I first searched online for some simple designs and bought the necessary materials: wood boards, nails, a hammer and some paint. At the beginning, I made a mistake.

Once at the restaurant, I told him the tomatoes were delicious. He laughed and said they usually used “tasty” or “yummy”. “Delicious” was a little strange(奇怪的). Then I found that the English we learn in school isn’t always the same as it in real life. What can I do to make it better? Dave Hi Dave, During my time in China, I had the same experience. Some of my friends would say “I seldom play games.” But we Australians often say “I don’t really play games.” I think it’s fine because every native speaker understands me when I speak. This is a common part of language learning. When I was learning Chinese, I learned “ni hao ma”, but in China, it is not common in everyday conversations (对话). In my eyes, the Chinese education (教育) does a great job in teaching English, so keep listening carefully to your teacher. In your free time, you can watch some movies and read books to learn more about English. And then use what you learn and practise speaking with your friends. Lily 26．Dave writes a letter to Lily to ________. A．say hello to her B．ask for some advice C．invite her to join an English party D．make friends with her 27．Where is Lily from? A．The US. B．The UK. C．Australia. D．Canada. 28．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Australians usually use “tasty” or “delicious” instead of “yummy”. B．The English we learn in school isn’t always the same as it is in real life. C．Australians often say “I seldom play games.” instead of “I don’t really play games.” D．The Chinese education system doesn’t do a great job of teaching English. 【答案】26．B 27．C 28．B 【解析】本文是两封书信，Dave写信讲述自己发现课本英语和现实生活里的英语用法不一样，向Lily求助；Lily结合自己在中国学中文的经历，给Dave提出了英语学习的建议。 26．原文Dave信件末尾“What can I do to make it better?”，说明Dave写信是为了寻求建议。 27．原文Lily回信里“But we Australians often say ‘I don’t really play games.’”，句中we Australians说明Lily来自澳大利亚。 28．原文Dave的信中“Then I find that the English we learn in school isn’t always the same as it in real life.”，和选项B表述完全一致。 B Can you imagine a school with only one student? There was one on the Out Skerries Islands, and Aron was the only student. The Out Skerries Islands, which are around 280km from the coast of Scotland, are home to about 70 people. The nearest town is Lerwick on the Shetland Islands. You can only get there by boat and it takes two and a half hours. Besides Aron’s school,  there are also two shops and a community hall on the islands. Aron wasn’t the only student at the school at first. There were several other children there before. But when they were older, they went to the secondary school in Lerwick. Aron then became the only student. The school was very small. It had two classrooms, an art room, a music room and a library. Each week Aron studied Maths, English, Science and Art with the same teacher. She also gave him PE lessons. This was usually a long walk around the islands. He also had the school playground all to himself. Of course, there was one problem. He had no one to play with. Aron had lived in Out Skerries since he was born and loved the outdoor life. He enjoyed exploring the islands on his bike and jumping into the sea from the pier (突堤). But his mother was worried that Aron might get lonely. She would like to see more families with children coming to live there. Many people have moved away since the local factory closed years ago. That’s why there were so few children on the islands and why Aron found himself being known as the loneliest schoolboy in Britain. 29．What can we learn about Aron’s school? A．It had many classrooms. B．There were some students. C．It probably had only one teacher. D．Four subjects were taught in the school. 30．In his PE class, Aron usually_______. A．walked around the islands B．played on the playground C．explored the islands on his bike D．jumped into the sea from the pier 31．What do you think Aron probably learned at his school? A．Everyone is different and that’s a good thing. B．Teamwork is important to achieve things in life. C．It is important to know how to spend time alone. D．