He agreed to let us search for Larry a little longer before going home. Imani had a clever idea. She said, ’I think it might be a good idea to try putting ourselves in Larry’s shoes.’ Miguel and I laughed at the thought of wearing small lizard shoes, but Imani said that she meant we should think like a lizard to find out where Larry went. Miguel suggested that if he were Larry, he would be hungry. So we left a trail of (一连串) food leading to Larry’s house. I added that if I were Larry, I would probably be feeling cold, so we made a comfortable nest outside his house to invite him back. Imani then suggested that since Larry loved it when we sang to him, a song might help him find his way home. We left the food trail, made a comfortable nest and made up a song. While Imani was singing the last part of the song, she looked up and saw Larry sticking his head out of an air vent (通气孔). We were amazed that we hadn’t thought to look up before! We were so happy to see that Larry was safe. Mr Jones reached Larry, put him back in his house, and even got a new cover to make sure he wouldn’t disappear again. We learnt a valuable lesson that day. Sometimes, the solution to a problem is right in front of us, and all we need to do is to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes. 1．Which of the following words best describes Imani? A．Smart. B．Quiet.

A．Larry liked staying in cold places alone. B．The children knew where Larry was at first. C．Mr Jones cared about the kids and their pet.

We are all here.” Mom put my hand under cool water at once. She looked very worried and said, “Are you all right, Nancy?” “I’ll get some medicine for you,” Aunt said and hurried to the room. My cousin helped clean the floor carefully. No one was angry with me. Soon my hand felt much better. We sat together and went on with the party happily.

Passage 4 Candy was a bright girl, but a serious illness changed her life greatly. After she recovered (康复), she needed to wear a hearing aid (助听器) to help her hear. When it was time to start primary school, Candy was very worried. She thought the hearing aid behind her ear made her look different from others. She feared her classmates would laugh at her and that she would never make a true friend. Her first friend was Ginny. Ginny was kind, but she made Candy feel very uncomfortable. She spoke in a loud, slow voice, as if Candy couldn’t understand her. Even worse, she introduced Candy to everyone as her “deaf friend”. This made Candy feel like her hearing loss was the only thing people noticed about her. Luckily, Candy later met Martha, and everything began to feel different. Martha was a true friend. She didn’t care about the hearing aid and treated Candy just like everyone else. Together, they spent hours playing fun games and sharing secrets. With Martha’s support, Candy’s confidence began to grow. Slowly, Candy realized that being different wasn’t a bad thing. She stopped hiding away and started showing her kindness to the whole class. She helped others with their lessons and always had a warm smile for everyone. Soon, her classmates stopped noticing her hearing aid and started noticing her kind heart.

Passage 5 One Saturday morning, Jeremy’s mum had a bad cold and she wanted to stay in bed. “How can I help her?” Jeremy thought to himself. Then he got a good idea. Mum did the laundry on Saturdays. “Why don’t I wash my own clothes this week?” He ran to his room to get his clothes. He put them into the washing machine. Finally, he closed the door and pressed the big button “START”. After the washing was done, Jeremy took out the clothes. Everything seemed clean, and he felt very happy. Then he took a pink T-shirt out of the washing machine. Jeremy stopped. “________ I don’t have a pink T-shirt,” Jeremy said to himself. He reached into the washer to take out more clothes. There were more pink clothes! What happened? The last thing was a bright red sock. When he picked it up, the sock turned his hand red. “The sock turned all of my white clothes pink,” Jeremy thought. The next day, Jeremy wore his new pink T-shirt to breakfast. “Where did you get that T-shirt?” Mum asked. “It looks nice.” Jeremy smiled, “I made it yesterday when I washed the clothes.” 1．Why did Jeremy help with the housework?

My name is Li Hua. I’m 14 years old and I’m a student in Grade 8 at No. 3 Middle School. This is me—a tall boy with short black hair and two big, bright eyes. I wear a pair of black glasses because I love reading books after school. Whether it’s storybooks, science books or picture books, I can sit quietly and read for hours. My bookshelf at home is full of books, and I often share interesting stories with my classmates. I’m a friendly and helpful boy. Whenever my classmates have trouble with their homework, I’m always happy to help them. My best friend is Wang Tao, who sits next to me in class. We have known each other since primary school. On weekends, we often go to the park to play basketball together—it’s my favorite sport. Playing basketball not only makes me strong but also teaches me how to work with others. Besides playing basketball, I also like drawing very much. I usually draw pictures of small animals like cats and dogs, or beautiful plants in the park. My art teacher often praises my drawings for being lively and colorful, which makes me more interested in drawing. At home, I’m a good boy too. After school, I always help my mom clean the room and wash the dishes. Every evening, my dad and I like to talk about my school life. He often tells me interesting stories about his childhood, and I love listening to them very much. My family is warm and happy, and I feel lucky to live with my parents. When I grow up, I want to be an art teacher. I hope to teach children how to draw beautiful pictures and help them find joy in art. This is me—Li Hua, a boy who loves reading, drawing and playing basketball. I’m simple and happy, and I always try my best to be kind to others. 1．How old is Li Hua? A．12. B．14. C．16.

Passage 7 Friendship between animals sometimes seems stronger than that between men. In France, a man had to move to a new job two hundred kilometers away. He had a dog and a cat, and he loved them both. But he thought that the cat would like to stay in the same house with new owners. So he moved and took only the dog. About three weeks later, the dog was suddenly lost. For several days, the man looked for his dog, but didn’t find him. Then, seven weeks later, the dog came back but he was not alone. By his side was the cat. They were tired and hungry after their long trip. And they never left each other again. Another story is about goldfish. We usually think fish are cold-hearted, but sometimes we may be wrong. A friend had to work in another country. So I took her pet goldfish and put it in a bowl with mine. They two lived together for six months. When the friend came back, she took her fish home. Then, I found my goldfish was acting strangely, hitting against the side of the bowl. The next morning, he died. Later that day, my friend phoned to say that her goldfish was also dead. I believe they died of sadness. 1．The Frenchman left the cat in the old house because________.

They think it is very exciting and has more fun, as they can change destinations or activities at any time. But in fact, it is not good. Making vacation plans is very important. First, a vacation plan can make sure that everything goes well. If you visit a place but you don’t book a hotel, you may have no place to stay at night. Second, you have lots of things to take with you for a vacation. You need to plan what things you have to buy and what things you need to put in bags. For example, when you arrive at the airport, you forget to bring your ID card! You may be late for the plane. Third, making a vacation plan can help you save a lot of money. No one wants to spend more money than he or she wants to. If you use the Internet before you go on a vacation, you may find some cheap plane tickets and hotel rooms. Next time when you go on a vacation, try to write down some plans. They can help you have more fun in your vacation. 1．According to the writer, what may it be like if you take a trip with no plans?

They say they are busy with their lessons every day. After long hours at school, they just want to relax. Their parents should take care of housework, so they needn’t spend time on it. What’s more, when they grow up, they have to do it by themselves. So there is no need to spend time on it now. However, many other students have different opinions. They believe doing housework is a good way to learn life skills. When they help clean rooms, take out the rubbish, wash dishes or water plants, they learn to be responsible for their family. It also helps them understand their parents’ hard work. They know it’s everyone’s job to keep the room clean and tidy. In my opinion, we should share some housework. Anyway, it does not take much time. It is not only good for our body but also improves our relationship with family. We can start with small easy jobs at home. 1．What is the main topic of the passage? A．How to get good grades at school B．Whether students should do housework C．Different kinds of housework D．How to get on with parents 2．Why do some students refuse to do housework?

