It wasn’t the darkness itself that I feared. Instead, I was sure that the dark had bad things in it, like bad people and spirits. I kept myself in the protection of light. I went to bed with the hall light on and the door slightly open. One day, I borrowed Jill Tomlinson’s The Owl (猫头鹰) Who Was Afraid of the Dark from the library and fell in love with the baby owl, Plop. Plop thinks the dark is a terrible place, so he won’t go out to look for food with his parents. Later he learns through others who love the dark that it can be exciting, fun, necessary and beautiful. I identified with Plop, but I still didn’t quite believe the wonderfulness of the dark. At the same time, I read Phyllis Arkle’s Magic at midnight. In this book, when the clock struck (报时) 12 at night, all the animals on the signs of the village restaurants came to life and climbed down. These stories made me think of the night as a special place where amazing things could happen. I started to see the possibilities of the dark, but I still felt safer with lots of lights around. Things changed when I moved to the Lake District. There I lived together with real dark in my life. I spent more time outdoors and more time at night. I learned the wonder of a starry sky: the longer you look up, the more stars there are and the deeper you can see into the universe (宇宙). On cold evenings when the stars seemed close enough to touch, I would put on my warm coat and lie on a quiet road, looking up at the sky. I could hear owls calling from the woods. By then, I didn’t feel scared of the owls anymore. I saw them as my friends. I learned to accept the dark and everything that lives in it. 31. The main reason for the writer’s fear of the dark as a kid was ________. A. the darkness itself B. stories in books C. the cold feeling in the dark D. imagined scary things in the dark 32. What does the underlined phrase “identified with” mean? A. Understood B. liked C. Laughed at D. Disagreed with 33. Books helped the writer ________ of the dark. A. get over his fear B. open his mind and see possibilities C. realize the truth D. learn skills to deal with the fear. 34. Which of the following shows the writer’s feeling change about the dark? A. bored→scared→loving B. fearful→uncertain→amazed C. interested→afraid→excited D. fearful→amazed→bored 35. What might be the best title of the passage? A. Stop fear Now B. Love What You Once Feared C. Move from Books to Places D. Beat fear through Experiences 【答案】31. D 32. A 33. B 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者从小害怕黑暗，通过阅读相关书籍以及搬到湖区后的亲身体验，逐渐从害怕黑暗转变为接受并发现黑暗美好的过程。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It wasn’t the darkness itself that I feared. Instead, I was sure that the dark had bad things in it, like bad people and spirits.”可知，作者小时候害怕黑暗的主要原因是想象黑暗中有可怕的东西。故选D。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Plop thinks the dark is a terrible place... I identified with Plop, but I still didn’t quite believe the wonderfulness of the dark.”可知，作者和Plop一样害怕黑暗，所以“identified with”在这里表示“理解、认同”。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“These stories made me think of the night as a special place where amazing things could happen. I started to see the possibilities of the dark”可知，书籍帮助作者打开思路，看到黑暗的可能性。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As a child, I was afraid of the dark” “I started to see the possibilities of the dark, but I still felt safer with lots of lights around” “I learned the wonder of a starry sky... I learned to accept the dark”可知，作者对黑暗的情感变化是从害怕到不确定再到惊叹。故选B。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。根据文章内容，作者最初害怕黑暗，先是通过书籍对黑暗有了新的思考，之后在湖区的生活经历让他真正体验到黑暗的美好并接受了黑暗，重点体现了通过实际经历克服恐惧的过程，“Beat fear through Experiences”更能概括主旨。故选D。 C The Chinese animation (动画) Ne Zha: Demon Child Conquers the Sea (also called Ne Zha 2) has broken global records of animation. This shows the growing success and future of China’s film industry (产业), as reported by China Daily. One of the main reasons why Ne Zha 2 is popular is its amazing visuals (视觉效果) and exciting storyline. The film includes 2,427 scenes, with 1,948 needing special effects (特效)—a huge job for any team. As a result, 138 Chinese animation studios (large or small) and over 4,000 professionals (专业人士) worked on the project, Beijing Daily reported. Red Whale Studios from Suzhou played an important role in finishing a quarter of the making of the film—a team of 160 artists worked day and night for 26 months to create exciting scenes. Yang Yu (also known as Jiaozi) shared that they considered using foreign teams for special effects at first, but the results didn’t bring them satisfaction. ★ A great example is Fantawild Animation from Shenzhen. It created the breathtaking waterfall in the forest fighting scene. Waterfalls are challenging to animate because of their size and always changing movement. To make it look real, the team used best technology with 50 high-powered computers. In the movie, Ne Zha says, “If there’s no way ahead, I will create one.” Similarly, the 138 Chinese animation studios joined forces to push Chinese animation, showing the industry’s talent and creativity. 36. What does “this” refer to? A. The achievement of Ne Zha 2. B. The report by China Daily. C. The Chinese film industry. D. The future of animation. 37. The numbers in paragraph 2 show the making of the film is ________. A. long B. important C. hard D. exciting 38. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. And he invited more foreign teams. B. So the film took more time to finish. C. So he turned to Chinese teams. D. And Chinese teams refused the film. 39. Which words can best describe the Chinese teams working on Ne Zha 2? ①creative ②traditional ③friendly ④talented ⑤skilled A. ①②③ B. ①④⑤ C. ②④⑤ D. ③④⑤ 40.

