专题08 任务型阅读题 （Units 1-3，期中复习精准练） 目录导航 基础入门训练5篇 1 进阶拓展训练5篇 6 能力综合实践4篇 11 基础入门训练5篇 一、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) Emma still remembered the river of her childhood—crystal clear, brimming with fish, and shaded by willow trees whose branches kissed the water. She and her friends swam in it during summers, their laughter echoing across the fields. But now, when Emma returned to the village, she was shocked. As she stood on the same riverbank, she saw a different scene: the water was dirty, littered with plastic bottles and floating rubbish, and the willows had dried. A sign read: No Swimming. Dangerous Water. Her heart sank. She recalled her grandfather’s stories about how this river had nurtured (养育) their village for generations. Today, it smelled of decay (腐烂). Later, in school, her teacher explained how industrial waste and plastic pollution had polluted the river. “Water is life,” the teacher said, “but we’ve taken it for granted.” That afternoon, Emma decided to take action. She started a “Save Our River” campaign at school, organizing clean-up drives and writing to local officials. Slowly, others joined—students, teachers, even farmers. They removed trash, planted new trees, and monitored water quality. Months later, though the river wasn’t fully healed, Emma saw hopeful signs: dragonflies returning, water clearing, and children watching from the bank with curiosity. She knew it was just a start. One year later, Emma visited the river again. Task 1: Answer the questions 1．Emma didn’t swim in the river during summers in her childhood, did she?   2．What did Emma see on the riverbank when she returned? 3．Why was the river polluted? 4．Why did Emma’s heart sink? 5．What did Emma and other people do to heal the river? Task 2 6．Describe what happened when Emma visited the river one year later. What changes did she see? What challenges remained? (请给文章加一个合理的结尾，30个单词左右。) 【答案】1．Yes, she did. 2．She saw dirty water littered with plastic bottles and floating rubbish, dried willows, and a sign saying “No Swimming. Dangerous Water.” 3．Because industrial waste and plastic pollution polluted it. 4．Because she was shocked by the severely polluted river, which was completely different from the clear river in her childhood memories. 5．Emma started a “Save Our River” campaign at school, organizing clean-up drives and writing to local officials. Then they removed trash, planted new trees, and monitored water quality together. 6．The river was much cleaner, with fish swimming again. But some industrial waste still flowed in, reminding them the fight to save it was far from over. 【导语】本文主要介绍了Emma看到童年清澈的河流被污染后，发起“拯救我们的河流”行动，和众人一起治理河流，让水质逐渐改善，也认识到环保任务仍在继续。 【详解】 1．首段直接描述了这一场景：“She and her friends swam in it during summers”。因此答案是原文直接信息，表明她小时候夏天在河里游过泳。 2．第一段后半部分明确指出她看到的景象：“the water was dirty, littered with plastic bottles and floating rubbish, and the willows had dried. A sign read: No Swimming. Dangerous Water.”这是原文中的具体场景信息，直接提取整合。 3．第一段末尾直接给出了河流被污染的原因：“industrial waste and plastic pollution had polluted the river”。答案几乎是原文引述。 4．此答案是对第一段信息的概括总结。该段提到她记忆中童年的河清澈美好，而返乡后看到河水肮脏、柳树干枯、立着危险警示牌，与回忆形成强烈反差，因此她心情沉重。核心依据是“she saw a different scene: the water was dirty…A sign read: No Swimming. Dangerous Water.” 5．第二段明确列出了他们的行动：“They removed trash, planted new trees, and monitored water quality”，同时补充了Emma发起的“Save Our River”campaign、组织清洁活动、写信给当地官员等行为。这是原文中的具体行动信息，直接提取整合。 6．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，但观点需基于文中事实。结合文章内容和自己的理解，合理作答即可。 二、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) Your everyday decisions can really make a difference. Let’s look at a few “green questions” people often ask. ①In public toilets, is it better to use a paper towel or an electric hand dryer? Go for the hot air. The energy needed to heat and blow air onto your hands is far less than the energy needed to produce and transport paper towels and deal with the waste. One U.S. study found that about nine fully-grown trees are cut down each year just to supply one average fast-food restaurant with paper towels. The used towels then create over 450 kilograms of landfill waste. Hand dryers are also more hygienic. Doctors say the hot air kills germs (细菌) faster. ②I’m thirsty. Bottled water or tap? Each year, millions of liters of bottled water are sold. To make all that, about 100 million tons of plastic are produced around the world, and most of it ends up in landfills. When it comes to tap water, there are no transportation costs or carbon emissions. If the tap water in your home is safe to drink, buy your own water bottle. ③Solar hot water and solar panels: What’s the difference? It’s easy to confuse the two. One uses the sun’s heat to warm water. The other turns the sun’s energy into electricity. Imagine going camping with a big black barrel filled with water that sits in the sun. When you take a shower from the barrel, the water feels warm. That’s basically how a solar hot water system works. Solar electricity is more complicated (复杂的) and it’s still quite expensive. For much less money, you can use energy-efficient lights and appliances, and you can cut your carbon emissions by nearly half. Task 1: Answer the questions 1．What is the answer to the first “green question” in the article? 2．What are the two benefits of the recommended choice in public toilets? The energy for can be saved. 3．How do you understand the underlined word “hygienic”? The word “hygienic” has a similar meaning to the word “ ”. 4．Why is drinking tap water more environmentally friendly than drinking bottled water? 5．Why did the author say, “Your everyday decisions can really make a difference”? Use at least two examples from the article to support your answer. Task 2: 6．Which of the green choices in the article do you practice or plan to practice in your daily life? Why? 【答案】1．It is better to use an electric hand dryer. 2．producing and transporting paper towels and dealing with the waste 3．clean 4．Because tap water avoids plastic waste and transportation pollution. 5．Because small choices like using hand dryers instead of paper towels can save trees and reduce waste; choosing tap water over bottled water can cut plastic waste and carbon emissions。 6．开放性问题，言之有理即可。参考答案：I plan to drink tap water because it reduces plastic waste and protects the environment. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，通过解答三个“绿色问题”，说明日常小选择对环保的重要性，倡导绿色生活。 【详解】 1．根据“Go for the hot air.”可知，选择热风干手器。故填It is better to use an electric hand dryer. 2．根据“The energy needed to heat and blow air onto your hands is far less than the energy needed to produce and transport paper towels and deal with the waste.”可知，加热并将空气吹到手上所需的能量远远少于生产和运输纸巾以及处理废物所需的能量。故填producing and transporting paper towels and dealing with the waste。 3．根据“Hand dryers are also more hygienic. Doctors say the hot air kills germs (细菌) faster.”可知，后文提到了“医生说热空气杀死细菌更快”，因此划线词“hygienic”与clean“干净的”意思相近。故填clean。 4．根据“To make all that, about 100 million tons of plastic are produced…there are no transportation costs or carbon emissions.”可知，瓶装水产生塑料垃圾且有运输成本和碳排放，而自来水没有，故填Because tap water avoids plastic waste and transportation pollution. 5．根据“Go for the hot air. The energy needed to heat and blow air onto your hands is far less than the energy needed to produce and transport paper towels and deal with the waste.”