Therefore, with its value of beauty, people take fans as a symbol of status (地位)．That’s why in old China, emperors (皇帝) and scholars (学者) often held fans．
Today, fans are also great collectors’ items and gifts．On the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, folding fans were given to leaders and officials of other countries, as well as other audience．While they were waving fans to get cool, they were also experiencing Chinese culture.

In July, 2022, China introduced the “double reduction” policy (双减政策)．It hopes to reduce students’ learning burden (负担) by reducing homework and after-school classes．One month has passed since the new term began．How do students feel about this new policy
“Our homework is clearly less than before” said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing．“We are not encouraged to buy workbooks any more．The exercises are mainly from the textbook.”
According to Shen, teachers now teach at a much slower pace (节奏)．Students have enough time to process new knowledge．“Our teachers are also giving us more chances to do experiments and learn from real life,” said Shen “For example, we went to research earthworms (蚯蚓) in a field during a biology class．This is a much better way to learn things than just hitting the books.
For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities．“We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and drama．I have joined a group called ‘leadership development in business’ where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond academic (学业的)study,” said Zhang.
Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now．But they think it’s not necessarily a good thing．“Exams force me to study harder．Each exam shows my progress as well as my weak points,” Zhang said.
Shen also pointed out that when burden is lightened, self-discipline (自律) becomes the key．“Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early．But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind others,” he said.
1．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about
A．The result of “double reduction” policy.
B．The future of “double reduction” policy.
C．The difficulty of “double reduction”policy.
D．The introduction of “double reduction” policy.
2．What is Shen Yuzhe’s idea about the new way of learning
A．He fails to enjoy it.
B．He thinks highly of it.
C．He takes it old-fashioned.
D．He has some doubt (疑惑) about it.
3What can we know about Zhang Hangming
A．He does well in playing volleyball.
B．He wants to join the drama club.
C．He is younger than Shen Yuzhe.
D．He is interested in business.
4．According to Shen Yuzhe, who may fall behind
A．Someone who is weak in self-discipline.
B．Someone who makes use of his free time.
C．Someone who finishes homework on time.

Cell Phone Madness
When I opened the box at my 12th birthday party, I couldn’t believe my eyes．I had really got a cell phone!
As soon as I got to my school the next morning, I showed off my phone and asked everyone for their number．It felt like I didn’t even exist in that class anymore．I wouldn’t pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone．Luckily I didn’t get caught using it．I was pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I got Grade D for the first time．To make matters worse, my mom had to sign the test．It was hard to show my mom the paper．She never expected “D” on my tests．Well, finally, I showed her and she couldn’t believe it．She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed(失望的).
Weeks passed and my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone．They would say, “We have noticed that you never pay attention to us．It’s like you have your own little world now and we don’t communicate as much with your phone.” I acted like they were wrong, but then I started to wonder if it was true that I was spending too much time on the phone.
A week later I tried going a whole day without a cell phone and it didn’t go that badly．I had so much fun because I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them．From that day, I had a different point of view towards cell phones.
Phones really take you away from the rest of the world．I’m not saying that phones are bad and not to use them, but you do have to spare some time to spend with your family and not get stuck with your phone all day．My phone took away time from my homework and from my family．It also affected my grades.
I will keep using my phone, but I will have it under better control.

World Water Day
In 1993 the UN decided that March 22nd is the World Water Day．On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something everyone must have around the world.
The human body is 60% of water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy．We also need water for cooking．We have toilets in our houses and when we brush our teeth or have a shower, we use the bathroom．Farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow.
We are lucky enough to have clean water whenever (无论何时) we want, but this is not the case for many people around the world．Do you know the fact that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink And do you know that 2.5 billion people do not have clean toilets That’s about 1 in 3 people in the world.
If we drink dirty water or we can’t wash our hands when we go to the toilet, it is easy to catch diseases from the bacteria (细菌) and become ill．Every year over 500,000 children die from diarrhea (腹泻) from dirty water．In some countries children walk many kilometers every day to get water and sometimes the water isn’t even clean! If children walk many hours a day to get water, they can’t go to school.
For World Water Day, some people in the UK walk, run or cycle 10 km, others climb mountains or even jump from a plane to the ground．At one school children walk 6 km with 6 liters of water so they can see how it feels to walk a long distance (距离) carrying heavy bottles of water．People give them money for doing these things and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.
根据上面短文内容填空。
1．World Water Day is on March 22nd.
It makes people know the problems of dirty water and realize the ________ of clean water．People drink much water to keep ________ in daily life.
2．We ________ meals, brush our teeth and have a shower with water.
Farmers use water to ________ plants.
3．The ________ about water is that ________ of people do not have clean water to drink．And 2.5 billion people do not have clean toilets.
4．We become ill ________ after drinking dirty water．Many children lose their lives because of diarrhea．Children have to walk to get water ________ of going to school.
5．People organize many activities to raise money to help get ________.
For example, People walk, run, cycle, climb mountains or jump from a plane.