With the help of his family, he built a pair of wooden legs and put them in the middle of the rain-filled hole, just like someone falling in with his head first. Coxall said that the joke was mostly for fun, but he also meant to let others know the terrible road condition in his village. Four days later, the government filled in the hole. ________ Liu Jiakun has received the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize1. Jiakun, a 68-year-old architect (建筑师), from Chengdu, designs (设计) spaces that bring people together and show cultural traditions, believing architecture can help build “a sense of shared community (社区),” he said. His works include the West Village courtyard in Chengdu, the Suzhou Museum of Imperial Kiln Brick2, and other rebuilding projects in China. Jiakun’s works celebrate the lives of common people. Listening in the wild Seán Ronayne, a bird expert, is working to record every kind of bird in his home country of Ireland for a new documentary (纪录片), Birdsong. He has collected about 12,000 nature recordings, including nearly 200 Irish bird sounds. Ronayne, who began his project in 2018, told the BBC, “I enjoyed telling their stories.” He hopes to get people to know that Ireland’s wildlife is in danger. 1.

Protecting wild animals. B. Working for public interest. C. Following cultural traditions. D. Solving personal problems. B As a child, I was afraid of the dark, as so many children are. It wasn’t the darkness itself that I feared. Instead, I was sure that the dark had bad things in it, like bad people and spirits. I kept myself in the protection of light. I went to bed with the hall light on and the door slightly open. One day, I borrowed Jill Tomlinson’s The Owl (猫头鹰) Who Was Afraid of the Dark from the library and fell in love with the baby owl, Plop. Plop thinks the dark is a terrible place, so he won’t go out to look for food with his parents. Later he learns through others who love the dark that it can be exciting, fun, necessary and beautiful. I identified with Plop, but I still didn’t quite believe the wonderfulness of the dark. At the same time, I read Phyllis Arkle’s Magic at midnight. In this book, when the clock struck (报时) 12 at night, all the animals on the signs of the village restaurants came to life and climbed down. These stories made me think of the night as a special place where amazing things could happen. I started to see the possibilities of the dark, but I still felt safer with lots of lights around. Things changed when I moved to the Lake District. There I lived together with real dark in my life. I spent more time outdoors and more time at night. I learned the wonder of a starry sky: the longer you look up, the more stars there are and the deeper you can see into the universe (宇宙). On cold evenings when the stars seemed close enough to touch, I would put on my warm coat and lie on a quiet road, looking up at the sky. I could hear owls calling from the woods. By then, I didn’t feel scared of the owls anymore. I saw them as my friends. I learned to accept the dark and everything that lives in it. 31. The main reason for the writer’s fear of the dark as a kid was ________. A. the darkness itself B. stories in books C. the cold feeling in the dark D. imagined scary things in the dark 32. What does the underlined phrase “identified with” mean? A Understood B. liked C. Laughed at D. Disagreed with 33. Books helped the writer ________ of the dark. A. get over his fear B. open his mind and see possibilities C. realize the truth D. learn skills to deal with the fear. 34. Which of the following shows the writer’s feeling change about the dark? A. bored→scared→loving B. fearful→uncertain→amazed C. interested→afraid→excited D. fearful→amazed→bored 35. What might be the best title of the passage? A. Stop fear Now B. Love What You Once Feared C. Move from Books to Places D. Beat fear through Experiences C The Chinese animation (动画) Ne Zha: Demon Child Conquers the Sea (also called Ne Zha 2) has broken global records of animation. This shows the growing success and future of China’s film industry (产业), as reported by China Daily. One of the main reasons why Ne Zha 2 is popular is its amazing visuals (视觉效果) and exciting storyline. The film includes 2,427 scenes, with 1,948 needing special effects (特效)—a huge job for any team. As a result, 138 Chinese animation studios (large or small) and over 4,000 professionals (专业人士) worked on the project, Beijing Daily reported. Red Whale Studios from Suzhou played an important role in finishing a quarter of the making of the film—a team of 160 artists worked day and night for 26 months to create exciting scenes. Yang Yu (also known as Jiaozi) shared that they considered using foreign teams for special effects at first, but the results didn’t bring them satisfaction. ★ A great example is Fantawild Animation from Shenzhen. It created the breathtaking waterfall in the forest fighting scene. Waterfalls are challenging to animate because of their size and always changing movement. To make it look real, the team used best technology with 50 high-powered computers. In the movie, Ne Zha says, “If there’s no way ahead, I will create one.” Similarly, the 138 Chinese animation studios joined forces to push Chinese animation, showing the industry’s talent and creativity. 36. What does “this” refer to? A. The achievement of Ne Zha 2. B. The report by China Daily. C. The Chinese film industry. D. The future of animation. 37. The numbers in paragraph 2 show the making of the film is ________. A long B. important C. hard D. exciting 38. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. And he invited more foreign teams. B. So the film took more time to finish. C. So he turned to Chinese teams. D. And Chinese teams refused the film. 39. Which words can best describe the Chinese teams working on Ne Zha 2? ①creative ②traditional ③friendly ④talented ⑤skilled A. ①②③ B. ①④⑤ C. ②④⑤ D. ③④⑤ 40. Which picture best shows how Ne Zha 2 could succeed? A. B. C.
