Animals, however, have many different ways of sleeping. For warmth, some animals sleep in groups, such as lions, monkeys, penguins and so on. Elephants also sleep in a group, but they sleep in groups for protection. The larger elephants make a circle around the younger elephants. The larger elephants sleep standing up, while the younger ones lie down to sleep. Some animals sleep in trees. Birds will lock their feet onto a branch to keep from falling out of the tree. Other animals, like squirrels, make nests (筑巢) in the trees to sleep in. Most animals look for dry places to sleep. However, ducks often sleep in water. So do sea otters. They hold hands when they sleep in groups to keep from floating away. Most animals lie down to sleep. However, some large animals, like horses, can sleep standing up. The flamingo sleeps standing on just one leg. Most animals sleep at night, but some animals are nocturnal. Nocturnal animals sleep during the day. Bats and owls are nocturnal animals. They wake up when the sun goes down! Animals sleep in many different ways. But, just like humans, every animal must sleep. 1．What is the main idea of the passage?

It gives readers a new place to read in a natural environment. The library is known as Read & Joy Forest. It is in a green area near Shanghai Library East. Readers can take a relaxing walk in the forest with different kinds of trees. “I learned about the forest library from my friends, so I came here,” said a student named Wang Bin. “The green outdoor environment is good for my eyes. I will come back for sure.” “Having a library in the forest is an extension of reading indoors,” said Xu Qiang, head of Shanghai Library. “Readers can read books there, having a good time.” Most of the visitors to the forest library are young people and parents with their children. They read carefully or walk around in the forest. “I am really happy with the fresh air and the smells of the trees here. I’ve spent the whole morning indoors, and want to get some fresh air. I feel very relaxed here.” said one reader. 1．What’s the Chinese meaning of “extension” in Paragraph 4? A．视野 B．方法 C．延伸 D．范围 2．What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph?

