They had no home and needed a safe, warm place to rest. Pepper, the female dog, was pregnant, and Cooper stayed close to protect her. Gus Kiebel, a wildlife officer, was driving home when he saw the dogs in the snow. He noticed they wore collars with name tags. Gus stopped his truck and gently approached them. The dogs didn’t try to run away. He read their names and tried calling the number on their tags, but the snow made it hard to use his phone. Gus decided to take the dogs into his truck to keep them warm. He called the number again, but the owner said he didn’t want the dogs anymore. Realizing they were abandoned, Gus called his wife, Katie. She told him to bring them home because they couldn’t leave the dogs outside in the storm. That night, Gus and Katie gave the dogs food, water, and a warm bed on their porch. The two beagles stayed close to each other, showing how much they cared for one another. Although Gus had always wanted beagles, the couple already had a family dog and couldn’t keep Pepper and Cooper. The next day, Gus contacted a no-kill animal shelter. Katie brought the dogs there but made the staff promise to keep them together. She called often to check on them, glad to hear they were safe and cared for. A few days after Christmas, the shelter told her Pepper and Cooper had been adopted as a pair by a loving family. In the middle of a snowy winter, two abandoned dogs found a warm home, thanks to the kindness of strangers. 1．How did Gus realize Pepper and Cooper had been left behind? A．They walked along the snowy road. B．Their tags’ phone number didn’t work. C．The owner refused to take them back. D．They didn’t try to run away from Gus. 2．Which is similar in meaning to the underlined word “adopted”? A．Bought. B．Accepted. C．Treated. D．Moved. 3．What is the correct order of the story? a. Gus dialed the number on the dogs’ tags. b. Katie asked the shelter to keep them together. c. Gus brought the dogs inside his truck. d. The dogs were taken in by a kind family. A．a—c—b—d B．c—a—b—d C．a—b—c—d D．c—b—a—d 4．What is the best title for the story? A．Warm Place in the Snow B．Snowstorm and Poor Dogs C．A Helping Hand in the Cold D．Gus and the Beagles’ Journey 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了Gus Kiebel夫妇在寒冷的冬天收留了两只被遗弃的狗，并为它们找新家的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“He called the number again, but the owner said he didn’t want the dogs anymore. Realizing they were abandoned...”可知，Gus拨打了它们标签上的号码，但主人说他不想再养狗了，由此得知这两只狗被遗弃了。故选C。 2．词义猜测题。根据最后一段“A few days after Christmas, the shelter told her Pepper and Cooper had been adopted as a pair by a loving family.”可知，圣诞节后几天，收容所告诉她，这两只狗已被一个充满爱的家庭收养。adopt意为“收养”，所以与adopt意思相近的词是accept。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第二段“He read their names and tried calling the number on their tags”可知，a排在第一；根据第三段“Gus decided to take the dogs into his truck to keep them warm.”可知，c排在第二；根据第五段“She called often to check on them, glad to hear they were safe and cared for.”可知，b排在第三；根据第五段“A few days after Christmas, the shelter told her Pepper and Cooper had been adopted as a pair by a loving family.”可知，d排在第四。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。根据最后一段“In the middle of a snowy winter, two abandoned dogs found a warm home, thanks to the kindness of strangers.”并结合全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了Gus Kiebel夫妇在寒冷的冬天收留了两只被遗弃的狗，并为它们找新家的故事。选项C“寒冷中的援助之手”最适合作为本文标题。故选C。 2025年江苏省泰州市靖江市中考一模英语试题 Good luck, Mr. Bad Luck!

