This one-meter-high bread was out of the hands of Gong Xin, a Chinese baker who won the first place in the ninth World Bread Competition, also known as “the Bread Olympic Games”, making him the first ever Chinese champion (冠军) of this event. Many foreigners say (A) it is the same as a foreigner taking the first place in a dumpling-making competition in China. After graduating from school, Gong began to learn to make bread. He worked in a bakery. Soon, he found that it could not help realize his dream because he wished to become a top baker. He then left to further his bread-making skills in a famous school. The journey of growing from a common baker to a skilled one took him only two years, but behind the rapid progress were many hours of sweating (汗水) in his free time. For Gong, hard work had produced fantastic skills, but he kept wondering how he could take those skills to the next level, which was the reason why he took part in the competition. As a well-known international bakery competition, the World Bread Competition requires each competitor to make different types of healthy bread with creative ideas. Gong tried a lot day in, day out, finally making a name for himself. A young baker from a small town has grown into a world champion. “Challenges are everywhere. One should have more practice, patience and a deep love for the job. More communication and exchanges about the ideas especially expressing the traditional Chinese culture with other people are also necessary,” he said, adding that when he watched people enjoying and admiring his bread, he got a strong feeling of satisfaction. That is the force to keep him moving forward. 18．What can we infer from the foreigners’ words (A) in Paragraph One? 19．What made Gong the champion of the competition?  (List two points.) 20．根据短文内容，绘制一个思维导图，呈现你对文章的理解。 要求： ①提炼文章主题并归纳至少3个信息要点； ②主题和各要点问逻辑清晰； ③可参考下列图式, 也可自行创作； ④总词数控制在20—30。 （2024·山东日照·中考真题） 阅读下面短文，回答短文后面的各个小题。 Born in 1977 in a family of engineers, Xie Xiaohui went to university in 1995. After graduation, he joined the army and was sent to Yong ’an Fire Station in Sanming City, Fujian. He went on thousands of rescue (营救) tasks and saved hundreds of people from fires with his team. Whenever the alarm bell went off, he was always the first to get out, jump onto the fire-fighting truck, and rush to the fire. On July 26, 2004, the fire station suddenly sounded an alarm bell at 10:15—a fire broke out in a factory. During this rescue, Xie Xiaohui got 75 percent burns all over his body. The local hospital did its best to save Xie’s life. To avoid infection (感染), some good skin (皮肤) was needed to put onto his body. There was not much good skin on his body, so the doctors had to “rob Peter to pay Paul”. After going through hundreds of operations in the following three years, he joined a cycling club in order to get well from the operations. Later, he set up a cycling team to spread fire safety knowledge by cycling around. His team trained nearly 5,500 people within three years as they tried to raise fire safety awareness (意识) among people.

Being a decent (得体的) person will help us form healthy relationships. Here are some useful suggestions on how to be a decent person. Let others trust you. Keep up with your promises. If you promise to be somewhere at a certain time, be there. If you say you’ll do a favor, do it. Decent people follow through because they want others to feel safe. People need dependable friends and family members to have a sense of safety in their lives. Avoid judgment. Remember, you cannot fully understand what it’s like to be inside someone else’s head. Therefore, avoid trying to pass judgment on a behavior or a decision. Everyone is different. So, it should not be surprising if another person’s choice is different from yours. It’s okay to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and try to understand their decisions. Provide support during bad times. Think about times in your life that were hard. You probably had friends, family members, and other loved ones helping you along the way. If you want to be a decent person, you should provide support in return. When people go through difficult times, put yourself out there and help. Let go of anger. If you live with a lot of anger, you’re more likely to be unfriendly to others. Becoming a decent person often means letting go of some anger. If you find yourself becoming angry, take physical means to cool down. For example, take a deep breath. Always remember to avoid taking things personally. This will help you away from your anger. 31． 32． 33． 34． 35． （2024·山东济宁·中考真题） 阅读短文，根据要求完成下面小题。 Chinese calligraphy Chinese calligraphy is a beautiful art form of writing Chinese characters (汉字).

Even if I managed to get some camels to sit on one side, a few others would stand on the other side.” “That’s true. As noticed last night, some camels sat down on their own, while others required some effort, and yet many camels did not sit even after lots of effort. If you had come back later, you would have seen that some of the camels, even though they didn’t sit at first, finally sat down on their own,” the old man said. James nodded. The old man continued, “Problems are just like camels—some problems get solved by themselves, some get solved when you put in some effort, and some do not get solved even after you have tried your best.

