Jimmy and Li Lei are listening to Mr. Peterson, their P.E. teacher, tell them that they are going to play dodge ball in class. Li Lei, concerned(担心的) she will look silly because she does not know how to play it, looks for help. Jimmy sees her worried look, so he asks, “Li Lei, What’s wrong ”
Li Lei answers, “In China, we play dodge ball, but I think it’s different from the American style, so I don’t know how to play it in the American way.”
Jimmy is eager to help Li Lei, an exchange student at his school. He says, “It’s not too hard. First, there are five balls. Mr. Peterson puts all of the balls in the middle of the court. The two teams stand at different ends of the court. Then, Mr. Peterson blows his whistle(哨子) to start the game. When you hear the whistle, run and try to take one of the balls. Then, throw the ball at the members of the opposite team.”
Li Lei asks, “What about catching the ball If I catch the ball, am I out ”
“Actually, if you catch the ball, then the person who threw the ball is out. Also, one member from your own team can come back and play when you catch the ball.”
Li Lei is still worried. “There are so many balls. I’m afraid I won’t see one thrown at me. What if a ball hits me on the head and breaks my glasses ”
Jimmy says, “People aren’t supposed to throw at your head. If someone hits you on the head, then that person is out. Also, the balls are soft, so they won’t hurt you. But be careful. Sometimes, one player distracts(使……分心) you while another player tries to hit you. Lastly, when time is up, Mr. Peterson will count the members left in each team. If , the other team wins.”
With the help of Jimmy, Li Lei doesn’t feel worried any more and says, “This sounds fun. I can’t wait to play.”

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）
On a small hill in Huaping, Yunnan, there is a small school. However, over the past twelve years, it has rewritten the fate（命运）of 1, 804 poor girls by sending them to universities.
Zhang Guimei, now 63, is the headmaster of this school. She began teaching in Huaping—one of China’s poorest areas—twenty years ago. The teacher wondered why many girls in her class would just one day stop coming to school. After some investigations, Zhang learned that they were from very poor families. These girls were forced to work or get married at a young age. “We often say that we want every child to have a fair start,” she said. “But these poor girls don’t even have a chance to stand on the starting line.”
Zhang wanted to change this. She spent years trying to raise money. Finally in 2008, she set up the Huaping High School for Girls. It’s China’s first and only free public high school for girls.
Zhang gets up at 5 a. m. every day to turn on the lights on each floor of the teaching building. Many girls are timid（胆怯）, the headmaster explains. She wants them to feel safer on their way to classes. After years of tiring work, Zhang is now in poor health, but the school and the children matter more than anything else in her mind.
Zhang’s story has warmed hearts all around China and inspired many to follow in her footsteps. Zhou Yunli was one of her students. After she finished university, she heard that her alma mater（母校）was short of math teachers. She immediately returned to the school to teach. “Without Ms Zhang, I would be nobody,” Zhou said with a smile. “When you become strong, you must remember to help others. This is what Ms Zhang taught us.”

Mary Anning: the Fossil Hunter
As a fossil（化石）scientist, Mary Anning made great contributions（贡献）to her field in the 19th century. Her name is now widely known in Britain and even Europe. But that was not always the case.
Anning was a talented woman. She did not receive any proper education and taught herself geology（地质学）and paleontology（古生物学）.
Anning grew up by the sea. At a young age, she showed great interest in studying the fossils along the coastline. Anning worked very hard. She went out in all weathers to search for fossils. At the age of 12, she uncovered a skeleton（骨架）that looked like a crocodile（鳄鱼）. Then, after ten years of tireless effort, she made an amazing discovery. It was a huge fossil of something that the world had never seen before.
However, many of Anning’s findings disagreed with theories that had been widely accepted. What’s more, at that time, people had little respect for female scientists. Anning’s findings were even published without her name. During her lifetime, the woman was never seriously considered to be a scientist.
But such troubles didn’t stop Anning from making more discoveries. The woman was still keen on studying all sizes and types of fossils alongside the sea. Her discoveries helped to prove the existence of some extinct（已灭绝的）animals. They formed the basis for Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species（《物种起源》）.
In recent years, more and more people have come to realize the importance of Anning’s work. She is now listed among the top ten British women who have greatly affected the history of science. Anning was an ambitious and hard-working woman in history. She deserves to be remembered.

Once upon a time, a man was lucky to have a loving son. But the young man never had to deal with any problems.
“My boy should have some experience of dealing with ill luck,” thought the father, so he sent the son into the forest to bring back some wood. Only an old cart (马车) with two oxen (公牛) was free for the work.
“If your cart breaks up in the forest, ‘Necessity’ will teach you what to do,” the man said. The son thought that “Necessity” must be a kind man who lived in the forest and helped people in trouble.
The son drove far into the forest and found lots of good trees. He cut down the trees and put the wood onto the cart. When the cart was full, he set off for home. However, as he drove over the rough ground, one of the axles (车轴) broke.
“I hope that ‘Necessity’ is nearby,” thought the son. Then he ran all the way through the forest and shouted, “NECESSITY! NE-CESS-ITY!!”
No one answered.
“I will stop searching for Father’s clever friend,” he thought. “I will do the job myself. What useless advice Father gave me!”
He went back to the cart and started to repair the axle. When the work was done, he drove home. Finally, he made a fine job of both the repair and collecting good wood.

