I preferred finishing tasks alone and thought teammates would slow me down. Last month, our teacher asked us to make a poster about school culture in groups. At first, our group argued a lot. Everyone had different ideas. Later, our group leader suggested listening to each other. We divided work according to our strengths: I collected information, another classmate drew pictures and the rest wrote words. We spent three afternoons improving our poster. Finally, our work won praise in class. I realized group work is not about winning alone. Teamwork helps us learn from each other and produce better results.

Passage 3 （改编自广东惠州高一期中｜议论文：平衡社团与学业） Many high school students join after-school clubs. Some parents worry that club activities will take up too much study time and lead to poor grades. However, properly managed club activities are helpful for teenagers. Clubs offer chances to develop skills that textbooks cannot teach. For example, debate clubs improve public speaking; sports clubs build up students’ bodies. Besides, students can meet friends with the same interests and reduce study pressure. Still, balance matters most. Students should set clear time limits for club activities. If schoolwork becomes worse, they need to cut down club time. Clubs are a valuable part of high school life, but study remains the main task for students. 1. What is some parents’ attitude towards school clubs? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Uninterested. D. Excited. 2. Which benefit of clubs is mentioned in the text? A. Helping students finish homework faster. B. Offering skills not learnt from textbooks. C.

Reasons why students love after-school clubs. C. The value of clubs and the importance of balance. D. Difficulties students meet in club activities. Passage 4 （改编自上海徐汇高一期中｜夹叙夹议文：主动寻求老师帮助） Many freshmen feel nervous to turn to teachers when meeting study problems. This was true of me in the first month of senior high. I fell behind in math but dared not ask my teacher for help. I feared he would think I was lazy or slow. One day my math teacher noticed my low marks. He invited me to his office and told me asking questions was a good habit. He patiently explained my mistakes. After that, I went to his office once a week to clear my puzzles. Slowly my math improved. High school teachers are ready to support students. Asking for help does not mean you are weak. It shows you are active and responsible for your own study. Don’t keep your difficulties to yourself. 1. Why didn’t the writer ask the math teacher for help at first? A. The teacher was too busy. B. He thought the subject was easy. C.

Here are practical tips from family experts. Choose the right time. Do not start a serious talk when either side is tired or busy. Dinner time or a quiet walk after supper works better than moments full of stress. Listen before replying. When your parents share worries, do not cut them off. Try to understand their feelings instead of arguing right away. Even if you disagree, stay calm. Express yourself properly. Use “I” statements. Say “I feel stressed with heavy homework” rather than “You never understand me”. This reduces conflict. Accept differences. Parents and teens may hold different opinions on hobbies or screen time. Not every problem needs a win-or-lose result. Compromise (妥协) helps keep peace. If misunderstandings last long, turn to your teacher or family adviser for help. Good communication takes time and patience from both parents and kids. 1. When is the proper time for teens to have serious talks with parents? A. When they are busy with homework. B. During a relaxing walk after dinner. C. When parents feel angry at mistakes. D. Right after a quarrel. 2. What should teenagers do while parents are speaking? A. Stop them and argue at once. B. Keep silent and refuse to reply. C. Listen carefully before responding. D. Write down all their requirements. 3. Why does the expert advise using “I” statements? A. To avoid unnecessary conflicts. B. To show teenagers are cleverer. C. To make parents give in easily. D. To prove teens’ independence. 4. What is the text intended for? A. Teachers to manage family conflicts. B. Parents to control teenagers. C. Teenagers to improve family communication. D. Experts to study family education. Passage 2 （改编江苏苏州高一期中｜记叙文：读懂沉默的父爱） When I entered senior high, I thought my father cared little about my life. He seldom talked with me and never praised my progress. Every time I showed him my exam reports, he only reminded me to keep working harder. I felt upset and distant from him. Last month I stayed late at school to prepare for a competition. It rained heavily and I had no umbrella. Standing at the school gate, I worried about how to get home. Then I saw my father. He held an umbrella and waited quietly in the rain. On the way home, he kept the umbrella over me while his own shoulder got wet. That night, I found his diary by chance. In it, he wrote down every small change of my high school life. He was proud of my courage but feared too much praise might make me self-satisfied. I suddenly realized his love was quiet rather than warm words. Since then, I try to notice his silent care. I also share my daily stories actively with him. 1. How did the writer feel about his father at the beginning? A. His father was too talkative. B. His father paid little attention to him. C. His father was too strict with money. D. His father hated school competitions. 2. Why did the father wait for the writer at school? A. To check his competition paper. B. To bring him an umbrella in heavy rain. C. To talk about his bad grades. D. To pick up his forgotten schoolbag. 3. What can we infer from the father’s diary? A.

