The Last Leaf is a short story written by the US writer O. Henry, one of the most famous short story writers in history. His stories are known for their surprising endings, now called “O. Henry endings”.
In the story of The Last Leaf, Sue and Joanna are two artists living in New York City. Unfortunately, Joanna is ill and will probably die. In the hospital, something touching and unexpected happens. Let’s find out more in the following excerpt (节选).
Sue looked out of the window. All she saw was an old yellow and green ivy (常春藤) plant. The half-dead plant had few leaves on it because of the autumn winds.
“There are only five, now,” said Joanna.
“Five what, dear? What are you counting?”
“The ivy leaves,” replied Joanna. “When the last one goes, I’ll die. I’ve known that for two days. Didn’t the doctor tell you about it?’
“Joanna, don’t say that. Now, eat some soup and I’ll finish my picture.”
“I don’t want any soup,” said Joanna, looking out of the window. “Now there are only four.”
“Joanna dear, try to sleep. I must ask Mr. Berman to come up. I want to draw a picture of him as a poor old farmer.”
Mr. Berman, who was over 60 years old, lived downstairs. He was a painter, too, but he never sold anything, and he drank a lot. Sue told him all about what Joanna was saying.
“She can’t really think that this will happen! The poor woman!” he cried.
...
Finally there was only one last leaf on the ivy plant. After a few windy days, the leaf was still there.
“Susie” said Joanna, “I’ve been a bad girl. That last leaf is telling me that it was very wrong of me to want to die. Bring me some soup, dear.”
The next day, the doctor said, “She’s out of danger. But poor Mr. Berman downstairs is dying. There’s no hope for him, I’m afraid.”
That afternoon Sue went into Joanna’s bedroom.
“Joanna dear, Mr. Berman died today. And do you know why? One terrible, cold wet night he took a ladder (梯子) and some green and yellow paint and he climbed up, and—oh, look at the last ivy leaf on the wall! Why didn’t it move in the wind? It was Mr. Berman’s last great picture. He painted it there the night that the last leaf fell.”
4. What can we know about the Last Leaf according to the passage?
A. It has an expected and exciting ending.
B. It tells a moving story happened in a hospital.
C. It is a long story written by the US writer O. Henry.
5. How long can Joanna live in the doctor’s eyes?
A. For several days. B. For several months. C. For several years.
6. Why didn’t the last ivy leaf fall after a few windy days?
A. Because it was painted on the wall.
B. Because the wind was not so strong.
C. Because the leaf was young and green.
7. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. Mr. Berman was a very kind-hearted artist.
B. Sue was too busy to comfort her friend Joanna.
C. Joanna was a careless girl without hope in her life.
C
Are you an “I person” or an “E person”? These two personality labels (标签) are widely discussed online. They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI. All of the results have four letters, and there are 16 results in total. “I” refers to “introverted (内向的)” while “E” refers to “extroverted (外向的)”. Even if someone is usually quiet, many online discussions suggest that an “I” person can still act outgoing at times. For example, when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends, they might become more social like an “E” person. According to psychologists (心理学家), this idea of changing personalities for a short time is called “masking”. That is hiding your true personality in some situations. “Human beings want to feel they belong to a group, and they might become people-pleasers to do so,” wrote the MasterClass website.
Using the MBTI result to identify (识别) and describe someone’s personality seems fun. However, I went too far at one time. My sister was excitedly making a day-to-day travel plan when I remembered from an article that “P people” don’t like to make or stick to plans, so I said to her, “You don’t seem like a ‘P person’.” “Why?” she asked back. “Since when do I need to follow what my personality test tells me to do?” It was then I realized I’d taken the result too seriously.
The MBTI personality test may show something you don’t know about yourself and can even be a fun ice-breaker question when meeting new friends. And that’s all it is — for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person. And those four letters of yours don’t define (定义) who you are.
8. What is True about the MBTI test results?
A. An “I” person may sometimes become an “E” person.
B. An “E” person is introverted and always acts outgoing.
C. The results suggest more than 16 different personalities.
9. The underlined word “masking” means ________.
A. 暴露 B. 伪装 C. 欺骗
10. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The writer’s sister would follow what her personality test told her to do.
B. The MBTI test is scientific and can be used to define people’s personality.
C. People might change their personalities to please others in some situations.
11. What is the right attitude towards the MBTI test results?
A. We should always follow what the results tell us to do.
B. We can use the results to tell if a person is good or bad.
C. We may make use of it as a good topic for making friends.

