This isn’t an art museum or a scene from a sci-fi movie. This is the Fangshan campus of Beijing No.4 High School. Usually, schools mean square buildings, separate classrooms, rows of desks and a teacher standing at the front. Most campuses have looked this way for many years. But as time goes by, traditional campuses 2 no longer meet students’ needs. There are now new schools that look quite 3 from the old ones. Take the Beijing No. 4 High School Fangshan campus for example. The school believes that 4 doesn’t just happen in the classroom, but all over the campus. The design of its campus makes students go outside, play and 5 with each other. Future campuses will 6 create more chances for teachers and students to interact (互动). “In the information age, the most important commodity (有价值之物) on a campus is social space to meet and 7 each other,” said Thomas, an architect (建筑师) from the United Kingdom. Thomas designed a teaching building for Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Students can enter the building from 8 directions. All of its rooms are round and link to each other 9 long corridors (走廊) separating them. There are many possibilities for future schools. But no matter 10 they look like, students are sure to be more active and creative in these campuses. 1．A．books B．plants C．rivers D．desks 2．A．must B．should C．may D．can 3．A．important B．different C．common D．simple 4．A．thinking B．laughing C．learning D．playing 5．A．communicate B．fight C．worry D．develop 6．A．probably B．exactly C．hardly D．never 7．A．depend on B．learn from C．take in D．set up 8．A．both B．either C．all D．each 9．A．with B．without C．through D．in 10．A．what B．how C．why D．when 【答案】 1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．A 6．A 7．B 8．C 9．B 10．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了未来学校的设计趋势，以北京四中房山校区为例，强调校园空间应鼓励学生互动、交流及发挥创造力。 1．句意：最令人惊讶的是，它的屋顶有一个农场，里面种满了各种各样的植物。 根据roof has a farm（屋顶有一个农场）可知，农场里应该是种满了植物。其他选项与农场语境不符。 2．句意：但随着时间的推移，传统校园可能不再满足学生的需求。 根据as time goes by（随着时间的推移）可知，这是一种推测，表示可能性。must语气太强，should表义务，can表能力，may最符合语境。 3．句意：现在有了新的学校，看起来与旧学校不同。 根据new schools与old ones的对比以及前文提到的传统校园不再满足需求，可知新学校与旧学校不同。固定搭配look different from。 4．句意：学校认为学习不仅仅发生在课堂上，而是发生在整个校园。 根据学校的主要功能以及doesn’t just happen in the classroom可知，此处指学习发生在校园各处。其他选项不符合学校的主要目的。 5．句意：校园设计使学生走出去，玩耍并相互交流。 根据play and… with each other及后文提到的interact（互动）可知，此处指积极的交流。fight和worry含贬义，develop语意不通。 6．句意：未来的校园可能会为师生创造更多互动机会。 根据Future campuses will可知是对未来的预测，probably表示可能性，符合语境。exactly太绝对，hardly和never表否定，不符。 7．句意：校园里最重要的价值是社交空间，以便相互见面和学习。 根据interact（互动）和教育场景可知，师生见面是为了相互学习。depend on和set up不符合互动学习的语境。 8．句意：学生可以从各个方向进入大楼。 根据directions是复数且指代多个方向，all修饰复数名词表示“所有”。both仅指两者，each接单数名词。 9．句意：所有房间都是圆形的，相互连接，没有长长的走廊将它们隔开。 根据link to each other（相互连接）可知，房间之间没有走廊隔开。with表示有，与句意相反。故选B。 10．句意：但无论它们看起来像什么，学生在这些校园里肯定会更积极和富有创造性。 根据look like可知，like是介词，后面需要接宾语，what充当宾语。how是副词，不能作介词like的宾语。 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Wilbur was a young pig who lived on a farm.

Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends” “guest friends” and “best friends”. ② The first kind of friend is acquaintances (熟人), and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friend does something bad, you don’t tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. ③ The second kind of friend could also be called “guest friends”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family members. You usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears, and they don’t open up to you how they really feel. ④ The last kind of friend, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you’re wrong. They will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you. ⑤ We all have our pest, guest, and best friends. We should value all friendships and remember that all best friends start out as just acquaintances. 1．If you have pest friends, you may only know their ________. A．names B．hobbies C．qualities D．homes 2．What does the underlined word “they” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．Good friends. B．Best friends. C．Guest friends. D．Pest friends. 3．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．The writer wrote the passage mainly to ________. A．teach us how to find “best friends” B．warn us not to know more about “pest friends” C．tell us to value all friendships D．encourage us to make more friends 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了“pest friends”、“guest friends”和“best friends”三种不同类型朋友的特点，最后点明我们应当珍惜所有友谊，所有挚友都始于熟人。 1．第②段提到“The first kind of friend is acquaintances, and all you usually know about them is their names.”，pest friends属于熟人这类朋友，你通常仅知道他们的名字。 2．第③段提到“The second kind of friend could also be called ‘guest friends’. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends... and they don’t open up to you how they really feel.”，本段围绕guest friends展开介绍，划线词they指代的是guest friends。 3．第①段总起，提出朋友分为三种类型；第②③④段分别介绍三类朋友的具体特点；第⑤段总结全文，点明要珍惜所有友谊的观点。文章为“总—分—总”结构，对应选项B的结构图。 4．第⑤段提到“We should value all friendships and remember that all best friends start out as just acquaintances.”，作者写本文的主要目的是告诉我们要珍惜所有的友谊。 Kelly is the star of her soccer team.

She wanted to be the best!”及Selena表现出色的情节可知，Kelly担心Selena会比自己优秀。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。第2段中“she”前描述的是“Kelly was worried...She was the star...”，因此“she”指代的是Kelly。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“One day, a new girl named Selena joined the team. ‘She looks like a good player,’ whispered Kelly’s friend Tara. Kelly was worried.”可知，Selena刚加入时是担忧(a)；根据“Kelly ran as fast as possible, but Selena sprinted ahead. She won the race! Kelly was angry. She did not like Selena.”可知，赛跑输给Selena后是生气(b)；根据“Afterwards, Selena and Kelly talked together. ‘That was a great goal, Kelly!’ said Selena. ‘Our team can win when we work together. We can be the best.’ ‘I agree!’ said Kelly. ‘You’re a great player.’ ”可知，比赛后是认可并友好相处(c)。选项C的曲线(先降后升)符合这一变化。故选C。 4．主旨理解题。文章通过Kelly和Selena的合作获胜，体现了“团队合作促成成功”的道理。故选D。 ①Will your school change a lot in the future?

How did you feel? What if you have a “tree climbing class” at school? A school in Hangzhou just opened a “tree climbing class”. “Go! Go for it! You’re almost to the top!” On Monday morning, children at Xuezheng Primary School in Hangzhou get together around a tall tree. They are rooting for their classmates who are climbing the tree. On the tree, there are wooden stirrups (木镫) and no harm will come to the tree. PE teachers help the children put on protective gear (防护用具), and then they start the class happily. Chen Yang is one of the PE teachers. He said the students were a little scared when they first took the class. With his help, they didn’t feel afraid anymore. Some students can climb to the top now. So why did they start this class? In fact, many schools around the world have tree climbing classes, Cornell University in the US first started the tree climbing class. In 2012, students in Xiamen University started to take the class. There are also such classes in Hubei University. Tree climbing is similar to rock climbing.

