牛津上海（本地版）五四制初中英语六年级上册期中拓展提高卷（含小段音频）
One day, a man dreamed that he came to a two-floor house. As he went into the first floor, he saw a long table. Many people were sitting on both sides of the table and there were different kinds of delicious food on it, but they couldn't eat anything. They were cursed(被诅咒), so they couldn't bend their arms or lower their heads. They just sat there sadly and painfully(痛苦地).
Suddenly, the man heard some sounds of laughter from the second floor. He went upstairs and found there was another room full of people just like the first one. People here couldn't bend their arms or lower their heads, either. But they were enjoying themselves and eating happily.
How could they do that? Each person was helping the person in front of him to eat. They were helping each other to eat!

In China, students often have an autumn picnic held by their school. Usually, they will go to an amusement(娱乐) park or to places that are close to nature.
What kinds of autumn activities are there for children in other countries?
Japanese students often go hiking. It is a perfect way to get exercise while enjoying the scenes(景色). Mountain climbing in such nice weather is also a good choice(选择).
Children in the USA like to go for bike rides in autumn. Take a mountain bike ride and you can explore new trails (探索新路). Playing in a leaf pile is popular, too. Kids jump into the leaf pile to see the colorful leaves fly all around. They also make leaf rain and leaf beds — all a lot of fun.

Water is a liquid (液体) ; but it can also be a solid when it is very cold and turns to ice. It can also be a gas, when it evaporates (蒸发) and become water vapour (水蒸气) .
The water cycle
Water is very important, and without it life on Earth would be impossible. The oceans that cover three quarters of the Earth's surface can be thought of as our great water reservoirs. All the time, water is being evaporated from the ocean's surface by the warmth of the sun. High in the sky this water vapour, turns into clouds which drift (漂浮) over the land, often creating rainfall. As the rain falls,it seeps (渗漏) into the soil and then into rivers that flow back into the oceans, where it is ready to begin all over again!

| Yes! Mo's short stories are good for students. Students' textbooks should include the most reason not to choose some for the students' textbooks. Since Mo Yan won a Nobel Prize, many Chinese people have been proud of him. His works can affect young people positive(积极地) in literature. So his works should be used. |
| No! Many of Mo's works like Red Sorgham(红高粱) can be better understood by adults. Even though Mo Yan has won a Nobel Prize, his works may not be understood well by middle and high school students. Any decision to change the content(内容) of textbooks should be made very carefully. It is premature(草率的) to announce the plan of including Mo's works so quickly. |
