专题02 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与自我——叙事忆旧 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·江苏扬州市仪征市联考·期末） I have been very lucky to make many trips to China. Though I have had some trouble with the language, I have never had a problem I couldn’t solve. As a native English speaker (土生土长的说英语的人), I can go almost everywhere in the world and find someone to communicate with. I never thought that someone who speaks only Chinese would have a lot of trouble in my country. Recently, the King family that I had met in China moved to Canada. I met them at the airport. My wife and I made meals for them and showed them around where we live. Everything seemed to go smoothly for the first two days as we looked for a car for them, showed them the way to different stores and the nearest city, Victoria. Mr. and Mrs. King had a two-year-old son and soon we became Nainai (grandmother) and Yeye (grandfather). We were having a good time but we didn’t realize Mr. King can’t speak English. Luckily, Mrs. King can speak very good English. Many people with Chinese background live near us. In fact, none of them speak Chinese. Mr. King can’t even buy a mobile phone without his wife’s help. He can’t talk to me, of course. By the third day, he felt lonely and worried. And on the fourth day, we decided to take them to a large Chinese community. Now, we often visit them and they visit us too. Sometimes Mrs. King would still like to live near us but Mr. King cannot. I feel bad because he seems very nice and smart but I can’t talk with him. It seems that neither of us will learn the other’s language because of our ages, maybe we will never have a friendly conversation. But we will think of each other as friends. 1．The writer doesn’t have any trouble in travelling around the world possibly because ________. A．he’s very lucky B．he speaks only English C．he’s good at speaking Chinese D．he is good at communicating with others 2．How did the two families feel on the first two days? A．Sad B．Happy. C．Worried D．Lonely. 3．Who can’t speak English in this passage? A．Mr. King B．Mrs. King C．The writer D．The writer’s wife Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·江苏南通市通州区·期末） It’s bad enough when the pressure (压力) is coming from your friends! That’s what just happened to me at my friend’s birthday party. Chloe invited only three guests: Mareya, Madison, and me. After dinner, we sang and danced along to our favorite songs. A little later, Chloe said, “It’s scary-movie time!” “You’re joking around again, right?” said Mareya. “The movie won’t really be scary, will it?” “Of course”, it said Chloe. “That’s the whole point. “Um, I don’t want to be a party pooper,” said Mareya. “But I m really afraid of scary-movies!” “Yeah,” I added. “When it comes to watching scary stuff right before bed, I get the worst nightmares imaginable.” “You’re probably remembering what it was like to watch scary movies when you were younger,” said Madison. “But it’s not like you are babies anymore. So come on! It’ll be fun.” “Exactly!” said Chloe. “My big brother has seen this movie five times, and he says ifs hardly even scary at “Besides,’’ said Madison, “it’s Chloe’s birthday wish. So don’t you think you should try to watch it, even for just a couple of minutes?”   “Well,” said Mareya. T guess just a couple of minutes could be OK.” I sighed. “I guess if it matters that much, I can try for a little bit too.” We got all set up with bowls of popcorn and started the movie. For the first couple of minutes, I thought Chloe’s brother might have actually been telling the truth. But as soon as the creepy monsters (怪物) started chasing everybody, all four of us jumped up and screamed! “That was really fun, Madison giggled. was so scared, I accidentally made my whole bowl of popcorn go flying!” Chloe laughed. “I know! I can’t wait for the next scary surprise.” “I can!” I said. “Is it OK if I go hang out in your room until the movie5s over?” “Me too...said Mareya. “Maybe you can just tell us what happened after?” Chloe was fine with that. Chloe and Madison had fun being scared during the movie, but not so much fun afterward. “Can we please turn the light on?” Madison said at bedtime. “I keep imagining there arc monsters in that closet.” “Good idea,” said Chloe. “There’s no way I’m going to close my eyes tonight.” “You know,” said Madison, “I think I’d better call my mom and get a ride home.” “You can borrow Oinksy (玩偶),” Mareya said, “He’s good at helping people sleep.” Here’s what ended up happening: Madison decided to go home, Chloe slept with Oinksy, and Mareya and I were extremely glad we’d watched only a couple of minutes of the movie! As far as your special situation goes, your friends can do a trick if they want to, but that doesn’t mean you have to do it. When there is pressure from your friends, the most important thing to remember is: Trust your sense no matter what! Oh, and if your friends ever refuse to remain friends unless you do what they want, you might want to try playing with some different people. 1．What does the underlined word “pooper” probably mean?

