Unit 4 My Favorite Fubject话题定位
本单元围绕“学科学习与个人成长”这一主题展开,该主题与课标“人与自我”主题范畴中的子话题“多彩、安全、有意义的学校生活”“积极的学习体验、恰当的学习方法与策略”“自我认识、自我管理、自我提升”密切相关。通过前一单元的学习,学生已初步掌握描述校园设施与日常活动的语言能力,能够运用there be句型和方位介词描述学校环境。本单元将视角从“校园环境”转向“课程学习”,引导学生认识不同学科的特点与价值,表达对各学科的喜好及原因,并在交流中理解不同学科的育人作用。因此,本单元主要帮助学生学会用英语描述所学科目、表达对学科的喜好及理由,掌握表达喜好和阐述原因的句型(如“My favourite subject is...”“I like...because...”),并在探讨学科意义的过程中培养积极的学习态度和学科兴趣。本单元的大问题“Why do we learn different subjects?”启发学生从“学科认知”“个人喜好”“学科价值”三个维度思考学习的意义。Section A和Section B分别以“Why do you like this subject?”和“What can you learn from different subjects?”两个引导性问题架构板块内容,并层层深入,指向单元大问题的回答。Section A通过对话呈现学生之间和师生之间有关所学科目的日常交流,让学生通过听和模仿对话学会谈论每日学习的科目和自己喜爱的学科,并简单地阐述原因。Section B主要围绕引导性问题展开,呈现来自中国和加拿大的两名初中学生在网络平台上的发帖,他们交流各自学校本学期所学学科以及自己最喜爱的学科和原因,学生通过阅读并分析这两个帖子,提升对不同学科的认识。写作环节要求学生介绍自己喜欢的科目、老师及原因。本部分侧重探讨学科学习对个人认知发展和学习热情培养的价值。

Heidi was a little girl from the mountains. She went to school in Frankfurt. At first, she didn‘t like school at all. She thought the lessons were boring. She wanted to go back to the mountains and run on the grass.
But Heidi’s teacher, Miss Rottenmeier, was very kind. She said to Heidi, “Learning is like climbing a mountain. It is hard at first, but when you get to the top, you can see a beautiful world.”
Heidi didn‘t understand at first. But one day, Miss Rottenmeier gave her a storybook. Heidi opened it and tried to read. She could not read many words. But she wanted to know the story. So she worked hard every day. She learned new words and read the story again and again.
After two months, Heidi could read the whole book! She was so happy. She said to her teacher, “Reading is like opening a door. Behind the door, there is a new world.”
Now Heidi loves school. Her favourite subject is reading. She also likes math because it is like a game. She says, “Every subject is a window. When you open it, you can see something new.”

