Nowadays, more and more people believe that environmental protection should start with children. Schools play an important role in teaching students to protect the environment.
First, schools can set up environmental clubs. These clubs can organize different activities, such as picking up rubbish in the park, planting trees and saving electricity at school. When students take part in these activities, they will learn to care more about the environment.
Second, schools can add more lessons about environment. Students can learn about pollution, climate change and wildlife protection. They will know why environmental protection is important and what they can do to help.
Third, schools can set good examples for students. For example, schools can use solar energy to make electricity. They can also use paper bags instead of plastic bags in the school shop. When students see these things, they will follow the examples.

How can you remember a song from your childhood to this day? Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English? It seems there is a scientific reason for this.
Researchers are now studying the relationship (关系) between music and remembering a foreign language.
“Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language. The brain (大脑) likes to remember things when they are used in a catchy and meaningful way. For example, kids can learn difficult words quickly when they are put in a song.” said Dr. Karen. The findings may help those who have trouble learning foreign languages. On his blog, Dr. Ludke writes, “A listen-and-repeat singing way can support foreign language learning and opens the door for future research (研究) in this area.”
Many language teachers know the importance of using music and singing. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in the USA uses songs to teach Chinese. She says, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for kids.”
“Sometimes I think if I learned English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak much better English than now.” Hua Zhuying adds.
Our brain likes music, especially (尤其) for remembering. So if you are still having trouble learning a language, why not try singing it out?
18.According to the passage, the best way to remember a foreign language is to ________.
A.remember the words in a song B.read more and write more
C.copy the words many times D.listen to the teacher carefully
19.The underlined word “catchy” probably means “________”.
A.困难的 B.无聊的 C.放松的 D.容易记住的
20.Dr. Ludke believes that one can learn a foreign language by ________.
A.reading the words again and again B.using a listen-and-repeat singing way
C.writing songs with the language D.listening to all kinds of famous music
21.The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A.many researchers realize the importance of language learning
B.many language teachers know the importance of famous music
C.your brain remembers a language better if you sing it
D.you will never learn a language well if you can not sing
【答案】18.A 19.D 20.B 21.C
【导语】本文讲述用歌唱的方式来学习外语。
18.推理判断题。根据“Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language.”及“Our brain likes music, especially (尤其) for remembering. So if you are still having trouble learning a language, why not try singing it out?”可知,根据这篇文章,记住一门外语的最好方法是记住一首歌中的单词。故选A。
19.词义猜测题。根据“The brain (大脑) likes to remember things when they are used in a catchy and meaningful way. For example, kids can learn difficult words quickly when they are put in a song.”可知,孩子们通过学习一首歌,他们可以快速学习难词,此处“catchy”和“meaningful”并列,结合选项,D选项“容易记住的”符合,故选D。
20.细节理解题。题目问的是Dr. Ludke的观点。根据第一段末尾Dr. Ludke在博客中的话“A listen-and-repeat singing way can support foreign language learning and opens the door for future research (研究) in this area.”可知,他认为“听——重复”的唱歌方式有助于外语学习,B项符合。A项“一遍遍读单词”文中没有依据;C项“用这门语言写歌”属过度引申——Dr. Karen只是说把单词放进歌里孩子记得快(kids can learn difficult words quickly when they are put in a song),并没有提出“用目标语创作歌曲”这种学习方法;D项“听各种著名音乐”文中亦未提及。故选B。
21.主旨大意题。根据“Our brain likes music, especially (尤其) for remembering. So if you are still having trouble learning a language, why not try singing it out?”及全文可知, 通篇讲述通过唱歌方法更容易记忆语言的信息,故选C。
D
What’s DIY exactly? It stands for “Do-It-Yourself”. DIY began in the 1960s in the West. In Western countries, it was very expensive for people to pay someone to repair or decorate their house.

