He has lived and farmed all his life in an area of the Lake District which has many mountains, including the tallest mountain in England.

His achievements are nothing short of famous. For example, he smashed his own record and set a new one. At the age of 49, he ran up 214 mountains. “It is a wonderful experience though the practice is very hard,” he said. Many of his runs have raised money for charity, and he is popular in the community. He keeps writing and sharing his experiences about his climb. “I want people back home—especially family and friends who support me—to get a real feel for what it’s like,” he said. 1．Why is Joss famous in certain circles?

Scene One One morning, just when Mr. Wormwood was setting off to cheat others again, Matilda walked into his room quietly to get the hat he wore each day to work. She was too short and had to get it with a walking-stick. Holding the hat in one hand and a bottle of superglue in the other, Matilda put some glue very carefully all round the inside rim (边) of the hat. Then she carefully put the hat back. Scene Two That evening, when Mr. Wormwood got home, he cried, “I can’t take my hat off and I have to keep it all day!” “Don’t be silly,” his wife said. “Come here. I’ll take it off for you.” “Ow-w-w! Don’t do that! Let go! You’ve nearly killed me!” he shouted. “What’s the matter?” Matilda was standing at the door with a book in her hand. Mr. Wormwood looked at her doubtfully, but said nothing. “It must be superglue. Haven’t I told you not to touch the dirty thing?” Mrs. Wormwood said. “I haven’t touched it!” Mr. Wormwood shouted. He turned and looked again at Matilda, who looked back at him with large innocent (无辜的) brown eyes. Scene Three Mr. Wormwood had to keep his hat on all through dinner. Later, he discovered that the worst thing about having the hat was not to take a shower in it, but to sleep in it. “I expect it will be loose (松动) by the morning and then it’ll be taken off easily,” Mrs. Wormwood said. Scene Four But the hat wasn’t loose by the morning. So Mrs. Wormwood cut the thing off his head, bit by bit, first the top and then the rim. At breakfast Matilda said to Mr. Wormwood, “You must try to get those bits off your head. They look like little brown insects. And people will think you’ve got lice (虱子).” “Be quiet!” Mr. Wormwood shouted. “Just keep your mouth shut!” All in all, it is a most satisfying exercise. But don’t get your hopes up that it has taught the cheater a good lesson. (Matilda borrows her friend’s parrot (鹦鹉) and…) 5．What did Matilda put inside Mr. Wormwood’s hat? A．Some hair.

Amy, a 15-year-old girl, is one of them. She has won a master oyster gardener prize this year. She thinks oysters are really helpful. They are environmental stars. “I knew nothing about oyster gardening when I started in 2022. I learned all of this after I completed a free course about it. The course is about raising oysters in cages (笼子),” Amy says. There used to be lots of oysters in coastal waters. But their numbers have diminished. This is mainly because of some natural disasters. Oyster gardening is a way to help. “Anyone can join,” an oyster gardening researcher Liz Black says. “You don’t have to do a lot to take care of your oysters, but the influence they have on the environment is huge,” Amy says. During the oyster gardening season, Amy and her mom go to the beach. There Amy has nine cages. “Once a week I go out there,” she says. She pulls the cages from the water to check conditions of the oysters. This spring, Amy’s oysters will be big enough to be collected. Amy will go with Liz to pick them up. Oysters that are collected will then be “planted” on the reefs (珊瑚礁). So far, Amy has raised more than 1,500 oysters. She’s a great leader of oyster gardening and a great supporter, too. 23．What does Amy think of oysters? A．Huge. B．Clean. C．Helpful. D．Delicious. 24．When did Amy get to know about raising oysters?

Some of my friends asked me, “Don’t you miss your home, Emily?” I told them I was the only child in my family and I truly had an easy life at home. However, I got bored of having a “good” time at home and needed a change. The kids from Africa were eager (渴望的) to learn and easy to teach. I was surprised at how smart they were. Talking with them made me think a lot. When you come from a poor area, you must grow up fast and deal with all kinds of difficult situations. Volunteering has always been easy for me because I don’t like to do the same things every day. My job also gives me the freedom to choose when and where I work. Although I don’t get paid for volunteering, I’m old enough to know that money is not the only way to get rewarded (回报). The experience itself is priceless. I make lots of connections with good people. Also, when I volunteer, I often work with people who are worse off than I am. That has taught me to practice thankfulness for what I have. Believe me, this life lesson is worth a million dollars. I am not a perfect person. In a sense, I think I’m selfish (自私的). But you don’t have to be a perfect, selfless person to volunteer. In fact, I have benefited (受益) a lot from volunteering. Volunteering helps others, and it can also help yourself, too. The biggest benefit of volunteering is that it helps you develop your character (品质), and that’s the passport to a rich and meaningful life. 28．Why did Emily volunteer in Africa? A．She lived a really difficult life at home. B．She hoped to learn a new language there. C．She wanted to experience something new. 29．How were the African kids in Emily’s eyes in Paragraph 2? A．Quite teachable. B．Hard to deal with. C．Bored of learning. 30．What does Emily get from her volunteering experience? A．The freedom to choose a well-paid job. B．The chance to connect with good people a lot. C．The ability to express thanks for what she has lost. 31．Which of the following would Emily most probably agree with? A．Use it or lose it. B．Old habits die hard. C．Giving is receiving. （2025·福建·中考真题） Mary’s uncle Ted was an engineer. He told her great stories about the rockets he helped design, and he often brought Mary science books.

