好思想品德,逐步提升核心素养,发展终身学习能力。
本套教科书分为六册,共三十三个单元。每个单元围绕一个主题,先由开篇页导入,
再分四个板块从不同侧面展开。
开篇页为一幅精美的主题插图,图上附有单元序号和标题、一个主题之问,以及语言
交际、文化学习、思维训练、策略运用和项目实践五个方面的学习目标。这些图文可以帮
助你们了解单元主题、明确学习目标,激发你们对单元主题的学习兴趣。
开篇页之后是“准备”板块。该板块包括听说(Listening & Speaking)、功能
(Function)和语音(Pronunciation)三个部分,主要通过听、说、看、读等活动引入
单元主题,帮助你们掌握与主题相关的语言和文化基础知识,激发你们进一步探索单元主
题的兴趣。
接下来是“探索”板块。该板块包括思维技能(Thinking Skills)、阅读策略

Use)四个部分。思维技能和阅读策略以专项训练的方式进行,并在主题阅读活动中复现。
主题阅读通过一个语篇和多个紧密相连的活动引导你们从语言、文化、思维、策略等不同
视角对单元主题进行探索。语法应用分为词法和句法应用,帮助你们在梳理语法规则的同

论、先读后仿写的形式,帮助你们围绕单元主题进行拓展学习。
最后是“收篇”板块。该板块包括项目实践(Project)、复习(Review)和自评

动手做来完成一项小组合作实践项目。复习部分重点复习单元的词汇和语法,同时通过听

 I see in my mind Deng Qingming in a tiny space with ___________________ 
_________________________________________________.
 Now I understand ____________________ will pay off.
Deng Qingming is a taikonaut with a great dream. In 1998, he joined China’s 
space team as a young pioneer. From the very first day, he made a promise to 
himself — to fly into space one day.
To prepare for that day, he started a long and hard journey of training with his 
teammates. They trained, for example, to live in a small space, eat special space 
food, work under strong lights and go without showers. They knew that they must 
always be ready, both in mind and body, for flying and working in space.
For nearly 25 years, Deng had no chance to fly into space. But he did not give up. 
He kept training and always believed in his dream. Finally, his hard work paid off. 
On November 29, 2022, Deng flew into space on the Shenzhou-15 spaceship.
Deng succeeded by holding on to his dream and working hard for it. He sets an 
excellent example to us all. His story teaches us that our dreams will one day come 
true as long as we keep going.

I first worked as a waitress. Every day, I greeted guests with a warm smile 
and led them to their tables. I also carried meals and drinks from the kitchen 
to their tables. The work was boring, and I had to work for long hours. Soon 
after, I found a new job at a bookstore. With shelves of books all around me, 
I really enjoyed my work. Before the bookstore opened or after it closed, 
I often took books from the shelves to read. I always shared my reading 
experiences with my customers and had 
interesting conversations with them. 
Last year, I became the new manager. 
Moving from the noisy restaurant to the 
quiet bookstore, and from a waitress to a 
manager, is not just a simple job change 
but a big change in my life.

Falling in Love with Beijing Opera
My name is Lingling. When I was six, my grandfather 
introduced Beijing opera to me, and I fell in love with it 
immediately. 
I like Beijing opera for many reasons. First, the actors wear 
colorful masks. Each color stands for a different type of 
character. For example, a red mask means a good person, 
and a white mask means a bad person. Second, I think the 
acting of the different roles is really amazing. There are 
four main roles in Beijing opera—Sheng, Dan, Jing and 
Chou. Each plays its part in its own way. Third, I like the 
singing style and the music. The singing style of Beijing 
opera is very popular among its fans, and the traditional 
Chinese instruments like erhu and sanxian make the music 
so pleasant to the ear. 
I hope more people around the world can enjoy this great art.

body. For example, jogging is good for our legs and hearts. For another, it is a 
good way to rest and relax our minds. That’s why we should do some exercise 
after hours of work or study. So, don’t be lazy. Let’s exercise!
Tips for Doing Sports
When you plan to do exercise, here are some 
tips for you.
Talk with your doctor. He/She can give you 
some advice according to your condition.
Warm up. You need to start slowly with a warm-
up, and then move on step by step.