【长难句分析】
第1句: Learning is like climbing a mountain.
· 翻译: 学习就像爬山。
· 重点: 这是一个主系表结构的简单句。主语是 Learning(动名词作主语),系动词是 is,表语是 like climbing a mountain。be like 意为“像……一样”,是明喻结构,用来把学习比作爬山。climbing a mountain 是动名词短语,作介词 like 的宾语。这句话用比喻告诉学生:学习虽然一开始很难,但坚持就能看到美好的风景。
第2句: Every subject is a window. When you open it, you can see something new.
· 翻译: 每个科目都是一扇窗户。当你打开它,你就能看到新东西。
· 重点: 第一句是主系表结构的简单句,把每个科目比作一扇窗户。第二句是主从复合句,When you open it 是时间状语从句,you can see something new 是主句。something new 中,形容词 new 修饰不定代词 something,注意形容词要放在不定代词的后面。这两句话是全文的主旨句,用“窗户”的比喻说明每个学科都能带给我们新的知识和视角。
【中文翻译】
海蒂是一个来自山区的女孩。她在法兰克福上学。起初,她一点也不喜欢学校。她觉得功课很无聊。她想回到山上,在草地上奔跑。
但海蒂的老师罗滕迈尔小姐非常善良。她对海蒂说:“学习就像爬山。一开始很难,但当你到达山顶时,你能看到一个美丽的世界。”
海蒂起初不明白。但有一天,罗滕迈尔小姐给了她一本故事书。海蒂打开书,试着读。她认不了很多单词。但她想知道故事内容。所以她每天努力学习。她学新单词,一遍又一遍地读那个故事。
两个月后,海蒂能读完整本书了!她非常高兴。她对老师说:“阅读就像打开一扇门。在门后面,有一个全新的世界。”
现在海蒂喜欢上学了。她最喜欢的科目是阅读。她也喜欢数学,因为数学就像一个游戏。她说:“每个科目都是一扇窗户。当你打开它,你就能看到新东西。”
Passage B
Why Do We Learn Different Subjects?
导读:语文、数学、英语、科学、历史、地理、音乐、体育……我们每天要学那么多科目,你有没有想过:为什么要学这么多不同的科目呢?只学自己喜欢的科目不行吗?这篇文章告诉我们:不同的科目就像不同的工具,它们从不同方面帮助我们成长。语文教会我们表达,数学教会我们思考,科学教会我们探索,体育教会我们合作。读完这篇文章,你也许会对“为什么学这么多科目”有新的理解。
体裁:时文阅读(说明文) 难度:★★★ 词数:约190词
Do you have a favourite subject? Many students do. Some like English because it is interesting. Some like math because it is useful. Some like PE because they can play sports. But why do we learn so many different subjects?
Every subject is like a tool. It helps us in a different way. Chinese helps us read and write. We can tell stories and share ideas. Math helps us think clearly. We can solve problems in daily life. English helps us talk to people from other countries. Science helps us understand the world. We can learn why the sky is blue and how plants grow.
Some students think, “I only want to learn my favourite subject. Why do I need the others?” But a good student learns all subjects. Each subject gives us something we need. A person who only knows math cannot write a good story. A person who only knows Chinese cannot understand science.
So next time you sit in a class you don‘t like, think about this: every subject is a window. When you open it, you can see a new world. Learning different subjects makes us a better person.
【重难生词】
1. tool n. 工具
例句:A hammer is a useful tool.(锤子是一种有用的工具。)
2. solve v. 解决
例句:Can you solve this math problem?(你能解决这道数学题吗?)
3. daily adj. 日常的;每日的
例句:Reading is part of my daily life.(阅读是我日常生活的一部分。)
4. clear adj. 清晰的;清楚的
例句:Please speak in a clear voice.(请用清晰的声音说话。)
5. grow v. 生长;成长
例句:These flowers grow very fast in spring.(这些花在春天长得很快。)
6. understand v. 理解;明白
例句:I don‘t understand this question.(我不明白这个问题。)
7. person n. 人
例句:She is a very kind person.(她是一个非常善良的人。)
8. next time 短语 下次
例句:Next time you come, I will show you my new bike.(下次你来的时候,我给你看我的新自行车。)
【小练习】(从上方生词中选择合适的词填空):
1. Every subject is like a __________ . It helps us in a different way.
2. Math helps us __________ problems in daily life.
3. Science helps us __________ the world.
4. Reading is part of my __________ life.
5. Learning different subjects makes us a better __________ .
【长难句分析】
第1句: A person who only knows math cannot write a good story. A person who only knows Chinese cannot understand science.
· 翻译: 一个只懂数学的人不能写好故事。一个只懂语文的人不能理解科学。
· 重点: 这两句都是主从复合句,结构完全相同。who only knows math 和 who only knows Chinese 都是定语从句,分别修饰 A person。主句谓语分别是 cannot write 和 cannot understand。这两句话用对比和排比的手法,说明只学一门科目是不够的,从反面论证了学习多门科目的必要性。
第2句: So next time you sit in a class you don’t like, think about this: every subject is a window.
· 翻译: 所以下次你坐在一节你不喜欢的课上时,想一想:每个科目都是一扇窗户。
· 重点: 这是一个祈使句,主句为 think about this。next time you sit in a class you don‘t like 是时间状语从句,其中 you don’t like 是省略了 that 的定语从句,修饰 a class。冒号后面的 every subject is a window 是对 this 的解释说明。整句话用“窗户”的比喻,鼓励学生用积极的眼光看待每一门科目,呼应了单元大问题“Why do we learn different subjects?”——不同科目能为我们打开不同的世界。
【中文翻译】
你有最喜欢的科目吗?很多学生都有。有些人喜欢英语,因为它有趣。有些人喜欢数学,因为它有用。有些人喜欢体育,因为他们可以做运动。但我们为什么要学这么多不同的科目呢?
每个科目就像一个工具。它从不同的方面帮助我们。语文帮助我们阅读和写作。我们可以讲故事、分享想法。数学帮助我们清晰地思考。我们可以解决日常生活中的问题。英语帮助我们和来自其他国家的人交流。科学帮助我们理解世界。我们可以了解天空为什么是蓝色的,以及植物如何生长。
有些学生想:“我只想学我最喜欢的科目。我为什么需要学其他的?”但一个好学生学习所有的科目。每个科目都给我们需要的东西。一个只懂数学的人不能写好故事。一个只懂语文的人不能理解科学。
所以下次你坐在一节你不喜欢的课上时,想一想:每个科目都是一扇窗户。当你打开它,你就能看到一个全新的世界。学习不同的科目让我们成为更好的人。
一、阅读理解
Passage A
Ask any student which subject he or she doesn’t like most. 9 out of 10 students will answer “maths”. No matter (无论) which country you visit, and which grade you are in, you may not learn art, geography, PE or music, but you always learn maths. Why so many students don’t like it but they still have to learn it?
Jenny Sanders, a high school student in California, asks, “What good do we get from learning maths? We can use computers to count numbers, and store (储存) information. We don’t need to do difficult maths problems in our life.”
However, maths is not only about counting numbers. It is about learning to think logically (逻辑地) and solving (解决) problems. Of course, Jenny was right. We can use computers to count numbers. But if we can’t think logically, we don’t know how to use the computer in other ways. Computers are only tools (工具) when solving problems.
For example, if you are a cook and must serve (服务) dinner to 100 people, how should you divide (分配) your resources, so you can do your job most efficiently (高效地)? First, ask other cooks to help you. Second, choose the people you have to serve first, like little children, moms with babies or the old people. At last, cook the same dish together to save (节约) time.

Going to concerts is also good for the heart. Listening to music can make your heart strong.
Some children like playing with building blocks and they are good at thinking. They even talk and read better. Some children like playing with building blocks and they can learn to use their hands to do small things well.
Driving bumper cars can be healthy. Some children sometimes bump against other children when they are unhappy. It can be a lot of fun to stop others from bumping into your car. Bumping against others in a fun way makes unhappy children laugh.

