Flames (火焰) were climbing up the front porch. Without pausing for a moment to think about the danger, Bostic stopped his car and ran from the back door into the burning building, which belongs to the Barrett family. Bostic had just started climbing the stairs when he looked up and saw four faces appear from a room at the top of the stairs and look down at him, their eyes wide. “Your house is on fire, you need to go!” Bostic yelled.

Holding Kaylani tightly in one arm, Bostic ran forward and threw himself out of the window. He managed to land on the other shoulder. Kaylani was almost unhurt. Days passed. Bostic woke up from first-degree burns to his leg and arm, He felt like he’d just done what anyone would have done in that situation.

Colin was sitting on the sofa looking at one of his books. He was talking to Mary. “So, you were ill last night, Colin,” he said. “I’m better now—much better,” Colin answered in his young voice. “I’m going out in my wheelchair soon if it is fine. I want some fresh air.” The doctor left without saying anything else. That night Colin slept well. He dreamt about the garden again, and Dickon and its animals. Early the next morning, Mary ran into his room, “Dickon is here with the fox cub and the crow and two squirrels and a new-born lamb!” she cried. “Listen! Did you hear that caw-caw sound!” Just then Martha opened the door. “Dickon and his animals are here, sir,” she said, Colin looked very excited. Dickon came in. The new-born lamb was in his arms and the little red fox walked next to him. Soot sat on his left shoulder and a squirrel sat on the other. Another squirrel was looking out of his coat pocket. Colin stared as Dickon gave him the new-born lamb. “What is it doing?” cried Colin. “What does it want?” “It wants its mother,” said Dickon, smiling. He took a baby’s bottle from his pocket. He pushed the bottle into the lamb’s mouth. The lamb drank the milk, then it fell asleep. Colin and Mary asked Dickon questions about the names of flowers. He knew exactly which ones were already growing in the secret garden. “I’m going to see them,” cried Colin. “I can’t believe it!” The next day, Dickon pushed Colin’s wheelchair slowly and carefully. Mary walked next to it. They went across the lawn to the long path near the wall. Then Dickon stopped pushing the chair. “And look!” Mary moved the ivy branch. “Here is the door. Dickon pushes him in—push him in quickly!” When they were inside the garden, Colin looked round and round. He saw the walls and the earth and the trees with their new green leaves. In the grass under the trees there were flowers—gold and purple and white. The trees were covered in pink and white flowers. The sun was warm on his face. Mary and Dickon stared at him.

And indeed “adventure” was really an appropriate name for that ship, and for everything that happened on that journey. The first part of our trip went well. But when we sailed through the Indian Ocean, there were some terrible storms. The winds were so strong that they sent our ship completely off course. We didn’t know where we were. At last, when the storms stopped, we saw an island. We had no more drinking water, so the captain sent me to find some fresh water on the island. I set off with some other men in a small boat. And when we got there, I travelled around the island by myself while the men looked for water. That was a big mistake. When I went back, there were no men and no boat! Then I saw them rowing desperately back to our ship with an enormous giant following them in the sea! They were very frightened. I ran as fast as I could in the opposition direction. I then climbed up a big hill and when I looked around, I saw fields and fields of very long grass. Then I saw other giants working in the fields. “On my last trip, I was a giant on an island of tiny people and now I am a tiny person on an island of giants!” It was not a nice feeling. I was sad and hid behind an enormous tree. I had to think of a plan, but at that time one of the giants saw me. —Taken from Gulliver’s Travels 1．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refers to “________ ”.

Several months ago, he moved to a town in a foreign country because of work. He liked the local people and the life there. But there was only one problem: he had trouble understanding the sayings that local people used in their daily conversations. One day, they invited Tom to a party. When they were chatting, Tom overheard someone say, “Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched (孵化)” Misunderstanding the words, Tom laughed and said, “Who will count chickens?