和“Each year, millions of liters of bottled water are sold. To make all that, about 100 million tons of plastic are produced around the world, and most of it ends up in landfills. When it comes to tap water, there are no transportation costs or carbon emissions.”可知，选择干手器可减少树木砍伐和垃圾；选择自来水可减少塑料垃圾和碳排放。故填Because small choices like using hand dryers instead of paper towels can save trees and reduce waste; choosing tap water over bottled water can cut plastic waste and carbon emissions。 6．开放性问题，言之有理即可。参考答案：I plan to drink tap water because it reduces plastic waste and protects the environment. 三、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) Saving the Well (水井) Once upon a time, in a vast desert, there was a small village that depended on a single well for water. The well was not only a source of life for the villagers but also for the travelers who passed through the desert. One year, a really bad drought hit the village. The plants died, animals moved away, and the well’s water level started to drop. The villagers grew worried, knowing that they needed the well to live. Among them was a young boy named Amir. He noticed that while everyone was worried, very few were taking action to save the precious water. Amir decided to make a difference. He started by using less water for his daily needs and collected rainwater in pots. He also suggested planting drought-resistant (抗旱) plants around the well to keep the soil wet and reduce water evaporation (蒸发). At first, only a few villagers took him seriously, but as the well’s water even got lower, more started to listen. Amir taught the villagers how to create small basins around the plants to catch more rainwater and how to cover the ground with stones and leaves to reduce evaporation. He also organized teams to clean up around the well and dig small channels to direct any rainwater into the well. As the weeks passed, the villagers noticed a change. The water in the well didn’t go down as much, and the plants around it began to grow well. The efforts to save water paid off, and the village was able to make it through the drought. Task 1: Answer the questions 1．What happened to the village one year? 2．Few villagers took action to save the precious water at the very beginning, did they? 3．What did Amir use to collect rainwater at first? 4．When did the villagers start to take Amir’s suggestions seriously? 5．How did Amir and the villagers direct rainwater into the well? Task 2: 6．What do you think of Amir? Why? (Give one example) 【答案】1．A really bad drought hit the village. 2．No, they didn’t. 3．Pots. 4．When the well’s water even got lower. 5．By digging small channels. 6．Amir is smart and responsible. For example, he suggested planting drought-resistant plants around the well to keep the soil wet and reduce water evaporation, which helped save water effectively. 【导语】本文主要讲述了一个小村庄依赖一口水井，在遭遇严重干旱时，一个名叫Amir的男孩带领村民采取一系列措施拯救水井、应对干旱的故事。 【详解】 1．根据第二段“One year, a really bad drought hit the village.”可知，有一年，一场严重的干旱袭击了这个村庄。故填A really bad drought hit the village. 2．根据第二段“He noticed that while everyone was worried, very few were taking action to save the precious water.”以及第三段“At first, only a few villagers took him seriously”可知，一开始很少有村民采取行动来拯救珍贵的水，对反义疑问句的回答，事实是否定的就用否定回答，故填No, they didn’t. 3．根据第三段“He started by using less water for his daily needs and collected rainwater in pots.”可知，一开始Amir用罐子收集雨水。故填Pots. 4．根据第三段“At first, only a few villagers took him seriously, but as the well’s water even got lower, more started to listen.”可知，当水井的水位变得更低时，村民们开始认真对待Amir的建议。故填When the well’s water even got lower. 5．根据第四段“He also organized teams to clean up around the well and dig small channels to direct any rainwater into the well.”可知，Amir和村民们通过挖小沟渠把雨水引入井里。故填By digging small channels. 6．这是一个开放性问题，答案因人而异。但可以根据文章内容和常识来回答。故填Amir is smart and responsible. For example, he suggested planting drought-resistant plants around the well to keep the soil wet and reduce water evaporation, which helped save water effectively. 四、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) A new fleet of ocean-cleaning drones is being tested to remove plastic waste from the sea. These autonomous (自动的) devices use AI to detect and collect floating debris (碎片), helping to reduce the millions of tons of plastic polluting the oceans. The drones operate day and night, covering large areas more efficiently than human-led clean-up efforts. Traditional clean-up methods involve ships and nets, which are slow, expensive, and often harm marine life. The drones, however, are designed to avoid wildlife while targeting only plastic waste. Early trials show they can collect up to 100 kilograms of debris per day, making them a promising solution for large-scale ocean clean-up. One challenge is that strong ocean currents can push debris out of reach, making it harder for the drones to operate effectively. Dr. Hannah Lee, the project coordinator, says her team is improving the drones’ navigation systems to handle rough sea conditions. They are also developing ways to recycle the collected plastic into usable materials. If successful, these drones could play a key role in restoring marine ecosystems and protecting sea life. This technology offers hope for a cleaner, healthier ocean in the future. Task 1: Answer the questions 1．How do the drones identify plastic waste in the ocean? 2．Why are drones better than traditional clean-up methods? 3．How much debris can each drone collect daily? 4．What problem do strong ocean currents cause for the drones? 5．What aspect of the drones is Dr. Lee’s team improving? Task 2: 6．Explain how ocean-cleaning drones help marine life. (不超过30个词) 【答案】1．They use AI to detect and collect floating debris. 2．Because they are faster, cheaper, and do not harm marine life. 3．Up to 100 kilograms of debris per day. 4．They push debris out of reach, making it harder for the drones to operate effectively. 5．The drones’ navigation systems. 6．They remove plastic waste from oceans and avoid harming marine life, protecting sea life. 【导语】本文主要介绍了一款正在测试的海洋清洁无人机，包括其工作原理、相比传统清洁方式的优势、面临的挑战及未来意义。 【详解】 1．根据第一段“These autonomous devices use AI to detect and collect floating debris, helping to reduce the millions of tons of plastic polluting the oceans.”可知，它们利用人工智能来检测和收集漂浮塑料垃圾。故填They use AI to detect and collect floating debris. 2．根据第二段“Traditional clean-up methods involve ships and nets, which are slow, expensive, and often harm marine life. The drones, however, are designed to avoid wildlife while targeting only plastic waste.”可知，因为它们更快，更便宜，不伤害海洋生物。故填Because they are faster, cheaper, and do not harm marine life. 3．根据第二段“Early trials show they can collect up to 100 kilograms of debris per day, making them a promising solution for large-scale ocean clean-up.”可知，每架无人机每天可收集多达100公斤碎片。故填Up to 100 kilograms of debris per day. 4．根据第三段“One challenge is that strong ocean currents can push debris out of reach, making it harder for the drones to operate effectively.”可知，它们把碎片推到无法到达的地方，使无人机更难有效运行。故填They push debris out of reach, making it harder for the drones to operate effectively. 5．根据第三段“Dr. Hannah Lee, the project coordinator, says her team is improving the drones’ navigation systems to handle rough sea conditions.”可知，正在改进无人机导航系统。故填The drones’ navigation systems. 6．根据第一段“A new fleet of ocean-cleaning drones is being tested to remove plastic waste from the sea.”、第二段“The drones, however, are designed to avoid wildlife while targeting only plastic waste.”