阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
From Parkville to Arnwick: problems and solutions
Jo is fifteen and lives in Parkville. When Jo’s grandparents first came to Parkville, it was a quiet village.
They had a small house, close to fields and hills.
Parkville was near Arnwick, a city with a population of 10,000,000. People from Parkville moved to
Arnwick to find jobs. However, it was expensive to live in the city centre, so the government built flats outside the
centre. Soon, Parkville became part of Arnwick, and the population of Arnwick became even larger. It is very
crowded, and rubbish is also a problem.
Jo lives in one of those flats. But for her, going to school is a problem. The small local school in Parkville
closed down five years ago, and getting to the nearest school in Arnwick takes her an hour by bus. The traffic is
always bad, not to mention the air pollution.
Luckily, the government is making a great effort to solve Arnwick’s problems with better public services.
There will be more schools, so pupils won’t need to travel far. The government is reducing air pollution from
traffic. There will also be more local hospitals to meet the needs of the increasing population.
The story of Arnwick is just a story, but it describes what is happening in the real world. With populations
rising, cities should try to create a more enjoyable, comfortable and convenient living environment.

2．Why did people move from Parkville to Arnwick
3．Is it easy for Jo to go to the nearest school now
4．What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us
5．Do you think all the problems will disappear (消失) if people go back to their own village Why
【答案】1．It was a quiet village. 2．To find jobs. 3．No, it isn’t. 4．The government is making a
great effort to solve Arnwick’s problems with better public services. 5．No. Because there be new problems if
they go back to their own village.
【导语】本文主要讲述了 Arnwick 如何应对人口增长带来的问题。
1．根据“When Jo’s grandparents first came to Parkville, it was a quiet village. ”可知 Parkville 过去是一个安静
的村庄，故填 It was a quiet village.
2．根据“People from Parkville moved to Arnwick to find jobs.”可知人们搬到 Arnwick 去找工作。故填 To find
jobs.
3．根据“The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago, and getting to the nearest school in
Arnwick takes her an hour by bus.”可知她坐公共汽车要花一个小时才能到达最近的 Arnwick 学校，所以并不
容易。故填 No, it isn’t.
4．根据“Luckily, the government is making a great effort to solve Arnwick’s problems with better public services.”
可知第四段讲述了政府正在努力通过更好的公共服务来解决 Arnwick 的问题。故填 The government is
making a great effort to solve Arnwick’s problems with better public services.
5．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为 No. Because there be new problems if they go back to

Unit 2 单元话题
A travel diary is one of the best ways to remember a long trip. Many small things that don’t seem important
when you’re writing often become very easy to remember later.
Start the habit of writing your travel diary every day. When you’re busy on a trip, you might forget to write.
You may say you’ll do it later, but that almost never happens. Spend a few minutes each day writing down your
memories. It doesn’t need to be long.
Use your down time for your travel diary. There’s a lot of time when you’re just sitting during a trip. You
can write a few sentences when you’re on a train, waiting for a plane, drying your clothes, or standing in line.
At first, write down the small details people often forget. These things include the date, where you are, who
you’re with, maybe even the weather and what you eat. After many years, when you read your diary, you’ll know
exactly what you did.
Don’t forget to write about h ow you felt. Listing facts is okay, but that’s not why you took the trip. A long
trip is a time to think carefully. These feelings will be easy to forget over time. Writing about your experiences
when you still remember them clearly is important.
根据语篇内容，回答问题(每个题目答案不超过 6 个词)。
1．How do you keep a long journey in mind according to this passage
2．How many suggestions does the writer give us about writing a travel diary

阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
I finally stopped fighting my lifelong love of traveling. I left my job to do it full time. I’ve been traveling
the world on my own since 2018. In the past years, I’ve been to 25 countries (if not for COVID-19, it would have
been at least 10 more!). Now I’d like to talk about my experience in New Zealand.
Of the two islands in New Zealand, I liked the North Island better. It was my first stop. When I was in
Wellington, I stayed in Karori. It only needs a 10-minute bus ride to the center. I got a beautiful view of the city
and went to a free museum. I learned about the city’s past there. Rotorua is also a good place. It is known for its
hot springs and mudbaths (泥浴). I had never heard of an acidic (酸性的) pool, but I found that it did help with
aches and pains. Then I spent half a day learning about Maori customs and starting with a village tour. After a
walk around the shops, I enjoyed a lot of corn cooked in their thermal baths (温泉浴).
After visiting the North Island, I went to the South Island. Lake Tekapo might be the most beautiful lake I
have ever seen. Its color in the sun forced me to sit down and enjoy. The night sky was wonderful, with a small
church for perfect photos. I had to say that the mutton here was really delicious. It was a pity that I ate it only
when I was about to leave the island.
All in all, I was lucky to experience the wonders of both islands and the culture. I started my blog, Heather
Begins. You can find some advice on a journey in New Zealand there.

