From the wisdom in Lunyu (《论语》) to the story of Dream of the Red Chamber (《红楼梦》), these works are rich in Chinese cultural traditions. However, on the world stage, the true value of Chinese literature hasn’t been fully admired yet. This makes the introduction of Chinese literature to the world become an urgent and important topic. Famous writer Liu Zhenyun has done a lot in this area. His works have been translated into over 30 languages. They are regarded as bridges connecting different cultures. He believes that going to the world will have a big influence on Chinese literature. Through his communication with readers from different countries, he found that people in different countries have different views of the world. For example, people in the Scotland always regard Chinese people are not so kind. But after reading Liu Zhenyun’s novel I didn’t Kill My Husband, some people were deeply touched by the character’s bravery and resolution and completely changed her previous stereotype (刻板印象) of Chinese people. In addition, they also showed that they wanted to come to China to have a look in person. “Communication is mutual. To make more people know about Chinese literature, we not only need to simply go out, but also have to bring in world-famous works. Although there are still many difficulties such as language barriers (障碍) and cultural differences, trying hard must make a difference,” says Liu Zhenyun. 1．According to the passage, what is true about Chinese literary classics? A．They are rich in Chinese cultural traditions. B．They all date back to more than 5000 years ago. C．They mainly include stories from “Dream of the Red Chamber”.

B．They are only popular among Asian readers. C．They serve as a tool to break down cultural barriers. D．Most of his works are about foreign culture. 3．What can we learn from the example of the Scottish reader’s change in attitude? A．Scottish people never change their minds. B．All foreigners have negative views of Chinese people. C．Chinese literature has no influence on foreign readers. D．Reading Chinese literature can change people’s ideas about China. 4．The underlined word “mutual” in the last paragraph probably means _________. A．Just going out without bringing in foreign works. B．Bringing in world-famous works instead of going out. C．Both going out and bringing in world-famous works. D．Neither going out nor bringing in foreign works. 5．What is the main idea of this passage? A．The history of Chinese literary classics. B．Liu Zhenyun’s personal success in writing. C．The different views of different countries towards Chinese literature.

As soon as the game came out, it led a new interest in the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West around the world. The writer of the novel is Wu Cheng’en, who is believed to create it in the 16th century based on older stories and history. The novel is mainly about a Buddhist monk named Xuanzang, who takes his disciple (徒弟), including Sun Wukong the “Monkey King,” on a journey to find sutras (真经). For centuries, the novel has not only been made into films and TV shows, but also gave rise to a number of common sayings. Eyes of fire and gold In one of chapters, Wukong is locked up in a fire store as punishment after causing a mess in the Heaven. He runs into a room where the fire cannot reach. However, the smoke leaves him with an eye condition called “Fiery Eye”. Wukong’s fiery eyes allow him to see things hidden from ordinary humans, such as monsters who change shapes or become unseen. Nowadays, this phrase generally refers to someone’s ability to discover crime or cheating. For example: His lies seemed perfect. but she still saw through them with her “eyes of fire and gold”. Transform with a shake of the body “Transforming with a shaking the body” refers a kind of shapeshifting that doesn’t take much effort. The Monkey King learns “Seventy-Two Changes” from Puti Zushi. In the novel, he transforms into a bird, a tree or a temple according to different situations. Today, the phrase is often used to express a great change of situation. For example: With strong support from fairies (精灵), Cinderella transformed into the most beautiful girl at the party. Shentong Shentong refers to a set of powers. Wukong is the one who has strong powers: a jump with his jindouyun, a magical cloud he rides as a means of transport. What’s more, he has a magic stick with which he beats bad spirits. So this phrase describes a person who has strong powers. 1．Why does the writer ask the question in the first paragraph? A．To get readers interested. B．To ask readers to answer it. C．To ask readers to talk about the game. D．To get readers to read Journey to the West. 2．What does the saying “transform with a shake of the body” probably mean in Chinese? A．大显身手 B．原形毕露 C．三头六臂 D．摇身一变 3．What may the writer do next at the end of the last paragraph? A．List numbers. B．Ask a question. C．Compare facts. D．Give an example. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 长难句解析 原句：（第二段第二句）The novel is mainly about a Buddhist monk named Xuanzang, who takes his disciple (徒弟), including Sun Wukong the “Monkey King,” on a journey to find sutras (真经). 译文：句意：这部小说主要讲述了一位名叫玄奘的和尚，他带着他的徒弟，包括“美猴王”孙悟空，踏上了寻找真经的旅程。 分析：分析：本句中The novel是主语，is是系动词，mainly about a Buddhist monk named Xuanzang是表语，其中named Xuanzang是过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰monk；who takes his disciple (徒弟), including Sun Wukong the “Monkey King,” on a journey to find sutras (真经)是一个定语从句，修饰先行词monk，在这个定语从句中，who作主语，takes是谓语，his disciple是宾语，including Sun Wukong the “Monkey King”是插入语，on a journey to find sutras是目的状语。 【译文】   你听说过《黑神话：悟空》吗？这款游戏一经推出，便在全球引发了人们对中国古典小说《西游记》的新一轮兴趣。 这部小说的作者是吴承恩，人们认为他在16世纪根据古老的故事和历史创作了这部作品。小说主要讲述了一位名叫玄奘的和尚，带着他的徒弟们，包括“美猴王”孙悟空，踏上了寻找真经的旅程。几个世纪以来，这部小说不仅被改编成电影和电视剧，还衍生出了许多常用俗语。 火眼金睛 在其中一个章节里，孙悟空在大闹天宫后被关进炼丹炉作为惩罚。他躲进了一个火焰无法烧到的地方。然而，炉中的烟熏坏了他的眼睛，让他得了一种叫“火眼金睛”的眼病。孙悟空的火眼金睛能让他看到普通人看不到的东西，比如那些会变形或隐身的妖怪。如今，这个短语通常用来形容某人有发现犯罪或欺诈行为的能力。例如：他的谎言似乎天衣无缝，但她还是凭借“火眼金睛”看穿了他。 摇身一变 “摇身一变”指的是一种不费多大力气就能改变形态的能力。美猴王跟菩提祖师学会了“七十二变”。在小说中，他能根据不同的情况变成鸟、树或庙宇。如今，这个短语常用来形容情况发生了巨大的变化。例如：在精灵们的大力帮助下，灰姑娘在舞会上摇身一变，成了最美丽的女孩。 神通 “神通”指的是一系列的法力。孙悟空就是拥有强大法力的人：他能借助筋斗云一跃千里，筋斗云是他用来飞行的神奇云朵。此外，他还有一根金箍棒，用它来降妖除魔。所以这个短语用来形容一个拥有强大能力的人。 【知识拓展】 话题：《西游记》相关文化及游戏《黑神话：悟空》 ①《黑神话：悟空》：这是一款以中国神话为背景的动作角色扮演游戏，其预告视频凭借精美的画面、精彩的打斗场面和对《西游记》元素的巧妙运用，在全球游戏圈引发了广泛关注。它有望为玩家带来沉浸式的西游世界体验，展现中国传统文化的魅力。 ②《西游记》在世界的传播：《西游记》是中国文学的瑰宝，早在19世纪就开始被翻译成多种语言传播到世界各地。它对其他国家的文学、影视、动漫等领域产生了深远影响，如日本的《七龙珠》就借鉴了《西游记》的部分人物形象和故事元素。 ③《西游记》的文学价值：《西游记》是中国古代第一部浪漫主义章回体长篇神魔小说，它以丰富奇特的艺术想象、生动曲折的故事情节、栩栩如生的人物形象、幽默诙谐的语言，构筑了一座独具特色的艺术宫殿。它与《红楼梦》《水浒传》《三国演义》并称为中国古典四大名著。 ④《西游记》中的佛教文化：小说中蕴含着丰富的佛教文化，如取经的主题体现了佛教的修行和觉悟思想，众多的佛教神祇和佛理教义也贯穿其中。它反映了当时社会的宗教信仰和文化氛围。 ⑤《西游记》衍生文化：除了常见的影视改编和俗语流传，《西游记》还衍生出了大量的绘画、雕塑、戏曲等艺术形式。在戏曲中，有京剧《大闹天宫》等经典剧目，以独特的表演形式展现了《西游记》的精彩故事。 实战演练 真题示例 Passage A （2025·江苏淮安·中考真题） (“I” am a horse, the main character in the novel.) A horse fair was an interesting place. Many people went there to sell horses. You could see many kinds of young and strong horses. There were also poor and thin horses and they were worn out because of hard work. One day, the seller took me there. He wanted to sell me at a high price. I didn’t know if I would be lucky enough to meet a master who would treat me well. Then a man with a gentle voice came to us. He wanted to buy me at a low price, but the seller refused.

