But the door was closed, and the key to the door was on the glass table, and the table was now too high for her. Feeling very sad, Alice sat down and her eyes started to water. “Oh, don’t feel so sad, Alice,” she said. “Being sad will not help you.” Then she saw a small glass box on the floor, near the table. Alice took the box and opened it. In the box was a cake with the words “EAT ME” on it. “I’m going to eat it,” said Alice. “If I get bigger, I’ll take the key from the table.

I had to build my home soon, or spend another night up in a tree. Also, there was the food and other things that needed to be put in a safe place from animals and rain. I went back down the hill and found a river. This, I thought, would be a good place for me.“Here,” I thought, “I can get my drinking water, and over there is a cave, where I can put all the food.” And so, over the next month, I built my home. Most of it was made from sails I had taken from the ship. I built a table and a chair, too, and took a bed from one of the rooms on the ship. And last of all, I built a large wall around my home. I did this because it made me feel safer from animals and men. The walls were high, and there was no door. You had to climb a ladder to get in. Every night, before falling to sleep, tired with the day’s work, I had time to think. And every night, the same thoughts came. I thought about my friends, who had all been taken from me by the sea. Why was I not also taken? Was I lucky to be alive, here, alone, on this island? Was I alone? Were there other people here? Were they dangerous to me?

No one had ever written to him before. Who would? He had no friends or other relatives. But here it was, a letter for him, with just a simple address: “Hurry up! What are you doing, checking for letter bombs (炸弹)?” Uncle Vernon laughed at his own joke. Harry went back into the kitchen, still holding the letter. He handed Uncle Vernon the bill and the postcard.

They look like real fish swimming in water. A group of clever teenagers from Shenzhen Yangang Middle School used artificial intelligence (AI) to breathe life into these paper lanterns. “In a fish-lantern dance, dancers carry lanterns and move like fish in their performance, and this needs lots of practice,” says Jiang Jiahan, 17, one of the lantern’s inventors. Jiang says his team wants to create an AI-driven fish lantern that can move on its own. Then it will be easier for more people to join in and enjoy the traditional performance art. The fish-lantern dance is a traditional cultural treasure in Sha Tau Kok, in Shenzhen’s Yantian district (区), where Jiang’s school sits. At Yangang Middle School, students are supposed to learn all subjects and job skills. Many students, like Jiang and his friends, join the science group to improve their skills. Tan Wenbo, 18, who is working hard on the AI, explains that a special part on the head of a lantern can recognize (识别) different things. Then it sends what it sees to a circuit board (电路板). The circuit board, connected to two small motors (马达) at the lantern’s head and tail, will drive the paper fish to move in different ways, just like a real fish does. Zhang Qiang, a teacher helping with the invention, wants his students to have fun and learn about different things outside of class. He also wants them to bring our culture to life while discovering their own talents and interests. 1．What do the fish-shaped lanterns in the online video look like? A．They look like birds flying in the sky. B．They look like real fish swimming in water. C．They look like kites flying in the air. D．They look like balloons rising up. 2．Why do students at Yangang Middle School join the science group? A．To avoid learning all subjects. B．To develop their skills.

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.

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.

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.