和最后一段“protecting sea life”可知，无人机通过清除海洋中的塑料垃圾，同时避开海洋生物 (不像传统方式会伤害它们)，以此来保护海洋生物。 故填They remove plastic waste from oceans and avoid harming marine life, protecting sea life. 五、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) Imagine you can have phone calls with your favourite star. Is it exciting? AI humans might help with it. Today, AI humans are popular at home and abroad. As we all know, AI humans now can be like real people. They can do real people’s voices and moves and even copy their personalities. But what else can they do? And what can only be done by humans but not AI? Digital humans today play roles in many ways. They can be idols, vloggers, reporters, and more. For example, China Daily has its own digital reporter, Yuanxi. She can speak English and cover the wonderful world of Chinese culture. She can process (处理) data fast. This can help the newsroom work faster. In 2022, a Chinese tech company showed its first digital idol Xi Jiajia. She can change her make-up and how she dresses, and even do webcasts (网络直播)! During China Fashion Week, Xi Jiajia became famous in an online virtual fashion show (虚拟时装秀). “Virtual idols could do something that people cannot do in the real world, such as time travel,” said Liu from the company. Liu took the digital tour guides as an example. They can be in different places and from different times in history. But AI humans have their disadvantages. Take Yuanxi as an example. She still doesn’t have much touch and EQ like us. These are things that only a real human can have. What’s more, virtual people can’t team up and communicate with others in real time. As Yuanxi wrote, “Virtual employees show the power of AI but they are not a replacement for traditional human employees.” Task 1: Answer the questions: 1．In what ways can AI humans be like real people? 2．What roles can digital humans play? 3．Who is Xi Jiajia according to Paragraph 4? 4．According to the passage, what could virtual idols do that people cannot do in the real world? 5．What are the things that only real humans have? Task 2: 6．Will you buy AI humans in the future? Why or why not? 【答案】1．They can do real people’s voices and moves and even copy their personalities. 2．They can be idols, vloggers, reporters, and more. 3．She is the first digital idol of a Chinese tech company. 4．Time travel. 5．Human touch and EQ. 6．Yes. Because they can do many things for us so that we can relax ourselves. 【导语】本文主要介绍了AI人像技术及它的优缺点。 【详解】 1．根据“As we all know, AI humans now can be like real people. They can do real people’s voices and moves and even copy their personalities.”可知，它们可以模仿真实人物的声音和动作，甚至还能复制他们的个性。故填They can do real people’s voices and moves and even copy their personalities. 2．根据“They can be idols, vloggers, reporters, and more.”可知，它们可以是偶像、视频博主、记者等多种角色。故填They can be idols, vloggers, reporters, and more. 3．根据“In 2022, a Chinese tech company showed its first digital idol Xi Jiajia.”可知，她是一家中国科技公司推出的首位数字偶像。故填She is the first digital idol of a Chinese tech company. 4．根据“Virtual idols could do something that people cannot do in the real world, such as time travel”可知，虚拟偶像能实现时间旅行。故填Time travel. 5．根据“She still doesn’t have much touch and EQ like us. These are things that only a real human can have.”可知，只有真人才具备人类触觉和情商。故填Human touch and EQ. 6．本题是开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案为Yes. Because they can do many things for us so that we can relax ourselves. 进阶拓展训练5篇 一、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) Water plays an important role in our daily lives. It makes up about sixty percent of your body weight. Most of us get our water at a low price from the taps. But some people prefer bottled water, even though it costs more. Bottled water first appeared in the United States in the 1760s. A company called Jackson’s Spa sold bottled water. It said that the water could be good for people’s health. Since then, bottled water has become more and more popular worldwide. In 2019, for the first time, Americans drank more bottled water than soda. Why has bottled water become so popular? Well, this may have something to do with people’s worries about the purity (纯净) of tap water. According to one survey, 63 percent of Americans worried a lot about the safety of their drinking water. However, research suggests such worries are unnecessary. For most families, bottled water isn’t better than tap water. In fact, almost half of all bottled water comes from the tap. When it comes to taste, most of us can’t tell the difference. Once a blind taste test was done and only a third of the taste-testers were able to correctly pick out which one was from tap water. Making bottled water, however, requires lots of things. Plastic bottles are usually used only once before being thrown away. Besides, more water goes into the making of a bottle of water. One study found that companies usually use 1.39 litres (升) of water to make one litre of bottled water. Do you prefer bottled water to tap water? It’s time to change your mind! Bottled water is more expensive. However, it isn’t much better than the water you get from your kitchen tap. Task 1: Answer the questions: 1．Bottled water is cheaper than tap water, isn’t it? 2．When did bottled water first appear in America? 3．Why is bottled water popular with Americans? 4．Why was a blind taste test done? 5．How does the writer show the fact that more water goes into the making of a bottle of water? 6．What is the writer’s attitude towards tap water? Task 2: 7．Write more about the advantages of tap water or the disadvantages of bottled water in about 30 words. 【答案】1．No, it isn’t. 2．In the 1760s. 3．Because people worried about the purity of tap water. 4．To see if most of us can tell the difference between bottled water and tap water in taste. 5．By citing a study. 6．Positive. 7．Tap water is much cheaper, tastes almost the same and causes no plastic pollution, while bottled water wastes resources, creates plastic rubbish and needs extra fuel in transportation. 【导语】本文主要讨论了瓶装水在美国的起源、流行原因、与自来水的比较，以及瓶装水生产对环境的影响。文章旨在提醒读者瓶装水并非比自来水更优越，且生产过程中存在资源浪费问题。 【详解】 1．根据文章中的“But some people prefer bottled water, even though it costs more.”可知，瓶装水比自来水贵，而不是便宜。故填No, it isn’t. 2．根据文章中的“Bottled water first appeared in the United States in the 1760s”可知，瓶装水首次出现在美国是在18世纪60年代。故填In the 1760s. 3．根据文章中的“this may have something to do with people’s worries about the purity (纯净) of tap water”可知，瓶装水在美国受欢迎的原因可能与人们对自来水纯净度的担忧有关。故填Because people worried about the purity of tap water. 4．根据文章中的“Once a blind taste test was done and only a third of the taste-testers were able to correctly pick out which one was from tap water.”可知，进行盲品测试是为了看我们大多数人是否能品尝出瓶装水和自来水在味道上的差异。故填To see if most of us can tell the difference between bottled water and tap water in taste. 5．根据文章中的“One study found that companies usually use 1.39 litres (升) of water to make one litre of bottled water.”可知作者通过引用一项研究来说明生产一瓶瓶装水需要消耗更多的水。故填By citing a study. 6．根据文章中的“However, it isn’t much better than the water you get from your kitchen tap.”可知，作者认为自来水并不比瓶装水差很多，因此作者对自来水的态度是积极的。故填Positive. 7．这是一个开放性问题，答案因人而异。但可以根据文章内容和常识来回答。故填Tap water is much cheaper, tastes almost the same and causes no plastic pollution, while bottled water wastes resources, creates plastic rubbish and needs extra fuel in transportation. 