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 ________. A．acceptable B．different C．impossible D．unnecessary 2．The best choice for ______ in Paragraph 2 is “________”. A．again B．alone C．anyway D．already 3．Where did the writer meet her friends after she arrived in Kavos? A．At the airport. B．At home. C．At a tourist attraction. D．At the hotel. 4．What can you infer(推论) according to Paragraph 4? A．The writer didn’t keep her promise while travelling. B．The writer didn’t go outside when she was in Kavos. C．Something went wrong when the writer was in Kavos. D．The writer and her classmates didn’t enjoy freedom in London. 5．We can learn from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph that the writer’s mom ________. A．now encourages teenagers to travel freely without their parents B．believes it’s useful to warn teenagers about the danger they might face C．is glad to allow the writer to travel again without the presence of an adult D．still worries about the writer’s safety even after she’s returned from a successful trip 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要描述了作者说服自己的父母独自和朋友出门旅行的一次经历。 1．词义猜测题。根据“Of course you can’t. My girl, you are too young to travel without the presence (在场) of an adult.”可知，妈妈认为没有成年人在的情况下作者太小了独自旅行不可能。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“because my friends had flown out the day before”可知，作者的朋友们前一天已经乘飞机走了，故作者是独自一人坐飞机。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“I arrived at the hotel and met my friends at 6 a. m., after a long night of flying.”可知，作者和朋友们在宾馆会面。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“I promised my parents I wouldn’t go out every night. But once you’re there, it just can’t be helped. ”可知，作者本来答应父母晚上不会外出，但是作者并未遵守这个承诺。故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据“Now I’m talking with my mum about a similar journey next year.”可知，作者已经安全到家，但是妈妈并未完全放下心来，故可推测妈妈一直在担心作者的安全问题。故选D。 （23-24九年级上·江苏扬州·期末）Scrooge was trying very hard not to be scared.

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.

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? A．Confident and brave. B．Confident but serious. C．Hard-working but boring. D．Hard-working and hopeful. 2．What can we infer from this passage? A．Dad lost his job like other people. B．I often played basketball at school. C．I learned how to play basketball from Dad. D．Dad wasn’t in high spirit when he got home. 3．Which is the best title for this story? A．A Basketball Match B．Father and Sons C．Shooting with Dad D．Miracle on the Court 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了爸爸工作辛苦，作者通过与爸爸一起打篮球让他开心的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据“It was still light out, and Dad wasn’t home yet. He worked all day cleaning pools.”可知，父亲是努力工作的；根据“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”及“‘Sure,’ he said, opening his eyes and smiling. ‘Why not?’”可推知，父亲在面对许多人因为失业而无法负担清洁游泳池的费用的事情后仍然乐观地接受作者的邀请一起去打篮球，这表明他是一个充满希望的人。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“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”可推知，父亲回到家时心情不太好。故选D。 3．最佳标题题。根据“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.”及全文可知，本文主要介绍了爸爸工作辛苦，作者通过与爸爸一起打篮球让他开心的故事。因此最佳标题为“和爸爸一起投篮”。故选C。 （23-24九年级上·江苏淮安·期末）Jack and Mike were fishermen.

He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited. He thought there might be a chance to escape. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.” “I do,” replied the captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all. Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. Then we set off. When we were about ten meters under the water, the light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colorful. We were going deeper and deeper. At one hundred meters deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed (海藻), and all their “branches” were vertical (垂直的). Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. We walked through this forest for about an hour and I was exhausted. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further. Suddenly, I saw a large sea spider. It was going to attack me. Captain Nemo’s man killed it, but it reminded me that the sea could be as dangerous as it was beautiful. We continued to walk downhill. When we reached 150 meters, it was dark. The sun’s light could not reach this depth. We switched on our lights. Finally, we came to a steep rock wall. It rose in front of us, and we could go no further.