Poor Alice, who was about one foot high after taking some drink, found a cake on the floor. She went up and soon ate all the cake. “How strange! How tall I am!” said Alice. She looked down at her feet—they seemed so far off. In fact, she was now over nine feet high, which meant she still couldn’t get through the door. She sat down, and had a good cry till there was a large pool all round her. Suddenly, she heard the sound of feet not far off. It was the Rabbit that had come back, with a fan in his hand. Alice felt so in need of help from someone, that when he came near, she called out, “If you please, sir....” The Rabbit started as if shot, dropped the fan and ran off as fast as possible. Alice picked up the fan and as the hall was hot, she fanned herself. “Dear, dear! How strange all things are today! I do wish to get out of the hall! ” she said. Then she noticed herself in the glass—she was now not more than two feet high, and still shrinking quite fast. That was the fan! She realized this and dropped it at once, or she would shrink to the size of an ant soon. Alice was in a sad fear at the quick change. “Things are worse,” said the poor girl, “I was never so small as this. How can I get out?” As she said these words, she lost her footsteps and was up to her chin (下巴) in salt water—her own tears. Just then Alice noticed a mouse swimming towards her. “Will it be useful now to speak to this mouse? All things are so strange here. I should think maybe it can talk. At least there’s no harm to try.” So she swam up. —— Adapted from Alice in Wonderland 1．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Alice ate up a cake. b.