Passage 2 （23-24九年级上·重庆九龙坡·期末） “Welcome to our new ‘classroom’!” said Chen Dong, one of the three astronauts of the Shenzhou XIV mission. They were giving a science class 400 kilometers above Earth on Oct 12. It was the third space class from the Tiangong space station, but the first one from the Wentian lab module (实验舱) since its launch in July. The former two classes were held in the Tianhe core module (核心舱). What does the new “classroom” look like? Chen, together with Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe, showed us around. “The beds in the Tianhe module are placed horizontally (横着), while our beds are kept upright,” said Liu. That means astronauts in the Wentian lab module need to sleep standing up! But as Liu explained, people don’t feel any difference because there’s no gravity (重力)  in space. Astronauts can even sleep on the ceiling (天花板) or upside down! The astronauts also showed their “space farm”, where lettuce, wheat (小麦), thale cress (拟南芥) and rice are grown. “Take a picture!” “Send the picture!” Through a voice-controlled camera, Chen already sent a picture of the thale cress to scientists on Earth. Then he used scissors to cut a sample (样本). “I’ll put it into a fridge at -80℃ and later give it to scientists on Earth,” said Chen. Scientists will study how the environment of space affects the growth of plants. “Can you see the water drops coming from the leaves? This is called ‘guttation’ (植物吐水现象),” said Liu, holding the well-grown rice. In space, the water drops are much bigger than those on Earth. So people can clearly see the guttation. “We hope in the near future, we can harvest (收获) the food grown on our own,” said Chen. “Maybe one day, we can harvest food on the other planets like moon or even Mars!” 1．Where was the third space class held? A．On Mars. B．In the Wentian lab module. C．On Earth. D．In the Tianhe core module. 2．How did Astronaut Liu sleep in the module? A． B． C． D． 3．What can we infer from the passage?

D．Astronaut Chen sent pictures of thale cress to children on Earth. 4．Which may be the best title for the passage? A．The Future of Space Science B．The Life of Three Astronauts C．A Journey into the Space D．A Space Class in Shenzhou XIV 主题01 人与自我-人物经历 Passage 1 （23-24九年级上·重庆南岸·期末） Once, there was a poor slave (奴隶) named Androclus in Rome.

People saw Androclus put his arms around the lion’s neck. In return, the lion licked him lovingly. They could not understand what was happening. “No man wants to be my friend.

Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·重庆沙坪坝·期末） Pumpkin carving (雕刻) at Halloween is a family tradition. In the pumpkin field, I compete with my two brothers, Jay and Jason, and sister Mary, to find out the biggest pumpkin. And as the eldest child I have an advantage—I carried an 85-pounder back last year. I still kept the picture of the pumpkin with my name, Joe, on it in my bedroom. This year, it was hard to tell whether my choice or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother, Jason, was the winner. I was determined (下定决心的) to tell others that I was the winner for sure. I’m unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would solve the problem, but it seemed to make perfect sense at that time. With the pumpkin on the table, I bowed and pressed my head. At first, my nose shortly prevented my entry. Finally, I managed to put my whole head into it. I could tell how heavy the pumpkin was myself! My excitement was short-lived. When I pulled hard to get out, my nose got in the way. It was only then that I realized getting out was going to be more difficult than getting in. I got scared as I tried hard to find the right angle (角度), but it was no use. “I can’t get it out!” I shouted, my voice sounding unnaturally loud from the pumpkin. “Now, Joe becomes the pump-king!” Jason said with laughter from every corner of the house.

All of these things appeared as soon as they thought of them, and this is how the world was created. Tepeu and Gucumatz decided that they needed beings there to praise their names as the creators. So they created deer and birds. But the animals could not speak. Disappointed, the makers agreed that they would have to create better beings, ones who would be able to admire them properly. The new beings, humans, seemed perfect. They thanked the gods for their lives. Tepeu and Gucumatz were pleased. “What do you see?” they asked the men. “We can see forever, through trees and mountains. We can see your creation, with all of its animals and plants. We can see and understand everything!” Tepeu and Gucumatz looked at each other, “Perhaps we made these beings too perfect. They should not see as well as we do!” The gods weakened humans’ eye sight so they could only see things close to them. Thus, their understanding of the world was weakened.