Xiaoyaoyou is one of his representative works. Here are two stories from it. Long time ago, there was a bird called Peng. Its back was as tall as Mount Tai. When it flew, its wings covered the sky like a blanket of clouds. One day, the bird quickly rose high intothe sky and flew towards the South Sea. When its wings hit the surface of the water, the water went up three thousand li. When its wings flapped, they made a storm that went ninety thousand li. It would fly or half a year before it reached the South Sea. Some little birds saw it. They couldn’t understand and even laughed at it. They said “What does it think it is doing? When we fly up, we can only go a few meters before we come down again. How is it possible to cover a distance of ninety thousand li?” As we can see, a person’s understanding is often limited by his or her ability. Hui Shi was a friend of Zhuangzi. After he became Prime Minister (宰相）of Wei, Zhuangzi wanted to pay him a visit. Someone, told Hui Shi, “Zhuangzi is coming to Wei because he wants to take your place as Prime Minister.” Hui Shi was very afraid. He wanted to stop Zhuangzi and searched for him for three days. Soon, Zhuangzi came. “Have you heard of a bird called Yuan Chu in the south?” he asked Hui Shi. “Every time it flies, it will rest only on the wutong trees, eat only the bamboo fruits, and drink only the spring water as sweet as fine wine. Once, an owl caught a rotten (腐烂的) mouse. When Yuan Chu flew past, the owl looked up and said, ‘No way!’ Now, are you telling me ‘no way’ because you think I want to be Prime Minister of Wei?” 1．According to the story, what can we learn about the bird Peng? A．It could fly very high in the sky. B．It lived on the top of Mount Tai. C．It could swim very fast in the sea. D．It looked like blanket in the sky. 2．When some little birds saw Peng flying, they ________.

A．he made up his mind to get the position B．he took no interest in the position at all C．Hui Shi should give up the position D．Hui Shi had a bigger dream than he 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 【导语】本文介绍了庄子的哲学故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“One day, the bird quickly rose high into the sky and flew towards the South Sea.”可知，它在天空中可以飞得很高，所以A选项正确。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据“Some little birds saw it. They couldn’t understand and even laughed at it.”可知，它们无法理解，甚至嘲笑它。C选项“觉得鹏很蠢”符合，故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第二个故事“Every time it flies, it will rest only on the wutong trees, eat only the bamboo fruits, and drink only the spring water as sweet as fine wine. Once, an owl caught a rotten (腐烂的) mouse. When Yuan Chu flew past, the owl looked up and said, ‘No way!’ Now, are you telling me ‘no way’ because you think I want to be Prime Minister of Wei?”可知，庄子通过讲述一种名为Yuan Chu的鸟和猫头鹰之间的故事，表达了自己对魏国宰相的位置毫无兴趣。故选B。 （23-24九年级上·江苏徐州·期末）The latest Go Jiangsu trip began at the Xuzhou Museum on September 21 with a group of 13 foreigners from 11 countries.

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? A．To show that flats are better than houses. B．To make it clear how small his new home is. C．To say living in different homes is usual for him.

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!