Page, a great poet in interviews or documentaries, I always thought to myself, “I know that woman. I’ve seen the inside of her fridge.” I even considered writing to her to thank her for being patient with me that day instead of just sending me away. That meeting encouraged me to keep writing, even teens of years later. I was about to graduate from college then, strongly hoping to prove myself in the area of journalism (新闻业) . Weeks before, I had chosen P. K. Page to interview as my graduation project. My teacher, after reading my plan, didn’t exactly question my choice, but the message behind his expression was clear: P. K. Page had high standards for interviewing her. Down in her sitting room, there she was in an armchair, wearing a black sweater, like a strict judge on the stage, which made her seem a bit distant (疏远的) . All about her were perfect, but I remembered feeling a bit lost for the first sight. I didn’t think she smiled. I had prepared a series of questions, some good but some not. Before I could ask the second, P. K. stopped me and said, “Would you consider asking your questions another way? ” I realized that she could hardly stand talking to me any more. During our talk, I could feel that she was doubting if I was professional enough and I was wasting her time. Later, she asked about my dream. I nervously replied, “To be a writer like you.” She stopped and just watched me quietly. I felt like I was too nervous to know what was going on next. Finally, she said, “I’d like you to come and visit me again. ” My heart beat with joy. But then she added, “But not too soon.” Then she asked me to get some snacks and drinks. I rushed out to the fridge to get the things, and shared the rest private moment with such an icon in a state of relaxation, forgetting about the differences between us. 1．Why did the writer mention P. K. Page’s fridge in the first paragraph? A．To show P. K. Page is patient. B．To show P. K. Page has a fridge. C．To show P. K. Page loves eating. D．To show she loved P. K. Page’s fridge. 2．What does the writer's teacher’s expression really mean? A．The writer’s graduation project was the best choice. B．P. K. Page will refuse to be interviewed by the writer.

Then she woke up Phyllis and Peter. “We’re in the new house. There are no servants here. We must help Mother now,” whispered Roberta. Carefully the three children lit the fire and filled a kettle (水壶) with water. They hung the kettle above the fire. “Mother isn’t awake yet. Let’s go outside and sit on that flat stone,” said Roberta. “Perhaps we will see a train go by.” When Mother came out at eight o’clock, Roberta, Peter and Phyllis were all fast asleep in the sunshine. They had put the kettle on the fire at five o’clock: three hours ago. All the water had boiled away (烧干). Now there was a hole in the bottom of the kettle. The fire had gone out. “Never mind,” laughed Mother. “We can boil some water in a pan. And I’ve found the dinner.” She led them into the kitchen and pointed to a door. “Last night, I thought this was a cupboard. It was so dark. But look,” she said. Mother opened the door and the children saw a little room with a table in the middle. On it there was roast beef, bread and butter, cheese and an apple pie. “Apple pie for breakfast,” cried Peter. “What fun!” It was a wonderful breakfast. Everyone was very hungry. “It feels like dinner because we were up so early,” said Peter, as he passed his plate for more apple pie. When the children had finished, they helped Mother put everything away in the right place. Then Mother said, “I’m tired. I’m going to lie down for a while. Go out to play but please be careful.” Roberta, Peter and Phyllis looked at each other. They were all thinking the same thing. “Let’s go down to the railway,” cried Roberta. “Listen!” said Phyllis. “I think I can hear a train.” Peter asked, “Do you think it’s going to London?” “Father is in London,” replied Roberta. “Let’s go to the station and find out”. —Taken from The Railway Children 1．What did the children do after getting up?