Local people plant suosuo trees, a plant that can survive in the desert, to prevent further desertification (沙漠化). A number of local people have worked hard to turn the place into an oasis (绿洲). 27-year-old Zhong Lin is one of them. Growing up in Minqin, Zhong experienced sandstorms throughout his childhood.

The trip let me enjoy the clear lake and beautiful views in the woods. I felt the difference at once. I relaxed. I came home feeling rested and a little more cheerful. Going camping became a way to reduce the worry in my life. I not only got a nice weekend, but I was also experiencing the benefits (益处) of nature to my mental health (心理健康)—something that researchers and healthcare providers have long noticed. Research has found that as little as five minutes in nature can be helpful for people to reduce worry and feel happier. This means that we can get relaxed and feel better from stepping outside right away. If we are unable to put our whole body and mind into nature — for example, by taking a weekend camping trip — we can still find chances in our area. We can take a five-minute break in a small park near our house or take a moment to sit under a large tree. We’ll find them useful to refresh our mind. Our better feelings in later life can demonstrate the active influence of nature. Besides simply spending more time outdoors, consider how we can enjoy nature even if we have no time to get close to nature. Listen to recorded bird songs or rainstorms instead of music, bring green plants or put pictures of natural beauty into our home. Although bringing nature indoors is quite different from a real outdoor experience, we can still feel nature and experience improved feelings. Being in nature doesn’t ask anything of us. Slow down, go outside, and notice what’s around us. Listen, touch and smell, and we will really notice a benefit in our mental health. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项. 62．What did the writer do last weekend? A．The writer went camping. B．The writer went shopping. C．The writer went skating. 63．Why does the writer mention the research in Paragraph 2? A．To discuss the method of the health research. B．To explain the influence of being outdoors. C．To introduce the trip at the weekend. 64．What does the underlined word “demonstrate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Improve. B．Give. C．Show. 65．What can help people feel better according to the writer? A．Putting plants at home. B．Listening to rock music. C．Taking pictures of houses. 66．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To describe personal worry about nature. B．To share a story about nature with readers. C．To encourage readers to get close to nature. （2025·广西·中考真题） David, aged 14, wants everyone in his school to know they’re important members of the school. People are connected with each other.

During lunch breaks, she wrote her first book, which came out in 2016. Then she published (出版) a series of magic books. In the 2024 book, we meet a boy. He is taken into a secret world filled with strange animals with magic. He soon discovers he can call out those animals by using his energy connected with different feelings. The idea behind the book came from Bell’s strong wish to learn more about the mysteries of science. Bell says, “Even though the book has magic, it is rooted in science.” Bell’s favorite subject at school was science, and she has always believed that magic has a lot to do with science. “People study science. It is full of mystery and the unknown. That feels a lot like magic,” she says. In the 2025 book, we join the boy again as he learns how to improve his skills to call out the animals at a school. Bell says that if she could choose any animal to call out, it would be an “everwing”, which is born from hope. “I can fly, on its back! Hope and imagination have great power. They give me wings to realize my dream.” Bell says science also comes from human curiosity (好奇心) and imagination, which are similar to the hope that creates magic in the story. She hopes her books can encourage young readers to learn more about science. 80．When did Bell’s first book come out? A．In 2016. B．In 2024. C．In 2025. 81．Which can best explain the underlined words “is rooted in”? A．Gets ideas from. B．Pays attention to. C．Makes progress in. 82．Why would Bell like to choose “everwing”?

The library is just seven square meters in size but houses thousands of books on different subjects. “It might be the smallest library in the world,” said Xu Dawei, the owner. “But in another sense, it’s also the biggest because the books keep moving. Once, a reader took a book on Chinese garden history. After finishing it, the reader passed it to a neighbour.

Poor Alice, who was about one foot high after taking some drink, found a cake on the floor. She went up and soon ate all the cake. “How strange! How tall I am!” said Alice. She looked down at her feet—they seemed so far off. In fact, she was now over nine feet high, which meant she still couldn’t get through the door. She sat down, and had a good cry till there was a large pool all round her. Suddenly, she heard the sound of feet not far off. It was the Rabbit that had come back, with a fan in his hand. Alice felt so in need of help from someone, that when he came near, she called out, “If you please, sir....” The Rabbit started as if shot, dropped the fan and ran off as fast as possible. Alice picked up the fan and as the hall was hot, she fanned herself. “Dear, dear! How strange all things are today! I do wish to get out of the hall! ” she said.

Liu Lijie, halfway through a 13-hour workday, usually rides to a restaurant in Beijing for his favorite choice—mutton noodle soup, for 12 yuan, 6 yuan cheaper than the regular price. The reduced-price meals, known as aixincan or loving meals, are available at some restaurants in large cities, home to large populations of migrant workers (农民工) who come looking for jobs. “There is a lot of pressure in life since I came to Beijing to work, so eating aixincan is both cheap and convenient,” says 40-year-old Liu, who arrived in Beijing two years ago from Shanxi province. In order to get back earlier to make money, he digs into his meal hurriedly at the Yushiji Restaurant. Luo Shuai, another delivery driver, learned of Yushiji’s aixincan through his workmates and has since become a daily customer at the restaurant, which serves food from his native (本地的) Henan province. “It reminds me of my hometown,” says 27-year-old Luo, who moved to Beijing at the end of last year. Feng Yong, the 43-year-old manager of a meat pie restaurant, spends much of his day making pies. He says the restaurant began serving aixincan to help people in need and inspire others to do the same. As a Shandong province native who moved to Beijing more than 20 years ago, Feng says he has a deep understanding of being an outsider working in a new city. The key, he says, is to avoid any embarrassment for customers who are in need. The staff do what they can to offer help and don’t ask any private things of the customers. “We don’t refuse them anything, just as long as they’re full,” Feng says. 135．Why does Liu Lijie go to the restaurant in Beijing after the lunchtime rush? A．To have a reduced-price meal. B．To get back to make money. C．To deliver food for the restaurant. D．To sell mutton noodle soup. 136．What makes Luo Shuai homesick? A．The help from his workmates. B．The cheap and convenient meals. C．The Henan food in the restaurant. D．The meat pies in Yushiji Restaurant. 137．According to Feng Yong, what’s important when serving aixincan for customers? A．Making them feel no embarrassment. B．Offering any kind of help to them. C．Asking them to come and eat regularly.