A dentist can use X-rays to look at teeth. And airport workers use an X-ray machine to check objects before a plane leaves. Nowadays, X-ray technology is widely used in medicine and other fields. X-rays were first discovered by a German scientist, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845 –1923). He found them quite by accident in 1895. One day, he discovered that an unknown kind of radiation (放射线) could hardly pass through hard objects like bones (骨头). Later, Röntgen took a photo of his wife’s hand. It clearly showed her ring and her bones. That was the first X-ray photo in the world. Why is there an “X” in the word X-ray? It’s because Röntgen couldn’t explain exactly how it worked. He just knew that X-rays were new and useful for science. In fact, X-rays soon became an important tool in medicine. With the help of X-rays, doctors could see inside the human body for the first time without surgery (外科手术). Röntgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize (诺贝尔奖) in physics in 1901 for his discovery. When he was asked what he was thinking at the moment of discovery, he replied, “I didn’t think, I investigated (研究).” Röntgen gave away his Nobel Prize money to his university. And he never took out any patents (专利权) on X-rays, to make sure that the world could freely make use of his discovery. 51．Where is X-ray technology used? 52．When were X-rays discovered? 53．Whose hand was in the first X-ray photo? 54．Why did Röntgen name the ray “X-ray”? 55．What do you think of Röntgen?

Unlike traditional travel, it aims to avoid famous tourist spots and large crowds to get a better experience.

Few people fully respect all his or her decisions, making decisions without really considering whether those decisions are really needed, whether they are correct, or even whether they are possible to complete. Imagine how you will feel if you are able to respect your decisions. You will be determined (坚定的), more creative, more satisfied, and so on. Although many methods could be written about how to respect your decisions and carry them out, the simplest way to start is by deciding to decide and deciding to respect the decisions you make! Yes, it’s as simple as that. Before making a decision, it is a good idea to notice how you feel about what you are considering. Do you feel easy and relaxed about what you are thinking to do? If you decide to do something that doesn’t agree with your inner feelings, you will certainly find it difficult to complete the task that you’ve decided to do. In fact you may not even start it! By making sure that the decision agrees with your values first, you should have no difficulties carrying it out. Respecting your decisions is respecting yourself. If you seldom do what you say, then other people will not trust you, nor will you trust yourself. Very quickly these make you tired, slow and lazy. At this point nearly everything seems like hand work. To respect your decisions is a great quality to have. By giving importance to your time and energy, you will be able to make wise decisions. You will be known as someone who does what they say they will do. You will be highly respected. You will have a powerful and clear mind. You’ll have one of the greatest attributes (特质) needed for success. 1．What will you be like if you respect your own decisions according to Paragraph 1? 2．What should you do before making a decision according to Paragraph 3? 3．Why do others no longer trust you according to Paragraph 4 ? 4．How could you make wise decisions according to the last paragraph? 5．Give a proper title to the passage. （2023·山东淄博·中考真题） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The earliest form of writing appeared about 5, 500 years ago. In the past, hand writing was an important subject in school. Now, many students sometimes do homework on a computer and turn in their tasks online. Many people think typing (打字) is quick and easy to read, while writing by hand may take longer than typing. But others say writing with a pen and paper is more valuable. Writing by hand has big advantages. Research shows that when we write down ideas with a pen or pencil, we make the brain active to help us learn, remember and think. Writing by hand lets people show their creativity. No two people have the same handwriting. Writing by hand can also help people concentrate. When using a computer, people can go online or play computer games easily. Handwriting may be pretty, however, people can get their ideas and thoughts down more quickly when they type. Typing can also make it easier for people to change. Once something is written by hand, you can’t delete it. If you want to make a change, you have to write it all over again. What’s more, some people’s handwriting may be hard to read. Typing makes everything clear, and no one will have to worry about their words being clear enough. 6．When did people begin to write? 7．How is the brain when we write by hand? 8．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? 9．How many advantages of typing are mentioned in Paragraph 3? 10．If you need to write a report, will you type or handwrite it?

