After graduating from Fudan University’s Department of Education in 1951, Yu Yi started her teaching
career. She gave her whole life to her students, always putting their needs first.
Yu believed that being a 1 for her students was of great importance. She wanted to encourage them
and support them.
One of Yu’s teaching 2 became very famous all over China. In 1977, she taught a poem called The
Song of the Stormy Petrel on live television. People were so excited to see her teaching on TV because it was
unique (独特的) and interesting. It was like nothing they had ever seen before!
For Yu Yi, teaching the Chinese language wasn’t just about learning grammar and vocabulary. She believed
there must be something more 3 than that. She wanted her students to become real people and to think
critically (批判性地). Her ideas were so good that they were 4 in the curriculum standards (课程标准)
for all students.
Yu respected every student and tried her best to connect with them through her teaching. She was always
looking for ways to improve herself. Even after teaching for over 60 years, she still felt there was room to grow
and learn. Yu 5 taught the same thing to different classes with the same teaching plan. Every time, she
added something new and exciting. In 2019, Yu was honoured “People’s Educator” in China. This title showed
how much she had affected the lives of her students and the education system.
Yu Yi is truly an inspiration to both teachers and students. Her love for teaching, giving out to her students,
and continuous 6 to improve herself make her a shining example of what a great teacher should be.

（2024·上海浦东新·二模）Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文)
Do you have any indoor plants in your room? Indoor plants might look as if they just sit around not doing
much, but in many ways, they are the 7 heroes of the home. Not only do they look beautiful, but studies
have shown that they can give people a sense of wellbeing (安适).What’s more, indoor plants are easy to look
after and are not very expensive.
Indoor plants also known as houseplants or pot plants, are plants that like to grow indoors. Many of them are
not ideally fit for growing outside, especially in winter. Instead, they grow better inside, where it is 8 .
Several studies have backed this up and found that indoor plants can really lift your mood. Will Spoelstra, a
British botanist (植物学家), tells us, “There are many 9 of growing plants indoors. I find that during the
winter months, plants around the house can improve creativity and memory.” There is also research showing that
pot plants can clean the air around them by taking in harmful gases. “Plants can 10 some harmful
chemicals after the house is newly painted. Peace lilies and ivy are among the best,” says Will.
Most indoor plants are easy to grow. You can buy them from supermarkets, garden centers or online. Younger
plants are often cheaper than grown ones, but you get to care for them as they grow. Will suggests people read the
instruction on the label or find out more about the plants before 11 . The process is part of the joy of
planting. It can bring a new interest and focus into people’s lives and help to bridge the gap between home and
12 . It can provide a sense of relaxation, allowing people to escape from the tiredness of daily life.

（2024·上海黄浦·二模）Going shopping with your parents can be great fun. In the UK we buy more
clothes than any other country in Europe. What people might not realise is that the fashion industry, and
particularly “fast fashion”, is 13 to the planet.
Fast fashion refers to cheap clothes that are quickly produced by large companies to 14 the latest
styles. Styles change all the time and lots of people like to buy clothes that are in fashion right now. The aim of
fast fashion is to get these new styles into shops as fast as possible, so customers can buy them.
The fashion industry is 15 for between 8 and 10% of the greenhouse gas emissions (排放).

Making clothes also requires lots of water. Cotton comes from plants that need to be watered frequently to make
them grow, and turning raw cotton into clothes needs even more water. The clothes then have to be shipped to the
countries where they’re going to be sold, which produces even more pollution. Fast fashion items aren’t made to
last forever because they often go out of style quite 16 . Some people throw their clothes away when
they don’t want them anymore.
Companies often employ people in other countries to make their clothes, and some don’t pay their workers
very much. People then have to work 17 hours to earn enough money to live on. Some countries have
fewer rules than the UK, which means that factories aren’t always well looked after and checked for safety. That
could mean workers having to make clothes in dangerous or unhealthy 18 .
Lots of people are working for change. You could also raise awareness of the problem among your family
and friends or ask a teacher to help you spread the word at your school.

