【典题举隅】
In the city center, firefighters quickly get ready when they hear the alarm. Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death.
Who would do a job like that Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. One month ago, he signed up for the job. He used to sit in an office of a software company, but now he is trained to break into rooms full of smoke and heat and come up with a rescue strategy.
“I wanted a job where I could be active, work with my hands, learn new practical skills, and face different challenges every day,” That’s quite an understatement (保守说法) to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while fighting against a fire. But Telfer says that flames (火焰) and nerves can be controlled in the same way: through continuous physical and mental training.
Telfer was a runner in college, but now he trains his lungs for dangerous situations instead of races. He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks. He also needs to carry unconscious people to safety. No matter what he’s doing, he has to control his breathing. Panic (恐慌) will only waste his limited air supply.
His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too. When they are not dealing with emergencies, they study many subjects like emergency medicine, structural design, and chemical reactions. They practice quickly assessing (评估) the changing conditions of a fire.
Shifting from a software expert to a first responder was a big change for Telfer. But he says, “I have never once felt that this isn’t the right job for me.” Even though danger might be waiting every day, his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the middle of a fierce fire.
55．Firefighters have to get ready within sixty seconds after hearing the alarm, don’t they
56．When did Sam Telfer become a firefighter
57．Where did Telfer work before becoming a firefighter
58．What physical training does a firefighter take Give an example.
59．How can a firefighter survive a big fire
60．Does Sam Telfer love the job as a firefighter Give your reason.

助动词开头：

“The cables are ropes and are wishes of safety for the fishermen off the coasts. These zigzags remind me of the cliff paths I hope you’ll walk with me and pick flowers along the way. And then my favourite is the diamond. It tells me to treasure all in this life. With each stitch (一针), more love is added to the sweater, and the knitter always knows for whom she is knitting.” I loved the way I connected stitches together, one at a time, just like what Grandma said.
64．Which patterns remind Grandma to value what she has, cables, zigzags, or diamonds

Passage 1
（2025·江苏无锡·一模）Since the beginning of this term, primary and junior high schools in Shenzhen have carried out a new measure (措施) to make sure that students have daily physical education (PE) classes. Shenzhen is the first city in the country to require schools to organize daily PE for students at the compulsory education (义务教育) level.

Because there aren’t enough PE teachers to teach all the new classes, the school had to ask teachers from other subject areas to lead many of the PE classes.
Liu Xunhua, a Chinese-language teacher at the school, has taken on the role of a part-time PE teacher. Liu leads students in activities such as jump rope and jumping jacks (开合跳).
“Everything is for the health of the students, and we support the new measure.” said Liu. Like other nonprofessional (非专业的) PE teachers, Liu took PE training classes and found chances to learn from professional PE teachers.
Chen Xinru, a grade 8 student from Xin’an Middle School, said that a daily PE class has many advantages and helps her a lot. “When I am tired, I can relax by running or playing basketball and I can become more focused in class,” said Chen.

Life is like water
There was a man who couldn’t achieve his ambition. So he was recommended to visit a sage (圣人).
The sage silently scooped up the water and asked, “What is the shape of the water ” The sage poured the water into a glass before the man could answer. The man answered, “I know water is like a glass.” The sage said nothing and poured the water into the vase nearby. The man realized it, “I know water is like a vase.” The sage shook his head, gently carried the vase in both hands and poured the water into a pot filled with sand. The clear water disappeared into the sand.
The sage said, “Look, the water died away like this. This is a lifetime!”
The man said happily, “I know you want to tell me that the society is like various containers. So people should be like water. When you are in a certain container, you will become its shape and nothing can change!”
“Yes and no,” the sage said. The sage went out of the house, followed by the man. Under the eaves (屋檐), the sage bent over, touched the flagstone steps for a while and stopped. The man reached out his hand to where the sage had just touched and felt a concave (凹面), but he didn’t know what secret the concave in the flagstone steps hid.
The sage said, “On rainy days, the rainwater would fall from the eaves, so the concave is the result the water falls.”
The man got inspired (启发) suddenly. He said, “I understand people may be put into the regular containers, but they should be like the little drop of water, holing the hard flagstones until changing the containers.”
The sage said, “Right. This concave will turn into a hole!”

