I’ve never hurt a ghost. I’ve always respected dead people. Go back to the river where you live.” “Jim, I am not dead,” I told him. He touched my arm. “You aren’t dead,” he said, happy to look at me. I was just as happy to see him. I looked down at his campfire. “Let’s make some breakfast.” After we ate, we lay back for a bit. Jim asked, “Huck, if you’re here now, then who was killed at that hut (小屋)?” I told him the whole story. “You’re pretty smart,” he said. “Even Tom Sawyer can’t come up with a better plan than that.” “And what about you, Jim? Why are you here on the island?” He looked uneasy. “Maybe I’d better not tell.” “Why not?” I asked. “You won’t tell on (告发) me, will you?” he asked. “I promise I won’t.” Jim moved closer to me. “I ran away.” “Jim!” “Huck, you said you wouldn’t tell.” “Yeah, I promised,” I said, “and I’ll keep it.” “The thing is,” he told me, “Miss Watson always said she’d never sell me, but the other night I heard her tell the widow (寡妇) that she would sell me for $800.” “That’s a lot of money,” I said. The widow told Miss Watson she couldn’t do it, but I didn’t wait to hear what Miss Watson said. I climbed down the hill, stole (偷) a boat, and here I am.” “Well, I’m glad you’re here,” I told him. We stayed by the campfire for a while. Jim looked at the sky. The birds gathered together, and then they flew away. “The storm’s coming,” Jim said. “It’s going to be worse.” I looked at our blankets, the only protection we had. “Come on, Huck. I’ll show you something.” Jim led me to a small cave (洞穴). We ate our dinner there. Pretty soon the storm came. It rained heavily, and the wind blew so hard that it would bend (折弯) those trees. We stayed there until the storm stopped. —Adapted from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 1．Why was Jim afraid when he saw Huck at the beginning? A．He didn’t know Huck at all.

Her coach, Jeff, had told her, “If you want to compete again, you’ll have to get back in the half-pipe.” Eva sighed. She hadn’t been in it since she’d fallen last winter. After breakfast, Dad took Eva to the mountain. When she got to the half-pipe, it was empty. Her eyes followed the smooth sides, and she blinked (眨眼), not wanting to remember But the memory pushed out along with her breath. Last winter, Eva had planned to do an “eggflip” (空翻), a special trick at the top of the pipe. As she’d started the flip (翻转), she’d misjudged the distance. Her shoulder and helmeted head had slammed into the icy packed snow before she started to fall downward. It seemed as if she’d rolled and bounced forever, her snowboard twisting hard against her knees the whole time. As Eva stood there remembering, the half-pipe blurred (变模糊) in front of her. She breathed in cold air heavily and backed away. “Where do you think you’re going?” Jeff said. “I can’t, Jef,” Eva shouted, feeling dizzy. “I thought I could, but I can’t.” She didn’t wait for a response and rode down the slope. Days went by. Ashamed, Eva didn’t return to the half-pipe, nor Jeff’s phone calls. The weekend of the competition, Eva stayed with her aunt, On Saturday morning they were busy painting, but when the clock struck 9:00 a. m. , Eva’s mind was elsewhere. She knew that the snowboarders were getting ready. Throughout the day, Eva kept glancing at her watch. Ten-thirty. Compulsory (规定动作) in the half-pipe competition. Noon. Break for lunch. One-thirty. Freestyle. Not until she knew it was all over could Eva relax. But her heart felt heavy as she went to bed that night. “How was your weekend?” Mom asked when she picked up Eva on Sunday. “Good,” said Eva, but she was thinking about the competition. “Jeff called,” Mom said, as if reading Eva’s mind. “I left the results by the phone.” Eva nodded, grateful that Mom didn’t say more. Eva brought the list to her room and closed the door. Her friend Sherry had come first in compulsory, second in freestyle. That could have been me, Eva thought. Tears filled her eyes. Why did she have to be afraid? So what if she’d fallen? That was how you learned. Eva threw the list across the room. The next afternoon, Eva went snowboarding. She was enjoying the smooth rhythm as she glided down the slopes. On one run, Eva stopped and looked across the mountain toward the trees that hid the half-pipe. The competition was over. The snow season was nearly over, She could try again next year. But I don ’t want to wait any longer, thought Eva. 1．What did Jeff tell Eva to do in order to compete again?