2．Did the writer stay near the center of New Zealand
3．What can the springs and mudbaths at Rotorua help people with
4．Why did the writer think it was a pity to have the delicious mutton
5．According to the passage, which place of interest in New Zealand will you recommend (推荐) to others
【答案】1．Since 2018. 2．Yes./Yes, he did. 3．They did help with aches and pains. 4．Because the
writer ate it only when he was about to leave the island. 5．Rotorua and Lake Tekapo.
【导语】本文主要介绍了作者的新西兰之旅。
1．根据“I’ve been traveling the world on my own since 2018.”可知，作者自 2018 年开始独自环游世界。故填
Since 2018.
2．根据“When I was in Wellington, I stayed in Karori. It only needs a 10-minute bus ride to the center.”可知，作
者在新西兰时距离中心很近，此处要进行肯定回答。故填 Yes./Yes, he did.
3．根据“It is known for its hot springs and mudbaths (泥浴). I had never heard of an acidic (酸性的) pool, but I
found that it did help with aches and pains.”可知，温泉和泥浴帮助作者缓解疼痛。故填They did help with aches
and pains.
4．根据“I had to say that the mutton here was really delicious. It was a pity I ate it only when I was about to leave
the island.”可知，作者觉得遗憾是因为他是在准备离开这个岛的时候才吃羊肉的。故填 Because the writer
ate it only when he was about to leave the island.
5．根据“Rotorua is also a good place. It is known for its hot springs and mudbaths (泥浴). ”和“Lake Tekapo might
be the most beautiful lake I have ever seen.”可知，推荐罗托鲁阿和特卡波湖。故填 Rotorua and Lake Tekapo.

Playing with friends, going to a party, having a meal in a restaurant or receiving a birthday gift—as a
teenager, you go to different places and meet different kinds of people. Everything you do leaves an impression
(印象). So, manners are very important.
Arriving 30 minutes late for a date (约会) may say “This isn’t that important to me”. Taking a cell phone
call while talking to your friend may say “The caller is more important than the person standing in front of me”.
Failing to show thanks to a gift-giver may say “I don’t like the gift”.
Is that the message you really want to send Maybe not. You do not want to be rude, but sometimes what
you do makes people think you’re impolite. How can you change that
You should know the proper ways to behave around people. We call this manners. Manners are about being
honest, respectful (表示尊敬的) and considerate (考虑周到的). Good manners show in small things. Start to
make your manners better now! You could start by adding “please” and “thank you” to your vocabulary and
avoiding bad language. You could start by holding a door open for someone after you to go through. You could
start by showing up (出现) on time instead of letting others wait for you. Start now! Start a new life and start to be
a teenager with good manners!

2．What do you think if a person is 30 minutes late for a date
3．What should you say when receiving gifts from others

根据短文内容, 回答下列问题。
Wild koalas share their home with millions of people. That has created problems for the animals. Over the
past 200 years, humans have cut down forests to build homes and businesses. Koalas live in trees, and they also
depend on them for food. As a result , the koala population has become smaller and smaller. Fewer than200,000
koalas may be left in the wild today. In 1800, there were millions of them.
What’s worse, many koalas are hit by cars or attacked (攻击) by pet dogs every year. Luckily, there is a
place for them-the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital. The hospital treats about 250 koalas each year. The hospital
even has a special koala ambulance (救 护 车 ). Without the ambulance, people might try to pick up koalas
themselves. That’s a bad idea. Koalas may look cute, but they’re still wild animals. They might attack a person.
The hospital’s most important goal is to return the animals to the wild after they are healthy. That includes
baby koalas. But baby koalas can become dependent on the humans who care for them. That makes it hard for
them to live in the wild later on. So when baby koalas are almost grown, they enter a special yard. People aren’t
allowed in. The baby koalas learn to live together without humans.
As soon as they can live on their own, young koalas are taken to a wildlife sanctuary (野生动物保护区).
“We don’t leave them near towns,” explained Cheyne Flanagan, the director of the koala hospital. “That’s because
they might go into someone’s house and want to be picked up.”
1．What do koalas depend on for their food (1 word)
2．How many koalas are saved by the koala hospital every year (No more than 2 words)
3．Why is it a bad idea for humans to pick up koalas (No more than 6 words)
4．Is it hard for baby koalas to live in the wild after staying in the koala hospital (No more than 3 words)
5．Where are young koalas taken before they return to the wild (No more than 3 words)
【答案】1．Trees. 2．About 250. 3．Because they may attack people. 4．Yes, it is. 5．A wildlife
sanctuary.
【导语】本文讲述了野生考拉因人类砍伐森林、交通和宠物狗威胁而数量减少，介绍了麦夸里港考拉医院

