Gentle Giants: African Elephants
Elephants are my favorite animals in the world. These amazing creatures live in African forests and
grasslands. Did you know elephants are the largest land animals An adult elephant can carry up to 9,000
kilograms with its strong trunk! Their long trunks help them pick leaves from tall trees and drink water easily.
African elephants have very special families. They live in groups called herds, with many female elephants
taking care of baby elephants together. The little elephants stay with their mothers for about 16 years! Though
they look quite big and sometimes dangerous, elephants are actually friendly animals if we don’t hurt them. They
never attack first unless they feel scared.
Sadly, these wonderful animals need our help. People cut down too many trees in elephant habitats, leaving
them without enough food. Some bad hunters kill elephants for their ivory tusks. Every year, about 20,000
elephants die because of this. We must save these intelligent animals before they disappear forever!
Why are elephants important to our environment They help forests grow by carrying seeds in their waste.
Their big footprints even create small pools of water for other animals! If we protect elephants, we’re also saving
many other forest creatures.
What can we do Never buy ivory products. Support organizations that take care of wild elephants.
Remember—when we protect nature, we’re protecting our future too!

Family rules help children learn what is and isn’t OK in the family. Good family rules are easy for children
to understand.
Mum gives us some rules at home: Clean your rooms every other day. Be ready (准备好) for dinner at 7:00

means turning down the music. Be ready for bed at 9:30 p.m. and get up at 7:30 a.m. Take out the rubbish (垃圾)
on Mondays before school. Clean the bathroom on Fridays.

How many steps should you walk each day to stay healthy and live a long life Many people believe the
magic number is 10,000 steps. However, a study shows that fewer steps can be just as good, especially if you are
60 or over.
The idea of walking 10,000 steps came from a Japanese company selling a device (设备) to count steps
back in 1965. The company called it the “Manpo Metre”, which means the “10,000-step metre”. Walking 10,000
steps is a well-known daily walking goal, but scientists say it isn’t a rule.
Scientists looked at 15 studies with nearly 48,000 people. They find that the more the people walk, the
longer they live. However, older and younger people need different numbers of steps. For people over 60, walking
more than 6,000 to 8,000 steps a day doesn’t make the risk (风险) of early death go down any more. For people
between 18 and 59, the risk stops going down after 8,000 to 10,000 steps.
The scientists also grouped people according to their step count. The lowest group walked about 3,500
steps every day, and the highest group took about 10,900 steps every day. The people in the group doing the most
steps had a 40% to 53% lower risk of early death than those who walked the least.
The scientists said that knowing the best number of steps for different ages could help give better advice for
staying healthy.
根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
1．How does the writer start to talk about the “magic number” of steps
A．He tells stories. B．He uses pictures.
C．He gives an example. D．He asks a question.

3．How many steps each day are enough for people over 60 to cut down the risk of early death
A．10,900 steps. B．6,000 to 8,000 steps.
C．8,000 to 10,000 steps. D．10,000 to 12,000 steps.
4．Which of the following questions does the writer answer in Paragraph 4
A．Does walking more steps help people live longer
B．Is walking the only way to help people stay healthy
C．Is the group of people who walked the least steps unhealthy
D．Does the number of daily walking steps change people’s lives
5．The writer wrote the passage to ________.
A．sell a “Manpo Metre” step counter
B．explain why 10,000 steps is a good daily goal
C．show that steps for a healthy life change with age
D．tell stories about people from different countries
【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．A 5．C
【导语】本文主要探讨了每天走多少步才能保持健康和延长寿命，科学家们表示，了解不同年龄段的最佳
步数有助于为保持健康提供更好的建议。
1．细节理解题。根据“How many steps should you walk each day to stay healthy and live a long life Many
people believe the magic number is 10,000 steps.”可知作者是通过一个问题开始谈论的。故选 D。
2．细节理解题。根据“The idea of walking 10,000 steps came from a Japanese company selling a device (设备)
to count steps back in 1965.”可知行走 10000 步的想法来自一家日本公司，该公司于 1965 年销售了一种计算
步数的设备。故选 B。
3．细节理解题。根据“For people over 60, walking more than 6,000 to 8,000 steps a day doesn’t make the risk (风
险) of early death go down any more”可知对于 60 岁以上的人来说，每天走 6000 到 8000 步以上并不会使早
逝的风险降低，可见对于 60 岁以上的人群，每天走 6,000 到 8,000 步就足够了。故选 B。
4．主旨大意题。根据“The scientists also grouped people according to their step count...”可知第四段通过研究
数据说明了走更多步数与降低早逝风险之间的关系，回答了“走更多步是否有助于人们活得更久”的问题。
故选 A。
5．主旨大意题。本文主要探讨了每天走多少步才能保持健康和延长寿命，科学家们表示，了解不同年龄
段的最佳步数有助于为保持健康提供更好的建议，即保持健康所需的步数会随着年龄而变化。故选 C。

