

Borders between countries cannot be seen, and the atmosphere looks like a thin line. 1. ______ Our enormous home suddenly appears small, shared, and surprisingly delicate. The blue color comes mainly from oceans, which cover most of the planet's surface. White clouds move above them, carrying water and shaping weather. 2. ______ Together, air and water connect distant places through systems that ignore lines on a map. Earth is also special because liquid water, suitable temperatures, and a protective atmosphere support life. Scientists search for similar conditions on worlds around other stars. 3. ______ So far, however, no discovered place is known to offer the rich living environment we have here. Looking beyond Earth does not make our own planet less interesting. Space research helps scientists watch storms, measure ice, and study forests from above. 4. ______ Knowledge gathered far overhead can guide practical decisions on the ground. The photograph on my classroom wall is not just a beautiful space image. It reminds me that every person depends on the same limited world. 5. ______ Exploring the universe and protecting Earth should be seen as two parts of the same human responsibility. A. The wider our view becomes, the clearer our shared duty should be. B. Each promising discovery teaches them more about what life may require. C. Powerful rockets must carry scientific instruments through the atmosphere. D. Even the air links us because winds carry heat and moisture around the globe. E. These observations can reveal changes that are difficult to notice locally. F. Seeing the planet from far away changes our sense of its size. 参考答案 Unit 1 My Dream Job Passage 1：F A E D C Passage 2：A F E D C Passage 3：E D B C F Passage 4：F B A D C Passage 5：A F C E B Unit 2 The World of Art Passage 1：C A E D B Passage 2：C E A B F Passage 3：F A C D B Passage 4：D B F C A Passage 5：B D F C A Unit 3 Sound Body, Sound Mind Passage 1：E B A C F Passage 2：B F E C D Passage 3：E D C F B Passage 4：D F A B C Passage 5：C A B E F Unit 4 Changing and Growing Passage 1：D A B F C Passage 2：D B A E C Passage 3：F A D E C Passage 4：D E B F C Passage 5：D B F C E Unit 5 Amazing Places Passage 1：A E C F B Passage 2：E F B D A Passage 3：F E C D B Passage 4：D F E A C Passage 5：C A B D F Unit 6 Earth and Beyond Passage 1：C D E B A Passage 2：D E A B F Passage 3：C D E F B Passage 4：B D F C A Passage 5：F D B E A 第 页 共 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
