I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day. I believed that I was right and he was wrong, and Tony believed that I was wrong and he was right. Our teacher, a kind and smart lady, decided to teach us a lesson. She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large and round object. I could clearly see that it was black. The teacher asked us what color the object was. “White,” Tony answered. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! “Clearly, it was black!” Another argument started between Tony and me, this time about the color of the object. The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to go and stand where I was standing. We changed places, and now she asked me what color the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was an object with two differently colored sides — from his side it was white, while from my side it was black. “Boys, now, what do you say?” The teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since. My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: When you disagree with others, you’d better be in their shoes. That will help you look at the situation through their eyes, and truly understand their ideas and ways of thinking. 58. What did the teacher do at first? A. She shouted at the boys. B. She called the boys’ parents. C. She brought the boys to her desk. D. She asked the two boys to apologize each other. 59. How did the writer feel when Tony answered “white” in Paragraph 2? A. Surprised. B. Pleased. C. Afraid. D. Scared. 60. Why did the writer give two different answers? A Because he was unfriendly to Tony. B. Because he changed his place with Tony. C. Because he wanted to have another argument. D. Because he changed his mind in the end. 61. What would the writer probably do after this lesson? A. He would forget the arguments. B. He might shake hands with Tony. C. He would sit in the front of the class. D. He might refuse to talk with Tony. 62. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Great minds think the same B. Many hands make light work C. Look at things in another way D. Arguments make achievements 【答案】58. C 59. A 60. B 61. B 62. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在8年级时跟同学产生了一次激烈的争吵，老师让作者和另外一位同学明白，要学会站在对方的角度去考虑问题。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据“She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other”可知，老师先把这两位男孩带到桌子前，故选C。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据“ ‘White,’ Tony answered. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! ‘Clearly, it was black!’”可知，作者看到的是黑色，而Tony回答是白色，所以Tony的回答让作者感到惊讶，故选A。 【60题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It was an object with two differently colored sides—from his side it was white, while from my side it was black”可知，因为作者再次站在不同的方向时，看到这个物体是另一个颜色，所以给出了两个不同的答案，故选B。 【61题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since”可知，自从那以后作者和Tony成为了好朋友，由此可推断经过这个事情他们会握手言和，故选B。 【62题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“When you disagree with others, you’d better be in their shoes”可知，本文通过作者的经历告诉我们要站在别人的角度考虑问题，所以C选项“学会从另一个角度看问题”符合本文标题，故选C。 C Do you know the story of The Old Man Tried to Move the Mountain in Chinese culture? Do you believe in Yugong’s spirit? In India, there was an old man who really tried to move the mountain. Dashrath Manjhi was born into a poor family in Gehlaur village, India in 1934. One terrible day in 1959, his wife Falguni Devi, fell from the village mountain and was badly hurt. The nearest town with a doctor was close but a mountain stood in the way. The path around the mountain made the journey 90 kilometers. Falguni died before they could see the doctor. Manjhi wanted to do something. He decided to cut a path through the mountain so that the village could reach medical care faster. He took a hammer (锤子) and chisel (凿子) and began hammering through the mountain. People thought he was mad but he continued. It took 22 years but Manjhi completed the road in 1982. It cut the distance between the village and the neighboring town from 55 to 15 km. For his work, Manjhi became known as the Mountain Man. After his death in 2007 at the age of 73, an official road was built through the mountain. Manjhi was given a state funeral (葬礼) and his face was put on a stamp in 2016. He has had films and documentaries made about him. He used his terrible personal tragedy to do something that would hopefully stop others from experiencing such tragedy in their own lives. 63. What made Dashrath Manjhi want to cut a path through the mountain? A. His hope for working in the town. B. His work experience in the coal mine. C. His wife’s death from lack of medical care. D. His interest in becoming a famous man. 64. How far away is the village from the neighboring town by Manjhi’s path? A. 90 meters. B. 55 kilometers. C. 40 kilometers. D. 15 kilometers. 65.