It’s good to learn how to get on with people of different ages. 32．What is the passage mainly about? A．The smallest school in Britain. B．The loneliest schoolboy in Britain. C．Aron’s colourful life on the islands. D．Mum’s worries about Aron’s future. 【答案】29．C 30．A 31．C 32．B 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了外斯克里群岛只有一个学生的学校，讲述了这种情况的原因，以及家长对孩子的担心。 29．根据第四段“Each week Aron studied Maths, English, Science and Art with the same teacher. She also gave him PE lessons.”可知，每周都跟同一个老师学习数学、英语、科学和美术，由此可推知这个学校可能只有一名老师。 30．根据第四段“She also gave him PE lessons. This was usually a long walk around the islands.”可知，在体育课上，阿伦通常会绕着岛屿散步。 31．根据第六段“But his mother was worried that Aron might get lonely.”及“That’s why there were so few children on the islands and why Aron found himself being known as the loneliest schoolboy in Britain.”可推知，阿伦是学校唯一一个学生，可能会感到孤单，所以他可能在学校要学着如何独处。 32．根据第七段“That’s why there were so few children on the islands and why Aron found himself being known as the loneliest schoolboy in Britain.”及全文的描述可知，本文主要讲述了阿伦作为英国最孤独学生的故事，选项B“The loneliest schoolboy in Britain.”最能概括文章主旨。 C Many students think that learning just means reading books again and again. However, effective (有效的) learning is not only about working hard but also about using the right ways. Firstly, previewing (预习) a lesson before class is very useful. It helps you understand the main idea and find out what you might find difficult. When you preview, you are not trying to learn everything. Just spend about ten minutes looking through the new lesson. This small step can make a big difference in class. Secondly, don’t just read your textbooks passively. Try to be an active learner. This means you should ask yourself questions while you study. You can also take notes in your own words or draw mind maps to connect ideas. Studies show that when you actively use knowledge, you remember it much longer. For example, explaining a science idea to a friend is a great way to check if you really understand it yourself. Finally, review (复习) what you have learned to store information in your memory. A good way is to review your notes after class and then again a few days later. This is more effective than making all your studying into one long session (一段时间) before an exam. So, don’t forget: Success comes from working hard little by little and finding your own way. When you discover how you learn best, you will become a great learner! 33．What is the main purpose (目的) of previewing a lesson? A．To finish all the exercises before the class. B．To remember all the new knowledge perfectly. C．To draw a complete mind map for the lesson. D．To understand the main idea and find the difficult parts. 34．What does the underlined word “passively” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．without thinking actively B．in a right way C．with great care D．with great interest 35．If a student often forgets what he has learned quickly, which suggestion from the text can help him? A．Previewing lessons for a long time. B．Focusing on the difficult parts during class. C．Review all lessons only one day before exams. D．Using knowledge actively, like explaining ideas to others. 36．What is the best title for the text? A．Be an Active Learner B．The Right Ways to Learn C．The Importance of Previewing D．How Your Brain Stores Information 【答案】33．D 34．A 35．D 36．B 【解析】本文介绍了有效的学习方法。 33．细节理解题。根据“Firstly, previewing (预习) a lesson before class is very useful. It helps you understand the main idea and find out what you might find difficult.”可知，预习一节课的主要目的是理解主要思想并找出困难部分。故选D。 34．词句猜测题。根据“Secondly, don’t just read your textbooks passively. Try to be an active learner. This means you should ask yourself questions while you study.”可知，不要被动地读课本，要成为积极的学习者，也就是要积极思考，所以“passively”意思是“没有积极思考”。故选A。 35．细节理解题。根据“Studies show that when you actively use knowledge, you remember it much longer. For example, explaining a science idea to a friend is a great way to check if you really understand it yourself.”可知，如果一个学生经常很快忘记所学内容，积极使用知识，比如向别人解释想法，这个建议能帮到他。故选D。 36．最佳标题题。根据“However, effective (有效的) learning is not only about working hard but also about using the right ways.”