It’s called April Fool’s Day, a day when people traditionally like to try to make a fool of someone else and laugh at them. 愚人节 4 月 1 日是要小心的日子，否则你很容易被别人欺骗。这一天被称为愚人节，人们传统上喜欢试图愚弄别人并嘲笑他们。 There are lots of explanations about its origins , but one of them is connected with the change in the calendar in the 16th century, which meant that 1st April was no longer the beginning of the year. Those who still celebrated the New Year on 1st April were called fools. 关于它的起源有很多解释，但其中之一与 16 世纪日历的变化有关，这意味着 4 月 1 日不再是一年的开始。那些仍然在 4 月 1 日庆祝新年的人被称为愚昧人。 There are lots of tricks you can play on your friends. For example, you could wear a black sweater and pull a piece of white thread through it, so that people try to pull it off. You could change the time on someone’s alarm clock so that they’re late for work. Or glue a coin to the floor and see how many people try to pick it up. 你可以对你的朋友玩很多技巧。例如，你可以穿一件黑色毛衣，从里面拉一根白线，这样人们就会试着把它拉下来。您可以更改某人闹钟上的时间，以便他们上班迟到。或者把硬币粘在地板上，看看有多少人试图捡起来。 All these are simple jokes which you might play on one other person or a few people.

The book Famous Composers by Nathan Haskell Dole was found by a person in Hennepin County when he was tidying up his mother's books. Melvin Carter, mayor of St. Paul, joked that the late fees（滞纳金） would have been up to $36, 000 if the library asked for them. “But luckily, there is no late fee in this library now, Carter laughed.

The check-out slip（纸条）in the back cover showed the book was last checked out in 1919. It also showed the book was checked out in 1914 when the library was housed in Market Hall. At the time, the Central Library was still being built. When Market Hall burned down in1915. two-thirds of the library's collection was lost. The other one-third was checked out. So the library workers believed that the book was probably one of the lucky few that survived. Even though the book finally made its way home after more than a century, it will more than likely enter its retirement（退休） period because of its delicate condition.

I was so tired after losing my job. I was getting ready to go to bed when the phone rang. This could not be good. I thought that may be one of my family members who might need help, but the voice was hardly familiar. "Linda, this is Lesley." I didn't know Lesley very well. She was the owner of a grocery store in our community. I hardly went to the store because the groceries in the store were too expensive for us. We didn't often speak with each other, but to say we were friends was not just right. I asked what she needed. Perhaps something really awful caused her to phone someone for help, even someone she didn't really know. Instead, she asked me, "Do you have room for a turkey? In your fridge? "We had lots of room in our fridge, and in fact, too much." Sure, "I answered." Did your fridge break down? ""Not exactly, "Lesley replied, "but I will explain when I arrive." Minutes later came a huge truck. Lesley stepped down and explained the lease of the grocery store that her husband serviced had run out and that they had to empty all the fridges that night. They thought it was a pity to throw away all this good food so they decided to drop off food to anyone she could think of. Lesley noticed our fridge was pretty empty, she asked to fill it up. Our home was their last stop and anything left would have to be put in our fridge. An hour later, everything finished. I asked her, "When will you come back for all this?" Lesley laughed, "We don't want it back. It is yours! Thanks for helping us out!" Then they waved goodbye and drove away. For helping them out? We opened our fridge door. Inside were all expensive foods we never bought but often wanted to try. We were struggling to buy groceries, but it was not something we shared with anyone. However, our needs were met in an unexpected way, by that call, "Do you have room for a turkey?" The next day, I was surprised to find out that Lesley's groceries store was still open. In fact, the lease was not true. I felt really warm and deeply moved when I thought of the way they helped us. 16．We may infer the writer feel __________ when she heard the phone ringing.

