(2023-2024上·安徽省池州市·期末考试) When Matty Sallin，34，was working on a degree in art and technology at New York University，he got interesting homework in electronic class.He decided to invent an alarm clock. "Everybody has to stand it every day，and it is really unpleasant!"，he says.He asked different people what they would like to be woken up instead of a noisy alarm.A lot of them said，"The smell of bacon（培根肉）". So Sallin and two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock：a wooden box with a pig face and a clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon instead of the sound to wake someone up.He explains，"There's no danger of burning，because I built it carefully.It uses halogen light bulbs（钨卤灯） instead of a fire for cooking and turns off automatically（自动地） after ten minutes." Yes，the clock itself can do it.Just a few easy steps are needed to set the alarm. "What you do is to put some frozen bacon in the night before and set the alarm，"says Sallin. "If you set the alarm for 8：00，it will turn on at 7：50 and slowly cook for ten minutes under the halogen bulbs." he says.Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig. "So instead of an alarm，you get a bacon smell awake，"says Sallin."Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it." When Sallin was a kid，he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions."I wanted to make a lift in my backyard and a special tree house， "he says."But I never really thought I could be called an inventor!" Sallin got an A in the class and went on with other things—but people continue to hear about his invention and email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock. 1.The underlined word it in the second paragraph refers to（指代） ______ . A. homework B. technology C. a new clock D. a noisy alarm 2.According to the passage，we know that ______ . A. it's dangerous to cook bacon for breakfast B. Sallin refused to spend much time on inventions C. people are interested in Sallin's bacon alarm clock D. students at New York University are tired of homework 3.What's the best title for this passage？ ______ A. A Special "Smell"Clock B. Interesting Homework C. A Great Inventor D. The Smell of Bacon 【答案】D、C、A 【解析】（1）代词指代题。根据文中第1段：He decided to invent an alarm clock.（他决定发明一个闹钟。）和第2段：He asked different people what they would like to be woken up instead of a noisy alarm.（他问不同的人他们希望被什么叫醒而不是吵闹的闹铃。）可知，it指代的是吵闹的闹钟。故选D。 （2）推理判断题。根据文中最后1段：but people continue to hear about his invention and email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock.（但人们继续听说他的发明，每天给他发电子邮件，问他在哪里可以买到他的闹钟。）可知，人们对萨林的培根闹钟感兴趣。故选C。 （3）标题归纳题。根据文中第1段：He decided to invent an alarm clock.（他决定发明一个闹钟。）以及第5段：Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig.（然后灯泡关闭，风扇通过猪的鼻子吹出气味。）可知，短文说的是马蒂•萨林的新型闹钟，所以"一种特殊的"气味"钟"作为标题最合适。故选A。 短文说的是马蒂•萨林在纽约大学攻读艺术和技术学位时，发明了一种新型闹钟，使用烤培的培根味道代替传统的嘈杂闹钟声。这个闹钟是一个木盒，有着猪的脸和一个时钟，使用卤素灯泡来烹饪，然后自动关闭。他小时候就喜欢发明，但从未想过自己会被称为发明家。尽管他已经完成了其他事情，但人们每天都在问他哪里可以买到他的闹钟。 5.