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了有效的学习方法，所以最佳标题是“The Right Ways to Learn”。故选B。 D “Come and play with me,” the little prince suggested. “I am so unhappy.” “I cannot play with you,” the fox said, “I am not tamed.” “What does ‘tame’ mean?” asked the little prince. “It means to set up a relationship,” said the fox. “To me, you are still nothing. But if you tame me, we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique (独一无二的) in all the world.” “Please tame me!” said the fox. “You must be patient. Sit down a little distance from me, like this, in the grass. I will watch you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the cause of misunderstandings. But each day, you may sit a little closer…” The next day the prince returned. “It would have been better to come at the same hour,” said the fox. “If you come at four o’clock, I shall begin to be happy at three. The more time passes, the happier I’ll feel.” So the little prince tamed the fox. And when it was time to leave... “Ah,” said the fox, “I shall cry.” “It is your own fault (错误),” said the prince, “I never wished you harm, but you wanted me to tame you.” “Yes,” said the fox, “But now, look at the golden wheat fields. They will remind me of your hair. And I shall love the sound of the wind in the wheat...” Then he added “Go and look again at the roses. You’ll understand yours is unique. Remember: Real importance is unseen.” — From The Little Prince 37．What does the word “tame” mean in the passage? A．To play games together. B．To give gifts to each other. C．To travel to different places. D．To build a relationship. 38．What should the little prince do first to tame the fox? A．Sing a song for the fox. B．Promise to visit forever. C．Sit at a distance and be silent. D．Bring him delicious food every day. 39．Why does the fox ask the prince to come at the same hour every day? A．To test the prince’s memory. B．To make it sweet with expectation. C．To avoid meeting other animals. D．To save time for preparing food. 40．What is the main lesson the fox teaches the prince? A．True relationships need time and care. B．Animals are wiser than humans. C．Traveling makes people wiser. D．Happiness comes from owning expensive things. 【答案】37．D 38．C 39．B 40．A 【解析】本文节选自《小王子》，讲述小王子和狐狸相遇，狐狸向小王子解释“驯养”的含义，告知建立联结的方法，并阐述羁绊带来的意义。 37．根据划线词下文第四段“It means to set up a relationship”可知，tame的含义是“建立关系”。 38．根据文章第五段“Sit down a little distance from me, like this, in the grass. I will watch you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing.”可知，小王子首先要隔着一段距离坐下，保持沉默。 39．根据文章第六段“If you come at four o’clock, I shall begin to be happy at three. The more time passes, the happier I’ll feel.”可知，固定时间相见能让等待充满期待，让相遇变得美好。 40．通读全文，狐狸讲解驯养需要耐心、固定的约会、长久陪伴，说明真正的联结需要时间与用心呵护。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共50分） 四、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A) 请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使短文意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为41-45的相应横线上。 A good friend is like a shining star in our life.

Is it intelligence or talent? According to psychologist Angela Duckworth, the answer is neither. Grit — passion and perseverance for long-term goals — matters more than IQ. Duckworth’s findings show that it is 51 that those who keep working hard will achieve more than those who give up. She also found that many students 52 in reaching their goals after years of efforts. So don’t rely on talent alone. Building grit takes time. You need to have 53 with yourself, because progress is rarely quick. When you face a challenge, remind yourself that you can improve with practice. Don’t be too hard on yourself when you make mistakes. Beyond simply avoiding difficulties, true grit calls for 54 slow progress without losing hope. Concentration is also important. When you study, put away your phone and remain 55 on one task at a time. Don’t stop until you finish what you started. Remember: success is not about being the smartest; it’s about being the one who keeps going. 【答案】51．likely 52．succeeded 53．patience 54．putting up with 55．focused 【解析】本文主要讲述了心理学家Angela Duckworth的研究发现——决定成功的关键因素不是智商或天赋，而是意志力（grit），并建议学生通过培养耐心、坚持和专注来获得成功。 51．句意：Duckworth的研究发现表明，那些坚持努力工作的人比那些放弃的人更有可能取得更多成就。