Her name is Daphne. I think she is a bit stingy and easy to get angry. When I have some nice snacks or other things, I will share them with her. But she never shares anything with me. And if I gently play jokes on her, she will shout at me. What should I do? Can you help me? Breda Dear Breda, It seems that your friend is a bit difficult to get along with. There are two things for you to think about. The first is that you might not know as much about your friend as you think you do. Do you know what her life is like at home? Her parents might fight with each other often. What do you know about her feelings? She might be upset or worried, and doesn’t know who to turn to for help. These things can make people act in strange ways. Then again, maybe your friend is just difficult to deal with. How important is her friendship to you? Sometimes you just have to know how to choose a good friend. It is not an easy thing to do. But if her friendship is causing more harm than good, then it might be something for you to think about. Raymond 1．What does the underlined word “stingy” mean? A．not kind to me B．unwilling to share C．difficult to smile D．strict about jokes 2．Why did Breda write the letter to Raymond? A．To show her new friendship with Daphne. B．To talk about the Daphne’s problems. C．To introduce her friend Daphne to Raymond. D．To ask for help with her friend Daphne. 3．What can we know from the two letters? A．Breda never shares snacks with Daphne. B．Daphne doesn’t like Breda’s jokes. C．Raymond thinks Breda is strange. D．Daphne’s parents always fight. 4．What are the two things Raymond asked Breda to think about? a. How to understand Daphne.    b. How to get along with Daphne. c. How to value a true friendship.    d. How to choose a good friend. A．ab B．bd C．bc D．ac 5．What is the main idea of Raymond’s letter? A．Ways of making a true friend. B．Reasons for keeping a friendship. C．The importance of having a friend. D．Advice on friendship problems. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要是Breda向Raymond倾诉朋友Daphne小气易怒的问题并寻求建议；Raymond在回信中从理解朋友处境和评估友谊价值两方面给出分析和建议。 【详解】 1．词句猜测题。根据“When I have some nice snacks or other things, I will share them with her. But she never shares anything with me.”可知，Breda会和Daphne分享零食，但Daphne从不分享任何东西；据此可以推断划线单词“stingy”指“不愿分享”，与“unwilling to share”同义。故选B。 2．细节理解题。Breda在信末明确提问“What should I do? Can you help me?”，核心目的是就与Daphne的友谊问题寻求帮助。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“And if I gently play jokes on her, she will shout at me.”可知，Breda轻轻地和Daphne开玩笑，她会对Breda大喊，说明Daphne不喜欢Breda的玩笑。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“The first is that you might not know as much about your friend as you think you do.” 可知，Raymond建议Breda先试着更深入了解Daphne，核心是“学会理解朋友”，对应a；再根据“Then again, maybe your friend is just difficult to deal with. How important is her friendship to you? Sometimes you just have to know how to choose a good friend.”可知，Raymond进一步引导Breda思考这份友谊的价值——若友谊带来的困扰多于美好，需理性选择，核心是“重视真正的友谊”，对应c。故选D。 5．主旨大意题。Raymond的回信围绕Breda的友谊困扰展开，给出了两点思考方向，本质是针对友谊问题的建议。故选D。 Passage 2 （25-26七年级上·广东广州·期中）Everyone needs friends.

Boya plays the guqin and imagines tall, proud mountains. Zhong Ziqi, a patient and caring listener, pays close attention. After a short time, he says, “When you play, I see Mount Tai reaching into the sky!” Boya is surprised but continues to play. Now, he thinks of rushing water. Again, Zhong Ziqi listens and shouts, “Your music sounds strong and beautiful, like flowing rivers!” Whatever Boya thinks about, Zhong Ziqi hears in his music. They both realize they are soul mates, and they will be friends for life. Some time later, Boya hears that Zhong Ziqi has passed away. He is very sad and visits his friend’s tomb. Boya says, “We have such a deep connection! I’ll never find another person like you, so why keep my guqin?” He plays one last song and breaks it in half, never playing the instrument again.

Last Friday, we had our first video call. We laughed while trying to pronounce each other’s names correctly. Having an international friend makes the world feel smaller and more interesting!

