When I asked my mum and dad if I could go to Kavos with some of my friends for a week, the last thing I thought they would say was “yes”. “There is nothing to discuss,” my dad barked, “Of course you can’t. My girl, you are too young to travel without the presence (在场) of an adult. It’s completely out of question.” My mum just went on and on about all of the possible dangers. So I tried to change their minds. I told them,“If you were worried about the possibility of me falling off a wall and dying in Kavos, then why weren’t you also worried about the possibility of the same thing happening to me here in London?”. Finally, they agreed—unwillingly. My mum took me to the airport. I had to fly because my friends had flown out the day before. I arrived at the hotel and met my friends at 6 a. m., after a long night of flying. After having left my luggage in my room, I explored the attractions with my friends. Everyone spoke English and everywhere looked like a cheap American film set. It was just what we all needed after a long year of busy study. I promised my parents I wouldn’t go out every night. But once you’re there, it just can’t be helped. Every one of us wanted to make the most of our week of freedom. To be honest, I think we did get a bit too crazy. I still wonder if my parents were happy with their decision. But I did have a wonderful holiday. I think the experience should make my parents realize that it is time for them to let go. I got home safely at last. So did my friends. Now I’m talking with my mum about a similar journey next year. She is speechless for a moment, then she cries, “My alarm bells (警钟) have already started ringing.” 1．The underlined phrase “out of question” probably means ________.

He worked all day cleaning pools. My brother and I spent as much of the day as we could on the basketball. Holding a ball and sending it into the air and waiting for it to drop into the basket felt like magic—all the problems of the world seemed to go away. Dad once told me he felt pretty much the same way about cleaning pools. It was like being a magician, he said, turning the water from cloudy to clear. Dad came home and stood a moment by the side of the car, and for a moment he closed his eyes. “Many people couldn’t afford to clean their pools anymore because of losing their jobs.” Dad said. “Want to shoot (投篮) a few balls, Dad?” I asked, knowing how much he loved basketball. “Sure,” he said, opening his eyes and smiling. “Why not?” My brother passed the ball to him, and Dad caught it as if catching a ball was as natural to him as breathing. Dad used to play basketball in high school, but that was a long time ago. I love watching Dad shoot. Each of his shots is perfect so that the ball drops cleanly through the rim (篮筐). It is one of my favorite sounds. After Dad warmed up and said he was ready to start. Dad held the ball in both hands between his knees, bent (弯曲) his legs, and looked up at the basket. It looked like he was a chicken getting ready to lay an egg. By some miracle (奇迹) the basketball dropped straight into the basket. “What a shot!” Dad shouted. “Looks like I’ve still got the touch!” He did a little victory dance, and he smiled in a way that I’d never seen him smile in a long time. As it got darker, each of us took shots on the court (球场).  “What about another game?” my brother asked, even though it was almost too dark to see the ball. “Maybe tomorrow,” Dad answered. “I think your mom is waiting.” I knew how rare it would be for Dad to find time to play with my brother and me lately. I wished we could do this more often. The time he spent shooting baskets with us cheered him up. When he was happy it felt like everything fitted into place, including the basketball, which dropped through the net without even touching the rim. 1．According to the passage, which words can best describe the father?

Was I on a continent or an island? Were there people? Were there wild animals? From the top of the hill, I could see that I was on an island. The sea was all around me, and I could see no other land. I saw no sign of people on the island, nor any wild animals. There were a lot of birds, but I did not know what type of birds they were. I shot a large bird, but its meat was terrible. I could not eat it. I returned to the raft (木筏) and made a small hut with the wood I got from the ship. It was not very strong, but I was afraid of wild animals attacking me during the night. It was almost low tide again, so I swam back to the ship and brought back another raft of valuable things. I got some nails and axes and a grindstone to keep the axes sharp. I also got some iron bars, a lot of clothes, and some more guns. I found a sail and a hammock. I made a new raft and brought everything to shore. When I returned, I saw an animal like a cat sitting on one of the boxes. It was not afraid of me. I gave it some food. It ate the food and walked into the forest. I made a tent with the sail and brought everything valuable into it. Then, I made a circle around it with boxes and pieces of wood to stop animals or people from attacking me during the night. Every day, at low tide, I went back to the ship and got more things. I had a lot of rope, and I took all the sails. I was surprised to find more food and gladly brought that back to shore as well. Once, the raft tipped (倾斜) near the shore, and everything fell into the water. However, the water was not deep there, and I managed to save most of my things. It was very hard work. On the twelfth day, I found some scissors and knives as well as some money. While I was on the ship, the wind began to blow, and I was afraid that I would not be able to get back to the shore.