此处表示可能性，系动词is后需接形容词作表语，因此用like的形容词形式likely。 52．句意：她还发现，许多学生在经过多年的努力后成功实现了他们的目标。根据上下文可知，这是Duckworth过去的研究发现，句子需用一般过去时，“…in reaching their goals”表示“成功实现了他们的目标”，词框中success表示“成功”，常构成succeed in doing sth.，意为“成功做成某事”，与空后的“in reaching their goals”搭配语义通顺；因此用success的动词过去式succeeded。 53．句意：你需要对自己有耐心，因为进步很少是快速的。空处用名词作宾语，结合“ because progress is rarely quick”可知，要有耐心，词框中patient表示“有耐心的”，可构成固定搭配have patience with sb.，意为“对某人有耐心”，与空后的“with yourself”搭配符合语境；have后需接名词作宾语，因此用patient的名词形式patience。 54．句意：不仅仅是逃避困难，真正的意志力要求忍受缓慢的进步而不失去希望。空格前calls for中的for为介词，后需接动名词作宾语，此处表示面对缓慢进步仍需坚持的语境，词框中put up with意为“忍受，容忍”，与空后的“slow progress without losing hope”搭配，符合语境；因此用put up with的动名词形式putting up with。 55．句意：当你学习时，把手机收起来，一次只专注于一件事。remain为系动词，后需接形容词作表语，“…on one task at a time”表示“一次只专注于一件事”，词框中focus表示“集中，专注”，常构成remain focused on sth.，意为“保持专注于某事”，与空后的“on one task at a time”搭配语义通顺；因此用focus的形容词形式focused。 五、阅读填空（共19小题；满分20分） A) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在短文后表格中第56-63小题的空格里填入最恰当的单词，回答第64小题。将答案填写在答题卡标号为56-64的相应横线上。 注意：第56-63小题每个空格只填1个单词；第64小题不少于10个词。 In China, unlike in many other countries, movies almost always have subtitles (字幕) in both Chinese and English. This common practice has several key purposes: to improve understanding, increase accessibility (易于理解和使用), and support cultural exchange. First, China has many dialects (方言). People in different parts of China speak differently. Besides Mandarin and Cantonese, there are many other local dialects. Some movie characters speak in these dialects to make the story feel real. It presents a challenge to the understanding of viewers from other areas. Subtitles help everyone in China follow the story, no matter what dialect they speak. Second, some actors have soft or deep voices. These voices can sound emotional but are sometimes hard to hear in a loud cinema, especially with powerful bass sound. Subtitles make sure viewers don’t miss any words. Third, cinema sound is fixed. You can turn your TV up or down, but you cannot control the volume in a cinema. Sometimes, the background music or sound effects are too loud compared to the actors’ voices. The sound might not be perfect, but subtitles help viewers follow the story easily. Moreover, subtitles make films more inclusive (包容性). They help deaf or hard-of-hearing viewers understand the dialogue, giving them a full and enjoyable experience. Finally, English subtitles help Chinese movies go around the world. English is the world’s most popular second language. With English subtitles, international viewers, film festival judges, and movie critics can watch and understand Chinese films. This builds cross-cultural understanding and allows these films to be judged fairly on an international stage. In short, subtitles do more than just translate words—they build a bridge between cultures. They turn every film into a place where people from all over the world can meet and share stories. Chinese Movies with Chinese and English Subtitles Introduction Chinese and English subtitles help people 56 , access, and share culture. 57 for Chinese and English Subtitles When actors use local dialects, it is 58 for viewers from other areas to understand. Subtitles help everyone follow the story in any dialect. Some actors’ soft and deep voices are hard to hear clearly, especially with powerful bass music. Subtitles help viewers understand every word. Cinema sound is 59 the audience’s control. Subtitles make sure you will follow the story 60 the sound isn’t perfect. Subtitles help people who have 61 hearing the dialogue. They help deaf or hard-of-hearing viewers understand the dialogue and 62 the movie. English subtitles help 63 Chinese films with international viewers and experts, and improve cultural exchange and fair judgement. Conclusion Subtitles build a bridge between different cultures to bring stories to the world. Your idea Do English subtitles help you learn English? Why or why not? 64 【答案】56．understand 57．Reasons 58．difficult 59．beyond 60．although/though 61．trouble/difficulty 62．enjoy 63．connect 64．Yes, they do. English subtitles help me catch words I miss by ear and learn new expressions in real contexts.