Parents work overtime and teenagers spend time on homework or mobile phones, so family dinners become rare. Some people believe it is just a waste of time. However, researchers point out regular family meals benefit parent-child relationships greatly. During dinner, family members share daily stories without heavy pressure. Teens are more willing to talk about their worries at school when sitting at the dinner table. Parents can know more about their children’s inner world instead of asking direct and boring questions. Studies also show teenagers who often have family dinners have better self-control and fewer mental problems. They are less likely to keep secrets from their parents. Family meals are not just about food. They create safe space for communication. Still, family meals do not require long preparation. Simple home-cooked food works fine. What really matters is face-to-face communication rather than perfect dishes. 1. Why do many families seldom have dinners together now? A. They prefer eating out in restaurants. B. Busy work and study take up their time. C. They think home cooking is troublesome. D. Teens refuse to eat with their parents. 2. What advantage of family dinners is mentioned? A. Helping teens get higher marks directly. B. Offering a relaxing chance for family talk. C. Saving much money for busy families. D. Teaching teenagers cooking skills quickly. 3. What does the underlined word “rare” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Easy. B. Common. C. Unusual. D. Boring. 4. What is the author’s opinion? A. Family dinners need expensive delicious food. B. Direct questions are the best way to know teens. C. Regular family meals help build close family ties. D. Mobile phones should be used during family dinners. Passage 4 （改编上海闵行高一期中｜夹叙夹议文：给父母一点包容） When I first became a high school student, I expected my parents to fully understand my choices. I argued with them many times over my hobbies and future plans. I thought they were old-fashioned and failed to respect my wishes. One talk with my teacher changed my mind. My teacher told me that parents also face pressure from work and life. They do not know everything about teenage culture. Their advice often comes from their own life experience, though it may not fit our modern world. They are also ordinary people who make mistakes. I started to see my parents from a new angle. Last month, my mom misunderstood my after-school activity. Instead of shouting, I calmly explained my plan and listened to her worries. We reached an agreement at last. Parent-child relationship is two-way. We always ask parents to respect us, but we also need to understand their limits. True family love requires not only parents’ patience but also teenagers’ tolerance. Mutual understanding is the key to a harmonious family. 1. Why did the writer argue with his parents at first? A. His parents forbade him to go to senior high. B. They disagreed about his hobbies and plans. C. His parents refused to pay for his textbooks. D. They fought about housework every day. 2.

Passage 2 （改编江苏扬州高一期中｜记叙文：矛盾和解，读懂朋友） My best friend Li Mei and I got into a serious quarrel last month. We had planned to take part in the school English speech contest together. But she refused at the last minute because she wanted to prepare for a math exam. I felt betrayed and stopped talking to her. For nearly two weeks, we avoided each other in class. I was upset and thought she valued her exam more than our friendship. One afternoon, our deskmate told me Li Mei had been worrying about her poor math grades and dared not take time off for the contest. She also felt guilty for breaking our promise. Later I found Li Mei and had an honest talk. I learned that she did not mean to hurt me. We agreed to join the contest next term. She also asked me to help practice her oral English, while I could turn to her for math help. This quarrel taught me that friendship is not free from disagreements.

However, experts say quality matters more than quantity when it comes to friendship. One or two close friends can bring more happiness than dozens of casual friends. Close friends offer emotional support. When you feel stressed or upset, a true friend can listen patiently and cheer you up. They point out your weaknesses gently instead of praising everything you do blindly. They encourage you to become a better person. In contrast, many casual friends only stay with you when things go well. They may disappear when you meet trouble. This kind of friendship cannot stand tests. Besides, keeping too many social relationships takes much time and energy, which influences students’ study. To build close friendship, honesty and respect are necessary. True friendship needs care from both sides. It grows slowly and cannot be built in one day. Teenagers should focus more on deep and sincere connections rather than just chasing a large circle of friends. 1. What do many teenagers think about friendship? A. A small number of close friends is enough. B. Having more friends equals being popular. C. True friendship needs no time to develop. D. Casual friends are more helpful in trouble. 2. What can close friends do according to the text? A. Praise all your actions without doubt. B. Leave you when you face difficulties. C. Give proper advice and emotional support. D. Help you make more new friends quickly. 3. What disadvantage of too many casual friends is mentioned? A. They will ask you for money often. B. They waste your time and energy. C. They will stop you making close friends. D. They may spread your secrets. 4. What is the main idea of the text? A. How to make as many friends as possible. B. Why teenagers need to join social activities. C. Quality of friendship is more important than quantity. D. Ways to end bad friendships with casual friends. Passage 4 （改编上海杨浦高一期中｜夹叙夹议文：朋友之间学会支持彼此成长） I used to think good friends should share all the same hobbies and goals. When my best friend decided to join the school track team, I felt uncomfortable. We used to spend almost all free time reading books together. I feared our friendship would change and we would grow apart. One day, after her running training, she told me she loved running but still valued our reading time. She invited me to read together after her practice. At first I worried we had less in common. Gradually, I realized friends do not have to copy each other’s choices. True friendship allows each person to follow their own dreams. We can cheer for our friends when they try new things, even if we do not take part. It does not mean our bond becomes weaker. Instead, we learn to respect each other’s separate growth. Friendship is not locking two people in the same life path. It is two people walking side by side while each becomes a better version of themselves. 1. Why did the writer feel uncomfortable about her friend’s choice? A. Her friend refused to read books any longer. B. She worried their friendship would change. C. She wanted to join the track team too. D. Her friend laughed at her love for reading. 2. What did the friend promise to do? A. Give up running and read all day. B.

B. Friends should stop each other trying new hobbies. C. True friendship accepts different personal choices. D. Different hobbies will surely break friendship. 4. What message does the text convey? A. Friends should keep exactly the same life path. B. Real friendship supports each other’s growth. C. Friends should spend all free time together. D. Hobbies are the only base of friendship. 话题4 运动与健康（共4篇） Passage 1 （改编浙江台州高一期中｜应用文：校园健身周活动通知） School Fitness Week To improve students’ health and reduce pressure from heavy schoolwork, our school will hold Fitness Week from Oct.23 to Oct.27.