A dog called Romeo has been pulled from the rubble (瓦砾) in an earthquake, more than nine days after he was given up for dead. On August 24, 2016, a terrible earthquake happened in Italy. The earthquake made millions of people lose their houses, killing at least 250 people and hurting more than 360 people. Romeo's owners were sleeping on the second floor of their house when the earthquake happened. They managed to get out. But Romeo, who was sleeping on the first floor, was trapped inside. They tried their best to search for Romeo, but failed. After a few hours, they had to leave the village for their own safety. All hope of finding Romeo alive seemed to disappear until Friday evening. That night the couple returned to their home with a group of firemen. Almost as soon as they came into the village, Romeo heard their voices and began barking(吠叫). The couple couldn't believe their ears. The firemen began digging at once where the barking was coming from and got to the dog. It was lucky that the dog was in pretty good condition. He looked like he had just woken from a short sleep. Appearing completely relaxed, the dog drank his first drops of water in more than 230 hours from a bottle held by one of the firemen. As it became clear that he didn't get hurt, the fireman put him down. When Romeo's owners saw him, they couldn't help crying. "We thought we had lost him forever!" said one of Romeo's owners. Then Romeo left happily with his owners who had given up hope of finding him alive. The discovery of Romeo also cheered those firemen. "We believe there must be many more that are still alive. We'll try our best to save them. " 19．What does the underlined word "trapped" mean? A．Stored. B．Poured. C．Caught. D．Chased. 20．Why did Romeo's owners leave the village without Romeo? A．Because they didn't like Romeo. B．Because they forgot Romeo was at home. C．Because they failed to find Romeo. D．Because they thought Romeo ha a run away. 21．From the sentence, "The couple couldn't believe their cars", we can know that ________. A．the couple didn't want to hear from Romeo B．there was something wrong with the couple's ears C．the couple heard the dog barking in their dreams D．the couple probably thought Romeo had already died 22．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Millions of people lost their lives in the earthquake. B．The firemen felt more hopeful after they saved Romeo. C．The couple didn't give up hope of finding their dog all the time. D．The firemen saved Romeo on the fifth day after the earthquake. Passage D It's not easy growing up. Growing up can be a real "pain" for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren't allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel sad, sometimes we are afraid, and sometimes we just don't understand why we can't stay young forever. But we should take a look back on all the hard periods of life with a positive attitude and learn from them. We should realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains! Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains, but we should never let these obstacles keep us from following our dreams. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time. As a young girl, my parents forced me to do so many things that I didn't like. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time, I hated music and I also hated them. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I now realize that my parents and teachers wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves. We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just part of our life. Think about how we would feel if we had no challenges and lived a life like that. Life would be really boring and meaningless. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps on our road to success, we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains! 23．The underlined word "obstacles" in Paragraph 2 means the things that ________. A．make it easy for you to do something B．make it difficult for you to do something C．make you feel happy and relaxed D．make you full of energy the whole day 24．What does the writer now think of what her parents did for her in the past? A．She is angry with them. B．She is unhappy with them. C．She thanks them very much. D．She can't believe them. 25．What would be the best title for this passage? A．No Pains, No Gains B．Growing Pains and Gains C．Growing Up Is a Pain D．Growing Up Is Easy Passage E I once knew a man who was rich in his love for birds, and in their love for him. He lived in a grove full of all kinds of trees. He had no wife or children in his home. He was an old man with blue and kind eyes, and a voice that the birds loved. While he was at work in the grove, the birds came close to pick up the worms(蠕虫) in the fresh earth he dug up. At first, they kept their distance from him, but they soon found he was a kind man, and would not hurt them, but liked to have them near him. They knew this by his kind eyes and voice, which tell what is in the heart. So, day by day their faith in his love grew in them. All the birds of the grove were soon his fast friends. They were on the watch for him, and would fly down from the green tree tops to greet him with their chirp(叽叽喳喳叫). When he had no work to do, he took bread with him, and dropped the pieces on the ground. Down they would dart(俯冲) on his head and feet to catch them as they fell from his hand. He showed me how they loved him. He put a piece of bread in his mouth, with one end of it out of his lips. Down they came like bees at a flower, and flew off with it piece by piece. When they thought he slept too long in the morning, they would fly in and _______. They went with him to church, and while he sang his hymns in it, they sat in the trees, and sang their praises. So the love and trust of birds were a joy to the old man all his life long. 26. The birds didn't get close to the old man at first because _______. A．