考前押题09 回答问题（期中专项训练） 话题1伟大的人物（人物传记） 话题2 伟大的人物及思想 话题3 家庭生活 话题4 青少年成长（问题与建议） Passage 1 (Great people) Yang Zhenning, one of the greatest physicists and educators in the world, was born in Hefei, Anhui Province, in 1922. He devoted his whole life to scientific research and education, and left a deep and lasting influence on China and the whole world. On October 18, 2025, he passed away. When he was interviewed in his later years, he often talked about his lifelong connection with science and China. “I have been lucky to live in a time of great change,” he once said, “I have seen China rise from poverty (贫穷) to strength. That has been my greatest joy.” In 1945, Yang went to the United States for further study. He kept working hard on modern physics and made great achievements. In 1957, he and Tsung-Dao Lee won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their research on parity non-conservation in weak interactions (弱相互作用中宇称不守恒). They became the first Chinese scientists to win this great honor. After living and working abroad for many years, Yang returned to China in 1999 and worked as a professor at Tsinghua University. At Tsinghua, he tried his best to build a world-class physics research center. He made great efforts to train and encourage young scientists. He donated most of his savings to set up scholarships (奖学金) for poor but excellent students. Even in his 80s and 90s, he still taught undergraduates in person. When a student once asked him why he kept teaching at such an old age, Yang smiled and said, “________.” Yang was a true patriot (爱国者) who always cared about his motherland, a great scientist who kept searching for truth, and a responsible educator who devoted himself to training talents. His spirit will always encourage Chinese teenagers to study hard and try to achieve their dreams. 1. When and where was Yang Zhenning born? 2. What’s Yang’s greatest joy? 3. What did Yang win with his partner in 1957? 4. Continue to fill in Yang’s words in Paragraph 4. (Within 30 words) 5. Why do we call Yang Zhenning one of the greatest physicists? (Within 30 words) Passage 2 (Great ideas) Long ago, a wise man called Sunzi lived in the State of Wu. He was good at leading armies. He wrote a book called The Art of War. It is a short book with just around 6000 words. However, it has been very important for over 2000 years. It is not just about military strategies (策略) but it also has lessons about how to make decisions. The wise lessons can be used in many areas, such as international relations, business management and even sports. Let’s explore the main rules together. Think about all the details Sunzi begins by talking about the importance of strategy. War is a matter of life and death for a country. Leaders must consider all the details. For example, they have to decide if the people support a war. They must think about the skills of military leaders and the strength of soldiers. The weather and landscape are also important. For a successful result, there must be a plan. Without a plan, there is a chance that they might fail. Follow the rules but use them creatively Sunzi says that when there is conflict, both sides might be strong. To win, one side must surprise the enemy. In battle or challenge, it is important to do things in an unexpected way. That means a person should use rules creatively to solve difficult problems. They should think about new methods to combine strategies. Focus on a quick victory Sunzi says that winning a war quickly is important. A battle that continues for too long will make soldiers tired and worried. The enemy will take advantage of this and try to beat them. Sunzi believes that the best strategy is to find a way to win without using too much time. Focus on each task and solve problems as quickly as possible. Fight without doing too much harm Sunzi also talks about the wise way to fight. In war, the best way is to use correct strategies to stop the enemy’s plans in advance. The next best is to isolate the enemy from their supporting parties. The next in order is to beat their armies in the field. The worst choice is to attack their cities. The goal should always be to fight by doing as little harm as possible to the other country. Peace is the best victory Sunzi thinks that a country can fight to win every battle, but this might not be the best result. The war might destroy a lot of the country. Sunzi believes that true strength lies in winning without fighting. It brings peace and safety to the country and its people. A truly wise leader should keep this in mind. The rules in this book are some of Sunzi’s key strategies for winning in war. But following rules without thinking will not bring a successful result. Every situation is different. Wise people apply (运用) the rules differently for each situation. To use the rules well is an art. As a result, the title of Sunzi’s book was translated as The Art of War. 1. Why has Sunzi’s book been important for over 2000 years? 2. What must leaders consider according to Sunzi before starting a war? 3. How should a person use the rules to solve difficult problems? 4. Why was the title of Sunzi’s book translated as The Art of War? 5. Which of Sunzi’s rules do you think you can apply in daily life? Why? Passage 3 (Family traditions) How many times have you heard—or said—“I’ll do it tomorrow”—when the dishes are waiting or your room looks like a storm has passed through? For many teenagers, housework feels like a small mountain standing between them and their free time. Yet a growing number of researchers say those little jobs are worth far more than they look. A long-term study followed young teenagers for many years and found something interesting. Those who regularly did chores—setting the table, folding clothes, walking the dog—were more likely to grow into confident and helpful adults. “Everyday tasks give children a feeling: I am part of this family, and my work matters,” one researcher explained. “That feeling of being useful”, she adds, “is a powerful fuel for growing up”. Chores also teach skills that no test can measure. Cooking a simple meal, finding the best price at the corner shop, or fixing a broken lamp teaches planning, patience and the art of solving problems step by step. One boy proudly makes noodles for the family when his parents come home late. “It’s not just about the noodles,” says his mother. “He sees what we do, and he joins in.” Some parents, however, worry that chores will eat into study time. Most experts see it differently. Studies in several countries have found no sign that proper housework hurts grades. In fact, when students are stuck on homework, a ten-minute break spent tidying up or walking the dog often helps them return with a clearer head. So the kitchen need not be the enemy of the desk. Young people who learn to serve at home, experts say, grow into adults who can stand on their own—and who care about the world beyond their own rooms. 1. What do many teenagers think of housework? 2. What did the long-term study find about teenagers who often did chores? 3. What is “a powerful fuel for growing up” according to the researcher? 4. What have studies found about chores and grades? 5. What can doing chores teach? Passage 4 (A better me) Innovation (创新) plays an important role in improving life and developing society. It is not just about big inventions but also about small changes in daily life. Everyone can be innovative if they are willing to practice and explore. First, innovation needs practice. You cannot create something new just by thinking. You must do it with your hands. For example, if you want to make a better school bag, you need to cut cloth and design it many times. Each time you fail, you learn something useful. Thomas Edison tried thousands of times before he made the light bulb work. Practice turns simple ideas into real things. Second, innovation requires courage. Many people are afraid of making mistakes. That’s why they only follow old ways. But innovators are different. They are brave to ask “why” and “what if”. When they meet problems, they do not give up. They try strange ideas that others may laugh at. This courage helps them find new methods that no one has tried before. Third, innovation calls for an open mind. You should look at things in different ways. A bottle is not just for holding water. It can become a flower pot or a pencil holder. When you connect old things in new ways, you create surprises. Reading books and talking with different people can give you fresh thoughts. To develop your innovative spirit, start with small steps. Remember, innovation is not a gift for special people. It is a habit that anyone can build through practice, courage and an open mind. Only in this habit will your innovative spirit grow day by day. 1. What is innovation about? 