What about a “take-out PE class”? This fun new service became a hot trend during summer vacation, letting students exercise right in their own neighborhoods.

A 68 to Guangming Daily, one-on-one lessons usually cost between 200 and 400 yuan. “It’s so convenient,” said Mrs. Wang, whose child is in the third grade. Before, she spent an hour t 69 her son to the gym, “Now the teacher comes to the open area downstairs, and I can even watch from my balcony!” These outdoor classes aren’t just convenient — they really help kids improve. Mrs. Wang’s son u 70 to trip often while jumping rope, but after three weeks of “take-out PE”, he went from 120 to 160 jumps per minute. Since each plan is made just for one child, it’s more helpful than big group classes. But there are some problems too. Most classes are held in p 71 spaces like parks or squares, where the ground can be too hard for safe running and jumping. Also, with people walking by and sometimes cars passing, s 72 can be a worry. Many parents who choose these classes are preparing their c 73 for high school entrance exams. A 74 Xinhua noted, this “exam-first” thinking may change the real purpose of sports — which is not just to pass tests, but to enjoy being active and healthy. 【答案】 65．ordered/rdered 66．simply/imply 67．include/nclude 68．According/ccording 69．taking/aking 70．used/sed 71．public/ublic 72．safety/afety 73．children/hildren 74．As/s 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了新兴的“外卖体育课”，介绍了它的运作方式、优势、存在问题以及人们的不同看法。 65．句意：你曾经点过外卖食物吗？根据下文“take‑out food”以及首字母提示o，可知语境表达的意思是“点餐”；句中“Have you ever…”为现在完成时，have后接动词过去分词，order表示“点餐”，符合语境，过去分词是ordered。 66．句意：它是这样运作的：家长只需在软件上预约课程，体育老师就会带着全部运动器材上门。通读上下文可知，本句主谓成分完整，结合首字母s，语境表达的意思是“仅仅、只需”，需要副词修饰动词order，simply符合语境。 67．句意：课程包含基础体能训练以及篮球、网球这类活动。根据后文“basic fitness training and games like basketball or tennis”，可知是在介绍课程涵盖的内容，结合首字母i，推断词义为“包含”；主语Classes是复数，一般现在时中谓语动词需用动词原形，故填include。 68．句意：据《光明日报》报道，一对一课程的费用通常在200到400元之间。后文是引用报纸的信息，结合首字母A，固定搭配according to表示“根据，据……报道”，符合语境，故填According。 69．句意：以前，她要花一小时带儿子去体育馆。固定结构spend time (in) doing sth.表示“花费时间做某事”，动词要使用动名词形式；结合上下文语境及首字母t可知，此处表达花费时间带孩子去场馆，take sb. to…表示“带某人去某地”，符合语境，故填taking。 70．句意：王女士的儿子过去跳绳的时候经常绊倒，但是上了三周外卖体育课后，他每分钟跳绳从120个提升到160个。后文“but after three weeks”表示现在和过去做对比，结合首字母u，固定短语used to do sth.表示“过去常常做某事”，描述过去的情况，符合语境，故填used。 71．句意：大多数课程在公园、广场这类公共场地开展，地面过硬，不利于安全跑跳。根据下文举例“parks or squares”，可知这些都属于公共区域，结合首字母p，修饰名词spaces，应用形容词public，表示“公共的”。 72．句意：此外，行人往来，车辆通行，安全就成为一件令人担忧的事。上文提到在公园广场上课，周围有行人和车辆，会带来隐患，结合首字母s，此处作主语需要名词，safety表示“安全”，符合语境。 73．句意：许多选择这类课程的家长，正在帮他们的孩子备战中考。主语为“parents”，结合语境及首字母提示c，可知家长在为自己的孩子备考；their后需接名词复数，child的复数是children，表示“孩子们”，符合语境。 74．句意：正如新华社指出，这种“考试优先”的想法可能改变运动真正的目的——不只是通过考试，更是享受运动、保持健康。后文引用报刊提出的观点，结合首字母A，as在此处意为“正如”，用于引出引用内容，符合语境，首字母需大写，故填As。 六、书面表达（共1小题；满分15分） 75．在你的成长历程中，一定有学习的榜样，可能是为国家做出巨大贡献的人，可能是你身边的平凡人，也可能是文学作品中的人物。他们未必拥有轰轰烈烈的事迹，却能深深影响我们。请以“My role model”为题写一篇英语短文。 内容包括： 1.介绍对你有影响的榜样及他/她成为你的榜样的原因。 2.阐明榜样对你的影响及你的未来规划。 要求： 1.词数100左右; 2.文章通顺，书写规范； 3.不得出现真实人名，班级等信息。 My role model _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 My role model My role model is my mother.