It was still in pretty good shape after so many winters’ wear. I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually (不经意地) mentioned it to my daughter one day. She is such a sweet, loving soul that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me a gift of a bright red, brand new, winter’s coat. I put the old one in my closet (壁橱) and started to wear the new coat every day. Each day, though, when I opened my closet something upset me. It seemed a shame that my still good, old coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold, winter days. After a few weeks I took it out and drove to a local charity (慈善机构). I knew that there someone who couldn’t afford a coat might get my old one. I dropped it off and walked out the door. Then I saw a shivering (瑟瑟发抖的) man in only a thin jacket walking in. I wondered if he would end up in my old coat. Then I smiled and went home with a warm heart. My new coat is old now. It is in too bad of shape to even give away to charity. I wonder if I should buy a new one soon but I think I will wait a while. I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find a few more things to give to the charity instead. Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants is to give. Love, after all, brings us the most joy. And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have. May all of your days be full of Warmth! May all of your days be full of Giving!

Later, characters and even full sentences were written on animal bones or shells for communication. With time passing by, a number of written forms appeared. Each had its own local style. In the 3rd century BC, the First Emperor, Qinshihuang, set the same standard for the written characters— “small seal” script. It was first used in his own state of Qin, then in the whole nation. That writing system was very important in uniting(联合) the Chinese people and culture. At the same time, Cheng Miao developed another style called “clerical” script. It used short, straight brush strokes (笔画) to write quickly. By Han times, calligraphers had created a new style known as “regular” script. From the Tang Dynasty, it became the standard form used in government exams. Over the centuries, Chinese artists and people with knowledge saw beauty in the forms of their written language. They turned calligraphy into one of the fine arts, in which calligraphers expressed themselves. In the Tang Dynasty, calligraphy was helpful for a person to get a place in the government. The tools of calligraphy were simple enough. What we needed were the Four Treasures of the study: a brush, ink(墨), an ink stone and a writing surface. Students of calligraphy practiced the main types of script and improved their skills by copying the works of past masters. With the increase of their knowledge and practice, they slowly developed their own styles. The art of calligraphy reached a high point in the 4th century. At that time, calligrapher Wang Xizhi was often regarded as the greatest master. Calligraphy remains a living art form to this day. It has become part of the school courses to pass on the Chinese culture. 21．What is the Chinese meaning of “characters” in Paragraph Two? 22．Why did the writer mention Emperor Qinshihuang in the passage? 23．What is the main idea of Paragraph Two? 24．根据短文内容填空。(每空不超过三个单词) Calligraphy is almost as old as writing itself. Calligraphers not only used it to communicate, but also as a way to in different dynasties. In certain dynasty, for those who wanted to in the government, calligraphy could even increase their chances. Students of calligraphy usually made progress by others’ styles and continuing before they formed their own styles. Now, to pass on the Chinese culture, schools it as part of the school courses. （2023·山东青岛·中考真题） People in the countryside are used to having unexpected visitors—wild animals like frogs and snakes. But what if the visitor is an elephant? Pu Cuifen, a villager from Yunnan Province, experiencedthattwo years ago. “I’ve only seen elephants in a zoo before, not expecting a wild elephant would appear at my doorstep,” said Pu. The elephants were harmful to no one, but had corn and beans on the farm. The villagers lost up to(A)50,000yuan. Earlier than that, villagers would drive away the elephants to protect their crops(庄稼), which made the animals angry and led to human injuries(伤害) or deaths. Now the government has helped to pay the money for the crops damaged(破坏) by elephants. Such things will help protect the interests of farmers, and at the same time avoid the wild animals being hurt by humans. The government has also created “dining halls” for the wild elephants to grow their favorite food, such as elephant grass and bamboo. Villagers now simply leave the elephants alone. “Our corn might get damaged, but we treat them with care and accept them with love.” said Pu. Yunnan Province is not the only example of protecting wild animals. In Xizang, Migmar used to be a hunter(猎人), but now has become a rescuer(营救者) at the wildlife rescue station of Qomolangma. He and his friends take turns to go around to check there’s no trouble or danger for wild animals every day. The wildlife rescue station was set up in (B) 2019. From then on, they have saved (C) 17 wild animals. During this period, they learned to bandage the animals and clean their wounds, and set them free into the wild when they got well again. “Animals don’t talk, but I can feel their trust. We have the responsibility to protect them,” said Migmar. Examples of taking care of wild animals appear more around us. From damage to protection, people see more changing human-wildlife relations. Even the simplest change and action can make a difference to the world. 25．What does “that” refer to(指的是) in Paragraph Two? 26．Which sentence in the passage has the similar meaning to the following one? The elephants didn’t hurt anyone, but only ate some farm plants in the field. 27．Why did the government create “dining halls” for the wild elephants? 28．How did Migmar and his friends save wild animals? 29．Ask ONE question about one of the following numbers from the passage.