Passage B
Dear Jenny,
How are you these days? You shared your favourite subjects with me in your last letter. I like English too. I think it is interesting and useful. You also like maths, but I am not good at it. I think it is too difficult. Maybe you can help me with it next time.
Our classes are over at 4:30 p.m. and I can get home at 5:00 p.m. But I seldom go home right after class because I take part in different activities. On Monday afternoon, I have a violin lesson for an hour. On Tuesday and Friday afternoon, I go to the reading club with my friends. We talk about the books and the writers, and we enjoy it so much. On Thursday, I go to the chess club. I often play chess for about an hour. What’s more, we have a school field trip every term. We often visit a farm. We can learn how to grow different kinds of crops (作物) and pick fruit. It is great fun.
On Saturday, I don’t have classes. I often practise singing in an art school. I like singing and I can sing better now. I usually go to the park with my friends or have a rest on Sunday. I am busy every day, but I enjoy my life very much.
Yours,
Alice

My name is Judy, and I’m a middle school student in Grade 7. Of all the subjects at school, I like art best.
We have a great art teacher, Mrs Smith. She is a wonderful artist (艺术家). I love to watch her draw and paint. She usually teaches us how to choose (选择) colours for our paintings. And she always tells us to be more creative (有创造力的) while we’re drawing or painting. What’s more, she always plays music when we draw and paint. This makes our art class more interesting.
We often look at pictures of great artists in art class. That helps us paint or draw. We often feel very happy about painting good pictures.
We will have an art show in November this year. Our pictures will be on show in our city library. A lot of people will come to our art show. Our parents will go with us. I am working on three paintings now. And I hope I can show one of them in the show.
From Mrs Smith, I know that art can help us relax after much schoolwork. Art is also a good way to tell our feelings without words. I’m happy to have art class and have such a good teacher.

The School Garden — Adapted from Heidi by Johanna Spyri
导读: 约翰娜·斯比丽(Johanna Spyri,1827—1901)是瑞士著名儿童文学作家,她的经典作品《海蒂》讲述了小女孩海蒂在阿尔卑斯山与爷爷一起生活的故事,被译成几十种语言,深受全世界读者的喜爱。海蒂来到法兰克福后,被送去上学。一开始她很不习惯,但渐渐地,她发现学习可以让她读懂故事,还能给她带来快乐。这段改编文字语言简单,内容贴近七年级学生的校园生活,与单元大问题“Why do we learn different subjects?”高度契合。
体裁:经典小说改编 难度:★★★ 词数:约180词
Heidi was a little girl from the mountains. She went to school in Frankfurt. At first, she didn‘t like school at all. She thought the lessons were boring. She wanted to go back to the mountains and run on the grass.
But Heidi’s teacher, Miss Rottenmeier, was very kind. She said to Heidi, “Learning is like climbing a mountain. It is hard at first, but when you get to the top, you can see a beautiful world.”
Heidi didn‘t understand at first. But one day, Miss Rottenmeier gave her a storybook. Heidi opened it and tried to read. She could not read many words. But she wanted to know the story. So she worked hard every day. She learned new words and read the story again and again.
After two months, Heidi could read the whole book! She was so happy. She said to her teacher, “Reading is like opening a door. Behind the door, there is a new world.”
Now Heidi loves school. Her favourite subject is reading. She also likes math because it is like a game. She says, “Every subject is a window. When you open it, you can see something new.”