They teach their children to do chores by themselves early. What are chores? Chores are things we need to do every day, like washing the dishes and sweeping the floor. Here are some advantages that helping out with chores will bring to children. Doing chores teaches children life skills. Children will need to do many hard things by themselves one day, so they should learn more life skills as early as possible. Doing chores like cooking, feeding pets and cleaning the house can help them become more independent and teach them how to solve problems by themselves. Doing chores helps children learn to respect others. If children are asked to clean up the house, they may know better about the mess they make. And they will respect others’ work more. Doing chores helps children be better at making plans and organizing their time. There are a lot of things to do every day, and it’s hard to fit them all in. Children need to do their homework, do housework and make friends. Learning to do these well helps them know what the most important thing is and how to organize their time well. 1．How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage in Paragraph 1? A．By asking questions. B．By comparing ideas. C．By telling stories. D．By describing experiences. 2．What are chores according to the passage? A．School subjects. B．Games that children play. C．Things to do every day. D．Activities for adults only. 3．What does the underlined word “independent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．有条理的 B．独立的 C．愉悦的 D．有礼貌的 4．Which is the right structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1…) A．①--②③④ B．①--②③--④ C．①--②--③④ D．①②--③--④ 5．What does the writer want to tell us? A．To teach children how to do chores. B．To show why kids should respect others. C．To teach parents how to make plans for kids. D．To show parents how chores are good for kids. Passage 4 Nowadays, more and more people like to keep pets. Keeping pets has many advantages. First, pets can be good friends. When people feel lonely, pets can stay with them and make them feel less sad. For example, many old people live alone. Their children work in other cities, so they often feel lonely. A small dog or a cat can be their good companion. The old people can talk to the pets, take them for a walk and feed them. This makes their life more colorful. Second, keeping pets can help people stay healthy. Taking pets for a walk every day is a kind of exercise. It can help people move their bodies and breathe fresh air. This is good for their heart and lungs. Some studies show that people who keep pets are less likely to get sick than those who don’t. Third, keeping pets can teach children responsibility. When a family has a pet, children can help take care of it. They can feed the pet, clean the pet’s house and take it for a walk. By doing these things, children learn to be responsible. They know that they have to look after another living thing, and they can’t give up easily. However, keeping pets also has some problems. For example, pets may make the house dirty. They may shed hair on the sofa and the floor. Some pets may even bite people if they are not trained well. Also, keeping pets costs money. People need to buy food, toys and medicine for their pets. But overall, the advantages of keeping pets are more than the disadvantages. If people are ready to take good care of pets, keeping pets can be a wonderful experience. 1．What is the first advantage of keeping pets mentioned in the passage? A．Pets can help people stay healthy. B．Pets can be good friends. C．Pets can teach children responsibility. D．Pets can make the house lively. 2．Why do old people like keeping pets? A．Because pets can help them do housework.

A．Pets can help people clean the house. B．Taking pets for a walk is a kind of exercise. C．Pets can cook for people. D．Pets can help people sleep better. 4．What problem does keeping pets have? A．Pets can make people feel lonely. B．Pets can help children be responsible. C．Pets may make the house dirty. D．Pets can help people save money. 5．What does the writer think of keeping pets? A．The advantages are more than the disadvantages. B．The disadvantages are more than the advantages. C．Keeping pets is terrible. D．Keeping pets is difficult. Passage 5 For many years, people have wanted to find out whether we are the only living things in the universe. Some scientists believe that there must be life on other planets because the universe is large. However, finding life on other planets is challenging because planets need a very special environment for life to exist. In the end, while direct evidence (直接证据) of life on other planets has not been found, there are findings that show the possibility of the environment that could support life. Life needs very special and important conditions, such as water, the right temperature and oxygen. The earth has the perfect conditions for life, and it is very impossible that another planet has the same environment as our earth. What’s more, scientists believe that we don’t have enough facts to prove if there is life on other planets. They say, “It doesn’t mean that life exists there just because conditions on other planets are similar to those on earth.” For me, although the universe is very big, a planet with life needs very special conditions. The earth has the right conditions for life. I don’t think that any other planets could have the same conditions as the earth. So I do not believe that there is life on other planets. 1．Why do scientists believe it is challenging to find life on other planets? A．Because other planets are too far from the earth. B．Because there are too many planets to search for. C．Because space travel technology is not developed enough. D．Because planets need a special environment for life to exist. 2．What is one of the important things for life according to the text? A．Light. B．Space. C．Water. D．Food. 3．How does the writer start Paragraph 3? A．By showing an idea. B．By asking a question. C．By telling a story. D．By listing a number. 4．What does the writer think of the possibility of life on other planets? A．Hopeful. B．Sad. C．Thankful. D．Negative. 5．What’s the text? A．A poem. B．A report. C．A story. D．A diary. Passage 6 There are many things we can learn from nature. For example, the bamboo tree seems to have no changes for the first four years, but in the fifth year, the bamboo tree grows to 80 feet tall in just six weeks! What does it tell us? Success doesn’t come right away. As the saying goes, “Rome was not built in a day.” Do you exercise for one day and expect to lose all the fat in your body? Not at all! You don’t expect that, right? So give your goals and dreams more time. Work on them step by step and it takes time to achieve them. Success needs a strong foundation. The bamboo tree could never grow to 80 feet tall if it did not grow its root deep into the ground in the first few years. Spend time building a strong foundation. This is very important if your goals and dreams are too big. Success is about your keeping on. Without daily watering, nurturing and giving enough sunshine to the bamboo tree, it can never grow. It will never experience full growth, and you may even kill the bamboo. Some people think about their dreams and work on them in the beginning, but at last they lose patience and never take action for their dreams again. Believe in yourself and your dreams. Another important lesson you must learn from the bamboo tree is that you need to believe in yourself and your dreams. Of course, this does not mean that you should just believe, wait and do nothing about them. At the same time, you should work on them. A lot of people fail to do this when they put in their heart and time but never get to see the results. 1．When does a bamboo tree start growing fast? A．In the first few years. B．In the fifth year. C．In the first six weeks. 2．What’s important if your dreams are too big? A．Learn to give them up. B．Only wait until they come true. C．Spend time building a strong foundation. 3．What does the underlined word “goals” mean in Chinese? A．目标 B．意志 C．财富 4．From the fourth paragraph, we can learn that we need to ________ if we want to succeed. A．believe in ourselves B．have a strong foundation C．keep on trying 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Introduction of the Bamboo Tree B．Lessons from the Bamboo Tree C．Growth of the Bamboo Tree Passage 7 Cooking is never just about preparing something to eat. It’s a special way to bring people closer together. This is something I’ve felt many times, especially with my family. Every weekend, my mum and I often cook together. When we are washing vegetables or cutting vegetables, we talk about lots of things. These little talks make us closer, and the food tastes even more delicious because we make it with love. Friends can also get closer through cooking. Last Sunday, I had a small party at home. My best friend Lily came early to help me make cookies. We followed a simple recipe: mixing flour, sugar and butter, then putting the dough in the oven. We laughed a lot when some cookies turned a little burnt, but we still enjoyed eating them. That day, we made happy memories together. Cooking also helps us understand different cultures. My grandma sometimes makes pumpkin pie, a dish from Western countries. She told me she learned it from a friend long ago. When we eat the pie, she tells me how people in other places make nice food to celebrate festivals. This makes me want to know more about other cultures and helps me respect them more. Besides, cooking needs teamwork. If you’re making a big meal with others, you have to share jobs. Someone washes vegetables, someone cooks meat and others do other things. You need to make sure everything is ready on time. All these show that cooking is a wonderful activity. Whether it’s at home with family or at school with classmates, cooking connects people in the warmest way. 1．Who does the writer often cook with on weekends? A．Her father. B．Her best friend. C．Her mother. D．Her grandma. 2．When did the writer have a small party at home? A．Last Wednesday. B．Last Friday. C．Last Saturday. D．Last Sunday. 3．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The burnt cookies. B．The new recipes. C．The happy memories. D．The vegetables. 4．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．Cooking is a special way to bring family closer together. B．Cooking helps us understand different cultures. C．Friends can also get closer through cooking. D．Cooking needs teamwork. 5．In which part of the magazine could we read the passage? A．Story Time. B．History World. C．Sports People. D．Happy Life. Passage 8 What makes a house become a real home? Many people only connect home with big rooms, beautiful furniture or delicious food. However, language experts and psychologists share the same opinion: the heart of home lies in small shared moments and willing help between family members. First, polite communication builds a gentle family atmosphere. At home, we often need others’ help with daily chores. Instead of giving orders directly, using “Could you please…” or “Can I…” makes requests much softer. For example, if you want your brother to pass you the cleaning cloth, “Could you pass me the cloth?” sounds far warmer than “Give me the cloth right now.” Good communication avoids small arguments and keeps family peace. Second, shared housework creates a sense of belonging. If all cleaning, cooking and tidying work falls on parents, teenagers will hardly feel connected to the house. When a student takes turns to take out rubbish, hang up clothes or water plants, he starts to take responsibility for the living space. He will care more about every small corner because he has put his own effort into it. Third, staying together and caring for each other carries the true meaning of home. On holidays, many families travel to faraway scenic spots, but some choose to stay at home. They clean the flat together, decorate walls with family photos and cook simple meals side by side. These quiet, slow moments leave deeper warm memories than any long-distance trip. A famous old saying goes, “East or west, home is best.” It does not praise big houses or expensive decorations. It praises the love, polite talk and shared labor inside every family. No matter how simple your flat is, as long as everyone treats each other gently and shares housework, it will be your sweetest home. 1．What do experts think is the core of a real home? A．Big bright rooms and expensive furniture. B．Delicious home-cooked food every day. C．Small warm shared moments and mutual help. D．Beautiful decorations on walls and balconies. 2．What is the advantage of using “Could you please…” to make requests? A．It helps students finish housework faster. B．It makes communication softer and avoids quarrels. C．It lets parents agree to all teenagers’ requirements. D．It teaches teenagers different kinds of housework skills. 3．Why does shared housework bring people a sense of belonging? A．Teenagers can get money as rewards from parents. B．Students can show off their cleaning skills to relatives. C．People will take responsibility and care more about their living space. D．Families can save money on hiring cleaning workers. 4．What kind of holiday moments leave deeper warm memories? A．Traveling to famous faraway mountains and beaches. B．Staying home to clean, decorate and cook together. C．Playing computer games alone in the bedroom all day. D．Visiting shopping malls and buying lots of new things. 5．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To explain what truly makes a house a sweet home. B．To teach teenagers all kinds of useful housework skills. C．To introduce polite English sentence structures for daily use. D．To compare traveling holidays and stay-at-home holidays. 语篇类型四 说明文 Passage 1 What do you usually do on a vacation? Do you know glamping (豪华露营)? It is a new way of camping. Traditional camping often lets people sleep in simple tents, but glamping offers comfortable beds and chairs, bathrooms, kitchens and other things to people. 27-year-old Yoga Song is a glamping lover. In April 2021, Song took her first glamping trip in Zhongwei, Ningxia. Zhongwei has many scenic areas, such as the Yellow River, parts of the Great Wall and old villages. There are also many good hotels in the city. But when Song got there, she decided to try something different-glamping. Song’s special glamping tent was just 10 metres away from the Yellow River. Cows and sheep came by her tent from time to time. At night, Song could see the sky filled with stars. It was quiet and beautiful. And inside the tent, Song could sleep well. She was so happy. After the trip to Zhongwei, Song decided to take more glamping trips in China.“Some of my friends can just go camping in the mountains with only a backpack,” Song said. “That is too hard for me. I want to get close to nature, but I can’t give up the comfortable life.” For many young people, glamping is just the right activity for vacations. They can enjoy the fresh air and comfortable living conditions. Maybe that’s why glamping is so popular among young people. 1．What can we learn about glamping from the passage? A．It is an old way of camping. B．People sleep in simple tents in glamping. C．Glamping provides people with comfortable beds and bathrooms. D．Glamping has no kitchens for people. 2．What does the underlined word “offers”mean? A．Cares. B．Sells. C．Buys. D．Gives. 3．What can we know about Song’s first glamping trip?