It’s even thought that in the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthdays. Here are five rules for a healthy life. 1. Get off the sofa! Sure, it’s comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch TV. But doctors say you should get off the sofa. 要保持健康，你每天至少应走10000步。In the past, people’s jobs required more physical effort. They often had to walk for miles every day. When farmers were working, they were keeping fit at the same time. Think about it: Do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past? 2. Eat healthy food! It’s important to eat food that is fresh and natural, for example, fruit and vegetables. Fast food is not healthy. You should only have it once in a while. Eating too much of the wrong food will harm your health. 3. Rest while you can! When we were babies, we slept for much of the night. Teenagers do not need as much sleep as babies, but it’s important for you to get about eight hours’ sleep a night. At weekends, you’ve got more time, so use it not just for your friends, but for rest too. 4. Don’t worry. Be happy! Many people believe that happiness is important for our general health. Sometimes it is not easy to be a teenager because of the difficulties of school, exams or friendships. If you’re worried about something, talk to your parents or your teacher. 5. Say no to smoking!

We don’t want our world to become one big landfill site （垃圾填埋场）.” In Ireland the government were very worried about plastic bags so they decided to make people pay for them. Since 2002 Irish people have been paying for the bags they take home from the shops. Of course, they soon stopped buying new bags and started taking bags with them when shopping. Some countries have made even bigger changes. In 2006, the people of Zanzibar decided to stop making plastic bags. They were worried the bags were killing fish and sea animals.

In ancient China, the school entrance ceremony(入学典礼) was one of the most important ceremonies. Children began school between the ages of 4—7 in ancient China. Since there was no certain time to begin a new term at that time, the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school. Next, parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and four treasures of the study. In ancient times, teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons. Parents would prepare many gifts, and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children’s teacher. On the day their children entered school, parents would take them to take part in the First Writing Ceremony. Before that, children would kowtow(叩头) to the statue of Confucius(孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect(尊敬). During the ceremony, the teacher would put a red point on the students’ forehead(前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would also ring a certain bell to start a new term. After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very important ceremony for every student. Every day, students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher, and kowtow to the statue of Confucius, and then go back to the seats. Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for future Imperial Examination(科举考试) . Today, some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times. Students put on traditional costumes and bow to the statue of Confucius and their teachers. This means that from this moment, they take a step in the lifelong journey of learning. 51．At what age did children begin school in ancient China? 52．List two things parents did for children to enter school in ancient China. 53．Why would children kowtow to the statue of Confucius and their teacher before the First Writing Ceremony? 54．What would children do during the First Writing Ceremony? 55．What do you think of the school entrance ceremony?

There are so many things you can do! Many people I know decide to play sports and eat healthier food as their new year’s resolution. Many become heavier after the holidays as they often eat a lot. I think new year’s resolutions are a great idea to give people motivation (动机) to do something good for themselves.

