Ahmed had been competing in cyclocross for three years, but this was Ryan’s first race. He wished he could remember everything Ahmed had taught him. Ryan reviewed the last six months in his mind. From the moment, Ahmed had first asked whether he would like to try the sport, Ryan had been excited. Ahmed helped Ryan find safety gear. He also explained the importance of practising and set up a plan for the two friends to practise together. Practising was hard. Ryan soon grew bored with working on the same skills over and over. He was ready to race! Ryan ended up skipping (不参加) many of the practices. When Ryan did go to practices, he spent more time doing tricks with his bike than he did listening to Ahmed’s tips. “Now the real fun begins,” Ryan thought as he sat at the starting line. “You need to get serious,” Ahmed warned. “Cyclocross can be dangerous.” Bang! The starting gun went off. The boys rushed off the starting line. Ryan saw the first obstacle (障碍) ahead. It was a series of small hurdles. “Here I go!” Ryan shouted when he reached the hurdles. He jumped off his bike and landed hard on his foot. Next, he had to get his bike onto his shoulder. Ryan could not remember what Ahmed said about shouldering the bike. He tried to pick it up by the wheels but dropped. Finally, he got his bike off the ground. As he ran, he tried to balance the bike on his shoulder. The bike was heavy, and his ankle hurt. Before he knew it, he was lying face-down in the mud. “Are you okay?” Ryan heard his friend ask. Ahmed reached down to help Ryan. Ryan was thankful that Ahmed cared more about him than about the race. He caught Ahmed’s hand and stood. “Ouch!” Ryan cried. It hurt to put weight on his ankle. “You were right, Ahmed. Cyclocross is about more than strength and speed. Can we spend a few more months training together? I want to finish my next cyclocross race!” 1．What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 3?

We were supposed to have a test in Pre-Algebra, and I’ve been lazy ever since I became a Safety Patrol. So I was excited. I called Rowley and told him to come over. We have been talking about building the world’s biggest snowman for the past couple of years now. And when I say the world’s biggest snowman, I’m not joking. Our goal is to get into the “Guinness Book of World Records”. But every year we’ve got serious about going for the record, all the snow has melted (融化), and we’ve missed our window of opportunity. So this year, I wanted to get started right away. When Rowley came over, we started rolling (滚) the first snowball to make the base. I thought the base was going to have to be at least eight feet tall on its own if we wanted to have a shot at breaking the record. But the snowball got very heavy, and we had to take a bunch of breaks in between rolls so we could catch our breath. During one of our breaks, Mom came outside to go to the grocery store, but our snowball was blocking her car in. So we got a little free labour out of her. After our break we pushed that snowball until we couldn’t push it any further. But when we looked behind us, we saw the mess we had made. The snowball had got so heavy that it tore up all the turf (草皮) Dad had just laid down last autumn. I was hoping it would snow a few more inches and cover up our tracks, but just like that, it stopped snowing. Our plan to build the world’s biggest snowman was starting to fall apart. So I came up with better idea for our snowball. Every time it snows, the kids from Whirley Street use our hill for sledging, even though this isn’t their neighbourhood. So tomorrow morning, when the Whirley Street kids come marching up our hill, we are going to teach those guys a lesson. 1．Why was the school cancelled today? A．The bad weather. B．A test in Pre-Algebra. C．The Safety Patrol’s task. D．A plan for breaking the record. 2．What do the underlined words “window of opportunity” mean? A．A wonderful chance to sledge. B．A short time to make a snowman. C．A pleasant break from having the test. D．A narrow space for rolling a snowball. 3．Which picture can best show the mess the two boys made? A．B．C． D． 4．What does “a better idea for our snowball” probably mean? A．Asking parents to make the snowball bigger. B．Using the snowball to enter the “Guinness Book”.