2. Why do many people only follow old ways? 3. What does innovation need according to the text? 4. What does the writer want to tell us about innovative spirit at the end of the passage? What three key qualities help us form this spirit? 5. Why should people develop innovative spirit? Write 30 words or more. Passage 1 In 2025, the annual "Touching China" awards were announced, and among the ten honored people stood an ordinary couple — Zhao Xingsong and Xie Honglan from Gaoyou, Jiangsu. To most of us, they are just a husband and wife working hard to make a living. Yet their plain story has moved millions of people across the whole country. Their trouble began years ago. Their only son was found to have malignant bone cancer, and the operation cost nearly one million yuan. For this common family, that was like a mountain no one could move. Day and night, they worried and wept, afraid that their son would be taken away. Just when darkness filled their lives, hope appeared. Thousands of strangers learned their story and rushed to help, donating more than 400,000 yuan to support the operation. Their selfless love became a ray of light in the couple's darkest hours. However, fate played a cruel joke. In 2020, at only 24, their son lost his fight against the disease and left forever. Heartbroken as they were, the couple made an amazing choice. They decided to return every single yuan of the donations. "No one owes us anything," they said. "People gave us love, and we must return it with honesty." The next six years were filled with sweat and hardship. The couple worked several part-time jobs at the same time. They ate simple meals, wore old clothes, and saved every coin they could. Slowly, the huge debt became smaller and smaller, until finally it was gone. Why does their story move us so deeply? Perhaps because they chose honesty when nobody was watching. Perhaps because, in the deepest pain, they never stopped thinking about others. What is even more touching is that they did not stop after paying back the money. They kept volunteering, sending warmth to more people who needed it. Their spirit shines like a light in the dark. It teaches us that true greatness lies not in wealth or fame, but in keeping a promise and returning kindness. When life knocked them down, they stood up again. And now, they hold the light for others — showing us what courage, honesty, and love truly mean. 1. What does the underlined sentence “fate played a cruel joke” mean in the passage? 2. According to Paragraph 2, what trouble did the family meet with besides their son’s serious illness? 3. What can we learn about the couple from their experiences of paying back the donations? 4. Why is the couple’s story so moving to millions of people? 5. What quality do you think is the most valuable from the couple? Please give your reason.（开放性问题） Passage 2 Do you often put off your homework until the last minute? If so, you might be a procrastinator. Procrastination (拖延症)is a common problem for many students. It means putting off tasks that need to be done until later, even though you know it might cause trouble. So why do students procrastinate? Some tasks are too difficult, so students avoid them. Also, there are many distractions (分散注意力的事物)around them, like smartphones and social media, which make it easy to waste time. According to a recent study, students who don’t do their work on time often feel more stressed (紧张的) and worried. It causes them to have worse sleep quality and poor health. What’s more, when everything is left until the last minute, students have to work in a hurry. This often results in more mistakes and lower grades on average. Luckily, there are ways to fight procrastination. Experts suggest breaking down big tasks into smaller steps. This makes the work seem less scary and easier to start. You can set a clear deadline (截止期限)for each step. After you finish it, give yourself a small reward (奖励)—this can also help. Another useful tip is to create a study environment that is free from distractions. For example, you can turn off your phone or reduce screen time while studying. Besides, when your mind is fresh, you should do the most challenging task first. By learning to manage time and tasks well, students can overcome procrastination. This will not only lead to better grades but also reduce stress and create more free time for hobbies and relaxation. 1. What are the distractions mentioned in Paragraph 2? 2. How do students who don’t do their work on time often feel? 3. What do experts advise us to do with big tasks? 4. What should we do when our minds are fresh? 5. Give another tip to help us stop procrastination. (Your answer should be different from the tips in the text.) Passage 3 Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people. My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.” At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again as long as I insisted on practicing walking. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school—walking on my own! When the Great Depression hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again. Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world—Holiday Inn. In 1979, my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year. You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you. 1. What happened when Kemmons’s mother was eighteen? 2. Did Kemmons and his mother live a happy life when he was nine months old? 3. How did Kemmons’s mother spoke to her son after he was hit by a car? 4. When did the real turning point cause Kemmons to start a motel by himself? 5. What do you think of Kemmons’s success? Why? Passage 4 Cai Lei, former vice‑president of JD. com, is an inspiring fighter who lights up hope with perseverance and love. In 2019, he was diagnosed with ALS, a serious and incurable rare disease. The disease gradually weakens people’s muscles, robbing them of the ability to move, speak and act freely. Facing this cruel illness, most people would lose hope, but Cai Lei chose to fight against his fate bravely. As his condition became worse, he faced countless unbearable difficulties. He could not move his limbs or speak a word. In the end, he could only rely on eye‑tracking tools to communicate and work. Suffering from great physical pain and endless tiredness every day, he never gave up. Instead of sinking into self‑pity, he found practical ways to carry on. Even when every movement cost him much energy, he kept a strict daily working schedule and made full use of every minute. He spent long hours reading medical documents online through eye‑control equipment. He also patiently invited experts from different fields to build a strong research team together. To break the long‑time deadlock of ALS treatment, Cai Lei led his team to create the ALS AI Research Brain. This advanced AI platform can read thousands of medical papers, analyze complex gene data and screen potential drug targets in a short time. It makes medical research dozens of times more efficient than traditional ways. Thanks to his continuous efforts, more than 30 new drug projects have entered clinical trials, bringing new hope for millions of ALS patients. In 2026, Cai Lei won the AI Special Contribution Person Award for his great achievements. He turns his personal misfortune into public warmth and uses technology to save more lives. His strong will and selfless dedication have moved countless people and set a great example for all teenagers. 