【导语】本文主要介绍了一种DIY健康饮品。
26.根据空后“We can get a sense of satisfaction from DIY. For example, when we make drinks or foods by ourselves, we can become happy and healthy.”可知,空处既要承接上文“DIY带来乐趣和技能”,又要引出下文“自己做饮料食物、变得快乐健康”这一生活方式层面的内容。选项A“它能帮助人们拥有不同的生活方式”既承接前文DIY的优势,又自然引出后文健康生活方式的相关内容,逻辑衔接通顺。G项“许多人喜欢在网上与朋友分享他们的DIY作品”说的是“分享作品”,与后文“自己动手制作饮料食物获得快乐”的例子不匹配,且“在网上分享”在后续内容中没有任何呼应,故排除。故选A。
27.根据“Here is a kind of drink to help you.”可知,此处应该是对饮料的简要描述或过渡。选项B“它容易制作且味道好”符合语境。故选B。

30.根据“It’s a good idea to have half a cup of it daily ...”可知,空前是饮用建议,此处可能是关于饮料的好处或总结。选项F“这种饮料美味且对健康有益”符合语境。故选F。

cultural
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了苏州方言(苏州闲话)的归属、历史、发音特点、语法结构及文化内涵。
39.句意:苏州方言,也被称为“苏州闲话”,是吴语的一种。be known as意为“被称为”,此处过去分词known作后置定语修饰“Suzhou dialect”,表示被动关系。

42.句意:苏州方言的语法结构也很特殊。grammatical structure意为“语法结构”,此处形容词grammatical修饰名词structure。
43.句意:苏州方言中的一些常用短语,如“naihao”、“zao a”,也反映了当地的文化特点。此处修饰名词characteristics,需用形容词形式,culture的形容词为cultural,意为“文化特点”。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了DIY在英国非常受欢迎的原因,以及做DIY时可能产生的危险。
44.句意:如果家里有什么需要修理的东西,比如油漆墙壁或者架起一个新的架子,他们会自己动手。homes是名词复数应该用形容词性物主代词修饰。they的形容词性物主代词为their。故填their。
45.句意:如果家里有什么需要修理的东西,比如油漆墙壁或者架起一个新的架子,他们会自己动手。as为介词,后接动词paint的ing形式。故填painting。

48.句意:他们正在考虑如何在不花很多钱的情况下使他们的房子变得更好。without为介词,介词后接动词spend的ing形式。故填spending。
49.句意:DIY如此受欢迎并不奇怪。本句为主语从句,应该用“It is+adj.+that从句”的句型,此处形容物,应该用surprise的形容词surprising。故填surprising。
50.句意:然而,如果你不小心,DIY可能是危险的。be动词后应该用形容词形式,结合句意,可知应该指的是“不小心的”。care的否定形容词为careless。故填careless。
51.句意:DIY可以给我们带来很多乐趣,帮助我们节省一些钱,但如果我们做一些困难的事情,它并不总是像我们认为的那样容易。根据“it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we do something difficult.”可知,此处表示转折,用but连接。故填but。
52.句意:也许工厂应该制造出更容易、更安全的东西来给我们DIY。此处缺主语,这里指的不只是一家工厂,所以应该用名词复数,factory变为factories。故填factories。

Hands-on Fun: Making a DIY Photo Frame
Last weekend, I decided to make a DIY photo frame (框). I thought it would be a great way to add a personal touch to my room.
First, I gathered all the materials I needed, including some wooden sticks, glue, scissors, and colorful crayons. I started by cutting the wooden sticks into the right lengths to form the frame. However, it wasn’t as easy as I thought. The sticks kept splitting when I cut them. I was a bit impatient, but I didn’t give up. I adjusted (调整) the way I held the scissors and tried again. Finally, I got all the pieces cut.
Next, I glued the sticks together to form the frame. While waiting for the glue to dry, I used the crayons to draw some cute patterns on the frame. When I picked up the frame, the corners came apart because the glue wasn’t strong enough. I had to re-glue them and hold them tightly for a while.
After several attempts (尝试), my DIY photo frame was finally done. I put a beautiful photo of my family inside. Looking at the finished frame, I felt a great sense of success. This hands-on experience taught me that making something with my own hands can be full of challenges, but the joy of creating is truly worth it.
54.What problem did the writer meet when cutting the wooden sticks for the photo frame?
55.Why did the writer re-glue the corners?
56.How did the writer feel after finishing the DIY photo frame?
【答案】54.The sticks kept splitting. 55.Because the corners came apart./Because the glue wasn’t strong enough. 56.(The writer felt) a great sense of success./Successful./Proud.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,作者详细记录了自己动手制作一个DIY相框的过程,包括遇到的困难、解决的方法以及完成后的成就感。
54.根据“The sticks kept splitting when I cut them.”可知,作者在切割相框时遇到的问题是木棒容易裂开。故填The sticks kept splitting.
55.根据“When I picked up the frame, the corners came apart because the glue wasn’t strong enough. I had to re-glue them...”可知,作者重新粘合边角的原因是胶水不够牢固,边角散开了。故填Because the corners came apart./Because the glue wasn’t strong enough.
56.根据“Looking at the finished frame, I felt a great sense of success.”可知,作者在完成DIY相框后感到非常有成就感。故填(The writer felt) a great sense of success./Successful./Proud.