Harald was still asleep. Carl called the air hostess (空姐). “Excuse me, what time do we arrive?” “At 11:30 p.m. local time, sir. That’s about half an hour from now.” “Thank you.” Carl changed the time on his watch. “Could I have a cup of coffee, please?” “Yes, of course, sir.” Carl watched her bring the coffee. “She walks like my daughter,” he thought. “And she is very young. She looks nervous, not sure what to do.” He drank the coffee and started to read his newspaper. When Harald woke up, Carl showed him a page in the paper. “Look. There you are,” he said. He pointed to a picture. In the middle of the picture stood Carl himself—a short thin man with grey hair, wearing a suit. Behind him, on the left, was Harald—a tall, strong young man, like a sportsman. Both men were smiling. “That’s you and me, outside the Embassy (大使馆),” said Carl. “You can show it to your sons. You’re a famous man, Harald!” Harald laughed and said, “I’m just a police officer. It’s my job to take care of you.” “But your children think that you’re a famous man. Here, take it, and show it to them.” “OK. Thanks.” Harald smiled, and put the newspaper in his coat pocket. “I’ll have a cup of coffee too.” He called the air hostess, but she did not come. Harald looked surprised. “What’s the matter?” Carl asked. “The air hostess…” Harald said. Carl looked up and saw the young air hostess. She was sitting at the front of the plane with two young men. They looked nervous. Suddenly, one of the young men picked up a bag and walked into the pilot’s cabin (驾驶舱)! The other man and the air hostess followed him. “That’s strange,” said Carl. “What are they doing?” “I don’t know. It’s very strange,” said Harald. For one or two minutes nothing happened. It became very quiet on the plane. A bell rang, and for a moment they could hear two voices arguing (争吵). Then the pilot spoke, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Captain speaking. Please don’t be afraid. There is a change of plan. We have to land (降落) at another airport before we finish our journey. There’s no danger. We will land in fifteen minutes. Please stay in your seats and keep calm. Thank you.” Then the air hostess came out of the cabin. She looked very different now because she had a machine gun in her hand.

We sat at a table in the middle of the room and ate a delicious lunch. He told me that all the food came from the sea. “I love the sea,” he said. “It gives me everything that I need. Even my clothes come from the sea. It is a place of perfect peace. There are no governments, no taxes, and no wars. Here, I am truly free! I will never return to the land.” He took me to see the library which had thousands of books in many languages. Then he showed me the art gallery. It had many paintings by famous artists. The next room was a museum with all kinds of treasures from the sea. I had never seen such a good museum. Captain Nemo was very proud of his collection and very proud of the Nautilus (鹦鹉螺号). He told me that he had discovered a way to make electricity (电) using salt and mercury (水银). This electricity gave the Nautilus all the power it needed to move through the water. Huge pumps filled and emptied (排空) tanks of air and water to make the Nautilus sink or rise. After we got to the engine room, Captain Nemo showed me the engine and explained how it worked. The Nautilus was seventy meters long and eight meters wide. It had a cylindrical (圆柱形的) shape with points on each end and weighed 1,500 tons. “It’s a wonderful ship!” I exclaimed (惊叫). “I love it as if it were my child,” he replied. “How did you build it in secret?” I asked. “All the parts were made in different countries. I used different names each time I placed an order. I took all the parts to a desert island, and my workmen put them together. Then, we burned our workshops.” “It must have cost a fortune!

I’ll tell you one thing which may help you in the case,” he continued, turning to the two detectives. “There has been murder done, and the murderer was a man. He was more than six feet tall, was in the prime of life, had small feet for his height…” Lestrade and Gregson looked at each other with a doubtful smile. “If this man was murdered, how was it done?” asked Lestrade. “Poison,” said Sherlock Holmes briefly, and walked off with long steps. “One other thing, Lestrade,” he added, turning round at the door, “‘Rache’, is the German for ‘revenge (报复)’; so don’t lose your time looking for Miss Rachel.” 1．In the passage, ______ people are at the scene.

