四、(山东省青岛市2024-2025学年高二上学期11月期中)阅读理解
Nathanael Lessore’s latest book, King of Nothing, is about growing up. The story is based on his life as a person from Peckham, London, born to French and Madagascan parents.
To Lessore, Peckham is a warm and friendly place where most of his family live, but it hasn’t always had this reputation (名声). In 2001, due to fightings in the area involving young people, there was a “push to get kids off the street” and into community centers. Similarly, in King of Nothing, the main character Anton keeps getting in trouble and his mum makes him join an activity club called the Happy Campers. At first Anton hates it but then he makes an unlikely friend and starts to see the power of a community working together.
Lessore is one of eight children and describes his family as a “big bustle” (place of exciting activity). As a kid, he remembers his mum taking him and his siblings (兄弟姐妹) to the local library to keep them busy. “Little did my mum know she was doing us a huge service because she was putting us in the presence of books.”
Lessore also gets inspired by slang (an informal way of speaking used by a group of local people) he hears on London’s streets. “I don’t travel on public transport with headphones so l can overhear conversations.” If he hears an interesting phrase or word he saves it up and puts it down and constructs them in his book.
In King of Nothing, Anton discovers that what others think of him is not as important as he thought. Lessore repeats this when giving advice to young readers. “Popularity means nothing”. His advice is to read, travel and be kind. The world is so big. There is so much to see. And, just like exploring new places, pursuing writing as a career “is not impossible...it’s achievable”.
4. Why was Anton required to join the Happy Campers?
A. His bad reputation. B. His misbehavior.
C. The community command. D. His poor education.
5. What has a deep effect on Lessore’s success?
A. His growing surroundings. B. His exposure to abundant books.
C. The interest in social activities. D. The influence of his siblings.
6. What can we know about King of Nothing?
A. It comes from a real story. B. It tells about a mother’s struggle.
C. It inspires readers to be writers. D. It stresses the function of the community.
7. What did the author want to convey?
A. Reputation plays an important role. B. Enjoyment comes first.
C. Enrich and fulfill yourself. D. Travel to explore the unseen.

A GIFT FOR GRANDPA
The summer vacation was coming. Jack and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as they thought of visiting their grandparents again.
The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents’ home eagerly. On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with their grandparents.
A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the property was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa. They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandpa was waiting for them joyfully.
Jack and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting excitedly “Grandpa, we are back!”
Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed across his face. Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and that he maybe couldn’t stand up on his own forever. But Grandpa declared stubbornly (倔强地), “I can!” Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way. Mum and Grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened recently.
The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest. Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers. Grandpa was once a great explorer full of wisdom. He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs. The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs… How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom!
But now Grandpa couldn’t get up. This made them worried. “We need to think out a way to cheer him up,” Jack said. “Grandpa is a bird lover, so we can catch him a bird,” Berlin suggested. “But he hates birds being caged!” Jack shook his head.Then a bright idea came to Jack’s mind. “Why not make a cane (拐杖) out of a young tree?!”
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;
Paragraph 1: Berlin thought it was a good idea.__________________________________________________

In King of Nothing, Anton discovers that what others think of him is not as important as he thought. Lessore repeats this when giving advice to young readers. “Popularity means nothing”. His advice is to read, travel and be kind. The world is so big. There is so much to see. And, just like exploring new places, pursuing writing as a career “is not impossible...it’s achievable”.
4. Why was Anton required to join the Happy Campers?
A. His bad reputation. B. His misbehavior.
C. The community command. D. His poor education.
5. What has a deep effect on Lessore’s success?
A. His growing surroundings. B. His exposure to abundant books.
C. The interest in social activities. D. The influence of his siblings.
6. What can we know about King of Nothing?
A. It comes from a real story. B. It tells about a mother’s struggle.
C. It inspires readers to be writers. D. It stresses the function of the community.
7. What did the author want to convey?
A. Reputation plays an important role. B. Enjoyment comes first.
C. Enrich and fulfill yourself. D. Travel to explore the unseen.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. C

A GIFT FOR GRANDPA
The summer vacation was coming. Jack and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as they thought of visiting their grandparents again.
The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents’ home eagerly. On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with their grandparents.
A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the property was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa. They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandpa was waiting for them joyfully.
Jack and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting excitedly “Grandpa, we are back!”
Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed across his face. Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and that he maybe couldn’t stand up on his own forever. But Grandpa declared stubbornly (倔强地), “I can!” Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way. Mum and Grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened recently.
The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest. Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers. Grandpa was once a great explorer full of wisdom. He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs. The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs… How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom!
But now Grandpa couldn’t get up. This made them worried. “We need to think out a way to cheer him up,” Jack said. “Grandpa is a bird lover, so we can catch him a bird,” Berlin suggested. “But he hates birds being caged!” Jack shook his head.Then a bright idea came to Jack’s mind. “Why not make a cane (拐杖) out of a young tree?!”
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

Paragraph 2: Jack and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa._________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Berlin thought it was a good idea. When the two brothers reached an agreement, they quickly ran back to their grandparents’ house, got the tools they needed to make the cane, and ran back to the woods. Jack said, “What kind of tree should we pick for the walking stick?” Berlin thought for a moment and said, “I think we should choose a straight tree, so no knots will scratch Grandpa’s hands.” Jack nodded his head in agreement. They found a straight tree and set to work. They cut the tree down, and with a knife they took the bark off. It was a wonderful tree, which was smooth and was just of the right size (which引导非限制性定语从句). They thought Grandpa would love it.
Jack and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa. When Grandpa took the cane, his hands shook with joy, thinking, “This is made by my grandsons themselves. How precious it is!” Jack said, “Grandpa, we hope this cane will help you stand up and come with us to explore the woods.” Grandpa smiled and decided to give it a try so as not to make his grandchildren disappointed. He held the cane in his right hand and the arm of his chair in his left hand. He stood up with strength on his legs (with复合结构). Everyone was surprised and excited to see Grandpa stand up. At that moment, Jack noticed a tear coming from the corner of his grandma’s eye.