D．Her glamping tent was far away from the Yellow River. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Beautiful Nature B．A Modern Way for Vacations C．The Trip to Zhongwei D．Comfortable Living Conditions 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． Passage 2 What is bamboo? Is it a tall, thin tree or a kind of grass? To many people’s surprise, it is a fast-growing kind of grass! Bamboo grows naturally in Africa, Asia, America and Australia. Bamboo has been used for thousands of years and in many countries. China, one of the oldest and largest producers of bamboo, has been making use of it for more than 5,000 years. In ancient times, Chinese people used it for things like clothes, houses and boats. One of the world’s oldest water pipes was made from bamboo too. Chinese people loved the grass so much that they wrote many poems about it. In India, bamboo was important for traditional arts and musical instruments. In Africa, people once used bamboo for buildings, food and even medicine. Over time, the material has become more and more popular. Even today, new uses are still being discovered and developed. As people search for a material that is good for the environment, bamboo often tops the list. It gives off about 35% more O2 than a tree of similar size. It takes in a lot of CO2 as well. Also, bamboo grows very fast — some can grow over a metre a day! This makes it a good renewable resource (可再生资源). As a result, bamboo seems like a perfect choice for everything. It’s an excellent building material. It can be used to make soft and fast-drying clothes. It’s strong enough to make beautiful chairs, beds and tables. It can be used for kitchen products that help stop bacteria (细菌). It seems as if its uses are never-ending. It will help us live in a better, greener world. 1．Why did the writer ask questions at the beginning of the passage? A．To explain people’s thoughts. B．To catch the readers’ attention.

A．①→②→③→(④⑤) B．①→(②③)→④→⑤ C．①→②→(③④⑤) D．①→②→(③④)→⑤ 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．A helpful kind of grass B．Types of bamboo and their uses C．How to make the best use of bamboo D．Why is bamboo a grass and not a tree? Passage 3 Long ago, when the God first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept moving. Then the God pulled the tree out and planted it upside down to make sure it stays in one place. What’s the tree? It’s the Baobab tree, also called monkey bread tree, bottle tree or others. The Baobab tree is a strange looking tree that grows in Africa and Australia. Just like its name “Bottle Tree”, it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as a 16-floor building. During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks (树干) sticking up in the air. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later, the flowers can turn into fruit. Baobab is called “the tree of life”, because they can live longer than 1000 years old. In the dry land, the baobab can pull in and hold 1,000 gallons of water. Thirsty people can drink the water stored in the tree. The fruit, monkey bread, is good to eat. Baobab leaves are a kind of medicine. People can use the bark (树皮) to make paper or cloth. When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is such a useful tree; some people could hardly live without it. 1．How does the writer begin the text? A．By asking a question. B．By showing a story. C．By singing a song. D．By giving an example. 2．Which of the following pictures is the baobab in the dry season? A． B． C． D． 3．Which word is close to the meaning of the underlined word “hollow” in Paragraph 3?

A．God and Baobab B．What is Baobab Like in a Year C．Baobab’s Trunk, Leaves and Fruit D．A Special Tree-Baobab Passage 4 Many people like going on vacation. It’s a good chance to relax, visit new places and see new things. But while planning a trip, you have to decide whether you want to travel with family or friends, or just alone. Traveling with family can be very cheap or even free if parents pay. However, there may be many arguments. One friend told me that both she and her sister were in tears after arguing on vacation. In my family, Dad always wants to go to a museum. Mom would like to stay in the hotel. My sister likes to buy clothes. As for me, the coffee shop is a great place. Traveling with friends would be fun. When you are traveling with friends, you can do more different things than you do with family. It is a way to strengthen a friendship. You can learn more about your friends. You can become closer to each other. But money always plays an important role if you go on vacation with your friends. It is normal for you to have different budgets. What’s more, there is also a lot of compromise (妥协) while you’re planning where to stay and what to eat. When it comes to choosing whom to travel with, there is another choice: traveling alone. Traveling alone has advantages. For example, you do not have to compromise on your budget. You can choose what you want to do, and it’s easier for you to make new friends. ________ Sometimes you may feel lonely. And, when you want to go to the toilet at the bus station or airport, there is nobody to look after your things. 1．What decision do you have to make while you are planning a trip? A．Where to stay. B．What to eat. C．How to go. D．Who to go with. 2．What does the writer’s sister usually like to do during her trip? A．To enjoy a cup of coffee. B．To stay in the hotel. C．To go shopping.

A．Traveling alone is not always good. B．Here are some tips for traveling alone. C．If you travel alone, you have to take care of yourself. D．Children are too young to travel alone. Passage 5 Do you know why you get angry so easily, but your friend smiles all the time? It’s because you have different personalities. Then what is personality? It’s about how people think, behave and react to everything around them. So what makes people think and behave in certain ways? Part of the reason is that people are born like this. A baby gets his or her genes and blood type before birth. These may help decide what the baby will be like. But one’s personality doesn’t stop here. Family life, school learning and life experiences can also make you the person you are. But this doesn’t mean you can’t change your personality. You can always try to make yourself better. Don’t get too worried if you don’t have a good personality. ▲ There are some good ways to start making changes. For example, if you don’t know how to make friends, find out why. Is it because you’re too shy? If so, tell yourself to smile at people. Start talking to people kindly. But don’t give yourself a hard time about it all. After all, it’s not easy to change lifelong habits in one night. Just keep trying, one day you will see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new you! 1．Personality is about the following except ________.

A．Facts about genes B．Be a new you C．Personality decides life D．Personality is important Passage 6 Want to grow fresh vegetables and fruits right in your apartment? Sichuan Zongtang Technology in Chengdu has created a smart indoor planting pod (舱) that makes this easy and fun. The 1.5-metre-tall planting pod takes up only 0.25m² off loor space but can grow up to 30 kinds of plants at a time. It has three key parts: a planting zone, a light column (柱) and a water tank. They work together to give plants light, water and nutrients (养分). Unlike traditional farming, the pod helps plants grow faster and stay healthy without harmful chemicals (有害化学物质). Users just put in seedlings (幼苗) and set the light mode, and it will do the rest. Liu Shahe, a user, has successfully grown sunflowers, purple-leaf lettuce, tomatoes, and other  plants. She says the easy-to-use pod works so well that it has made her gardening dream come true. So far, these pods have been sold to many countries like Vietnam and Malaysia. In the future, smart indoor gardens will become more popular. They bring nature into our homes and let us enjoy fresh, healthy food all year round. What’s more, home gardening can be a fun and relaxing hobby for families. 1．What’s  special about the smart indoor planting pod? A．It is cheap and easy to use. B．It needs no light or chemicals for plant growth. C．It takes up little space but grows many kinds of plants. D．It does all the planting work. 2．The underlined word “it” in Para.2 refers to “ ”.