The Xiaoxitian scenic area (景区) in Xixian County Linfen City, Shanxi Province is one of the shooting locations of the popular game “Black Myth: Wukong”. The famous scene “Seeing the future, why not worship ” in the game is set here. In this scenic area, there are many extremely beautiful painted sculptures in the Mahavira Hall. These may have inspired the game’s scene design.
Recently, a new kind of mythology (神话) has been gaining popularity among young people, especially those who love video games and animation. It’s called “Black Myth: Wukong”. Wukong in the game is not the same as the Monkey King we know from the classic Chinese novel “Journey to the West”. In this new version, Wukong has a darker, more mysterious personality. He still has powerful abilities, but he also faces many challenges. The story of Wukong takes place in a magical world full of strange creatures and exciting adventures. It combines traditional Chinese culture with modern elements. Many young people find this world fascinating and enjoy exploring it through video games, animations, and even comic books.
The Xiaoxitian scenic area is not very large. The core scenic spot, the Mahavira Hall, is only 169.6 square meters. But inside this hall, there are more than 1,900 painted sculptures of different sizes, ranging from the largest three meters tall to the smallest as small as a thumb. After nearly four hundred years, these sculptures are still intact (完好的) and look brand new.
It is known as the “Museum of Hanging Sculpture Art in China”. Its unique artistic value and connection with the popular game have made the Xiaoxitian scenic area attract a large number of tourists. During this year’s National Day holiday, the number of tourists to the Xiaoxitian scenic area has increased by 20 times compared to the same period last year.
23．Where is the Xiaoxitian scenic area

25．In the new version of the story, what kind of personality does Wukong have
26．How long have the sculptures been there

Now, Zhang Li realizes that Wheat Straw Painting is what she wants to do for the rest of her life.

Skipping to victory
Zhou Qi is a 17-year-old student from Hangzhou. Zhejiang. Last September he broke the Guinness (吉尼斯) World Record for the most single skips in one minute, with a result of 374. The record had stood unbroken for ten years. Daisuke Mimura from Japan held it with 348 skips in 2013.
Interestingly, Zhou’s new record is not even his personal best. “My best performance was 396 times in one minute. That was done in the 2nd Primary and Secondary School Students’ Rope Skipping Championship in 2020. My coach said I had already broken the world record. It was at that time that I made up my mind to apply for the Guinness World Record,” Zhou said.
However, the road to success was far from smooth. For years, Zhou practised with a special steel rope designed for competítion. It’s light and strong. But because of the rope he used, his first Guinness application was considered invalid (无效). After online communication with the records management team, Zhou quickly changed to a common rope recognized (认证) by the Guinness World Records. He soon got used to it.
Whatever kind of rope Zhou used, his strict training stood him in good sporting condition. Zhou has been in the school rope skipping team for seven years. He has jumped rope for about four hours each day. He would also run around the playground to improve his physical strength.
Now a high school student, Zhou said he’ll put his studies first. But he won’t stop training and still hopes to beat his own record one day.

In his lovely piece of writing “Why Write ”, the writer Paul Auster shares a story about growing up as an eight-year-old in New York City. He was crazy about baseball, especially the New York Giants. The only thing he remembers about attending his first major league baseball game is that he saw his hero Willie Mays after the game. The young Auster gathered his courage and went close to his hero. “Mr. Mays,” he said, “could I please have your autograph (签名) ”
“Sure, kid, sure,” Mays replied kindly. “Have you got a pencil ”
Auster didn’t have a pencil on him, neither did his father or his mother or anyone else in his group.
Mays waited patiently, but when it became clear that no one present had anything to write with, he said, “Sorry, kid. We’ve got no pencil. I can’t give you my autograph.”
From that day on, Auster made it a habit to never leave the house without a pencil in his pocket. “It’s not that I had any special plans for that pencil,” Auster writes, “but I didn’t want to be unprepared. I had been caught empty-handed once, and I wasn’t about to let it happen again. The years have taught me this: If there’s a pencil in your pocket, there’s a good chance that one day you’ll feel like starting to use it. That’s how I became a writer.”
What is your pencil What is so important that without it you feel unprepared I know some cartoonists always carry pen and paper and some photographers always have a camera in their pockets. They are always prepared.
Pick your “pencil” and don’t leave home without it.

A total of 23 spotted seals (斑海豹) were put back into the waters off the coast of Dalian in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province on Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2023 as part of China’s continuous efforts to protect endangered wildlife.
The seals were hunted and sold, but have now been saved and marked for future protection. A fishery law enforcement ship arrived at the sea area near Dalian in the morning, carrying the spotted seals. The seals were let go free one by one into the sea. They swam freely in the water, returning to their natural home.
Spotted seals are nationally protected animals in China. They are the only kind of seals that can breed (繁殖) in Chinese waters. Like migratory (迁徙的) birds, they appear around October every year in Liaodong Bay, and take the long journey back to the Northwest Pacific in May after breeding. They are often considered as the “panda of the sea”.
Thanks to China’s top-class national protection in recent years, the population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000, while the global population is between 400,000 and 600,000. Studies have shown that these 2,000 spotted seals are of great importance for the study and research on spotted seals.
To protect this rare animal and its ecological environment, the Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands were set up in 1992. In January 2002, they were included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance. Covering an area of 560,000 hectares with a coastline of about 370 kilometers, the wetlands are rich in biological resources. They have become home to nationally protected animals such as the spotted seal, finless porpoise, killer whales, false killer whales, common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and East Asian river dolphins.
Since 1992, researchers in Dalian have successfully saved 388 spotted seals and put 299 of them back into the wild.