I’m a hiker (徒步者) from Italy. I have been a fan of Italian traveler Marco Polo since childhood, which later led me to become a tour guide. Years of hiking have helped me stay healthy. Even at 75, I still have no need for reading glasses. About 20 years ago, my interest in China was started by a student from Beijing who stayed in my home. The connections we made and the friendships we developed made me more curious about China. Following that, I found myself interested in The Travels of Marco Polo, reading it over and over again to understand China through its descriptions. The description of the ancient Silk Road in the book attracted me deeply. In 2018, the idea of hiking along the ancient Silk Road came to me, which encouraged me to plan a journey covering 22, 000 kilometers from Venice to Beijing, passing through 15 countries in three to four years. At first, my children thought it was impossible. However, as they saw the details of my plan, they gave me their full support. My journey began on April 26, 2022. For more than two years, I experienced many challenges: bad weather, tiredness and lonely moments. I walked through mountains and waters, and crossed cities and villages in different countries. Along the way, I learned about the history, culture, and customs of each country I visited. As I explored the remains of the ancient Silk Road, I was shocked by the changes that our world has experienced. I also witnessed that the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), continuing the spirit of the ancient Silk Road, has helped more and more people across different countries. Today, walking on the same “golden ancient route” with Marco Polo’s book in hand, I feel proud. Looking back on my journey, I want to tell friends of my age: Be brave in pursuing (追求) your dreams-nothing is impossible! 1．What first made Vienna interested in China? A．A book she read in childhood. B．A tour guide she met in Venice. C．A documentary about the Silk Road. D．A Chinese student staying at her home. 2．Why did Vienna’s children finally support her travel plan? A．They doubted its possibility. B．Marco Polo’s book attracted them, C．She prepared very carefully. D．The journey was well worth a visit. 3．What can be inferred about Vienna’s journey? A．It was a smooth hike through wonderful landscapes. B．It was a shocking hike because of terrible conditions. C．It was a long trip witnessing the BRI’s influence. D．It was a meaningful trip with government’s support. 4．What message does Vienna want to share? A．Technology has changed history. B．Never give up on your dreams. C．Reading books is the best hobby. D．Keeping healthy is important. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．B 【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Vienna Cammarota，一位来自意大利的徒步者，因对中国产生兴趣，计划并完成了一次从威尼斯到北京、穿越15个国家、行程22000公里的徒步旅行。她沿途经历了许多挑战，也见证了“一带一路”倡议对不同国家人民的帮助。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“About 20 years ago, my interest in China was started by a student from Beijing who stayed in my home.”可知，Vienna对中国的兴趣始于一位住在她家的北京学生。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“However, as they saw the details of my plan, they gave me their full support.”可知，Vienna的孩子们在看到她详细的计划后，给了她全力支持。由此可以推断，Vienna的孩子们最终支持她的旅行计划是因为她准备得非常仔细。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“I also witnessed that the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), continuing the spirit of the ancient Silk Road, has helped more and more people across different countries.”可知，Vienna的旅程见证了“一带一路”倡议对不同国家人民的帮助。由此可以推断，她的旅程是一次见证“一带一路”倡议影响力的长途旅行。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Looking back on my journey, I want to tell friends of my age: Be brave in pursuing (追求) your dreams-nothing is impossible!”可知，Vienna想分享的信息是：要勇敢地追求你的梦想——没有什么是不可能的！即不要放弃你的梦想。故选B。 2025年江苏省无锡市梁溪区中考一模英语试题 The bell rang. I picked up my backpack and headed for Writing Club. “Today, we’ll share stories with critique partners,” said Miss Lisa. My partner, Penny, sat across from me. We shared our stories nervously. While I had no trouble coming up with ideas, I did have problems with spelling. And grammar. And punctuation. I read her story without stopping. It was about a homeless dog named Sunny who saved a family during a storm. Finally, the family welcomed Sunny. “Wow, excellent story! I really love it!” I said. “Yours too.” But she did not even look at me as she passed mine back. When the club ended, Penny jumped up and picked up her backpack. Everything fell out. I noticed a book named Sunny the Brave. The description matched Penny’s story exactly. She had copied it! I thought about telling Miss Lisa, but she had already left. Outside of the school, I found Penny on a bench. “You dropped this,” I held out the book. She looked up, tears in her eyes. Suddenly, I wasn’t angry any more. My job as her critique partner was to give helpful feedback, not make her feel bad. But what could I say? After getting home, I decided to ask mom what I should do. I found her in the kitchen making dinner with dad. Dad cut vegetables into perfect shapes. Mom mixed a sauce on the stove. “Aidan, you’re just in time,” Mom said and held out a spoonful of sauce. “Taste this.” “It’s good, but I think ...” “It needs something, right?” she said. “I agree.” “Here’s a measuring spoon,” Dad said, “so you can make sure to use the right amount.” “I have an idea!” Mom added a teaspoon of a new spice into the sauce. “Now what did you want to talk about?” I realized that Mom and Dad had different skills, making them a great creative team. With Dad’s attention to detail and Mom’s sense of adventure, their dinners became delicious. “I think you already helped me,” I told her. At school the next morning, I found Penny at her locker. “I thought I would love writing, but I’m terrible at it,” she said. “I never have a single idea.” “Well. I have ideas, but my sentences aren’t always the best. I wish I could write like you do.” “I’d rather have ideas than write perfect sentences.” “I had a new idea. I bet we could come up with something great! Let’s talk to Miss Lisa ...” 1．Which role should “critique partners” play in the writing club? A．Competing to see who does better. B．Avoiding giving advice to the other. C．Supporting each other to improve. D．Working on pointing out mistakes. 2．How did I feel after talking with Penny at the locker? A．Hopeful. B．Surprised. C．Peaceful. D．Ashamed. 3．What can we infer from the passage about Aidan and Penny? A．Aidan will be the big mouth to tell Miss Lisa. B．Neither of them will be in the soup about the task. C．Penny is the best word master in the class. D．Both of them regret having lied to Miss Lisa. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在写作俱乐部和搭档Penny互相分享故事时，发现Penny抄袭了一本书里的故事，作者很纠结要不要告诉老师，回家后从父母做晚饭这件事上得到启发，最后和Penny决定合作一起创作出好作品的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据文章“My job as her critique partner was to give helpful feedback, not make her feel bad.”以及最后一段“I bet we could come up with something great! Let’s talk to Miss Lisa ...” 可知，作为评阅搭档，职责应是提供有用的反馈，而不是让对方难堪，作者最终选择与Penny合作，而非单纯指出错误或竞争，体现了支持彼此，互相进步，所以“评阅搭档”的角色应该是互相支持、共同改进。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据文章最后“I bet we could come up with something great! Let’s talk to Miss Lisa ...” 可知，作者和Penny在储物柜交谈后，作者觉得他们能一起创作出好作品，所以作者是充满希望的。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后“I’d rather have ideas than write perfect sentences.”以及“I bet we could come up with something great! Let’s talk to Miss Lisa ...”可推断出，两人计划合作，因此不会因任务陷入困境。B项“他们俩都不会因为这项任务而陷入困境。”与原文相符。故选B。 2025年江苏省无锡市宜兴市中考一模英语试题 Olivia, Emma, and Connor were excited about the first meeting of the Inquiry (探究) Club that year. The Club was a group of students looking for answers to their questions. They met every Friday after school. Last year, they discovered rubbish on the grass in front of the school. They asked many questions and learned that the wind blew it there from cans across the street. They made sure the rubbish got picked up and that it didn’t happen again. Mr. Armstrong was the club’s advisor. He reviewed and passed their projects and helped guide them in their inquiries. “What ideas do you have for a big project this fall?” he asked. “I have an idea,” Emma said. “At home, I eat really healthy food with my family. Here at school, there aren’t many healthy foods for lunch.” “I think some students here don’t even know what healthy foods are,” Olivia said. She frowned. “We could ask them what kinds of foods they eat at home,” Connor said, “and then we can compare that list against what the school cafeteria serves.” “Great idea,” Mr. Armstrong said. “See what you can find out and report back to me on Friday.” The club decided that each member would work on a different part of the project. “I’ll do the first part,” Connor said. “I’ll come up with the questions we want to ask about healthy foods. Then I can ask the questions in each class.” The girls agreed. “When you’re done, I can collect and organize the results,” Olivia said. “Then I can write the report,” Emma said. Connor went off to the library to work on the list of questions. It was harder than he thought. He sat for a long time just trying to come up with the questions. He thought about what they wanted to learn from the other students. He decided to keep the questions simple. They wanted to know which foods the students ate at home compared to school. To make it easy, he came up with a list of healthy foods and a list of unhealthy foods. The students could choose what they ate from the lists. He also decided to keep track of how old each student was, in case that made a difference in their answers. Connor went to the first classroom to ask some questions for the Inquiry Club. The teacher gave him five minutes. He hardly had time to write down all the answers. He hurried to the other classrooms. Even though he had collected a lot of information, he still needed to collect more. It would take him too long to visit all of the classrooms. He was going to need some help. 1．When Olivia frowned, she most probably felt ________. A．afraid B．nervous C．worried D．bored 2．Which of the following shows the right order of making an inquiry? a. Write the report.     b. Search for a topic. c. Create questions.     d. Collect and organize results.

B．The club’s advisor checked the projects and gave students help and advice. C．The club did many after-school activities to improve the school environment. D．The club members were sure that they could move forward easily and quickly. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了几个学生为了学校餐厅的健康饮食问题而做的一个探究。 1．推理判断题。根据“Here at school, there aren’t many healthy foods for lunch.”可知，在学校里，午餐吃的健康食品不多。Olivia对于学校午餐没有健康食物这件事表示担忧。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“What ideas do you have for a big project this fall?”可知，他们首先需要确定主题。根据“I’ll come up with the questions we want to ask about healthy foods.

Although I have few regrets about my education, there are a few things I wish I’d known earlier as a girl. 1. Keep Trying Even If You Fail As kids, we try new things fearlessly. If we make mistakes, we keep trying until we learn. But once school starts, parents and teachers usually only praise us when we do things perfectly. What happens? We stop trying new things because we’re afraid of getting them wrong. I now remind myself: “I refuse to quit halfway until I make it.” 2. Compare Yourself to Yourself I always wanted to be the best, and one way of feeling good about myself was to see how much better I was than others. There was only one problem with this. When I saw they were better than me, I felt terrible. But now, instead of comparing myself to others, I ask: “Did I give my best effort?” 3. Don’t Worry Too Much How much energy do we waste worrying about the future? I used to worry a lot. Now I know most things you fear usually never happen. If they happen, then they will most often not be as bad as you expected. Yes, most fears are imaginary. In 6 months, you probably won’t even remember most of the things you worry about now. If I could go back in time, I would tell my younger self these three important lessons. They would have helped me face challenges with more confidence. 1．What does “afraid of getting them wrong” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Scared of making mistakes. B．Happy to try new things. C．Excited about challenges. D．Angry at failing tests. 2．How does the writer deal with competition now? A．She avoids competing with others to stay happy. B．She tries to improve herself instead of comparing. C．She works much harder than others to be the best. D．She asks friends for help when facing challenges. 3．What does the writer think about worrying? A．Worrying helps us prepare for challenges. B．Most worries aren’t as bad as we imagine. C．People should worry more to avoid mistakes. D．Only smart people worry about the future. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The writer’s school memories. B．Why the writer regretted her education. C．How to make progress at school. D．Lessons the writer learned late in life. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在40岁时回顾自己过去的生活，特别是从学校毕业16年后的感悟。 1．词句猜测题。根据“We stop trying new things because we’re afraid of getting them wrong.”可知，作者因为害怕犯错而停止尝试新事物。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“But now, instead of comparing myself to others, I ask: ‘Did I give my best effort?’”可知，作者现在不再与他人比较，而是专注于自我提升。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Now I know most things you fear usually never happen. If they happen, then they will most often not be as bad as you expected.”可知，作者认为大多数担忧并不像我们想象的那么糟糕。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据“If I could go back in time, I would tell my younger self these three important lessons.”可知，文章主要讲述了作者在人生后期学到的三个重要教训。故选D。 2025年江苏省扬州市邗江区中考一模英语试题 Then the spirit took Scrooge away from the ship.