The 104-minute film has connected the lion dance culture with a teenager’s pursuit（追求）of his dream. Set in Guangdong Province, the film is about the growth of a left-behind teenager named A Juan. He met a girl who had the exact same name. Encouraged by her, A Juan made up his mind to form a lion dance team with his two close friends A Mao and A Gou. After being trained by a master, the three took part in a lion dance competition in Guangzhou. Although later A Juan had to work to support his family, he still bravely followed his dream—becoming the best lion dancer. “It opens a new world for China’s animated（动画）film,” said an animator. Unlike most Chinese animated films today, which have to do with myths（神话）or fairy tales, I Am What I Am sets eyes on reality. This is not very common in the animation field in China. “I’ve always wanted to make an animated film about our real life. And I remembered the lion dance performances at festivals. They were so beautiful, colourful and folk. That inspired me to make a film about lion dance,” said the director. The film has got high marks on different websites. Although it’s not perfect, many people are deeply moved. It shows not only the beauty of Chinese culture but also the spirit of the nation, according to CCTV news. 116．Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. （将划线句子翻译成汉语） 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 117．What’s the film about? （不超过15个词） 118．What’s the boy A Juan’s dream? 根据短文内容，在空白处填入恰当的短语，使句意完整。 119．The film I Am What I Am sets eyes on reality means that the film story comes from . 120．As long as you catch the main idea of the film, you will take pride in and expressed in it. （2022·山东日照·中考真题） 阅读下面短文，回答短文后面的各个小题。    Anne of Green Gables has been a favorite book of teenagers all over the world since it came out in 1908. What it teaches us is simple: How to grow up to be a happy and useful person. Anne is an 11-year-old orphan who arrives in the town of Avonlea, Canada. She helps Mathew and Marilla Cuthbert, a brother and sister, on their farm. At first, Mathew and Marilla hope to adopt (收养) a boy, not a thin girl. Will she be of any use on the farm? It seems unlikely: Anne is very imaginative, talkative and easily distracted (分心的). That’s not what is needed on a farm. And yet, Annie proves (证明) that she can actually be useful. She works really hard. But she doesn’t lose her great sense of fun and this is why readers love the story. She doesn’t become “a good girl”, if “good girl” means knowing only how to work and live unhappily. We see Anne’s love for life everywhere. She knows how to enjoy herself, whether it’s by eating ice cream or trying on a new dress. Many stories for children are written to tell them how to be good. Usually, it means doing one’s duty (责任) and not having any fun. But that’s not the kind of story Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery wanted to tell. The book gives readers a helping hand rather than try to scare them into being “good” girls and boys. 121．When was the book first printed? 122．Why do the brother and sister dislike Anne at first? 123．How does Ann prove herself on the farm? 124．What is a usual “good girl” like in the passage? 125．What does the writer of the passage think of the book? （2022·山东滨州·中考真题） 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。    Known as the birthplace (发源地) of kites.

The sky was blue, the sun was out, and the air was warm. As I drove along the roads I could see thousands of wild flowers in bloom. When I rounded a curve（转弯）I slowed. I saw some volunteers picking up rubbish along the side of the road. I smiled as I saw them doing some “Spring Cleaning” for Mother Earth. And my mind floated（飘荡）back in time to another Spring day long ago. When my children were younger we used to walk around the lake near our home. One Spring day my daughter and I noticed just how much rubbish was lying along the path. The next day then we brought a big rubbish bag with us and started to slowly, step by step, pick up the rubbish along our way. There were plastic water bottles, wrappers（包装袋）for candy bars, empty chip bags, pieces of broken fishing line, and even an old thrown—away shoe. We stopped and picked up each one and even fished a few pieces of garbage out of the edge of the water. By the time we had circled the lake the bag was nearly full. Tired but happy, we put the bag in an empty dustbin. We stopped before we headed home and took one last look at the lake as the sun set. It looked more beautiful than ever and I felt like the angels were looking down upon it with us and sharing our smiles. I know that at times you wonder what you can do to make a difference. But the truth is EVERYTHING you do makes a difference! Every time you pick up a single piece of  rubbish you make a difference. Every kind word you say makes a difference.

This usually happens when there is a problem with the electricity, but this time the lights were turned off to allow people to go outside and look at the stars. This is often impossible in a city because of light population. Light pollution is when light from streetlights or buildings makes the night less dark. There are many reasons why this is a problem. Animals sleep less because they think it is still daytime. Birds that fly to warmer countries in the autumn need to see the moon and stars to find their way, but light pollution makes this difficult. Insects and birds in cities often fly towards lights at night, knock into buildings and die. Light pollution is also bad for us. It can stop us sleeping and give us headaches. Also, we don’t see the same sky that people in the past did. This means we almost never see one of the greatest scenes in the world: the millions of stars. Hundreds of thousands of people have never seen it in their lives. However, it is not difficult to do a few things to reduce (减轻) light pollution: we can all turn lights off when we don’t need them and we can cover our windows. If there is less light pollution, we will once again be able to enjoy the beauty of the night sky. 151．Why were the streetlights turned off in Geneva? (no more than 11 words) 152．What helps birds find their way? (no more than 4 words) 153．Please list one way we can reduce light pollution.

