新素养·价值导向
建议用时：7 分钟 难度：★★★★☆
There is a tall oak tree and a small reed in a field. The oak tree is strong. He often laughs at the reed, “You are so weak! A small wind can make you bend.” The reed says nothing. He just stands quietly.

One day, a big wind comes. The wind blows hard. The oak tree stands straight. He tries to be strong and fight the wind. But the wind is too strong. The oak tree's trunk breaks. The reed bends with the wind. When the wind stops, the reed stands up again. He is still safe.

(一)阅读故事，判断句子正(T)误(F)。
()1. The oak tree is weak and short.
()2. The reed bends when the small wind comes.
()3. The oak tree breaks because he fights the big wind.
(二)根据故事内容填空，再简单计算。
1. The oak tree's breaks in the big wind.
2. The reed is but smart—he doesn't fight the wind.
3. How many kinds of plants are there in the story? (填写数字)
(三)开放问答 结合故事中“strong and weak”的对比，用 1—2 句话回答问题。
Is the reed weak? Why or why not?

(一)1. F 解析:故事明确提到“The oak tree is strong.”(橡树强壮),并非“weak and short(弱小且矮小)”。
2. F 解析:虽然橡树嘲笑芦苇时说“A small wind can make you bend.”(一阵微风就能让你弯曲),但实际上文章只描绘了强风袭来时,芦苇弯曲却没有倒下的场景,故与句子描述不一致。
3. T 解析:大风中橡树“tries to be strong and fight the wind”,最终“trunk breaks”,与句子描述一致。
(二)1. trunk 解析:故事提到“The oak tree's trunk breaks.”,故填“trunk”。
2. weak/small 解析:橡树嘲笑芦苇“so weak”,但芦苇懂得顺势而为,故填“weak”。此处填 small 亦可,表示芦苇渺小。
3. 2 解析:故事中的植物是橡树(oak tree)和芦苇(reed),共 2 种。
(三)No, he isn't. Because he can keep safe by bending with the wind.
解析:故事里橡树看似“强壮”,却因硬抗大风折断;芦苇看似“弱小”,却通过“随风弯曲”的方式在大风中保全了自己。所以要先明确“芦苇并非真的弱小”,再结合其“顺势而为、保全自身”的行为说明理由。
方法技巧
开放问答题怎么回答
阅读理解的开放性问题经常会问你的看法和态度。如:“Why do you think...?”“What can we learn from...?”。
回答开放性问题,需要结合原文信息和个人合理推断。答案根基来自原文。
第一步:圈题干关键词(如人物、事件、情感词),回原文找与关键词相关的句子(可能是细节描述、人物对话、作者观点),用横线标注。若原文无直接答案,找“间接线索”。
第二步:关联原文与问题。结合标注的原文信息,确定答题要点,避免答非所问。例如,若问题问原因(Why...),从原文找 because/so 等因果连词引导的句子,或隐含因果的描述;若问题问观点,提炼原文核心要素(如故事主角坚持不懈),再关联到生活(如“We should never give up when we face difficulties.”)。
第三步:组织语言,正确、完整地表达。回答句型要结合我们所学的语言知识,或者模仿原文的表达句式,从而避免句式错误。用简洁、准确的英语句子整合思路。具体技巧:优先用原文中的关键词;句子结构避免复杂化,可以用“主谓宾”简单句;若原文句子长,可提炼核心词改写。
最后检查:回答是否满足题目要求(比如有的题目要求给出不止一个方面描述)。基础细节不丢分(人称、时态与原文一致,单词拼写正确,句子格式正确等)。

建议用时：8 分钟 难度：★★★★☆
It's a warm Saturday morning. Ruby invites her friends Tom and Lucy to have a picnic in a city park. When they get there, they find a spot under a tall willow tree. There is some soft green grass around the tree, so they spread a blue blanket on it.
Ruby takes out a basket: there are fresh carrots (She picked them from her grandma's garden, just like the carrots she shared before.), a bowl of sweet apples, and a plate of grapes inside. Tom brings a jar of honey to dip the fruit in—there aren't any candies, but no one minds. They sit together, pass the food to each other, and talk about their favourite school games. The sun shines gently, and everyone laughs a lot.