he often hurt them B．he disliked them near him C．they knew little about him D．they got no food from him 27. The underlined word "faith" in Paragraph 3 means"_______" in Chinese. A．承诺 B．祝福 C．希望 D．信任 28. Which of the following is the best expression to fill in the blank in the passage? A．follow him here and there B．wake him up with their chirp C．drop pieces of bread on him D．look for worms in the house 29. It can be learnt from the story that _______. A．birds are human's best friends B．everyone gets on well with animals C．one can get love in return for giving love D．a person who loves birds is warm-hearted Passage F April 1st seems to be very popular with reporters. They have really an important job of 　30． 　 (report) the news to us. For 364 days a year they need to be serious. But for one day a year they allow 　31． 　 (they) to forget this responsibility for a few moments and have a bit of fun. trying 　32． 　 ( fool) their readers or viewers. There are many great examples of funny April Fool's Day jokes from newspapers and TV. For example, in 1981 The Daily Mail had a story about a Japanese 　33． 　 (run) in the London marathon. The man was still running for days after the race 　34． 　 (finish). The story explained that the athlete had misunderstood the rules of the race. Instead of running for 26 miles, he 　35． 　 (believe) he needed to run for 26 days. The paper said that he was 　36． 　 (lose) somewhere in the middle of the British countryside. . It's not just reporters who enjoy trying to fool us. Many big companies 　37． 　 (join) in the fun over the years. In 1998 a famous fast food restaurant used a whole page ad in one of the daily 　38． 　 (newspaper) to tell us it was going to sell a hamburger for left- handed people. They said it would be 　39． 　 (easy) for left-handed people to eat. So when people tell you not to believe everything you read in the newspapers, they might be right, especially on April 1st! Passage H On a cold winter day, many years ago, a French art teacher named Pierre Chevalier got on a train in Lyon to go to Paris. When he started his trip, he didn't know that it was the beginning of almost 40 years of accidents and near-death experiences During the trip, the train came off the rails and fell into the icy river, killing12 passengers. Chevalier managed to swim back to the riverside. He had a broken leg and he needed treatment for shock, but was very happy to be alive. Two years later, Chevalier was on a plane from Paris to Moscow when adoor suddenly opened and he fell out. A few minutes later, the plane crashed; 27people were killed. Chevalier woke up in a hospital. The doctors told him he had been lucky—he'd landed in a haystack(干草堆). He only had minor injuries. A few years later, he was hit by a bus, but again had no major injuries. Then a year after that, he was driving on a mountain when he saw a truck coming straight at him. He drove the car off the road, jumped out, landed in a tree —and watched his car explode 100 meters below. If he hadn't jumped out, and if that tree hadn't been there, he would have died. "There are two ways you can look at it, "Chevalier said. "I'm either the world's unluckiest man, or the world's luckiest. "When a reporter asked Chevalier what he thought, he chose the"luckiest". How does his story end?Two years ago, aged 71, Chevalier bought his first lottery ticket in 50 years . …and won more than 2 million. Chevalier said he was going to enjoy his life from then on, and told reporters that he wanted to buy a house, a car and a speedboat, and get married. After this, a TV station in America said they wanted him to make an advertisement. At first he accepted, but then he changed his mind. Chevalier said he wouldn't fly to Los Angeles for the filming, because he didn't want to push his luck. Who knows?If he had accepted the invitation, maybe he would have had another accident. But Mr. Chevalier is a lucky man. If he'd had another accident, he probably would have survived that too! 40．When did Chevalier's history of accidents begin? . 41．Why was he not killed when he fell out of the plane? . 42．How badly hurt was Chevalier when the bus hit him? . 43．Why did he decide not to fly to America? . 44．Give the passage a proper title. 　 . 　 Passage I 假如你所在中学的校刊近期开辟英文专栏，征集发生在大家身边的感人故事。请根据表格中的提示，给该专栏投稿。 事件的过程 1）在一个寒冷的早晨，你买早餐时看到前面的女孩买了面包和牛奶； 2）女孩要离开时，发现树下有一个年老的乞丐，他看上去又冷又饿； 3)女孩走到乞丐旁，把食物递给了他； 4)乞丐向女孩道谢，女孩微笑着离开。 你的感受 你很感动…… 参考词汇：乞丐beggar 感动be moved 要求：1）词数：80~100； 2）开头已给出，不计入总词数； 3）要点齐全，行文连贯，可适当发挥。 On a cold morning, while I was . . . . . . . . . . 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 12 Life is full of unexpected. 人与自我：生活与学习——学校生活与个人感受。身心健康，抗挫能力，珍爱生命的意识。 目录 内容 板块一 话题短语小知识 板块二 话题经典小故事 板块三 话题时文阅读 板块四 话题题型训练 话题短语小知识 · It is important to eat food that is fresh and natural, for example, fruits and vegetables.Fast food is not healthy.

