Then the Ghost took off the bandage from its head. And its lower jaws dropped down onto its chest! Scrooge was horrified.

You have worked very hard on it, since. It is a huge chain now!” Scrooge looked at the floor around him. But there was no chain. “Jacob,” he cried. “Old Jacob Marley, explain everything to me!” “I can’t,” the Ghost replied. “I can’t stay long. I have to travel all the time! I can’t rest.

And it clanked its chain. “I had the opportunity to be kind and do good in life. But I did nothing. And now I’m dead, I regret that,” cried the Ghost. “But you were always a good businessman, Jacob,” said Scrooge. “Business!” cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. “The welfare of mankind was my business.

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?”.

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.

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. I did not make a raft that day but swam back with the scissors, knives, and money. I knew the money was useless, but I took it anyway. That night, there was a storm, and when I woke in the morning the ship was gone. The storm had broken it up. I was very pleased that I had worked so hard to get what I could from it. 1．Why did Robinson climb to the top of the hill? A．To find out where he was. B．To meet his new friends.

And when I say “small”, I mean really, really small. Our new home was about the size of a garage (车库). Compared (比较) to the flat where we used to live, it was tiny. We built our tiny house ourselves on a piece of land about two hours’ drive from the city. We used to go there every weekend and during holidays to work on it, but, even so, it took nearly two years to finish. My mum designed the house to include all the basic things. My “bedroom” was built in a space under the roof that I could reach by ladder. They enjoyed growing our own fruit and vegetables and keeping chickens. They were very pleased about not having to pay for power because we could produce our own electricity from the sun. We also collected wood around us to burn for heat. I remember that it took me a few months to get used to living in such a small space. Before we moved from the city, we had to give away most of our things because there wasn’t enough room for them anymore, but now I don’t mind having fewer things. And one thing I love about our tiny home is being able to spend so much more time outside—something I didn’t do in the city very often. And I do a lot more things with my parents, which is great. I don't think I’ll choose “tiny living” for myself in the future, but I’m glad that I’ve had the experience of it. 1．Why does the writer compare his old and new homes in Para.1?

What is so breathtaking about the experience is the out-of-this-world scenes. The rolling sea of clouds at the top of the mountain will remind you how tiny we humans are. The hot spring (温泉) at the foot of the mountain is something you must try after the climb. It will surely help you get refreshed! The amazing thing about the spring is that the colder the temperature gets, the hotter the spring is! Strange, isn’t it? But that’s how nature is —always leaving us amazed. What comes next is the endless series of steps. You can’t help wondering how hard it was for the people then to put all those rocks into place. Though it is the only unnatural thing on your way up the mountain, still it offers a place where you can sit down to rest your aching legs. As the song goes, this long and winding road “will never disappear”. It will always stick in the visitor’s memory. It sure does in mine. While you are in China, Mount Huangshan is a must to visit! 1．What is the passage mainly about? A．A weather record. B．A hot spring bath. C．A composer story.

He has the nicest shed (棚) for them.” Suddenly, Peter jumped up and ran after the goats hurriedly. Heidi followed him as fast as she could. Peter rushed through the middle of the flock (羊群) towards the mountain where any careless goat, if it went too near, might fall off. He saw the curious Greenfinch walking in that direction, and he was only just in time, for she had already jumped to the edge of an abyss (深渊的边缘). Peter threw himself down and caught one of her hind legs. Greenfinch began shouting angrily. She was angry at being held so fast and being stopped from continuing her journey.

She quickly collected some sweet-smelling leaves, held them under Greenfinch’s nose, and said, “Come, come, Greenfinch. You mustn’t be naughty (淘气的)!

Together they led Greenfinch back to the flock. Peter had his goat in safety. He lifted his stick in order to give her a good beating as punishment.

How scared she is!” “She deserves it,” shouted Peter, and again lifted his stick, Then Heidi stood in front of him and cried angrily, “It will hurt her.

