Max is a golden retriever, and he is three years old. He has soft golden fur and big brown eyes. He is not just a pet—he is like a member of my family. Max is very friendly and playful. Every morning, he wakes me up by licking my hand. After I get up, I take him for a walk in the park near my home. He loves running around and chasing butterflies. Sometimes he meets other dogs in the park, and they play together happily. Max is also very smart. He can do many tricks, like sitting, shaking hands and rolling over. I taught him these tricks when he was a puppy, and he learned them quickly. Max is also very helpful. When I feel sad, he sits next to me and leans his head on my leg, as if he is trying to comfort me. Last year, I was sick and had to stay in bed for a week. Max stayed by my bed the whole time. He brought me my toys and even fetched a glass of water for me once (with my help, of course!). However, having a pet is not always easy. We have to take good care of Max. Every day, we feed him twice a day and give him fresh water. We also take him to the vet for check-ups every six months. Sometimes he chews my shoes or makes a mess at home, but I still love him very much. Max has brought so much happiness to my life. He is my best friend, and I know he will always be there for me. I am very lucky to have him. 1．What kind of dog is Max? A．A poodle. B．A golden retriever. C．A husky. D．A bulldog. 2．How does Max wake Emma up every morning? A．By barking. B．By jumping on the bed. C．By licking her hand. D．By bringing her toys. 3．What trick can Max NOT do? A．Sit. B．Shake hands. C．Roll over. D．Speak. 4．What did Max do when Emma was sick last year? A．He stayed by her bed the whole time. B．He ran away from home. C．He played with other dogs. D．He ate all her food. 5．What does Emma think of having a pet? A．It’s always easy. B．It’s not easy, but Max brings her happiness. C．It’s boring. D．It’s too expensive. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文作者介绍了她的宠物狗Max，讲述了它的性格、本领、暖心举动，也提到养宠物并不轻松，但Max给她带来很多快乐，是她最好的朋友。 1．第一段介绍：“Max is a golden retriever”，这直接说明Max是一只金毛寻回犬。 2．第二段描述：“Every morning, he wakes me up by licking my hand”，这直接说明Max每天早上舔Emma的手叫醒她。 3．第二段写明：“He can do many tricks, like sitting, shaking hands and rolling over”，文中没有提到会说话，所以Max不会做的技能是说话。 4．第三段讲述：“Last year, I was sick and had to stay in bed for a week. Max stayed by my bed the whole time.”，这说明去年Emma生病时，Max一直守在她床边。 5．第四段开头：“However, having a pet is not always easy.”，第五段开头：“Max has brought so much happiness to my life.”，说明Emma认为养宠物并不容易，但Max带给她很多快乐。 Do you have true friends? 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”. The first kind of friends is almost an acquaintance (熟人). All you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friends at school, at work, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friends does something bad, you don’t tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. The second kind of friends could also be called “social partners”. 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 histories. You may have the same interest and often do something together in your free time, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or dreams, and they don’t open up to you how they really feel. The last kind of friends, the “best friend” is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family members, 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 help you when you’re wrong. Sometimes they may not be perfect, but at least they will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you. We all have our pest, guest and best friends. We should value all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances. 1．If you and John are neighbors and classmates, and do things together, but don’t share your feelings, you are “________”. A．pest friends B．guest friends C．best friends D．true friends 2．The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ________. A．how to make a best friend B．how to learn from your best friends C．what a best friend is D．when a best friend can help you 3．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? ①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2 ③=Paragraph 3 ④=Paragraph 4 ⑤=Paragraph 5 A．①/②③④⑤ B．①/②③④/⑤ C．①/②/③④⑤ D．①/②/③/④/⑤ 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Pest friends are more important than guest friends. B．We miss our best friends when we’re not with them. C．A best friend hardly does anything bad to you. D．A “pest friend” will never become your best friend. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三种不同类型的朋友（pest friends, guest friends, best friends）及其特征，并倡导人们珍惜所有友谊。 1．根据文章第3段“You may have the same interest and often do something together in your free time, but you don’t talk about anything deep”可知，题目中“一起做事但不分享感受”的描述符合“guest friends”的定义。 