A moment later, they hear a dog crying in fear. A dog is shouting and jumping, followed by Hryukin, the local goldsmith. Hryukin catches the dog to stop it from running away. The dog is terrified, and Hryukin is angry about his bleeding finger. Soon, a crowd of villagers gathers around Hryukin and the dog. Hryukin tells Otchumyelov that he was minding his own business when, for no reason, the dog bit him. Hryukin shows his finger and is worried that he won’t be able to work because of his injury. “The dog’s owner should pay me!” Hryukin says. Otchumyelov agrees and adds that the dog must be put down as well. “Who owns this dog?” he asks the crowd, eager to find the culprit (罪犯). When someone answers that the owner is the powerful General Zhigalov, Otchumyelov becomes nervous and suddenly suggests a different possibility: This dog may actually be innocent (无罪的). “How could this tiny dog reach your finger if you were minding your own business?” Otchumyelov asks Hryukin. Someone in the crowd answers that he saw Hryukin anger the dog by sticking a cigarette in its face. Hryukin starts to negate this, but he’s interrupted by Yeldyrin. Yeldyrin says that the dog isn’t General Zhigalov’s. Very quickly, Otchumyelov agrees. He points out that the general would never bother with a dog like this one. But just as Otchumyelov decides they must kill the dog, Yeldyrin remembers seeing a similar dog on the general’s property. Depending on who he believes to be the dog’s owner, Otchumyelov has a different answer for whether the dog should live or die. Finally, the general’s cook arrives on the scene with the truth. The cook says that this dog isn’t General Zhigalov’s but instead belongs to the general’s brother, another powerful man. After hearing this, Otchumyelov quickly compliments the dog and laughs about the whole incident. As the cook leaves to return the dog to its owner, Otchumyelov threatens to hurt Hryukin for making a scene. The crowd laughs at the goldsmith and his injured finger. —Adapted from A Chameleon 1．When walking in the village square, Otchumyelov and Yeldyrin see ________.

Hryukin starts to negate this, but he’s interrupted by Yeldyrin.”可知，有人说是Hryukin激怒了这只狗，于是Hryukin加以否认；据此可以推断，划线单词“negate”意为“否认”，选项B“说某事不是真的”与之相符。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“Depending on who he believes to be the dog’s owner, Otchumyelov has a different answer for whether the dog should live or die.”可知，本文中警长根据狗的主人是谁来处理这个案件。故选D。 第四套 24-25九上·徐州市沛县第五中学·期中 An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window. The father asked his son, “What is that?” The son replied, “That is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It’s a crow.” After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is this?” This time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone, “It’s a crow, a crow.” After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?” This time his son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?” A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn’t at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son. If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud, “I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered me with love.

A．he forgot what had happened B．he would like his son to read it C．it could remind himself of the past D．he wanted to find what a crow was 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文通过一位父亲在38岁所写的日记来呼吁我们要善待自己的父母。 1．细节理解题。根据“If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them.”以及通读全文可知，作者主要是呼吁我们要善待父母。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据“I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn’t at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son.”可知，父亲在回答儿子重复多遍的问题的时候，不生气反而每次都充满爱地拥抱他的儿子，所以“affection”应该是指对儿子深厚的爱。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son.”及“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa”可知，父亲现年80岁，父亲在儿子3岁时写下日记，因此该日记应是在父亲38岁时写的。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.”可知，父亲拿出日记是想让儿子去读从而理解他的用意。故选B。 第五套 24-25九上·徐州市沛县第五中学·期中 At a community store in Hangzhou, items like beans, salt, and sugar are stored in large jars (罐子) and vegetables are placed in bamboo baskets, all without plastic packaging (外包装). Customers (顾客) bring their own cloth bags or bottles to take what they want to buy. Qiu Li opened the store with the hope of sharing the message that over-packaging and single-use plastics are harmful to the environment. The store’s sales were low in the beginning. “The items are priced a little higher because they are organic (有机的),” Qiu explained. What’s more, the new shopping method raised many questions. “Some customers point to a jar and ask if there are smaller packages,” she said. Qiu always explains to each customer that they can use their own cloth bags to take as much or as little as they want. She also offers to lend them used bottles or cloth bags. Customers are gradually getting used to this shopping method. “Although running the business is difficult, I keep doing it to encourage (鼓励) a greener lifestyle,” Qiu said. Many people in the community support Qiu’s store. Some bring boxes to the store for customers who forget their own bags. Some make cloth bags from old clothing. “It takes time to change people’s thoughts. No matter how small our efforts are, they are meaningful,” she said. 1．Why did Qiu Li open the store? A．To make lots of money. B．To make good use of her spare time. C．To encourage people to reduce packaging waste.

