His students would never 11 their first class he gave them. He always wrote the numbers 2 and 4 on the blackboard in the first class to his 12 students, and asked them, “What is the answer?” Whenever he asked this question, some of his students said 6 was the 13 . Some others thought that 2 was more proper and some of them 14 8 as the answer. Moreover, there were still others who were just 15 on their seats without a word. While the students were discussing what the answer was, Mr. Johnson always 16 their reply patiently. Finally, he sighed (叹气) and said, “Your 17 is useless because none of you focused your attention on the point: What 18 the question is asked about. Did I ask you to do anything about the two 19 ? Were they asked to be added, subtracted (减) or to do some other calculations (计算)? If you don’t know the question exactly, how can you give a 20 answer?” So let that be a lesson to all of us: It is important to know what the question is before we try to find out the key. 11．A．face B．accept C．forget D．cancel 12．A．new B．wise C．famous D．honest 13．A．age B．key C．time D．score 14．A．caught B．chose C．covered D．corrected 15．A．jumping B．landing C．sitting D．walking 16．A．learned from B．dreamed of C．believed in D．waited for 17．A．invention B．translation C．collection D．discussion 18．A．usually B．exactly C．directly D．suddenly 19．A．numbers B．lines C．letters D．shapes 20．A．quick B．short C．right D．ready （2025·黑龙江绥化·中考真题） Do you expect 21 successful in everything you do? If so, then how? Here is an example. There was a farmer who grew corn all his life. Each year he 22 his corn to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the 23 and won the first prize. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned 24 surprising about how he grew it. The farmer offered his seed (种子) corn to his neighbors. “How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors?” the reporter asked, “You know they are taking part in the competition 25 you every year.” “Didn’t you know?” said the farmer, “Tho wind picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it 26 from field to field. If my neighbors grow bad corn, cross-pollination (异花传粉) will affect the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors to grow good corn.” The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn can’t improve 27 his neighbors’ corn improves. As a great man says, “We 28 by what we grow; we make a life by what we give.” We can’t live without food, 29 and many other things. But a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get, but by how much we can give others. Giving instead of 30 makes us different from other animals. So if you choose to live well, you must help others to live well; if you choose to be happy you must help others to find happiness in their life. 21．A．is B．are C．to be 22．A．take B．took C．taken 23．A．good B．better C．best 24．A．anything B．nothing C．something 25．A．with B．on C．at 26．A．quick B．quickly C．more quick 27．A．if B．unless C．when 28．A．make a living B．make living C．makes a living 29．A．clothes B．cloth C．cloths 30．A．get B．to get C．getting （2025·贵州·中考真题） One day, when Andy was taking a walk, he happened to pass by a charming farm.

The book is quite interesting and popular among kids. Even if I am an adult now, the book is 121 one of my favorites. After re-reading the book recently, I have 122 an important lesson from Tom Sawyer. In our daily lives, we are often given some boring or tiring 123 . What’s in your mind when your mother 124 you to do some chores? Have you ever wanted to complain (抱怨)? I think most people have. Tom Sawyer, however, had a different thought when he was given a boring task. One day, Aunt Polly told Tom to 125 the fence (篱笆). Tom was doing his job, when his friend Ben Rogers happened to pass by. Instead of complaining, Tom told Ben that he felt “ 126 ” about the task. “Only one in a thousand—maybe even two thousand—boys can do this!” Tom said. Tom’s words made Ben interested in the task. He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a 127 to paint the fence. If Tom had thought about 128 but complaining, he would have had a bad day painting the fence. This story teaches me a valuable lesson: Complaining is 129 . The next time you are given a boring or tiring task, don’t complain. Unlike what happens in the story of Tom Sawyer, it is unlikely that someone will come and do the work for you. So, don’t complain, 130 you’ll feel better and perhaps even do a better job! 121．A．just B．still C．even D．hardly 122．A．learned B．taught C．given D．attended 123．A．stories B．words C．tasks D．lessons 124．A．trusts B．allows C．helps D．asks 125．A．paint B．repair C．examine D．cross 126．A．bored B．excited C．unexpected D．disappointed 127．A．method B．hobby C．dream D．chance 128．A．everything B．anything C．nothing D．something 129．A．useless B．endless C．powerful D．wonderful 130．A．if B．or C．but D．and （2023·山西·统考中考真题） 请阅读下面短文，理解其大意，然后从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Joe got a bar of chocolate from his father for his cleaning work at home. 131 he was ready to eat it, his elder brother Jack returned home from school.

This happens a lot, especially 106 we go out to have dinner. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our 107 and click.
