For Miss Patty, a school bus driver in Erie County, her hobby of knitting (编织) has made her really touch the community. Miss Patty always wanted to do something with her spare time to help the students. After a conversation with one of the students, things took a turn from knitting one hat to knitting more hats. “The one boy gets on the bus, and he goes ‘what are you doing?’ I said, ‘I’m making a hat. He said, ‘That would be great having such a warm hat in icy winter.’ So I said, ‘What color would you like?’ That started everything,” Miss Patty told the local newspaper. Several years have passed since that day, and Miss Patty has already knitted 7, 083 hats for students in her spare time. Sometimes she will get the student’s favorite color before she begins the project. What is more moving is that Miss Patty buys all the materials (材料) using her own money. Some people do give her gift cards around the holidays to help, but she still puts out a lot of her own money.

Soon, she appeared, holding a bright blue glass bottle. It was passed to another, then into the boat. On a fine Sunday morning in May, a team of 10 women over 65 years old, known as the Old Women Against Underwater Rubbish (OWAUR), looked for rubbish across Nova Pond in Scotia. When the team returned, they joked about the trip. “We didn’t even know what it was,” one swimmer said with a laugh, showing an electronic lighter they had found. “We had to ask a young person.” Part protection organization, part social club, OWAUR only accepted old women as its members. To improve the conditions of the ponds, the group made it its mission to take rubbish away from them. The idea of this group was from a moment of Sandy, a retired (退休的) reporter. As a lifelong nature lover, she liked swimming in ponds. However, the world of the pond, which was a little polluted, made her anxious. Then she came up with a slogan (标语): “OVER 65, IF YOU’RE HEALTHY ENOUGH, IS THE AGE OF ACTION.” Soon many people joined her. They found a sense of wonder at the pond cleanup moments. And their team could do a lot more than people might think. When many people thanked OWAUR for what they had done, some questioned why they called themselves “old women”. “You should call yourselves the Mermaids (美人鱼) Against Underwater Rubbish,” they said. 29．What does “another” in paragraph 1 refer to?

It was passed to another, then into the boat.”可知她出现了，手里拿着一个亮蓝色的玻璃瓶，它被传给了另一个人，然后又上了船，故此处another指代“游泳者”。故选B。 30．词义猜测题。根据“To improve the conditions of the ponds, the group made it its mission to take rubbish away from them”可知该组织将清除池塘中的垃圾作为自己的使命，故此处划线部分指代“重要的任务”。故选A。 31．推理判断题。根据“They found a sense of wonder at the pond cleanup moments. And their team could do a lot more than people might think”可知她们在清理池塘的时刻感到惊奇，她们的团队可以做比人们想象的多得多的事情，所以这个组织发现了兴趣并做得很好。故选A。 32．推理判断题。根据“some questioned why they called themselves ‘old women’. ‘You should call yourselves the Mermaids (美人鱼) Against Underwater Rubbish,’”可知一些人质疑她们为什么称自己为“老妇人”，认为她们应该称自己为反对水下垃圾的美人鱼，可推知他们认为这些老妇人可以被认为是年轻美丽的反对水下垃圾的美人鱼。故选D。 33．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了一个由10名65岁以上的女性组成的团队，被称为“反对水下垃圾的老妇人”，该组织将清除池塘中的垃圾作为自己的使命，以选项C“入水时刻”为标题最合适。故选C。 （2024·江苏苏州·中考真题） Auggie’s Story Sleep I’d been reading for over an hour and sleep still didn’t come. It was almost two a. m. Everyone else was asleep. I had my flashlight (手电筒) on under the sleeping bag. Maybe the light was why I couldn’t sleep, but I was too afraid to turn it off. What had happened kept coming back to my mind. When we got back to the camp, no one noticed we’d been gone. The teachers and all the other kids were still watching the movie. They didn’t know how something bad had just happened to me and Jack. It’s so strange how that can be, how you could have a night that’s the worst in your life, but to everybody else it’s just a usual night. Amos, Miles and Henry brought us back to our seats. Then they returned to their own seats. In a way, everything was exactly as we had left it. The sky was the same. The movie was the same. Everyone’s faces were the same. Mine was the same. But something was different. Something had changed. Home “So, do you want to hear about the bad part or the good part first?” I asked Mum. “Whatever you want to talk about,” she answered. “Well, except for last night, I had a fantastic time,” I said. “I feel like they ruined (毁坏) the whole trip for me.” “No, sweetie. Don’t let them do that to you. You were there for more than forty-eight hours, and that awful part lasted one hour. Don’t let them take that away from you, okay?” “I know.” I nodded. “But do I always have to worry about bad guys like that? Like when I grow up, is it always going to be like this?” “There are always going to be bad guys in the world, Auggie,” she said, looking at me. “But I really believe there are more good people on this earth than bad people, and the good people watch out for each other and take care of each other. Just like Jack was there for you. And Amos. And those other kids.” “Oh yeah, Miles and Henry,” I answered. “They were amazing, too. It’s very strange because Miles and Henry haven’t even really been very nice to me at all during the year.” “Sometimes people surprise us,” she said, rubbing the top of my head. 34．Why couldn’t Auggie fall asleep? A．He kept thinking about something. B．He was doing bedtime reading. C．He was looking for his flashlight. D．He didn’t like his sleeping bag. 35．According to the first part, what was different at the camp? A．The sky. B．Auggie’s face. C．The movie. D．Auggie’s feeling. 36．Auggie was worried that ______.