Do you have friends or family members who live in other parts of China For example, maybe you live in
Beijing, but you have cousins in Chongqing. But luckily, if you want to call them on the phone, you don’t have to
worry about which time zone you are in. This is because nearly all of China follows a single standard time (单一
标准的时间).
But some countries have many different time zones. For example, the US has five different time zones. My
hometown New York is in the Eastern Time Zone. But my friends in California are in the Pacific Time Zone,
which is three hours behind my time zone. So, if I want to call them, I have to plan with them before calling to
make sure we are both free at the same time.
Actually, there is one exception (例外) in China: the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region (新疆维吾尔自治
区). In this region, people either follow Beijing Time—the time that the rest of the country follows—or Xinjiang
Time, which is about two hours behind Beijing Time.
For the first year I lived in China, I would often get phone calls from my mother very late at night because
she forgot to consider the time difference.
1．How many time zones are there in America
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Five.
2．Why does the writer have to make a plan with friends before calling
A．Because they are both free.
B．Because they are at the same time.
C．Because they are in the same country.

A Meaningful School Trip

terrible—who enjoys dusty exhibits But what happened next changed my mind.
We explored ancient tools in Hall A．Ms. Lane, our guide, taught us how people created pottery 3,000 years
ago. My friend Jake recorded her explanations on his phone. Suddenly, we realized the microphone wasn’t
working! Ms. Lane’s voice filled the silent room like a storyteller’s.
The best part came in Hall B．We agreed to join a workshop. Using clay, we created mini artworks while
rain filled the streets outside. I made a crooked vase but laughed harder than ever.
At lunch, we shared stories under umbrellas. Jake played his recordings—Ms. Lane’s voice mixed with our
giggles. “This is better than any history video!” he said.
Finally, on the bus back, Ms. Lane smiled: “Today wasn’t about perfect art. You experienced how history
lives.” Looking at my muddy vase, I realized messy moments sometimes teach the most.

“The bird has found fish,” he said aloud. No flying fish broke the surface of the sea and there was no
scattering (散落) of bait (诱饵) fish in the water. But as the old man watched, a small tuna (金枪鱼) rose in the air,
turned and dropped head first into the water. The tuna shone silver in the sun and after he had dropped back into
the water, more tuna started jumping out of the water in all directions, chasing after the bait. They were circling it
and driving it.
“If they don’t travel too fast, I will get into them.” the old man thought, and he watched the tuna making the
water white and the bird diving down to catch the bait fish that were forced to the surface in their fear.
“The bird is a great help,” the old man said. Just then, the fishing line at the back of the boat grew tight
under his foot. He dropped his oars (船桨) and felt the weight of the tuna, and began to pull it in. When he pulled,
he could see the blue back of the fish in the water and its golden sides. Finally, he lifted the fish into the boat. The
tuna lay in the boat in the sun. He was small and shaped like a bullet. His big eyes stared when he hit against the
floor of the boat with his tail. The old man hit him on the head to calm him down and then pushed him to the back
of the boat.
“He’ll make a beautiful bait. He’ll weigh ten pounds,” the old man said aloud.