Why am I here? and Where am I going? — came into my head, I was standing on a small soccer field last week. It was my first time playing the game, but I knew nothing about it. I am not a soccer fan, and every time I watch a match, I fall asleep within 10 minutes, without exception. Before I went to The Other Green’s salon — a women-themed bookstore in Beijing — last month, playing soccer never would have appeared on my to-do list. I usually do yoga and swim, which are good exercises for women in my eyes, while soccer is for men. Things started to change when I went into the bookstore and met five members from a female soccer club. They look great, with sunny smiles and athletic bodies. And their confidence impressed me when they talked about how soccer has changed their lives. It was not easy for women to find a training club to play soccer years ago in Beijing. However, things are getting much better now. I got an invitation from a friend, saying that a club is offering women’s soccer training courses. And that was certainly a yes for me. Being a working mother for seven years, my life has been limited to the office and home, and when I heard about the benefits that it brings, I hoped soccer could make a difference in my life. This is where the story starts. After an hour of warm-up exercises, here came the match time. Without understanding the basic rules of the game, there I was, trying to shoot twice, missed both times and I hurt my right leg. I still feel the pain. But I also feel that, for me, happiness is real on the field. Soccer is more than just a game for men. 1．The four questions in Paragraph 1 aim to ________.

I would never forget the day, on which I was being looked at strangely. The thought would always stay with me. And I couldn’t believe I would lose the friendship of the person I trusted most. Five years back, Sally was the new kid in class. I don’t know what it was, but something special about her drew me to her. She was the most friendly person I had known. We started as classmates, we were like best friends. So, I never expected her to hurt me in such a big way. I don’t know what made me tell Sally about my personal life. However, she made the matter bigger than it was, adding her own spin (倾向性描述) (刺) me in the back. After she gave away my secrets, everyone at school started laughing at me. Wherever I went, whispering behind. Because of this terrible situation, I chose to change another school. Sally called me many times. I tried hard to repair the scars she left on my heart. I started a new life. Five years later, my life went back to the way it had been, with new friends, I met Anna at the market. She had been my classmate since 3rd grade. She told me that Sally wasn’t the one who brought my secrets to light. Mary was. Mary was our school’s big mouth who always wanted to stick her nose into other people’s business. I am deeply regretful (懊悔的). I wish I could have trusted Sally and asked her about this. I wish I could have gone back to fix my mistake. From that, I have learned a life lesson that we should trust those we love and should not let the misunderstanding influence our lives. 1．The underlined phrase “spill the beans” in Paragraph 1 has the same meaning as ________. ①drew me to her (in Para 2) ②gave away my secrets (in Para 3) ③repair the scars (in Para 4) ④brought my secrets to light (in Para 4) A．①and② B．①and ③ C．②and④ D．③and④ 2．The writer chose to change another school mainly because ________.