1. When was Cai Lei diagnosed with ALS? 2. What did Cai Lei do to deal with his difficulties after his illness got worse? (Give two examples.) 3. How does the ALS AI Research Brain help to speed up medical research? 4. What can we learn from Cai Lei’s story? (At least two points.) 5. Cai Lei has won the 2026 AI Special Contribution Person Award. Please write a short award speech (颁奖词) for him. (About 30 words.) Passage 5 I was lucky to grow up with a dad. My grandfather died when my dad was just a baby, and his mom didn’t remarry (再婚) until he was in high school. He grew up during the hard years of the 1930s and 1940s. Instead of letting the hard times destroy him, my father became fiercely independent. He decided to create a better life for his own family. He didn’t just focus on money. He decided to give my sister and me the relationship he had never had. He wanted to be there for us all the time. One of my favorite memories is him lying down beside me at night as I fell asleep. In bed, I would ask him about his past. I heard stories about waking up at 5 a.m. to deliver newspapers before walking to school. He told me about breaking windows with frozen newspapers because they were too heavy. He talked about coming to an empty house every day, fixing his own breakfast, and dealing with a difficult stepfather. But he also told stories of luck. He told me how selling his paper route gave him his first savings. He talked about a lucky conversation with a friend that led to a stranger offering him a full scholarship (奖学金). He arrived at college with a suitcase and less than $30. Later, I learned about my great-grandfather, George. He was a man with a simple but powerful faith. My dad spent a summer with him, sitting on the ground and talking. He often repeated George’s words to me: “Jill, when you have to run your head through a brick wall, start running and trust that there will be a hole.” My dad’s stories were not just words. They became a part of me. 1. Did Jill’s grandfather die when her father was a baby? 2. What kind of parent did Jill’s father decide to be? 3. What examples show that Jill’s father lived a hard life? 4. What are the “brick walls” in the life of Jill’s father? 5. Jill described her father as “fiercely independent”. What other good qualities did Jill’s father have? Explain why. Passage 6 Scientists have found the remains of 2300‑year‑old grain wine from the Warring States Period (475 BC‑221 BC) at the Shanjiabao Qin cemetery in Guyuan, Ningxia. Experts found liquid wine inside a special‑shaped bronze pot, which was a common old Qin‑style container. Around 3,740 ml of ancient liquid was collected from the bronze pot. The cemetery lies near the old Great Wall built by Qin people. By 2024, workers have dug up as many as 183 tombs here. Scientists think highly of this discovery, because liquid wine from ancient times is very hard to find. Many ancient wine samples have been found, yet most exist only as solid residues. The pot could keep the wine well mainly because of its special structure. Cloth and special mud were used inside the pot, which built a good double‑layer protection. It kept outside dirt away and slowed liquid loss, so the old wine could stay for more than two thousand years. Scientists made great efforts to figure out the ingredients and brewing process. A research team from two different organizations did full tests. They used many research ways such as infrared tests and microscope checks on grain pieces. The tests found 24 kinds of matter and proved the liquid was wine made from grains. Further tests showed people ground and heated grains before making wine. Lab tests give us important old‑history findings. People living in Qin times had good skills for making wine. They could finish grain‑changing and wine‑making work at the same time. This means their brewing skills were advanced for their era. This remarkable finding carries far‑reaching academic value for historians. This discovery provides real evidence for the study of pre‑Qin farming, food culture and old‑time skills. Besides, this well‑kept liquid fills in missing research information about ancient wine‑making in Ningxia. 1. Where was the 2300‑year‑old grain wine relic discovered? 2. Why could the bronze pot keep the ancient wine for such a long time? 3. What can we infer about wine‑making in the Qin period? 4. What do scientists need to do to learn about ancient drinks besides doing different tests? 5. What academic value does this wine relic bring? Passage 7 Recently, a popular animated film The Eight Immortals has attracted large numbers of viewers and triggered wide discussions about traditional Chinese culture. While many people are amazed by the wonderful fairy tale, they are more deeply moved by the spirit of ordinary heroes that lies behind the ancient story. Different from those powerful and perfect gods in many legends, the Eight Immortals are originally ordinary people from all kinds of jobs in society. They were once farmers, artists and common workers who lived simple lives and faced daily troubles just like us. They were not born with supreme power or great fame, and they even had small weaknesses, which makes their images vivid, true and easy for audiences to love and respect. What turns these common people into unforgettable heroes is their kindness, courage and strong sense of responsibility. When local people suffered from disasters and unfair treatment, the eight figures chose to stand up bravely rather than mind their own business. With their unique skills and firm belief, they tried their best to protect the weak and save people in need. The famous saying “Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing their own magic power” does not mean showing off, but means everyone tries their best to help others. This explains why modern people admire these folk heroes so much. True heroism does not belong only to great people. Instead, it exists in ordinary people who keep kindness in their hearts and dare to take responsibility. This traditional spirit has lasted for thousands of years and has deeply influenced Chinese people’s values. This meaningful film not only helps us enjoy the beauty of traditional Chinese culture, but also teaches us a precious lesson. Every ordinary person can be a hero. If we stick to goodness and bravely take on our duties, we can also bring warmth and hope to the people around us. 1. What attracts people most deeply when they watch the animated film “The Eight Immortals”? 2. What does the saying“Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing their own magic power”mean in the text? 3. Why do audiences love and respect the image of the Eight Immortals? 4. What makes ordinary people become heroes according to the passage? 5. What lesson can we learn from the film? Passage 8 Close your eyes and think of the Mid-Autumn Festival. When you think of this festival, a bright, round moon may come to your mind. It is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. With the doors and windows open in the cool autumn, the Mid-Autumn Festival becomes one of the best times to enjoy the beautiful moon. This year, it will fall on September 25. The moon has long been connected with people’s feelings. In Chinese culture, the round moon means "reunion". So countless Chinese poets have connected the moon with their families on the Mid-Autumn Festival. When they look at the moon, they often miss their families who are far away. One of the most famous works comes from Su Shi, a great poet of the Song Dynasty (960-1279). On the Mid-Autumn night 900 years ago, he was far from his family. He expressed his deep longing for them by writing, "We have sorrow and joy; we part or meet again; The moon is bright or dim and she may wax or wane." (人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺). Even today, these words still show Chinese people’s wishes to stay with their families on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Interestingly, although people all over the world share the same moon, different cultures have unique stories about it. In Māori culture, people compare the bright round moon to beautiful ladies. Ancient Romans called the moon "Luna", after their goddess of the moon. They believed the moon had the power to influence people’s moods. This gave rise to the word "lunatic", which means "crazy". Today, the Mid-Autumn Festival is still very popular. On that night, families usually get together to have a big dinner. After dinner, they sit outside, eat mooncakes and enjoy the bright moon together. It is a warm and happy time for every Chinese family. 