We not only use numbers to count things, but also use them to express different meanings in our language. Here are some examples of them. Some problems are difficult to solve, but there are a lot of numerical expressions that can help. For example, if we put two and two together, we might come up with the right answer. We know that two heads are better than one. It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem. Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone. That is to say, we can complete two goals (目标) with only one effort or action. But we must remember that two wrongs don’t make a right. If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him. If you are going out with your girlfriend or boyfriend, you do not want another friend to go with you. You can just say to your friend: Two’s company, three’s a crowd. When I was a young child in school, I had to learn the three Rs. These important skills are reading, writing and arithmetic (算术). These three words do not all start with the letter “R”, but they have the sound of “R”. These are some expressions about numbers. Hope they can be useful to you. 1．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A．Numbers are easy to use. B．Numbers are useful in Maths. C．The importance of numbers in our life. D．Different languages have different numbers. 2．If your friend won a football match and made two friends in the match, what would you say to him? A．You killed two birds with one stone. B．Two wrongs don’t make a right. C．You need to finish three Rs. D．Two’s company, three’s a crowd. 3．Which is NOT one of the three Rs according to the passage? A．Reading. B．Writing. C．Reporting. D．Arithmetic. 4．What can we know from the article? A．All the number expressions can help you solve problems. B．Putting two and two together means adding two men’s wisdom together. C．If someone does something bad to you, you should do the same to him. D．The writer didn’t need to learn arithmetic when he was at school. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了数字在日常生活中的重要性，并列举了一些包含数字的英语习语及其具体含义和使用场景。 1．根据文章第一段“Numbers are important in our daily life.”可推知本段核心内容是讲述数字在我们生活中的重要性，得出该段主要讨论数字的重要性。 2．根据文章第三段“Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone. That is to say, we can complete two goals with only one effort or action.”可推知朋友赢了比赛又交了朋友属于一举两得，符合该习语的使用场景。 3．根据文章第五段“These important skills are reading, writing and arithmetic”可推知三个R指的是阅读、写作和算术，得出Reporting不属于其中。 4．根据文章第二段“if we put two and two together, we might come up with the right answer. We know that two heads are better than one. It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem.”可推知该表达意味着结合两个人的智慧来解决问题，得出选项B符合文意。 What’s your favourite school subject? Do you love maths? Does English interest you? Or are you more of a scientist? We all have favourite subjects, but what if you studied two or more together instead of learning about each subject separately (分别地)? That’s exactly how some students in Finland (芬兰) are learning. When students learn about topics such as world events, they study several subjects together. For example, in a course about World War II, the students study history, geography and maths. Learning about topics, not just one subject, helps students see several points of view. In another course, called “Working in a café”, students study English, communication skills and economics (经济学) . Finnish educators (教育者) believe students learn better when they work in groups. Working together helps students develop their ability to communicate. At this point, students in Finland don’t spend their whole school day working in groups. They still attend regular classes and study some subjects separately. But Finland is serious about making changes to the school day and to how students learn. Finnish schools are making this change, because they believe that working together to study topics is better and more challenging for students than working alone or studying only one subject at a time. In addition, they feel that students who choose to study topics that they care about and to work together with teachers and other students become better learners. They also feel that students who learn in this way are better prepared for jobs. 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By comparing facts.B．By listing numbers. C．By raising questions. D．By telling stories. 2．What subjects can students study in a course about World War II? ① English.    ② History.    ③ Maths.    ④ Geography. A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②③④ 3．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Most Finnish teachers like discussing with students. B．Some students prefer to work alone and not in groups. C．Schools should have separate classrooms and hallways. D．Recent changes in Finnish education are good for students. 4．What’s the best title for the text? A．Group Learning in Finland B．New Learning Methods in Finland C．The Most Popular Subjects in Schools D．The Important Life Skills for Students 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍芬兰的新型教学方式，学生围绕主题整合多学科内容开展学习，阐述这种教学模式的优势。 1．根据文章第一段“What’s your favourite school subject? Do you love maths? Does English interest you? Or are you more of a scientist?”可推知，作者以提出问题的方式开篇，引出全文要介绍的芬兰学习方式相关内容。 2．根据文章第二段“For example, in a course about World War II, the students study history, geography and maths.”可知，二战主题的课程包含历史、地理和数学三门学科，对应题干中的②③④。 3．根据文章最后一段“In addition, they feel that students who choose to study topics that they care about and to work together with teachers and other students become better learners. They also feel that students who learn in this way are better prepared for jobs.”可推知，芬兰教育的近期变革对学生有益，能帮助学生提升学习能力，也能为未来就业做好准备。 4．文章围绕芬兰的新型学习方法展开，介绍了跨学科融合、小组合作的学习模式及其优势，“New Learning Methods in Finland”最能概括全文核心内容。 With prices and building costs rising, the DIY trend in the US continues to grow. “We needed furniture for our living room, ”says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs. ”John got married (结婚) six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are trying to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house. Jim has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoemaking factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. That is a large sum. “I was upset about it. But later, I finished a car repair course; Now, I should be able to fix the car by myself. ” John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money, so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself. 1．From the text we know that many newly married people ________. A．learn to make their own furniture by taking DIY courses B．find it very easy to pay for their living room C．have enough money for their own furniture of the house D．always go to a department store to buy things 2．John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to ________. A．repair the car all by themselves B．have a new lifestyle in the family C．make enough money to buy a house D．make or repair things by themselves 3．What does the underlined word“upset”most probably mean?