二、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) At Riverside Middle School, students used to think that saving water meant only turning off the tap. That changed when their science teacher, Ms Green, showed them a simple calculation. A tap that drips once every second can waste about 4.32 litres of water in one day. One dripping tap may not look serious, but a school with twenty such taps could waste more than 86 litres a day. The students suddenly understood that small problems can become large ones when nobody acts. The class then visited the Water Science Museum. They learned that about 97 percent of the Earth’s water is salty. Most of the fresh water is locked up in ice or deep underground, and much of the fresh water that people can reach is polluted. The guide also explained that water is used indirectly to make many everyday products. It takes water to produce sugar, hamburgers, cotton shirts and shoes. Therefore, wasting food or clothes also means wasting water, even when we cannot see the water in these products. After the visit, the students formed a Water Action Team. First, they checked every tap and made a list of repairs. They also put up signs reminding students to use only the water they need. In the school garden, they collected grey water from washing vegetables and used it to water flowers. At home, team members tried shorter showers, ran the dishwasher only when it was full and chose energy-saving washing machines. Two months later, the school used about fifteen percent less water than before. More importantly, students began to change their habits. They talked with their families about indirect water footprints and encouraged local shops to reduce unnecessary packaging. The team leader, Kevin, said, “We cannot make more fresh water, but we can make better use of what we have. When everyone takes one small step, the result can be surprisingly large.” Task 1: Answer the questions: 1．What did Ms Green show the students? 2．Why did the students understand that small problems can become large ones? 3．What does “these products” refer to in Paragraph 2? 4．How did the students use grey water? 5．What happened two months after the Water Action Team began its work? Task 2: 6．What water-saving action will you take in your daily life? Explain why it is useful in about 30 words. 【答案】1．A simple calculation. 2．Because one dripping tap seems not serious, but twenty such taps in the school could waste more than 86 litres of water a day. 3．Sugar, hamburgers, cotton shirts and shoes. 4．They used it to water flowers in the school garden. 5．The school used about fifteen percent less water than before and students began to change their water-saving habits. 6．I will take shorter showers and turn off the tap while soaping. This saves water directly, reduces waste, and helps my family develop a careful habit of using water wisely. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述Riverside中学的学生在老师引导下认识水资源浪费问题，参观博物馆，组建行动团队并采取节水措施，最终取得成效的故事。 【详解】 1．首段直接指出：“That changed when their science teacher, Ms Green, showed them a simple calculation.”，说明格林老师展示给学生们的是一个“简单的计算”，答案是原文直接信息。 2．首段解释了原因：“A tap that drips once every second can waste about 4.32 litres of water in one day. One dripping tap may not look serious, but a school with twenty such taps could waste more than 86 litres a day.”，单个滴水龙头看似问题不大，但多个累加会造成大量水资源浪费，学生由此意识到小问题不处理会演变成大问题，可据此作答。 3．第二段结尾明确指出：“It takes water to produce sugar, hamburgers, cotton shirts and shoes. Therefore, wasting food or clothes also means wasting water, even when we cannot see the water in these products.”，其中“these products”直接指代前句提到的“糖、汉堡包、棉质衬衫和鞋子”。 4．第三段明确说明：“In the school garden, they collected grey water from washing vegetables and used it to water flowers.”，根据原文信息作答即可。 5．第四段首句：“Two months later, the school used about fifteen percent less water than before. More importantly, students began to change their habits.”，说明两个月后学校用水减少且学生们开始改变节水习惯，根据原文信息作答即可。 6．本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一。需结合文中节水理念，提出一个日常节水行动，并解释其有效性。 三、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) Have you ever heard of a “time bank”? It’s not a place that stores money. Instead, it’s a community system where people exchange services using time as the currency (货币). Here’s how it works: When you do one hour of service for someone in the community, you earn one “time dollar”. You can then spend that time dollar to receive one hour of service from someone else. The type of service doesn’t matter. One hour of tutoring English equals one hour of dog walking equals one hour of fixing a computer. The first modern time bank was started by lawyer Edgar Cahn in the United States in 1980. He believed that money doesn’t measure the true value of all work. Caring for an elderly neighbor, teaching a child to read, or helping someone learn to use a computer—these are valuable contributions that the regular economy often ignores. Today, time banks have spread to over 30 countries. In Shanghai, a community started a time bank in 2018. Retired teachers offer free tutoring to students. In return, students’ parents help the elderly with grocery shopping or technology problems. Young professionals teach English or computer skills to seniors, and seniors share their life experience and cooking skills. Studies show that time banks do more than just exchange services. They build stronger communities. When people help each other, they feel more connected. Loneliness decreases, trust increases, and neighbors who never spoke before become friends. However, time banks also face challenges. Some people worry about quality control—what if someone does a poor job? Others are concerned that time banks might replace the real economy. Supporters argue that time banks don’t replace paid work; they add value by recognizing and encouraging community contributions. For teenagers, time banks can be especially meaningful. Students can earn time dollars by tutoring younger children, helping with community clean-ups, or teaching seniors how to use smartphones. In return, they can receive help with subjects they find difficult, or even earn music lessons from a neighbor. It teaches responsibility, builds confidence, and shows that everyone has something valuable to offer. Task 1: 1．What is a time bank? 2．How do people earn “time dollars” in a time bank? 3．According to Edgar Cahn, what problem does the regular economy have? 4．List one benefit of time banks mentioned in the passage. 5．Do you think time banks would work well in your community? Why or why not? (Give at least one reason) 6．Task 2: After reading the passage, what do you think is the most important quality for a successful time bank? Please explain your understanding. (About 30 words) 【答案】1．A time bank is a community system where people exchange services using time as the currency. 2．They earn one time dollar for each hour of service they do for someone in the community. 3．The regular economy ignores valuable contributions like caring for neighbors or teaching children. 4．It builds stronger communities/It decreases loneliness/It increases trust/It helps neighbors become friends. (Any one) 5．Yes, I think it would work well because many neighbors already help each other informally. A time bank would just make the system more organized. (Or No, I don’t think so because people in my community are very busy and may not have time to volunteer.) 6．I think trust is the most important quality. Without trust, people won’t believe that others will repay their help.