We collectively agreed that moving to the countryside would be the perfect solution. After some searching, we found a home in Yucca, Arizona, a small town with a population of less than 1,000 people. However, when I called to ask about the condition of the house, I was surprised to know that there was no electricity available in the area. Initially, I almost denied the idea of living here, but then I realized that it was an excellent opportunity to go green. After careful consideration, we decided to make an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day. In the beginning, we faced challenges as we remodeled (改造) the house and lived in our motor home. However, these frustrations just made us work harder. We gradually fixed the things and after 38 days, we were able to move into the house. Living off the grid (电线) has been a significant adjustment for us over the past four months, but it has also brought numerous benefits. One of the most educational lessons we have learned is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take water, power, and gas for granted, but now they understand the need to be mindful of their usage. We have made changes such as taking shorter showers, doing full loads of laundry, and turning off the water while brushing our teeth. Additionally, we have embraced other sustainable practices like recycling, growing our own organic vegetables, and re-purposing items instead of throwing them away. Overall, our decision to go off the grid has been incredibly positive for our family. We hope that even after our children move out, they will continue to keep the habits they have developed while living off the grid. 1．Why did the author and their family decide to move to the countryside?

Then on Wednesday, Sam’s mother announced that the rent (房租) on their apartment was going up. Now it was Friday, and Sam received an invitation from Rosa to her birthday party.

Sam knew he couldn’t ask Mom or Dad for any money—not this week! Later that afternoon, Sam noticed a second-hand book sale going on. He went there and had a quick look. Two books caught his eye.

The kingdoms were often at war, so good military leaders were important. One such leader was Tian Ji, a general in the State of Qi. Tian Ji’s best friend was Sun Bin. Sun Bin had been a military official in the State of Wei. After he was unfairly fired from his job, he moved to the State of Qi. Sun Bin taught Tian Ji a lot about military strategy. At that time, horse racing was the most popular entertainment for the rich. People bet money on the races. Tian Ji was a fan of horse racing, but he wasn’t very good at betting. One day, Tian Ji again lost money at the races. He went home feeling sorry for himself. When Sun Bin saw how sad Tian Ji was, he said, “Take me with you next time. Maybe I can help you win!” A week later, Tian Ji did just that. Sun Bin learned how the races worked very quickly. He saw that the horses were divided into three types according to speed. First-class horses were the fastest, and third-class horses were the slowest. Each type had their own race and people bet on each race. In order to win the overall bet, a person only needed to win two of the three races. Sun Bin also noticed that each type had a different saddle color. This was to tell the different horses apart. Soon, Sun Bin developed a strategy to help Tian Ji. “Trust me,” he told Tian Ji. “I know exactly how you can win!” Tian Ji got so excited he challenged the king to a race. Tian Ji did everything that Sun Bin told him to do. For the first race, he put the first-class saddle on his third-class horse. The king’s first-class horse easily beat Tian Ji’s third-class horse. For the second race, Sun Bin told Tian Ji to put the second-class saddle on his first-class horse. And sure enough, Tian Ji won the second race. His first-class horse was better than the king’s second-class horse. Finally, for the third race, Tian Ji used his second-class horse. Once again, he won. This time it was against the king’s third-class horse. The king was shocked. Tian Ji was the overall winner. The king congratulated Tian Ji, but he was curious. “Tian Ji, where did you get such good horses?” he asked. “Your Majesty,” Tian Ji replied, “I did not win because I found great horses. I won because of the strategy I used. It was Sun Bin’s strategy, and it worked!” “Really?” said the king. “What exactly was this strategy?” Tian Ji told the king all about how he switched horses. He explained how Sun Bin knew that even when two opponents were unevenly matched, a strategy could be used to minimize losses. In this case, losing only once meant that Tian Ji was still the overall winner. Hearing this, the king immediately made Sun Bin the military adviser for the whole army.

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. 1．What did Willie most like to do when he was a boy?

Soudee’s trip began from Yvince, his hometown in the northwest of France. After working as a sailor and a fisherman, he saved up for two years and bought an old boat. He set off alone around the world, aged 21, having spent only two hours practising how to sail it. Before crossing the Atlantic Ocean, Soudee stopped in the Canary Islands, off the coast of north-west Africa, and it was here that he met Monique. Soudee was given the chicken by some friends. “My plan was to have a hen to stay with and have fresh eggs,” he said.

I talked to her every day and I knew she understood me,” Soudee said. “I taught her how to swim, how to surf. We shared everything together. ” Soudee and Monique finally finished their 5, 000-mile journey around the world in December 2018.