The 72-year-old has competed in every triathlon in the event’s 40-year history. He was part of the group that came up with the idea in the 1980s. “I used to jog around town,” Mr. O’Neill said. “I came into contact with an Olympian, David Power, and Dave had a hotel up here. A few of us got together and we discussed it and got it going in October, 1983.” The then 31-year-old suggested one of the group should compete. “Everyone else could either ride a bike or run, but I was the only one who could swim,” he laughed. “But I was happy to give it a go.” In the beginning, more than 220 athletes took part in the event, including 79 individual competitors and 48 teams. These days it’s a five-day festival—which includes 11 events in all—with more than 13,000 competitors. Rebecca van Pooss, head of operations for the triathlon there, said the event Mr. O’Neill helped to start was now an international event. “It is the world’s largest Olympic-distance triathlon,” she said. “That’s something we’re very proud of.” “Mr. O’ Neill’s efforts were inspiring. There are a couple of other athletes who have done 38, 39,” she said. “But Peter, he is the legend (传奇)—it’s pretty amazing to have someone who’s done all 40 of our races.” Mr. O’Neill trains year-round for the event, and enjoys the social side just as much as the physical benefits. “I’ve made so many friends… friends that I ride with and friends I swim with—it’s been wonderful,” he said. “When you’re in your 70s like I am, you’re quite happy to just do it because you know it beats the alternative (替代品), which is sitting around doing nothing.” 132．What do the underlined words “give it a go” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Try doing it. B．Cooperate with others. C．Organize the game. D．Go to a friend’s home. 133．What can we infer from Rebecca’s words? A．The athletes are mostly in their 30s.

C．He helps many people in his hometown to find jobs. D．He has won many gold medals at the Olympic Games. 135．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A．Fashion and Style.

There are a couple of other athletes who have done 38, 39”及“But Peter, he is the legend (传奇)—it’s pretty amazing to have someone who’s done all 40 of our races.”可知，Peter O’Neill的努力是鼓舞人心的，有其他的运动员也完成了38、39次比赛，但Peter是传奇，他完成了所有的40场比赛。这说明参加并坚持这个比赛是非常困难的。故选D。 134．细节理解题。根据“But Peter, he is the legend (传奇)”及“When you’re in your 70s like I am, you’re quite happy to just do it because you know it beats the alternative (替代品), which is sitting around doing nothing.”可知，Peter O’Neill通过参加铁人三项运动，打破了“无所事事”的生活，成为了一位传奇人物。故选B。 135．推理判断题。文章主要讲述了Peter O’Neill参加铁人三项运动的故事，这是一项体育活动，所以这篇文章可能出现在报纸的“体育和健身”版块。故选D。 （2024·吉林·中考真题） When I was a little boy, I lived next to David.

Soon, she appeared, holding a bright blue glass bottle. It was passed to another, then into the boat. On a fine Sunday morning in May, a team of 10 women over 65 years old, known as the Old Women Against Underwater Rubbish (OWAUR), looked for rubbish across Nova Pond in Scotia. When the team returned, they joked about the trip. “We didn’t even know what it was,” one swimmer said with a laugh, showing an electronic lighter they had found. “We had to ask a young person.” Part protection organization, part social club, OWAUR only accepted old women as its members. To improve the conditions of the ponds, the group made it its mission to take rubbish away from them. The idea of this group was from a moment of Sandy, a retired (退休的) reporter. As a lifelong nature lover, she liked swimming in ponds. However, the world of the pond, which was a little polluted, made her anxious. Then she came up with a slogan (标语): “OVER 65, IF YOU’RE HEALTHY ENOUGH, IS THE AGE OF ACTION.” Soon many people joined her. They found a sense of wonder at the pond cleanup moments. And their team could do a lot more than people might think. When many people thanked OWAUR for what they had done, some questioned why they called themselves “old women”. “You should call yourselves the Mermaids (美人鱼) Against Underwater Rubbish,” they said. 29．What does “another” in paragraph 1 refer to?