One thing you could try is cutting down on food waste. The amount of food you waste may not seem like a lot, but when you add up all the food that families waste around the world, it’s a big problem. About 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted each year! About 33% of food made for humans is never consumed, so this is an area we need to improve. According to Project Drawdown, “Making uneaten food wastes water, energy, land and money. It also makes greenhouse gases that are bad for the Earth. The food we waste is responsible for (造成) about 8% of CO2, sent into the air.” Wasting no food is easier said than done, but British cookbook writer Jack Monroe has some ideas for using the food we buy. For example, salad is often wasted because it goes bad quickly. In fact, it can be used to make pesto—a yummy Italian sauce (酱). You can put pesto on bread, eggs, or other things you like. Even banana peels (果皮) can be used to make banana bread. Monroe’s website is home to no-waste and cheap cooking ideas. If you want to save money and not waste food, do check it out. Last night, I was going to throw away some bread when I thought of Monroe. So I used a machine to turn it into crumbs (面包屑) and put them in the fridge. Now I have crumbs ready to use. Hopefully, you’ll find Monroe’s ideas as helpful as I did. 1．What can we learn about food waste? A．It is difficult to solve. B．It is a new problem. C．It is harmful to our planet. D．It is bad for people’s health. 2．What does the underlined word “consumed” mean? A．Eaten. B．Loved. C．Sold. D．Wasted. 3．How should we deal with uneaten food according to Jack Monroe? A．By throwing it away. B．By putting it in the fridge. C．By turning it into new food. D．By making an Italian sauce with it. 4．Why does the writer mention her own experience in Paragraph 5? A．To tell readers how to make crumbs. B．To encourage readers to take action. C．To ask readers to save money. D．To show bread is the most wasted food. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．From waste to taste. B．Eat less, waste less. C．The terrible food waste. D．Activities on Earth Day. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了食物浪费的严重性及其对环境的影响，并提出了减少食物浪费的建议。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据“Making uneaten food wastes water, energy, land and money. It also makes greenhouse gases that are bad for the Earth.”可知，食物浪费会浪费资源并产生温室气体，对地球有害。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“About 33% of food made for humans is never consumed”可知，为人类生产的食物中有33%从未被“食用”。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Jack Monroe has some ideas for using the food we buy. For example, salad...can be used to make pesto...Even banana peels can be used to make banana bread.”可知，Jack Monroe建议将未食用的食物转化为新的食物。故选C。 4．推理判断题。第五段作者分享自己将面包做成面包屑而不浪费的经历，是为了鼓励读者也采取行动减少食物浪费。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。文章主要讲述了如何通过创意方法将可能被浪费的食物转化为美味，即“从浪费到美味”。故选A。 Passage 2 （25-26七年级上·广东深圳·期中）Have you noticed that the weather is acting a little strange lately? Scientists say this might be our new normal. Summers are getting hotter. Winters are becoming warmer and wetter. We also hear more news about serious problems like floods, droughts (干旱) and wildfires. Why is this happening? A big reason is global warming. Global warming is like the Earth wearing a thick jacket. Normally, some gases in the air trap just enough of the sun’s heat to keep our planet warm. But now, human activities are creating too many of these gases (this is called pollution). This makes the “jacket” too thick, so the Earth gets warmer and warmer. We can already see signs of global warming. Our major sign is in the coldest places on Earth—the North and South Poles. The huge ice sheets there are melting (融化) and breaking apart. When the ice melts, it flows into the ocean, making sea levels rise. This can lead to floods in coastal cities. Scientists worry that a lot of this ice might be gone by the year 2100. In other places, global warming can cause the opposite (相反的) problem: droughts. When there’s no rain for a long time, the land becomes very dry, which can easily start wildfires. So, what can we do? Scientists say we need to reduce pollution to slow down global warming. We can help by using cars less and walking or biking more. We also need to find cleaner ways to make electricity, like using solar or wind power. 1．What will the winter be like in the future according to the scientists? A．Cooler. B．Drier. C．Warmer. D．Colder. 2．