专题04 阅读表达三大常考话题 话题1 运动（常考点） 话题2 安全（常考点） 话题3 感受和情绪 话题1 运动 Passage 1 Fun in the Run The marathon (马拉松) is very popular all over the world. In China, for the first six months of this year, there were 133 marathons across the country. Teenagers also join marathons. Xu Qian, a 15-year-old boy from Suqian, Jiangsu, loves running. He got first place in the 5-kilometer Happy Run of the Suqian Marathon held on April 2. For Xu, the race meant months of training and preparation. He runs about 30 to 40 kilometers in local stadiums each week before the run. “Unlike the 800-meter run at school, a marathon is about a runner’s endurance (耐力) and psychological quality (心理素质),” he said. When he felt tired during the race, he told himself not to give up. “In long-distance running, the only opponent(对手) you have to beat is yourself,” Xu added. Kindness from the people around plays a big part in helping runners get to the finish line. Li Zhouzi from Shanxi joined a 3-kilometer Kid Run of the Berlin Marathon in Germany in 2019 when she was 10. The support from the people cheering along the course really encouraged her. “When things were hard, people around cheered me on. Even if it was just the words, keep it up,” Li said. She believes that running a marathon is about staying focused on the final goal, not the suffering along the way. “Our life is also a marathon,” Li said. 1．How long does Xu Qian run each week to get ready for the race? 2．According to Xu Qian, who do you have to beat in long-distance running? 3．What does Li Zhouzi think is a great help in her running? 4．Do you like the long-distance running, like 800-meter run? Why or why not? (Give two reasons.) Passage 2 We all know that running is good for our health. Have you ever thought that running is also good for the earth? Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win-win situation. Plogging is becoming increasingly popular after it started as an organizational activity in Sweden (瑞典). What is plogging? It is a term referring to the act of picking up litter while jogging. The term “plogging” is created by combining the English word “jogging” and “plocka upp”, a Swedish term that means “picking up”. Plogging is considered a perfect activity, as it is positive for the body. There’s no doubt that moving your body will do great things for your health, and plogging will also add some extra moves like squatting (蹲下) or bending (弯曲) your body. According to research, plogging for 10 minutes burns 48 calories, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories. Plogging is a movement that anyone can join. To get started, choose a plogging route that you know is heavily littered but still considered safe. Do not forget to bring your recyclable rubbish bags and gloves, as well as some hand sanitizer (消毒纸巾) if necessary. You can jog alone or in groups. You can do it early in the morning, or a bit before going to work, or even in the late afternoon. If you’re not much of a jogger, that’s okay! You can take a walk. Anything that suits you! It really does not matter whether you take a 2-mile jog or a 5-mile marathon, or just a 15-minute morning walk, the idea with plogging is that you do some physical exercise while helping to pick up litter! Every day, about 2 million people plog in over 100 countries. If you have a pair of gloves, a rubbish bag, and enjoy being outside, plogging may be right for you! It can also better our environment. 5．What is plogging? 6．What do you need to bring when you plog? 7．How many people plog in over 100 countries every day? 8．Do you think plogging can become more and more popular? Why or why not? ( Please give at least 2 reasons) Passage 3 The Sport of Concentration Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) promises to help me run farther and faster, sleep better, or monitor my heart rate more effectively. These gadgets state they’ll make me a “better me,” or so the story goes. Some of them might actually help, but a few months ago, I decided to sell all my sports gadgets. I now record my running times with just a pen and a notepad. Soon after, I started training for a marathon the old-fashioned way—without a device on my wrist tracking my pace or heart rate. To my surprise, running without all that information turned out to be a real joy. In the past, whenever my smartwatch told me I was running slower than I “should”, I’d force myself to speed up, even if it was clear that my body didn’t want to. But this time, I ran the way I wanted to. Many times, I was surprised to see real breakthroughs in my running times when I checked my notepad after workouts. If I had seen those numbers during the run, I might have slowed down. But since I didn’t know, I just kept running. Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate more on the running itself. Since I no longer feel like I need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about battery life. So, what’s the lesson here? Well, we could very easily replace the example of running with writing, studying, or anything else. No matter what it is, the more we worry about improving, the more it hurts our performance. Should you stop using technology to “improve” your performance? Of course, that’s up to you. However, if I were asked that question, I’d certainly say that I’m better off without it. 9．