参考答案:1. boring 2. climbing 3. whole 4. subject 5. window
【长难句分析】
第1句: Learning is like climbing a mountain.
· 翻译: 学习就像爬山。
· 重点: 这是一个主系表结构的简单句。主语是 Learning(动名词作主语),系动词是 is,表语是 like climbing a mountain。be like 意为“像……一样”,是明喻结构,用来把学习比作爬山。climbing a mountain 是动名词短语,作介词 like 的宾语。这句话用比喻告诉学生:学习虽然一开始很难,但坚持就能看到美好的风景。
第2句: Every subject is a window. When you open it, you can see something new.
· 翻译: 每个科目都是一扇窗户。当你打开它,你就能看到新东西。
· 重点: 第一句是主系表结构的简单句,把每个科目比作一扇窗户。第二句是主从复合句,When you open it 是时间状语从句,you can see something new 是主句。something new 中,形容词 new 修饰不定代词 something,注意形容词要放在不定代词的后面。这两句话是全文的主旨句,用“窗户”的比喻说明每个学科都能带给我们新的知识和视角。
【中文翻译】
海蒂是一个来自山区的女孩。她在法兰克福上学。起初,她一点也不喜欢学校。她觉得功课很无聊。她想回到山上,在草地上奔跑。
但海蒂的老师罗滕迈尔小姐非常善良。她对海蒂说:“学习就像爬山。一开始很难,但当你到达山顶时,你能看到一个美丽的世界。”
海蒂起初不明白。但有一天,罗滕迈尔小姐给了她一本故事书。海蒂打开书,试着读。她认不了很多单词。但她想知道故事内容。所以她每天努力学习。她学新单词,一遍又一遍地读那个故事。
两个月后,海蒂能读完整本书了!她非常高兴。她对老师说:“阅读就像打开一扇门。在门后面,有一个全新的世界。”
现在海蒂喜欢上学了。她最喜欢的科目是阅读。她也喜欢数学,因为数学就像一个游戏。她说:“每个科目都是一扇窗户。当你打开它,你就能看到新东西。”
Passage B
Why Do We Learn Different Subjects?
导读:语文、数学、英语、科学、历史、地理、音乐、体育……我们每天要学那么多科目,你有没有想过:为什么要学这么多不同的科目呢?只学自己喜欢的科目不行吗?这篇文章告诉我们:不同的科目就像不同的工具,它们从不同方面帮助我们成长。语文教会我们表达,数学教会我们思考,科学教会我们探索,体育教会我们合作。读完这篇文章,你也许会对“为什么学这么多科目”有新的理解。
体裁:时文阅读(说明文) 难度:★★★ 词数:约190词
Do you have a favourite subject? Many students do. Some like English because it is interesting. Some like math because it is useful. Some like PE because they can play sports. But why do we learn so many different subjects?
Every subject is like a tool. It helps us in a different way. Chinese helps us read and write. We can tell stories and share ideas. Math helps us think clearly. We can solve problems in daily life. English helps us talk to people from other countries. Science helps us understand the world. We can learn why the sky is blue and how plants grow.
Some students think, “I only want to learn my favourite subject. Why do I need the others?” But a good student learns all subjects. Each subject gives us something we need. A person who only knows math cannot write a good story. A person who only knows Chinese cannot understand science.
So next time you sit in a class you don‘t like, think about this: every subject is a window. When you open it, you can see a new world. Learning different subjects makes us a better person.
【重难生词】
1. tool n. 工具
例句:A hammer is a useful tool.(锤子是一种有用的工具。)
2. solve v. 解决
例句:Can you solve this math problem?(你能解决这道数学题吗?)
3. daily adj. 日常的;每日的
例句:Reading is part of my daily life.(阅读是我日常生活的一部分。)
4. clear adj. 清晰的;清楚的
例句:Please speak in a clear voice.(请用清晰的声音说话。)
5. grow v. 生长;成长
例句:These flowers grow very fast in spring.(这些花在春天长得很快。)
6. understand v. 理解;明白
例句:I don‘t understand this question.(我不明白这个问题。)
7. person n. 人
例句:She is a very kind person.(她是一个非常善良的人。)
8. next time 短语 下次
例句:Next time you come, I will show you my new bike.(下次你来的时候,我给你看我的新自行车。)
【小练习】(从上方生词中选择合适的词填空):
1. Every subject is like a __________ . It helps us in a different way.
2. Math helps us __________ problems in daily life.
3. Science helps us __________ the world.
4. Reading is part of my __________ life.
5. Learning different subjects makes us a better __________ .
参考答案:1. tool 2. solve 3. understand 4. daily 5. person
【长难句分析】
第1句: A person who only knows math cannot write a good story. A person who only knows Chinese cannot understand science.
· 翻译: 一个只懂数学的人不能写好故事。一个只懂语文的人不能理解科学。
· 重点: 这两句都是主从复合句,结构完全相同。who only knows math 和 who only knows Chinese 都是定语从句,分别修饰 A person。主句谓语分别是 cannot write 和 cannot understand。这两句话用对比和排比的手法,说明只学一门科目是不够的,从反面论证了学习多门科目的必要性。
第2句: So next time you sit in a class you don’t like, think about this: every subject is a window.
· 翻译: 所以下次你坐在一节你不喜欢的课上时,想一想:每个科目都是一扇窗户。
· 重点: 这是一个祈使句,主句为 think about this。next time you sit in a class you don‘t like 是时间状语从句,其中 you don’t like 是省略了 that 的定语从句,修饰 a class。冒号后面的 every subject is a window 是对 this 的解释说明。整句话用“窗户”的比喻,鼓励学生用积极的眼光看待每一门科目,呼应了单元大问题“Why do we learn different subjects?”——不同科目能为我们打开不同的世界。
【中文翻译】
你有最喜欢的科目吗?很多学生都有。有些人喜欢英语,因为它有趣。有些人喜欢数学,因为它有用。有些人喜欢体育,因为他们可以做运动。但我们为什么要学这么多不同的科目呢?
每个科目就像一个工具。它从不同的方面帮助我们。语文帮助我们阅读和写作。我们可以讲故事、分享想法。数学帮助我们清晰地思考。我们可以解决日常生活中的问题。英语帮助我们和来自其他国家的人交流。科学帮助我们理解世界。我们可以了解天空为什么是蓝色的,以及植物如何生长。
有些学生想:“我只想学我最喜欢的科目。我为什么需要学其他的?”但一个好学生学习所有的科目。每个科目都给我们需要的东西。一个只懂数学的人不能写好故事。一个只懂语文的人不能理解科学。
所以下次你坐在一节你不喜欢的课上时,想一想:每个科目都是一扇窗户。当你打开它,你就能看到一个全新的世界。学习不同的科目让我们成为更好的人。
一、阅读理解
Passage A
Ask any student which subject he or she doesn’t like most. 9 out of 10 students will answer “maths”. No matter (无论) which country you visit, and which grade you are in, you may not learn art, geography, PE or music, but you always learn maths. Why so many students don’t like it but they still have to learn it?
Jenny Sanders, a high school student in California, asks, “What good do we get from learning maths? We can use computers to count numbers, and store (储存) information. We don’t need to do difficult maths problems in our life.”
However, maths is not only about counting numbers. It is about learning to think logically (逻辑地) and solving (解决) problems. Of course, Jenny was right. We can use computers to count numbers. But if we can’t think logically, we don’t know how to use the computer in other ways. Computers are only tools (工具) when solving problems.
For example, if you are a cook and must serve (服务) dinner to 100 people, how should you divide (分配) your resources, so you can do your job most efficiently (高效地)? First, ask other cooks to help you. Second, choose the people you have to serve first, like little children, moms with babies or the old people. At last, cook the same dish together to save (节约) time. The ability to think logically will help you solve the problem.
1.According to the passage, which subject do students always learn in different grades at school?
A.Chinese. B.Maths. C.Geography. D.Art.
2.What does Jenny Sanders think of learning maths?
A.Interesting. B.Boring. C.Useless. D.Difficult.
3.What does the underlined word “resources” mean in the passage?
A.科目 B.效率 C.信息 D.资源
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.90% of the students dislike learning maths.
B.Students can learn math well with computers.
C.Maths can count numbers and store information.
D.Maths helps students learn all the other subjects well.
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.D 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,围绕数学学习的价值展开,先指出多数学生不喜欢数学但仍必须学习的现象,再反驳“计算机可替代数学”的观点,说明数学不只是计数,更能培养逻辑思维与解决实际问题的能力,强调数学学习的必要性。
【详解】
1.文章第一段第三句“No matter which country you visit, and which grade you are in...but you always learn maths.”表明,无论哪个国家或年级,学生总是学习数学。
2.文章第二段Jenny说的话“What good do we get from learning maths?...We don’t need to do difficult maths problems in our life.”表明,她质疑学习数学的好处,认为生活中不需要做难的数学题,暗示她觉得学数学没用。
3.根据文章第四段,划线词“resources”出现在厨师给100人准备晚餐的例子中,上下文提到要分配人力、食材等,让工作更高效,这里的“resources”指完成任务所需的资源(比如食材、人力等)。
4.文章第一段第二句“9 out of 10 students will answer ‘maths’”表明,十分之九的学生最不喜欢数学,即90%的学生不喜欢学数学,A项正确。
Passage B
What is your hobby? Hobbies are fun, and they are also good for you.

