Have you ever been unable to learn about something because you speak only English? Do not feel limited (受限的) because English is a great foundation (基础) for learning Swedish. Learning a bit of Swedish will help you discover more about Sweden’s rich culture, fascinating history and beautiful land. Many words sound the same in Swedish and English. Even without a lesson, you already know several Swedish words. For example, “man” and “person” are the same in both languages. Not only are there many similar words, but some words are so close that you can know them at once. For example, “fish” in Swedish is only a one-letter change to “fisk”. “Room” is an easy change to “rum”. The similarities between English and Swedish go deeper than just words that look alike. English grammar and Swedish grammar are also very similar, which is helpful when you are using verbs. Swedish also uses the Roman alphabet (字母表), so you already know the Swedish ABCs. The only difference is three more letters—a, å, ö—found at the end of the Swedish alphabet. Swedes are not very dramatic (情绪化的), so you will not hear a Swede saying something like “How sad you missed the bus!”or“That test was a killer.”Also, keep your hands to yourself because body language is uncommon. Usually, it is easy for beginners to be understood even if they mispronounce words, and you will be learning a language that is a stepping-stone toward understanding a beautiful culture and land. 49. How many letters are there in the Swedish alphabet? A. Twenty B. Twenty-three C. Twenty-six D. Twenty-nine 50. Which of the following can you seldom see or hear in Sweden? a. People express thanks to those who have helped them. b. Teachers hold students’ hands when talking to them. c. Passengers joke how sad they missed the bus. d. Students make fun of the bad results of their math test. A. abc B. bcd C. acd D. abd 51. What can we know from the passage? A. Swedish is easier to learn than English. B. A number of Swedish words are pronounced the same. C. Swedes are good at guessing the meanings of the words. D. Good Swedish learners can understand Swedish culture better. 【参考答案】 D B D 【答案解析】 1. 答案 D 定位段落：第三段 定位句：Swedish also uses the Roman alphabet (字母表), so you already know the Swedish ABCs. The only difference is three more letters—a, å, ö—found at the end of the Swedish alphabet. 定位句翻译：瑞典语也使用罗马字母表，所以你已经认识瑞典语的字母了。唯一的不同是多了三个字母 ——a, å, ö，放在瑞典语字母表末尾。 解析：英语罗马字母一共 26 个，再加 3 个，一共 29 个。 选项 A. Twenty 二十个 ✘ 选项 B. Twenty-three 二十三个 ✘ 选项 C. Twenty-six 二十六个 ✘ 选项 D. Twenty-nine 二十九个 ✔ 2. 答案 B 定位段落：第四段 定位句：Swedes are not very dramatic (情绪化的), so you will not hear a Swede saying something like “How sad you missed the bus!” or “That test was a killer.” Also, keep your hands to yourself because body language is uncommon. 定位句翻译：瑞典人不太情绪化，所以你不会听到瑞典人说类似 “你错过了公交车好可惜！” 或者 “那场考试太难了” 这样的话。另外，不要随意触碰别人，肢体语言并不常见。 a. People express thanks to those who have helped them. 人们向帮助自己的人表达感谢。文中没有说这种情况少见。 b. Teachers hold students’ hands when talking to them. 老师和学生交谈时牵着学生的手。肢体接触类肢体语言少见，很少看到。 c. Passengers joke how sad they missed the bus. 乘客开玩笑说错过公交车很可惜。原文明确说不会听到这类表达。 d. Students make fun of the bad results of their math test. 学生拿糟糕的数学考试成绩调侃。对应 “That test was a killer.” 这类情绪化感叹，瑞典很少见。 所以 b c d 都是在瑞典很少看见或听见的，选 B。 选项 A. abc ✘ 选项 B. bcd ✔ 选项 C. acd ✘ 选项 D. abd ✘ 3. 答案 D 定位段落：第五段 定位句：Usually, it is easy for beginners to be understood even if they mispronounce words, and you will be learning a language that is a stepping-stone toward understanding a beautiful culture and land. 