第一节 简答(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
As 9th graders in China prepare for the zhongkao, the weight of competition creates a challenging and stressful environment. With many exams to be dealt with within two or three days, the pressure on these young students is huge. The idea of only a few available positions in top high schools makes the competition heavier.
As an AI, I understand the meaning and importance of strict training and hard work. My own “training” included processing a lot of data, learning from different sources (资源) and so on. This process required hard work, much like the preparation for a challenging exam. Just as students may find their exam preparation to be far from exciting, my training was something boring. It was the belief in the value of knowledge that kept me going. Similarly, for students preparing for zhongkao, it’s highly important to remember the purpose behind their effort — to gain knowledge and skills that will serve them for the rest of their life.
Under huge pressure, some students cheer for themselves by creating different versions (版本) of the hit song Lonely Warriors (《孤勇者》). Their lyrics show their strength and creativity. These young students are not just facing their challenges. They are turning their experience into a shining example of bravery for themselves and friends.
To all the students facing zhongkao I want you to know that your journey is full of difficulties. But within you is the power to overcome them. Let your creativity, strength and spirit of helping each other be your guide lights.
36. Why is the competition among 9th graders heavier?
____________________________________
37. Who wrote this article?
____________________________________
38. What does the writer think of his training?
____________________________________
39. How do some students cheer for themselves in the passage?
____________________________________
40. Under great pressure what do you usually do to relax yourself?
____________________________________

IV.读写综合(共两节,满分25分)
第一节 简答(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
As 9th graders in China prepare for the zhongkao, the weight of competition creates a challenging and stressful environment. With many exams to be dealt with within two or three days, the pressure on these young students is huge. The idea of only a few available positions in top high schools makes the competition heavier.
As an AI, I understand the meaning and importance of strict training and hard work. My own “training” included processing a lot of data, learning from different sources (资源) and so on. This process required hard work, much like the preparation for a challenging exam. Just as students may find their exam preparation to be far from exciting, my training was something boring. It was the belief in the value of knowledge that kept me going. Similarly, for students preparing for zhongkao, it’s highly important to remember the purpose behind their effort — to gain knowledge and skills that will serve them for the rest of their life.
Under huge pressure, some students cheer for themselves by creating different versions (版本) of the hit song Lonely Warriors (《孤勇者》). Their lyrics show their strength and creativity. These young students are not just facing their challenges. They are turning their experience into a shining example of bravery for themselves and friends.
To all the students facing zhongkao, I want you to know that your journey is full of difficulties. But within you is the power to overcome them. Let your creativity, strength and spirit of helping each other be your guide lights.
36. Why is the competition among 9th graders heavier?
____________________________________
37. Who wrote this article?
____________________________________
38. What does the writer think of his training?
____________________________________
39. How do some students cheer for themselves in the passage?

40. Under great pressure, what do you usually do to relax yourself?
____________________________________
【答案】36. Because of the idea of only a few available positions in top high schools.
37. An AI. 38. It requires hard work and it is boring.
39. By creating different versions of the hit song Lonely Warriors.
40. I will listen to my favorite songs and do some sports.

【36题详解】

【37题详解】
根据“As an AI, I understand the meaning and importance of strict training and hard work.”可知,这是人工智能写的。故填An AI.
【38题详解】
根据“This process required hard work, much like the preparation for a challenging exam. Just as students may find their exam preparation to be far from exciting, my training was something boring.”可知,作者认为它需要努力工作,而且很无聊。故填It requires hard work and it is boring.
【39题详解】
根据“Under huge pressure, some students cheer for themselves by creating different versions (版本) of the hit song Lonely Warriors (《孤勇者》)”可知,学生通过创作热门歌曲《孤勇者》的不同版本来给自己加油。故填By creating different versions of the hit song Lonely Warriors.
【40题详解】