How does the writer record running times now? 10．How did the writer feel when he saw real breakthroughs in his running times? 11．What is another positive thing about not using running gadgets anymore? 12．What do you think of sports gadgets? Why do you think so? (give at least 2 reasons) Passage 4 Strength training, a type of exercise, is used to build strength, power, and endurance (耐力). Many adults do strength training, but is it safe and useful for children? People used to think that strength training was not useful and even dangerous for children, possibly causing injuries that could affect their growth. However, the latest study shows that strength training does improve children’s overall health. When children do strength training, they get stronger as their muscles (肌肉) grow! The strength training can most likely make them better, faster and stronger. “It is so beneficial for their bodies, like their bones, joints and metabolic (新陈代谢的) health,” says Becca Rigg, a professional trainer at a fitness center. She knows all about the positive effects of strength training. She takes her kids to strength workouts two to three times per week. “I also love the message teenagers receive when exercising this way: They may feel more confident when they finish such hard and tiring training. It is also rewarding for them to see results. They are, indeed, getting stronger while having a better image,” explains Rigg, “Sometimes they make strength training part of their life and it’s easier for them to get involved in the training later.” How do kids get started? Just like other activities, it is very important to learn the correct way to do it. For strength training, it is a must to learn from an experienced coach because the coach can make sure children do movements safely and correctly. In the early stage, it is best for teens to simply use their body weight, such as doing push-ups and squats. Bodyweight movements can then be made more difficult by adding equipment or weights, for example, a barbell or dumbbells. So, let’s cheer our kids on as they lift, pull, and push their way to a stronger future. With our support and care, they’ll grow up ready to take on whatever life throws at them. 13．What does the latest study show about strength training? 14．How often does Becca Rigg take her kids to strength workouts? 15．Why is it a must to learn from an experienced coach? 16．As a teenager, would you like to make strength training part of your life? Why? (Please give two reasons.) 话题2 安全 Passage 1 Accidents often happen in schools around the world. For this reason, the ICRC (红十字国际委员会) began its education program in 2017. First aid training in schools around the world is one of its plans. Kalida is a 16-year-old student who wants to become a doctor. She lives in Aghdam in Azerbaijan (阿塞拜疆). She took part in ICRC’s first aid training in 2021. One important lesson she learned was that in accidents everyone must take care of themselves first before helping others. Since attending the training, Kalida has already helped her friend who hurt his hand with broken glass. She even taught some students and her cousins some of the skills. “The training is important, ” Kalida said. “The teachers and students in our school used to know little about first aid. Now we can carry out some of the skills correctly in different situations.” Marisela teaches at a school in Venezuela (委内瑞拉). The most important thing Marisela learned from the first aid training was to stay calm in order to make her safe at the moment. The training has made her a strong and confident person and an excellent first aider (急救员). She and other teachers have already treated small injuries. Besides, they have taught their students some first aid skills. Thanks to the ICRC’s first aid training, many students and teachers, like Kalida and Marisela, have become professional first aiders. While bringing these skills back to their families and communities, they will always carry the feeling of safety, confidence and resilience (韧性) within themselves. 17．Why did the ICRC begin its education program around the world? 18．When did Kalida take part in ICRC’s first aid training? 19．What was the most important thing Marisela learned from the training? 20．