Robinson was an outstanding all-around athlete at the University of California. Yet in 1941 he had to drop out of the university to help his mother support the family. He entered the U.S. Army in 1942 and became a second lieutenant (少尉) in 1943. However, he had to leave the army because he refused to follow an order that a black person like him should sit at the back of the army bus. This might be one of the reasons for his future fight for human rights. Upon leaving the army, Robinson played baseball in a black league team, where he drew the attention of the general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Branch Rickey. Robinson’s talents on the field, his honesty, and his caring for family all satisfied Rickey. In 1947, Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers, becoming the first black player in the major leagues and breaking the 63-year-old “color line”. He achieved quick success on the field and became the National League’s Most Valuable Player in 1949. From 1947 through 1956, he led the Dodgers to six league championships and one World Series victory. The road to success is never smooth. At first, because of his color, Robinson was treated unfairly by baseball fans, players on opposite teams, and even his teammates. He wrote in his book, “Plenty of times I wanted to leave, but I had to hold to myself. I know that I am a black man in a white world. The whole thing is bigger than myself.” After retiring (退役) from baseball in 1957, Robinson went on working for human rights. He was a spokesman for the NAACP and made appearances with Martin Luther King. In 1962, Robinson became the first black person to be introduced into the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1984, Robinson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor for an American. 139．Why did Robinson stop his army life? A．Because he did not want to be a second lieutenant. B．Because he refused to sit at the back of the army bus. C．Because he had to help his mother to support his family. D．Because he wanted to play in the American major leagues. 140．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A．Robinson’s baseball team. B．Robinson’s baseball experiences. C．Robinson’s baseball talents. D．Robinson’s friendship with Rickey. 141．Robinson didn’t leave the baseball team even when he was treated unfairly probably because ______. A．he was the leading player in the baseball team B．he needed to make a living by playing baseball C．he thought Rickey would give him bigger tasks D．he wanted to fight for human rights for the black 142．What conclusion can we draw from the article?

We eat flower nectar (蜜). We fly around a few thousand flowers each day to get as much food as possible. As we move our wings really fast, we burn through energy fast. So we need to keep feeding. Hello~from~a~sloth~in~the~South~America! Our favorite food? Low-energy leaves! Do we eat a lot? No. We slow-movers don’t need a lot of energy.

Young male Peking Opera artists in their 20s were applying makeup, adjusting costumes, stretching, and clearing their throats. The air was filled with the sounds of traditional Chinese instruments. “These young people started learning with me when they were just kids—now they’re adults, leading the shows themselves,” says Yang Shaochun, an 85-year-old Peking Opera master. This weekend, four shows will be put on at Beijing People’s Theatre. Young wuxi artists will play the lead roles. Wuxi, or martial (武术的) play, is the base of the fighting and movement part in Peking Opera. Wei Pengyu, a 29-year-old actor, was attracted to Peking Opera as a child—not by the music or stories at first, but by the colorful, amazing facial masks that brought the characters to life. At 14, he began training in Peking Opera, especially in wusheng—a male role type. “For me, stepping into the role of a hero is a dream come true,” he says. “Playing wuxi isn’t just about action—it’s about expressing the character’s courage, justice (正义), loyalty and strength through movements,” says Xu Zhouyi, 25, another male actor. Later that evening, a classic piece San Cha Kou was played by two young actors, Wu Zeyu and Shu Jiaxing. The viewers were attracted to the great scene and cheered for the actors’ excellent martial art movements. Wu and Shu practiced together for nearly a year. “San Cha Kou is a test of trust between two actors. We have to read each other’s energy—know when one is speeding up or slowing down. Every movement must be perfectly counted to avoid real crashes while still looking dangerous,” says Wu. 146．What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 1? A．Asking the master for help. B．Getting ready for the show. C．Having a martial art lesson. D．Learning a new instrument. 147．Why does the writer mention Wei Pengyu and Xu Zhouyi? A．To share their life experiences. B．To compare their training results. C．To show their understanding of wuxi. D．To express their love for facial masks. 148．What message can we learn from the successful show of San Cha Kou? A．Practice makes perfect. B．One is never too old to learn. C．Great hopes make great man. D．Friends should be few but good. 149．What is a suitable title for the text? A．Wuxi movements impress viewers B．Young actors shine in Peking Opera C．Wuxi actors celebrate after graduating D．A Peking Opera master opens a school （2025·四川南充·中考真题） In 2019, a white-haired senior was awarded the Friendship Medal, the highest order of honor of China for foreigners.

In 1947, she started to study the ongoing land reform (改革). A year later, she finished the study and accepted the invitation to stay in China for language teaching.

