B （2024·江苏南京·二模） Willie Bentley’s happiest days were snowstorm days. He watched snowflakes fall on the dried grass and on the dark metal handle of the door. He said snow was as beautiful as butterflies, or apple blossoms (花). He could catch butterflies and show them to his brother. He could pick apple blossoms and take them to his mother. But he could not share snowflakes because he could not save them. When his mother gave him an old microscope (显微镜), he used it to look at flowers, raindrops and grass. Best of all, he used it to look at snow. While other children built forts with sand and threw snowballs at birds, Willie was catching snowflakes. Day after stormy day he studied the icy crystals. The intricate patters (复杂的结构) of snowflakes were even more beautiful than he had imagined. He expected to find whole flakes that were the same, that were copies of each other. But he never did. Willie decided he must find a way to save snowflakes so others could see their wonderful patterns. For three winters he tried drawing snow crystals. They always melted before he could finish. When he was 16, Willie read about a camera which has its own microscope. “If I had that camera, I could photograph snowflakes,” he told his mother. Willie’s mother knew he would not be happy until he could share what he had seen. “Fussing with snow is just foolishness,” his father said. Still, he loved his son. When Willie was 17, his parents spent their savings and bought the camera. It was taller than a newborn cow, and cost as much as ten cows. Willie was sure it was the best of all cameras. Even so, his first pictures were failures. Yet he would not give up. Mistake by mistake, snowflake by snowflake, Willie worked through every storm. Winter ended, the snow melted, and he had no good pictures. He waited for another season of snow. One day, in the second winter, he tried a new way. And it worked! Willie worked out how to photograph snowflakes! “Now everyone can see the great beauty in a tiny crystal,” he said. But in those days no one cared. Neighbors laughed at the idea of photographing snow. “Snow is as common as dirt,” they said. “We don’t need pictures.” Willie said the photographs would be his gift to the world. 21．What did Willie most like to do when he was a boy? A．He watched snowflakes alone. B．He threw snowballs at birds. C．He caught butterflies with his brother. D．He built sand forts with his friends. 22．What problem did Willie have when he tried to draw snowflakes? A．Snowflake patterns were too difficult to draw well. B．Snowflakes melted before he could finish drawing them. C．Snowflakes were hard to draw because of the cold weather. D．Snowflakes blew away before he could finish drawing them. 23．“Fussing with snow is just foolishness,” his father said. This sentence shows that Willie’s father thought photographing snow was ___________. A．an interesting idea B．worth having a try C．something Willie wasn’t good at D．a waste of Willie’s time 24．Which sentence best tells about Willie? A．He liked every season equally.

The elephant-foot drum dance is very popular among the Dai people. It is often performed during festivals. This form of dance was at first used to scare off evil and welcome the new year. Now it is a way for the Dai people to show their joy as well as their village culture. The drum-making skill was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2011. A young man, Xie Wenping, used to follow his grandfather who made elephant-foot drums for a living to learn how to make a drum. “Making an elephant-foot drum is no easy task, and it takes about 30 steps and one month,” Xie explained. After picking the wood, one needs to carve (雕刻) the wood into an elephant-leg-like shape and hollow out (挖空) the inside. The drum surface is made of cowhide (牛皮革), which needs to go through several steps such as leather selection (皮料选择), cleaning, air drying and cutting. Then comes the painting, during which the drum is painted with patterns showing ethnic elements (元素) and coated with a protective topcoat (防护面漆). The finishing steps include tuning (调音) and polishing the fur. “A good elephant-foot drum should have a thick and loud sound when beaten,” Xie said. The repetion (重复) of the work might not be the most exciting, but whenever Xie sees his grandfather’s smile while making the drum, he feels encouraged again. “Over the years, the number of craftspeople (工匠) skilled in making elephant-foot drums has gone down,” Xie said. “I feel like it’s my responsibility to carry it on.” Xie has innovated the form of the drum. To make it easier for the elephant-foot drum to spread to places outside Yunnan, Xie came up with the idea of making a mini version (版本) of the drum and designed key chains shaped like the elephant-foot drum. I think people are supposed to save the drum and pass the drum-making skill down. Therefore, we can help keep our culture colorful. 26．What was the elephant-foot drum dance used to do in the beginning? A．To celebrate different kinds of festivals. B．To drive evil away and welcome the new year. C．To show Dai people’s happiness and their village culture. D．To introduce the most typical musical instrument to people. 27．According to Xie, the process of making an elephant-foot drum is _____. A．easy B．creative C．challenging D．the most exciting 28．Which is the correct order to make elephant-foot drums? ① tuning and polishing the fur ② deal with the cowhide to make the surface of the drum ③ carve the wood that was picked and hollow out the inside ④ paint a protective topcoat after drawing some patterns on the drum surface A．③ ② ① ④ B．② ④ ③ ① C．② ③ ④ ① D．③ ② ④ ① 29．What does the word “innovated” mean in the last paragraph? A．created B．made C．improved D．designed 30．What might be the author’s opinion according to the article? A．people should save the drum and carry on the drum-making skill. B．Making an elephant-foot drum takes about 30 steps and one month. C．The elephant-foot drum dance is very popular among the Dai people. D．