If you do that one more time, I’m going to throw you out of this boat,” warned Cameron angrily. “Yeah, right,” said Henry and half-heartedly rowed the boat up the river. Henry and Cameron were chosen to be partners, but they certainly weren’t friends. Cameron looked down on Henry and spent his time at summer camp keeping away from him. Henry never followed the rules, and that drove Cameron crazy. Cameron hated the fact that the boat ride was at least 5 miles long. Just then Cameron felt some small drops of water again on his neck. “Henry!” shouted Cameron loudly. “I said to leave me alone.” “I’m not doing anything!” answered Henry coolly. “If you look up, you will see that Mother Nature is touching you with water.” Sure enough, when Cameron looked up, he could see light rain coming down. Things got quiet in the boat after that. Before long, the small drops turned into large ones, and thunder and lightning began racing across the sky. Cameron didn’t know what to do. All he remembered was hearing stories about never to be on the water during a lightning storm. There was nothing in sight. Where could they get shelter? At that moment, Henry took over. He guided Cameron to control the boat towards some small wooden houses up ahead. By the time they reached the houses, they were all wet. Lightning continued to flash and they took shelter in the house. 1．According to the story, Cameron and Henry _________. A．both enjoyed the boat ride B．worked together to solve a problem C．were friends with each other D．knew each other for a long time 2．Why didn’t Cameron like Henry?

A．get some food to eat B．get a place to stay safe C．get someone’s help D．get some water to drink 4．According to the passage, which is the right order? a. Cameron and Henry were safe in a house. b.

It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side. We were both in great anger. “Jack! Never set foot in this house again!” shouted Father. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. The street lights were shining, causing my feeling of sadness. I walked about, knowing nowhere to go. A young father who held a child in his arm walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree (无忧无虑). But now…I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We are just like two persons coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened. I walked in the streets. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. I walked on. There were fewer and fewer people on the streets. When I finally reached the apartment block in which I lived, I saw that light was still on. I thought to myself, “Is father waiting for me or is he still angry with me?” In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. All the lights were off except Father’s. Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any moments of regret (后悔). However, after an argument he has the habit of tucking (给……盖被子) me in while I am sleeping. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature. The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that iron door that I have imagined between us did not exist at all. Love—it is second to none. 1．Jack felt ________while walking alone on the streets. A．lonely and sad B．nervous and bored C．worried and tired D．afraid and weak 2．The underlined sentence shows that ________. A．it’s Father’s way to express his regret and love B．Father felt worried about his son C．Father couldn’t fall asleep after the argument D．Father didn’t care what his son thought 3．Which of the following is the right order? a. I opened the door and went into the house. b. Sadly I ran out into the street. c. I reached the place where I lived and saw the light was still on. d. I walked about in the streets without any aim. A．bcda B．bdca C．bacd D．bcad 4．From the passage we can learn that ________. A．Father didn’t agree with Jack’s stamp collection B．the story happened on a very cold evening C．Father is actually kind to his son in his heart D．Jack had a failed and unhappy childhood 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者和父亲争吵之后跑出了家，但是作者回到家发现父亲还在开着灯等自己，这让作者意识到父亲在内心是爱自己的。 1．细节理解题。根据“The street lights were shining, causing my feeling of sadness. I walked about, knowing nowhere to go.”以及“There were fewer and fewer people on the streets.”可知他独自走在街上时，他感到孤独和伤心。故选A。 2．词义猜测题。根据“After shouting at me, he never showed any moments of regret (后悔). However, after an argument he has the habit of tucking (给……盖被子) me in while I am sleeping. ”可知在对我大喊大叫之后，他从未表现出任何后悔的时刻，然而，在争吵之后，他有在我睡觉的时候给我盖被子的习惯，这就是父亲对儿子表示懊悔和爱的方式。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.”以及“The street lights were shining, causing my feeling of sadness. I walked about, knowing nowhere to go.”可知他伤心地跑到了街上，四处走动，不知该何去何从，故bd排前两位，排除ACD。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“After shouting at me, he never showed any moments of regret (后悔). However, after an argument he has the habit of tucking (给……盖被子) me in while I am sleeping. ”以及“The light was still on”可知虽然作者和父亲发生争吵，父亲毫无悔意，但是当作者睡着时，父亲回给他盖被子，当作者冲动地离开家，父亲还是会留着灯等作者回来，由此可见，在父亲的内心里，他对儿子还是很仁慈的。故选C。 主题02 人与社会——发明与创造 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·广西南宁·期中）①Aarrav Anil, a 13-year-old boy, has had a deep interest in mechanics (机械学) since childhood.