1. What does the round moon mean in Chinese culture? 2. What do Chinese families usually do to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival? 3. What feeling does Su Shi’s poem mainly express? 4. Why do people in different cultures create different moon stories even though they watch the same moon? 5. What is the main idea of the passage? Passage 9 Teenage Problems: It’s Okay Not to Be Okay Being a teenager isn’t always easy. A recent report shows that about 18% of teenagers may have problems with their minds. What are the main challenges? School Pressure Many students feel stressed because they have to study hard and worry about exams. Some can’t understand their teachers in class and fall behind in their lessons. When looking at exam papers, they feel so nervous that their minds go blank. According to a survey, nearly 70% of teens feel pressure to get good grades. Body Changes and Self-Image During teenage years, our bodies go through big changes-growing taller, voice deepening, and skin breaking out. These changes happen at different times for everyone. Some of your classmates may have started early, while others haven’t. This can make you feel awkward (尴尬的) or different. Many teens worry about their weight, height, or appearance. When they look in the mirror, they feel unhappy and lose confidence. Some even compare themselves with “perfect” photos on social media, which makes them feel even worse. Social and Friendship Troubles Others have trouble getting on well with classmates or parents. Some teens argue with others over different opinions and even hurt themselves when they feel upset. Many also feel stressed because they want to be accepted by their classmates and want to look good. These worries about school grades, body image, and friendships can come together and make them feel very stressed. The biggest problem is that they keep all these feelings to themselves and never ask for help. Worryingly, many students who face these problems don’t ask for help. Some think they will look strange if they talk to a doctor. Others don’t want to share their secrets. What Can You Do? If you’re facing these problems, remember you’re not alone. Almost everyone goes through these challenges. Here’s some advice: - Talk to someone you trust—parents, teachers, or friends. - Join group activities and play sports to feel better and stay healthy. - Try breathing exercises before exams to relax. · Remember that everyone develops at their own pace-there is no “right” timing for body changes. See a doctor if you feel unhappy or unwell for a long time. It’s normal to struggle sometimes. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 1. How do you understand the title “It’s Okay Not to Be Okay”? 2. What can we learn from the advice “everyone develops at their own pace”? 3. What does the underlined sentence “keep all these feelings to themselves” mean in the passage? 4. What is the writer’s attitude towards teenagers’ problems? 5. The writer says “asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.” Do you agree or disagree? Give one reason and one personal example to support your opinion. (5词左右) Passage 10 My Time, My Joy—A Teenager’s Guide to Hobbies Do you ever feel like you have nothing interesting to do in your free time? You are not alone. Many teenagers struggle to find hobbies that truly bring them joy. However, having a hobby is not just about killing time—it can also improve your mental health, build your confidence, and even help you make new friends. Dr. Liu Wei, a child psychologist at Sunshine Mental Health Center, has studied teenagers’ hobbies for over ten years. She believes that everyone needs at least one activity that they do just for fun. “A hobby should be something you choose freely, not something you’re forced to do,” Dr. Liu explains. “It should make you feel excited rather than stressed.” So how do you find the right hobby? First, think about what you already enjoy. Do you like being outdoors? Then you might try hiking, snowboarding, or simply walking in the park. Do you enjoy creating things? Then painting, writing stories, or making short films could be perfect for you. Second, don’t be afraid to try something new. You can join a club at school, take a class, or learn from online videos. The “Joy Club” is a new programme launched by the City Library. It offers various free workshops for teenagers, including photography, board games, film reviews, and even make-up art. The workshops are held every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the library’s activity centre. Many teenagers have gained new skills and made new friends through this programme. Dr. Liu also reminds teenagers to balance their hobbies with their responsibilities. “Hobbies should bring joy, not stress,” she says. “It’s okay to spend time on your hobbies, but don’t forget about your studies and family time. The key is to manage your time well, so that you can enjoy both your work and your play.” 1. Do many teenagers struggle to find hobbies that bring them joy? 2. What has Dr. Liu Wei studied for over ten years? 3. When are the “Joy Club” workshops held every week? 4. Where can teenagers attend the free workshops offered by the City Library? 5. Why does Dr. Liu say hobbies should be chosen freely? 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 考前押题09 回答问题（期中专项训练） 话题1伟大的人物（人物传记） 话题2 伟大的人物及思想 话题3 家庭生活 话题4 青少年成长（问题与建议） Passage 1 (Great people) Yang Zhenning, one of the greatest physicists and educators in the world, was born in Hefei, Anhui Province, in 1922. He devoted his whole life to scientific research and education, and left a deep and lasting influence on China and the whole world. On October 18, 2025, he passed away. When he was interviewed in his later years, he often talked about his lifelong connection with science and China. “I have been lucky to live in a time of great change,” he once said, “I have seen China rise from poverty (贫穷) to strength. That has been my greatest joy.” In 1945, Yang went to the United States for further study. He kept working hard on modern physics and made great achievements. In 1957, he and Tsung-Dao Lee won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their research on parity non-conservation in weak interactions (弱相互作用中宇称不守恒). They became the first Chinese scientists to win this great honor. After living and working abroad for many years, Yang returned to China in 1999 and worked as a professor at Tsinghua University. At Tsinghua, he tried his best to build a world-class physics research center. He made great efforts to train and encourage young scientists. He donated most of his savings to set up scholarships (奖学金) for poor but excellent students. Even in his 80s and 90s, he still taught undergraduates in person. When a student once asked him why he kept teaching at such an old age, Yang smiled and said, “________.” Yang was a true patriot (爱国者) who always cared about his motherland, a great scientist who kept searching for truth, and a responsible educator who devoted himself to training talents. His spirit will always encourage Chinese teenagers to study hard and try to achieve their dreams. 1. When and where was Yang Zhenning born? 2. What’s Yang’s greatest joy? 3.