Hi, Meimei. I am glad to come across your post. I think being 
positive can bring us a lot of benefits. We can become more 
confident and have better chances for success.
How can we stay positive? To start with, I think playing 
sports is one of the ways. I am never absent from the football 
matches in my school. When I am playing football, I am always confident in 
myself. Besides, we need to find the good points in ourselves. To live a happy 
life, we must first love ourselves. Finally, if we do have bad feelings, we can 
write them down. Talking to ourselves is a useful way to get through difficult 
moments.

London, England. They wanted to make running fun and friendly for everyone. 
The first event had only a few runners, but many people liked it. Soon, Parkrun 
grew and spread to many other countries. Now, thousands of people join every 
Saturday to run or walk the 5-kilometer course. 
Parkrun welcomes everyone, no matter how fast 
or slow they are. It is free, and people can bring 
their family and friends to enjoy the fresh air 
together. Parkrun is about getting active, having

Read the beginning part of a text and set a purpose for reading.
Read a sentence from the same text and decide whether the 
information is important or unimportant for your reading purpose.
Read the text and set a reading purpose first, and then decide 
whether the information is important or not for your purpose.
Good readers set a purpose for reading. While reading, they can decide what is important 
and what is not for the reading purpose.
The period of time from age 13 to 19 is a very important stage of human life. Many 
important life changes take place during this teenage stage.
As a teenager, you also have growing pains. You face problems like schoolwork stress, 
pressure from other people and so on. Then, how can you deal with the growing pains? 
Firstly, learn to listen and understand. This can help you learn more about life and people 
around you. Secondly, make friends with your classmates. Your friends may have the 
same problem as yours, so you can always understand and help each other. Lastly, don’t 
compare yourself with others. Everyone shines in their own ways. You should discover 
and develop your own strong points. 
As teenagers grow in age, their bodies reach their full adult height. This is the clearest 
change. Also, hair grows on certain areas of their bodies, and their voices change too.

Dear Uncle Wang,
How time flies! Congratulations on moving to your new house! How’s 
everything going in London? So many things took place in my past school year. 
Last October, I signed up for a music club. I felt so lucky to make some good 
friends there. The music teacher, Mrs. Zhang, helped me improve my singing 
skills. But my parents didn’t allow me to learn singing. They said, “It is a waste 
of time.” I was disappointed and didn’t know what to do. When Mrs. Zhang 
learnt about this, she advised me to have an open and honest talk with my 
parents. I gathered my courage to talk to them. After that, my parents started to 
understand my love for music. Two weeks ago, they even came to cheer me on. 
I was very glad to have their support. 
But here is the problem. I can’t spare much time for my study because of the 
singing activities. What should I do? Any advice?
Yours,
Li Xiang

Beijing National Stadium is a landmark of Beijing. 
People also call it Bird’s Nest, because its shape is 
just like a nest.
The stadium is 333 meters long from the north to the south and 296 meters wide from 
the east to the west. A large stadium like this is very difficult to build. To make it 
strong and light as well, we built the whole stadium with a strong new material. No 
other structure in the world was built with so much of this new material before.

Are you looking for a lovely place to spend your vacation? The Honghe Hani 
Rice Terraces in Yunnan may be a good choice. 
With mountains and clouds, this special landscape looks like a beautiful Chinese 
painting. The color of the terraces changes from green to yellow at different 
times of the year. In ancient times, the Hani people developed a watering 
project. Today, it still helps them bring water from the forests to fields. To make 
better use of these water-filled rice fields, farmers raise fish and ducks in them. 
Near the terraces, there are many houses with three floors in the villages. The 
first floor is for pigs and other animals, the second is a living area and the top 
floor is for storing rice.
The lively landscape is really beautiful. How do you like it? Feel free to leave us

When you open a map of China, you are sure to see a line 
across the northern China. It’s one of the most amazing 
wonders of the world. People call it the Great Wall of China. 
For thousands of years, the Great Wall stood there to keep 
out “enemies” from the north. Workers in ancient times 
used earth and stones to build the wall. To help soldiers 
quickly send messages, the ancient people designed some 
watchtowers on the wall. This shows the wisdom and hard 
work of the Chinese people. What’s more, the wall is also 
important for trade. It protected trading routes such as the 
Silk Road.
Today, you can see the Great Wall of China in movies, 
books and even on people’s T-shirts. It is not only a place 
of interest but also a symbol of the nation.