定位句翻译：通常初学者就算发音有误，也容易被听懂，你学习这门语言，它是理解美好文化与这片土地的一块垫脚石。 选项 A. Swedish is easier to learn than English. 瑞典语比英语更容易学 ✘ 文中只说两者有很多相似点，没有对比谁更简单。 选项 B. A number of Swedish words are pronounced the same. 许多瑞典单词发音相同 ✘ 原文第二段是 Many words sound the same in Swedish and English，是瑞典语和英语单词发音相同，不是瑞典语内部单词。 选项 C. Swedes are good at guessing the meanings of the words. 瑞典人擅长猜测单词含义 ✘ 文中无相关信息。 选项 D. Good Swedish learners can understand Swedish culture better. 学好瑞典语的人可以更好理解瑞典文化 ✔ 学瑞典语是了解瑞典文化的跳板，符合文意。 C The little prince walked through a large garden full of roses. All of them looked exactly like his own flower. He felt very sad. “I thought my rose was the only one in the whole world,” he said to himself. “But there are five thousand of them, all the same, in just one garden.” He lay down in the grass and cried. Then a fox appeared. “Come and play with me,” the little prince said. “I am so unhappy.” “I cannot play with you,” the fox answered. “I am not tamed.” “What does ‘tame’ mean?” asked the little prince. “It means ‘to create ties’,” the fox said. “To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy, just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I am nothing more than a fox, like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. You will be unique to me, and I shall be unique to you.” The fox went on. “You see the wheat fields over there? I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields say nothing to me. That is sad. But you have golden hair. Once you have tamed me, it will be wonderful. The wheat, which is golden, will bring me the thought of you. I will learn to love the sound of the wind in the wheat.” The fox looked carefully at the little prince. “Go and look again at the roses. You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world. Then come back to say goodbye to me, and I will give you a secret as a gift.” The little prince went away to see the roses again. “You are not my rose,” he told them. “Nobody has tamed you, and you have tamed nobody. You are like my fox before I knew him. But my rose is more important than all of you, because it is her that I have watered, it is her that I have protected under the glass cover, it is for her that I have killed all the worms, it is her that I have listened to when she complained (抱怨) or talked proudly.” When he returned to the fox, the fox said,“Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What matters most is invisible (看不见的) to the eye.” —Adapted from The Little Prince 52. Why did the little prince cry when he saw so many roses? A. The roses were not beautiful enough. B. He found his rose was not the only one of its kind. C. The fox refused to play with him. D.

And I am nothing more than a fox, like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. You will be unique to me, and I shall be unique to you. 定位句翻译：对我来说，你还只是一个小男孩，就像其他成千上万个小男孩一样。我也只是一只狐狸，和其他成千上万的狐狸没有什么不同。但是，如果你驯养了我，我们就会彼此需要。对我来说，你就是独一无二的，对你来说，我也是独一无二的。 选项 A scary 可怕的 ✘ 选项 B special 特别的 ✔ unique 含义是独一无二的、特别的，和 special 同义。 选项 C lively 活泼的 ✘ 选项 D dangerous 危险的 ✘ 3. 答案 C 定位段落：第二段 定位句：It means ‘to create ties’, the fox said. 定位句翻译：狐狸说，它的意思是 “建立羁绊”。 选项 A the same looks 相同的外表 ✘ 外表不是友谊的基础。 选项 B long talks 长时间的交谈 ✘ 文中没有提到依靠长谈建立友谊。 选项 C special ties built together 一起建立起来的特殊羁绊 ✔ “tame 驯养” 就是创造、建立专属的羁绊，这才是真正友谊的核心。 选项 D expensive gifts 昂贵的礼物 ✘ 文中没有提到贵重礼物。 4. 答案 A 定位段落：第四段、第五段 定位句：Then come back to say goodbye to me, and I will give you a secret as a gift. / Here is my secret.

