I’m going to build a fence. Will you help me, Beth?” I liked helping him, but I didn’t think building a fence was a good idea. So I asked, “Why not talk to Mr. Wilkin about this?” “It’s easier said than done. He hasn’t spoken to us since we moved in. A fence is the best solution,” my father said and walked to the garden. But I didn’t follow him. I went to the front yard instead. There, I saw Mr. Wilkin sitting outside with a white rabbit on his leg. I walked over. “Hello, I’m Beth. I live next door,” I said. “Oh, yes. Welcome and come to meet Blinky. Would you like to hold her?” Mr. Wilkin offered. “Sure.” I took the rabbit and held her in my arms. “It seems that your father is starting a new project…” Mr. Wilkin said. “Yes. He’s building a fence because your rabbits keep getting into his garden,” I replied. “I’m sorry about that. I try to keep them in at night. But the rabbits want to get out. You see, there’s something wrong with my legs. I can’t run after them,” Mr. Wilkin said. “I don’t want my dad to build the fence,” I said. “It’s like building a wall to separate (分离) us.” Suddenly, I had an idea—We could build a rabbit hutch (笼) between the yards. To my surprise, both Mr. Wilkin and Dad agreed. Thanks to the hutch, it not only kept our yard safe but also helped us build a strong friendship with the Wilkins. 21. What made Beth’s father angry?

Have you sold anything of yours to others? Any stories behind it? ② Once we had a comfortable, beautiful summer day outside after a whole week of rain. My family and I were driving to a nearby town when my daughter found a yard sale. We saw old toys and a couple of guitars. We saw huge piles of clothes and even a piece of furniture (家具) or two for sale. Best of all, we saw lots of smiling people talking, laughing, sitting and standing in the sunshine. ③ Seeing all of this brought back memories of my childhood. Most of my clothes back then came from yard sales. My mom was a talented yard sale shopper. I used to hate going to them until one special day when I saw that they also sold old books there. After that, I always read through the books until it was time to go and sometimes my mom would buy me one too. Soon a large part of my home library came from yard sale books. To me, they were more priceless than new ones. ④ Why do we have yard sales? We get rid of (除去) our old things and we buy “new” old things. But it certainly isn’t for the money. It’s that yard sales bring us together. We talk and catch up with old friends and new neighbors. We connect (连接) with kindness and our love for all the old stuff (物品). ⑤ I think yard sales teach us something about life too. We can’t really own anything here, after all. All we get is to have the stuff for a period of time. Then it is time to let it go and pass it on. 26. What made the writer start enjoying yard sales? A. She saw smiling people. B. She found old books there. C. Her mom liked yard sales. D. Her mom developed her talents there. 27. Why did the writer use quotation marks (引号) for “new” in Paragraph 4? A. To show that the stuff was not new in fact. B. To tell that the stuff was important or special. C. To bring out the excitement of finding special stuff. D. To make the word stand out and draw attention (注意). 28. According to the writer, what is the main reason why people have yard sales? A. To make money. B. To get rid of old things. C. To find valuable stuff. D. To connect with others. 29. What’s the structure (结构) of the passage? A. B. C. D. 30. What lesson does the writer tell us about belongings (所有物)? A. We can own things forever. B. We must keep everything we buy. C. We need to let go and pass things on. D. We should forget the past and face forward. 【答案】26. B 27. A 28. D 29. A 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文通过作者带家人参加庭院拍卖的经历，回忆了童年时在庭院拍卖中发现旧书的乐趣，并由此引发对庭院拍卖深层意义的思考。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I used to hate going to them until one special day when I saw that they also sold old books there. After that, I always read through the books...”可知，作者发现庭院售卖有旧书后开始喜欢。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“We get rid of (除去) our old things and we buy ‘new’ old things.”可知，“new”加引号是因物品实际不新，是旧物。故选A。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It’s that yard sales bring us together. We talk and catch up with old friends and new neighbors.”可知，庭院售卖主要是为和他人建立联系。故选D。 【29题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第①段引出话题，为第一部分；第②③段在讲述作者参与庭院拍卖的经历，为第二部分；第④⑤段在讲述人们举办庭院拍卖的原因和意义，为第三部分。所以文章的结构为①—②③—④⑤。故选A。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“All we get is to have the stuff for a period of time. Then it is time to let it go and pass it on.”可知，我们需要放手，把东西传下去。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题，每题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 At times, it can be hard for you to believe in yourself.