I was a little worried because I knew how much my 12-year-old son wanted to make the team. I read the list of 13 names for a few minutes. Finally, I had to tell myself that my son wasn’t among the players who were allowed to continue playing. I felt sad. I wished it would be about victory. Like every parent, I love to say, “You did it! ” Instead, I had to give my son a speech to comfort my son, which was a lot less exciting, but probably more important. It was not really a speech, but a further discussion about spirit, courage and not giving up. Although it was painful for me to see myself so disappointed (失望), I needed to keep my own feelings in check. Sure, I wanted to call the coach to say he made a big mistake, but I would not. Nor would I let my son know that I thought it unfair (不公平的) . Instead, I put my own feelings aside and let my son have a safe place to calm down his own moods. And when he was done, I needed to encourage him to continue to improve skills. That day was a loss, but the only way to get another was to put on his trainers and get on the basketball court again. My son is 15 years old now. And after being cut from the team for three years in a row (连续地), he got to see his name on the list for the high school team. Last week, my husband and I watched him play in his first game. The smile on his face when he made his first shot in is something I will never forget.

Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced (浮出水面). I would go out and see the sunrise. Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape. When-I-saw-Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.” “I do,” replied the Captain, “but these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits (潜水服) that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries (电池). When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all. Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We must go through it, and we were on the seafloor. It was an amazing experience. We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed (海草). Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred metres under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe. At one hundred metres deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrubs (灌木) grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers. We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further. (Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) 1．What do you think the Nautilus is? A．A kind of ship under the sea. B．A kind of fish in the sea. C．A kind of plane in the sky. D．A kind of transport on land. 2．Who didn’t go hunting with others in the forests of Crespo Island under the water? A．Captain Nemo.

C．Diving suits worked so well that they could walk freely under the sea. D．After they went through the forest, they slept on land for two hours. 5．From the passage, we can learn that . A．Ned and Nemo were close friends B．Captain Nemo enjoyed the hunting trip C．there were three people visiting the forest D．it took them 30 minutes to walk through the forest 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文节选于《海底两万里》。文章讲述了主人公在中的一段冒险经历，描述了他们如何使用潜水装备在海底的Crespo岛森林中进行狩猎。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced (浮出水面).”可知，每天早上，“我”注意到有新鲜空气进入房间，就知道鹦鹉螺号已经浮出水面了。由此可推断出，Nautilus是一种能在水下航行的船。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.”可知，当奈德意识到“我们”的打猎之旅不是去陆地上时，他决定干脆不来了。由此可知，奈德没有和其他人一起去克雷斯波岛的水下森林打猎。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island.”可知尼莫船长邀请一些人去打猎；根据第三段中的“During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits (潜水服) that used special air tanks.”可知尼莫船长制作了潜水服和照明灯；根据第五段中的“Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area.”可知他们跨过一大片长草的地方；根据第六段中的“This was the forest. The ‘trees’ in the forest were giant seaweed... Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrubs (灌木) grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers.”可知他们观赏了森林的景色；根据最后一段中的“We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.”可知他们睡着了，醒后继续往深处走。按情节的发展，④⑤②①③顺序正确。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.”可知，“我们”穿过森林后，躺下休息，醒来后继续走，并没有提到“我们”在陆地上睡了两个小时。所以选项D“穿过森林后，他们在陆地上睡了两个小时”是不正确的。故选D。 5．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island.”和最后一段“We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.”可知，尼莫船长邀请“我”和朋友们去克雷斯波岛的水下森林打猎，“我们”在那里度过了一段时光，由此可推断出尼莫船长喜欢这次打猎之旅。故选B。 第八套 24-25九上·江苏省南通市启东市·期中 Dorothy lived with her uncle Henry and aunt Em who were both farmers.

