1．（2024秋 临翔区校级期末）It was my first day of sixth grade.I looked at my schedule and saw that I had Mrs.Foxwell's classes and this made me happy.Over the next three years，Mrs.Foxwell taught me many important things that I will never forget.Of all of the teachers and coaches I have had in my life，Mrs.Foxwell has been my favorite leader.
Mrs.Foxwell is one of the most respected people I know.She is always kind to everyone and she treats others the way that she wants to be treated.She taught me respect in many different ways，but mainly how to be respectful in the business world.She told me that I needed to have a firm handshake and that I should always look people in the eye when I talked to them.Mrs.Foxwell also taught me that I could earn someone's respect by working hard to achieve my goals.
In addition to working at Brandywine Springs School，Mrs.Foxwell once worked at a bank as a manager but she gave that up to teach kids how to be successful.Mrs.Foxwell told our class that she would cry because of the amount of work she had to do in very little time.She told our class that working all night at something we don't love is very stressful，so we should try and do something we love.In the end，she taught me that I have to keep my head high and pull through difficulties.I don't think I have ever worked as hard in any class as I did in her class.I created my own 28﹣page business plan to share with her，my parents，other teachers and my classmates.Although creating a business from nothing was a lot of hard work，I really enjoyed it and learned several lessons that will help me throughout life.

4．（2018秋 城固县校级期末）It's 11 p．m．，and I m still sitting here writing this article for the school magazine!I've had two weeks to write it，and my teacher，Julia，wants it tomorrow．She's always complaining （抱怨） that I leave things till the last minute．Maybe she's right．
A month ago I made a decision to be more efficient（有效率的） this year．well，I've clearly failed．I've also been trying to get fitter for four weeks now．I've started going to the health club．I've even been going to bed earlier．But I'm not feeling any fitter，just a little unhappier．I miss my bad habits．Why is leading a better life so hard？
I've just read an article on a website，and I've discovered that it isn't my fault（过错）!In fact，it isn't anyone's fault．It's our brain's．It's programmed to make it difficult to break bad habits．There's nothing we can do．Scientists have done experiments that show we use one part of our brain when we think about ourselves and another when we think about other people．However，when we think about ourselves in the future，we use the same part of the brain that we usually use to think about other people．In other words，the brain sees the "future you" as a different person than your "present you．" That's why we don't always find it easy to make good decisions for ourselves in the future．
But that's not all．Scientists have also discovered that it takes around ten weeks to form a good habit．That's the amount（数量） of time the brain needs to accept new behavioral patterns（形式）．The good news is that once you make it to ten weeks，everything becomes a lot easier．The bad news is that ten weeks is a really long time，so it' s easy to give up what you want to do before then．
So even when we want to change our ways and become better people，our brains won't let us．Or is this just an excuse？Look﹣I've finished my article on time!Anything is possible!
（1）In Julia's eyes，what kind of person is the author？

B．Quite smart．
C．Very healthy．
D．Truly honest．
（2）What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us？　 　
A．Why we can't have a better life．
B．How our brain sees ourselves in the future．
C．How our brain helps us make good decisions．
D．Why it is not easy for us to change our habits．
（3）According to scientists，in order to form the habit of taking exercise，the author needs to take about　 　 ．
A．another two weeks
B．another four weeks
C．another six weeks
D．another ten week

10．（2021秋 吕梁期末）It was June 8，1816 and it was early summer in Vermont，US.Yet，a wild winter snow﹣storm was going on.Nearly a foot of snow covered the fields which had been planted crops only weeks before.This storm would kill all of the crops.At the time，people struggled to understand what had caused the weather to change so wildly.It is only now，more than 200 years later，that scientists have finally solved the mystery.The cause of the extreme weather was an event that took place a year earlier and 10，000 miles away.It all started with a volcano called Mount Tambora.

The eruption went on for more than three days，which instantly killed at least 12，000 people living on and around Mount Tambora.Ash and lava ruined the island's soil and poisoned its rivers and streams.Rice fields were destroyed.No fruits or vegetables would grow.