2．根据文章第4段“The last kind of friends, the ‘best friend’ is the one you know the deepest.”可知，本段详细描述了最好的朋友的特征。 3．根据文章第1段“There are three different kinds of friends”及全文内容可知，第一段引出主题，第二至四段分述三种朋友，第五段总结，本文是“总——分——总”结构。 4．根据第4段“Sometimes they may not be perfect, but at least they will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you.” 可知挚友几乎不会做伤害你的坏事。 During the Tang Dynasty, there was an official in Yunnan. He wanted to show his respect for Emperor Taizong, so he sent a man named Mian Bogao to take some gifts to the emperor. One of the gifts was a beautiful swan.   Mian had to travel from Yunnan to Chang’an, the then capital of China. It was a long way. He took good care of the swan because it was a very important gift at that time. So he kept it in a cage to make sure that it wouldn’t run away.   One day, Mian passed by a river. He got down from his horse to drink some water. Then he put a bowl of water in front of the cage, so the swan could drink it. But when he came close to the cage, he found the swan became very dirty during the trip. Its beautiful feathers weren’t white any more. Mian carefully let it out of the cage. He brought it over to the river, so he could quickly wash it. However, as soon as he finished washing the swan, it flew away.   Mian tried to catch the swan, but he only got a feather. He was very worried. However, he didn’t run away. Instead, he decided to tell the emperor what happened. So he continued his trip.   When Mian finally arrived in Chang’an, he met Emperor Taizong and showed him the feather. Everyone was shocked. Mian told the emperor the whole story and said, “The swan feather is light, but it carries my deep respect for you.” Emperor Taizong was happy with Mian’s honesty and rewarded him. 1．Why did Mian Bogao keep the swan in a cage? A．Because he was afraid that it would fly away. B．Because he wanted to sell it on the way. C．Because he was showing respect for it. D．Because he wanted to keep it clean. 2．What did Mian Bogao do after the swan flew away? A．He ran away at once. B．He caught another white swan. C．He decided to tell the emperor the truth. D．He bought another white swan. 3．What can you learn from the story? A．We shouldn’t buy any expensive gifts. B．The love and respect behind the gift is the most important. C．Swan feather is a perfect gift for friends. D．Only gifts can show our love and respect for friends. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了唐代缅伯高千里送鹅毛的故事，核心对象是天鹅与羽毛，核心结论是礼轻情意重，行文探讨了诚信与心意的重要性。 1．原文第二段最后一句“So he kept it in a cage to make sure that it wouldn’t run away.”，可知缅伯高将天鹅关在笼子里是怕它飞走。 2．原文第四段：However, he didn’t run away. Instead, he decided to tell the emperor what happened.可知天鹅飞走后缅伯高没有逃跑，而是决定将实情告知皇帝。 3．原文最后一段缅伯高的话：“The swan feather is light, but it carries my deep respect for you.”可推知礼物背后承载的心意与尊重才是最珍贵的。 二、U2单元话题热点预测 The school sports meet is coming.

Do you find it hard to understand English conversations? Here are some practical tips to help you improve your listening skills. First, listen to short English materials. You can try English songs, short podcasts or news clips. Don’t choose long materials at first—short ones are easier to follow. When you listen to songs, you can read the lyrics (歌词) at the same time. This helps you connect words with sounds. Second, listen every day. You don’t need to spend hours listening. Even 10 to 15 minutes a day is enough. For example, you can listen while eating breakfast or walking to school. Regular practice is more useful than listening for a long time once a week. Third, ask for help. If you don’t understand a part, you can listen again. You can also ask your English teacher or classmates to explain it to you. Some apps even have a “repeat” function to help you listen to difficult parts again. Fourth, take notes. When you listen, write down key words like names, numbers or places. This helps you remember important information and review later. 1．What short materials can you listen to for English listening? A．Long novels. B．English songs or short podcasts. C．TV plays. D．Magazines. 2．How long do you need to listen to English every day? A．10 to 15 minutes. B．2 to 3 hours. C．All day. D．No time. 3．What can you do if you don’t understand a part? A．Stop listening. B．Listen again or ask for help. C．Read a book. D．Watch TV. 4．Why should you take notes while listening? A．To learn to write faster. B．To remember key information. C．To read better. D．To talk with others. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了提升英语听力技能的四种实用建议：听简短材料、每日坚持练习、遇到困难寻求帮助以及听时做笔记，旨在帮助学生有效提高听力水平。 1．根据文章第二段“You can try English songs, short podcasts or news clips.”可知，可以尝试听英文歌曲或短播客等简短材料。 2．根据文章第三段“Even 10 to 15 minutes a day is enough.”可知，每天只需要听10到15分钟。 3．根据文章第四段“If you don’t understand a part, you can listen again.