What does the underlined phrase “trap” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A．Lose B．Send C．Waste D．Keep 3．Which of the following is the correct order of how global warming causes floods? ① Sea levels rise. ② The Earth gets warmer. ③ Ice sheets melt and flow into the ocean. ④ Human activities create too many pollution gases. A．③→④→①→② B．④→②→③→① C．③→①→④→② D．④→①→③→② 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．All the ice at the Poles will melt by 2100. B．Global warming is a good thing for our Earth. C．If we don’t take action, the weather problems might get worse. D．Without any gases in the air, the Earth would be a better place. 5．How is the passage organized (组织)? A．By telling a story about the weather. B．By comparing the weather in the past and now. C．By listing different scientists’ opinions on global warming. D．By explaining a problem and its causes, effects, and solutions. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了全球变暖的原因、影响及应对措施。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据“Winters are becoming warmer and wetter.”可推知未来冬季的特点。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“some gases in the air trap just enough of the sun’s heat to keep our planet warm”可知，空气中的一些气体保留适量的太阳热量以保持地球温暖，“trap”意为“保留/留住”。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“The huge ice sheets there are melting (融化) and breaking apart. When the ice melts, it flows into the ocean, making sea levels rise. This can lead to floods in coastal cities. Scientists worry that a lot of this ice might be gone by the year 2100.”可知逻辑顺序为④人类活动产生过多污染气体→②地球变暖→③冰盖融化流入海洋→①海平面上升→沿海城市洪水。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“Scientists say we need to reduce pollution to slow down global warming”可推知，若不采取行动，天气问题会恶化。故选C。 5．篇章结构题。全文结构：提出问题（天气异常）→分析原因（全球变暖）→说明影响（极地融冰、洪水干旱）→提出解决方案（减少污染），因此是通过 “解释问题、原因、影响及解决方案” 组织内容。故选 D。 Passage 3 （25-26七年级上·广东广州·期中）Saihanba: From Desert to Green Forest Saihanba, a place in northern Hebei, has an amazing story. It used to be a dry desert, but now it’s one of the biggest man-made forests in the world. Its journey shows how people can change the environment for the better. Hundreds of years ago, Saihanba was a lush forest. Emperors often went there to hunt because it was full of trees and wild animals. But in the 1800s, things changed. Big forest fires broke out, and wars happened in the area. People also cut down many trees to build houses and make firewood. Slowly, the trees disappeared, and Saihanba turned into a desert. The desert caused big problems for nearby places, especially Beijing. Every spring, strong sandstorms blew from Saihanba to Beijing. The sand covered roads, made the air dirty, and even damaged houses. People in Beijing had to wear masks whenever a sandstorm came. The government knew they needed to fix this. In the early 1960s, a group of 369 scientists and young people went to Saihanba. Their goal was to plant trees and turn the desert back into a forest. But the work was hard. Saihanba’s weather was terrible: winter temperatures dropped to -40°C, and strong winds blew away young trees. Many people got sick from the cold and dry air, but no one gave up. They tried different trees to see which could live in the desert. At first, most trees died. But the team kept trying. Finally, they found that larch and pine trees could survive. They planted these trees carefully, one by one. Every year, more people joined them. Three generations of workers spent their lives planting trees in Saihanba. Their hard work paid off. Today, Saihanba is a green paradise with over 189,000 acres of forest. The forest makes clean air and water for nearby cities. It also stops sandstorms from reaching Beijing—there are now half as many sandstorms as before. Saihanba is also home to deer, foxes, and over 200 kinds of birds. In 2017, Saihanba won a big award from the UN for its great work in environmental protection. Today, people from all over the world come to visit. They learn about Saihanba’s story and see how people can make the Earth greener. 1．Why did Saihanba turn into a desert in the 1800s? A．There was no rain for years. B．Emperors hunted too many animals. C．Fires, wars, and tree cutting caused it. D．Sandstorms from Beijing covered it. 2．What problem did the Saihanba desert bring to Beijing? A．It caused floods in Beijing. B．It brought sandstorms to Beijing every spring. C．It made Beijing’s summer too hot. D．It polluted Beijing’s rivers. 3．What trees did workers plant successfully in Saihanba? A．Apple and pear trees.