D．Becoming smaller. 4．What do we know about Alice according to the story? A．She regretted what she did. B．She wouldn’t ask for any help. C．She was trying to get out of trouble. D．She was clear what would happen to her. 长难句解析 原句：（第三段第三句）Alice felt so in need of help from someone, that when he came near, she called out, “If you please, sir....” 译文：爱丽丝非常需要有人来帮她一把，所以当他走近时，她大声喊道：“先生，劳驾……” 分析：本句是so...that...引导的结果状语从句。主句是Alice felt so in need of help from someone，是主系表结构；that后面引导结果状语从句，在这个结果状语从句中，when he came near是时间状语从句，she called out是主句，“If you please, sir....”是直接引语作宾语。 【译文】   大厅里，门紧闭着，钥匙放在玻璃架上。可怜的爱丽丝，喝了些东西后身高只有大约一英尺，她在地板上发现了一块蛋糕。她走过去，很快就把蛋糕吃光了。 “真奇怪！我长得多高啊！”爱丽丝说。她低头看着自己的脚——它们似乎远在天边。实际上，她现在已经超过九英尺高了，这意味着她仍然无法穿过那扇门。她坐下来，大哭了一场，直到她周围形成了一大片水潭。 突然，她听到不远处有脚步声。原来是那只兔子回来了，手里拿着一把扇子。爱丽丝觉得自己非常需要有人帮忙，所以当兔子走近时，她喊道：“劳驾，先生……”兔子像被枪击中一样吓了一跳，扔下扇子，尽可能快地跑掉了。 爱丽丝捡起扇子，由于大厅里很热，她给自己扇起了风。“天哪，天哪！今天所有的事情都好奇怪啊！我真希望能走出这个大厅！”她说。 然后她在镜子里看到了自己——她现在身高还不到两英尺，而且还在迅速变矮。原来是这把扇子的缘故！她意识到这一点，立刻扔掉了扇子，否则她很快就会缩成蚂蚁那么小。 爱丽丝对这快速的变化感到极度恐惧。“情况更糟了，”可怜的女孩说，“我从来没有这么小过。我怎么出去呢？”她刚说完这些话，就脚下一滑，咸水没过了她的下巴——那是她自己的眼泪。 就在这时，爱丽丝注意到一只老鼠正朝她游过来。 “现在和这只老鼠说话会有用吗？这里所有的事情都很奇怪。我想也许它会说话。至少试一试也没什么坏处。”于是她游了过去。 ——改编自《爱丽丝梦游仙境》 模拟演练 Passage A （2025·山东青岛·模拟预测）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The Witch (女巫) wanted to 1 the Silver Shoes which the girl Dorothy always wore.

The 3 was that the Witch was too afraid of the dark to go in Dorothy’s room at night. And her fear of water was greater than her fear of the dark, so she never came near when Dorothy was 4 . In fact, she never touched water. However, the Witch thought of a trick that would give her 5 she wanted. She placed a piece of iron in the middle of the kitchen floor. Then, using magic, she made the iron not be seen by human eyes. When Dorothy walked across the floor, she 6 the iron.

I was the third of five sons. My childhood was very happy. I liked going to school and learning new things. ▲ One day, Father asked, “Lemuel, have you thought about your future? I think you would be a good doctor.” I wanted to please him, so I said, “Yes, Father. I’ll go to Cambridge University and study medicine.” But as I spoke, I was thinking, “At university, I can also learn things that will be useful to a sailor.” After several years of study, I became a doctor. Not long after, I asked my sweetheart, Mary, to marry me. Before long, we had children, a boy and a girl. They gave us great joy. I enjoyed being a doctor for the first few years. But then I became bored, and ideas of travel filled my mind. I imagined going to far-off places and seeing wonderful new things. “Mary,” I said one day, “I need more adventures in my life. The captain of a ship about to sail has offered me a job as the ship’s doctor. I don’t know how long the journey will take, but I promise I will return. And when I do, I’ll tell you and the children all about my adventures.” So in 1699, I set sail on the Antelope from Bristol. That city is a large and very old port in the southwest of England. The captain was a good man and had sailed a great deal! “Welcome aboard. Doctor Gulliver,” he said, “First we’ll be sailing down the Atlantic Ocean and around the coast of Africa. Then we’ll sail through the Indian Ocean to the South Seas.” Our journey went well until one morning, somewhere near Tasmania in the South Pacific Ocean. “I don’t like the look of those clouds,” the captain said, “I think a storm is coming.” Within an hour, a big storm began. The sea rose in great, angry waves much taller than the Antelope. The wind, now as strong as a hurricane, made a terrible sound. “The wind is blowing the ship off course!” shouted the captain. “Look out!” Suddenly, with a loud crack, the Antelope hit some rocks and broke in half. The sailors fell into the sea. Many of them could not swim. The ship sank quickly, and I suppose everyone but me drowned. —Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 1．Which sentence can be put into the blank ▲ in the first Paragraph?

Passage C（2025·江苏镇江·二模） As the spirit spoke, they passed through the wall and stood on a country road with fields on either side. The city had disappeared. It was now day time, and there was snow on the ground. “I know where we are!” Scrooge shouted. “I was born here and lived here as a boy.” He began to have memories of his childhood. A tear (眼泪) came into his eye. “If you remember this place,” the spirit said, “you may now lead the way.” They walked along the road until a little town could be seen ahead with its bridge, church, and river. Some small horses came towards them with boys upon their backs. When the boys came nearer, Scrooge recognized each of them and could call out their names. He felt so happy to see them all again. All these boys shouted to each other until the fields were full of their laughter. “We are now at the school,” said the spirit. “Only one child is there, left alone by the others.” Hearing what he said, Scrooge burst into tears. They walked through the school house until they came to a room that was empty except for a small boy sitting at a desk, reading. The room seemed very old and needed to be repaired. The spirit pointed to the boy. Scrooge looked at the boy, sat down and couldn’t help crying. It was Scrooge when he was young. Suddenly, a man wearing strange clothes stood outside the window. He was leading a horse. “It’s Ali Baba!” Scrooge shouted excitedly. “It’s dear, old, honest Ali Baba! Yes, yes, I remember.” Scrooge remembered how lonely he had been as a child. “Poor boy!” he said, and tears came into his eyes again. “I wish,” he said, putting his hands in his pocket and looking around him after drying his eyes, “but it’s too late now.” “What do you wish?” asked the spirit. “There was a boy singing a Christmas carol at my door last night.