This one-meter-high bread was out of the hands of Gong Xin, a Chinese baker who won the first place in the ninth World Bread Competition, also known as “the Bread Olympic Games”, making him the first ever Chinese champion (冠军) of this event. Many foreigners say (A) it is the same as a foreigner taking the first place in a dumpling-making competition in China. After graduating from school, Gong began to learn to make bread. He worked in a bakery. Soon, he found that it could not help realize his dream because he wished to become a top baker. He then left to further his bread-making skills in a famous school. The journey of growing from a common baker to a skilled one took him only two years, but behind the rapid progress were many hours of sweating (汗水) in his free time. For Gong, hard work had produced fantastic skills, but he kept wondering how he could take those skills to the next level, which was the reason why he took part in the competition. As a well-known international bakery competition, the World Bread Competition requires each competitor to make different types of healthy bread with creative ideas. Gong tried a lot day in, day out, finally making a name for himself. A young baker from a small town has grown into a world champion. “Challenges are everywhere. One should have more practice, patience and a deep love for the job. More communication and exchanges about the ideas especially expressing the traditional Chinese culture with other people are also necessary,” he said, adding that when he watched people enjoying and admiring his bread, he got a strong feeling of satisfaction. That is the force to keep him moving forward. 18．What can we infer from the foreigners’ words (A) in Paragraph One? 19．What made Gong the champion of the competition?  (List two points.) 20．根据短文内容，绘制一个思维导图，呈现你对文章的理解。 要求： ①提炼文章主题并归纳至少3个信息要点； ②主题和各要点问逻辑清晰； ③可参考下列图式, 也可自行创作； ④总词数控制在20—30。 【答案】18．It’s hard and unbelievable for Gong to be the champion as a Chinese. 19．①His fantastic skills. ②His desire or progress/winning. 20． 【导语】本文主要介绍了来自中国的面包师龚鑫在第九届世界面包大赛中获得了第一名。 18．根据“Many foreigners say (A) it is the same as a foreigner taking the first place in a dumpling-making competition in China. ”可知许多外国人说这就像一个外国人在中国的包饺子比赛中获得第一名一样，可推知，作为一个中国人，龚要成为冠军是很难的，而且很令人难以置信。故填It’s hard and unbelievable for Gong to be the champion as a Chinese. 19．根据“Soon, he found that it could not help realize his dream because he wished to become a top baker...For Gong, hard work had produced fantastic skills, but he kept wondering how he could take those skills to the next level, which was the reason why he took part in the competition.”可知他发现这无法帮助他实现梦想，因为他想成为一名顶级面包师，对于龚来说，艰苦的训练造就了非凡的技巧，但他一直想知道如何将这些技能提升到一个新的水平，这就是他参加比赛的原因，所以他非凡的技巧和对进步/胜利的渴望，让龚成为了比赛的冠军。故填①His fantastic skills. ②His desire or progress/winning. 20．根据“This one-meter-high bread was out of the hands of Gong Xin, a Chinese baker who won the first place in the ninth World Bread Competition...”可知第一段主要介绍了他是谁以及他的职业；根据“After graduating from school, Gong began to learn to make bread...”可知第二段主要介绍了他学习烘焙的经历；根据“Gong tried a lot day in, day out, finally making a name for himself.”可知第三段主要讲述了他是如何赢得比赛的；根据“Challenges are everywhere.

A dentist can use X-rays to look at teeth. And airport workers use an X-ray machine to check objects before a plane leaves. Nowadays, X-ray technology is widely used in medicine and other fields. X-rays were first discovered by a German scientist, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845 –1923). He found them quite by accident in 1895. One day, he discovered that an unknown kind of radiation (放射线) could hardly pass through hard objects like bones (骨头). Later, Röntgen took a photo of his wife’s hand. It clearly showed her ring and her bones. That was the first X-ray photo in the world. Why is there an “X” in the word X-ray? It’s because Röntgen couldn’t explain exactly how it worked. He just knew that X-rays were new and useful for science. In fact, X-rays soon became an important tool in medicine. With the help of X-rays, doctors could see inside the human body for the first time without surgery (外科手术). Röntgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize (诺贝尔奖) in physics in 1901 for his discovery. When he was asked what he was thinking at the moment of discovery, he replied, “I didn’t think, I investigated (研究).” Röntgen gave away his Nobel Prize money to his university.

