Unit 3 Growing Up话题阅读精练 时文阅读Passage1 Zootopia 2 Takes the World by Storm!《疯狂动物城2》席卷全球票房！Have you seen Zootopia 2? This fun animated movie is breaking box office records all over the world! In just its first few days in North America, it made about $156 million. People of all ages are rushing to theaters to watch it.Why is it so popular? Well, life can be stressful sometimes. Many people—both kids and adults—want to relax and enjoy a happy, exciting story. Zootopia 2 gives them just that! It brings back our favorite characters, Officer Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, and adds a new one: Gary De’Snake, a clever (and slightly dangerous!) snake.Even though many families now watch movies at home, going to the cinema is still a great way to spend time together—and it’s not too expensive. Disney also did a lot of advertising in China, with big premieres in Beijing and Shanghai. That helped the film become a huge success there too!The first Zootopia came out in 2016 and made over $1 billion worldwide. Experts think Zootopia 2 will do just as well—or even better! 翻译：你看过《疯狂动物城2》吗？这部有趣的动画电影正在全球打破票房纪录！在北美上映的头几天，它就收获了约1.56亿美元的票房。各个年龄段的人都争相去影院观看。它为什么如此受欢迎？嗯，生活有时会有压力。许多孩子和成年人都想放松一下，享受一个愉快而激动人心的故事。《疯狂动物城2》正好满足了他们的需求！它让观众喜爱的朱迪·霍普斯警官和尼克·王牌（狐尼克）回归，还新增了一个角色：加里·德’蛇（Gary De’Snake），一条聪明（且有点危险！）的蛇。尽管现在许多家庭都在家里看电影，但去电影院仍然是共度时光的好方式——而且花费也不高。迪士尼还在中国进行了大量宣传，在北京和上海举办了盛大的首映式。这也助力该电影在中国大获成功！第一部《疯狂动物城》于2016年上映，全球票房超过10亿美元。专家认为《疯狂动物城2》也会同样成功——甚至更成功！ 【长难句分析】1. Many people—both kids and adults—want to relax and enjoy a happy, exciting story. 这是一个典型的“主语+谓语+宾语”；“both kids and adults”为同位语插入语，主要解释“many people”的具体范围；动词不定式短语作宾语。2. Disney also did a lot of advertising in China, with big premieres in Beijing and Shanghai. 这是一个：简单句用“with +名词+介词短语”做伴随状语的句子，表示“带有……”或“通过……方式”I love this movie because it’s exciting and full of fun characters.这是一个由because引导的原因状语从句；主句是典型的主谓宾结构，从句由because引导，表示原因。【重难词汇梳理】模块语篇题型体裁词数内容简介时文阅读Passage1阅读理解说明文178本文讲述了让全世界的人同时走进影院的电影——《疯狂动物城2》。Passage2阅读理解说明文266生活充满了无数的胜利和失败，重要的是如何处理他们，我们必须学会继续前进。本文讲述了如何在生活中开创新篇章的方法实战演练Passage1完形填空说明文150本文介绍了中国青少年近视率很高，分析了近视的原因，并给出了解决的建议Passage2阅读理解议论文290本文主要针对孩子做家务是否应获得奖励，给出了两种截然不同的观点。Passage3阅读理解应用文230本文为张宁写给妈妈的信，信中抱怨了父母总要求他学习而根本不理解他的想法。Passage4阅读表达说明文310文章阐述了大多数父母对孩子似乎不太友好的原因是初为人之父母的担忧，而这担忧来自父母对孩子健康快乐成长的期待，所以孩子们确保让父母知道他们正在做什么，与父母常沟通，就会避免和父母之间的麻烦。animated /ˈænɪmeɪtɪd/ adj. 动画的；动画片的breaking /ˈbreɪkɪŋ/ v.