D．Uncertain. 5．Which would be the best theme picture of the passage? A．B． C． D． Passage 7 “AI grandchildren” become popular with grandparents. When family members come home, they find their grandparents watching videos of these babies happily. One video shows a one-year-old child easily lifting a pig with his hands and running to his grandparents’ house. Another video shows a baby picking tomatoes in a garden and then making dinner for the family. The old people think of the AI babies as real ones. When seeing an AI baby playing with chickens in the yard, these grandparents feel close to them. They keep saying, “Be careful! Your eyes may get hurt by the chickens.” Younger family members can know that the babies in the videos are not real, but the grandparents are still very interested in them. When young family members tell them that the babies are not real, many old people don’t like hearing this. They get mad and say, “No! They are so cute! You are wrong!” This only makes the old sad. 　▲　 A person online said, “These grandparents want someone to be with them. These AI grandchildren can bring them joy.” However, this can also cause problems. The grandparents may love these AI babies too much. They spend a lot of time watching them. Slowly, they may have less to talk about with their real family. The real grandchildren may feel sad. This could make the family members not as close as before. 1．How does the writer show “AI grandchildren” are popular in Paragraph 1? A．By telling a story. B．By showing the differences. C．By listing numbers. D．By showing examples. 2．Why do some old people enjoy watching these AI baby videos? A．Because the babies can lift a pig. B．Because the babies can pick tomatoes.

C．AI grandchildren become popular but may cause problems. D．Family members should spend more time with grandparents. Passage 8 For many years, wildlife protection has been a race against time. Elephants are killed for their ivory. Tigers are hunted for their skins. Forests are cut down, and climate change makes life even harder for animals. Poaching remains a serious problem. Rangers work day and night, but they cannot be everywhere. Now, artificial intelligence, or AI, is giving them a powerful new pair of eyes and ears. AI is a kind of computer program that can learn from data. When it is trained with thousands of pictures or sounds, it can recognize patterns and make decisions. In wildlife protection, AI is used in three main ways. First, AI helps stop poaching. In some African national parks, special cameras are fixed to trees. These cameras are connected to AI software. The software can tell the difference between a human, a car and an animal. If it sees a person carrying a gun at night, it sends a warning to rangers’ phones within seconds. In one park, this system helped cut illegal hunting by nearly 30 percent in a year. Second, AI helps scientists track animals. Drones with AI can fly over large areas and take photos. The AI then studies the patterns on a tiger’s skin, an elephant’s ear, or a whale’s tail. These patterns are as unique as a human fingerprint. With this method, scientists can identify each animal and follow its movement without disturbing it. Third, AI can analyze huge amounts of data. For example, it listens to recordings from the forest and picks out the calls of different birds and frogs. This helps scientists know which species are still there. AI can also predict where poachers may go next, so rangers can plan better patrol routes. However, AI is not a magic solution. It costs a lot of money to buy and maintain. Many protected areas are far from cities and have poor internet. AI can also make mistakes, such as mistaking a farmer for a poacher. And some people worry that AI might take away jobs or be used to watch people unfairly. In the end, AI is a powerful tool, but it cannot replace human effort. Rangers still need to patrol, governments need to make strong laws, and local communities need to be involved. Only when technology and people work together can wildlife have a safer future. 1．What can AI cameras do in national parks? A．They can feed wild animals. B．They can tell humans from animals and warn rangers. C．They can catch poachers by themselves. D．They can change the weather in the forest. 2．The underlined word “Poaching” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________. A．protecting wild animals B．studying animal calls C．illegal hunting D．planting trees 3．Why does the author compare animal patterns to “a human fingerprint”? A．To show that animals have fingers.

He agreed to let us search for Larry a little longer before going home. Imani had a clever idea. She said, ’I think it might be a good idea to try putting ourselves in Larry’s shoes.’ Miguel and I laughed at the thought of wearing small lizard shoes, but Imani said that she meant we should think like a lizard to find out where Larry went. Miguel suggested that if he were Larry, he would be hungry. So we left a trail of (一连串) food leading to Larry’s house. I added that if I were Larry, I would probably be feeling cold, so we made a comfortable nest outside his house to invite him back. Imani then suggested that since Larry loved it when we sang to him, a song might help him find his way home. We left the food trail, made a comfortable nest and made up a song. While Imani was singing the last part of the song, she looked up and saw Larry sticking his head out of an air vent (通气孔). We were amazed that we hadn’t thought to look up before! We were so happy to see that Larry was safe. Mr Jones reached Larry, put him back in his house, and even got a new cover to make sure he wouldn’t disappear again. We learnt a valuable lesson that day. Sometimes, the solution to a problem is right in front of us, and all we need to do is to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes. 1．Which of the following words best describes Imani? A．Smart. B．Quiet.

After she recovered (康复), she needed to wear a hearing aid (助听器) to help her hear. When it was time to start primary school, Candy was very worried. She thought the hearing aid behind her ear made her look different from others. She feared her classmates would laugh at her and that she would never make a true friend. Her first friend was Ginny. Ginny was kind, but she made Candy feel very uncomfortable. She spoke in a loud, slow voice, as if Candy couldn’t understand her. Even worse, she introduced Candy to everyone as her “deaf friend”. This made Candy feel like her hearing loss was the only thing people noticed about her. Luckily, Candy later met Martha, and everything began to feel different. Martha was a true friend. She didn’t care about the hearing aid and treated Candy just like everyone else. Together, they spent hours playing fun games and sharing secrets. With Martha’s support, Candy’s confidence began to grow. Slowly, Candy realized that being different wasn’t a bad thing. She stopped hiding away and started showing her kindness to the whole class. She helped others with their lessons and always had a warm smile for everyone. Soon, her classmates stopped noticing her hearing aid and started noticing her kind heart. They realized that Candy was a wonderful girl who happened to wear a hearing aid. In the end, Candy fully accepted herself, and so did her classmates. 1．Why was Candy worried before going to primary school? A．She didn’t finish her summer homework.

A．It tells us how to choose good friends at school. B．It shows how Candy learned to accept herself with a hearing aid. C．It introduces different kinds of hearing aids for kids. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文讲述了患病后佩戴助听器的女孩Candy在小学期间因朋友Martha的帮助，从担心被嘲笑到最终接纳自我并获得同学认可的故事。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“She feared her classmates would laugh at her and that she would never make a true friend.”可知她担心同学嘲笑她的助听器，从而感到担忧。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Ginny was kind, but she made Candy feel very uncomfortable.”可知Ginny的行为让Candy感到不舒服。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“She didn’t care about the hearing aid and treated Candy just like everyone else.”可知Martha像对待其他孩子一样对待Candy并给予支持。 4．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Soon, her classmates stopped noticing her hearing aid and started noticing her kind heart.”可推知画线句意为同学们意识到助听器不影响她是个好女孩，重点在于她本身很棒。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段“In the end, Candy fully accepted herself, and so did her classmates.”可推知文章核心在于Candy如何学会接纳佩戴助听器的自己。 Passage 5 One Saturday morning, Jeremy’s mum had a bad cold and she wanted to stay in bed. “How can I help her?” Jeremy thought to himself. Then he got a good idea. Mum did the laundry on Saturdays. “Why don’t I wash my own clothes this week?” He ran to his room to get his clothes. He put them into the washing machine. Finally, he closed the door and pressed the big button “START”. After the washing was done, Jeremy took out the clothes. Everything seemed clean, and he felt very happy. Then he took a pink T-shirt out of the washing machine. Jeremy stopped. “________ I don’t have a pink T-shirt,” Jeremy said to himself. He reached into the washer to take out more clothes. There were more pink clothes! What happened? The last thing was a bright red sock. When he picked it up, the sock turned his hand red. “The sock turned all of my white clothes pink,” Jeremy thought. The next day, Jeremy wore his new pink T-shirt to breakfast. “Where did you get that T-shirt?” Mum asked. “It looks nice.” Jeremy smiled, “I made it yesterday when I washed the clothes.” 1．Why did Jeremy help with the housework?

In France, a man had to move to a new job two hundred kilometers away. He had a dog and a cat, and he loved them both. But he thought that the cat would like to stay in the same house with new owners. So he moved and took only the dog. About three weeks later, the dog was suddenly lost. For several days, the man looked for his dog, but didn’t find him. Then, seven weeks later, the dog came back but he was not alone. By his side was the cat. They were tired and hungry after their long trip. And they never left each other again. Another story is about goldfish. We usually think fish are cold-hearted, but sometimes we may be wrong. A friend had to work in another country. So I took her pet goldfish and put it in a bowl with mine. They two lived together for six months. When the friend came back, she took her fish home. Then, I found my goldfish was acting strangely, hitting against the side of the bowl. The next morning, he died. Later that day, my friend phoned to say that her goldfish was also dead.