Wendy Haley works with other scientists to study how bats use their echolocation (回声定位) superpower.
Their take place in a special room called the Bat Lab. Jenny Lee, an editor of school newspaper is
trying to find out more about Wendy’s job.
(J=Jenny Lee, W=Wendy Haley)
J: Can you the Bat Lab?
W: Well, it’s some rooms covered with foams (海绵), so bats won’t get the strong echoes from hard walls. And
then there are some microphones spread out around the room. They are all fixed to the wall to pick up the call
from the bats. We also have high-speed cameras. They allow us to record their flight. We usually let the lights
, so the cameras can follow the bats by the heat energy. But we can’t see very well.

J: Are there obstacles (障碍物) in the room so that the bats have to fly around?
W: Oh, yes. We sometimes hang up some wooden boards in the rooms. We also set up a platform and train the
bats to fly from one side of the room to the platform for the food . The bats really like fruits. Sometimes
we tie bananas to the end of a fishing line. The bats will come through and just take the bananas.
J: Can you explain how bats echolocate in the conditions?
W: Suppose you are standing in a group of people in a party, and everyone is chatting. You are trying to talk to one
person and focus on what you yourself are saying. Then you speak louder and repeat yourself to make sure
someone has heard you. This is an effect that we see in bats as well.
J: What advice do you have for someone who wants to do the same thing?
W: If you’re interested in the research, you can find ways to get involved. , volunteering with a local
organization is a good way to get started.

On 4 June 1913, a woman called Emily Davison① went to a horse race, threw herself under the king’s horse
and later died from her injuries. A 31 which said “Votes for women” was found in her pocket. All her life,
Emily had been fighting for women’s rights. She was a suffragette, part of a group of women who started working
together in 1903 to 32 equal rights for women. When Emily was young, she and all the other women in
the UK were not allowed to vote, go to university or work in the same jobs as men. In the event of a divorce②, the
husband took the children. In poor villages, wives were 33 sold in the market.
The suffragettes wanted to 34 all this. More than a thousand were arrested③, but they did not stop.

They went on hunger strike in prison to fight against the unfair treatment. In 1928, women in the UK finally got
the right to vote and then more and more women started to go to university and get jobs. In 1952, female teachers
were given the right to earn the same money as male teachers. The situation has been 35 since the
suffragettes’ time but many people say that men and women are still not equal in society. 36 , now in the
UK, men earn 20 per cent more than women for the same work. If you are a male manager, your chance of being
promoted④ is 40 per cent higher than a female manager’s. That’s why many people are still fighting for equal
rights for women in the UK.

back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to
346 million have diabetes (糖尿病). Why? “Sugar, we believe, is one of the factors, if not the major factors,” says
Johnson.
Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies
learned to be very efficient (有效率的) in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had 39 stored for when
there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now
be killing us.
So what is the 40 ? It’s obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today’s world, it’s
extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with
it. Some manufacturers (制造商) even use sugar to replace taste in foods. However, they are advertised as 41
in fat. So while the foods seem healthier, large amounts of sugar are often added.
But some people are fighting against sugar and trying to create a healthier environment. Many schools are
replacing sugary desserts with healthier options, like fruit. Other schools are trying to encourage exercise by
building facilities like walking tracks 42 students and others in the community can exercise. The battle
has not yet been lost.