Call...” Why did I notice that? I wondered, since I seldom look at such ads. I put the paper on my lap and closed my eyes, remembering what had happened many years before, when my family struggled to make a living on our farm. I, too, had wanted a violin, but we couldn’t afford. When my arms grew long enough, how I wanted one! But I knew it was out of the question. It was not a good year. The crops did not bring as much as we had hoped at harvest. Yet even though times were hard, I couldn’t wait any longer to ask, “Daddy, may I have a violin of my own?” Daddy looked sad. That night, and many following nights, I heard him remind God in our family devotions, “… and Lord, Mary wants her own violin.” One evening we all sat at the table. Daddy wrote a letter to his friend, Mr. Finkle, a fine violinist. When Daddy received a letter from Columbus a few weeks later, he announced, “We’ll be driving to Columbus.” The day finally arrived. After we got there, Mr. Finkle, a tall man, opened the door. “Come in!” He picked up a case, opened it, lifted out a violin and started to play. “Carl, I found it in a pawn shop for seven dollars. It’s a good violin. Mary should be able to make beautiful music with it.” Then he handed the violin to me. I noticed the tears in Daddy’s eyes as I finally understood. It was mine! When I was ready to join the school orchestra (管弦乐队), I trembled with excitement. I sat in the third row of violins and wore my white orchestra jacket like a royal robe. My heart beat wildly at my first public performance, a school operetta. I felt sure everyone in the audience was watching me. Daddy and Mother smiled proudly at their little girl. And soon I found myself in the first-violin chair. I thought of Daddy, who did all he could to fill my desires when I was young. I wonder if I had ever thanked him. At last I picked up the newspaper, walked to the phone and dialed the number. Later that day, a man knocked on the door. “My daughter wants a violin so badly,” he said, “How much are you asking?” Any music store, I knew, would offer me a nice price. But now I heard my voice answer, “Seven dollars.” “Are you sure?” he asked, reminding so much of Daddy. Later, I saw his wife and children waiting in an old car. The door suddenly opened and a young girl ran to him. She hugged the violin case against her, then dropped to her knees and snapped open the case. She touched the violin lightly as it caught the glow of the late-afternoon Sun, then turned and threw her arm around her smiling father. 1．What does the underlined phrase “out of the question” mean? A．Doubtful. B．Impossible. C．Natural. D．Certain. 2．Which is the correct order of the following events? ①I noticed an advertisement in the newspaper. ②My father’s friend, a fine violinist gave me a violin. ③I sold a violin to a father at the price of seven dollars. ④I joined the school orchestra and took the first-violin chair soon. ⑤My family led a hard life and couldn’t afford a violin that I wanted so much.

