专题05 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与自我——个人经历 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·山东威海·期末）I was sitting in a Beijing cafe drinking a coffee with my friend. We were at a table looking out a window into a hutong. Many people were walking past us, but one Chinese couple stopped and stared. I smiled and waved back. Then, to my surprise, they took a photo of us! The lady even came up to the window and posed in front of us for another photo. It was very funny and we were all laughing. A few weeks later, I was visiting the beautiful coastal city of Xiapu with two friends. People stared at us and wanted to say hello everywhere we went. It was like we were famous people! So why were we getting so much attention? I think it’s because even though there are many foreigners, like me, living in China today, they are still kind of “rare (罕见的)”. This is especially true in smaller cities, where there are fewer foreigners. This is probably why we were so popular in Xiapu, but didn’t get as much attention in Beijing. But China is not the only place this happens. I have traveled to India, Brazil, Peru and even the United States and been treated differently, too. Brazilians and US people always want to talk with you, but Indians are by far the most curious (有好奇心的). When I visited, children and adults were always staring and taking pictures. The best way to deal with it is just to smile, laugh and enjoy it! 1．What did the writer do when the couple first stared at him in Beijing? A．He looked at other people. B．He smiled and waved to them. C．He posed for another photo. 2．What happened when the writer visited Xiapu? A．He became famous. B．He said sorry to everyone. C．He caught the attention of many people. 3．Why did the writer think they were more popular in Xiapu than Beijing? A．Because Xiapu sees fewer foreigners. B．Because people in Xiapu are more friendly. C．Because many foreigners work in coastal cities like Xiapu. 4．When the writer traveled to the US, people there enjoyed ______. A．talking with him B．staring at him C．laughing at him 5．What’s the best title of this passage? A．Traveling in China B．A Foreigner’s Experience in China C．A Foreign Traveler’s Feelings 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．A 5．C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者作为外国人在中国（北京和霞浦）及国外（印度、巴西、秘鲁和美国）因罕见而备受关注、被围观拍照的经历，并建议以微笑和享受的心态来应对。 1．细节理解题。根据文章“...one Chinese couple stopped and stared.

He then finished it in just two days. “Dad, why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad?” He asked me with tears in his eyes. What book was so attractive and made a boy so sad? I wanted to read it. The story happened on a distant island, where a robot named Roz learns to survive (存活) and communicate with the island’s creatures (生物), and becomes a part of the community. For my son, it was the first book he found by himself, the first to influence him with the mix of sad and happy things. When I finished the book, I knew why Henry loved it. In our discussion, he said how Brown’s pictures and words made the story seem real. When talking about its final scenes, where Roz leaves to repair her injured body, Henry cried again. His reading in the past was mostly about happy endings, but this book let him know about the beauty of complex (复杂的) feelings. I tried to tell him how sadness could improve the meaning of happiness, but couldn’t make him fully believe. After our discussion, Henry bought The Wild Robot Escapes and fell in love with it. He read the first two books over and over again. So you can imagine how excited he was when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot Protects. There is something special about Roz: her physical slowness and confusion (迷惑) about life showed through her eyes and downturned mouth. Roz’s story shows the difficulties of surviving in a strange place, much like a child’s growth journey. Readers love Roz. They learn from her. Even better, they grow when they are reading about her. Roz gave Henry the power to overcome the sad parts of the first book, getting him ready to appreciate that. It made him understand that sometimes, sadness is not a bad thing to feel. It helped readers get more. 1．Why did the writer want to read The Wild Robot? A．Because it’s a book with a sad ending. B．Because the writer was interested in reading books.

C．Three times. D．Many times. 4．What might Roz’s story make readers think of? A．A scientist’s study. B．A reader’s changes. C．A child’s growth journey. D．A robot’s development. 5．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Henry’s personal growth with reading. B．The influence of a father’s reading on his son.