Different students have different ideas. Some students think schoolwork is the only important task for them. They say they are busy with their lessons every day.

So there is no need to spend time on it now. However, many other students have different opinions. They believe doing housework is a good way to learn life skills. When they help clean rooms, take out the rubbish, wash dishes or water plants, they learn to be responsible for their family. It also helps them understand their parents’ hard work. They know it’s everyone’s job to keep the room clean and tidy. In my opinion, we should share some housework. Anyway, it does not take much time.

However, some parents think children should learn more useful things. They teach their children to do chores by themselves early. What are chores? Chores are things we need to do every day, like washing the dishes and sweeping the floor. Here are some advantages that helping out with chores will bring to children. Doing chores teaches children life skills. Children will need to do many hard things by themselves one day, so they should learn more life skills as early as possible. Doing chores like cooking, feeding pets and cleaning the house can help them become more independent and teach them how to solve problems by themselves. Doing chores helps children learn to respect others. If children are asked to clean up the house, they may know better about the mess they make. And they will respect others’ work more. Doing chores helps children be better at making plans and organizing their time. There are a lot of things to do every day, and it’s hard to fit them all in. Children need to do their homework, do housework and make friends. Learning to do these well helps them know what the most important thing is and how to organize their time well. 1．How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage in Paragraph 1? A．By asking questions. B．By comparing ideas. C．By telling stories. D．By describing experiences. 2．What are chores according to the passage? A．School subjects. B．Games that children play. C．Things to do every day. D．Activities for adults only. 3．What does the underlined word “independent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．有条理的 B．独立的 C．愉悦的 D．有礼貌的 4．Which is the right structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1…) A．①--②③④ B．①--②③--④ C．①--②--③④ D．①②--③--④ 5．What does the writer want to tell us? A．To teach children how to do chores. B．To show why kids should respect others. C．To teach parents how to make plans for kids. D．To show parents how chores are good for kids. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍做家务能带给孩子的几点好处，阐述做家务对孩子有益。 【详解】 1．根据第一段“Some parents think children should play a lot in their childhood. However, some parents think children should learn more useful things.”可知，第一段对比两种家长不同的观点，通过比较看法引出文章主题。 2．根据第一段“Chores are things we need to do every day, like washing the dishes and sweeping the floor.”可知，家务是我们每天需要做的事情。 3．根据第二段“so they should learn more life skills as early as possible...teach them how to solve problems by themselves.”可知，independent意为独立的。 4．根据全文段落内容可知，第一段引出话题，第二、三、四段分别介绍做家务的好处，文章结构为①—②③④。 5．根据全文内容可知，文章介绍做家务给孩子带来的各项好处，想告诉家长做家务对孩子有益。 Passage 4 Nowadays, more and more people like to keep pets. Keeping pets has many advantages. First, pets can be good friends. When people feel lonely, pets can stay with them and make them feel less sad. For example, many old people live alone. Their children work in other cities, so they often feel lonely. A small dog or a cat can be their good companion. The old people can talk to the pets, take them for a walk and feed them. This makes their life more colorful. Second, keeping pets can help people stay healthy. Taking pets for a walk every day is a kind of exercise. It can help people move their bodies and breathe fresh air. This is good for their heart and lungs. Some studies show that people who keep pets are less likely to get sick than those who don’t. Third, keeping pets can teach children responsibility. When a family has a pet, children can help take care of it. They can feed the pet, clean the pet’s house and take it for a walk. By doing these things, children learn to be responsible. They know that they have to look after another living thing, and they can’t give up easily. However, keeping pets also has some problems. For example, pets may make the house dirty. They may shed hair on the sofa and the floor. Some pets may even bite people if they are not trained well. Also, keeping pets costs money. People need to buy food, toys and medicine for their pets. But overall, the advantages of keeping pets are more than the disadvantages. If people are ready to take good care of pets, keeping pets can be a wonderful experience. 1．What is the first advantage of keeping pets mentioned in the passage? A．Pets can help people stay healthy. B．Pets can be good friends. C．Pets can teach children responsibility. D．Pets can make the house lively. 2．Why do old people like keeping pets? A．Because pets can help them do housework. B．Because pets can make their life more colorful. C．Because pets are cheap to keep. D．Because pets can help them with their work. 3．How can keeping pets help people stay healthy? A．Pets can help people clean the house. B．Taking pets for a walk is a kind of exercise. C．Pets can cook for people. D．Pets can help people sleep better. 4．What problem does keeping pets have? A．Pets can make people feel lonely. B．Pets can help children be responsible. C．Pets may make the house dirty. D．Pets can help people save money. 5．What does the writer think of keeping pets? A．The advantages are more than the disadvantages. B．The disadvantages are more than the advantages. C．Keeping pets is terrible. D．Keeping pets is difficult. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文主要讲述饲养宠物的好处与弊端，作者认为养宠物利大于弊。 【详解】 1．第一段第3句指出：First, pets can be good friends，这直接提到养宠物的第一个优点是宠物可以成为好朋友。 2．第一段最后一句表明：This makes their life more colorful，老人养宠物，宠物可以陪伴他们，让生活更加丰富多彩。 3．第二段第2句说明原因：Taking pets for a walk every day is a kind of exercise，每天遛宠物就是一种锻炼，帮助人们保持健康。 4．第四段第2句写道：For example, pets may make the house dirty，举例说明了养宠物存在的问题：宠物可能会把房子弄脏。 5．最后一段第1句表明：But overall, the advantages of keeping pets are more than the disadvantages，说明作者认为养宠物的好处多于坏处。 Passage 5 For many years, people have wanted to find out whether we are the only living things in the universe. Some scientists believe that there must be life on other planets because the universe is large. However, finding life on other planets is challenging because planets need a very special environment for life to exist. In the end, while direct evidence (直接证据) of life on other planets has not been found, there are findings that show the possibility of the environment that could support life. Life needs very special and important conditions, such as water, the right temperature and oxygen. The earth has the perfect conditions for life, and it is very impossible that another planet has the same environment as our earth. What’s more, scientists believe that we don’t have enough facts to prove if there is life on other planets. They say, “It doesn’t mean that life exists there just because conditions on other planets are similar to those on earth.” For me, although the universe is very big, a planet with life needs very special conditions. The earth has the right conditions for life. I don’t think that any other planets could have the same conditions as the earth. So I do not believe that there is life on other planets. 1．Why do scientists believe it is challenging to find life on other planets? A．Because other planets are too far from the earth. B．Because there are too many planets to search for. C．Because space travel technology is not developed enough. D．Because planets need a special environment for life to exist. 2．What is one of the important things for life according to the text? A．Light. B．Space. C．Water. D．Food. 3．How does the writer start Paragraph 3? A．By showing an idea. B．By asking a question. C．By telling a story. D．By listing a number. 4．What does the writer think of the possibility of life on other planets? A．Hopeful. B．Sad. C．Thankful. D．Negative. 5．What’s the text? A．A poem. B．A report. C．A story. D．A diary. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文主要探讨了宇宙中是否存在其他生命的问题。文章介绍了科学家对此的看法，指出寻找外星生命的挑战性在于生命需要非常特殊的环境条件（如水、适宜的温度和氧气）。作者基于地球环境的独特性，表达了不相信其他星球存在生命的观点。 【详解】 1．第一段明确指出：“However, finding life on other planets is challenging because planets need a very special environment for life to exist.”，说明科学家认为寻找外星生命具有挑战性是因为行星需要非常特殊的环境才能维持生命。 2．第二段明确指出：“Life needs very special and important conditions, such as water, the right temperature and oxygen.”，说明水是生命所需的重要条件之一。 3．第三段开头是：“What’s more, scientists believe that we don’t have enough facts to prove if there is life on other planets.”，这是直接陈述科学家的观点或想法，因此是通过展示观点（Showing an idea）来开始段落的。 4．文章最后一段明确写道：“So I do not believe that there is life on other planets.”，说明作者对外星生命存在的可能性持否定态度。 文章结构清晰，先引出话题，接着列举科学事实和观点，最后给出个人结论，语言客观且带有论证性质，符合报告的特征。 Passage 6 There are many things we can learn from nature. For example, the bamboo tree seems to have no changes for the first four years, but in the fifth year, the bamboo tree grows to 80 feet tall in just six weeks! What does it tell us? Success doesn’t come right away. As the saying goes, “Rome was not built in a day.” Do you exercise for one day and expect to lose all the fat in your body? Not at all! You don’t expect that, right? So give your goals and dreams more time. Work on them step by step and it takes time to achieve them. Success needs a strong foundation. The bamboo tree could never grow to 80 feet tall if it did not grow its root deep into the ground in the first few years. Spend time building a strong foundation. This is very important if your goals and dreams are too big. Success is about your keeping on. Without daily watering, nurturing and giving enough sunshine to the bamboo tree, it can never grow. It will never experience full growth, and you may even kill the bamboo. Some people think about their dreams and work on them in the beginning, but at last they lose patience and never take action for their dreams again. Believe in yourself and your dreams. Another important lesson you must learn from the bamboo tree is that you need to believe in yourself and your dreams. Of course, this does not mean that you should just believe, wait and do nothing about them. At the same time, you should work on them. A lot of people fail to do this when they put in their heart and time but never get to see the results. 