Festival, the biggest winter festival in the world. Some of the biggest and most beautiful ice sculptures (雕塑) can
be seen in the festival.
Harbin’s location and freezing temperatures make it a 43 place to host a winter festival. The city

thousands of cubic metres of ice. Ice artists from around the world turn the blocks of ice into buildings, animals,
and other 44 .
The world’s largest winter festival grew out of a traditional ice lantern display and garden party that was

It’s hard to imagine that this grand display of ice and snow sculptures started as ice in a bucket. Traditional
ice lanterns were created by freezing water in a bucket, 46 the ice, and making a hole into the block of ice.
A candle was then placed inside the block to create a lantern.
Today’s creations are much more carefully 47 and take much more time to form. Although the basic
materials are the same-water, light, and ice-the displays now include LED lights and a lot of details. From a 48

Should parents choose your clothes?
Lots of parents choose their children’s clothes, or at least have a say in what they wear. As children get older,
they tend to develop stronger opinions of how they want to dress. It’s common for children and teens to have
different opinions with their parents over clothes. Some young people don’t 55 how they dress, others
want to express their style, follow trends (n. 潮流) or dress like friends or famous people they like.
What do you think? Should parents choose your clothes?
Yes — Advice is helpful.
Parents can help you choose the right clothes because they have more 56 . It’s part of their job —
like making sure you eat a healthy diet. As they are usually paying, it makes sense that parents have a say. If
parents didn’t help children choose clothes, they might wear things that aren’t wise, like flip-flops (人字拖) in the
rain. 57 , at some special events, it can be necessary to dress in a certain way to show respect. Young
people can feel pressure to dress in clothes that are too grown-up. Choosing clothes can be a two-way 58
: children say what they prefer but parents have the final say. It’s not just about what you wear, but how you wear
it.
No — It’s an individual decision.
You should decide because you’re the one wearing the clothes. Parents don’t always understand what

children like or know what is trendy. What’s more, choosing for yourself is an important step towards becoming
59 and can build self-confidence.
Selecting clothes can be fun and creative, and allows you to express yourself and develop an individual style.

A bedtime routine (睡前习惯) is the activities you do every night before going to bed. Your bedtime routine
can fit your needs and sleep environment. It can also help form habits to tell your brain it is time for bed. The
following 61 may help you get a better bedtime routine.
Decide on a Set Bedtime
Decide on a bedtime and wake-up time and stick to (坚持) them every day, including at weekends. A(n)
62 bedtime routine isn’t good for training your brain to naturally feel tired before sleep.
Take a Warm Shower
Consider taking a warm shower at least 20 minutes before you go to sleep. Your body will heat up from the
water, and cool down 63 as the water dries up. The sudden change of your body temperature can
usually help you feel relaxed, and even a little tired. Researchers at the University of Texas found that showering
with water of 40°C~42. 5°C one to two hours before bedtime was 64 better sleep.
Listen to Music
Music can be a powerful relaxation tool. You may choose any type of music you like, as long as it 65

noticed this, I thought it would be stolen for sure. But I found that someone had put my wallet on top of a bench
so that I would find it more easily. The most surprising thing was that nothing had been taken from it!
Kirsten: That’s pretty 76 . It always makes me smile to see all the lost things.
Edwina: People here 77 a lot. For example, almost no one crosses the road when the light is red, even if
there are no cars coming.
Kirsten: You’re right! I remember I once crossed the road when the light was red. People waiting on the other side
looked at me in a very annoyed way. That made me decide never to do it again!
Vishal: That’s funny! In India, people don’t do that!
Joseph: Well, another thing that can be funny is Finnish food. One day, soon after getting to Finland, I felt like
having something sweet. I went into the corner shop and I saw that there were freshly baked doughnuts on the
bread counter. “Excellent!” I thought, and I chose a big doughnut to sink my teeth into. But imagine my horror