Daniel shut the door behind him. “I’m looking for her pig.” “Aunt Kim has a pig?” asked Evelyn, wide-eyed. “She didn’t show it to me.” Daniel and Evelyn were cousins. They were at Grandma’s house for a family get-together. Right now, people were listening to each other play music on the front porch (门廊). Daniel said. “Aunt Kim asked me to bring her pig down to the porch. She said she always plays the guitar with it.” “Oh, her pig must be like my reading teacher’s dog at school. When I’m reading to Coco, it’s easier.” Evelyn smiled. “What’s her pig’s name?” “She called it Lucky. She said it was pink, and she’d left it on her bed. But it wasn’t there.” Evelyn said, “Pigs like to cat. Maybe somebody’s giving Lucky a snack in the kitchen.” But the kitchen was empty of pigs and people. Just to be sure, they opened the pantry door and looked under the table. They went on looking for Lucky inside the house. They checked around sofas and chairs and bookcases. “Here, Lucky!” But they couldn’t find the pig. Evelyn crossed her arms. “I don’t think Lucky is in somebody else’s bedroom. The doors were all closed. Wouldn’t you see a pig coming in when you were going out?” “But Lucky is little. Aunt Kim told me she had looked in her purse, but the pig wasn’t there,” said Daniel. “She keeps a pig in her purse? Lucky must be really small,” Evelyn said. “Are you sure it wasn’t in Aunt Kim’s room?” “My cat hides under beds sometimes. Maybe Lucky does, too.” Daniel said. He led the way back upstairs. On his hands and knees, he lifted the blue and white quilt’s (被子) edge. “No pig here.” Meanwhile, Evelyn saw something pink and plastic on Aunt Kim’s quilt. It was shaped almost like a triangle (三角形). “Daniel, did Aunt Kim ask you to get her guitar pig? Or did she say guitar pick?” Her cousin shrugged. “It was hard to hear her, because Dad and Uncle Mike were playing their fiddles (小提琴). What’s a guitar pick?” Evelyn held up the pink triangle. “Yesterday, before your family got here, Aunt Kim played the guitar for me. She was using this. I think it’s called a guitar pick.” Daniel tilted his head. “Well, it is pink, and it was on her bed...” The fiddle music was over when the cousins walked onto the porch. Aunt Kim was talking to Grandma. Before the cousins could say anything, Aunt Kim said, “Oh thanks, you two! I really don’t like playing without my lucky guitar pick.” Evelyn handed it over, and Aunt Kim played a few times. “I hope it wasn’t hard to find.” “It was just where you said,” said Daniel, looking at Evelyn. She laughed so hard that her braids bounced. 1．How did Evelyn feel when Daniel said Aunt Kim told him to look for her pig? A．Relaxed. B．Excited. C．Surprised. D．Scared. 2．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Evelyn had a dog called Coco. B．Daniel misheard Aunt Kim’s words. C．Evelyn hid the pig in the room.

Or did she say guitar pick?”和Aunt Kim说的话“Oh thanks, you two! I really don’t like playing without my lucky guitar pick.”可知，Daniel将Aunt Kim说的“guitar pick”错听成了“guitar pig”。故选B。 3．细节理解题。通读全文可知，正确的顺序应为：在 Daniel一家到来之前，Aunt Kim为Evelyn弹奏过吉他 (e)，Aunt Kim告诉Daniel她把吉他拨片落在了床上 (b)，让Daniel帮她找，Daniel把吉他拨片“guitar pick”错听成了“guitar pig”，当Daniel正在Aunt Kim的房间找的时候，碰到了Evelyn (a)，于是她和Daniel一起去厨房找 (c)，后来直到Evelyn在Aunt Kim的被子上发现了一个粉色的塑料材质的东西 (d)，他们才恍然大悟。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文围绕Daniel将Aunt Kim说的“guitar pick”错听成“guitar pig”展开，因此D项“The guitar pig mystery”最适合。故选D。 （23-24九年级上·江苏南京·期末） People never stop looking for an explanation on what they lose and gain in life. 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?

B．Paterson started writing novels as a teenager. C．Paterson is good at writing in simple language. D．Paterson usually ends her stories with a happy ending. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了一部小说《仙境之桥》及其作者凯赛琳·帕特森。 1．推理判断题。根据“In 1977, Bridge to Terabithia (《仙境之桥》) was published, offering a new answer.”以及全文的内容可知，本文介绍了一部小说《仙境之桥》，由此可推断这是一个书评，故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“Like other boys in his class, Jesse Aarons’ dream is to become the fastest runner in fifth grade”以及“But on the first day of school, a girl crosses over to the boys’ side of the playground and outruns everyone”可知，Leslie跑得比Jesse更快，故选B。 3．词义猜测题。根据“With endless imagination and optimism, Leslie brings happiness to Jesse, who has been lonely and blue.”可知，Leslie用乐观给孤独忧郁Jesse带来了快乐，所以划线单词与“a feeling that good things will happen”同义，故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“Paterson writes novels for teenagers, so their language is not hard for Chinese students.”可知，Paterson为青少年写小说，所以它们的语言对中国学生来说并不难，由此可知，Paterson善于用简单的语言写作，故选C。 （23-24九年级上·江苏扬州·期末）“That Tom is going to make a lot of trouble.