Prepare and put as much soil as you can. 【参考答案】 B E A D F 【答案解析】 1. 答案 B 选项翻译：你只需要大约半小时就能完成它。 分析：本段引入自制悬挂玻璃瓶花盆，前面已经提到这个手工简单、便宜又有趣。B 选项继续补充它耗时短的优点，和前文并列介绍这个手工的优势，语意连贯。 其余相关选项分析：C 说最好买昂贵花盆，和文章开头不买贵花盆的主旨矛盾；G 是装填泥土，属于后面步骤，放在此处时间顺序不对。 2. 答案 E 选项翻译：广口瓶子效果更好。 分析：空格后一句 “往里面放土和植物会更容易” 是该选项带来的好处，广口瓶口更大，方便放土和植株，前后构成因果逻辑。 其余相关选项分析：A 是清洗瓶子，属于后面处理瓶子环节；D 是装填瓶子，步骤还没到，不能放在准备材料这一段。 3. 答案 A 选项翻译：仔细清洗瓶子，确保里面没有水。 分析：本段中心是处理瓶子，制作时处理瓶子首先要清洗干净，再进行绳子裁剪、捆绑操作，符合操作先后顺序。 其余相关选项分析：E 是挑选广口瓶，属于上一段准备材料的内容；F 是后期浇水养护，属于最后一步，位置不合适。 4. 答案 D 选项翻译：现在该往瓶子里装填东西了。 分析：前面已经把瓶子固定在绳子上并且检查牢固，后文马上介绍先放小石头、再加土、栽种植物。D 起到承上启下的过渡作用，引出装填环节。 其余相关选项分析：G 说放入尽可能多的土，和原文不符，土壤不能装满；F 是后期养护，不是装填阶段的内容。 5. 答案 F 选项翻译：每隔几天给植物浇水，看着它生长。 分析：所有制作、悬挂步骤全部完成，这里补充做好花盆之后的日常养护方法，作为整个 DIY 流程的收尾。 其余相关选项分析：C 和文章观点冲突；B 是介绍耗时，属于开头介绍优点时的内容，不适合放在结尾。 五、从方框内选择合适的单词或词组，并用其正确形式填空（10 分） in a mess humour invent suggestion look forward to important catch one’s eye they get along with in order to 61.

He never just b____71____ what books said. Instead, he loved to go out, see things for h____72____ and do small tests to find the real truth. Here are two of his most famous stories. The first story is about peach blossoms (桃花盛开). O____73____ Shen Kuo read a famous poem. It said: “All flowers fall in April, but mountain peach blossoms just start to bloom.” At first he thought this must be i____74____. How could flowers on the same planet bloom at two completely different times? He was so c____75____ to check that he climbed the mountain in April. He soon found the mountain above was much colder than the ground b____76____. The cool mountain air makes flowers wake up and open much later. Shen Kuo r____77____ this rule in his book Dream Pool Essays. Today we call this a part of “phenology (生物气候学)”, the science of how nature changes with seasons. The second story is about a sound resonance experiment (声音共振实验). Shen Kuo had two guqin. He cut out a tiny paper doll with scissors and g____78____ it on a string of the first guqin. Then he plucked (弹拨) the same-note (音符) string on the second guqin. Guess what? The little paper doll danced as well! But if he plucked a different note, the paper doll did not move at all. This was the world’s first clear t____79____ to show that sounds of the same note can “shake each other”, a thing we now call sound resonance. What is Shen Kuo’s s____80____ of success? If you want to find the real truth, don’t just sit and read. Go outside, watch carefully, and do small experiments yourself. Cool science is often hiding right in the little things around you. 【参考答案】 71. believed 72. himself 73. Once 74. impossible 75. curious 76. below 77. recorded 78. glued 79. test 80. secret 【答案解析】 71. believed 解析：主语 he，时态为一般过去时。