• 1、阅读下面短文,从短文后框内的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。

    Do you often struggle to finish your homework on time? Do you find it hard to remember what you've learned in class?. Good study habits can solve these problems, and they are not hard to develop if you follow the right steps.

    A clear plan helps you use time wisely. For example, you can list your homework in order of difficulty every evening— finish the hard subjects (like math or physics) when you're most focused, and save easy ones (like English reading) for later. You can also set a time limit for each task, such as 40 minutes for math exercises and 20 minutes for vocabulary review.

    ●Take regular breaks while studying

    Studying for hours without stopping will make you tired and slow down your thinking.. A 10-minute break every hour works well— you can stretch your body, drink some water, or look out the window to relax your eyes. This way, you'll stay energetic and learn more efficiently.

    ●Review what you've learned regularly

    It's easy to forget new knowledge if you don't review it. You can spend 10 minutes every night going over your class notes, and do a small review of the whole week's content on weekends.. For example, you can make flashcards for English words or math formulas to review anytime.

    ●Ask for help when you're stuck

    Don't be afraid to ask for help if you can't understand a problem or a concept.. They can explain things in a way that's easier for you to follow. Remember, asking for help is not a sign of weakness— it's a smart way to learn faster.

    A. Make a daily study plan

    B. We all feel this way when we study too long

    C. It helps you remember knowledge better

    D. The following tips can help you develop good study habits

    E. You can ask your teachers during class or your classmates after class

    F. Try to finish all your homework before watching TV or playing games

  • 2、The Double Ninth Festival is a traditional Chinese festival that falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. For a long time, it has been a day to show respect to the elderly. In recent years, many schools in China have started to hold activities for this festival, to help students learn about traditional culture and develop respect for the elderly.

    Last month, No.5 Middle School held a "Double Ninth Care Activity". Over 200 Grade 9 students took part in it. They visited a local nursing home (养老院) near the school. Some students prepared handwritten cards with best wishes for the elderly. Others brought small gifts, like scarves and gloves. During the visit, students chatted with the elderly about their lives— some elderly people shared stories about their childhood, while students talked about their school life. A group of students even put on a short performance, singing old songs that the elderly loved.

    Wang Yu, one of the students, said, "Before this activity, I only knew the Double Ninth Festival from textbooks. But after talking to the elderly in the nursing home, I realized it's not just a date— it's a day to make the elderly feel warm." The headmaster of the school said, "We hope these activities can let students get close to traditional culture. Respect for the elderly is a key part of our culture, and it should be passed down from generation to generation."

    Similar activities are now popular in many schools. They not only help students understand traditional festivals better, but also teach them important life values. In a fast-changing world, keeping these traditions alive is more important than ever.

    (1)、Why do many schools hold the Double Ninth Festival activities?
    A、To help students finish their textbook tasks. B、To let students learn about traditional culture and respect the elderly. C、To ask students to give expensive gifts to the elderly.
    (2)、What did students do during the "Double Ninth Care Activity"?
    A、They taught the elderly to use smartphones. B、They chatted with the elderly and put on performances. C、They helped the elderly do housework in their homes.
    (3)、What can we infer (推断) about Wang Yu from her words?
    A、She learned more about the Double Ninth Festival through the activity. B、She thought the activity was a waste of time. C、She had visited the nursing home many times before.
    (4)、How does the writer feel about the schools' Double Ninth activities?
    A、He thinks they are useless and boring. B、He supports them and thinks they are meaningful. C、He doesn't care about them at all.
  • 3、With the development of technology, studying has become easier for students—but some still struggle with taking notes, especially in math and science classes. They often miss key points while writing, or can't find mistakes in their exercises quickly. This is where the "Smart Note-Taking Pen" comes in.

    The Smart Note-Taking Pen looks like a regular pen, but it has a small camera and a bluetooth chip inside. When students write on special notebooks, the pen records every word they write and sends the content to their phones or tablets in real-time. If they miss what the teacher says, they can play back the audio (声音) that the pen records at the same time as writing. What's more, when students finish their math exercises, they can scan the answers with the pen. The pen will connect to an app to analyze the mistakes and explain the right solutions—this helps students understand where they go wrong without waiting for teachers' feedback.