That person is the set designer. But before building the real set, they create a small model. Lizzie Bracken designed the set for a play called You Think It’s Easy Being the Tooth Fairy? at Lifeline Theater in Chicago. Ophelia: Why do you make models? Lizzie: Most set designers starts with a model. It’s a fast way to see what the set will look like. You can take a model apart and put it back together and play with it and make sure everything works before you build the real one. I start with a lot of drawings. Once I can see what it looks like, I make a white model, no color, so we can see if all the pieces work. Then I add colors and decoration. Ophelia: What’s the model made of? Lizzie: Foam core (泡沫板) and illustration (插图) board, I measure, cut, and glue them together. For furniture, I buy miniatures from dollhouse or model train shops. These stores have surprising items like trees, lamps, and tiny furniture. Ophelia: The play is about a three-inch-tall tooth fairy. How did you make an adult actor look small? Lizzie: Oh, we used creative tricks! The prop (道具) designer, Jenny Pinson, made some huge quarters (25-cent coins) for the fairy to collect. To her, these coins looked like dinner plates—heavy enough for weightlifting! We also built a giant four-foot puppet hand. The fairy would open it to take out a huge tooth. A giant cat paw swiping at them added more fun. Just the few props helped the audience imagine the fairy’s tiny world. Ophelia: What’s your next project? Lizzie: Maybe Frankenstein… that would be so fun to work on. Ophelia: Thanks for sharing! 1．What is the type of this passage? A．A letter. B．A play. C．An interview. D．A story. 2．What does Lizzie do?

The government paid Mrs. Mann to look after children like Oliver. She looked after about twenty or thirty children like him. She knew exactly what the children needed, but she also knew exactly what she needed. As a result, she spent most of the money on herself. The children were always hungry, and sometimes they starved to death. Sometimes one would fall in the fire while Mrs. Mann was not looking or die of cold in the winter. Somehow, Oliver stayed alive. On his ninth birthday, Oliver was small, thin, and pale. He and two other boys told Mrs. Mann that they were hungry. Mrs. Mann said they were not hungry. She hit them and locked all three of them in the cellar (地下室). This was their punishment for complaining. When Mrs. Mann looked out of the window, she was surprised to see the beadle (小官吏) at the gate, trying to get in. The beadle was an officer from the government. He thought he was an important officer. He was very fat, but he had a beautiful uniform, which made him feel even more important. When Mrs. Mann saw him, she quickly told her helper to get the three boys out of the cellar and clean their faces and hands. She pretended she was very pleased to see the beadle, whose name was Mr. Bumble, and gave him a glass of gin to drink. Mr. Bumble told Mrs. Mann that he was going to take Oliver away because he was now nine years old. “We have never been able to find out anything about his father or mother,” he said. “We don’t even know their names. Oliver will work in the workhouse and earn his gruel (稀粥).” Mrs Mann was surprised nobody knew who Oliver’s parents were and wondered how he got a name. “I gave it to him,” said the beadle. “I made it up myself.” Mrs. Mann brought Oliver to the beadle. “Would you like to come with me, Oliver?” asked Mr. Bumble. 1．How did Mrs. Mann deal with the money the government paid her?

Darcy, 61, woke up her two brothers, who had a rest after lunch. She helped Russell, 67, into his wheelchair. Her other brother Todd, 63, could manage with a walker. Both men were born with cerebral palsy (大脑性瘫痪). Darcy went to open the doors, but failed. The weight of the water on the other side kept it shut. Water went to knee deep in less than five minutes. Now Darcy helped Todd pull himself slowly up to the top stair. But stairs were impossible for Russell. He could not walk or bend (弯曲) his legs. Darcy tried to pull him up the stairs, but he shouted “I can’t, I can’t.” Darcy held on Russell’s belt, but he was nearly 170 pounds. She tried every position possible and managed to get him up a few steps. The water followed. Out the window, Darcy could already see cars floating by. Darcy would inch Russell up one step, only to see the water rise with them. At one point, Russell slipped (滑) back down a few steps, and they had to start again. In an hour, eight steps—three steps—several steps more. But they stopped when it required Russell’s body to bend. Darcy got a belt and tried to tie Russell to her, but it broke. The water still rose. Darcy had to sit beside Russell on the stairs. And waited. After a while, she noticed the water start to move back. At about 6:30 p.m., Hance, her granddaughter’s cousin, and his two friends came and helped them out. When Darcy tells the story of her escape, she cries when saying she could not leave her brothers. “I don’t want no more hurricane (飓风),” two brothers both repeat. 1．Which sentence should go in the empty box in Paragraph 3? A．the only way to go was up. B．she had to call someone to help. C．the problem was they were all over 60.

The weight of the water on the other side kept it shut. Water went to knee deep in less than five minutes.”和下文“Darcy helped Todd pull himself slowly up to the top stair.”可知，达西想开门，但是因为水的重量，门子打不开。达西想帮助托德爬到楼梯顶部。对他们来说，现在往上走，是现在唯一的选择。故选A。 2．篇章结构题。第一步，根据“Darcy helped Todd pull himself slowly up to the top stair.”可知，在洪水发生蔓延后，人物开始采取行动，爬上楼梯是自救行为。第二步，“Darcy held on Russell’s belt, but he was nearly 170 pounds.