C．Mary offered the violin to her friend’s daughter with pleasure. D．Mary knew why her father took her to Columbus before going. 4．What can be the best title for the passage? A．A violinist and a father B．A little girl and her father C．The violin in an advertisement D．The violin in the setting Sun Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·江苏泰州市靖江市·期末） Interview with Cartoonist Adrienne Hedger During the past few years, cartoonist (漫画家) Adrienne Hedger has provided the world with her humor. We caught up with her for an interview. And here are some highlights from it. About cartooning Drawing cartoons had been a hobby forever. I’d make cards for friends and family with my drawings. But mostly writing was my job until one of my friends who worked for the American Girl magazine wanted me to do drawings. I did the art and that was the first time that I had ever seen my drawings in a book. It’s really fun. I record all my ideas and the things I see in my own life. I see everything in comics. The very first time I saw my husband, my thought was, “I know exactly how I would draw that guy because he had this really square face.” I prefer to see everything as a cartoon. About her favorite cartoon It’s really about my family. Early on, Claire dropped a roll of toilet paper into the toilet. It was a clean toilet, and we had to get the paper out and dry it off. I did a cartoon about that and that one was funny. We could not believe what happened. I really enjoy making a cartoon about a personal family moment. ________ I have a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old, both girls. They often are fine. But the one thing that they do not like is how I draw their clothing. Clearly, it’s not attractive. I just draw T-shirts with long sleeves (袖子) and long trousers. And there are a lot of complaints about that. I created one cartoon recently where my younger daughter Claire wrote a sentence for homework and then fell off the chair. She was very tired. And there’s another one where she holds onto my leg and wants me to take her into the kitchen to get a snack. Those are really my favorite ones for some reason. My older daughter Kate doesn’t pay that much attention. I spend my whole life watching them and cartooning about them. And the older they get, the less they care. Kate said, “If I see you drawing anyone rolling their eyes (翻白眼), I know it’s a cartoon about me.” 1．According to the article, Adrienne Hedger was a (n) ________ before becoming a cartoonist. A．interviewer B．housewife C．writer D．publisher 2．Claire and Kate complain much about their mother’s drawings because ________. A．they are too busy to finish their homework B．they are tired of being the models for her creations C．they are not satisfied with their clothing in her cartoons D．they are not willing to pay much attention to her cartoons 3．What’s Kate’s attitude (态度) towards her mother’s cartoons? A．She finds them really interesting. B．She doesn’t care a lot about them. C．She actively offers suggestions about them. D．She doesn’t like them and never watches them. 4．Which of the following would be the best subtitle (小标题) in ________ ? A．About getting along with her daughters B．About drawing cartoons of her daughters C．About watching cartoons with her daughters D．About getting her daughters to enjoy cartoons 5．What can be inferred (推断) about how Adrienne Hedger feels about drawing cartoons? A．She enjoys making cartoons, especially family ones. B．She was unwilling to draw cartoons at the very first. C．She is proud of her cartoons and believes they are perfect. D．She likes drawing cartoons on family members, especially her husband. Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·江苏南京市建邺区·期末） When Jan walks into the kitchen with a package, her mum is sitting at the table, reading a book and drinking tea. Jan goes to the fridge and looks inside for a drink. “Don’t eat anything,” mum says. “Dinner’s in 20 minutes.” Jan doesn’t answer. She takes a glass from the cupboard and pours the apple juice into the glass. “Mum?” Mum doesn’t look up from her book. It’s always the same. When she starts reading a book, she can’t stop until she reaches the end. “Can you give me something for my time capsule (胶囊)?” Mum looks up from her book. Suddenly she’s interested. “Your what?” “My time capsule. It’s for a school project.” “What’s a time capsule? Jan can’t believe her mum doesn’t know what a time capsule is. “You put things inside it and then you bury (埋) it in the garden for someone to find in the future. That’s why it’s called a time capsule. It’s like sending a little message to the future, letting them look into our lives today.” Mum puts down her book. She drinks some more tea and looks across at Jan. “What do you put inside?” “Things. Personal things... a letter... things related to now... this year... a diary or a newspaper, for example,” Jan looks at the apple juice. “Or a bottle of apple juice. When the person finds the time capsule in the future they can discover things about the past and they can find out about… me.” “And you want me to give you something to put inside the time capsule?” Jan makes a face. It’s the face Jan makes to say mum doesn’t understand. Mum never understands. “No, mum. You don’t understand. I want something to put the things into. I need a container.” “What kind of thing?” “I don’t know. A box? I need something strong to protect the things inside.” Mum looks around the room and thinks. Suddenly she has an idea. She goes to one of the cupboards and takes out a large old biscuit tin. “Here it is,” she says, opening the tin and looking inside. Jan looks at the tin. With a smile, she carefully places her chosen items inside. “Thanks, mum,” Jan says, “This will be perfect. I can’t wait to see what people will think when they find it.” 1．Why does Jan want to make a time capsule? A．To travel to the future. B．To know herself better. C．To finish her school project.