As I watched the woman, I thought about the letters my mother wrote and how she must have known an ordinary piece of paper turns into a love letter when a person puts herself into it. Then I remembered the notebook in my bag. I would write the woman a note and give it to her as I exited the train, I decided. I pulled the notebook out of my bag and began writing a letter. When I looked up, the woman was gone. I left the letter in my notebook, unsure of what to do with it now that she would never know that it was meant for her. After I wrote that letter, more letters to other people I observed came marching out of me, one by one, until soon I had filled up the notebook. Back on the train, just a few days later, the plan became clear. I was going to leave the letter I wrote to the woman on the subway for someone else to find. Then I would spread other love letters all over New York City. And once I had set each one in its place, I would write even more. I tried to form a picture in my mind of what would make me pick up a letter if I found it on a random (任意的) subway train or in a coffee shop thinking it might have been for me all along. I settled on something simple: If you find this letter then it’s for you. I wrote those words on my first letter. I folded the letter and placed it behind me. When I got to my stop, I planned to let the letter slip down onto the seat as I walked away. At Grand Cantral Terminal, I waited for the subway doors to open and then stood up as quickly as possible. Rushing through the doors, I kept running faster and faster once my feet hit the platform. I was more nervous when I got farther away from the train, disappearing into the city. During the fall of 2010, I kept leaving letters. In the months that followed, I started my own site, MoreLoveLetters.com, about my project, inspiring others to write and leave letters in their own communities. Now the website connects strangers in need of love letters and those who want to write them. About a year later, a woman wrote to me about her friend Briana, a single mother struggling to pay the rent. I typed out Briana’s story and published it on the website. A week later, I walked away from the post office with a lot of mail and a big idea about human beings: mainly that if you give them something to do, a task, they will show up. At the end of that month, I mailed letters off to Briana. Then, I got a thank-you e-mail from Briana’s friend. “They show you’re not alone and that you’re not struggling for nothing,” she wrote. About all stories, I will always go back to Matt’s from Ohio. He e-mailed me about two years ago. Matt told me he was getting older. His family and he were disconnected. He didn’t have many friends. He was starting to believe he’d leave nothing behind and he’d be forgotten. The message was sent with no return address. There was no way to write back to him, but I hope he reads these words: Matt, I want you to know: You were wrong to think you’d be forgotten. And I was wrong to think people couldn’t walk into our lives and change our histories immediately. Because you did that for me. 1．Why did the author decide to write the strange woman a note? A．Her mother reminded her to do that. B．She preferred to write rather than speak. C．She was going to show love to the woman. D．Her mother wanted to offer her some help. 2．The author started her own site in order to ________. A．call on more people to care for others B．provide people a chance to write letters. C．connect strangers with people writing letters D．show people the importance of her project 3．From the words to Matt, we can learn that ________. A．it’s easy for people to walk into our lives quickly B．the author was influenced by Matt in some ways C．the author’s relatives and friends also forgot him D．Matt was always connected with his family and friends 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Matt has a good relationship with his family and friends again. B．A number of people are willing to make a difference to others. C．The woman the author met on the train received the letter at last. D．People came to Briana’s aid with a generous donation in the end. （23-24九年级上·江苏扬州·期末）Everybody has their own comfort food. I have a long list, and Apple Fritter (油炸馅饼) is at the top. Nothing can deal with my stress quite like a fresh Apple Fritter. One day, my wife planned to spend the day shopping. Thus, I had a whole day to deal with my stress.

I knew we had none in the house, so I had to go out somewhere and get some chocolate before she got home. And I did so. Now I was so happy that my stress was almost gone before I took a bite of that chocolate. Then I slowly chewed and chewed, and before I knew it, that chocolate disappeared. But so did my stress. Later that day, my wife got home. As usual, she kissed me. Then she stopped, “Tell me the truth! You did not have any chocolate today, did you?” “What makes you say that?” I said as nicely as possible. “When I kissed you, I tasted chocolate.