Humbug!” Probably one of the most beloved Christmas stories in history, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol has it all: heroes, villains, ghosts, time travel, long-lost love, and a happy ending. The story centers on Scrooge, a rich businessman. Scrooge used to be a cold, greedy, mean, old man! The cold within him froze his old face. It made his eyes red and his thin lips blue. And it spoke out in his unkind voice. His money was his life. He hated Christmas and expressed his dislike with “Bah, humbug”. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge is led through different stages of his life by three ghosts. The Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and youth. As a young man, he loses Belle’s love to his greed. The Ghost of Christmas Present takes him to see how others are celebrating Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come never speaks and silently takes Scrooge on a tour of the misery that will fall on him and Tiny Tim. Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so scared. After their visits, Scrooge is changed into a kinder, gentler man. He spreads Christmas cheer to one and all. He never sees the Ghosts again. And people always say, “Mr. Scrooge knows how to celebrate Christmas, better than any other man on Earth.” Scrooge has the power to change the future with his present actions, and Dickens tries to send the message to the reader: if Scrooge can change, then so can anyone. ——Taken from A Christmas Carol 1．Why does Scrooge dislike Christmas at the beginning of the story?

But Ma said, “As I’ve been practising so long, it’s hard to give up I believe I will play better if I persist in practising.” In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the Central Conservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing.

When I asked my mum and dad if I could go to Kavos with some of my friends for a week, the last thing I thought they would say was “yes”. “There is nothing to discuss,” my dad barked, “Of course you can’t. My girl, you are too young to travel without the presence (在场) of an adult. It’s completely out of question.” My mum just went on and on about all of the possible dangers. So I tried to change their minds. I told them,“If you were worried about the possibility of me falling off a wall and dying in Kavos, then why weren’t you also worried about the possibility of the same thing happening to me here in London?”. Finally, they agreed—unwillingly. My mum took me to the airport. I had to fly because my friends had flown out the day before. I arrived at the hotel and met my friends at 6 a. m., after a long night of flying. After having left my luggage in my room, I explored the attractions with my friends. Everyone spoke English and everywhere looked like a cheap American film set. It was just what we all needed after a long year of busy study. I promised my parents I wouldn’t go out every night. But once you’re there, it just can’t be helped. Every one of us wanted to make the most of our week of freedom. To be honest, I think we did get a bit too crazy. I still wonder if my parents were happy with their decision. But I did have a wonderful holiday. I think the experience should make my parents realize that it is time for them to let go.

He worked all day cleaning pools. My brother and I spent as much of the day as we could on the basketball. Holding a ball and sending it into the air and waiting for it to drop into the basket felt like magic—all the problems of the world seemed to go away. Dad once told me he felt pretty much the same way about cleaning pools. It was like being a magician, he said, turning the water from cloudy to clear. Dad came home and stood a moment by the side of the car, and for a moment he closed his eyes. “Many people couldn’t afford to clean their pools anymore because of losing their jobs.” Dad said. “Want to shoot (投篮) a few balls, Dad?” I asked, knowing how much he loved basketball. “Sure,” he said, opening his eyes and smiling. “Why not?” My brother passed the ball to him, and Dad caught it as if catching a ball was as natural to him as breathing. Dad used to play basketball in high school, but that was a long time ago. I love watching Dad shoot. Each of his shots is perfect so that the ball drops cleanly through the rim (篮筐). It is one of my favorite sounds. After Dad warmed up and said he was ready to start. Dad held the ball in both hands between his knees, bent (弯曲) his legs, and looked up at the basket. It looked like he was a chicken getting ready to lay an egg. By some miracle (奇迹) the basketball dropped straight into the basket. “What a shot!” Dad shouted. “Looks like I’ve still got the touch!” He did a little victory dance, and he smiled in a way that I’d never seen him smile in a long time. As it got darker, each of us took shots on the court (球场).  “What about another game?” my brother asked, even though it was almost too dark to see the ball. “Maybe tomorrow,” Dad answered. “I think your mom is waiting.” I knew how rare it would be for Dad to find time to play with my brother and me lately. I wished we could do this more often. The time he spent shooting baskets with us cheered him up. When he was happy it felt like everything fitted into place, including the basketball, which dropped through the net without even touching the rim. 1．According to the passage, which words can best describe the father?