Holmes happened to look up and meet his eyes. “Watson, what are you thinking about?” he asked. “You.” “Me?” “Yes, Holmes. I was just thinking about how easily you picked up all these tricks of yours.” “No doubt,” Holmes answered with a smile. “Would you care to give me an example of my method of reasoning?” “With pleasure,” said Watson. “I can tell that you were quite absent-minded this morning.” “Excellent!” said Holmes. “How could you possibly know that?” “Because you’re usually a neat man, but today, you’ve forgotten to shave (刮脸).” “Dear me!” said Holmes. “I had no idea. Watson, that you were so clever. Has your eagle eye detected anything else?” “Yes, Holmes. You have a client named Barlow, and you’ve been unsuccessful with his case.” “Dear me, how could you know that?” “I saw the name on the outside of his envelope. When you opened it, you groaned (叹息) and put it in your pocket with a frown (皱眉). “You are indeed good at noticing things around you. Any other points?” “Yes, Holmes, you’ve put on your black coat, instead of your usual dressing gown. You must be expecting an important visitor.” “Anything else?” “I could find other points, Holmes, but I’m only giving you these few, in order to show you that there are other people in the world who can be as clever as you.” “And some not so clever,” said Holmes. “I admit they are few, but I’m afraid, my dear Watson, that I miscount you among them.” “What do you mean, Holmes? You mean I was mistaken?” “Just a little that way, I fear. Let’s go over your reasoning: I didn’t shave because I’d sent my razor out to be repaired. I put on my coat because I have an early appointment with my dentist. His name is Barlow, and the letter was to confirm the time. But go on, Watson!

Though I have had some trouble with the language, I have never had a problem I couldn’t solve. As a native English speaker (土生土长的说英语的人), I can go almost everywhere in the world and find someone to communicate with. I never thought that someone who speaks only Chinese would have a lot of trouble in my country. Recently, the King family that I had met in China moved to Canada. I met them at the airport. My wife and I made meals for them and showed them around where we live. Everything seemed to go smoothly for the first two days as we looked for a car for them, showed them the way to different stores and the nearest city, Victoria. Mr. and Mrs. King had a two-year-old son and soon we became Nainai (grandmother) and Yeye (grandfather). We were having a good time but we didn’t realize Mr. King can’t speak English. Luckily, Mrs. King can speak very good English. Many people with Chinese background live near us. In fact, none of them speak Chinese. Mr. King can’t even buy a mobile phone without his wife’s help. He can’t talk to me, of course. By the third day, he felt lonely and worried. And on the fourth day, we decided to take them to a large Chinese community. Now, we often visit them and they visit us too. Sometimes Mrs. King would still like to live near us but Mr. King cannot. I feel bad because he seems very nice and smart but I can’t talk with him. It seems that neither of us will learn the other’s language because of our ages, maybe we will never have a friendly conversation.

A little later, Chloe said, “It’s scary-movie time!” “You’re joking around again, right?” said Mareya. “The movie won’t really be scary, will it?” “Of course”, it said Chloe. “That’s the whole point. “Um, I don’t want to be a party pooper,” said Mareya. “But I m really afraid of scary-movies!” “Yeah,” I added. “When it comes to watching scary stuff right before bed, I get the worst nightmares imaginable.” “You’re probably remembering what it was like to watch scary movies when you were younger,” said Madison. “But it’s not like you are babies anymore. So come on! It’ll be fun.” “Exactly!” said Chloe. “My big brother has seen this movie five times, and he says ifs hardly even scary at “Besides,’’ said Madison, “it’s Chloe’s birthday wish. So don’t you think you should try to watch it, even for just a couple of minutes?”   “Well,” said Mareya. T guess just a couple of minutes could be OK.” I sighed. “I guess if it matters that much, I can try for a little bit too.” We got all set up with bowls of popcorn and started the movie.