She finally fell asleep on her bed with Toto by her side. ”可知，她应是“控制住了”恐惧，因而在床上睡着了。got over应和Controlled意义相近，表示“控制”。故选B。 5．推理判断题。根据最后一段可知当她站在那里欣赏美丽的景色时，一群穿着奇怪的人走了过来。他们戴着圆帽子，帽子在头顶上方一英尺的地方变成了一个小尖。三个男人穿着蓝色的衣服，一个小女人穿着白色的裙子。他们停了下来，低声商量着，好像不敢再往前走。由此可推断，新地方的人穿着很奇怪，而且看到她不敢再往前走，说明多萝西对这群人来说是不寻常的。故选C。 第九套 24-25九上·江苏省淮安市·期中 He was the only gray cub（狼崽）of the mother wolf. The other cubs had red in their hair. He was gray like his father. He was the strongest cub. He showed more anger than his brothers and sisters. He made more noises. He was a meat-eating animal. He came out of a family of meat-killers and meat-eaters. His father and mother lived only on meat. In his first few weeks of life, he lived on mother’s milk, which was actually from meat. And now, at a month old, when his eyes had been open for only a week, he was beginning himself to eat meat. There came a time when there was no meat. For many days the cubs did not eat. They were too weak and tired to play. One-Eye, the cub’s father, was killed in the fight for food. Even the mother wolf left the cave to find meat, but there was nothing. One by one, the cubs died. Only the mother wolf and the gray cub were left. One day the gray cub ran out of the cave to hunt for his own food. He met a weasel of his size. The rat-like animal ran at him and bit his throat. He was nearly dead when the mother wolf arrived just in time to kill and eat it. The gray cub was not good at hunting yet, and still needed food from his mother. One day, the mother wolf brought him a baby lynx（猞猁）. While eating, he heard great noise. The kitten’s mother had followed the mother wolf here. The mother wolf and the mother lynx started to fight, and they would fight to the death. He ran forward and bit one of her legs. This was enough to give the mother wolf the chance she needed. The lynx was dead, but the mother wolf was badly hurt. For a week, she did not move. The gray cub had to find food for both of them. Without his mother to take care of him, he learnt what life was about. Without meat, there was no life. Animals had to eat other animals to survive.

Silent, the men returned to their posts. But Captain Columbus was worried because he knew in his heart that a day would come when his words would no longer help. Before that day, he would see land. Not an eye closed that night. The Captain stood on the high poop (艉楼) and with sleepless eyes he tried hard to look into the darkness ahead. Then, two hours before midnight, the miracle happened. A far-off light struck his eyes. It wavered (摇曳) once or twice, moving quickly on the horizon, like a fisherman’s boat on the waves. His heart hammered (砰砰直跳). But he dared not cry out, “Land!” “Your eyes are sharp, Alfredo,” he whispered to a young sailor. “Tell me what you see.” Even as he spoke, the light disappeared. “I see nothing.” The sailor stared into the darkness. The light had reappeared. “Look out!” “Ah, yes, yes! A light. Over there.” “Quiet! Are you sure, Alfredo?” “But yes, Captain! It is gone now, yet I saw it.” Surely this was not a trick of the light! Alfredo had seen it too. Somewhere ahead in darkness were human beings and inhabited land. They stood shoulder to trembling shoulder, staring into the dark. Hour after hour passed. The sand-glass under the lantern showed that it was two o’clock in the morning. The other two ships loomed (隐约出现) vaguely and in the east the line of the horizon was clearly defined. Then came a flash of flame (火焰). The long-awaited signal! Land in sight. “Land! Land!” Almost immediately came the ringing cry. There in the west, green and fair, lay an island.

A far-off light struck his eyes.”可知，在午夜前两个小时，他第一次看到了一束遥远的光；根据24小时制的时间计算，午夜是零点，所以午夜前两个小时是晚上10点左右。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第一段“But Captain Columbus was worried because he knew in his heart that a day would come when his words would no longer help.”可知，Captain Columbus一开始很担心，因为他知道总有一天他的话将不再起作用；根据第四段“His heart hammered. But he dared not cry out, ‘Land!’”可知，但在看到远方的光后，他心跳加速，尽管不敢喊出“陆地”，但可以看出他感到紧张和期待；再根据倒数第二段“‘Land! Land!’ Almost immediately came the ringing cry.”可知，当光再次出现并确认是陆地时，他和其他船员一起兴奋地欢呼。因此，他的情感变化是“担心→紧张→兴奋”。故选A。 4．推理判断题。综合全文，尤其是根据倒数第三段“Then came a flash of flame. The long-awaited signal! Land in sight.”和倒数第一段“The long waiting was at an end.