12．（2020秋 龙岩期末）The real problem of wildfires is the strength of the blazes（火焰）.In 2015，for the first time，fires burned more than 10 million acres nationwide.It happened again in 2017.In California，eight of the state's 20 worst wildfires have happened in the past 10 years.The 2018 Camp Fire，which killed 85 lives in Northern California，was the deadliest in the century.
The world's worst wildfire in terms of lives lost was the 1871 Peshtigo Fire in Wisconsin，in which at least 1，200 people died.Never heard of it？Perhaps that's because people's attention was drawn by another terrible blaze that happened the same night：the Great Chicago Fire.
Humans still cause more than 4 out of 5 wildfires through carelessly dropped cigarettes，poorly put﹣out campfires.Another major sparker of wildfires is lightning.According to the Natural History Museum of Utah，lightning strikes the earth more than100，000 times a day.Anywhere from 10 to 20 percent of these strikes causes fires.

15．（2017秋 邕宁区校级期末）It was a village in India．The people were poor．However，they were not unhappy．After all，their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries．
Then one day，some visitors from the city arrived．They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs．However，they did not have enough frogs of their own，and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places．
This seemed like money for nothing．There were millions of frogs in the fields around，and they were no use to the villagers．All they had to do was catch them．Agreement was reached，and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs．Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money．For the first time，the people were able to dream of a better future．But the dream didn't last long．
The change was hardly noticed at first，but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well．More worrying was that the children fell ill more often，and，there seemed to be more insects around lately．
The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children have to use the money earned to buy pesticides（杀虫剂） and medicines．Soon there was no money left．
Then the people realized what was happening．It was the frog．They hadn't been useless．They had been doing an important job﹣eating insects．Now with so many frogs killed，the insects were increasing more rapidly．They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases．
Now，the people are still poor．But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs．These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning．

4．（2018秋 城固县校级期末）It's 11 p．m．，and I m still sitting here writing this article for the school magazine!I've had two weeks to write it，and my teacher，Julia，wants it tomorrow．She's always complaining （抱怨） that I leave things till the last minute．Maybe she's right．
A month ago I made a decision to be more efficient（有效率的） this year．well，I've clearly failed．I've also been trying to get fitter for four weeks now．I've started going to the health club．I've even been going to bed earlier．But I'm not feeling any fitter，just a little unhappier．I miss my bad habits．Why is leading a better life so hard？
I've just read an article on a website，and I've discovered that it isn't my fault（过错）!In fact，it isn't anyone's fault．It's our brain's．It's programmed to make it difficult to break bad habits．There's nothing we can do．Scientists have done experiments that show we use one part of our brain when we think about ourselves and another when we think about other people．However，when we think about ourselves in the future，we use the same part of the brain that we usually use to think about other people．In other words，the brain sees the "future you" as a different person than your "present you．" That's why we don't always find it easy to make good decisions for ourselves in the future．
But that's not all．Scientists have also discovered that it takes around ten weeks to form a good habit．That's the amount（数量） of time the brain needs to accept new behavioral patterns（形式）．The good news is that once you make it to ten weeks，everything becomes a lot easier．The bad news is that ten weeks is a really long time，so it' s easy to give up what you want to do before then．
So even when we want to change our ways and become better people，our brains won't let us．Or is this just an excuse？Look﹣I've finished my article on time!Anything is possible!
（1）In Julia's eyes，what kind of person is the author？　A　
A．A bit lazy．
B．Quite smart．
C．Very healthy．
D．Truly honest．

A．Why we can't have a better life．
B．How our brain sees ourselves in the future．
C．How our brain helps us make good decisions．
D．Why it is not easy for us to change our habits．
（3）According to scientists，in order to form the habit of taking exercise，the author needs to take about　D　 ．
A．another two weeks
B．another four weeks
C．another six weeks
D．another ten week