B．People who take DIY Courses must be quite different from the others in life. C．If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can only go to DIY classes. D．Most families in the country are doing DIY because they enjoy the lifestyle. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文介绍在美国生活成本上涨的背景下，DIY（自己动手做）潮流逐渐流行，列举约翰和吉姆的事例说明人们学习自制、修理物品来省钱，并介绍学习DIY的途径。 1．根据原文“John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days...The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture”，可知许多新婚夫妇通过上DIY课程学习自制家具。 2．根据原文“we decided to try making a few tables and chairs...Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house”，可知约翰夫妇上夜校课程是为了学习亲手制作、修理各类物品。 3．根据原文“he received a car repair bill for $420. That is a large sum. ‘I was upset about it.’”，高额修车费让他感到心烦，可推断upset意为担忧、心烦。 4．根据原文“With prices and building costs rising, the DIY trend in the US continues to grow...Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money, so they can fight the high cost of living”，能得出DIY因生活成本上涨变得愈发流行。 Last Sunday was Mom’s 40th birthday. I wanted to give her a special gift, not a store bought one. Dad suggested a necklace (项链), but I said, “No—I’ll make it myself. It has more love.” So I decided to make a photo frame (相框) with our family photo from last summer. I found materials at home: thin wood from the garage (Dad used it for a shelf), white glue, colorful paper, scissors, markers, and rose stickers—Mom loves roses. At first, I tried cutting the wood into a 20cm square with small scissors, but it slipped. I got angry, then remembered Mom’s words: “Be more patient.” I asked Dad for a small saw. He taught me to use it safely, and we cut the square. I sanded the edges (边缘), so Mom wouldn’t hurt her hands. Then I decorated it: I glued colorful paper on the frame, drew small flowers with markers, stuck rose stickers on the corners, and wrote “I love you, Mom!” in big letters. I also learned to fold three paper hearts and glued them on. It took two hours—my hands were sticky, but I didn’t care. When Mom came home, I gave her the frame. She held it, looked for a long time, then cried happy tears. She hugged me tight: “This is the most beautiful gift! I’ll put it on my desk.” Later, she sent a photo of it to Grandma. DIY gifts aren’t easy—you make mistakes and spend time, but they’re special because of your heart. Try one for your family’s birthday; it just needs to show care. I’m already thinking about Dad’s birthday gift now! 1．What tool did the writer use to cut the wood finally? A．A knife. B．A saw. C．Scissors. D．Dad’s tool. 2．Why did Mom cry when she got the frame? A．Because she didn’t like the rose stickers. B．Because she hurt her hands on the wood edges. C．Because she was sad the frame was not perfect. D．Because she was moved (感动的) by the writer’s love. 3．What does “sanded” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Cut the wood into a square. B．Stuck colorful paper on the wood. C．Made the edges smooth with sandpaper. D．Drew flowers on the wood with markers. 4．What does the writer tell us in the last paragraph? A．DIY gifts are special because of love. B．Family birthdays need expensive gifts. C．Dad’s birthday gift will be a photo frame. D．DIY gifts are easy to make and save time. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在妈妈40岁生日时，决定亲手制作一个带家庭照片的相框作为特别礼物，在制作过程中克服困难，最终妈妈收到礼物很感动，作者也感悟到DIY礼物的意义。 1．细节理解题。根据“I asked Dad for a small saw. He taught me to use it safely, and we cut the square.”可知，作者最终用锯子切割木材。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“She held it, looked for a long time, then cried happy tears. She hugged me tight...”可推断，妈妈哭泣是因为被作者的爱感动。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据“I sanded the edges (边缘), so Mom wouldn’t hurt her hands.”可知，作者的目的是让边缘光滑，避免伤到手，因此可推知，sanded意为“用砂纸打磨边缘使其光滑”。故选C。 4．观点态度题。根据“DIY gifts aren’t easy—you make mistakes and spend time, but they’re special because of your heart.”可知，作者想告诉我们DIY礼物因爱而特别。故选A。 Words to Describe (描述) Your School     There must be something that you love about your school, whether it is the environment, culture, daily life, or even the school uniforms.

Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here are some tips to help you. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then, decide a good, regular time for studying. 2 A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject. Make good use of your time in class. 3 Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says. Study regularly (有规律地). When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 4 If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer. Develop a good attitude (态度) about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried. 5 You will probably discover many others after you have tried these. A．There are other methods that might help you with your studying. B．Don’t forget to set aside enough time for relaxation. C．Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. D．No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard. E．You probably think you will never be a top student. F．Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class. G．This will help you understand the next class. 【答案】1．E 2．B 3．C 4．G 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章针对普通学生想提升学习水平的需求，提出了五项具体且可操作的学习建议，包括合理规划时间、选择专属学习空间、充分利用课堂时间、保持规律复习、树立正确的考试态度，同时指出还有其他有效学习方法可供探索，助力学生提升学习效率和效果。 1．根据上文“Maybe you are an average student.”和下文“However, this is not necessarily so. Anyone can become a better student”可知，或许你是个普通学生，而下文转折，表示任何人都能变优秀，因此这里应是普通学生的消极自我认知；选项E“你可能认为自己永远成不了优等生。”承接前文身份设定，引出后文转折，符合语境。故选E。 2．根据上文“Plan your time carefully… First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then, decide a good, regular time for studying.”可知，本段主旨是“规划时间”，要先安排吃饭、睡觉等基础时间，再确定学习时间，此处应是时间规划的补充；选项B“别忘了留出足够的放松时间。”既符合时间统筹的逻辑，也让时间安排更全面，衔接自然。故选B。 3．根据上文“Make good use of your time in class.”和下文“Really listening in class means less work later.”可知，本段主旨是“利用课堂时间”，而下文强调课堂认真听讲能减少后续负担，此处应是关于课堂听讲的建议；选项C“利用课堂时间认真听老师讲的所有内容。”直接呼应下文的“listening”，契合段落核心。故选C。 4．根据上文“If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material.”可知，如果知道老师次日要讲的内容，提前预习相关材料，此处应是介绍预习的作用；选项G“这会帮助你理解下一节课的内容。”明确指出预习的意义，承接上文的预习建议，逻辑通顺。故选G。 5．根据下文“You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.”可知，尝试这些方法后，你可能会发现更多其他方法，此处应是对上文方法的补充，引出“其他方法”的概念；选项A“还有其他能帮你学习的方法。”衔接下文，符合段落总结的语境。故选A。 四、任务型阅读 阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题，并将答案写在答题卷上标有题号的横线上。 Recently, short videos have got millions of views online.

More than 50% of high school students say they enjoy watching these short videos. About 47% have posted (发布) their own videos, according to a report by China National Youth Palace Association. The videos let young people see interesting and exciting things they can’t usually see. Many young people like to share the fun things they do with others. However, the videos can also cause trouble. Some students spend too much time watching them, so they don’t have enough time to study. Some videos have a bad effect on young people. So Tik Tok added a new function (功能) in April. It may lock the app if someone uses the app for over two hours a day. In the same month, the government also did something to stop young people using this app too much. 1．How many high school students have posted their own videos according to a report? 2．What trouble can the short videos cause? 3．Would you like to watch short videos online? Why or why not? 【答案】1．About 47% of high school students have posted their own videos. 2．Some students spend too much time watching them and don’t have enough time to study, and some videos have a bad effect on young people. 3．Yes, I would. Because short videos can show me interesting and exciting things I can’t usually see. No, I wouldn’t. Because I may spend too much time on them and it will affect my study. 【导语】本文介绍了短视频在网络上流行的现状，讲述了短视频带给青少年的好处，同时也说明了短视频带来的一些问题以及对应的管控措施。 1．原文第二段“About 47% have posted their own videos, according to a report by China National Youth Palace Association”，这是原文直接提取的数据信息。 2．原文第四段“Some students spend too much time watching them, so they don’t have enough time to study. Some videos have a bad effect on young people”，整合两处信息得到本题答案。 3．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一。可以选择肯定或者否定的观点，理由结合文章内容表述合理即可。 From an early age, Fiona tried to be kind and friendly to everyone. She invited the whole class to her birthday party and occasionally (偶尔) gave presents to everybody. However, everything changed on International Day of Friendship. In class that day, everyone had to make three presents to give to their three best friends. Fiona enjoyed the task of choosing three from all her classmates. But when all the presents had been made and shared out, she was the only one that didn’t receive a present! Fiona hadn’t expected this and felt terrible. Crying for hours, everyone came to comfort her, but each stayed only a short time before leaving—just as she had done to others so many times. She realized she was a good companion (伙伴), but she hadn’t been a true friend to anyone. That night, Fiona told her mother about everything. Her mother said, “My dear, you cannot buy friends with a smile or a few good words. If you want true friends, you must give them time and real care.” Hearing this, Fiona decided to change her ways to finally have some true friends. 1．How did Fiona try to treat everyone? 2．How many presents did Fiona receive on International Day of Friendship? 3．What will you do if you want true friends? Why? 【答案】1．She tried to be kind and friendly to everyone. 2．Zero./None. 3．I will give them time and real care.