People joked that the tiny girl had magic to make the water splash disappear. “I didn’t feel nervous at all before the final in the Paris Olympic Games,” said Quan, “but since the second round, I was kind of on edge.” Quan, who usually performs in a league of her own, felt a strong challenge from her teammate Chen Yuxi but her opponent this time. After an imperfect dive in the third round, Quan was only 1.6 points ahead of Chen. “I can only give myself 50 out of 100 points for today’s performance,” said Quan. Although she was dissatisfied, she still beat Chen Yuxi. “My coaches are always helping me and encouraging me.” Quan said. “So I realized that I had to be really serious and pay attention to my training.” Ten years ago, the young girl playing with her classmates on the playground was noticed by coach Chen Huaming because of her ability to jump higher and longer, even though she has a small body. “But I’m not a talent,” said Quan. “All my achievements came after practice and it’s really hard.

Maybe tomorrow.” “OK,” said the boy, and he ran back to join the game. Gary thought how it all seemed to be so easy. He was a fool. He thought it was going to be easy, and that’s why he never really made an effort. He was a fool. Mr Steele was right. He needed more than ability to be a professional footballer. He needed to work hard and be committed (专注的). Everyone had made an effort to help him, and he had let them down. He shouldn’t have been so sure of himself, and he shouldn’t have been so lazy. Everything was a complete disaster - the jobs, his schoolwork, his friendships. Rick was right. He was a loser. He looked at his watch. He was already twenty minutes late for his lesson with Laura. But then he thought, “I’m already a loser. I’ve got nothing to lose. There’s still a chance. There’s always still a chance.” He stood up and walked across the park, then he started to run. He ran fast. He ran all the way to Laura and Matt’s house. Mrs Kelly opened the door. She looked surprised to see him. “Hello, Gary! We thought you weren’t coming,” she said. Laura was in the hallway. She was putting on her jacket. “Gary! I was just going out with mum.” “I’m sorry,” said Gary. “I promise I won’t ever be late again. I’d like you to give me a lesson... if it’s not too much trouble. You see, I really want to pass that test.” Laura looked at her mother. She took off her jacket. “You go without me, Mum,” she said. “Gary and I have got work to do.” “I haven’t seen Gary all week,” said Karen. “I saw him yesterday in the Science lab,” said Joe. “He was helping the teacher.” “That’s very strange,” said Karen. “Do you think he’s all right?” “He’s spending a lot of time with Laura at my home,” said Matt. “And she’s helping him prepare for the Academy entry test.” Gary sat at the dining room table in Matt’s house. He looked worried. Laura sat on the opposite side of the table. She was correcting Gary’s Maths homework. She looked worried too. Then she looked at Gary. “Well?” he said. “It’s brilliant,” she said. “You’re brilliant. You got everything right. I mean, just one small mistake.” She looked doubtful for a moment. “Did someone help you?” “You did,” said Gary. “I couldn’t do it without you.” Laura blushed. “I think you can pass this test, Gary. You’ve got a real talent.” “For football,” said Gary. “For Maths,” said Laura. (Adapted from Mr. Football) 1．Why did Gary think of himself as a fool in the beginning? A．Because he was too proud and lazy. B．Because he lost his friendship with Rick. C．Because he wasn’t so sure about himself. D．Because he didn’t have the ability to be a professional footballer. 2．When Laura blushed, we know the colour of her face may be _________. A．dark B．white C．red D．yellow 3．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．Gary’s Maths homework was not finished all by himself. B．Nobody was willing to give Gary a helping hand but Laura.

He shouldn’t have been so sure of himself, and he shouldn’t have been so lazy.”可知，加里认为自己是个傻瓜是因为他太骄傲且懒惰，故选A。 2．词义猜测题。根据加里说的话“I couldn’t do it without you.”可以推测，听到“没有你我不可能做到”这句话，劳拉脸红了，所以“blush”意思是脸红，她脸的颜色可能是红色，故选C。 3．推理判断题。从劳拉说“Gary and I have got work to do.”以及她对加里数学作业的评价和认为他有通过考试的天赋等内容可推断，加里很有可能通过学院入学考试，故选C。 第六套 24-25九上·江苏省宿迁市如东实验，崇文，洋河等校·期中 I lay on the beach for a long time. When I felt stronger, I stood up and looked around. “Where am I?” I asked myself. “Is this an island or mainland? Are there any people here? Any dangerous wild animals?” It was getting dark and I was still very tired. “I must look for somewhere safe to spend the night,” I thought. ① I found a big tree not far from the shore（岸）and I climbed up into the branches.

I threw them into the water and joined them together with ropes. It took me a long time, but I was happy with the result. My raft was big and strong. I filled it with lots of useful things from the ship: tools, guns, gunpowder, food, drink and clothes. Finally I made a little sail for my raft and I set off for the shore. ④ It was a long, slow journey, but I arrived safely without losing anything. I made two more trips to the ship that day.