（2024·上海长宁·二模）Perhaps you’ve heard of the huge action superstar of the 1980s and 1990s,
Arnold Schwarzenegger, famous for movies like The Terminator. Even now, at the age of 76, Schwarzenegger has
never given up on his passion for bodybuilding and physical fitness.
As a child born in 1947 in Austria, Schwarzenegger had watched movies about Hercules, and dreamed of
being as big as the 79 he saw on the screen. Schwarzenegger began working on his dream when he was a
teenager, exercising and weightlifting nonstop. As a young man he would take part in the biggest bodybuilding
competitions in the world, 80 the titles of Mr Universe five times and Mr Olympia seven times.
At the height of his bodybuilding, Schwarzenegger decided to try and break into Hollywood. He moved to
the US with little money, knowing 81 any English. But he worked tirelessly on learning the language and
acting. Since his accent wouldn’t fit the position, his name was too long and his body was too big, he wasn’t 82
into Hollywood with open arms. “… Everyone said… ‘You will never become a leading man’,” Schwarzenegger
said in an interview with Virgin Radio UK.
But Schwarzenegger wasn’t going to be held back. “I didn’t listen to the naysayers (反对者),” said
Schwarzenegger, “… like Mandela always said, everything is impossible 83 someone does it. And that’s
the way I feel.”
Schwarzenegger went on to become the Governor of California in 2003 and ran for two terms before
returning to the world of acting. He continues to act, runs exercise programs and has also written a number of
books on 84 fitness and achieving success.
Schwarzenegger’s story is something we can learn from. We should never give in to the naysayers and
never give up going after our dreams.

Blue calico (印花布) appeared in the Han and Jin dynasties, developed in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and
flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the 1980s, women in the Jiangnan countryside liked to wear blue
calico clothes, for they were not only beautiful but also comfortable for working in rice fields. Last month,
students in school got the chance to see and learn about these 85 clothes.
The “exploration of old Chinese costumes” class on Nov 8 at Nanjing Foreign Language School went deep
into learning about blue calico. The students met the 86 of making their own bags through tie-dyeing (扎
染). It is a dyeing skill used to make blue calico.
“First, fold the cloth bag the way you like,” said he, a grade 8 student. “Then use rubber bands (橡皮筋) to
hold it. Next, 87 blue dye which is made from the leaves of the indigo plant, to the water. Push the bag
down well so the colors go through. Then wait. An hour later, wash it a few times with clean water to 88
extra dye.”
“Tie-dyeing is a magical art. Everyone does it a bit 89 . You never know exactly how it will look in
the end because it depends on how the rubber bands are held. It’s amazing and attractive.” said Ma Qianyu, a
grade 8 student, happy with her work. “The dye and cotton material all come from 90 and people make
blue calico all by hand. It is a symbol of folk (民间的) people and their hard work and effort.” she said.
“Clothing is a part of culture. It is also a part of art and life,” said Chen Xi, the teacher of the class. “Our
students will later go to Nanjing Museum to get more knowledge about life in Jiangsu and the folk customs there.”

Exams help teachers see what kids know, but some say it’s time to stop the clock
Students in the US are regularly tested on their knowledge of class materials, from midterms to finals.
Traditionally, educators have put time limits on tests 91 they believe it’s fair to give most students the
same amount of time, and they also think students who really know the material should be able to answer all the
questions during that time. Studies have shown, however, that the 92 to take a test quickly doesn’t
reflect (反映) a student’s intelligence or knowledge of the material. Timed tests simply favour (有利于) students
who can think under pressure. What do you think? Should we get rid of timed tests?
Yes—having a time limit on tests can be unfair
Time limits on tests give an advantage to students who can think quickly and stay calm. That has 93
to do with how much they know or how much they’ve studied. Many students, including people with learning
difficulties, need more time to focus on their thoughts. They can get stressed and anxious (焦虑的) and even have
trouble sleeping the night before a test, which will affect their performance. Not everyone can express his ideas or
knowledge while the clock is ticking. Studies show that when students have time to focus on the questions, they
give more thoughtful answers and 94 remember the material better.
No—it’s important to have time limits on tests
Giving students the same test with the same time limit is a fair way to test and compare their knowledge
and abilities. While some students may need extra time due to specific needs, not everyone does. 95
there is a time limit for students to finish a test, they won’t learn how to manage their time or decide how much
time to spend on each question. Time limits encourage students to trust their knowledge, make decisions and
move forward, which helps build 96 .
Learning to work efficiently and quickly is also important in the real world, including in the workplace.