Usually, schools mean square buildings, separate classrooms, rows of desks and a teacher standing at the front. Most campuses have looked this way for many years.

Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends” “guest friends” and “best friends”. ② The first kind of friend is acquaintances (熟人), and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friend does something bad, you don’t tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. ③ The second kind of friend could also be called “guest friends”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family members. You usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears, and they don’t open up to you how they really feel. ④ The last kind of friend, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you’re wrong. They will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you. ⑤ We all have our pest, guest, and best friends.

A school in Hangzhou just opened a “tree climbing class”. “Go! Go for it! You’re almost to the top!” On Monday morning, children at Xuezheng Primary School in Hangzhou get together around a tall tree. They are rooting for their classmates who are climbing the tree. On the tree, there are wooden stirrups (木镫) and no harm will come to the tree. PE teachers help the children put on protective gear (防护用具), and then they start the class happily. Chen Yang is one of the PE teachers. He said the students were a little scared when they first took the class. With his help, they didn’t feel afraid anymore. Some students can climb to the top now. So why did they start this class? In fact, many schools around the world have tree climbing classes, Cornell University in the US first started the tree climbing class. In 2012, students in Xiamen University started to take the class. There are also such classes in Hubei University. Tree climbing is similar to rock climbing. It gives children a chance to go outdoors and helps build up their bodies. Maybe there will be more interesting and useful PE classes in the future. 1．The writer starts the text by ________.

D．A special lesson. Numbers are important in our daily life. We not only use numbers to count things, but also use them to express different meanings in our language. Here are some examples of them. Some problems are difficult to solve, but there are a lot of numerical expressions that can help. For example, if we put two and two together, we might come up with the right answer. We know that two heads are better than one. It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem. Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone. That is to say, we can complete two goals (目标) with only one effort or action. But we must remember that two wrongs don’t make a right. If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him. If you are going out with your girlfriend or boyfriend, you do not want another friend to go with you. You can just say to your friend: Two’s company, three’s a crowd. When I was a young child in school, I had to learn the three Rs. These important skills are reading, writing and arithmetic (算术). These three words do not all start with the letter “R”, but they have the sound of “R”. These are some expressions about numbers. Hope they can be useful to you. 1．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A．Numbers are easy to use. B．Numbers are useful in Maths. C．The importance of numbers in our life. D．Different languages have different numbers. 2．If your friend won a football match and made two friends in the match, what would you say to him? A．You killed two birds with one stone. B．Two wrongs don’t make a right. C．You need to finish three Rs. D．Two’s company, three’s a crowd. 3．Which is NOT one of the three Rs according to the passage? A．Reading. B．Writing. C．Reporting. D．Arithmetic. 4．What can we know from the article? A．All the number expressions can help you solve problems. B．Putting two and two together means adding two men’s wisdom together. C．If someone does something bad to you, you should do the same to him. D．The writer didn’t need to learn arithmetic when he was at school. What’s your favourite school subject? Do you love maths? Does English interest you? Or are you more of a scientist? We all have favourite subjects, but what if you studied two or more together instead of learning about each subject separately (分别地)? That’s exactly how some students in Finland (芬兰) are learning. When students learn about topics such as world events, they study several subjects together. For example, in a course about World War II, the students study history, geography and maths. Learning about topics, not just one subject, helps students see several points of view. In another course, called “Working in a café”, students study English, communication skills and economics (经济学) . Finnish educators (教育者) believe students learn better when they work in groups. Working together helps students develop their ability to communicate. At this point, students in Finland don’t spend their whole school day working in groups. They still attend regular classes and study some subjects separately. But Finland is serious about making changes to the school day and to how students learn. Finnish schools are making this change, because they believe that working together to study topics is better and more challenging for students than working alone or studying only one subject at a time. In addition, they feel that students who choose to study topics that they care about and to work together with teachers and other students become better learners. They also feel that students who learn in this way are better prepared for jobs. 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By comparing facts.B．By listing numbers. C．By raising questions. D．By telling stories. 2．What subjects can students study in a course about World War II? ① English.    ② History.    ③ Maths.    ④ Geography. A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②③④ 3．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Most Finnish teachers like discussing with students. B．Some students prefer to work alone and not in groups. C．Schools should have separate classrooms and hallways. D．Recent changes in Finnish education are good for students. 4．What’s the best title for the text? A．Group Learning in Finland B．New Learning Methods in Finland C．The Most Popular Subjects in Schools D．The Important Life Skills for Students With prices and building costs rising, the DIY trend in the US continues to grow. “We needed furniture for our living room, ”says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs. ”John got married (结婚) six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are trying to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house. Jim has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoemaking factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. That is a large sum. “I was upset about it. But later, I finished a car repair course; Now, I should be able to fix the car by myself. ” John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money, so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself. 1．From the text we know that many newly married people ________. A．learn to make their own furniture by taking DIY courses B．find it very easy to pay for their living room C．have enough money for their own furniture of the house D．always go to a department store to buy things 2．John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to ________.