B “I’m building a fence (栅栏)!” my dad said angrily as he walked into the kitchen. “What’s going on?” I asked. “That man next door,” my father said. “His rabbits got into my garden last night. I’m going to build a fence. Will you help me, Beth?” I liked helping him, but I didn’t think building a fence was a good idea. So I asked, “Why not talk to Mr. Wilkin about this?” “It’s easier said than done. He hasn’t spoken to us since we moved in. A fence is the best solution,” my father said and walked to the garden. But I didn’t follow him. I went to the front yard instead. There, I saw Mr. Wilkin sitting outside with a white rabbit on his leg. I walked over. “Hello, I’m Beth. I live next door,” I said. “Oh, yes. Welcome and come to meet Blinky. Would you like to hold her?” Mr. Wilkin offered. “Sure.” I took the rabbit and held her in my arms. “It seems that your father is starting a new project…” Mr. Wilkin said. “Yes. He’s building a fence because your rabbits keep getting into his garden,” I replied. “I’m sorry about that. I try to keep them in at night. But the rabbits want to get out. You see, there’s something wrong with my legs. I can’t run after them,” Mr. Wilkin said. “I don’t want my dad to build the fence,” I said. “It’s like building a wall to separate (分离) us.” Suddenly, I had an idea—We could build a rabbit hutch (笼) between the yards. To my surprise, both Mr. Wilkin and Dad agreed. Thanks to the hutch, it not only kept our yard safe but also helped us build a strong friendship with the Wilkins. 21. What made Beth’s father angry? A Beth didn’t listen to him. B. He found it hard to speak to Mr. Wilkin. C. Mr. Wilkin didn’t want to build a fence. D. The rabbits kept running into his garden. 22. What does the underlined word “project” in Paragraph 9 refer to? A. Building a fence. B. Building a wall. C. Building a garden. D. Building a rabbit hutch. 23. What can we know about Mr. Wilkin from the passage? A. He agreed to build a fence. B. He kept many pets at home. C. He felt sorry for his rabbits. D. He prepared many hutches for his rabbits. 24. What does the passage mainly want to tell us? A. We should both help each other. B. Children are more polite than adults sometimes. C. Beth’s father found some new ways to keep away from the rabbits. D. The best way to solve a problem is to understand and communicate. 25. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Our Lovely Rabbit B. From Fence to Friendship C. It’s Easier Said Than Done D. Beth’s Backyard Adventures C ① Have you bought any second-hand things? Have you sold anything of yours to others? Any stories behind it? ② Once we had a comfortable, beautiful summer day outside after a whole week of rain. My family and I were driving to a nearby town when my daughter found a yard sale. We saw old toys and a couple of guitars. We saw huge piles of clothes and even a piece of furniture (家具) or two for sale. Best of all, we saw lots of smiling people talking, laughing, sitting and standing in the sunshine. ③ Seeing all of this brought back memories of my childhood. Most of my clothes back then came from yard sales. My mom was a talented yard sale shopper. I used to hate going to them until one special day when I saw that they also sold old books there. After that, I always read through the books until it was time to go and sometimes my mom would buy me one too. Soon a large part of my home library came from yard sale books. To me, they were more priceless than new ones. ④ Why do we have yard sales? We get rid of (除去) our old things and we buy “new” old things. But it certainly isn’t for the money. It’s that yard sales bring us together. We talk and catch up with old friends and new neighbors. We connect (连接) with kindness and our love for all the old stuff (物品). ⑤ I think yard sales teach us something about life too. We can’t really own anything here, after all. All we get is to have the stuff for a period of time. Then it is time to let it go and pass it on. 26. What made the writer start enjoying yard sales? A. She saw smiling people. B. She found old books there. C. Her mom liked yard sales. D. Her mom developed her talents there. 27. Why did the writer use quotation marks (引号) for “new” in Paragraph 4? A. To show that the stuff was not new in fact. B. To tell that the stuff was important or special. C. To bring out the excitement of finding special stuff. D. To make the word stand out and draw attention (注意). 28. According to the writer, what is the main reason why people have yard sales? A. To make money. B. To get rid of old things. C. To find valuable stuff. D. To connect with others. 29. What’s the structure (结构) of the passage? A. B. C. D. 30. What lesson does the writer tell us about belongings (所有物)? A. We can own things forever. B. We must keep everything we buy. C. We need to let go and pass things on. D. We should forget the past and face forward. 第二节 (共5小题，每题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 At times, it can be hard for you to believe in yourself.

He started in Hangzhou and then slowly traveled up north toward Yangzhou. He was taking in the beautiful views (风景) of the canal when Sight Pro suddenly said, “Fun time is over. Here comes the hard part. You need to answer three questions.” Then a question appeared before his eyes: “What is the total length (总长度) of the Grand Canal?” “More than 1,000 kilometers,” Dongdong answered. “Wrong answer. It is more than 2,000 kilometers. It’s the longest man-made waterway in the world.” The next question: “When did the building of the canal begin?” “In the 7th century?” Dongdong said. “Wrong answer.