Passage 2 (Great ideas) Long ago, a wise man called Sunzi lived in the State of Wu. He was good at leading armies. He wrote a book called The Art of War. It is a short book with just around 6000 words. However, it has been very important for over 2000 years. It is not just about military strategies (策略) but it also has lessons about how to make decisions. The wise lessons can be used in many areas, such as international relations, business management and even sports. Let’s explore the main rules together. Think about all the details Sunzi begins by talking about the importance of strategy. War is a matter of life and death for a country. Leaders must consider all the details. For example, they have to decide if the people support a war. They must think about the skills of military leaders and the strength of soldiers. The weather and landscape are also important. For a successful result, there must be a plan. Without a plan, there is a chance that they might fail. Follow the rules but use them creatively Sunzi says that when there is conflict, both sides might be strong. To win, one side must surprise the enemy. In battle or challenge, it is important to do things in an unexpected way. That means a person should use rules creatively to solve difficult problems. They should think about new methods to combine strategies. Focus on a quick victory Sunzi says that winning a war quickly is important. A battle that continues for too long will make soldiers tired and worried. The enemy will take advantage of this and try to beat them. Sunzi believes that the best strategy is to find a way to win without using too much time. Focus on each task and solve problems as quickly as possible. Fight without doing too much harm Sunzi also talks about the wise way to fight. In war, the best way is to use correct strategies to stop the enemy’s plans in advance. The next best is to isolate the enemy from their supporting parties. The next in order is to beat their armies in the field. The worst choice is to attack their cities. The goal should always be to fight by doing as little harm as possible to the other country. Peace is the best victory Sunzi thinks that a country can fight to win every battle, but this might not be the best result. The war might destroy a lot of the country. Sunzi believes that true strength lies in winning without fighting. It brings peace and safety to the country and its people. A truly wise leader should keep this in mind. The rules in this book are some of Sunzi’s key strategies for winning in war. But following rules without thinking will not bring a successful result. Every situation is different. Wise people apply (运用) the rules differently for each situation. To use the rules well is an art. As a result, the title of Sunzi’s book was translated as The Art of War. 1. Why has Sunzi’s book been important for over 2000 years? 2. What must leaders consider according to Sunzi before starting a war? 3. How should a person use the rules to solve difficult problems? 4. Why was the title of Sunzi’s book translated as The Art of War? 5. Which of Sunzi’s rules do you think you can apply in daily life? Why? 【答案】1. Because it is not just about military strategies but it also has lessons about how to make decisions, and the wise lessons can be used in many areas. 2. They must consider all the details. 3. They should use rules creatively. 4. Because to use the rules well is an art. Different situations need different ways to apply the rules. 5. I think “Think about all the details”. Because when I prepare for exams, I need to think about all details and make a good plan. 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了古代军事家孙子及其著作《孙子兵法》，阐述了书中的几条核心策略规则及其在现代生活中的应用价值。 1. 第一段指出“It is not just about military strategies (策略) but it also has lessons about how to make decisions. The wise lessons can be used in many areas, such as international relations, business management and even sports.”，这本书不仅讲军事策略，还有做决定的道理，这些智慧能应用在很多领域。 2. 第二段指出“Leaders must consider all the details. For example, they have to decide if the people support a war. They must think about the skills of military leaders and the strength of soldiers. The weather and landscape are also important.”，开战前领导者必须考虑全部细节，包括民众支持、将领能力、士兵实力、天气和地形。 3. 第三段指出“That means a person should use rules creatively to solve difficult problems. They should think about new methods to combine strategies.”，解决难题时要创造性运用规则。 4. 最后一段指出“Wise people apply (运用) the rules differently for each situation. To use the rules well is an art. As a result, the title of Sunzi’s book was translated as The Art of War.”，用好这些法则本身就是一门艺术，不同情况要灵活运用，所以书名这样翻译。 5. 本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，只要选一条法则并给出合理生活理由即可。 Passage 3 (Family traditions) How many times have you heard—or said—“I’ll do it tomorrow”—when the dishes are waiting or your room looks like a storm has passed through? For many teenagers, housework feels like a small mountain standing between them and their free time. Yet a growing number of researchers say those little jobs are worth far more than they look. A long-term study followed young teenagers for many years and found something interesting. Those who regularly did chores—setting the table, folding clothes, walking the dog—were more likely to grow into confident and helpful adults. “Everyday tasks give children a feeling: I am part of this family, and my work matters,” one researcher explained. “That feeling of being useful”, she adds, “is a powerful fuel for growing up”. Chores also teach skills that no test can measure. Cooking a simple meal, finding the best price at the corner shop, or fixing a broken lamp teaches planning, patience and the art of solving problems step by step. One boy proudly makes noodles for the family when his parents come home late. “It’s not just about the noodles,” says his mother. “He sees what we do, and he joins in.” Some parents, however, worry that chores will eat into study time. Most experts see it differently. Studies in several countries have found no sign that proper housework hurts grades. In fact, when students are stuck on homework, a ten-minute break spent tidying up or walking the dog often helps them return with a clearer head. So the kitchen need not be the enemy of the desk. Young people who learn to serve at home, experts say, grow into adults who can stand on their own—and who care about the world beyond their own rooms. 1. What do many teenagers think of housework? 2. What did the long-term study find about teenagers who often did chores? 3. What is “a powerful fuel for growing up” according to the researcher? 4. What have studies found about chores and grades? 5. What can doing chores teach? 【答案】1. They think it feels like a small mountain. 2. They grow into confident and helpful adults. 3. The feeling of being useful. 4. Proper housework doesn’t hurt grades. 5. Planning, patience and problem-solving skills. 【解析】本文是一篇议论文，阐述了做家务对青少年的积极作用，反驳家务影响学习成绩的看法。 1. 根据第一段中的“For many teenagers, housework feels like a small mountain standing between them and their free time.”可知，很多青少年觉得家务像一座小山，阻碍他们的空闲时间。 2. 根据第二段中的“Those who regularly did chores—setting the table, folding clothes, walking the dog—were more likely to grow into confident and helpful adults.”可知，经常做家务的青少年更有可能成长为自信、乐于助人的成年人。 3. 根据第二段中的“‘Everyday tasks give children a feeling: I am part of this family, and my work matters,’ one researcher explained. ‘That feeling of being useful’, she adds, ‘is a powerful fuel for growing up.’”可知，感到自身有用的感觉是成长的强大动力。因此，“a powerful fuel for growing up”指代的是前文提到的“That feeling of being useful”。 4. 根据第四段中的“Studies in several countries have found no sign that proper housework hurts grades.”可知，数个国家的研究均未发现适当家务会损害成绩的迹象。 5. 根据第三段中的“Chores also teach skills that no test can measure. Cooking a simple meal, finding the best price at the corner shop, or fixing a broken lamp teaches planning, patience and the art of solving problems step by step.”可知，做家务可以教会规划、耐心以及一步步解决问题的能力。 Passage 4 (A better me) Innovation (创新) plays an important role in improving life and developing society. It is not just about big inventions but also about small changes in daily life. Everyone can be innovative if they are willing to practice and explore. First, innovation needs practice. You cannot create something new just by thinking. You must do it with your hands. For example, if you want to make a better school bag, you need to cut cloth and design it many times. Each time you fail, you learn something useful. Thomas Edison tried thousands of times before he made the light bulb work. Practice turns simple ideas into real things. Second, innovation requires courage. Many people are afraid of making mistakes. That’s why they only follow old ways. But innovators are different. They are brave to ask “why” and “what if”. When they meet problems, they do not give up. They try strange ideas that others may laugh at. This courage helps them find new methods that no one has tried before. Third, innovation calls for an open mind. You should look at things in different ways. A bottle is not just for holding water. It can become a flower pot or a pencil holder. When you connect old things in new ways, you create surprises. Reading books and talking with different people can give you fresh thoughts. To develop your innovative spirit, start with small steps. Remember, innovation is not a gift for special people. It is a habit that anyone can build through practice, courage and an open mind. Only in this habit will your innovative spirit grow day by day. 1. What is innovation about? 2. Why do many people only follow old ways? 3. What does innovation need according to the text? 4. What does the writer want to tell us about innovative spirit at the end of the passage? What three key qualities help us form this spirit? 5. Why should people develop innovative spirit? Write 30 words or more. 【答案】1. It is not just about big inventions but also about small changes in daily life. 2. Because they are afraid of making mistakes. 3. Practice, courage and an open mind. 4. The writer tells us innovative spirit is a daily habit instead of a natural gift for certain people. We can develop it with constant practice, bravery and an open mind little by little. 5. Because innovation plays an important role in improving life and developing society. Developing innovative spirit helps us come up with new ideas, solve problems better and make our lives and our world better.

