Everyone has their own favorite place, and I also want to find mine. Last month I went to a beautiful mountain with great expectation. Along the way, I was so excited that I couldn’t wait to watch the fantastic view (风景). However, when I arrived there, I found there were so many people and the noisy sounds made me very sad. I expected to feel the beauty of nature in a quiet place, but now it was much too noisy. But I didn’t give up and went on climbing the mountain. As I walked on, there were fewer people and the view became more and more beautiful. When I reached another place called Mount Greenview, I saw a place full of green plants and colorful flowers. The sense of peace was growing up from the bottom of my heart at that moment. Then I started climbing. I couldn’t wait to see more. The view from the top made me feel like I was in Alice’s Wonderland. After enjoying the view for a while, I decided to go on my journey and headed for a quiet lake. Along the way, I was so happy that I even sang a song. The water there was so clear that I could even see the beautiful stones in the lake. Ducks swam slowly and quietly. I rested on the grass and enjoyed the nice moment. This trip shows me that we can find beautiful things in places we don’t think of. Sometimes, looking for a great place is as good as getting to that place. So stop waiting and get moving to enjoy the beautiful view as soon as possible. 4. Which was the first place the writer visited? A. A place filled with noisy people. B. Mount Greenview. C. The top of the mountain. D. A quiet lake. 5.

People can find beautiful things in unexpected places. D. Getting to a great place is more important than looking for it. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者上个月去一座美丽的山探险的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, when I arrived there, I found there were so many people and the noisy sounds made me very sad.”可知，作者到达的第一个地方是挤满了嘈杂人群的地方，故选A。 【5题详解】 句意理解题。根据画线句上文“When I reached another place called Mount Greenview, I saw a place full of green plants and colorful flowers. The sense of peace was growing up from the bottom of my heart at that moment.”可知，当作者到达一个叫Greenview山的地方时，他看到了一个充满绿色植物和五彩斑斓的花朵的地方，那时，他内心深处的宁静感油然而生。再根据画线句“Then I started climbing. I couldn’t wait to see more. The view from the top made me feel like I was in Alice’s Wonderland.”可知，然后作者开始爬山，迫不及待地想看更多。山顶的景色让作者感觉自己仿佛置身于爱丽丝的仙境。由此可知，画线句意思是“景色如此迷人，作者感觉它就像一场梦”。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I was so excited that I couldn’t wait to watch the fantastic view. However, when I arrived there, I found there were so many people and the noisy sounds made me very sad.”可知，作者一开始很兴奋，但到达后发现人太多而很伤心；根据第三段中“The sense of peace was growing up from the bottom of my heart at that moment. Then I started climbing, I couldn't wait to see more.”可知，景色越来越美，作者内心开始平静，然后迫不及待想要看到更多；根据第四段中“After enjoying the view for a while, I decided to go on my journey and headed for a quiet lake. Along the way, I was so happy that I even sang a song.”可知，作者欣赏完景色后，前往安静的湖，一路上很开心，甚至唱起了歌。C选项中，从兴奋，到伤心，再到很开心，很符合作者情感的变化。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“This trip shows me that we can find beautiful things in places we don’t think of.”可知，这次旅行告诉作者，我们可以在我们想不到的地方发现美好的事物。由此可知，我们可以从作者的旅行中学到“人们可以在意想不到的地方发现美好的事物”。故选C。 C If you are a student who enjoys playing video games, will it be likely that you have had at least one argument with your parents about the impacts (影响)of gaming? Your parents might say that video games are bad for you because they can worsen your eyes, lower your school performance and can lead to some health problems. You probably argue that video games allow you to socialize with your friends, improve your memory and so on. One study of Honor of Kings showed that 90 percent of the parents said their kids didn’t like talking and got angry easily because of the game. On the other hand, a study made by Cheryl Olson, writer of the book Grand Theft Childhood, interviewed 1,000 public school students and found that video games can help kids develop problem-solving skills and inspire creativity. What’s more, ____▲____because some games teach things like history, geography or culture. So should students play video games or not? I think students and parents can both win this argument. Most of the bad impacts of video games happen when students play for too long, so play them in moderation (适度). Here’s how to do that. First, take a rest from your gaming to help around the house or get some fresh air. Second, try to find video games that are both fun and educational. Third, there are also many games that get you up out of your seat. Play games like Fruit Slasher to improve your health. Finally, find some games that you can play with your parents, and you just might find they may have more fun than you! What do you think? Is the good enough to outweigh the bad things? 8. Why is the study of Honor of Kings mentioned? A. To show some parents are angry. B. To show Honor of Kings is popular. C. To show students love gaming a lot. D. To show gaming brings some bad things. 9. Which of the following sentences can be best put in ________?

