A little girl named Lila lived in a small town. She always felt lonely because her parents were busy with work and she had no siblings. One rainy afternoon, Lila was walking home from school when she saw an old man 1________ by the road. He looked cold and hungry, holding a broken bowl in his hand.
Lila stopped and thought for a moment. Her pocket money was only enough to buy her favorite ice cream, but she 2________ the old man’s eyes. There was no hope in them. “I can live without ice cream today,” she said to herself. She ran to the nearby shop and 3________ a hot steamed bun with her pocket money. When she handed it to the old man, his eyes suddenly lit up.
“Thank you, little girl. This is the 4________ meal I’ve had in three days,” the old man said with a smile. His smile was so warm that Lila felt a strange 5________ in her heart. It was much better than the happiness she got from eating ice cream.
From that day on, Lila began to help others in small ways. She helped her neighbor carry groceries, 6________ the classroom for her teacher after school, and even shared her books with classmates who forgot theirs. At first, some kids laughed at her, saying she was “wasting time”, but Lila didn’t 7________ them.
One month later, Lila’s class had a sports meet. She was not good at running, but when she was about to give up in the 800-meter race, she heard someone 8________ her. It was the old man! He had come to watch the race and was waving a small flag. Behind him were her neighbor and some of her classmates. They all cheered loudly for her. Lila was 9________ and ran as fast as she could. Finally, she crossed the finishing line.

As time went by, Lila’s small acts of kindness 12________ the whole town. More and more people started to help each other. The old man even opened a small food stand to offer free meals to the poor. He always told others, “A little girl taught me that 13________ is a light in the dark. It can warm everyone around.”
One winter evening, Lila’s parents came home with a big smile. “We’re so proud of you, Lila,” they said. “We noticed how much you’ve 14________ and how you’ve made our town a better place.” Lila hugged her parents tightly. She knew that the best happiness in life doesn’t come from what you get, but from what you 15________.

