How to Plan Your Study Process Reasonably
As middle school students, we often feel stressed because of too much schoolwork. However, if we plan our
study process reasonably, we can make the most of our time and improve our grades. Here are some useful tips.
First of all, make a detailed study plan. Write down all the tasks you need to finish, including homework,
reviews, and previews. For example, before each English class, spend ten minutes previewing the new words and
sentences. After class, review what you’ve learned and summarize the key points. Making a plan helps you know
clearly what to do next.
Secondly, manage your time effectively. Divide your free time into different parts. If you have two hours of
free time after school, you can use one hour to finish your math and Chinese homework, and the other hour to
review science. Remember not to forget breaks. Taking a short rest every hour can help you stay energetic.
What’s more, don’t be afraid to ask for help when you face difficulties. If you don’t understand a math
problem, ask your teacher or classmates for advice. They may offer you different ways to solve it. Also, joining a
study group can be very helpful. You can share ideas and learn from each other.
Finally, review your plan regularly. Check if you’ve achieved your goals. If not, find out the reasons and make
some changes. Maybe you need to adjust your study methods or allocate more time to difficult subjects.
In conclusion, planning our study process reasonably is very important. It can not only reduce our stress but
also make our learning more efficient.参考译文：
如何合理规划自己的学习进程
作为中学生，由于课业负担过重，我们经常感到压力很大。然而，如果我们合理规划学习进程，就能
充分利用时间，提高成绩。以下是一些实用的建议。
首先，制定详细的学习计划。写下你需要完成的所有任务，包括作业、复习和预习。例如，在每节英
语课之前，花十分钟预习新单词和句子。课后，复习所学内容并总结要点。制定计划能帮助你清楚地知道
接下来要做什么。
其次，有效地管理时间。把你的课余时间分成不同的部分。如果你放学后有两个小时的空闲时间，你
可以用一个小时完成数学和语文作业，另一个小时复习科学。记住不要忘记休息。每小时短暂休息一下可
以帮助你保持精力充沛。
此外，当你遇到困难时，不要害怕寻求帮助。如果你不理解一道数学题，向老师或同学寻求建议。他
们可能会给你提供不同的解题方法。此外，加入学习小组会很有帮助。你们可以分享想法，互相学习。
最后，定期回顾你的计划。检查你是否实现了目标。如果没有，找出原因并做出一些改变。也许你需
要调整学习方法，或者给较难的科目分配更多时间。
总之，合理规划学习进程非常重要。它不仅能减轻我们的压力，还能让我们的学习更有效率。
综合演练

Starting from last fall semester(秋季学期), students in primary and middle schools will have at least one
labor(劳动) course every week to learn basic housework skills such as cleaning, cooking, etc.
The Ministry of Education(教育部) had a new curriculum standard (课程标准) for labor education in
compulsory education ( 义 务 教 育 ) in May, 2022, including three kinds of tasks: everyday housework,
productive(生产) labor, and service.
Primary school students in first and second grades need to do basic cleaning, including washing vegetables,
peeling(剥) fruit, and raising one or two kinds of plants or small animals.
Third and fourth graders should clean their classrooms, wash their underwear(内衣), socks and shoes, know
how to make cold dishes and use home appliances like TV set, fridge, electric fan, etc. Fifth and sixth graders
should learn the skills of cooking two or three common dishes. For middle school students, they are encouraged to
cook three or four dishes by themselves, learn how to make one or two kinds of traditional handicrafts (传统手工
艺), and experience one or two kinds of industrial (工业的) labor, new technologies, modern service or volunteer
work.
Schools should use different ways to help parents know the importance of labor education and help parents
make housework lists to improve students’ abilities. Only if schools and families work altogether to educate
students, will students be able to enter the society and have a bright future with hard-working hands.