Stay here and wait.”He finished weighing all the other sacks, and then turned to Tom. “Come here,” said Legree, “I want to give you a better job than picking cotton, and you can start tonight: take this woman and whip her—you know how.” “I’m sorry, Master,” said Tom. “I can’t do it.” Legree whipped Tom across his face and then hit him with his fists many times. “There!” he said. “Now will you tell me you can’t do it?” “Yes, Master,” said Tom, with blood running down his face. “I will work night and day, but I will never whip another person.” “I bought you, and you’re mine, body and soul,” he said, kicking Tom. “My soul isn’t yours, Master! You can’t buy it!” “We’ll see,” said Legree. “Sambo, Quimbo, give this dog lesson.” It was late at night, and Tom lay bleeding alone, among pieces of broken machinery. He heard a noise. “Who’s there? Please, give me some water!” It was Cassy. She helped him drink and then she cleaned his wounds and put something soft under his head. Tom felt better. “Now,” said the woman, “that’s the best I can do for you. You don’t know anything about this plantation. I do. I arrived here five years ago. There’s no law here. We are ten miles from any other plantations. No one will know if Legree burns you alive or cuts you to pieces.” “Oh, Jesus!” said Tom.“Cassy, you and Emmeline must try and run away. Legree is dangerous for you, and you are both young.” ——Uncle Tom’s Cabin 1．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Tom was kicked by Legree. b. Tom refused to whip others. c.

D．Patient and generous. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文选自《汤姆叔叔的小屋》，讲述了汤姆被奴隶主毒打的事情。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“Slowly the tired slaves came into the room for the weighing of the sacks.”可知汤姆进入房间为了给麻袋称重；第三段“First Legree weighed Tom’s sack, Martha’s sack was next.”可知首先称的是汤姆的麻袋其次是玛莎的麻袋；根据“I will work night and day, but I will never whip another person.”可知汤姆拒绝逼迫其他人；根据“he said, kicking Tom.”可知莱格里打了汤姆；根据“that’s the best I can do for you. You don’t know anything about this plantation. I do.”可以推测凯西告诉汤姆关于殖民的一些事。所以顺序应该为ecbad。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据前文“‘I bought you, and you’re mine, body and soul,’ he said, kicking Tom.”可知，莱格里要教训汤姆。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“Legree whipped Tom across his face and then hit him with his fists many times.”和“I will work night and day, but I will never whip another person.”可知，Tom不答应鞭打Martha，说明他在帮助Martha；Tom宁愿自己被教训得也不鞭打Martha，说明他很勇敢。所以Tom是乐于助人、勇敢无畏的。故选A。 （23-24九年级上·江苏宿迁·期末）One night, John came into the stable, calling,“Wake up, Beauty!” He put my saddle and bridle on and rode up to the front door of the house.

I hurried to turn on the light, only to see a thief run out of the window. I supposed the thief had stolen something. So I looked around and found that Mum’s necklace was missing.” Mr Mason smiled and asked, “You sat with your back to the window and the TV was towards the window, right?” “Yes, Dad,” Justin answered.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Robert became angry, and with loud and rude words went toward the place where the sounds came. The words all came back to him in the same angry tone. He then went into the bushes, and looked for the boy who, as he thought, was mocking (嘲弄) him; but he could find nobody anywhere. When he went home, he told his mother that some boy had hidden himself in the wood, for the purpose of mocking him. “Robert,” said his mother, “You are angry with yourself alone. You heard nothing but your own words.” “Why, mother, how can that be?” said Robert. “Did you never hear an echo?” asked his mother. “An echo, dear mother? No, ma’am. What is it?” “I will tell you,” said his mother. “You know, when you play with your ball, and throw it against the side of a house, it bounds back to you.” “Yes, mother,” said he, “and I catch it again.” “Well,” said his mother, “If I were in the open air, by the side of a hill or a large barn, and should speak very loud, my voice would be sent back, so that I could hear again the very words which I spoke.” “That, my son, is an echo. When you thought someone was mocking you, it was only the hill before you, echoing, or sending back, your own voice.” “The bad boy, as you thought it was, spoke no more angrily than yourself.