Passage D This year the US will honour(纪念) one of the country’s most famous writers―Mark Twain (1835-1910). Most readers know that his real name was Sammel Longhorne Clemens, but how many know where the pen name “Mark Twain” came from? The answer shows Clemen’s colourful early life before he became a writer. “Mark Twain” was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms (6 feet) deep. “Twain” is an old-fashion way of saying “two”. Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in humorous Life on the Mississippi(1883). The famous river was an important theme in many of his works. With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading and thinking, which greatly helped him with his writing. On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called”local colour” because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs. Thisgiftis very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today.The Adventure of Tom Sawyer(1876) and its follow-up(后来的)The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Which many people call “The Great American Novel”. The most amazing invention in the book is the voice of Huck himself. Hunk did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well. 1．Who will the American will honour this year? A．A famous musician called Tom Sawyer. B．A talent dancer from Mississipi. C．A wonderful novelThe Adventure of Tom Sawyer. D．Sammel Clemens, a well-known writer. 2．Why is the Mississippi so important in Mark Twain’s works? A．Because Twain’s hometown is near the river. B．Because Mark Twain once worked on the river in his early life. C．Because Mark Twain is interested in rivers. D．Because Tom and Hunk are Twain’s friends. 3．What does the underlined word “gift” mean in the passage? A．Twain’s talent for self-teaching. B．Twain’s “local colour” writing style. C．Twain’s good sense of humour D．Twain’s experiences as a ship pilot. 4．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Mark twain graduated form a famous university. B．Tom Sawyer was once a ship pilot. C．Mark twain is a master of American literature. D．Huck had much schooling and used language in a spoken style.