(2023-2024上·安徽省阜阳市·期末考试) The adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of the great works by Mark Twain. The book is so interesting. Even today, it is quite popular among kids. Although I am in my thirties, the book remains one of my favorites. After re-reading the book recently, I have learned an important lesson from Tom Sawyer. In our daily lives, we are often given some boring or tiring tasks. What's in your mind when your mom tells you to clean the floor? Have you ever wanted to complain (抱怨)? I think most people have. Tom Sawyer, however, thought "differently" when he was given a boring task. One Saturday morning, Aunt Polly told Tom to paint the fence (篱笆). Tom's friend Ben Rogers happened to walk past. Instead of complaining, Tom told Ben that he felt "excited" about the task. "Only one in a thousand — maybe even two thousand — boys can do this! " Tom said. Tom's words made Ben interested in the task. He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a chance to paint the fence. If Tom had thought about nothing but complaining, he would have had a bad day. This story teaches me a valuable lesson: Complaining is useless. The next time you are given a boring or tiring task, don't complain. Unlike what happens in the story of Tom Sawyer, it is unlikely that someone will come and do the work for you. However, without complaining, you'll feel better and perhaps even do a better job. 1.Who is the writer of The adventures of Tom Sawyer? A. Aunt Polly. B. Ben Rogers. C. Mark Twain. D. Hunk Finn. 2.What do most people want to do when they are given a boring task? A. Refuse it. B. Complain about it. C. Accept it. D. Have it. 3.What did Aunt Polly ask Tom to do in this text? A. Run away. B. Clean the floor. C. Visit Ben. D. Paint the fence. 4.What does the writer learn from Tom Sawyer? A. Refusing is the best choice. B. It is no use complaining. C. Waiting is the only way out. D. Painting the fence is a boring task. 【答案】C、B、D、B 【解析】【文章大意】本文讲述了《汤姆·索亚历险记》的一个片段以及作者从中所学到的宝贵的一课：抱怨是没有用的。 1. 根据“The adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of the great works by Mark Twain.”可知，《汤姆·索亚历险记》是马克·吐温的伟大作品之一。故选C。 2. 根据“In our daily lives, we are often given some boring or tiring tasks. What’s in your mind when your mom tells you to clean the floor? Have you ever wanted to complain (抱怨)? I think most people have.”可知，大多数人被给予无聊的任务时都会抱怨。故选B。 3. 根据“Aunt Polly told Tom to paint the fence (篱笆).”可知，波莉阿姨叫汤姆把篱笆漆一下。故选D。 4. 根据“This story teaches me a valuable lesson: Complaining is useless.”可知，作者学到了一个宝贵的教训：抱怨是无用的。故选B。 10.

The professor put a test paper on each student's desk with the text facing down. She then asked them to turn the paper over and begin. The students were surprised to see no questions, but just a single black dot (圆点) in the center of the page. The professor said. "I just want you to write down what you see on this paper. " The students were confused (困惑的), but did as they were told. At the end of class, the professor took their tests and started reading their answers aloud. Each student tried to describe the black dot — its size, its position on the paper. After the professor finished reading, the class was silent. She started to explain. "Don't worry. I won't grade this test. But I want you to think about something. All of you focused on the black dot on this test and wrote about it, but no one wrote about the white area around the dot. " "Imagine that this paper represents your life. The white area represents all of your life experiences — the black dot just stands for the bad things you've gone through. Life blesses us with many things — loved ones, enjoyable moments, and even wonders from time to time. And yet we are likely to focus on the negative. Our problems and difficulties can beat us.

(2023-2024上·安徽省芜湖市·期末考试) Last year I had a trip with my friend, Nancy. The weather was cloudy except for one night. Nancy and I sat in the field and we felt relaxed. We talked about the fantastic trip, looking at the stars. "It's a pity we don't know which stars we're looking at, Jenny," said Nancy. "I know some of them." I answered. Nancy felt surprised when I finally finished telling her all the names I knew. My interest in stars began when I was eight. My aunt took me to a planetarium (天文馆). A guide showed us the groups of stars and told us stories about how they got their names. The stories were wonderful. Everyone knows we can see the stars better when it's not cloudy, but lots of people don't realize that a bright moon also stops us seeing very much. I always look for the Plough (北斗星), because once I see that, I can find the North Star and other stars. I wanted to learn more about the stars, so I took a course at the club. There are so many lights in the city that we have to go into the countryside to see any stars. I'm planning to make videos about stars in the countryside. I'll post them online for everyone to watch. My greatest dream is to be an astronaut and I wish I could have space travel. 1.How did Nancy feel after Jenny told her the names of stars? A. Relaxed. B. Surprised. C. Angry. D.

