And it is one of the cities with the longest history in China. With the development of the economy (经济), it has changed a lot in the past few years. For one thing, people took tramcars (有轨电车) to go out in the past. But now many people choose to take a subway because of its convenience (便捷). What’s more, taking a taxi becomes very popular. It has an app on the phone, and some people use it to call a taxi. It may be much cheaper. Besides, the building is different from the past. In the past, the tallest building in Nanjing was Jinling Hotel. It had 37 floors. At that time, the tallest building is Zifeng Tower. It has 78 floors. Different from the past, you can see tall buildings everywhere in Nanjing. As for the environment, in the 1980s and before, Nanjing was full of trees, people paid little attention to the importance of plants and fresh air. Plants were cut down and the air got worse. Now, to improve the living place, people take all actions to grow plants and cut down pollution. The environment is getting better now. 1．What is Nanjing like? 2．How many kinds of transportation (交通) are mentioned (提及) in Paragraph 2? 3．How do young people call a taxi? 4．Is Jinling Hotel the tallest building in Nanjing? 5．Why is the environment of Nanjing getting better now? （23-24八年级上·重庆沙坪坝·期中）One evening, a young man walked on the beach. He turned back to see the footsteps (脚印) he left in the sand, but the water washed away his footsteps in the sand. When he went on walking, he saw an old woman sitting by a fire. He walked up to the old woman and asked, “Where do you come from? I didn’t see you here a minute ago.” The old woman didn’t answer his question but said, “Sit with me, my child. I have something to show you.” As the young man sat down next to the fire, the old woman gave him a book. He turned the pages of the book one by one and was surprised to find out they told the story of his life, from the early days of childhood to now. But when he turned to the next page, he found there was nothing. And there was also nothing in the rest of the pages in the book. “Does this mean my life ends tonight?” he asked. At that time, the old woman tore (撕掉) the pages that had words out of the book and threw them in the fire. “No, my child. It means tonight your life begins,” she said, “just as the water washed away your footsteps in the sand, your past goes away forever. What you truly have is here and now. My child, live each minute to the fullest.” Hearing the old woman’s words, the young man thought of his failure (失败) yesterday. But at that time, the sun rose from the sea. He looked at the sun and thought... 1．Did the water wash away the young man’s footsteps in the sand? 2．Where did the old woman throw the pages that had words? 3．What did the old woman want to tell the young man? 4．When something bad happens to you, will you choose to look back or look ahead (朝前)?

Many of us want to help wildlife when they appear to be in trouble, but in some cases, we need to redirect these instincts (直觉) . Generally, the best thing to do is leave the animal alone. This protects both you and the animal. Young wildlife usually are not orphaned, even if (即便) a parent can’t be seen. For example, baby birds often leave the nest before they can fly, hopping around on the ground for days with the parents sometimes elsewhere getting food. By trying to help wildlife, you might really be hurting them. A man in Georgia saw a manatee out of the water. Worried it was stuck (被困住) , the man pushed the manatee back into the water. Scientists said the manatee was very likely just sunbathing on a warm December day. Your “help” could also end up hurting you. The man in Georgia was fine, but even people trained in manatee rescues (救援) sometimes get injured (受伤的) . Manatees may look slow and too large to cause injury, but a lot of strength and energy is hidden within their thick hide (皮) . Finally, wild animals are hardier than we think. A recent car advertisement describes a couple “rescuing” a bird from cold weather and driving it south. This type of activity is illegal (违法的) and can be dangerous for the humans and the animals. Sometimes, though, wildlife certainly needs our help. You’ll know a wild animal needs help if it has a broken limb, is bleeding (流血) , has a dead parent nearby, or is hopelessly caught in some man-made object. If that’s the case, get in touch with a licensed (有执照的) wildlife rehabilitator. They are trained to care for wildlife. They can tell you what steps can be taken until help arrives. Not only that, but if they are truly in need, many animals need expert attention right away. Wildlife rehabilitator is the answer for an injured animal. But, in general, the best bet for your safety, and that of the animal involved, is to leave wildlife alone, whenever possible, keeping them truly wild. 1．Is it quite easy for people to do nothing, according to the writer? 2．What does the writer want to tell us by showing the examples of manatees? 3．How can we help an injured animal correctly, according to the writer? 4．The writer thinks we should keep wildlife truly wild. Do you agree? Why or why not? List at least two reasons. （23-24八年级上·山东烟台·期中）阅读下面短文，完成短文后的问题。 I am Daisy Jones.

In China, for the first six months of this year, there were 133 marathons across the country. Teenagers also join marathons. Xu Qian, a 15-year-old boy from Suqian, Jiangsu, loves running. He got first place in the 5-kilometer Happy Run of the Suqian Marathon held on April 2. For Xu, the race meant months of training and preparation. He runs about 30 to 40 kilometers in local stadiums each week before the run. “Unlike the 800-meter run at school, a marathon is about a runner’s endurance（耐力） and psychological quality （心理素质）,” he said. When he felt tired during the race, he told himself not to give up（放弃）. “In long-distance running, the only opponent （对手） you have to beat is yourself,” Xu added. Except for one’s willpower （意志力）, kindness from the people around also plays a big part in helping runners get to the finish line. Li Zhouzi from Shanxi joined a 3-kilometer Kid Run of the Berlin Marathon in Germany in 2019 when she was 10. The support from the people cheering along the course really encouraged her. “When things were hard, people around cheered me on. Even if it was just the words, ‘keep it up’, it meant a lot to me and I was encouraged to keep going to the end,” Li said.