Hobbies can bring a lot to us and make our life colourful. Let’s enjoy our hobbies.
Doing puzzles
Watching TV shows
Going to concerts
Building blocks
Driving bumper cars
1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

4.What’s the structure (结构) of this passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.C 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了不同爱好对人的益处,如做拼图、看有趣的电视节目、听音乐会、玩积木和开碰碰车等爱好分别能锻炼大脑、保护心脏、锻炼手部能力、改善情绪等,最后呼吁大家享受爱好。
【详解】
1.根据第③段第2句“When you laugh for 15 minutes or more, you can make your heart exercise and keep it healthy.”可知,句中“keep it healthy”的“it”指代前文提到的“your heart”。
2.根据第⑤段第3句“Some children like playing with building blocks and they can learn to use their hands to do small things well.”可知,玩积木可以锻炼手部能力,因此如果Tom想做对他的手有益的事,可以玩积木。
3.根据第④段第2句“Listening to music can make your heart strong.”可知,听音乐可以让心脏强壮,即保持心脏健康,C选项“Listening to music keeps the heart healthy”表述正确;根据第①段第2句“Hobbies are fun, and they are also good for you.”可知,爱好是有趣的,因此A选项“Most people think hobbies are not fun.”表述错误; 根据第②段内容,做拼图的益处是帮助长寿、保持记忆力、锻炼大脑,未提及B选项“make people laugh more”,表述错误; 根据第⑥段第4句“Bumping against others in a fun way makes unhappy children laugh.”可知,开碰碰车能让不开心的孩子笑起来,不会让孩子不开心,D选项“Driving bumper cars makes children unhappy.”表述错误。
4.文章第①段总述爱好有趣且对人有益;第②-⑥段分别介绍了不同爱好的益处;第⑦段总结爱好能给我们带来很多,让生活多姿多彩。因此文章结构为“总—分—总”。
Passage C
At school, students learn different subjects in the classroom, like English, math, art and so on. These days, a new subject is becoming popular (流行的) in many schools. That is school gardening.

Passage D
Schools in different countries have many differences, but they also have some things in common. Let’s take a look at schools in three countries: China, the UK and Australia.
In China, students usually go to school from Monday to Friday. They have many subjects, including Chinese, maths, English, science, physics, chemistry and biology. The school day usually starts at 8:00 am and ends at 5:00 pm. After school, many students go to after-school classes to learn more or to practice their skills, like playing the piano or painting. They also have a lot of homework to do every day.
In the UK, the school year is divided into three terms. The first term starts in September, the second in January and the third in April. Students have different subjects such as English, maths, science, history, geography, art and PE. The school day usually starts at 9:00 am and ends at 3:30 pm. They have shorter school days than Chinese students. After school, they often take part in different activities, like playing sports, joining clubs or doing volunteer work. They don’t have as much homework as Chinese students.
In Australia, students go to school from Monday to Friday, too. The school year starts in late January and ends in December. It has four terms. Students learn subjects like English, maths, science, music, art and PE. The school day usually starts at 9:00 am and ends at 3:00 pm. Australian students love sports. They often play cricket, rugby or go swimming after school. They also have homework, but it’s not too much.
Although schools in different countries are different, students in all countries work hard to learn and grow. They make friends, take part in activities and prepare for their future.