20．What is the other name of the spotted seal
21．With China’s protection, what has happened to the spotted seals in Chinese waters

【典题举隅】
In the city center, firefighters quickly get ready when they hear the alarm. Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death.
Who would do a job like that Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. One month ago, he signed up for the job. He used to sit in an office of a software company, but now he is trained to break into rooms full of smoke and heat and come up with a rescue strategy.
“I wanted a job where I could be active, work with my hands, learn new practical skills, and face different challenges every day,” That’s quite an understatement (保守说法) to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while fighting against a fire. But Telfer says that flames (火焰) and nerves can be controlled in the same way: through continuous physical and mental training.
Telfer was a runner in college, but now he trains his lungs for dangerous situations instead of races. He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks. He also needs to carry unconscious people to safety. No matter what he’s doing, he has to control his breathing. Panic (恐慌) will only waste his limited air supply.
His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too. When they are not dealing with emergencies, they study many subjects like emergency medicine, structural design, and chemical reactions. They practice quickly assessing (评估) the changing conditions of a fire.
Shifting from a software expert to a first responder was a big change for Telfer. But he says, “I have never once felt that this isn’t the right job for me.” Even though danger might be waiting every day, his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the middle of a fierce fire.
55．Firefighters have to get ready within sixty seconds after hearing the alarm, don’t they
56．When did Sam Telfer become a firefighter
57．Where did Telfer work before becoming a firefighter
58．What physical training does a firefighter take Give an example.

60．Does Sam Telfer love the job as a firefighter Give your reason.
【答案】55．Yes, they do. 56．Telfer became a firefighter one month ago. 57．He worked in a software company. 58．Firefighters have to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear like oxygen tanks. 59．They should be physically fit and need a lot of mental preparation. 60．Yes. He does. Because in this job, he can be active, work with hands. learn new practical skills and face different challenges every day.
【导语】本文讲述了消防员Sam Telfer的故事。
55．根据“Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building.”可知，消防员在听到警报声后，需要在60秒内准备好，故此处用肯定回答。故填Yes, they do.
56．根据“Ask firefighter Sam Telfer, One month ago, he signed up for the job.”可知，他一个月之前签约成为一名消防员。故填Telfer became a firefighter one month ago.
57．根据“He used to sit in an office of a software company”可知，他曾经在一件软件公司工作。故填He worked in a software company.
58．根据“He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks.”可知，必须穿着 34 公斤重的装备例如，氧气瓶，爬上数百级台阶。故填Firefighters have to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear like oxygen tanks.
59．根据“His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too.”可知，消防员的生存不仅仅取决于身体健康。消防员也需要做好充分的心理准备。故填They should be physically fit and need a lot of mental preparation.
60．根据“But he says, ‘I have never once felt that this isn’t the right job for me.’ ”可知，他认为消防员是最适合他的工作，因此可知他喜欢这份工作，因此用肯定回答。故填Yes, he does. Because in this job, he can be active, work with hands. learn new practical skills and face different challenges every day.

Passage 1
（2025·江苏无锡·一模）Since the beginning of this term, primary and junior high schools in Shenzhen have carried out a new measure (措施) to make sure that students have daily physical education (PE) classes. Shenzhen is the first city in the country to require schools to organize daily PE for students at the compulsory education (义务教育) level.
Buxin Primary School in Luohu District started using a “3+1+1” model, which includes three regular PE classes, one music-based exercise class, and one sports game class to make sure of five PE classes per week.
Because there aren’t enough PE teachers to teach all the new classes, the school had to ask teachers from other subject areas to lead many of the PE classes.
Liu Xunhua, a Chinese-language teacher at the school, has taken on the role of a part-time PE teacher. Liu leads students in activities such as jump rope and jumping jacks (开合跳).
“Everything is for the health of the students, and we support the new measure.” said Liu. Like other nonprofessional (非专业的) PE teachers, Liu took PE training classes and found chances to learn from professional PE teachers.
Chen Xinru, a grade 8 student from Xin’an Middle School, said that a daily PE class has many advantages and helps her a lot. “When I am tired, I can relax by running or playing basketball and I can become more focused in class,” said Chen.
Luo Xing, a PE teacher from the same school, said that the daily PE class makes a big difference to students’ physical and mental health.
每题答案不超过10个单词。