检测题2:阅读理解

Nature’s power is amazing, but sometimes it turns destructive. Natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes can strike without much warning, bringing great damage to homes and even endangering lives. However, knowing how to prepare for these disasters and what to do during them can greatly reduce risks.
Earthquakes are sudden and terrifying. They happen when the tectonic plates under the Earth’s surface move suddenly, causing the ground to shake. If you’re indoors during an earthquake, the safest place is under a strong table or desk. Hold on tightly until the shaking stops, and stay away from windows, heavy furniture or elevators. If you’re outdoors, move to an open area where there are no tall buildings, trees or power lines. Never try to run into a building for shelter during the shaking—this is more dangerous than staying outside.
Hurricanes are large tropical storms that form over warm ocean waters. They bring strong winds (over 74 mph), heavy rain and huge waves. Before a hurricane arrives, it’s important to prepare an emergency kit with water, food, a flashlight and a first-aid box. If local officials advise evacuation, follow their instructions immediately. During the storm, stay indoors and keep away from windows. Avoid using electrical appliances until it’s safe.
Tornadoes, often formed during severe thunderstorms, are violent rotating columns of air. They can destroy buildings in seconds with winds up to 300 mph. When a tornado warning is issued, go to the lowest level of your home—such as a basement or a small interior room without windows. Cover your head and neck with your arms or a blanket to protect yourself from falling debris.
Natural disasters are unpredictable, but being informed and prepared is our best defense. Learning about these disasters and practicing safety steps can help us stay calm and safe when danger comes.
1. What can we infer from Paragraph 2 about staying safe during an earthquake?
A. Hiding in an elevator is a good choice.
B. Running into a building is safer than staying outside.
C. A strong table can provide protection from falling objects.
D. Standing near a window helps observe the situation clearly.
2. The underlined word “evacuation” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.
A. staying at home B. leaving the dangerous area
C. preparing emergency supplies D. repairing damaged buildings
3. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. To explain how natural disasters form.
B. To describe the damage caused by natural disasters.
C. To introduce safety tips for different natural disasters.
D. To compare different types of natural disasters.
4. Which of the following best describes the structure of the passage?
A. Introduction → Specific examples → Conclusion B. Problem → Cause → Solution
C. Comparison → Analysis → Advice D. Definition → Explanation → Discussion
Where is this passage most likely taken from?
A. A science fiction novel B. A student’s diary
C. A safety guidebook D. A sports magazine
答案:CBCAC
解析:
1.这是一道推理判断题。第二段明确提到“最安全的地方是坚固的桌子或书桌下面,紧紧抓住桌腿直到震动停止”,由此可推断出坚固的桌子能为人们抵御坠落物的伤害。选项A、B、D均与段落中提及的地震安全须知相悖,因此表述错误。
2.这是一道词义猜测题。结合第三段语境:飓风来临前,人们需准备应急物资;当当地官员建议“evacuation”时,应立即遵循指示。考虑到飓风的危险性,可推断该词意为“撤离危险区域”。其他选项均不符合上下文逻辑。
3.这是一道主旨大意题。文章第一段提出核心观点——掌握灾害防范和应对方法能降低风险;中间段落分别介绍了地震、飓风、龙卷风的安全防护要点;最后一段强调做好准备的重要性。全文核心内容是介绍不同自然灾害的安全防护技巧,选项A、B、D仅涉及文章部分内容,无法概括主旨。
4.这是一道文章结构题。第一段(引言部分)提出核心观点——掌握灾害应对方法可降低风险;第二至四段(具体例证部分)分别阐述了三种自然灾害的安全防护要点;第五段(结论部分)总结了做好准备的重要性。该结构符合“引言→具体例证→结论”的模式,因此选项A正确。
5.这是一道文章出处题。本文内容围绕自然灾害的安全防护知识展开,具有较强的实用性和指导性,而安全指南正是传播这类知识的载体。科幻小说(A)具有虚构性,学生日记(B)记录个人生活,体育杂志(D)聚焦体育内容,均与文章性质不符。
B
On December 26, 2004, a powerful tsunami crashed into the coastal villages of Aceh, Indonesia. The huge waves, caused by an underwater earthquake, swept away everything in their path. Among the chaos and sorrow, a 7-year-old boy named Martunis created a miracle—he survived alone in the disaster for 21 days. His story of courage and hope has inspired people around the world ever since.
Martunis was playing football with friends when the ground began to shake. He rushed home to his mother and two sisters, but soon shouts of “The sea is coming!” filled the air. The family climbed into a small truck, but the waves quickly swallowed the vehicle and flipped it over. Martunis tried to hold onto his mother and sisters, but the strong current pulled them apart. “I felt so scared, but I told myself I must keep going,” he later remembered.
Luckily, Martunis grabbed a coconut and clung to it like a football—his favorite sport gave him strength. He floated for hours until he was washed onto a mangrove swamp. There, he found small supplies: some dry noodles, a few bottles of water, and later, rainwater to drink. When his food ran out on the 20th day, he still didn’t lose hope. “I thought of my father and believed he was looking for me,” he said. His worn-out football jersey, with the logo of a famous Portuguese team, became his only comfort.
On the 21st day, TV workers found Martunis, weak but alive. They took him to a hospital, where he was treated for dehydration and mosquito bites. When his father saw his son’s photo on the news, he rushed to the hospital and the two hugged tightly. Martunis’ story soon spread globally. A famous football player, Ronaldo, learned about him and invited him to Portugal. Ronaldo paid for Martunis’ school fees, and the Portuguese Football Association helped rebuild his family’s house.
Years later, Martunis fulfilled his football dream by joining a famous club’s youth team. Though a knee injury ended his playing career, he stayed positive. He became a football blogger and often shares his story with children. “Disasters can take many things away, but they can’t take our hope,” Martunis said. “My survival is a gift, and I want to use it to encourage others never to give up.”
1.What can we infer about Martunis from his experience?
A. He was an excellent football player before the tsunami.
B. He stayed alive mainly because of others’ timely help.
C. His positive attitude helped him survive the disaster.
D. He forgot about his family when he was struggling.
2.The underlined word “dehydration” in Paragraph 5 probably means ______.
A. being seriously hurt by animals B. losing too much water in the body
C. feeling very tired after hard work D. having a high fever caused by cold
3.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A terrible tsunami hit the coast of Aceh in 2004.
B. Martunis was saved by TV workers after the disaster.
C. A young boy survived a tsunami with courage and hope.
D. Ronaldo helped a disaster survivor realize his dream.
4.Which of the following is the correct order of events?
① Martunis was found and sent to hospital.
② The tsunami hit the village and separated Martunis from his family.
③ Martunis floated to a mangrove swamp and started his survival.
④ Ronaldo invited Martunis to Portugal and helped him.
A. ②③①④ B. ③②①④ C. ②①③④ D. ③①②④
5.What can we learn from Martunis’ story?
A. Football is the most important thing in life. B. Famous people always help those in need.
C. Natural disasters are impossible to avoid. D. Never lose hope even in the hardest times.
答案:CBCAD
解析:
1.推理判断题。文章多处体现Martunis的积极心态:食物耗尽仍不放弃、坚信父亲在寻找他、灾难中告诉自己要坚持。这些都说明积极态度是他存活的关键。A选项“海啸前是优秀球员”原文未提,仅说足球是他的爱好;B选项“主要靠他人及时帮助”错误,他独自存活21天,他人帮助是后期的;D选项“忘记家人”与他“想到父亲”相悖,故选C。
2.猜词题。结合上下文,Martunis在沼泽中靠有限水源存活21天,食物耗尽后只能喝雨水,获救后送医。“dehydration”应与缺水相关。A“被动物重伤”、C“劳累”、D“感冒发烧”均不符合语境,“身体流失过多水分”(脱水)是合理含义,故选B。
3.主旨大意题。文章围绕Martunis展开,从海啸突发、与家人失散,到独自在沼泽求生21天,再到获救后积极生活,核心是他用勇气和希望战胜灾难的故事。A“海啸袭击亚齐”、B“被电视工作者救出”、D“罗纳尔多帮助他”均为文章细节,无法概括主旨,故选C。
4.排序题。事件发展顺序为:1. 海啸来袭,Martunis与家人失散(②);2. 他漂流到红树林沼泽开始求生(③);3. 第21天被发现并送医(①);4. 罗纳尔多邀请他去葡萄牙并提供帮助(④)。对应顺序为②③①④,故选A。
5.推理判断题。Martunis的故事核心是“不放弃希望”——灾难中坚持求生,足球生涯结束后仍积极成为博主。A“足球最重要”偏离主旨;B“名人总会帮助他人”过于绝对,原文是个例;C“自然灾害无法避免”并非文章传达的核心启示。故选D。

