The Ministry of Education notes problems like myopia, poor fitness, and limited exercise among students, with some schools even replacing PE classes with other subjects. 三月，中国迎来新学期，“健康第一” 理念再次成为教育工作的重中之重，这背后是政策指引与现实需求的双重驱动。教育部指出，许多学生仍面临近视、体质差、运动少等问题，部分学校甚至用其他课程挤占体育课。To act on this policy, schools must provide enough PE classes and ensure at least two hours of daily physical activity, strictly banning the takeover of PE lessons. 为落实这一政策，学校必须开设充足的体育课，确保学生每天至少两小时体育活动，并严格禁止挤占体育课的行为。Tsinghua University sets a good example: no academic classes after 5 p.m., a "Sunshine Sports" program requiring 24 outdoor sessions for first three-year students, and a mandatory 50-meter swimming test for graduation (with exceptions for health conditions), showing the spirit of "No Sports, No Tsinghua". 清华大学树立了榜样：下午 5 点后不安排学术课程，推行 “阳光体育” 项目，要求前三年学生完成至少 24 次户外锻炼，同时将 50 米游泳测试作为毕业要求（特殊健康状况除外），彰显了 “无体育，不清华” 的精神。Health is the foundation of study and dreams. This term, let’s take health seriously and keep exercising to build strong bodies and wills. 健康是学习与梦想的基石。这个学期，让我们重视健康，坚持锻炼，强健体魄、磨砺意志。【长难句分析】1.原句：To act on this policy, schools must provide enough PE classes and ensure at least two hours of daily physical activity, strictly banning the takeover of PE lessons. 译文：为落实这一政策，学校必须开设充足的体育课，确保学生每天至少两小时体育活动，并严格禁止挤占体育课的行为。难点：To act on this policy,这里是动词不定时作目的状语。原句：Tsinghua University sets a good example: no academic classes after 5 p.m., a "Sunshine Sports" program requiring 24 outdoor sessions for first three-year students, and a mandatory 50-meter swimming test for graduation (with exceptions for health conditions), showing the spirit of "No Sports, No Tsinghua". 译文：清华大学树立了榜样：下午 5 点后不安排学术课程，推行 “阳光体育” 项目，要求前三年学生完成至少 24 次户外锻炼，同时将 50 米游泳测试作为毕业要求（特殊健康状况除外），彰显了 “无体育，不清华” 的精神。难点：showing the spirit of "No Sports, No Tsinghua"，这里showing是现在分词作状语。【重难词汇梳理】priority 优先 ensure 确保takeover 占用 strictly 严格地academic 学术的 exception 除外foundation 基石 will 意志实战演练Passage1China is a nation of etiquette (礼仪). Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they will be surprised at the warm welcome.When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve (提供) you snacks and fruits. Someone in the family will also chat with you, never letting you feel lonely.At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat (招待) their guests with a big meal. They always present more food than the guest can eat. On the table, the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the most surprising things for western guests is that the Chinese host likes to pick up food for visitors. This won’t happen at western tables. Chinese families go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you finish eating, the host usually says, “It seems that you didn’t eat much. Please have more.” Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl.Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. As Confucius said thousands of years ago: How happy we are, to meet friends from far away!1．In a Chinese family, the host usually offers guests ________.A．juice and candyB．juice and cakesC．tea and fruitsD．milk and tea2．What’s the meaning of the words by Confucius at the end of the text?A．学而时习之，不亦说乎？ B．有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？C．人不知而不愠，不亦君子乎？ D．己所不欲，勿施于人。3．What’s the structure of the passage?A． B．C．D．4．What is the text mainly about?A．Where Chinese people usually go.B．How Chinese people treat the guests.C．What food Chinese people like to eat.D．Why Chinese people invite the guests to their house. Passage2Table manners are how to behave when you eat a meal. They include how to handle knives, forks and spoons and how to eat in a polite manner. To behave well abroad, you are to know some table manners.EATING MANNERSJapan: It is “perfectly” okay to slurp (发出啧啧的声音) when you eat noodles. Unlike making big noises, slurping slightly is not rude. Japanese also say it tastes better if you slurp.Russia: Your wrists should be placed on the edge of the table while eating, fork in the left hand, and knife in the right. It is not good manners to rest them on your lap. Keep your elbows off the table. Leave some food on your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat.France: Never discuss money or religion over dinner. What is different from the manners in Russia is that finishing everything on your plate is considered good manners.Mexico: Whenever you catch the eye of someone who’s eating, even a stranger, it’s good manners to say “provecho”, which means enjoy. In Mexico, dining is more than a