believe 相信。句意：他从不只是相信书本上说的内容。 72. himself 解析：for oneself 亲自；he 对应的反身代词 himself，see things for himself 亲自去观察事物。 73. Once 解析：once 曾经，有一次，用来引出往事故事，句首大写。句意：有一次沈括读到一首有名的诗。 74. impossible 解析：根据后文疑问，一开始他觉得这件事不可能。impossible 不可能的。 75. curious 解析：be curious to do sth 好奇地想要做某事。他十分好奇，于是四月上山去验证。 76. below 解析：the ground below 下方的地面，和山上 mountain above 形成对比。山上比下方平地冷得多。 77. recorded 解析：record 记录，用过去式 recorded。句意：沈括在《梦溪笔谈》中记录了这个规律。 78. glued 解析：glue 粘贴，过去式 glued。句意：他剪出一个小纸人，把它粘在第一张古琴的一根弦上。 79. test 解析：test 实验、测试。句意：这是世界上第一个清晰的实验，证明相同音调的声音可以互相引发振动。 80. secret 解析：secret 秘诀。句意：沈括成功的秘诀是什么？ 全文翻译 沈括是中国古代最伟大的科学家之一，生活在九百多年前的北宋。他从不只是相信书本上写的内容。相反，他喜欢外出、亲自观察事物，并且做小实验来找到真相。下面是他最出名的两个故事。 第一个故事和桃花盛开有关。有一次，沈括读到一首名诗，诗里写道：“人间四月芳菲尽，山寺桃花始盛开。” 一开始他觉得这一定不可能。同一星球上的花，怎么会在完全不同的时间开放？他十分好奇，想要验证，于是在四月登上大山。他很快发现山上比下方的地面冷很多。山上凉爽的空气让花儿苏醒、开放得更晚。沈括在《梦溪笔谈》里记录了这个规律。如今我们把这归为 “物候学” 的一部分，这是一门研究自然随季节变化的科学。 第二个故事是关于声音共振实验。沈括有两张古琴。他用剪刀剪出一个小纸人，把它粘在第一张古琴的一根琴弦上。接着他拨动第二张古琴上相同音调的琴弦。猜猜发生了什么？小纸人竟然也跟着动起来！但是如果拨动不同音调的琴弦，纸人就一动不动。这是世界上第一个清晰的实验，证明相同音调的声音可以 “互相带动振动”，也就是我们现在所说的声音共振。 沈括成功的秘诀是什么？如果你想要找到真相，不要只是坐着读书。走出去，仔细观察，亲自做小实验。奇妙的科学往往就藏在你身边的小事之中。 七、阅读短文，回答下列问题，每题答案不超过 8 个词（10 分） Balcony herb (香草) DIY is a fresh and relaxing hobby that has become quite popular among middle school students these days. Instead of buying expensive potted herbs from flower shops, many of us choose to grow common herbs like mint (薄荷), basil (罗勒) and rosemary (迷迭香) by ourselves at home. This small and easy project builds a close tie between us and the quiet beauty of nature, and brings us lots of warm little joy that busy school life often misses. To start this hobby, you don’t need any expensive tools. All you need are simple things: proper planters (花盆), nutrient-rich soil (营养土), a bag of herb seeds (种子) or some healthy small seedlings (苗). Old wooden boxes at home and even yogurt pots can all work perfectly as small planters. One important tip to remember is to drill several small holes at the bottom of each container, so extra water can run out smoothly and stop the soft plant roots from rotting (腐烂). Then put these little pots in the sun on your balcony, and water them two or three times a week, but never overwater them. After several weeks of careful care, you can pick fresh green leaves to add to your cold drinks or home cooking. Growing herbs teaches us to carefully watch those tiny lovely changes in nature, from a tiny new bud (芽) to a full green leaf. When you smell the special fresh smell of the mint you grow with your own hands, all your tiredness from long hours of study will soon disappear. Unlike exciting online games, this slow and peaceful DIY helps us stay away from screens. It also gives us a strong sense of achievement. Even a small common balcony can turn into a warm little green world with such simple DIY work. 81. What are the three common herbs mentioned in the passage? 