Passage 2 （23-24九年级上·重庆九龙坡·期末） ①Many stick puppets (木偶), dressed in traditional costumes, have fun on stage. They are able to change their facial expressions and perform difficult movements along with the music. The people who control the puppets are below them and use three rods (杆子) to move the head and hands of the puppets. ②This is the art form of stick puppet plays popular in Xiaoyi (孝义), Shanxi Province. They were introduced to Xiaoyi during the Song dynasty, and became the most popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Traditionally, stick puppets were made out of wood. They took a long time to make and were heavy to hold. ③Wang Maowei, 40, is a master of performing the beautiful art form on stage. ④Since his parents used to work with the Xiaoyi Shadow Puppetry and Puppet Troupe(戏班), he fell in love with the art form as a teenager. He decided to be a puppet performer and “make it a lifelong career (事业)”. ⑤When he was 17, he went to Xi’an, to learn puppet-making from a master. After spending seven years there, he returned to his hometown and joined the same troupe that his parents worked with. ⑥“Traditional art in modern times is a challenge for performers.” Says Wang, “Don’t stay in the same old way. It’s important to keep up with the times.” So ▲ . First, unlike the traditional puppets, Wang uses one rod instead of three to make the puppets work.

It started from the ancient folk songs and dances of the Han people in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. According to historical records, the local opera dates all the way back to the Qin Dynasty. Qinqiang Opera shows the daily life and feelings of ancient Chinese people. In 2006, Qinqiang Opera was added to national intangible heritage list (非物质文化遗产名录). ②Hou Yan, 48, the master of Qinqiang Opera started learning it from her mother when she was 4 years old. Training in the basic skills of Qinqiang Opera is very challenging. In 1985, Hou studied at an art school in Ningxia where teachers were very strict with students. Leg stretching (伸展), waist bending (弯曲) and somersaults (翻筋斗) were just some of her daily training routines. Her hard work paid off. Hou became a performer with a troupe (剧团) at the age of 16. ③But since 1993, the sweeping trend (趋势) of pop and Western music has hit Qinqiang Opera hard. The troupe was closed and Hou had no choice but to leave the opera stage she loved. ④After 1995, however, China has made great efforts to develop its traditional culture. Hou returned to the stage in 2000 and devoted herself to the opera form. “I knew I’d planted my roots on the opera stage,” said Hou. Now, Hou’s team presents hundreds of Qinqiang Opera performances every year in the towns and villages of Ningxia. The average age of Hou’s opera team is 30.

He reached the top of Mount Shishapangma in China’s Xizang region early in the morning at 6:05 AM local time, with Mount Shishapangma standing at 8.027 meters high. With this achievement, Nima went beyond his uncle, Mingma Gyabu Sherpa, who held the record at the age of 30 in 2019.

Over the past two years, he has broken several records, including reaching the top of nine 8,000-meter peaks in 2023 alone. Nima’s goal is part of his “SherpaPower” plan. He wants to change how people think about Sherpas, showing they can be great athletes and adventurers, not just guides. “Sherpas are strong, can manage hard times, and love what they do, Nima said.” “We can be the best, not just guides.” He gives his achievements to his parents and his project, and encourages younger Sherpas to dream big and break free from fixed ideas. In 1986, an Italian climber named Reinhold Messner became the first to climb all 14 peaks without oxygen when he was 42. Nima’s achievement is wonderful.

I went back down the hill and found a river. This, I thought, would be a good place for me.“Here,” I thought, “I can get my drinking water, and over there is a cave, where I can put all the food.” And so, over the next month, I built my home. Most of it was made from sails I had taken from the ship. I built a table and a chair, too, and took a bed from one of the rooms on the ship. And last of all, I built a large wall around my home. I did this because it made me feel safer from animals and men. The walls were high, and there was no door. You had to climb a ladder to get in. Every night, before falling to sleep, tired with the day’s work, I had time to think. And every night, the same thoughts came. I thought about my friends, who had all been taken from me by the sea. Why was I not also taken? Was I lucky to be alive, here, alone, on this island? Was I alone? Were there other people here? Were they dangerous to me? And every night, I would ease my thoughts, by saying, “Be happy that you have food and something over your head to keep the rain out. Wish for nothing more.