Take your time.” And so I did, but I still couldn’t correctly pronounce my Chinese name that was given by the teacher. I was so nervous on my first day of learning Chinese! I took Chinese classes during my summer vacation. Every morning, I walked for 25 minutes to the class while having a Chinese pancake on the way. Learning Spanish at school was an easy job for me because I could speak French and Italian, which helped me with it. However, learning Chinese was difficult at first. As a boy born and raised up in America, I knew nothing about the language and had no experience of learning the language. I chose it mainly because my goal was to teach and work internationally. As the classes went on, I slowly found that I was making progress. My ten years of playing the piano has allowed me to perform for others. My several years of writing has allowed me to become a school reporter. I knew that my Chinese classes had led me to speak Chinese better. As the teachers helped me build up my confidence, I soon began tasting the sweetness. What did my summer really taste like? It tasted like the Chinese food that, for the first time, I did not order in English, my mother language. 1．Where did the writer eat breakfast during the summer vacation?

They try their best at something but can’t make it. “They don’t have effective learning methods. This is the main reason for their difficulties,” says Zhang Qin, a famous English teacher in Beijing No. 4 High School. Zhang Qin thinks that hard work is not enough for middle school students.

Born in Anhui Province, he had ever studied physics in America. After Deng’s graduation, he didn’t accept the high-paid positions and superb research conditions provided by the Americans. Instead, he returned to Beijing in 1950 to work on nuclear research (核能研究). Deng faced great difficulties at that time because there was no such research information to learn from and few scientists. It took them about a month to finish a stage of calculation and about a year to calculate it nine times. In October 1964, under Deng’s leadership, China successfully tested its first atomic bomb (原子弹). In June 1967, China’s first hydrogen (氢) bomb test was also carried out successfully. In 1979, an accident happened during one experiment, Deng picked up the broken pieces of the bomb himself instead of sending his team just because he knew the danger. Deng’s wife, a doctor, learned that Deng had touched the broken pieces of the atomic bomb, and ordered him to return to Beijing for a full body checking. The results showed that he had been badly hurt by deadly nuclear radiation (辐射). However, he still chose to return to the test site and continued to solve the problem himself.

After reading it, many people are moved by Yang’s courage. Yang was 38 years old when he first went into space alone on Shenzhou V on October 15, 2003, making China the third country to master manned space technology. In his article, he talked about some dangerous moments when he didn’t think he could travel back. “When the rocket (火箭) was at a height of about 30-40 kilometers above the ground, I felt it started to vibrate violently (剧烈地震动) and that made me really uncomfortable. I thought I was going to die,” he said. The very dangerous moment lasted for 26 seconds. When it was over, he felt like he was reborn. Yang described the mysterious knocking sounds from the outside in the article. He still does not know where they came from. He also described what the earth, his country and his city looked like from space. “I flew over Beijing and saw the mountains during the day and the lights at night. My family and friends live there.” Yang shared another interesting story in the article. After some tries, he still couldn’t see the Great Wall, though many people thought astronauts could see it from space. After he returned to the earth happily, Yang told scientists about the vibration and they solved the problem. Later, more Chinese astronauts went to space.

