They left the busy streets and went to a part of the town Scrooge never visited. It was a terrible place. The streets were dirty, and the smell was very bad. The houses and shops were of the poorest kind. The people were all thin, dirty, and they looked very ill. Everything was ugly.
They came to where an old man sat. He was selling dirty pieces of cloth, smelly old bones, and all kinds of old and useless things. As they watched, two old women and an old man, equally dirty, smelly, and ugly, came into the shop. They carried large bags.
“Come and sit by the fire,” the shopkeeper said. “Tell me what you have to sell me.”
“Nothing a dead man will miss,” the first woman said with a nasty (让人讨厌的) laugh.
“If he wanted to keep them after he was dead, why wasn’t he a good man when he was alive? If he was, he would have someone to look after him. He would not die alone.”
“That’s very true,” said the second woman, putting a few clothes on the floor. “He got the death he deserved.” She pointed at the clothes. “What will you give me for those, Joe?” She asked the shopkeeper, adding, “I did no wrong taking them from the dead man’s house.”
The shopkeeper looked at everything the woman wanted to sell him and put a price on it. Then he added everything up. The final amount was very small.
“That’s not much,” the woman said.
“Take it or leave it,” the shopkeeper said. “I won’t pay a penny (便士) more.”
—Taken from A Christmas Carol

【答案】29.D 30.A 31.B
【导语】本文节选自小说《圣诞颂歌》,介绍了吝啬鬼在一个肮脏贫穷的地方所见的景象。
29.词义猜测题。根据“ ‘If he wanted to keep them after he was dead, why wasn’t he a good man when he was alive? If he was, he would have someone to look after him. He would not die alone.’ ”可知,一位死者在生前的品行不端,不是个好人,所以最终孤独的死去,妇人说他的死是罪有应得,因此划线部分单词意为“应得,应受”,即因为行为或品质而接受的东西。故选D。
30.细节理解题。通读全文可知,先是Scrooge在镇上看见一个老人出售物品,接着女人从死者家中拿走衣物,然后两个老妇女和一个老人在店里展示要销售的东西,并最后以低价卖给了店主,正确顺序是④①③②,故选A。
31.推理判断题。根据“‘If he wanted to keep them after he was dead, why wasn’t he a good man when he was alive? If he was, he would have someone to look after him.

In the game, you play as the Destined One (天命人), a monkey following in the footsteps of the Monkey King on a journey to bring him back.
Many players, especially those from Western countries, find the game’s story and characters hard to understand because it’s so much about Chinese culture. To help, some Western fans have put in a lot of work. One fan even wrote a long summary (总结) of Sun Wukong’s abilities in all 100 chapters of Journey to the West.
By looking into the game and its background, Western players not only improved their gaming skills but also grew to understand Sun Wukong and the story of Journey to the West.
“Sun Wukong gives off a carefree, independent and chaotic (无秩序的) nature. He is not controlled by the need to set a good example for others like Spider-Man or Superman, who follow strict rules like ‘with great power comes great responsibility (责任)’ ” said Patrick McCarthy from the US.
Journey to the West tells an exciting story of a dangerous journey and looks at different ideas. It has inspired a lot of stories across cultures. The book has been translated into many languages, showing its lasting popularity.

A.The game is too long to finish.
B.It is hard to use the characters’ abilities.
C.They find it hard to understand the cultural meaning.
D.They can’t understand the Chinese language in the game.
34.According to Patrick, what makes Sun Wukong a different kind of hero?
A.He strictly follows rules. B.He has great power and abilities.
C.He sets a good example for others. D.He follows his own rules and wishes.
35.What’s the text mainly about?
A.Culture in Journey to the West. B.People’s love for video games.
C.Famous books about Chinese culture. D.Worldwide interest in a Chinese game.
【答案】32.C 33.C 34.D 35.D