Dear Frank,
I am glad to write back to you.
Firstly, my school life is busy but interesting. I have seven classes a day, and my favorite subject is science because it helps me understand the world better.
I like DIY because it allows me to create useful things by myself. Last month, I made a small wooden shelf for my books. It was challenging but fun!
To improve your Chinese, I suggest you listen to Chinese songs and watch movies with subtitles. Practicing with native speakers also helps a lot.
Hope this advice is useful!
Best wishes,
Li Ming

Nowadays, more and more people believe that environmental protection should start with children. Schools play an important role in teaching students to protect the environment.
First, schools can set up environmental clubs. These clubs can organize different activities, such as picking up rubbish in the park, planting trees and saving electricity at school. When students take part in these activities, they will learn to care more about the environment.
Second, schools can add more lessons about environment. Students can learn about pollution, climate change and wildlife protection. They will know why environmental protection is important and what they can do to help.
Third, schools can set good examples for students. For example, schools can use solar energy to make electricity. They can also use paper bags instead of plastic bags in the school shop. When students see these things, they will follow the examples.
Environmental protection is a long-term task. It needs everyone’s effort. Starting from school is a good way to build a greener future for all of us.
14.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.How to set up environmental clubs.
B.Why schools are important for environmental education.

How can you remember a song from your childhood to this day? Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English? It seems there is a scientific reason for this.
Researchers are now studying the relationship (关系) between music and remembering a foreign language.
“Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language. The brain (大脑) likes to remember things when they are used in a catchy and meaningful way. For example, kids can learn difficult words quickly when they are put in a song.” said Dr. Karen. The findings may help those who have trouble learning foreign languages. On his blog, Dr. Ludke writes, “A listen-and-repeat singing way can support foreign language learning and opens the door for future research (研究) in this area.”
Many language teachers know the importance of using music and singing. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in the USA uses songs to teach Chinese. She says, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for kids.”
“Sometimes I think if I learned English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak much better English than now.” Hua Zhuying adds.
Our brain likes music, especially (尤其) for remembering. So if you are still having trouble learning a language, why not try singing it out?
18.According to the passage, the best way to remember a foreign language is to ________.
A.remember the words in a song B.read more and write more
C.copy the words many times D.listen to the teacher carefully
19.The underlined word “catchy” probably means “________”.
A.困难的 B.无聊的 C.放松的 D.容易记住的
20.Dr. Ludke believes that one can learn a foreign language by ________.
A.reading the words again and again B.using a listen-and-repeat singing way
C.writing songs with the language D.listening to all kinds of famous music
21.The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A.many researchers realize the importance of language learning
B.many language teachers know the importance of famous music
C.your brain remembers a language better if you sing it
D.you will never learn a language well if you can not sing
D
What’s DIY exactly? It stands for “Do-It-Yourself”. DIY began in the 1960s in the West. In Western countries, it was very expensive for people to pay someone to repair or decorate their house.

Hands-on Fun: Making a DIY Photo Frame

However, it wasn’t as easy as I thought. The sticks kept splitting when I cut them. I was a bit impatient, but I didn’t give up. I adjusted (调整) the way I held the scissors and tried again. Finally, I got all the pieces cut.

After several attempts (尝试), my DIY photo frame was finally done. I put a beautiful photo of my family inside. Looking at the finished frame, I felt a great sense of success. This hands-on experience taught me that making something with my own hands can be full of challenges, but the joy of creating is truly worth it.