The world comes back to life. Chinese people call this time of the year jingzhe and it is one of the “solar terms” in China. Jingzhe usually comes on 5th March or 6th March. It’s time to get up and find food for some animals and insects. Farmers start the year’s work. Lots of sunshine and rain are good for plants to grow. As the Chinese saying goes, “The whole year’s work depends on a good start in spring .” Everyone is busy preparing for the new year’s work. What do we do around jingzhe? In some old Chinese stories, a white tiger always hurts (伤害) people during jingzhe. So people draw it on paper and then “put some meat in its mouth”. This way, the tiger is full and will not hurt people. Some stories are about the god of thunder. He beats his drum to make spring thunder during jingzhe. To show their respect (尊敬), people on the earth also beat the drums. It’s getting warmer around jingzhe. Pears are sweet.

Xiaoman is the eighth one. Its name means “a little full” in Chinese. During this solar term, we begin to find small changes in the environment. In the south of China, we can find the rising water levels because of more rainy days. Around the Jiangnan area, we can also see the flowering of plants. In the north of China, Xiaoman is an important time for the spring planted crops. The crops are growing-and-almost ready for harvest. So, this solar term is important to farmers. In ancient times, people held different activities during Xiaoman. On the day of Xiaoman, farmers gathered around and rode on the waterwheels. Waterwheels were one of the most important tools for them to bring water to the fields. Also, farmers put water into their fields in the hope of a good harvest. What’s more, people believed that Xiaoman was the birthday of the Silkworm God. They would take good care of silkworms and cocoons to show their respect for the God. Eating wild vegetables is also a tradition during Xiaoman. Bitter greens are the earliest wild vegetables. Chinese people like them. They are not tasty and are a little bitter. So, it is not usual for people to plant them in their own fields. But they can help our bodies in many ways. Xiaoman is a time with many traditions. We can enjoy both something good in nature and something simple in life. There are also great meanings behind Xiaoman. Just as the name suggests, things are almost full but not quite there yet.

As a good student in my teachers’ eyes, I had never received such a terrible grade before. I was so afraid that when I got home that afternoon I lied to my dad. I told him I got 85 and the report wouldn’t come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. Because he never thought that his daughter would lie to him. A month later, Dad asked me again about the report at the dinner table. He looked right into my eyes and asked for an answer. Having no choice, I told him that I had in fact just 65 in my math exam. I told a lie because I didn’t want to let him down. For a moment, he just looked at me. After a quiet moment, in the end, Dad said, in a hurt voice, “You have already let me down, with your lie. I am not sad at your math score. That is no big deal—no one can be perfect all the time. However, I am very sorry for you. If you can’t be honest with your dad, who can you be honest with? It’s much easier to get a better grade than rebuild others’ trust in you.” Dad’s words touched my heart. I took out the report, gave it to him and said sorry to him. My father smiled and touched my head gently, “I’m glad you understand that.” At that time, I knew that my honesty was not only important to myself, but to those around me who truly care about my happiness.