Sophie, a 14-year-old British girl, suddenly changed her behavior in class. She lost interest in studies and would sit in the corner with her head mostly down.
Ethan Miller, one of Sophie’s teachers, discovered the reason: she had been bullied(欺凌) online. Sophie was receiving abusive(辱骂) messages on her phone and on Facebook. Miller shared Sophie’s story on the official website of The Children’s Society, a children’s charity in the UK. Sophie was not alone. One in three young people, in 30 countries, said they have experienced online bullying. Twenty percent of those bullied students were not willing to go to school because of it, according to a report in September. The study surveyed more than 170,000 young people aged 13-24 from countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. Seventy-five percent of them said social media, like Facebook and Twitter, are the most common places for online bullying. The growth of social media has left many young people hurt by online bullying, including unfriendly and abusive messages, comments and pictures.
The Internet world makes it easier for people to communicate with each other, but there is more danger for young people as well — and it is surprising that online bullying troubles many young people more than anything else. What’s more, online bullying could lead to serious results for young people. Such bullying makes young people more than twice as likely to hurt themselves or even kill themselves, according to a 2018 study by the university of Oxford, UK. The research also found that young people facing online bullying were not as likely to ask for help as those bullied by traditional ways.
To deal with the problem, UNICEF has called for national helplines to support people who are bullied, along with training for teachers and parents to prevent and deal with online bullying.
Here is some advice to keep yourself safe on the Internet:
1. Make sure that you’re careful and respectful to others, even if you don’t share similar opinions, values or beliefs.
2. If you experience online bullying, the best response to a bully is no response(回应) at all.
3. Keep a record of anything that shows proof(证据) of online bullying, like screenshots. You can use this to report and stop them.
36.What did Sophie do when facing bullying on the Internet?
A.She told her teacher about it. B.She isn’t willing to go to school.
C.She had no interest in studies. D.She would never sit in the corner.
37.The underlined word “discovered” in paragraph 2 most probably means _________.
A.find out B.hide C.protect D.work out
38.What action has UNICEF done to help with online bullying?
A.Respecting all the people around.
B.Improving young people’s studies.
C.Training teachers and parents to prevent bullying.
D.Keeping a record of anything that shows proof of online bullying.
39.How does online bullying trouble young people?
A.Make them willing to go to school. B.Make them unwilling to ask for help.
C.Make it easier for them to communicate. D.Make it impossible for them to hurt themselves.
40.Why does the writer write the report about online bullying?
A.To study the problem of online bullying.
B.To help teachers deal with students’ problems.
C.To tell people what UNICEF has done for children.
D.To help do with online bullying that troubles young people.
【答案】36.C 37.A 38.C 39.B 40.D
【分析】文章主要介绍的是学生遭受网络欺凌的社会现象,并且举出一个个例子来说明受到网络欺凌的影响,最后还提出几个处理方法。
36.细节理解题。根据文中She lost interest in studies and would sit in the comer with her head mostly down. Ethan Miller, one of Sophie’s teachers, discovered the reason: she had been bullied(欺凌)online.她对学习失去了兴趣,常常低着头坐在角落里。索菲的一位老师伊森·米勒发现了原因:她在网上受到了欺负。由此可知她在面对欺凌时对学习失去了兴趣,故选C。
37.词义猜测题。find out发现;hide隐藏;protect保护;work out算出;根据文中she had been bullied(欺凌)online.可知,这里是对前面失去学习兴趣的解释,所以discovered指的是“发现”,故选A。
38.细节理解题。根据文中To deal with the problem, UNICEF has called for national helplines to support people who are bullied, along with training for teachers and parents to prevent and deal with online bullying.为解决这一问题,儿童基金会呼吁设立国家求助热线,支持受欺凌者,并培训教师和家长防止和处理网上欺凌行为。可知是培训老师和家长防范,故选C。
39.细节理解题。根据文中The research also found that young people facing online bullying were not as likely to ask for help as those bullied by traditional ways.研究还发现,面对网络欺凌的年轻人不像那些被传统方式欺凌的人那么容易求助。可知网络欺凌因为不好求助,所以造成年轻人不愿意求助,故选B。
40.主旨大意题。整篇文章从一个个例子入手, 介绍了学生遭受网络暴力的社会现象及其影响, 并简述了处理办法。因此文章目的是呼吁社会帮助解决网暴问题, 故选D。

The spy (间谍)
Many years ago, people used pigeons to help their countries during wars. Spy pigeons had small cameras that were tied to their feet. As a pigeon flew over the enemy’s (敌人的) land, the camera took photos of the land below. This would allow the soldiers to see where the enemies were and what they were doing.