My PE teacher suggested trying daily jogging. At first, I doubted it. I thought I had no spare time and feared I would feel exhausted. I decided to have a try. I started with 10 minutes of slow jogging after school. On the first few days, my legs ached badly and I wanted to give up. But I kept telling myself not to quit. Gradually, I lengthened my time to 25 minutes. After two months, great changes took place. I became energetic in class. My memory improved and I could finish homework more efficiently. Jogging also calmed my mood when I felt anxious about exams. I learned that exercise is not a waste of study time. Proper sports refresh our brain and help us study better. Now I keep this habit and encourage my classmates to take exercise too. 1. What problem did the writer have at the beginning? A. He was bad at PE exams. B.

Passage 3 （改编广东汕头高一期中｜议论文：青少年运动误区） Many teenagers hold wrong ideas about exercise. Some believe sports must be tiring and intense to work. Others try to exercise for several hours at a time to keep fit quickly. However, these ideas may bring health risks. Experts say teenagers do not need hard, long training. Moderate daily activity, such as brisk walking, rope skipping or cycling for 30 minutes, works well. It improves blood circulation and helps relax tight muscles after long-time sitting. Another common misunderstanding is that exercise is only for weight loss. In fact, regular exercise benefits teenagers in more ways. It reduces stress, lifts spirits and improves sleep quality. Good sleep, in return, supports brain development and learning ability. Besides, proper rest matters as much as exercise. Muscles repair themselves during rest. Too much exercise without rest may lead to injury. Teenagers should build gentle, steady exercise habits instead of seeking fast results. 1. What do some teenagers think exercise should be like? A. Short and easy. B. Tiring and intense. C. Done once a week. D. Only outdoor activities. 2. Which activity belongs to moderate exercise according to the text? A. Marathon running. B. Brisk walking. C. Weightlifting for hours. D. Long-distance swimming for 3 hours. 3. What is another misunderstanding teenagers have? A. Exercise can improve sleep. B. Rest is important for muscles. C. Exercise is just to lose weight. D. Light exercise is helpful. 4. What is the main idea of the text? A. Different kinds of popular sports for teens. B. How to lose weight quickly through sports. C. Teenagers’ wrong exercise ideas and expert advice. D. Ways to avoid sports injury in competitions. Passage 4 （改编上海普陀高一期中｜夹叙夹议文：团队运动教会我的品质） I used to practice sports alone and thought team sports were troublesome. Last term, I joined the school volleyball team. At first, I only cared about my own performance. I wanted to score points and ignored my teammates’ needs. As a result, our team lost several matches. Our coach talked with me seriously. He told me volleyball is never a one-person game. Success depends on communication and teamwork. Each player has a special role. No one can win alone. I started to adjust myself. I passed the ball actively and cheered for teammates during practice. Slowly our team improved. We still failed sometimes, but we supported each other instead of blaming anyone. Playing volleyball brought me more than physical fitness. It taught me patience, responsibility and cooperation. Sports build not only strong bodies but also good personalities. Physical health and mental growth go hand in hand. This is the greatest gift team sports bring to teenagers. 1. Why did the writer’s team lose matches at first? A. They had no professional coach. B. The writer only thought about himself. C. Members were not strong enough. D. They had too little practice time. 2. What did the coach tell the writer? A. Volleyball players must score as many points as possible. B. One excellent player can win all matches alone. C. Team sports require communication and teamwork. D. Players should never make mistakes in games. 3. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. The team never lost any games later. B. They learned to support one another. C. The writer left the volleyball team soon. D. They blamed each other after failures. 4. What message does the text convey? A. Team sports shape both body and character. B. Winning matches is the only goal of sports. C. Individual sports are better for teenagers. D. Sports training is more important than study. 话题5 科技与生活（共4篇） Passage 1 （改编浙江杭州高一期中｜说明文：校园智能图书馆） Smart libraries have been widely built in many high schools.

When you enter the smart library, you only need to scan your student ID card. Books with electronic chips can be checked out in seconds. The system records your borrowing information automatically and sends reminders before the deadline. If books are overdue, the system will send messages to warn readers. Besides self-service borrowing, the smart library can collect reading data. It records which kinds of books students prefer.

Passage 2 （改编江苏无锡高一期中｜说明文：VR 技术在课堂中的应用） Virtual Reality (VR) is changing classroom learning. It creates a 3D world for students through special equipment, allowing learners to “visit” places that are hard to reach in real life. In geography classes, students can “stand” on top of high mountains or walk through rainforests without leaving the classroom. In biology lessons, they can observe animal habitats closely. For dangerous chemistry experiments, VR offers safe virtual practice, so students can learn operation skills without risk. Researchers say VR helps improve students’ attention. When students are put into the virtual environment, they become more active and curious about knowledge. However, VR also has limits. Long-time wearing of VR glasses may cause eye tiredness.