Surprisingly, she always seemed to find a little bit of extra time for us. She would take us over to my aunt’s when she worked as a waitress. We would have to hurry, so my mom would be on time for work. I thought she would hurry off as soon as we arrived at the front gate, but that didn’t happen. Instead, we would sit on the porch (门廊), my mom in her waitress uniform, and talk about what happened that day. “I learned how to write my name!” Larry, my younger brother, would shout. My mom would get paper and a pencil out of her purse and hand it to my brother. “Show me how you do it,” she’d ask. “Do you have enough time to hear what I did today?” I’d ask her. Mom would smile at me, “I’m never too busy for something important like that!” She gave us the gift of time throughout the years. After her retirement (退休), my mom gave the gift of time to my children too. They would ask their grandma if she would play with them, or read them a story. By then my mom had health problems, but she would always nod. Those moments were a wonderful gift that my children still talk about and treasure. In the last few years of her life, I would sit with my mom on the porch. She would listen as I shared all of my hopes, my fears, and my dreams. I asked her if she minded me taking up so much of her free time. “Nonsense,” she’d tell me. “I’m never too busy to spend time with you. It’s one of the greatest joys of my life.” I will always remember those wonderful words and the loving heart behind them. It is a gift my mom gave to me.

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. 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.

It was too expensive for her family to afford one at the time. When she was 10, she saw a young bridegroom (新郎) pass by her house on his way to pick up his bride. He and his friends were carrying six red oil-paper umbrellas, and the image touched her heart. When she was in high school, her physics teacher would arrive with an oil-paper umbrella every time it rained. She and the teacher became good friends. In 1996, Li’s dream of oil-paper umbrellas came true when she started learning how to make them by herself. Two years later, she produced her first one. Of course, it was red. Today, Li is a boss and has her own stores. She enjoys talking to her customers and passing on her skills to her students. “The oil-paper umbrella is like my lover; it has been with me my whole life and always makes me feel better,” the 58-year-old said. Li’s store in Datong ancient town in Chishui City, Guizhou Province—a town where there is a lot of rain—welcomes many visitors who buy her umbrellas to model in photos, decorate their homes or add to collections, and sometimes even to use for catwalks at shows and performances. Production involves over a hundred individual steps, from cutting the bamboo and threading (穿线) the pieces together, to pasting the paper shade, drying it in the sun and brushing it with oil. The whole process takes between 15 days and several months, depending on the umbrella’s design, and all the work is done by hand. Now Li has two more stores, one in Danzhai in Guizhou and another in Sichuan Province. Of her three children, only her eldest son, who is 36, helps with the business, running the store in Danzhai.

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.

Why? Because he wrote a book named Protect Our Planet:Take Action with Romario. Romario is a boy from Durban in South Africa. He is famous around the world for his tree planting and beach clean-up projects. He thinks people should learn to protect the environment from a young age. And a book can guide kids with information on how to protect the planet. But when he went to the library to borrow such books, he found most books about that were not easy to read, especially for children at his age. So Romario made a big plan—to write his own book. He hoped the book could help more children find a way to protect the environment. Then it was time to carry out the plan.

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. I did not make a raft that day but swam back with the scissors, knives, and money. I knew the money was useless, but I took it anyway. That night, there was a storm, and when I woke in the morning the ship was gone. The storm had broken it up. I was very pleased that I had worked so hard to get what I could from it. 1．Why did Robinson climb to the top of the hill? A．To find out where he was. B．To meet his new friends.