Dashrath Manjhi was interested in Chinese culture and he wanted to learn from Yugong. D. Dashrath Manjhi and Yugong have something in common: They didn’t fear in the face of difficulties. 【答案】63. C 64. D 65. B 66. A 67. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了被称为印度 “山之人” 的Dashrath Manjhi开凿大山修建道路的故事。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Falguni died before they could see the doctor. Manjhi wanted to do something. He decided to cut a path through the mountain so that the village could reach medical care faster.”可知，他妻子因缺乏医疗治疗而死亡，这使得他决定开凿一条穿过山的小路。故选C。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It cut the distance between the village and the neighboring town from 55 to 15 km.”可知，由于Manjhi的小路，从邻镇到这个村庄的距离是15公里。故选D。 【65题详解】 细节理解题。根据“After his death in 2007 at the age of 73, an official road was built through the mountain.”可知，在Dashrath Manjhis去世后，在他的小路基础上修建了一条官方道路。故选B。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Manjhi was given a state funeral (葬礼) and his face was put on a stamp in 2016.”可知，由于Manjhi的贡献，他被举行了国葬，并且他的脸被印在邮票上。即a、b项表述符合。故选A。 【67题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Do you know the story of The Old Man Tried to Move the Mountain in Chinese culture? Do you believe in Yugong’s spirit? In India, there was an old man who really tried to move the mountain..”及全文可知，文章通过讲述Dashrath Manjhi在山上开凿道路的故事，告诉我们Dashrath Manjhi和愚公有一个共同点：他们在困难面前不害怕。故选D。 D ①The weather is cold, but people’s hearts are not. Heilongjiang became a popular travel place last winter. The 25th Harbin Ice and Snow World continued to catch many tourists’ attention in February, 2024. ②The amusement park covers an area of 810,000 square meters. Visitors mostly came to enjoy the beauty when it got dark. They could enjoy more than 1, 000 works of art, all made of ice and snow. But the Harbin Ice and Snow World was not the only place to go. There were many other good choices, too. Tourists could also enjoy having barbecues (烧烤) in Qiqihar and going to hot springs in Daqing. They could even watch the sun rise in Fuyuan, China’s easternmost city. ③The Harbin subway was running longer hours to meet people’s needs. Passengers could use free tickets to travel between the stations of the Sun Island and the Ice and Snow World. So it was easier for them to go to the two main events taking place there. ④Heilongjiang also wrote a thank-you letter to all the tourists. It thanked them for visiting and taking part in different activities. All the short videos and travel articles online, the letter pointed out, made Heilongjiang known to more people. The letter also invited visitors to share their feelings. Besides, the letter encouraged visitors to make suggestions. All this would make the province a better place as problems can be solved as soon as possible. Their likes and suggestions, the letter said, encouraged the province to do a better job. ⑤Even in a cold season like this. The enthusiasm (热情) of tourists could be felt all over the country. 68.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了黑龙江成为了今年冬天的热门旅游地，哈尔滨冰雪大世界吸引了许多游客以及黑龙江写了一封感谢信给所有的游客并介绍了感谢信的内容。 【68题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Visitors mostly came to enjoy the beauty when it got dark.”可知，游客们大多是在天黑时来欣赏冰雪大世界的美景，即哈尔滨冰雪大世界最吸引游客的是游乐园夜晚的美景。故选B。 【69题详解】 细节理解题。根据“There were many other good choices, too. Tourists could also enjoy having barbecues (烧烤) in Qiqihar and going to hot springs in Daqing.

So it was easier for them to go to the two main events taking place there.”可知，旅客可以使用免费车票往返于太阳岛和冰雪世界的车站之间，即去看在那里举行的两项主要活动对旅客们来说是更容易的，可推测them指“游客们”，即passengers“游客”。故选D。 【71题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It thanked them for visiting and taking part in different activities. All the short videos and travel articles online, the letter pointed out, made Heilongjiang known to more people. The letter also invited visitors to share their feelings.

I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day. I believed that I was right and he was wrong, and Tony believed that I was wrong and he was right. Our teacher, a kind and smart lady, decided to teach us a lesson. She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large and round object. I could clearly see that it was black. The teacher asked us what color the object was. “White,” Tony answered. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! “Clearly, it was black!” Another argument started between Tony and me, this time about the color of the object. The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to go and stand where I was standing. We changed places, and now she asked me what color the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was an object with two differently colored sides — from his side it was white, while from my side it was black. “Boys, now, what do you say?” The teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since. My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: When you disagree with others, you’d better be in their shoes. That will help you look at the situation through their eyes, and truly understand their ideas and ways of thinking. 58. What did the teacher do at first? A. She shouted at the boys. B. She called the boys’ parents. C. She brought the boys to her desk. D. She asked the two boys to apologize each other. 59. How did the writer feel when Tony answered “white” in Paragraph 2? A. Surprised. B. Pleased. C. Afraid. D. Scared. 60. Why did the writer give two different answers? A. Because he was unfriendly to Tony. B. Because he changed his place with Tony. C.