around 13,000 kilometers. Three of the planets are smaller than Earth. 
They are Mercury, Venus and Mars. The other four planets are larger. They 
are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. In the solar system, Jupiter is the 
largest planet, with a diameter of  about 140,000 kilometers. 
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, at a distance of about 58 million 
kilometers, while Neptune is the farthest, at a distance of about 4.5 billion 
kilometers. As for Earth, it is the third closest, closer than Mars but farther

Earth, while Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune are much colder. For example, the 
temperature on Neptune is around minus 200℃. No living things can survive 
on these planets. As our home, Earth is alive with life because it is neither too 
hot nor too cold. Mars is more similar to Earth in size and temperature. And 
there’s also ice there! So scientists are looking for life on Mars.
Besides the eight planets, there are many other smaller ones. Together, they

Earth and its neighbors
Activity  1
Read the text about Earth and Mars and complete the table.
Activity  2
Earth and Its Neighbor—Mars 
Is there any life in outer space? We may think of the same planet—Mars.
Mars is smaller than Earth. It has a diameter of around 6,800 kilometers 
and Earth’s diameter is around 13,000 kilometers. Mars looks red 
because of its red soil, while most parts of Earth look blue because of its 
oceans. As a neighbor planet, Mars is farther from the Sun than Earth. 
Mars is about 228 million kilometers away from the Sun, while Earth 
is about 150 million kilometers away. That is why Mars is colder than 
Earth. The temperature on Mars is about minus 63℃; here on Earth, the 
temperature is about 14℃ on average. Although the two planets have 
many differences, they have something in common—water. On Mars, 
there’s a lot of ice under the ground; On Earth, we have water both on 
and under the ground.
Mars is waiting for us to explore, and so is the universe.

不同,由于质量和轨道等方面的原因,在2006 年8 月24 日于布拉格举行的第二十六届国际
天文学联会上通过的第五号决议中,冥王星被划为矮行星,不再归为行星之列。至此,太阳
系中被认为只有八大行星。

英语中的情态动词主要有can、could、may、might、shall、should、will、would、must、need 等。
情态动词
否定式及否定式简略形式
can
can not = can’t
could
could not = couldn’t
may
may not = mayn’t
might
might not = mightn’t
shall
shall not = shan’t
should
should not = shouldn’t
will
will not = won’t
would

must
must not = mustn’t
need
need not = needn’t
注意:美式英语中常用must not 而不用mustn’t。mayn’t、mightn’t 和shan’t 也很少用。
1. can(could)的基本用法。
1)表示能力,意为“能;会”。can 表示现在的能力,could 表示过去的能力。例如:
Can you play the piano? 你会弹钢琴吗?
She couldn’t come yesterday because she was ill. 她昨天不能来是因为她病了。
2)表示请求、允许,意为“可以”。例如:
Could you show me the way? 你可以告诉我怎么走吗?
You can borrow my dictionary. 你可以借我的词典。
注意:表示请求、允许时,could 比can 语气更委婉。
3)表示可能。例如:
The moon can’t always be full. 月有阴晴圆缺。
Could it be Li Hong? 可能是李红吗?
注意:表示可能性时,could 比can 表示的可能性小。
2. may (might) 的基本用法。

You may use my pen. 你可以用我的笔。
Grammar 121
May I park here? 我可以在这儿停车吗?
Might I use your phone? 我可以用你的电话吗?
注意:在提出请求时,might 比 may 语气更委婉,更有礼貌。
句型“Can/May/Could/Might I ...?”表示请求对方许可。其中can 语气最不正式;could 语气
比较客气、委婉;may/might 用于正式场合,语气恭敬;might 比may 更为客气。例如:
Can I sit beside you? 我可以坐在你旁边吗?
May I use your pen? 我可以借用一下你的笔吗?
Could you give me a hand? 你能帮我一个忙吗?
Might I have your email address? 我可以要你的电子邮箱地址吗?