Finding the Right Balance (平衡) in After-School Activities
After-school activities are important for children’s growth. These activities help children find new interests
and build skills. However, too many activities can make children feel bad.
Rachel Cortese, a speech-language pathologist (病理学家), thinks that after-school activities can help
children make friends and use up their energy (能量). When children do well in these activities, they often feel
better about themselves. Taking part in the activities can also keep children away from dangerous behaviors (行为).
On the other hand, doing too many after-school activities can hurt (伤害) children’s confidence. Susan
Newman, a social psychologist (心理学家), thinks that if children try to do everything, they might not be good at
anything. That can hurt their confidence.
To avoid too many activities, children must understand their real needs and have time for free play. That can
help them balance their activities.
It’s great for children to try different activities, but it is important for them to find a balance. So as students,
make sure you have as much time to relax and have fun as you do for after-school activities.
1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．Ways to help children find new after-school activities.
B．Ideas on helping children do well in after-school activities.
C．Bad things about after-school activities.
D．Good things about after-school activities.
2．Susan Newman probably agrees (同意) that ________.
A．children can be good at every after-school activityB．students should manage to do more after-school activities
C．after-school activities can help children with their homework
D．too many after-school activities are bad for children’s confidence
3．What does the word “avoid” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A．Keep children away from. B．Be interested in.
C．Put more effort into. D．Help children with.
4．What is the writer’s main purpose (目的) in writing this passage?
A．To ask children to take part in more after-school activities.
B．To tell children to have both after-school activities and free time.
C．To help children find more time to do after-school activities.
D．To make children know all the after-school activities.

For teenagers, especially who are going to take part in the big tests, every second is valuable and we should
rethink of the ways of spending our time. Whether you have spent your time in a proper way? Here are some good
suggestions for you to take.
Firstly, spend time in doing things that are really important. Spend time with your family and friends, and
share your feelings and thoughts with them. Enjoy a nice hot meal and eat it slowly. Give yourself time to play and
spend enough time in sleeping. Little things like this may seem meaningless. But the truth is that little things matter
most in life.
Secondly, you have to know what has been done cannot be undone. Do not allow your mind to stay in the
past. Every day is a new start. You have to keep your eyes and ears open for tomorrow. It may not be a chance you
can get immediately, but it may be a chance for new experiences.
Then, do your best in every task. If you have only one chance to do something for someone, why not do it
with the best of your ability? It should not matter whether you are being praised or not. You will take pride in your
work because you’ve done your best. Trust me, your efforts will be rewarded in time.
Lastly, every moment you spend in doing things is the time taken from your life. Don’t waste your time
away working day and night just for money. That is not your life’s worth. The value of your time is measured by
how you spend it and whom you choose to spend it with.
1．What should we do to spend our time in life according to the writer’s suggestions?
A．We should pay less attention to little things.
B．We should enjoy a nice hot meal and eat it fast.
C．We should spend time with our family and friends.
D．We should play and spend much time in sleeping.
2．Why shouldn’t we stay in the past according to the passage?
A．Because the past is not important. B．Because we should have new experiences.
C．Because we have many tasks to do. D．Because we can get a new choice immediately.
3．Which is NOT true about the passage?A．All little things are meaningless. B．Try your best to do every task.
C．We will get something if we try our best.D．Spending your time wisely is important.
4．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A．Our life is our time.
B．Taking time from our life is more important.
C．Spending our time doing things is more important.
D．We should take advantage of every minute of our life.
5．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Don’t Waste Your Time B．Today Is Important
C．Spend Your Time Properly D．Value Every Minute

Many successful people do indeed follow a similar routine. This is because having a continuous daily routine
can help one get good habits, reduce decision fatigue (疲倦) and increase productivity. Some common habits
followed by successful people include waking up early, exercising regularly, setting goals, prioritizing (优先排列)
tasks, mentally preparing for the day, meditating, networking, reading or listening to books, and getting enough
sleep. Here are some examples of similar routines that successful people often follow:

their attention on what’s most important, and that helps them to succeed.
(3) Prioritize tasks: Successful individuals have a clear understanding of what needs to be achieved and
which tasks have the highest priority. This helps them stay focused and reduces decision fatigue.
(4) Deep thinking: Thinking deeply is a common practice of many successful people. It helps them to focus
on their desires and goals while reducing stress levels.
(5) Use network wisely: Successful people frequently network with others in their field or industry to gain
valuable insights, expand what they learn, and live in the moment. However, they won’t be addicted (上瘾) to using
the web with no personal control.
(6) Read or listen to audiobooks (音频书)：Many successful people are anxious readers or listeners. They
make time for learning and personal development. So audiobooks are one of the best choice for them.
(7) Get enough sleep: Successful people give priority to sleep and make sure they get 7—9 hours of sleep
daily. This helps them to stay refreshed, energized, and focused throughout the day.