Darcy had to sit beside Russell on the stairs. And waited.”可知，在前面尝试多种办法救助拉塞尔，继续等待救援。故选B。 3．主旨大意题。根据“When Darcy tells the story of her escape, she cries when saying she could not leave her brothers. “I don’t want no more hurricane ,” two brothers both repeat.”可知，文章讲述了，Darcy在洪水中拯救她兄弟的故事。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“When Darcy tells the story of her escape, she cries when saying she could not leave her brothers. ”可知，在发生危险时，Darcy没有丢下她的脑瘫的哥哥，可知，Darcy是勇敢和无私的。 2025年江苏省无锡市江阴市中考一模英语试题 My heart was beating so loudly that I was sure everyone could hear it over the noise of the boat motor. I jumped into the water and stood on my skis (滑水板). Slowly the boat moved forward, tightening (拉紧) up the ski rope. I held on for dear life to the handle on the end of the rope while Mum looked at me from the back of the boat with a smile that seemed to say, “I believe in you.” I was trying very hard to find my earlier feelings of excitement about learning to waterski. “Whose bright idea was this anyway?” I asked myself nervously. In my bright orange life jacket, I sat in the cool water moving up and down gently. I tried to keep the tips of my water skis pointing up out of the water as I had been shown. A wave of fear washed over me. There were just too many instructions to remember. My little sister Nikki cheered as she jumped up and down in the back of the boat next to Mum. Nikki had learnt to waterski at a very young age. I, on the other hand, always liked underwater sports such as diving. Moving on top of the water was going to be very different for me. But once I mastered (掌握) this, we would have another activity that the whole family could enjoy together. “Deep breath!” I reminded myself. Dad sped up the boat. “Here we go!” I thought wildly. Mum gave me a big thumbs-up, and the boat rushed forward and gave a strong pull. I pushed up on my legs as hard as I could and let out a scream. I was in fact standing on my skis, skimming across the water, but not for long. I fell forward and landed face down in the water. Thank goodness, I remembered to let go of the rope. My skis came off, and my life jacket kept me floating on the surface of the lake. “I don’t believe it,” I thought, turning over to my back with a big smile. “I almost felt like I was flying with wings.” “Let’s do it again.” I called to Dad as he circled the boat around to pick me up. The second time, the boat sped up again. Suddenly, I was flying. The world turned to be silent, broken only by Nikki’s shouts from the boat, “You did it!” Now the lake didn’t scare me anymore. It felt like home. 1．“I” asked the underlined question in paragraph 2 because ________. A．waterskiing was a quite dangerous sport B．my memory of correct instructions was lost C．the choice of waterskiing was completely wrong D．my excitement about waterskiing was turned into fear 2．The keys to my success in mastering waterskiing are ________. ① Nikki’s cheers  ② Mom’s encouragement  ③ Dad’s patient instructions  ④ My courage of keeping trying A．①②③ B．①②④ C．②③④ D．①③④ 3．Which can be the best title for the story? A．My Waterski Journey B．Let’s Do It Again C．Finding Wings on Water D．Family Fun on the Lake 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一位初次尝试滑水的年轻人从恐惧到克服心理障碍，最终在家人鼓励下成功滑行并享受水上飞翔快感的成长故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“I was trying very hard to find my earlier feelings of excitement about learning to waterski... A wave of fear washed over me.”可知，作者最初的兴奋感被恐惧取代。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Nikki cheered... Mum gave me a big thumbs-up... Dad sped up the boat... I pushed up on my legs as hard as I could... Let’s do it again.”可知，成功的关键包括妹妹的鼓励（①）、母亲的肯定（②）和作者的坚持（④），但未提及父亲的“耐心指导”（③）。故选B。 3．最佳标题题。全文围绕作者从恐惧到享受滑水的成长历程，最终以“I almost felt like I was flying with wings”和“It felt like home”点题，强调在水上找到自由与归属感。故选C。 2025年江苏省扬州市宝应县中考一模英语试题 Chalk is something you probably see and even use every day. But have you ever thought about turning it into carved (雕刻的) artwork using just a compass (圆规)? Shen Sihao, 31, started doing this in high school. Growing up in Luoyang, a city in Henan province known for its cultural relics (文物) and historical sites, Shen often used his compass to carve chalk into miniature versions (微缩版本) of cultural relics and ancient buildings he saw in history books or around Luoyang.“It’s a shame that I didn’t have much time back then to do more,” Shen reflected. After getting a job at an internet company in Beijing, Shen had free time, so he decided to realize his childhood dream. Since 2024, he has been sharing videos online showing off his chalk carvings, including tomb figures (俑), arrows, and more. His account (账号), Trifle in Break Time, has found a large following, especially among students. For Shen, the process of carving is just as fascinating as the end product. “Only by carving can I fully understand the structure, details and secrets of cultural relics,” Shen said. For example, while carving an ancient warrior, he studied a photo closely and realized that it looked a lot like Ultraman. “Maybe the design of Ultraman was inspired by an ancient Chinese warrior!” he said. To Shen, carving chalk not only helps him learn more about history and culture but has also taught him patience. “I often accidentally break my work when it’s almost done,” Shen said. “Patience and perseverance (毅力) are the key. It’s the same with life-when you rush or try too hard, it’s easy to break things.” 1．Why does Shen’s account attract many students? A．Because his videos show Ultraman. B．Because his carvings bring history to life. C．Because he shares how to carve in class. D．Because he works for an internet company. 2．The underlined word “fascinating” in Paragraph 4 means “________”. A．boring B．tiring C．attractive D．difficult 3．How did the carving process help Shen? A．It helped him to be brave like ancient Chinese warriors. B．It increased his interest in comic characters. C．It showed him how Chinese culture is similar to other cultures. D．It helped him understand Chinese cultural relics better. 4．What life lesson has Shen learned from carving? A．Try to be patient and never give up. B．Never push yourself too hard. C．Success lies in details. D．Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文讲述了沈思浩用圆规雕刻粉笔，展现文物、传承文化并收获了感悟。 1．细节理解题。根据“Since 2024, he has been sharing videos online showing off his chalk carvings, including tomb figures (俑), arrows, and more…has found a large following, especially among students.”可知，他的作品生动呈现了历史文化，因此吸引了对历史感兴趣的学生。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Only by carving can I fully understand the structure, details and secrets of cultural relics”可知，后文提到他通过雕刻“理解文物的秘密”，并发现古代武士与奥特曼的相似性，说明他对这一过程充满兴趣。因此，“fascinating”在此意为“吸引人的”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Only by carving can I fully understand the structure, details and secrets of cultural relics”可知，雕刻有助于他更好地了解中国文物。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“Patience and perseverance (毅力) are the key.  It’s the same with life—when you rush or try too hard, it’s easy to break things.”可知，最后一段指出，沈认为“耐心和毅力是关键”，并类比到生活中“匆忙或用力过猛容易毁掉事物”。选项A“保持耐心、永不放弃”准确概括了这一观点。选故A。 2025年江苏省无锡市惠山区中考一模英语试题 Finally, Professor Challenger had his chance to speak. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he began, “Mr. Waldron is not a real scientist. He only explains our work to the general public. He is wrong when he says that certain animals have already disappeared. Nobody here believes me, but I am prophet (先知) of science. I am like Galileo and Darwin, and I…” The Professor walked forward and put up both hands. Everybody became silent. ‘I won’t say any more. You can, however, test my ideas. Do you want to send somebody to prove that?” Then, the famous scientist Professor Summerlee stood up. “Are you talking about the discoveries that you made in the Amazon (亚马逊) two years ago?” asked Professor Summerlee. “Yes, I am,” replied Challenger. “And why didn’t Wallace, Bates and other famous explorers of that area see these things?” continued Summerlee. “Perhaps, sir, you have mixed up the Thames with the Amazon. It’s not strange that I saw things that they didn’t see.” “Yes, of course,” continued Summerlee, “I understand the difference. We can’t test or prove your discoveries.” “Will you go on a journey to test my discoveries?” “Yes, I will,” answered Summerlee, and the crowd cheered. “Then,” said Professor Challenger, “You will have all the information you need to go there. But you can’t go alone. Who will go with Professor Summerlee to the Amazon?” —Adapted from The Lost World 1．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 8 mean?

But you can’t go alone. Who will go with Professor Summerlee to the Amazon?”可知，Summerlee会带队去亚马逊，验证Challenger的发现，故选D。 3．最佳标题题。全文主要讲述了教授们在大会上围绕Challenger的观点展开的激烈讨论，因此“一次科学讨论”最能概括本文主旨。故选A。 2025年江苏省无锡市锡山区锡北片中考一模英语试题 Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that trouble was coming for every big dog in California. Gold-diggers (淘金者) had found gold in northwest Canada, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work for them in the cold and snow of the north. Buck had lived in Mr. Miller’s house for four years since he was born. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many other dogs, but they lived together in the kennels (狗舍), or inside the house. But Buck was neither a house dog nor a kennel dog. He was king—king over the whole of Mr. Miller’s lands. He went swimming with Mr. Miller’s sons, and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr. Miller’s feet in front of the fire in winter. This was 1897 when the discovery of gold brought men from everywhere to northwest Canada for gold-digging. But Buck did not read the newspapers. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr. Miller’s farmers, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr. Miller was away on business. Manuel and Buck left the garden together. It was just an evening walk, Buck thought. No one saw them go, and only a strange man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck’s neck. Buck growled (低吼). Gradually it was hard for him to breathe when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man in anger. The man caught Buck and forced him to lie on his back. For a few moments he was unable to move. When the train arrived, the two men threw him into the train... —Taken from the The Call of the Wild 1．Why did these gold-diggers want big dogs? A．To kill big dogs for meat.