To most of us, they are just a husband and wife working hard to make a living. Yet their plain story has moved millions of people across the whole country. Their trouble began years ago. Their only son was found to have malignant bone cancer, and the operation cost nearly one million yuan. For this common family, that was like a mountain no one could move. Day and night, they worried and wept, afraid that their son would be taken away. Just when darkness filled their lives, hope appeared. Thousands of strangers learned their story and rushed to help, donating more than 400,000 yuan to support the operation. Their selfless love became a ray of light in the couple's darkest hours. However, fate played a cruel joke. In 2020, at only 24, their son lost his fight against the disease and left forever. Heartbroken as they were, the couple made an amazing choice. They decided to return every single yuan of the donations. "No one owes us anything," they said. "People gave us love, and we must return it with honesty." The next six years were filled with sweat and hardship. The couple worked several part-time jobs at the same time. They ate simple meals, wore old clothes, and saved every coin they could. Slowly, the huge debt became smaller and smaller, until finally it was gone. Why does their story move us so deeply? Perhaps because they chose honesty when nobody was watching. Perhaps because, in the deepest pain, they never stopped thinking about others. What is even more touching is that they did not stop after paying back the money. They kept volunteering, sending warmth to more people who needed it. Their spirit shines like a light in the dark. It teaches us that true greatness lies not in wealth or fame, but in keeping a promise and returning kindness. When life knocked them down, they stood up again. And now, they hold the light for others — showing us what courage, honesty, and love truly mean. 1. What does the underlined sentence “fate played a cruel joke” mean in the passage? 2. According to Paragraph 2, what trouble did the family meet with besides their son’s serious illness? 3. What can we learn about the couple from their experiences of paying back the donations? 4. Why is the couple’s story so moving to millions of people? 5. What quality do you think is the most valuable from the couple? Please give your reason.（开放性问题） 【答案】 1. It means that though they got help from strangers, their son still died of his illness in the end. 2. The high cost of the operation was too heavy for the common family. 3. They were hard‑working, strong‑minded and kept their promise no matter how hard life was. 4. Because they chose honesty when no one was watching and still cared for others even in great pain. Besides, they continued to help others after paying back all the money. 5. One possible answer: I think honesty is the most valuable. Though they suffered a lot, they still returned all the donations to keep their honesty.（答案不唯一，言之有理即可） Passage 2 Do you often put off your homework until the last minute? If so, you might be a procrastinator. Procrastination (拖延症)is a common problem for many students. It means putting off tasks that need to be done until later, even though you know it might cause trouble. So why do students procrastinate? Some tasks are too difficult, so students avoid them. Also, there are many distractions (分散注意力的事物)around them, like smartphones and social media, which make it easy to waste time. According to a recent study, students who don’t do their work on time often feel more stressed (紧张的) and worried. It causes them to have worse sleep quality and poor health. What’s more, when everything is left until the last minute, students have to work in a hurry. This often results in more mistakes and lower grades on average. Luckily, there are ways to fight procrastination. Experts suggest breaking down big tasks into smaller steps. This makes the work seem less scary and easier to start. You can set a clear deadline (截止期限)for each step. After you finish it, give yourself a small reward (奖励)—this can also help. Another useful tip is to create a study environment that is free from distractions. For example, you can turn off your phone or reduce screen time while studying. Besides, when your mind is fresh, you should do the most challenging task first. By learning to manage time and tasks well, students can overcome procrastination. This will not only lead to better grades but also reduce stress and create more free time for hobbies and relaxation. 1. What are the distractions mentioned in Paragraph 2? 2. How do students who don’t do their work on time often feel? 3. What do experts advise us to do with big tasks? 4. What should we do when our minds are fresh? 5. Give another tip to help us stop procrastination. (Your answer should be different from the tips in the text.) 【答案】1. Smartphones and social media. 2. They often feel more stressed and worried. 3. Break down big tasks into smaller steps. 4. We should do the most challenging task first. 5. We can ask our parents or friends to remind us to finish tasks on time./We can make a daily study plan and stick to it. 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学生拖延症的定义、产生原因、带来的危害以及克服拖延症的具体建议。 1. 根据文章第2段“Also, there are many distractions around them, like smartphones and social media.”可知文中提到的分散注意力的事物是智能手机和社交媒体，答案是原文直接信息。 2. 根据文章第3段“students who don't do their work on time often feel more stressed and worried.”可知这些学生经常感到更焦虑和担忧，这是原文中的直接信息。 3. 根据文章第4段“Experts suggest breaking down big tasks into smaller steps.”可知专家建议将大任务分解成小步骤，是原文直接给出的专家建议。 4. 根据文章第4段“when your mind is fresh, you should do the most challenging task first.”可知头脑清醒时应先做最具挑战性的任务，答案为原文直接引述。 5. 本题为开放性问题，要求提出文中未提及的建议，合理即可。 Passage 3 Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people. My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.” At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again as long as I insisted on practicing walking. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school—walking on my own! When the Great Depression hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again. Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world—Holiday Inn. In 1979, my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year. You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you. 1. What happened when Kemmons’s mother was eighteen? 2. Did Kemmons and his mother live a happy life when he was nine months old? 3. How did Kemmons’s mother spoke to her son after he was hit by a car? 4. When did the real turning point cause Kemmons to start a motel by himself? 5. What do you think of Kemmons’s success? Why? 【答案】1. Kemmons’s father died./Her husband died. 2. No, they didn’t. 3. She spoke to her son in her gentle, loving voice, telling him that no matter what those doctors said. 4. On a vacation/holiday (he took) with his wife and five kids in 1951. 5. Mom’s encouragement, clear goals, self-confidence and hard work makes him succeed. 【解析】本文主要讲述了作者在母亲的呵护和鼓励下，努力成长并获得成功的故事。 1. 根据“My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen.”可知，在母亲十八岁时，作者的父亲去世了。故填Kemmons’s father died./Her husband died. 2. 根据“My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life.”可知，在作者九个月大时，他的父亲过世了，他和母亲过着艰难的生活。故填No, they didn’t. 3. 根据“Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again as long as I insisted on practicing walking.”可知，在作者车祸后，母亲用温柔有爱的声音对他说，无论医生说什么，只要你坚持练习就能够走路。故填She spoke to her son in her gentle, loving voice, telling him that no matter what those doctors said. 4. 根据“But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951.”可知，真正的转折点发生在1951年，我与妻子和五个孩子一起度假的时候。故填On a vacation/holiday (he took) with his wife and five kids in 1951. 5. 开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：Mom’s encouragement, clear goals, self-confidence and hard work makes him succeed.