C．First “forest library” in Shanghai D．A green area open to people 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了上海首个“森林图书馆”Read & Joy Forest的开放情况、环境特点及读者反馈，核心对象是森林图书馆，核心结论是它为读者提供了自然阅读的新体验。 1．根据文章第4段“Having a library in the forest is an extension of reading indoors”可推知，在森林建图书馆是将室内阅读扩展到了户外，核心推理逻辑是词义与语境的对应，并能得出解析的结论该词意为“延伸”。 2．根据文章第6段“I am really happy with the fresh air and the smells of the trees here... I feel very relaxed here.”可推知，读者对这里的环境感到满意和放松，核心推理逻辑是情感态度与原因的对应，并能得出解析的结论读者喜欢待在这里是因为感觉很好。 3．根据文章第1段“The first ‘forest library’ in Shanghai has opened to people.”可推知，全文围绕上海首个森林图书馆展开，核心推理逻辑是主旨概括，并能得出解析的结论最佳标题为上海首个“森林图书馆”。 Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman, a book by Richard P. Feynman, was a very interesting read. Feynman shares his thoughts on life in an easy and honest way through many fun stories. Feynman loved learning new things so much. He always wanted to know more. You may think a great scientist only cares about science, right? But Feynman liked asking questions and wanted to learn about everything. He showed an interest in painting and even held his own art show. He also joined a Brazilian bongo band (巴西邦戈乐队) and played with its members. The list goes on and on! This made me think: We should be passionate about our work, but we should also try new hobbies. I learned another lesson from Feynman’s science studies. That is to never just trust someone else’s data (数据). Every time he did a science test, he would check the numbers himself, even if (即便) others had shared them elsewhere. We often need to learn from the work of others. When their results are wrong, however, we will be misled (误导). So, we should never believe any information without thinking. Feynman, I think, was a true scientist and a lover of life. He is no longer with us, but his work will still help many people. 1．Which hobby of Feynman’s is mentioned (提及) in the passage? A．Writing science books. B．Painting and playing music. C．Checking science data himself. D．Teaching physics. 2．What does the underlined word “passionate” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese? A．疲惫的 B．敷衍的 C．主动的 D．热情的 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Feynman cared about science and had no other hobbies. B．The writer thinks people should not spend time on new hobbies. C．People can get great ideas about work and life by reading this book. D．We can trust the data if others have shared it elsewhere. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．An Interesting Book About Science B．Richard Feynman: A Scientist Who Loved Life C．Richard Feynman’s Hobbies D．How to Be Like Feynman 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇书评，作者介绍了《别闹了，费曼先生》这本书以及从费曼身上学到的两个人生道理：热爱工作也要尝试新爱好；不轻信他人数据，要独立思考。 1．文章第二段指出“He showed an interest in painting and even held his own art show. He also joined a Brazilian bongo band and played with its members.”，说明了书中提到了费曼的绘画和音乐爱好。 2．文章第二段指出“We should be passionate about our work, but we should also try new hobbies.”，结合前文费曼热爱学习、对一切充满好奇，可以推断“passionate”意为“热情的”。 3．文章第一段指出“Feynman shares his thoughts on life in an easy and honest way through many fun stories.”后文又分别从爱好、科研态度两方面给出人生启发，说明人们可以通过阅读这本书获得关于工作和生活的启发。 4．文章介绍了费曼作为科学家和热爱生活的人的两面，他从科学和生活中都学到了宝贵的东西。由此推断，最佳标题是“理查德·费曼：一位热爱生活的科学家”。 Do you have a sleeping problem? Then you may need to see more sunlight, especially in the morning, a new study says. A team of researchers (研究人员) from New York, US did the study, reported Yahoo news. The team did a study on 109 office workers across the US. They found that some of the workers saw lots of light during the morning hours, between 8 am and lunchtime. They found that they had a better sleep than others. They also fell asleep more quickly at night. Why is sunlight so important to your sleep? Researchers say it helps set your “body clock”. When there is less and less sunlight at the close of the day, your body starts to make melatonin (褪黑素). It makes you feel sleepy. Your body makes the most melatonin at night. During the day, sunlight tells your body to make less melatonin, which keeps you awake. Researchers suggest we see 15 minutes of sunlight in the morning. It can help balance (平衡) the melatonin in our body. 1．The passage mainly tells us ________. A．why people have a sleeping problem B．the team of researchers is from US C．sunlight can help people sleep D．how we can get sunlight 2．If Jack has lots of sunlight during the morning hours, he can ________. A．feel warm and fall asleep slowly B．sleep better and fall asleep more quickly at night C．feel tired and have a better sleep D．sleep well and sleep for a short time 3．The underlined word “awake” means “________” in Chinese. A．清醒的 B．安静的 C．疲倦的 D．烦躁的 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Everyone has a sleeping problem. B．All the 109 office workers have a good sleep. C．Less sunlight can help bodies make less melatonin. D．To help balance the melatonin, seeing 15 minutes of sunlight is OK. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍一项美国研究表明早上多晒太阳能够调节人体褪黑素分泌、校准生物钟，从而改善睡眠质量，研究者建议每日早晨晒 15 分钟阳光来平衡体内褪黑素。 1．文章首段提出如果有睡眠问题可能需要多晒太阳，随后通过研究案例、原理分析（褪黑素）以及专家建议，均围绕“阳光有助于改善睡眠”这一主题展开。 2．根据第二段中“They found that they had a better sleep than others. They also fell asleep more quickly at night.”可知，早晨接触大量阳光的人睡眠质量更好，且晚上入睡更快。 3．根据第三段语境，褪黑素（melatonin）让人感到困倦（sleepy），而白天阳光使身体减少褪黑素分泌，从而使人保持“awake”，即与困倦相反的状态，意为“清醒的”。 4．根据最后一段“Researchers suggest we see 15 minutes of sunlight in the morning. It can help balance...the melatonin in our body.”可知，晒15分钟阳光有助于平衡褪黑素，D项正确。A项“每个人”太绝对；B项与第二段“部分工人”不符；C项与第三段“阳光少褪黑素多”的原理相反。 ①Friends are very important to us. Do you have many friends? If you have many, you’re lucky. If you have a few good friends, you’re lucky. Our best friends can make our lives richer. They can teach us things. They can also challenge us to be better people. ②Good friends can help us stay healthy, too. When we are sick, they often take care of us. Without friends, we feel lonely. Loneliness (孤独) can be as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes (香烟) a day. So, build up your circle of friends and keep them close. ③Good friends make us more confident (自信). Sometimes we feel bad and have doubts about ourselves. When you feel this way, go to your friends. They’ll be there to make you happy. They will let you know how amazing you are. ④Good friends make us be better people. They challenge us to do better and be better. What’s more, a friend’s good qualities can influence us. For example, if they are friendly and hard-working, you are more likely to be friendly and hard-working, too. 1．You are lucky to have a few good friends because a good friend ________.

