So firstly, she cleaned the kitchen, every shelf, every bottle, and then every other corner in the house. The spring cleaning was done every year, but it was especially important this year because Della’s family was going to have guests during the festival. And yet, she felt little of the joy that the festival and family should have brought. Surely it wasn’t that she couldn’t feel happy. In fact, she was looking forward to meeting the guests. But she simply couldn’t shake off how tired she was. Every night for the three whole weeks, she got on her bed with tiredness. She even forgot to buy a new dress for the big day. Soon the day arrived and the guests came and had a great time. While the family members enjoyed themselves, Della started thinking, “Was the house looking good? Was her work showing, at least to someone?” By the end of the week, from the laughter and the enjoyable faces of the guests, Della knew she had done a good job. However, her hard work, which came from her time and energy, hadn’t been mentioned by any of the guests even once. A few days later, her son rushed towards her from the school bus. Della smiled at her little boy. “Mum, see what I got you, a star sticker!” Della stared at the tiny golden sticker in surprise. She knew little stickers of stars were given to students in her kid’s school when they did something well. Della let him stick it on her arm. “But why am I getting a star?” she asked. “You did a good job, Mum. You cleaned the whole house and everyone had a good time! So, I asked my teacher to give you a star,” he said, very seriously. For the first time in weeks. Della gave out a big laugh. She knew her work had finally been appreciated, and with such child-like honesty. Della suddenly felt light and happy from her heart. “Let’s go home and celebrate my sticker by eating some sweets, little one!” she laughed. 26. Which of the following best describes Della?. A. Not easily satisfied. B. Always full of energy. C. Friendly and confident. D. Careful and hard-working. 27. Why didn’t Della feel happy before the festival? A. She didn’t like the guests. B.

Della gave out a big laugh. She knew her work had finally been appreciated, and with such child-like honesty.”可知，她的辛苦工作终于得到了认可和感激，故划线单词“appreciated”意为“意识到某事物的价值”。故选C。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲了Della在春节清洁日时，认真清洁屋里的每个角落，虽然很辛苦，但来访的客人玩得很开心，她的辛勤付出也得到了儿子的肯定和尊重。因此，我们从中感悟到每一份努力都应该被尊重和认可。故选B。 (B) With the growing popularity of the game Black Myth (黑神话): Wukong, it’s important to know that the basic story of the game is changed from the ancient Chinese novel Journey to the West, which is also the inspiration for the famous comic Dragon Ball. For Chinese players, Journey to the West is a well-known story, but for Western players, they may be unaware of the wider characters and stories in the novel. Playing the game without understanding the background of the story might make it difficult to fully enjoy the game. So today, we’re here to tell some of the key characters and plots in the novel, to help players understand everything they should know before playing the game. The novel Journey to the West includes 100 stories and tells how Sun Wukong and his partners went through tests and difficulties, finally reaching the West. The tests and difficulties in the novel are almost like different levels in the game. In the game players will meet different enemies, all of whom are recreated from Journey to the West. For example, one of the enemies in the game, Hei Xiong Guai, is a large black bear with fire attacks. When facing his frightening fire attacks, it’s difficult to keep from being burnt or damaged. But if you can find an object called the “Fireproof Mantle” earlier in the game, you can avoid those fire damages. And this “Fireproof Mantle” actually comes from the novel, Journey to the West. In the novel, the Elder Jinchi and Hei Xiong Guai, in order to steal TangSanzang’s kasya robe (袈裟), set fire to the temple. They wanted to burn Tang Sanzang and SunWukong to death. Sun Wukong borrowed the “Fireproof Mantle” from the gods to protect TangSanzang from the disaster. This plot not only explains the background story of the “Fireproof Mantle”, but also helps players understand the characters in the game. So when you meet an enemy in the game that is too difficult to deal with, you might try to search for his story in the novel because it could be helpful for you to beat him. 30. Who is the passage most probably written for? A. Game players. B. Comic lovers. C. Novel readers. D. Game creators. 31. How does the writer explain the connection between the game and the novel? A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking questions. D. By comparing differences. 32. With the help of Journey to the West, what may players do to beat the black bear? A. Put out the fire with water. B. Ask the Elder Jinchi for help. C. Start searching for the “Fireproof Mantle”. D. Borrow kasya robe from the gods in the game. 33. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To encourage people to play the game. B. To introduce the background story of the game. C. To tell how to beat Hei Xiong Guai in the game. D. To show how the game becomes popular abroad. 【答案】30. A 31. A 32. C 33. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了《黑神话：悟空》游戏的背景故事，了解《西游记》小说中的关键角色和情节能帮助玩家更好地享受游戏，特别是在应对敌人和寻找物品时。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据“With the growing popularity of the game Black Myth (黑神话): Wukong…For Chinese players, Journey to the West is a well-known story, but for Western players, they may be unaware of the wider characters and stories in the novel.

