Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): 12分 Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading. After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.” One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! The woman sitting by her window was clearly seen. Her window was clean! Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window. That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings (缺点)? From then on, whenever I wanted to judge someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see others’ world more clearly. 39.

Choose the best answer Emergencies don’t happen very often. But when they do, you want to get help first. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone numbers. In 1968, the Untied States government wanted one number that people could call for emergencies. They decided that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it quickly. The very first 911 call was made on February 16, 1968, in Alabama. Today, 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada. Other countries may use other numbers. In Great Britain, it’s 999. If you’re not sure which emergency number is used in your area, check your phone book. When to call  Never call 911 as a joke or just to see what might happen. The only time you should call 911 is when a person is badly hurt in danger right now! So call when there is a fire, a car accident, or sudden sickness, etc. When in an emergency call When you dial the 911 operator (接线员), it’s always OK to give out your information. Speak slowly and clearly when you explain what’s happening. What happened? Where are you? Who needs help? Don’t hang up (挂断)！ If you have to call 911, do not hang up until the operator tells you it’s OK to do so, That way, you can be sure that the operator has all the information to offer help fast. A dog named Faith dialed 911 when her owner who was in a wheelchair fell and needed help. She had been taught to use a speed dial (快递拨号) function. 44 The emergency number 911 was first used in __________ in the USA. A. 1958 B. 1968 C. 1978 D. 1999 45. Why was 911 chose to be the emergency call? A. Because other countries also used the number. B. Because it was suggested by the phone company. C. Because it was simple and easy to remember and dial. D. Because it was also used in many parts of Canada. 46. 999 is used as the emergency number in __________. A. China B. Canada C. the USA D. Great Britain 47. People can’t call 911 when __________. A. a bus hits a boy badly B. a girl feels bored C. an old lady falls off the stairs, unable to stand up D. some people can’t get out of a burning building 48. If you call the emergency number, you should __________.

At the moment we’re staying near Uluru—that’s the aboriginal(土著) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a plane tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3. 6 kilometers long and 384 meters high. The colors of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture. The Australians have many British relatives. That’s why they’re like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing. Although it’s December, it’s summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲内陆) is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand. The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼) ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry and refused me. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down… Finally, later this evening, we’re taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home, it’s been a fantastic trip! Tony 44. ________ is the most popular sport in Australia. A. B. C. D. 45. Which is NOT true according to Paragraph One? A. Uluru is the name for Ayers Rock. B. The height of Uluru is 384 meters. C.

Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）（12分） My husband brought home a box of six chickens at the start of the pandemic (流行病), our nine-year-old daughter, Sophie, hasn’t let them out of her sight. She named every one and was very upset when we wouldn’t let them sleep in her bed. Sophie takes at least one chicken with her when she is out. One hot day, she wanted to take Captain Flint to the river. I wasn’t so sure about it: Could chickens swim? Sophie balanced a stick on her river tube (游泳圈) for Captain Flint to stay on, and the two floated down the river. Naturally, Sophie dressed as a chicken in a festival and put Trixie in her arms.

The chickens weren’t allowed in the house until one evening after taking online courses when Sophie told me, ”There’s nothing to feel happy about. “Since then, we’ve allowed one inside at a time.

Choose the best answer (选择最恰当的答案) (12分) Daniel Olin was 11 years old when his parents moved to Canada. He liked his new school and made friends there, but then things at home started to change. His mum and dad began to argue and the arguments got worse and worse until one day, Daniel’s mum left. With his father working long hours, Daniel felt very lonely and very unhappy. He wanted to escape, to run away. And that’s what he did. Very early one terribly cold morning when the snow was deep on the ground, he packed a bag with some clothes, some chocolate and a map of Canada and set off to a forest. He ran and ran until he could hardly breathe. His feet were heavy with the snow but he still walked on through deep snow, not even watching where he was going. Then, disaster struck. A rock hidden by the deep snow caught his feet and Daniel fell to the ground. He had broken the bone. He was very cold and was starting to feel tired, but he knew that if he fell asleep in the snow, he would certainly die from the cold. A tree shook ahead. From within the branches, a pair of yellow eyes watched Daniel. The puma had been following him. A puma is a large wild cat with claws that could tear Daniel into pieces. But instead of moving in for the kill, the puma walked up to Daniel and lay across his chest, arms and legs. Daniel was too frightened to move, but soon the warmth of the animal reached Daniel and he began to feel better. From time to time, the puma pressed his muzzle (口鼻) against Daniel and shook his head gently. Clearly, the puma knew that Daniel must not fall asleep. This animal should have been a real danger to Daniel and yet the boy began to feel safe. They remained like that for several hours until Daniel and the puma heard voices. The rescue team had found them. 39. Daniel ran away from home because ________. A. he had a big argument with his father B. he wanted to learn to be independent C. he didn’t get enough care from his parents D. his parents were always arguing at home 40.