Philip is 55 and blind. He has been blind since birth. He says he does not feel like he is missing anything, because he cannot imagine what sight is like. He can smell a rose, but he cannot tell if it is red, or blue. It does not matter to him. He enjoys the beauty of the scent（pleasant smell）itself.
People sometimes take pity on him, but he never complains. He does not feel cheated by Mother Nature. But his life is not always a bed of roses. It is difficult for him to travel. He cannot drive, of course. He travels by bus. At home, he cannot just look out of the window to see what the weather is like, and then dress appropriately. He can’t look at the clock on the wall to see what time it is. He uses his Braille watch or a special radio for that.
Philip can look for and look at, but he cannot see. He says strangers often correct themselves when talking to him. They’ll say, “I see,” meaning “I understand.” But then they think they’ve been rude, so they’ll correct themselves and say, “I mean, I understand.”
Philip has never seen a good movie or a bad TV show. He doesn’t know what a sunset or a full moon looks like. He is a musician. He plays the saxophone, but not in a band. Four times a week, he travels to Old Town in Pasadena on the bus in the afternoon. He gets off at the bus stop and then finds his way across the street to The Cap, a hat store. On the side walk in front of The Cap is his “spot”. There, he puts a hat, upside down with change in it. He sits down and starts playing his saxophone. He usually spends about four hours there and earns from $10 to $30.

Last month, the Grade Nine students in Garden School had a debate(辩论) on the topic “Is it a good idea for parents to talk about the family finances(家庭财政) with their kids ”. Here are some opinions from Lisa, one of the students who thinks it is a good idea.
Most parents believe it is not proper to tell their kids about how much they make and how much they spend, so most families don’t talk about money with their kids. They basically feel it is not their concern. You could easily agree. But is it really none of our business Doesn’t our parents’ income(收入) affect us They use the money to pay for food, clothing and shelter. If they lost their jobs and became unemployed, wouldn’t that affect us, too
I’m not going to say parents should show their kids every bill before paying it or that they should ask their kids for advice on big financial decisions, but I will say they should keep kids involved and informed. It is part of teaching them about money and life. Kids follow their parents’ every move and learn from them.
Parents have to teach their kids about money because kids don’t learn it in school. As a parent, it’s necessary to teach them about saving, investing and staying away from credit(赊欠). Also, parents have to manage their own money well if they really want to set an example.
So I think it’s a good idea for parents to talk about the family finances with their kids. Tell them how much your salary is. It might help them decide which career to choose. Tell them how you spend your own money and talk to them before you make big purchases such as a new car. Include them in the process so that they know how it works and are satisfied with it. You can include them more and more as they get older. Don’t make money a taboo(禁忌) issue in your home.
58．Most families talk about money with their kids, don’t they

Because it can help me decide which career to choose and it is part of teaching me about money and life.
【导语】本文主要通过Lisa的观点来表示父母应该和孩子谈论家里的财政。
58．根据“so most families don’t talk about money with their kids.”可知，大多数家庭不会和孩子谈钱。因此作否定回答。故填No, they don’t.
59．根据“Last month, the Grade Nine students in Garden School had a debate(辩论) on the topic ‘Is it a good idea for parents to talk about the family finances(家庭财政) with their kids ’.”可知，是上个月举行的辩论。故填Last month.
60．根据“They use the money to pay for food, clothing and shelter.”可知，他们用这些钱来支付食物、衣服和住所。故填Parents/They use money to pay for food, clothing and shelter.

Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题)
Different Attitudes towards Hairstyles
A new research shows that women try 150 different hairstyles in their lifetime, including various cuts, colours and shapes. However, men settle(固定) on their favourite hairstyle after trying only 5 different cuts.
The study of 2,000 women has found that women visit the hairdresser five times a year on average, and about 100 like to try something different with each trip to the hairdresser. Almost half are willing to be experimental and change their hairstyle.
Women are likely to go for two new styles and at least one colour change every year between the ages of 15 and 65. The study found that 64 percent of women will change their hair simply because they are bored with their current style. Nearly 12 percent will change their hair so as to look like a celebrity(名人) while 15 percent will change their style for a wedding. 13 percent of women would change their hairstyle after having a baby. Other reasons for trying a new hairstyle were birthdays.
However, men are not as troublesome as women. They only try five different hairstyles and then stick to their favourite one in their lifetime. Men usually stick with just one style because of its being convenient (68 percent) or being liked by their partner (10 percent).
The study of 2,000 men also noticed how celebrity hairstyles(名人发型) have the influence on them and what kind of haircuts would be more fashionable in their eyes. 400 of them admit they want to grow their hair longer to copy the likes of David Beckham and actor Brad Pitt, while 240 consider dying(染色) their hair grey, to keep up with fashion trends(潮流). Actually, a hairstyle that stands for one’s personality is the first choice for men.
63．Who try more different hairstyles before settling on their favourite, men or women
________________________________
64．In the study, how often do women like to visit the hairdresser on average
________________________________
65．What is the reason for 64% of women to change their hairstyles (in Part.3)
________________________________
66．Why do most men stick with just one hairstyle in this article
________________________________
67．How many men in the study would like to copy the likes of the celebrities
________________________________
68．Do you agree that a hairstyle can stand for one’s personality Why or Why not
________________________________
【答案】63．Women. 64．Five times a year. 65．They are bored with their current style. 66．Because they think it is convenient. 67．400. 68．No. Because some people choose different hairstyles just for happiness and fun.
【导语】本文主要讲述了男女对于发型的改变情况。
63．根据“A new research shows that women try 150 different hairstyles in their lifetime, including various cuts, colours and shapes. However, men settle(固定) on their favourite hairstyle after trying only 5 different cuts.”可知，女性在决定自己最喜欢的发型之前会尝试更多的发型，故填Women.
64．根据“The study of 2,000 women has found that women visit the hairdresser five times a year on average”可知，女性平均每年去理发店五次，故填Five times a year.
65．根据“The study found that 64 percent of women will change their hair simply because they are bored with their current style.”可知，64%的女性仅仅因为厌倦了目前的发型就会换发型，故填They are bored with their current style.
66．根据“Men usually stick with just one style because of its being convenient (68 percent) or being liked by their partner (10 percent).”可知，大多数男性通常只会选择一种风格，因为这样方便，故填Because they think it is convenient.
67．根据“400 of them admit they want to grow their hair longer to copy the likes of David Beckham and actor Brad Pitt”可知，其中400人承认他们想把头发留长以效仿大卫·贝克汉姆和演员布拉德·皮特，故填400.
68．主观题，言之有理即可。故填No. Because some people choose different hairstyles just for happiness and fun.