It’s entertaining to try to guess which stories are true and which are not. 特别是，媒体经常试图让人们相信一些不真实的事情。报纸每年都会发布一些荒谬的故事，尽管其中一些实际上是真实的。尝试猜测哪些故事是真实的，哪些不是，这很有趣。 And one of the most famous hoaxes ever was broadcast by the BBC in 1957! A very serious news programme called Panorama reported on the spaghetti harvest in Switzerland, and showed pictures of farmers picking spaghetti from trees! Hundreds of people were taken in and wrote to the BBC asking how to grow their own spaghetti. 有史以来最著名的骗局之一于 1957 年由 BBC 播出！一个非常严肃的新闻节目叫做 Panorama 报道了瑞士的意大利面收成，并展示了农民从树上采摘意大利面的照片！数百人被收留并写信给 BBC，询问如何种植自己的意大利面。 文章生词短语 · get tricked by someone 被某人欺骗 · traditionally adv. 传统上,传说上 · make a fool of someone 愚弄某人 · laugh at 愚弄某人 · explanation n. 解释, 说明 说明某事缘由的言语、事实、情况等 · origin n. 起点；来源 出身，血统 · connected with 与…相关 · no longer 不再 · trick n. 戏法，把戏 计谋，诡计，花招 诀窍，技巧，技艺 vt. 哄骗；欺骗 · thread n. 线；细线 线索，思路 vt. 将(针、线等)穿过… · pull off 赢得；脱下；努力实现 · so that 因此,以至于, 以便 · attempt to 试图做某事; 试图; 尝试; 企图; · fool n. 愚人, 傻瓜 vt. & vi. 愚弄, 耍弄 欺骗 vi. 开玩笑 · claim vt. 声称, 断言 (灾难等)使失踪或死亡 需要, 值得 vt. & vi. 对…提出要求, 索取n. 主张, · in particular 尤其, 特别 · publish vt. 发表；出版；公布 vi. 出版；发行；刊印 · ludicrous adj. 荒唐可笑的,滑稽可笑的 · entertaining adj. 有趣的;娱乐的;使人愉快的 · harvest n. 收获；产量；结果 vt. 收割；得到 vi. 收割庄稼 时文阅读 01—图书借出100多年后重返图书馆 A library book checked out（借出） more than 100 years ago has finally been returned to the St. Paul Public Library in Minnesota, the US. The book Famous Composers by Nathan Haskell Dole was found by a person in Hennepin County when he was tidying up his mother's books. Melvin Carter, mayor of St. Paul, joked that the late fees（滞纳金） would have been up to $36, 000 if the library asked for them. “But luckily, there is no late fee in this library now, Carter laughed. John, a worker at the library, examined the book and discovered several markings that may tell more about this book's journey. The check-out slip（纸条）in the back cover showed the book was last checked out in 1919. It also showed the book was checked out in 1914 when the library was housed in Market Hall. At the time, the Central Library was still being built. When Market Hall burned down in1915. two-thirds of the library's collection was lost. The other one-third was checked out. So the library workers believed that the book was probably one of the lucky few that survived. Even though the book finally made its way home after more than a century, it will more than likely enter its retirement（退休） period because of its delicate condition. The St. Paul Public Library will hold onto the book. "It has reached a point where it's not just an old book—it's an artwork. It has a little bit of history to it, " John said. 1.What can we know about the returned book? A. It came out 200 years ago. B. It was borrowed by a man. C. It was found by accident. D. It was written by a famous composer. 2.What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The borrowing history of the book. B. The big fire in the library. C. The writing background of the book. D. The building process of the library. 3.What does the underlined word“ delicate "probably mean in Chinese? A.易损的 B.柔和的 C.精美的 D.熟练的 4.How will the library deal with the book? A. Lend it as usual. B. Sell it as an artwork. C. Keep it in the library. D. Return it to the reader. 