2．What problem did Buxin Primary School have when they started the new PE classes
3．How do non-professional PE teachers improve their teaching skills

1．根据第二段“Buxin Primary School...to make sure of five PE classes per week.”可知，采用“3+1+1”模式的目的是保证每周五节体育课。故填To ensure five PE classes per week.
2．根据第三段“Because there aren’t enough PE teachers to teach all the new classes”可知，学校面临的问题是体育教师短缺。故填There aren’t enough PE teachers.
3．根据第五段“Liu took PE training classes and found chances to learn from professional PE teachers.”可知，非专业体育教师通过培训和向专业人士学习提升教学能力。故填Taking PE training and learning from professional PE teachers.
4．根据第六段“‘When I am tired, I can relax by running or playing basketball and I can become more focused in class,’ said Chen.”可知，陈同学认为每日体育课能带来放松和更好的专注力。故填Relaxation and better focus.

Passage 4
（2025·江苏南通·一模）
Life is like water
There was a man who couldn’t achieve his ambition. So he was recommended to visit a sage (圣人).
The sage silently scooped up the water and asked, “What is the shape of the water ” The sage poured the water into a glass before the man could answer. The man answered, “I know water is like a glass.” The sage said nothing and poured the water into the vase nearby. The man realized it, “I know water is like a vase.” The sage shook his head, gently carried the vase in both hands and poured the water into a pot filled with sand. The clear water disappeared into the sand.
The sage said, “Look, the water died away like this. This is a lifetime!”
The man said happily, “I know you want to tell me that the society is like various containers. So people should be like water. When you are in a certain container, you will become its shape and nothing can change!”
“Yes and no,” the sage said. The sage went out of the house, followed by the man. Under the eaves (屋檐), the sage bent over, touched the flagstone steps for a while and stopped. The man reached out his hand to where the sage had just touched and felt a concave (凹面), but he didn’t know what secret the concave in the flagstone steps hid.
The sage said, “On rainy days, the rainwater would fall from the eaves, so the concave is the result the water falls.”
The man got inspired (启发) suddenly. He said, “I understand people may be put into the regular containers, but they should be like the little drop of water, holing the hard flagstones until changing the containers.”
The sage said, “Right. This concave will turn into a hole!”
Life is like water, so we must adapt (适应) to the environment and we should try to change the environment to realize our own value.
38．Why was the man recommended to visit a sage
39．How did the sage inspire the man

After online communication with the records management team, Zhou quickly changed to a common rope recognized (认证) by the Guinness World Records. He soon got used to it.
Whatever kind of rope Zhou used, his strict training stood him in good sporting condition. Zhou has been in the school rope skipping team for seven years. He has jumped rope for about four hours each day. He would also run around the playground to improve his physical strength.

“Sure, kid, sure,” Mays replied kindly. “Have you got a pencil ”

A total of 23 spotted seals (斑海豹) were put back into the waters off the coast of Dalian in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province on Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2023 as part of China’s continuous efforts to protect endangered wildlife.
The seals were hunted and sold, but have now been saved and marked for future protection. A fishery law enforcement ship arrived at the sea area near Dalian in the morning, carrying the spotted seals. The seals were let go free one by one into the sea. They swam freely in the water, returning to their natural home.
Spotted seals are nationally protected animals in China. They are the only kind of seals that can breed (繁殖) in Chinese waters. Like migratory (迁徙的) birds, they appear around October every year in Liaodong Bay, and take the long journey back to the Northwest Pacific in May after breeding. They are often considered as the “panda of the sea”.
Thanks to China’s top-class national protection in recent years, the population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000, while the global population is between 400,000 and 600,000. Studies have shown that these 2,000 spotted seals are of great importance for the study and research on spotted seals.
To protect this rare animal and its ecological environment, the Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands were set up in 1992. In January 2002, they were included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance. Covering an area of 560,000 hectares with a coastline of about 370 kilometers, the wetlands are rich in biological resources. They have become home to nationally protected animals such as the spotted seal, finless porpoise, killer whales, false killer whales, common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and East Asian river dolphins.
Since 1992, researchers in Dalian have successfully saved 388 spotted seals and put 299 of them back into the wild.

20．What is the other name of the spotted seal
21．With China’s protection, what has happened to the spotted seals in Chinese waters

20．根据“They are often considered as the ‘panda of the sea’”可知它们被称为“海洋中的熊猫”。故填Panda of the sea.
21．根据“Thanks to China’s top-class national protection in recent years, the population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000”可知近年来，由于中国的国家一级保护，中国水域的斑海豹数量已达2000只左右。故填The population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000.