The Marionette, as soon as his hunger was appeased, started to grumble and cry that he wanted a new pair of feet. But Mastro Geppetto, in order to punish him for his mischief (淘气), let him alone the whole morning. After dinner, he said to him: “Why should I make your feet over again? To see you run away from home once more? “ “I promise you,” answered the Marionette, sobbing, “that from now on I’ll be good…” “Boys always promise that when they want something,” said Geppetto. “I promise to go to school every day, to study, and to succeed.” “Boys always sing that song when they want their own will.” “But I am not like other boys! I am better than all of them and I always tell the truth. I promise you, Father, that I’ll learn a trade, and I’ll be the comfort and staff of your old age.” Geppetto, though trying to look very stern, felt his eyes fill with tears and his heart soften when he saw Pinocchio so unhappy. He said no more, but taking his tools and two pieces of wood, he set to work diligently. In less than an hour the feet were finished, two slender, nimble little feet, strong and quick, modeled as if by an artist’s hands. “Close your eyes and sleep!” Geppetto then said to the Marionette. Pinocchio closed his eyes and pretended (假装) to be asleep, while Geppetto stuck on the two feet with a bit of glue melted in an eggshell, doing his work so well that the joint could hardly be seen. As soon as the Marionette felt his new feet, he gave one leap from the table and started to skip and jump around, as if he had lost his head from very joy. “To show you how grateful I am to you, Father, I’ll go to school now. But to go to school I need a suit of clothes.” Geppetto did not have a penny in his pocket, so he made his son a little suit of flowered paper, a pair of shoes from the bark of a tree, and a tiny cap from a bit of dough. Pinocchio ran to look at himself in a bowl of water, and he felt so happy that he said proudly: “Now I look like a gentleman.” “Truly,” answered Geppetto. “But remember that fine clothes do not make the man unless they be neat and clean.” “Very true,” answered Pinocchio, “but, in order to go to school, I still need something very important.” “What is it?” “An A-B-C book.” Putting on his old coat, full of darns and patches (补丁), he ran out of the house without another word.

The ball flew into the net. “Bill, you never miss!” Joe said admiringly. “Unless I’m in a real game,” Bill complained. “Then I miss all the time.” Joe knew that Bill was right. Bill performed much better when he was having fun with Joe in the school yard than he did when he was playing for the school team in front of a large crowd. “Maybe you just need to practice more,” Joe suggested. “But I practice all the time with you!” Bill disagreed. He shook his head, “I just can’t play well when people are watching me.” “You play well when I’m watching,” Joe pointed out. “That’s because I’ve known you since we were five years old,” Bill said with a smile. “I’m just not comfortable playing when other people are around.” Joe nodded and understood, but he also had an idea. The next day Joe and Bill met in the school yard again to practice. After a few minutes, Joe excused himself. “Practice without me,” Joe said to his friend. “I’ll be back in a minute.” Joe hurried through the school building, gathering together whomever he could find—two students, a maths teacher, two secretaries, and a janitor. When Joe explained why he needed them, everyone was happy to help. Joe reminded the group to stay quiet as they all went toward the school’s basketball court. As Joe had hoped, Bill was still practicing basketball. He made five baskets in a row without noticing the silent people standing behind him. “Hey, Bill!” Joe called out finally. Bill turned.

You will hardly recognize her, as you have never seen her since she was one year old.” Hearing that the old man asked curtly. “But what has the child to do with me up here?” Dete made answer, “The child is here to stay with you. I have done my duty for these four years, and I have to go because the family I had waited on asked me to go to Frankfurt. You are the next of kin (亲属) to the child.” As she uttered her last words, Uncle looked at her and said to her in a commanding voice, “Get back, and do not let me see your face again.” Dete did not wait to be told twice. “Good-bye to you then, and to you too, Heidi,” she called. As soon as Dete had disappeared, the old man went back to his bench. Heidi, meanwhile, was enjoying herself in her new surroundings. “Come!” and the grandfather went before her towards the hut. “Bring your clothes in with you,” he asked her as she was following. “I shan’t want them any more” was her prompt answer. The old man turned and looked searchingly at the child, whose dark eyes were sparkling in delighted anticipation of what she was going to see inside. “She is certainly not wanting wisdom,” he murmured to himself. “And why shall you not want them any more?” he asked aloud. “Because I want to go about like the goats with their thin light legs.” Heidi asked, “Where am I to sleep, grandfather?” “Wherever you like,” he answered. Heidi was delighted. In the corner near her grandfather’s bed she saw a short ladder against the wall; up she climbed and found herself in the hay loft. “I shall sleep up here, grandfather,” she called down to him, “It’s lovely, up here. Come up and see how lovely it is!” “Oh, I know all about it,” he called up in answer. In the middle of the night the old man got up. “The child will be frightened,” he murmured. He mounted the ladder and went and stood by the child’s bed. Outside the moonlight was falling through the round window straight on to Heidi’s bed. She lay under the heavy cover lid, her cheeks rosy with sleep, her head peacefully resting on her little round arm, and with a happy expression on her baby face as if dreaming of something pleasant.