In today’s fast-changing world, it’s more important than ever. From the latest AI technologies to space exploration, human curiosity drives innovation and progress. Take Elon Musk, for example. His curiosity about sustainable energy led to the creation of Tesla and SpaceX. He once said, “I want to understand why things are the way they are.” This mindset pushed him to revolutionize electric cars and rocket science. Similarly, young students around the world are using their curiosity to solve real-world problems. A 15-year-old girl in India invented a low-cost water purifier after seeing her community struggle with clean water. Her curiosity turned into a solution that now helps thousands. But curiosity isn’t just for scientists. It’s about asking questions and seeking answers. When you wonder how a smartphone works or why leaves change color, you’re using curiosity. Schools are now encouraging students to explore through projects like coding robots or growing plants. These activities help develop critical thinking and creativity. However, curiosity needs courage. Sometimes, the answers aren’t easy. Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before inventing the light bulb. He saw failure as a step forward, not a stop. This attitude is key: never stop wondering, even when things get tough. As we face challenges like climate change, curiosity will guide us to new solutions. Whether it’s finding renewable energy or curing diseases, the next big idea might start with a simple question. So keep asking, “Why?” and let your curiosity lead the way. The future belongs to those who dare to wonder. 1．Who is Elon Musk and what did his curiosity lead to? 2．What problem did the 15-year-old girl in India solve, and how? 3．How do schools encourage students to explore according to the passage? 4．How did Thomas Edison view failure? 5．What challenges can curiosity help us face according to the passage? 6．What is the author’s advice about curiosity in the passage? 【答案】1．Elon Musk is an entrepreneur.

After some weeks, Peter noticed that Henry was speaking some French that hadn’t been taught at the club. “He must be having additional lessons elsewhere,” Peter thought in his heart. One Thursday afternoon, Peter taught the kids how to use an electric frying pan to make crepes (法式薄饼). They happily enjoyed the process and ate the crepes as quickly as they were produced. They only stopped eating when it was time to pack up for home.

Since 2013 she has played an important role for patients as a music therapist (治疗师). She might see one person who’s anxious about an upcoming operation, another who’s experiencing painful treatment and in need of comforting. In 2019, a nursing team in Toronto, Canada asked Sarah if she could reach out to a patient who had been there for about a week. The man was struggling, and unwilling to communicate with staff or be part of any activities. Sarah decided to have a try. One afternoon, Sarah approached the patient’s room and introduced herself. She asked if she could sit, and offered to play some music. The man was over 70 and told her a few composers he liked and then turned away to look out of the window. But as she started to play one of his favorites, Bach, on her portable keyboard, a change came over him. He unfolded his arms, turned towards Sarah and started to cry. She stopped playing, “Do you want me to continue?” Sarah asked. “____________,” he said through tears. “It was as if the music went places that nothing else could,” recalls Sarah. “He shared with me afterwards that he’d been holding in so much and had been unable to talk about anything. But the music showed up at a moment when it felt like a hug.” Everyone may feel that spark of joy when a favorite song comes on the radio at just the right moment. Also, one may weep for sorrow along with a singer who is expressing heartache. That’s the emotional impact of music.

Last month, my class started a group project about environmental protection. My four-person team was excited at first—but things quickly fell apart. When we divided tasks, some teammates called me “bossy” because I kept checking their work. I only wanted us to finish on time! Meanwhile, two quiet members never spoke up in meetings. They nodded and said “OK,” but I later found they hadn’t even started their parts. When I asked, they said they were too shy to share their thoughts. Last week, we had a big fight. No one listened to each other, and our project is way behind schedule. I’m really worried—how can we fix this? Li Hua Ms. Chen’s reply Dear Li Hua, I’m sorry to hear about your group trouble. Group work teaches us so much, but it can be tricky when communication breaks down. The good news is, small changes can turn things around! Here are my 3 key tips for your team: - The “Speak & Listen” Rule Before your next meeting, write down your ideas, but let everyone else speak first. This way, you won’t sound like you’re giving orders, and your quiet teammates will feel safe to share. - Use “I” Statements, Not Blame Instead of saying, “You never do your work,” try, “I feel worried when we don’t know how the project is going.” This tells others how you feel without making them defensive (抵制的). - Play to Everyone’s Strengths Your quiet teammates might be shy about speaking up, but they could be amazing at researching facts or designing posters! Assign roles based on what each person enjoys, not just what “needs to get done.” Remember: Good team communication isn’t about winning arguments. It’s about making sure everyone feels heard. Try these tips, and I’m sure your group will get back on track soon! Ms. Chen School Counselor Task 1: Answer the questions. 1．Does Li Hua’s group have four members? 2．Why did Li Hua’s teammates call her “bossy”? 3．What should Li Hua use instead of blaming others according to Ms. Chen? 4．What may the quiet teammates be good at? 5．What is the purpose of the Team Talk column in the school newspaper?