Once, Mrs Ghent held a concert for her students. I played near the end of it. After I played a while, I forgot the music. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t think of it. So I had to stop and looked at the pianist’s music. When the whole concert was over, I cried hiding in my overcoat. Mrs Ghent came to comfort me. Then she told us about a coming concert, and she hoped I would go there with her. I remember that the concert was on my birthday in March. It was great, as Mischa Elman was going to perform at Carnegie Hall. My teacher decided to buy the best ticket as my birthday present. Carnegie Hall is quite beautiful with all the lights on. I had never been in such a concert hall before, and was amazed by the size as well. I don’t remember what Elman played. I only remember that his playing was beautiful. I have seen films of him in recent years, and have been moved by his performance, but I don’t remember the music he played that night. What I remember most is Mrs Ghent whispering (耳语) to me from time to time that he had forgotten something or played a wrong note, or made some other kind of mistakes. When I teach my students to play the violin now, I often tell those who are afraid of making mistakes that if they aren’t going to make a mistake, they will never play beautiful music. 1．Why did the writer cry when the concert was over? A．Because the concert was such a big success. B．Because she felt sad and sorry about her performance. C．Because she found she didn’t have a gift for music. D．Because no one tried to help her during her performance. 2．What did Mrs Ghent take the writer to that coming concert for? A．To celebrate her birthday with classmates. B．To show how she cared about her. C．To give her another chance to perform there. D．To teach her an important lesson in similar situations. 3．What did the writer most probably learn at Carnegie Hall that day? A．There are no really great performers. B．Even the best players make mistakes. C．Mischa Elman is not a good performer. D．That performance surprises everyone. 4．Which word can we best describe Mrs Ghent? A．Serious. B．Strict. C．Careless. D．Kind-hearted. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．D 【解析】本文主要讲述了作者在一次演出中出了错，她痛苦不已，她的老师后来利用一次音乐会的机会让她明白，著名的演奏家也有犯错的时候，后来作者当了老师，她鼓励学生们不要害怕犯错，因为只有通过犯错才能演奏出真正动听的音乐。 1． 细节理解题。根据“After I played a while, I forgot the music. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t think of it. So I had to stop and looked at the pianist’s music. When the whole concert was over, I cried hiding in my overcoat.”可知，作者在演奏时忘记了乐谱，表现不佳，所以音乐会结束后她感到伤心和愧疚而哭泣。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“What I remember most is Mrs Ghent whispering (耳语) to me from time to time that he had forgotten something or played a wrong note, or made some other kind of mistakes.”及“When I teach my students to play the violin now, I often tell those who are afraid of making mistakes that if they aren’t going to make a mistake, they will never play beautiful music.”可知，老师带作者去音乐会是想让她明白即使是优秀的演奏者也会犯错，从而在类似情况下给她上重要的一课。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“What I remember most is Mrs Ghent whispering (耳语) to me from time to time that he had forgotten something or played a wrong note, or made some other kind of mistakes.”可知，作者从老师的话中了解到即使像Mischa Elman这样优秀的演奏者也会犯错，这就是她在那里最可能学到的。故选B。 4．观点态度题。根据“Mrs Ghent came to comfort me. Then she told us about a coming concert, and she hoped I would go there with her.”可知，作者演奏失误后老师前来安慰她，还带她去听音乐会并让她明白犯错是正常的道理，这些都体现了老师心地善良。