Ahmed had been competing in cyclocross for three years, but this was Ryan’s first race. He wished he could remember everything Ahmed had taught him. Ryan reviewed the last six months in his mind. From the moment, Ahmed had first asked whether he would like to try the sport, Ryan had been excited. Ahmed helped Ryan find safety gear. He also explained the importance of practising and set up a plan for the two friends to practise together. Practising was hard. Ryan soon grew bored with working on the same skills over and over. He was ready to race! Ryan ended up skipping (不参加) many of the practices. When Ryan did go to practices, he spent more time doing tricks with his bike than he did listening to Ahmed’s tips. “Now the real fun begins,” Ryan thought as he sat at the starting line. “You need to get serious,” Ahmed warned. “Cyclocross can be dangerous.” Bang! The starting gun went off. The boys rushed off the starting line. Ryan saw the first obstacle (障碍) ahead. It was a series of small hurdles. “Here I go!” Ryan shouted when he reached the hurdles. He jumped off his bike and landed hard on his foot. Next, he had to get his bike onto his shoulder. Ryan could not remember what Ahmed said about shouldering the bike. He tried to pick it up by the wheels but dropped. Finally, he got his bike off the ground. As he ran, he tried to balance the bike on his shoulder. The bike was heavy, and his ankle hurt. Before he knew it, he was lying face-down in the mud. “Are you okay?” Ryan heard his friend ask. Ahmed reached down to help Ryan. Ryan was thankful that Ahmed cared more about him than about the race. He caught Ahmed’s hand and stood. “Ouch!” Ryan cried. It hurt to put weight on his ankle. “You were right, Ahmed. Cyclocross is about more than strength and speed. Can we spend a few more months training together? I want to finish my next cyclocross race!” 1．What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 3? A．To provide more information about cyclocross. B．To show Ryan’s efforts in practising cyclocross. C．To introduce the safety rules of the cyclocross race. D．To leave clues about why Ryan failed in the cyclocross race. 2．Which of the following best describes Ahmed? A．Curious but lazy. B．Friendly but impatient. C．Organized and helpful. D．Confident and humorous. 3．What may happen next according to the passage? A．Ryan will end his friendship with Ahmed. B．Ryan will become serious and train harder. C．Ryan will skip more of the cyclocross practices. D．Ryan will certainly win the next cyclocross race. 4．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Safety First, Friendship Second B．Cyclocross—Strength and Speed C．A Lesson Learned the Hard Way D．Six Months Spent on the Practice 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文讲述了Ryan首次参加自行车越野赛的经历。 1．主旨大意题。根据第三段的描述可知，Ryan在训练中缺乏耐心、忽视练习、沉迷技巧，暗示他在比赛中失败的原因（如摔倒、无法正确扛车）。这些细节为后文的失败埋下伏笔。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“Ahmed helped Ryan find safety gear...explained the importance of practising and set up a plan”以及比赛中“Ahmed reached down to help Ryan”可知，Ahmed始终有条理地指导Ryan（制定计划）、主动提供帮助（找装备、赛后关心）。可以看出他有条理，乐于助人。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据结尾Ryan的反思“Can we spend a few more months training together? I want to finish my next race!”可知，他意识到训练的重要性，并请求Ahmed继续帮助。结合前文他因不认真训练而失败，可推断他会严肃对待训练。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。全文围绕Ryan因轻视训练导致比赛失败，最终领悟，核心是通过挫折学习教训。故选C。 （2022·江苏南京·中考真题）。 