B．Buck didn’t know how to get help from the newspapers. C．Buck didn’t expect himself to be in a dangerous situation. D．Buck didn’t know Manuel just wanted an evening walk with him. 3．What is the correct order of the events in the story? ① Buck was thrown into the train.                 ② Manuel took Buck out for a walk. ③ Buck was tied with a rope and sold.             ④ Buck lived as a king in Mr. Miller’s house. A．④②③① B．④①②③ C．②④③① D．③①④② 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 【导语】本文摘选自小说《野性的呼唤》，主要讲述了主角Buck的悲惨遭遇。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Gold-diggers (淘金者) had found gold in northwest Canada, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work for them in the cold and snow of the north.”可知，淘金者在加拿大西北部发现了黄金，这些人想要又大又强壮的狗在北方寒冷的雪地里为他们工作，所以可推知这些淘金者想要训练大狗去淘金。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。通读全文可知，Buck曾经生活的幸福自在，然而Manuel却因为钱把它卖给了淘金者，从此Buck的命运发生了改变，所以作者提到两次画线句是为了表示Buck没想到自己会处于危险的境地。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第二段“Buck had lived in Mr. Miller’s house for four years since he was born. ... He was king—king over the whole of Mr. Miller’s lands.”可知，首先Buck和米勒一家幸福地生活在一起。根据第三段“Manuel and Buck left the garden together.”可知，接着Manuel带它出去了。根据第三段“This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck’s neck.”可知，然后Manuel把Buck卖了，Buck被绳子系着。根据第四段“When the train arrived, the two men threw him into the train...”可知，最后Buck被扔到了火车上。所以事件的顺序为④②③①。故选A。 2025年江苏省常州市金坛区中考一模英语试题 Big World, Yi Yangqianxi’s new movie, has warmed the hearts of many. Yi stars as Liu Chunhe, a young man with cerebral palsy (脑瘫). Chunhe helps his grandmother realize her dream of performing on stage. He also discovers himself in this process. The movie opens with Chunhe climbing the stairs. His steps are shaky. It looks like he might fall at any moment. Indeed, Chunhe doesn’t have great control of his body. He needs the bed’s handrail to get out of bed. His fingers are bent, and his speech is unclear. After saying a long sentence, he stops to catch his breath. Even eating can be dangerous because it’s easy for him to choke (噎住). People often treat him unkindly and look at him with pity, fear or dislike. This makes Chunhe’s life even harder. But the movie sends a strong message: Cerebral palsy is not silly! Chunhe doesn’t need pity or to be seen as weak. He needs respect and the chance to live as a “little me” in a big world. He reminds us that we can all define our own happiness, even though we are not “perfect.” Yi spent a lot of time watching people with cerebral palsy and preparing for the role. It turns out so real that the people watching the movie forget about the big star for 131 minutes. All they see is a common young man with special needs. Yi’s hard work has helped the movie draw duo attention to people like Chunhe. Their lives should be made easier, not harder. 1．What challenges does Liu Chunhe face in his daily life? A．He cannot walk or speak and has a hard life. B．He completely depends on others for everything. C．He has difficulty in basic tasks like walking, eating, and speaking.

C．To create or decide something for oneself. D．To forget about something important. 4．How should the society treat people like Liu Chunhe? A．They should be treated with pity and fear. B．They should be seperated from society. C．They should be given respect and chances to live their own lives. D．They should be seen as weak and try to help them. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了易烊千玺的新电影《小小的我》，电影中刘春和虽然脑瘫，但是努力生活，最后实现梦想的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“Chunhe doesn’t have great control of his body”及“and his speech is unclear.

My parents and I lived a simple life. This peaceful life, however, didn’t last long. When I was six years old, a war broke out, turning our world upside down. I could no longer play with my friends, and I felt scared every day. Finally, my family decided to leave. It was 2012. As we packed up, I took one last look at our house, hoping we would return after a few months. It was also painful to say goodbye to my friends. We moved to Irbid, Jordan (约旦). It was much bigger and noisier than Nassib. Everything felt strange. At school, I felt lonely because I didn’t know anyone. I cried a lot. After finishing fourth grade, I moved to a new school. Finally, I had some friends. School was fun again. But just as things looked up, we had to move again. As refugees (难民), my parents couldn’t work or own a house in Jordan. We tried to move to Canada, and after two years of waiting, we were accepted. I was sad to leave my friends, but I was also excited—I knew I’d be flying for the first time and seeing the world from above. When the plane took off, it was nighttime. I looked down and saw the city lights below shining in the darkness. It was a beautiful sight. When we landed at Toronto, it was snowing. I knew I had a lot to learn again. I had to pick up a new language since I only spoke Arabic. I also had to get used to colder weather and different customs. But this time, I felt no fear. Now, four years has passed, and I can speak French and English well. I’ve also made a lot of friends. Adapting (适应) isn’t easy, but it’s not impossible. 1．Why did the writer’s parents decide to leave their home country? A．Because they got jobs in another country.

Mikaela lives in Rock Springs. They met at Udaleku. Udaleku is a two-week Basque summer camp which provides Basque cultural experiences. The two girls may live in different places, but the friendship they’ve formed at camp has led to them visiting at each other’s homes and meeting up at other Basque cultural events. ▷ ▲ Mikaela: I had heard about the camp through my parents and through other kids in my local Basque club. It seemed like a simple decision to at least try it out. Joana: When I was seven years old, my mother taught at the camp held in San Francisco.

I’ve been part of the Basque dance group in San Francisco since I was six, and I like learning new dances. ▷What keeps you coming back to camp year after year? Mikaela: The friendships I have made through the camp are stronger than a lot of friendships I have made with people I see every day. To be a true Basque American, you embrace the culture and learn as much as you possibly can. Joana: Going to camp allowed me to see my friends who I rarely saw during the year.

I hung around the Basque Cultural Center, and I saw how much fun the classes were.”可知，这一部分分别讲述了两人是如何得知并参加这个夏令营的，所以此处合适的问题是“你是如何参加这个夏令营的?”，故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“Euskara (Basque language) classes and Basque sports such as pilota. I learned to play the txistu (a flute-like instrument), and I learned traditional Basque dances and songs.”可知，文中提到在夏令营学习巴斯克语言、运动、传统舞蹈和歌曲等文化活动，所以Udaleku通过鼓励孩子们参加巴斯克文化活动来传承巴斯克文化，故选D。 2025年江苏省苏州市常熟市中考一模英语试题 One cold winter evening, Dr Watson sat by the fireplace in 221B Baker Street, reading a newspaper. Sherlock Holmes, as usual, was pacing the room, deep in thought. Suddenly, there was a loud knock at the door. A young woman in an elegant blue dress rushed in, her face pale with worry. “Mr Holmes, please help me!” she cried. “My diamond necklace was stolen during my birthday party last night! My father gave it to me before he passed away. It’s priceless!” Holmes calmly invited her to sit. “Tell me everything, Miss…?” “Clara White,” she replied, wiping her tears. “The party was at my home in Kensington. Only four close friends and my maid were there. I wore the necklace all evening, but when I went to bed, it was gone!” The Investigation Begins (调查展开) Holmes and Watson arrived at Clara’s grand townhouse. The drawing room still had decorations from the party—gold ribbons (丝带), half-empty champagne (香槟酒) glasses, and a piano in the corner. The five people at the party were Clara’s cousin Mr Edward Green, Mrs Emily Brown, the maid Miss Lucy, her neighbor Dr Henry Cole, and a family friend Mr James Hart. Holmes examined Clara’s bedroom first. The window was slightly open, and icy wind blew through the curtains. “Did you open this window, Miss White?” Holmes asked. “Never! I always lock it,” Clara insisted. “Someone forced it open from the outside,” Holmes muttered. Outside, he found muddy (泥泞的) footprints along the garden wall. … The Clues Unfold (线索浮现) Returning to the piano, Holmes looked through the sheet music. “Mr Green, what did you play at 8 p. m.?” “Moonlight Sonata,” Green answered quickly. “Yet the sheet on the stand is Für Elise,” Holmes said sharply. “And your shoes—see the mud? It matches the garden footprints!” Green’s face turned red. “I… I needed money! I climbed in through the window and hid the necklace in my coat!” The Resolution (真相大白) Holmes took the necklace from Green’s pocket. Clara hugged it tightly, her eyes filled with happy tears. “Thank you, Mr Holmes! How did you know?” “Simple, my dear,” Holmes said. “The mud matched, and no true pianist forgets his music.” As they left, Watson shook his head in amazement. “Remarkable, Holmes!” 1．How does the story begin to catch the readers’ attention? A．By describing a peaceful winter night. B．By explaining Sherlock Holmes’ daily habits. C．With a sudden knock and a worried visitor. D．By introducing Clara’s family history. 2．How did Holmes prove Mr Green was the thief? A．The maid saw him steal the necklace. B．He had the necklace in his hand. C．He was Clara’s cousin and lived nearby. D．His shoes matched the muddy footprints. 3．How does dialogue help move the story forward? A．It doesn’t help to solve the mystery. B．It describes the decorations in the house. C．It only shows readers characters’ personalities. D．It includes clues, like Mr Green’s lie about the music. 4．What is the main lesson of this story? A．Always lock your windows. B．Small details can solve big mysteries. C．Never trust family members. D．Diamonds are easy to steal. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文通过福尔摩斯的细致观察和推理，展示了如何通过细节线索解决复杂的案件，强调了观察力和逻辑推理的重要性。 1．推理判断题。根据开头部分“Suddenly, there was a loud knock at the door. A young woman in an elegant blue dress rushed in, her face pale with worry.”可知，故事通过突然的敲门声和一位焦急的访客来吸引读者的注意力。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“And your shoes—see the mud? It matches the garden footprints!”可知，Holmes通过Mr Green鞋子上的泥巴与花园里的脚印相匹配来证明他是小偷。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“‘Yet the sheet on the stand is Für Elise,’ Holmes said sharply. ‘And your shoes—see the mud? It matches the garden footprints!’”可知，对话中包含了线索，如Mr Green关于音乐的谎言，推动了故事的发展。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“‘Simple, my dear,’ Holmes said. ‘The mud matched, and no true pianist forgets his music.’”可知，故事主要启示我们是小的细节可以解决大的谜团。故选B。 2025年江苏省连云港市东海县中考一模英语试题 Huck is my name, Huckleberry Finn.