And when I say “small”, I mean really, really small. Our new home was about the size of a garage (车库). Compared (比较) to the flat where we used to live, it was tiny. We built our tiny house ourselves on a piece of land about two hours’ drive from the city. We used to go there every weekend and during holidays to work on it, but, even so, it took nearly two years to finish. My mum designed the house to include all the basic things. My “bedroom” was built in a space under the roof that I could reach by ladder. They enjoyed growing our own fruit and vegetables and keeping chickens. They were very pleased about not having to pay for power because we could produce our own electricity from the sun. We also collected wood around us to burn for heat. I remember that it took me a few months to get used to living in such a small space. Before we moved from the city, we had to give away most of our things because there wasn’t enough room for them anymore, but now I don’t mind having fewer things. And one thing I love about our tiny home is being able to spend so much more time outside—something I didn’t do in the city very often. And I do a lot more things with my parents, which is great. I don't think I’ll choose “tiny living” for myself in the future, but I’m glad that I’ve had the experience of it. 1．Why does the writer compare his old and new homes in Para.1?

What is so breathtaking about the experience is the out-of-this-world scenes. The rolling sea of clouds at the top of the mountain will remind you how tiny we humans are. The hot spring (温泉) at the foot of the mountain is something you must try after the climb. It will surely help you get refreshed! The amazing thing about the spring is that the colder the temperature gets, the hotter the spring is! Strange, isn’t it? But that’s how nature is —always leaving us amazed. What comes next is the endless series of steps. You can’t help wondering how hard it was for the people then to put all those rocks into place. Though it is the only unnatural thing on your way up the mountain, still it offers a place where you can sit down to rest your aching legs. As the song goes, this long and winding road “will never disappear”. It will always stick in the visitor’s memory. It sure does in mine.

She looked a little tired and pale. As I watched the woman, I thought about the letters my mother wrote and how she must have known an ordinary piece of paper turns into a love letter when a person puts herself into it. Then I remembered the notebook in my bag. I would write the woman a note and give it to her as I exited the train, I decided. I pulled the notebook out of my bag and began writing a letter. When I looked up, the woman was gone. I left the letter in my notebook, unsure of what to do with it now that she would never know that it was meant for her. After I wrote that letter, more letters to other people I observed came marching out of me, one by one, until soon I had filled up the notebook. Back on the train, just a few days later, the plan became clear. I was going to leave the letter I wrote to the woman on the subway for someone else to find. Then I would spread other love letters all over New York City. And once I had set each one in its place, I would write even more. I tried to form a picture in my mind of what would make me pick up a letter if I found it on a random (任意的) subway train or in a coffee shop thinking it might have been for me all along. I settled on something simple: If you find this letter then it’s for you. I wrote those words on my first letter. I folded the letter and placed it behind me. When I got to my stop, I planned to let the letter slip down onto the seat as I walked away. At Grand Cantral Terminal, I waited for the subway doors to open and then stood up as quickly as possible. Rushing through the doors, I kept running faster and faster once my feet hit the platform. I was more nervous when I got farther away from the train, disappearing into the city. During the fall of 2010, I kept leaving letters. In the months that followed, I started my own site, MoreLoveLetters.com, about my project, inspiring others to write and leave letters in their own communities. Now the website connects strangers in need of love letters and those who want to write them. About a year later, a woman wrote to me about her friend Briana, a single mother struggling to pay the rent. I typed out Briana’s story and published it on the website. A week later, I walked away from the post office with a lot of mail and a big idea about human beings: mainly that if you give them something to do, a task, they will show up. At the end of that month, I mailed letters off to Briana. Then, I got a thank-you e-mail from Briana’s friend. “They show you’re not alone and that you’re not struggling for nothing,” she wrote. About all stories, I will always go back to Matt’s from Ohio. He e-mailed me about two years ago. Matt told me he was getting older. His family and he were disconnected. He didn’t have many friends. He was starting to believe he’d leave nothing behind and he’d be forgotten. The message was sent with no return address. There was no way to write back to him, but I hope he reads these words: Matt, I want you to know: You were wrong to think you’d be forgotten. And I was wrong to think people couldn’t walk into our lives and change our histories immediately. Because you did that for me. 1．Why did the author decide to write the strange woman a note? A．Her mother reminded her to do that. B．She preferred to write rather than speak. C．She was going to show love to the woman. D．Her mother wanted to offer her some help. 2．The author started her own site in order to ________. A．call on more people to care for others B．provide people a chance to write letters.