D．Loneliness can be as harmful as smoking. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．A 5．A 【导语】本文开篇直接点明朋友对我们十分重要的中心论点，随后分四个段落分层论述好朋友带来的四大益处：丰富生活、有益身心健康、提升自信、督促我们成为更好的人，全文采用总分结构展开论证。 1．根据第一段“Our best friends can make our lives richer...They can also challenge us to be better people.”可知，拥有挚友能督促我们成为更优秀的人。 2．画线句子的句意：孤独和一天抽15支香烟一样有害。意在说明缺少挚友、长期孤独会损害身体健康，等同于抽烟带来的伤害。B曲解句子含义；C、D文中未提及抽烟欲望与肺部问题，A项符合语境。 3．根据第三段“Sometimes we feel bad and have doubts about ourselves. When you feel this way, go to your friends.”可知，心情低落时可以去找朋友倾诉。 4．通读文章，第①段总起提出核心观点，②③④段分别从健康、自信、自我成长三个角度分述好处，是总分结构。 5．全文围绕“朋友对我们很重要”展开分层论述，B侧重交友方法、C、D只是段落局部细节，不能概括全文主旨，因此A最适合做文章标题。 The first English Week in our school started on 4 September 2025. It was popular among students and teachers. Now let me tell you something about the English Week. During the English Week, our school held lots of activities, including a handwriting competition (比赛), a story-telling competition and an English show. All the teachers and students could take part in them. The handwriting competition was for the students in Grade 7. Most of us couldn’t write very well. However, we were very careful when we were writing. This September, I got first prize in this competition! The story-telling competition is for the students in higher grades, such as Grade 8 and Grade 9. They usually have a very good imagination (想象力), so they get interested in this activity. The most important event was the English show at the end of the English Week. The students and teachers sang a lot of English songs and put on some famous English plays. We all enjoyed them so much. The English Week is not long, but all the students and the teachers could learn a lot. We hope the next English Week will come soon! 1．How many kinds of activities were there during the English Week?

Now, primary students learn cooking at school. Teachers and parents talk about it a lot. Some say that it is useful, but others think that it is not. Here is the thing about cooking. Cooking is a way of learning. When students learn about foods around the world and the stories behind the dishes, they are parts of the world. They learn history and culture in a new way. When making sandwiches, they put 2 pieces of bread on the plate and see that vegetables stay fresh (新鲜的) longer if they’re not cut too early, they learn science. Cooking classes show students that they can learn from the mistakes. Li Mei learned this when she cooked her first cake badly in class. Her teacher said, “Don’t worry. Mistakes help us learn.” They talked about it together and found the mistakes. Then Li Mei cooked a cake again carefully. Her new cake came out perfect! Cooking makes students work with classmates. In a cooking class, students work together. Everyone has a job and they help each other. When groups work well, the food tastes better! Cooking shows that teamwork makes things easier and more fun. 1．How does the writer begin this passage? A．By giving an idea. B．By asking a question. C．By introducing himself.

Li Mei learned this when she cooked her first cake badly in class…They talked about together and found the mistakes.”，以Li Mei第一次做蛋糕失败为例，说明这些“mistakes”是制作过程中出现的失误、差错，与problems“问题、差错”的含义最贴合。 3．文章的结构为：第1段引入话题，提出关于烹饪的讨论；第2段介绍“烹饪是一种学习方式”；第3段介绍“烹饪能让人从错误中学习”；第4段介绍“烹饪能培养团队合作精神”。整体是“总——分”结构，即第1段总起，第2、3、4段并列展开。 4．全文围绕烹饪课的三个意义展开，介绍了从烹饪中可以学习知识、学会从错误中成长、学会团队合作，因此主旨是“从烹饪中学到什么”。 ①Everyone should have a hobby. But how can you take up the right hobby? Here is some advice (建议). ②What are your interests? What do you want to try? For example, Tom likes spending time outdoors. And he can try something like bird watching, fishing and so on. What do you like doing for fun? Think about it. ③Do you have targets (目标) for your hobby? Do you just look for something to kill time or do you want to turn it into your job one day? Do you hope to make your skills better? Or do you try to make new friends? Think about what you want to get from your hobby. ④Is your hobby healthy? Hobbies like playing video games or watching soap operas (肥皂剧) are not very healthy. You need to sit in one place for a long time and always look at the screen. That’s just bad for your body. So please choose healthy hobbies. ⑤Many students have hobbies, such as bird watching, paper cutting and growing vegetables. Some hobbies can take them much time.

Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English? There is a reason (原因) for this. Scientists are studying something between music and remembering a foreign (外国的) language, like English. “Singing could be a new way of learning, especially for learning a foreign language. The brain (大脑) likes to remember things in a catchy and relaxing way. For example, children can remember difficult words quickly when they are in a song,” said Dr Karen Ludke. If children find it difficult to learn foreign languages, this new way may help. On her blog, Dr Ludke wrote, “A listen-and-repeat (重复) singing way can help to learn foreign languages and open the door for future study in this area.” Many language teachers know the importance of music and often use it in teaching and learning. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington D．C．, likes using songs in teaching Chinese. She said, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids, we usually use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics (歌词). It works, and it is fun for children.” “Sometimes I think if I had learnt English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better,” Hua Zhuying said. Our brain likes music in learning languages, especially for remembering. If you are still having problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out? 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving examples. B．By telling a story. C．By showing numbers. D．By asking questions. 2．What does the underlined word “catchy” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Easy to remember. B．Fast to read. C．Slow to follow. D．Hard to understand. 3．What do we know about Hua Zhuying? A．She is an English and music teacher in China. B．She spoke English much better when she was young. C．She teaches little children Chinese lyrics with English songs. D．She teaches Chinese in an English language school in Washington D．C．． 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Learning foreign languages can open the door for future. B．It’s helpful for children to learn foreign languages in music. C．Teachers should have some special ways to teach students. D．Languages help when we have problems in singing foreign songs. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文介绍了音乐辅助语言学习的相关研究与教学实践，说明唱歌是一种有趣且有效的外语学习方式。 1．文章开头用了两个问句“How can you remember a song for a long time? Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English?”引出话题，是通过提问的方式开篇。 2．文中提到“大脑喜欢以catchy and relaxing的方式记忆事物，孩子在歌曲中能快速记住难词”，结合语境，“catchy”在这里指“容易记住的”，对应选项A。 3．文中提到“For little kids, we usually use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics”，说明她会用英文歌曲教孩子中文歌词。 4．全文围绕音乐辅助语言学习展开，说明在音乐中学习外语对孩子很有帮助。 Many kids go camping during the summer. They often start to camp in the morning and go home in the afternoon. That is called day camp. Nowadays, another kind of camp, sleep-away camp, is becoming popular with kids. It’s called a sleep-away camp because they stay overnight (过夜) there. It’s a kind of vacation for kids, but without their parents. Kids usually spend a week staying at a sleep-away camp. It offers much more excitement because they’ll be there all day and night, eating their meals, playing games and communicating with others. They will sleep in a cabin (小屋) with the other kids attending the camp. They have to share the bathroom with the other kids. If you go to a sleep-away camp for the first time, you’ll feel excited and maybe a little nervous. Be proud of yourself for being old enough to go camping. It is a chance to try new things.