参考答案： 一本在100多年前借出的书被归还给了圣保罗公共图书馆。该图书馆表示会好好保存这本书，因为这不仅是一本旧书，更是一件艺术品。 1.C细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，一个人在整理他母亲的书时发现了这本书。也就是说，这本书是偶然被发现的。 2.A 段落大意题。通读第三段可知，本段主要讲述了这本书在1914年和1919年的两次借阅记录，并且这本书很可能是幸免于1915年那场火灾的文学作品之一，故本段主要介绍了这本书的借阅历史。 3.A词义猜测题。根据上文可知，这本书100多年前就开始被借阅了；再结合画线词前的“it will more than likely enter its retirement period”可知，这本书非常可能要进入退休期了，故推知这是因为它现在容易损坏。 4. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The St. Paul Public Library will hold onto the book.”可知，圣保罗公共图书馆将保存这本书。 时文阅读 02—意外的邀请 When Johnny Agar and his father Jeff Agar received the invitation to compete in the famous Ironman World Champion-ship in Kona, Hawaii,they couldn't believe their ears. Begnaud is a reporter of CBS Mornings. He first introduced the Agar family to the world last November. Recently he met Johnny and his father again to show the life-changing moment. They received the exciting news from the famous football player Peyton Manning,one of Johnny's favorite stars. “Youguys are unbelievable and a true inspiration," Manning told the Agars in a video message.“On behalf of(代表)Ironman, I am so glad to share with you that you have been invited to the2024 Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. Congratulations and good luck! I'll be standing by you the whole way.” Their journey to the Ironman World Championship has been a long one. Johnny, now 29 years old,was born with cerebral palsy(脑瘫),which makes it difficult for him to walk and talk. With the support of his father,Johnny began an unusual journey of sports.“I'm not a fan of swimming, biking or running,which is perfect for triathlon(铁人三项)，”Jeff said. “This probably wouldn't be in the top 100 things I'd choose to do. I'm not doing it because I love it. This is Johnny's dream and I'm giving him the legs and the power to do it.” For the races, they must swim 2.4 miles,bike112 miles and run 26.2 miles in 17 hours. They now have several months to train.“When I hopefully walk across that finish line,I'm going to put all the energy that I have,”Johnny said. “It's going to be really, really special for me.” 1.I How did Johnny Agar and his father feel when they received the invitation?

He hates swimming,biking or running. C. He has 100 things he wants to do with Johnny. D. He wants to improve Johnny's illness through the triathlon. 【答案】  Johnny Agar出生时患有脑瘫，这使他走路和说话都很困难。在父亲的支持下，他开启了一段特殊的运动之旅。如今，父子二人收到了2024铁人三项世界锦标赛的邀请。 1. A 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，当JohnnyAgar和他的父亲收到参加在夏威夷举行的著名的铁人三项世界锦标赛的邀请时，他们简直不敢相信自己的耳朵。由此可推知，收到比赛邀请时，Agar父子感到很惊讶。 2.B 细节理解题。根据第二段前两句“Begnaud is a reporter of CBS Mornings. He first introduced the Agar family to the world last November.”可知，Begnaud是CBS Mornings的记者；去年11月，他首次将Agar一家介绍给了全世界。由此可知，Begnaud报道了Johnny的故事。 3.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中Manning说的话中的“I am so glad to share with you that you have been invited to the 2024 Ironman World Championship in Hawaii"可知，Manning 录制这段视频是为了邀请Agar父子参加2024年在夏威夷举行的铁人三项世界锦标赛。 4.A 推理判断题。根据第四段中Jeff说的话可知，Jeff对铁人三项并没有很感兴趣，只不过这是儿子的梦想，Jeff要给他“双腿”和力量去做这件事。由此可推知，Jeff很支持儿子的梦想。 话题题型训练板块 Passage A Billy Ray Harris was homeless.

