Units1-4六选五阅读期中练习 Unit 1 Friendship Passage 1(Online friends) Many teenagers enjoy making friends online. It is easy to share feelings with people far away. 1 Some risks are easy to ignore if we are not careful enough. First, never give your personal information to your online friends. Your address, phone number or school name should stay secret. 2 Second, keep a slow pace. Do not meet an online friend alone. If you really plan to meet, ask your parent to go with you and choose a public place. 3 Real friends respect your boundaries. If someone pushes you to hide things from your family, stop talking with him or her. Remember: online friendship can be nice, but it cannot take the place of your real-life friends around you. 4 You can talk with your parents or teachers when you feel confused. They have more experience and can give useful advice. Finally, learn to walk away. 5 You do not have to keep a friendship that makes you worried or uncomfortable. A. It is also important to set clear boundaries. B. However, online friendship is not always safe. C. Not everyone you meet online is honest and kind. D. It is fine to stop chatting if you feel strange or nervous. E. You should share your secrets freely with your online friends. F. They can help you tell whether the online friend is proper or not. Passage 2(Praise between friends) Most of us like getting praise, but few of us are good at praising our friends. Good praise is one of the simplest gifts in friendship. 1 It makes the other person feel seen and valued. Praise does not need big fancy words. You can notice small things. For example, you can tell your friend that you like the way he listens patiently when you are upset. 2 True praise focuses on effort, not only final results. If your friend tries hard but fails a test, you can praise his hard work instead of keeping silent. 3 Do not praise others just for getting something from them. False praise is easy to find out and will hurt your friendship. 4 When your friend praises you, accept it politely instead of saying “No, I’m not good at it.” Praise works both ways. 5 Little warm words build a closer and longer-lasting friendship. A. But praise should always be honest and sincere. B. It helps light up your friend’s bad day quickly. C. You can also praise him for his courage to keep trying. D. We all love to be appreciated. E. It is also a good skill to receive praise well. F. We should never praise our friends too much. Unit 2 School life Passage 1(Noon break at school) A good noon break is necessary for middle school students. It helps our brains rest after busy morning lessons. 1 But many students do not use this time in a wise way. Some students keep doing homework all through the break. They think finishing homework early saves time later. 2 Without proper rest, they will feel sleepy in afternoon classes and take in less new knowledge. Some other students run and shout everywhere during the break. They get too excited and cannot calm down quickly for the next lesson. 3 A short sleep of 20 minutes works best for most students. If you cannot fall asleep, quiet reading or slow walking is also OK. 4 Stay away from noisy games and long phone use. Schools also try to make the noon break better. They set quiet rules and prepare safe rest areas. 5 When we make good use of noon time, we will stay more energetic for the rest of the school day. A. It gives us energy for afternoon study. B. This habit is actually bad for their study. C. We need to choose calm activities during the break. D. Most students should spend all break doing exercises. E. It is important for students to learn how to relax properly. F. Teachers remind us not to make too much noise in the hallways. Passage 2(Stress in school) Many students feel stressed during their school days. Too much stress can make us tired and worried. 1 We need to know where stress comes from and how to deal with it. School stress may come from different sides. Some worry about their grades and class competition. Some feel nervous when they have to speak in front of the whole class. 2 They are afraid that their classmates will not accept them. Stress itself is not all bad. A little stress pushes us to prepare well for tests and challenges. 3 Too much stress stops us from thinking clearly. Talking is a great way to release stress. You can talk to your best friend, your teacher or your parents. 4 Besides, simple sports like running or jumping can also help you cool down. 5 Take one small step at a time instead of thinking about all difficult things together. You do not need to be perfect all the time. A. Others feel stressed about getting on with classmates. B. However, too much stress brings trouble to us. C. It is normal for students to feel stressed sometimes. D. They can listen to you and help you work out plans. E. We should never tell others about our stress. F. Try to break big worries into smaller ones. Unit 3 To be a good learner Passage 1(Taking reading notes) Reading is a key part of learning, but many students read without taking notes. 1 Good reading notes help us remember ideas and think deeper about the text. You do not need to write down every sentence. That takes too much time. 2 You can write down new words, main ideas and your own questions. When you meet a sentence you agree with or disagree with, write your thoughts beside it. 3 You can use marks like circles or stars to highlight important parts. Different marks can mean different things. But do not fill the whole book with marks, or you cannot find the key points easily later. After reading, spend a few minutes reviewing your notes. 4 This step connects new knowledge with what you have already learnt. Taking notes is a skill. 5 Slowly, you will find yourself understanding texts much better. A. You can make your notes clear with simple marks. B. They quickly forget what they have read soon after. C. You should copy every word from the book carefully. D. Try to connect the ideas in your notes with old knowledge. E. It takes time and practice to do it well. F. It is a useful habit for every learner. Passage 2(Mistakes in language learning) Many learners are afraid of making mistakes when they learn a new language. They worry that others will laugh at them. 1 In fact, mistakes are valuable for language learners. Mistakes show us exactly what we have not mastered yet. If you often mix up two tenses, the mistake tells you that you need to practise this grammar point more. 2 If you never open your mouth, you will never find your weak points. 3 When you make a mistake, do not just feel upset. Ask your teacher or partner to tell you the correct way. Write down the mistake and review it often. Some students wait until they are “perfect” before they speak. 4 Language is a tool for communication, not a test without any mistakes. 5 Accept mistakes, learn from them and keep practising. That is the right way to become a confident language learner. A. This idea stops them from speaking out. B. But perfection never comes. C. We should hide our mistakes and never let others see them. D. The most important thing is to learn from each mistake. E. You cannot improve without trying and making mistakes. F. Mistakes are part of learning. Unit 4 Hands-on fun Passage 1(Upcycling for the community) Upcycling means turning old useless things into new useful objects. It is a popular hands-on activity these days. 1 It also helps cut down waste and protect the environment. Our class started an upcycling project for our community last month. We collected old cardboard boxes, glass bottles and used cloth from neighbours. 2 Some students turned clean bottles into flower vases. Others made storage boxes out of cardboard. 3 We put our works in the community hall for a small show. Neighbours came to look around. Some of them joined us and learnt simple upcycling skills. One grandma told us that she would start saving old bottles at home. 4 We felt so proud that our small DIY work could influence people around us. Hands-on work is not only for fun. 5 We can bring warm changes to our neighbourhood with our own hands. A. It lets us create new things with low cost. B. Then we planned what to make with these materials. C. We threw away all the old things we collected at last. D. It also teaches us to care about our community. E. We invited people to come and enjoy our works. F. She said she would make small gifts for her grandchildren. Passage 2(Safety rules for DIY) DIY brings great fun, but safety always comes first. Some tools are sharp or heavy. 1 A small careless mistake may lead to cuts or other hurt. First, read all instructions carefully before you start. 2 If you do not understand one step, ask an adult for help instead of guessing. Second, use the right tool for the job. Do not use a knife to cut something hard that it is not made for. 3 Keep your fingers away from the cutting line all the time. Third, keep your workspace tidy. Messy tables with loose tools make accidents much easier to happen. 4 After you finish, clean up and put all tools back in their places. 5 Never do difficult DIY work alone. Having a parent or teacher nearby keeps you safe when unexpected problems appear. A. It is dangerous to use tools in wrong ways. B. Do not skip steps even if you think it looks easy. C. You can try all new tools without reading rules. D. Clear space helps you see everything clearly. E. Last but not least, work with an adult nearby. F. Slow down and stay careful while you cut things.