Once at the restaurant, I told him the tomatoes were delicious. He laughed and said they usually used “tasty” or “yummy”. “Delicious” was a little strange(奇怪的). Then I found that the English we learn in school isn’t always the same as it in real life. What can I do to make it better? Dave Hi Dave, During my time in China, I had the same experience. Some of my friends would say “I seldom play games.” But we Australians often say “I don’t really play games.” I think it’s fine because every native speaker understands me when I speak. This is a common part of language learning. When I was learning Chinese, I learned “ni hao ma”, but in China, it is not common in everyday conversations (对话). In my eyes, the Chinese education (教育) does a great job in teaching English, so keep listening carefully to your teacher. In your free time, you can watch some movies and read books to learn more about English. And then use what you learn and practise speaking with your friends. Lily 26．Dave writes a letter to Lily to ________. A．say hello to her B．ask for some advice C．invite her to join an English party D．make friends with her 27．Where is Lily from? A．The US. B．The UK. C．Australia. D．Canada. 28．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Australians usually use “tasty” or “delicious” instead of “yummy”. B．The English we learn in school isn’t always the same as it is in real life. C．Australians often say “I seldom play games.” instead of “I don’t really play games.” D．The Chinese education system doesn’t do a great job of teaching English. B Can you imagine a school with only one student? There was one on the Out Skerries Islands, and Aron was the only student. The Out Skerries Islands, which are around 280km from the coast of Scotland, are home to about 70 people. The nearest town is Lerwick on the Shetland Islands. You can only get there by boat and it takes two and a half hours. Besides Aron’s school,  there are also two shops and a community hall on the islands. Aron wasn’t the only student at the school at first. There were several other children there before. But when they were older, they went to the secondary school in Lerwick. Aron then became the only student. The school was very small. It had two classrooms, an art room, a music room and a library. Each week Aron studied Maths, English, Science and Art with the same teacher. She also gave him PE lessons. This was usually a long walk around the islands. He also had the school playground all to himself. Of course, there was one problem. He had no one to play with. Aron had lived in Out Skerries since he was born and loved the outdoor life. He enjoyed exploring the islands on his bike and jumping into the sea from the pier (突堤). But his mother was worried that Aron might get lonely. She would like to see more families with children coming to live there. Many people have moved away since the local factory closed years ago. That’s why there were so few children on the islands and why Aron found himself being known as the loneliest schoolboy in Britain. 29．What can we learn about Aron’s school? A．It had many classrooms. B．There were some students. C．It probably had only one teacher. D．Four subjects were taught in the school. 30．In his PE class, Aron usually_______. A．walked around the islands B．played on the playground C．explored the islands on his bike D．jumped into the sea from the pier 31．What do you think Aron probably learned at his school? A．Everyone is different and that’s a good thing. B．Teamwork is important to achieve things in life. C．It is important to know how to spend time alone. D．It’s good to learn how to get on with people of different ages. 32．What is the passage mainly about? A．The smallest school in Britain. B．The loneliest schoolboy in Britain. C．Aron’s colourful life on the islands. D．Mum’s worries about Aron’s future. C Many students think that learning just means reading books again and again. However, effective (有效的) learning is not only about working hard but also about using the right ways. Firstly, previewing (预习) a lesson before class is very useful. It helps you understand the main idea and find out what you might find difficult. When you preview, you are not trying to learn everything. Just spend about ten minutes looking through the new lesson. This small step can make a big difference in class. Secondly, don’t just read your textbooks passively. Try to be an active learner. This means you should ask yourself questions while you study. You can also take notes in your own words or draw mind maps to connect ideas. Studies show that when you actively use knowledge, you remember it much longer. For example, explaining a science idea to a friend is a great way to check if you really understand it yourself. Finally, review (复习) what you have learned to store information in your memory. A good way is to review your notes after class and then again a few days later. This is more effective than making all your studying into one long session (一段时间) before an exam. So, don’t forget: Success comes from working hard little by little and finding your own way.