    Li Ming, a Grade 9 student, used to spend 2 hours checking his math homework every day. After using the pen for a month, he now only needs 40 minutes. "I don't have to mark mistakes one by one anymore," he said. "The pen tells me the problems directly, and I can focus on fixing them."

    The Smart Note-Taking Pen doesn't replace teachers. Instead, it helps students study more efficiently. It shows that technology can be a good helper for learning, as long as we use it properly.

    (1)、What does the underlined word "analyze" in Paragraph 2 mean?
    A、Find out and explain. B、Write down and copy. C、Remember and share.
    (2)、What can the Smart Note-Taking Pen do?
    A、Record teachers' words and students' writing. B、Give students math exercises to do. C、Replace teachers to check homework.
    (3)、What is the structure (结构) of the text? (P= paragraph)
    A、P1/P2 P3/P4 B、P1 P2/P3/P4 C、P1/P2/P3 P4
    (4)、What can we infer (推测) about the Smart Note-Taking Pen from the text?
    A、It is very expensive and only rich students can buy it. B、It helps students save time on studying and homework. C、It can do all the homework for students by itself.

    When Tom was little, he was too shy to make friends. He was often silent because he was afraid of talking to others.a long time, he felt like his life was boring and hopeless.

    Set yourself goals 

    Everybody needs something to work towards. An hour of studying each night? Fifty pages read throughout the week? Make certain goals you can reach for.

    It's important that you finish it on time. If you want to actually understand your homework, do it attentively. When you get home after school, sit down and finish it. Then you can do other things and not worry about it the next morning. 

    Take breaks more often than you think

    When you want to learn something, you' Il always think, "Study, and study some more until you have it down. Actually, that's not how it works. . When you take breaks, your attention and memory are improved.

    ②One exciting use of the coconut is as a kind of energy Scientists are working on using coconuts for energy because they are cheap and clean. Coconut oil has already been made into fuel (然料). It can power cars, trucks, ships and many more. 

    ③Students at Baylor University find that coconut husks can take in water very well. So mixing coconut husks with dry soil (土壤)helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. The students also find that coconut husks can take the place of plastic in some cases. If this is possible, it will help people use less plastic.

    ⑤Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and proper rain. No special care is needed. Every year, more than 61 million tons of coconuts are produced. It is not surprising, then, that people want to find so many uses for the coconut.

    Evans Wadongo was from a village of Africa. He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp (煤油灯). Evans' eyes hurt and this made studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason, so they remained poor for the rest of their lives. 

    Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it could cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light could hurt people's eyes. Besides, it could lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene was expensive, so families had less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment Yet Evans did not give up. 

    One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar (太阳 能的) light. Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps. 

    Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money for many villagers who only earned around $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. First, Evans used recycled materials. Next, volunteers built the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave money to his team, so the lamps were usually free. 

    Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook. The solar lamps made a big difference.

    Dear Jerry, 

    How time flies It has been two years since I came to China. 

  • 17、 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题。

    The Qingming Festival, also called Tomb-Sweeping Day, is one of China's 24 traditional solar terms(节气), usually falling between April 4th and 6th. It marks the arrival of spring and the revival(复苏)of nature, serving as both a seasonal sign and an important cultural festival. On this day, people remember their families through old ceremony and enjoy their life with spring outings(踏青). 

    The customs of Qingming are rich and excellent. Tomb sweeping is the most important tradition, where families clean gravesides, offer flowers and pay respects to their ancestors. Spring outings let people relax in nature, such as enjoying picnics and admiring flowers in the countryside. Flying kites is another fun activity, meaning the letting go of worries and welcoming new beginnings. 

    The Qingming Festival is more than just a time to remember the past. It also encourages deep thought about the meaning of life. It reminds us to value the present, be thankful for what our ancestors have done for us, and find peace in nature. As times change, how we celebrate Qingming has also changed. Now, people use online memorial services and eco-friendly ceremonies. No matter how it's celebrated, the main spirit of Qingming never seems to change: to keep our cultural heritage(遗产)alive and show respect for life itself. 