Gentle Giants: African Elephants
Elephants are my favorite animals in the world. These amazing creatures live in African forests and
grasslands. Did you know elephants are the largest land animals An adult elephant can carry up to 9,000
kilograms with its strong trunk! Their long trunks help them pick leaves from tall trees and drink water easily.
African elephants have very special families. They live in groups called herds, with many female elephants
taking care of baby elephants together. The little elephants stay with their mothers for about 16 years! Though
they look quite big and sometimes dangerous, elephants are actually friendly animals if we don’t hurt them. They
never attack first unless they feel scared.
Sadly, these wonderful animals need our help. People cut down too many trees in elephant habitats, leaving
them without enough food. Some bad hunters kill elephants for their ivory tusks. Every year, about 20,000
elephants die because of this. We must save these intelligent animals before they disappear forever!
Why are elephants important to our environment They help forests grow by carrying seeds in their waste.
Their big footprints even create small pools of water for other animals! If we protect elephants, we’re also saving
many other forest creatures.
What can we do Never buy ivory products. Support organizations that take care of wild elephants.
Remember—when we protect nature, we’re protecting our future too!
1．Where do African elephants mainly live
A．Asian mountains. B．African forests and grasslands.
C．European zoos. D．Australian deserts.

Unit 2 单元话题
It is Julia’s 10th birthday. Her mum comes to her school and joins the fun. The classmates say “Happy
Birthday” to Julia. Then Julia’s mum hands out the birthday treats.
She is very good at making sweets. But this year, she brings some pencils. Why Because Julia’s school
makes a new rule that the sweet treats are not allowed (允许) at school parties.
Julia’s school is not the only school to ban (禁止) the sweet treats. Some American experts think that fewer
sweets will be good for kids’ health. One third of American kids are overweight. Being overweight may lead to
serious health problems.
Of course, most kids don’t like this rule. They say, “What’s fun about a party if there are no cupcakes ”
And many parents don’t like the rule, either. “I want my kids to be healthy,” says one of the parents. “But eating
the birthday cake is an important tradition.”
How does Julia’s mum feel about this rule She is sad when she first learns of the rule. But Julia’s
classmates like the pencils very much. That makes her feel better.
1．Where does Julia celebrate her birthday
A．At home. B．In a park. C．At school. D．In a hotel.
2．Why doesn’t Julia’s mum bring sweet treats this year
A．Because she is too busy to make them.
B．Because they are not popular anymore.
C．Because she isn’t good at making them.
D．Because the new school rule doesn’t allow her to do so.
3．What does the underlined word “overweight” mean
A．Too heavy. B．Too serious. C．So strong. D．So active.
4．What does “That” refer to
A．Julia likes what her mum does for her birthday.
B．Julia’s mum doesn’t need to go to school parties.
C．Julia’s mum doesn’t have to make sweets.
D．Julia’s classmates like the pencils her mum prepares for them.
5．What can we learn from the passage
A．Julia is eleven years old after the party.
B．Most kids like cupcakes at the school parties.
C．The new rule becomes popular among kids.
D．Julia’s mum never makes the sweet treats for Julia.
Family rules help children learn what is and isn’t OK in the family. Good family rules are easy for children
to understand.
Mum gives us some rules at home: Clean your rooms every other day. Be ready (准备好) for dinner at 7:00
p.m. That means sitting at the table with clean hands. If Mum is having a meeting in the house, be very quiet. That
means turning down the music. Be ready for bed at 9:30 p.m. and get up at 7:30 a.m. Take out the rubbish (垃圾)
on Mondays before school. Clean the bathroom on Fridays.
Following these rules sometimes can be difficult. For example, if your room is really dirty and you can’t
finish cleaning it on that day, you have to finish it the next day, along with something else you have to do. That
isn’t easy. So never put off today’s work until tomorrow.
Mum makes these rules because she loves us a lot. She wants us to learn how to be on time, be clean and
tidy and be polite. These rules help make our family warm and happy.
1．What should the children do according to the rules
①Clean their rooms every day. ②Never watch TV again.

