The day I heard that the Bright Bookstore was closing, I was sad. The bookstore had been in the neighborhood for 50 years, and was a great place where people could connect through their love of books. When I met Old Tim, the store’s owner, he told me it was difficult to run (运营) a traditional bookstore. Most young people preferred reading e-books and more people bought books online. Childhood memories came back to me so clearly. A group of us kids often went to the store. We looked at the new books, or just talked with Tim. We spent hours reading there. Tim encouraged us to share our ideas by writing them on a large board. A few months later, I was back and was surprised to see that the Bright Bookstore was still open for business. It was still old, but inside it was like a different world. In an area, a book reading was going on. Nearby, some readers were sharing their ideas on a screen instead of the large board. Some were reading on computers. It even had a coffee shop selling nice food. Clearly, the Bright Bookstore was in good, creative hands. Tim told me that there were more community events in the coffee shop such as book readings and even concerts and movie nights. The bookstore was turned into a place where the book lovers got together and shared ideas and experiences. “Well, as you can see, technology and creativity have brought my old bookstore into the 21st century! I’m so glad to see that everything I wanted it to offer to the community is still here,” said Tim. No matter how times change, there are always people who love reading. With the development of technology, traditional bookstores should also change in a creative way. 29. What made the writer sad about the old Bright Bookstore? A. No kids read in it. B. It was closing. C. It moved to another place. D. It was old. 30. What did Old Tim want the bookstore to offer? A. A way for the neighbors to sell food. B. A chance for the kids to show their skills. C. A place for the book lovers to read and share. D. A person for the readers to share ideas with. 31. What does the writer want to remind us? A. E-books will take the place of paper books. B. Reading always plays an important role in our life. C. Traditional bookstores will disappear in the future. D. Technology always develops, so people should be creative. 【答案】29. B 30. C 31.

I dropped another pecan (山核桃) into my basket. Then a gentle autumn wind blew some more off the tree. I ran to pick them up. Whew! Pecan picking was hard. My basket was only half full. I was visiting my grandpa’s farm in Kansas, and grandpa sent me into the woods to pick up pecans for us to enjoy later. I wasn’t about to let him down (让他失望). Then something caught my eye: a squirrel (松鼠) picked up a pecan, climbed up a tree and disappeared into a large hole. A moment later, the squirrel climbed down to the ground to pick another pecan. Once again, he took the pecan back to his secret hiding place inside the hollow (洞) of the tree. Not so secret anymore, I thought. I ran over to the tree and found the hollow was filled with sweet pecans. They were right there for the taking. This was my chance. Handful by handful, I took all the pecans from the hollow. Now the basket was full! I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show grandpa all of the pecans I’d collected. “Look, Grandpa,” I shouted, “look at all of the pecans I found!” Grandpa took a look at my basket. “Well, well, how did you find so many, Jimmy?” I told him how I’d followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place. Grandpa congratulated (祝贺) me on finding out something about the squirrel’s habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders (肩). “That squirrel worked very hard to collect his winter food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold?” “I didn’t think about that,” I said. “I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take advantage of someone else’s hard work, even the squirrel’s.” Suddenly I felt as hollow as that old tree. The image (形象) of that hungry squirrel wouldn’t leave my mind. There was only one thing I could do. 32. The writer was proud of himself because _________. A. he was praised by his grandpa B. he found out his grandpa’s secret C. he fed the squirrel in the hollow D. he filled his basket with so many pecans 33.

The writer enjoyed all the pecans with his family. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. An unusual tree. B. The stolen pecans. C. A smart squirrel. D. The magic basket. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者偷了松鼠藏在树洞里的山核桃的故事。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show grandpa all of the pecans I’d collected”可知因为作者的篮子里都是山核桃，所以作者很骄傲。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据“He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders”以及“Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold”可知爷爷没有责备作者，而是耐心地告诉他不应该窃取别人的劳动成果，拿走松鼠的食物，冬天它会挨饿。由此可知，爷爷是善良并且有智慧的。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The image (形象) of that hungry squirrel wouldn’t leave my mind. There was only one thing I could do”可知作者一直想着可能会遭受饥饿的松鼠，因此他将把山核桃放回到洞里，还给松鼠。故选B。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章中讲述了作者把松鼠树洞里的山核桃占为己有，带回家给爷爷看，爷爷通过温和与智慧的方式告诉作者：不应该窃取别人的劳动果实，以选项B“被偷走的山核桃”为标题最合适。故选B。 第二节:阅读还原（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Earth is our home.

Some, like cows and sheep, provide us with food; pets are our friends; other animals work for us. Above all, every animal—big or small—can fill us with a sense of the wonder of the natural world. Unluckily, we don’t always value this. Many animals are endangered because of our actions, and millions of animals in the world are badly treated. World Animal Day reminds us, at least for one day a year, “to celebrate animal life in all its forms” and “to be thankful for the way in which animals enrich（使丰富）our lives.” World Animal Day was started in 1931 in Florence, Italy. It made us pay attention to the problem of endangered animals around the world. It is now celebrated in most countries around the world. The day falls on October 4th every year. All over the world on this day, volunteers raise money for animal centers and social organizations. Museums and zoos organize special events. Schools have also joined animal projects. No matter what is done, the idea is to remind us of the importance of animals and to show us how we could improve our relationship with animals. If you want to take part, you could help an animal or organize a money-raising event for a local charity. The important thing is just taking an active part. We should offer animals as much as they offer us. Animals are important in our lives. They offer us ___41___, friendship, help and a sense of the wonder of the natural world. However, our actions make many kinds of animals in danger, and we treat millions of animals ___42___. World Animal Day reminds us to be thankful to animals.