K. Page, a great poet in interviews or documentaries, I always thought to myself, “I know that woman. I’ve seen the inside of her fridge.” I even considered writing to her to thank her for being patient with me that day instead of just sending me away. That meeting encouraged me to keep writing, even teens of years later. I was about to graduate from college then, strongly hoping to prove myself in the area of journalism (新闻业) . Weeks before, I had chosen P. K. Page to interview as my graduation project. My teacher, after reading my plan, didn’t exactly question my choice, but the message behind his expression was clear: P. K. Page had high standards for interviewing her. Down in her sitting room, there she was in an armchair, wearing a black sweater, like a strict judge on the stage, which made her seem a bit distant (疏远的) . All about her were perfect, but I remembered feeling a bit lost for the first sight. I didn’t think she smiled. I had prepared a series of questions, some good but some not. Before I could ask the second, P. K. stopped me and said, “Would you consider asking your questions another way? ” I realized that she could hardly stand talking to me any more. During our talk, I could feel that she was doubting if I was professional enough and I was wasting her time. Later, she asked about my dream. I nervously replied, “To be a writer like you.” She stopped and just watched me quietly. I felt like I was too nervous to know what was going on next. Finally, she said, “I’d like you to come and visit me again. ” My heart beat with joy. But then she added, “But not too soon.” Then she asked me to get some snacks and drinks. I rushed out to the fridge to get the things, and shared the rest private moment with such an icon in a state of relaxation, forgetting about the differences between us. 1．Why did the writer mention P. K. Page’s fridge in the first paragraph? A．To show P. K. Page is patient. B．To show P. K. Page has a fridge. C．To show P. K. Page loves eating. D．To show she loved P. K.

K. Page的耐心指导和鼓励下，作者逐渐放松并与之有了更深入的交流，这次经历鼓励了作者继续写作。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“I even considered writing to her to thank her for being patient with me that day instead of just sending me away. That meeting encouraged me to keep writing, even teens of years later.”可知，作者提到P. K. Page的冰箱是为了表明P. K. Page很有耐心。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“My teacher, after reading my plan, didn't exactly question my choice, but the message behind his expression was clear: P. K.

We must help Mother now,” whispered Roberta. Carefully the three children lit the fire and filled a kettle (水壶) with water. They hung the kettle above the fire. “Mother isn’t awake yet. Let’s go outside and sit on that flat stone,” said Roberta. “Perhaps we will see a train go by.” When Mother came out at eight o’clock, Roberta, Peter and Phyllis were all fast asleep in the sunshine. They had put the kettle on the fire at five o’clock: three hours ago. All the water had boiled away (烧干). Now there was a hole in the bottom of the kettle. The fire had gone out. “Never mind,” laughed Mother. “We can boil some water in a pan. And I’ve found the dinner.” She led them into the kitchen and pointed to a door. “Last night, I thought this was a cupboard. It was so dark. But look,” she said. Mother opened the door and the children saw a little room with a table in the middle. On it there was roast beef, bread and butter, cheese and an apple pie. “Apple pie for breakfast,” cried Peter. “What fun!” It was a wonderful breakfast. Everyone was very hungry. “It feels like dinner because we were up so early,” said Peter, as he passed his plate for more apple pie. When the children had finished, they helped Mother put everything away in the right place. Then Mother said, “I’m tired. I’m going to lie down for a while. Go out to play but please be careful.” Roberta, Peter and Phyllis looked at each other. They were all thinking the same thing. “Let’s go down to the railway,” cried Roberta. “Listen!” said Phyllis. “I think I can hear a train.” Peter asked, “Do you think it’s going to London?” “Father is in London,” replied Roberta. “Let’s go to the station and find out”. —Taken from The Railway Children 1．What did the children do after getting up?