Without enough teaching materials, she could only collect articles from English newspapers and magazines. In spoken English teaching, Isabel asked students to watch her in a given conversation first. Since there were no tape recorders at school, she had to perform the conversation again and again.

Soon, she appeared, holding a bright blue glass bottle. It was passed to another, then into the boat. On a fine Sunday morning in May, a team of 10 women over 65 years old, known as the Old Women Against Underwater Rubbish (OWAUR), looked for rubbish across Nova Pond in Scotia. When the team returned, they joked about the trip. “We didn’t even know what it was,” one swimmer said with a laugh, showing an electronic lighter they had found. “We had to ask a young person.” Part protection organization, part social club, OWAUR only accepted old women as its members. To improve the conditions of the ponds, the group made it its mission to take rubbish away from them. The idea of this group was from a moment of Sandy, a retired (退休的) reporter. As a lifelong nature lover, she liked swimming in ponds. However, the world of the pond, which was a little polluted, made her anxious. Then she came up with a slogan (标语): “OVER 65, IF YOU’RE HEALTHY ENOUGH, IS THE AGE OF ACTION.” Soon many people joined her. They found a sense of wonder at the pond cleanup moments. And their team could do a lot more than people might think. When many people thanked OWAUR for what they had done, some questioned why they called themselves “old women”. “You should call yourselves the Mermaids (美人鱼) Against Underwater Rubbish,” they said. 29．What does “another” in paragraph 1 refer to?

Everyone else was asleep. I had my flashlight (手电筒) on under the sleeping bag. Maybe the light was why I couldn’t sleep, but I was too afraid to turn it off. What had happened kept coming back to my mind. When we got back to the camp, no one noticed we’d been gone. The teachers and all the other kids were still watching the movie. They didn’t know how something bad had just happened to me and Jack. It’s so strange how that can be, how you could have a night that’s the worst in your life, but to everybody else it’s just a usual night. Amos, Miles and Henry brought us back to our seats. Then they returned to their own seats. In a way, everything was exactly as we had left it. The sky was the same. The movie was the same. Everyone’s faces were the same. Mine was the same. But something was different. Something had changed. Home “So, do you want to hear about the bad part or the good part first?” I asked Mum. “Whatever you want to talk about,” she answered. “Well, except for last night, I had a fantastic time,” I said. “I feel like they ruined (毁坏) the whole trip for me.” “No, sweetie. Don’t let them do that to you. You were there for more than forty-eight hours, and that awful part lasted one hour. Don’t let them take that away from you, okay?” “I know.” I nodded. “But do I always have to worry about bad guys like that? Like when I grow up, is it always going to be like this?” “There are always going to be bad guys in the world, Auggie,” she said, looking at me. “But I really believe there are more good people on this earth than bad people, and the good people watch out for each other and take care of each other. Just like Jack was there for you. And Amos. And those other kids.” “Oh yeah, Miles and Henry,” I answered. “They were amazing, too. It’s very strange because Miles and Henry haven’t even really been very nice to me at all during the year.” “Sometimes people surprise us,” she said, rubbing the top of my head. 34．Why couldn’t Auggie fall asleep?

Her father came into the kitchen and said, “Mom wants you to clean your room. It looks as if a hurricane passed through it.” Joe, Vicky’s little brother, asked, “A hurricane? Is that a bad thing?” “Sure it is,” said his father. “I’ll do it after school, Dad,” said Vicky. “My first class is geography and Mr. Miller hates people to be late.” And off she ran through the front door.

She put all of her things in their proper places. “Mom,” she called. “Can you come here for a minute?” Vicky’s mother put her head around the door. “Vicky!” she said. “That looks fantastic!

I pulled the cart. The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily. Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much higher. My master said to John, “I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain. We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare (敢于) not go forward, and I made a dead stop. “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward. “There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. “Come on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe. Just then the man on the other side saw us. “Hey! Halloo! Stop!” he cried. “What’s the matter?” shouted my master. “The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.” “Thank you for saving us, Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side.

When he ran his first mountain race, he discovered that he fell in love with it. All his time spent herding (放牧) sheep on the mountains had prepared him for this. His achievements are nothing short of famous. For example, he smashed his own record and set a new one. At the age of 49, he ran up 214 mountains. “It is a wonderful experience though the practice is very hard,” he said. Many of his runs have raised money for charity, and he is popular in the community.