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·浙江台州·期末） On April 26, 2022, Italian traveler Vienna Cammarota set off from Venice. The 72-year-old then planned to go to China on foot. This meant she would travel about 22,000 kilometers and walk through 15 countries. The journey would be full of challenges, but she wasn’t afraid. The traveler carried only a backpack. “I also have a lot of passion with me,” she said. On August 29, 2024, she finally set foot on China’s soil. Cammarota’s trip was inspired by Marco Polo. The Italian explorer traveled to China along the ancient Silk Road more than 700 years ago. For her, the journey was more than following Marco Polo’s footsteps. She wanted to see the impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (“一带一路”倡议). By sharing her experiences, she now hopes her travels will help people in the West see the true beauty of China. Cammarota’s interest in China began more than 20 years ago. A Chinese student stayed in her home and told her a lot about the country’s rich cultural heritage (文化遗产). Cammarota plans to spend two years in China. She will visit key stops along the ancient Silk Road: first Kashgar (喀什), Dunhuang, and then the historic city of Xi’an. After that she’ll visit Suzhou, the city described as the “Venice of the East” by Marco Polo. She plans to end her trip in Beijing to mark the 750th anniversary of Marco Polo’s arrival to China. Cammarota calls herself an ambassador (大使) of cultural exchange and a modern-day Marco Polo. “I want people to know about the Silk Road,” she said. “I also want to send a message to women my age: It’s never too late to pursue your dreams.” 1．How long did it take Cammarota to reach China from Venice? A．About two years. B．About two and a half years. C．About three years. D．About three and a half years. 2．What did Vienna Cammarota carry to China? A．A backpack. B．A bicycle. C．Some soil. D．Some silk. 3．Which of the following probably shows Cammarota’s travelling route (线路) in China? A．B．C． D． 4．What can we learn about Vienna Cammarota from the passage? A．She was nervous about how challenging the journey would be. B．She wants to encourage women of all ages to follow their dreams. C．She became interested in China after living in a Chinese friend’s home. D．She hopes to encourage a better understanding between the East and West. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．D 【解析】本文主要讲述了72 岁的意大利旅行者维也纳・卡马罗塔于2022年4月从威尼斯出发，徒步约22,000公里，历经约两年半抵达中国。她受马可・波罗启发，旨在见证“一带一路”倡议影响，促进西方对中国的了解。在中国，她计划按特定路线旅行两年，还鼓励同龄女性追逐梦想。 1．细节理解题。根据“On April 26, 2022, Italian traveler Vienna Cammarota set off from Venice”和“On August 29, 2024, she finally set foot on China’s soil.”可知，她于2022年4月26日从威尼斯启程，在2024年8月29日踏上中国的土地。故大约是两年半的时间。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“The traveler carried only a backpack”可知，维也纳・卡马罗塔前往中国时携带了一个背包。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“She will visit key stops along the ancient Silk Road: first Kashgar (喀什), Dunhuang, and then the historic city of Xi’an. After that she’ll visit Suzhou...She plans to end her trip in Beijing”可知，她将参观古丝绸之路上的重要站点：首先是喀什、敦煌，然后是历史名城西安。之后她会前往被马可・波罗称为‘东方威尼斯’的苏州。她计划在北京结束旅程，所以正确的路线是喀什—敦煌—西安—苏州—北京。结合中国地图可知，此处选项A地图符合。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“By sharing her experiences, she now hopes her travels will help people in the West see the true beauty of China.”可知，通过分享她的经历，她现在希望她的旅行能帮助西方的人们看到中国真正的魅力，故可推测出，她希望促进东西方之间更好的相互理解。故选D。 主题02 人与社会——叙事忆旧 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·江苏盐城·期末）Holmes rubbed (摩擦) his hands together excitedly. His eyes shone. “Tell us your story,” he said. Miss Morstan began her story and we listened. “My father,” she began, “was a captain (上尉) in the army. When I was very young, he was sent to India. My mother was dead and I had no other relatives in England. So, while my father was away, I was sent to school. When I was seventeen, I received a letter from my father.

