LEGO has already been a successful company in the world. In fact, there are many ups and downs along with its development. Start from woods (木头) The LEGO company was set up in 1934. The name comes from the Swedish “leg godt”, meaning “to play well”. Ole Kirk Kristiansen, the founder of LEGO, was a master carpenter (木匠大师), so it’s not surprising that the first LEGO toys were made of wood. They were easy, such as wooden ducks. In 1942, because of the big fire, the factory that made wooden LEGO toys was burned to the ground, which made Ole understand the disadvantages of working with wood. Success—brick by brick Soon Ole found out that plastic (塑料) was good to make toys. LEGO started making self-locking bricks in 1949. But it wasn’t until 1958, when the locking design was much improved, the sales were rising. Because of its nice shapes and endless creativity, LEGO got a huge success. Overcome difficulties In 2000, children began to spend more time playing video games. By 2003, LEGO’s sales were down by 30%, and LEGO nearly went broke. The turning point appeared in 2004 when LEGO paid more attention to its bricks again. And it’s also worked with films and televisions, like Star Wars. The Internet was used to build a LEGO group where fans show their love to LEGO collections. In 2015, it again became a name known by the world. 4. What can we learn from the numbers in Paragraph 1? A. LEGO has a long history. B. LEGO has got a huge success. C. LEGO is the best company. D. LEGO is going to have a bright future. 5. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Lego bricks. B. Plastic toys. C. Wooden ducks. D. The first LEGO toys. 6. Which of the pictures shows the right development of LEGO company? A. B. C. D. 7. What’s probably the best title of the text? A. LEGO: from small to big B. LEGO: toys and joys C. LEGO: from wooden to plastic D. LEGO: ups and downs 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了乐高的发展历程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“LEGO has already been a successful company in the world.”可知，乐高取得了巨大的成功。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据前一句“Ole Kirk Kristiansen, the founder of LEGO, was a master carpenter (木匠大师), so it’s not surprising that the first LEGO toys were made of wood.”和“They were easy, such as wooden ducks. I”可推测出，they指的是前文提到的the first LEGO toys。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The LEGO company was set up in 1934.…In 1942, because of the big fire, the factory that made wooden LEGO toys was burned to the ground, which made Ole understand the disadvantages of working with wood.”，可知，乐高公司成立于1934年，1942年制造木制乐高玩具的工厂被烧毁；第三段中“LEGO started making self-locking bricks in 1949. But it wasn’t until 1958, when the locking design was much improved, the sales were rising.”可知1958年销量开始上升；最后一段中“In 2000, children began to spend more time playing video games. By 2003, LEGO’s sales were down by 30%, and LEGO nearly went broke. The turning point appeared in 2004 when LEGO focused again on its bricks.…In 2015, it again became a name known by the world.”可知，2000年，孩子们开始花更多的时间玩电子游戏。到2003年，乐高的销售额下降了30%，乐高几乎破产。转折点出现在2004年，当时乐高再次专注于其砖块。2015年，它再次成为一个为世界所知的名字。图片C显示了乐高公司的正确发展。故选C。 【7题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文，结合第一段中“In fact, there are many ups and downs along with its development.”可知，本文主要介绍了介绍了乐高的发展起伏的历程，所以D选项“乐高：起伏”的表述最符合作文章的标题。故选D。 C Dear Mr. Rob Hunter, Hello!