In class, students can use the tool to record teachers’ words. After class, they check the AI-generated text and mark key knowledge points. It saves much time spent writing and lets students focus more on listening and thinking instead of busy handwriting. Still, AI note tools are not perfect. Sometimes they make mistakes when recognizing words, especially special terms. Users need to read and correct the text carefully. Experts warn students not to depend totally on AI. Listening and independent thinking cannot be replaced by any tool. AI is a helpful helper rather than a replacement. The best way is to combine AI records with one’s own thinking and handwritten notes. 1. What is the main function of AI note-taking tools? A. Correct students’ homework automatically. B. Change speech into written text right away. C. Help students finish homework. D. Mark exam papers quickly. 2. What advantage does the tool bring to students? A.

The text cannot be saved for later use. 4. What is the author’s opinion on AI note tools? A. Students should fully depend on AI for study. B. AI can take the place of listening and thinking. C. AI works best when used together with independent thinking. D. AI note tools are useless for high school students. 话题6 环境保护（共4篇） Passage 1 （改编浙江金华高一期中｜说明文：校园垃圾分类） Waste sorting has become a common practice in many high schools. It means dividing rubbish into different groups so that useful materials can be recycled and harmful waste can be dealt with safely. At school, rubbish falls into four main kinds. Paper and cardboard belong to recyclable waste. Leftover food is kitchen waste. Batteries and expired medicine are harmful waste. Other rubbish like dirty plastic bags goes into residual waste. Special colored bins are placed in classrooms and hallways to tell them apart. Waste sorting brings clear benefits. Recycled paper and plastic reduce the need to cut trees and produce new materials. Proper treatment stops harmful waste from polluting soil and underground water. However, many students still mix different rubbish together because they cannot remember the rules. Schools provide posters and short lectures to improve students’ awareness. Protecting the environment does not always require big actions. Small habits like correct waste sorting can make a real difference. 1. What is the purpose of waste sorting? A. To make school cleaner only for visitors. B. To recycle useful materials and treat dangerous waste safely. C. To reduce the amount of homework. D. To collect old books for poor students. 2. Which item should be put into harmful waste bin? A. Used batteries. B. Waste paper. C. Leftover rice. D. Dirty plastic bags. 3. Why do some students fail to sort rubbish correctly? A. There are no bins in school. B. They forget the sorting rules. C. They think sorting is useless. D. No one checks the rubbish. 4. What is the main idea of the text? A. The rules and value of school waste sorting. B. Different kinds of natural pollution. C. Ways to produce recyclable plastic. D. The history of waste recycling in cities. Passage 2 （改编江苏常州高一期中｜说明文：城市湿地的生态功能） Wetlands refer to land areas covered with shallow water all year or for part of the year, including lakes, marshes and river edges. Often called “the earth’s kidneys”, wetlands play an important role in protecting our environment. Wetlands can store rainwater during heavy storms and release water in dry seasons. In this way, they prevent floods and fight droughts. Besides, wetland plants take in carbon dioxide and filter dirty water. They trap waste materials and make water cleaner before it flows into rivers or seas. Wetlands are also home to many kinds of birds, fish and plants. They provide food and shelter for wildlife. However, many wetlands have disappeared in recent decades. Some were filled to build houses or farms. Pollution also damages wetland plants and animals. Now governments are taking action. They stop illegal development and build wetland protection areas. Protecting wetlands means saving not only wildlife but also ourselves. 1. Why are wetlands called “the earth’s kidneys”? A. They produce plenty of fresh water for people. B. They clean water and balance water resources. C. They can grow many kinds of fruit trees. D. They are rich in mineral resources. 2. What function of wetlands is mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. Preventing floods and droughts. B. Producing electricity. C. Supplying farm land. D. Reducing city noise. 3. What does the underlined word “shelter” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Food supply. B. Living place. C. Warm climate. D. Natural enemy. 4. What problem do wetlands face now? A. Too much wildlife lives there. B. They are reduced and polluted. C. Rainwater cannot flow into them. D. They produce too much carbon dioxide. Passage 3 （改编广东珠海高一期中｜说明文：一次性塑料污染） Single-use plastic products such as plastic bags and disposable tableware are widely used around the world. They are cheap and convenient, but they create serious environmental problems. Most plastic cannot break down quickly. It may take hundreds of years to disappear naturally. Lots of plastic waste flows into oceans every year. Sea animals may eat plastic pieces by mistake or get trapped in plastic nets. Many of them die from this. Plastic also pollutes farmland and harms soil organisms. People have tried several solutions. Some places ban single-use plastic bags. Shops encourage customers to bring reusable cloth bags. New biodegradable plastic materials are also developed. Such materials can break down in months under proper conditions. Even with new technology, reducing plastic use is still the most useful method. Recycling and new materials help, but cutting down our need for plastic is the key to solving plastic pollution. 1. What advantage makes single-use plastic popular? A. It breaks down quickly. B. It is cheap and convenient. C. It can feed sea animals. D. It improves soil quality. 2. What danger does ocean plastic bring to sea life? A. It provides new food for sea animals. B. It may be eaten by sea creatures or trap them. C. It speeds up the growth of sea plants. D. It makes ocean water warmer. 3. What can biodegradable plastic do? A. Never turn into waste. B. Break down within months in right conditions. C. Be reused hundreds of times. D. Produce clean water. 4. What is the author’s main opinion? A. We should stop using all plastic completely. B. Reducing plastic use is the most important way to fight plastic pollution. C. New plastics can solve all ocean pollution. D. Plastic waste only harms oceans, not farmland. Passage 4 （改编上海宝山高一期中｜说明文：城市植树的多重价值） Planting trees in cities is an easy and effective way to improve urban environment. Trees offer many environmental benefits besides making cities more beautiful. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. They clean air by catching dust and harmful gases. In hot summer, tree canopies block sunlight and lower surrounding temperature. This reduces the need for air conditioning and saves energy. Tree roots also hold soil in place and reduce rainwater runoff on hard roads. City trees also bring social benefits. Green parks with trees help people reduce stress and improve mental health. They create quiet places for people to rest. However, city trees face challenges. Limited space, poor soil and pollution slow their growth. Some trees are cut down for new buildings. Experts say city tree planting needs careful planning. Choosing proper local tree species and protecting grown trees matter more than simply planting more trees. Green cities depend on long-term care rather than one-time planting activities. 1. How do trees improve city air? A. By producing carbon dioxide. B. By trapping dust and absorbing harmful gases. C. By cleaning waste water. D. By reducing city noise only. 2. What effect do trees have on temperature? A. They make winter much warmer. B. They cool nearby areas in summer. C. They keep the temperature unchanged all year. D. They increase temperature on hot days. 3. What challenge do city trees meet? A. Too much space for growth. B. Rich and deep soil. C. Limited space and polluted environment. D. Enough natural water. 4. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. We only need to plant as many trees as possible. B. Local suitable tree species and protection are important. C. Trees can grow well without any care in cities. D. Trees should be removed for every new building.

