Acting in front of many people can be 1 . But at my school, the English drama course helps me feel braver.
Every student 2 the course twice a week. Our foreign teacher, Mr. Dean, once said,"Many students are good at studying but are shy to 3 themselves. We hope drama can help students learn English and be more creative."
In class, we are 4 basic acting skills through fun activities, such as practising how to speak clearly and show 5 with body movement. One of the most popular activities is improvisation(即兴表演), where the teacher 6 simple scenes(场景). It gives us a chance to create 7 without any requirement. I remember once I was asked to use an umbrella to come up with new ways of walking for different characters. I held the umbrella proudly, moved my body gently, and acted as a well-dressed lady. This 8 was really interesting.
We also learn to tell stories through puppet shows. Mr. Dean says this helps shy students a lot as we can tell stories by using puppets without feeling 9 on stage.

2. 阅读理解

If you' re laughing during your English lesson, that's probably a good thing. Besides making a class more fun,humour(幽默) can be a good language learning tool.
First, there are good reasons to keep stress levels low in the language classroom. People usually learn a language and use it much more easily when they are relaxed—— and what reduces stress more greatly than laughter? And in a class, sharing a joke can help students and teachers build a friendly atmosphere (氛围) that encourages confidence.
Also, A student named Leo shared:"I used to get totally confused by English grammar, but then my teacher showed us a funny meme (段子). Laughing at that meme made the grammar rule clear to me immediately." Research has found that humour helps our brains feel good, making us want to learn and remember better.
Humour can be a test of your language skills, too. Understanding jokes requires not just some basic knowledge of words and sentences—— you need to know why they' re funny! For example," Why was six afraid of seven? Because seven ate (eight) nine!" A lot of jokes are based on wordplay (双关语), so the listener may need to know more than one meaning of a word to understand the jokes.
It's no surprise that both students and teachers expect some humour in language lessons. But what kinds of jokes are the most popular? One study asked nearly 250 foreign language learners what they thought. The researchers found that students really liked it when teachers made funny comments during lessons. Students also liked funny cartoons and memes.
(1)、Which graph shows the link between humour and stress?A、
B、
C、
D、
(2)、What did Leo's experience show about English learning?A、Learning English grammar needs to do research first. B、Speaking during school classes reduces student stress. C、Laughing at a funny meme helps make grammar rules clear. D、Doing boring exercises improves textbook understanding.(3)、Why can humour test your language skills according to Paragraph 4?A、Because jokes are something that only local speakers can get. B、Because jokes are about spelling and writing English words. C、Because jokes require excellent speaking and listening skills. D、Because understanding jokes needs rich language knowledge.(4)、What suggestion can teachers take from the study?A、Never tell jokes in class. B、Use more funny comments. C、Tell language stories to students. D、Teach students about wordplay.(5)、Where is the passage most probably taken from?A、A science fiction novel. B、A travel magazine. C、An education magazine. D、An English dictionary.3. 阅读理解A night from my childhood remains clear in my memory: I was standing by a pool before a village in Henan. Next to me stood many other people, both adults and children. Together, we looked at the clear night sky, where a tiny star slowly sailed across the dark sky.
It was China's first artificial satellite (人造卫星): Dongfanghong I. The date was April 25,1970, and I was seven. Just a week earlier, Apollo 13 safely returned from a journey to the Moon.It had been nine years since the first astronaut left the Earth. But I didn't know any of that. As Ilooked at that tiny star, my heart was full of curiosity.
The adults said that the satellite wasn't like an airplane because it flew outside of the Earth.Back then the dust and smoke didn't pollute the air, and the velvet sky was especially clear, with the Milky Way (银河) clearly seen. In my mind, the stars that filled the sky weren't much farther away than the tiny satellite, so I thought it was flying among them. I even worried that it might run into one as it passed through them.
A few years passed before I understood how far it is from that satellite to the stars. Back thenI was reading a popular set of basic science books called A Hundred Thousand Whys. I learned the idea of a light-year(光年). I tried to picture the endless and icy darkness of space —— so huge and deep that my mind couldn't follow. A wave of fear and wonder flooded me, yet left behindastrange and electric joy. Even today, the idea of a light-year can still paint lively pietures in my mind and excite a deep sense of wonder and shock.
Satellite, stars, the Milky Way, a light-year ... These seemingly (似乎) unconnected things formed the early part of my life, and also influenced the science fiction I write today.
—— Liu Cixin
(1)、How does the writer start the passage in Paragraph 1?A、By using a saying. B、By listing numbers. C、By describing a scene. D、By asking a question.(2)、What does the underlined phrase"that tiny star" refer to?A、Apollo 13 B、The Moon C、Dongfanghong 1 D、A star in the sky(3)、According to Paragraph 3, why did the writer worry about the satellite?A、Because it was close to planes. B、Because the sky was polluted. C、Because the Milky Way was dark. D、Because it might crash into a star.(4)、According to the underlined sentence, how did the writer feel about light-years?A、Excited at first but soon forgot. B、Too scared to think about it again. C、Upset as it is hard to understand. D、Afraid and amazed at the same time.(5)、What will the passage probably talk about next?A、The writer's ideas of science fiction. B、China's achievements in space.