From the wisdom in Lunyu (《论语》) to the story of Dream of the Red Chamber (《红楼梦》), these works are rich in Chinese cultural traditions. However, on the world stage, the true value of Chinese literature hasn’t been fully admired yet. This makes the introduction of Chinese literature to the world become an urgent and important topic. Famous writer Liu Zhenyun has done a lot in this area. His works have been translated into over 30 languages. They are regarded as bridges connecting different cultures. He believes that going to the world will have a big influence on Chinese literature. Through his communication with readers from different countries, he found that people in different countries have different views of the world. For example, people in the Scotland always regard Chinese people are not so kind. But after reading Liu Zhenyun’s novel I didn’t Kill My Husband, some people were deeply touched by the character’s bravery and resolution and completely changed her previous stereotype (刻板印象) of Chinese people. In addition, they also showed that they wanted to come to China to have a look in person. “Communication is mutual. To make more people know about Chinese literature, we not only need to simply go out, but also have to bring in world-famous works. Although there are still many difficulties such as language barriers (障碍) and cultural differences, trying hard must make a difference,” says Liu Zhenyun. 1．According to the passage, what is true about Chinese literary classics? A．They are rich in Chinese cultural traditions. B．They all date back to more than 5000 years ago. C．They mainly include stories from “Dream of the Red Chamber”. D．Their influence in the world is very important. 2．Which of the following details about Liu Zhenyun’s works is correct? A．His works were written in different languages. B．They are only popular among Asian readers. C．They serve as a tool to break down cultural barriers. D．Most of his works are about foreign culture. 3．What can we learn from the example of the Scottish reader’s change in attitude? A．Scottish people never change their minds. B．All foreigners have negative views of Chinese people. C．Chinese literature has no influence on foreign readers. D．Reading Chinese literature can change people’s ideas about China. 4．The underlined word “mutual” in the last paragraph probably means _________. A．Just going out without bringing in foreign works. B．Bringing in world-famous works instead of going out. C．Both going out and bringing in world-famous works. D．Neither going out nor bringing in foreign works. 5．What is the main idea of this passage? A．The history of Chinese literary classics. B．Liu Zhenyun’s personal success in writing. C．The different views of different countries towards Chinese literature. D．Chinese classic books help share China’s culture worldwide and change wrong ideas. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国文学经典在世界舞台上的价值未被充分认识，以及作家刘震云通过作品翻译促进文化交流的案例，强调中国文学在改变外国人对中国的刻板印象和传播中国文化方面的重要作用。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第1段“From the wisdom in Lunyu (《论语》) to the story of Dream of the Red Chamber (《红楼梦》), these works are rich in Chinese cultural traditions.”可知，中国文学名著富含中国文化传统。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第2段“He believes that going to the world will have a big influence on Chinese literature.”以及“They are regarded as bridges connecting different cultures.”可知，他的作品起到了打破文化障碍的作用。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第3段 “But after reading Liu Zhenyun’s novel I didn’t Kill My Husband, some people were deeply touched by the character’s bravery and resolution and completely changed her previous stereotype (刻板印象) of Chinese people.”可知，读中国文学作品能改变人们对中国的看法。故选D。 4．词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“To make more people know about Chinese literature, we not only need to simply go out, but also have to bring in world-famous works.”可知，沟通是相互的，既要走出去，也要引进来，所以“mutual”意思是“相互的”。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。文章主要讲述中国经典书籍有助于在世界范围内分享中国文化并改变错误观念。故选D。 长难句解析 原句：（第四段最后一句）Although there are still many difficulties such as language barriers and cultural differences, trying hard must make a difference. 1. 译文：虽然仍然存在许多困难，如语言障碍和文化差异，但努力一定会有效果。 2. 分析：本句是复合句，Although引导让步状语从句，在这个让步状语从句中，使用了there be句型，表示“有”，such as language barriers and cultural differences是对many difficulties的举例说明；句子主干是trying hard must make a difference，其中trying hard是动名词短语作主语，must make是谓语，a difference是宾语。 【译文】   拥有5000多年历史的中国孕育了大量的文学名著。从《论语》中的智慧到《红楼梦》的故事，这些作品蕴含着丰富的中国文化传统。然而，在世界舞台上，中国文学的真正价值尚未得到充分认可。这使得将中国文学推向世界成为一个紧迫而重要的话题。 著名作家刘震云在这方面做出了很多贡献。他的作品被翻译成30多种语言。这些作品被视为连接不同文化的桥梁。他认为走向世界将对中国文学产生重大影响。 通过与不同国家读者的交流，他发现不同国家的人对世界有不同的看法。例如，苏格兰人总是认为中国人不够友善。但在读完刘震云的小说《我不是潘金莲》后，一些人被书中人物的勇敢和决心深深打动，彻底改变了他们之前对中国人的刻板印象。此外，他们还表示想亲自来中国看看。 “交流是相互的。为了让更多人了解中国文学，我们不仅要走出去，还要引进世界名著。虽然仍然存在语言障碍和文化差异等诸多困难，但努力一定会有成效。”刘震云说。 Passage B （2025·山东滨州·二模） Have you heard about Black Myth: Wukong? As soon as the game came out, it led a new interest in the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West around the world. The writer of the novel is Wu Cheng’en, who is believed to create it in the 16th century based on older stories and history. The novel is mainly about a Buddhist monk named Xuanzang, who takes his disciple (徒弟), including Sun Wukong the “Monkey King,” on a journey to find sutras (真经). For centuries, the novel has not only been made into films and TV shows, but also gave rise to a number of common sayings. Eyes of fire and gold In one of chapters, Wukong is locked up in a fire store as punishment after causing a mess in the Heaven. He runs into a room where the fire cannot reach. However, the smoke leaves him with an eye condition called “Fiery Eye”. Wukong’s fiery eyes allow him to see things hidden from ordinary humans, such as monsters who change shapes or become unseen. Nowadays, this phrase generally refers to someone’s ability to discover crime or cheating. For example: His lies seemed perfect. but she still saw through them with her “eyes of fire and gold”. Transform with a shake of the body “Transforming with a shaking the body” refers a kind of shapeshifting that doesn’t take much effort. The Monkey King learns “Seventy-Two Changes” from Puti Zushi. In the novel, he transforms into a bird, a tree or a temple according to different situations. Today, the phrase is often used to express a great change of situation. For example: With strong support from fairies (精灵), Cinderella transformed into the most beautiful girl at the party. Shentong Shentong refers to a set of powers. Wukong is the one who has strong powers: a jump with his jindouyun, a magical cloud he rides as a means of transport. What’s more, he has a magic stick with which he beats bad spirits. So this phrase describes a person who has strong powers. 1．Why does the writer ask the question in the first paragraph? A．To get readers interested. B．To ask readers to answer it. C．To ask readers to talk about the game. D．To get readers to read Journey to the West. 2．What does the saying “transform with a shake of the body” probably mean in Chinese? A．大显身手 B．原形毕露 C．三头六臂 D．摇身一变 3．What may the writer do next at the end of the last paragraph? A．List numbers. B．Ask a question. C．Compare facts. D．Give an example. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了一款名为《黑神话：悟空》的游戏，它在全球范围内引发了对中国经典小说《西游记》的新兴趣，并详细解释了小说中的几个常见成语及其在现代语境中的含义。 1．细节理解题。根据“As soon as the game came out, it led a new interest in the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West around the world.”可知，游戏一出，就在全世界引发了对中国古典名著《西游记》的新兴趣，因此，作者在第一段提出问题的目的是为了引起读者的兴趣。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Today, the phrase is often used to express a great change of situation”可知，短语“transform with a shake of the body”在现代语境中常用来表达情况的巨大变化，这与中文成语“摇身一变”相符。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“So this phrase describes a person who has strong powers.”可知，作者在此处解释了一个短语的含义，而根据文章中的其他部分“...For example:...”可知作者通常在解释完一个短语后会给出一个例子来进一步说明，因此，可以推断出作者在最后一段的结尾可能会给出一个例子。故选D。 4．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引出话题，第二段介绍了《西游记》这部小说；第三至第五段介绍了小说中的几个常见成语及其在现代语境中的含义。故选项C符合文章结构。故选C。 长难句解析 原句：（第二段第二句）The novel is mainly about a Buddhist monk named Xuanzang, who takes his disciple (徒弟), including Sun Wukong the “Monkey King,” on a journey to find sutras (真经). 译文：句意：这部小说主要讲述了一位名叫玄奘的和尚，他带着他的徒弟，包括“美猴王”孙悟空，踏上了寻找真经的旅程。 分析：分析：本句中The novel是主语，is是系动词，mainly about a Buddhist monk named Xuanzang是表语，其中named Xuanzang是过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰monk；who takes his disciple (徒弟), including Sun Wukong the “Monkey King,” on a journey to find sutras (真经)是一个定语从句，修饰先行词monk，在这个定语从句中，who作主语，takes是谓语，his disciple是宾语，including Sun Wukong the “Monkey King”是插入语，on a journey to find sutras是目的状语。 【译文】   你听说过《黑神话：悟空》吗？这款游戏一经推出，便在全球引发了人们对中国古典小说《西游记》的新一轮兴趣。 这部小说的作者是吴承恩，人们认为他在16世纪根据古老的故事和历史创作了这部作品。小说主要讲述了一位名叫玄奘的和尚，带着他的徒弟们，包括“美猴王”孙悟空，踏上了寻找真经的旅程。几个世纪以来，这部小说不仅被改编成电影和电视剧，还衍生出了许多常用俗语。 火眼金睛 在其中一个章节里，孙悟空在大闹天宫后被关进炼丹炉作为惩罚。他躲进了一个火焰无法烧到的地方。然而，炉中的烟熏坏了他的眼睛，让他得了一种叫“火眼金睛”的眼病。孙悟空的火眼金睛能让他看到普通人看不到的东西，比如那些会变形或隐身的妖怪。如今，这个短语通常用来形容某人有发现犯罪或欺诈行为的能力。例如：他的谎言似乎天衣无缝，但她还是凭借“火眼金睛”看穿了他。 摇身一变 “摇身一变”指的是一种不费多大力气就能改变形态的能力。美猴王跟菩提祖师学会了“七十二变”。在小说中，他能根据不同的情况变成鸟、树或庙宇。如今，这个短语常用来形容情况发生了巨大的变化。例如：在精灵们的大力帮助下，灰姑娘在舞会上摇身一变，成了最美丽的女孩。 神通 “神通”指的是一系列的法力。孙悟空就是拥有强大法力的人：他能借助筋斗云一跃千里，筋斗云是他用来飞行的神奇云朵。此外，他还有一根金箍棒，用它来降妖除魔。所以这个短语用来形容一个拥有强大能力的人。 【知识拓展】 话题：《西游记》相关文化及游戏《黑神话：悟空》 ①《黑神话：悟空》：这是一款以中国神话为背景的动作角色扮演游戏，其预告视频凭借精美的画面、精彩的打斗场面和对《西游记》元素的巧妙运用，在全球游戏圈引发了广泛关注。它有望为玩家带来沉浸式的西游世界体验，展现中国传统文化的魅力。 ②《西游记》在世界的传播：《西游记》是中国文学的瑰宝，早在19世纪就开始被翻译成多种语言传播到世界各地。它对其他国家的文学、影视、动漫等领域产生了深远影响，如日本的《七龙珠》就借鉴了《西游记》的部分人物形象和故事元素。 ③《西游记》的文学价值：《西游记》是中国古代第一部浪漫主义章回体长篇神魔小说，它以丰富奇特的艺术想象、生动曲折的故事情节、栩栩如生的人物形象、幽默诙谐的语言，构筑了一座独具特色的艺术宫殿。它与《红楼梦》《水浒传》《三国演义》并称为中国古典四大名著。 ④《西游记》中的佛教文化：小说中蕴含着丰富的佛教文化，如取经的主题体现了佛教的修行和觉悟思想，众多的佛教神祇和佛理教义也贯穿其中。它反映了当时社会的宗教信仰和文化氛围。 ⑤《西游记》衍生文化：除了常见的影视改编和俗语流传，《西游记》还衍生出了大量的绘画、雕塑、戏曲等艺术形式。在戏曲中，有京剧《大闹天宫》等经典剧目，以独特的表演形式展现了《西游记》的精彩故事。 实战演练 真题示例 Passage A （2025·江苏淮安·中考真题） (“I” am a horse, the main character in the novel.)

