You will also become aware of how your opinions, decisions, and actions influence others. You might be happy one moment and sad the next. Talk about your feelings with others. This will help you manage your feelings in a healthy way.
Social Changes
You become more independent. Your parents may give you more responsibility. For example, you may be asked to help prepare meals.
During this time, your friends are going through changes like you and can understand how you feel. As a result, their opinions and actions may influence you. Choose friends that support you and influence you in a positive way. This will help you make good choices during your teen years.
For all of these changes above, you should accept them that come with this period of growth and development. And then prepare for successful adulthood.

词义猜测题。根据第二段“Other changes that occur include the growth of body hair. The shape of your body changes, and you grow taller. ”可知，其他变化包括体毛的生长。你身体的形状改变了，你长高了。故推测出划线单词“occur”在文章中可能是“发生”的意思。故选B。

Lonely! That is the best word to describe the lives of Liu Jun and his wife, Wang Juan. They have spent more than 20 years doing different jobs at isolated checkpoints and watchtowers (偏僻的检查站和瞭望塔) in a large fores farm.
In 1998, after working at the Saihanba forest farm in North China’s Hebei for 6 years, Liu made a decision to go to Jiaodaokou, the farthest checkpoint on the farm. With only a three-room bungalow (平房), the checkpoint was so far that there was no other people living within 5 kilometers. There was no TV set or radio at the checkpoint. To avoid being bored, Liu Jun and his wife sometimes read the newspapers or looked at their daughter’s photos. Day after day, they checked all cars and people who passed by to make sure that matches, lighters and other things that could be used to start fires were not taken into the forest.
Fourteen years ago, the couple changed their job. They worked in a watchtower at an altitude (海拔) of 1,900 meters. At this post, they have to look out from the tower every 15 minutes between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. to check for fires. The rest of the time, they have to look out once an hour. Even when the coast is clear, they have to record their observations (观察结果) every time and report to the forest farm.
In 2022, Liu was chosen as one of China’s 100 model environmental protection volunteers. “It’s a great honor for us to see the trees grow up in the forest we protect.” he said.

In the Ming Dynasty, in order to protect the country and people, the emperor decided to rebuild the Great Wall. This is because the Great Wall is not just a wall. The walls were connected by a system (系统) of watchtowers. These were not only used to stop the enemy, but also to communicate with the capital by signals (信号). However, building a wall with huge stones seemed to be impossible at that time.
At that time, the building of Jiayuguan required millions of stones of the same size. People found that neither men nor horses could carry the stones because they were too heavy.
Winter was coming. The workers were worried about whether they can finish the work on time. They gathered every day to discuss the way to carry them. One day, a worker accidentally poured water onto the road, he found the water quickly became ice. He stepped on the ice and almost fell down. Thanks to this “mistake”, he came up with a perfect way—to build an “ice” road. In the end, this way was quickly put into practice. On the ice road, every stone was transported (运输) to the mountain easily. They finally solved the problem with their wisdom and diligence (勤奋).
The building of the Great Wall was not without its challenges, but the workers’ strong will and creativity got over all of them. Today, the Great Wall is not used to protect the country any more, but it is always the symbol of our nation’s spirit. It is the Great Wall that gives us the power to create and the courage to move on and get over all difficulties. We’ll be fearless, and we’ll work together to create the new “Great Wall” of our time.
28. Why was it difficult to build the Great Wall in ancient times
A. Because there was much ice on the wall.
B. Because there were less people do this work.
C. Because it was hard for people to move heavy stones.
D. Because the weather at that time was very terrible.
29. The underlined word “gathered” probably means “________” in the passage.
A. get together B. keep together C. live together D. act together
30. Which of the following can best describe the workers who built the Grate Wall
A. Strict and wise. B. Shy and patient.
C. Honest and friendly. D. Hard-working and smart.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了在明朝时重建万里长城的故事。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据“At that time, the building of Jiayuguan required millions of stones of the same size. People found that neither men nor horses could carry the stones because they were too heavy.”可知，在古代修筑长城是困难的，因为人们很难移动沉重的石头。故选C。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“They gathered every day to discuss the way to carry them.”可知，工人们聚在一起讨论如何搬运石头。故“gathered”表示“get together”。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文以及根据“They finally solved the problem with their wisdom and diligence”以及“but the workers’ strong will and creativity got over all of them.”可推知，工人们是勤奋的、聪明的。故选D。

Look at any group of teens, and you’ll probably see big differences among them. These differences are caused by adolescence (青春期) . Let’s learn about some changes about it.
Physical Changes
Over the past summer, Phil noticed his voice beginning to change. Acne (青春痘) is appearing on Marie’s face. Changes such as these mean the arrival of adolescence. Other changes that occur include the growth of body hair. The shape of your body changes, and you grow taller. Although these situations can be troubling, remember that they are only temporary (暂时的).