(根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案) It was 9:15 as Marie hurried into the office building. her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day. Once inside the lobby (大厅), she had to stand in the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked “King Enterprises”, she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no reply. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in. Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks ago when she had the interview with Mr King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees (雇员) were just standing around chatting and smoking. At the end of the room, somebody must have just told a funny joke, she thought, because there was a loud of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr King, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day’s work in the office began just before Mr King arrived. Later she found out that Mr King lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff (职员) knew exactly when to start working. 39. What did Marie decide to do the next day? A. She took the bus to work. B. She decided to go to work two hours earlier. C. She decided to go to work a few minutes earlier. D.

Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as ________. A. she had been there only once B. nobody was doing any work C. Mr King was not in the office D. the office had a new appearance 42.

Today you can see buildings of different heights that seem to touch the sky. They are called skyscrapers (摩天大楼). They shape the famous New York City skyline. It started about 90 years ago. It began like a race. This wasn’t a race down the street or around a track (跑道). It was a race for the sky. Who was racing? Buildings were. Their builders were actually racing to build the world’s tallest skyscraper. The race started slowly. First came the Woolworth Building, in 1913. It rose 792 feet on the southern side of the city. From far away, it looked like a thin castle floating (漂浮) in the sky. Then the race heated up. In 1930, two skyscrapers were nearing completion. The Bank of Manhattan Building was finished first. It rose up to 927 feet into the sky. Builders were then putting a round roof on the top of the Chrysler Building. It shot up to 925 feet. The Bank of Manhattan, two feet taller, seemed to be the winner. A big party was held to celebrate its victory. A few weeks later, New Yorkers saw a strange sight. The day that the Chrysler Building was to be completed, workers raised a shiny metal spire (尖顶) through the top of the building, adding 121 feet to the building’s height! At 1,048 feet, the Chrysler Building was now the world’s tallest. But the race was not over. A year later, in 1931, the Empire State Building became the new winner. At 1,250 feet, it was the world’s tallest building. In 1973, even that record was broken. Builders finished the twin towers of the World Trade Center. At 1,368 feet high, they rose above all other buildings in New York City. Time goes on. As technology improves, taller buildings are being built. The race is still on. 39. Today the New York City skyline becomes famous because buildings there are ______. A. all the same height B. above the sky C. built in different sizes D. of different heights 40. About 90 years ago, builders in New York City were racing to ______. A. build the world’s tallest skyscrapers B. go down the New York street C. run around the track D. enjoy the famous skyline 41. The Bank of Manhattan Building was ______ feet tall when it was finished. A. 792 B. 925 C. 927 D. 929 42. The Chrysler Building was the world’s tallest in 1930 because ______. A. builders put a round roof on its top B. builders held a party to celebrate it C. New Yorkers saw a strange sight D. workers raised a metal spire through its top 43. By the end of 1973, the world’s second tallest building was ______. A. the Woolworth Building B. the Chrysler Building C. the Empire State Building D. the World Trade Center 44.

Choose the best answer (根据以下内容, 选择最恰当的答案) (12分) Improvements in technology often happen overnight. Some gadgets get smaller and faster. Others are replaced (代替) by newer things like smartphones. They can do hundreds of things. Here are some old gadgets that people used to use. ①________ Do you have a landline (固定电话) at home? These are phones that people plug (插入) into their living room walls. Mobile phones didn’t use to be so common at that time, so most families had a landline. But landlines only worked at home. What did people do when they were outside and needed to call someone? They looked for a pay phone! Then, most people had their own mobile phones and many homes no longer had landlines. ②________ People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards. But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks. The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful — each disk could store just 175 KB of information! Later, floppy disks got smaller and better. But even the best ones could only hold 1. 44 MB. You would need three or four disks just for one song, and about 22,000 disks to match the storage (储存空间) available on a 32 GB phone! ③________ It’s easy to take photos today. People often have thousands just on their phones! But photos used to be expensive, and people took fewer of them. To take a photo, you had to buy a roll of film. This allowed you to take about 30 photos. After finishing the roll, you left it at a shop. The shop developed the photos to make them be seen, which you could collect after a few days. Technology changes all the time, and the gadgets we use today will one day be old. What do you think will be next to disappear? 64. What does the underlined word “gadgets” mean in Paragraph 1? A.