Can you sell the horse to me?’ he said. ‘OK! Take it,’ said the seller.”可知，这个人最终付了24英镑买这匹马。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The gentle touch and soft voice comforted me so much! They led me into a comfortable, clean stable, with plenty of food. After a meal, I lay down, thinking ‘I’m going to be very happy here.’”可知，这匹马对新家的环境和家人都很满意，由此可推断它喜欢这个新家。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据文章结尾“I’m going to be very happy here.”可知，这匹马认为自己会在新家过得很开心，因此接下来的故事很可能会讲述它在新家的幸福生活。故选D。 长难句解析 原句：（第二段第三句） I didn’t know if I would be lucky enough to meet a master who would treat me well. 译文：句意： 我不知道自己是否足够幸运，能遇到一位善待我的主人。 分析：本句是主从复合句。I didn't know是主句，if引导宾语从句，在从句中，I是主语，would be是谓语，lucky enough是表语，to meet a master是结果状语，who would treat me well是定语从句，修饰先行词master。 【译文】    马市是个有趣的地方。许多人到那里去卖马。你可以看到各种各样年轻健壮的马。也有又瘦又弱的马，它们因过度劳作而疲惫不堪。 有一天，卖主把我带到了那里。他想以高价把我卖掉。我不知道自己是否足够幸运，能遇到一位善待我的主人。 然后，一个声音温和的男人朝我们走来。他想出低价买下我，但卖主拒绝了。 不久之后，一个声音洪亮的高个子男人来了。他围着我转了一圈，我担心他会买下我。幸运的是，他走开了。 几分钟后，那个声音温和的男人回来了。再次见到他，我非常高兴。 “我出二十四英镑。你能把这匹马卖给我吗？”他说。 “行！牵走吧，”卖主说，“这匹马品质很好，如果你是买来干活的，它是个不错的选择。” 半小时后，我们沿着乡间小路前往新家，一直走到了城里。我的新家在一条狭窄的街道上。街道的一侧是一些破旧的小房子。另一侧则是一些马厩。 我们在一所房子前停了下来。我的新主人吹了声口哨。门开了。一位年轻的女士、一个小女孩和一个男孩走了出来。他们都看着我。 “它温顺吗，爸爸？”小女孩问道。 “温顺，多莉，像猫一样温顺。你可以摸摸它。” 她摸了摸我的肩膀，甜甜地低语道：“欢迎你，我的新朋友。” 那温柔的抚摸和轻柔的声音让我倍感安慰！他们把我领进了一个舒适、干净的马厩，里面有充足的食物。饱餐一顿后，我躺了下来，心想：“我在这里会非常幸福的。” ——改编自《黑骏马》 Passage B （2025·江苏扬州·中考真题）Inside the hall, the door was shut, and the key lay on the glass stand. Poor Alice, who was about one foot high after taking some drink, found a cake on the floor. She went up and soon ate all the cake. “How strange! How tall I am!” said Alice. She looked down at her feet—they seemed so far off. In fact, she was now over nine feet high, which meant she still couldn’t get through the door. She sat down, and had a good cry till there was a large pool all round her. Suddenly, she heard the sound of feet not far off. It was the Rabbit that had come back, with a fan in his hand. Alice felt so in need of help from someone, that when he came near, she called out, “If you please, sir....” The Rabbit started as if shot, dropped the fan and ran off as fast as possible. Alice picked up the fan and as the hall was hot, she fanned herself. “Dear, dear! How strange all things are today! I do wish to get out of the hall! ” she said. Then she noticed herself in the glass—she was now not more than two feet high, and still shrinking quite fast. That was the fan! She realized this and dropped it at once, or she would shrink to the size of an ant soon. Alice was in a sad fear at the quick change. “Things are worse,” said the poor girl, “I was never so small as this. How can I get out?” As she said these words, she lost her footsteps and was up to her chin (下巴) in salt water—her own tears. Just then Alice noticed a mouse swimming towards her. “Will it be useful now to speak to this mouse? All things are so strange here. I should think maybe it can talk. At least there’s no harm to try.” So she swam up. —— Adapted from Alice in Wonderland 1．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Alice ate up a cake. b.