As early as the Han Dynasty, people cut patterns on paper for festivals and ceremonies. Paper-cut works are usually made with scissors or knives. Most works are red. Different patterns carry special meanings: flowers stand for beauty, fish symbolize surplus and wealth, while animals show people’s love for nature. They are widely used during the Spring Festival or weddings to express good wishes. Today, this art faces challenges. Few young people master the skills. To keep it alive, many schools set paper-cutting courses. Artists also mix traditional patterns with modern life, creating works about campus life and environmental protection. This helps young people accept and spread the art. 1. What can we know about paper-cutting? A. It appeared after the Tang Dynasty. B. It is China’s intangible cultural heritage. C. It is only used for wedding ceremonies. D. People only use knives to make it. 2. What does the pattern of fish mean in paper-cutting? A. Beauty. B. Good harvest and wealth. C. Peace. D. Courage. 3. What does the underlined word “surplus” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Extra. B. Loss. C. Danger. D. Trouble. 4. What is the main idea of the text? A. Different tools for making paper-cutting. B.

It combines agriculture, engineering and digital technology. Unlike traditional farmland, it does not depend on natural rainfall or rich soil. Indoor lights supply energy for plant growth. Water is recycled inside the system, cutting water use greatly. Crops grow near city centers, so transport distance becomes shorter and less carbon is produced. However, vertical farming costs much electricity. It also requires high technical skills to control temperature and light. Experts believe it is a useful supplement to traditional farming. As city population grows, vertical farming can help supply fresh vegetables and save land resources. It shows how technology helps solve food problems in crowded cities. 1. What is vertical farming? A. Growing plants outdoors on hills. B. Growing crops in stacked layers indoors. C. Planting crops only in natural soil. D. Raising animals inside tall buildings. 2. What advantage of vertical farming is mentioned? A. It uses less recycled water. B. It reduces carbon from transportation. C. It costs almost no electricity. D. It needs no technology support. 3. What challenge does vertical farming face? A. It takes up large farmland. B. It cannot grow vegetables. C. It consumes plenty of electric power. D. It needs lots of natural rainfall. 4.

I preferred finishing tasks alone and thought teammates would slow me down. Last month, our teacher asked us to make a poster about school culture in groups. At first, our group argued a lot.

We divided work according to our strengths: I collected information, another classmate drew pictures and the rest wrote words. We spent three afternoons improving our poster.

Some parents worry that club activities will take up too much study time and lead to poor grades. However, properly managed club activities are helpful for teenagers. Clubs offer chances to develop skills that textbooks cannot teach. For example, debate clubs improve public speaking; sports clubs build up students’ bodies. Besides, students can meet friends with the same interests and reduce study pressure. Still, balance matters most. Students should set clear time limits for club activities.

I fell behind in math but dared not ask my teacher for help. I feared he would think I was lazy or slow. One day my math teacher noticed my low marks. He invited me to his office and told me asking questions was a good habit. He patiently explained my mistakes. After that, I went to his office once a week to clear my puzzles. Slowly my math improved. High school teachers are ready to support students. Asking for help does not mean you are weak. It shows you are active and responsible for your own study.