Everyone else was asleep. I had my flashlight (手电筒) on under the sleeping bag. Maybe the light was why I couldn’t sleep, but I was too afraid to turn it off. What had happened kept coming back to my mind. When we got back to the camp, no one noticed we’d been gone. The teachers and all the other kids were still watching the movie. They didn’t know how something bad had just happened to me and Jack. It’s so strange how that can be, how you could have a night that’s the worst in your life, but to everybody else it’s just a usual night. Amos, Miles and Henry brought us back to our seats. Then they returned to their own seats. In a way, everything was exactly as we had left it. The sky was the same. The movie was the same. Everyone’s faces were the same. Mine was the same. But something was different. Something had changed. Home “So, do you want to hear about the bad part or the good part first?” I asked Mum. “Whatever you want to talk about,” she answered. “Well, except for last night, I had a fantastic time,” I said. “I feel like they ruined (毁坏) the whole trip for me.” “No, sweetie. Don’t let them do that to you. You were there for more than forty-eight hours, and that awful part lasted one hour. Don’t let them take that away from you, okay?” “I know.” I nodded. “But do I always have to worry about bad guys like that? Like when I grow up, is it always going to be like this?” “There are always going to be bad guys in the world, Auggie,” she said, looking at me. “But I really believe there are more good people on this earth than bad people, and the good people watch out for each other and take care of each other. Just like Jack was there for you. And Amos. And those other kids.” “Oh yeah, Miles and Henry,” I answered. “They were amazing, too. It’s very strange because Miles and Henry haven’t even really been very nice to me at all during the year.” “Sometimes people surprise us,” she said, rubbing the top of my head. 34．Why couldn’t Auggie fall asleep? A．He kept thinking about something. B．He was doing bedtime reading. C．He was looking for his flashlight.

Her father came into the kitchen and said, “Mom wants you to clean your room. It looks as if a hurricane passed through it.” Joe, Vicky’s little brother, asked, “A hurricane? Is that a bad thing?” “Sure it is,” said his father. “I’ll do it after school, Dad,” said Vicky. “My first class is geography and Mr. Miller hates people to be late.” And off she ran through the front door. Twenty minutes later, Vicky ran into her classroom. “Today,” said Mr. Miller, “we’re going to learn about hurricanes.

She put all of her things in their proper places. “Mom,” she called. “Can you come here for a minute?” Vicky’s mother put her head around the door. “Vicky!” she said. “That looks fantastic!

The 72-year-old has competed in every triathlon in the event’s 40-year history. He was part of the group that came up with the idea in the 1980s. “I used to jog around town,” Mr. O’Neill said. “I came into contact with an Olympian, David Power, and Dave had a hotel up here. A few of us got together and we discussed it and got it going in October, 1983.” The then 31-year-old suggested one of the group should compete. “Everyone else could either ride a bike or run, but I was the only one who could swim,” he laughed. “But I was happy to give it a go.” In the beginning, more than 220 athletes took part in the event, including 79 individual competitors and 48 teams. These days it’s a five-day festival—which includes 11 events in all—with more than 13,000 competitors. Rebecca van Pooss, head of operations for the triathlon there, said the event Mr. O’Neill helped to start was now an international event. “It is the world’s largest Olympic-distance triathlon,” she said. “That’s something we’re very proud of.” “Mr. O’ Neill’s efforts were inspiring. There are a couple of other athletes who have done 38, 39,” she said. “But Peter, he is the legend (传奇)—it’s pretty amazing to have someone who’s done all 40 of our races.” Mr. O’Neill trains year-round for the event, and enjoys the social side just as much as the physical benefits. “I’ve made so many friends… friends that I ride with and friends I swim with—it’s been wonderful,” he said. “When you’re in your 70s like I am, you’re quite happy to just do it because you know it beats the alternative (替代品), which is sitting around doing nothing.” 132．What do the underlined words “give it a go” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

I’m famous for my poems, but looking back on my fall and exciting life, I’d say friendship has been just as important as poetry. One of my friends is He Zhizhang who is forty-two years older than me. Once we were having such an interesting conversation that we decided to continue it over dinner. After finishing the meal, we realized that neither of us had brought any money.

