I ran away from the huge living thing as fast as possible, and did not stop until I found myself in some fields. The grass was about seven metres high and the crops were about thirteen metres high. It took me an hour to cross just one field. The field had bushes at least forty metres high. ① The trees around were much taller. I was trying to find a hole in the bushes, so that I could get into the next field. I saw another huge man coming towards me. He seemed as tall as a mountain, and his feet were as long as about ten metres.
In great fear and surprise, I hid in the crops, and only hoped he would not notice me. ② He seemed to be a master and shouted in a loud voice. Then seven other huge men came here. The master asked them to cut down the crops in the field while I was hiding. As they moved towards me, I moved away, but at last I came to a part of the field without crops. There was not anywhere for me to hide, and I was afraid that the huge men would cut me into pieces with their knives. I lay down and prepared to die. I could not stop myself thinking of Lilliput. There, I myself was also a huge man and became famous for helping the people in that small country. ③ I began to understand how a very small living felt.
Suddenly, I noticed that one of the huge men was next to me. As his huge foot rose over my head, I screamed as loudly as I could. He looked around on the ground, and finally saw me. He looked at me for a moment, then very carefully, he picked me up with fingers and looked at me. I was now twenty metres up in the air, and I hoped he would not throw me to the ground. ④ I did nothing but spoke politely to him. Of course, I knew he did not understand any of my language. He took me to his master. They soon found that I was not an animal, but a smart living thing. The master carefully put me in his pocket and took me home to show to his wife. When she saw me, she screamed and jumped back in fear, maybe thinking I was an insect. But after a couple of days, she became used to me, and was very kind to me.

In the age of social media, receiving handwritten letters is becoming less and less common (普遍), but not for lifelong pen friends Patsy Gregory and Carol Ann Krause.
Gregory, from England, and Krause, from New York began to send letters to one another across the Atlantic Ocean when they were both just 12 years old. What followed was a friendship that has lasted 68 years.
Gregory and Krause say they sent around 800 letters and notes to one another those years, sending at least one letter every two months.
As Gregory came to her 80th birthday in 2024, she told her daughter, Steph Calam, that one of her biggest regrets (遗憾) was never meeting her pen friend in America.
But it wasn’t a regret soon. On her 80th birthday, Gregory’s children surprised her with a ticket to South Carolina, where Krause now lives, to meet her lifelong friend on July 14, 2024.
The two were both happy to spend time together. They had a lot to talk about. “It felt like meeting an old friend,” Gregory said. “We got on like a house on fire.”
While Gregory and Krause now chat more on social media than through letters, Gregory said she would encourage (鼓励) everyone to have a pen friend. “It’s such a joy to receive a lovely letter,” she said.

【详解】句意:在这部小说里,卡西莫多是个丑陋的男人 ,他来自一个欧洲国家,法国。本题考查不定冠词的使用。ugly是以元音音素 [ʌ]开头,用an;European首字母e不发音,是以辅音音素 [jʊ]开头,用a,故选C。
【点睛】a用于辅音前;an用于元音前。一般说来,元音字母发元音,辅音字母发辅音。
但需请注意以下3点:
(1) 拼写以辅音字母开头读音却以元音开头的单词
hour, honest, honor等单词的拼写虽然以辅音字母h开头,但其读音却以元音开头,因此,前面要用an。
(2) 拼写以元音字母开头读音却以辅音开头的单词
useful, university, usual, united, European, one-eyed, one-way等单词的拼写虽然以元音字母开头,但其读音却以元音开头,因此,前面要用a。
(3)在26个英文字母中,a, e, i, o, f, h, l, m, n, r, s, x这12个字母的读音是以元音开头的,其余字母的读音则是以辅音开头的

I ran away from the huge living thing as fast as possible, and did not stop until I found myself in some fields. The grass was about seven metres high and the crops were about thirteen metres high. It took me an hour to cross just one field. The field had bushes at least forty metres high. ① The trees around were much taller. I was trying to find a hole in the bushes, so that I could get into the next field. I saw another huge man coming towards me. He seemed as tall as a mountain, and his feet were as long as about ten metres.
In great fear and surprise, I hid in the crops, and only hoped he would not notice me. ② He seemed to be a master and shouted in a loud voice. Then seven other huge men came here. The master asked them to cut down the crops in the field while I was hiding. As they moved towards me, I moved away, but at last I came to a part of the field without crops. There was not anywhere for me to hide, and I was afraid that the huge men would cut me into pieces with their knives. I lay down and prepared to die. I could not stop myself thinking of Lilliput. There, I myself was also a huge man and became famous for helping the people in that small country. ③ I began to understand how a very small living felt.
Suddenly, I noticed that one of the huge men was next to me. As his huge foot rose over my head, I screamed as loudly as I could. He looked around on the ground, and finally saw me. He looked at me for a moment, then very carefully, he picked me up with fingers and looked at me. I was now twenty metres up in the air, and I hoped he would not throw me to the ground. ④ I did nothing but spoke politely to him. Of course, I knew he did not understand any of my language. He took me to his master. They soon found that I was not an animal, but a smart living thing. The master carefully put me in his pocket and took me home to show to his wife. When she saw me, she screamed and jumped back in fear, maybe thinking I was an insect. But after a couple of days, she became used to me, and was very kind to me.

【答案】pie
【解析】

五、读写综合
(一)阅读并回答问题。(共5小题,每小题2分,计10分)
In the age of social media, receiving handwritten letters is becoming less and less common (普遍), but not for lifelong pen friends Patsy Gregory and Carol Ann Krause.
Gregory, from England, and Krause, from New York began to send letters to one another across the Atlantic Ocean when they were both just 12 years old. What followed was a friendship that has lasted 68 years.
Gregory and Krause say they sent around 800 letters and notes to one another those years, sending at least one letter every two months.
As Gregory came to her 80th birthday in 2024, she told her daughter, Steph Calam, that one of her biggest regrets (遗憾) was never meeting her pen friend in America.
But it wasn’t a regret soon. On her 80th birthday, Gregory’s children surprised her with a ticket to South Carolina, where Krause now lives, to meet her lifelong friend on July 14, 2024.
The two were both happy to spend time together. They had a lot to talk about. “It felt like meeting an old friend,” Gregory said. “We got on like a house on fire.”
While Gregory and Krause now chat more on social media than through letters, Gregory said she would encourage (鼓励) everyone to have a pen friend. “It’s such a joy to receive a lovely letter,” she said.

【答案】例文
The Changes in My Hometown
My hometown has changed a lot over the years. In the past, the roads were narrow and muddy. The houses were old and small. People mainly made a living by farming, and the living standards were low.
However, with the support of the government, great changes have taken place. The narrow roads have been replaced by wide and clean ones. Many new tall buildings have been built. A large number of villagers have started their own businesses, and their incomes have increased significantly. What’s more, the environment has become much better with more trees and flowers planted everywhere.
I am really proud of these changes. I hope my hometown will develop more rapidly in the future, and people will live a happier life.