二、阅读填空
Passage A
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
“Watch your steps (步伐), and be careful!” a teacher says to his students in a PE class. They are at the Midong Primary School in Liping, Guizhou. Practising Dong wrestling (练习侗族摔跤) is the students’ favourite exercise in their PE class.
Dong wrestling has a long history. 1 The two wrestlers can’t directly touch (直接触摸) each other by hands. They each have a cloth tape (布带子) under their arm. They pull (拉) the other’s tape to get him or her down. 2 They have wrestling games every year.
How did the wrestling and PE classes come together? A PE teacher called Gong Xin got the idea. 3 In 2016, he started to work as a PE teacher in Liping. He thought of bringing this fun hobby and his class activity together. Then he gave it a try.
The wrestling is interesting. 4 All the students of the school love it. They often ask their teacher, “Mr Gong, when do we have the wrestling class?” 5
Other schools learn about this and start wrestling classes, too. How interesting!
根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A.And it is good exercise.
B.It is very different from other wrestling.
C.Some of them are excellent wrestlers now.
D.This wrestling is a love of people in Liping.
E.Gong loves Dong wrestling and practises it often.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.E 4.A 5.C
【导语】本文主要讲述了贵州黎平米东小学将侗族摔跤引入体育课堂的故事,介绍了侗族摔跤的特点、起源以及学生们的喜爱程度。
【详解】
1.空后“The two wrestlers can’t directly touch (直接触摸) each other by hands.”提到两名摔跤手不能直接用手触摸对方。可推知,此处是在具体描述侗族摔跤与其他摔跤不同的规则,选项B“It is very different from other wrestling.”符合语境,起到引出下文具体规则的作用。
2.空后说他们每年都有摔跤比赛,可推知,每年举办比赛说明这项运动在当地很受欢迎,选项D“This wrestling is a love of people in Liping.”能解释为何会有年度比赛,符合语境。
3.空前说一位叫龚鑫的体育老师想到了这个主意。可推知,空格处应解释龚老师为何会有这个主意,选项E“Gong loves Dong wrestling and practises it often.”说明了他对摔跤的热爱,是产生想法的基础。
4.空前“The wrestling is interesting.”说摔跤很有趣。可推知,空格处应列举摔跤的优点,选项A“And it is good exercise.”与“有趣”并列,共同解释了学生喜欢的原因。
5.空前“All the students of the school love it. They often ask their teacher, ‘Mr Gong, when do we have the wrestling class?’”提到大家都喜欢,他们经常问老师什么时候上摔跤课,说明学生们热情高涨且经常练习,自然会有成果,选项C“Some of them are excellent wrestlers now.”是这一情况的自然结果。

【导语】本文讲述了英国男孩戴尔、美国男孩艾伦和吉姆最喜欢的一天及原因,展现了他们对学校生活的不同态度。
【详解】
1.句意:他一周上学五天,从周一到周五。
根据“He goes to school five days a week.”,可知上学时间通常是从周一到周五,Friday“周五”,符合逻辑。Thursday“周四”;Wednesday“周三”;Tuesday“周二”,天数均不足五天。
2.句意:因为今天是周一——一周的第二天。
根据“the ... day”可知此处需用序数词表示顺序。在西方习惯中周日为第一天,周一为第二天,second“第二”,符合题意。two“二”;one“一”;twice“两次”,均不符合题意。
3.句意:对大多数学生来说,周一很无聊,因为他们又得去上学了。
根据“because they have to go to school again”可知,学生通常不喜欢上学,感觉无聊,boring“无聊的”,符合大多数学生不想上学的心情。great“极好的”;easy“容易的”;interesting“有趣的”,均为积极或中性词汇。
4.句意:这是戴尔最喜欢的科目。
根据“On Monday, Dale has PE.”可知,体育是学校的一门课程,subject指学校科目,符合语境。food“食物”;sport“运动”;colour“颜色”,均不符合题意。
5.句意:他总是和学生们在操场上玩游戏。
根据“games with students”可知,学生在“玩游戏”,固定搭配play games意为“玩游戏”,主语He是第三人称单数,plays符合搭配及语法。watches“观看”;gets“得到”;buys“买”,均不符合题意。
6.句意:而且他总是有办法让他的课有趣,所以戴尔非常喜欢星期一。
根据“ways”,结合常用结构ways to do sth.意为“做某事的方法”,可知此处要用不定式 to make作后置定语修饰ways。其他选项形式不符。
7.句意:但对于来自日落中学的美国男孩艾伦来说,情况不同。
根据“it is different”可知,此处表示转折,艾伦的情况与戴尔不同,But“但是”,表示转折关系,符合逻辑。So“所以”;Because“因为”;And“和”,均不符合逻辑。
8.句意:周四是他最喜欢的一天,因为他希望有朝一日能环游世界。
根据后文他想环游世界并喜欢那天的课可知,这是他偏爱的一天,favourite“最喜欢的”,符合喜爱的情感色彩。last“最后的”;black“黑色的”;first“第一的”,均不符合语境。
9.句意:在那天,他们有地理课。
根据下文可知,此处是指学习关于国家的知识的课,geography“地理”,符合学习国家知识的课程内容。science“科学”;maths“数学”;art“艺术”,均不符合题意。
10.句意:从课上,他可以了解关于不同国家的知识。
根据“about different countries”,结合固定搭配learn about意为“了解,学习关于……”可知,learn“学习”,符合获取知识的语境。have“有”;thank“感谢”;bring“带来”,动词含义均不符合题意。