Wednesday Today it snowed for the first time this winter, and school was cancelled. We were supposed to have a test in Pre-Algebra, and I’ve been lazy ever since I became a Safety Patrol. So I was excited. I called Rowley and told him to come over. We have been talking about building the world’s biggest snowman for the past couple of years now. And when I say the world’s biggest snowman, I’m not joking. Our goal is to get into the “Guinness Book of World Records”. But every year we’ve got serious about going for the record, all the snow has melted (融化), and we’ve missed our window of opportunity. So this year, I wanted to get started right away. When Rowley came over, we started rolling (滚) the first snowball to make the base. I thought the base was going to have to be at least eight feet tall on its own if we wanted to have a shot at breaking the record. But the snowball got very heavy, and we had to take a bunch of breaks in between rolls so we could catch our breath. During one of our breaks, Mom came outside to go to the grocery store, but our snowball was blocking her car in. So we got a little free labour out of her. After our break we pushed that snowball until we couldn’t push it any further. But when we looked behind us, we saw the mess we had made. The snowball had got so heavy that it tore up all the turf (草皮) Dad had just laid down last autumn. I was hoping it would snow a few more inches and cover up our tracks, but just like that, it stopped snowing. Our plan to build the world’s biggest snowman was starting to fall apart. So I came up with better idea for our snowball. Every time it snows, the kids from Whirley Street use our hill for sledging, even though this isn’t their neighbourhood. So tomorrow morning, when the Whirley Street kids come marching up our hill, we are going to teach those guys a lesson. 1．Why was the school cancelled today? A．The bad weather. B．A test in Pre-Algebra. C．The Safety Patrol’s task. D．A plan for breaking the record. 2．What do the underlined words “window of opportunity” mean? A．A wonderful chance to sledge. B．A short time to make a snowman. C．A pleasant break from having the test. D．A narrow space for rolling a snowball. 3．Which picture can best show the mess the two boys made? A．B．C． D． 4．What does “a better idea for our snowball” probably mean? A．Asking parents to make the snowball bigger. B．Using the snowball to enter the “Guinness Book”. C．Making the biggest snowman with neighbouring kids. D．Preventing the Whirley Street kids sledging with the snowball. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和他的朋友Rowley想要打破建造最大雪人的世界纪录，但是由于雪球太重，他们的计划被打乱了。最后，作者想到了一个更好的主意。 1．细节理解题。根据“Today it snowed for the first time this winter, and school was cancelled.”可知由于天气原因，学校停课不上学了。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据“But every year we’ve got serious about going for the record, all the snow has melted (融化)”可知作者每年都想借下雪的机会滚一个创造纪录的雪球，但因为雪通常在想成功创造纪录之前就融化了。说明机会期很短，转瞬即逝的机会，故划线部分表示“做雪人的时间很短”。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“The snowball had got so heavy that it tore up all the turf (草皮) Dad had just laid down last autumn.”可知雪球太重了，把爸爸去年秋天刚铺好的草皮都撕碎了。图C，符合该描述。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“Every time it snows, the kids from Whirley Street use our hill for sledging, even though this isn’t their neighbourhood. So tomorrow morning, when the Whirley Street kids come marching up our hill, we are going to teach those guys a lesson.”可知，作者建造世界上最大的雪人的计划开始破灭了。因此，想出了一个更好的雪球点子。每次下雪，惠利街的孩子们都来这个小山坡滑雪橇，即使这并不是他们的社区。所以明天早上，当惠利街的孩子们走上小山坡时，要给那些家伙一个教训，因此推测作者打算防止惠利街的孩子们用雪球拉雪橇。故选D。 （2022·江苏南京·中考真题）。 Long ago there was an old candy peddler.