Wearing long robes (长袍) and tall hats, a group of foreigners went on stage and performed Peking Opera and ballads (民谣), as well as spoke Chinese.
You can see scenes like this at the 12th “Chinese bridge”—Chinese Proficiency (能力) Competition for Foreign Secondary School Students. Known as the “Olympics” of Chinese language, the competition took place in Zhengzhou, Henan on Nov 2.
More than 120 students, representing 105 countries, gave Chinese speeches and showed off their talent in areas such as kung fu, tai chi and calligraphy (书法).
Mackova Victoria, a 15-year-old girl from Slovakia, performed Wuqinxi at the competition. She imitated the movements of a tiger, deer, hear, ape and bird on stage. She gained an interest in traditional martial arts (武术) after she found that it could help her relax her muscles (肌肉) and stay fit. “The 2,000-year-old exercise is cool, but few people have heard of it,” Victoria told Xinhua. “I want more foreign people to appreciate it, as well as appreciate Chinese culture.”
Raissa, 17, from the Union of the Comoros, sang the Chinese song Wish You Safe and Well (祝你平安) during the second-round competition. “It is also my sincere wish for the people of China and the Comoros,” said Raissa. After doctors on the Chinese medical team in Africa cured her grandmother three years ago, Raissa developed a strong emotional connection with China. “My dream is to study medicine in China so that I could cure patients like the Chinese doctors who treated my grandmother,” said Raissa.
At the end of the final contest, Germole Iacopo from Italy, who has studied Chinese for four years, won as the champion (冠军). For him, the competition gave him a chance to communicate with young people all around the world. “We should learn to appreciate each other’s differences,” Germole said.
The competition is a “bridge” that shows “________.”, according to Liu Limin, board member of the Confucius Institute (孔子学院). “By studying a language, you actually start to connect with that culture,” Liu added.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题)
I AM THE PINE
“Look,” I said to my friend Mandy, holding up the bright-red paper. “There’s a five-day art camp this summer.”
Mandy took the paper and looked at it. “Tessa, you should go. You’re the artist. I am not.”
“You can learn with me.” I said in an encouraging voice. “I really didn’t want to go alone.”
Mandy smiled, “I tried, but my little brother thought the corns I painted were rockets.”
Later, I called my other friends, but none of them could go with me. Disappointed, I decided to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree. Drawing always made me feel better. On the way, I thought about the art camp and wished I felt a little braver. Mandy could make friends with others in 10 minutes, but I was embarrassed when there were no familiar faces around me. By the time I arrived there, I had made myself believe that I was happy to give up going to the camp.
I took out my pencils and started drawing the strong trunk of the pine. Once I started, I didn’t notice the fly buzzing around me. That’s why I jumped when Mr. Weston talked behind me, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree.” “Thanks.” I smiled. Mr. Weston continued, “I’ve planted pine trees before. You have to spread out the roots near the surface so the tree can get enough water and grow tall. If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dries up and dies. Roots grow out, not down.”
Now I noticed the roots all around the tree. I’d never realized how far a tree’s roots stretched (延伸) outward. It made me think about the art camp and my own roots. I was planting myself into one deep spot because it felt safer. If I wanted to grow, I had to start reaching out too.
That night, I made my final decision. I felt nervous but excited. “I am stretching my roots out into new earth so I can grow”, I thought. “I am the pine”.
58．How long would the art camp last
___________________________________________________________.
59．Who was good at art, the writer or her friend Mandy
___________________________________________________________.
60．Why did the writer decide to give up going to the art camp at first

62．According to Mr. Weston’s experience, what makes a pine tree grow tall
___________________________________________________________.
63．What is the implied(隐含的) meaning of the underlined sentence And what may the writer do later
___________________________________________________________.
【答案】58．(For) 5 days. 59．The writer (Tessa). 60．Because she was embarrassed when there were no familiar faces around her. 61．(The writer/She felt) surprised/frightened/scared/... 62．Spreading out the roots near the surface. 63．I will leave the comfort zone/challenge myself and go farther/step forward. She may take part in the art camp.
【导语】本文主要讲述作者的朋友无法陪她去参加艺术夏令营，她想放弃，但后来通过画松树和Mr. Weston的交谈中意识到要像松树一样，把根扎延伸出去才能生长。
58．根据“There’s a five-day art camp this summer.”，可知艺术夏令营持续五天。故填(For) 5 days。
59．根据“Tessa, you should go. You’re the artist. I am not.”，可知作者Tessa擅长艺术。故填The write (Tessa)。
60．根据“I was embarrassed when there were no familiar faces around me.”，可知作者在没有熟悉面孔时会很尴尬，这使得在没有朋友陪她参加夏令营时，她想放弃。故填Because she was embarrassed when there were no familiar faces around her.

63．作者把自己比作松树，要将树根铺在地表附近而不是扎在地面深处，说明作者要改变自己，走出舒适区，她可能会接受挑战独自去参加艺术夏令营。故填I will leave the comfort zone/challenge myself and go farther/step forward. She may take part in the art camp.

After a long silence, the door opened and a small woman in her eighties stood before me. She has a small suitcase beside her. I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help her. She took my arm and walked slowly toward the car. She kept thanking me for my kindness.
“It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you’re such a good young man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through city center ”
“It’s not the shortest way.” I answered immediately.