"Safety is the first in such a situation，" Liu said，remembering what his teacher had told him in his aid class."It's not safe to run after an adult who is much stronger than you."
Liu is a student at Shenzhen Bao'an Middle School in Guangdong.His school is one of the first in China to have required first aid education.Grade 1 students must take the class once a week.
Teenage safety has become a serious problem recently.According to a recent survey，about 16，000 teenagers die in accidents in China every year.An average of 40 students die every day from drowning，food poisoning（中毒） and traffic accidents.
Bao'an School said that the first aid classes are to teach students skills so that they can keep themselves safe and save themselves from danger.
Students at Bao'an often learn by role﹣playing in first aid classes.
Zhou Min，12，remembered her favourite lesson."I performed as a stranger knocking at a door.A classmate stood inside the door and asked several questions before letting me in.Then we changed roles and did it again，" Zhou said."We learned a lot while having fun at role﹣playing."
The topics of the class are regularly changed.The students have learned skills for life﹣saving in the earthquakes.They also deal with topics like sexual harassment（骚扰）.
"The teacher told us girls that we should try not to go out alone，especially at night.If someone tries to do bad things to us，we may hit their eyes or noses or kick their deadly parts.Then we should quickly run into a crowded place，" said Zhong Hua，a 13﹣year﹣old girl.
（1）Why didn't Liu Xu run after the robber when his bike was taken away from him？ 　D　
A．Because the robber rode away too fast.
B．Because he was too scared to run in such a situation.

【答案】DDAD
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了学校教授学生相关安全及防护的技能。
【解答】（1）D.细节理解题。根据原文第二段"Safety is the first in such a situation，" Liu said，remembering what his teacher had told him in his aid class."在这种情况下，安全是第一位的，"刘回忆起老师在辅导课上对他说的话。可知，他没有追抢匪是因为他记得第一节急救课上学的东西。故选D。
（2）D.细节理解题。根据原文第五段Bao'an School said that the first aid classes are to teach students skills so that they can keep themselves safe and save themselves from danger.宝安学校表示，急救课是为了教授学生技能，让他们能够保护自己，远离危险。可知，急救课的目的是教青少年让他们自己远离危险。故选D。
（3）A.细节理解题。根据原文第二段Zhou said， "We learned a lot while having fun at role﹣playing."周说，"我们从角色扮演中学到了很多东西。"可知，Zhou Min 给了一个例子说明他们在急救课上是怎样学习的。故选A。
（4）D.判断正误题。根据原文倒数第二段The topics of the class are regularly changed.The students have learned skills for life﹣saving in the earthquakes.课堂的话题经常变换。学生们学习了在地震中拯救生命的技能。可知，急救课的主题是有规律的改变的，但并非急救课的主题和学生们已经学习的东西非常不同。因此D选项表述错误。故选D。
【点评】做这类阅读理解，要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。
8．（2025春 白城校级期末）What should you do if there's an earthquake at school？How can you protect yourself when you are caught in a stampede（踩踏）？March 25 this year provides you with a good chance to learn about safety．
This day is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students（NDESEMSS） （全国中小学生安全教育日）．The theme of the day this year is to give students more knowledge about safety and make sure their lives safe．

What can we do to keep ourselves safe？Staying calm is the first and most important rule when facing accidents．But different accidents have different self﹣protection advice．
A stampede is possible anywhere．The larger a human crowd gets，the more likely stampedes become．When students around you begin to push，stand still and try to hold onto something，or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves．If you fall down in a moving crowd，cover your head with both hands．Lean to one side，curl up your body and bend your legs．
Earthquakes are common natural disasters．When you feel the ground shake，drop down，take cover under a desk and hold on．You should stay indoors until the shaking stops．If you are out﹣doors，don't stay near buildings，trees or power lines．

【分析】该题短文讲述了当地震等灾难来临时，我们应该怎样自救；如果在学校发生了地震，你应该怎样做，如果发生踩踏事故，你该怎么保护自己？今年3月25日全国中小学生安全教育日的主题是教给学生更多关于安全的知识，确保他们的生命安全．由中国青年和儿童研究中心做的一项调查显示，相比其他事故，学校事故能使更多的小学和中学的学生失去生命．不同事故中有不同的保护方式，但最重要的保护方式是保持镇静．园踩踏事故是在任何一个地方都可能发生的，如果你在移动的人群中摔倒了，用你的双手抱住头．倾斜一边，蜷曲身体并且弯曲你的腿．地震也是经常发生的一种灾难，当你感觉地震来袭时，躲到桌子下别乱动；你应该呆在室内，直到震动停止．当发生火灾时，按照教师的指令，用一块布盖住你的嘴和鼻子，迅速离开教室，以防你吸进烟．