How many steps should you walk each day to stay healthy and live a long life Many people believe the
magic number is 10,000 steps. However, a study shows that fewer steps can be just as good, especially if you are
60 or over.
The idea of walking 10,000 steps came from a Japanese company selling a device (设备) to count steps
back in 1965. The company called it the “Manpo Metre”, which means the “10,000-step metre”. Walking 10,000
steps is a well-known daily walking goal, but scientists say it isn’t a rule.
Scientists looked at 15 studies with nearly 48,000 people. They find that the more the people walk, the
longer they live. However, older and younger people need different numbers of steps. For people over 60, walking
more than 6,000 to 8,000 steps a day doesn’t make the risk (风险) of early death go down any more. For people
between 18 and 59, the risk stops going down after 8,000 to 10,000 steps.
The scientists also grouped people according to their step count. The lowest group walked about 3,500
steps every day, and the highest group took about 10,900 steps every day. The people in the group doing the most
steps had a 40% to 53% lower risk of early death than those who walked the least.
The scientists said that knowing the best number of steps for different ages could help give better advice for
staying healthy.

Healthy Eating Habits: Your Plate, Your Power
How often do you think about the connection between your meals and health Let’s discover how small
choices can bring big changes!
The Problem with Common Habits
Many customers at fast-food restaurants face the same issue: ordering fries instead of salads. Does this

eat enough vegetables, which may result in poor concentration at school.
Building a Balanced Diet
Ask yourself: Is this meal balanced or not A perfect plate should include:
Proteins (蛋白质) (grilled chicken/fish)
Whole grains (brown rice/whole-wheat bread)
Colorful vegetable (carrots/spinach)
When reading a menu, try this: Would you prefer steamed broccoli or fried potatoes Always pick the
lighter option!
Restaurants now serve smaller portions. Remember: Eating enough means stopping when you’re 80% full.

Many people like sugar. Do you know where we get sugar from Most of our sugar comes from two plants:
sugar cane (甘蔗) and sugar beets (甜菜). Sugar cane is a tall plant. It grows in hot countries. However, sugar beet
grows in cool places.
There are many different kinds of sugar, and we use them in different ways. We can often see white sugar
in our lives. You can put it in your tea or coffee. Brown sugar has a strong taste. People often use it to make cakes.
Is sugar nice or harmful It’s difficult to say. In some traditional ways, sugar is useful for our bodies and
makes us strong. But eating too much sugar isn’t good for our teeth. It can hurt our teeth and make us fat. Being
fat can bring us many health problems. So if you like sugar, it’s important to eat it in a right way. Make sure not to
eat too much. A little sugar is fine and can give you some power. You can eat lots of healthy food like fruits and
vegetables, take lots of exercise and make your teeth clean every day! In the future, cars will even run on sugar,
Some people in America are making sugar into fuel (燃料) for their cars. To keep healthy, we should remember: a
little sugar goes a long way!

Do you have friends or family members who live in other parts of China For example, maybe you live in
Beijing, but you have cousins in Chongqing. But luckily, if you want to call them on the phone, you don’t have to
worry about which time zone you are in. This is because nearly all of China follows a single standard time (单一
标准的时间).
But some countries have many different time zones. For example, the US has five different time zones. My
hometown New York is in the Eastern Time Zone. But my friends in California are in the Pacific Time Zone,
which is three hours behind my time zone. So, if I want to call them, I have to plan with them before calling to
make sure we are both free at the same time.
Actually, there is one exception (例外) in China: the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region (新疆维吾尔自治
区). In this region, people either follow Beijing Time—the time that the rest of the country follows—or Xinjiang
Time, which is about two hours behind Beijing Time.
For the first year I lived in China, I would often get phone calls from my mother very late at night because
she forgot to consider the time difference.

2．Why does the writer have to make a plan with friends before calling
A．Because they are both free.