B．People who take DIY Courses must be quite different from the others in life. C．If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can only go to DIY classes. D．Most families in the country are doing DIY because they enjoy the lifestyle. Last Sunday was Mom’s 40th birthday. I wanted to give her a special gift, not a store bought one. Dad suggested a necklace (项链), but I said, “No—I’ll make it myself. It has more love.” So I decided to make a photo frame (相框) with our family photo from last summer. I found materials at home: thin wood from the garage (Dad used it for a shelf), white glue, colorful paper, scissors, markers, and rose stickers—Mom loves roses. At first, I tried cutting the wood into a 20cm square with small scissors, but it slipped. I got angry, then remembered Mom’s words: “Be more patient.” I asked Dad for a small saw. He taught me to use it safely, and we cut the square. I sanded the edges (边缘), so Mom wouldn’t hurt her hands. Then I decorated it: I glued colorful paper on the frame, drew small flowers with markers, stuck rose stickers on the corners, and wrote “I love you, Mom!” in big letters. I also learned to fold three paper hearts and glued them on. It took two hours—my hands were sticky, but I didn’t care. When Mom came home, I gave her the frame. She held it, looked for a long time, then cried happy tears. She hugged me tight: “This is the most beautiful gift! I’ll put it on my desk.” Later, she sent a photo of it to Grandma. DIY gifts aren’t easy—you make mistakes and spend time, but they’re special because of your heart. Try one for your family’s birthday; it just needs to show care. I’m already thinking about Dad’s birthday gift now! 1．What tool did the writer use to cut the wood finally? A．A knife. B．A saw. C．Scissors. D．Dad’s tool. 2．Why did Mom cry when she got the frame? A．Because she didn’t like the rose stickers. B．Because she hurt her hands on the wood edges. C．Because she was sad the frame was not perfect. D．Because she was moved (感动的) by the writer’s love. 3．What does “sanded” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Cut the wood into a square. B．Stuck colorful paper on the wood. C．Made the edges smooth with sandpaper. D．Drew flowers on the wood with markers. 4．What does the writer tell us in the last paragraph? A．DIY gifts are special because of love. B．Family birthdays need expensive gifts. C．Dad’s birthday gift will be a photo frame. D．DIY gifts are easy to make and save time.

Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here are some tips to help you. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then, decide a good, regular time for studying. 2 A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject. Make good use of your time in class. 3 Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says. Study regularly (有规律地). When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 4 If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer. Develop a good attitude (态度) about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried. 5 You will probably discover many others after you have tried these. A．There are other methods that might help you with your studying. B．Don’t forget to set aside enough time for relaxation. C．Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say.