I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答问题）
Three years ago, Cash Daniels was walking on a beach when he found some plastic. He started thinking about the effect plastic pollution has on the environment, especially on rivers and oceans. That’s when he got interested in environmental issues.
Cash, now 12, found that rivers are at the heart of the problem. A report in Science Advances said that far more rivers are carrying large amounts of plastic into our oceans than was once thought. This news hit close to home for Cash. He lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The city sits on the Tennessee River. It’s one of the most polluted rivers in the world. This information led Cash to take action. He made it his mission to clear garbage from public spaces and waterways.
At first, Cash and his parents worked to pick up garbage near the Tennessee River. But soon he realized he would need more help. So he organized community cleanup outings. Eventually, he and other volunteers removed more than 11,000 pounds of garbage from the river. Cash has also partnered with businesses to recycle plastic bottles and cans. He has recycled more than 2,000 pounds of them. The money he earned from that supported river protection efforts. Cash loves sea animals. By cleaning waterways, he helps protect these creatures.
He also set up fishing-line recycling containers(容器) along the Tennessee River. People can throw away their fishing line in these instead of in the water, where it entangles(缠住) wildlife.
Cash enjoys getting other kids involved in these activities. He wrote a children’s book called One Small Piece. It’s about pollution in waterways and oceans. Cash also co-founded the Cleanup Kids. The group encourages children not to throw away anything that can be recycled. “Kids may be small percentage of the population,” Cash says, “but they are 100% of the future.”

Seba grew up with music all around. Before he turned three, his parents asked him what he wanted for his birthday. “Drums!” he answered. His parents weren’t sure, but after seeing him play the drums at a local music store, they decided he was serious. They bought him a junior drum kit (成套的架子鼓). “He didn’t stop playing—ever,” says his dad.
But two months later, Seba grew upset. He couldn’t make the sounds he wanted with his junior drum kit. His parents bought him a professional drum kit and signed him up for lessons. In just a few months, his drum teacher reported that Seba was learning extremely quickly and needed a higher level of training. He was still four.

He did schoolwork in the mornings. In the afternoons he worked on music. And at night he usually worked on music some more.
In May, 2021, Seba became the youngest person ever to receive a professional certificate from Berklee. The certificate is equal to about four college-level classes.

根据短文内容完整回答下列问题。
A 70-year-old man decided to take part in 70 different sports on his 70th birthday. He did quite a good job. When asked why, he said it was simply to have some fun. He had played sport as a youngster and never stopped. Here is what the old man said to a reporter about his doing sports that year.
What was the sport you tried first
Shortly after my 70th birthday, I tried paddle-boarding. Family members were greatly entertained watching me first try to get on the board, then stand on the board and finally fall into the water before trying all over again. The lesson I learned was “Perseverance paid off”. Eventually I stood, I balanced and I paddled. It was an early success. Then I started to teach myself the basics of figure skating. They made it look so easy on the screen. But trying a simple spin （快速旋转） left me falling down on the ice, my elbow and knee hurting. I refused to give up. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. In this case, I learned the skills of the sport-enough to do a very short program-and performed it for my family and anyone else who happened to be around at the community club.
Besides the fashionable sports, were there any regular sports among your list
There were some individual sports I took turns to do during the day: running, jumping, walking. For track, I built my own high jump and hurdles.
4
Sure. My family’s support was essential. My wife photographed every event for me to check later. My three sons were always ready for a game, like beach volleyball. The game brought the whole family together.
Definitely you had fun. What else kept you doing such a variety of sports
There were some health advantages, too. Over the longer term came the realization that dreams are important, regardless of how unbelievable they might seem. As we age, our hopes and dreams may change, but one should never let them disappear.
74．When interviewed, the old man was going to have his 70th birthday, wasn’t he
_______________, _________________________.
75．What did the old man keep doing so many different sports for
He kept doing this for ______________ and ______________.
76．What does the underlined part “Perseverance paid off. “mean
It means ______________.
77．What question may the reporter ask in the blank
The question may be like this, “______________”.
78．List at least two things the family did for the old man when he was exercising.
______________________________________________
79．What do you think of the old man Why
______________________________________________
【答案】74． No he wasn’t. 75． fun health/dreams 76．one may succeed finally if one keeps doing one thing and never stops halfway/he succeeded after trying again and again although there were failures 77．Did you get support from your family /Did your family support you 78．His wife photographed every event for him to check later. His sons joined him in the beach volleyball. 79．He was positive towards life and brave enough to try something new. (He was energetic and full of dreams.) Although he was very old, he still had dreams and took action to realize them. He overcame difficulties and got skills of some sports through hard work and he never gave up easily.
【导语】本文是讲述了记者对一位70岁爱运动的老人的采访。
74．根据文中“Here is what the old man said to a reporter about his doing sports that year.”可知，接受采访时，这位老人已过完70岁生日，故填No；he wasn’t.
75．根据文中“Definitely you had fun…There were some health advantages, too…As we age, our hopes and dreams may change, but one should never let them disappear”可知，这位老人一直做这么多不同的运动是为了快乐、健康或梦想，故填fun；health/dreams。
76．根据文中“Family members…get on the board, then stand on the board and finally fall into the water before trying all over again. Eventually I stood, I balanced and I paddled. It was an early success.”可知，“Perseverance paid off”应意为“如果一个人坚持做一件事而不半途而废，他最终可能会成功”，故填one may succeed finally if one keeps doing one thing and never stops halfway/he succeeded after trying again and again although there were failures。
77．根据下文“Sure. My family’s support was essential. ”可知，空格处是问家人是否支持，故填Did you get support from your family /Did your family support you
78．根据文中“My wife photographed every event for me to check later. My three sons were always ready for a game, like beach volleyball. The game brought the whole family together.”可知，他的妻子把每件事都拍了下来，让他稍后查看，他的儿子们和他一起参加沙滩排球比赛，故填His wife photographed every event for him to check later. His sons joined him in the beach volleyball.
79．根据全文70岁老人的运动经历，我认为他对生活态度积极，勇于尝试新事物，或者说他精力充沛，充满梦想。因为虽然他已经很老了，但他仍然有梦想，并采取行动实现梦想。他克服了困难，通过努力获得了一些运动技能，他从未轻易放弃。故填He was positive towards life and brave enough to try something new. (He was energetic and full of dreams.) Although he was very old, he still had dreams and took action to realize them.

