So they went to Beijing from Hangzhou by bike last summer holiday. They spent almost one month on the bike travel. They went through many cities and villages during the travel. They ate the food they took or had cheap meals. When they were tired at night, they took out their map to find small and cheap hotels or the farmers’ houses to stay in. They also took some medicine with them. “We thought we didn’t need to go to hospital because we took medicine with us. But one night, a heavy and sudden rain made us all wet. Harry got a bad cold. What was worse, it seemed that the medicine didn’t work. I couldn’t help crying. We didn’t know the trip would be so hard,” said Zhou. “Well, travelling by bike on different kinds of paths is not easy. Sometimes we fell off the bikes and got hurt. It’s both a physical and mental challenge, but it’s meaningful,” said Harry. At the end of August, they got to Beijing successfully. They visited a lot of places of interest in Beijing, such as the Great Wall, the Summer Palace and Tian’anmen Square. They had a fun time in Beijing for ten days.

They spend a little money traveling to as many places as they can, without enough rest or sleep. For example, a young man called Nan Duoduo climbed the Five Great Mountains in China within only five days. “Reverse (反向的) travel” is a new fashion among young Chinese travelers. “A man moved 1 meter every 10 minutes on Mount Huangshan” became a hot topic on the Internet during last year’s National Day holiday. More and more people don’t want to go to those famous places on holiday because they are too crowded. They like to spend their time in less popular places to make themselves relaxed. “Seal (印章) -collecting travel” means tourists collect seals while traveling. It’s really special and meaningful. People usually collect seals from places of interest, shops, and other places. Each seal reminds them of a beautiful memory. Every time they open their collection, those special moments come back to life. The winter vacation is coming soon. Do you have any travel plans?

We will wait for more family members to come before eating together at the table, my grandma’s dinner table. In the past, I felt that was a little silly tradition. However, I find it’s fantastic to get together as a family now. For me, dinner is not just a meal, but a good time to talk and play with family. We can talk about anything and everything after a long week of school and work. Every time I sit at the dinner table, my grandma’s dinner table, I look around and find so many people who truly love me. It makes me feel so happy. Finally, I understand the true meaning of this tradition. It’s not about the dinners or activities. It’s about family, a group of people who care about each other.

But how much do you know about this type of bird? In Chinese culture, magpies are called xique, which means “the bird of happiness”. People believe that seeing magpies can bring them good luck. The birds even have a special job in the Chinese story of the Qixi Festival. It’s said that magpies would form a bridge in the sky for Niulang and Zhinü so that they could get together once a year. As a result, magpies stand for true love too. Magpies have black and white feathers with slightly blue tails. With their special “zhazhazha” sounds from early morning till night, it is not difficult for birdwatchers to notice them. You can always see them chatting on the roof or in the branches. Magpies have some very interesting living habits. They always live around humans. In winter, many magpies turn to a more plant-rich diet. Their diet includes around 60% vegetables. Sometimes they may look for food on the ground but not eat it right away. Instead, they will save the food for the future. Even more surprising, they stay around the dead birds and make sad sounds. It is just like they are holding a funeral (葬礼). All these unbelievable things lead some people to believe that magpies may be the cleverest of all birds. Well, Beijing’s noisiest bird is also one of its smartest ones. Maybe these little birds can really bring a little luck too. 1．What does the magpie’s Chinese name mean according to the article? 2．What do magpies look like? 3．What do magpies mainly live on in winter? 4．What do magpies do for their dead friends? 5．What other animals can bring good luck in Chinese culture? Passage 2 阅读短文，根据短文内容，用完整英语句子回答下列问题。 Food chains are important inside every ecosystem. They show how energy passes from plants to different kinds of animals. Plants produce energy with sunlight. Plant-eating animals feed on plants. Then meat‑eating animals hunt those plant-eating animals. If one link of the food chain breaks, the whole system will suffer. Take wolves in mountain areas as an example. In the past, lots of wolves were hunted. Without enough wolves, the number of plant-eating animals increased rapidly. Those animals ate up huge amounts of grass and small plants. Large areas of grassland turned bare. Soil loss followed soon afterwards. This example tells us that each wildlife species serves a necessary purpose. Removing one animal from nature will bring unexpected results. Human beings are part of food chains too. We cannot separate ourselves from nature. To keep our living environment stable, we must respect every member in the food chain. 1．What do food chains show us according to the text? 2．Where does the energy of plants come from? 3．What happened after plenty of wolves were hunted in mountain areas? 4．What was the direct result when too many plant-eating animals appeared? 5．What lesson does this example bring to human beings?