There was a cross on the heel of the left one.”，哈克发现左脚后跟有十字的脚印，这是第四件事。所以顺序是b-c-a-d。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第4段“My heart jumped.”和第5段‘He’s heard about my money.

I’m a hiker (徒步者) from Italy. I have been a fan of Italian traveler Marco Polo since childhood, which later led me to become a tour guide. Years of hiking have helped me stay healthy. Even at 75, I still have no need for reading glasses. About 20 years ago, my interest in China was started by a student from Beijing who stayed in my home. The connections we made and the friendships we developed made me more curious about China. Following that, I found myself interested in The Travels of Marco Polo, reading it over and over again to understand China through its descriptions. The description of the ancient Silk Road in the book attracted me deeply. In 2018, the idea of hiking along the ancient Silk Road came to me, which encouraged me to plan a journey covering 22, 000 kilometers from Venice to Beijing, passing through 15 countries in three to four years. At first, my children thought it was impossible. However, as they saw the details of my plan, they gave me their full support. My journey began on April 26, 2022. For more than two years, I experienced many challenges: bad weather, tiredness and lonely moments. I walked through mountains and waters, and crossed cities and villages in different countries. Along the way, I learned about the history, culture, and customs of each country I visited. As I explored the remains of the ancient Silk Road, I was shocked by the changes that our world has experienced. I also witnessed that the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), continuing the spirit of the ancient Silk Road, has helped more and more people across different countries. Today, walking on the same “golden ancient route” with Marco Polo’s book in hand, I feel proud. Looking back on my journey, I want to tell friends of my age: Be brave in pursuing (追求) your dreams-nothing is impossible! 1．What first made Vienna interested in China? A．A book she read in childhood. B．A tour guide she met in Venice. C．A documentary about the Silk Road.

B．Marco Polo’s book attracted them, C．She prepared very carefully. D．The journey was well worth a visit. 3．What can be inferred about Vienna’s journey? A．It was a smooth hike through wonderful landscapes. B．It was a shocking hike because of terrible conditions. C．It was a long trip witnessing the BRI’s influence. D．It was a meaningful trip with government’s support. 4．What message does Vienna want to share? A．Technology has changed history. B．Never give up on your dreams. C．Reading books is the best hobby.

My partner, Penny, sat across from me. We shared our stories nervously. While I had no trouble coming up with ideas, I did have problems with spelling. And grammar. And punctuation. I read her story without stopping. It was about a homeless dog named Sunny who saved a family during a storm. Finally, the family welcomed Sunny. “Wow, excellent story! I really love it!” I said. “Yours too.” But she did not even look at me as she passed mine back. When the club ended, Penny jumped up and picked up her backpack. Everything fell out. I noticed a book named Sunny the Brave. The description matched Penny’s story exactly. She had copied it! I thought about telling Miss Lisa, but she had already left. Outside of the school, I found Penny on a bench. “You dropped this,” I held out the book. She looked up, tears in her eyes. Suddenly, I wasn’t angry any more. My job as her critique partner was to give helpful feedback, not make her feel bad. But what could I say? After getting home, I decided to ask mom what I should do. I found her in the kitchen making dinner with dad. Dad cut vegetables into perfect shapes. Mom mixed a sauce on the stove. “Aidan, you’re just in time,” Mom said and held out a spoonful of sauce. “Taste this.” “It’s good, but I think ...” “It needs something, right?” she said. “I agree.” “Here’s a measuring spoon,” Dad said, “so you can make sure to use the right amount.” “I have an idea!” Mom added a teaspoon of a new spice into the sauce. “Now what did you want to talk about?” I realized that Mom and Dad had different skills, making them a great creative team. With Dad’s attention to detail and Mom’s sense of adventure, their dinners became delicious. “I think you already helped me,” I told her. At school the next morning, I found Penny at her locker. “I thought I would love writing, but I’m terrible at it,” she said. “I never have a single idea.” “Well. I have ideas, but my sentences aren’t always the best. I wish I could write like you do.” “I’d rather have ideas than write perfect sentences.” “I had a new idea. I bet we could come up with something great! Let’s talk to Miss Lisa ...” 1．Which role should “critique partners” play in the writing club? A．Competing to see who does better. B．Avoiding giving advice to the other. C．Supporting each other to improve. D．Working on pointing out mistakes. 2．How did I feel after talking with Penny at the locker? A．Hopeful. B．Surprised. C．Peaceful. D．Ashamed. 3．What can we infer from the passage about Aidan and Penny? A．Aidan will be the big mouth to tell Miss Lisa. B．Neither of them will be in the soup about the task.

D．Both of them regret having lied to Miss Lisa. 2025年江苏省无锡市宜兴市中考一模英语试题 Olivia, Emma, and Connor were excited about the first meeting of the Inquiry (探究) Club that year. The Club was a group of students looking for answers to their questions. They met every Friday after school. Last year, they discovered rubbish on the grass in front of the school. They asked many questions and learned that the wind blew it there from cans across the street. They made sure the rubbish got picked up and that it didn’t happen again. Mr. Armstrong was the club’s advisor. He reviewed and passed their projects and helped guide them in their inquiries. “What ideas do you have for a big project this fall?” he asked. “I have an idea,” Emma said. “At home, I eat really healthy food with my family. Here at school, there aren’t many healthy foods for lunch.” “I think some students here don’t even know what healthy foods are,” Olivia said. She frowned. “We could ask them what kinds of foods they eat at home,” Connor said, “and then we can compare that list against what the school cafeteria serves.” “Great idea,” Mr. Armstrong said. “See what you can find out and report back to me on Friday.” The club decided that each member would work on a different part of the project. “I’ll do the first part,” Connor said. “I’ll come up with the questions we want to ask about healthy foods. Then I can ask the questions in each class.” The girls agreed. “When you’re done, I can collect and organize the results,” Olivia said. “Then I can write the report,” Emma said. Connor went off to the library to work on the list of questions. It was harder than he thought. He sat for a long time just trying to come up with the questions. He thought about what they wanted to learn from the other students. He decided to keep the questions simple. They wanted to know which foods the students ate at home compared to school. To make it easy, he came up with a list of healthy foods and a list of unhealthy foods. The students could choose what they ate from the lists. He also decided to keep track of how old each student was, in case that made a difference in their answers. Connor went to the first classroom to ask some questions for the Inquiry Club.