C．Because they are in the same country.
D．Because they are in different time zones.
3．What does the underlined word “consider” mean
A．认为 B．关心 C．考虑 D．拒绝

B．All of China follows a single standard time.
C．People in Xinjiang can choose the time they use.
D．It is 10:00 in New York when it is 12:00 in California.
5．What is the best title for this passage
A．Learn to Save Time B．Make Plans before Calling
C．Xinjiang Time D．Different Countries, Different Times

Hot, hot, it’s too hot! At this time every year, I really miss the snow that falls in my hometown. I’m from a
small village in the northern part of the USA．We get lots of snow every year.
The snow stays around for months and months. When it snows at night, everything becomes quiet. It’s
almost like there is no sound at all. It feels like you’re on the moon.
And during the day, there are many fun things you can do in the snow. You can have snowball fights with
your friends. You can build a snowman with your parents. You can go sledding (乘雪橇) down a big hill. Or you
can even play sports such as skiing, snowboarding and ice skating.

A Meaningful School Trip
Last autumn, our class took a memorable trip to the City History Museum. At first, I thought it would be
terrible—who enjoys dusty exhibits But what happened next changed my mind.
We explored ancient tools in Hall A．Ms. Lane, our guide, taught us how people created pottery 3,000 years
ago. My friend Jake recorded her explanations on his phone. Suddenly, we realized the microphone wasn’t
working! Ms. Lane’s voice filled the silent room like a storyteller’s.
The best part came in Hall B．We agreed to join a workshop. Using clay, we created mini artworks while
rain filled the streets outside. I made a crooked vase but laughed harder than ever.
At lunch, we shared stories under umbrellas. Jake played his recordings—Ms. Lane’s voice mixed with our
giggles. “This is better than any history video!” he said.
Finally, on the bus back, Ms. Lane smiled: “Today wasn’t about perfect art. You experienced how history
lives.” Looking at my muddy vase, I realized messy moments sometimes teach the most.

“Hometown” is a word full of warmth and beauty. How would you show your love for your hometown At
the final of a national English-speaking competition, contestants from all, over China shared their own stories.
Wang Siqi from Nanjing International School, Jiangsu, talked about her hometown Nanjing. “I used to live
in the US, and my parents kept telling me everything about Nanjing. When I came back at age 9, I felt even closer
to this city. Tasting its foods and hanging around in its universities, I was like a child who had missed her mom for
too long, ” said Wang. “The competition gave me a great chance to show my love for Nanjing. ”

Lan. “I believe this is the power of public speaking,” Lan added. “By using logic and emotion, you can better
share your opinions, promoting (增进) understanding and removing prejudice (消除偏见).”

familiar with their hometown, my hometown is a ‘stranger’ to me. But thanks to the competition, I did a lot of

share it with everyone,” said Yang.

After 84 days, the old man looked up and saw the bird was circling again now.
“The bird has found fish,” he said aloud. No flying fish broke the surface of the sea and there was no
scattering (散落) of bait (诱饵) fish in the water. But as the old man watched, a small tuna (金枪鱼) rose in the air,
turned and dropped head first into the water. The tuna shone silver in the sun and after he had dropped back into
the water, more tuna started jumping out of the water in all directions, chasing after the bait. They were circling it
and driving it.
“If they don’t travel too fast, I will get into them.” the old man thought, and he watched the tuna making the
water white and the bird diving down to catch the bait fish that were forced to the surface in their fear.
“The bird is a great help,” the old man said. Just then, the fishing line at the back of the boat grew tight
under his foot. He dropped his oars (船桨) and felt the weight of the tuna, and began to pull it in. When he pulled,
he could see the blue back of the fish in the water and its golden sides. Finally, he lifted the fish into the boat. The
tuna lay in the boat in the sun. He was small and shaped like a bullet. His big eyes stared when he hit against the
floor of the boat with his tail. The old man hit him on the head to calm him down and then pushed him to the back
of the boat.