A group of clever teenagers from Shenzhen Yangang Middle School used artificial intelligence (AI) to breathe life into these paper lanterns. “In a fish-lantern dance, dancers carry lanterns and move like fish in their performance, and this needs lots of practice,” says Jiang Jiahan, 17, one of the lantern’s inventors. Jiang says his team wants to create an AI-driven fish lantern that can move on its own. Then it will be easier for more people to join in and enjoy the traditional performance art. The fish-lantern dance is a traditional cultural treasure in Sha Tau Kok, in Shenzhen’s Yantian district (区), where Jiang’s school sits. At Yangang Middle School, students are supposed to learn all subjects and job skills. Many students, like Jiang and his friends, join the science group to improve their skills. Tan Wenbo, 18, who is working hard on the AI, explains that a special part on the head of a lantern can recognize (识别) different things. Then it sends what it sees to a circuit board (电路板). The circuit board, connected to two small motors (马达) at the lantern’s head and tail, will drive the paper fish to move in different ways, just like a real fish does. Zhang Qiang, a teacher helping with the invention, wants his students to have fun and learn about different things outside of class. He also wants them to bring our culture to life while discovering their own talents and interests. 1．What do the fish-shaped lanterns in the online video look like? A．They look like birds flying in the sky. B．They look like real fish swimming in water. C．They look like kites flying in the air. D．They look like balloons rising up. 2．Why do students at Yangang Middle School join the science group? A．To avoid learning all subjects. B．To develop their skills.

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.

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.

They were giving a science class 400 kilometers above Earth on Oct 12. It was the third space class from the Tiangong space station, but the first one from the Wentian lab module (实验舱) since its launch in July. The former two classes were held in the Tianhe core module (核心舱). What does the new “classroom” look like? Chen, together with Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe, showed us around. “The beds in the Tianhe module are placed horizontally (横着), while our beds are kept upright,” said Liu. That means astronauts in the Wentian lab module need to sleep standing up! But as Liu explained, people don’t feel any difference because there’s no gravity (重力)  in space. Astronauts can even sleep on the ceiling (天花板) or upside down! The astronauts also showed their “space farm”, where lettuce, wheat (小麦), thale cress (拟南芥) and rice are grown. “Take a picture!” “Send the picture!” Through a voice-controlled camera, Chen already sent a picture of the thale cress to scientists on Earth. Then he used scissors to cut a sample (样本). “I’ll put it into a fridge at -80℃ and later give it to scientists on Earth,” said Chen. Scientists will study how the environment of space affects the growth of plants. “Can you see the water drops coming from the leaves? This is called ‘guttation’ (植物吐水现象),” said Liu, holding the well-grown rice. In space, the water drops are much bigger than those on Earth. So people can clearly see the guttation. “We hope in the near future, we can harvest (收获) the food grown on our own,” said Chen. “Maybe one day, we can harvest food on the other planets like moon or even Mars!” 1．Where was the third space class held? A．On Mars. B．In the Wentian lab module. C．On Earth. D．In the Tianhe core module. 2．How did Astronaut Liu sleep in the module? A． B． C． D． 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．“Guttation” can be clearly seen from leaves of rice in space. B．It’s easy to grow lettuce, wheat, and rice in Shenzhou XIV. C．People may try to grow food on other planets in the future. D．Astronaut Chen sent pictures of thale cress to children on Earth. 4．Which may be the best title for the passage? A．The Future of Space Science B．The Life of Three Astronauts C．A Journey into the Space D．A Space Class in Shenzhou XIV 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了三名宇航员在太空进行科学课，展示了他们的新“教室”——问天实验舱。 1．细节理解题。根据“It was the third space class from the Tiangong space station, but the first one from the Wentian lab module.”可知，第三次太空课堂的举行地点是问天实验舱。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“That means astronauts in the Wentian lab module need to sleep standing up!”可知，航天员在问天实验舱需要站着睡觉，选项C图片符合描述。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“In space, the water drops are much bigger than those on Earth. So people can clearly see the guttation.”可知，从空间中的水稻叶片上可以清楚地看到“吐水现象”。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。根据通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了三名宇航员在神舟十四号进行科学课。故选D。 主题01 人与自我-人物经历 Passage 1 （23-24九年级上·重庆南岸·期末） Once, there was a poor slave (奴隶) named Androclus in Rome. His owner was a very unkind man, so he ran away to the forest, where he found a lion lying on the ground. He was scared and ready to get away, but the lion didn’t run after him. It was groaning in pain Androclus went up to the lion and the lion put out its foot which was  bleeding (流血). Androclus saw a long, sharp thorn (刺) in its foot and he pulled it out quickly. The lion soon could rise and licked (舔) Androclus’ hand like a dog. Androclus and the lion became friends. For a long time, the lion would bring him food every day. That made Androclus find his new life a very happy one. One day, some soldiers rushed into the forest and took Androclus back to Rome. As a punishment, he would have to fight a hungry lion in front of the unkind slave owners. When the day came, thousands of people went to see the fight. The door opened and Androclus was brought in, empty-handed. He was almost dead with fear, for the roars (咆哮) of the lion could already be heard. Then, the hungry lion rushed in. With a single jump, it reached the poor slave. Androclus gave a great cry, but not out of fear. It was his old friend, the lion in the forest. People saw Androclus put his arms around the lion’s neck. In return, the lion licked him lovingly. They could not understand what was happening. “No man wants to be my friend. Only this poor lion is kind to me,” Androclus explained. At that moment, people were not so unkind as their fathers and grandfathers had been. “Give them both freedom!” they cried. In the end, both Androclus and the lion were set free and they kept each other as friends. Afterwards, they lived in Rome for many years. 1．Why didn’t the lion get up and run after Androclus? A．Because its head was bleeding. B．Because it was Androclus’ good friend. C．Because a sharp thorn was in his foot.