Here are practical tips from family experts. Choose the right time. Do not start a serious talk when either side is tired or busy. Dinner time or a quiet walk after supper works better than moments full of stress. Listen before replying. When your parents share worries, do not cut them off. Try to understand their feelings instead of arguing right away. Even if you disagree, stay calm. Express yourself properly. Use “I” statements. Say “I feel stressed with heavy homework” rather than “You never understand me”. This reduces conflict. Accept differences. Parents and teens may hold different opinions on hobbies or screen time. Not every problem needs a win-or-lose result. Compromise (妥协) helps keep peace. If misunderstandings last long, turn to your teacher or family adviser for help. Good communication takes time and patience from both parents and kids. 1. When is the proper time for teens to have serious talks with parents? A. When they are busy with homework. B. During a relaxing walk after dinner. C. When parents feel angry at mistakes. D. Right after a quarrel. 2. What should teenagers do while parents are speaking? A. Stop them and argue at once. B. Keep silent and refuse to reply. C. Listen carefully before responding. D. Write down all their requirements. 3. Why does the expert advise using “I” statements? A. To avoid unnecessary conflicts. B. To show teenagers are cleverer. C. To make parents give in easily. D. To prove teens’ independence. 4. What is the text intended for? A. Teachers to manage family conflicts. B. Parents to control teenagers. C. Teenagers to improve family communication. D. Experts to study family education. 答案 & 解析 1. B 细节题。原文Dinner time or a quiet walk after supper works better than moments full of stress。 2. C 细节题。Listen before replying，在回应前认真倾听。 3. A 细节题。原文说明这种表达方式可以减少冲突 reduces conflict。 4. C 主旨题。全文给青少年提供和父母沟通的实用建议。 Passage 2 （改编江苏苏州高一期中｜记叙文：读懂沉默的父爱） When I entered senior high, I thought my father cared little about my life. He seldom talked with me and never praised my progress. Every time I showed him my exam reports, he only reminded me to keep working harder. I felt upset and distant from him. Last month I stayed late at school to prepare for a competition. It rained heavily and I had no umbrella. Standing at the school gate, I worried about how to get home. Then I saw my father. He held an umbrella and waited quietly in the rain. On the way home, he kept the umbrella over me while his own shoulder got wet. That night, I found his diary by chance. In it, he wrote down every small change of my high school life. He was proud of my courage but feared too much praise might make me self-satisfied. I suddenly realized his love was quiet rather than warm words. Since then, I try to notice his silent care.

Parents work overtime and teenagers spend time on homework or mobile phones, so family dinners become rare. Some people believe it is just a waste of time. However, researchers point out regular family meals benefit parent-child relationships greatly. During dinner, family members share daily stories without heavy pressure. Teens are more willing to talk about their worries at school when sitting at the dinner table. Parents can know more about their children’s inner world instead of asking direct and boring questions. Studies also show teenagers who often have family dinners have better self-control and fewer mental problems. They are less likely to keep secrets from their parents. Family meals are not just about food. They create safe space for communication. Still, family meals do not require long preparation. Simple home-cooked food works fine. What really matters is face-to-face communication rather than perfect dishes. 1. Why do many families seldom have dinners together now? A. They prefer eating out in restaurants. B. Busy work and study take up their time. C. They think home cooking is troublesome. D. Teens refuse to eat with their parents. 2. What advantage of family dinners is mentioned? A. Helping teens get higher marks directly. B. Offering a relaxing chance for family talk. C. Saving much money for busy families. D. Teaching teenagers cooking skills quickly. 3.

B 细节题。父母加班，学生忙于作业手机，占用共同就餐时间。 2. B 细节题。晚餐时家人可以无压力分享日常，创造轻松交流机会。 3. C 词义猜测。现代家庭很少一起吃饭，rare 意为 “少见的，不常发生的”，等同于 unusual。 4. C 主旨题。作者认为规律家庭聚餐有助于建立亲密的亲子纽带。 Passage 4 （改编上海闵行高一期中｜夹叙夹议文：给父母一点包容） When I first became a high school student, I expected my parents to fully understand my choices. I argued with them many times over my hobbies and future plans. I thought they were old-fashioned and failed to respect my wishes. One talk with my teacher changed my mind. My teacher told me that parents also face pressure from work and life. They do not know everything about teenage culture. Their advice often comes from their own life experience, though it may not fit our modern world. They are also ordinary people who make mistakes. I started to see my parents from a new angle. Last month, my mom misunderstood my after-school activity. Instead of shouting, I calmly explained my plan and listened to her worries. We reached an agreement at last. Parent-child relationship is two-way. We always ask parents to respect us, but we also need to understand their limits. True family love requires not only parents’ patience but also teenagers’ tolerance. Mutual understanding is the key to a harmonious family. 1. Why did the writer argue with his parents at first? A. His parents forbade him to go to senior high. B. They disagreed about his hobbies and plans. C. His parents refused to pay for his textbooks. D. They fought about housework every day. 2.

One afternoon, our deskmate told me Li Mei had been worrying about her poor math grades and dared not take time off for the contest. She also felt guilty for breaking our promise. Later I found Li Mei and had an honest talk. I learned that she did not mean to hurt me. We agreed to join the contest next term.