I’ve been with you for about a year so far, but I’m afraid you don’t know me quite well, so I decide to write this letter to you. I may live for ten to fifteen years before leaving this world. I enjoy every moment being with you. So I’m always sad when I stay away from you. Please give me time to understand what you want me to do. Don’t leave me alone all the time. You have your work and your friends. But I only have you. Talk to me sometimes. Although I don’t understand your words, I can tell from your voice whether you are happy or sad. Before you hit me, remember that I have sharp teeth that could easily hurt you, but that I choose not to. You are my owner, so I will never hurt you. Take care of me when I get old. You will grow old, too. One day I might leave you forever. However, everything will be easy for me if you are there. Please keep in mind: I love you, always. Your doggie, Buddy 1．How did the dog feel in his owner’s arms when he left his mum? 2．According to the letter, how long may the pet dog live? 3．How can the dog know whether Marilyn is happy or sad? 4．What does the dog want his owner to do when he gets old? 5．Who wrote this letter, Marilyn or Buddy? Passage 4 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成表格。​ Amazing Butterflies​ Butterflies are beautiful insects that live all over the world. They have colorful wings and play an important role in nature.​ Butterflies start their life as eggs. When the eggs hatch, they become caterpillars. Caterpillars eat a lot of leaves to grow. After a few weeks, they make a cocoon around themselves. Inside the cocoon, the caterpillar changes into a butterfly. This process is called metamorphosis.​ When the butterfly comes out of the cocoon, its wings are wet. It waits for the wings to dry before it can fly. Butterflies feed on nectar from flowers. While getting nectar, they carry pollen from one flower to another. This helps flowers reproduce.​ Many butterflies migrate in autumn. For example, monarch butterflies travel thousands of kilometers to warm places to spend winter. But today, butterflies are in danger. Pollution and cutting down flowers make it hard for them to live. We can help by planting more flowers and keeping the air clean.​ Aspect​ Details ​ Life cycle​ 1. Start as 1 . 2. Become caterpillars after hatching. 3.

For example, if you know your classmates are interested in an upcoming activity, learn about it, so you can join in their talk. Let people know you are shy and don’t tell lies. If you are shy, just show it. Instead of letting people guess, tell them the truth. Explain that you are shy, but you enjoy talking to people. Make it easy for others. Remember, you are not the only shy person. Things like saying hello or smiling can make others feel better. Practise one social skill at a time. Start with small things. For example, smile or be the first person to say hi. Choose skills you feel comfortable to practise for a day, a week, a month, or even a year. Shyness Situation It is quite 1 for people to be shy.

Magpies are an important part of Beijing as the Palace Museum and Beijing roast duck. But how much do you know about this type of bird? In Chinese culture, magpies are called xique, which means “the bird of happiness”. People believe that seeing magpies can bring them good luck. The birds even have a special job in the Chinese story of the Qixi Festival. It’s said that magpies would form a bridge in the sky for Niulang and Zhinü so that they could get together once a year. As a result, magpies stand for true love too. Magpies have black and white feathers with slightly blue tails. With their special “zhazhazha” sounds from early morning till night, it is not difficult for birdwatchers to notice them. You can always see them chatting on the roof or in the branches. Magpies have some very interesting living habits. They always live around humans. In winter, many magpies turn to a more plant-rich diet. Their diet includes around 60% vegetables. Sometimes they may look for food on the ground but not eat it right away. Instead, they will save the food for the future. Even more surprising, they stay around the dead birds and make sad sounds. It is just like they are holding a funeral (葬礼). All these unbelievable things lead some people to believe that magpies may be the cleverest of all birds. Well, Beijing’s noisiest bird is also one of its smartest ones. Maybe these little birds can really bring a little luck too. 1．What does the magpie’s Chinese name mean according to the article? 2．What do magpies look like? 3．What do magpies mainly live on in winter? 4．What do magpies do for their dead friends? 5．What other animals can bring good luck in Chinese culture? 【答案】1．It means “the bird of happiness”. 2．They have black and white feathers with slightly blue tails. 3．They mainly live on vegetables. 4．They stay around the dead birds and make sad sounds. 5．Fish, cranes and bats can also bring good luck in Chinese culture.