的日常安排有利于提高工作效5
In October, there were many kinds of activities to help us learn English in my school, such as Spelling Bees,
Reading Ants, Dictionary Masters, and Singing Talents. The first one was my favorite.
The preliminaries (预选赛) of Spelling Bees were held on October 16th. Actually I didn’t feel confident (自
信的) because I didn’t have a wide vocabulary (词汇量). To my surprise, I made it through to the semi-finals (半决
赛).
On October 20th, I took part in the semi-finals. After the teacher explained the rules, the competition started.
My first word was “ash”. Although it was easy, I was too nervous to spell it correctly. As the teacher shook her
head, I felt so upset. I almost lost hope. Suddenly I remembered I could ask teachers for help. The rule saved me. I
took a deep breath to calm (使镇定) myself down.
Here came the second round. This time, the word was “conscious”. The former two students both spelt it
wrong. I was not sure of the spelling either, but I listened carefully and remembered their answers. When it was my
turn, I spelt the word confidently. “Correct!” said the teacher with a big smile. I was so excited that I got through to
the final!
Through the activities, I’ve discovered the charm (魅力) of English. Most importantly, I’ve enjoyed the
interesting process of learning.

Before arriving in China, I had read lots of books about China. Therefore, when I arrived, I was excited to be
living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. It was so greatly different from the UK. The food, the
landmarks, the big cities and everyday life—I couldn’t wait to explore.
However, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind, not because I was lazy, but because I had no
confidence to learn the most difficult language in the world. Besides this, once I moved to China, I lived in
Shanghai. It is an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language. So I thought English
would be sufficient.
But after a year in China I found many expats (外派人员) spoke Chinese. Perhaps it was achievable after
all? I felt uncomfortable because so many Chinese people could speak English while I couldn’t even speak the most
basic Chinese. To face the challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t
start earlier.
In the two years since starting to learn I have made great progress. Now, I am able to talk in Chinese on
many topics. Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as difficult as I once expected. When I speak to Chinese people in
Chinese, they almost always understand me. The most challenging thing is listening since Chinese people talk at
such a speed. I can’t always understand what’s been said but my weekly online language exchanges help with this.
Learning Chinese has taken a lot of hard work. But there is still a long way to go before I reach my goal of fluency
(流利).
Learning Chinese not only helps me in day-to-day life but deepens (加深) my cultural understanding of
such a great country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, don’t be afraid, face the challenge and be
confident.
1．After arriving in China, the writer ________.
A．read a lot of books about China
B．couldn’t wait to study Chinese
C．tried to learn more about China
D．missed his life in his home of UK
2．What does the underlined word “sufficient” probably mean in Para.2?
A．Enough. B．Important. C．Necessary. D．Possible.
3．Why does the writer think listening is the most challenging?
A．He has a hearing problem.
B．Chinese people speak too fast.
C．Chinese is the most difficult language.D．He doesn’t know much about many topics.
4．What does the writer want to tell us through his story?
A．It is never too late to learn.
B．Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.
C．Great hopes make great man.
D．A good beginning makes a good ending.

