Now in cinemas, it’s different from many films because there is no talking, but this doesn’t make it any less fun or moving. The cartoon movie is from Sara Varon’s 2007 graphic novel (连环画小说) of the same name, a dog is living in 1980s New York, alone. Watching TV and living on microwave meals (微波炉餐食), the dog thinks he (or she, we’re not sure) needs a friend and decides to buy a robot. The two enjoy New York together but then something happens and the two get separated. While they try and dream about getting back together, it’s impossible. Both of them have to move on with their own new lives. The film tells us that in life, things don’t always last for all the time. We change and so do the people we care about. We lose things and we lose parts of ourselves. As a result, you should learn to say goodbye. You may feel a bit sad watching it, but it’s also very beautiful, fun and full of heart. 5.

One day I caught a lucky break. At lunch, Marty was talking about how he could make things float (浮动). He had a ring (戒指) in one hand and a pencil in the other. That’s when I saw it: a thin piece of fishing line (线) was around the end of the pencil and connected to Marty’s shirt! Sure enough, he made the ring “float” by moving it over the pencil and hanging (悬挂) it from the line. No one else noticed the line, and soon the whole dining hall was cheering. When other students left, I walked over. It was time to end the Magic Marty show. “I know how you did it,” I said, looking him right in the eye. “Maybe,” Marty answered. “But the first law (法则) of magic is that.” “It was the fishing line.” Marty became silent. He looked a bit worried. Without all his confidence, he seemed worse. I suddenly felt bad. “So, do you want to break the law of magic? Are you going to say out the secret?” he asked. I thought about it for a moment. If I did, I would finally be able to tell that Marty’s magic was fake. But would that really make me feel happy? What about Marty? He might lose his new friends. How would that make him feel? “No,” I said. “It will be a secret between you and me.” Marty let out a relieved sigh (松了一口气) and I turned to walk away. “Wait!” Marty jumped in front of me. “You’ve got a pretty good eye for magic. If you’re interested, I have an idea.” That’s how the Magic Marty and Mysterious Matt Lunch Show began. 13. How did students think of Marty’s magic? A. Easy. B. Interesting. C. Boring. D. Traditional. 14. What’s the first law of magic? A. Find the secret bravely. B. Make life full of magic. C. Never tell the secret of magic. D. The magic show must be real. 15. What does the underlined word “fake” probably mean? A. 虚假的 B. 超前的 C. 真实的 D. 抄袭的 16. What can you learn from the text? A. The writer had no interest in magic. B. Marty won’t show his magic any more. C. The writer joined Marty in the magic show. D. Marty had an idea of making the new magic. 【答案】13. B 14. C 15. A 16. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者发现马蒂的魔术表演并不是真实的，但是作者为了不让马蒂失去新朋友，并没有说出这个秘密，最后作者和马蒂一起表演魔术的故事。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“No one else noticed the line, and soon the whole dining hall was cheering.”可知，表演结束后，整个餐厅都欢呼起来；据此可以推断，学生们认为马蒂的魔术很有趣。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Marty became silent. He looked a bit worried. Without all his confidence, he seemed worse. I suddenly felt bad.”和第七段“So, do you want to break the law of magic? Are you going to say out the secret?”可知，马蒂沉默了，看起来有点担心，失去了信心，担心作者把魔术的秘密说出来；据此可以推断，魔法的第一法则就是永远不要说出魔术的秘密。故选C。 【15题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“What Marty did was just a magic, but I didn’t know how he made it.”和第五段“It was the fishing line.”可知，作者之前一直怀疑马蒂的魔术表演，直到发现了鱼线之后，才发现了魔术的秘密；据此可以推断划线单词“fake”意为“虚假的”。故选A。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“You’ve got a pretty good eye for magic. If you’re interested, I have an idea.”和最后一段“That’s how the Magic Marty and Mysterious Matt Lunch Show began.”可知，神奇的马蒂和神秘的马特午餐秀就这样开始了；据此可以推断，作者并没有说出马蒂魔术表演的秘密，而是加入其中，与马蒂一起表演魔术。故选C。 第二节 阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Choosing a job isn’t always easy but important.