答案:CAFDB
解析:
1.前文提到社区居民相信小善举能带来大影响,后文引出“看看他们是怎么做的”,此处需要一个承上启下的句子。选项C“他们发展了几种互相支持的方式”既呼应了“互相帮助”的主题,又为下文介绍具体方法做了铺垫,符合语义衔接逻辑。
2.前文指出社区设立了“邻里服务台”,由志愿者运营,后文通过“例如”列举了志愿者提供的具体帮助(帮老人买药、帮住户浇花)。选项A“它为居民提供各种小帮助”直接点明服务台的功能,与后文的举例内容完美匹配,属于“总-分”逻辑关系。
3.第二段以“First”(首先)开头介绍了服务台的作用,本段则围绕“技能分享角”展开,从逻辑顺序上应是第二种互助方式。选项F“其次,他们鼓励人们互相分享技能”中的“Second”与前文“First”形成递进关系,准确引领本段内容。
4.前文列举了厨师教做健康餐、电脑工程师帮老人用手机等技能分享的例子,选项D“有些人甚至分享他们的园艺经验”是对“技能分享”的补充举例,“even”一词体现了举例的递进,符合上下文语境。
5.前文介绍社区为父母下班晚的孩子设立“课后托管小组”,退休教师志愿辅导作业,选项B“许多家长对此类帮助心存感激”承接前文,说明该举措带来的积极反馈,语义连贯自然。

Lila stopped and thought for a moment. Her pocket money was only enough to buy her favorite ice cream, but she 2________ the old man’s eyes. There was no hope in them. “I can live without ice cream today,” she said to herself. She ran to the nearby shop and 3________ a hot steamed bun with her pocket money. When she handed it to the old man, his eyes suddenly lit up.
“Thank you, little girl. This is the 4________ meal I’ve had in three days,” the old man said with a smile. His smile was so warm that Lila felt a strange 5________ in her heart. It was much better than the happiness she got from eating ice cream.
From that day on, Lila began to help others in small ways. She helped her neighbor carry groceries, 6________ the classroom for her teacher after school, and even shared her books with classmates who forgot theirs. At first, some kids laughed at her, saying she was “wasting time”, but Lila didn’t 7________ them.