【导语】本文主要介绍了艾伦的个人信息,以及他在深圳上学时的课程安排,特别是星期二的忙碌与快乐的生活状态。
【详解】
1.句意:我是一个英国男孩,但现在我和父母住在中国。
根据后文“Sunshine Primary School in Shenzhen”可知,深圳在中国,China“中国”符合语境。Cuba古巴;Canada加拿大;India印度,均不符合逻辑。
2.句意:我从周一到周五上学。
“from ... to ...”是固定搭配,表示“从……到……”。at在;on在……上;in在……里,均不能与to构成固定搭配。
3.句意:我最喜欢的上学日是星期二,因为那天有一些有趣的科目。
空后“there are some interesting subjects on that day”是喜欢周二的原因,应用连词because“因为”引导原因状语从句。but但是;until直到;when当……时候,均不符合逻辑。
4.句意:我上午有三节课。
根据后文提到的学科数学、历史和英语可知,上午有三节课,three“三”符合语境。two二;four四;five五,均不符合逻辑。
5.句意:我认为数学很难但是很有用。
“difficult”和“useful”之间存在转折关系,应用连词but“但是”连接。and和;so所以;because因为,均无法体现转折逻辑。
6.句意:在这段时间里,我可以在教室里和同学聊天或者在操场做运动。
课间休息时,学生们在教室里通常可以聊天,talk with“和……聊天”符合语境。swim with和……游泳;live with和……居住;ride with和……共骑,均不符合动作发生在教室的场景。
7.句意:下午有两节课。
根据上文“I have ... classes in the morning.”及后文“At 2:00”和“My classes finish at 4:00 and I can go home.”可知,按照时间顺序,此处表示下午时间,afternoon“下午”符合语境。morning上午;night晚上;noon中午,均与后文时间点不符。
8.句意:它给我们的课堂带来了生机,我从中学到很多东西。
固定搭配bring sth. to life表示“让某物生动起来、赋予生机”,符合语境。gives 给;performs表演;begins开始,均不符合语境。
9.句意:现在我能说和写一点中文了。
此处表示学习中文后,现在能说一点中文、写一点中文,speak“说”符合语境。learn学习;tell告诉;sing唱,均不符合语境。
10.句意:星期二我真的很忙,但我很高兴。
根据前文“My favourite school day is Tuesday”可知,整篇都在介绍星期二从早到晚的课程安排,所以这里是说星期二很忙碌但很开心,Tuesday“星期二”符合语境。Monday星期一;Thursday星期四;Wednesday星期三,均不符合逻辑。
Passage C
A science teacher wants to tell an idea to his students. He takes a large bottle and 1 a few large stones (石头) in it. He then asks the class, “Is the bottle 2 now?” They all answer, “Yes!”
The teacher then takes some small stones and puts them into the 58 . The small stones go into the room between the 3 stones. He then asks, “Is it full?” This time some students give no answer, but most 4 , “Yes!”
The teacher then starts to drop some 5 into the bottle. The sand 6 the room between the small stones. For the third time, the teacher asks, “Is it full?” Now most of them are thinking, but still, some say, “Yes!”
Then the 7 pours a cup of water into the bottle and asks, “What’s the point of this experiment (实验)?” One clever student answers, “You can 8 find time to do more things.”
“No,” says the teacher. “The point is that if you don’t put the big stones first, you’ll never get them in. The big stones are the 9 things in your life. If your life is full of small things, like the sand and the water, you’ll never have time for the important things.”
1.A.gives B.gets C.puts D.takes
2.A.full B.heavy C.broken D.large
3.A.mouth B.cup C.glass D.bottle

【答案】
1.C 2.A 3.D 4.A 5.B 6.C 7.C 8.B 9.A 10.D
【导语】本文讲述了一位科学老师利用瓶子、大石头、小石头、沙子和水做实验。先往瓶子放入大石头,再放入小石头,接着倒入沙子,最后加水。借这个实验告诉学生:大石头代表生活中重要的事,如果生活先被琐事填满,就再也没有时间处理重要的事情。
【详解】
1.句意:他拿一个大瓶子,往里面放几块大石头。
根据原文“He takes a large bottle and … a few large stones in it.”,此处表达把石头放进瓶子,puts意为“放”,符合实验动作。gives“给”、gets“得到”、takes“拿”均不符合把石头装入瓶中的语境。
2.句意:然后他问全班同学:“瓶子现在满了吗?”
根据后文“They all answer, ‘Yes!’”以及下文多次出现问句“Is it full?”,老师在询问瓶子是否装满。full意为“满的”。heavy“重的”、broken“破碎的”、large“大的”和实验提问内容不匹配。
3.句意:然后老师拿一些小石头,把它们放进瓶子。
结合上文实验,物品都是放入同一个瓶子,bottle意为“瓶子”。mouth“嘴巴”、cup“杯子”、glass“玻璃杯”均不是实验所用容器。
4.句意:小石头进入大石头之间的空隙。
根据前文先放入“large stones(大石头)”,后放小石头,小石头填充大石头缝隙。big意为“大的”。small“小的”、magic“有魔力的”、good“好的”不符合层级关系。
5.句意:这次部分学生没有作答,但大部分人回答:“是的!”
根据引号内“‘Yes!’”,这是学生给出的答复,answer意为“回答”。buy“买”、notice“注意”、ask“询问”语义不通。
6.句意:接着老师往瓶子里倒入一些沙子。
根据后文“The sand … the room between the small stones.”,下文主语是sand,说明此刻倒入的是沙子。sand意为“沙子”。water“水”、stones“石头”、milk“牛奶”和后文提示冲突。
7.句意:沙子进入小石头之间的空隙。
结合实验过程,沙子流进小石头的缝隙之中,goes into意为“进入”。listens to“听”、works out“算出”、plays with“玩耍”和沙子的动作不符。
8.句意:然后老师往瓶子倒一杯水,问道:“这个实验的意义是什么?”
实验是由科学老师操作,teacher意为“老师”。student“学生”、father“父亲”、mother“母亲”人物身份与原文“A science teacher wants to tell an idea to his students.”不一致。
9.句意:你总能挤出时间做更多的事。
学生看完实验得出的理解:总可以找到时间做更多事,always意为“总是”。never“从不”、sometimes“有时”、seldom“很少”不符合学生的这句观点。
10.句意:大石头就是你生命中重要的事情。
根据文末“you’ll never have time for the important things”,文章点明大石头代表重要事物,important意为“重要的”。beautiful“美丽的”、careful“仔细的”、interesting“有趣的”,和结尾主旨句不对应。
Passage D