And he never took out any patents (专利权) on X-rays, to make sure that the world could freely make use of his discovery.”可知，Röntgen把他的诺贝尔奖金捐给了他的大学。而且他从未为X射线申请过任何专利，以确保世界可以自由地利用他的发现，故可知他是一个无私的人。故填I think he is selfless.

People used to call the mountain Daqueshan, which means bird-hunting mountain. The villagers used to hunt birds on the mountain. Then one year, they couldn’t hear birds singing. People started to worry if migratory birds would return again. In 1984, the Hongtupo Forest Police Station was set up. The officers worked on the mountain, trying to find migratory birds and stop people from hunting them. The job was really difficult. They might lose their way or meet dangerous animals. The officers also tried to tell villagers the importance of protecting birds and other wild animals. They visited the villagers door to door and helped them with farm work. They even organized activities in schools to get their messages across to children. Now, even children know that birds are to be loved. The mountain is greener, the water is clearer, and more and more animals come to live here. It has become a bird-protecting mountain. Many people have opened bed-and-breakfasts (民宿) for birdwatchers. “The village has changed a lot, and we don’t hunt birds anymore,” people say.

Imagine how you will feel if you are able to respect your decisions. You will be determined (坚定的), more creative, more satisfied, and so on. Although many methods could be written about how to respect your decisions and carry them out, the simplest way to start is by deciding to decide and deciding to respect the decisions you make! Yes, it’s as simple as that. Before making a decision, it is a good idea to notice how you feel about what you are considering. Do you feel easy and relaxed about what you are thinking to do? If you decide to do something that doesn’t agree with your inner feelings, you will certainly find it difficult to complete the task that you’ve decided to do. In fact you may not even start it! By making sure that the decision agrees with your values first, you should have no difficulties carrying it out. Respecting your decisions is respecting yourself. If you seldom do what you say, then other people will not trust you, nor will you trust yourself. Very quickly these make you tired, slow and lazy. At this point nearly everything seems like hand work. To respect your decisions is a great quality to have. By giving importance to your time and energy, you will be able to make wise decisions. You will be known as someone who does what they say they will do. You will be highly respected. You will have a powerful and clear mind. You’ll have one of the greatest attributes (特质) needed for success. 1．What will you be like if you respect your own decisions according to Paragraph 1? 2．What should you do before making a decision according to Paragraph 3? 3．Why do others no longer trust you according to Paragraph 4 ? 4．How could you make wise decisions according to the last paragraph? 5．Give a proper title to the passage. 【答案】1．I will be determined, more creative, more satisfied, and so on. 2． I should notice how I feel about what I am considering. 3．Because I seldom do what I say. 4．By giving importance to my time and energy. 5．To respect your decisions. 【导语】本文主要介绍了要尊重自己的决定，这样会变得更坚定、更有创造力、更满意。 1．根据“Imagine how you will feel if you are able to respect your decisions.

In the past, hand writing was an important subject in school. Now, many students sometimes do homework on a computer and turn in their tasks online. Many people think typing (打字) is quick and easy to read, while writing by hand may take longer than typing. But others say writing with a pen and paper is more valuable.

Typing can also make it easier for people to change. Once something is written by hand, you can’t delete it. If you want to make a change, you have to write it all over again.

I had pulled out my old winter coat for another year’s use. It was still in pretty good shape after so many winters’ wear. I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually (不经意地) mentioned it to my daughter one day. She is such a sweet, loving soul that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me a gift of a bright red, brand new, winter’s coat. I put the old one in my closet (壁橱) and started to wear the new coat every day. Each day, though, when I opened my closet something upset me. It seemed a shame that my still good, old coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold, winter days. After a few weeks I took it out and drove to a local charity (慈善机构). I knew that there someone who couldn’t afford a coat might get my old one. I dropped it off and walked out the door. Then I saw a shivering (瑟瑟发抖的) man in only a thin jacket walking in. I wondered if he would end up in my old coat. Then I smiled and went home with a warm heart. My new coat is old now. It is in too bad of shape to even give away to charity. I wonder if I should buy a new one soon but I think I will wait a while. I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find a few more things to give to the charity instead. Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants is to give. Love, after all, brings us the most joy.