However, experts say quality matters more than quantity when it comes to friendship. One or two close friends can bring more happiness than dozens of casual friends. Close friends offer emotional support. When you feel stressed or upset, a true friend can listen patiently and cheer you up. They point out your weaknesses gently instead of praising everything you do blindly. They encourage you to become a better person. In contrast, many casual friends only stay with you when things go well. They may disappear when you meet trouble. This kind of friendship cannot stand tests. Besides, keeping too many social relationships takes much time and energy, which influences students’ study. To build close friendship, honesty and respect are necessary. True friendship needs care from both sides. It grows slowly and cannot be built in one day. Teenagers should focus more on deep and sincere connections rather than just chasing a large circle of friends. 1. What do many teenagers think about friendship? A. A small number of close friends is enough. B. Having more friends equals being popular. C. True friendship needs no time to develop. D. Casual friends are more helpful in trouble. 2. What can close friends do according to the text? A. Praise all your actions without doubt. B. Leave you when you face difficulties. C. Give proper advice and emotional support. D. Help you make more new friends quickly. 3. What disadvantage of too many casual friends is mentioned? A. They will ask you for money often. B. They waste your time and energy. C. They will stop you making close friends. D. They may spread your secrets. 4. What is the main idea of the text? A. How to make as many friends as possible. B. Why teenagers need to join social activities. C. Quality of friendship is more important than quantity. D. Ways to end bad friendships with casual friends. 答案 & 解析 1. B 细节理解。Many teenagers believe having as many friends as possible means popular。 2. C 细节理解。挚友会耐心倾听，温柔指出不足，给予情感支持。 3. B 细节理解。维持大量浅层社交耗费时间精力，影响学习。 4. C 主旨大意。文章核心观点：友谊重质不重量。 Passage 4 （改编上海杨浦高一期中｜夹叙夹议文：朋友之间学会支持彼此成长） I used to think good friends should share all the same hobbies and goals. When my best friend decided to join the school track team, I felt uncomfortable. We used to spend almost all free time reading books together. I feared our friendship would change and we would grow apart. One day, after her running training, she told me she loved running but still valued our reading time. She invited me to read together after her practice. At first I worried we had less in common. Gradually, I realized friends do not have to copy each other’s choices. True friendship allows each person to follow their own dreams. We can cheer for our friends when they try new things, even if we do not take part. It does not mean our bond becomes weaker. Instead, we learn to respect each other’s separate growth. Friendship is not locking two people in the same life path. It is two people walking side by side while each becomes a better version of themselves. 1. Why did the writer feel uncomfortable about her friend’s choice? A. Her friend refused to read books any longer. B. She worried their friendship would change. C. She wanted to join the track team too. D. Her friend laughed at her love for reading. 2. What did the friend promise to do? A. Give up running and read all day. B. Invite the writer to watch her races. C. Keep reading together after training. D. Help the writer practice running. 3. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. Good friends must have the same dreams. B. Friends should stop each other trying new hobbies. C. True friendship accepts different personal choices. D. Different hobbies will surely break friendship. 4. What message does the text convey? A. Friends should keep exactly the same life path. B. Real friendship supports each other’s growth. C. Friends should spend all free time together. D. Hobbies are the only base of friendship. 答案 & 解析 1. B 细节理解。I feared our friendship would change and we would grow apart，担心友谊改变，渐行渐远。 2. C 细节理解。朋友训练结束后依然邀请作者一起读书。 3. C 推理判断。真正的友谊允许朋友拥有不同选择，尊重各自的追求。 4. B 主旨大意。真正的友谊是彼此陪伴，互相支持对方成长。 话题4 运动与健康（共4篇） Passage 1 （改编浙江台州高一期中｜应用文：校园健身周活动通知） School Fitness Week To improve students’ health and reduce pressure from heavy schoolwork, our school will hold Fitness Week from Oct.23 to Oct.27.

I often felt tired and found it hard to focus in class. My PE teacher suggested trying daily jogging. At first, I doubted it. I thought I had no spare time and feared I would feel exhausted. I decided to have a try. I started with 10 minutes of slow jogging after school. On the first few days, my legs ached badly and I wanted to give up. But I kept telling myself not to quit. Gradually, I lengthened my time to 25 minutes. After two months, great changes took place. I became energetic in class. My memory improved and I could finish homework more efficiently.

Others try to exercise for several hours at a time to keep fit quickly. However, these ideas may bring health risks. Experts say teenagers do not need hard, long training. Moderate daily activity, such as brisk walking, rope skipping or cycling for 30 minutes, works well. It improves blood circulation and helps relax tight muscles after long-time sitting. Another common misunderstanding is that exercise is only for weight loss. In fact, regular exercise benefits teenagers in more ways. It reduces stress, lifts spirits and improves sleep quality. Good sleep, in return, supports brain development and learning ability. Besides, proper rest matters as much as exercise. Muscles repair themselves during rest. Too much exercise without rest may lead to injury. Teenagers should build gentle, steady exercise habits instead of seeking fast results. 1. What do some teenagers think exercise should be like? A. Short and easy. B. Tiring and intense. C. Done once a week. D. Only outdoor activities. 2. Which activity belongs to moderate exercise according to the text? A. Marathon running. B. Brisk walking. C. Weightlifting for hours. D. Long-distance swimming for 3 hours. 3. What is another misunderstanding teenagers have? A. Exercise can improve sleep. B. Rest is important for muscles. C. Exercise is just to lose weight. D. Light exercise is helpful. 4. What is the main idea of the text? A. Different kinds of popular sports for teens. B. How to lose weight quickly through sports. C. Teenagers’ wrong exercise ideas and expert advice. D. Ways to avoid sports injury in competitions. 答案 & 解析 1. B 细节理解。Some believe sports must be tiring and intense to work。 2. B 细节理解。文中举例 brisk walking、跳绳、骑行都属于适度运动。 3. C 细节理解。Another common misunderstanding is that exercise is only for weight loss。 4. C 主旨大意。文章指出青少年运动误区并给出专家健康建议。 Passage 4 （改编上海普陀高一期中｜夹叙夹议文：团队运动教会我的品质） I used to practice sports alone and thought team sports were troublesome. Last term, I joined the school volleyball team. At first, I only cared about my own performance. I wanted to score points and ignored my teammates’ needs. As a result, our team lost several matches. Our coach talked with me seriously. He told me volleyball is never a one-person game. Success depends on communication and teamwork. Each player has a special role. No one can win alone. I started to adjust myself. I passed the ball actively and cheered for teammates during practice. Slowly our team improved. We still failed sometimes, but we supported each other instead of blaming anyone. Playing volleyball brought me more than physical fitness. It taught me patience, responsibility and cooperation. Sports build not only strong bodies but also good personalities. Physical health and mental growth go hand in hand. This is the greatest gift team sports bring to teenagers. 1. Why did the writer’s team lose matches at first? A. They had no professional coach. B.