What do you think of the training and why? Why? Write 30 words or more. Passage 2 A Southern California student named Madison Atkinson is regarded as her family’s hero. Madison, a 15-year-old girl, used CPR skills that she learned at school to help save her 3-year-old relative during a holiday gathering. It happened on Thanksgiving as family members were preparing dinner. Relatives at the Northridge home thought 3-year-old Maxine was inside playing with other kids. But surveillance (监控) video shows the little girl wandering into the backyard and leaning over the side of the pool, and then jumping or falling in. No one else was outside at the time, but a few minutes later Maxine’s uncle walked out to the yard and found her face down in the pool. He jumped in, pulled the little girl from the water and yelled for help. Several adults came outside but were only able to watch helplessly when efforts were made to revive (苏醒) the girl. When Madison saw what was happening, she knew exactly what to do. “I saw that he was trying the Heimlich (海姆利克氏操作法),” she recalled. “But I knew in that case we needed CPR because Maxine didn’t seem like she was breathing. I told everyone I knew CPR and it calmed everyone down.” “Then they just laid her down on the ground and I started CPR.” The little girl soon revived and her family says she has since recovered. Damian Gilbert says he is very proud of his stepdaughter. She was the only one in the house with CPR training and he finds it remarkable that she was able to take control and save a life. “I’m literally watching a 15-year-old girl basically bring back our niece, a 3-year-old, to life,” Gilbert said. “It was something that I’ll remember for the rest of my life.” 21．What did Madison use to help save her relative? 22．Who pulled the little girl from the water? 23．How does Damian Gilbert feel about his stepdaughter? 24．What do you think of Madison? Why do you think so? (Please give two reasons.) Passage 3 Natural disasters can hit anywhere, anytime, and being prepared is the key to staying safe. Earthquakes, typhoons (台风), and floods are common natural disasters that can cause terrible damage (破坏) and bring serious threats (威胁) to safety. Earthquakes suddenly shake the ground, often without warning. To stay safe during an earthquake, people had better “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” until the shaking stops. You can find a strong table to hide under and hold on. Typhoons, known as hurricanes or cyclones in other parts of the world, can lead to strong winds and too much rain. Before a typhoon arrives, storing necessary things like food, water, and batteries is important. Floods can happen when rivers run over because of too much rain. To prepare well, avoid building homes in the areas where floods often happen and place important electrical appliances (电器) up off the ground in your home. Having an emergency plan is also a must. By understanding these disasters and taking action, communities and people can reduce the risk of harm and recover (恢复) more quickly after disasters happen. 25．How many kinds of natural disasters are mentioned in the text? 26．Why are people advised to “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” until the shaking stops? 27．What can typhoons cause according to the text? 28．Which other disaster do you know and how can you keep safe in it? Write 30 words or more. Passage 4 Diana was shopping in a busy store after work one evening. Just five minutes before closing time, she heard a shop worker saying, “Someone’s having a seizure (疾病突发)”.   Walking quickly towards the shop worker, Diana saw a shopper on the ground. She was lying on the floor, jerking uncontrollably (控制不住地抽搐). A small group of people crowded to help the woman and a shop worker called an ambulance. Diana knew that she could use what she had learned from her first aid training to help as well.   “The seizure was very different from the way people usually move,” Diana said. “The woman’s movements were so powerful that her glasses flew off her face.” Knowing it was important to keep the woman safe, one of the workers brought over a worker jacket and put it under the woman’s head so she wouldn’t hurt herself. “The seizure probably lasted only a few minutes, but it seemed much longer while it was going on,” Diana said, “When the jerking stopped, a man helped turn the woman onto her side. I then tilted (倾斜) her head back to help her keep breathing (呼吸). After the seizure, the woman seemed not to be able to understand what we were saying and couldn’t speak. Luckily, I learned that this could happen after a seizure and it might take some time for people to get back to feeling like their normal selves. It was such a relief (宽慰) when she finally answered that she was OK.”   By this time, the ambulance was on its way, so the other shoppers who had helped left.   “As I was leaving, one of the store’s workers said, ‘Thank you for your kindness.’ I was very touched by her words, and I told her that I’d learned first aid in case something like this ever happened, and now it had,” Diana said, “Although the accident left me feeling very shaken, I was glad I knew what to do to help.” 29．Where did the accident happen? 30．What was wrong with the woman on the ground? 31．Why did the worker put a jacket under the woman’s head? 32．How did Diana help the woman? 33．What can we learn from Diana’s experience? 