People in different parts of China speak differently. Besides Mandarin and Cantonese, there are many other local dialects. Some movie characters speak in these dialects to make the story feel real. It presents a challenge to the understanding of viewers from other areas. Subtitles help everyone in China follow the story, no matter what dialect they speak.

Subtitles make sure viewers don’t miss any words. Third, cinema sound is fixed. You can turn your TV up or down, but you cannot control the volume in a cinema. Sometimes, the background music or sound effects are too loud compared to the actors’ voices. The sound might not be perfect, but subtitles help viewers follow the story easily. Moreover, subtitles make films more inclusive (包容性). They help deaf or hard-of-hearing viewers understand the dialogue, giving them a full and enjoyable experience. Finally, English subtitles help Chinese movies go around the world. English is the world’s most popular second language. With English subtitles, international viewers, film festival judges, and movie critics can watch and understand Chinese films. This builds cross-cultural understanding and allows these films to be judged fairly on an international stage.

This fun new service became a hot trend during summer vacation, letting students exercise right in their own neighborhoods. Here’s how it works: parents s 66 order a class on an app, and a PE teacher arrives with all the sports equipment needed. Classes i 67 basic fitness training and games like basketball or tennis. A 68 to Guangming Daily, one-on-one lessons usually cost between 200 and 400 yuan. “It’s so convenient,” said Mrs. Wang, whose child is in the third grade. Before, she spent an hour t 69 her son to the gym, “Now the teacher comes to the open area downstairs, and I can even watch from my balcony!” These outdoor classes aren’t just convenient — they really help kids improve. Mrs. Wang’s son u 70 to trip often while jumping rope, but after three weeks of “take-out PE”, he went from 120 to 160 jumps per minute. Since each plan is made just for one child, it’s more helpful than big group classes. But there are some problems too. Most classes are held in p 71 spaces like parks or squares, where the ground can be too hard for safe running and jumping. Also, with people walking by and sometimes cars passing, s 72 can be a worry. Many parents who choose these classes are preparing their c 73 for high school entrance exams.

When is lunch? “There isn’t a special time,” a student tells me. “The school serves (供应) food all day so students can take a break 22 they need to do it in the working world.” Students don’t only study games, of course.