Matilda, a book lover, hates that.) Scene One One morning, just when Mr. Wormwood was setting off to cheat others again, Matilda walked into his room quietly to get the hat he wore each day to work. She was too short and had to get it with a walking-stick. Holding the hat in one hand and a bottle of superglue in the other, Matilda put some glue very carefully all round the inside rim (边) of the hat. Then she carefully put the hat back. Scene Two That evening, when Mr. Wormwood got home, he cried, “I can’t take my hat off and I have to keep it all day!” “Don’t be silly,” his wife said. “Come here. I’ll take it off for you.” “Ow-w-w! Don’t do that! Let go! You’ve nearly killed me!” he shouted. “What’s the matter?” Matilda was standing at the door with a book in her hand. Mr. Wormwood looked at her doubtfully, but said nothing. “It must be superglue. Haven’t I told you not to touch the dirty thing?” Mrs. Wormwood said. “I haven’t touched it!” Mr. Wormwood shouted. He turned and looked again at Matilda, who looked back at him with large innocent (无辜的) brown eyes. Scene Three Mr. Wormwood had to keep his hat on all through dinner. Later, he discovered that the worst thing about having the hat was not to take a shower in it, but to sleep in it. “I expect it will be loose (松动) by the morning and then it’ll be taken off easily,” Mrs. Wormwood said. Scene Four But the hat wasn’t loose by the morning. So Mrs. Wormwood cut the thing off his head, bit by bit, first the top and then the rim. At breakfast Matilda said to Mr. Wormwood, “You must try to get those bits off your head. They look like little brown insects. And people will think you’ve got lice (虱子).” “Be quiet!” Mr. Wormwood shouted. “Just keep your mouth shut!” All in all, it is a most satisfying exercise. But don’t get your hopes up that it has taught the cheater a good lesson. (Matilda borrows her friend’s parrot (鹦鹉) and…) 5．What did Matilda put inside Mr. Wormwood’s hat? A．Some hair. B．Some superglue. C．A book. D．A stick. 6．According to Scene Two, which word best describes Matilda? A．Creative. B．Friendly. C．Shy. D．Calm. 7．What can we infer from the text? A．The couple loved each other very much. B．Mrs. Wormwood really enjoyed cutting hair. C．Matilda would continue to punish the cheater. D．Mr. Wormwood wouldn’t cheat others any more. 8． Each picture above matches one scene. Which scene is missing? A．Scene One. B．Scene Two. C．Scene Three. D．Scene Four. 【答案】5．B 6．D 7．C 8．C 【导语】本文讲述了Matilda通过巧妙设计用胶水将父亲的帽子粘在头上，以此惩罚他的不诚实行为，并展现了她的创造力和机智。 5．细节理解题。根据Scene One中“Holding the hat in one hand and a bottle of superglue in the other, Matilda put some glue very carefully all round the inside rim (边) of the hat.” 可知，Matilda在Mr. Wormwood的帽子内侧涂上了超强胶水。故选B。 6．推理判断题。根据“One morning, just when Mr. Wormwood was setting off to cheat others again, Matilda walked into his room quietly to get the hat he wore each day to work. She was too short and had to get it with a walking-stick. Holding the hat in one hand and a bottle of superglue in the other, Matilda put some glue very carefully all round the inside rim (边) of the hat. Then she carefully put the hat back.”和“Matilda was standing at the door with a book in her hand. Mr. Wormwood looked at her doubtfully, but said nothing.… Mr. Wormwood shouted. He turned and looked again at Matilda, who looked back at him with large innocent (无辜的) brown eyes.”可知，当Matilda用超强胶水粘父亲帽子时动作非常小心翼翼，可看出她处事冷静；当Mr. Wormwood发现他的帽子无法摘下时，Matilda站在门口，手里拿着一本书，用无辜的眼神看着他。这表明她巧妙地设计了这个恶作剧，利用超强胶水让父亲的帽子粘住头部，并且平静地看着一切发生。说明她沉着冷静。故选D。 7．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“All in all, it is a most satisfying exercise. But don’t get your hopes up that it has taught the cheater a good lesson.”可以推断出，尽管这次恶作剧让Mr. Wormwood受到了教训，但Matilda可能认为这还不够，她可能会继续寻找方法来惩罚这位欺骗者。故选C。 8．推理判断题。第一张图片显示的是Mrs. Wormwood在给Mr. Wormwood摘帽子，但还是拿不下来，对应Scene Two；第二张图片显示的是Mrs. Wormwood把Mr. Wormwood头上的帽子剪下来，Matilda在旁边说风凉话，对应Scene Four。第三张图片显示的是Matilda在取Mr. Wormwood的帽子，对应Scene One。因此，缺少的场景是Scene Three。故选C。 （2025·新疆·中考真题） 阅读下面材料，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 When I was a little girl, our families would always gather for big meals.

Oyster gardening is a way to help. “Anyone can join,” an oyster gardening researcher Liz Black says. “You don’t have to do a lot to take care of your oysters, but the influence they have on the environment is huge,” Amy says. During the oyster gardening season, Amy and her mom go to the beach. There Amy has nine cages. “Once a week I go out there,” she says. She pulls the cages from the water to check conditions of the oysters. This spring, Amy’s oysters will be big enough to be collected. Amy will go with Liz to pick them up. Oysters that are collected will then be “planted” on the reefs (珊瑚礁). So far, Amy has raised more than 1,500 oysters.

Some of my friends asked me, “Don’t you miss your home, Emily?” I told them I was the only child in my family and I truly had an easy life at home. However, I got bored of having a “good” time at home and needed a change. The kids from Africa were eager (渴望的) to learn and easy to teach. I was surprised at how smart they were. Talking with them made me think a lot. When you come from a poor area, you must grow up fast and deal with all kinds of difficult situations. Volunteering has always been easy for me because I don’t like to do the same things every day. My job also gives me the freedom to choose when and where I work. Although I don’t get paid for volunteering, I’m old enough to know that money is not the only way to get rewarded (回报). The experience itself is priceless. I make lots of connections with good people. Also, when I volunteer, I often work with people who are worse off than I am. That has taught me to practice thankfulness for what I have. Believe me, this life lesson is worth a million dollars. I am not a perfect person. In a sense, I think I’m selfish (自私的). But you don’t have to be a perfect, selfless person to volunteer. In fact, I have benefited (受益) a lot from volunteering. Volunteering helps others, and it can also help yourself, too. The biggest benefit of volunteering is that it helps you develop your character (品质), and that’s the passport to a rich and meaningful life. 28．Why did Emily volunteer in Africa? A．She lived a really difficult life at home. B．She hoped to learn a new language there. C．She wanted to experience something new. 29．How were the African kids in Emily’s eyes in Paragraph 2?