She and her friends swam in it during summers, their laughter echoing across the fields. But now, when Emma returned to the village, she was shocked. As she stood on the same riverbank, she saw a different scene: the water was dirty, littered with plastic bottles and floating rubbish, and the willows had dried. A sign read: No Swimming. Dangerous Water. Her heart sank. She recalled her grandfather’s stories about how this river had nurtured (养育) their village for generations. Today, it smelled of decay (腐烂). Later, in school, her teacher explained how industrial waste and plastic pollution had polluted the river. “Water is life,” the teacher said, “but we’ve taken it for granted.” That afternoon, Emma decided to take action. She started a “Save Our River” campaign at school, organizing clean-up drives and writing to local officials. Slowly, others joined—students, teachers, even farmers. They removed trash, planted new trees, and monitored water quality. Months later, though the river wasn’t fully healed, Emma saw hopeful signs: dragonflies returning, water clearing, and children watching from the bank with curiosity. She knew it was just a start. One year later, Emma visited the river again. Task 1: Answer the questions 1．Emma didn’t swim in the river during summers in her childhood, did she?   2．What did Emma see on the riverbank when she returned? 3．Why was the river polluted? 4．Why did Emma’s heart sink? 5．What did Emma and other people do to heal the river? Task 2 6．Describe what happened when Emma visited the river one year later. What changes did she see? What challenges remained? (请给文章加一个合理的结尾，30个单词左右。) 二、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) Your everyday decisions can really make a difference. Let’s look at a few “green questions” people often ask. ①In public toilets, is it better to use a paper towel or an electric hand dryer? Go for the hot air. The energy needed to heat and blow air onto your hands is far less than the energy needed to produce and transport paper towels and deal with the waste. One U.S. study found that about nine fully-grown trees are cut down each year just to supply one average fast-food restaurant with paper towels. The used towels then create over 450 kilograms of landfill waste. Hand dryers are also more hygienic. Doctors say the hot air kills germs (细菌) faster. ②I’m thirsty. Bottled water or tap? Each year, millions of liters of bottled water are sold. To make all that, about 100 million tons of plastic are produced around the world, and most of it ends up in landfills. When it comes to tap water, there are no transportation costs or carbon emissions. If the tap water in your home is safe to drink, buy your own water bottle. ③Solar hot water and solar panels: What’s the difference? It’s easy to confuse the two. One uses the sun’s heat to warm water. The other turns the sun’s energy into electricity. Imagine going camping with a big black barrel filled with water that sits in the sun. When you take a shower from the barrel, the water feels warm. That’s basically how a solar hot water system works. Solar electricity is more complicated (复杂的) and it’s still quite expensive. For much less money, you can use energy-efficient lights and appliances, and you can cut your carbon emissions by nearly half. Task 1: Answer the questions 1．What is the answer to the first “green question” in the article? 2．What are the two benefits of the recommended choice in public toilets? The energy for can be saved. 3．How do you understand the underlined word “hygienic”? The word “hygienic” has a similar meaning to the word “ ”. 4．Why is drinking tap water more environmentally friendly than drinking bottled water? 5．Why did the author say, “Your everyday decisions can really make a difference”? Use at least two examples from the article to support your answer. Task 2: 6．Which of the green choices in the article do you practice or plan to practice in your daily life? Why? 三、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) Saving the Well (水井) Once upon a time, in a vast desert, there was a small village that depended on a single well for water. The well was not only a source of life for the villagers but also for the travelers who passed through the desert. One year, a really bad drought hit the village. The plants died, animals moved away, and the well’s water level started to drop. The villagers grew worried, knowing that they needed the well to live. Among them was a young boy named Amir. He noticed that while everyone was worried, very few were taking action to save the precious water. Amir decided to make a difference. He started by using less water for his daily needs and collected rainwater in pots. He also suggested planting drought-resistant (抗旱) plants around the well to keep the soil wet and reduce water evaporation (蒸发). At first, only a few villagers took him seriously, but as the well’s water even got lower, more started to listen. Amir taught the villagers how to create small basins around the plants to catch more rainwater and how to cover the ground with stones and leaves to reduce evaporation. He also organized teams to clean up around the well and dig small channels to direct any rainwater into the well. As the weeks passed, the villagers noticed a change. The water in the well didn’t go down as much, and the plants around it began to grow well. The efforts to save water paid off, and the village was able to make it through the drought. Task 1: Answer the questions 1．What happened to the village one year? 2．Few villagers took action to save the precious water at the very beginning, did they? 3．What did Amir use to collect rainwater at first? 4．When did the villagers start to take Amir’s suggestions seriously? 5．How did Amir and the villagers direct rainwater into the well? Task 2: 6．What do you think of Amir? Why? (Give one example) 四、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) A new fleet of ocean-cleaning drones is being tested to remove plastic waste from the sea. These autonomous (自动的) devices use AI to detect and collect floating debris (碎片), helping to reduce the millions of tons of plastic polluting the oceans. The drones operate day and night, covering large areas more efficiently than human-led clean-up efforts. Traditional clean-up methods involve ships and nets, which are slow, expensive, and often harm marine life. The drones, however, are designed to avoid wildlife while targeting only plastic waste. Early trials show they can collect up to 100 kilograms of debris per day, making them a promising solution for large-scale ocean clean-up. One challenge is that strong ocean currents can push debris out of reach, making it harder for the drones to operate effectively. Dr. Hannah Lee, the project coordinator, says her team is improving the drones’ navigation systems to handle rough sea conditions. They are also developing ways to recycle the collected plastic into usable materials. If successful, these drones could play a key role in restoring marine ecosystems and protecting sea life. This technology offers hope for a cleaner, healthier ocean in the future. Task 1: Answer the questions 1．How do the drones identify plastic waste in the ocean? 2．Why are drones better than traditional clean-up methods? 3．How much debris can each drone collect daily? 4．What problem do strong ocean currents cause for the drones? 5．What aspect of the drones is Dr. Lee’s team improving? Task 2: 6．Explain how ocean-cleaning drones help marine life. (不超过30个词) 五、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) Imagine you can have phone calls with your favourite star. Is it exciting? AI humans might help with it. Today, AI humans are popular at home and abroad. As we all know, AI humans now can be like real people. They can do real people’s voices and moves and even copy their personalities. But what else can they do? And what can only be done by humans but not AI? Digital humans today play roles in many ways. They can be idols, vloggers, reporters, and more. For example, China Daily has its own digital reporter, Yuanxi. She can speak English and cover the wonderful world of Chinese culture. She can process (处理) data fast. This can help the newsroom work faster. In 2022, a Chinese tech company showed its first digital idol Xi Jiajia. She can change her make-up and how she dresses, and even do webcasts (网络直播)! During China Fashion Week, Xi Jiajia became famous in an online virtual fashion show (虚拟时装秀). “Virtual idols could do something that people cannot do in the real world, such as time travel,” said Liu from the company. Liu took the digital tour guides as an example. They can be in different places and from different times in history. But AI humans have their disadvantages. Take Yuanxi as an example. She still doesn’t have much touch and EQ like us. These are things that only a real human can have. What’s more, virtual people can’t team up and communicate with others in real time. As Yuanxi wrote, “Virtual employees show the power of AI but they are not a replacement for traditional human employees.” Task 1: Answer the questions: 1．In what ways can AI humans be like real people? 2．What roles can digital humans play? 3．Who is Xi Jiajia according to Paragraph 4? 4．According to the passage, what could virtual idols do that people cannot do in the real world? 5．What are the things that only real humans have? Task 2: 6．