82. What other daily waste can be reused as planters? 83. How often does the text suggest we water the herb plants? 84. What can the slow DIY help us? (just list one point) 85. What other DIY jobs can we do on the balcony? 【参考答案】 81. Mint, basil and rosemary. 82. Old wooden boxes and yogurt pots. 83. Two or three times a week. 84. It helps us stay away from screens. 85. We can grow some flowers and vegetables. 【答案解析】 81. 答案：Mint, basil and rosemary. 定位段落：第一段 定位句：many of us choose to grow common herbs like mint (薄荷), basil (罗勒) and rosemary (迷迭香) by ourselves at home. 翻译：我们很多人选择在家自己种植薄荷、罗勒、迷迭香这类常见香草。 分析：原文直接列出这三种香草，直接摘抄作答。 82. 答案：Old wooden boxes and yogurt pots. 定位段落：第二段 定位句：Old wooden boxes at home and even yogurt pots can all work perfectly as small planters. 翻译：家里旧木盒子甚至酸奶盒都可以很好地用作小花盆。 分析：文中举例这两样日常废弃物可以改造当花盆。 83. 答案：Two or three times a week. 定位段落：第二段 定位句：Then put these little pots in the sun on your balcony, and water them two or three times a week, but never overwater them. 翻译：然后把这些小花盆放在阳台向阳处，一周浇水两到三次，但是不能浇太多水。 分析：原文给出浇水频率，直接提取。 84. 答案：It helps us stay away from screens.（或者 It gives us a strong sense of achievement.） 定位段落：第三段 定位句：Unlike exciting online games, this slow and peaceful DIY helps us stay away from screens. It also gives us a strong sense of achievement. 翻译：和刺激的网游不同，这个缓慢安静的手工活动帮我们远离电子屏幕。它也带给我们强烈的成就感。 分析：题目要求只写一点，任选其一即可。 85. 参考答案：We can grow some flowers and vegetables. 分析：该题为开放题，只要是适合阳台的 DIY 种植活动，语法正确即可。 其他可选答案：We can make hanging plant planters. / We grow tomatoes on the balcony. 八、书面表达（共 15 分） 假设你是校 DIY 社团的成员李华，你的澳大利亚网友 Simon 想了解你和朋友之间的 DIY 故事，请根据以下问题，用英文写一封邮件向他讲述你和朋友的 DIY 故事。 1.

Now I am glad to tell you my DIY story. Last weekend, my friend and I decided to make a hanging glass bottle planter together. We needed a clean glass bottle, thick rope, scissors, some small stones, soil and a green plant. First, we washed the bottle and cut the rope into three same pieces. Then we tied the rope around the bottle neck to hold it. Next, we put small stones at the bottom for drainage and filled the bottle with soil. Finally, we planted the green plant and hung it on the balcony. At first, I worried I would make mistakes. My friend told me to keep patient and take it step by step. From this DIY, I learn that teamwork works well and careful patience brings good results. It also brings me a strong feeling of satisfaction.

She kept trying and finally got her PhD at MIT. This past February, Wang did something really ____43____. She solved a century-old math problem—the Kakeya conjecture (挂谷猜想).