They show how energy passes from plants to different kinds of animals. Plants produce energy with sunlight. Plant-eating animals feed on plants. Then meat‑eating animals hunt those plant-eating animals. If one link of the food chain breaks, the whole system will suffer. Take wolves in mountain areas as an example. In the past, lots of wolves were hunted. Without enough wolves, the number of plant-eating animals increased rapidly. Those animals ate up huge amounts of grass and small plants. Large areas of grassland turned bare. Soil loss followed soon afterwards. This example tells us that each wildlife species serves a necessary purpose. Removing one animal from nature will bring unexpected results. Human beings are part of food chains too. We cannot separate ourselves from nature. To keep our living environment stable, we must respect every member in the food chain. 1．What do food chains show us according to the text? 2．Where does the energy of plants come from? 3．What happened after plenty of wolves were hunted in mountain areas? 4．What was the direct result when too many plant-eating animals appeared? 5．What lesson does this example bring to human beings? 【答案】1．Food chains show how energy passes from plants to different kinds of animals. 2．The energy of plants comes from sunlight. 3．The number of plant-eating animals increased rapidly after plenty of wolves were hunted. 4．Huge amounts of grass and small plants were eaten up and large areas of grassland turned bare. 5．Human beings are part of food chains and we must respect every member in the food chain to keep our living environment stable. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍食物链在生态系统中的重要性，以山区狼被猎杀为例，说明食物链任何一环断裂都会破坏生态，人类要尊重食物链里每一个成员。 【详解】 1．根据第一段第二句“They show how energy passes from plants to different kinds of animals.”可知，食物链展示能量如何从植物传递到各类动物，答案几乎是原文引述。 2．根据第一段第三句“Plants produce energy with sunlight.”可知，植物的能量来自阳光，答案几乎是原文引述。 3．根据第二段第四句“Without enough wolves, the number of plant-eating animals increased rapidly.”可知，狼被大量捕杀之后，食草动物的数量快速增长，答案几乎是原文引述。 4．根据第二段第五、六句“Those animals ate up huge amounts of grass and small plants. Large areas of grassland turned bare.”可知，大量草和小型植物被吃光，大片草原变得光秃秃，直接提取信息即可。 5．根据第三段第三句“Human beings are part of food chains too.”及第五句“To keep our living environment stable, we must respect every member in the food chain.”可知，人类也是食物链一部分，要尊重食物链中每一个成员，维持生存环境稳定。整合为：Human beings are part of food chains and we must respect every member in the food chain to keep our living environment stable.

They have colorful wings and play an important role in nature.​ Butterflies start their life as eggs. When the eggs hatch, they become caterpillars. Caterpillars eat a lot of leaves to grow. After a few weeks, they make a cocoon around themselves. Inside the cocoon, the caterpillar changes into a butterfly. This process is called metamorphosis.​ When the butterfly comes out of the cocoon, its wings are wet. It waits for the wings to dry before it can fly. Butterflies feed on nectar from flowers. While getting nectar, they carry pollen from one flower to another. This helps flowers reproduce.​ Many butterflies migrate in autumn. For example, monarch butterflies travel thousands of kilometers to warm places to spend winter. But today, butterflies are in danger. Pollution and cutting down flowers make it hard for them to live. We can help by planting more flowers and keeping the air clean.​ Aspect​ Details ​ Life cycle​ 1. Start as 1 . 2. Become caterpillars after hatching. 3. Make a 2 and change into butterflies.​ Ability​ Can fly after their wings 3 .​ Role in nature​ Carry 4 to help flowers reproduce.​ Threats​ 1. Pollution. 2. Cutting down flowers.​ Ways to help​ 1.