I was so tired after losing my job. I was getting ready to go to bed when the phone rang. This could not be good. I thought that may be one of my family members who might need help, but the voice was hardly familiar. "Linda, this is Lesley." I didn't know Lesley very well. She was the owner of a grocery store in our community. I hardly went to the store because the groceries in the store were too expensive for us. We didn't often speak with each other, but to say we were friends was not just right. I asked what she needed. Perhaps something really awful caused her to phone someone for help, even someone she didn't really know. Instead, she asked me, "Do you have room for a turkey? In your fridge? "We had lots of room in our fridge, and in fact, too much." Sure, "I answered." Did your fridge break down? ""Not exactly, "Lesley replied, "but I will explain when I arrive." Minutes later came a huge truck. Lesley stepped down and explained the lease of the grocery store that her husband serviced had run out and that they had to empty all the fridges that night. They thought it was a pity to throw away all this good food so they decided to drop off food to anyone she could think of. Lesley noticed our fridge was pretty empty, she asked to fill it up. Our home was their last stop and anything left would have to be put in our fridge. An hour later, everything finished. I asked her, "When will you come back for all this?" Lesley laughed, "We don't want it back. It is yours! Thanks for helping us out!" Then they waved goodbye and drove away. For helping them out? We opened our fridge door. Inside were all expensive foods we never bought but often wanted to try. We were struggling to buy groceries, but it was not something we shared with anyone. However, our needs were met in an unexpected way, by that call, "Do you have room for a turkey?" The next day, I was surprised to find out that Lesley's groceries store was still open. In fact, the lease was not true. I felt really warm and deeply moved when I thought of the way they helped us. 16．We may infer the writer feel __________ when she heard the phone ringing.

This is even true for a small pet dog. A dog called Romeo has been pulled from the rubble (瓦砾) in an earthquake, more than nine days after he was given up for dead. On August 24, 2016, a terrible earthquake happened in Italy. The earthquake made millions of people lose their houses, killing at least 250 people and hurting more than 360 people. Romeo's owners were sleeping on the second floor of their house when the earthquake happened. They managed to get out. But Romeo, who was sleeping on the first floor, was trapped inside. They tried their best to search for Romeo, but failed. After a few hours, they had to leave the village for their own safety. All hope of finding Romeo alive seemed to disappear until Friday evening. That night the couple returned to their home with a group of firemen. Almost as soon as they came into the village, Romeo heard their voices and began barking(吠叫). The couple couldn't believe their ears. The firemen began digging at once where the barking was coming from and got to the dog. It was lucky that the dog was in pretty good condition. He looked like he had just woken from a short sleep. Appearing completely relaxed, the dog drank his first drops of water in more than 230 hours from a bottle held by one of the firemen. As it became clear that he didn't get hurt, the fireman put him down. When Romeo's owners saw him, they couldn't help crying. "We thought we had lost him forever!" said one of Romeo's owners. Then Romeo left happily with his owners who had given up hope of finding him alive. The discovery of Romeo also cheered those firemen. "We believe there must be many more that are still alive. We'll try our best to save them. " 19．What does the underlined word "trapped" mean? A．Stored. B．Poured. C．Caught. D．Chased. 20．Why did Romeo's owners leave the village without Romeo? A．Because they didn't like Romeo. B．Because they forgot Romeo was at home. C．Because they failed to find Romeo.