From Parkville to Arnwick: problems and solutions
Jo is fifteen and lives in Parkville. When Jo’s grandparents first came to Parkville, it was a quiet village.
They had a small house, close to fields and hills.
Parkville was near Arnwick, a city with a population of 10,000,000. People from Parkville moved to
Arnwick to find jobs. However, it was expensive to live in the city centre, so the government built flats outside the
centre. Soon, Parkville became part of Arnwick, and the population of Arnwick became even larger. It is very
crowded, and rubbish is also a problem.
Jo lives in one of those flats. But for her, going to school is a problem. The small local school in Parkville
closed down five years ago, and getting to the nearest school in Arnwick takes her an hour by bus. The traffic is
always bad, not to mention the air pollution.
Luckily, the government is making a great effort to solve Arnwick’s problems with better public services.
There will be more schools, so pupils won’t need to travel far. The government is reducing air pollution from
traffic. There will also be more local hospitals to meet the needs of the increasing population.
The story of Arnwick is just a story, but it describes what is happening in the real world. With populations
rising, cities should try to create a more enjoyable, comfortable and convenient living environment.
1．What was Parkville like in the past
2．Why did people move from Parkville to Arnwick
3．Is it easy for Jo to go to the nearest school now
4．What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us
5．Do you think all the problems will disappear (消失) if people go back to their own village Why

A travel diary is one of the best ways to remember a long trip. Many small things that don’t seem important
when you’re writing often become very easy to remember later.
Start the habit of writing your travel diary every day. When you’re busy on a trip, you might forget to write.
You may say you’ll do it later, but that almost never happens. Spend a few minutes each day writing down your
memories. It doesn’t need to be long.
Use your down time for your travel diary. There’s a lot of time when you’re just sitting during a trip. You
can write a few sentences when you’re on a train, waiting for a plane, drying your clothes, or standing in line.
At first, write down the small details people often forget. These things include the date, where you are, who
you’re with, maybe even the weather and what you eat. After many years, when you read your diary, you’ll know
exactly what you did.
Don’t forget to write about h ow you felt. Listing facts is okay, but that’s not why you took the trip. A long
trip is a time to think carefully. These feelings will be easy to forget over time. Writing about your experiences
when you still remember them clearly is important.
根据语篇内容，回答问题(每个题目答案不超过 6 个词)。
1．How do you keep a long journey in mind according to this passage
2．How many suggestions does the writer give us about writing a travel diary

I finally stopped fighting my lifelong love of traveling. I left my job to do it full time. I’ve been traveling
the world on my own since 2018. In the past years, I’ve been to 25 countries (if not for COVID-19, it would have
been at least 10 more!). Now I’d like to talk about my experience in New Zealand.
Of the two islands in New Zealand, I liked the North Island better. It was my first stop. When I was in
Wellington, I stayed in Karori. It only needs a 10-minute bus ride to the center. I got a beautiful view of the city
and went to a free museum. I learned about the city’s past there. Rotorua is also a good place. It is known for its
hot springs and mudbaths (泥浴). I had never heard of an acidic (酸性的) pool, but I found that it did help with
aches and pains. Then I spent half a day learning about Maori customs and starting with a village tour. After a
walk around the shops, I enjoyed a lot of corn cooked in their thermal baths (温泉浴).
After visiting the North Island, I went to the South Island. Lake Tekapo might be the most beautiful lake I
have ever seen. Its color in the sun forced me to sit down and enjoy. The night sky was wonderful, with a small
church for perfect photos. I had to say that the mutton here was really delicious. It was a pity that I ate it only
when I was about to leave the island.
All in all, I was lucky to experience the wonders of both islands and the culture. I started my blog, Heather
Begins. You can find some advice on a journey in New Zealand there.
1．When did the writer start travelling the world by himself
2．Did the writer stay near the center of New Zealand

For Wilson, the two most important things to take with him when he travels abroad are his passport and his
mobile phones. He books his plane tickets and hotel rooms through the Internet, and he enters all the information
into his mobile phone. “I don’t even need to print my tickets out any more,” says Wilson. “I can do everything
online.”
How people travel and go on holiday has changed a lot over the past years. Airlines, hotels, travel agencies
all have their own websites. People can plan and book their holidays in just a few clicks. Today everything is
easier, faster and smarter,
In fact, many people do not use guidebook any more. Instead, they go to travel websites for the maps and
information. These websites also let travellers write about and show photos of the sights, shops and restaurants
they went to. This means other people can read about their experiences and decide whether they want to visit these
places too. The Internet has made it easier for everyone to share their experiences and thoughts with each other.