参考答案
I、单项选择(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)
1．B
【解析】句意：蒋先生作为一个老人，参加老年人特殊奥运会，并且在比赛中获得亚军。
考查冠词的用法。根据“took part in the Special Games for...elderly, and finished...second in the race.”可知，形容词前加the，表一类人，the elderly老年人；second此处为副词，修饰动词finished，故不用冠词。故选B。
2．B
【解析】句意：——我想去参观瘦西湖。您能给我讲讲吗？——对不起，我只知道一点点。你可以在其网站上阅读介绍。
考查名词词义辨析。instruction指示；introduction介绍；conversation对话；conclusion结论。根据“Could you please tell me something about it ”和答语“Sorry, I know just a little.”可知，此处说的是想了解瘦西湖的事情，下文说不知道，说可以在网站上阅读介绍。故选B。
3．A
【解析】句意：我爷爷正在学习计算机。他说学习新事物永远不会嫌老。
考查副词短语。never too old to活到老学到老；so late to太迟做某事；old enough to足够老做某事；too old to太老而不能。根据“My grandpa is studying computers．He says it’s … learn new things.”可知，爷爷这么大年龄仍然在学习计算机，所以此处想表达学习永远不会嫌老，故选A。

5．B
【解析】句意：——你觉得留守儿童怎么样？——我认为他们需要很多东西，但最重要的是他们需要父母的爱。
考查介词短语。at all根本；above all最重要的是；after all毕竟；in all总共；根据“I think they need many things...they need love from their parents.”可知，此处说的是“最重要的是需要父母的爱”，故选B。

考查现在完成时。has gone to表示某人去了某地，指人在去某地途中，或者在某地，还没回来；has been in表示某人在某地呆多长时间，常与since和for表示的时间段连用；has been to表示某人曾经去过某地，指人已回来；has arrived in，是一个短暂性动词，不能于延续性的时间状语搭配。根据题干中“I haven’t seen your elder sister for years．Where is she now ”可见姐姐不在此地，结合题干中“...England for further study since 2017.”可知姐姐自从2017年以来就没回来，可见姐姐在英国待了很长时间，用have been in。答案为B。
7．D
【解析】句意：孩子们有必要学习一些安全技能。
考查介词和非谓语。此处是It’s adj for/of sb to do sth的结构，形容词“necessary”是修饰物的，此处介词用for；后接不定式作主语；故选D。
8．B
【解析】句意：—我们什么时候去体育中心观看篮球比赛 —直到明天完成这项工作才能去。本题是until引导的时间状语从句，且是被动语态，所以用一般现在时态的被动句。所以选B。

11．C
【解析】句意：你介意告诉我怎样记住英语单词吗？根据Would you mind…可知此句运用了固定句型Would you mind doing sth"你介意某人做某事吗？"后面应该跟动名词，故先排除A、D选项；分析句子，可知me后跟的是宾语从句作tell的宾语；结合疑问词how可知此处可以运用"疑问词+不定式"作宾语的用法，故而排除B；综合以上分析，故答案选C。
12．A

考查情景交际用语辨析。I’m afraid do恐怕是这样的；I’m afraid not恐怕不是这样的；That’s impossible那是不可能的；Of course not当然不。根据“We’re getting into the rainy season now.”可知，正值雨季，雨季的时候雨天持续时间长。I’m afraid so符合语境。故选A。

Water is precious
As we all know, water is very important in our life．A person can’t live if he doesn’t drink water for more than 7 days．However, some people didn’t realize the importance of it．They usually keep the water running after using it or throw dirty things into the rivers, lakes or seas．

In July, 2022, China introduced the “double reduction” policy (双减政策)．It hopes to reduce students’ learning burden (负担) by reducing homework and after-school classes．One month has passed since the new term began．How do students feel about this new policy
“Our homework is clearly less than before” said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing．“We are not encouraged to buy workbooks any more．The exercises are mainly from the textbook.”
According to Shen, teachers now teach at a much slower pace (节奏)．Students have enough time to process new knowledge．“Our teachers are also giving us more chances to do experiments and learn from real life,” said Shen “For example, we went to research earthworms (蚯蚓) in a field during a biology class．This is a much better way to learn things than just hitting the books.
For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities．“We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and drama．I have joined a group called ‘leadership development in business’ where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond academic (学业的)study,” said Zhang.
Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now．But they think it’s not necessarily a good thing．“Exams force me to study harder．Each exam shows my progress as well as my weak points,” Zhang said.
Shen also pointed out that when burden is lightened, self-discipline (自律) becomes the key．“Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early．But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind others,” he said.
1．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about
A．The result of “double reduction” policy.