meal. It’s a social occasion—Lunches are seldom quick and suppers can last for hours. Where you sit matters in the country. You must say “enjoy your meal” before you leave the table.DRINKING MANNERSAmerica: If you empty a bottle into someone’s glass, it obliges that person to buy the next bottle. It’s polite to put the last drops into your own glass.Australia: In a pub it’s usual to buy a round of drinks for everyone in your group. When it’s your turn, say “It’s my round”. When it’s their round, they will buy it for you. Don’t leave before you’ve bought a round.Japan: Don’t fill your own glass with alcohol. Instead, you should pour for others and wait for them to do it for you.1．How many countries are mentioned in the article?A．Six.B．Seven.C．Eight.D．Nine.2．When you are at table in Mexico, you should _________ .A．keep silent if you catch the eye of a strangerB．eat as quickly as you can to save your timeC．wish others happy with eating before leaving the tableD．seat yourself anywhere before the host tells you to3．According to the passage, it is good manners to _________ .A．keep quiet when eating noodles in JapanB．leave some food on your plate in FranceC．put the fork in the right hand in RussiaD．take turns to treat each other in Australia4．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Eating Manners B．Drinking MannersC．Table MannersD．Country Manners5．The writer tells us about the table manners in many countries in order to_________ .A．attract us to these countries to enjoy foreign foodB．help us behave in a polite manner in different countriesC．teach us how to handle knives, forks and spoonsD．make us be able to express thanks to different hostsPassage3The sun hung low and the air was filled with voices and cameras.

His fear turned into something else strength. “It’s my business. It’s everyone’s business. We can’t just destroy what we don’t see. Progress should not come at the cost of wonder,” he said.His hands stopped shaking. People in the crowd began talking in a low voice. One mother held her child’s hand. A teacher nodded in agreement.

He was born in Qufu, capital of the state of Lu. He acted as an official (官员) there. But he was perhaps a better thinker than he was an official, and he ended up having to leave the state of Lu. He spent 13 years travelling around the other states, spreading his ideas. In his last few years, he returned to Qufu where he spent the rest of his life teaching. His teachings were recorded by his followers in a book called Lunyu. Confucius’ teachings formed the base (基础) of Chinese thought. Confucius thought everyone should develop virtues (美德) and always do the right thing. Confucius’ thought is considered to have been the necessity of Eastern thought. To help people understand how to behave towards others, he taught five virtues accepted by all Chinese. They are ren (kindness, charity), yi (fairness), li (ceremony, tradition), zhi (knowledge), and xin (trust). Another virtue is xiao. Xiao is the duties a person has to their parents. It means loving, respecting, obeying (服从), and taking care of one’s parents in their old age. Xiao forms the base of a peaceful society. And he is the final goal according to his thought. It means social peace. It is clear that Confucius’ thought will continue to be a necessary part of Chinese culture. And it will continue to do something good to the development of China and even the whole world. 模块语篇题型体裁词数内容简介时文阅读Passage1阅读理解记叙文112本文介绍国际妇女节的起源及庆祝方式。Passage2阅读理解说明文147“健康第一” 理念再次成为教育工作的重中之重，这背后是政策指引与现实需求的双重驱动。实战演练Passage1阅读理解说明文227本文介绍了中国作为礼仪之邦，在家庭待客方面的传统习俗，包括待客的具体做法、餐桌礼仪以及热情好客的文化内涵。Passage2阅读理解说明文321本文介绍了多个国家的餐桌礼仪和饮酒礼仪，帮助读者在不同国家礼貌用餐。Passage3阅读理解记叙文326本文讲述了Roy在煎饼屋奠基仪式上，勇敢站出来保护猫头鹰的居住地，强调了为自然发声的重要性。Passage4完形填空记叙文242本文主要介绍了安徽桐城“六尺巷”的由来，讲述了张英以和为贵化解邻里纠纷的故事，以及这个故事对当地和谐氛围的影响。Passage5完形填空说明文221本文主要介绍了中国饮食文化中的餐桌礼仪，包括座次安排、问候方式以及用餐习惯等。Passage6任务型阅读记叙文257本文主要介绍了中国古代伟大的思想家和教育家孔子的生平、思想及其对中国乃至世界的影响。Confucius’ Life and Thought 1 * working as an official* travelling around to spread his ideas* 2 in QufuAchievements* the book called Lunyu* the base of Chinese thought*a necessary part of 3 thought and Chinese culture* a help for the development of China and the worldMain thought* developing virtues* doing the right thing* building a(n) 4 society (he)Virtues* ren: kindness, charity* yi: fairness* li: ceremony, tradition* zhi: knowledge* xin: trust* xiao: to love, respect, obey and take care of parentsIt is well known that 5 is one of the virtues and people who believe in it will love everyone in the world