Their colorful wings, flying from one flower to another, bring fun to people of all ages. However, they are in big trouble now. Since 2000 the number of butterflies goes down all the time. Collin Edwards, who works at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, does a study on this worrying situation (状况). Volunteers play an important role in understanding the situation. They love butterflies and help monitor them. Monitoring here means carefully watching and taking notes of their numbers, living places, and behaviors. This helps scientists like Edwards find out what’s going on. Three main things let the number of butterflies go down. First, because cities grow and people cut down forests, butterflies’ homes are destroyed. Second, pesticides (杀虫剂) are a big problem. People use pesticides to kill bad insects, but they are also bad for butterflies and other helpful insects. Third, weather change is making things worse. The Earth is getting warmer. This changes the places where butterflies can live. Some of the plants might die because of the warmer weather. There is something we can do to protect the butterflies. A simple way is to grow flowers. They are good for butterflies in our gardens. These flowers not only give butterflies food but also give them a safe place. We can also tell people to use fewer pesticides and protect butterflies’ living places. By doing these things, we can help save the butterflies. 1．【新考法】Which picture best shows the change in butterfly number since 2000? A．B． C． D． 2．Why do volunteers monitor butterflies? A．To sell butterflies to scientists. B．To train butterflies to live in cities. C．To catch and collect butterflies for research. D．To record their numbers, living places, and behaviors. 3．Who does the study on the butterfly situation? A．A volunteer from the Washington Department. B．Collin Edwards. C．A group of butterfly lovers. D．The government. 4．Which of the following is NOT a reason for why the number of butterflies goes down? A．Cities grow and forests are cut down. B．Pesticides kill harmful and helpful insects. C．People grow more flowers in gardens. D．The Earth gets warmer and some plants die. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Butterflies are the most beautiful insects. B．The number of butterflies is going down for some reasons and how to help. C．Volunteers help scientists study butterflies. D．Pesticides are bad for all insects. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了蝴蝶数量逐年减少的现状、三大减少原因，并介绍了普通人可以采取的保护方法。 【详解】 1．第一段提到“Since 2000 the number of butterflies goes down all the time.”，蝴蝶数量从2000年后持续下降，折线A项呈下降趋势，符合文意。 2．第二段提到“Monitoring here means carefully watching and taking notes of their numbers, living places, and behaviors.”，志愿者监测是为记录蝴蝶数量、栖息地和习性。 3．第二段提到“Collin Edwards, who works at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, does a study on this worrying situation.”，是Collin Edwards开展研究。 4．末段提到“A simple way is to grow flowers...give butterflies food but also give them a safe place.”，种花是保护蝴蝶的举措，不会造成数量下降。 5．文章先点明蝴蝶数量逐年减少，中间分析3个锐减原因，最后介绍保护措施，B项精准概括全文。 2 / 24 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 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 考前押题03 阅读理解6大常考话题 话题1 友谊 话题2校园生活 话题3 季节 话题4 环境保护 话题5 传统文化 话题6 个人经历/哲理感悟 ①通读题干，明任务：先读问题和选项，圈画关键信息，带着目标回文定位，切忌盲目通读全文。 ②定位原文，找依据：根据题干关键词，锁定文中对应段落句子，答案尽量从原文找线索。 ③比对选项，细甄别：区分原文原话、同义替换、偷换概念、无中生有，排除与原文不符选项。 ④梳理逻辑，推深意：关注转折、因果等逻辑句，主旨题、推断题不能凭主观想象，忠于文本。 ⑤回查核对，防陷阱：做完对照原文再校验，警惕 “说法正确但和题目无关” 的迷惑选项。 话题1 友谊（共4篇） Passage 1 （25-26七年级上·广东深圳·期中） Dear Raymond, I have a good friend.

In France, students usually wear their own clothes to school. But now, about 100 schools in France want their students to wear uniforms. Why? It’s because French students’ grades are getting worse, and bullying (霸凌) is a big problem at school. Schools think that uniforms can help. If everyone wears the same uniforms, students won’t compare (比较) their clothes. Uniforms can also help students feel like they are part of the same team and get along better. They could help make a better place for study. Not everyone in France likes this idea. Here’s what they say: Students: We don’t like to all look the same. We like to be different!

I wrote down how the grass turned green, how the cherry blossoms opened, and even how a little bird built its nest in a tree. Summer Summer at school is all about energy. Our school has a “Summer Sports Day” in July. There are races, jumping games, and even a tug-of-war. I joined the 400-meter run last year.

Spring refers not only to the season but also the idea of rebirth, and that’s why most countries have special traditions to celebrate the arrival of this beautiful season.

In the US, a groundhog (土拨鼠) helping to tell the coming of spring has become a tradition. There’s even a special day, Groundhog Day, on every February 2nd.