The school bus looks like a tourist bus. It takes Su about 40 minutes to get to school. “It’s more convenient (方便的) than the subway. It saves a lot of time,” the 12-year-old said. “Today, school buses are becoming more welcome in China. In Chongqing, there will be 3,000 yellow school buses on the road by the end of this year,” said Xinhua News Agency. In the US, yellow school buses are a usual way for children to get to school. Yellow became the color of school buses in 1939. The color helps warn (告诫) other cars. Black letters on a yellow bus are easy to see in the early morning. There are about 480,000 school buses in the country, according to the American School Bus Council. But there are not many school buses in the UK. Students from public schools usually walk or take buses or the subway to school. There are some school buses in private (私营的) schools, but they are not yellow. In Japan the school districts (校区) are small in cities. So children don’t need to use school buses. They usually walk to school. Some students living in rural (乡村的) areas go to school by bus or train. In some places where the weather is bad, such as Iceland, children go to school in a special car. The car looks like a jeep. It can drive over thick ice. And, on the islands next to Washington State in the US, some kids even take a boat to school. 1．Why does Su Yongjian take a school bus to school this September? A．Because the school bus looks like a tourist bus. B．Because taking a school bus saves a lot of time. C．Because school buses are becoming more popular. D．Because he dislikes going to school by subway. 2．Why is the color of school buses yellow? A．Because it is beautiful. B．Because children in the US like the color. C．Because the color helps warn other cars. D．Because it can drive over thick ice. 3．Which of the following is TRUE? A．There are 3,000 school buses in Chongqing now. B．Many kids in the US go to school by school bus. C．School buses all over the world are yellow. D．The UK likes school buses better. 4．In Japan, students in cities don’t need to take school buses because ________. A．they like to take the train B．they think walking is good for their bodies C．the school districts are small in cities D．they usually live at school 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文以北京学生Su Yongjian乘坐校车的经历为切入点，介绍了校车在中国的普及趋势，并对比了美国、英国、日本、冰岛等不同国家和地区的学生上学交通方式，重点提及美国黄色校车的设计原因和使用现状，展现了不同地域上学出行方式的差异。 1．细节理解题。根据“It’s more convenient than the subway. It saves a lot of time”可知，校车比地铁方便，能节省很多时间。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Yellow became the color of school buses in 1939. The color helps warn other cars.”可知，黄色校车的设计目的是提醒其他车辆注意，保障学生安全。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“In the US, yellow school buses are a usual way for children to get to school.”可知，黄色校车是美国孩子上学的常用方式。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“In Japan the school districts are small in cities. So children don’t need to use school buses. They usually walk to school.”可知，日本城市的校区范围小，孩子们不需要坐校车，直接步行上学即可。故选C。   ①When we talk about reading, we probably think of eyes because we do the reading with our eyes. But we can do some reading by ear, too. With the development (发展) of smartphones, it’s getting easier to do some reading with ears—by listening to stories, news, novels, and so on. This is audio (音频) reading. ②Many people like doing audio reading in bed before going to sleep. They like to just lie in bed in the darkness before they fall asleep. This would be the perfect time to do some audio reading. If you read an ordinary book, you have to turn on the lights, and you have to turn the pages with your hand. ③Some other people would like to do audio reading in the kitchen. For some people, it’s boring to cook. So they can enjoy their time by listening to the news or stories. For some others, it’s interesting to cook by listening to instructions made by famous cooks. ④Audio reading is a favorite while a person is exercising. It allows the mind to be free while legs, body, and arms are kept busy. But be careful. Don’t put yourself and others in danger. Let’s take driving, for example. If you pay much attention to listening, you can’t be a good driver. ⑤Finally, audio reading is helpful for blind people. It was difficult for them to read in the past. But now, they can do some audio reading easily. 1．According to the passage, it’s NOT audio reading when people listen to ________. A．news. B．stories. C．music. D．novels. 2．What can we know from the passage? A．Audio reading may be popular. B．Audio reading helps you cook a nice dish. C．Audio reading is difficult for blind people. D．There may be no paper books in the future. 3．In which part of the newspaper can you read the passage? A．Health. B．Hobby. C．Study. D．Exercise. 4．How is the passage organized? A．①/②/③④⑤ B．①/②③④/⑤ C．①/②③/④⑤ D．①/②③④⑤ 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了音频阅读这一阅读方式，包括其借助智能手机发展的背景、人们进行音频阅读的不同场景以及对盲人的帮助。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第①段中“by listening to stories, news, novels and so on. This is audio (音频) reading.”可知，音频阅读包括听故事、新闻、小说等，原文未提及听音乐属于音频阅读。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第②段“Many people like doing audio reading in bed before going to sleep”、第③段“Some other people would like to do audio reading in the kitchen”、第④段“Audio reading is a favorite while a person is exercising”以及第⑤段“Finally, audio reading is helpful for blind people”可知，不同人群在多种场景下都喜爱或受益于音频阅读，由此可推断音频阅读可能很受欢迎。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第①段“With the development (发展) of smartphones, it’s getting easier to do some reading with ears—by listening to stories, news, novels and so on. This is audio (音频) reading.”可知，文章核心围绕“音频阅读”这一阅读方式展开，阅读属于学习相关范畴，因此这篇文章很可能来自报纸的学习板块。故选C。 4．篇章结构题。根据文章第①段“With the development (发展) of smart phones, it’s getting easier to do some reading with ears—by listening to stories, news, novels and so on. This is audio (音频) reading.”可知，第①段总述音频阅读的定义及发展背景；第②段“Many people like doing audio reading in bed before going to sleep”介绍睡前进行音频阅读的情况，第③段“Some other people would like to do audio reading in the kitchen”介绍厨房场景的音频阅读，第④段“Audio reading is a favorite while a person is exercising”介绍锻炼时的音频阅读及注意事项，第⑤段“Finally, audio reading is helpful for blind people”介绍音频阅读对盲人的帮助，第②-⑤段均是对音频阅读具体情况的分述，因此文章结构为①/②③④⑤。故选D。 At school, students usually learn different subjects in the classroom. But these days, they are becoming more interested in a new subject—school gardening. Students learn it outside the classroom in the fresh air! But some teachers are finding good ways to make it work. The school garden may be very small, but even a small garden can bring students great fun. First, teachers tell the students what vegetables to grow (生长，种植)—like tomatoes, carrots, or green beans. Then, they work together. It’s great to watch the young plants grow day by day. Picking a fresh tomato and eating it in the garden is a special joy. That’s why many students say gardening is their favourite activity. Gardening teaches students a lot. Some vegetables grow fast, but others need a long time. This can teach students patience. They learn to wait and watch their plants grow slowly. Gardening also teaches students life skills. In the garden, kids learn how to work as a team. In a word, school gardening not only brings students fun but also teaches them knowledge (知识) that they can’t learn from books. Let’s enjoy gardening together! 1．What can be put in the ? A．Teachers like teaching students to grow plants. B．Eating vegetables is good for students. C．It’s not easy to keep school gardening going. D．Students are interested in gardening. 2．Why do many students like gardening best? A．Because of the special joy it brings. B．Because of the teamwork. C．Because they can watch plants grow. D．Because they can work outdoors. 3．What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “patience” in Paragraph 3? A．自信 B．耐心 C．勇气 D．知识 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Ways to Grow Vegetables B．Gardens and Healthy Eating C．Building a School Garden D．Gardening—A New School Subject 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述学校园艺成为学生新学科，能带来乐趣，还教会学生耐心、团队合作等书本上学不到的知识与技能。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“But some teachers are finding good ways to make it work.”可知，但一些老师正在找到让它顺利开展的好方法，由此可推出，前文应提及学校园艺开展存在困难。C选项“维持学校园艺开展并不容易。”符合语境。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Picking a fresh tomato and eating it in the garden is a special joy. That’s why many students say gardening is their favourite activity.”可知，采摘新鲜番茄在花园里是一种特别的乐趣，这就是很多学生喜欢园艺的原因。由此可知，学生喜欢园艺是因为它带来的“special joy”。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据第三段“Some vegetables grow fast, but others need a long time. This can teach students patience. They learn to wait and watch their plants grow slowly.”可知，有些蔬菜长得快，但是有些需要很长的时间，这能教会学生patience，他们学会等待、看着植物慢慢生长。结合“等待、慢生长”的语境，可推断patience意为“耐心”。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。文章开篇提到“they are becoming more interested in a new subject—school gardening”，后文围绕学校园艺的开展、意义展开，核心主题是“学校园艺作为一门新学科”，因此标题应突出“新学科”与“园艺”的关联。故选D。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期中复习之阅读理解说明文15篇 （江苏专用） Here is good news (消息) for students in Guiyang, Guizhou.