A．To introduce how brave Androclus was. B．To discuss the importance of being friendly. C．To describe the life of a lion in Rome. D．To show the unkindness of people in Rome. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文讲述了一个奴隶和狮子之间的友谊。 1．细节理解题。根据“It was groaning in pain Androclus went up to the lion and the lion put out its foot which was bleeding (流血). Androclus saw a long, sharp thorn (刺) in its foot and he pulled it out quickly.”可知，因为他的脚上有一根锋利的刺。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“He was almost dead with fear, for the roars (咆哮) of the lion could already be heard.”可知，一开始很害怕，根据“Androclus gave a great cry, but not out of fear. It was his old friend, the lion in the forest. ”可知，原来这个狮子是自己的老朋友，所以很激动。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“His owner was a very unkind man, so he ran away to the forest, where he found a lion lying on the ground...Androclus saw a long, sharp thorn (刺) in its foot and he pulled it out quickly.”可知， 一个可怜的奴隶从罗马逃出来，在森林里救了一头狮子。根据“Androclus and the lion became friends”可知，狮子和安德罗斯成了好朋友。根据“One day, some soldiers rushed into the forest and took Androclus back to Rome. As a punishment, he would have to fight a hungry lion in front of the unkind slave owners”可知，安德罗斯被带回了罗马，他准备在那里与一只饥饿的狮子搏斗。根据“Androclus gave a great cry, but not out of fear. It was his old friend, the lion in the forest. ”可知，安德罗斯在战斗中遇到了他的朋友。根据“In the end, both Androclus and the lion were set free and they kept each other as friends. Afterwards, they lived in Rome for many years.”可知，可怜的奴隶和狮子获得了自由，一起生活在罗马。所以正确的顺序是c-b-e-a-d 。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据全文可知，文章主要讲述了一个奴隶救了一只狮子，并和狮子成为朋友。当奴隶被抓回去和狮子决斗时，他发现对面的狮子竟然是自己救了那只狮子，最后也因为他和狮子的友谊而被释放。再分析文章可知，“unkind”，“kind”，“friend”这些词贯穿全文，所以B选项最符合，故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·重庆沙坪坝·期末） Pumpkin carving (雕刻) at Halloween is a family tradition. In the pumpkin field, I compete with my two brothers, Jay and Jason, and sister Mary, to find out the biggest pumpkin. And as the eldest child I have an advantage—I carried an 85-pounder back last year. I still kept the picture of the pumpkin with my name, Joe, on it in my bedroom. This year, it was hard to tell whether my choice or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother, Jason, was the winner. I was determined (下定决心的) to tell others that I was the winner for sure. I’m unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would solve the problem, but it seemed to make perfect sense at that time. With the pumpkin on the table, I bowed and pressed my head. At first, my nose shortly prevented my entry. Finally, I managed to put my whole head into it. I could tell how heavy the pumpkin was myself! My excitement was short-lived. When I pulled hard to get out, my nose got in the way. It was only then that I realized getting out was going to be more difficult than getting in. I got scared as I tried hard to find the right angle (角度), but it was no use. “I can’t get it out!” I shouted, my voice sounding unnaturally loud from the pumpkin. “Now, Joe becomes the pump-king!” Jason said with laughter from every corner of the house. Looking back today, I dare to say, that is the most embarrassing moment in my life. 1．Who carried the biggest pumpkin home last year? A．Joe. B．Jay. C．Jason. D．Mary. 2．Why did the writer put his head in the pumpkin at the very beginning? A．Because he wanted to see what’s inside the pumpkin by himself.