After she gave away my secrets, everyone at school started laughing at me.”和“Sally wasn’t the one who brought my secrets to light.”可知这几处都在讲述作者误认为自己的好朋友泄漏了自己的秘密，猜测spill the beans意为“泄露秘密”，和第三段的“gave away my secrets”以及第四段的“brought my secrets to light”意义相同。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“After she gave away my secrets, everyone at school started laughing at me. Wherever I went, whispering behind. Because of this terrible situation, I chose to change another school.”可知作者转学是因为好朋友泄漏自己的秘密，导致周围的同学都嘲笑她。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“We started as classmates, we were like best friends.”“I never expected her to hurt me in such a big way.”“Because of this terrible situation, I chose to change another school. Sally called me many times.”和“I am deeply regretful (懊悔的). I wish I could have trusted Sally and asked her about this.”可推断作者和Sally成为好朋友时，很开心，当得知Sally泄漏自己秘密时，难以置信，再到作者遭到同学嘲笑，伤心不已，不得已转学，最后得知事情的真相，懊悔不已。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“I am deeply regretful (懊悔的). I wish I could have trusted Sally and asked her about this. I wish I could have gone back to fix my mistake.”可知作者知道真相后，懊悔不已，推测她再遇到类似情况时，很可能会说出真实的感受，避免产生误会，从而懊悔遗憾。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文，可知文章主要讲述了作者在学校的一段经历，并从这段经历中明白了要相信自己所爱的人，因为一次小误会可能会造成真正的伤害。选项B“我们的信任应该置于何处”符合主旨。故选B。 （二） 【来源】江苏省淮安市金湖县2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末英语试题 Robin and the outlaws (逃犯) fought against the sheriff (郡治安官) and his men. Many men were killed and wounded on both sides. There were too many of the sheriff’s men for the outlaws to beat. In the end, the sheriff’s men captured Robin and took him to prison (监狱) in Nottingham. They tied him with rope and put him in a cell (牢房). The cell was at the top of a tall tower. During the night, Robin was able to untie the rope. There was a small window in the tower. Robin tied one end of the rope to a ring in the wall of the cell. He tied the other end to himself. Then he climbed through the window. The cell was a long way from the ground. Slowly, Robin climbed down the rope. He was halfway down when the rope broke. Robin fell to the ground. He lay there for a long time. His leg hurt badly. Before morning, Robin was able to stand up. Then he limped away from the tower. That evening, he came to a small fishing village. The sheriff’s men were not far behind him. He knocked on the door of a small cottage. An old woman opened the door. “Robbers are after me. They will kill me if they catch me. Let me hide and rest here.” The old woman looked at Robin. “He has a kind face,” she thought. “And he is hurt.” “You may stay here for a few days,” She said. Robin stayed with the old woman for many days. Slowly, he got a little better, and he was able to walk again. “How can I pay you?” he said to the old woman. “I have no money.” “I own a fishing boat,” the old woman said. “You can work with the fishermen. They go to the sea tonight.” Robin joined the fishermen on the boat. He worked as hard as he could, but he did not know how to fish.

There was a small window in the tower. Robin tied one end of the rope to a ring in the wall of the cell. He tied the other end to himself. Then he climbed through the window.

Flames (火焰) were climbing up the front porch. Without pausing for a moment to think about the danger, Bostic stopped his car and ran from the back door into the burning building, which belongs to the Barrett family.

Colin was sitting on the sofa looking at one of his books. He was talking to Mary. “So, you were ill last night, Colin,” he said. “I’m better now—much better,” Colin answered in his young voice. “I’m going out in my wheelchair soon if it is fine. I want some fresh air.” The doctor left without saying anything else. That night Colin slept well. He dreamt about the garden again, and Dickon and its animals. Early the next morning, Mary ran into his room, “Dickon is here with the fox cub and the crow and two squirrels and a new-born lamb!” she cried. “Listen! Did you hear that caw-caw sound!” Just then Martha opened the door. “Dickon and his animals are here, sir,” she said, Colin looked very excited. Dickon came in. The new-born lamb was in his arms and the little red fox walked next to him. Soot sat on his left shoulder and a squirrel sat on the other. Another squirrel was looking out of his coat pocket. Colin stared as Dickon gave him the new-born lamb. “What is it doing?” cried Colin. “What does it want?” “It wants its mother,” said Dickon, smiling. He took a baby’s bottle from his pocket. He pushed the bottle into the lamb’s mouth. The lamb drank the milk, then it fell asleep. Colin and Mary asked Dickon questions about the names of flowers.

Dickon pushes him in—push him in quickly!” When they were inside the garden, Colin looked round and round. He saw the walls and the earth and the trees with their new green leaves. In the grass under the trees there were flowers—gold and purple and white. The trees were covered in pink and white flowers. The sun was warm on his face. Mary and Dickon stared at him.

And indeed “adventure” was really an appropriate name for that ship, and for everything that happened on that journey. The first part of our trip went well. But when we sailed through the Indian Ocean, there were some terrible storms. The winds were so strong that they sent our ship completely off course. We didn’t know where we were. At last, when the storms stopped, we saw an island. We had no more drinking water, so the captain sent me to find some fresh water on the island. I set off with some other men in a small boat. And when we got there, I travelled around the island by myself while the men looked for water. That was a big mistake. When I went back, there were no men and no boat! Then I saw them rowing desperately back to our ship with an enormous giant following them in the sea! They were very frightened. I ran as fast as I could in the opposition direction. I then climbed up a big hill and when I looked around, I saw fields and fields of very long grass. Then I saw other giants working in the fields. “On my last trip, I was a giant on an island of tiny people and now I am a tiny person on an island of giants!” It was not a nice feeling. I was sad and hid behind an enormous tree. I had to think of a plan, but at that time one of the giants saw me. —Taken from Gulliver’s Travels 1．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refers to “________ ”.