But there’s another important key which is often forgotten by us. That is having those meals at the right time. Understanding the science behind meal timing can have a huge influence on your health. More research is showing that correct mealtime might help people lose weight and reduce risks of disease. According to the experts, “It’ s about the when, rather than the what.” Incorrect mealtimes can be against all the advantages of your healthy diet. In addition, each of us needs a given amount of energy each day. This energy is produced from the grains, proteins, and fats that we take in. When we fail to eat adequately through the day (for example, only one or two meals), it can be challenging to meet our energy needs. There are different ways to have a meal plan that makes you feel your best. The list below may be a good place to start. ●6:00-9:45 a. m. Break your fast. This window is the perfect time to have breakfast. Think of a breakfast that includes healthy fat and protein like eggs, cheese, or plant seeds and so on. ●10:00-11:00 a. m. Snack it up. Given breakfast has now been a few hours ago and lunch still feels light years away. Having something light but tasty is wonderful. Pick an apple or some pine nuts (坚果). The high-fiber and high-protein snack is helpful to stop you from feeling hungry. ●1:00 p. m. Lunch Break. Work and study tasks can make you have lunch later or even forget it. But waiting until later in the afternoon or evening could lead to eating too much and making less healthy choices. Research supports eating an earlier lunch. ●3:00 - 4:00 p. m. Snack again. As with your morning snack, a high-fiber and high-protein snack is a good choice. ●6:30 p. m. Dinnertime. Research supports having dinner at 6-7 p. m. Eating an earlier dinner and getting away from late night (10 p. m. and after) meal can help you sleep better. A dinner that is high in fiber and low in fat can help you fall asleep faster and increase your time in dreamland. 34. What’s the writer’s opinion on correct mealtime? A. It’s another key to being healthy. B. Eating at the right time is difficult. C. What to eat is more important than it. D. It’s against the advantages of healthy diet. 35. According to the passage, what may happen if we have fewer than three meals a day? A. We will not get sick easily. B. It’s hard for us to get enough energy. C. It’ll make us have less unhealthy food. D. We may feel hungry during work or study. 36. According to the writer, which is a healthy decision? A. Having lunch during teatime. B. Starting the day without breakfast. C. Eating some pine nuts at work. D. Eating a sandwich for late night dinner. 37. What is the best title for the passage? A We are what we eat. B. Timing is everything. C. Science behind food. D. Ways to lose weight. 【答案】34. A 35. B 36. C 37. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了按时吃饭对健康的重要性，包括正确用餐时间的科学依据、不按时吃饭的弊端以及具体的用餐时间建议。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Eating healthy and balanced meals is one of the keys to good health. But there’s another important key which is often forgotten by us. That is having those meals at the right time.”可知，作者认为按时吃饭是保持健康的另一个关键，故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When we fail to eat adequately through the day (for example, only one or two meals), it can be challenging to meet our energy needs.”可知，如果一天吃不到足够的餐数（少于三餐），很难满足我们的能量需求，也就是很难获得足够的能量，故选B。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“10:00 - 11:00 a.m. Pick an apple or some pine nuts (坚果). The high-fiber and high-protein snack is helpful to stop you from feeling hungry.”可知，所以工作时吃坚果是健康选择，故选C。 【37题详解】 最佳标题。文章主要围绕按时吃饭对健康的重要性展开，强调了用餐时间的科学性，故选B。 (D) BookLover.com Hello, David Books search Books Topics Best Sellers Electric Books Memberships Your books Books > Topics > Education & Teaching Famous Scientists For Kids: The Lives and Work of 75 Famous Scientists as well as Fast Facts on 15 Well-known Scientific Findings in the History.