Go back to the river where you live.” “Jim, I am not dead,” I told him. He touched my arm. “You aren’t dead,” he said, happy to look at me. I was just as happy to see him. I looked down at his campfire. “Let’s make some breakfast.” After we ate, we lay back for a bit. Jim asked, “Huck, if you’re here now, then who was killed at that hut (小屋)?” I told him the whole story. “You’re pretty smart,” he said. “Even Tom Sawyer can’t come up with a better plan than that.” “And what about you, Jim? Why are you here on the island?” He looked uneasy. “Maybe I’d better not tell.” “Why not?” I asked. “You won’t tell on (告发) me, will you?” he asked. “I promise I won’t.” Jim moved closer to me. “I ran away.” “Jim!” “Huck, you said you wouldn’t tell.” “Yeah, I promised,” I said, “and I’ll keep it.” “The thing is,” he told me, “Miss Watson always said she’d never sell me, but the other night I heard her tell the widow (寡妇) that she would sell me for $800.” “That’s a lot of money,” I said. The widow told Miss Watson she couldn’t do it, but I didn’t wait to hear what Miss Watson said. I climbed down the hill, stole (偷) a boat, and here I am.” “Well, I’m glad you’re here,” I told him. We stayed by the campfire for a while. Jim looked at the sky. The birds gathered together, and then they flew away. “The storm’s coming,” Jim said. “It’s going to be worse.” I looked at our blankets, the only protection we had. “Come on, Huck.

Her coach, Jeff, had told her, “If you want to compete again, you’ll have to get back in the half-pipe.” Eva sighed. She hadn’t been in it since she’d fallen last winter. After breakfast, Dad took Eva to the mountain. When she got to the half-pipe, it was empty. Her eyes followed the smooth sides, and she blinked (眨眼), not wanting to remember But the memory pushed out along with her breath. Last winter, Eva had planned to do an “eggflip” (空翻), a special trick at the top of the pipe. As she’d started the flip (翻转), she’d misjudged the distance. Her shoulder and helmeted head had slammed into the icy packed snow before she started to fall downward. It seemed as if she’d rolled and bounced forever, her snowboard twisting hard against her knees the whole time. As Eva stood there remembering, the half-pipe blurred (变模糊) in front of her. She breathed in cold air heavily and backed away. “Where do you think you’re going?” Jeff said. “I can’t, Jef,” Eva shouted, feeling dizzy. “I thought I could, but I can’t.” She didn’t wait for a response and rode down the slope. Days went by. Ashamed, Eva didn’t return to the half-pipe, nor Jeff’s phone calls. The weekend of the competition, Eva stayed with her aunt, On Saturday morning they were busy painting, but when the clock struck 9:00 a. m. , Eva’s mind was elsewhere.

Eva brought the list to her room and closed the door. Her friend Sherry had come first in compulsory, second in freestyle. That could have been me, Eva thought. Tears filled her eyes. Why did she have to be afraid? So what if she’d fallen? That was how you learned. Eva threw the list across the room. The next afternoon, Eva went snowboarding. She was enjoying the smooth rhythm as she glided down the slopes. On one run, Eva stopped and looked across the mountain toward the trees that hid the half-pipe. The competition was over.

A moment later, they hear a dog crying in fear. A dog is shouting and jumping, followed by Hryukin, the local goldsmith. Hryukin catches the dog to stop it from running away. The dog is terrified, and Hryukin is angry about his bleeding finger. Soon, a crowd of villagers gathers around Hryukin and the dog. Hryukin tells Otchumyelov that he was minding his own business when, for no reason, the dog bit him. Hryukin shows his finger and is worried that he won’t be able to work because of his injury. “The dog’s owner should pay me!” Hryukin says. Otchumyelov agrees and adds that the dog must be put down as well. “Who owns this dog?” he asks the crowd, eager to find the culprit (罪犯). When someone answers that the owner is the powerful General Zhigalov, Otchumyelov becomes nervous and suddenly suggests a different possibility: This dog may actually be innocent (无罪的). “How could this tiny dog reach your finger if you were minding your own business?” Otchumyelov asks Hryukin. Someone in the crowd answers that he saw Hryukin anger the dog by sticking a cigarette in its face. Hryukin starts to negate this, but he’s interrupted by Yeldyrin. Yeldyrin says that the dog isn’t General Zhigalov’s. Very quickly, Otchumyelov agrees. He points out that the general would never bother with a dog like this one. But just as Otchumyelov decides they must kill the dog, Yeldyrin remembers seeing a similar dog on the general’s property. Depending on who he believes to be the dog’s owner, Otchumyelov has a different answer for whether the dog should live or die. Finally, the general’s cook arrives on the scene with the truth. The cook says that this dog isn’t General Zhigalov’s but instead belongs to the general’s brother, another powerful man. After hearing this, Otchumyelov quickly compliments the dog and laughs about the whole incident. As the cook leaves to return the dog to its owner, Otchumyelov threatens to hurt Hryukin for making a scene. The crowd laughs at the goldsmith and his injured finger. —Adapted from A Chameleon 1．When walking in the village square, Otchumyelov and Yeldyrin see ________.