The letter must be from her pen pal. 这封信一定是她笔友寄来的。
3)表示劝告或建议,意为“应当”,表明事情的必要性与重要性。例如:
You must do more exercise. 你应该多锻炼。
注意:must 的否定式, must not/mustn’t 表示不许、禁止,意为“不能;一定不要”。例如:
You must not play on the road. 不许在路上玩耍。
回答用must 提问的疑问句时,要用don’t have to 或needn’t 作否定回答,不能用mustn’t。
例如:
—Must we keep the windows open all the time? 我们得一直让窗户开着吗?
—No, you don’t have to./No, you needn’t. 不,没有必要。
must 和have to 都有“必须”的含义,但各自的侧重点不同。must 强调说话者的主观看法,
而have to 强调客观的需要。例如:
I must leave now. 我现在得走了。(我想走)
She missed the bus and had to walk home. 她没赶上公共汽车,只好步行回家。(错过公共
汽车的客观原因导致她不得不步行回家。)
must 没有人称、数和时态的变化,have to 则有。例如:
I had to borrow some money at that time. 那时我只好借些钱。
4. shall 和should 的基本用法。

1)比较级:常用于“比较级+ than”结构。例如:
Cats are more lovely than other animals. 猫比其他动物更可爱。
This article is less difficult than that one. 这篇文章不如那篇文章难。
2)最高级:常用“the + 最高级+ 比较范围”结构,比较范围常用of、in、among 引导
的短语表达。例如:
The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest wonders in the world. 中国长城是世界上最伟大
的奇观之一。
I think roses are the most beautiful of all the flowers. 我认为玫瑰花在所有的花中是最漂亮的。
She was the eldest among them. 她是她们当中年纪最大的。
注:在一定的上下文中,形容词最高级后的名词(所谓的中心词)可省去。例如:
He is the youngest in the class. 他是班上年龄最小的(学生)。
4. 比较结构中还须注意以下问题:
1)比较级与最高级的结构可以转换,意思不变。例如:
The Changjiang River is longer than the other rivers in China. 在中国,长江比其他河流都长。
The Changjiang River is the longest river in China. 长江是中国最长的河流。
2)当某一事物与其他事物作比较时,被比较事物中不能包括本身。例如:
He is taller than any other student in his class. 他比班上其他学生都高。
Shanghai is larger than any city in Hubei. 上海比湖北任何一个城市都大。
Grammar 127
3)如果比较对象相同,可用that/those 代替第二个比较对象。例如:
The weather in Shanghai is better than that in Wuhan. 上海的天气比武汉的要好。
The texts in Book Ⅲ are much easier than those in Book Ⅳ. 第三册的课文要比第四册的容易
得多。
4)两个比较级用and 连在一起可表达全面增加或减少,意为“越来越……”。例如:
The weather is getting warmer and warmer. 天气变得越来越暖和。
She is becoming more and more beautiful. 她变得越来越漂亮。
5)“the + 比较级,the + 比较级”表示“越……,越……”。例如:
The more, the better. 越多越好。
The more you practice, the easier it becomes. 你练得越多,做起来就越容易。
6)表示两者中“较……”时,用“the + 形容词比较级+ of 短语”来表达。例如:
He is the taller of the two. 他是两人中较高者。
7)形容词的比较级可用much、a little、a lot、even 等修饰,使原来的比较级在语意上更
加明确。例如:
Chickens are much smaller than cows. 鸡要比奶牛小得多。
This movie is a little more interesting than that one. 这部电影比那部更有趣一些。
This will make our job even more difficult. 这会使我们的工作变得更困难。

Xiao Ya:	Mom, do I look fat in my new dress? I’m going to wear it to Xiaoxiao’s birthday party. 
Mom:	
No. You look great!
Xiao Ya:	Really? My friend Li Hong has such beautiful long legs.

Beauty isn’t about legs or faces. It’s about confidence. Everyone is special! Be yourself and 
everyone will think you are beautiful. 
Xiao Ya:	But I don’t think I am …

Look, you’re good at math and you are a good runner. You are beautiful in your own way.

Unit 5 Amazing Places
Listening & Speaking Activity 2
It’s 5 o’clock in the morning now. We are walking on Tian’anmen Square. It’s so large. It’s 880 
meters long from the north to the south and 500 meters wide from the east to the west. It’s cold and 
dark out here, yet it’s quite crowded already. We are getting excited. The flag raising ceremony is 
going to begin in 20 minutes. We can’t wait to see the national flag going up.