(2023-2024上·安徽省芜湖市·期末考试) If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. The book is quite interesting and popular among kids. Even if I am an adult now, the book is still one of my favorites. After reading the book again recently, I have learned an important lesson from Tom Sawyer. In our daily lives, we are often given some boring or tiring tasks. What's in your mind when your mother asks you to do some chores? Have you ever wanted to complain? I think most people have. Tom Sawyer, however, had a different thought when he was given a boring task. One day, Aunt Polly told Tom to paint the fence (篱笆). Tom was doing his job, when his friend Ben Rogers happened to pass by. Instead of complaining, Tom told Ben that he felt "excited" about the task. "Only one in a thousand — maybe even two thousand — boys can do this!" Tom said. Tom's words made Ben interested in the task. He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a chance to paint the fence. If Tom had thought about nothing but complaining, he would have had a bad day painting the fence. This story teaches me a valuable lesson: Complaining is useless. The next time you are given a boring or tiring task, don't complain. Unlike what happens in the story of Tom Sawyer, it is unlikely that someone will come and do the work for you. So, don't complain, and you'll feel better and perhaps even do a better job! 1.Which word do you think best describes Tom? A. Clever. B. Hard-working. C. Lucky. D. Kind-hearted. 2.What's the correct order according to paragraphs 3—4? ①Aunt Polly told Tom to paint the fence.     ②Ben Rogers passed by. ③ Ben gave Tom his apple.      ④Tom began to work. A. ①②③④ B. ①③②④ C. ②①④③ D. ①④②③ 3.What does the writer want to tell us? A. It's important to learn how to paint the fence. B. We should read the story of Tom and his aunt. C. We should be interested in doing tasks. D. It's useless to complain. 【答案】A、D、D 【解析】【文章大意】本文主要讲述了作者重读了《汤姆•索耶历险记》，并从汤姆•索耶那里学到了一个重要的教训，就是抱怨是没有用的。 1. 根据第四段Tom's words made Ben interested in the task. He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a chance to paint the fence. If Tom had thought about nothing but complaining, he would have had a bad day painting the fence.（汤姆的话使本对这项任务感兴趣。他甚至把苹果给了汤姆，这样他就有机会刷篱笆了。如果汤姆除了抱怨什么也不想的话，那么他在粉刷篱笆的时候就会过得很糟糕。）可知，汤姆是聪明的。故选A。 2. 根据第三段One day, Aunt Polly told Tom to paint the fence (篱笆).可知，一天，波莉姨妈叫汤姆去粉刷栅栏；结合Tom was doing his job, when his friend Ben Rogers happened to pass by可知，汤姆正在做他的工作，这时他的朋友本 · 罗杰斯碰巧经过；根据第四段Tomˈs words made Ben interested in the task. He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a chance to paint the fence可知，汤姆的话使本对这项任务感兴趣。他甚至把苹果给了汤姆，这样他就有机会刷篱笆了，所以正确的顺序是①④②③。故选D。 3. 通读全文，尤其是最后一段This story teaches me a valuable lesson: Complaining is useless. （这个故事给我上了宝贵的一课: 抱怨是没有用的。）可知，本文主要讲述了作者重读了《汤姆•索耶历险记》，并从汤姆•索耶那里学到了一个重要的教训，就是It's useless to complain（抱怨是没有用的）。故选D。 16.

At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the people we see on TV and our phones often give us unrealistic (不切实际的) ideas about how our bodies "should" look. The truth is that everybody is different. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our health and self-esteem (自尊). At first, you must have body confidence (信心). Body confidence is when someone accepts and acts kindly towards his or her body. That includes weight and height, appearance (外貌) and even physical disabilities (身体残疾). Jade Parnell, from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is "about being accepting of your body and what it brings for you". If you feel confident about your body, you can look after it well. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and do well in school subjects if you feel confident. Feeling worried about your body could make you do less well at school and even feel depressed (沮丧的). It's important to remember that everybody is different. Treat yourself as kindly as you can. And your best friend can also help you to develop body confidence by telling you that you are prettier than you look. 1.How does the writer start the text? A. By telling a story. B.