They are normally young people who travel cheaply with just one rucksack (背包) and comfortable walking boots.
Some people prefer adventure tours. Brave people may try bungee jumping from the bridge overlooking the
Victoria Falls in Africa with only a rope around their legs. Some enjoy the challenge of rock climbing in the Alps
in Switzerland. Others may go skiing in the Rocky Mountains in the USA．

exciting part of your holiday
Sharon: I felt excited when I heard the sound of wild dolphins coming close to me in the water and then
swimming directly under me. I will never forget the experience.
Xavier: There were two dolphins below us swimming downwards. One stopped and looked back at me as if to
say “What are those strange beings ” Fantastic!
Interviewer: Did you feel that your holiday helped local people to keep their beautiful environment
Jane: Now the hotel and the whale and dolphin watching companies employ (雇用) local people. They used to
hunt those whales and dolphins, but now they can make money from tourism and don't have to kill them. Not
many boats are used at the same time, so these animals aren’t bothered (打扰). The boat companies also work to
educate the local schools about the importance of protecting these wonderful animals.
Helen: I am glad they are not killing the whales and dolphins any more, but the cars and boats use fuel (燃料).
This could cause pollution and make the sea less clean.

complained about this.

to a lake. As he drank from the lake, he saw a swan (天鹅) land on a rock nearby. “I should catch the swan!” he

a poor old man. But the old man was angry and said, “Do you know why I’m like this It’s because of our king!
He has done nothing for us.”
Suddenly, the king heard the swan’s voice. “It seems that you’re doing good only because you want to go
to heaven. That’s selfish. You must do good out of the goodness of your heart,” the swan said.

language I knew. By now, about ten of the little people were surrounding me. They began gently touching me, as
if to make sure that I was real. I was not at all afraid, though (不过)。
“To my surprise, they did not try to communicate with me, so I tried to communicate with them. I pointed
to the time machine and then to myself. I did not know how to communicate the idea of time travel, so I pointed to
the sun. Immediately, one of them made a noise like thunder and looked at me questioningly. ‘Did this mean,’ I
thought, ‘that he thought I was a visitor from the sun If he did, then these little people of the future were not very
clever.’ It was the kind of question a child would ask. I was very disappointed. ‘These people have nothing to
teach us,’ I thought.”

Playing with friends, going to a party, having a meal in a restaurant or receiving a birthday gift—as a
teenager, you go to different places and meet different kinds of people. Everything you do leaves an impression
(印象). So, manners are very important.
Arriving 30 minutes late for a date (约会) may say “This isn’t that important to me”. Taking a cell phone
call while talking to your friend may say “The caller is more important than the person standing in front of me”.
Failing to show thanks to a gift-giver may say “I don’t like the gift”.
Is that the message you really want to send Maybe not. You do not want to be rude, but sometimes what
you do makes people think you’re impolite. How can you change that

honest, respectful (表示尊敬的) and considerate (考虑周到的). Good manners show in small things. Start to
make your manners better now! You could start by adding “please” and “thank you” to your vocabulary and
avoiding bad language. You could start by holding a door open for someone after you to go through. You could

the trash on the bank made it dirty and smelly. So Tommy decided to pick up the trash along the river a little bit at
a time after work. “It look me about 30 minutes to fill one garbage bag with trash, but one garbage bag didn’t
seem helpful in a place as polluted as this. I decided to fill one bag of trash each day as I passed by. ” Tommy said.
Every day, Tommy took pictures of the river and shared them on his Facebook page. To his surprise, in just six
days, he had made great progress with his cleanup effort. Ile felt happy and kept doing it. Gradually, more and
more people knew about Tommy’s story. Other people in the community began following in his footsteps and
cleaning up trash on their way home too.
“The idea is to encourage people to fill one garbage bag with litter each day. It only takes 30minutes, but it
really makes a difference and you will be amazed at how good you feel afterwards,” he said.