At least there’s no harm to try”可知，爱丽丝试图与老鼠交流。通过以上内容可推测出，她一直在努力摆脱困境。故选C。 长难句解析 原句：（第三段第三句）Alice felt so in need of help from someone, that when he came near, she called out, “If you please, sir....” 译文：爱丽丝非常需要有人来帮她一把，所以当他走近时，她大声喊道：“先生，劳驾……” 分析：本句是so...that...引导的结果状语从句。主句是Alice felt so in need of help from someone，是主系表结构；that后面引导结果状语从句，在这个结果状语从句中，when he came near是时间状语从句，she called out是主句，“If you please, sir....”是直接引语作宾语。 【译文】   大厅里，门紧闭着，钥匙放在玻璃架上。可怜的爱丽丝，喝了些东西后身高只有大约一英尺，她在地板上发现了一块蛋糕。她走过去，很快就把蛋糕吃光了。 “真奇怪！我长得多高啊！”爱丽丝说。她低头看着自己的脚——它们似乎远在天边。实际上，她现在已经超过九英尺高了，这意味着她仍然无法穿过那扇门。她坐下来，大哭了一场，直到她周围形成了一大片水潭。 突然，她听到不远处有脚步声。原来是那只兔子回来了，手里拿着一把扇子。爱丽丝觉得自己非常需要有人帮忙，所以当兔子走近时，她喊道：“劳驾，先生……”兔子像被枪击中一样吓了一跳，扔下扇子，尽可能快地跑掉了。 爱丽丝捡起扇子，由于大厅里很热，她给自己扇起了风。“天哪，天哪！今天所有的事情都好奇怪啊！我真希望能走出这个大厅！”她说。 然后她在镜子里看到了自己——她现在身高还不到两英尺，而且还在迅速变矮。原来是这把扇子的缘故！她意识到这一点，立刻扔掉了扇子，否则她很快就会缩成蚂蚁那么小。 爱丽丝对这快速的变化感到极度恐惧。“情况更糟了，”可怜的女孩说，“我从来没有这么小过。我怎么出去呢？”她刚说完这些话，就脚下一滑，咸水没过了她的下巴——那是她自己的眼泪。 就在这时，爱丽丝注意到一只老鼠正朝她游过来。 “现在和这只老鼠说话会有用吗？这里所有的事情都很奇怪。我想也许它会说话。至少试一试也没什么坏处。”于是她游了过去。 ——改编自《爱丽丝梦游仙境》 模拟演练 Passage A （2025·山东青岛·模拟预测）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The Witch (女巫) wanted to 1 the Silver Shoes which the girl Dorothy always wore.

I was the third of five sons. My childhood was very happy. I liked going to school and learning new things. ▲ One day, Father asked, “Lemuel, have you thought about your future? I think you would be a good doctor.” I wanted to please him, so I said, “Yes, Father. I’ll go to Cambridge University and study medicine.” But as I spoke, I was thinking, “At university, I can also learn things that will be useful to a sailor.” After several years of study, I became a doctor. Not long after, I asked my sweetheart, Mary, to marry me. Before long, we had children, a boy and a girl. They gave us great joy. I enjoyed being a doctor for the first few years. But then I became bored, and ideas of travel filled my mind. I imagined going to far-off places and seeing wonderful new things. “Mary,” I said one day, “I need more adventures in my life. The captain of a ship about to sail has offered me a job as the ship’s doctor. I don’t know how long the journey will take, but I promise I will return. And when I do, I’ll tell you and the children all about my adventures.” So in 1699, I set sail on the Antelope from Bristol. That city is a large and very old port in the southwest of England. The captain was a good man and had sailed a great deal! “Welcome aboard. Doctor Gulliver,” he said, “First we’ll be sailing down the Atlantic Ocean and around the coast of Africa. Then we’ll sail through the Indian Ocean to the South Seas.” Our journey went well until one morning, somewhere near Tasmania in the South Pacific Ocean. “I don’t like the look of those clouds,” the captain said, “I think a storm is coming.” Within an hour, a big storm began. The sea rose in great, angry waves much taller than the Antelope. The wind, now as strong as a hurricane, made a terrible sound. “The wind is blowing the ship off course!” shouted the captain. “Look out!” Suddenly, with a loud crack, the Antelope hit some rocks and broke in half. The sailors fell into the sea. Many of them could not swim. The ship sank quickly, and I suppose everyone but me drowned. —Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 1．Which sentence can be put into the blank ▲ in the first Paragraph?