B．Old habits die hard. C．Giving is receiving. 【答案】28．C 29．A 30．B 31．C 【导语】本文讲述了Emily作为一名志愿者在非洲教授英语的经历。 28．细节理解题。根据“However, I got bored of having a ‘good’ time at home and needed a change.”可知Emily在非洲做志愿者是因为她厌倦了在家里的“美好”时光，需要一些改变，即她想体验一些新的事物。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据“The kids from Africa were eager (渴望的) to learn and easy to teach”可知在Emily眼中，非洲的孩子们渴望学习，很容易教。故选A。 30．细节理解题。根据“I make lots of connections with good people.”可知Emily从她的志愿者经历中得到了很多与好人建立联系的机会。故选B。 31．推理判断题。根据“Volunteering helps others, and it can also help yourself, too”可知Emily认为做志愿者既能帮助别人，也能帮助自己，即付出就是收获。故选C。 （2025·福建·中考真题） Mary’s uncle Ted was an engineer. He told her great stories about the rockets he helped design, and he often brought Mary science books. He also taught her some knowledge about space.

Local people plant suosuo trees, a plant that can survive in the desert, to prevent further desertification (沙漠化). A number of local people have worked hard to turn the place into an oasis (绿洲). 27-year-old Zhong Lin is one of them. Growing up in Minqin, Zhong experienced sandstorms throughout his childhood. He once wanted to run away from his hometown and build his future in southern China. However, he changed his mind when he saw the villagers’ hard life and the terrible environment there. He said, “Suddenly I understood—running away isn’t the solution.

Since then, Zhong has tried planting suosuo trees in the desert. He planted 500 trees in 2021, but most of them died. So he studied, learned from experienced villagers, and then planted more. After three years’ efforts, the trees he planted are now growing well in the desert, turning the land green and lively. To draw attention to his hometown’s environment, Zhong shared videos about tree planting online and started a “Please Plant a Tree in Minqin” activity.

The trip let me enjoy the clear lake and beautiful views in the woods. I felt the difference at once. I relaxed. I came home feeling rested and a little more cheerful. Going camping became a way to reduce the worry in my life. I not only got a nice weekend, but I was also experiencing the benefits (益处) of nature to my mental health (心理健康)—something that researchers and healthcare providers have long noticed. Research has found that as little as five minutes in nature can be helpful for people to reduce worry and feel happier. This means that we can get relaxed and feel better from stepping outside right away. If we are unable to put our whole body and mind into nature — for example, by taking a weekend camping trip — we can still find chances in our area. We can take a five-minute break in a small park near our house or take a moment to sit under a large tree. We’ll find them useful to refresh our mind. Our better feelings in later life can demonstrate the active influence of nature. Besides simply spending more time outdoors, consider how we can enjoy nature even if we have no time to get close to nature. Listen to recorded bird songs or rainstorms instead of music, bring green plants or put pictures of natural beauty into our home. Although bringing nature indoors is quite different from a real outdoor experience, we can still feel nature and experience improved feelings. Being in nature doesn’t ask anything of us. Slow down, go outside, and notice what’s around us. Listen, touch and smell, and we will really notice a benefit in our mental health. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项. 62．What did the writer do last weekend? A．The writer went camping. B．The writer went shopping. C．The writer went skating. 63．Why does the writer mention the research in Paragraph 2? A．To discuss the method of the health research. B．To explain the influence of being outdoors. C．To introduce the trip at the weekend. 64．What does the underlined word “demonstrate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Improve. B．Give. C．Show. 65．What can help people feel better according to the writer? A．Putting plants at home. B．Listening to rock music. C．Taking pictures of houses. 66．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To describe personal worry about nature. B．To share a story about nature with readers. C．To encourage readers to get close to nature. 【答案】62．A 63．B 64．C 65．A 66．C 【导语】本文是作者结合自己的露营经历，阐述亲近自然对心理健康的益处，最终呼吁读者放慢脚步、感受自然，以改善精神状态。 62．细节理解题。根据“Last weekend, I went camping after a long time of tiring work.”可知，上周末作者去露营了，故选A。 63．推理判断题。根据“Research has found that as little as five minutes in nature can be helpful for people to reduce worry and feel happier. This means that we can get relaxed and feel better from stepping outside right away.”可知，哪怕只是在大自然中待上短短五分钟，也能帮助人们减轻忧虑，感到更快乐。这意味着我们只要一走出户外，就能放松身心，感觉更好，由此可知，提到这个研究是为了解释户外活动的影响，故选B。 64．词义猜测题。根据“Our better feelings in later life can demonstrate the active influence of nature.”可知，晚年的美好情感能够证明大自然的积极影响，所以划线单词与show同义，故选C。 65．细节理解题。根据“Although bringing nature indoors is quite different from a real outdoor experience, we can still feel nature and experience improved feelings.”可知，在家中摆放植物能模拟自然体验，改善情绪，故选A。 66．主旨大意题。根据“Being in nature doesn’t ask anything of us. Slow down, go outside, and notice what’s around us. Listen, touch and smell, and we will really notice a benefit in our mental health”可知，全文通过个人经历、科学研究和实用建议，鼓励读者亲近自然以提升心理健康，故选C。 （2025·广西·中考真题） David, aged 14, wants everyone in his school to know they’re important members of the school.