Wild koalas share their home with millions of people. That has created problems for the animals. Over the
past 200 years, humans have cut down forests to build homes and businesses. Koalas live in trees, and they also
depend on them for food. As a result , the koala population has become smaller and smaller. Fewer than200,000
koalas may be left in the wild today. In 1800, there were millions of them.
What’s worse, many koalas are hit by cars or attacked (攻击) by pet dogs every year. Luckily, there is a
place for them-the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital. The hospital treats about 250 koalas each year. The hospital
even has a special koala ambulance (救 护 车 ). Without the ambulance, people might try to pick up koalas
themselves. That’s a bad idea. Koalas may look cute, but they’re still wild animals. They might attack a person.
The hospital’s most important goal is to return the animals to the wild after they are healthy. That includes
baby koalas. But baby koalas can become dependent on the humans who care for them. That makes it hard for
them to live in the wild later on. So when baby koalas are almost grown, they enter a special yard. People aren’t
allowed in. The baby koalas learn to live together without humans.
As soon as they can live on their own, young koalas are taken to a wildlife sanctuary (野生动物保护区).
“We don’t leave them near towns,” explained Cheyne Flanagan, the director of the koala hospital. “That’s because
they might go into someone’s house and want to be picked up.”
1．What do koalas depend on for their food (1 word)
2．How many koalas are saved by the koala hospital every year (No more than 2 words)
3．Why is it a bad idea for humans to pick up koalas (No more than 6 words)
4．Is it hard for baby koalas to live in the wild after staying in the koala hospital (No more than 3 words)

World Kindness Day is celebrated every year on November 13th. It was started in 1998 by the World
Kindness Movement, a group that wants to make the world a better place through small acts of kindness. This
special day reminds people that everyone can do something kind, no matter how small.
The main purpose of World Kindness Day is to spread love and care. In today’s busy world, people
sometimes forget to be kind to others. This day encourages us to slow down, help those in need, and create
happier communities. It teaches us that kindness can connect people from different countries and cultures.
So far, 28 countries including the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, Nigeria, and the UAE (阿联酋)
have organized activities to celebrate World Kindness Day. On this day, organizations and individuals (个体) are
encouraged to reach out to others and perform acts of kindness. For example, they might help an elderly neighbor
carry heavy things, give away clothes to the poor, or write thank-you notes to teachers. Some schools organize
activities like planting trees or cleaning parks. Even smiling at strangers or saying good morning counts as
kindness!
World Kindness Day has a big influence. Studies show that being kind makes both the giver and the
receiver feel happier. It also brings people closer and reduces loneliness. Over the years, millions of people have
proved that small actions can make a big difference. The world is full of kind people. If you can’t find one, be one!

“Through I’m nobody,” said Xu, “I have a big ‘green dream’.”
Xu was born in a village at the foot of Laoshan Mountain. It is a natural and perfect place for many kinds of
birds. He started thinking about wildlife protection at an early age. He stopped his own job in 2017 and decided to
follow his love for wildlife protection full-time.
In 2018, Xu set up the wildlife protection group in Qingdao. It’s the first of its kind in Shandong. Xu knows
that the power of one person is not enough. So he tries his best to encourage more people to join them. He sets up
wildlife education bases for children and teenagers. More and more people join them in protecting wildlife. Now,
his team of volunteers has grown to around 5,000 people. “I’m proud of our work,” said Xu.
In recent years, Xu and his team have had lots of wildlife protection activities, such as the “home for birds”.
Over 20,000 man-made homes, made of recycled materials, have been placed in forests and wetlands. They have

This is a story from a meeting held by some people and two things in nature. We call it the Four-Sided Talk.
Let’s “listen to” everyone carefully and find out what they think.
An old tree: I am thousands of years old, but I have fewer and fewer friends. I’m afraid I will be cut
someday. People cut down many trees to make paper and chopsticks. Soon there will be no trees to make air and
to protect people from floods. Mother nature is making many disasters to teach people a lesson.
The river: What the old tree said is right. I not only make the earth more beautiful, but provide the clean
water for people and animals. Now I’m sad because people put waste into me, which kills many animals and
plants that drink my water. Some people drink this kind of water and get sick, too.
People: We have lived on the earth since ancient times. The earth is our home. We have done some harm to
our home! From now on, we should make full use of the resources on the earth and protect the earth. Let’s try our
best!
The United Nations: We know a little about the environmental problems. Hearing what all of you said, we’
ve decided to protect the earth and love the earth. We’ve also made the June 5th World Environment Day.
1．What is the meeting called in the story
2．Why do people cut down a lot of trees
3．How long have people lived on the earth
4．How does nature teach people a lesson