I don’t know what it was, but something special about her drew me to her. She was the friendliest person I had ever known. We started as classmates, but after a few months, we were like best friends. So, I never expected her to hurt me in such a big way. ③I don’t know what made me tell Sally about my personal life. She made the matter bigger than it was, telling everyone at school. It was like someone had stabbed (刺伤) me in the back. After she gave away my secrets, everyone at school started laughing at me, looking at me whenever I passed by! I had to change a school. Sally called me many times, but I didn’t answer. My heart was broken. ④I tried hard to heal (治愈；康复) from the pain she left on my heart. After five years, my life went back to the way it was, with new friends. But one day, I met Anna, my classmate from the third grade. She told me that it was Mary who brought my secrets to light. Mary was the big mouth in our school who always wanted to stick her nose into other people’s business. ⑤I wished I could have asked Sally about this.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在学校的一段经历，并从这段经历中明白了要信任自己所爱的人，因为一个小错误可能会造成真正的伤害。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“And I couldn’t believe I would lose the friendship of the person I trusted the most.”可知，作者不敢相信自己会失去自己最信任的人的友谊，即作者从没想过她会失去她的朋友。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“She told me that it was Mary who brought my secrets to light. Mary was the big mouth in our school who always wanted to stick her nose into other people’s business.”可知，是玛丽泄露了作者的秘密，玛丽是学校的大嘴巴，总是爱管闲事，故可推测出，big mouth指的是喜欢说很多话，不会保守秘密的人。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据“I wished I could have asked Sally about this. I wished I could go back in time and make up for my mistakes”可知，作者希望她能问莎莉这件事，希望能回到过去改正她的错误，故推测作者是后悔的。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据“I wished I could have asked Sally about this.

B There are 706 billion LEGO bricks (积木) on the earth, 7 LEGO sets are sold in every second, and more than 400 million people have played with Lego bricks. LEGO has already been a successful company in the world. In fact, there are many ups and downs along with its development. Start from woods (木头) The LEGO company was set up in 1934. The name comes from the Swedish “leg godt”, meaning “to play well”. Ole Kirk Kristiansen, the founder of LEGO, was a master carpenter (木匠大师), so it’s not surprising that the first LEGO toys were made of wood. They were easy, such as wooden ducks. In 1942, because of the big fire, the factory that made wooden LEGO toys was burned to the ground, which made Ole understand the disadvantages of working with wood. Success—brick by brick Soon Ole found out that plastic (塑料) was good to make toys. LEGO started making self-locking bricks in 1949. But it wasn’t until 1958, when the locking design was much improved, the sales were rising. Because of its nice shapes and endless creativity, LEGO got a huge success. Overcome difficulties In 2000, children began to spend more time playing video games. By 2003, LEGO’s sales were down by 30%, and LEGO nearly went broke. The turning point appeared in 2004 when LEGO paid more attention to its bricks again. And it’s also worked with films and televisions, like Star Wars. The Internet was used to build a LEGO group where fans show their love to LEGO collections. In 2015, it again became a name known by the world. 4. What can we learn from the numbers in Paragraph 1? A. LEGO has a long history. B. LEGO has got a huge success. C. LEGO is the best company. D. LEGO is going to have a bright future. 5. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Lego bricks. B. Plastic toys. C. Wooden ducks. D. The first LEGO toys. 6. Which of the pictures shows the right development of LEGO company? A. B. C. D. 7. What’s probably the best title of the text? A. LEGO: from small to big B. LEGO: toys and joys C. LEGO: from wooden to plastic D. LEGO: ups and downs C Dear Mr. Rob Hunter Hello! My name is Adam. I’m 12 years old, and I live in Timmins, Ontario, Canada. I’m a huge fan of yours. It’s too bad that the Lions lost in the final game last year. I saw you crying when the game ended, and I started to cry too. How do you get over a loss like that?

Winning and losing matters, but it doesn’t matter more than things like sportsmanship, fun and teamwork. ④Thank you for the kind words.

Those thoughts will always stay with me. And I couldn’t believe I would lose the friendship of the person I trusted the most. ②Five years back, Sally was the new kid in class. I don’t know what it was, but something special about her drew me to her. She was the friendliest person I had ever known. We started as classmates, but after a few months, we were like best friends. So, I never expected her to hurt me in such a big way. ③I don’t know what made me tell Sally about my personal life. She made the matter bigger than it was, telling everyone at school.

Sally called me many times, but I didn’t answer. My heart was broken. ④I tried hard to heal (治愈；康复) from the pain she left on my heart. After five years, my life went back to the way it was, with new friends. But one day, I met Anna, my classmate from the third grade. She told me that it was Mary who brought my secrets to light. Mary was the big mouth in our school who always wanted to stick her nose into other people’s business. ⑤I wished I could have asked Sally about this.