Or maybe there is a famous cartoon from another country you like to watch in Chinese? But how do you change the language to Chinese? This is something called dubbing (配音). To dub means adding sounds or words in a new language to a movie, radio or TV show. Dubbing is usually done to make it easier for people in another country to understand a movie or a show. For me, I’ve had experience dubbing TV shows and cartoons from Chinese into English. I’ve done dubbing for many kinds of shows, such as love stories, kung fu movies, documentaries (纪录片) and more. However, my favourite ones to dub are cartoons. That’s because with cartoons I can use many different kinds of voices, such as high ones for good guys and low ones for bad guys. Two of my favourite cartoons that I’ve dubbed were called A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix (《百鸟朝凤》) and The Foolish Old Man Who Removes the Mountains (《愚公移山》). In the first cartoon, I got to play a silly and very proud but well-meaning blackbird. In the second cartoon, I played both the main hero named Qingfeng and the main bad guy named Mountain Spirit Zheng. The hardest part was not reading the written words. But it was acting out (将……演出来) the voices while matching the actions at the same time. Still, it was really fun voicing all of these different roles! If you enjoy making different voices, then I highly suggest that you try dubbing at least once. 157．Why do people dub foreign movies? A．To show their foreign language skill. B．To increase the movies’ ticket prices. C．To make the movies easy to understand. D．To add their own opinions in the movies. 158．What is the writer’s favourite type of dubbing? A．Love stories. B．Kung fu movies. C．Documentaries. D．Cartoons. 159．The underlined word “guys” in paragraph 2 means ______ in the text. A．roles B．voices C．stories D．lifestyles 160．What did the writer dub in A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix? A．A child. B．A bird. C．A mountain spirit. D．An old man. 161．What was the hardest part for the writer in dubbing the second cartoon? A．Dubbing the voice of a blackbird. B．Writing the words for the movies. C．Reading aloud behind the screen. D．Matching voices and actions well. （2024·四川乐山·中考真题） Harry and Annie lived a mile from town, but they walked there to school every day.

Growing up in the countryside, Wangari was deeply connected to the land from an early age. This early experience with the environment later inspired her life’s work, which has left an unforgettable mark on the world. With the help of a program, Wangari received her university education in the United States. After graduation, she returned to Kenya. In 1971, she got a doctor’s degree from the University of Nairobi, becoming the first woman doctor in East and Central Africa. But her greater achievement was outside the university. In 1977, Wangari set up the Green Belt Movement, an organization focused on tree planting, environmental protection, and women’s rights. She called on Kenyan women to plant trees in their hometown. This simple act not only helped to protect the environment but also made women powerful economically (经济地) and socially. Wangari focused not only on environmental problems. She made great efforts to fight for democracy (民主), human rights, and social fairness. Her activism (激进主义) often put her in disagreement with the Kenyan government. As a result, she was put in prison (监狱) several times, but she kept fighting bravely. It was because of her tireless work that she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. She became the first African woman to receive the award. Wangari passed away on September 25, 2011, but her spirit continues to inspire a worldwide movement towards environmental protection and social fairness.

Since then, the China-Rwanda Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Treatment Center has increased in popularity. According to An, the center now receives an average of more than 30 people daily, with most of them suffering from lower back pain or knee and ankle joint (踝关节) pain. Rwanda is known as the land of a thousand hills. Locals often have to walk on mountain roads year-round, which can lead to joint stress. “TCM has great advantages in treating these diseases, and the effects are very good.” An said. “The center now provides most kinds of TCM treatments, allowing local people to experience Eastern medicine.” Naomin, a 60-year-old patient, is amazed by TCM. She was unable to walk due to serious pain in both knees and ankles. But after a month of treatment at the center, she is now able to walk around with a walking stick. “The treatment has been a huge help,” she said. Another patient, Mukagatare, said that his back pain disappeared after three TCM treatments. According to him, doctors at the local hospitals had been unable to make a clear diagnosis (诊断) after many examinations, let alone reduce the pain. Besides treating patients, the center also educates locals about TCM and Chinese culture. Up to now, TCM has spread to nearly 200 countries and areas, with its worldwide influence continuously growing. “From treating a common cold to chronic (慢性的) and difficult diseases.

She’s so happy, and the dog is happy, too! “I want to call him Eco,” says Holly. “Come here, Eco!” And Eco wags (摇摆) his tail. “That dog is your responsibility (责任), Holly,” says her father. “No problem!” Holly agrees. Before school, Holly takes Eco for his first morning walk. She feels very tired. It’s really cold and dark—and it’s so early! But Eco doesn’t mind. He runs, stops, runs again, sees a black cat, tries to run after it and nearly pulls Holly off her feet! Holly realizes it’s late when she gets back from the walk. She quickly eats a piece of bread, takes her bag and jacket, and runs to school. What a busy morning! But that’s not all for looking after a pet dog. When Holly takes Eco for his evening walk, it’s quite dark outside. Holly feels nervous. She runs along the road with him, but it’s difficult. Because Eco often stops to study the bushes and trees. And he often tries to catch birds, or play with sticks and fallen leaves. A few days go by. Then… It’s raining outside. Eco enters…and the trouble starts.

She realizes it’s time to train the dog. “He needs to know the rules.” Every day after school, Holly repeats simple orders to Eco. If he can do as ordered, he can get nice bones.
