By the time the sun was high, he was very hot and hungry, and he wished for a cool place to rest and have some food. As he walked along, he found some shade (阴凉处), and by it were some fine, wild strawberries. “How good these will be with my bread and butter,” thought George excitedly. He picked up all of the strawberries. As he was lifting the first strawberry to his mouth, he remembered his sick mother, alone in her dark, cold room in the village. With this in mind, he put the strawberry back again. “Shall I save them for her?” he asked himself. He thought how nice they would be for her, yet was still looking at them with a longing eye. “I will eat half, and take the other half to her,” he said. He put them into two parts, but each heap looked so small. He put them together again. “I will only eat one.” he thought. But, as he again lifted it to his mouth, he saw that he had taken the finest, and he put it back. When the sun was beginning to drop, George set out for home. How happy he felt that he had all his strawberries for his sick mother. He heard his mother’s weak voice calling him. “Is that you, George? I am glad you have come back. I want some tea.” George ran to her and joyfully offered his wild strawberries. “And you saved them for me, didn’t you?” she said, laying (放置) her hand fondly (怜爱的) on his head with tears in her eyes. 21.

The new year is a great time to clear out all the things you don’t need anymore. As well as freeing up space (空间), it clears your mind and makes you happy. Maybe you’ve been given new clothes, toys, or books for Christmas, and you haven’t yet found a place to store them in your room. You should spend more time indoors playing games and drawing in cold, windy weather. So you need to take things out to use or play with. Before you realize it, your bedroom gets messy and there’s not enough space to tidy everything away. A scientist says messy environment can overload (超负荷) your brain. It can also take your attention (注意) away from things you need to pay attention to. If there are messy things around you, you can be stressed, and it’s even harder to decide something. When your room is clean and tidy, you don’t need to spend time looking for missing socks or school books. Tidying up takes “more time, energy, and hard work,” but the results make you happy relaxed, and can help you sleep better. Staying organized can be a challenge for anyone, and some find it harder than others. The scientist suggests starting with small and easy chores, such as clearing one room at a time, finishing chores as quickly as possible. You can set an alarm if you need. Listening to music or E-book can help make tidying fun. Ask friends to help decide what to keep and what to give away. You can also get inspiration (灵感) by thinking about how you will use all your free space when you’ve finished. 26. How does the writer lead in the topic? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling a story. C. By showing a saying. D. By giving an example. 27. What does the saying “Tidy space, tidy mind” mean? A. A famous space is good for your health. B. Tidying up is a waste of time for your mind. C. Cleaning your space makes your mind clear. D. A clean space has nothing to do with your mind. 28. Why does the bedroom often get messy according to Paragraph 2? A. People are too busy to clean it. B. People forget to clean it every day. C. People don’t find a place to store things. D. People spend less time indoors on cold days. 29. If we tidy up the room, it can ________. A. influence your attention B. help you find things more easily C. make you feel stressed D. make you harder to make decisions 30. What does the scientist advise about tidying up in the last two paragraphs? ①Start with small chores. ②Finish tasks quickly. ③Ask friends for help on what to keep. ④Listen to music to make tidying fun. ⑤Imagine using your free space for inspiration. A. ①②③④⑤ B. ①②③④ C. ②③④⑤ D. ①③④⑤ 【答案】26. C 27. C 28. C 29. B 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了保持整洁的益处——有助于头脑清新，保持快乐。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据“ ‘Tidy space, tidy mind’ ”可知， 作者运用谚语“Tidy space, tidy mind”引出主题。故选C。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“As well as freeing up space (空间), it clears your mind and makes you happy.”可知，整洁的空间能让你头脑清醒，整理思绪，符合谚语“Tidy space, tidy mind”含义。故选C。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Maybe you’ve been given new clothes, toys, or books for Christmas, and you haven’t yet found a place to store them in your room.”和“Before you realize it, your bedroom gets messy and there’s not enough space to tidy everything away”可知，卧室变乱是因为没找到地方存放物品。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When your room is clean and tidy, you don’t need to spend time looking for missing socks or school books.”可知，整洁的房间能让人更容易找到东西。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The scientist suggests starting with small and easy chores,”，“ finishing chores as quickly as possible”， “Ask friends to help decide what to keep”， “Listening to music or E-book can help make tidying fun.”和“ You can also get inspiration (灵感) by thinking about how you will use all your free space when you’ve finished.”可知，科学家的建议包括：① Start with small chores.

By the time the sun was high, he was very hot and hungry, and he wished for a cool place to rest and have some food. As he walked along, he found some shade (阴凉处), and by it were some fine, wild strawberries. “How good these will be with my bread and butter,” thought George excitedly. He picked up all of the strawberries. As he was lifting the first strawberry to his mouth, he remembered his sick mother, alone in her dark, cold room in the village. With this in mind, he put the strawberry back again. “Shall I save them for her?” he asked himself. He thought how nice they would be for her, yet was still looking at them with a longing eye. “I will eat half, and take the other half to her,” he said. He put them into two parts, but each heap looked so small. He put them together again. “I will only eat one.” he thought. But, as he again lifted it to his mouth, he saw that he had taken the finest, and he put it back. When the sun was beginning to drop, George set out for home. How happy he felt that he had all his strawberries for his sick mother. He heard his mother’s weak voice calling him. “Is that you, George? I am glad you have come back.

When your room is clean and tidy, you don’t need to spend time looking for missing socks or school books. Tidying up takes “more time, energy, and hard work,” but the results make you happy relaxed, and can help you sleep better. Staying organized can be a challenge for anyone, and some find it harder than others. The scientist suggests starting with small and easy chores, such as clearing one room at a time, finishing chores as quickly as possible. You can set an alarm if you need. Listening to music or E-book can help make tidying fun. Ask friends to help decide what to keep and what to give away.

People forget to clean it every day. C. People don’t find a place to store things. D. People spend less time indoors on cold days. 29. If we tidy up the room, it can ________. A. influence your attention B. help you find things more easily C. make you feel stressed D. make you harder to make decisions 30 What does the scientist advise about tidying up in the last two paragraphs? ①Start with small chores. ②Finish tasks quickly. ③Ask friends for help on what to keep. ④Listen to music to make tidying fun. ⑤Imagine using your free space for inspiration.