At the moment we’re staying near Uluru—that’s the aboriginal(土著) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a plane tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3. 6 kilometers long and 384 meters high. The colors of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture. The Australians have many British relatives. That’s why they’re like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing. Although it’s December, it’s summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲内陆) is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand. The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼) ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry and refused me. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down… Finally, later this evening, we’re taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home, it’s been a fantastic trip!

She named every one and was very upset when we wouldn’t let them sleep in her bed. Sophie takes at least one chicken with her when she is out. One hot day, she wanted to take Captain Flint to the river. I wasn’t so sure about it: Could chickens swim? Sophie balanced a stick on her river tube (游泳圈) for Captain Flint to stay on, and the two floated down the river. Naturally, Sophie dressed as a chicken in a festival and put Trixie in her arms. The neighbors thought it was hilarious and they laughed. “Wait, is that a real chicken you’re holding?” The chickens are teaching us about love as well as loss and sadness. Sadly, Captain Flint died after an accident. We said a few words about what a good chicken she was, and thanked her for the joy she brought to our lives before we buried (埋) her. Sophie painted a lovely picture in memory of her and has been wearing a hat with Captain Flint’s photo ever since. The chickens weren’t allowed in the house until one evening after taking online courses when Sophie told me, ”There’s nothing to feel happy about. “Since then, we’ve allowed one inside at a time. That is, if Sophie immediately cleans up after the visit. The chickens brought a lot of joy back to our lives. In a few short months, they have taught us to accept what we can’t change and find joy where we can. I am so grateful. 59. What happened after the chickens arrived? A.

Choose the best answer (选择最恰当的答案) (12分) Daniel Olin was 11 years old when his parents moved to Canada. He liked his new school and made friends there, but then things at home started to change. His mum and dad began to argue and the arguments got worse and worse until one day, Daniel’s mum left. With his father working long hours, Daniel felt very lonely and very unhappy. He wanted to escape, to run away. And that’s what he did. Very early one terribly cold morning when the snow was deep on the ground, he packed a bag with some clothes, some chocolate and a map of Canada and set off to a forest. He ran and ran until he could hardly breathe. His feet were heavy with the snow but he still walked on through deep snow, not even watching where he was going. Then, disaster struck. A rock hidden by the deep snow caught his feet and Daniel fell to the ground. He had broken the bone. He was very cold and was starting to feel tired, but he knew that if he fell asleep in the snow, he would certainly die from the cold. A tree shook ahead. From within the branches, a pair of yellow eyes watched Daniel. The puma had been following him. A puma is a large wild cat with claws that could tear Daniel into pieces. But instead of moving in for the kill, the puma walked up to Daniel and lay across his chest, arms and legs. Daniel was too frightened to move, but soon the warmth of the animal reached Daniel and he began to feel better. From time to time, the puma pressed his muzzle (口鼻) against Daniel and shook his head gently. Clearly, the puma knew that Daniel must not fall asleep. This animal should have been a real danger to Daniel and yet the boy began to feel safe. They remained like that for several hours until Daniel and the puma heard voices. The rescue team had found them. 39. Daniel ran away from home because ________. A. he had a big argument with his father B. he wanted to learn to be independent C. he didn’t get enough care from his parents D. his parents were always arguing at home 40. What was the “disaster” in the third paragraph? A. Daniel lost his way in the forest. B. The heavy snow blocked the way. C. Daniel fell down and got hurt. D. A puma wanted to attack Daniel. 41. Why didn’t Daniel notice the rock that caused him to fall? A. Because it was getting dark. B. Because the rock was hidden by snow. C. Because he was frightened by a puma. D. Because he was too sad to notice it. 42. Where was the puma when Daniel first saw it? A. In the tree. B. On the top of a rock. C. Behind the rock. D. Before a cave. 43. Why did the puma press its muzzle against Dan and rock his head gently from time to time? A. To keep Daniel warm. B. To play with Daniel. C. To kill Daniel. D. To keep Daniel awake. 44. What is the best title for the story? A. Puma in danger B. A caring puma C. Rescue of a boy D. A homeless boy 【答案】39. C 40. C 41. B 42. A 43. D 44.