It is only seven square meters in size, but thousands of books are 1 in it. Unlike traditional libraries, this one doesn’t require its readers to 2 the books. Instead, it encourages them to pass those books on to someone else when they’ve finished reading.This library was 3 by Mr. Xu, a businessman, in 2010. The idea took shape when Xu recommended books online to students, but found it 4 for them to get the books from their school libraries. So, Xu bought and 5 nearly 1,000 books in the following year. The students who received the books were very thankful. Their thank-you letters got Xu to turn his book-gifting effort into a physical space.Xu’s library might be the smallest in the world, but in another sense, it’s also the biggest because its books keep 6 . Once, a reader took home an English book on Chinese history. A week later, he passed it on to a neighbor. 7 , the book traveled all the way abroad and ended up in Germany. “The 8 of the book is a wonder. Many wonders like this keep the culture of reading alive,” Xu tells the newspaper. Xu says he will continue this work although the library is now faced with the 9 of e-books. “This is the most 10 thing I’ve done in my life,” he says. “I hope that the library can stay open forever.”1．A．keptB．writtenC．printedD．punished2．A．returnB．copyC．lendD．buy3．A．lockedB．startedC．hiddenD．guarded4．A．hardB．harmfulC．possibleD．interesting5．A．dug upB．picked upC．gave awayD．threw away6．A．burningB．movingC．fallingD．shaking7．A．ClearlyB．HopefullyC．GenerallyD．Amazingly8．A．historyB．languageC．journeyD．background9．A．deathB．truthC．mistakeD．challenge10．A．sillyB．scaryC．commonD．meaningful Passage2Many kids help their parents to do chores such as washing the dishes, cleaning the floors and taking out the rubbish in the house. And some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as playing computer games for 20 minutes.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator. She believes that if kids get rewards, they will think that work isn’t worth (值得) doing unless they can get something. For example, kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it. Susie said, “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that it’s all the family members’ job to keep their homes clean.”Other people have different opinions (观点). They believe that money or other rewards can encourage (鼓励) kids to do more chores. It also teaches them a real world lesson that we need to work to make money. Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and gifts that can be used either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids get points after doing chores. Kids can exchange (交换) their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall. What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out with their homes without getting anything?1．How does the writer start the passage?A．By giving some facts.B．By giving some opinions.C．By using a teacher’s words.D．By showing his own experiences.2．Which of the following is Susie Walton’s opinion?A．Don’t ask kids to do housework.B．Don’t reward kids for doing anything.C．Don’t give kids rewards for doing chores.D．Don’t let kids play computer games.3．.What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．How to make money by doing chores.B．The apps that encourage kids to do chores.C．How to exchange the points for real rewards.D．The good side of rewarding kids for doing chores.4．What is the purpose (目的) of writing the text?A．To call on readers to do more chores.B．To tell readers of two different opinions.C．To invite readers to express their opinions.D．To show the writer’s views about doing chores. Passage3 Dear Mom,I don’t think you understand my life. You think I should be studying all the time. I know you want me to find a good job when I grow up, but I would like to have a wonderful time, too. You never think about fun things for me to do, like music and sports. Two days ago, when I was watching a football game on TV, you asked me to stop and do my homework. After finishing my homework, I still wasn’t allowed to read my football magazines. You said I had to go to bed early. That was bad enough, but yesterday was the worst day. I bought some computer games, and put them in my bag so that you wouldn’t see them. I told you I had to do my homework first. I knew it was wrong to tell a lie to you, but you told me that Dad would talk to me later. Mom, I didn’t quite like what you did to me! I really love you, Mom, but I wish you could try not to be so hard on me. Love,Zhang Ning1．Zhang Ning’s mother wants him ________ when he grows up.A．to be a teacherB．to find a good jobC．to work in a big cityD．to become a football star2．________ is Zhang Ning’s favorite sport.A．FootballB．VolleyballC．BasketballD．Baseball3．Zhang Ning is asked ________.A．to watch TVB．to do sportsC．to play computer gamesD．to study all the time4．Why did Zhang Ning put computer games in the bag? Because ________.A．he didn’t like themB．he had played them many timesC．he wouldn’t like his mother to find themD．there was something wrong with them5．We know from the letter that ________.A．Zhang Ning lives a very happy lifeB．Zhang Ning hates his motherC．Zhang Ning wishes to study all the timeD．Zhang Ning’s parents are very hard on himPassage4“I don’t like my parents. They always tell me that I should do this and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Zhang Hua, a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were young. Why aren’t some parents so friendly in their children’s eyes?One of the most important reasons is when someone becomes a parent, he/she often worries about things. Since you were born (出生), your parents have worried about everything about you. They do a lot for you. Though something would make you angry, they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice (选择) of friends, the food you eat, your study at school, how much sleep you get and so on. All these things are part of your life, because they want you to grow up healthily and happily. So how can you make things easier on yourself? It’s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone them if you get home later than usual. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Talk about your ideas with them and they may talk about theirs with you. Most of all, try to think why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being parents and need help that you can give them. When you become a parent, they may be able to help you learn how to get on with your children. 根据短文内容回答问题。1．Why don’t Zhang Hua like his/her parents? 2．Why do parents always worry about what their children do? 3．What should children do when they make mistakes according to the writer? 4．How can you make things easier on yourself? 5．What can you learn from the passage?