D．Because he wanted to scare his brother Jason and win the competition. 3．Which of the following shows the writer’s correct feelings in the story line? Choose our pumpkins Try to weigh the pumpkins Put my head into the pumpkin Be stuck in the pumpkin A．unsure→excited→determined→scared B．confident→determined→excited→scared C．confident→determined→excited→embarrassed D．unsure→excited→determined→embarrassed 4．In which part of a magazine can you read this passage? A．Places of interest. B．Childhood memory. C．Breaking news. D．Famous people. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文讲述了作者在万圣节南瓜雕刻传统中，与兄弟姐妹比赛找最大南瓜，去年作者作为长子有优势，今年他为证明自己是赢家，将头伸进南瓜却被困住，此事成为他最尴尬的童年回忆。 1．细节理解题。根据“And as the eldest child I have an advantage—I carried an 85-pounder back last year.

Later, Macbeth gets a message from Duncan, the king of Scotland. Duncan wants to reward (奖励) Macbeth for his victory and decides to give him more money and power.”可知，苏格兰国王邓根给麦克白金钱和权力，是因为麦克白作为苏格兰军队的一名将军，赢得了这场战役。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Macbeth kills the guards and tells everyone that he did this because they killed the king.”可知，麦克白杀死了卫兵，并告诉大家他这么做是因为他们杀了国王。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据“At first, Macbeth doesn’t like the idea, but Lady Macbeth achieves dominance over him. She forces him to believe that killing Duncan is the best thing to do.”可知，起初，麦克白不喜欢这个想法，但是麦克白夫人控制住了他，她强迫他相信杀死邓根是最好的事情。所以“achieves dominance over him”意思是“控制住了他”。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“When they say ‘Macbeth—the future king’, Macbeth doesn’t really believe the witches.”可知，起初麦克白并不相信这三个女巫的话。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·重庆渝中·期末） Once there were five peas in a pod (豆荚). There was a CRACK as the pod broke open. The five peas rolled out into the bright sunshine. A boy found them and said they were fine peas for his toy gun. The first pea said, “Now I’m flying out into the wide world. Catch me if you can.” And it was gone. The second said, “I’m going to fly to the sun,” and away it went. Two peas said, “We will go to sleep wherever we find ourselves.” They fell to the floor and rolled about, adding, “We shall go farther than the others.” The last pea shouted, “What will happen, will happen!” as it shot out of the toy gun. It fell into a crack (裂缝) under a window filled with moss (青苔) and soft earth. The window belonged to a tiny apartment. In it lived a poor woman and her daughter. The woman spent long hours cleaning other people’s houses and only returned home at night. Her daughter was ill in bed. It was springtime. One morning, as the mother was about to go to work, the sun shone beautifully through the little window. The sick girl looked over at the lowest windowpane (窗玻璃) and asked, “What is that green thing that’s peeping (偷看) in the window?” The mother went over and opened the window.