A．the couple didn't want to hear from Romeo B．there was something wrong with the couple's ears C．the couple heard the dog barking in their dreams D．the couple probably thought Romeo had already died 22．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Millions of people lost their lives in the earthquake. B．The firemen felt more hopeful after they saved Romeo. C．The couple didn't give up hope of finding their dog all the time. D．The firemen saved Romeo on the fifth day after the earthquake. 【答案】19．C 20．C 21．D 22．B 【解析】【分析】主要讲了生活中充满了意想不到的事情。这甚至适用于小型宠物狗。一只名叫罗密欧的狗在地震中被从瓦砾中救出，这只狗因死亡而被遗弃了九天多。 19．细节题。根据前文Romeo's owners were sleeping on the second floor of their house when the earthquake happened. They managed to get out. But Romeo, who was sleeping on the first floor地震发生时，罗密欧的主人正在二楼睡觉。他们设法逃走了。但是罗密欧睡在一楼，可知罗密欧被困里面，所以trapped意思是caught，被困，故选C。 20．细节题。根据They tried their best to search for Romeo, but failed. After a few hours, they had to leave the village for their own safety.可知他们尽力寻找罗密欧，但失败了。几个小时后，为了自己的安全，他们不得不离开村子，故选C。 21．细节题。根据前文All hope of finding Romeo alive seemed to disappear until Friday evening.直到周五晚上，找到罗密欧的希望似乎都消失了，可知他们认为罗密欧很可能死了，故选D。 22．细节题。根据The discovery of Romeo also cheered those firemen. "We believe there must be many more that are still alive. We'll try our best to save them. " 罗密欧的发现也让消防队员们欢欣鼓舞。“我们相信肯定还有很多人活着。我们将尽最大努力拯救他们。”，可知在消防员拯救罗密欧后他们感到更有希望的，故选B。 Passage D It's not easy growing up. Growing up can be a real "pain" for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren't allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel sad, sometimes we are afraid, and sometimes we just don't understand why we can't stay young forever. But we should take a look back on all the hard periods of life with a positive attitude and learn from them. We should realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains! Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains, but we should never let these obstacles keep us from following our dreams. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time. As a young girl, my parents forced me to do so many things that I didn't like. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time, I hated music and I also hated them. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I now realize that my parents and teachers wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves. We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just part of our life. Think about how we would feel if we had no challenges and lived a life like that. Life would be really boring and meaningless. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps on our road to success, we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains! 23．The underlined word "obstacles" in Paragraph 2 means the things that ________. A．make it easy for you to do something B．make it difficult for you to do something C．make you feel happy and relaxed D．make you full of energy the whole day 24．What does the writer now think of what her parents did for her in the past?

A．No Pains, No Gains B．Growing Pains and Gains C．Growing Up Is a Pain D．Growing Up Is Easy 【答案】23．B 24．C 25．B 【解析】【分析】大意：本文主要是告诉我们不要惧怕成长的烦恼，只要有正确的态度，成长的烦恼完全可以成为成长的收获。 23．词义猜测题。根据划线词后面keep us from following our dreams阻止我们追逐梦想，可知，阻止我们追梦的应该是困难，选项B句意符合。故选B。 24．细节理解题。细节理解题根据But looking back now, lam so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music Lessons.现在回顾起来，我很高兴父母鼓励我上音乐课 ，可知作者回想起过去为作者做的事情，作者是很感激的，选项C符合题意。故选C。 25．主旨大意题。根据lf we realize that these pains are just small bumps(碰撞) on our road to success,we wiI realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!如果这些痛苦只是成功道路上的小碰撞，我们就会意识到我们成长的痛苦实际上是我们成长的收获，选项B符合。故选B。 Passage E I once knew a man who was rich in his love for birds, and in their love for him. He lived in a grove full of all kinds of trees. He had no wife or children in his home. He was an old man with blue and kind eyes, and a voice that the birds loved. While he was at work in the grove, the birds came close to pick up the worms(蠕虫) in the fresh earth he dug up. At first, they kept their distance from him, but they soon found he was a kind man, and would not hurt them, but liked to have them near him. They knew this by his kind eyes and voice, which tell what is in the heart. So, day by day their faith in his love grew in them. All the birds of the grove were soon his fast friends. They were on the watch for him, and would fly down from the green tree tops to greet him with their chirp(叽叽喳喳叫). When he had no work to do, he took bread with him, and dropped the pieces on the ground. Down they would dart(俯冲) on his head and feet to catch them as they fell from his hand. He showed me how they loved him. He put a piece of bread in his mouth, with one end of it out of his lips. Down they came like bees at a flower, and flew off with it piece by piece. When they thought he slept too long in the morning, they would fly in and _______. They went with him to church, and while he sang his hymns in it, they sat in the trees, and sang their praises.