I have “Forest School” on Monday afternoon. Ms Brown takes us to the forest. We learn how to put up a tent and make a fire in the forest. On a family trip in the forest, I help my parents make a fire. I’m so happy. The class helps me a lot. Hi, I’m Gina. I am an American student. I have a folk dance class at school. It is on Wednesday morning. I think Ms Smith is a good teacher. She tells us about the history and culture of dancing. I like her very much. Hey, I’m Jack. I’m a 13-year-old boy from Australia. Our school has surfing classes. Surfing is fun. But not everyone can do it. Today is Wednesday, so we have the surfing class tomorrow morning. I study it for a long time. Now, I am good at it. Can you see the man in the picture? He is my teacher, Mr Green. 46. What does Frank think of “Forest School”? A. It’s exciting. B. It’s boring. C. It’s helpful. D. It’s relaxing. 47. Which of the following is true? A. Jack has a surfing class on Wednesday. B. Ms Brown is Mary’s surfing teacher. C. Frank is a student from America. D. Gina can learn about the history of dancing. 48. What does the underlined sentence “But not everyone can do it” mean? A. The surfing class is expensive. B. The surfing class is not easy. C. Some students don’t like the surfing class. D. Only a few students can take the surfing class. B How many languages do you know? Have you ever been unable to learn about something because you speak only English? Do not feel limited (受限的) because English is a great foundation (基础) for learning Swedish. Learning a bit of Swedish will help you discover more about Sweden’s rich culture, fascinating history and beautiful land. Many words sound the same in Swedish and English. Even without a lesson, you already know several Swedish words. For example, “man” and “person” are the same in both languages. Not only are there many similar words, but some words are so close that you can know them at once. For example, “fish” in Swedish is only a one-letter change to “fisk”. “Room” is an easy change to “rum”. The similarities between English and Swedish go deeper than just words that look alike. English grammar and Swedish grammar are also very similar, which is helpful when you are using verbs. Swedish also uses the Roman alphabet (字母表), so you already know the Swedish ABCs. The only difference is three more letters—a, å, ö—found at the end of the Swedish alphabet. Swedes are not very dramatic (情绪化的), so you will not hear a Swede saying something like “How sad you missed the bus!”or“That test was a killer.”Also, keep your hands to yourself because body language is uncommon. Usually, it is easy for beginners to be understood even if they mispronounce words, and you will be learning a language that is a stepping-stone toward understanding a beautiful culture and land. 49. How many letters are there in the Swedish alphabet? A. Twenty B. Twenty-three C. Twenty-six D. Twenty-nine 50. Which of the following can you seldom see or hear in Sweden? a. People express thanks to those who have helped them. b. Teachers hold students’ hands when talking to them. c. Passengers joke how sad they missed the bus. d. Students make fun of the bad results of their math test. A. abc B. bcd C. acd D. abd 51. What can we know from the passage? A. Swedish is easier to learn than English. B. A number of Swedish words are pronounced the same. C. Swedes are good at guessing the meanings of the words. D. Good Swedish learners can understand Swedish culture better. C The little prince walked through a large garden full of roses. All of them looked exactly like his own flower. He felt very sad. “I thought my rose was the only one in the whole world,” he said to himself. “But there are five thousand of them, all the same, in just one garden.” He lay down in the grass and cried. Then a fox appeared. “Come and play with me,” the little prince said. “I am so unhappy.” “I cannot play with you,” the fox answered. “I am not tamed.” “What does ‘tame’ mean?” asked the little prince. “It means ‘to create ties’,” the fox said. “To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy, just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I am nothing more than a fox, like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. You will be unique to me, and I shall be unique to you.” The fox went on. “You see the wheat fields over there? I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields say nothing to me. That is sad. But you have golden hair. Once you have tamed me, it will be wonderful. The wheat, which is golden, will bring me the thought of you. I will learn to love the sound of the wind in the wheat.” The fox looked carefully at the little prince. “Go and look again at the roses. You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world. Then come back to say goodbye to me, and I will give you a secret as a gift.” The little prince went away to see the roses again. “You are not my rose,” he told them. “Nobody has tamed you, and you have tamed nobody. You are like my fox before I knew him. But my rose is more important than all of you, because it is her that I have watered, it is her that I have protected under the glass cover, it is for her that I have killed all the worms, it is her that I have listened to when she complained (抱怨) or talked proudly.” When he returned to the fox, the fox said,“Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What matters most is invisible (看不见的) to the eye.” —Adapted from The Little Prince 52. Why did the little prince cry when he saw so many roses? A. The roses were not beautiful enough. B. He found his rose was not the only one of its kind. C. The fox refused to play with him. D. He could not find his rose in the garden. 53. What does the underlined word “unique” mean in the passage? A. scary B. special C. lively D. dangerous 54. From the fox’s words, we can infer that true friendship mainly depends on ____. A. the same looks B. long talks C. special ties built together D. expensive gifts 55. What is the best title for this passage? A. A Secret about True Friendship B. A Garden of Beautiful Roses C. The Story of a Clever Fox D.