He asked me to meet him there.” “I was very happy and excited about seeing my dear father again. I went to London and arrived at the hotel. I asked for Captain Morstan, my father. But I was told by the hotel manager that my father was not there. He had gone out the night before and not returned. I waited all day and all night, but my father didn’t come back to the hotel. Finally, I went to the police. They advertised (登广告) for Captain Morstan in all the newspapers, but without success. I never saw my dear father again.” “Four years after my father disappeared,” continued Miss Morstan, “I saw an advertisement in the newspaper. The date was 4th May 1882. To my surprise, the advertisement asked for the address of Miss Mary Morstan. It said that if I advertised my address, I would receive some very good news.” “What did you do?” asked Holmes. “I advertised my address in the same newspaper.

Look.” She opened a flat box and showed us six beautiful pearls. “________” asked Holmes. “Nothing at all,” replied Miss Morstan.

So Jack took off his T-shirt and packed it carefully round the hawk.

He stopped and began to talk to my master. “That’s a fine horse,”said the boy. “But can he run fast?” “Of course, he can,” said my master. “He is young, strong, and full of energy. But I don’t push him hard without a reason.” The boy laughed. “What’s the point of a strong horse if you don’t make him run fast? You’re wasting him!” My master looked up with a serious expression. “It is never a waste to treat an animal well.” he said. A horse like this will serve you loyally (忠诚地) if you treat him kindly. Overwork or bad treatment will break his spirit and destroy him. A good horse needs trust and care to stay strong.” The boy shook his shoulders and walked away, looking a bit confused (迷惑). But I felt proud and happy. My master knew how to manage me. He taught me to carry myself with confidence and to follow orders without fear. I loved to run freely in the fields, feeling the wind rush past my ears and the grass under my hooves (蹄). But I also knew I could trust my master not to hurt me. Later that day, another horse told me about his old owner, who often hit him and made him pull heavy things up high hills. “My legs are weaker now because of it,” he said sadly. “I wish I had a master like yours. He seems to really care for you.” Hearing his story made me feel even more thankful for the kindness I had experienced.

Clara was drinking a glass of juice in the garden. The grass was long and her mom was cutting the grass with a lawn mower (割草机). Suddenly, the lawn mower stopped working.

Her mom had a turtle (乌龟) in her hand! “I think I broke its leg.” she said to Clara, “I’m really sorry. Will you help me take care of it until it gets well?” Clara felt bad for the little turtle. Turtles move slowly, so it probably could not run away when it saw the lawn mower coming. And Clara’s mom could not see the turtle in the long grass! It was a mistake, but Clara and her mom would make up for it. Clara named the turtle Phillip. She and her mom took Phillip to the vet (兽医) . The vet took an X-ray of Phillip’s leg, which showed that it was broken. The turtle got a bandage (包扎) for his broken leg. The vet told Clara that Phillip needed plants to eat, water to drink and a place to live in. Clara took the turtle home and took good care of him. She brought him fruit and leaves to eat and kept his water bowl clean. Phillip seemed to feel better. After eight weeks, Clara and her mom took Phillip back to the vet, who said that his leg was healed. Because of the good news, Clara had to let Phillip go, though she wasn’t able to bear to be apart with him. When Clara got home, she kissed Phillip, said goodbye, and let him go.

We were at a table looking out a window into a hutong. Many people were walking past us, but one Chinese couple stopped and stared. I smiled and waved back. Then, to my surprise, they took a photo of us! The lady even came up to the window and posed in front of us for another photo. It was very funny and we were all laughing. A few weeks later, I was visiting the beautiful coastal city of Xiapu with two friends. People stared at us and wanted to say hello everywhere we went. It was like we were famous people! So why were we getting so much attention? I think it’s because even though there are many foreigners, like me, living in China today, they are still kind of “rare (罕见的)”. This is especially true in smaller cities, where there are fewer foreigners. This is probably why we were so popular in Xiapu, but didn’t get as much attention in Beijing. But China is not the only place this happens. I have traveled to India, Brazil, Peru and even the United States and been treated differently, too. Brazilians and US people always want to talk with you, but Indians are by far the most curious (有好奇心的). When I visited, children and adults were always staring and taking pictures. The best way to deal with it is just to smile, laugh and enjoy it! 1．What did the writer do when the couple first stared at him in Beijing? A．He looked at other people. B．He smiled and waved to them.

C．He caught the attention of many people. 3．Why did the writer think they were more popular in Xiapu than Beijing? A．Because Xiapu sees fewer foreigners. B．Because people in Xiapu are more friendly.

A．talking with him B．staring at him C．laughing at him 5．What’s the best title of this passage? A．Traveling in China B．A Foreigner’s Experience in China C．A Foreign Traveler’s Feelings Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·湖北十堰·期末）Passant teaches Chinese at the Confucius Institute of Cairo University (开罗大学孔子学院) in Egypt.