As soon as I got to my school the next morning, I showed off my phone and asked everyone for their number．It felt like I didn’t even exist in that class anymore．I wouldn’t pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone．Luckily I didn’t get caught using it．I was pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I got Grade D for the first time．To make matters worse, my mom had to sign the test．It was hard to show my mom the paper．She never expected “D” on my tests．Well, finally, I showed her and she couldn’t believe it．She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed(失望的).
Weeks passed and my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone．They would say, “We have noticed that you never pay attention to us．It’s like you have your own little world now and we don’t communicate as much with your phone.” I acted like they were wrong, but then I started to wonder if it was true that I was spending too much time on the phone.
A week later I tried going a whole day without a cell phone and it didn’t go that badly．I had so much fun because I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them．From that day, I had a different point of view towards cell phones.
Phones really take you away from the rest of the world．I’m not saying that phones are bad and not to use them, but you do have to spare some time to spend with your family and not get stuck with your phone all day．My phone took away time from my homework and from my family．It also affected my grades.
I will keep using my phone, but I will have it under better control.

World Water Day
In 1993 the UN decided that March 22nd is the World Water Day．On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something everyone must have around the world.
The human body is 60% of water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy．We also need water for cooking．We have toilets in our houses and when we brush our teeth or have a shower, we use the bathroom．Farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow.
We are lucky enough to have clean water whenever (无论何时) we want, but this is not the case for many people around the world．Do you know the fact that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink And do you know that 2.5 billion people do not have clean toilets That’s about 1 in 3 people in the world.
If we drink dirty water or we can’t wash our hands when we go to the toilet, it is easy to catch diseases from the bacteria (细菌) and become ill．Every year over 500,000 children die from diarrhea (腹泻) from dirty water．In some countries children walk many kilometers every day to get water and sometimes the water isn’t even clean! If children walk many hours a day to get water, they can’t go to school.
For World Water Day, some people in the UK walk, run or cycle 10 km, others climb mountains or even jump from a plane to the ground．At one school children walk 6 km with 6 liters of water so they can see how it feels to walk a long distance (距离) carrying heavy bottles of water．People give them money for doing these things and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.
根据上面短文内容填空。
1．World Water Day is on March 22nd.
It makes people know the problems of dirty water and realize the ________ of clean water．People drink much water to keep ________ in daily life.
2．We ________ meals, brush our teeth and have a shower with water.

1．B
【解析】句意：蒋先生作为一个老人，参加老年人特殊奥运会，并且在比赛中获得亚军。
考查冠词的用法。根据“took part in the Special Games for...elderly, and finished...second in the race.”可知，形容词前加the，表一类人，the elderly老年人；second此处为副词，修饰动词finished，故不用冠词。故选B。

考查名词词义辨析。instruction指示；introduction介绍；conversation对话；conclusion结论。根据“Could you please tell me something about it ”和答语“Sorry, I know just a little.”可知，此处说的是想了解瘦西湖的事情，下文说不知道，说可以在网站上阅读介绍。故选B。
3．A
【解析】句意：我爷爷正在学习计算机。他说学习新事物永远不会嫌老。
考查副词短语。never too old to活到老学到老；so late to太迟做某事；old enough to足够老做某事；too old to太老而不能。根据“My grandpa is studying computers．He says it’s … learn new things.”可知，爷爷这么大年龄仍然在学习计算机，所以此处想表达学习永远不会嫌老，故选A。

2．wisely
【解析】句意：要成为一名好学生，你应该好好计划时间，明智地利用每一分钟。所给词“wise”为形容词“明智的”，由“use every minute”可知这里需要副词修饰动词“use”，“wise”的副词为“wisely”。故填wisely。
3．to shake

Water is precious
As we all know, water is very important in our life．A person can’t live if he doesn’t drink water for more than 7 days．However, some people didn’t realize the importance of it．They usually keep the water running after using it or throw dirty things into the rivers, lakes or seas．
In fact, we must do something to stop it from getting worse if we live on the Earth．Firstly, turn off the tap after using it．Secondly, keep the water clean by not throwing anything dirty．Thirdly, reusing the water is also needed．To sum up, water is important to all of us．Let’s try our best to save it.