Jack London was born in California, USA, in 1876. As a young man in 1897, he took part in the famous Klondike Gold Rush, when a huge number of people rushed to the Yukon in Canada to look for gold. When London returned to California in 1898, he started writing stories. His novels The Call of the Wild and White Fang are based on his experiences in the Yukon. He died in 1916.
An extract [1] from The call of the wild
Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that trouble was coming for every big dog in California. Men had found gold in the Yukon, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work in the cold and snow of the north.
Buck lived in Mr Miller’s big house in the sunny Santa Clara valley. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many dogs. There were house dogs and farm dogs, but they were not important. Buck was chief dog; he was born here, and this was his place. He was four years old and weighed sixty kilos. He went swimming with Mr Miller’s sons and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr Miller’s feet in front of the fire in winter.
But this was 1897, and Buck did not know that men and dogs were hurrying to north-west Canada to look for gold. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr Miller’s gardeners, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr Miller was out, Manuel and Buck left the garden together. It was just an evening walk, Buck thought. No one saw them go, and only one man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck’s neck.
Buck growled[2], and was surprised when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man. The man caught him and suddenly Buck was on his back with his tongue out of his mouth. For a few moments he was unable to move, and it was easy for the two men to put him into the train.
When Buck woke up, the train was still moving. The man was sitting and watching him, but Buck was too quick for him and he bit the man’s hand hard. Then the rope was pulled again and Buck had to let go.

Jimmy and Li Lei are listening to Mr. Peterson, their P.E. teacher, tell them that they are going to play dodge ball in class. Li Lei, concerned(担心的) she will look silly because she does not know how to play it, looks for help. Jimmy sees her worried look, so he asks, “Li Lei, What’s wrong ”
Li Lei answers, “In China, we play dodge ball, but I think it’s different from the American style, so I don’t know how to play it in the American way.”
Jimmy is eager to help Li Lei, an exchange student at his school. He says, “It’s not too hard. First, there are five balls. Mr. Peterson puts all of the balls in the middle of the court. The two teams stand at different ends of the court. Then, Mr. Peterson blows his whistle(哨子) to start the game. When you hear the whistle, run and try to take one of the balls. Then, throw the ball at the members of the opposite team.”
Li Lei asks, “What about catching the ball If I catch the ball, am I out ”
“Actually, if you catch the ball, then the person who threw the ball is out. Also, one member from your own team can come back and play when you catch the ball.”
Li Lei is still worried. “There are so many balls. I’m afraid I won’t see one thrown at me. What if a ball hits me on the head and breaks my glasses ”
Jimmy says, “People aren’t supposed to throw at your head. If someone hits you on the head, then that person is out. Also, the balls are soft, so they won’t hurt you. But be careful. Sometimes, one player distracts(使……分心) you while another player tries to hit you. Lastly, when time is up, Mr. Peterson will count the members left in each team. If , the other team wins.”
With the help of Jimmy, Li Lei doesn’t feel worried any more and says, “This sounds fun. I can’t wait to play.”

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）
On a small hill in Huaping, Yunnan, there is a small school. However, over the past twelve years, it has rewritten the fate（命运）of 1, 804 poor girls by sending them to universities.
Zhang Guimei, now 63, is the headmaster of this school. She began teaching in Huaping—one of China’s poorest areas—twenty years ago. The teacher wondered why many girls in her class would just one day stop coming to school. After some investigations, Zhang learned that they were from very poor families. These girls were forced to work or get married at a young age. “We often say that we want every child to have a fair start,” she said. “But these poor girls don’t even have a chance to stand on the starting line.”
Zhang wanted to change this. She spent years trying to raise money. Finally in 2008, she set up the Huaping High School for Girls. It’s China’s first and only free public high school for girls.
Zhang gets up at 5 a. m. every day to turn on the lights on each floor of the teaching building. Many girls are timid（胆怯）, the headmaster explains. She wants them to feel safer on their way to classes. After years of tiring work, Zhang is now in poor health, but the school and the children matter more than anything else in her mind.
Zhang’s story has warmed hearts all around China and inspired many to follow in her footsteps. Zhou Yunli was one of her students. After she finished university, she heard that her alma mater（母校）was short of math teachers. She immediately returned to the school to teach. “Without Ms Zhang, I would be nobody,” Zhou said with a smile. “When you become strong, you must remember to help others. This is what Ms Zhang taught us.”

Mary Anning: the Fossil Hunter
As a fossil（化石）scientist, Mary Anning made great contributions（贡献）to her field in the 19th century. Her name is now widely known in Britain and even Europe. But that was not always the case.
Anning was a talented woman. She did not receive any proper education and taught herself geology（地质学）and paleontology（古生物学）.
Anning grew up by the sea. At a young age, she showed great interest in studying the fossils along the coastline. Anning worked very hard. She went out in all weathers to search for fossils. At the age of 12, she uncovered a skeleton（骨架）that looked like a crocodile（鳄鱼）. Then, after ten years of tireless effort, she made an amazing discovery. It was a huge fossil of something that the world had never seen before.
However, many of Anning’s findings disagreed with theories that had been widely accepted. What’s more, at that time, people had little respect for female scientists. Anning’s findings were even published without her name. During her lifetime, the woman was never seriously considered to be a scientist.
But such troubles didn’t stop Anning from making more discoveries. The woman was still keen on studying all sizes and types of fossils alongside the sea. Her discoveries helped to prove the existence of some extinct（已灭绝的）animals. They formed the basis for Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species（《物种起源》）.
In recent years, more and more people have come to realize the importance of Anning’s work. She is now listed among the top ten British women who have greatly affected the history of science. Anning was an ambitious and hard-working woman in history. She deserves to be remembered.