Then I saw them rowing desperately back to our ship with an enormous giant following them in the sea!”可知，当格列佛回去的时候，看见人们拼命地划回他们的船。因此“them”指代“some other men”。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“The first part of our trip went well. But when we sailed through the Indian Ocean, there were some terrible storms.”可知，首先遇到了风暴，因此②处在第一位；根据“We had no more drinking water, so the captain sent me to find some fresh water on the island.”可知，船长让格列佛去岛上找些淡水，因此④处于第二位；根据“Then I saw them rowing desperately back to our ship with an enormous giant following them in the sea!”可知，格列佛看到了巨人，故①处在第三位；根据“Then I saw other giants working in the fields.”可知，格列佛看到其他巨人在地里干活。故③处于第四位。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“ But when we sailed through the Indian Ocean, there were some terrible storms. The winds were so strong that they sent our ship completely off course.”可知，此处解释了船偏离航线的原因，故排除A项；根据“And indeed ‘adventure’ was really an appropriate name for that ship, and for everything that happened on that journey.”可知，此处说明了格列佛对“冒险”号船的名字的看法，故排除C项；根据“‘On my last trip, I was a giant on an island of tiny people and now I am a tiny person on an island of giants!’ It was not a nice feeling.”可知，此处说明了当格列佛看到巨人在地里干活时的感觉，故排除D项。选项B的问题文中没有回答。故选B。 （四） 【来源】江苏省泰州市姜堰区2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末考试英语试题 When it comes to childhood (童年), what do you think of first?

Several months ago, he moved to a town in a foreign country because of work. He liked the local people and the life there.

Where did I come from? Why am I here? and Where am I going? — came into my head, I was standing on a small soccer field last week. It was my first time playing the game, but I knew nothing about it. I am not a soccer fan, and every time I watch a match, I fall asleep within 10 minutes, without exception. Before I went to The Other Green’s salon — a women-themed bookstore in Beijing — last month, playing soccer never would have appeared on my to-do list. I usually do yoga and swim, which are good exercises for women in my eyes, while soccer is for men. Things started to change when I went into the bookstore and met five members from a female soccer club. They look great, with sunny smiles and athletic bodies. And their confidence impressed me when they talked about how soccer has changed their lives. It was not easy for women to find a training club to play soccer years ago in Beijing. However, things are getting much better now. I got an invitation from a friend, saying that a club is offering women’s soccer training courses. And that was certainly a yes for me. Being a working mother for seven years, my life has been limited to the office and home, and when I heard about the benefits that it brings, I hoped soccer could make a difference in my life. This is where the story starts. After an hour of warm-up exercises, here came the match time. Without understanding the basic rules of the game, there I was, trying to shoot twice, missed both times and I hurt my right leg. I still feel the pain. But I also feel that, for me, happiness is real on the field. Soccer is more than just a game for men. 1．The four questions in Paragraph 1 aim to ________. A．make us interested in soccer B．show “I” knew nothing about soccer at first. C．make us think further about women soccer D．discuss what soccer is for women 2．________ changed “my” ideas about playing soccer. A．Soccer matches on the TV B．Books in the women-themed bookstore C．The invitation from a friend D．The five women from a soccer club 3．Which question is answered in the passage? A．Where did “I” come from? B．Where was “my” first soccer match held? C．How much did I know about soccer rules when I first played? D．How did soccer change lives of the women I met in the bookstore? 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．“I” tried to watch soccer games carefully to learn about it. B．Though “I” got hurt, “I” played very well in my first soccer game. C．“I” expect to become healthier and more confident by playing soccer.
