    Do people like the same color? Of course not. Why? Because different people have different ideas. Black is one of the popular colors. People like it because it makes people look thinner. White is a clean color, but it is easy to get dirty. Blue is the colour of the sky and the sea. It often makes people feel cool. Green is a good color for our eyes. After doing homework for a long time, you can watch something green. Yellow is a lovely color, but if you are in a yellow room for a long time, you may get angry easily. 

    Colors are not only colors, they can tell much more. In English, when you have so many falls that your legs can be"black and blue" all over. When you are young, you can say you are"in the green". If you are sad, you"feel blue". If you are angry, you can say you"see red". When you find a big dog standing on your way, don't be"yellow"!

    Colors are really interesting. 

    (1)、Why do people love different colors?
    (2)、Which color is easy to get dirty?
    (3)、How may you feel if you stay in a yellow room for a long time?
    (4)、When you' re angry, how can you express your feeling by using a colour?
    (5)、What colour do you like? Why?

    Every year, our class takes part in a school trip. This year we went to a small mountain on foot. I was full of energy and ran fast at first. Soon I was far ahead of my friends. But after about one hour, the road  (become) rocky and I realized I lost my way. I sat on a rock and asked myself, "What can I do now?" I felt a little afraid and my  (think) were dark.

    Then I remembered my teacher's words: "When you are in trouble, you can turn to someone  help." I used my phone and called Mr Li, my head teacher.  (luck), the signal (信号) was good. Mr. Li told me to stay calm and wait there. About thirty minutes later, he and two friends found me. When I saw   (they), I was so glad that I almost cried. Mr Li said they turned left at the second crossing,  I turned right. That's why I got lost.

  • 10、 以下是一则短文,请阅读全文,并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中,使原文的意思完整、连贯。

    A. It's a great way to meet people with the same hobbies. 

    B. I would like to give you my advice. 

    C. Being a kind person will make people more interested in being your friends.

    D. Be confident when you want to make friends.

    E. It's important to listen to others' ideas kindly even if they are not right. 

    F. A simple "How's your day?" can also start a friendly talk sometimes.

    When we are new at a school, it's not easy to build new friendships. How to make friends with others?

    First, starting with simple steps like smiling may make it easier. Always keep smiling to show that you're kind. 

     No one likes to make friends with someone who always looks cold. 

    For quiet students, trying to be more outgoing (外向的) helps make friends. You can ask safe questions like "What's your hobby?" to start a talk. It might be hard at the beginning, but if you stay friendly, you'll make more friends at school. 

    Join school clubs or sports teams. If you join one, you'll meet many other students. Over time, you could become good friends with some of them. For example, football lovers can meet new friends during team practices. You can also try joining a book club if you love reading.

     Don't let shyness stop you from doing so. True friendships often begin with small, brave steps. It's OK if you are not feeling confident now—just act like being confident until you make it! Keep trying, and you'll see some changes in your social life. 

    Friendship takes time, so be patient and stay kind to yourself and others along the way.

    The Autumn Equinox, called Qiufen in Chinese, is the 16th of the 24 solar terms. It comes in the middle of autumn. On this day, day and night are almost the same length. After the Autumn Equinox, nights get longer, days shorter, and the weather becomes cooler. The name Qiufen means "dividing autumn equally", because it not only divides day and night equally but also splits autumn into two equal parts.

    There are three natural signs of the Autumn Equinox. First, thunder stops. The loud thunder from summer goes away. Second, insects hide. Small animals like worms and crickets dig into the soil to keep warm for winter. Third, water goes down. Rivers and ponds have less water because there is less rain.

    When the Autumn Equinox arrives, farmers are busy harvesting. Rice fields turn golden, apples turn red, and persimmons look like little lanterns. It's also called the "Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival". People celebrate with joy and thank nature for the food they receive.

    In short, the Autumn Equinox is a special time that teaches us about balance (平衡) and helps us enjoy the beauty of nature.

  • 12、 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

    Which country is the happiest? In March, the UN World Happiness Report gave the answer again—Finland. It has been the world's happiest country for the past eight years. But why? The secret (秘密) of Finnish happiness lies not in money or sunshine, but in their lifestyle and values.