Here is my trip! DAY 1 July 17, 2024 Let’s go! The Terracotta Army is a must-see for everyone. It is known as “the eighth wonder of the world”. Huaqing Palace is famous for its hot spring. Here I visited Furong Garden, a traditional Chinese garden. It was really beautiful with colorful lights at night. DAY 2 To know a city well, you must go to its history museum. In Shaanxi History Museum, I got a deeper understanding of the past of this city. DAY 3 A Xi’an tour is not complete without climbing Mount Hua. Challenging to climb the mountain was the most exciting thing I did during this trip! DAY 4 Go home! There is one more thing I have to mention—Xi’an is really a city full of delicious food! There I tasted biangbiang noodles, yangrou paomo, roujiamo, cold noodles, and so on. For me, yangrou paomo is the most delicious. 1. When did the writer go to Shaanxi History Museum? A. On Monday, July 17. B. On Tuesday, July 18. C. On Wednesday, July 19. D. On Thursday, July 20. 2. Which of the following is TRUE about the writer’s trip? A. He knew the past of Xi’an well when visiting the Terracotta Army. B. He visited Furong Garden on the early morning of Day 2. C. He found it really exciting to climb Mount Hua on the third day. D. He regarded roujiamo as the most delicious food in Xi’an. 3. Who will most probably be interested in this text? A. Travel lovers. B. Technology fans. C. History experts. D. Food researchers. B Standing at the foot of the big mountains, I know that real adventure (冒险) often starts with beautiful things in the nature (自然). Everyone has their own favorite place, and I also want to find mine. Last month I went to a beautiful mountain with great expectation. Along the way, I was so excited that I couldn’t wait to watch the fantastic view (风景). However, when I arrived there, I found there were so many people and the noisy sounds made me very sad. I expected to feel the beauty of nature in a quiet place, but now it was much too noisy. But I didn’t give up and went on climbing the mountain. As I walked on, there were fewer people and the view became more and more beautiful. When I reached another place called Mount Greenview, I saw a place full of green plants and colorful flowers. The sense of peace was growing up from the bottom of my heart at that moment. Then I started climbing. I couldn’t wait to see more. The view from the top made me feel like I was in Alice’s Wonderland. After enjoying the view for a while, I decided to go on my journey and headed for a quiet lake. Along the way, I was so happy that I even sang a song. The water there was so clear that I could even see the beautiful stones in the lake. Ducks swam slowly and quietly. I rested on the grass and enjoyed the nice moment. This trip shows me that we can find beautiful things in places we don’t think of. Sometimes, looking for a great place is as good as getting to that place. So stop waiting and get moving to enjoy the beautiful view as soon as possible. 4. Which was the first place the writer visited? A. A place filled with noisy people. B. Mount Greenview. C. The top of the mountain. D. A quiet lake. 5. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean? A. The view was so peaceful that the writer wanted to sleep. B The view was so amazing that the writer felt it like a dream. C The view was so common that the writer felt nothing special. D. The view was so terrible that the writer wanted to leave. 6. Which shows the changes of the writer’s feelings best in the passage? A. B. C. D. 7. What can we learn from the writer’s trip? A. Mountains are always the best place to find beautiful things. B. Singing songs can make the journey more enjoyable. C. People can find beautiful things in unexpected places. D. Getting to a great place is more important than looking for it. C If you are a student who enjoys playing video games, will it be likely that you have had at least one argument with your parents about the impacts (影响)of gaming? Your parents might say that video games are bad for you because they can worsen your eyes, lower your school performance and can lead to some health problems. You probably argue that video games allow you to socialize with your friends, improve your memory and so on. One study of Honor of Kings showed that 90 percent of the parents said their kids didn’t like talking and got angry easily because of the game. On the other hand, a study made by Cheryl Olson, writer of the book Grand Theft Childhood, interviewed 1,000 public school students and found that video games can help kids develop problem-solving skills and inspire creativity. What’s more, ____▲____because some games teach things like history, geography or culture. So should students play video games or not? I think students and parents can both win this argument. Most of the bad impacts of video games happen when students play for too long, so play them in moderation (适度). Here’s how to do that. First, take a rest from your gaming to help around the house or get some fresh air. Second, try to find video games that are both fun and educational. Third, there are also many games that get you up out of your seat. Play games like Fruit Slasher to improve your health. Finally, find some games that you can play with your parents, and you just might find they may have more fun than you! What do you think? Is the good enough to outweigh the bad things? 8. Why is the study of Honor of Kings mentioned? A. To show some parents are angry. B. To show Honor of Kings is popular. C. To show students love gaming a lot. D. To show gaming brings some bad things. 9. Which of the following sentences can be best put in ________? A. they can be highly relaxing B. they can be highly educational C. they can help you communicate D. they can help you solve problems 10. Which sentence shows the writer’s opinion on gaming? A. The writer thinks students should spend proper time on gaming. B. The writer thinks parents should stop their children from gaming. C. The writer thinks students should do housework instead of gaming. D. The writer thinks parents should learn to have fun by playing games 11. What advice is mentioned on gaming in Paragraph 4? a. Find some smart video games to play. b. Finish homework before gaming. c. Choose games that can help move your body. d. Invite your parents to play games together. A. abc B. abd C. acd D. bcd D In 1991, Liu Lingli finished her study at Nanjing Special Education Normal School. After that, she began to teach the students who were hard of hearing. In order to help them make a sound, she let students put their hands on her mouth and neck to feel the vibrations (震动). In 2005, it was the hardest year for Liu Lingli. At the age of 32, she had her own child. However, the child was hard of hearing. Other teachers advised her to take her child to a big hospital far away, but she didn’t want to give up her students.

Up to now, she has taught in the special school for thirty-four years. As a result, she changed many students’ lives.