As I heard about the pricey robotic arms of these machines, I was filled with something like sadness. Our children and grandchildren, I’m afraid, will not be able to understand how our food is grown. Nor will they be able to experience the fun of fruit-picking. I once spent a few weeks on a farm in New Zealand. There, I met about 50 apple-pickers from Vanuatu. At night, we listened to pop music and washed our clothes as they told me about their experiences of picking pineapples and peaches. Life on the farm was hard. The rooms were small and dark. There was nothing in them but a kettle (水壶) and a shower. However, the trip left me with many good memories. When my son was little, I used to cycle him half an hour out of town to a farm every few weeks. There, we could pick strawberries. He loved it. He was excited about the smell of the plants, the feel of the soil (土壤) and the art of guessing which piece of fruit had the potential to be the most delicious. And he saw where our fruit came from. I wanted him to understand the effort and energy (努力和精力) during the process of producing food. Doorstep deliveries and washed and sliced (切好的) salad vegetables have already started to destroy (毁坏) our understanding of how our food is grown and what it looks like. Robotic fruit-pickers, I fear, will be just another step in this direction. I’m afraid that we are making the whole act of eating a hands-off experience. Where is, then, the fun of it? 1．How did the writer feel about the report in Paragraph 1? A．She was filled with something like happiness. B．She was filled with something like anger. C．She was filled with something like sadness. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Picking strawberries. B．Smelling the plants.

He loved it.”可知，我们可以摘草莓。他喜欢它。故划线单词“it”指代“采摘草莓”。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“I wanted him to understand the effort and energy (努力和精力) during the process of producing food.”可知，作者希望她的儿子能够理解生产食物过程中所付出的努力和精力。故选A。 主题03 人与社会——著名人物 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·浙江绍兴·期中） 61-year-old American Brian Linden wears many hats: traveler, businessman, educator, writer, and founder of the Linden Center hotel.

His latest post, which includes nine photos of him at the airport leaving Japan, got over 30.000 likes. However, a recent BBC report said that for Chinese fans, any athlete who doesn’t win a gold medal is considered as unpatriotic (不爱国的).

I did not win a medal and have had nothing but support from Chinese fans on social media.” Hua said. As another example, Chinese taekwondo (跆拳道) star Zhao Shuai, one of China’s flag-bearers at the opening ceremony of the Olympics, failed to defend (保卫)his title and got a bronze medal (铜牌) in Tokyo.

You used to do that every afternoon. You want to play!” But Leo was at college, and his mom couldn’t come home early every day. “Poor Lucky,” I said. Maybe they could hire (雇佣) someone, I thought. Then I remembered that college is expensive. Maybe there was another way. Walking toward their house, I remembered Leo teaching me how to throw a baseball.

You were barking your head off half the afternoon.’ Ms. Smith raised her eyebrows (眉毛). ‘Really? I hope Lucky didn’t trouble you.’ I shook my head. ‘No, I just noticed it because he usually doesn’t bark much.’”可知，Lucky整个下午都在狂叫，史密斯太太表示希望Lucky没有打扰到作者，作者表示并没有被打扰，他也是刚刚才注意到这个事情。由此可知，it指“Lucky整个下午都在狂叫”这件事。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“I’ll have the TV on tomorrow, which should help.”可知，在带Lucky看过动物医生后，史密斯太太为了Lucky一直开着电视。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“She came and took Lucky to the animal doctor...Ms. Smith’s son, Leo, had started college in September.”和第四段“After calling Ms. Smith, I look Lucky for a walk. We walked around the park three times before the dog calmed down...Suddenly, what I needed to do to help was clear.”可知，事件发生的正确顺序是②①④③。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段“‘You’re used to chasing (追赶) that ball, aren’t you? You used to do that every afternoon. You want to play!’...I remembered Leo teaching me how to throw a baseball. Suddenly, what I needed to do to help was clear.”可知，作者意识到Lucky想要玩球，并记得利奥教他如何扔棒球，突然间，作者知道了需要做什么来帮助Lucky了；再结合第四段“And he brings it back”可推知，空处应表示作者陪Lucky玩球。选项B“我花时间把球扔给Lucky。”符合语境，故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）Oh no, Jon had done it again.

Everyone was in pajamas except Jon. His uncle asked the family to come together for a photo. Jon felt terrible. “Just a minute,” Jon’s mother said. “Before we take the Christmas photo, I have a special gift for Jon. Open this, honey.” Jon looked at his mother curiously.

It was shocking to me that he was described as an angry, uncontrollable and evil (惹人厌的) boy. How could such a little boy, after being in school only one year, be considered “evil”? Over the next several months, I came to know Chip well enough to see that he was neither evil nor uncontrollable. But, one day, Chip threw a chair at his teacher and was sent to my office. I asked him what made him do this. He replied that his teacher hated him. He felt there was no way to ever get her to like him. I asked him if he would tell his teacher this. He nodded, and we called her into my office. When the teacher came, I encouraged Chip to express his feelings. He then said that he knew he was a very, very bad boy, and he didn’t think anyone could ever like him. His teacher listened to him with heartfelt compassion. Then she gave him a big warm hug, telling him she didn’t hate him at all and, actually, she cared very much about him. Only sometimes Chip’s behavior really scared her. It was clear to both Chip and me that she really meant it. I put my left arm on his shoulders and the right hand on his heart. I told him how wonderful and lovely I saw him to be. I praised how special and brave he was to express his hurt feelings. As I was speaking to him, his whole body came to rest on my right hand next to his heart. It was a moment in time unlike anything I had experienced before. From then on, I’m pleased to see his behavior improved through the rest of school years. A child’s mind is clear and sensitive.