Elephants also sleep in a group, but they sleep in groups for protection. The larger elephants make a circle around the younger elephants. The larger elephants sleep standing up, while the younger ones lie down to sleep. Some animals sleep in trees. Birds will lock their feet onto a branch to keep from falling out of the tree. Other animals, like squirrels, make nests (筑巢) in the trees to sleep in. Most animals look for dry places to sleep. However, ducks often sleep in water. So do sea otters. They hold hands when they sleep in groups to keep from floating away. Most animals lie down to sleep. However, some large animals, like horses, can sleep standing up. The flamingo sleeps standing on just one leg. Most animals sleep at night, but some animals are nocturnal. Nocturnal animals sleep during the day. Bats and owls are nocturnal animals.

It gives readers a new place to read in a natural environment. The library is known as Read & Joy Forest. It is in a green area near Shanghai Library East. Readers can take a relaxing walk in the forest with different kinds of trees. “I learned about the forest library from my friends, so I came here,” said a student named Wang Bin. “The green outdoor environment is good for my eyes. I will come back for sure.” “Having a library in the forest is an extension of reading indoors,” said Xu Qiang, head of Shanghai Library. “Readers can read books there, having a good time.” Most of the visitors to the forest library are young people and parents with their children. They read carefully or walk around in the forest. “I am really happy with the fresh air and the smells of the trees here. I’ve spent the whole morning indoors, and want to get some fresh air. I feel very relaxed here.” said one reader. 1．What’s the Chinese meaning of “extension” in Paragraph 4? A．视野 B．方法 C．延伸 D．范围 2．What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph?

Feynman shares his thoughts on life in an easy and honest way through many fun stories. Feynman loved learning new things so much. He always wanted to know more. You may think a great scientist only cares about science, right? But Feynman liked asking questions and wanted to learn about everything. He showed an interest in painting and even held his own art show. He also joined a Brazilian bongo band (巴西邦戈乐队) and played with its members. The list goes on and on! This made me think: We should be passionate about our work, but we should also try new hobbies. I learned another lesson from Feynman’s science studies. That is to never just trust someone else’s data (数据). Every time he did a science test, he would check the numbers himself, even if (即便) others had shared them elsewhere. We often need to learn from the work of others. When their results are wrong, however, we will be misled (误导). So, we should never believe any information without thinking. Feynman, I think, was a true scientist and a lover of life. He is no longer with us, but his work will still help many people. 1．Which hobby of Feynman’s is mentioned (提及) in the passage? A．Writing science books. B．Painting and playing music. C．Checking science data himself. D．Teaching physics. 2．What does the underlined word “passionate” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese? A．疲惫的 B．敷衍的 C．主动的 D．热情的 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Feynman cared about science and had no other hobbies. B．The writer thinks people should not spend time on new hobbies. C．People can get great ideas about work and life by reading this book. D．We can trust the data if others have shared it elsewhere. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．An Interesting Book About Science B．Richard Feynman: A Scientist Who Loved Life C．Richard Feynman’s Hobbies D．How to Be Like Feynman Do you have a sleeping problem? Then you may need to see more sunlight, especially in the morning, a new study says. A team of researchers (研究人员) from New York, US did the study, reported Yahoo news. The team did a study on 109 office workers across the US. They found that some of the workers saw lots of light during the morning hours, between 8 am and lunchtime. They found that they had a better sleep than others. They also fell asleep more quickly at night. Why is sunlight so important to your sleep? Researchers say it helps set your “body clock”. When there is less and less sunlight at the close of the day, your body starts to make melatonin (褪黑素). It makes you feel sleepy. Your body makes the most melatonin at night. During the day, sunlight tells your body to make less melatonin, which keeps you awake. Researchers suggest we see 15 minutes of sunlight in the morning. It can help balance (平衡) the melatonin in our body. 1．The passage mainly tells us ________. A．why people have a sleeping problem B．the team of researchers is from US C．sunlight can help people sleep D．how we can get sunlight 2．If Jack has lots of sunlight during the morning hours, he can ________. A．feel warm and fall asleep slowly B．sleep better and fall asleep more quickly at night C．feel tired and have a better sleep D．sleep well and sleep for a short time 3．The underlined word “awake” means “________” in Chinese.