Once upon a time, a man was lucky to have a loving son. But the young man never had to deal with any problems.
“My boy should have some experience of dealing with ill luck,” thought the father, so he sent the son into the forest to bring back some wood. Only an old cart (马车) with two oxen (公牛) was free for the work.
“If your cart breaks up in the forest, ‘Necessity’ will teach you what to do,” the man said. The son thought that “Necessity” must be a kind man who lived in the forest and helped people in trouble.
The son drove far into the forest and found lots of good trees. He cut down the trees and put the wood onto the cart. When the cart was full, he set off for home. However, as he drove over the rough ground, one of the axles (车轴) broke.
“I hope that ‘Necessity’ is nearby,” thought the son. Then he ran all the way through the forest and shouted, “NECESSITY! NE-CESS-ITY!!”
No one answered.
“I will stop searching for Father’s clever friend,” he thought. “I will do the job myself. What useless advice Father gave me!”
He went back to the cart and started to repair the axle. When the work was done, he drove home. Finally, he made a fine job of both the repair and collecting good wood.
His father was pleased with him, but the boy was quite angry. “I could not find ‘Necessity’ anywhere,” said the son. “He did not teach me anything. All I’ve learned is that 6 .”
“There you are,” smiled the father. “‘Necessity’ did teach you a good lesson. I told you he would.”

Philip is 55 and blind. He has been blind since birth. He says he does not feel like he is missing anything, because he cannot imagine what sight is like. He can smell a rose, but he cannot tell if it is red, or blue. It does not matter to him. He enjoys the beauty of the scent（pleasant smell）itself.
People sometimes take pity on him, but he never complains. He does not feel cheated by Mother Nature. But his life is not always a bed of roses. It is difficult for him to travel. He cannot drive, of course. He travels by bus. At home, he cannot just look out of the window to see what the weather is like, and then dress appropriately. He can’t look at the clock on the wall to see what time it is. He uses his Braille watch or a special radio for that.
Philip can look for and look at, but he cannot see. He says strangers often correct themselves when talking to him. They’ll say, “I see,” meaning “I understand.” But then they think they’ve been rude, so they’ll correct themselves and say, “I mean, I understand.”
Philip has never seen a good movie or a bad TV show. He doesn’t know what a sunset or a full moon looks like. He is a musician. He plays the saxophone, but not in a band. Four times a week, he travels to Old Town in Pasadena on the bus in the afternoon. He gets off at the bus stop and then finds his way across the street to The Cap, a hat store. On the side walk in front of The Cap is his “spot”. There, he puts a hat, upside down with change in it. He sits down and starts playing his saxophone. He usually spends about four hours there and earns from $10 to $30.

“Hey, Dan, you look like the unhappiest guy in the world!” said Ella, as they volunteered as ushers (引座员) at the theater.
“Yeah,” Dan replied, trying to smile. “Remember the role you helped me practise last week Well, I failed again.” “Oh, Dan, keep practicing! You’ll be on the other side of the curtain one day,” said Ella.
Dan kept practicing. He sang day and night. He sang everywhere he went! He wanted to be an opera singer more than anything else in the world. He volunteered at the theater on Saturdays, but he needed to start earning money to pay for singing and Italian lessons.
One day Dan saw an ad asking for bicycle delivery men. Then he began his new job delivering food to customers all over the city. Dan thought it was very rewarding making hungry people happy, but he had a problem. He wasn’t getting enough time to practice singing. Then one day, he had a great idea.
Dan arrived at 52nd Street. “I have your burgers and your fries,” he sang. “I have your soda and your le-mon-ade...” The customers were very surprised! When he finished, they clapped and gave him a nice big tip.
One night, there was an order for lobster soup to a beautiful, big house on the river. Dan rang the bell, took a deep breath and sang, “I have your lovely lobster soup. It smells delicious to me-e-e...”
The door opened slowly and a well-dressed woman appeared. She took the soup, then closed the door, with no tips at all.
A few days later, Dan received a text inviting him to the Opera House.
At the Opera House, a woman greeted Dan. It was the lady who Dan delivered lobster soup to last week. She said, “I am Antonia Allegro, the director here. I’d like to invite you to our next opera. This is your first rehearsal(排练). You’ll practice today. At my house last week, you had one of the most beautiful voices in the world! You’re so talented! Congratulations. Welcome to the show!”

Last month, the Grade Nine students in Garden School had a debate(辩论) on the topic “Is it a good idea for parents to talk about the family finances(家庭财政) with their kids ”. Here are some opinions from Lisa, one of the students who thinks it is a good idea.
Most parents believe it is not proper to tell their kids about how much they make and how much they spend, so most families don’t talk about money with their kids. They basically feel it is not their concern. You could easily agree. But is it really none of our business Doesn’t our parents’ income(收入) affect us They use the money to pay for food, clothing and shelter. If they lost their jobs and became unemployed, wouldn’t that affect us, too
I’m not going to say parents should show their kids every bill before paying it or that they should ask their kids for advice on big financial decisions, but I will say they should keep kids involved and informed. It is part of teaching them about money and life. Kids follow their parents’ every move and learn from them.
Parents have to teach their kids about money because kids don’t learn it in school. As a parent, it’s necessary to teach them about saving, investing and staying away from credit(赊欠). Also, parents have to manage their own money well if they really want to set an example.
So I think it’s a good idea for parents to talk about the family finances with their kids. Tell them how much your salary is. It might help them decide which career to choose. Tell them how you spend your own money and talk to them before you make big purchases such as a new car. Include them in the process so that they know how it works and are satisfied with it. You can include them more and more as they get older. Don’t make money a taboo(禁忌) issue in your home.

Different Attitudes towards Hairstyles
A new research shows that women try 150 different hairstyles in their lifetime, including various cuts, colours and shapes. However, men settle(固定) on their favourite hairstyle after trying only 5 different cuts.
The study of 2,000 women has found that women visit the hairdresser five times a year on average, and about 100 like to try something different with each trip to the hairdresser. Almost half are willing to be experimental and change their hairstyle.
Women are likely to go for two new styles and at least one colour change every year between the ages of 15 and 65. The study found that 64 percent of women will change their hair simply because they are bored with their current style. Nearly 12 percent will change their hair so as to look like a celebrity(名人) while 15 percent will change their style for a wedding. 13 percent of women would change their hairstyle after having a baby. Other reasons for trying a new hairstyle were birthdays.
However, men are not as troublesome as women. They only try five different hairstyles and then stick to their favourite one in their lifetime. Men usually stick with just one style because of its being convenient (68 percent) or being liked by their partner (10 percent).
The study of 2,000 men also noticed how celebrity hairstyles(名人发型) have the influence on them and what kind of haircuts would be more fashionable in their eyes. 400 of them admit they want to grow their hair longer to copy the likes of David Beckham and actor Brad Pitt, while 240 consider dying(染色) their hair grey, to keep up with fashion trends(潮流). Actually, a hairstyle that stands for one’s personality is the first choice for men.

