I believe a true friend is like a light that guides you through the dark. The person who has influenced (影响) me most is Lucy, and here’s our story.
Last term, I went to a new school in Grade 8 and felt completely lonely. Every lunch break, I would sit alone in the corner while others talked happily. Lucy, my deskmate, was an outgoing girl with a warm smile. At first, we barely talked, but she noticed my loneliness. One week, a bad fever kept me home, and I missed a lot of school. When I returned, I failed a physics test and almost gave up on the subject.
Noticing my sadness, Lucy said, “Don’t worry! Let’s study together after school.” Each day, she helped me with science notes. She drew simple pictures to explain hard ideas. “Science is like a game-find the answer and win!” she said. Her patience made it fun to learn, and soon I felt more confident.
Now I often get A grades in science. More importantly, I’ve learned to pass on her kindness. Last month, I helped a new classmate with math, just as Lucy helped me. “You’ve become a light for others too,” Lucy told me recently. Though we might go to different high schools next year, I’m sure our friendship will keep shining-just like the warm moments we shared over science lessons.
26. Who is Lucy?
A. The writer’s sister. B. The writer’s cousin. C. The writer’s classmate.
27. What does the underlined word “barely” mean in English?
A. happily B. hardly C. slowly
28. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Lucy’s teaching methods worked well.
B. The writer played games with Lucy in class.
C. A new classmate helped Lucy with math last month.
29. How did the writer’s feelings change through the story?
A. Confident→Bored→Lonely B. Lonely→Angry→Confident C. Lonely→Thankful→Confident
30. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Science Study Problems B. A Life-Changing Friend C. Ways to Help Friends
【答案】26. C 27. B 28. A 29. C 30. B
【解析】

【答案】例文
Last Saturday, our school welcomed a group of British middle school students for a Chinese culture experience.
The visitors enjoyed three traditional activities: tea ceremony, where they learned about tea brewing; paper cutting, where they created beautiful patterns; and Hanfu dressing, where they tried on elegant traditional costumes.
Through these hands-on experiences, they gained deeper understanding of Chinese culture. We also benefited greatly—improving our English communication skills while sharing our cultural heritage. This cross-cultural exchange created wonderful memories for both sides. The event successfully built bridges between young people from different backgrounds.

I believe a true friend is like a light that guides you through the dark. The person who has influenced (影响) me most is Lucy, and here’s our story.
Last term, I went to a new school in Grade 8 and felt completely lonely. Every lunch break, I would sit alone in the corner while others talked happily. Lucy, my deskmate, was an outgoing girl with a warm smile. At first, we barely talked, but she noticed my loneliness. One week, a bad fever kept me home, and I missed a lot of school. When I returned, I failed a physics test and almost gave up on the subject.
Noticing my sadness, Lucy said, “Don’t worry! Let’s study together after school.” Each day, she helped me with science notes. She drew simple pictures to explain hard ideas. “Science is like a game-find the answer and win!” she said. Her patience made it fun to learn, and soon I felt more confident.
Now I often get A grades in science. More importantly, I’ve learned to pass on her kindness. Last month, I helped a new classmate with math, just as Lucy helped me. “You’ve become a light for others too,” Lucy told me recently. Though we might go to different high schools next year, I’m sure our friendship will keep shining-just like the warm moments we shared over science lessons.
26. Who is Lucy?
A. The writer’s sister. B. The writer’s cousin. C. The writer’s classmate.
27. What does the underlined word “barely” mean in English?
A. happily B. hardly C. slowly
28. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Lucy’s teaching methods worked well.
B. The writer played games with Lucy in class.
C. A new classmate helped Lucy with math last month.
29. How did the writer’s feelings change through the story?
A. Confident→Bored→Lonely B. Lonely→Angry→Confident C. Lonely→Thankful→Confident
30. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Science Study Problems B. A Life-Changing Friend C. Ways to Help Friends
C

Yang Jinbo is a 55-year-old artist from Hebei. He fell in love with shadow puppets (皮影戏) when he was a little child. In 2010, he started learning to make them from a teacher. Now he makes beautiful puppets with thin lines and bright colors. He also creates new stories, like The Five Heroes of Langya Mountain, to tell exciting Chinese history through this old art.

Once, he spent a whole month making a dragon puppet with 100 small parts.
Yang goes to many schools to teach children. Last month, his students made cool puppets of space heroes and put on a big show about China’s space station. The show was wonderful!