He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited. He thought there might be a chance to escape. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.” “I do,” replied the captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all. Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. Then we set off. When we were about ten meters under the water, the light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colorful. We were going deeper and deeper. At one hundred meters deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed (海藻), and all their “branches” were vertical (垂直的). Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. We walked through this forest for about an hour and I was exhausted. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further. Suddenly, I saw a large sea spider. It was going to attack me. Captain Nemo’s man killed it, but it reminded me that the sea could be as dangerous as it was beautiful. We continued to walk downhill. When we reached 150 meters, it was dark. The sun’s light could not reach this depth. We switched on our lights. Finally, we came to a steep rock wall. It rose in front of us, and we could go no further. I thought that this must be Crespo Island. ——20, 000 Leagues Under the Sea 1．Why didn’t Ned come with us to go hunting? A．There might be no chance to escape. B．He preferred the sea to being on land.

Xiaoyaoyou is one of his representative works. Here are two stories from it. Long time ago, there was a bird called Peng. Its back was as tall as Mount Tai. When it flew, its wings covered the sky like a blanket of clouds. One day, the bird quickly rose high intothe sky and flew towards the South Sea. When its wings hit the surface of the water, the water went up three thousand li. When its wings flapped, they made a storm that went ninety thousand li. It would fly or half a year before it reached the South Sea. Some little birds saw it. They couldn’t understand and even laughed at it. They said “What does it think it is doing? When we fly up, we can only go a few meters before we come down again. How is it possible to cover a distance of ninety thousand li?” As we can see, a person’s understanding is often limited by his or her ability. Hui Shi was a friend of Zhuangzi. After he became Prime Minister (宰相）of Wei, Zhuangzi wanted to pay him a visit. Someone, told Hui Shi, “Zhuangzi is coming to Wei because he wants to take your place as Prime Minister.” Hui Shi was very afraid. He wanted to stop Zhuangzi and searched for him for three days. Soon, Zhuangzi came. “Have you heard of a bird called Yuan Chu in the south?” he asked Hui Shi. “Every time it flies, it will rest only on the wutong trees, eat only the bamboo fruits, and drink only the spring water as sweet as fine wine. Once, an owl caught a rotten (腐烂的) mouse. When Yuan Chu flew past, the owl looked up and said, ‘No way!’ Now, are you telling me ‘no way’ because you think I want to be Prime Minister of Wei?” 1．According to the story, what can we learn about the bird Peng?

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.

Daniel shut the door behind him. “I’m looking for her pig.” “Aunt Kim has a pig?” asked Evelyn, wide-eyed. “She didn’t show it to me.” Daniel and Evelyn were cousins. They were at Grandma’s house for a family get-together. Right now, people were listening to each other play music on the front porch (门廊). Daniel said. “Aunt Kim asked me to bring her pig down to the porch. She said she always plays the guitar with it.” “Oh, her pig must be like my reading teacher’s dog at school. When I’m reading to Coco, it’s easier.” Evelyn smiled. “What’s her pig’s name?” “She called it Lucky. She said it was pink, and she’d left it on her bed. But it wasn’t there.” Evelyn said, “Pigs like to cat. Maybe somebody’s giving Lucky a snack in the kitchen.” But the kitchen was empty of pigs and people. Just to be sure, they opened the pantry door and looked under the table. They went on looking for Lucky inside the house. They checked around sofas and chairs and bookcases. “Here, Lucky!” But they couldn’t find the pig. Evelyn crossed her arms. “I don’t think Lucky is in somebody else’s bedroom.

It was shaped almost like a triangle (三角形). “Daniel, did Aunt Kim ask you to get her guitar pig? Or did she say guitar pick?” Her cousin shrugged. “It was hard to hear her, because Dad and Uncle Mike were playing their fiddles (小提琴). What’s a guitar pick?” Evelyn held up the pink triangle. “Yesterday, before your family got here, Aunt Kim played the guitar for me. She was using this. I think it’s called a guitar pick.” Daniel tilted his head. “Well, it is pink, and it was on her bed...” The fiddle music was over when the cousins walked onto the porch. Aunt Kim was talking to Grandma. Before the cousins could say anything, Aunt Kim said, “Oh thanks, you two! I really don’t like playing without my lucky guitar pick.” Evelyn handed it over, and Aunt Kim played a few times. “I hope it wasn’t hard to find.” “It was just where you said,” said Daniel, looking at Evelyn.