C和D项中，选出最佳选项。 (A) The spring cleaning had turned out to be an uneasy task for Della. She had to get the house a good wash before the most important festival of the year. So firstly, she cleaned the kitchen, every shelf, every bottle, and then every other corner in the house. The spring cleaning was done every year, but it was especially important this year because Della’s family was going to have guests during the festival. And yet, she felt little of the joy that the festival and family should have brought. Surely it wasn’t that she couldn’t feel happy. In fact, she was looking forward to meeting the guests. But she simply couldn’t shake off how tired she was. Every night for the three whole weeks, she got on her bed with tiredness. She even forgot to buy a new dress for the big day. Soon the day arrived and the guests came and had a great time. While the family members enjoyed themselves, Della started thinking, “Was the house looking good? Was her work showing, at least to someone?” By the end of the week, from the laughter and the enjoyable faces of the guests, Della knew she had done a good job. However, her hard work, which came from her time and energy, hadn’t been mentioned by any of the guests even once. A few days later, her son rushed towards her from the school bus. Della smiled at her little boy. “Mum, see what I got you, a star sticker!” Della stared at the tiny golden sticker in surprise. She knew little stickers of stars were given to students in her kid’s school when they did something well. Della let him stick it on her arm. “But why am I getting a star?” she asked. “You did a good job, Mum. You cleaned the whole house and everyone had a good time! So, I asked my teacher to give you a star,” he said, very seriously. For the first time in weeks. Della gave out a big laugh. She knew her work had finally been appreciated, and with such child-like honesty. Della suddenly felt light and happy from her heart. “Let’s go home and celebrate my sticker by eating some sweets, little one!” she laughed. 26. Which of the following best describes Della?. A. Not easily satisfied. B. Always full of energy. C. Friendly and confident. D. Careful and hard-working. 27. Why didn’t Della feel happy before the festival? A. She didn’t like the guests. B. The house wasn’t clean enough. C. She was tired from the housework. D. The guests were unhappy with the party. 28. What does the underlined word “appreciated” in paragraph 10 mean? A. Increased in number. B. Asked for something politely. C. Realized how valuable something was. D. Fully understood what was happening. 29. What can we learn from the story? A. One should always be honest. B. Every effort should be respected. C. Things should be prepared earlier. D. Hard work is the secret to success. (B) With the growing popularity of the game Black Myth (黑神话): Wukong, it’s important to know that the basic story of the game is changed from the ancient Chinese novel Journey to the West, which is also the inspiration for the famous comic Dragon Ball. For Chinese players, Journey to the West is a well-known story, but for Western players, they may be unaware of the wider characters and stories in the novel. Playing the game without understanding the background of the story might make it difficult to fully enjoy the game. So today, we’re here to tell some of the key characters and plots in the novel, to help players understand everything they should know before playing the game. The novel Journey to the West includes 100 stories and tells how Sun Wukong and his partners went through tests and difficulties, finally reaching the West. The tests and difficulties in the novel are almost like different levels in the game. In the game, players will meet different enemies, all of whom are recreated from Journey to the West. For example, one of the enemies in the game, Hei Xiong Guai, is a large black bear with fire attacks. When facing his frightening fire attacks, it’s difficult to keep from being burnt or damaged. But if you can find an object called the “Fireproof Mantle” earlier in the game, you can avoid those fire damages. And this “Fireproof Mantle” actually comes from the novel, Journey to the West. In the novel, the