1．When does a bamboo tree start growing fast? A．In the first few years. B．In the fifth year. C．In the first six weeks. 2．What’s important if your dreams are too big? A．Learn to give them up. B．Only wait until they come true. C．Spend time building a strong foundation. 3．What does the underlined word “goals” mean in Chinese? A．目标 B．意志 C．财富 4．From the fourth paragraph, we can learn that we need to ________ if we want to succeed. A．believe in ourselves B．have a strong foundation C．keep on trying 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Introduction of the Bamboo Tree B．Lessons from the Bamboo Tree C．Growth of the Bamboo Tree 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，以竹子的生长过程为例子，阐述了从竹子身上能够领悟到的四条关于成功的道理：成功不会一蹴而就、成功需要扎实的基础、成功贵在坚持、要相信自己与梦想。 【详解】 1．根据文章第一段“but in the fifth year, the bamboo tree grows to 80 feet tall in just six weeks!”可知，竹子在第五年开始快速生长。 2．根据文章第三段“Spend time building a strong foundation. This is very important if your goals and dreams are too big.”可知，如果梦想远大，花费时间打下坚实基础很重要。 3．根据文章第二段“So give your goals and dreams more time.”，goals与 dreams“梦想”并列，结合语境goals应指奋斗的“目标”。 4．根据第四段首句“Success is about your keeping on.”，以及后文提到的不要失去耐心“lose patience”，可知想要成功需要坚持尝试，对应keep on trying。 5．通读全文可知，文章开篇点题“There are many things we can learn from nature.”，随后以竹子为例阐述了关于成功的道理，核心是竹子带给我们的人生感悟。因此选项B“Lessons from the Bamboo Tree”是最合适的标题。A选项和C选项都只聚焦竹子本身，无法概括全文主旨。 Passage 7 Cooking is never just about preparing something to eat. It’s a special way to bring people closer together. This is something I’ve felt many times, especially with my family. Every weekend, my mum and I often cook together. When we are washing vegetables or cutting vegetables, we talk about lots of things. These little talks make us closer, and the food tastes even more delicious because we make it with love. Friends can also get closer through cooking. Last Sunday, I had a small party at home. My best friend Lily came early to help me make cookies. We followed a simple recipe: mixing flour, sugar and butter, then putting the dough in the oven. We laughed a lot when some cookies turned a little burnt, but we still enjoyed eating them. That day, we made happy memories together. Cooking also helps us understand different cultures. My grandma sometimes makes pumpkin pie, a dish from Western countries. She told me she learned it from a friend long ago. When we eat the pie, she tells me how people in other places make nice food to celebrate festivals. This makes me want to know more about other cultures and helps me respect them more. Besides, cooking needs teamwork. If you’re making a big meal with others, you have to share jobs. Someone washes vegetables, someone cooks meat and others do other things. You need to make sure everything is ready on time. All these show that cooking is a wonderful activity. Whether it’s at home with family or at school with classmates, cooking connects people in the warmest way. 1．Who does the writer often cook with on weekends? A．Her father. B．Her best friend. C．Her mother. D．Her grandma. 2．When did the writer have a small party at home? A．Last Wednesday. B．Last Friday. C．Last Saturday. D．Last Sunday. 3．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The burnt cookies. B．The new recipes. C．The happy memories. D．The vegetables. 4．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．Cooking is a special way to bring family closer together. B．Cooking helps us understand different cultures. C．Friends can also get closer through cooking. D．Cooking needs teamwork. 5．In which part of the magazine could we read the passage? A．Story Time. B．History World. C．Sports People. D．Happy Life. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述做饭不只是制作食物，它能拉近家人、朋友间的距离，帮助了解多元文化，还能培养团队协作，以温暖的方式联结人与人。 【详解】 1．根据文章第一段“Every weekend, my mum and I often cook together.”可知，作者周末经常和妈妈一起做饭。 2．根据文章第二段“Last Sunday, I had a small party at home.”可知，聚会是在上周日举行的。 3．根据文章第二段“We laughed a lot when some cookies turned a little burnt, but we still enjoyed eating them.”可知，当有些饼干烤得有点焦的时候作者他们笑个不停，但他们依然很爱吃这些饼干，因此这里的“them”指代前文提到的“烧焦的饼干”。 4．文章第三段的首句“Cooking also helps us understand different cultures.”是本段的主题句，点明“烹饪能帮助我们了解不同的文化”，后续内容均围绕此展开。 5．通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了烹饪如何拉近人与人之间的距离、帮助理解文化以及体现团队合作，属于生活感悟类文章，最可能出现在杂志的“幸福生活”板块。 Passage 8 What makes a house become a real home? Many people only connect home with big rooms, beautiful furniture or delicious food. However, language experts and psychologists share the same opinion: the heart of home lies in small shared moments and willing help between family members. First, polite communication builds a gentle family atmosphere. At home, we often need others’ help with daily chores. Instead of giving orders directly, using “Could you please…” or “Can I…” makes requests much softer. For example, if you want your brother to pass you the cleaning cloth, “Could you pass me the cloth?” sounds far warmer than “Give me the cloth right now.” Good communication avoids small arguments and keeps family peace. Second, shared housework creates a sense of belonging. If all cleaning, cooking and tidying work falls on parents, teenagers will hardly feel connected to the house. When a student takes turns to take out rubbish, hang up clothes or water plants, he starts to take responsibility for the living space. He will care more about every small corner because he has put his own effort into it. Third, staying together and caring for each other carries the true meaning of home. On holidays, many families travel to faraway scenic spots, but some choose to stay at home. They clean the flat together, decorate walls with family photos and cook simple meals side by side. These quiet, slow moments leave deeper warm memories than any long-distance trip. A famous old saying goes, “East or west, home is best.” It does not praise big houses or expensive decorations. It praises the love, polite talk and shared labor inside every family. No matter how simple your flat is, as long as everyone treats each other gently and shares housework, it will be your sweetest home. 1．What do experts think is the core of a real home? A．Big bright rooms and expensive furniture. B．Delicious home-cooked food every day. C．Small warm shared moments and mutual help. D．Beautiful decorations on walls and balconies. 2．What is the advantage of using “Could you please…” to make requests? A．It helps students finish housework faster. B．It makes communication softer and avoids quarrels. C．It lets parents agree to all teenagers’ requirements. D．It teaches teenagers different kinds of housework skills. 3．Why does shared housework bring people a sense of belonging? A．Teenagers can get money as rewards from parents. B．Students can show off their cleaning skills to relatives. C．People will take responsibility and care more about their living space. D．Families can save money on hiring cleaning workers. 4．What kind of holiday moments leave deeper warm memories? A．Traveling to famous faraway mountains and beaches. B．Staying home to clean, decorate and cook together. C．Playing computer games alone in the bedroom all day. D．Visiting shopping malls and buying lots of new things. 5．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To explain what truly makes a house a sweet home. B．To teach teenagers all kinds of useful housework skills. C．To introduce polite English sentence structures for daily use. D．To compare traveling holidays and stay-at-home holidays. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，探讨房子如何才能成为真正的家，专家认为家的核心是家人之间温馨的共处瞬间与互帮互助，并从礼貌沟通、分担家务、彼此陪伴关怀三个角度展开论述，点明爱意、温和交流与共同劳作才是家的真谛。 【详解】 1．第一段原句“the heart of home lies in small shared moments and willing help between family members”，因此真正的家的核心是温馨的共处瞬间以及彼此互助。 2．第二段写明使用“Could you please…”这类句式会让请求柔和很多，且“Good communication avoids small arguments and keeps family peace”，由此可知使用委婉句式提出请求，能够让沟通更加温和，避免争吵。 3．原文第三段“he starts to take responsibility for the living space. He will care more about every small corner because he has put his own effort into it.”，说明分担家务后人们会主动承担责任，更加在意居住空间。 4．原文第四段写明居家一起打扫、装饰、做饭等安静舒缓的瞬间，比长途旅行留下更深刻温暖的回忆，因此选择居家共同做事这一项。 5．文章开篇抛出问题“What makes a house become a real home?”，全文围绕该问题分论点阐述，结尾总结何为温馨的家，写作目的即为阐释房子成为温馨家园的真正原因。 语篇类型四 说明文 Passage 1 What do you usually do on a vacation? Do you know glamping (豪华露营)? It is a new way of camping. Traditional camping often lets people sleep in simple tents, but glamping offers comfortable beds and chairs, bathrooms, kitchens and other things to people. 27-year-old Yoga Song is a glamping lover. In April 2021, Song took her first glamping trip in Zhongwei, Ningxia. Zhongwei has many scenic areas, such as the Yellow River, parts of the Great Wall and old villages. There are also many good hotels in the city. But when Song got there, she decided to try something different-glamping. Song’s special glamping tent was just 10 metres away from the Yellow River. Cows and sheep came by her tent from time to time. At night, Song could see the sky filled with stars. It was quiet and beautiful. And inside the tent, Song could sleep well. She was so happy. After the trip to Zhongwei, Song decided to take more glamping trips in China.“Some of my friends can just go camping in the mountains with only a backpack,” Song said. “That is too hard for me. I want to get close to nature, but I can’t give up the comfortable life.” For many young people, glamping is just the right activity for vacations. They can enjoy the fresh air and comfortable living conditions. Maybe that’s why glamping is so popular among young people. 1．What can we learn about glamping from the passage?