Although I have few regrets about my education, there are a few things I wish I’d known earlier as a girl. 1. Keep Trying Even If You Fail As kids, we try new things fearlessly. If we make mistakes, we keep trying until we learn. But once school starts, parents and teachers usually only praise us when we do things perfectly. What happens? We stop trying new things because we’re afraid of getting them wrong. I now remind myself: “I refuse to quit halfway until I make it.” 2. Compare Yourself to Yourself I always wanted to be the best, and one way of feeling good about myself was to see how much better I was than others. There was only one problem with this. When I saw they were better than me, I felt terrible. But now, instead of comparing myself to others, I ask: “Did I give my best effort?” 3. Don’t Worry Too Much How much energy do we waste worrying about the future? I used to worry a lot. Now I know most things you fear usually never happen. If they happen, then they will most often not be as bad as you expected. Yes, most fears are imaginary. In 6 months, you probably won’t even remember most of the things you worry about now. If I could go back in time, I would tell my younger self these three important lessons. They would have helped me face challenges with more confidence. 1．What does “afraid of getting them wrong” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Scared of making mistakes. B．Happy to try new things. C．Excited about challenges. D．Angry at failing tests. 2．How does the writer deal with competition now? A．She avoids competing with others to stay happy. B．She tries to improve herself instead of comparing. C．She works much harder than others to be the best. D．She asks friends for help when facing challenges. 3．What does the writer think about worrying? A．Worrying helps us prepare for challenges. B．Most worries aren’t as bad as we imagine. C．People should worry more to avoid mistakes. D．Only smart people worry about the future. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The writer’s school memories. B．Why the writer regretted her education. C．How to make progress at school. D．Lessons the writer learned late in life. 2025年江苏省扬州市邗江区中考一模英语试题 Then the spirit took Scrooge away from the ship.

Everybody else said the same because they had just had dinner. “I will give him every chance to dine with us on Christmas Day, whether he likes it or not, for I pity him,” Scrooge’s nephew said. “He may say that Christmas is humbug till he dies, but he can’t stop thinking about it if I call on him year after year and say, ‘Uncle Scrooge, how are you?’ If it only makes him give his poor clerk (职员) fifty pounds, that’s something.” ——Adapted from A Christmas Carol 1．What did the nephew believe about Scrooge’s money?

That person is the set designer. But before building the real set, they create a small model. Lizzie Bracken designed the set for a play called You Think It’s Easy Being the Tooth Fairy? at Lifeline Theater in Chicago. Ophelia: Why do you make models? Lizzie: Most set designers starts with a model. It’s a fast way to see what the set will look like. You can take a model apart and put it back together and play with it and make sure everything works before you build the real one. I start with a lot of drawings.

Lizzie: Foam core (泡沫板) and illustration (插图) board, I measure, cut, and glue them together. For furniture, I buy miniatures from dollhouse or model train shops. These stores have surprising items like trees, lamps, and tiny furniture. Ophelia: The play is about a three-inch-tall tooth fairy. How did you make an adult actor look small? Lizzie: Oh, we used creative tricks! The prop (道具) designer, Jenny Pinson, made some huge quarters (25-cent coins) for the fairy to collect. To her, these coins looked like dinner plates—heavy enough for weightlifting! We also built a giant four-foot puppet hand. The fairy would open it to take out a huge tooth. A giant cat paw swiping at them added more fun. Just the few props helped the audience imagine the fairy’s tiny world. Ophelia: What’s your next project?

The government paid Mrs. Mann to look after children like Oliver. She looked after about twenty or thirty children like him. She knew exactly what the children needed, but she also knew exactly what she needed. As a result, she spent most of the money on herself. The children were always hungry, and sometimes they starved to death. Sometimes one would fall in the fire while Mrs. Mann was not looking or die of cold in the winter. Somehow, Oliver stayed alive.

She helped Russell, 67, into his wheelchair. Her other brother Todd, 63, could manage with a walker. Both men were born with cerebral palsy (大脑性瘫痪). Darcy went to open the doors, but failed. The weight of the water on the other side kept it shut. Water went to knee deep in less than five minutes. Now Darcy helped Todd pull himself slowly up to the top stair. But stairs were impossible for Russell. He could not walk or bend (弯曲) his legs. Darcy tried to pull him up the stairs, but he shouted “I can’t, I can’t.” Darcy held on Russell’s belt, but he was nearly 170 pounds. She tried every position possible and managed to get him up a few steps. The water followed. Out the window, Darcy could already see cars floating by. Darcy would inch Russell up one step, only to see the water rise with them. At one point, Russell slipped (滑) back down a few steps, and they had to start again. In an hour, eight steps—three steps—several steps more. But they stopped when it required Russell’s body to bend. Darcy got a belt and tried to tie Russell to her, but it broke. The water still rose. Darcy had to sit beside Russell on the stairs. And waited. After a while, she noticed the water start to move back. At about 6:30 p.m., Hance, her granddaughter’s cousin, and his two friends came and helped them out.

I jumped into the water and stood on my skis (滑水板). Slowly the boat moved forward, tightening (拉紧) up the ski rope. I held on for dear life to the handle on the end of the rope while Mum looked at me from the back of the boat with a smile that seemed to say, “I believe in you.” I was trying very hard to find my earlier feelings of excitement about learning to waterski. “Whose bright idea was this anyway?” I asked myself nervously. In my bright orange life jacket, I sat in the cool water moving up and down gently. I tried to keep the tips of my water skis pointing up out of the water as I had been shown. A wave of fear washed over me. There were just too many instructions to remember. My little sister Nikki cheered as she jumped up and down in the back of the boat next to Mum. Nikki had learnt to waterski at a very young age. I, on the other hand, always liked underwater sports such as diving. Moving on top of the water was going to be very different for me. But once I mastered (掌握) this, we would have another activity that the whole family could enjoy together. “Deep breath!” I reminded myself. Dad sped up the boat. “Here we go!” I thought wildly. Mum gave me a big thumbs-up, and the boat rushed forward and gave a strong pull. I pushed up on my legs as hard as I could and let out a scream. I was in fact standing on my skis, skimming across the water, but not for long. I fell forward and landed face down in the water. Thank goodness, I remembered to let go of the rope. My skis came off, and my life jacket kept me floating on the surface of the lake. “I don’t believe it,” I thought, turning over to my back with a big smile. “I almost felt like I was flying with wings.” “Let’s do it again.” I called to Dad as he circled the boat around to pick me up. The second time, the boat sped up again. Suddenly, I was flying. The world turned to be silent, broken only by Nikki’s shouts from the boat, “You did it!” Now the lake didn’t scare me anymore. It felt like home. 1．“I” asked the underlined question in paragraph 2 because ________. A．waterskiing was a quite dangerous sport B．my memory of correct instructions was lost C．the choice of waterskiing was completely wrong D．my excitement about waterskiing was turned into fear 2．The keys to my success in mastering waterskiing are ________. ① Nikki’s cheers  ② Mom’s encouragement  ③ Dad’s patient instructions  ④ My courage of keeping trying A．①②③ B．①②④ C．②③④ D．①③④ 3．Which can be the best title for the story? A．My Waterski Journey B．Let’s Do It Again C．Finding Wings on Water D．Family Fun on the Lake 2025年江苏省扬州市宝应县中考一模英语试题 Chalk is something you probably see and even use every day. But have you ever thought about turning it into carved (雕刻的) artwork using just a compass (圆规)? Shen Sihao, 31, started doing this in high school. Growing up in Luoyang, a city in Henan province known for its cultural relics (文物) and historical sites, Shen often used his compass to carve chalk into miniature versions (微缩版本) of cultural relics and ancient buildings he saw in history books or around Luoyang.“It’s a shame that I didn’t have much time back then to do more,” Shen reflected. After getting a job at an internet company in Beijing, Shen had free time, so he decided to realize his childhood dream. Since 2024, he has been sharing videos online showing off his chalk carvings, including tomb figures (俑), arrows, and more. His account (账号), Trifle in Break Time, has found a large following, especially among students. For Shen, the process of carving is just as fascinating as the end product. “Only by carving can I fully understand the structure, details and secrets of cultural relics,” Shen said. For example, while carving an ancient warrior, he studied a photo closely and realized that it looked a lot like Ultraman. “Maybe the design of Ultraman was inspired by an ancient Chinese warrior!” he said. To Shen, carving chalk not only helps him learn more about history and culture but has also taught him patience. “I often accidentally break my work when it’s almost done,” Shen said. “Patience and perseverance (毅力) are the key. It’s the same with life-when you rush or try too hard, it’s easy to break things.” 1．Why does Shen’s account attract many students? A．Because his videos show Ultraman. B．Because his carvings bring history to life. C．Because he shares how to carve in class. D．Because he works for an internet company. 2．The underlined word “fascinating” in Paragraph 4 means “________”. A．boring B．tiring C．attractive D．difficult 3．How did the carving process help Shen? A．It helped him to be brave like ancient Chinese warriors. B．It increased his interest in comic characters. C．It showed him how Chinese culture is similar to other cultures. D．It helped him understand Chinese cultural relics better. 4．What life lesson has Shen learned from carving? A．Try to be patient and never give up. B．Never push yourself too hard. C．Success lies in details. D．Actions speak louder than words. 2025年江苏省无锡市惠山区中考一模英语试题 Finally, Professor Challenger had his chance to speak. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he began, “Mr. Waldron is not a real scientist. He only explains our work to the general public. He is wrong when he says that certain animals have already disappeared. Nobody here believes me, but I am prophet (先知) of science. I am like Galileo and Darwin, and I…” The Professor walked forward and put up both hands. Everybody became silent. ‘I won’t say any more. You can, however, test my ideas. Do you want to send somebody to prove that?” Then, the famous scientist Professor Summerlee stood up. “Are you talking about the discoveries that you made in the Amazon (亚马逊) two years ago?” asked Professor Summerlee. “Yes, I am,” replied Challenger. “And why didn’t Wallace, Bates and other famous explorers of that area see these things?” continued Summerlee. “Perhaps, sir, you have mixed up the Thames with the Amazon. It’s not strange that I saw things that they didn’t see.” “Yes, of course,” continued Summerlee, “I understand the difference. We can’t test or prove your discoveries.” “Will you go on a journey to test my discoveries?” “Yes, I will,” answered Summerlee, and the crowd cheered. “Then,” said Professor Challenger, “You will have all the information you need to go there. But you can’t go alone. Who will go with Professor Summerlee to the Amazon?” —Adapted from The Lost World 1．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 8 mean?