We collectively agreed that moving to the countryside would be the perfect solution. After some searching, we found a home in Yucca, Arizona, a small town with a population of less than 1,000 people. However, when I called to ask about the condition of the house, I was surprised to know that there was no electricity available in the area. Initially, I almost denied the idea of living here, but then I realized that it was an excellent opportunity to go green. After careful consideration, we decided to make an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day. In the beginning, we faced challenges as we remodeled (改造) the house and lived in our motor home. However, these frustrations just made us work harder. We gradually fixed the things and after 38 days, we were able to move into the house. Living off the grid (电线) has been a significant adjustment for us over the past four months, but it has also brought numerous benefits. One of the most educational lessons we have learned is teaching my kids the importance of conservation.

On Tuesday, Sam’s father lost his job. Then on Wednesday, Sam’s mother announced that the rent (房租) on their apartment was going up. Now it was Friday, and Sam received an invitation from Rosa to her birthday party. Sam knew Rosa from Adventure Club. He knew he would enjoy Rosa’s party, but he didn’t want to go without a gift. What could he possibly buy her with the little bit of money he had? Sam knew he couldn’t ask Mom or Dad for any money—not this week! Later that afternoon, Sam noticed a second-hand book sale going on. He went there and had a quick look. Two books caught his eye. The first was a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods, and the second was a book about woman explorers. “Rosa would like these,” Sam thought, “but would it be tacky (蹩脚的) to give her second-hand books for her birthday?” Sam decided that a second-hand gift was better than no gift at all. Besides, Rosa supported recycling in that way. So, she would probably like it. With his last dollar, Sam bought the books and went home. He felt a little better. The party was on Saturday. Rosa opened all her gifts and thanked everyone for the nice things they had given her. She paused when she opened Sam’s gift, which made him wonder if she liked the books, but nothing was said. When Sam got home, he opened his e-mail and found this note from Rosa.Dear Sam, Of all the gifts I received today, yours was the nicest. How did you know I would love a book about woman explorers and a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods? Now I have something to read that will inspire me to follow my dream of becoming an adventurer, and I have a book that I can share with my grandmother. She is getting older and wants to be sure her granddaughter knows how to make the wonderful foods of Puerto Rico. Thank you so much.

The kingdoms were often at war, so good military leaders were important. One such leader was Tian Ji, a general in the State of Qi. Tian Ji’s best friend was Sun Bin. Sun Bin had been a military official in the State of Wei. After he was unfairly fired from his job, he moved to the State of Qi. Sun Bin taught Tian Ji a lot about military strategy. At that time, horse racing was the most popular entertainment for the rich. People bet money on the races. Tian Ji was a fan of horse racing, but he wasn’t very good at betting. One day, Tian Ji again lost money at the races. He went home feeling sorry for himself. When Sun Bin saw how sad Tian Ji was, he said, “Take me with you next time. Maybe I can help you win!” A week later, Tian Ji did just that. Sun Bin learned how the races worked very quickly. He saw that the horses were divided into three types according to speed. First-class horses were the fastest, and third-class horses were the slowest. Each type had their own race and people bet on each race. In order to win the overall bet, a person only needed to win two of the three races. Sun Bin also noticed that each type had a different saddle color. This was to tell the different horses apart. Soon, Sun Bin developed a strategy to help Tian Ji. “Trust me,” he told Tian Ji. “I know exactly how you can win!” Tian Ji got so excited he challenged the king to a race. Tian Ji did everything that Sun Bin told him to do. For the first race, he put the first-class saddle on his third-class horse. The king’s first-class horse easily beat Tian Ji’s third-class horse. For the second race, Sun Bin told Tian Ji to put the second-class saddle on his first-class horse. And sure enough, Tian Ji won the second race. His first-class horse was better than the king’s second-class horse. Finally, for the third race, Tian Ji used his second-class horse. Once again, he won. This time it was against the king’s third-class horse. The king was shocked. Tian Ji was the overall winner. The king congratulated Tian Ji, but he was curious. “Tian Ji, where did you get such good horses?” he asked. “Your Majesty,” Tian Ji replied, “I did not win because I found great horses. I won because of the strategy I used. It was Sun Bin’s strategy, and it worked!” “Really?” said the king. “What exactly was this strategy?” Tian Ji told the king all about how he switched horses. He explained how Sun Bin knew that even when two opponents were unevenly matched, a strategy could be used to minimize losses. In this case, losing only once meant that Tian Ji was still the overall winner. Hearing this, the king immediately made Sun Bin the military adviser for the whole army. Sun Bin’s strategies and Tian Ji’s leadership led the State of Qi to many military victories. 1．What’s “kingdom” mean? A．People are fighting in the war. B．Rulers are killing people.

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. 1．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.