(根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案) It was 9:15 as Marie hurried into the office building. her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day. Once inside the lobby (大厅), she had to stand in the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked “King Enterprises”, she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no reply. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in. Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks ago when she had the interview with Mr King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees (雇员) were just standing around chatting and smoking. At the end of the room, somebody must have just told a funny joke, she thought, because there was a loud of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr King, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day’s work in the office began just before Mr King arrived. Later she found out that Mr King lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff (职员) knew exactly when to start working. 39. What did Marie decide to do the next day? A. She took the bus to work. B. She decided to go to work two hours earlier. C. She decided to go to work a few minutes earlier. D. She decided to start out half an hour earlier. 40. Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because ________. A. it was her second day at her new job B. she couldn’t find her way C. she was a little bit late for work D. there was no answer from inside the office 41. Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as ________. A. she had been there only once B. nobody was doing any work C. Mr King was not in the office D. the office had a new appearance 42. The people in the office suddenly started working because ________. A. the boss was about to arrive B. they saw a strange man in the office C. no one wanted to talk to Marie D. they had finished their morning break 43. We can infer from the passage that the employees of the enterprise ________. A. were cold to newcomers B. were always punctual (准时的) for work C. showed devotion to the company D. would start their work by relaxing some time 44. Which is the best title for this passage? A. Punctual Like a Clock B. Before the Boss Arrives C. An Unpunctual Manager D. Better Late Than Never 【答案】39. D 40. C 41. B 42. A 43. D 44.

The employees (雇员) were just standing around chatting and smoking.”可知，Marie几乎认不出她走进的办公室，是因为没有人在工作。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie.”及“Then Marie realized that the day’s work in the office began just before Mr King arrived.”可知，办公室里的人突然开始工作，是因为老板就要到了。故选A。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The employees(雇员)were just standing around chatting and smoking…everyone was hard at work.”及“Then Marie realized that the day’s work in the office began just before Mr King arrived.”可知，员工会先放松一会儿然后等老板来了再开始工作。故选D。 【44题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文，本文以Marie的视角，通过讲述她第一天来新公司上班的经历，描述了公司的员工等到老板快要到了才开始工作，因此B项“在老板到来之前”最适合作为文章的标题。故选B。 16、2024·娄山中学·期中卷 Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) FIRE INSTRUCTIONS IN SCHOOLS The person who sees a fire must: 1.

Today you can see buildings of different heights that seem to touch the sky. They are called skyscrapers (摩天大楼). They shape the famous New York City skyline. It started about 90 years ago. It began like a race. This wasn’t a race down the street or around a track (跑道). It was a race for the sky. Who was racing? Buildings were. Their builders were actually racing to build the world’s tallest skyscraper. The race started slowly. First came the Woolworth Building, in 1913. It rose 792 feet on the southern side of the city. From far away, it looked like a thin castle floating (漂浮) in the sky. Then the race heated up. In 1930, two skyscrapers were nearing completion. The Bank of Manhattan Building was finished first. It rose up to 927 feet into the sky. Builders were then putting a round roof on the top of the Chrysler Building. It shot up to 925 feet. The Bank of Manhattan, two feet taller, seemed to be the winner. A big party was held to celebrate its victory. A few weeks later, New Yorkers saw a strange sight. The day that the Chrysler Building was to be completed, workers raised a shiny metal spire (尖顶) through the top of the building, adding 121 feet to the building’s height! At 1,048 feet, the Chrysler Building was now the world’s tallest. But the race was not over. A year later, in 1931, the Empire State Building became the new winner. At 1,250 feet, it was the world’s tallest building. In 1973, even that record was broken. Builders finished the twin towers of the World Trade Center. At 1,368 feet high, they rose above all other buildings in New York City. Time goes on. As technology improves, taller buildings are being built. The race is still on. 39.

Choose the best answer (根据以下内容, 选择最恰当的答案) (12分) Improvements in technology often happen overnight. Some gadgets get smaller and faster. Others are replaced (代替) by newer things like smartphones. They can do hundreds of things. Here are some old gadgets that people used to use. ①________ Do you have a landline (固定电话) at home? These are phones that people plug (插入) into their living room walls. Mobile phones didn’t use to be so common at that time, so most families had a landline. But landlines only worked at home. What did people do when they were outside and needed to call someone? They looked for a pay phone! Then, most people had their own mobile phones and many homes no longer had landlines. ②________ People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards. But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks. The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful — each disk could store just 175 KB of information! Later, floppy disks got smaller and better. But even the best ones could only hold 1. 44 MB. You would need three or four disks just for one song, and about 22,000 disks to match the storage (储存空间) available on a 32 GB phone! ③________ It’s easy to take photos today. People often have thousands just on their phones! But photos used to be expensive, and people took fewer of them. To take a photo, you had to buy a roll of film. This allowed you to take about 30 photos. After finishing the roll, you left it at a shop. The shop developed the photos to make them be seen, which you could collect after a few days. Technology changes all the time, and the gadgets we use today will one day be old. What do you think will be next to disappear? 64. What does the underlined word “gadgets” mean in Paragraph 1? A.
