新情境·新题型：结构题——文章的整体结构是什么 请划分段落层次。
Every year, hundreds of students from around the world take part in exchange programs. These programs allow young people to experience a new culture, learn a new language, and make lifelong friends. But what do students really gain from these experiences Let’s hear from some students who have been on exchange trips.
Lisa, 15, from the UK, spent three months in Japan. “Before I went, I was really nervous,” she said. “But after a few weeks, I began to feel at home. I learned to speak Japanese and even tried cooking traditional Japanese food. The best part was making friends with local students. We still keep in touch online.”
For Tom, 16, from Australia, his exchange trip to France changed his view of the world. “I used to think that people from different countries were very different from us. But now I realize that we all share the same hopes and dreams. We want to be happy, to be loved, and to make a difference in the world.”
However, exchange trips also come with challenges. Many students experience culture shock—feelings of confusion and loneliness when they first arrive. Maria, 14, from Spain, described her experience in China: “At first, everything was unfamiliar. I couldn’t read the signs or understand what people were saying. I missed my family terribly. But I didn’t give up. I asked questions, tried new things every day, and slowly, I began to understand and appreciate the culture.”
Experts say that exchange trips are valuable because they teach students important life skills. “Students learn to be independent, to solve problems on their own, and to communicate with people from different backgrounds,” says Dr Wang, an education expert. “These skills are essential for success in the modern world.”
In short, exchange trips are more than just a holiday. They are a journey of self-discovery and cultural understanding.

话题：人与社会——古代英雄传说 ｜ 体裁：记叙文 ｜ 词数：约 270 阅读策略：主旨归纳
来源：参考古希腊神话“Achilles’ Heel”典故，结合 U6“wisdom counts”主题改编
★新情境·新题型：情节发展曲线题——选出最能反映 Achilles 心理变化的曲线。
In ancient Greece, there was a great hero named Achilles. He was the son of a goddess and a mortal king. When he was a baby, his mother wanted to make him invincible (不可战胜的). She held him by his heel (脚后跟) and dipped (浸) him into a magical river. The water made every part of his body that it touched completely safe from harm. But his heel, where she held him, remained untouched.
Achilles grew up to become the greatest warrior (战士) of his time. He was brave, strong, and nearly
unbeatable in battle. He joined the Greek army in the Trojan War and won countless victories. His fame spread far and wide. Many Trojans fled (逃跑) at the mere sight of him. Achilles took great pride in his strength and courage.
He believed no one could ever defeat him.
However, Achilles had a fatal flaw (致命弱点): his pride and anger. He once refused to fight because he felt insulted (受侮辱的) by his own commander. Without him, the Greeks suffered heavy losses. His best friend was killed in battle. Filled with grief and rage, Achilles returned to the fight and killed the Trojan hero Hector. But his rage did not end there—he mistreated Hector’s body, showing no respect for the enemy.
The Trojan prince Paris saw what happened. He knew Achilles was almost invincible, but he had heard a rumor (传言) about the hero’s weak heel. With his bow and arrow, Paris aimed carefully and shot Achilles in the heel. The wound was deadly. The great hero fell.
Achilles learned too late that no one is truly invincible. His strength was unmatched, but his pride and anger clouded his judgment. His story reminds us that even the greatest strength has a weakness.
21．Which of the following best shows the change of Achilles’ feelings in the story
A．proud → sad → angry → regretful
B．confident → angry → sad → regretful
C．invincible → proud → angry → defeated
D．proud → insulted → regretful → angry
22．Why was Achilles almost invincible
A．He wore special armour (盔甲).
B．He had been dipped into a magical river as a baby.
C．He was the strongest man in Greece.
D．He had a magical shield.
23．What was Achilles’ fatal flaw
A．He was not strong enough.
B．He was too kind to his enemies.
C．His pride and anger.
D．He was afraid of arrows.
24．How did Paris defeat Achilles
A．He fought him in single combat.
B．He poisoned his food.
C．He shot him in the heel.
D．He used a magical weapon.
25．What lesson can we learn from the story
A．Strength is the most important thing.
B．Even the greatest strength has a weakness.
C．Anger is always useful in battle.
D．Heroes never make mistakes.

来源：参考中国传统故事“曹冲称象”，结合 U6“wisdom counts”主题改编 ★新情境·新题型：开篇题——文章以什么方式开篇 这样写有什么好处
A long time ago in ancient China, the king received a huge elephant as a gift from a foreign country. The elephant was enormous—much bigger than any animal the people had ever seen. Everyone in the palace gathered around to admire it.
The king was very curious. “How much does it weigh ” he asked his officials (官员). “I want to know the exact weight of this magnificent creature (生物).”
The officials looked at each other helplessly. One suggested, “We could build a giant scale (秤)!” Another said, “We could cut the elephant into pieces and weigh them one by one.” The king shook his head. The first idea was too difficult; the second was too cruel.
Just then, the king’s young son, a boy named Cao Chong, stepped forward. He was only six years old, but he had a clever idea.
“Father,” he said, “I know how to weigh the elephant without hurting it. First, lead the elephant onto a boat. Mark the water level on the side of the boat. Then, take the elephant off the boat. Fill the boat with stones until the water reaches the same mark. Finally, weigh the stones one by one. The total weight of the stones is the weight of the elephant.”
The king was amazed. He ordered his men to follow Cao Chong’s plan. It worked perfectly! Everyone praised (称赞) the young boy for his wisdom.
Cao Chong’s clever idea shows that wisdom is not about how old or strong you are. It is about careful observation and creative thinking. Like the old saying goes, “Wisdom counts more than strength.”

In modern Chinese cultural history, there are many dedicated translators who devote their lives to spreading Chinese culture to the world. Among them, a famous translator from the 20th century made great contributions to introducing Chinese literature to Western readers.
He translated many modern Chinese literary works into English, including works by Lu Xun and Lao She. His translations were not just word-for-word copies. He worked hard to make sure that the beauty and meaning of the original Chinese texts were kept. He spent years improving his translations, carefully choosing every word.
His working conditions were difficult. Without modern tools, he had to rely on old dictionaries and his own knowledge of both languages. He often worked late into the night, checking and rewriting his translations. He believed that translation was not just about changing words from one language to another. It was about building a bridge between cultures.
His work had a far-reaching influence on the world. Many Western readers were able to understand Chinese culture and values through his translations. His spirit of hard work and persistence inspires many young translators today. He proved that with passion and dedication, one person can bring two cultures closer together.

In a middle school in Shanghai, there is a special club called “Story Bridge”. The club members are students who love telling Chinese stories in English.
Zhang Wei, a Grade 8 student, is one of the club leaders. He started the club because he realized that many of his classmates could speak English well but didn’t know how to share Chinese culture with foreign friends. “I wanted to build a bridge,” Zhang Wei explained.
Every Friday, the club meets to practice. Members take turns telling traditional Chinese stories, such as the story of Mulan or the legend of the Monkey King. They also discuss how to make the stories interesting for English-speaking listeners.
Last month, the club was invited to perform at an international school. Zhang Wei told the story of Cao Chong Weighing the Elephant in English. He used simple language and expressive gestures to make the story exciting. The foreign students were fascinated and asked many questions.
“Telling stories is not just about language,” Zhang Wei said. “It’s about understanding and sharing. When we tell a story well, we connect with people’s hearts, no matter where they come from.”
Zhang Wei’s club now has over 50 members. They plan to create a website where they can share their stories with more people around the world.