They came to where an old man sat. He was selling dirty pieces of cloth, smelly old bones, and all kinds of old and useless things. As they watched, two old women and an old man, equally dirty, smelly, and ugly, came into the shop. They carried large bags.
“Come and sit by the fire,” the shopkeeper said. “Tell me what you have to sell me.”
“Nothing a dead man will miss,” the first woman said with a nasty (让人讨厌的) laugh.
“If he wanted to keep them after he was dead, why wasn’t he a good man when he was alive? If he was, he would have someone to look after him. He would not die alone.”
“That’s very true,” said the second woman, putting a few clothes on the floor. “He got the death he deserved.” She pointed at the clothes. “What will you give me for those, Joe?” She asked the shopkeeper, adding, “I did no wrong taking them from the dead man’s house.”
The shopkeeper looked at everything the woman wanted to sell him and put a price on it. Then he added everything up. The final amount was very small.
“That’s not much,” the woman said.
“Take it or leave it,” the shopkeeper said. “I won’t pay a penny (便士) more.”

The Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong (《黑神话:悟空》) has become a big hit. It sold more than 10 million copies in just three days after it came out on Aug 20. The game is based on (基于) the Chinese story Journey to the West.

Many players, especially those from Western countries, find the game’s story and characters hard to understand because it’s so much about Chinese culture.

By looking into the game and its background, Western players not only improved their gaming skills but also grew to understand Sun Wukong and the story of Journey to the West.

Sophie, a 14-year-old British girl, suddenly changed her behavior in class. She lost interest in studies and would sit in the corner with her head mostly down.
Ethan Miller, one of Sophie’s teachers, discovered the reason: she had been bullied(欺凌) online. Sophie was receiving abusive(辱骂) messages on her phone and on Facebook. Miller shared Sophie’s story on the official website of The Children’s Society, a children’s charity in the UK. Sophie was not alone. One in three young people, in 30 countries, said they have experienced online bullying. Twenty percent of those bullied students were not willing to go to school because of it, according to a report in September. The study surveyed more than 170,000 young people aged 13-24 from countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. Seventy-five percent of them said social media, like Facebook and Twitter, are the most common places for online bullying. The growth of social media has left many young people hurt by online bullying, including unfriendly and abusive messages, comments and pictures.
The Internet world makes it easier for people to communicate with each other, but there is more danger for young people as well — and it is surprising that online bullying troubles many young people more than anything else. What’s more, online bullying could lead to serious results for young people. Such bullying makes young people more than twice as likely to hurt themselves or even kill themselves, according to a 2018 study by the university of Oxford, UK. The research also found that young people facing online bullying were not as likely to ask for help as those bullied by traditional ways.
To deal with the problem, UNICEF has called for national helplines to support people who are bullied, along with training for teachers and parents to prevent and deal with online bullying.
Here is some advice to keep yourself safe on the Internet:
1. Make sure that you’re careful and respectful to others, even if you don’t share similar opinions, values or beliefs.
2. If you experience online bullying, the best response to a bully is no response(回应) at all.
3. Keep a record of anything that shows proof(证据) of online bullying, like screenshots. You can use this to report and stop them.
36.What did Sophie do when facing bullying on the Internet?
A.She told her teacher about it. B.She isn’t willing to go to school.
C.She had no interest in studies. D.She would never sit in the corner.
37.The underlined word “discovered” in paragraph 2 most probably means _________.
A.find out B.hide C.protect D.work out
38.What action has UNICEF done to help with online bullying?
A.Respecting all the people around.
B.Improving young people’s studies.
C.Training teachers and parents to prevent bullying.
D.Keeping a record of anything that shows proof of online bullying.
39.How does online bullying trouble young people?
A.Make them willing to go to school. B.Make them unwilling to ask for help.
C.Make it easier for them to communicate. D.Make it impossible for them to hurt themselves.
40.Why does the writer write the report about online bullying?
A.To study the problem of online bullying.
B.To help teachers deal with students’ problems.
C.To tell people what UNICEF has done for children.
D.To help do with online bullying that troubles young people.