Catch me if you can.’ And it was gone.”可知，第一颗豌豆计划要飞到广阔的世界去。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第六段中的“The window belonged to a tiny apartment. In it lived a poor woman and her daughter. The woman spent long hours cleaning other people’s houses and only returned home at night.”以及第七段“It was springtime.

On my planet I had a flower; she was always the first to speak…” After walking for a long time through sand, rocks and snow, the little prince at last arrived at where people live. “Good morning,” he said. He was standing before a garden, full of roses. “Good morning,” said the roses. The little prince looked at them. They all looked like his flower. “Who are you?” he asked. “We are roses,” the roses said. He felt very sad. His flower had told him that she was the only one of her kind in all the universe. Here were five thousand of them, all like, in one single garden. “She would be very angry,” he said to himself, “If she saw that…she would cough a lot, and she would pretend (假装) that she was dying, to avoid being laughed at. I should nurse her back to life . If I did not do that, she would really allow herself to die...” Then he went on thinking to himself, “I thought that I was rich and had a special flower in all the universe; but all I had was a common rose, which doesn’t make me a very great prince.” He lay down in the grass and cried.

Then a kind old lady called Douglas invited me to live with her because I haven’t got a family or a home. My mother died a long time ago, and then my dad, Pap, disappeared.

One morning I woke up and there was snow on the ground. On my way to school I saw some footprints outside Douglas’s house. There was a cross on the heel (鞋跟) of the left one. My heart jumped. Only one person wore boots (靴子) with a cross on the left heel! Pap! “He’s heard about my money.” I thought. “And he wants it!” That night I went to see Jim. Jim had a magic ball made of animal hair.

She gave me a bed to sleep in and bought new clothes for me.”可知，哈克被道格拉斯夫人收养后，生活发生了改变，她给哈克床睡，给他买新衣服；再根据“She read stories to me every night and taught me how to eat at a table.”可知，她每天晚上给哈克读故事，教他如何在餐桌上吃饭。由此可推断出道格拉斯夫人非常善良且有耐心。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“On my way to school I saw some footprints outside Douglas’s house. There was a cross on the heel (鞋跟) of the left one. My heart jumped. Only one person wore boots (靴子) with a cross on the left heel! Pap!”可知，哈克在去上学的路上看到了道格拉斯夫人房子外面的一些脚印，其中左脚后跟有一个十字标记，这让哈克心跳加速，因为只有他的父亲穿左脚后跟有一个十字标记的靴子。由此可知，哈克是通过看到他父亲的脚印知道他父亲来了道格拉斯夫人的家的。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据第二段首句“Then a kind old lady called Douglas invited me to live with her because I haven’t got a family or a home.”可知，首先是道格拉斯夫人邀请哈克和她住在一起；根据第三段中“She read stories to me every night and taught me how to eat at a table.”以及第四段首句“Douglas sent me to school every day.”可知，然后是道格拉斯夫人每天晚上给哈克读故事，教他如何在餐桌上吃饭，每天送哈克去上学；根据倒数第三段首句“On my way to school I saw some footprints outside Douglas’s house.”可知，接着是哈克在去上学的路上看到了道格拉斯夫人房子外面的一些脚印；根据倒数第二段尾句“That night I went to see Jim.”可知，最后是哈克去看有魔法球的吉姆。故正确的顺序是③②①④。故选A。 Passage 5 （24-25九年级上·重庆九龙坡·期末） “Uncle Abanazar!

Noise, fire, and red smoke came from the lamp, and out of the smoke came a very big jinnee. “I am the slave of the lamp,” cried the jinnee. “What is your wish?” Aladdin’s mother was afraid and could not speak, but Aladdin said, “ ▲ ” The jinnee went away, and came back in a second.