My grandfather died when my dad was just a baby, and his mom didn’t remarry (再婚) until he was in high school. He grew up during the hard years of the 1930s and 1940s. Instead of letting the hard times destroy him, my father became fiercely independent. He decided to create a better life for his own family. He didn’t just focus on money. He decided to give my sister and me the relationship he had never had. He wanted to be there for us all the time. One of my favorite memories is him lying down beside me at night as I fell asleep. In bed, I would ask him about his past. I heard stories about waking up at 5 a.m. to deliver newspapers before walking to school. He told me about breaking windows with frozen newspapers because they were too heavy. He talked about coming to an empty house every day, fixing his own breakfast, and dealing with a difficult stepfather. But he also told stories of luck. He told me how selling his paper route gave him his first savings. He talked about a lucky conversation with a friend that led to a stranger offering him a full scholarship (奖学金). He arrived at college with a suitcase and less than $30. Later, I learned about my great-grandfather, George. He was a man with a simple but powerful faith. My dad spent a summer with him, sitting on the ground and talking. He often repeated George’s words to me: “Jill, when you have to run your head through a brick wall, start running and trust that there will be a hole.” My dad’s stories were not just words. They became a part of me. 1. Did Jill’s grandfather die when her father was a baby? 2. What kind of parent did Jill’s father decide to be? 3. What examples show that Jill’s father lived a hard life? 4. What are the “brick walls” in the life of Jill’s father? 5. Jill described her father as “fiercely independent”. What other good qualities did Jill’s father have? Explain why. 【答案】1. Yes, he did. 2. He decided to be a father who was always there for his children and give them close relationship. 3. He had to get up at 5 a.m. to deliver newspapers before school, broke windows with heavy frozen newspapers, came home to an empty house every day, fixed breakfast by himself and dealt with a difficult stepfather. 4.

Experts found liquid wine inside a special‑shaped bronze pot, which was a common old Qin‑style container. Around 3,740 ml of ancient liquid was collected from the bronze pot. The cemetery lies near the old Great Wall built by Qin people. By 2024, workers have dug up as many as 183 tombs here. Scientists think highly of this discovery, because liquid wine from ancient times is very hard to find. Many ancient wine samples have been found, yet most exist only as solid residues. The pot could keep the wine well mainly because of its special structure. Cloth and special mud were used inside the pot, which built a good double‑layer protection. It kept outside dirt away and slowed liquid loss, so the old wine could stay for more than two thousand years. Scientists made great efforts to figure out the ingredients and brewing process. A research team from two different organizations did full tests. They used many research ways such as infrared tests and microscope checks on grain pieces. The tests found 24 kinds of matter and proved the liquid was wine made from grains. Further tests showed people ground and heated grains before making wine. Lab tests give us important old‑history findings. People living in Qin times had good skills for making wine. They could finish grain‑changing and wine‑making work at the same time. This means their brewing skills were advanced for their era. This remarkable finding carries far‑reaching academic value for historians. This discovery provides real evidence for the study of pre‑Qin farming, food culture and old‑time skills. Besides, this well‑kept liquid fills in missing research information about ancient wine‑making in Ningxia. 1. Where was the 2300‑year‑old grain wine relic discovered? 2. Why could the bronze pot keep the ancient wine for such a long time? 3. What can we infer about wine‑making in the Qin period? 4. What do scientists need to do to learn about ancient drinks besides doing different tests? 5. What academic value does this wine relic bring? 【答案】 1. At the Shanjiabao Qin cemetery in Guyuan, Ningxia. 2. Because its special structure formed a good double‑layer protection. It kept outside dirt away and slowed liquid loss. 3. People in the Qin period had advanced wine‑making skills for that time. 4. They need to study ancient cultural relics and related historical materials. 5. It offers real evidence for the study of pre‑Qin farming, food culture and old‑time skills, and fills in missing research information about ancient wine‑making in Ningxia. 【解析】本文介绍宁夏固原山家堡秦墓地出土 2300 年前战国谷物酒的考古发现，介绍出土器物、陶罐保存美酒的原理、检测过程以及重大学术价值。 1. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段 “Scientists have found the remains of 2300‑year‑old grain wine from the Warring States Period (475 BC‑221 BC) at the Shanjiabao Qin cemetery in Guyuan, Ningxia.”，可以直接找到出土地点。答题注意地点专有名词书写准确。 2. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段 “The pot could keep the wine well mainly because of its special structure.