B Times change! The day I heard that the Bright Bookstore was closing, I was sad. The bookstore had been in the neighborhood for 50 years, and was a great place where people could connect through their love of books. When I met Old Tim, the store’s owner, he told me it was difficult to run (运营) a traditional bookstore. Most young people preferred reading e-books and more people bought books online. Childhood memories came back to me so clearly. A group of us kids often went to the store. We looked at the new books or just talked with Tim. We spent hours reading there. Tim encouraged us to share our ideas by writing them on a large board. A few months later, I was back and was surprised to see that the Bright Bookstore was still open for business. It was still old, but inside it was like a different world. In an area, a book reading was going on. Nearby, some readers were sharing their ideas on a screen instead of the large board. Some were reading on computers. It even had a coffee shop selling nice food. Clearly, the Bright Bookstore was in good, creative hands. Tim told me that there were more community events in the coffee shop such as book readings and even concerts and movie nights. The bookstore was turned into a place where the book lovers got together and shared ideas and experiences. “Well, as you can see, technology and creativity have brought my old bookstore into the 21st century! I’m so glad to see that everything I wanted it to offer to the community is still here,” said Tim. No matter how times change, there are always people who love reading. With the development of technology, traditional bookstores should also change in a creative way. 29. What made the writer sad about the old Bright Bookstore? A. No kids read in it. B. It was closing. C. It moved to another place. D. It was old. 30. What did Old Tim want the bookstore to offer? A. A way for the neighbors to sell food. B. A chance for the kids to show their skills. C. A place for the book lovers to read and share. D. A person for the readers to share ideas with. 31. What does the writer want to remind us? A. E-books will take the place of paper books. B. Reading always plays an important role in our life. C. Traditional bookstores will disappear in the future. D. Technology always develops, so people should be creative. C Plunk (啪)! I dropped another pecan (山核桃) into my basket. Then a gentle autumn wind blew some more off the tree. I ran to pick them up. Whew! Pecan picking was hard. My basket was only half full. I was visiting my grandpa’s farm in Kansas, and grandpa sent me into the woods to pick up pecans for us to enjoy later. I wasn’t about to let him down (让他失望). Then something caught my eye: a squirrel (松鼠) picked up a pecan, climbed up a tree and disappeared into a large hole. A moment later, the squirrel climbed down to the ground to pick another pecan. Once again, he took the pecan back to his secret hiding place inside the hollow (洞) of the tree. Not so secret anymore, I thought. I ran over to the tree and found the hollow was filled with sweet pecans. They were right there for the taking. This was my chance. Handful by handful, I took all the pecans from the hollow. Now the basket was full! I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show grandpa all of the pecans I’d collected. “Look, Grandpa,” I shouted, “look at all of the pecans I found!” Grandpa took a look at my basket. “Well, well, how did you find so many, Jimmy?” I told him how I’d followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place. Grandpa congratulated (祝贺) me on finding out something about the squirrel’s habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders (肩). “That squirrel worked very hard to collect his winter food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold?” “I didn’t think about that,” I said. “I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take advantage of someone else’s hard work, even the squirrel’s.” Suddenly I felt as hollow as that old tree. The image (形象) of that hungry squirrel wouldn’t leave my mind. There was only one thing I could do. 32. The writer was proud of himself because _________. A. he was praised by his grandpa B. he found out his grandpa’s secret C. he fed the squirrel in the hollow D. he filled his basket with so many pecans 33. Which of the following can best describe Grandpa? A. Kind and wise. B. Caring and humorous. C. Shy and friendly. D. Patient and hard-working. 34. What is the possible ending to the story? A. The writer sent the pecans to his neighbors. B. The writer put all the pecans back into the hole. C. The writer hid the pecans in his grandpa’s house. D. The writer enjoyed all the pecans with his family. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. An unusual tree. B. The stolen pecans. C. A smart squirrel. D. The magic basket. 第二节:阅读还原（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Earth is our home. What should we students do to save our Earth? ____36____ Use reusable bags.

Some, like cows and sheep, provide us with food; pets are our friends; other animals work for us. Above all, every animal—big or small—can fill us with a sense of the wonder of the natural world. Unluckily, we don’t always value this. Many animals are endangered because of our actions, and millions of animals in the world are badly treated. World Animal Day reminds us, at least for one day a year, “to celebrate animal life in all its forms” and “to be thankful for the way in which animals enrich（使丰富）our lives.” World Animal Day was started in 1931 in Florence, Italy. It made us pay attention to the problem of endangered animals around the world. It is now celebrated in most countries around the world. The day falls on October 4th every year. All over the world on this day, volunteers raise money for animal centers and social organizations. Museums and zoos organize special events. Schools have also joined animal projects. No matter what is done, the idea is to remind us of the importance of animals and to show us how we could improve our relationship with animals. If you want to take part, you could help an animal or organize a money-raising event for a local charity. The important thing is just taking an active part. We should offer animals as much as they offer us. Animals are important in our lives. They offer us ___41___, friendship, help and a sense of the wonder of the natural world. However, our actions make many kinds of animals in danger, and we treat millions of animals ___42___. World Animal Day reminds us to be thankful to animals.