For the past five years, she has sailed around the world with Guirec Soudee, a French sailor (船员) who spoke to Week Junior about their journey. Soudee’s trip began from Yvince, his hometown in the northwest of France. After working as a sailor and a fisherman, he saved up for two years and bought an old boat. He set off alone around the world, aged 21, having spent only two hours practising how to sail it. Before crossing the Atlantic Ocean, Soudee stopped in the Canary Islands, off the coast of north-west Africa, and it was here that he met Monique. Soudee was given the chicken by some friends. “My plan was to have a hen to stay with and have fresh eggs,” he said. People had warned him that a hen wouldn’t lay eggs at sea because it would be too stressed. However, Monique laid an egg on her first day on the boat and then laid 25 eggs in 28 days. “Monique and I became very close. I talked to her every day and I knew she understood me,” Soudee said. “I taught her how to swim, how to surf. We shared everything together. ” Soudee and Monique finally finished their 5, 000-mile journey around the world in December 2018. Monique was the perfect travel partner. “The only trouble was that I needed to clean Monique’s waste.” Soudee explained. “It was fine if it was outside, then you could wash it off with water. But inside the boat on your bed is not the same.” There were some scary moments on the trip. They met 13-metre waves near Antarctica (南极) and were stuck in the ice on Greenland for 130 days, 70 of which were in darkness. Soudee couldn’t fish because of the ice, and he said Monique’s eggs saved him. Soudee has now written a book called The Hen Who Sailed Around the World: A True Story. … “We’ve got lots of plans for future adventures (日险), ” Soudee said. “I want to get a bigger boat and hopefully Monique will have some chicks and then we can take them too.” 1．Where did Soudee meet Monique?

The Marionette, as soon as his hunger was appeased, started to grumble and cry that he wanted a new pair of feet. But Mastro Geppetto, in order to punish him for his mischief (淘气), let him alone the whole morning. After dinner, he said to him: “Why should I make your feet over again? To see you run away from home once more? “ “I promise you,” answered the Marionette, sobbing, “that from now on I’ll be good…” “Boys always promise that when they want something,” said Geppetto. “I promise to go to school every day, to study, and to succeed.” “Boys always sing that song when they want their own will.” “But I am not like other boys! I am better than all of them and I always tell the truth. I promise you, Father, that I’ll learn a trade, and I’ll be the comfort and staff of your old age.” Geppetto, though trying to look very stern, felt his eyes fill with tears and his heart soften when he saw Pinocchio so unhappy. He said no more, but taking his tools and two pieces of wood, he set to work diligently. In less than an hour the feet were finished, two slender, nimble little feet, strong and quick, modeled as if by an artist’s hands. “Close your eyes and sleep!” Geppetto then said to the Marionette. Pinocchio closed his eyes and pretended (假装) to be asleep, while Geppetto stuck on the two feet with a bit of glue melted in an eggshell, doing his work so well that the joint could hardly be seen. As soon as the Marionette felt his new feet, he gave one leap from the table and started to skip and jump around, as if he had lost his head from very joy. “To show you how grateful I am to you, Father, I’ll go to school now. But to go to school I need a suit of clothes.” Geppetto did not have a penny in his pocket, so he made his son a little suit of flowered paper, a pair of shoes from the bark of a tree, and a tiny cap from a bit of dough. Pinocchio ran to look at himself in a bowl of water, and he felt so happy that he said proudly: “Now I look like a gentleman.” “Truly,” answered Geppetto. “But remember that fine clothes do not make the man unless they be neat and clean.” “Very true,” answered Pinocchio, “but, in order to go to school, I still need something very important.” “What is it?” “An A-B-C book.” Putting on his old coat, full of darns and patches (补丁), he ran out of the house without another word. After a while he returned. In his hands, he had the A-B-C book for his son, but the old coat was gone. The poor fellow was in his shirt sleeves and the day was cold. “Where’s your coat, Father?” “I have sold it.” “Why did you sell it?” “It’s too warm.” Pinocchio understood the answer in a twinkling, and, unable to restrain his tears, he jumped on his father’s neck and kissed him over and over. —Adapted from The Adventures of Pinocchio 1．According to the story, which of the following character relationships is correct?