While many people are amazed by the wonderful fairy tale, they are more deeply moved by the spirit of ordinary heroes that lies behind the ancient story. Different from those powerful and perfect gods in many legends, the Eight Immortals are originally ordinary people from all kinds of jobs in society. They were once farmers, artists and common workers who lived simple lives and faced daily troubles just like us. They were not born with supreme power or great fame, and they even had small weaknesses, which makes their images vivid, true and easy for audiences to love and respect. What turns these common people into unforgettable heroes is their kindness, courage and strong sense of responsibility. When local people suffered from disasters and unfair treatment, the eight figures chose to stand up bravely rather than mind their own business. With their unique skills and firm belief, they tried their best to protect the weak and save people in need. The famous saying “Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing their own magic power” does not mean showing off, but means everyone tries their best to help others. This explains why modern people admire these folk heroes so much. True heroism does not belong only to great people. Instead, it exists in ordinary people who keep kindness in their hearts and dare to take responsibility. This traditional spirit has lasted for thousands of years and has deeply influenced Chinese people’s values. This meaningful film not only helps us enjoy the beauty of traditional Chinese culture, but also teaches us a precious lesson. Every ordinary person can be a hero. If we stick to goodness and bravely take on our duties, we can also bring warmth and hope to the people around us. 1. What attracts people most deeply when they watch the animated film “The Eight Immortals”? 2. What does the saying“Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing their own magic power”mean in the text? 3. Why do audiences love and respect the image of the Eight Immortals? 4.

When you think of this festival, a bright, round moon may come to your mind. It is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. With the doors and windows open in the cool autumn, the Mid-Autumn Festival becomes one of the best times to enjoy the beautiful moon. This year, it will fall on September 25. The moon has long been connected with people’s feelings. In Chinese culture, the round moon means "reunion". So countless Chinese poets have connected the moon with their families on the Mid-Autumn Festival. When they look at the moon, they often miss their families who are far away. One of the most famous works comes from Su Shi, a great poet of the Song Dynasty (960-1279). On the Mid-Autumn night 900 years ago, he was far from his family. He expressed his deep longing for them by writing, "We have sorrow and joy; we part or meet again; The moon is bright or dim and she may wax or wane." (人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺). Even today, these words still show Chinese people’s wishes to stay with their families on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Interestingly, although people all over the world share the same moon, different cultures have unique stories about it. In Māori culture, people compare the bright round moon to beautiful ladies. Ancient Romans called the moon "Luna", after their goddess of the moon. They believed the moon had the power to influence people’s moods. This gave rise to the word "lunatic", which means "crazy". Today, the Mid-Autumn Festival is still very popular. On that night, families usually get together to have a big dinner. After dinner, they sit outside, eat mooncakes and enjoy the bright moon together. It is a warm and happy time for every Chinese family. 1. What does the round moon mean in Chinese culture? 2. What do Chinese families usually do to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival? 3. What feeling does Su Shi’s poem mainly express? 4. Why do people in different cultures create different moon stories even though they watch the same moon? 5. What is the main idea of the passage? 1. It means "reunion". 2. They get together to have a big dinner, eat mooncakes and enjoy the bright moon together. 3. It mainly expresses his deep longing for his family and his understanding of life’s joys and sorrows. 4. Because different cultures have different ideas, beliefs and feelings about the moon. 5. The passage introduces the Mid-Autumn Festival, moon-related Chinese poems and moon stories from different cultures. Passage 9 Teenage Problems: It’s Okay Not to Be Okay Being a teenager isn’t always easy. A recent report shows that about 18% of teenagers may have problems with their minds. What are the main challenges? School Pressure Many students feel stressed because they have to study hard and worry about exams. Some can’t understand their teachers in class and fall behind in their lessons. When looking at exam papers, they feel so nervous that their minds go blank. According to a survey, nearly 70% of teens feel pressure to get good grades. Body Changes and Self-Image During teenage years, our bodies go through big changes-growing taller, voice deepening, and skin breaking out. These changes happen at different times for everyone. Some of your classmates may have started early, while others haven’t. This can make you feel awkward (尴尬的) or different. Many teens worry about their weight, height, or appearance. When they look in the mirror, they feel unhappy and lose confidence. Some even compare themselves with “perfect” photos on social media, which makes them feel even worse. Social and Friendship Troubles Others have trouble getting on well with classmates or parents. Some teens argue with others over different opinions and even hurt themselves when they feel upset. Many also feel stressed because they want to be accepted by their classmates and want to look good. These worries about school grades, body image, and friendships can come together and make them feel very stressed. The biggest problem is that they keep all these feelings to themselves and never ask for help. Worryingly, many students who face these problems don’t ask for help. Some think they will look strange if they talk to a doctor. Others don’t want to share their secrets. What Can You Do? If you’re facing these problems, remember you’re not alone. Almost everyone goes through these challenges. Here’s some advice: - Talk to someone you trust—parents, teachers, or friends. - Join group activities and play sports to feel better and stay healthy. - Try breathing exercises before exams to relax. · Remember that everyone develops at their own pace-there is no “right” timing for body changes. See a doctor if you feel unhappy or unwell for a long time. It’s normal to struggle sometimes. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 1. How do you understand the title “It’s Okay Not to Be Okay”? 2. What can we learn from the advice “everyone develops at their own pace”? 3. What does the underlined sentence “keep all these feelings to themselves” mean in the passage? 4. What is the writer’s attitude towards teenagers’ problems? 5.

Passage 10 My Time, My Joy—A Teenager’s Guide to Hobbies Do you ever feel like you have nothing interesting to do in your free time? You are not alone. Many teenagers struggle to find hobbies that truly bring them joy. However, having a hobby is not just about killing time—it can also improve your mental health, build your confidence, and even help you make new friends. Dr. Liu Wei, a child psychologist at Sunshine Mental Health Center, has studied teenagers’ hobbies for over ten years. She believes that everyone needs at least one activity that they do just for fun. “A hobby should be something you choose freely, not something you’re forced to do,” Dr. Liu explains. “It should make you feel excited rather than stressed.” So how do you find the right hobby? First, think about what you already enjoy. Do you like being outdoors? Then you might try hiking, snowboarding, or simply walking in the park. Do you enjoy creating things? Then painting, writing stories, or making short films could be perfect for you. Second, don’t be afraid to try something new. You can join a club at school, take a class, or learn from online videos. The “Joy Club” is a new programme launched by the City Library. It offers various free workshops for teenagers, including photography, board games, film reviews, and even make-up art. The workshops are held every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the library’s activity centre. Many teenagers have gained new skills and made new friends through this programme. Dr. Liu also reminds teenagers to balance their hobbies with their responsibilities. “Hobbies should bring joy, not stress,” she says. “It’s okay to spend time on your hobbies, but don’t forget about your studies and family time. The key is to manage your time well, so that you can enjoy both your work and your play.” 1. Do many teenagers struggle to find hobbies that bring them joy? 2.
