I still remember my first fishing trip as if it were yesterday. It was a still, sweet day of early summer. I received
the first fishing pole from my uncle's hand, and walked with him towards the 1 .
My uncle, who knew where the best hang-outs of fish were, kindly placed me at the most favorable point. I
threw out my line as I had so often seen others, and 2 eagerly for a bite. Nothing came of it. “Try again,” said
my uncle. Suddenly the bait(鱼饵) went down out of sight.“Now for it,” I thought.“Here is a fish at last.”
I made a strong pull, and brought up a tangle of weeds(一团海草). Again and again I cast out my line and drew
it back 3 . I looked at my uncle appealingly(可怜巴巴地).“Try once more,” he said.“We fishermen must have
4 . It took me a whole day until I got my first fish.”
Suddenly something pulled hard at my line, and swept off with it into deep water. Jerking it up, I saw a big fish
wriggling(扭来扭去) in the sun.“Uncle!” I cried, looking back in uncontrollable 5 , “I've got a fish!”“Not yet,”
said my uncle. As he spoke, there was a splash(泼溅声) in the water, my hook hung empty from the line. I had lost
my 6 . My patience was used up.
I sat down on the nearest stone and 7 to be comforted. Even my uncle promised that there were more fish
in the river. He refitted my bait, put the pole again in my hands, and told me to try my luck once more.
“But remember, boy,” he said, “never show off catching a fish until he is on dry ground.”
Though years have now passed, I have always been reminded of the fish that I did not catch. When I hear people
show off a job as yet undone, I call to mind that scene by the river, and the wise warning of my uncle,“It's no use to
talk too 8 about anything until it's done.”

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most
growing plants.
Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet
ripe or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience or who is new to a situation. In the
fifteenth century,a greenhorn was a young cow whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn
was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it
has today—a person who is new in a job.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb(拇指). The expression comes
from the early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow
quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long
after your plants have died. The Green Revolution(革命) is the name given some years ago to the development of
new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much more crops. The Green Revolution was the result
of hard work by scientists who had green thumbs.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a
frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William
Shakespeare in his play Othello. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he
wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or,
that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and she does not.
9.A greenhorn now refers to .
A.a young horse whose horns have not developed
B.a young cow without horns
C.a person who is new in a job
10.The meaning of the underlined word “ripe” in the second paragraph is .
A.未完成的 B.青涩的 C.成熟的
11.A person who has a green thumb is a person .
A.who is good at growing plants
B.whose thumbs are of green color
C.whose garden is greener than others
12.The writer is actually talking about .
A.colors B.language C.people
13.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.In about the 16th century, a greenhorn meant an experienced soldier.
B.The Green Revolution may have some connection with green thumbs.
C.The green-eyed monster was probably created by William Shakespeare.
Ⅲ.还原短文
Now students' English hand-writing(书写) gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your
English handwriting beautiful? 14.
Use paper with lines
When you write English words or sentences, you can use paper with lines. That will make your handwriting
straight. 15. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And make sure these capital letters(大写字母) are
written properly.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, just slow down a little. 16. If you write too quickly, it's hard for you to
stop where you should, and you may make more mistakes easily.
17.
When you hold your pencil in the correct way, writing is much better. Some kids press down really hard when
they write. That makes the handwriting bad. Try to be relaxed and don't hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing
appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.
Draw more pictures
18. While you are drawing pictures, you need to use the skills to control your pencil better. Even
though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by drawing at home.
Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you
do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs(亲笔签名), of course!
A.If not, here are four steps that really work!
B.Hold your pencil right
C.Drawing can improve your handwriting.
D.We will try to learn English well.
E.Going slower makes your handwriting clearer.
F.Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size.
Ⅳ.[2021·原创]阅读回答问题
Ever since the novel coronavirus epidemic (疫情) began, most schools across China have moved their offline
(离线) courses to online platforms. Through livestreaming (直播), many students have been able to go back to school
and learn online.
In addition, the government and several companies have made efforts to make it possible for students to study at
home.
On Feb. 17,2020, the Ministry of Education (MOE) officially launched a national cloud learning platform for
elementary and secondary schools. The cloud platform covers all major school subjects, so 180 million students can
keep learning even with schools closed. Students in rural areas with no Internet connection have their own
educational TV channel.
Online education companies have also offered help. Online education company vipJr is offering all of its
recorded classes for free online. It has also helped several schools build a platform called Air Classroom, providing
students with advanced (高级的) learning resources and question-answering services.
What can we do to improve our online studies?
·Ensure a good connection
The biggest headache about studying online is the poor quality of the Internet connection. If the quality is poor,
we couldn't hear our teacher's voice and we had to reconnect. It wasted lots of time.
·合理规划你的时间
Planning ahead and creating a study calendar is very important. You need to estimate(估计) how much time each
task will take, review your class content, ask questions and take notes, and make a to-do list for your homework.
These are all good ways to help us learn better online.
·No distractions
Online learning takes strong self-discipline(自律) and willpower(意志力). There are lots of distractions(分心)
while studying at home.
Useful free online course for teenagers
·21st Century Teens offers free live English lessons every week based on its newspaper articles.
·Zuoyebang, an online education company, offers free online classes on major subjects from 8:00 am to 5:40 pm for
students.
·Training provider New Oriental (新东方) offers online videos of major subjects for free for primary and secondary
students.