people are supposed to learn how to perform the elephant-foot drum dance. D （2024·江苏·三模）Since we were young, we have been told to read more books to broaden our eyes. Reading is not only part of modern education but is also encouraged by many poets in the Western and Eastern countries. The Book(By Zhu Xi) There lies a glassy oblong pool, Where light and shade pursue (追求) their △. How can it be so clear and cool? For water comes fresh from the source. There is no Frigate like a Book(By Emily Dickinson) There is no Frigate (护卫舰) like a Book To take us Lands away Nor any Coursers (骏马) like a Page Of prancing Poetry— This Traverse (遨游) may the poorest take Without oppress of Toll— How frugal (节约的) is the Chariot That bears the Human Soul— Appreciation and Analysis:（诗歌赏析） Reading can be helpful in different ways. Song Dynasty poet Zhu Xi (1130-1200) uses the metaphor (比喻) of flowing water in the poem The Book. He wants to tell readers that reading is important in order to improve oneself. Only by reading can people take in new knowledge in order to make progress. So he hopes people could get past being lazy while reading in order to make their minds as clear as a pool of water. The poem written by US poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), however, talks about how books take us everywhere. She said that no ship or horse has the power a book does to carry people to another world. In her eyes, books are magical transports. It doesn’t cost much when people “travel” in the lines of beautiful languages. But they still learn a lot and take many “adventures”. 31．Which word is the best to fill in the “ △ ”? A．dream B．course C．future D．courage 32．The last two sentences of The Book can be translated into _________ in Chinese. A．纸上得来终觉浅，绝知此事要躬行 B．想见读书头已白，隔溪猿哭瘴溪藤 C．问渠那得清如许，为有源头活水来 D．黄河之水天上来，奔流到海不复回 33．In Emily Dickinson’s eyes, ________. A．no ship or horse can carry people to another world B．it cost much when people “travel” in the lines of beautiful languages C．reading can make their minds as clear as a pool of water D．books can lead people to another world 34．The underlined word they in the last paragraph refers to ________. A．people who read books B．the lines of beautiful languages C．magical transports D．adventures 35．These two passages are telling us ________ in common. A．what poems can bring us B．the importance of reading books C．how to take in new knowledge D．how to keep reading E （2024·江苏苏州·二模）请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The iPod Generation Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. 36 . Outside life is shut out. So are you one of “them”? For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. 37 . What’s even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says, “I’m not available for chatting at the moment!” Suppose you’re at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough (极大的突破), but a workmate suddenly turns up. At this moment the slightest disturbance (干扰) would break your concentration. 38 . Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away!” signal. 39 . It’s probably part of the growing up sage when they just want to ignore (忽视) their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework, they can just turn up the volume on their MP3 player, smile, and say “Yes, mum.” Problem solved. Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears, but also our brains will be directly plugged into (接通) some new high-tech instruments. We’ll be in a virtual (虚拟的) world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like. 40 . And they are changing our social habits along the way. In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It! It’s so strange—suddenly, I don’t feel like wearing my earphones any more. A．Our instruments are changing quickly B．I don’t have to deal with the noise from the environment C．In the home situation, teenagers love these wires D．I also have wires hanging from my cars E．Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions F．They walk around in their own space, with their personal “digital noise reduction system” G．After all, I am listening to my favourite music and would rather not be disturbed. 三、短文填空 （2024·江苏宿迁·一模）根据短文内容，用括号内所给词的正确时态或形式填空，使短文完整。 While some people stick to only 41 (first) kind of movie, I like to watch different kinds depending on how I feel that day. When I’m down or tired, I prefer movies that can cheer me up. Comedies or cartoons have funny dialog and 42 (usual) have a happy ending. The characters may not be perfect, but they do 43 (them) best to solve the problems. 44 (after) watching them, I find the problems suddenly seem less serious and feel much better. Laughing for two hours is a good way 45 (relax)! I don’t watch dramas or documentaries when I’m sad or tired. Dramas make me even 46 (sad). Documentaries 47 (provide) plenty of information about a certain subject, but when I’m tired I don’t want to think too much. I don’t mind action movies when I’m too tired to think. I can just shut off my brain, sit back and enjoy 48 (watch) an exciting superhero. Once in a while, I like to watch scary 49 (movie). They can be fun, but I’m too scared to watch them alone, so I always bring my brother.

The elephant-foot drum dance is very popular among the Dai people. It is often performed during festivals. This form of dance was at first used to scare off evil and welcome the new year. Now it is a way for the Dai people to show their joy as well as their village culture. The drum-making skill was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2011. A young man, Xie Wenping, used to follow his grandfather who made elephant-foot drums for a living to learn how to make a drum. “Making an elephant-foot drum is no easy task, and it takes about 30 steps and one month,” Xie explained. After picking the wood, one needs to carve (雕刻) the wood into an elephant-leg-like shape and hollow out (挖空) the inside. The drum surface is made of cowhide (牛皮革), which needs to go through several steps such as leather selection (皮料选择), cleaning, air drying and cutting. Then comes the painting, during which the drum is painted with patterns showing ethnic elements (元素) and coated with a protective topcoat (防护面漆). The finishing steps include tuning (调音) and polishing the fur. “A good elephant-foot drum should have a thick and loud sound when beaten,” Xie said. The repetion (重复) of the work might not be the most exciting, but whenever Xie sees his grandfather’s smile while making the drum, he feels encouraged again. “Over the years, the number of craftspeople (工匠) skilled in making elephant-foot drums has gone down,” Xie said. “I feel like it’s my responsibility to carry it on.” Xie has innovated the form of the drum. To make it easier for the elephant-foot drum to spread to places outside Yunnan, Xie came up with the idea of making a mini version (版本) of the drum and designed key chains shaped like the elephant-foot drum. I think people are supposed to save the drum and pass the drum-making skill down. Therefore, we can help keep our culture colorful. 26．What was the elephant-foot drum dance used to do in the beginning? A．To celebrate different kinds of festivals. B．To drive evil away and welcome the new year. C．To show Dai people’s happiness and their village culture.