Wearing long robes (长袍) and tall hats, a group of foreigners went on stage and performed Peking Opera and ballads (民谣), as well as spoke Chinese.
You can see scenes like this at the 12th “Chinese bridge”—Chinese Proficiency (能力) Competition for Foreign Secondary School Students. Known as the “Olympics” of Chinese language, the competition took place in Zhengzhou, Henan on Nov 2.
More than 120 students, representing 105 countries, gave Chinese speeches and showed off their talent in areas such as kung fu, tai chi and calligraphy (书法).
Mackova Victoria, a 15-year-old girl from Slovakia, performed Wuqinxi at the competition. She imitated the movements of a tiger, deer, hear, ape and bird on stage. She gained an interest in traditional martial arts (武术) after she found that it could help her relax her muscles (肌肉) and stay fit. “The 2,000-year-old exercise is cool, but few people have heard of it,” Victoria told Xinhua. “I want more foreign people to appreciate it, as well as appreciate Chinese culture.”
Raissa, 17, from the Union of the Comoros, sang the Chinese song Wish You Safe and Well (祝你平安) during the second-round competition. “It is also my sincere wish for the people of China and the Comoros,” said Raissa. After doctors on the Chinese medical team in Africa cured her grandmother three years ago, Raissa developed a strong emotional connection with China. “My dream is to study medicine in China so that I could cure patients like the Chinese doctors who treated my grandmother,” said Raissa.
At the end of the final contest, Germole Iacopo from Italy, who has studied Chinese for four years, won as the champion (冠军). For him, the competition gave him a chance to communicate with young people all around the world. “We should learn to appreciate each other’s differences,” Germole said.
The competition is a “bridge” that shows “________.”, according to Liu Limin, board member of the Confucius Institute (孔子学院). “By studying a language, you actually start to connect with that culture,” Liu added.

I AM THE PINE
“Look,” I said to my friend Mandy, holding up the bright-red paper. “There’s a five-day art camp this summer.”
Mandy took the paper and looked at it. “Tessa, you should go. You’re the artist. I am not.”
“You can learn with me.” I said in an encouraging voice. “I really didn’t want to go alone.”
Mandy smiled, “I tried, but my little brother thought the corns I painted were rockets.”
Later, I called my other friends, but none of them could go with me. Disappointed, I decided to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree. Drawing always made me feel better. On the way, I thought about the art camp and wished I felt a little braver. Mandy could make friends with others in 10 minutes, but I was embarrassed when there were no familiar faces around me. By the time I arrived there, I had made myself believe that I was happy to give up going to the camp.
I took out my pencils and started drawing the strong trunk of the pine. Once I started, I didn’t notice the fly buzzing around me. That’s why I jumped when Mr. Weston talked behind me, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree.” “Thanks.” I smiled. Mr. Weston continued, “I’ve planted pine trees before. You have to spread out the roots near the surface so the tree can get enough water and grow tall. If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dries up and dies. Roots grow out, not down.”
Now I noticed the roots all around the tree. I’d never realized how far a tree’s roots stretched (延伸) outward. It made me think about the art camp and my own roots. I was planting myself into one deep spot because it felt safer. If I wanted to grow, I had to start reaching out too.
That night, I made my final decision. I felt nervous but excited. “I am stretching my roots out into new earth so I can grow”, I thought. “I am the pine”.

It was about 2:00 am. I was driving my taxi on the way to pick up a passenger. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark. I just saw a single light in a ground floor window, I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long silence, the door opened and a small woman in her eighties stood before me. She has a small suitcase beside her. I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help her. She took my arm and walked slowly toward the car. She kept thanking me for my kindness.
“It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you’re such a good young man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through city center ”
“It’s not the shortest way.” I answered immediately.
“Oh, I’m familiar with the city. And I’m in no hurry.” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long. It would be the last time for me to travel around the city...”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as a lift operator and the neighborhood where she had lived in. And she also told me to park in front of a furniture shop that once had been a ball room. She had gone dancing there as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building. She just sat and stared into the darkness, saying nothing. At dawn(黎明), she suddenly said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me. “How much shall I pay you ” she asked, “Nothing.” I replied.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I said.
Almost without thinking, I gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly with tears. Our hug ended with her words, “ 6 ”

Three years ago, Cash Daniels was walking on a beach when he found some plastic. He started thinking about the effect plastic pollution has on the environment, especially on rivers and oceans. That’s when he got interested in environmental issues.
Cash, now 12, found that rivers are at the heart of the problem. A report in Science Advances said that far more rivers are carrying large amounts of plastic into our oceans than was once thought. This news hit close to home for Cash. He lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The city sits on the Tennessee River. It’s one of the most polluted rivers in the world. This information led Cash to take action. He made it his mission to clear garbage from public spaces and waterways.
At first, Cash and his parents worked to pick up garbage near the Tennessee River. But soon he realized he would need more help. So he organized community cleanup outings. Eventually, he and other volunteers removed more than 11,000 pounds of garbage from the river. Cash has also partnered with businesses to recycle plastic bottles and cans. He has recycled more than 2,000 pounds of them. The money he earned from that supported river protection efforts. Cash loves sea animals. By cleaning waterways, he helps protect these creatures.
He also set up fishing-line recycling containers(容器) along the Tennessee River. People can throw away their fishing line in these instead of in the water, where it entangles(缠住) wildlife.
Cash enjoys getting other kids involved in these activities. He wrote a children’s book called One Small Piece. It’s about pollution in waterways and oceans. Cash also co-founded the Cleanup Kids. The group encourages children not to throw away anything that can be recycled. “Kids may be small percentage of the population,” Cash says, “but they are 100% of the future.”