Hello, everyone! I’m Meimei. I’m from China. Let me tell you something about our tea culture. 
China is one of the first countries in the world to plant tea, and Chinese tea has a history of many 
thousand years. People mostly plant tea in the south. And we can drink tea at any time of the day and 
we have many choices to choose from.
Hi! I’m Steve. I’m from Britain. Let me tell you about tea in my country. The tea culture began 
around 1660 in the UK. Black tea is our favorite. We don’t have many tea gardens. We have to 
buy tea from other countries. We drink tea with some snacks in the afternoon. It’s very important 
in our daily life. Most people prefer to drink tea with some milk.
Unit 6 Earth and Beyond
Listening & Speaking Activity 2
The sun is at the center of the solar system. It is about 4.5 billion years old and 150 million kilometers 
away from the earth. The temperature at the sun’s surface is about 5526.85 ℃. The sun provides 
energy, light and heat for the earth. According to scientists, in about 3.5 billion years from now, the 
sun will be 40% brighter than it is today, and it will get bigger and bigger. In about 4.5 billion years, 
the sun will turn into a huge red ball and then die by breaking into small pieces.

Dear Xiaozhe,
  How are you doing on Jupiter? I arrived on Mars with my parents last week. There is no air here, 
so we have to produce some by ourselves. Mars is colder than Earth and the Sun rises from the east. 
There is a wonderful view of two small moons in the sky at night. There are 25 hours a day on Mars.

Yesterday, I went to the National Park in Olympus Mons with my classmates. It’s one of the largest 
mountains in the solar system. Everyone has a small spacecraft to get around on Mars. Last night, I 
was designing my own spacecraft. I hope I can explore the whole universe one day.
  Tell me something interesting about your experiences on Jupiter. I’m looking forward to hearing 
from you soon.
                                    Best,
Kangkang  
Review Activity 1
Nicolaus Copernicus was born in Poland, on February 19th, 1473. Copernicus studied in Poland and 
later in Italy. He studied some subjects and then became an officer in a Roman church.
In his spare time, Copernicus liked to watch the sky. He put forward many ideas about the solar 
system. For example, the earth and other planets travel around the sun. And the earth is not the 
center of the universe. At that time, people didn’t believe him. They thought Copernicus was crazy. 
Copernicus published his ideas in a book in 1543, but his book didn’t change people’s view about the 
universe.  However, until about sixty years later, scientists proved his ideas right.

本套教科书根据教育部最新颁布的《义务教育英语课程标准(2022年版)》(以下
简称“课标”)编修。
教科书编修小组由主编、副主编和编委组成,同时聘请肖思宇、单小明、邓华、邓
元、李澧、王若婷、廖芬芳、李艳玲、赖永晖、王培俭、梁晶等二十余人全程参与编修
工作。编修小组在全国十个省区市对原教科书的使用情况进行调查,广泛收集广大师生
用户的意见和建议,深入分析原教科书中有待修订的内容。在此基础上,编修小组制订
了详细的工作方案,随即启动了编修工作。编修小组深入学习课标,深刻领会课标精
神,拟定了编修思路,对原教科书的整体结构、单元编排、素材选编、活动安排、人
物形象及插图等进行了全新设计。按新思路编修的教科书具有以下特色:注重核心素
养的全面与协同发展,彰显课程的育人价值;按主题对单元进行整体编排,帮助学生
形成单元主题大观念;践行英语学习活动观,引导学生“在体验中学习,在应用中实
践,在迁移中创新”;开展思维和策略的显性教学,强调通过目标明确、内容具体、
步骤清晰的显性教学促进学生思维品质和学习能力的发展;注重学生对中外优秀文化
的学习,拓宽学生的国际视野,坚定学生的文化自信。
自初稿定稿到出版发行,本套教科书经过了多轮修改和反复打磨。其间,得到了诸
多英语教育专家、教研员和一线教师的指导和帮助,另有数百名教师和学生参与了本套
教科书的试教试用。在此,谨对他们的宝贵意见和辛劳付出表示衷心感谢!
教科书使用过程中,如有任何意见和建议,欢迎随时联系我们。