He then finished it in just two days. “Dad, why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad?” He asked me with tears in his eyes. What book was so attractive and made a boy so sad? I wanted to read it. The story happened on a distant island, where a robot named Roz learns to survive (存活) and communicate with the island’s creatures (生物), and becomes a part of the community. For my son, it was the first book he found by himself, the first to influence him with the mix of sad and happy things. When I finished the book, I knew why Henry loved it. In our discussion, he said how Brown’s pictures and words made the story seem real. When talking about its final scenes, where Roz leaves to repair her injured body, Henry cried again. His reading in the past was mostly about happy endings, but this book let him know about the beauty of complex (复杂的) feelings. I tried to tell him how sadness could improve the meaning of happiness, but couldn’t make him fully believe. After our discussion, Henry bought The Wild Robot Escapes and fell in love with it. He read the first two books over and over again. So you can imagine how excited he was when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot Protects. There is something special about Roz: her physical slowness and confusion (迷惑) about life showed through her eyes and downturned mouth. Roz’s story shows the difficulties of surviving in a strange place, much like a child’s growth journey. Readers love Roz. They learn from her. Even better, they grow when they are reading about her. Roz gave Henry the power to overcome the sad parts of the first book, getting him ready to appreciate that. It made him understand that sometimes, sadness is not a bad thing to feel. It helped readers get more. 1．Why did the writer want to read The Wild Robot? A．Because it’s a book with a sad ending. B．Because the writer was interested in reading books. C．Because the book seemed attractive and made his kid cry. D．Because it’s one of Peter Brown’s middle-grade trilogies. 2．What influence did this book have on Henry? A．It made him read faster. B．It made him only like sad stories. C．It made him stop reading other books. D．It made him know the beauty of complex feelings. 3．How many times did Henry read the first two books? A．Once. B．Twice. C．Three times. D．Many times. 4．What might Roz’s story make readers think of? A．A scientist’s study. B．A reader’s changes. C．A child’s growth journey.

Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·安徽芜湖·期末）“Hey,” said the boy, whose name I couldn’t remember, sitting next to me. “Don’t worry. Take your time.” And so I did, but I still couldn’t correctly pronounce my Chinese name that was given by the teacher. I was so nervous on my first day of learning Chinese! I took Chinese classes during my summer vacation. Every morning, I walked for 25 minutes to the class while having a Chinese pancake on the way. Learning Spanish at school was an easy job for me because I could speak French and Italian, which helped me with it. However, learning Chinese was difficult at first. As a boy born and raised up in America, I knew nothing about the language and had no experience of learning the language. I chose it mainly because my goal was to teach and work internationally. As the classes went on, I slowly found that I was making progress. My ten years of playing the piano has allowed me to perform for others. My several years of writing has allowed me to become a school reporter. I knew that my Chinese classes had led me to speak Chinese better. As the teachers helped me build up my confidence, I soon began tasting the sweetness. What did my summer really taste like? It tasted like the Chinese food that, for the first time, I did not order in English, my mother language. 1．Where did the writer eat breakfast during the summer vacation?

A．①②④ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②③ Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·重庆长寿·期末）Li Hao is an 8th grade student in Shapingba, Chongqing. She studies hard at English. Every day, she listens carefully in class and does many exercises after class. However, she can’t get good grades, so she is very sad. “Why doesn’t my hard work pay off (得到回报)?” Li asks. Lots of middle school students are now facing this problem. They try their best at something but can’t make it. “They don’t have effective learning methods. This is the main reason for their difficulties,” says Zhang Qin, a famous English teacher in Beijing No. 4 High School. Zhang Qin thinks that hard work is not enough for middle school students. She says, “Students have more subjects now. They should learn in many different ways. The more you use new words, the better you can remember them. For example, making sentences with new words is an effective way to learn.” Chen Xi, 13, of Shandong, has his own method of learning English. “I study hard at school, and I also like watching CGTN (中国国际电视台). I can always see the English words from my textbook on it,” says Chen, “It’s really useful.” Lin Pingyi, 13, of Shanghai, has a habit of reading. “I like reading English novels like The Old Man and the Sea.