I could not eat it. I returned to the raft (木筏) and made a small hut with the wood I got from the ship. It was not very strong, but I was afraid of wild animals attacking me during the night. It was almost low tide again, so I swam back to the ship and brought back another raft of valuable things. I got some nails and axes and a grindstone to keep the axes sharp. I also got some iron bars, a lot of clothes, and some more guns. I found a sail and a hammock. I made a new raft and brought everything to shore.

The same goes for the phrase “Bah! Humbug!” Probably one of the most beloved Christmas stories in history, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol has it all: heroes, villains, ghosts, time travel, long-lost love, and a happy ending. The story centers on Scrooge, a rich businessman. Scrooge used to be a cold, greedy, mean, old man! The cold within him froze his old face. It made his eyes red and his thin lips blue. And it spoke out in his unkind voice. His money was his life. He hated Christmas and expressed his dislike with “Bah, humbug”. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge is led through different stages of his life by three ghosts. The Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and youth. As a young man, he loses Belle’s love to his greed. The Ghost of Christmas Present takes him to see how others are celebrating Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come never speaks and silently takes Scrooge on a tour of the misery that will fall on him and Tiny Tim. Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so scared.

In 1977, Bridge to Terabithia (《仙境之桥》) was published, offering a new answer. Like other boys in his class, Jesse Aarons’ dream is to become the fastest runner in fifth grade. He has been practicing all summer. But on the first day of school, a girl crosses over to the boys’ side of the playground and outruns everyone. That’s not a very good beginning for a friendship, but Jesse and Leslie Burke soon become best friends. With endless imagination and optimism, Leslie brings happiness to Jesse, who has been lonely and blue. Together, they create Terabithia, a magical kingdom in the woods where they act as king and queen. Unfortunately, a terrible thing happens one morning. Jesse hurts his heart. However, this tragedy (悲剧) makes him understand the courage Leslie has given him. Having had an unhappy childhood herself, Katherine Paterson, this book’s author, would usually give her characters a lonely life. Then she would give them rising hope and happiness. But in order to create “ups and downs” and show her own ideas, the US author would take away what those characters had gained, and end the book with a deep theme. Paterson is good at showing characters’ feelings. Readers can feel the sadness when characters lose something beautiful. Paterson writes novels for teenagers, so their language is not hard for Chinese students. Why not try to read the book? 1．What kind of writing is this? A．A poster. B．An email. C．A short novel. D．A book review. 2．What do we know from Paragraph 2? A．Jesse is always optimistic. B．Leslie runs even faster than Jesse. C．Jesse dreams of being a runner in the future. D．Leslie is Jesse’s best friend from kindergarten. 3．What does the underlined word “optimism” mean in this passage?

Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion. Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly. Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself. “After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practising so long, it’s hard to give up I believe I will play better if I persist in practising.” In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the Central Conservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead. Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event. “All my hard work has paid off. I’m proud of standing on the stage today.” 1．How does the writer describe Ma’s difficulties in learning the violin? A．By questioning. B．By listing numbers. C．By offering advice.

Ma needed to feel the teacher hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings over and over again to feel the muscles（肌肉） herself. （学习小提琴更具挑战性。马需要感受老师的手、手臂和背部来学习动作, 并一遍又一遍地听琴弦来感受自己的肌肉。）可知，作者举例说明马学习小提琴的困难。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. （马两岁时因病失明。）第二段She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the"colorful"music through sound and emotion. （她五岁开始学习钢琴, 九岁开始学习小提琴, 通过声音和情感体验"丰富多彩"的音乐。）；第六段“In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the Central Conservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. （2018年, 马有机会跟随中央音乐学院著名音乐人盛源、曹语涵到北京学习音乐。）以及第一段 For 16﹣year﹣old Ma Yifei, the violin performance of the Beijing 2022 Olympic theme song, Snowflake, was her best present for Paralympians（残奥运动员） all over the world.” （对于16岁的马一菲来说, 北京2022年奥运会主题曲《雪花》的小提琴演奏是她送给全世界残奥会运动员的最好礼物。）可知， ④③①②是正确顺序。故选C。 3．词义猜测题。根据第五段“But Ma said, “As I’ve been practising so long, it’s hard to give up I believe I will play better if I persist in practising ”（但马说：“我练了这么久，很难放弃，我相信如果我坚持练习，我会打得更好。”）因此“persist in”意思是坚持Keep on。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event. “All my hard work has paid off. I’m proud of standing on the stage today. ”（马表达了她对在大型活动中表演的兴奋。我所有的努力都得到了回报。我为今天站在舞台上感到骄傲。）可知，熟能生巧。故选C。 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
