一．阅读理解
Great changes have taken place in our hometown over the past ten years. In the past, most families lived in small, dark wooden houses with little fresh air. Few families owned private vehicles. Local people used to walk or ride old style bikes to work, even on cold rainy days. The river running through the town was dirty because nearby factories poured plenty of waste water into it. Rubbish could be seen along the river banks. Few public green areas were built for local citizens.
But now, everything is totally different. Tall bright apartment buildings have replaced the old houses. Public transport develops rapidly. People can take the subway, shared bikes or drive their own cars for daily trips. The government has taken strict action to deal with water pollution. Workers clean the river regularly. The river is clean again, and many beautiful parks have been built along its banks. More trees and flowers make the whole town lovely. People’s living conditions are greatly improved and their lives are becoming better and better.

When talking about inspiring people, we can’t miss Yuan Longping, widely known as the “Father of Hybrid Rice”. He was born in Beijing in 1930. As a teenager, he witnessed the pain caused by hunger. After graduating from university, he devoted himself to agricultural research without any hesitation.
At that time, large numbers of people in China suffered from terrible hunger. Plenty of villagers could not get enough food to fill their stomachs. Yuan made up his mind to develop a new kind of rice to increase rice production. He spent long hours doing field work under hot sunshine. After years of hard work and countless painful failures, he successfully developed hybrid rice in 1973. This great achievement produced much more grain. It helped feed millions of people not only in China but also around the world. It also offered useful experience for other developing countries.
Yuan Longping had a well-known dream: to enjoy the cool shade beneath rice plants taller than men. He kept doing research till his old age. Although he passed away in 2021, his spirit of persistence and self devotion encourages us to work hard and make contributions to our society.

Technology has changed our daily lives greatly during recent years. The Internet, smartphones, and AI are making our world a smaller and more connected place. With mobile devices, we can communicate with friends and relatives far away in seconds no matter where they stay. We can shop online without leaving home, take online courses, and finish different kinds of tasks on the screen. Modern technology brings plenty of convenience for common people.
However, every coin has two sides. Some students spend too much spare time playing games on their phones. This bad habit is bad for their eyesight, physical health and school studies. Moreover, the digital carbon footprint becomes a new serious environmental problem. As the passage in Unit 1 mentioned, storing and sending huge amounts of data uses a lot of electricity. The energy-consuming process produces much carbon dioxide and warms our planet.
Therefore, while we are enjoying the convenience that modern technology brings us, we should also learn to use electronic products properly. We need to form good digital habits and try our best to protect our environment in the digital age.
8．What is the advantage of technology according to the passage
A．It makes us lazy. B．It helps us communicate easily. C．It wastes electricity.
9．What problem does the “digital carbon footprint” cause
A．More paper waste. B．More electricity use. C．Less shopping.
10．What is the writer’s advice
A．Stop using the Internet.
B．Buy more smartphones.
C．Use technology properly and protect the environment.
11．What is the main purpose of this passage
A．To introduce the history of technology.
B．To tell us the disadvantages of smartphones.
C．To ask us to use technology wisely.
In a small remote village in Africa, there was a little girl named Thando. She loved reading books and hoped to get more knowledge. But her family was extremely poor. Her parents worked hard on the farm but still could hardly afford daily supplies. There were no books at all in her home. She could only listen to old story tellers in her free time.
One sunny day, a mobile library drove to her quiet village. The warm hearted librarian, an old woman, quickly noticed Thando’s strong love for books. She gave Thando a thick book and said softly, “Knowledge is like a key. It can open the door to a new world.”
From then on, Thando studied very hard day and night. She borrowed different books every time the mobile library arrived. She read under the tree’s shade after farm work. Years later, she received further education and finally became a teacher. She returned to her home village. She set up a small local library to help other poor children. She really wanted to pass on the kindness she once received and the great power of knowledge to the younger generation.
12．Where did the story happen
A．In a city in Europe. B．In a village in Africa. C．In a town in Asia.
13．What did the old librarian give Thando
A．A pen. B．A book. C．Some money.
14．What did Thando become when she grew up
A．A librarian. B．A writer. C．A teacher.
15．What can we learn from Thando
A．We should always ask for help.
B．Knowledge can change our lives and help others.
C．Mobile libraries are useless.

In the past, my hometown was a poor village. People 31 (live) a hard life. There 32 (be) no tall buildings. Most people 33 (work) on the farm. Children seldom got chances for good education. Few roads connected the village to outside towns.
But now, great changes 34 (take) place. The government 35 (build) many new roads and schools. Many young people have found jobs in the city. My father 36 (buy) a car recently. More families live in comfortable houses and enjoy modern life.
My mother says, “We should be 37 (thank) for the changes. We should also work hard 38 (make) our country stronger.”
I think Confucius was right. Education is very 39 (importance). We should study hard to become 40 (inspire) people in the future. We hope our hometown will become even more beautiful.

四．任务型阅读
Do you find it easy to understand English but hard to speak it In fact, there are two kinds of language skills: passive (被动的) and active skills. Passive skills are about understanding a language. Active skills are about using the language.
At school, you can learn many passive skills through reading and listening activities. But to learn a language well, you need to practice active skills too! However, active skills do not come naturally. You need to do a lot of practice to improve. Here are some useful ways to develop your active skills.
Write more and speak more.
You can start by writing short sentences or diaries. And try to talk to real people more. If nobody is free, you can talk to yourself by describing things that happened in your life.
Think less about the rules.
While you learn a language, you learn many rules. You may think that you need to learn these rules well so you can start to speak. But language is not a hard science. It is about showing your ideas and understanding others. When you speak the language, try to care more about the idea itself and less about the language rules.
Find a language group.
Speaking with native speakers (母语使用者) may make you feel nervous. You can join a language club or group. You can meet new people, practice speaking and learn from others.
Remember, learning a language takes time and practice. Don’t be afraid to speak out, and have fun while learning! Keep practicing, and soon you'll learn the language well!

52．How can you learn passive skills at school
53．What can you do if there is no one to talk to when improving speaking skills