C．Less sunlight can help bodies make less melatonin. D．To help balance the melatonin, seeing 15 minutes of sunlight is OK. ①Friends are very important to us. Do you have many friends? If you have many, you’re lucky. If you have a few good friends, you’re lucky. Our best friends can make our lives richer. They can teach us things. They can also challenge us to be better people. ②Good friends can help us stay healthy, too. When we are sick, they often take care of us. Without friends, we feel lonely. Loneliness (孤独) can be as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes (香烟) a day. So, build up your circle of friends and keep them close. ③Good friends make us more confident (自信). Sometimes we feel bad and have doubts about ourselves. When you feel this way, go to your friends. They’ll be there to make you happy. They will let you know how amazing you are. ④Good friends make us be better people. They challenge us to do better and be better. What’s more, a friend’s good qualities can influence us.

Now let me tell you something about the English Week. During the English Week, our school held lots of activities, including a handwriting competition (比赛), a story-telling competition and an English show. All the teachers and students could take part in them. The handwriting competition was for the students in Grade 7. Most of us couldn’t write very well. However, we were very careful when we were writing. This September, I got first prize in this competition! The story-telling competition is for the students in higher grades, such as Grade 8 and Grade 9. They usually have a very good imagination (想象力), so they get interested in this activity. The most important event was the English show at the end of the English Week. The students and teachers sang a lot of English songs and put on some famous English plays. We all enjoyed them so much. The English Week is not long, but all the students and the teachers could learn a lot. We hope the next English Week will come soon! 1．How many kinds of activities were there during the English Week? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 2．The writer of this passage was probably ________. A．a Grade 7 student. B．a Grade 8 student. C．a Grade 9 student. D．a teacher. 3．What do the students think of the English Week? A．It is too long. B．It helps them learn much. C．It should include more activities. D．It makes them tired but happy. Do you really know what cooking is? Now, primary students learn cooking at school. Teachers and parents talk about it a lot. Some say that it is useful, but others think that it is not. Here is the thing about cooking. Cooking is a way of learning. When students learn about foods around the world and the stories behind the dishes, they are parts of the world. They learn history and culture in a new way. When making sandwiches, they put 2 pieces of bread on the plate and see that vegetables stay fresh (新鲜的) longer if they’re not cut too early, they learn science. Cooking classes show students that they can learn from the mistakes. Li Mei learned this when she cooked her first cake badly in class. Her teacher said, “Don’t worry. Mistakes help us learn.” They talked about it together and found the mistakes. Then Li Mei cooked a cake again carefully. Her new cake came out perfect! Cooking makes students work with classmates. In a cooking class, students work together. Everyone has a job and they help each other. When groups work well, the food tastes better! Cooking shows that teamwork makes things easier and more fun. 1．How does the writer begin this passage? A．By giving an idea. B．By asking a question. C．By introducing himself.

But how can you take up the right hobby? Here is some advice (建议). ②What are your interests? What do you want to try? For example, Tom likes spending time outdoors. And he can try something like bird watching, fishing and so on. What do you like doing for fun? Think about it. ③Do you have targets (目标) for your hobby? Do you just look for something to kill time or do you want to turn it into your job one day? Do you hope to make your skills better? Or do you try to make new friends? Think about what you want to get from your hobby. ④Is your hobby healthy? Hobbies like playing video games or watching soap operas (肥皂剧) are not very healthy. You need to sit in one place for a long time and always look at the screen. That’s just bad for your body. So please choose healthy hobbies. ⑤Many students have hobbies, such as bird watching, paper cutting and growing vegetables. Some hobbies can take them much time. But if you take up your hobbies carefully, you will learn new skills, develop (培养) your interests and grow as a better person. 1．Which activity may Tom try according to Paragraph 2?