The ball flew into the net. “Bill, you never miss!” Joe said admiringly. “Unless I’m in a real game,” Bill complained. “Then I miss all the time.” Joe knew that Bill was right. Bill performed much better when he was having fun with Joe in the school yard than he did when he was playing for the school team in front of a large crowd. “Maybe you just need to practice more,” Joe suggested. “But I practice all the time with you!” Bill disagreed. He shook his head, “I just can’t play well when people are watching me.” “You play well when I’m watching,” Joe pointed out. “That’s because I’ve known you since we were five years old,” Bill said with a smile. “I’m just not comfortable playing when other people are around.” Joe nodded and understood, but he also had an idea. The next day Joe and Bill met in the school yard again to practice. After a few minutes, Joe excused himself. “Practice without me,” Joe said to his friend. “I’ll be back in a minute.” Joe hurried through the school building, gathering together whomever he could find—two students, a maths teacher, two secretaries, and a janitor. When Joe explained why he needed them, everyone was happy to help. Joe reminded the group to stay quiet as they all went toward the school’s basketball court. As Joe had hoped, Bill was still practicing basketball. He made five baskets in a row without noticing the silent people standing behind him. “Hey, Bill!” Joe called out finally. Bill turned. A look of surprise came over his face. “I just wanted to show you that you could play well with people watching you,” Joe said. “Now you’ll have nothing to worry about for the next game!” 1．What would be the best title for the story?

Chinese writer Hai Ya took home an award for his book “The Space-Time Painter” and he became the third Chinese writer to win a Hugo award after Liu Cixin in 2015 and Hao Jingfang in 2016. When creating the novel, Hai Ya drew his idea from a famous painting, A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains (《千里江山图》). It was painted by Wang Ximeng from the Song Dynasty (宋朝). According to Wang’s life, Hai created a painter named Zhao Ximeng who drew pictures for the emperor 1,000 years ago. After going through many hard times, Zhao’s mind leaves his body and enters a space where a modern policeman is trying to solve a crime about an ancient painting. Hai Ya’s story with science fiction (科幻小说) began in his childhood. “When I was a child, the bookstore in my hometown helped create a beautiful garden in my mind that belonged to me only. In it, science fiction offered the most beautiful ‘flowers’,” Hai Ya told Beijing Youth Daily. He added that science fiction opened a new world for him as a kid. ___★___ These two styles seem totally opposite: One looks back at the past, and the other faces the future. However, in Hai Ya’s works, they find a perfect balance (平衡). “If we can only imagine the future and things in space like rockets, our imagination will be controlled,” Hai Ya said in another interview. “I don’t think history is something completely in the past. It is moving, and we can make predictions about the future by looking back at history. History is also part of our future,” he added. 1．What’s para. 1 mainly about? A．A writer winning a Hugo award.

You will hardly recognize her, as you have never seen her since she was one year old.” Hearing that the old man asked curtly. “But what has the child to do with me up here?” Dete made answer, “The child is here to stay with you. I have done my duty for these four years, and I have to go because the family I had waited on asked me to go to Frankfurt. You are the next of kin (亲属) to the child.” As she uttered her last words, Uncle looked at her and said to her in a commanding voice, “Get back, and do not let me see your face again.” Dete did not wait to be told twice. “Good-bye to you then, and to you too, Heidi,” she called. As soon as Dete had disappeared, the old man went back to his bench. Heidi, meanwhile, was enjoying herself in her new surroundings. “Come!” and the grandfather went before her towards the hut. “Bring your clothes in with you,” he asked her as she was following. “I shan’t want them any more” was her prompt answer. The old man turned and looked searchingly at the child, whose dark eyes were sparkling in delighted anticipation of what she was going to see inside. “She is certainly not wanting wisdom,” he murmured to himself. “And why shall you not want them any more?” he asked aloud. “Because I want to go about like the goats with their thin light legs.” Heidi asked, “Where am I to sleep, grandfather?” “Wherever you like,” he answered. Heidi was delighted. In the corner near her grandfather’s bed she saw a short ladder against the wall; up she climbed and found herself in the hay loft. “I shall sleep up here, grandfather,” she called down to him, “It’s lovely, up here. Come up and see how lovely it is!” “Oh, I know all about it,” he called up in answer. In the middle of the night the old man got up. “The child will be frightened,” he murmured. He mounted the ladder and went and stood by the child’s bed. Outside the moonlight was falling through the round window straight on to Heidi’s bed. She lay under the heavy cover lid, her cheeks rosy with sleep, her head peacefully resting on her little round arm, and with a happy expression on her baby face as if dreaming of something pleasant. The old man stood looking down on the sleeping child until the moon disappeared behind the clouds and he could see no more, then he went back to bed. —Excerpt from Heidi, written by Johanna Spyri 1．Why did Dete leave Heidi with the old man?