Nature’s power is amazing, but sometimes it turns destructive. Natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes can strike without much warning, bringing great damage to homes and even endangering lives. However, knowing how to prepare for these disasters and what to do during them can greatly reduce risks.
Earthquakes are sudden and terrifying. They happen when the tectonic plates under the Earth’s surface move suddenly, causing the ground to shake. If you’re indoors during an earthquake, the safest place is under a strong table or desk. Hold on tightly until the shaking stops, and stay away from windows, heavy furniture or elevators. If you’re outdoors, move to an open area where there are no tall buildings, trees or power lines. Never try to run into a building for shelter during the shaking—this is more dangerous than staying outside.
Hurricanes are large tropical storms that form over warm ocean waters. They bring strong winds (over 74 mph), heavy rain and huge waves. Before a hurricane arrives, it’s important to prepare an emergency kit with water, food, a flashlight and a first-aid box. If local officials advise evacuation, follow their instructions immediately. During the storm, stay indoors and keep away from windows. Avoid using electrical appliances until it’s safe.
Tornadoes, often formed during severe thunderstorms, are violent rotating columns of air. They can destroy buildings in seconds with winds up to 300 mph. When a tornado warning is issued, go to the lowest level of your home—such as a basement or a small interior room without windows. Cover your head and neck with your arms or a blanket to protect yourself from falling debris.
Natural disasters are unpredictable, but being informed and prepared is our best defense. Learning about these disasters and practicing safety steps can help us stay calm and safe when danger comes.
1. What can we infer from Paragraph 2 about staying safe during an earthquake?
A. Hiding in an elevator is a good choice.
B. Running into a building is safer than staying outside.

On December 26, 2004, a powerful tsunami crashed into the coastal villages of Aceh, Indonesia. The huge waves, caused by an underwater earthquake, swept away everything in their path. Among the chaos and sorrow, a 7-year-old boy named Martunis created a miracle—he survived alone in the disaster for 21 days. His story of courage and hope has inspired people around the world ever since.
Martunis was playing football with friends when the ground began to shake. He rushed home to his mother and two sisters, but soon shouts of “The sea is coming!” filled the air. The family climbed into a small truck, but the waves quickly swallowed the vehicle and flipped it over. Martunis tried to hold onto his mother and sisters, but the strong current pulled them apart. “I felt so scared, but I told myself I must keep going,” he later remembered.
Luckily, Martunis grabbed a coconut and clung to it like a football—his favorite sport gave him strength. He floated for hours until he was washed onto a mangrove swamp. There, he found small supplies: some dry noodles, a few bottles of water, and later, rainwater to drink. When his food ran out on the 20th day, he still didn’t lose hope. “I thought of my father and believed he was looking for me,” he said. His worn-out football jersey, with the logo of a famous Portuguese team, became his only comfort.
On the 21st day, TV workers found Martunis, weak but alive. They took him to a hospital, where he was treated for dehydration and mosquito bites. When his father saw his son’s photo on the news, he rushed to the hospital and the two hugged tightly. Martunis’ story soon spread globally. A famous football player, Ronaldo, learned about him and invited him to Portugal. Ronaldo paid for Martunis’ school fees, and the Portuguese Football Association helped rebuild his family’s house.
Years later, Martunis fulfilled his football dream by joining a famous club’s youth team. Though a knee injury ended his playing career, he stayed positive. He became a football blogger and often shares his story with children. “Disasters can take many things away, but they can’t take our hope,” Martunis said. “My survival is a gift, and I want to use it to encourage others never to give up.”