It’s a crow.” After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is this?” This time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone, “It’s a crow, a crow.” After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?” This time his son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?” A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born.

Customers (顾客) bring their own cloth bags or bottles to take what they want to buy. Qiu Li opened the store with the hope of sharing the message that over-packaging and single-use plastics are harmful to the environment. The store’s sales were low in the beginning. “The items are priced a little higher because they are organic (有机的),” Qiu explained. What’s more, the new shopping method raised many questions. “Some customers point to a jar and ask if there are smaller packages,” she said. Qiu always explains to each customer that they can use their own cloth bags to take as much or as little as they want. She also offers to lend them used bottles or cloth bags. Customers are gradually getting used to this shopping method. “Although running the business is difficult, I keep doing it to encourage (鼓励) a greener lifestyle,” Qiu said. Many people in the community support Qiu’s store. Some bring boxes to the store for customers who forget their own bags.

I was a little worried because I knew how much my 12-year-old son wanted to make the team. I read the list of 13 names for a few minutes. Finally, I had to tell myself that my son wasn’t among the players who were allowed to continue playing. I felt sad. I wished it would be about victory. Like every parent, I love to say, “You did it! ” Instead, I had to give my son a speech to comfort my son, which was a lot less exciting, but probably more important. It was not really a speech, but a further discussion about spirit, courage and not giving up. Although it was painful for me to see myself so disappointed (失望), I needed to keep my own feelings in check. Sure, I wanted to call the coach to say he made a big mistake, but I would not. Nor would I let my son know that I thought it unfair (不公平的) . Instead, I put my own feelings aside and let my son have a safe place to calm down his own moods. And when he was done, I needed to encourage him to continue to improve skills. That day was a loss, but the only way to get another was to put on his trainers and get on the basketball court again. My son is 15 years old now. And after being cut from the team for three years in a row (连续地), he got to see his name on the list for the high school team. Last week, my husband and I watched him play in his first game. The smile on his face when he made his first shot in is something I will never forget.

Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced (浮出水面). I would go out and see the sunrise. Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape. When-I-saw-Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.” “I do,” replied the Captain, “but these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits (潜水服) that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries (电池). When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all. Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We must go through it, and we were on the seafloor. It was an amazing experience. We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed (海草). Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred metres under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe. At one hundred metres deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrubs (灌木) grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers. We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy.

They were too weak and tired to play. One-Eye, the cub’s father, was killed in the fight for food. Even the mother wolf left the cave to find meat, but there was nothing. One by one, the cubs died.

He was nearly dead when the mother wolf arrived just in time to kill and eat it. The gray cub was not good at hunting yet, and still needed food from his mother. One day, the mother wolf brought him a baby lynx（猞猁）. While eating, he heard great noise. The kitten’s mother had followed the mother wolf here.

Silent, the men returned to their posts. But Captain Columbus was worried because he knew in his heart that a day would come when his words would no longer help. Before that day, he would see land. Not an eye closed that night. The Captain stood on the high poop (艉楼) and with sleepless eyes he tried hard to look into the darkness ahead. Then, two hours before midnight, the miracle happened. A far-off light struck his eyes. It wavered (摇曳) once or twice, moving quickly on the horizon, like a fisherman’s boat on the waves. His heart hammered (砰砰直跳). But he dared not cry out, “Land!” “Your eyes are sharp, Alfredo,” he whispered to a young sailor. “Tell me what you see.” Even as he spoke, the light disappeared. “I see nothing.” The sailor stared into the darkness.