During lunch breaks, she wrote her first book, which came out in 2016. Then she published (出版) a series of magic books. In the 2024 book, we meet a boy. He is taken into a secret world filled with strange animals with magic. He soon discovers he can call out those animals by using his energy connected with different feelings. The idea behind the book came from Bell’s strong wish to learn more about the mysteries of science. Bell says, “Even though the book has magic, it is rooted in science.” Bell’s favorite subject at school was science, and she has always believed that magic has a lot to do with science. “People study science. It is full of mystery and the unknown. That feels a lot like magic,” she says. In the 2025 book, we join the boy again as he learns how to improve his skills to call out the animals at a school. Bell says that if she could choose any animal to call out, it would be an “everwing”, which is born from hope. “I can fly, on its back! Hope and imagination have great power. They give me wings to realize my dream.” Bell says science also comes from human curiosity (好奇心) and imagination, which are similar to the hope that creates magic in the story. She hopes her books can encourage young readers to learn more about science. 80．When did Bell’s first book come out? A．In 2016. B．In 2024. C．In 2025. 81．Which can best explain the underlined words “is rooted in”? A．Gets ideas from. B．Pays attention to. C．Makes progress in. 82．Why would Bell like to choose “everwing”?

C．Science and magic have something in common. 84．What is Bell’s purpose of writing the two magic books? A．To open the door to the magic world for readers.

Liu Lijie, halfway through a 13-hour workday, usually rides to a restaurant in Beijing for his favorite choice—mutton noodle soup, for 12 yuan, 6 yuan cheaper than the regular price. The reduced-price meals, known as aixincan or loving meals, are available at some restaurants in large cities, home to large populations of migrant workers (农民工) who come looking for jobs. “There is a lot of pressure in life since I came to Beijing to work, so eating aixincan is both cheap and convenient,” says 40-year-old Liu, who arrived in Beijing two years ago from Shanxi province. In order to get back earlier to make money, he digs into his meal hurriedly at the Yushiji Restaurant. Luo Shuai, another delivery driver, learned of Yushiji’s aixincan through his workmates and has since become a daily customer at the restaurant, which serves food from his native (本地的) Henan province. “It reminds me of my hometown,” says 27-year-old Luo, who moved to Beijing at the end of last year. Feng Yong, the 43-year-old manager of a meat pie restaurant, spends much of his day making pies. He says the restaurant began serving aixincan to help people in need and inspire others to do the same. As a Shandong province native who moved to Beijing more than 20 years ago, Feng says he has a deep understanding of being an outsider working in a new city. The key, he says, is to avoid any embarrassment for customers who are in need. The staff do what they can to offer help and don’t ask any private things of the customers. “We don’t refuse them anything, just as long as they’re full,” Feng says. 135．Why does Liu Lijie go to the restaurant in Beijing after the lunchtime rush? A．To have a reduced-price meal. B．To get back to make money. C．To deliver food for the restaurant. D．To sell mutton noodle soup. 136．What makes Luo Shuai homesick? A．The help from his workmates.

A．Making them feel no embarrassment. B．Offering any kind of help to them. C．Asking them to come and eat regularly. D．Paying attention to their private life. 138．What do Liu Lijie, Luo Shuai and Feng Yong have in common? A．All of them prefer the reduced-price meals. B．None of them are local to their workplaces.

Robinson was an outstanding all-around athlete at the University of California. Yet in 1941 he had to drop out of the university to help his mother support the family. He entered the U.S. Army in 1942 and became a second lieutenant (少尉) in 1943. However, he had to leave the army because he refused to follow an order that a black person like him should sit at the back of the army bus. This might be one of the reasons for his future fight for human rights. Upon leaving the army, Robinson played baseball in a black league team, where he drew the attention of the general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Branch Rickey. Robinson’s talents on the field, his honesty, and his caring for family all satisfied Rickey. In 1947, Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers, becoming the first black player in the major leagues and breaking the 63-year-old “color line”. He achieved quick success on the field and became the National League’s Most Valuable Player in 1949. From 1947 through 1956, he led the Dodgers to six league championships and one World Series victory. The road to success is never smooth. At first, because of his color, Robinson was treated unfairly by baseball fans, players on opposite teams, and even his teammates. He wrote in his book, “Plenty of times I wanted to leave, but I had to hold to myself. I know that I am a black man in a white world. The whole thing is bigger than myself.” After retiring (退役) from baseball in 1957, Robinson went on working for human rights. He was a spokesman for the NAACP and made appearances with Martin Luther King. In 1962, Robinson became the first black person to be introduced into the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1984, Robinson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor for an American. 139．Why did Robinson stop his army life? A．Because he did not want to be a second lieutenant. B．Because he refused to sit at the back of the army bus. C．Because he had to help his mother to support his family. D．Because he wanted to play in the American major leagues. 140．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A．Robinson’s baseball team. B．Robinson’s baseball experiences. C．Robinson’s baseball talents.