Calligraphy(书法), the art of writing, is almost as old as writing itself. In ancient times, written Chinese was first symbols and pictures. Then, they gradually became characters. Later, characters and even full sentences were written on animal bones or shells for communication. With time passing by, a number of written forms appeared. Each had its own local style. In the 3rd century BC, the First Emperor, Qinshihuang, set the same standard for the written characters— “small seal” script. It was first used in his own state of Qin, then in the whole nation. That writing system was very important in uniting(联合) the Chinese people and culture. At the same time, Cheng Miao developed another style called “clerical” script. It used short, straight brush strokes (笔画) to write quickly. By Han times, calligraphers had created a new style known as “regular” script. From the Tang Dynasty, it became the standard form used in government exams. Over the centuries, Chinese artists and people with knowledge saw beauty in the forms of their written language. They turned calligraphy into one of the fine arts, in which calligraphers expressed themselves. In the Tang Dynasty, calligraphy was helpful for a person to get a place in the government.

With the increase of their knowledge and practice, they slowly developed their own styles. The art of calligraphy reached a high point in the 4th century. At that time, calligrapher Wang Xizhi was often regarded as the greatest master. Calligraphy remains a living art form to this day.

Pu Cuifen, a villager from Yunnan Province, experiencedthattwo years ago. “I’ve only seen elephants in a zoo before, not expecting a wild elephant would appear at my doorstep,” said Pu. The elephants were harmful to no one, but had corn and beans on the farm. The villagers lost up to(A)50,000yuan. Earlier than that, villagers would drive away the elephants to protect their crops(庄稼), which made the animals angry and led to human injuries(伤害) or deaths. Now the government has helped to pay the money for the crops damaged(破坏) by elephants. Such things will help protect the interests of farmers, and at the same time avoid the wild animals being hurt by humans. The government has also created “dining halls” for the wild elephants to grow their favorite food, such as elephant grass and bamboo. Villagers now simply leave the elephants alone. “Our corn might get damaged, but we treat them with care and accept them with love.” said Pu. Yunnan Province is not the only example of protecting wild animals. In Xizang, Migmar used to be a hunter(猎人), but now has become a rescuer(营救者) at the wildlife rescue station of Qomolangma. He and his friends take turns to go around to check there’s no trouble or danger for wild animals every day. The wildlife rescue station was set up in (B) 2019.

During this period, they learned to bandage the animals and clean their wounds, and set them free into the wild when they got well again. “Animals don’t talk, but I can feel their trust. We have the responsibility to protect them,” said Migmar. Examples of taking care of wild animals appear more around us. From damage to protection, people see more changing human-wildlife relations. Even the simplest change and action can make a difference to the world. 25．What does “that” refer to(指的是) in Paragraph Two? 26．Which sentence in the passage has the similar meaning to the following one?

It’s even thought that in the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthdays. Here are five rules for a healthy life. 1. Get off the sofa! Sure, it’s comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch TV. But doctors say you should get off the sofa. 要保持健康，你每天至少应走10000步。In the past, people’s jobs required more physical effort. They often had to walk for miles every day. When farmers were working, they were keeping fit at the same time. Think about it: Do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past? 2. Eat healthy food! It’s important to eat food that is fresh and natural, for example, fruit and vegetables. Fast food is not healthy. You should only have it once in a while. Eating too much of the wrong food will harm your health. 3. Rest while you can! When we were babies, we slept for much of the night. Teenagers do not need as much sleep as babies, but it’s important for you to get about eight hours’ sleep a night. At weekends, you’ve got more time, so use it not just for your friends, but for rest too. 4. Don’t worry. Be happy! Many people believe that happiness is important for our general health. Sometimes it is not easy to be a teenager because of the difficulties of school, exams or friendships. If you’re worried about something, talk to your parents or your teacher. 5. Say no to smoking! Yes, you knew I was going to say this! It’s so important. Smoking is not cool. It is dangerous. It harms nearly every part of your body. Think about how your family and friends will feel, and think about what it will do to your health. 36．将文中划线的汉语句子译成英语。 37．从文中找出与下面所给句子意思相近的句子。 If you eat too much of the wrong food, your health will be harmed. 38．将文中划线的英语句子译成汉语。 39．回答问题： How many kinds of difficulties are mentioned in the part “4.