D．People came to Briana’s aid with a generous donation in the end. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了作者在地铁上写情书并把情书留给陌生人的故事，在这个过程中作者最终建立了一个网站，也给更多人带去了新的改变。 1．细节理解题。根据“As I watched the woman, I thought about the letters my mother wrote and how she must have known an ordinary piece of paper turns into a love letter when a person puts herself into it.

What in the world am I going to do without an Apple Fritter? Especially at a time when I can have one behind the back of my wife. I didn’t know what to do and had to drive back home. As I walked into the house thinking about this, I got a fresh cup of coffee, went to my easy chair, and tried to think through this problem. Then I thought of chocolate. But I'm not allowed to have chocolate in our house because, according to my wife, chocolate gives her headaches. I knew we had none in the house, so I had to go out somewhere and get some chocolate before she got home. And I did so.

Raising four kids on her own was a full time job in itself, but she also worked outside. Surprisingly, she always seemed to find a little bit of extra time for us. She would take us over to my aunt’s when she worked as a waitress. We would have to hurry, so my mom would be on time for work. I thought she would hurry off as soon as we arrived at the front gate, but that didn’t happen. Instead, we would sit on the porch (门廊), my mom in her waitress uniform, and talk about what happened that day. “I learned how to write my name!” Larry, my younger brother, would shout. My mom would get paper and a pencil out of her purse and hand it to my brother. “Show me how you do it,” she’d ask. “Do you have enough time to hear what I did today?” I’d ask her. Mom would smile at me, “I’m never too busy for something important like that!” She gave us the gift of time throughout the years. After her retirement (退休), my mom gave the gift of time to my children too. They would ask their grandma if she would play with them, or read them a story. By then my mom had health problems, but she would always nod. Those moments were a wonderful gift that my children still talk about and treasure. In the last few years of her life, I would sit with my mom on the porch. She would listen as I shared all of my hopes, my fears, and my dreams. I asked her if she minded me taking up so much of her free time. “Nonsense,” she’d tell me. “I’m never too busy to spend time with you. It’s one of the greatest joys of my life.” I will always remember those wonderful words and the loving heart behind them. It is a gift my mom gave to me.

It was too expensive for her family to afford one at the time. When she was 10, she saw a young bridegroom (新郎) pass by her house on his way to pick up his bride. He and his friends were carrying six red oil-paper umbrellas, and the image touched her heart. When she was in high school, her physics teacher would arrive with an oil-paper umbrella every time it rained. She and the teacher became good friends. In 1996, Li’s dream of oil-paper umbrellas came true when she started learning how to make them by herself. Two years later, she produced her first one. Of course, it was red. Today, Li is a boss and has her own stores. She enjoys talking to her customers and passing on her skills to her students. “The oil-paper umbrella is like my lover; it has been with me my whole life and always makes me feel better,” the 58-year-old said. Li’s store in Datong ancient town in Chishui City, Guizhou Province—a town where there is a lot of rain—welcomes many visitors who buy her umbrellas to model in photos, decorate their homes or add to collections, and sometimes even to use for catwalks at shows and performances. Production involves over a hundred individual steps, from cutting the bamboo and threading (穿线) the pieces together, to pasting the paper shade, drying it in the sun and brushing it with oil. The whole process takes between 15 days and several months, depending on the umbrella’s design, and all the work is done by hand. Now Li has two more stores, one in Danzhai in Guizhou and another in Sichuan Province. Of her three children, only her eldest son, who is 36, helps with the business, running the store in Danzhai. Her daughter is married in Beijing, while her youngest son is a Grade-3 high school student. Li hopes he will learn art and help her make umbrellas in the future. 1．When did Li make her first oil-paper umbrella? A．In the late 1960s. B．In the 1970s. C．In 1996.

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.