And inside the tent, Song could sleep well.”可推知，Song的第一次豪华露营之旅中环境安静优美，她睡得很好，符合选项B的描述。 4．最佳标题题。文章围绕“豪华露营”这一新型度假方式展开，介绍其定义、体验感与受欢迎的原因，“A Modern Way for Vacations”（一种现代度假方式）能够概括全文核心内容。 5．篇章结构题。文章第1段总起，介绍豪华露营的定义与核心特点；第2、3、4段分别从旅行背景、旅行体验、喜爱原因三个层面，以Song的经历为例进行分述说明；第5段总结全文，点明豪华露营受年轻人欢迎的原因。全文为总-分-总结构，对应选项D的结构。 Passage 2 What is bamboo? Is it a tall, thin tree or a kind of grass? To many people’s surprise, it is a fast-growing kind of grass! Bamboo grows naturally in Africa, Asia, America and Australia. Bamboo has been used for thousands of years and in many countries. China, one of the oldest and largest producers of bamboo, has been making use of it for more than 5,000 years. In ancient times, Chinese people used it for things like clothes, houses and boats. One of the world’s oldest water pipes was made from bamboo too. Chinese people loved the grass so much that they wrote many poems about it. In India, bamboo was important for traditional arts and musical instruments. In Africa, people once used bamboo for buildings, food and even medicine. Over time, the material has become more and more popular. Even today, new uses are still being discovered and developed. As people search for a material that is good for the environment, bamboo often tops the list. It gives off about 35% more O2 than a tree of similar size. It takes in a lot of CO2 as well. Also, bamboo grows very fast — some can grow over a metre a day! This makes it a good renewable resource (可再生资源). As a result, bamboo seems like a perfect choice for everything. It’s an excellent building material. It can be used to make soft and fast-drying clothes. It’s strong enough to make beautiful chairs, beds and tables. It can be used for kitchen products that help stop bacteria (细菌). It seems as if its uses are never-ending. It will help us live in a better, greener world. 1．Why did the writer ask questions at the beginning of the passage? A．To explain people’s thoughts. B．To catch the readers’ attention. C．To show new research findings. D．To compare different types of bamboo. 2．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The history of growing bamboo in China. B．The cultural meaning of bamboo in China. C．The traditional uses of bamboo in different cultures. D．The growing areas of bamboo in different countries. 3．What does the underlined word “This” refer to in Paragraph 4? A．The fast growth of bamboo. B．The common use of bamboo. C．The ability of bamboo to produce O2. D．The role of bamboo in killing bacteria. 4．What is the structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ...) A．①→②→③→(④⑤) B．①→(②③)→④→⑤ C．①→②→(③④⑤) D．①→②→(③④)→⑤ 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．A helpful kind of grass B．Types of bamboo and their uses C．How to make the best use of bamboo D．Why is bamboo a grass and not a tree? 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了竹子其实是一种生长迅速的草，而不是树，并说明了竹子在历史上的多种用途、环保价值以及现代生活中的广泛应用。 【详解】 1．推理判断题。第一段开头提出“What is bamboo? Is it a tall, thin tree or a kind of grass?”这些问题，目的是引起读者兴趣，让读者带着疑问继续阅读，因此是为了吸引读者注意。 2．主旨大意题。第二段主要介绍竹子在古代不同国家和文化中的传统用途，如中国用竹子做衣服、房屋、船和最早的水管，印度用于传统艺术和乐器，非洲用于建筑、食物甚至药物，因此该段主要讲竹子在各种文化中的传统用途。 3．词句猜测题。第四段提到“bamboo grows very fast — some can grow over a metre a day! This makes it a good renewable resource.”这里的“This”指代前一句所说的竹子生长非常快这一特点，因此答案是竹子的快速生长。 4．篇章结构题。文章第一段引出竹子是草并介绍其生长地区；第二、三段讲竹子的传统用途及越来越受欢迎；第四段讲竹子的环保优势和可再生特点；第五段总结竹子的多种现代用途及美好前景。因此结构为①→（②③）→④→⑤。 5．最佳标题题。文章主要说明竹子是一种用途广泛、环保且可再生的草，并介绍其历史、特点和现代用途，因此“A helpful kind of grass”最能概括全文内容。 Passage 3 Long ago, when the God first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept moving. Then the God pulled the tree out and planted it upside down to make sure it stays in one place. What’s the tree? It’s the Baobab tree, also called monkey bread tree, bottle tree or others. The Baobab tree is a strange looking tree that grows in Africa and Australia. Just like its name “Bottle Tree”, it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as a 16-floor building. During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks (树干) sticking up in the air. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later, the flowers can turn into fruit. Baobab is called “the tree of life”, because they can live longer than 1000 years old. In the dry land, the baobab can pull in and hold 1,000 gallons of water. Thirsty people can drink the water stored in the tree. The fruit, monkey bread, is good to eat. Baobab leaves are a kind of medicine. People can use the bark (树皮) to make paper or cloth. When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is such a useful tree; some people could hardly live without it. 1．How does the writer begin the text? A．By asking a question. B．By showing a story. C．By singing a song. D．By giving an example. 2．Which of the following pictures is the baobab in the dry season? A． B． C． D． 3．Which word is close to the meaning of the underlined word “hollow” in Paragraph 3? A．dirty B．modern C．empty D．useful 4．The following sentences are right except ________. A．Baobab has many names B．Flowers come out in rainy seasons C．The oldest baobab is less than 1,000 years old D．The leaves of baobab are good medicine 5．What’s the best title of the passage? A．God and Baobab B．What is Baobab Like in a Year C．Baobab’s Trunk, Leaves and Fruit D．A Special Tree-Baobab 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要向我们介绍了一种很有特点的树——猴面包树。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据“Long ago, when the God first planted a tree in the garden…bottle tree or others.”可知作者是通过讲故事的方式开始这篇文章的。 2．推理判断题。根据“Just like its name ‘Bottle Tree’, it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as a 16-floor building. During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks sticking up in the air.”可知猴面包树长得像一个大瓶子，在旱季，它们没有叶子，看起来好像树干耸立在空中，所以推断选项A为猴面包树。 3．词句猜测题。根据“An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks.”并结合备选项可猜测应是老树树干会中空，所以本地的人常常把他们的家搬到年老的树干里。 4．细节理解题。根据“Baobab is called ‘the tree of life’, because they can live longer than 1,000 years old.”可知猴面包树被称为“生命之树”，因为它们能活1000多年。 5．最佳标题题。根据“Long ago, when the God first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept moving.”和“It is such a useful tree; some people could hardly live without it.”及全文可知文章介绍了猴面包树。 Passage 4 Many people like going on vacation. It’s a good chance to relax, visit new places and see new things. But while planning a trip, you have to decide whether you want to travel with family or friends, or just alone. Traveling with family can be very cheap or even free if parents pay. However, there may be many arguments. One friend told me that both she and her sister were in tears after arguing on vacation. In my family, Dad always wants to go to a museum. Mom would like to stay in the hotel. My sister likes to buy clothes. As for me, the coffee shop is a great place.

You can learn more about your friends. You can become closer to each other. But money always plays an important role if you go on vacation with your friends. It is normal for you to have different budgets. What’s more, there is also a lot of compromise (妥协) while you’re planning where to stay and what to eat. When it comes to choosing whom to travel with, there is another choice: traveling alone. Traveling alone has advantages. For example, you do not have to compromise on your budget. You can choose what you want to do, and it’s easier for you to make new friends. ________ Sometimes you may feel lonely.