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
Seba Stephens is only 10 years old, but he’s a very talented musician. He plays the drums, bass, guitar, and piano.
Seba grew up with music all around. Before he turned three, his parents asked him what he wanted for his birthday. “Drums!” he answered. His parents weren’t sure, but after seeing him play the drums at a local music store, they decided he was serious. They bought him a junior drum kit (成套的架子鼓). “He didn’t stop playing—ever,” says his dad.
But two months later, Seba grew upset. He couldn’t make the sounds he wanted with his junior drum kit. His parents bought him a professional drum kit and signed him up for lessons. In just a few months, his drum teacher reported that Seba was learning extremely quickly and needed a higher level of training. He was still four.
Seba started a band in kindergarten. In the first grade, he began earning money by playing music.
In 2020, Seba joined a summer music program at Berklee College of Music (伯克利音乐学院) as an 8-year-old boy. He studied bass in an online program. To keep up, he had to practice up to 36 hours a week.
After the busy summer, Seba made a decision to be home-schooled (to be educated at home instead of being sent to school) by his parents so that he could keep going to Berklee during the school year. He did schoolwork in the mornings. In the afternoons he worked on music. And at night he usually worked on music some more.
In May, 2021, Seba became the youngest person ever to receive a professional certificate from Berklee. The certificate is equal to about four college-level classes.
When he’s old enough, Seba hopes to go to college at Berklee. For now, he’s still practicing and playing.

A 70-year-old man decided to take part in 70 different sports on his 70th birthday. He did quite a good job. When asked why, he said it was simply to have some fun. He had played sport as a youngster and never stopped. Here is what the old man said to a reporter about his doing sports that year.
What was the sport you tried first
Shortly after my 70th birthday, I tried paddle-boarding. Family members were greatly entertained watching me first try to get on the board, then stand on the board and finally fall into the water before trying all over again. The lesson I learned was “Perseverance paid off”. Eventually I stood, I balanced and I paddled. It was an early success. Then I started to teach myself the basics of figure skating. They made it look so easy on the screen. But trying a simple spin （快速旋转） left me falling down on the ice, my elbow and knee hurting. I refused to give up. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. In this case, I learned the skills of the sport-enough to do a very short program-and performed it for my family and anyone else who happened to be around at the community club.
Besides the fashionable sports, were there any regular sports among your list
There were some individual sports I took turns to do during the day: running, jumping, walking. For track, I built my own high jump and hurdles.

Sure. My family’s support was essential. My wife photographed every event for me to check later. My three sons were always ready for a game, like beach volleyball. The game brought the whole family together.
Definitely you had fun. What else kept you doing such a variety of sports
There were some health advantages, too. Over the longer term came the realization that dreams are important, regardless of how unbelievable they might seem. As we age, our hopes and dreams may change, but one should never let them disappear.
74．When interviewed, the old man was going to have his 70th birthday, wasn’t he
_______________, _________________________.
75．What did the old man keep doing so many different sports for
He kept doing this for ______________ and ______________.
76．What does the underlined part “Perseverance paid off. “mean
It means ______________.
77．What question may the reporter ask in the blank
The question may be like this, “______________”.
78．List at least two things the family did for the old man when he was exercising.
______________________________________________
79．What do you think of the old man Why

Jack London was born in California, USA, in 1876. As a young man in 1897, he took part in the famous Klondike Gold Rush, when a huge number of people rushed to the Yukon in Canada to look for gold. When London returned to California in 1898, he started writing stories. His novels The Call of the Wild and White Fang are based on his experiences in the Yukon. He died in 1916.
An extract [1] from The call of the wild
Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that trouble was coming for every big dog in California. Men had found gold in the Yukon, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work in the cold and snow of the north.
Buck lived in Mr Miller’s big house in the sunny Santa Clara valley. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many dogs. There were house dogs and farm dogs, but they were not important. Buck was chief dog; he was born here, and this was his place. He was four years old and weighed sixty kilos. He went swimming with Mr Miller’s sons and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr Miller’s feet in front of the fire in winter.
But this was 1897, and Buck did not know that men and dogs were hurrying to north-west Canada to look for gold. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr Miller’s gardeners, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr Miller was out, Manuel and Buck left the garden together. It was just an evening walk, Buck thought. No one saw them go, and only one man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck’s neck.
Buck growled[2], and was surprised when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man. The man caught him and suddenly Buck was on his back with his tongue out of his mouth. For a few moments he was unable to move, and it was easy for the two men to put him into the train.
When Buck woke up, the train was still moving. The man was sitting and watching him, but Buck was too quick for him and he bit the man’s hand hard. Then the rope was pulled again and Buck had to let go.

Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题)
Galante is a wildlife biologist studying animals that are nearly dying out. A reporter Daniels spoke with him about his job. Read part of their conversation below.
Daniels: How old were you when you knew you wanted to be a biologist
Galante: For as long as I can remember, I knew I wanted to work with animals, or study animals, or just have anything to do with animals. But it wasn’t really until after graduating from college with a biology degree that I was like, “Oh, okay, I’m actually a biologist now.”
Daniels: You’re able to travel all around the world. What are some of your favourite places that you have been to over the years
Galante: I’m very lucky with all the places I’ve got to go. Africa is always closest to my heart. You see elephants and lions and all these big animals. But my favorite place I’ve ever been is Palau(帕劳群岛). I was amazed by the underwater scene there.
Daniels: What’s the best and most rewarding part of your job
Galante: The best and most rewarding part of my job is what we’re doing right now. It’s inspiring young people to care so much about wildlife. To tell you the truth, I love to travel and work with animals. But all of that can’t be compared to the most exciting and rewarding moment when I get an email from somebody like you. I’m so delighted to hear “I want to do that when I grow up.” And so that’s what makes it all worth it: inspiring the next generation of young people to protect our environment.