    First, Finns have a close relationship with nature. In Finland, forests and lakes are everywhere. People are never far from green spaces. They love hiking, biking, and swimming, even in winter. Being close to nature makes them feel calm and happy. Emma Seppälä, a Yale teacher studying happiness, found that when people stay away from electronic devices, their thinking becomes more active in solving problems.

    Second, the Finnish community is built on trust. People trust the government, the police, and one another. The government shares information openly, helping everyone feel safe. Children    can    walk    to    school    alone, and parents don't worry. This feeling of safety makes life less difficult.

    Another reason is a Finnish word—"sisu", meaning courage and never giving up. It helps people face long, dark winters with a positive attitude (积极态度).

    What's more, Finland offers strong social support. The government and companies provide good health care, education, and help for those in need.

    In short, Finland's happiness comes from its deep connection to nature, strong trust, and supportive community. It shows that true happiness is not about money, but about living well, courage, and how we live our lives.

    (1)、 What is one reason Finland is the happiest country?
    A、It has the best sunny weather in the world. B、Everyone in Finland is very rich. C、Finns have a close relationship with nature. D、The UN World Happiness Report put Finland in first place.
    (2)、 According to Emma Seppälä, what happens when people stay away from electronic devices?
    A、They become bored. B、They forget how to use technology. C、They feel lonely. D、They become smart in solving problems.
    (3)、 What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?A. Finnish parents are too busy to send their children to school.
    A、Finnish communities show great trust and safety. B、Finnish schools are very close to every child's home. C、Finnish children are much more independent than those in other countries.
    (4)、 How does the writer organize the passage to explain Finland's happiness?
    A、 B、 C、 D、
    (5)、 What is the main purpose of this passage?

  • 19、Do you know the numbers 0—9 well? They are Arabic numerals. People use them to mark numbers now. But it's not the only number system that people use.

    About 2,500 years ago, people in Rome used their hands to count. In Roman numerals, one finger means 1, two fingers means 2, three fingers means 3, four fingers means 4. If you want to say five, you can keep your four fingers close on one side and your thumb on the other side. Make each of your hands be five, then you'll have ten. So in Rome, the numbers are "I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X". Also, "L" means fifty, "C" means one hundred. "D" means five hundred and "M" means one thousand. But there is no zero in Roman numerals. Today, few people use them because they are difficult to write and count. But we can still see them on some watches and clocks.

    Today, most people use the Arabic numerals. They are easy to remember and write. They help people to count things every day. In fact, Indians first created and used the Arabic numerals.

  • 20、If you asked Chinese kids in the 1960s to name their idol (偶像), they might say Qian Xuesen or Lei Feng. Today's kids, however, are saying really different names. In a survey named "Children's idols and role models" made on March 2 by the China Youth Research Center, more than 70 percent of children saw sports and entertainment stars as their idols. Scientists and labor models, the idols of children in the 60s and 70s, only made up 2.3 percent and 0.4 percent. The survey was made among more than 6,400 primary and high school students.

    The top three idols are pop star Jay Chou, kungfu star Jackie Chan and pop singer Zhang Jie. Lei Feng came seventh and was the only name in the top 10 who was not a sports or entertainment star. Scientists in the list included Albert Einstein at 31 and Qian Xuesen at 45. They were together with entrepreneurs (企业家) like Alibaba CEO Ma Yun.

    The survey also suggested that modern kids draw a clear line between idols and role models. Of those interviewed, 82.2 percent thought "idols are for fun in daily life" while 91.7 percent thought role models offered "encouragement and inspiration". Most kids named their peers (同辈) as their role models, although Lei Feng was the most mentioned role model for children.

    Cultural expert Zhu Dake said that modern children think of "idols" in terms of entertainment. He said that people should pay attention to the bad influence of too much commercialism (商业化) and entertainment on children's growth.

    (1)、Who might the children in the 1960s see as their idol?
    A、Jackie Chan. B、Zhang Jie. C、Qian Xuesen. D、Ma Yun.

    (4)、How do today's kids understand "idols" and "role models"?
    A、They can learn nothing from their peers. B、Role models bring them inspiration. C、Their idols are also their role models. D、Lei Feng is no longer their idol.
    (5)、What does the passage mainly talk about?