One thing you could try is cutting down on food waste. The amount of food you waste may not seem like a lot, but when you add up all the food that families waste around the world, it’s a big problem. About 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted each year! About 33% of food made for humans is never consumed, so this is an area we need to improve. According to Project Drawdown, “Making uneaten food wastes water, energy, land and money. It also makes greenhouse gases that are bad for the Earth. The food we waste is responsible for (造成) about 8% of CO2, sent into the air.” Wasting no food is easier said than done, but British cookbook writer Jack Monroe has some ideas for using the food we buy. For example, salad is often wasted because it goes bad quickly. In fact, it can be used to make pesto—a yummy Italian sauce (酱). You can put pesto on bread, eggs, or other things you like. Even banana peels (果皮) can be used to make banana bread. Monroe’s website is home to no-waste and cheap cooking ideas. If you want to save money and not waste food, do check it out. Last night, I was going to throw away some bread when I thought of Monroe. So I used a machine to turn it into crumbs (面包屑) and put them in the fridge. Now I have crumbs ready to use. Hopefully, you’ll find Monroe’s ideas as helpful as I did. 1．What can we learn about food waste? A．It is difficult to solve. B．It is a new problem. C．It is harmful to our planet. D．It is bad for people’s health. 2．What does the underlined word “consumed” mean? A．Eaten. B．Loved. C．Sold. D．Wasted. 3．How should we deal with uneaten food according to Jack Monroe?

Scientists say this might be our new normal. Summers are getting hotter. Winters are becoming warmer and wetter. We also hear more news about serious problems like floods, droughts (干旱) and wildfires. Why is this happening? A big reason is global warming. Global warming is like the Earth wearing a thick jacket. Normally, some gases in the air trap just enough of the sun’s heat to keep our planet warm. But now, human activities are creating too many of these gases (this is called pollution). This makes the “jacket” too thick, so the Earth gets warmer and warmer. We can already see signs of global warming. Our major sign is in the coldest places on Earth—the North and South Poles. The huge ice sheets there are melting (融化) and breaking apart. When the ice melts, it flows into the ocean, making sea levels rise. This can lead to floods in coastal cities. Scientists worry that a lot of this ice might be gone by the year 2100. In other places, global warming can cause the opposite (相反的) problem: droughts. When there’s no rain for a long time, the land becomes very dry, which can easily start wildfires. So, what can we do? Scientists say we need to reduce pollution to slow down global warming. We can help by using cars less and walking or biking more. We also need to find cleaner ways to make electricity, like using solar or wind power. 1．What will the winter be like in the future according to the scientists? A．Cooler. B．Drier. C．Warmer. D．Colder. 2．What does the underlined phrase “trap” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A．Lose B．Send C．Waste D．Keep 3．Which of the following is the correct order of how global warming causes floods? ① Sea levels rise. ② The Earth gets warmer. ③ Ice sheets melt and flow into the ocean. ④ Human activities create too many pollution gases. A．③→④→①→② B．④→②→③→① C．③→①→④→② D．④→①→③→② 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．All the ice at the Poles will melt by 2100. B．Global warming is a good thing for our Earth. C．If we don’t take action, the weather problems might get worse. D．Without any gases in the air, the Earth would be a better place. 5．How is the passage organized (组织)? A．By telling a story about the weather. B．By comparing the weather in the past and now. C．By listing different scientists’ opinions on global warming. D．By explaining a problem and its causes, effects, and solutions. Passage 3 （25-26七年级上·广东广州·期中）Saihanba: From Desert to Green Forest Saihanba, a place in northern Hebei, has an amazing story. It used to be a dry desert, but now it’s one of the biggest man-made forests in the world. Its journey shows how people can change the environment for the better. Hundreds of years ago, Saihanba was a lush forest. Emperors often went there to hunt because it was full of trees and wild animals. But in the 1800s, things changed. Big forest fires broke out, and wars happened in the area. People also cut down many trees to build houses and make firewood. Slowly, the trees disappeared, and Saihanba turned into a desert. The desert caused big problems for nearby places, especially Beijing. Every spring, strong sandstorms blew from Saihanba to Beijing. The sand covered roads, made the air dirty, and even damaged houses. People in Beijing had to wear masks whenever a sandstorm came. The government knew they needed to fix this. In the early 1960s, a group of 369 scientists and young people went to Saihanba. Their goal was to plant trees and turn the desert back into a forest. But the work was hard. Saihanba’s weather was terrible: winter temperatures dropped to -40°C, and strong winds blew away young trees. Many people got sick from the cold and dry air, but no one gave up. They tried different trees to see which could live in the desert. At first, most trees died. But the team kept trying. Finally, they found that larch and pine trees could survive. They planted these trees carefully, one by one. Every year, more people joined them. Three generations of workers spent their lives planting trees in Saihanba. Their hard work paid off. Today, Saihanba is a green paradise with over 189,000 acres of forest. The forest makes clean air and water for nearby cities. It also stops sandstorms from reaching Beijing—there are now half as many sandstorms as before. Saihanba is also home to deer, foxes, and over 200 kinds of birds. In 2017, Saihanba won a big award from the UN for its great work in environmental protection. Today, people from all over the world come to visit. They learn about Saihanba’s story and see how people can make the Earth greener. 1．Why did Saihanba turn into a desert in the 1800s? A．There was no rain for years. B．Emperors hunted too many animals.