He never just b____71____ what books said. Instead, he loved to go out, see things for h____72____ and do small tests to find the real truth. Here are two of his most famous stories. The first story is about peach blossoms (桃花盛开). O____73____ Shen Kuo read a famous poem. It said: “All flowers fall in April, but mountain peach blossoms just start to bloom.” At first he thought this must be i____74____.

He soon found the mountain above was much colder than the ground b____76____. The cool mountain air makes flowers wake up and open much later. Shen Kuo r____77____ this rule in his book Dream Pool Essays. Today we call this a part of “phenology (生物气候学)”, the science of how nature changes with seasons. The second story is about a sound resonance experiment (声音共振实验). Shen Kuo had two guqin. He cut out a tiny paper doll with scissors and g____78____ it on a string of the first guqin. Then he plucked (弹拨) the same-note (音符) string on the second guqin. Guess what? The little paper doll danced as well! But if he plucked a different note, the paper doll did not move at all. This was the world’s first clear t____79____ to show that sounds of the same note can “shake each other”, a thing we now call sound resonance. What is Shen Kuo’s s____80____ of success? If you want to find the real truth, don’t just sit and read. Go outside, watch carefully, and do small experiments yourself. Cool science is often hiding right in the little things around you. 七、阅读短文，回答下列问题，每题答案不超过 8 个词（10 分） Balcony herb (香草) DIY is a fresh and relaxing hobby that has become quite popular among middle school students these days. Instead of buying expensive potted herbs from flower shops, many of us choose to grow common herbs like mint (薄荷), basil (罗勒) and rosemary (迷迭香) by ourselves at home. This small and easy project builds a close tie between us and the quiet beauty of nature, and brings us lots of warm little joy that busy school life often misses. To start this hobby, you don’t need any expensive tools. All you need are simple things: proper planters (花盆), nutrient-rich soil (营养土), a bag of herb seeds (种子) or some healthy small seedlings (苗). Old wooden boxes at home and even yogurt pots can all work perfectly as small planters. One important tip to remember is to drill several small holes at the bottom of each container, so extra water can run out smoothly and stop the soft plant roots from rotting (腐烂). Then put these little pots in the sun on your balcony, and water them two or three times a week, but never overwater them. After several weeks of careful care, you can pick fresh green leaves to add to your cold drinks or home cooking. Growing herbs teaches us to carefully watch those tiny lovely changes in nature, from a tiny new bud (芽) to a full green leaf. When you smell the special fresh smell of the mint you grow with your own hands, all your tiredness from long hours of study will soon disappear. Unlike exciting online games, this slow and peaceful DIY helps us stay away from screens. It also gives us a strong sense of achievement. Even a small common balcony can turn into a warm little green world with such simple DIY work. 81. What are the three common herbs mentioned in the passage? 82. What other daily waste can be reused as planters? 83. How often does the text suggest we water the herb plants? 84. What can the slow DIY help us? (just list one point) 85. What other DIY jobs can we do on the balcony? 八、书面表达（共 15 分） 假设你是校 DIY 社团的成员李华，你的澳大利亚网友 Simon 想了解你和朋友之间的 DIY 故事，请根据以下问题，用英文写一封邮件向他讲述你和朋友的 DIY 故事。 1. What DIY task did you choose? 2.