(2023-2024上·安徽省合肥市·期末考试) Have you noticed that it is easy to find what you want when you go to the library? For that, you can thank Melvil Dewey. Melvil was born in Adams Center, in 1851. His parents, owned a general store. He was always interested in books and words. That interest continued when he went to Amherst College. In 1872, he began working at the college library. Melvil thought that it was important to be educated and libraries could play a big part in teaching people, so he wanted them to be easy to use. At the time, it was hard for people to use libraries. Books were not organized. Instead, books on the same subject might be in several parts of a library. It was hard to find books on one subject because there was no good way to know which books in a library were about which topics. So he invented a new system of organizing books. That system is called the Dewey Decimal System (DDS). It is so successful that many libraries still use it today. It is an easy way to keep track of and find books people want quickly. Melvil did more than invented the DDS. He wanted libraries and librarians to work together, so he helped found the American Library Association in 1876. He also founded the Library Journal. Melvil did a lot for librarians. At the time, there was no place for a person to learn to be a librarian. So librarians had to try their best to learn on the job. Melvil opened the world's first school for librarians in 1887. He also set up the first traveling library. Today's bookmobiles are based on that library. Melvil Dewey died in 1931, but his work still helps people use libraries today. 1.What is Paragraph 1 mainly about? A. Melvil's school life. B. Melvil's early interest. C. Melvil's home town. D. Melvil's trouble in life. 2.Why was it difficult to use libraries at first? A. There were few libraries in most places. B. There were no librarians to provide services. C. Books weren't placed according to their subjects. D. Few people learned to read or write at that time. 3.Which is the correct order of the events about Melvil? ①He invented a new way to organize books. ②He went to Amherst College. ③He set up the first travelling library. ④ He founded the Library Journal. A. ③④②① B. ①④③② C. ②①③④ D. ②①④③ 【答案】B、C、D 【解析】【文章大意】本文介绍了梅尔维尔•杜威是图书馆界的重要人物，他发明了杜威十进制分类法，使图书馆更易于使用。 1. 根据第一段“His parents, owned a general store. He was always interested in books and words.

(2023-2024上·安徽省池州市·期末考试) When Matty Sallin，34，was working on a degree in art and technology at New York University，he got interesting homework in electronic class.He decided to invent an alarm clock. "Everybody has to stand it every day，and it is really unpleasant!"，he says.He asked different people what they would like to be woken up instead of a noisy alarm.A lot of them said，"The smell of bacon（培根肉）". So Sallin and two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock：a wooden box with a pig face and a clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon instead of the sound to wake someone up.He explains，"There's no danger of burning，because I built it carefully.It uses halogen light bulbs（钨卤灯） instead of a fire for cooking and turns off automatically（自动地） after ten minutes." Yes，the clock itself can do it.Just a few easy steps are needed to set the alarm. "What you do is to put some frozen bacon in the night before and set the alarm，"says Sallin. "If you set the alarm for 8：00，it will turn on at 7：50 and slowly cook for ten minutes under the halogen bulbs." he says.Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig. "So instead of an alarm，you get a bacon smell awake，"says Sallin."Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it." When Sallin was a kid，he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions."I wanted to make a lift in my backyard and a special tree house， "he says."But I never really thought I could be called an inventor!" Sallin got an A in the class and went on with other things—but people continue to hear about his invention and email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock. 1.The underlined word it in the second paragraph refers to（指代） ______ .