A． B． C． D． How can you remember a song for a long time? Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English? There is a reason (原因) for this. Scientists are studying something between music and remembering a foreign (外国的) language, like English. “Singing could be a new way of learning, especially for learning a foreign language. The brain (大脑) likes to remember things in a catchy and relaxing way. For example, children can remember difficult words quickly when they are in a song,” said Dr Karen Ludke. If children find it difficult to learn foreign languages, this new way may help. On her blog, Dr Ludke wrote, “A listen-and-repeat (重复) singing way can help to learn foreign languages and open the door for future study in this area.” Many language teachers know the importance of music and often use it in teaching and learning. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington D．C．, likes using songs in teaching Chinese. She said, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids, we usually use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics (歌词). It works, and it is fun for children.” “Sometimes I think if I had learnt English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better,” Hua Zhuying said. Our brain likes music in learning languages, especially for remembering. If you are still having problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out? 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving examples. B．By telling a story. C．By showing numbers. D．By asking questions. 2．What does the underlined word “catchy” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Easy to remember. B．Fast to read.

C．She teaches little children Chinese lyrics with English songs. D．She teaches Chinese in an English language school in Washington D．C．． 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Learning foreign languages can open the door for future. B．It’s helpful for children to learn foreign languages in music. C．Teachers should have some special ways to teach students. D．Languages help when we have problems in singing foreign songs. Many kids go camping during the summer. They often start to camp in the morning and go home in the afternoon. That is called day camp. Nowadays, another kind of camp, sleep-away camp, is becoming popular with kids. It’s called a sleep-away camp because they stay overnight (过夜) there. It’s a kind of vacation for kids, but without their parents. Kids usually spend a week staying at a sleep-away camp. It offers much more excitement because they’ll be there all day and night, eating their meals, playing games and communicating with others. They will sleep in a cabin (小屋) with the other kids attending the camp. They have to share the bathroom with the other kids. If you go to a sleep-away camp for the first time, you’ll feel excited and maybe a little nervous. Be proud of yourself for being old enough to go camping. It is a chance to try new things.

Su Yongjian, from Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School, started taking a school bus to school this September. The school bus looks like a tourist bus. It takes Su about 40 minutes to get to school. “It’s more convenient (方便的) than the subway. It saves a lot of time,” the 12-year-old said. “Today, school buses are becoming more welcome in China. In Chongqing, there will be 3,000 yellow school buses on the road by the end of this year,” said Xinhua News Agency. In the US, yellow school buses are a usual way for children to get to school. Yellow became the color of school buses in 1939. The color helps warn (告诫) other cars. Black letters on a yellow bus are easy to see in the early morning. There are about 480,000 school buses in the country, according to the American School Bus Council. But there are not many school buses in the UK. Students from public schools usually walk or take buses or the subway to school. There are some school buses in private (私营的) schools, but they are not yellow. In Japan the school districts (校区) are small in cities. So children don’t need to use school buses. They usually walk to school. Some students living in rural (乡村的) areas go to school by bus or train. In some places where the weather is bad, such as Iceland, children go to school in a special car. The car looks like a jeep. It can drive over thick ice. And, on the islands next to Washington State in the US, some kids even take a boat to school. 1．Why does Su Yongjian take a school bus to school this September?

But we can do some reading by ear, too. With the development (发展) of smartphones, it’s getting easier to do some reading with ears—by listening to stories, news, novels, and so on. This is audio (音频) reading. ②Many people like doing audio reading in bed before going to sleep. They like to just lie in bed in the darkness before they fall asleep. This would be the perfect time to do some audio reading. If you read an ordinary book, you have to turn on the lights, and you have to turn the pages with your hand. ③Some other people would like to do audio reading in the kitchen. For some people, it’s boring to cook. So they can enjoy their time by listening to the news or stories. For some others, it’s interesting to cook by listening to instructions made by famous cooks. ④Audio reading is a favorite while a person is exercising. It allows the mind to be free while legs, body, and arms are kept busy. But be careful. Don’t put yourself and others in danger. Let’s take driving, for example. If you pay much attention to listening, you can’t be a good driver. ⑤Finally, audio reading is helpful for blind people. It was difficult for them to read in the past.

Students learn it outside the classroom in the fresh air! But some teachers are finding good ways to make it work. The school garden may be very small, but even a small garden can bring students great fun. First, teachers tell the students what vegetables to grow (生长，种植)—like tomatoes, carrots, or green beans. Then, they work together. It’s great to watch the young plants grow day by day. Picking a fresh tomato and eating it in the garden is a special joy. That’s why many students say gardening is their favourite activity. Gardening teaches students a lot. Some vegetables grow fast, but others need a long time. This can teach students patience. They learn to wait and watch their plants grow slowly. Gardening also teaches students life skills. In the garden, kids learn how to work as a team. In a word, school gardening not only brings students fun but also teaches them knowledge (知识) that they can’t learn from books. Let’s enjoy gardening together! 1．What can be put in the ?