You will also become aware of how your opinions, decisions, and actions influence others. You might be happy one moment and sad the next. Talk about your feelings with others. This will help you manage your feelings in a healthy way.
Social Changes
You become more independent. Your parents may give you more responsibility. For example, you may be asked to help prepare meals.
During this time, your friends are going through changes like you and can understand how you feel. As a result, their opinions and actions may influence you. Choose friends that support you and influence you in a positive way. This will help you make good choices during your teen years.

Lonely! That is the best word to describe the lives of Liu Jun and his wife, Wang Juan. They have spent more than 20 years doing different jobs at isolated checkpoints and watchtowers (偏僻的检查站和瞭望塔) in a large fores farm.
In 1998, after working at the Saihanba forest farm in North China’s Hebei for 6 years, Liu made a decision to go to Jiaodaokou, the farthest checkpoint on the farm. With only a three-room bungalow (平房), the checkpoint was so far that there was no other people living within 5 kilometers. There was no TV set or radio at the checkpoint. To avoid being bored, Liu Jun and his wife sometimes read the newspapers or looked at their daughter’s photos. Day after day, they checked all cars and people who passed by to make sure that matches, lighters and other things that could be used to start fires were not taken into the forest.
Fourteen years ago, the couple changed their job. They worked in a watchtower at an altitude (海拔) of 1,900 meters. At this post, they have to look out from the tower every 15 minutes between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. to check for fires. The rest of the time, they have to look out once an hour. Even when the coast is clear, they have to record their observations (观察结果) every time and report to the forest farm.
In 2022, Liu was chosen as one of China’s 100 model environmental protection volunteers. “It’s a great honor for us to see the trees grow up in the forest we protect.” he said.
24. Which of the following about Jiaodaokou is TRUE
A. It.only has two three-room houses.
B. There is a small TV set and a radio.
C. It is so far that no animal appears there.
D. It is the farthest checkpoint on the farm.
25. Why do Liu Jun and Wang Juan look out from the tower every 15 minutes
A. To check for fires. B. To find out enemies.
C. To watch the weather. D. To record the number of birds.
26. What can we infer from the passage about Liu Jun and Wang Juan
A. Their job must be well paid. B. Although they are lonely, they feel proud.
C. Their daughter lives with them. D. They work in a low altitude.
27. The passage is written in the order of ________.
A. space B. persons C. time D. opinions
C
In the Ming Dynasty, in order to protect the country and people, the emperor decided to rebuild the Great Wall. This is because the Great Wall is not just a wall. The walls were connected by a system (系统) of watchtowers. These were not only used to stop the enemy, but also to communicate with the capital by signals (信号). However, building a wall with huge stones seemed to be impossible at that time.
At that time, the building of Jiayuguan required millions of stones of the same size. People found that neither men nor horses could carry the stones because they were too heavy.
Winter was coming. The workers were worried about whether they can finish the work on time. They gathered every day to discuss the way to carry them. One day, a worker accidentally poured water onto the road, he found the water quickly became ice. He stepped on the ice and almost fell down. Thanks to this “mistake”, he came up with a perfect way—to build an “ice” road. In the end, this way was quickly put into practice. On the ice road, every stone was transported (运输) to the mountain easily. They finally solved the problem with their wisdom and diligence (勤奋).
The building of the Great Wall was not without its challenges, but the workers’ strong will and creativity got over all of them. Today, the Great Wall is not used to protect the country any more, but it is always the symbol of our nation’s spirit. It is the Great Wall that gives us the power to create and the courage to move on and get over all difficulties. We’ll be fearless, and we’ll work together to create the new “Great Wall” of our time.
28. Why was it difficult to build the Great Wall in ancient times
A. Because there was much ice on the wall.
B. Because there were less people do this work.
C. Because it was hard for people to move heavy stones.
D. Because the weather at that time was very terrible.
29. The underlined word “gathered” probably means “________” in the passage.
A. get together B. keep together C. live together D. act together
30. Which of the following can best describe the workers who built the Grate Wall
A. Strict and wise. B. Shy and patient.
C. Honest and friendly. D. Hard-working and smart.