“Our school garden needs help!” says Mr Song, our class teacher. “The flowers are wilting (枯萎). Let’s 1 it!” He believes the subjects we are learning can help.
Yaming’s favourite subject is 2 . “Our garden is in a 3 place, so the flowers need more water.” Teng Fei loves maths. He thinks maths always helps us 4 problems. “There are 35 flowers, and each needs 300 ml. 5 we need to prepare 10.5L of water daily.” Peter likes biology best. He 6 the soil (土壤) is not good for the flowers. So we prepare enough water and fertilize (施肥) the soil together. Chen Jie 7 both English and Chinese. She makes a bilingual sign (双语标识):“Bloom with care! 悉心以待,如约而开!” She puts it 8 the garden to tell everyone to love the flowers. Fu Xing likes IT. She makes a short video about the garden and shows it to other classes.
With our help, the flowers grow 9 well. The garden is beautiful again. Now students and teachers enjoy visiting it during break time. “You see?” says Mr Song. “All subjects are 10 and important. This is how learning works. We can use what we learn to make our world better.”

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述宋老师带领学生利用各科知识拯救学校枯萎花园的故事,体现了学科知识的实用性和学习的重要性。
【详解】
1.句意:花儿快要枯萎了。让我们拯救它!
前文提到花朵正在枯萎,说明花园遇到危机,需要大家挽救。save意为“拯救”;collect“收集”,remember“记住”,water“浇水”,单独浇水不足以概括整体行动,只有save贴合抢救花园的语境。
2.句意:亚明最喜欢的学科是地理。
后文他分析花园所处位置、植物需水量,地理位置、气候与水分的关联属于地理学科知识。music“音乐”、history“历史”、English“英语”,都和分析场地环境、植物需水无关。
3.句意:我们的花园处在向阳的地方,所以花儿需要更多水分。
阳光充足的位置水分蒸发更快,植物就需要更多水。rainy“多雨的”、snowy“下雪的”,环境不需要额外多补水;windy“有风的”,不能直接推导出需大量浇水,只有sunny符合逻辑。
4.句意:他认为数学总能帮助我们解决问题。
work out problems是固定短语,意思是“解决难题”。listen to“倾听”,后接人或声音;learn about意为“了解”;work on表示“从事、致力于”,不能和problems搭配表达“解题”含义。
5.句意:一共有35株花,每株需要300毫升。所以我们每天需要准备10.5升水。
前一句是已知条件,后一句是通过计算得出的结果,属于因果关系,结果前使用So。But表转折;Because用来引出原因;And表并列顺承,均不符合逻辑。
6.句意:彼得最喜欢生物。他发现土壤不适宜花卉生长。
结合生物学科知识,观察土质情况得出结论,finds表示“发现、察觉到”。looks后面不能直接接宾语;draws“画画”;teaches“教授”,放入句子语义不通。
7.句意:陈杰擅长英语和语文。
be good at固定搭配,含义为擅长某事。be good with多指“善于与人打交道”;be good for表示“对……有益”;be good to意思是“对……友善”,这三个短语都不能表达擅长学科。
8.句意:她把双语标识放在花园前面,提醒大家爱护鲜花。
标识一般放置在花园入口前方,方便进出的人看见。under“在物体正下方”;across from“在……对面”;above“在物体正上方”,都不符合标识摆放的现实场景。
9.句意:在我们的帮助下,花儿长得十分好。
副词really用来修饰副词well,用来加强程度,表示“十分、非常”。exactly“精确地”;usually“通常”;happily“开心地”,不能用来修饰植物生长状态。
10.句意:所有学科都是有用且重要的。
全文所有人借助地理、数学、生物、语言、信息技术知识改造花园,证明各门学科具备实用价值。similar“相似的”;difficult“困难的”;exciting“令人激动的”,和文章主旨不符。

Passage B
Dear Jenny,
How are you these days? You shared your favourite subjects with me in your last letter. I like English too. I think it is interesting and useful. You also like maths, but I am not good at it. I think it is too difficult. Maybe you can help me with it next time.
Our classes are over at 4:30 p.m. and I can get home at 5:00 p.m. But I seldom go home right after class because I take part in different activities. On Monday afternoon, I have a violin lesson for an hour. On Tuesday and Friday afternoon, I go to the reading club with my friends. We talk about the books and the writers, and we enjoy it so much. On Thursday, I go to the chess club. I often play chess for about an hour. What’s more, we have a school field trip every term. We often visit a farm. We can learn how to grow different kinds of crops (作物) and pick fruit. It is great fun.
On Saturday, I don’t have classes. I often practise singing in an art school. I like singing and I can sing better now. I usually go to the park with my friends or have a rest on Sunday. I am busy every day, but I enjoy my life very much.
Yours,
Alice