Instead, they believe that learning never stops and that there’s always something new to discover. Because they keep learning, they contribute a lot to the groups they’re part of, whether it’s at school, in clubs, or even with family and friends. They share fresh ideas and help others grow too. But what exactly makes them stand out? Here are some key characteristics: ② They are knowledge seekers. If they’re interested in a topic, they’ll dig deep to learn more. They don’t just stick to one book or website—they search everywhere for information. They also look for new experiences, like workshops or hands-on activities, to improve their skills. ③ They are social and self-directed learners. They like taking different courses and taking part in discussions about subjects they are interested in. They learn from and with others. They also know their own learning styles. They can plan and organize their own learning. ④ They are critical (批判性的) thinkers. Lifelong learners don’t just accept information blindly. They ask questions, check facts, and use different methods to analyze information. For example, if they’re researching a topic, they’ll compare sources to make sure the information is accurate and useful. ⑤ They are problem solvers. Learning isn’t always easy, and they’ll face challenges along the way. But instead of giving up, they see problems as chances to grow. They think creatively, try different strategies (策略), and learn from their mistakes. This helps them become stronger and more confident over time. ⑥ In short, lifelong learners stay curious, enjoy working with others, think carefully about information, and see challenges as chances to grow. These qualities not only help them succeed but also encourage people around them.

Did you notice that some of the characters in the sentence are in the wrong order? You might not realize it, but you can read and understand it well, right? If you didn’t catch it right away, you’re not alone. This is known as “typoglycemia”, where people can still understand disordered words as long as the first and last letters (or characters) are in place. When we’re first learning how to read, we read word by word. But after we become more experienced, we read in full phrases and even sentences. People can read five to six words at one time, Also, as experienced readers, we take the things we’re familiar with for granted (理所当然). We don’t pay as much attention to small details (细节). When we read something we’re familiar with, we may think all the words are in the right order. This is like when meeting a person with long hair, we think the person is a girl without taking a closer look. ★ . For example, you might still understand “belive” as “believe” or “tihs” as “this” at a quick look. It is believed that humans remember the meanings of words mostly by their shape and layout (布局), rather than the order of the letters. However, we cannot read disordered sentences as quickly as we read normal texts. In short, our brains are amazing, but they can be a little lazy when dealing with words! 1．Why does the writer mention the Chinese sentence at the beginning? A．To test readers’ Chinese level. B．To explain language rules. C．To build reader’s national pride. D．To raise readers’ interest in the topic. 2．What is “typoglycemia”? A．The skill to read very fast. B．The illness that makes reading difficult. C．The ability to read disordered sentences. D．The problem of forgetting words easily. 3．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．This also works with English words B．This problem is hard to solve C．We should check spellings carefully D．All languages have the same rule 4．According to paragraph 3, how can people remember words better? A．By reading word by word. B．By making word cards. C．By writing words again and again. D．By reading word groups. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How we can read quickly and correctly. B．Letter order is not important in reading. C．Why we can still read disordered words. D．Experience makes reading more exciting. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，解释了“typoglycemia”现象——只要单词首尾字符正确，人们就能读懂顺序混乱的内容，还说明了这是因为熟练读者会按词组阅读、依赖单词形状布局，而非字符顺序，本质是大脑处理文字时的“聪明偷懒”。 1．细节理解题。根据文章开头用“字符顺序错误但仍能读懂的中文句子”引入，结合下文介绍“typoglycemia”的主题，可知作者是为了引起读者对该话题的兴趣。文中无对应直接引句，但核心逻辑是通过趣味例子引出主题。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“This is known as ‘typoglycemia’, where people can still understand disordered words as long as the first and last letters (or characters) are in place.”可知，“typoglycemia”是指人们能够读懂顺序混乱单词的能力。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据空后例子“you might still understand ‘belive’ as ‘believe’ or ‘tihs’ as ‘this’”（英文单词的例子），结合前文讲中文句子的情况，可知此处应衔接“这种现象也适用于英文单词”。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据第三段“When we’re first learning how to read, we read word by word. But after we become more experienced, we read in full phrases and even sentences. People can read five to six words at one time”可知，通过阅读词组（word groups）能更好地记忆单词。故选D。   5．主旨大意题。文章围绕“为什么顺序混乱的单词仍能被读懂”展开，结合“This is known as ‘typoglycemia’, where people can still understand disordered words...”及后文对大脑阅读习惯的解释，可知文章主要说明我们能读懂混乱单词的原因。故选C。 四、U4单元话题热点预测 DIY is a fun and useful hobby.