Have you ever wanted to achieve a goal and ended up doing lots of research on how to achieve it? As you
learned more and more. It seemed you knew less and less. That is because when you learned a new concept (概念).
You found that there was a lot more to know about it.
Usually, people think they need to get more and more information before trying a new idea. There is nothing
wrong with learning a lot, but when you let learning get in the way of doing, you will never get going.
One of the best ways to learn is to take action and learn from the results that you get from those actions.
Don’t be afraid of not being perfect and just take the first step. You will go further than those who are still in
preparation. It’s good to be prepared, but over-preparation in trying to reach a goal won’t get you results. The
knowledge and skills that you will need will be picked up along the way.
If a baby wants to learn how to walk, it doesn’t do it by just sitting there and thinking about how to walk.
The best way for a baby to walk is to actually get up and start walking. Sure it may fall, but with every fall, it learns
what is working and what is not and adjusts (调整) to it. By doing this over and over, it will finally learn to walk.
This is the method you should use when you want to achieve your goals as well. It works.
Learning more is great but if all you’re doing is learning and not taking action, it’s time to change that. Just
take the first step.
1．When you learned something new, you found there was ________ to know about it.
A．less B．nothing C．more
2．Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A．People need to learn a lot before trying a new idea.
B．One of the best ways to learn is to take action.
C．Learning has nothing to do with doing.
3．A baby should ________ when it wants to learn how to walk.
A．get up and start walking
B．sit there and think about how to walk
C．learn from its parents
4．The purpose of the passage is ________.
A．to tell us how to learn more
B．to tell us how to be successful
C．to talk about the importance of doing
9Never try to work when you are very hungry. If you want to do your homework right after school, you may
want to eat something before getting to work. Always do your homework before you get too tired. Don’t wait until
very late in the evening, or the assignment will seem much harder than it really is.
Plan your time if you have more than an hour’s work. Give yourself a break after an hour. On the other hand,
you should work at least half an hour a time without stopping.
Don’t put it off (推迟) until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework, you will have it on your
mind, and you won’t enjoy your free time so much. If you put it off until the end of the week or until night before a
test, you will have too much catching up to do. A little each night, enough to keep up with (跟上) what is happening
each day in school, will take the fear out of tests and keep you on top of it.
Do your homework at the same time every day. This will help you make it a habit (习惯) —part of your
daily work. It will make it easier to do, and it will make your free time nicer as well.
1．When someone is hungry, he’d better ________.
A．not work at all B．work harder C．not work too hard D．work as usual

Chemistry is usually thought to be more difficult than other subjects, at least for the beginner. There are
some reasons for this idea. For one thing, chemistry has a very specialized vocabulary (学科专用语汇). At first,
studying chemistry is like learning a new language. Also, some concepts (概念) chemistry are hard to understand.
However, with hard work and careful study, you can finish subject successfully and even enjoy it. Here are some
suggestions to help you develop good study habits and better understand the topics in the book.
·Firstly, attend classes on time. Listen to your teacher and take careful notes in class. If possible always
review the topics you learn in class, and review your notes on the same day.
·Secondly, think carefully whether you really understand the meaning of a term or the use of an equation (方
程式). A good way to test your understanding is to explain a concept to a classmate someone else.
·Thirdly, pay attention to things which have something to do with chemistry in life. Watch or do experiments
in class carefully.
·Fourthly, question often and do not be afraid to ask your teacher or do classmates for help.
You will find that chemistry is much more than numbers, formulas (分子式) and equations often used in
daily life just like math and physics. Once you fall in love with it, you’ll get lots of fun.
1．How many suggestions does the writer give the readers?A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.
2．The writer thinks that a good way to test your understanding of the formula “H CO” is to ________.
2 3

Which subject do you think is the most difficult? The answer may be math. Can the students sleep well
before a math test? Some students may worry about the result when they are taking math tests. But you can worry
less about it as long as you try to have right posture (姿势).
Erik, a scientist says, “If you are worried about math, posture can help.” That’s right—sitting up straight (直)
can help you do well in math tests.
Scientists ask 125 students to sit in a slumped-over (趴倒的) when they are taking math tests. And they find
out that only about 20% of the students say the tests are quite easy. However, when they are asked to sit straight
when taking a math test, 86% of the students say the same tests are much easier.
Scientists report that many students can’t think well if they don’t have a good sitting posture.
Good posture is not only good for taking math tests. Players, musicians and doctors also benefit from it. So
when you feel worried, you can sit straight or stand tall. It can help you think better than you did.
1．What’s the passage probably from?
A．A storybook. B．A sports magazine.
C．A history book. D．A science magazine.
2．How do the students feel when they are taking math tests?
A．Good. B．Boring. C．Not good. D．Easy.
3．Which of the following is right ?