Will you buy AI humans in the future? Why or why not? 进阶拓展训练5篇 一、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) Water plays an important role in our daily lives. It makes up about sixty percent of your body weight. Most of us get our water at a low price from the taps. But some people prefer bottled water, even though it costs more. Bottled water first appeared in the United States in the 1760s. A company called Jackson’s Spa sold bottled water. It said that the water could be good for people’s health. Since then, bottled water has become more and more popular worldwide. In 2019, for the first time, Americans drank more bottled water than soda. Why has bottled water become so popular? Well, this may have something to do with people’s worries about the purity (纯净) of tap water. According to one survey, 63 percent of Americans worried a lot about the safety of their drinking water. However, research suggests such worries are unnecessary. For most families, bottled water isn’t better than tap water. In fact, almost half of all bottled water comes from the tap. When it comes to taste, most of us can’t tell the difference. Once a blind taste test was done and only a third of the taste-testers were able to correctly pick out which one was from tap water. Making bottled water, however, requires lots of things. Plastic bottles are usually used only once before being thrown away. Besides, more water goes into the making of a bottle of water. One study found that companies usually use 1.39 litres (升) of water to make one litre of bottled water. Do you prefer bottled water to tap water? It’s time to change your mind! Bottled water is more expensive. However, it isn’t much better than the water you get from your kitchen tap. Task 1: Answer the questions: 1．Bottled water is cheaper than tap water, isn’t it? 2．When did bottled water first appear in America? 3．Why is bottled water popular with Americans? 4．Why was a blind taste test done? 5．How does the writer show the fact that more water goes into the making of a bottle of water? 6．What is the writer’s attitude towards tap water? Task 2: 7．Write more about the advantages of tap water or the disadvantages of bottled water in about 30 words. 二、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) At Riverside Middle School, students used to think that saving water meant only turning off the tap. That changed when their science teacher, Ms Green, showed them a simple calculation. A tap that drips once every second can waste about 4.32 litres of water in one day. One dripping tap may not look serious, but a school with twenty such taps could waste more than 86 litres a day. The students suddenly understood that small problems can become large ones when nobody acts. The class then visited the Water Science Museum. They learned that about 97 percent of the Earth’s water is salty. Most of the fresh water is locked up in ice or deep underground, and much of the fresh water that people can reach is polluted. The guide also explained that water is used indirectly to make many everyday products. It takes water to produce sugar, hamburgers, cotton shirts and shoes. Therefore, wasting food or clothes also means wasting water, even when we cannot see the water in these products. After the visit, the students formed a Water Action Team. First, they checked every tap and made a list of repairs. They also put up signs reminding students to use only the water they need. In the school garden, they collected grey water from washing vegetables and used it to water flowers. At home, team members tried shorter showers, ran the dishwasher only when it was full and chose energy-saving washing machines. Two months later, the school used about fifteen percent less water than before. More importantly, students began to change their habits. They talked with their families about indirect water footprints and encouraged local shops to reduce unnecessary packaging. The team leader, Kevin, said, “We cannot make more fresh water, but we can make better use of what we have. When everyone takes one small step, the result can be surprisingly large.” Task 1: Answer the questions: 1．What did Ms Green show the students? 2．Why did the students understand that small problems can become large ones? 3．What does “these products” refer to in Paragraph 2? 4．How did the students use grey water? 5．What happened two months after the Water Action Team began its work? Task 2: 6．What water-saving action will you take in your daily life? Explain why it is useful in about 30 words. 三、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) Have you ever heard of a “time bank”? It’s not a place that stores money. Instead, it’s a community system where people exchange services using time as the currency (货币). Here’s how it works: When you do one hour of service for someone in the community, you earn one “time dollar”. You can then spend that time dollar to receive one hour of service from someone else. The type of service doesn’t matter. One hour of tutoring English equals one hour of dog walking equals one hour of fixing a computer. The first modern time bank was started by lawyer Edgar Cahn in the United States in 1980. He believed that money doesn’t measure the true value of all work. Caring for an elderly neighbor, teaching a child to read, or helping someone learn to use a computer—these are valuable contributions that the regular economy often ignores. Today, time banks have spread to over 30 countries. In Shanghai, a community started a time bank in 2018. Retired teachers offer free tutoring to students. In return, students’ parents help the elderly with grocery shopping or technology problems. Young professionals teach English or computer skills to seniors, and seniors share their life experience and cooking skills. Studies show that time banks do more than just exchange services. They build stronger communities. When people help each other, they feel more connected. Loneliness decreases, trust increases, and neighbors who never spoke before become friends. However, time banks also face challenges. Some people worry about quality control—what if someone does a poor job? Others are concerned that time banks might replace the real economy. Supporters argue that time banks don’t replace paid work; they add value by recognizing and encouraging community contributions. For teenagers, time banks can be especially meaningful. Students can earn time dollars by tutoring younger children, helping with community clean-ups, or teaching seniors how to use smartphones. In return, they can receive help with subjects they find difficult, or even earn music lessons from a neighbor. It teaches responsibility, builds confidence, and shows that everyone has something valuable to offer. Task 1: 1．What is a time bank? 2．How do people earn “time dollars” in a time bank? 3．According to Edgar Cahn, what problem does the regular economy have? 4．List one benefit of time banks mentioned in the passage. 5．Do you think time banks would work well in your community? Why or why not? (Give at least one reason) 6．Task 2: After reading the passage, what do you think is the most important quality for a successful time bank? Please explain your understanding.

In today’s fast-changing world, it’s more important than ever. From the latest AI technologies to space exploration, human curiosity drives innovation and progress. Take Elon Musk, for example. His curiosity about sustainable energy led to the creation of Tesla and SpaceX. He once said, “I want to understand why things are the way they are.” This mindset pushed him to revolutionize electric cars and rocket science. Similarly, young students around the world are using their curiosity to solve real-world problems. A 15-year-old girl in India invented a low-cost water purifier after seeing her community struggle with clean water. Her curiosity turned into a solution that now helps thousands. But curiosity isn’t just for scientists. It’s about asking questions and seeking answers. When you wonder how a smartphone works or why leaves change color, you’re using curiosity. Schools are now encouraging students to explore through projects like coding robots or growing plants. These activities help develop critical thinking and creativity. However, curiosity needs courage. Sometimes, the answers aren’t easy. Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before inventing the light bulb. He saw failure as a step forward, not a stop. This attitude is key: never stop wondering, even when things get tough. As we face challenges like climate change, curiosity will guide us to new solutions. Whether it’s finding renewable energy or curing diseases, the next big idea might start with a simple question. So keep asking, “Why?” and let your curiosity lead the way. The future belongs to those who dare to wonder. 1．Who is Elon Musk and what did his curiosity lead to? 2．What problem did the 15-year-old girl in India solve, and how? 3．How do schools encourage students to explore according to the passage? 4．How did Thomas Edison view failure? 5．What challenges can curiosity help us face according to the passage? 6．What is the author’s advice about curiosity in the passage? 五、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) Useful apps to make life better The online media group TechRadar recently made a list of “the most useful and interesting apps”.