Never once has it wanted to become a rose plant. Similarly, the rose plant has never wanted to become a tree. If man were the tree, he would compare himself with the rose and feel jealous（嫉妒的） at its beauty. Or, if man were the rose plant, he would feel jealous at its height!

Many of us want to help wildlife when they appear to be in trouble, but in some cases, we need to redirect these instincts (直觉) . Generally, the best thing to do is leave the animal alone. This protects both you and the animal. Young wildlife usually are not orphaned, even if (即便) a parent can’t be seen. For example, baby birds often leave the nest before they can fly, hopping around on the ground for days with the parents sometimes elsewhere getting food. By trying to help wildlife, you might really be hurting them. A man in Georgia saw a manatee out of the water. Worried it was stuck (被困住) , the man pushed the manatee back into the water. Scientists said the manatee was very likely just sunbathing on a warm December day. Your “help” could also end up hurting you. The man in Georgia was fine, but even people trained in manatee rescues (救援) sometimes get injured (受伤的) . Manatees may look slow and too large to cause injury, but a lot of strength and energy is hidden within their thick hide (皮) . Finally, wild animals are hardier than we think. A recent car advertisement describes a couple “rescuing” a bird from cold weather and driving it south. This type of activity is illegal (违法的) and can be dangerous for the humans and the animals. Sometimes, though, wildlife certainly needs our help. You’ll know a wild animal needs help if it has a broken limb, is bleeding (流血) , has a dead parent nearby, or is hopelessly caught in some man-made object. If that’s the case, get in touch with a licensed (有执照的) wildlife rehabilitator. They are trained to care for wildlife. They can tell you what steps can be taken until help arrives. Not only that, but if they are truly in need, many animals need expert attention right away. Wildlife rehabilitator is the answer for an injured animal. But, in general, the best bet for your safety, and that of the animal involved, is to leave wildlife alone, whenever possible, keeping them truly wild. 1．Is it quite easy for people to do nothing, according to the writer? 2．What does the writer want to tell us by showing the examples of manatees? 3．How can we help an injured animal correctly, according to the writer? 4．The writer thinks we should keep wildlife truly wild. Do you agree? Why or why not? List at least two reasons. 【答案】1．No, it isn’t. 2．By trying to help wildlife, we might really be hurting them and the “help” could also end up hurting us. /Helping wildlife might end up hurting both the animals and us. 3．By getting in touch with a (licensed) wildlife rehabilitator. 4．I agree that we should keep wildlife truly wild because we might hurt them when we try to help them (because we don’t know much about them). Also, we might hurt ourselves when we are trying to help. Animals are hardier than we think. 【导语】本文介绍遇到野生动物的时候，我们应该怎么做。 1．根据“People often think doing nothing is quite easy, but sometimes it can be very hard.”可知，作者认为有时候什么都不做是很难的，此处是作否定回答。故填No, it isn’t. 2．根据“By trying to help wildlife, you might really be hurting them.”和“Your ‘help’ could also end up hurting you.”可知，通过展示海牛的例子，作者想告诉我们，我们试图帮助野生动物的行为可能实际上会伤害它们和我们自己。故填By trying to help wildlife, we might really be hurting them and the “help” could also end up hurting us. /Helping wildlife might end up hurting both the animals and us. 3．根据“If that’s the case, get in touch with a licensed (有执照的) wildlife rehabilitator.”可知，作者建议我们应该联系有执照的野生动物康复人员来正确地帮助受伤的动物，因为他们受过专业训练，知道如何处理这些情况。故填By getting in touch with a (licensed) wildlife rehabilitator. 4．开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案为：I agree that we should keep wildlife truly wild because we might hurt them when we try to help them (because we don’t know much about them).

The cook was standing next to the fire. She was stirring a pan of soup. Alice sneezed (打喷嚏). “There’s too much pepper (胡椒粉) in that soup,” she said to herself. It was true. Both the Duchess and the baby were sneezing, too. A big cat was sitting on the floor near the fire. It was grinning (咧嘴笑) from ear to ear. “Er-excuse me,” Alice said to the Duchess. “Why is your cat grinning?” “Because it’s a Cheshire Cat,” the Duchess replied. “Pig!” She said the last word very loudly and Alice jumped. But the Duchess wasn’t speaking to her. She was speaking to the crying baby. Alice decided to continue the conversation. “I didn’t know that Cheshire cats grinned. In fact, I didn’t know that cats could grin.” “Well, they can. And most of them do!” the Duchess said. Suddenly she threw the baby at Alice. The baby was difficult to hold because it was a strange shape. Alice looked at the baby again, more carefully. It was a pig. —Taken from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland 1．Who was the man with the face of a fish? 2．What did the Queen invite the Duchess to do? 3．Why did they sneeze when they were in the kitchen? 4．What did the Duchess call the baby? 5．Why did Alice think the Cheshire Cat was strange? 【答案】1．He was a footman/the Queen’s footman./A footman. 2．She invited her to play croquet./Play croquet./To play croquet. 3．Because there was too much pepper (in that soup). 4．Pig. 5．Because it could grin. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章节选自《爱丽丝梦游仙境》，讲述了爱丽丝和公爵夫人之间的故事。 1．根据文中“Suddenly a footman with the face of a fish ran out of the woods.”可知，长着鱼脸的是男仆。故填He was a footman/the Queen’s footman./A footman. 2．根据文中“For the Duchess.