Elder Jinchi and Hei Xiong Guai, in order to steal TangSanzang’s kasya robe (袈裟), set fire to the temple. They wanted to burn Tang Sanzang and SunWukong to death. Sun Wukong borrowed the “Fireproof Mantle” from the gods to protect TangSanzang from the disaster. This plot not only explains the background story of the “Fireproof Mantle”, but also helps players understand the characters in the game. So when you meet an enemy in the game that is too difficult to deal with, you might try to search for his story in the novel because it could be helpful for you to beat him. 30. Who is the passage most probably written for? A. Game players. B. Comic lovers. C. Novel readers. D. Game creators. 31. How does the writer explain the connection between the game and the novel? A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking questions. D. By comparing differences. 32. With the help of Journey to the West, what may players do to beat the black bear? A. Put out the fire with water. B. Ask the Elder Jinchi for help. C. Start searching for the “Fireproof Mantle”. D. Borrow kasya robe from the gods in the game. 33. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To encourage people to play the game. B To introduce the background story of the game. C. To tell how to beat Hei Xiong Guai in the game. D. To show how the game becomes popular abroad. (C) Eating healthy and balanced meals is one of the keys to good health. But there’s another important key which is often forgotten by us. That is having those meals at the right time. Understanding the science behind meal timing can have a huge influence on your health. More research is showing that correct mealtime might help people lose weight and reduce risks of disease. According to the experts, “It’ s about the when, rather than the what.” Incorrect mealtimes can be against all the advantages of your healthy diet. In addition, each of us needs a given amount of energy each day. This energy is produced from the grains, proteins, and fats that we take in. When we fail to eat adequately through the day (for example, only one or two meals), it can be challenging to meet our energy needs. There are different ways to have a meal plan that makes you feel your best. The list below may be a good place to start. ●6:00-9:45 a. m. Break your fast. This window is the perfect time to have breakfast. Think of a breakfast that includes healthy fat and protein like eggs, cheese, or plant seeds and so on. ●10:00-11:00 a. m. Snack it up. Given breakfast has now been a few hours ago and lunch still feels light years away. Having something light but tasty is wonderful. Pick an apple or some pine nuts (坚果). The high-fiber and high-protein snack is helpful to stop you from feeling hungry. ●1:00 p. m. Lunch Break. Work and study tasks can make you have lunch later or even forget it. But waiting until later in the afternoon or evening could lead to eating too much and making less healthy choices. Research supports eating an earlier lunch. ●3:00 - 4:00 p. m. Snack again. As with your morning snack, a high-fiber and high-protein snack is a good choice. ●6:30 p m. Dinnertime. Research supports having dinner at 6-7 p. m. Eating an earlier dinner and getting away from late night (10 p. m. and after) meal can help you sleep better. A dinner that is high in fiber and low in fat can help you fall asleep faster and increase your time in dreamland. 34. What’s the writer’s opinion on correct mealtime? A. It’s another key to being healthy. B. Eating at the right time is difficult. C. What to eat is more important than it. D. It’s against the advantages of healthy diet. 35. According to the passage, what may happen if we have fewer than three meals a day? A. We will not get sick easily. B. It’s hard for us to get enough energy. C. It’ll make us have less unhealthy food. D. We may feel hungry during work or study. 36. According to the writer, which is a healthy decision? A. Having lunch during teatime. B. Starting the day without breakfast. C. Eating some pine nuts at work. D. Eating a sandwich for late night dinner. 37. What is the best title for the passage? A. We are what we eat. B. Timing is everything. C. Science behind food. D. Ways to lose weight.