Gold-diggers (淘金者) had found gold in northwest Canada, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work for them in the cold and snow of the north.

He was king—king over the whole of Mr. Miller’s lands. He went swimming with Mr. Miller’s sons, and walking with his daughters.

Chunhe helps his grandmother realize her dream of performing on stage. He also discovers himself in this process. The movie opens with Chunhe climbing the stairs. His steps are shaky. It looks like he might fall at any moment. Indeed, Chunhe doesn’t have great control of his body. He needs the bed’s handrail to get out of bed. His fingers are bent, and his speech is unclear. After saying a long sentence, he stops to catch his breath. Even eating can be dangerous because it’s easy for him to choke (噎住). People often treat him unkindly and look at him with pity, fear or dislike. This makes Chunhe’s life even harder. But the movie sends a strong message: Cerebral palsy is not silly! Chunhe doesn’t need pity or to be seen as weak. He needs respect and the chance to live as a “little me” in a big world. He reminds us that we can all define our own happiness, even though we are not “perfect.” Yi spent a lot of time watching people with cerebral palsy and preparing for the role. It turns out so real that the people watching the movie forget about the big star for 131 minutes. All they see is a common young man with special needs.

B．They should be seperated from society. C．They should be given respect and chances to live their own lives. D．They should be seen as weak and try to help them. 2025年江苏省泰州市靖江市中考一模英语试题 I was born in Nassib, a small village in Syria (叙利亚). My parents and I lived a simple life. This peaceful life, however, didn’t last long. When I was six years old, a war broke out, turning our world upside down. I could no longer play with my friends, and I felt scared every day. Finally, my family decided to leave. It was 2012. As we packed up, I took one last look at our house, hoping we would return after a few months. It was also painful to say goodbye to my friends. We moved to Irbid, Jordan (约旦). It was much bigger and noisier than Nassib. Everything felt strange. At school, I felt lonely because I didn’t know anyone. I cried a lot. After finishing fourth grade, I moved to a new school. Finally, I had some friends. School was fun again. But just as things looked up, we had to move again. As refugees (难民), my parents couldn’t work or own a house in Jordan. We tried to move to Canada, and after two years of waiting, we were accepted.

I had to pick up a new language since I only spoke Arabic. I also had to get used to colder weather and different customs. But this time, I felt no fear.

They met at Udaleku. Udaleku is a two-week Basque summer camp which provides Basque cultural experiences. The two girls may live in different places, but the friendship they’ve formed at camp has led to them visiting at each other’s homes and meeting up at other Basque cultural events. ▷ ▲ Mikaela: I had heard about the camp through my parents and through other kids in my local Basque club. It seemed like a simple decision to at least try it out. Joana: When I was seven years old, my mother taught at the camp held in San Francisco. I hung around the Basque Cultural Center, and I saw how much fun the classes were. When I was ten years old, my mom said I could go if I wanted to. ▷What activities did you enjoy while at camp?

I’ve been part of the Basque dance group in San Francisco since I was six, and I like learning new dances. ▷What keeps you coming back to camp year after year?

To be a true Basque American, you embrace the culture and learn as much as you possibly can. Joana: Going to camp allowed me to see my friends who I rarely saw during the year.

Sherlock Holmes, as usual, was pacing the room, deep in thought. Suddenly, there was a loud knock at the door. A young woman in an elegant blue dress rushed in, her face pale with worry. “Mr Holmes, please help me!” she cried. “My diamond necklace was stolen during my birthday party last night! My father gave it to me before he passed away. It’s priceless!” Holmes calmly invited her to sit. “Tell me everything, Miss…?” “Clara White,” she replied, wiping her tears. “The party was at my home in Kensington. Only four close friends and my maid were there. I wore the necklace all evening, but when I went to bed, it was gone!” The Investigation Begins (调查展开) Holmes and Watson arrived at Clara’s grand townhouse. The drawing room still had decorations from the party—gold ribbons (丝带), half-empty champagne (香槟酒) glasses, and a piano in the corner. The five people at the party were Clara’s cousin Mr Edward Green, Mrs Emily Brown, the maid Miss Lucy, her neighbor Dr Henry Cole, and a family friend Mr James Hart. Holmes examined Clara’s bedroom first. The window was slightly open, and icy wind blew through the curtains. “Did you open this window, Miss White?” Holmes asked. “Never! I always lock it,” Clara insisted. “Someone forced it open from the outside,” Holmes muttered. Outside, he found muddy (泥泞的) footprints along the garden wall. … The Clues Unfold (线索浮现) Returning to the piano, Holmes looked through the sheet music. “Mr Green, what did you play at 8 p. m.?” “Moonlight Sonata,” Green answered quickly. “Yet the sheet on the stand is Für Elise,” Holmes said sharply. “And your shoes—see the mud? It matches the garden footprints!” Green’s face turned red. “I… I needed money! I climbed in through the window and hid the necklace in my coat!” The Resolution (真相大白) Holmes took the necklace from Green’s pocket. Clara hugged it tightly, her eyes filled with happy tears. “Thank you, Mr Holmes! How did you know?” “Simple, my dear,” Holmes said. “The mud matched, and no true pianist forgets his music.” As they left, Watson shook his head in amazement. “Remarkable, Holmes!” 1．How does the story begin to catch the readers’ attention?