People joked that the tiny girl had magic to make the water splash disappear. “I didn’t feel nervous at all before the final in the Paris Olympic Games,” said Quan, “but since the second round, I was kind of on edge.” Quan, who usually performs in a league of her own, felt a strong challenge from her teammate Chen Yuxi but her opponent this time. After an imperfect dive in the third round, Quan was only 1.6 points ahead of Chen. “I can only give myself 50 out of 100 points for today’s performance,” said Quan. Although she was dissatisfied, she still beat Chen Yuxi. “My coaches are always helping me and encouraging me.” Quan said. “So I realized that I had to be really serious and pay attention to my training.” Ten years ago, the young girl playing with her classmates on the playground was noticed by coach Chen Huaming because of her ability to jump higher and longer, even though she has a small body. “But I’m not a talent,” said Quan. “All my achievements came after practice and it’s really hard.

Some children were playing football on the grass. A small ginger-haired (红头发的) boy ran over to him. “Come and play with us, Mr Football,” he said. “Not today, Terry. Maybe tomorrow.” “OK,” said the boy, and he ran back to join the game. Gary thought how it all seemed to be so easy. He was a fool. He thought it was going to be easy, and that’s why he never really made an effort. He was a fool. Mr Steele was right. He needed more than ability to be a professional footballer. He needed to work hard and be committed (专注的). Everyone had made an effort to help him, and he had let them down. He shouldn’t have been so sure of himself, and he shouldn’t have been so lazy. Everything was a complete disaster - the jobs, his schoolwork, his friendships. Rick was right. He was a loser. He looked at his watch. He was already twenty minutes late for his lesson with Laura. But then he thought, “I’m already a loser. I’ve got nothing to lose. There’s still a chance. There’s always still a chance.” He stood up and walked across the park, then he started to run. He ran fast. He ran all the way to Laura and Matt’s house. Mrs Kelly opened the door. She looked surprised to see him. “Hello, Gary! We thought you weren’t coming,” she said. Laura was in the hallway. She was putting on her jacket. “Gary! I was just going out with mum.” “I’m sorry,” said Gary. “I promise I won’t ever be late again. I’d like you to give me a lesson... if it’s not too much trouble. You see, I really want to pass that test.” Laura looked at her mother. She took off her jacket. “You go without me, Mum,” she said. “Gary and I have got work to do.” “I haven’t seen Gary all week,” said Karen. “I saw him yesterday in the Science lab,” said Joe. “He was helping the teacher.” “That’s very strange,” said Karen. “Do you think he’s all right?” “He’s spending a lot of time with Laura at my home,” said Matt. “And she’s helping him prepare for the Academy entry test.” Gary sat at the dining room table in Matt’s house. He looked worried. Laura sat on the opposite side of the table. She was correcting Gary’s Maths homework. She looked worried too. Then she looked at Gary. “Well?” he said. “It’s brilliant,” she said. “You’re brilliant. You got everything right. I mean, just one small mistake.” She looked doubtful for a moment. “Did someone help you?” “You did,” said Gary. “I couldn’t do it without you.” Laura blushed. “I think you can pass this test, Gary. You’ve got a real talent.” “For football,” said Gary. “For Maths,” said Laura. (Adapted from Mr. Football) 1．Why did Gary think of himself as a fool in the beginning?

When I felt stronger, I stood up and looked around. “Where am I?” I asked myself. “Is this an island or mainland? Are there any people here? Any dangerous wild animals?” It was getting dark and I was still very tired. “I must look for somewhere safe to spend the night,” I thought. ① I found a big tree not far from the shore（岸）and I climbed up into the branches. It made a comfortable bed and I fell asleep at once. The next morning the sky was blue and there was no wind. I could see the ship from my bed in the tree. I decided to swim to it. ② First of all, I went to the kitchen because I was feeling very hungry. Luckily all the bread in the cupboard was still dry. While I was walking around the ship I thought, “The ship is going to sink. I must make a raft and take all the food back to the shore before it’s too late.” ③ I found some pieces of wood on the ship. I threw them into the water and joined them together with ropes. It took me a long time, but I was happy with the result. My raft was big and strong. I filled it with lots of useful things from the ship: tools, guns, gunpowder, food, drink and clothes. Finally I made a little sail for my raft and I set off for the shore. ④ It was a long, slow journey, but I arrived safely without losing anything. I made two more trips to the ship that day. Then, before it got too dark, I built a small tent. I put everything inside it and went to bed. —Adapted from Robinson Crusoe 1．Robinson spent the first night _________.