On March 22, 2025, from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM, millions turned off their lights to show they cared about the Earth. This year’s Earth Hour, with the theme (主题) “Create the Biggest Hour for Earth”, was even more important because it shared the same day as World Water Day. However, it’s not enough to have such an hour every year. What matters is how we can be kinder to the earth every day.Planet-friendly food Planet-friendly food You might not realize it, but the meat industry has a huge influence on forests around the world. Large numbers of trees are cut down to make space for soy (大豆) and other plants that are used to feed animals. Have a chat with your parents about going meat-free, even for a few days every week. Also, foods like vegetables, fruit and nuts are helping the planet. Go green and save money, too Electricity (电) produced by burning fuels like oil, coal and gas causes global warming and pollution. Ask your parents how they heat your home and suggest using green energy like wind or solar power (太阳能). Another tip is to remember to turn off the electricity whenever you leave a room. Cutting down on screen time is actually good for both your health and the earth. Waste Less, Help more Waste is a big problem! We’ve talked about saving electricity. What about food waste? Every year, 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted around the world. That’s one-third of the total amount, which can feed up to 1.26 billion people. Try to talk to your parents about buying a proper amount of food. More importantly, find some ways online for leftover food at home. Task 1: Answer the questions: 1．When did Earth Hour take place in 2025? 2．Why was Earth Hour 2025 especially important? 3．How does the meat industry negatively affect forests? 4．Why is electricity produced by burning fuels harmful to the environment? 5．One-third of the world’s food is wasted, isn’t it? Task 2: 6．As teenagers, what can we do to contribute to Earth Hour and environmental protection beyond just turning off lights for one hour? 二、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) “BONJOUR (你好)!” Peter said as his little students went into the classroom. “Bonjour, Peter!” they replied. The eight children dropped their bags on the tables and sat down on the mat at the front, chatting. Peter held up a hand and the talking stopped. “We will start with a song,” he suggested. In a couple of years, he knew the boys didn’t want to sing like this. But for now, they were happy to join in with the children in the YouTube video he would play. Peter has been leading the French after-school club for three years after retiring from his job at a high school, which might be a way to keep him active and stop him from being lonely. He now looks forward to his French Club afternoons. He invented counting games and color games, and used classroom resources like blocks and puzzles to build the youngsters’ vocabulary. Peter liked all of the young kids, but there was one little boy Henry who stood out. He had a soft voice and he understood what the teacher offered easily. He was polite and gentle. His accent was better than anyone else’s. Peter was careful not to single him out as someone special, but he loved to listen to him. After some weeks, Peter noticed that Henry was speaking some French that hadn’t been taught at the club. “He must be having additional lessons elsewhere,” Peter thought in his heart. One Thursday afternoon, Peter taught the kids how to use an electric frying pan to make crepes (法式薄饼). They happily enjoyed the process and ate the crepes as quickly as they were produced. They only stopped eating when it was time to pack up for home. There, an elderly woman with an elegant hairstyle stood at the gate of the classroom. “Camille,” Henry called cheerfully, dashing across the room to hug his grandmother. “Bonjour,” Peter said to the lady gently, “________.” “Thank you so much. He loves your club and is looking forward to coming every week” said Camille.Task 1: Answer the following questions. 1．The eight children would start with a song, wouldn’t they? 2．Why did Peter lead the French after-school club after retiring? 3．What did Peter do to build the youngsters’ vocabulary? 4．How was Henry’s accent in the French Club? 5．What kind of teacher do you think Peter was? Give your reason(s). Task 2: 6．Complete what Peter said to Camille in about 30 words. 三、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) Sarah isn’t a doctor or a nurse. Since 2013 she has played an important role for patients as a music therapist (治疗师). She might see one person who’s anxious about an upcoming operation, another who’s experiencing painful treatment and in need of comforting. In 2019, a nursing team in Toronto, Canada asked Sarah if she could reach out to a patient who had been there for about a week. The man was struggling, and unwilling to communicate with staff or be part of any activities. Sarah decided to have a try. One afternoon, Sarah approached the patient’s room and introduced herself. She asked if she could sit, and offered to play some music. The man was over 70 and told her a few composers he liked and then turned away to look out of the window. But as she started to play one of his favorites, Bach, on her portable keyboard, a change came over him. He unfolded his arms, turned towards Sarah and started to cry. She stopped playing, “Do you want me to continue?” Sarah asked. “____________,” he said through tears. “It was as if the music went places that nothing else could,” recalls Sarah. “He shared with me afterwards that he’d been holding in so much and had been unable to talk about anything. But the music showed up at a moment when it felt like a hug.” Everyone may feel that spark of joy when a favorite song comes on the radio at just the right moment. Also, one may weep for sorrow along with a singer who is expressing heartache. That’s the emotional impact of music. But now, more and more scientific evidence is actually indicating that music can be medicine, too. Task 1: Answer the questions. 1．What’s the job of Sarah? 2．How was the patient when the nursing team asked Sarah for help in 2019? 3．Sarah played Bach with a violin, didn’t she? 4．What will the man probably say? Fill in the blank. 5．Based on what you’ve read in the article, why does the last sentence say music can be medicine, too? Task 2: 6．Has a song or a piece of music ever had a good effect on you? Describe it in about 30 words. 四、Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) Sunny Middle School’s Newspaper Team Talk: Group Work Advice Corner Li Hua’s Group Trouble To Ms. Chen, My name is Li Hua, a 7th-grade student. Last month, my class started a group project about environmental protection. My four-person team was excited at first—but things quickly fell apart. When we divided tasks, some teammates called me “bossy” because I kept checking their work. I only wanted us to finish on time! Meanwhile, two quiet members never spoke up in meetings. They nodded and said “OK,” but I later found they hadn’t even started their parts. When I asked, they said they were too shy to share their thoughts. Last week, we had a big fight. No one listened to each other, and our project is way behind schedule. I’m really worried—how can we fix this? Li Hua Ms. Chen’s reply Dear Li Hua, I’m sorry to hear about your group trouble. Group work teaches us so much, but it can be tricky when communication breaks down. The good news is, small changes can turn things around! Here are my 3 key tips for your team: - The “Speak & Listen” Rule Before your next meeting, write down your ideas, but let everyone else speak first. This way, you won’t sound like you’re giving orders, and your quiet teammates will feel safe to share. - Use “I” Statements, Not Blame Instead of saying, “You never do your work,” try, “I feel worried when we don’t know how the project is going.” This tells others how you feel without making them defensive (抵制的). - Play to Everyone’s Strengths Your quiet teammates might be shy about speaking up, but they could be amazing at researching facts or designing posters! Assign roles based on what each person enjoys, not just what “needs to get done.” Remember: Good team communication isn’t about winning arguments. It’s about making sure everyone feels heard. Try these tips, and I’m sure your group will get back on track soon! Ms. Chen School Counselor Task 1: Answer the questions. 1．Does Li Hua’s group have four members? 2．Why did Li Hua’s teammates call her “bossy”? 3．What should Li Hua use instead of blaming others according to Ms. Chen? 4．What may the quiet teammates be good at? 5．What is the purpose of the Team Talk column in the school newspaper? Task 2: 主观表达 6．Explain the sentences “Good team communication isn’t about winning arguments. It’s about making sure everyone feels heard.” by using your own example.