C 【解析】【分析】文章大意：我曾经认识一个爱鸟的人，他住在小树林里，和鸟儿每日相处，鸟儿对他的爱和信任是他一生中最大的欢乐。 26. 细节理解题。根据At first, they kept their distance from him, but they soon found he was a kind man, and would not hurt them, but liked to have them near him起初，他们与他保持距离，但很快发现他是一个善良的人，不愿伤害他们，而是喜欢他们靠近他，可知一开始鸟儿不了解他，故选C。 27. 词义猜测题。根据They knew this by his kind eyes and voice, which tell what is in the heart他们从他慈祥的眼睛和声音里知道了他的心思，可知是日复一日的，鸟儿们信任了他的爱，故选D。 28. 推理判断题。根据When they thought he slept too long in the morning, they would fly in当他们认为他早上睡得太久时，他们就会飞进来，可知因为觉得应该起床了才飞进来叫醒他，故选B。 29. 推理判断题。通读全文，讲述的是一个人与鸟之间的故事，一开始鸟儿不太信任他，当它们感受到人的善意和爱的时候就完全相信他，再到关心他爱护他，可知付出爱就会有回报，故选C。 Passage F April 1st seems to be very popular with reporters.

When he started his trip, he didn't know that it was the beginning of almost 40 years of accidents and near-death experiences During the trip, the train came off the rails and fell into the icy river, killing12 passengers. Chevalier managed to swim back to the riverside. He had a broken leg and he needed treatment for shock, but was very happy to be alive. Two years later, Chevalier was on a plane from Paris to Moscow when adoor suddenly opened and he fell out. A few minutes later, the plane crashed; 27people were killed. Chevalier woke up in a hospital. The doctors told him he had been lucky—he'd landed in a haystack(干草堆). He only had minor injuries. A few years later, he was hit by a bus, but again had no major injuries. Then a year after that, he was driving on a mountain when he saw a truck coming straight at him. He drove the car off the road, jumped out, landed in a tree —and watched his car explode 100 meters below. If he hadn't jumped out, and if that tree hadn't been there, he would have died. "There are two ways you can look at it, "Chevalier said. "I'm either the world's unluckiest man, or the world's luckiest. "When a reporter asked Chevalier what he thought, he chose the"luckiest". How does his story end?Two years ago, aged 71, Chevalier bought his first lottery ticket in 50 years . …and won more than 2 million. Chevalier said he was going to enjoy his life from then on, and told reporters that he wanted to buy a house, a car and a speedboat, and get married. After this, a TV station in America said they wanted him to make an advertisement. At first he accepted, but then he changed his mind. Chevalier said he wouldn't fly to Los Angeles for the filming, because he didn't want to push his luck. Who knows?If he had accepted the invitation, maybe he would have had another accident. But Mr. Chevalier is a lucky man. If he'd had another accident, he probably would have survived that too! 40．When did Chevalier's history of accidents begin? . 41．Why was he not killed when he fell out of the plane? . 42．How badly hurt was Chevalier when the bus hit him? . 43．Why did he decide not to fly to America? . 44．Give the passage a proper title. 　 . 　 【答案】40．About 40 years ago. 41．Because he landed in a haystack. 42．He had no major injuries. 43．Because he was afraid he would have an accident. 44．The Man with Seven Lives 【知识点】故事阅读类；记叙文 【解析】【分析】本文主要介绍了谢瓦利埃经历了七次事故，但是都幸运地活了下来的故事。 40．细节理解题。根据句子When he started his trip, he didn't know that it was the beginning of almost 40 years of accidents and near-death experiences. 当他开始旅行时，他并不知道这是他近40年事故和濒死经历的开始。可知谢瓦利埃的事故史是大约40年前开始的，故答案为About 40 years ago. 41．细节理解题。根据句子Chevalier woke up in a hospital.