Born in Anhui Province, he had ever studied physics in America. After Deng’s graduation, he didn’t accept the high-paid positions and superb research conditions provided by the Americans. Instead, he returned to Beijing in 1950 to work on nuclear research (核能研究). Deng faced great difficulties at that time because there was no such research information to learn from and few scientists. It took them about a month to finish a stage of calculation and about a year to calculate it nine times. In October 1964, under Deng’s leadership, China successfully tested its first atomic bomb (原子弹). In June 1967, China’s first hydrogen (氢) bomb test was also carried out successfully. In 1979, an accident happened during one experiment, Deng picked up the broken pieces of the bomb himself instead of sending his team just because he knew the danger. Deng’s wife, a doctor, learned that Deng had touched the broken pieces of the atomic bomb, and ordered him to return to Beijing for a full body checking. The results showed that he had been badly hurt by deadly nuclear radiation (辐射). However, he still chose to return to the test site and continued to solve the problem himself. At the age of 62, Deng died because of the radiation. As a national hero, he was presented the Two Bombs and One Satellite Merit Medal in 1999. 1．When was Deng Jiaxian born? A．In 1950. B．In 1924.

Yang was 38 years old when he first went into space alone on Shenzhou V on October 15, 2003, making China the third country to master manned space technology. In his article, he talked about some dangerous moments when he didn’t think he could travel back. “When the rocket (火箭) was at a height of about 30-40 kilometers above the ground, I felt it started to vibrate violently (剧烈地震动) and that made me really uncomfortable. I thought I was going to die,” he said. The very dangerous moment lasted for 26 seconds. When it was over, he felt like he was reborn. Yang described the mysterious knocking sounds from the outside in the article. He still does not know where they came from. He also described what the earth, his country and his city looked like from space. “I flew over Beijing and saw the mountains during the day and the lights at night. My family and friends live there.” Yang shared another interesting story in the article. After some tries, he still couldn’t see the Great Wall, though many people thought astronauts could see it from space.

Once, Mrs Ghent held a concert for her students. I played near the end of it. After I played a while, I forgot the music. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t think of it. So I had to stop and looked at the pianist’s music. When the whole concert was over, I cried hiding in my overcoat. Mrs Ghent came to comfort me. Then she told us about a coming concert, and she hoped I would go there with her. I remember that the concert was on my birthday in March. It was great, as Mischa Elman was going to perform at Carnegie Hall. My teacher decided to buy the best ticket as my birthday present. Carnegie Hall is quite beautiful with all the lights on. I had never been in such a concert hall before, and was amazed by the size as well. I don’t remember what Elman played. I only remember that his playing was beautiful. I have seen films of him in recent years, and have been moved by his performance, but I don’t remember the music he played that night. What I remember most is Mrs Ghent whispering (耳语) to me from time to time that he had forgotten something or played a wrong note, or made some other kind of mistakes. When I teach my students to play the violin now, I often tell those who are afraid of making mistakes that if they aren’t going to make a mistake, they will never play beautiful music. 1．Why did the writer cry when the concert was over?

This meant she would travel about 22,000 kilometers and walk through 15 countries. The journey would be full of challenges, but she wasn’t afraid. The traveler carried only a backpack. “I also have a lot of passion with me,” she said. On August 29, 2024, she finally set foot on China’s soil. Cammarota’s trip was inspired by Marco Polo. The Italian explorer traveled to China along the ancient Silk Road more than 700 years ago. For her, the journey was more than following Marco Polo’s footsteps. She wanted to see the impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (“一带一路”倡议). By sharing her experiences, she now hopes her travels will help people in the West see the true beauty of China. Cammarota’s interest in China began more than 20 years ago. A Chinese student stayed in her home and told her a lot about the country’s rich cultural heritage (文化遗产). Cammarota plans to spend two years in China. She will visit key stops along the ancient Silk Road: first Kashgar (喀什), Dunhuang, and then the historic city of Xi’an. After that she’ll visit Suzhou, the city described as the “Venice of the East” by Marco Polo. She plans to end her trip in Beijing to mark the 750th anniversary of Marco Polo’s arrival to China.