Once at the restaurant, I told him the tomatoes were delicious. He laughed and said they usually used “tasty” or “yummy”. “Delicious” was a little strange(奇怪的). Then I found that the English we learn in school isn’t always the same as it in real life. What can I do to make it better? Dave Hi Dave, During my time in China, I had the same experience. Some of my friends would say “I seldom play games.” But we Australians often say “I don’t really play games.” I think it’s fine because every native speaker understands me when I speak. This is a common part of language learning. When I was learning Chinese, I learned “ni hao ma”, but in China, it is not common in everyday conversations (对话). In my eyes, the Chinese education (教育) does a great job in teaching English, so keep listening carefully to your teacher. In your free time, you can watch some movies and read books to learn more about English. And then use what you learn and practise speaking with your friends. Lily 26．Dave writes a letter to Lily to ________. A．say hello to her B．ask for some advice C．invite her to join an English party D．make friends with her 27．Where is Lily from? A．The US. B．The UK. C．Australia. D．Canada. 28．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Australians usually use “tasty” or “delicious” instead of “yummy”. B．The English we learn in school isn’t always the same as it is in real life. C．Australians often say “I seldom play games.” instead of “I don’t really play games.” D．The Chinese education system doesn’t do a great job of teaching English. B Can you imagine a school with only one student? There was one on the Out Skerries Islands, and Aron was the only student. The Out Skerries Islands, which are around 280km from the coast of Scotland, are home to about 70 people. The nearest town is Lerwick on the Shetland Islands. You can only get there by boat and it takes two and a half hours. Besides Aron’s school,  there are also two shops and a community hall on the islands. Aron wasn’t the only student at the school at first. There were several other children there before. But when they were older, they went to the secondary school in Lerwick. Aron then became the only student. The school was very small. It had two classrooms, an art room, a music room and a library. Each week Aron studied Maths, English, Science and Art with the same teacher. She also gave him PE lessons. This was usually a long walk around the islands. He also had the school playground all to himself. Of course, there was one problem. He had no one to play with. Aron had lived in Out Skerries since he was born and loved the outdoor life. He enjoyed exploring the islands on his bike and jumping into the sea from the pier (突堤). But his mother was worried that Aron might get lonely. She would like to see more families with children coming to live there. Many people have moved away since the local factory closed years ago. That’s why there were so few children on the islands and why Aron found himself being known as the loneliest schoolboy in Britain. 29．What can we learn about Aron’s school? A．It had many classrooms. B．There were some students. C．It probably had only one teacher. D．Four subjects were taught in the school. 30．In his PE class, Aron usually_______. A．walked around the islands B．played on the playground C．explored the islands on his bike D．jumped into the sea from the pier 31．What do you think Aron probably learned at his school? A．Everyone is different and that’s a good thing. B．Teamwork is important to achieve things in life. C．It is important to know how to spend time alone. D．It’s good to learn how to get on with people of different ages. 32．What is the passage mainly about? A．The smallest school in Britain. B．The loneliest schoolboy in Britain. C．Aron’s colourful life on the islands. D．Mum’s worries about Aron’s future. C Many students think that learning just means reading books again and again. However, effective (有效的) learning is not only about working hard but also about using the right ways. Firstly, previewing (预习) a lesson before class is very useful. It helps you understand the main idea and find out what you might find difficult. When you preview, you are not trying to learn everything. Just spend about ten minutes looking through the new lesson. This small step can make a big difference in class. Secondly, don’t just read your textbooks passively. Try to be an active learner. This means you should ask yourself questions while you study. You can also take notes in your own words or draw mind maps to connect ideas. Studies show that when you actively use knowledge, you remember it much longer. For example, explaining a science idea to a friend is a great way to check if you really understand it yourself. Finally, review (复习) what you have learned to store information in your memory. A good way is to review your notes after class and then again a few days later. This is more effective than making all your studying into one long session (一段时间) before an exam. So, don’t forget: Success comes from working hard little by little and finding your own way. When you discover how you learn best, you will become a great learner! 33．What is the main purpose (目的) of previewing a lesson? A．To finish all the exercises before the class. B．To remember all the new knowledge perfectly. C．To draw a complete mind map for the lesson. D．To understand the main idea and find the difficult parts. 34．What does the underlined word “passively” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．without thinking actively B．in a right way C．with great care D．with great interest 35．If a student often forgets what he has learned quickly, which suggestion from the text can help him? A．Previewing lessons for a long time. B．Focusing on the difficult parts during class. C．Review all lessons only one day before exams. D．Using knowledge actively, like explaining ideas to others. 36．What is the best title for the text? A．Be an Active Learner B．The Right Ways to Learn C．The Importance of Previewing D．How Your Brain Stores Information D “Come and play with me,” the little prince suggested. “I am so unhappy.” “I cannot play with you,” the fox said, “I am not tamed.” “What does ‘tame’ mean?” asked the little prince. “It means to set up a relationship,” said the fox. “To me, you are still nothing.