Max is a golden retriever, and he is three years old. He has soft golden fur and big brown eyes. He is not just a pet—he is like a member of my family. Max is very friendly and playful. Every morning, he wakes me up by licking my hand. After I get up, I take him for a walk in the park near my home. He loves running around and chasing butterflies. Sometimes he meets other dogs in the park, and they play together happily. Max is also very smart. He can do many tricks, like sitting, shaking hands and rolling over. I taught him these tricks when he was a puppy, and he learned them quickly. Max is also very helpful. When I feel sad, he sits next to me and leans his head on my leg, as if he is trying to comfort me. Last year, I was sick and had to stay in bed for a week. Max stayed by my bed the whole time. He brought me my toys and even fetched a glass of water for me once (with my help, of course!). However, having a pet is not always easy. We have to take good care of Max. Every day, we feed him twice a day and give him fresh water. We also take him to the vet for check-ups every six months. Sometimes he chews my shoes or makes a mess at home, but I still love him very much. Max has brought so much happiness to my life. He is my best friend, and I know he will always be there for me.

There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends” and “best friends”. The first kind of friends is almost an acquaintance (熟人). All you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friends at school, at work, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friends does something bad, you don’t tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. The second kind of friends could also be called “social partners”. 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 histories. You may have the same interest and often do something together in your free time, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or dreams, and they don’t open up to you how they really feel. The last kind of friends, the “best friend” is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family members, 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 help you when you’re wrong. Sometimes they may not be perfect, but at least they will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you. We all have our pest, guest and best friends. We should value all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances. 1．If you and John are neighbors and classmates, and do things together, but don’t share your feelings, you are “________”. A．pest friends B．guest friends C．best friends D．true friends 2．The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ________. A．how to make a best friend B．how to learn from your best friends C．what a best friend is D．when a best friend can help you 3．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? ①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2 ③=Paragraph 3 ④=Paragraph 4 ⑤=Paragraph 5 A．①/②③④⑤ B．①/②③④/⑤ C．①/②/③④⑤ D．①/②/③/④/⑤ 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Pest friends are more important than guest friends. B．We miss our best friends when we’re not with them. C．A best friend hardly does anything bad to you. D．A “pest friend” will never become your best friend. During the Tang Dynasty, there was an official in Yunnan. He wanted to show his respect for Emperor Taizong, so he sent a man named Mian Bogao to take some gifts to the emperor. One of the gifts was a beautiful swan.   Mian had to travel from Yunnan to Chang’an, the then capital of China. It was a long way. He took good care of the swan because it was a very important gift at that time. So he kept it in a cage to make sure that it wouldn’t run away.   One day, Mian passed by a river. He got down from his horse to drink some water. Then he put a bowl of water in front of the cage, so the swan could drink it. But when he came close to the cage, he found the swan became very dirty during the trip. Its beautiful feathers weren’t white any more. Mian carefully let it out of the cage. He brought it over to the river, so he could quickly wash it. However, as soon as he finished washing the swan, it flew away.   Mian tried to catch the swan, but he only got a feather. He was very worried. However, he didn’t run away. Instead, he decided to tell the emperor what happened. So he continued his trip.   When Mian finally arrived in Chang’an, he met Emperor Taizong and showed him the feather. Everyone was shocked. Mian told the emperor the whole story and said, “The swan feather is light, but it carries my deep respect for you.” Emperor Taizong was happy with Mian’s honesty and rewarded him. 1．Why did Mian Bogao keep the swan in a cage? A．Because he was afraid that it would fly away. B．Because he wanted to sell it on the way. C．Because he was showing respect for it. D．Because he wanted to keep it clean. 2．What did Mian Bogao do after the swan flew away? A．He ran away at once. B．He caught another white swan. C．He decided to tell the emperor the truth. D．He bought another white swan. 3．What can you learn from the story? A．We shouldn’t buy any expensive gifts. B．The love and respect behind the gift is the most important. C．Swan feather is a perfect gift for friends. D．Only gifts can show our love and respect for friends. 二、U2单元话题热点预测 The school sports meet is coming. Many students are getting ready for it.