In 1984, Robinson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor for an American.”可知，1962年，Robinson成为首位入选棒球名人堂的黑人；1984年，他被授予美国总统自由勋章——美国公民的最高荣誉，故可推测出，Robinson的成就得到了广泛认可。故选B。 （2025·江苏连云港·中考真题） Hello from nature’s foodies As a proud grizzly bear, I say hello from Alaska. We eat anything we can get our paws on. One of my favourite meals is catching fresh salmon. There’s nothing quite like the pleasure of a stomach full of fresh fish! I’m a blue whale. I may eat up to 3.6 million krill (磷虾) per day! You may wonder why such huge animals live on such tiny food? It’s because our mouths only have rows of baleen (鲸须). It lets water flow out while holding in tiny things. I’m a hummingbird. We eat flower nectar (蜜). We fly around a few thousand flowers each day to get as much food as possible. As we move our wings really fast, we burn through energy fast. So we need to keep feeding. Hello~from~a~sloth~in~the~South~America! Our favorite food? Low-energy leaves! Do we eat a lot? No. We slow-movers don’t need a lot of energy. Even our stomachs work so slowly that after a meal, we’re too tired to do anything but... sleep! 143．Why does a blue whale live on tiny living things? A．It is the largest sea animal. B．It is too slow to catch large fish. C．It only has baleen instead of teeth. D．It likes a stomach full of tiny food. 144．What decide how much hummingbirds and sloths eat? A．Living places. B．Diet lists. C．Daily activities.

It lets water flow out while holding in tiny things.”可知蓝鲸以磷虾等微小生物为食，是因为它们的嘴里只有鲸须，这种结构可以让水流出，同时保留微小的食物。故选C。 144．推理判断题。根据“As we move our wings really fast, we burn through energy fast. So we need to keep feeding.”以及“No. We slow-movers don’t need a lot of energy”可知蜂鸟需要大量进食是因为它们的翅膀快速振动，消耗能量极快，需要不断补充能量，而树懒则因为活动缓慢，能量消耗低，所以不需要大量进食，这都与它们的日常活动密切相关。故选C。 145．推理判断题。本文介绍了不同动物的饮食习性，故文章可能来自杂志的“野生动物”部分。故选A。 （2025·江苏连云港·中考真题） An hour before the show, the backstage (后台) was busy and noisy. Young male Peking Opera artists in their 20s were applying makeup, adjusting costumes, stretching, and clearing their throats. The air was filled with the sounds of traditional Chinese instruments. “These young people started learning with me when they were just kids—now they’re adults, leading the shows themselves,” says Yang Shaochun, an 85-year-old Peking Opera master. This weekend, four shows will be put on at Beijing People’s Theatre. Young wuxi artists will play the lead roles. Wuxi, or martial (武术的) play, is the base of the fighting and movement part in Peking Opera. Wei Pengyu, a 29-year-old actor, was attracted to Peking Opera as a child—not by the music or stories at first, but by the colorful, amazing facial masks that brought the characters to life. At 14, he began training in Peking Opera, especially in wusheng—a male role type. “For me, stepping into the role of a hero is a dream come true,” he says. “Playing wuxi isn’t just about action—it’s about expressing the character’s courage, justice (正义), loyalty and strength through movements,” says Xu Zhouyi, 25, another male actor. Later that evening, a classic piece San Cha Kou was played by two young actors, Wu Zeyu and Shu Jiaxing. The viewers were attracted to the great scene and cheered for the actors’ excellent martial art movements. Wu and Shu practiced together for nearly a year. “San Cha Kou is a test of trust between two actors. We have to read each other’s energy—know when one is speeding up or slowing down. Every movement must be perfectly counted to avoid real crashes while still looking dangerous,” says Wu. 146．What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 1? A．Asking the master for help. B．Getting ready for the show. C．Having a martial art lesson. D．Learning a new instrument. 147．Why does the writer mention Wei Pengyu and Xu Zhouyi? A．To share their life experiences. B．To compare their training results. C．To show their understanding of wuxi. D．To express their love for facial masks. 148．What message can we learn from the successful show of San Cha Kou? A．Practice makes perfect. B．One is never too old to learn. C．Great hopes make great man. D．Friends should be few but good. 149．What is a suitable title for the text? A．Wuxi movements impress viewers B．Young actors shine in Peking Opera C．Wuxi actors celebrate after graduating D．A Peking Opera master opens a school 【答案】146．B 147．C 148．A 149．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了年轻的京剧演员们在舞台上的出色表现，以及他们对武戏的理解和努力。 146．词句猜测题。根据“were applying makeup, adjusting costumes, stretching, and clearing their throats”可知20多岁的年轻男性京剧艺术家正在化妆、调整服装、伸展和清嗓子，这些都是演员们在后台为演出做准备的活动。故选B。 147．推理判断题。根据“Wei Pengyu, a 29-year-old actor, was attracted to Peking Opera as a child—not by the music or stories at first, but by the colorful, amazing facial masks that brought the characters to life”以及“Playing wuxi isn’t just about action—it’s about expressing the character’s courage, justice (正义), loyalty and strength through movements”可知Wei Pengyu被脸谱吸引，而Xu Zhouyi强调通过动作表达角色的勇气、正义、忠诚和力量，所以文章提到Wei Pengyu和Xu Zhouyi，主要是为了展示他们对武戏的理解和体会。故选C。 148．推理判断题。根据“Wu and Shu practiced together for nearly a year...We have to read each other’s energy—know when one is speeding up or slowing down. Every movement must be perfectly counted to avoid real crashes while still looking dangerous”可知Wu Zeyu和Shu Jiaxing为了表演《三岔口》练习了近一年，他们需要相互配合，精准控制每一个动作，以避免真实碰撞，同时看起来还要惊险，这体现了“熟能生巧”的道理。故选A。 149．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了年轻的京剧演员们在舞台上的出色表现，以及他们对武戏的理解和努力，以选项B“年轻演员在京剧中大放异彩”为标题最合适。故选B。 （2025·四川南充·中考真题） In 2019, a white-haired senior was awarded the Friendship Medal, the highest order of honor of China for foreigners.