Now in cinemas, it’s different from many films because there is no talking, but this doesn’t make it any less fun or moving. The cartoon movie is from Sara Varon’s 2007 graphic novel (连环画小说) of the same name, a dog is living in 1980s New York, alone. Watching TV and living on microwave meals (微波炉餐食), the dog thinks he (or she, we’re not sure) needs a friend and decides to buy a robot. The two enjoy New York together but then something happens and the two get separated. While they try and dream about getting back together, it’s impossible. Both of them have to move on with their own new lives. The film tells us that in life, things don’t always last for all the time. We change and so do the people we care about. We lose things and we lose parts of ourselves. As a result, you should learn to say goodbye. You may feel a bit sad watching it, but it’s also very beautiful, fun and full of heart. 5. Why is the cartoon movie Robot Dreams different? A. It has less fun. B. It has no talking. C. It’s about robots. D. It’s from a famous novel. 6. The dog decides to buy a robot because ________. A. he feels lonely B. he likes robots C. friends leave him D. robots can make meals 7. What’s the end of the cartoon film? A. They change each other. B. They move to a new city. C. They live together happily. D. They start their own new lives. 8. Which of the following would be the best title? A. Never Change Yourself B. Try to Care about Others C. Learn to Say Goodbye D. Always Smile at the World C Nine-year-old Nicolas was a picky (挑剔的) eater. He especially didn’t like healthy foods and wouldn’t go near most fruit and vegetables. “Will he try more foods if he grows them himself?” his dad thought. So the family started a garden in their yard (院子). They planted strawberries, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes and many other fruit and vegetables. It worked! Nicolas cared for these foods and started tasting them. The boy also found that many children were eating unhealthy foods. So he came up with an idea of writing a book. His dad advised a smartphone app. Nicolas liked it and started his own. His parents helped him create a plan and many app makers joined Nicolas’s team. The free app was ready in May 2023. It shows families how to prepare healthy foods. Thousands of children and parents are now Nicolas’s fans, and newspapers and TV shows have shared his story. Nicolas tries to improve his app and add games that let children get “healthy” or “unhealthy” points for food choices. He’s also started putting “Nicolas’s Seal of Approval (正式认可)” on restaurant menus (菜单). Nicolas likes hearing that his app is very cool. But what he likes best is, “ ▲ That’s what I really wanted to do.” 9. Nicolas’s family began a garden in the yard ________.

One day I caught a lucky break. At lunch, Marty was talking about how he could make things float (浮动). He had a ring (戒指) in one hand and a pencil in the other. That’s when I saw it: a thin piece of fishing line (线) was around the end of the pencil and connected to Marty’s shirt! Sure enough, he made the ring “float” by moving it over the pencil and hanging (悬挂) it from the line. No one else noticed the line, and soon the whole dining hall was cheering. When other students left, I walked over. It was time to end the Magic Marty show. “I know how you did it,” I said, looking him right in the eye. “Maybe,” Marty answered. “But the first law (法则) of magic is that.” “It was the fishing line.” Marty became silent. He looked a bit worried. Without all his confidence, he seemed worse. I suddenly felt bad. “So, do you want to break the law of magic? Are you going to say out the secret?” he asked. I thought about it for a moment. If I did, I would finally be able to tell that Marty’s magic was fake. But would that really make me feel happy? What about Marty? He might lose his new friends. How would that make him feel? “No,” I said. “It will be a secret between you and me.” Marty let out a relieved sigh (松了一口气) and I turned to walk away. “Wait!” Marty jumped in front of me. “You’ve got a pretty good eye for magic. If you’re interested, I have an idea.” That’s how the Magic Marty and Mysterious Matt Lunch Show began. 13. How did students think of Marty’s magic? A. Easy. B. Interesting. C. Boring. D. Traditional. 14. What’s the first law of magic? A. Find the secret bravely. B. Make life full of magic. C. Never tell the secret of magic. D. The magic show must be real. 15. What does the underlined word “fake” probably mean? A. 虚假的 B. 超前的 C. 真实的 D. 抄袭的 16. What can you learn from the text? A. The writer had no interest in magic. B. Marty won’t show his magic any more. C. The writer joined Marty in the magic show. D. Marty had an idea of making the new magic. 第二节 阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Choosing a job isn’t always easy but important.

Here are some ideas of students from different schools. Li Ming, 14, Liaoning Province My mother told me a good friend is just like a mirror (镜子). I’m quieter and more serious than most children. That’s why I like reading books and I study harder in class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too, so we enjoy studying together. I’m shy so it’s not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends are like books—you don’t need a lot of them as long as they’re good. Wang Li, 15, Zhejiang Province It’s not necessary to be the same. My best friend Liu Jia is quite different from me. He is taller and more outgoing than me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins. However, Liu Jia often helps to bring out the best in me. So I’m getting better at tennis. Yang Fan, 14, Shandong Province I don’t really care if my friends are the same as me or different. My favourite saying is, “A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.” My best friend Wu Gang is really kind and very funny. In fact, he’s funnier than anyone I know. I broke my arm last year but he tried to make me laugh and feel better. We can talk about and share everything. I know he cares about me because he’s always there to listen. 41. Who thinks friends should be the same? _________________________________________ 42. How is Liu Jia different from his friend Wang Li? _________________________________________ 43.