Its name means “a little full” in Chinese. During this solar term, we begin to find small changes in the environment. In the south of China, we can find the rising water levels because of more rainy days. Around the Jiangnan area, we can also see the flowering of plants. In the north of China, Xiaoman is an important time for the spring planted crops. The crops are growing-and-almost ready for harvest. So, this solar term is important to farmers. In ancient times, people held different activities during Xiaoman. On the day of Xiaoman, farmers gathered around and rode on the waterwheels. Waterwheels were one of the most important tools for them to bring water to the fields. Also, farmers put water into their fields in the hope of a good harvest. What’s more, people believed that Xiaoman was the birthday of the Silkworm God. They would take good care of silkworms and cocoons to show their respect for the God. Eating wild vegetables is also a tradition during Xiaoman. Bitter greens are the earliest wild vegetables. Chinese people like them. They are not tasty and are a little bitter. So, it is not usual for people to plant them in their own fields. But they can help our bodies in many ways. Xiaoman is a time with many traditions. We can enjoy both something good in nature and something simple in life. There are also great meanings behind Xiaoman. Just as the name suggests, things are almost full but not quite there yet.

Passage 4 （25-26七年级上·广东广州·期中）When I looked at the grade on my math paper, I was shocked: a big “65” in bright red ink. As a good student in my teachers’ eyes, I had never received such a terrible grade before. I was so afraid that when I got home that afternoon I lied to my dad. I told him I got 85 and the report wouldn’t come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. Because he never thought that his daughter would lie to him. A month later, Dad asked me again about the report at the dinner table. He looked right into my eyes and asked for an answer. Having no choice, I told him that I had in fact just 65 in my math exam. I told a lie because I didn’t want to let him down. For a moment, he just looked at me. After a quiet moment, in the end, Dad said, in a hurt voice, “You have already let me down, with your lie. I am not sad at your math score. That is no big deal—no one can be perfect all the time. However, I am very sorry for you. If you can’t be honest with your dad, who can you be honest with? It’s much easier to get a better grade than rebuild others’ trust in you.” Dad’s words touched my heart. I took out the report, gave it to him and said sorry to him. My father smiled and touched my head gently, “I’m glad you understand that.” At that time, I knew that my honesty was not only important to myself, but to those around me who truly care about my happiness.

Their colorful wings, flying from one flower to another, bring fun to people of all ages. However, they are in big trouble now. Since 2000 the number of butterflies goes down all the time. Collin Edwards, who works at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, does a study on this worrying situation (状况). Volunteers play an important role in understanding the situation. They love butterflies and help monitor them. Monitoring here means carefully watching and taking notes of their numbers, living places, and behaviors. This helps scientists like Edwards find out what’s going on. Three main things let the number of butterflies go down. First, because cities grow and people cut down forests, butterflies’ homes are destroyed. Second, pesticides (杀虫剂) are a big problem. People use pesticides to kill bad insects, but they are also bad for butterflies and other helpful insects. Third, weather change is making things worse. The Earth is getting warmer. This changes the places where butterflies can live. Some of the plants might die because of the warmer weather. There is something we can do to protect the butterflies. A simple way is to grow flowers. They are good for butterflies in our gardens. These flowers not only give butterflies food but also give them a safe place. We can also tell people to use fewer pesticides and protect butterflies’ living places. By doing these things, we can help save the butterflies. 1．【新考法】Which picture best shows the change in butterfly number since 2000? A．B． C． D． 2．Why do volunteers monitor butterflies?