话题3 感受和情绪 Passage 1 When you think of a creative person, you might picture someone painting a picture or writing a poem—but you don’t need to be an artist or poet to be creative. Singing in the shower, inventing a new after-school snack, or even doodling (乱画) in your notebook are all creative acts. And joining in these activities brings many benefits: studies show they can improve your focus, help you relax, and reduce anxiety. What’s more, creativity also has positive effects on your physical health. For your mood (情绪), creativity is like a magic pill. Painting, drawing, or just looking at art works can lower your cortisol (皮质醇)—the stress hormone (荷尔蒙) that makes you feel anxious. So next time you’re nervous before an exam, try doodling something fun or looking at art online. It will help you calm down. When it comes to your heart, creativity can be a great helper. It can lower your blood pressure, making it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body. This is especially good for people with heart problems, and even simple creative activities work. Your brain is another big winner when you get creative. Creativity sharpens your focus and mental flexibility (灵活性), letting you think in different ways and come up with new ideas—useful for tricky math problems or essay brainstorming. It keeps the brain young and stops older adults’ cognitive decline (认知下降). Last but not least, your nervous system (神经系统) benefits too. Creativity can better its pain-managing ability. If you suffer from chronic (慢性的) pain, studies show that creative activities like writing music or even singing your favorite tunes can help reduce discomfort. Creativity is for everyone. Try it—you’ll help your body and mind. Give it a try, and you might find a new passion that makes you feel great! 34．What are creative acts? 35．When you’re nervous before an exam, what can you do? 36．Why is creativity good for people with heart problems? 37．What would you like to do to develop your creativity? And why? (Please give at least two reasons.) Passage 2 Do you often find yourself worried about the coming art project or sports? You’re not the only one with those little worries. We all feel that way! But hey, you know what? A little worry can be kind of cool. As a middle school student, I often have some little worries. For example, when I worry about an art project, I put a lot of effort on it. It makes me better. So, give those little worries a high-five — they’re just your body’s way of saying, “Hey, let’s get ready!” A little worry can be a big help for our study. It makes us think hard and listen carefully in class. So, a little worry can help us do our best and learn lots! A little worry can make us a good planner. We may ask, “What words am I not sure about?” Then we’ll check our textbook, thinking hard about each one. We may also worry about finishing our math test on time, so we try to get fast. A little worry can bring us cool feelings before a sports day. We may worry about how well we play. And a little worry keeps us exercising all week. We feel energetic after trying our best to practise. So, don’t be afraid of a little worry. It can be our friend and help us get ready for all the cool things in our life, making us do our best. 38．What does the writer do when he worries about an art project? 39．Why can a little worry be a big help for our study? 40．What can a little worry bring us before a sports day? 41．Do you think a little worry is good or bad for you? Why?（Please give two reasons.） 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 阅读表达三大常考话题 话题1 运动（常考点） 话题2 安全（常考点） 话题3 感受和情绪 话题1 运动 Passage 1 Fun in the Run The marathon (马拉松) is very popular all over the world.

Madison, a 15-year-old girl, used CPR skills that she learned at school to help save her 3-year-old relative during a holiday gathering. It happened on Thanksgiving as family members were preparing dinner. Relatives at the Northridge home thought 3-year-old Maxine was inside playing with other kids. But surveillance (监控) video shows the little girl wandering into the backyard and leaning over the side of the pool, and then jumping or falling in. No one else was outside at the time, but a few minutes later Maxine’s uncle walked out to the yard and found her face down in the pool. He jumped in, pulled the little girl from the water and yelled for help. Several adults came outside but were only able to watch helplessly when efforts were made to revive (苏醒) the girl. When Madison saw what was happening, she knew exactly what to do. “I saw that he was trying the Heimlich (海姆利克氏操作法),” she recalled. “But I knew in that case we needed CPR because Maxine didn’t seem like she was breathing. I told everyone I knew CPR and it calmed everyone down.” “Then they just laid her down on the ground and I started CPR.” The little girl soon revived and her family says she has since recovered. Damian Gilbert says he is very proud of his stepdaughter. She was the only one in the house with CPR training and he finds it remarkable that she was able to take control and save a life. “I’m literally watching a 15-year-old girl basically bring back our niece, a 3-year-old, to life,” Gilbert said. “It was something that I’ll remember for the rest of my life.” 21．What did Madison use to help save her relative? 22．Who pulled the little girl from the water? 23．How does Damian Gilbert feel about his stepdaughter? 24．What do you think of Madison?