Even today, it is quite popular among kids. Although I am in my thirties, the book remains one of my favorites. After re-reading the book recently, I have learned an important lesson from Tom Sawyer. In our daily lives, we are often given some boring or tiring tasks. What's in your mind when your mom tells you to clean the floor? Have you ever wanted to complain (抱怨)? I think most people have. Tom Sawyer, however, thought "differently" when he was given a boring task. One Saturday morning, Aunt Polly told Tom to paint the fence (篱笆). Tom's friend Ben Rogers happened to walk past. Instead of complaining, Tom told Ben that he felt "excited" about the task. "Only one in a thousand — maybe even two thousand — boys can do this! " Tom said. Tom's words made Ben interested in the task. He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a chance to paint the fence. If Tom had thought about nothing but complaining, he would have had a bad day. This story teaches me a valuable lesson: Complaining is useless. The next time you are given a boring or tiring task, don't complain. Unlike what happens in the story of Tom Sawyer, it is unlikely that someone will come and do the work for you. However, without complaining, you'll feel better and perhaps even do a better job. 1.Who is the writer of The adventures of Tom Sawyer? A. Aunt Polly. B. Ben Rogers. C. Mark Twain. D.

There are so many lights in the city that we have to go into the countryside to see any stars. I'm planning to make videos about stars in the countryside. I'll post them online for everyone to watch.

"I'd love short hair." "I'd like to be taller." "I wish I was shorter." At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the people we see on TV and our phones often give us unrealistic (不切实际的) ideas about how our bodies "should" look. The truth is that everybody is different. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our health and self-esteem (自尊). At first, you must have body confidence (信心). Body confidence is when someone accepts and acts kindly towards his or her body. That includes weight and height, appearance (外貌) and even physical disabilities (身体残疾). Jade Parnell, from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is "about being accepting of your body and what it brings for you". If you feel confident about your body, you can look after it well. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and do well in school subjects if you feel confident. Feeling worried about your body could make you do less well at school and even feel depressed (沮丧的). It's important to remember that everybody is different. Treat yourself as kindly as you can. And your best friend can also help you to develop body confidence by telling you that you are prettier than you look. 1.How does the writer start the text? A. By telling a story. B.

Melvil was born in Adams Center, in 1851. His parents, owned a general store. He was always interested in books and words. That interest continued when he went to Amherst College. In 1872, he began working at the college library. Melvil thought that it was important to be educated and libraries could play a big part in teaching people, so he wanted them to be easy to use. At the time, it was hard for people to use libraries. Books were not organized. Instead, books on the same subject might be in several parts of a library. It was hard to find books on one subject because there was no good way to know which books in a library were about which topics. So he invented a new system of organizing books. That system is called the Dewey Decimal System (DDS). It is so successful that many libraries still use it today. It is an easy way to keep track of and find books people want quickly. Melvil did more than invented the DDS. He wanted libraries and librarians to work together, so he helped found the American Library Association in 1876. He also founded the Library Journal. Melvil did a lot for librarians. At the time, there was no place for a person to learn to be a librarian. So librarians had to try their best to learn on the job. Melvil opened the world's first school for librarians in 1887. He also set up the first traveling library. Today's bookmobiles are based on that library. Melvil Dewey died in 1931, but his work still helps people use libraries today. 1.What is Paragraph 1 mainly about? A. Melvil's school life. B. Melvil's early interest. C. Melvil's home town. D. Melvil's trouble in life. 2.Why was it difficult to use libraries at first? A. There were few libraries in most places. B. There were no librarians to provide services. C. Books weren't placed according to their subjects. D. Few people learned to read or write at that time. 3.Which is the correct order of the events about Melvil? ①He invented a new way to organize books. ②He went to Amherst College. ③He set up the first travelling library. ④ He founded the Library Journal. A. ③④②① B. ①④③② C. ②①③④ D. ②①④③ 3. (2023-2024上·安徽省合肥市·期末考试) Wang Yongfu, a retired (退役的) solider, lived in a village with his wife.