It means dividing rubbish into different groups so that useful materials can be recycled and harmful waste can be dealt with safely. At school, rubbish falls into four main kinds. Paper and cardboard belong to recyclable waste. Leftover food is kitchen waste. Batteries and expired medicine are harmful waste. Other rubbish like dirty plastic bags goes into residual waste. Special colored bins are placed in classrooms and hallways to tell them apart. Waste sorting brings clear benefits. Recycled paper and plastic reduce the need to cut trees and produce new materials. Proper treatment stops harmful waste from polluting soil and underground water. However, many students still mix different rubbish together because they cannot remember the rules.

Often called “the earth’s kidneys”, wetlands play an important role in protecting our environment. Wetlands can store rainwater during heavy storms and release water in dry seasons. In this way, they prevent floods and fight droughts. Besides, wetland plants take in carbon dioxide and filter dirty water. They trap waste materials and make water cleaner before it flows into rivers or seas. Wetlands are also home to many kinds of birds, fish and plants. They provide food and shelter for wildlife. However, many wetlands have disappeared in recent decades. Some were filled to build houses or farms. Pollution also damages wetland plants and animals. Now governments are taking action. They stop illegal development and build wetland protection areas. Protecting wetlands means saving not only wildlife but also ourselves. 1. Why are wetlands called “the earth’s kidneys”? A.

Trees offer many environmental benefits besides making cities more beautiful. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. They clean air by catching dust and harmful gases. In hot summer, tree canopies block sunlight and lower surrounding temperature. This reduces the need for air conditioning and saves energy. Tree roots also hold soil in place and reduce rainwater runoff on hard roads. City trees also bring social benefits. Green parks with trees help people reduce stress and improve mental health. They create quiet places for people to rest. However, city trees face challenges. Limited space, poor soil and pollution slow their growth. Some trees are cut down for new buildings. Experts say city tree planting needs careful planning. Choosing proper local tree species and protecting grown trees matter more than simply planting more trees. Green cities depend on long-term care rather than one-time planting activities. 1. How do trees improve city air? A. By producing carbon dioxide. B. By trapping dust and absorbing harmful gases. C. By cleaning waste water. D. By reducing city noise only. 2. What effect do trees have on temperature? A. They make winter much warmer. B. They cool nearby areas in summer. C.

As early as the Han Dynasty, people cut patterns on paper for festivals and ceremonies. Paper-cut works are usually made with scissors or knives. Most works are red. Different patterns carry special meanings: flowers stand for beauty, fish symbolize surplus and wealth, while animals show people’s love for nature. They are widely used during the Spring Festival or weddings to express good wishes. Today, this art faces challenges. Few young people master the skills. To keep it alive, many schools set paper-cutting courses. Artists also mix traditional patterns with modern life, creating works about campus life and environmental protection. This helps young people accept and spread the art. 1. What can we know about paper-cutting? A. It appeared after the Tang Dynasty. B. It is China’s intangible cultural heritage. C. It is only used for wedding ceremonies. D. People only use knives to make it. 2. What does the pattern of fish mean in paper-cutting? A. Beauty. B. Good harvest and wealth. C. Peace. D. Courage. 3. What does the underlined word “surplus” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Extra. B. Loss. C. Danger. D. Trouble. 4. What is the main idea of the text? A. Different tools for making paper-cutting. B. The history, symbolic meanings and inheritance of paper-cutting. C. The development of Chinese ancient paper-making. D. Reasons why red is popular in Chinese art. 答案 & 解析 1. B 细节题。首段点明剪纸是非物质文化遗产。 2.

B 主旨题。文章介绍剪纸历史、图案寓意以及当代传承方式。 Passage 2 （跨学科新情境｜改编上海高一期中，说明文，融合地理 + 生物） 语篇属于 “人与自然” 主题语境，融合农业、工程、信息技术跨学科知识。学生在获取信息的同时，思考人口、土地与粮食之间的关系，培养科学探究思维。训练学生读懂科技说明文，提升信息获取能力，发展思维品质。 Vertical Farming Vertical farming grows crops in stacked layers inside buildings. It combines agriculture, engineering and digital technology. Unlike traditional farmland, it does not depend on natural rainfall or rich soil. Indoor lights supply energy for plant growth. Water is recycled inside the system, cutting water use greatly. Crops grow near city centers, so transport distance becomes shorter and less carbon is produced.