Passage 3 Natural disasters can hit anywhere, anytime, and being prepared is the key to staying safe. Earthquakes, typhoons (台风), and floods are common natural disasters that can cause terrible damage (破坏) and bring serious threats (威胁) to safety. Earthquakes suddenly shake the ground, often without warning. To stay safe during an earthquake, people had better “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” until the shaking stops. You can find a strong table to hide under and hold on. Typhoons, known as hurricanes or cyclones in other parts of the world, can lead to strong winds and too much rain. Before a typhoon arrives, storing necessary things like food, water, and batteries is important. Floods can happen when rivers run over because of too much rain. To prepare well, avoid building homes in the areas where floods often happen and place important electrical appliances (电器) up off the ground in your home. Having an emergency plan is also a must. By understanding these disasters and taking action, communities and people can reduce the risk of harm and recover (恢复) more quickly after disasters happen. 25．How many kinds of natural disasters are mentioned in the text? 26．Why are people advised to “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” until the shaking stops? 27．What can typhoons cause according to the text? 28．Which other disaster do you know and how can you keep safe in it?

Just five minutes before closing time, she heard a shop worker saying, “Someone’s having a seizure (疾病突发)”.   Walking quickly towards the shop worker, Diana saw a shopper on the ground. She was lying on the floor, jerking uncontrollably (控制不住地抽搐). A small group of people crowded to help the woman and a shop worker called an ambulance. Diana knew that she could use what she had learned from her first aid training to help as well.   “The seizure was very different from the way people usually move,” Diana said. “The woman’s movements were so powerful that her glasses flew off her face.” Knowing it was important to keep the woman safe, one of the workers brought over a worker jacket and put it under the woman’s head so she wouldn’t hurt herself. “The seizure probably lasted only a few minutes, but it seemed much longer while it was going on,” Diana said, “When the jerking stopped, a man helped turn the woman onto her side. I then tilted (倾斜) her head back to help her keep breathing (呼吸). After the seizure, the woman seemed not to be able to understand what we were saying and couldn’t speak. Luckily, I learned that this could happen after a seizure and it might take some time for people to get back to feeling like their normal selves. It was such a relief (宽慰) when she finally answered that she was OK.”   By this time, the ambulance was on its way, so the other shoppers who had helped left.   “As I was leaving, one of the store’s workers said, ‘Thank you for your kindness.’ I was very touched by her words, and I told her that I’d learned first aid in case something like this ever happened, and now it had,” Diana said, “Although the accident left me feeling very shaken, I was glad I knew what to do to help.” 29．Where did the accident happen? 30．What was wrong with the woman on the ground? 31．Why did the worker put a jacket under the woman’s head? 32．How did Diana help the woman? 33．What can we learn from Diana’s experience? 【答案】29．In a (busy) store. 30．She had a seizure./She was lying on the floor, jerking uncontrollably. 31．The worker put a jacket under the woman’s head so she wouldn’t hurt herself./To keep the woman safe. 32．She tilted the woman’s head back to help her keep breathing. 33．We can learn that it’s important to know how to give first aid and always be ready to help others. 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Diana利用了自己的急救知识救治一位癫痫病人的故事。 【详解】29．根据“Diana was shopping in a busy store after work one evening.

Singing in the shower, inventing a new after-school snack, or even doodling (乱画) in your notebook are all creative acts. And joining in these activities brings many benefits: studies show they can improve your focus, help you relax, and reduce anxiety. What’s more, creativity also has positive effects on your physical health. For your mood (情绪), creativity is like a magic pill. Painting, drawing, or just looking at art works can lower your cortisol (皮质醇)—the stress hormone (荷尔蒙) that makes you feel anxious. So next time you’re nervous before an exam, try doodling something fun or looking at art online. It will help you calm down. When it comes to your heart, creativity can be a great helper. It can lower your blood pressure, making it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body. This is especially good for people with heart problems, and even simple creative activities work. Your brain is another big winner when you get creative. Creativity sharpens your focus and mental flexibility (灵活性), letting you think in different ways and come up with new ideas—useful for tricky math problems or essay brainstorming. It keeps the brain young and stops older adults’ cognitive decline (认知下降). Last but not least, your nervous system (神经系统) benefits too. Creativity can better its pain-managing ability. If you suffer from chronic (慢性的) pain, studies show that creative activities like writing music or even singing your favorite tunes can help reduce discomfort. Creativity is for everyone. Try it—you’ll help your body and mind. Give it a try, and you might find a new passion that makes you feel great! 34．What are creative acts? 35．When you’re nervous before an exam, what can you do? 36．Why is creativity good for people with heart problems? 37．What would you like to do to develop your creativity?