So Jack took off his T-shirt and packed it carefully round the hawk. Then he carried it home. “I can’t take him into the house,” he thought. “My mum doesn’t like animals in the house!” Thinking for a while, Jack decided to hide the hawk in the garden shed. He secretly put the hawk down on the floor with his T-shirt. Looking at the hawk, he said, “It’s your home now. Call you Falco, OK?” In the early morning, Jack took some bread to feed Falco and went back to his room secretly. After breakfast, Jack went to the garden shed, holding a small bowl of water. In the shed, he found Falco sitting quietly in a corner and the bread was still on the floor. Falco’s eyes were open, but not bright now. Jack put the water in front of Falco. At first, Falco ignored it, then he began to drink. Jack sat quietly, looking at him, imagining Falco flying in the endless blue sky. But now he was trapped on the earth. “How can I help you return to the sky, Falco?” When Jack left the shed, his brother Jim was waiting for him outside. Jack had to tell his brother the truth. Then the brothers discussed how to feed Falco excitedly. They decided to get help from their friend Holly because she knew a lot about animals and nature. Later, the brothers went to Holly. Holly advised them to feed some meat to Falco. Over the next few days, Falco got much better. He always ate the food Jack and Jim brought and enjoyed the worms Jack dug up in the park. His feathers looked good, but he couldn’t fly. One morning, Holly checked Falco and said, “Falco is well enough to fly again!” Then they happily opened the door.

Passage 2（24-25九年级上·重庆·期末） One day, when I was standing in the cool shade (阴凉处) of a big tree and my master was carefully cleaning my feet, a boy came by with a big stick. He stopped and began to talk to my master. “That’s a fine horse,”said the boy. “But can he run fast?” “Of course, he can,” said my master. “He is young, strong, and full of energy. But I don’t push him hard without a reason.” The boy laughed. “What’s the point of a strong horse if you don’t make him run fast? You’re wasting him!” My master looked up with a serious expression. “It is never a waste to treat an animal well.” he said. A horse like this will serve you loyally (忠诚地) if you treat him kindly. Overwork or bad treatment will break his spirit and destroy him. A good horse needs trust and care to stay strong.” The boy shook his shoulders and walked away, looking a bit confused (迷惑). But I felt proud and happy. My master knew how to manage me. He taught me to carry myself with confidence and to follow orders without fear. I loved to run freely in the fields, feeling the wind rush past my ears and the grass under my hooves (蹄). But I also knew I could trust my master not to hurt me. Later that day, another horse told me about his old owner, who often hit him and made him pull heavy things up high hills. “My legs are weaker now because of it,” he said sadly. “I wish I had a master like yours. He seems to really care for you.” Hearing his story made me feel even more thankful for the kindness I had experienced. I realized then that not all horses were as lucky as I was, and I promised myself to work my best for my kind master. ——Black Beauty 1．How did the master feel when hearing the boy’s words?

The grass was long and her mom was cutting the grass with a lawn mower (割草机). Suddenly, the lawn mower stopped working. Clara’s mom looked upset and picked something up out of the grass. Clara wondered what was wrong and went closer. Her mom had a turtle (乌龟) in her hand! “I think I broke its leg.” she said to Clara, “I’m really sorry. Will you help me take care of it until it gets well?” Clara felt bad for the little turtle. Turtles move slowly, so it probably could not run away when it saw the lawn mower coming. And Clara’s mom could not see the turtle in the long grass! It was a mistake, but Clara and her mom would make up for it. Clara named the turtle Phillip. She and her mom took Phillip to the vet (兽医) . The vet took an X-ray of Phillip’s leg, which showed that it was broken. The turtle got a bandage (包扎) for his broken leg.