Knock it off! If you do that one more time, I’m going to throw you out of this boat,” warned Cameron angrily. “Yeah, right,” said Henry and half-heartedly rowed the boat up the river. Henry and Cameron were chosen to be partners, but they certainly weren’t friends. Cameron looked down on Henry and spent his time at summer camp keeping away from him. Henry never followed the rules, and that drove Cameron crazy. Cameron hated the fact that the boat ride was at least 5 miles long. Just then Cameron felt some small drops of water again on his neck. “Henry!” shouted Cameron loudly. “I said to leave me alone.” “I’m not doing anything!” answered Henry coolly. “If you look up, you will see that Mother Nature is touching you with water.” Sure enough, when Cameron looked up, he could see light rain coming down. Things got quiet in the boat after that. Before long, the small drops turned into large ones, and thunder and lightning began racing across the sky. Cameron didn’t know what to do. All he remembered was hearing stories about never to be on the water during a lightning storm. There was nothing in sight. Where could they get shelter? At that moment, Henry took over. He guided Cameron to control the boat towards some small wooden houses up ahead. By the time they reached the houses, they were all wet.

Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·浙江宁波·期中）“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side. We were both in great anger. “Jack! Never set foot in this house again!” shouted Father. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. The street lights were shining, causing my feeling of sadness. I walked about, knowing nowhere to go. A young father who held a child in his arm walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree (无忧无虑). But now…I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We are just like two persons coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened. I walked in the streets. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. I walked on. There were fewer and fewer people on the streets. When I finally reached the apartment block in which I lived, I saw that light was still on. I thought to myself, “Is father waiting for me or is he still angry with me?” In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. All the lights were off except Father’s. Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any moments of regret (后悔). However, after an argument he has the habit of tucking (给……盖被子) me in while I am sleeping. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature. The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that iron door that I have imagined between us did not exist at all. Love—it is second to none. 1．Jack felt ________while walking alone on the streets.

As I heard about the pricey robotic arms of these machines, I was filled with something like sadness. Our children and grandchildren, I’m afraid, will not be able to understand how our food is grown. Nor will they be able to experience the fun of fruit-picking. I once spent a few weeks on a farm in New Zealand. There, I met about 50 apple-pickers from Vanuatu. At night, we listened to pop music and washed our clothes as they told me about their experiences of picking pineapples and peaches. Life on the farm was hard. The rooms were small and dark. There was nothing in them but a kettle (水壶) and a shower. However, the trip left me with many good memories. When my son was little, I used to cycle him half an hour out of town to a farm every few weeks. There, we could pick strawberries. He loved it. He was excited about the smell of the plants, the feel of the soil (土壤) and the art of guessing which piece of fruit had the potential to be the most delicious. And he saw where our fruit came from. I wanted him to understand the effort and energy (努力和精力) during the process of producing food. Doorstep deliveries and washed and sliced (切好的) salad vegetables have already started to destroy (毁坏) our understanding of how our food is grown and what it looks like. Robotic fruit-pickers, I fear, will be just another step in this direction. I’m afraid that we are making the whole act of eating a hands-off experience. Where is, then, the fun of it? 1．How did the writer feel about the report in Paragraph 1? A．She was filled with something like happiness. B．She was filled with something like anger. C．She was filled with something like sadness. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Picking strawberries. B．Smelling the plants. C．Feeling the soil. 3．The writer wanted her son to ________ on the farm. A．understand the effort and energy of production B．see where the fruit comes from C．pick strawberries 主题03 人与社会——著名人物 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·浙江绍兴·期中） 61-year-old American Brian Linden wears many hats: traveler, businessman, educator, writer, and founder of the Linden Center hotel.

I touched Lucky gently. “You OK, Lucky? You were barking your head off half the afternoon.” Ms. Smith raised her eyebrows (眉毛). “Really?

It was shocking to me that he was described as an angry, uncontrollable and evil (惹人厌的) boy. How could such a little boy, after being in school only one year, be considered “evil”? Over the next several months, I came to know Chip well enough to see that he was neither evil nor uncontrollable. But, one day, Chip threw a chair at his teacher and was sent to my office. I asked him what made him do this. He replied that his teacher hated him. He felt there was no way to ever get her to like him. I asked him if he would tell his teacher this. He nodded, and we called her into my office. When the teacher came, I encouraged Chip to express his feelings. He then said that he knew he was a very, very bad boy, and he didn’t think anyone could ever like him. His teacher listened to him with heartfelt compassion. Then she gave him a big warm hug, telling him she didn’t hate him at all and, actually, she cared very much about him. Only sometimes Chip’s behavior really scared her. It was clear to both Chip and me that she really meant it. I put my left arm on his shoulders and the right hand on his heart. I told him how wonderful and lovely I saw him to be. I praised how special and brave he was to express his hurt feelings. As I was speaking to him, his whole body came to rest on my right hand next to his heart. It was a moment in time unlike anything I had experienced before. From then on, I’m pleased to see his behavior improved through the rest of school years. A child’s mind is clear and sensitive.

Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert.

Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapour (蒸气) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapour, your nature (本性) never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze.