You can become closer to each other.”可知，和朋友旅行能让彼此更亲近，即增进友谊。 4．细节理解题。根据第四段“You can choose what you want to do, and it’s easier for you to make new friends.”可知，独自旅行的优点是可以自主选择想做的事情。 5．推理判断题。根据第五段“Sometimes you may feel lonely. And, when you want to go to the toilet at the bus station or airport, there is nobody to look after your things.”可知，此处列举了独自旅行的缺点，空处应填入引出缺点的句子。 Passage 5 Do you know why you get angry so easily, but your friend smiles all the time? It’s because you have different personalities. Then what is personality? It’s about how people think, behave and react to everything around them. So what makes people think and behave in certain ways? Part of the reason is that people are born like this. A baby gets his or her genes and blood type before birth. These may help decide what the baby will be like. But one’s personality doesn’t stop here. Family life, school learning and life experiences can also make you the person you are. But this doesn’t mean you can’t change your personality. You can always try to make yourself better. Don’t get too worried if you don’t have a good personality. ▲ There are some good ways to start making changes. For example, if you don’t know how to make friends, find out why. Is it because you’re too shy? If so, tell yourself to smile at people. Start talking to people kindly. But don’t give yourself a hard time about it all. After all, it’s not easy to change lifelong habits in one night. Just keep trying, one day you will see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new you! 1．Personality is about the following except ________.

When family members come home, they find their grandparents watching videos of these babies happily. One video shows a one-year-old child easily lifting a pig with his hands and running to his grandparents’ house. Another video shows a baby picking tomatoes in a garden and then making dinner for the family. The old people think of the AI babies as real ones. When seeing an AI baby playing with chickens in the yard, these grandparents feel close to them. They keep saying, “Be careful! Your eyes may get hurt by the chickens.” Younger family members can know that the babies in the videos are not real, but the grandparents are still very interested in them. When young family members tell them that the babies are not real, many old people don’t like hearing this. They get mad and say, “No! They are so cute! You are wrong!” This only makes the old sad. 　▲　 A person online said, “These grandparents want someone to be with them. These AI grandchildren can bring them joy.” However, this can also cause problems. The grandparents may love these AI babies too much. They spend a lot of time watching them. Slowly, they may have less to talk about with their real family. The real grandchildren may feel sad. This could make the family members not as close as before. 1．How does the writer show “AI grandchildren” are popular in Paragraph 1? A．By telling a story. B．By showing the differences. C．By listing numbers. D．By showing examples. 2．Why do some old people enjoy watching these AI baby videos? A．Because the babies can lift a pig. B．Because the babies can pick tomatoes. C．Because they think of them as real grandchildren. D．Because the babies can make dinner for the family. 3．Which of the following can we put in “　▲　” in the last paragraph? A．People show their worry on the internet. B．Some people said that they understood the old people. C．Old people shouldn’t spend too much time on AI grandchildren. D．The real grandchildren are not happy with the AI grandchildren. 4．What does the underlined word “mad” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Angry. B．Excited. C．Sleepy. D．Careful. 5．What is the main idea of this passage? A．AI grandchildren help old people live a happy life. B．Family members should understand old people. C．AI grandchildren become popular but may cause problems. D．Family members should spend more time with grandparents. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文介绍了当下受老年人欢迎的“AI孙辈”现象，老年人将AI生成的婴儿视频里的孩子当作真实孙辈并投入情感，年轻人告知老人真相会让老人难过，同时该现象虽能给老人带来陪伴与快乐，但也可能导致老人过度沉迷，疏远和真实家人的关系，引发家庭亲密度下降的问题。 【详解】 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“One video shows a one-year-old child easily lifting a pig with his hands and running to his grandparents’ house. Another video shows a baby picking tomatoes in a garden and then making dinner for the family.”可知作者通过列举具体的视频内容例子来展示“AI孙辈”的流行情况。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“The old people think of the AI babies as real ones.”可知老人喜欢看这些视频是因为他们把这些AI宝宝当成了真实的孙辈，从中获得陪伴感。 3．推理判断题。空格后文提到有网友表示祖父母是需要陪伴，AI孙辈能给他们带来快乐，可见空格处应是引出人们对老人行为的理解，“Some people said that they understood the old people.”能顺畅衔接后文的网友观点。 4．词句猜测题。根据文章第二段中“When young family members tell them that the babies are not real, many old people don’t like hearing this. They get mad and say, ‘No! They are so cute! You are wrong!’”可知老人不喜欢听到真相并强烈反驳，此时的情绪应该是生气的。 5．主旨大意题。全文既介绍了“AI孙辈”在老年人群体中流行、能给老人带来快乐的现状，也阐述了该现象可能引发的家庭关系疏远的问题，C选项“AI grandchildren become popular but may cause problems.”完整覆盖了两部分核心内容。 Passage 8 For many years, wildlife protection has been a race against time. Elephants are killed for their ivory. Tigers are hunted for their skins. Forests are cut down, and climate change makes life even harder for animals. Poaching remains a serious problem. Rangers work day and night, but they cannot be everywhere. Now, artificial intelligence, or AI, is giving them a powerful new pair of eyes and ears. AI is a kind of computer program that can learn from data. When it is trained with thousands of pictures or sounds, it can recognize patterns and make decisions. In wildlife protection, AI is used in three main ways. First, AI helps stop poaching. In some African national parks, special cameras are fixed to trees. These cameras are connected to AI software. The software can tell the difference between a human, a car and an animal. If it sees a person carrying a gun at night, it sends a warning to rangers’ phones within seconds. In one park, this system helped cut illegal hunting by nearly 30 percent in a year. Second, AI helps scientists track animals. Drones with AI can fly over large areas and take photos. The AI then studies the patterns on a tiger’s skin, an elephant’s ear, or a whale’s tail. These patterns are as unique as a human fingerprint. With this method, scientists can identify each animal and follow its movement without disturbing it. Third, AI can analyze huge amounts of data. For example, it listens to recordings from the forest and picks out the calls of different birds and frogs. This helps scientists know which species are still there. AI can also predict where poachers may go next, so rangers can plan better patrol routes. However, AI is not a magic solution. It costs a lot of money to buy and maintain. Many protected areas are far from cities and have poor internet. AI can also make mistakes, such as mistaking a farmer for a poacher. And some people worry that AI might take away jobs or be used to watch people unfairly. In the end, AI is a powerful tool, but it cannot replace human effort. Rangers still need to patrol, governments need to make strong laws, and local communities need to be involved. Only when technology and people work together can wildlife have a safer future. 1．What can AI cameras do in national parks? A．They can feed wild animals. B．They can tell humans from animals and warn rangers. C．They can catch poachers by themselves. D．They can change the weather in the forest. 2．The underlined word “Poaching” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________. A．protecting wild animals B．studying animal calls C．illegal hunting D．planting trees 3．Why does the author compare animal patterns to “a human fingerprint”? A．To show that animals have fingers. B．To explain how AI identifies each animal. C．To prove that AI can take clear photos. D．To show that fingerprints are important for humans. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．AI is a powerful but limited tool for wildlife protection. B．Poaching is the only problem facing wildlife. C．AI will soon replace rangers in national parks. D．Scientists no longer need to study animals in the wild. 5．What is the author’s attitude towards AI in wildlife protection? A．Doubtful and worried. B．Positive but cautious. C．Completely supportive. D．Uninterested and neutral. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了人工智能在野生动物保护中的三种主要应用：帮助阻止偷猎、帮助科学家追踪动物、分析大量数据，同时也指出AI并非万能，存在成本高、网络差、可能出错等问题，最终强调只有技术与人类共同努力，野生动物才能拥有更安全的未来。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。第三段提到：“The software can tell the difference between a human, a car and an animal. If it sees a person carrying a gun at night, it sends a warning to rangers’ phones within seconds.” 这说明AI摄像头能区分人、车辆和动物，并在发现有人持枪时向护林员发出警告，因此选B。 2．词句猜测题。第一段提到：“Elephants are killed for their ivory. Tigers are hunted for their skins.” 以及“Poaching remains a serious problem.” 结合上下文可知，Poaching指的是非法猎杀野生动物，因此选C。 3．推理判断题。第四段提到：“These patterns are as unique as a human fingerprint. With this method, scientists can identify each animal and follow its movement without disturbing it.” 作者把动物身上的花纹比作人类指纹，是为了说明AI可以通过这些独特花纹识别每一只动物，因此选B。 4．主旨大意题。文章先介绍AI在野生动物保护中的多种用途，接着指出AI不是万能解决方案，最后强调AI不能取代人类努力，需要技术与人类合作。因此文章主旨是：AI是野生动物保护中强大但有限度的工具，选A。 5．观点态度题。作者既肯定了AI在野生动物保护中的强大作用，也指出其成本高、网络差、可能出错等局限，并在结尾强调AI不能取代人类努力，说明作者态度是积极但谨慎的，因此选B。 第 1 页 共 51 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