    (1)、Does the Qingming Festival always fall on the same day every year?
    (2)、What is the most important tradition in the Qingming Festival?
    (3)、How can we relax in nature during the spring outings?
    (4)、What is the main spirit of the Qingming Festival?
    (5)、What do you normally do in the Qingming Festival?
  • 18、 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

    Have you seen circles, squares and triangles (三角形) in your daily life? Have you thought about (they) meanings in films? Much like colors, different shapes can show different features (特征) of characters. 

    Circles represent (象征) goodness, (happy) and friendliness. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, flowers, raindrops and so on. We can also connect circles  beautiful eyes, babies' round faces and so on. All these things are (help) to make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters' bodies are round in shape, such heroes, ki ds, and good people. 

    Squares are symbols of unnatural or man- made things, or things that are boring or old- fashioned. In Up(《飞屋环游记》), Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. These shapes show the characters' personalities. Carl is stubborn (执拗的) and lonely, while Russell is lovely  outgoing. 

    The angriest shape is the triangle. When Kids draw a monster(怪物)with many sharp (tooth), they draw a row of triangles, don't they? That's because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. If you look at the bad guys in cartoons, you' ll find that they' re all drawn with plenty of points and triangles. And triangles are stable and don't fall down (easy). In films, this feature makes it difficult (deal) with bad people. 

    Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes (use) to show different personalities. So, next time you see a film, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like.

    Paisley used to be a shy girl who feared speaking in public. Last term, her English teacher asked everyone to give a(n)1 about" My D ream". At first, Paisley wanted to run away from it because she worr ied that she would forget words and be laughed at. But her teach er encouraged her, "Challenges aren't walls but ladders(梯子)to growt h. "

    Before the speech, Paisley prepared carefully. She read books to 2 her knowledge of public speaking and practiced her lines— questions and expressed her ideas, she tried to be more 3 . For example, she asked questions and expressed her ideas, even if her voice was soft. Her teacher never 4 her for small mistakes, which mad e her braver. 

    On the day of the speech, Paisley felt nervous. But she took a deep breath and told herself, "I have practiced hard and I can do this" She stood up, spoke 5 to the class, and shared her dream of becoming a writer. To her surprise, she didn't 6 at all. When she finished, the class cheered loudly. 

    Later, her teacher said, "Your courage didn't just influence your own growth, but also inspired your classmates. " Paisley also found her exam7 improved. She now studied wisely an d never 8 to do her homework without thinking carefully. 

    Paisley learned an important lesson: being afraid is9 , but facing fears confidently helps you find your best self. Now, she takes every chance to learn and grow, and she feels a strong sense of10 in her progress. As she wrote in her diary:" Every small step forward is a victory. Keep going, and you' ll surprise yourself with how excellent you can be!"

  • 20、 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。

    Have you had the experience of asking for directions? In fact, it's quite common in our daily life, especially when you travel to some foreign countries. Knowing how to ask for directions can make our stay there much easier. However, the way we ask may lead into different answers. 

    Learn to use greetings and polite expressions. If you want to start a conversation with someone, greeting is a must. This will help the conversation go on smoothly(顺利地)and it's also a good way to show your politeness. 

     Remember to use right words and try not to leave any information out. Be clear about where you want to go and what sentence pattern you should use. The more correctly you ask a question, the more possibly you' ll get an excellent answer. 

    When you travel to some foreign countries, it may be useful to carry a map downloaded(下载) in your phone. If you don't understand the words, you can show the map to the foreigners you meet.  Many people use apps like Google Maps. 

    Finally, don't be afraid of using landmarks(地标建筑). You can save some time if you know where the important landmarks are in the city. Maybe it's still easy to lose your way when visiting somewhere new, but don't laugh at yourself even if you get lost!

    A. Know how to ask a question. 

    B. They can point to the right way easily. 

    C. Every city in the world has its own landmarks. 

    D. Here is some advice and maybe it can help you. 

    E. You can begin by saying" Hello" or" Excuse me" before asking for help.
