2 . Thanks to “double reduction” policy (“双碱”政策) comes out, many students may have time to enjoy after-school activities. Some students can play sports. They may play soccer, pingpong or do Chinese Kungfu.

Some students go to learn music. They sing, dance or play some instruments (乐器). Other students can draw or practice calligraphy (书法) and more. After school activities are fun and good for students.

But why should students do after school activities? Here are some reasons. First, doing an after-school activity is a short break from studying. After the break, students can better focus on the class or their schoolwork. Next, students can make some friends while doing after-school activities. Finally, students can get some new skills from the activities. For example, they can learn some important life skills like working with others or dealing with themselves.

1. According to the “double reduction” policy, what kind of after -school classes CAN’T students take during vacations?

A．Sports.

B．Music.

C．Math.

D．Drawing.

2. From the passage we know after school activities are      .

A．tired

B．wonderful

C．hard

D．useless

3. What does the writer want to tell us?

B．Doing after school activities is a waste of time.

C．Students should keep away from the after-school activities.

D．After school activities may have a bad influence on our study.

3 . For primary and middle school students, being able to cook will become a must in the near future. They will also need to learn how to plant vegetables, raise poultry and maintain home machines according to the new requirements.

The Ministry of Education (MOE) recently released (发布) a new curriculum standard for labor education (劳动教育). Starting from the coming autumn term, students in primary and middle schools will take courses on labor skills at least once a week.

According to the new standards, there are three types of labor tasks. The first refers to everyday housework, including cleaning, cooking and using and maintaining home machines. Next is productive labor, including agriculture, making traditional handcrafts, and using new technologies such as 3D printing and laser cutting. The third type is service work, including volunteer work.

The new curriculum also calls for a labor week every school year, which will be a week of after-school activities aimed at labor education.

Because of a lot of studying pressure, schools have placed more focus on the school lessons, and many schools have seen housework as a waste of time. But according to the MOE, labor education must be focused on to help students cultivate social values and develop an interest in labor.

Following the release of the curriculum standard, Internet users are heatedly discussing the changes on social media. Many welcome such labor courses and say it is necessary to teach young students basic life skills. Some are happy to learn such skills during their own school days.

1. What will become a must in the near future for school students according to the text?

A．Planting trees.

B．Using computers.

C．Raising chickens.

D．Being able to cook.

2. How many types of labor tasks are there according to the new standards?

D．Four.

3. What does the underlined words “new technologies” in Para.3 refer to?

A．Volunteer work.	B．After-school activities.
C．3D printing and laser cutting.	D．Using and maintaining home machines.

4. What is the text mainly about?

A．School lessons are important to students.	B．Housework will be seen as a waste of time.

5 . It has been Wu Rongjin’s dream to be a positive influence on her. students since she started teaching at Luwan No. 1 Central Primary School in Shanghai,

The school, near the Memorial for the Site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China(CPC)(中共一大会址), has rich historical resources to help its students learn about the history of the CPC.

During a visit to the memorial in 2005, Wu noticed some of the students were not interested in the guide’s description. Later, Wu arranged for the students to revisit the memorial, and write their own tour and narration script (解说词) in simple language. Wu wanted to help the students learn about the revolutionary(革命的) tradition in China, and treasure their happy lives.

A group of the students began working as tour guides, especially for visitors of their own age, at the memorial. The students’ lively narrations have won high praise from visitors.

During the past 17 years, Wu has worked with the students (tour guides) to organize tours, write narration scripts, and explore new forms of narration in Chinese and English.

Many former members of the teenage narration team have continued taking part in related narration activities, even though many of them are now studying in middle schools or universities, or have even started working life.

Hu, now a middle school student, says he is often stopped on the street and told, “I remember you, You were a member of the teenage narration team at the memorial.” Lin, another former member of the team, is studying abroad, She says she can still remember all of the narration scripts.

9 . When I was young, I was a terribly shy girl in regular classes. I always sat in the back of the classroom.     1     Each Monday I would work my way to the back of the line forming at the diving board to avoid being called to practice the dives.

However, the day of our diving test came finally. My blood ran cold when the teacher announced we would be graded for our final on the most difficult dive—the jackknife (屈体跳水).     2     As I watched, each student seemed to perform the challenging dive effortlessly, and shortly I would have to attempt something I’d never even practiced before. Suddenly, I remembered someone telling me that when you picture yourself doing a skill over and over, it’s just as effective as physically practicing that skill. So I watched carefully as each girl jumped at the end of the board. They first added a jump for height and then folded her body in half to reach for her toes.     3     I think I was actually in a state of shock, because all of a sudden I saw these four steps as doable (可做的).

    4     With my heart pounding (剧烈地跳动) and knowing I was going to be embarrassed beyond belief, I walked down the board, jumped once and then again to get height, folded for the toe reach, and stretched out just as I had pictured in my mind, entering the water straight as an arrow.

I received a perfect grade on my dive that day and an A for the course. It was awesome to think that I had just learned my first dive.     5     Sometimes, what you need may be just a try!

A．Then it was my turn.

B．So I’d not be called upon to read.

C．Everything went just as I imagined.

D．But I still dreamed to learn to dive like others.

E．Never underestimate your power of achieving something.

F．I felt nervous as the line to the awful diving board shortened.

G．At last, they straightened out like an arrow for entry into the water.