Here are some practical tips to help you improve your listening skills. First, listen to short English materials. You can try English songs, short podcasts or news clips. Don’t choose long materials at first—short ones are easier to follow. When you listen to songs, you can read the lyrics (歌词) at the same time. This helps you connect words with sounds. Second, listen every day. You don’t need to spend hours listening. Even 10 to 15 minutes a day is enough. For example, you can listen while eating breakfast or walking to school. Regular practice is more useful than listening for a long time once a week. Third, ask for help. If you don’t understand a part, you can listen again. You can also ask your English teacher or classmates to explain it to you. Some apps even have a “repeat” function to help you listen to difficult parts again. Fourth, take notes. When you listen, write down key words like names, numbers or places. This helps you remember important information and review later. 1．What short materials can you listen to for English listening? A．Long novels. B．English songs or short podcasts. C．TV plays. D．Magazines. 2．How long do you need to listen to English every day? A．10 to 15 minutes. B．2 to 3 hours. C．All day. D．No time. 3．What can you do if you don’t understand a part? A．Stop listening. B．Listen again or ask for help. C．Read a book. D．Watch TV. 4．Why should you take notes while listening? A．To learn to write faster. B．To remember key information. C．To read better. D．To talk with others. ① Lifelong learners never think of themselves as the greatest experts in anything. Instead, they believe that learning never stops and that there’s always something new to discover. Because they keep learning, they contribute a lot to the groups they’re part of, whether it’s at school, in clubs, or even with family and friends. They share fresh ideas and help others grow too. But what exactly makes them stand out? Here are some key characteristics: ② They are knowledge seekers. If they’re interested in a topic, they’ll dig deep to learn more. They don’t just stick to one book or website—they search everywhere for information. They also look for new experiences, like workshops or hands-on activities, to improve their skills. ③ They are social and self-directed learners. They like taking different courses and taking part in discussions about subjects they are interested in. They learn from and with others. They also know their own learning styles. They can plan and organize their own learning. ④ They are critical (批判性的) thinkers. Lifelong learners don’t just accept information blindly. They ask questions, check facts, and use different methods to analyze information. For example, if they’re researching a topic, they’ll compare sources to make sure the information is accurate and useful. ⑤ They are problem solvers. Learning isn’t always easy, and they’ll face challenges along the way. But instead of giving up, they see problems as chances to grow. They think creatively, try different strategies (策略), and learn from their mistakes. This helps them become stronger and more confident over time. ⑥ In short, lifelong learners stay curious, enjoy working with others, think carefully about information, and see challenges as chances to grow. These qualities not only help them succeed but also encourage people around them.

Before you read this article, let’s take a look at the Chinese sentence on the right picture. Did you notice that some of the characters in the sentence are in the wrong order? You might not realize it, but you can read and understand it well, right? If you didn’t catch it right away, you’re not alone. This is known as “typoglycemia”, where people can still understand disordered words as long as the first and last letters (or characters) are in place. When we’re first learning how to read, we read word by word. But after we become more experienced, we read in full phrases and even sentences. People can read five to six words at one time, Also, as experienced readers, we take the things we’re familiar with for granted (理所当然). We don’t pay as much attention to small details (细节). When we read something we’re familiar with, we may think all the words are in the right order. This is like when meeting a person with long hair, we think the person is a girl without taking a closer look. ★ . For example, you might still understand “belive” as “believe” or “tihs” as “this” at a quick look. It is believed that humans remember the meanings of words mostly by their shape and layout (布局), rather than the order of the letters. However, we cannot read disordered sentences as quickly as we read normal texts. In short, our brains are amazing, but they can be a little lazy when dealing with words! 1．Why does the writer mention the Chinese sentence at the beginning? A．To test readers’ Chinese level. B．To explain language rules. C．To build reader’s national pride. D．To raise readers’ interest in the topic. 2．What is “typoglycemia”? A．The skill to read very fast. B．The illness that makes reading difficult. C．The ability to read disordered sentences. D．The problem of forgetting words easily. 3．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．This also works with English words B．This problem is hard to solve C．We should check spellings carefully D．All languages have the same rule 4．According to paragraph 3, how can people remember words better? A．By reading word by word. B．By making word cards. C．By writing words again and again. D．By reading word groups. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How we can read quickly and correctly. B．Letter order is not important in reading. C．Why we can still read disordered words. D．Experience makes reading more exciting. 四、U4单元话题热点预测 DIY is a fun and useful hobby.