The city had disappeared. It was now day time, and there was snow on the ground. “I know where we are!” Scrooge shouted. “I was born here and lived here as a boy.” He began to have memories of his childhood. A tear (眼泪) came into his eye. “If you remember this place,” the spirit said, “you may now lead the way.” They walked along the road until a little town could be seen ahead with its bridge, church, and river. Some small horses came towards them with boys upon their backs. When the boys came nearer, Scrooge recognized each of them and could call out their names. He felt so happy to see them all again. All these boys shouted to each other until the fields were full of their laughter. “We are now at the school,” said the spirit. “Only one child is there, left alone by the others.” Hearing what he said, Scrooge burst into tears. They walked through the school house until they came to a room that was empty except for a small boy sitting at a desk, reading. The room seemed very old and needed to be repaired. The spirit pointed to the boy. Scrooge looked at the boy, sat down and couldn’t help crying. It was Scrooge when he was young. Suddenly, a man wearing strange clothes stood outside the window. He was leading a horse. “It’s Ali Baba!” Scrooge shouted excitedly. “It’s dear, old, honest Ali Baba! Yes, yes, I remember.” Scrooge remembered how lonely he had been as a child. “Poor boy!” he said, and tears came into his eyes again. “I wish,” he said, putting his hands in his pocket and looking around him after drying his eyes, “but it’s too late now.” “What do you wish?” asked the spirit. “There was a boy singing a Christmas carol at my door last night.

Most readers know that his real name was Sammel Longhorne Clemens, but how many know where the pen name “Mark Twain” came from? The answer shows Clemen’s colourful early life before he became a writer. “Mark Twain” was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms (6 feet) deep. “Twain” is an old-fashion way of saying “two”. Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in humorous Life on the Mississippi(1883). The famous river was an important theme in many of his works. With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading and thinking, which greatly helped him with his writing. On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called”local colour” because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs. Thisgiftis very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today.The Adventure of Tom Sawyer(1876) and its follow-up(后来的)The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Which many people call “The Great American Novel”. The most amazing invention in the book is the voice of Huck himself. Hunk did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well. 1．Who will the American will honour this year? A．A famous musician called Tom Sawyer. B．A talent dancer from Mississipi. C．A wonderful novelThe Adventure of Tom Sawyer. D．Sammel Clemens, a well-known writer. 2．Why is the Mississippi so important in Mark Twain’s works? A．Because Twain’s hometown is near the river. B．Because Mark Twain once worked on the river in his early life. C．Because Mark Twain is interested in rivers. D．Because Tom and Hunk are Twain’s friends. 3．What does the underlined word “gift” mean in the passage? A．Twain’s talent for self-teaching. B．Twain’s “local colour” writing style. C．Twain’s good sense of humour D．Twain’s experiences as a ship pilot. 4．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Mark twain graduated form a famous university. B．Tom Sawyer was once a ship pilot. C．Mark twain is a master of American literature. D．Huck had much schooling and used language in a spoken style. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本篇主要讲述马克·吐温早年的生活以及对他的作品的影响。 1．细节理解题。根据This year the US will honour(纪念) one of the country’s most famous writers―Mark Twain (1835-1910).

If you want to improve your reading ability in English, the following are just for you. Choose right reading materials (材料). There are textbooks and graded readers, but there are also a lot more books you can read. 2 Here is a good rule to follow: choose reading materials where you understand at least 80% of the content. 3 Reading can both introduce you to new words and teach you how to use them. Many words in English are often used together. Read groups of words, or words that go together. 4 Don’t try to understand everything. As you’re practicing your reading ability, you need to accept the fact that you might not understand every single word, and that’s OK. 5 It’s more important to get the big picture of what you are reading. And you can go back to check the new things you don’t understand later. A．Try to read word groups. B．Your brain can’t learn so many new things at once. C．You can choose some famous English books to read. D．Don’t choose a book that is too easy or too difficult. E．That will help you better understand how to use new words. F．But it’s something you’ll have to do on your language learning journey. 【答案】1．F 2．D 3．A 4．E 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要阐述了学好英语阅读虽有难度，但在语言学习中十分重要，并给出了提升英语阅读能力的实用建议。 1．根据“Learning how to read well in English might not be an easy task.”及“Reading well in English is useful for many reasons...”可知，前文提到英语阅读不易，后文强调其重要性，选项F“但这是你在语言学习旅程中必须要做的事”通过转折，指出英语阅读在语言学习中的必要性，衔接上下文，故选F。 2．根据“Choose right reading materials.”及“Here is a good rule to follow: choose reading materials where you understand at least 80% of the content.”可知，该段落围绕选择合适阅读材料展开，选项D“不要选择太容易或太难的书”，与后文“理解至少80%内容”的内容呼应，故选D。 3．根据“Reading can both introduce you to new words...