It was midnight. Harald was still asleep. Carl called the air hostess (空姐). “Excuse me, what time do we arrive?” “At 11:30 p.m. local time, sir. That’s about half an hour from now.” “Thank you.” Carl changed the time on his watch. “Could I have a cup of coffee, please?” “Yes, of course, sir.” Carl watched her bring the coffee. “She walks like my daughter,” he thought. “And she is very young. She looks nervous, not sure what to do.” He drank the coffee and started to read his newspaper. When Harald woke up, Carl showed him a page in the paper. “Look. There you are,” he said. He pointed to a picture. In the middle of the picture stood Carl himself—a short thin man with grey hair, wearing a suit. Behind him, on the left, was Harald—a tall, strong young man, like a sportsman. Both men were smiling. “That’s you and me, outside the Embassy (大使馆),” said Carl. “You can show it to your sons. You’re a famous man, Harald!” Harald laughed and said, “I’m just a police officer. It’s my job to take care of you.” “But your children think that you’re a famous man. Here, take it, and show it to them.” “OK. Thanks.” Harald smiled, and put the newspaper in his coat pocket. “I’ll have a cup of coffee too.” He called the air hostess, but she did not come. Harald looked surprised. “What’s the matter?” Carl asked. “The air hostess…” Harald said. Carl looked up and saw the young air hostess. She was sitting at the front of the plane with two young men. They looked nervous. Suddenly, one of the young men picked up a bag and walked into the pilot’s cabin (驾驶舱)! The other man and the air hostess followed him. “That’s strange,” said Carl. “What are they doing?” “I don’t know. It’s very strange,” said Harald. For one or two minutes nothing happened. It became very quiet on the plane. A bell rang, and for a moment they could hear two voices arguing (争吵). Then the pilot spoke, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Captain speaking. Please don’t be afraid. There is a change of plan. We have to land (降落) at another airport before we finish our journey. There’s no danger. We will land in fifteen minutes. Please stay in your seats and keep calm. Thank you.” Then the air hostess came out of the cabin. She looked very different now because she had a machine gun in her hand. She stood at the front of the plane and watched the passengers. —Adapted from Skyjack! 1．What did Carl think of the air hostess at first? A．He thought the air hostess was impolite.

We sat at a table in the middle of the room and ate a delicious lunch. He told me that all the food came from the sea. “I love the sea,” he said. “It gives me everything that I need. Even my clothes come from the sea. It is a place of perfect peace. There are no governments, no taxes, and no wars. Here, I am truly free! I will never return to the land.” He took me to see the library which had thousands of books in many languages. Then he showed me the art gallery. It had many paintings by famous artists. The next room was a museum with all kinds of treasures from the sea. I had never seen such a good museum. Captain Nemo was very proud of his collection and very proud of the Nautilus (鹦鹉螺号). He told me that he had discovered a way to make electricity (电) using salt and mercury (水银). This electricity gave the Nautilus all the power it needed to move through the water. Huge pumps filled and emptied (排空) tanks of air and water to make the Nautilus sink or rise. After we got to the engine room, Captain Nemo showed me the engine and explained how it worked. The Nautilus was seventy meters long and eight meters wide. It had a cylindrical (圆柱形的) shape with points on each end and weighed 1,500 tons. “It’s a wonderful ship!” I exclaimed (惊叫). “I love it as if it were my child,” he replied. “How did you build it in secret?” I asked. “All the parts were made in different countries. I used different names each time I placed an order. I took all the parts to a desert island, and my workmen put them together. Then, we burned our workshops.” “It must have cost a fortune! (大笔的钱)” I exclaimed. “Millions of dollars,” he replied. “However, I have billions!” — Taken from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea 1．Captain Nemo showed “me” many things except ________.

Captain Nemo told “me” a new way to make electricity. A．a-d-e-c-b B．a-b-d-e-c C．a-b-c-e-d D．a-d-e-b-c 4．Which may be the best title for the passage? A．An amazing ship B．A rich captain C．My first tour around Nautilus D．Life in the sea 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述“我”在鹦鹉螺号上，尼摩船长带“我”参观船上餐厅、图书馆、美术馆、博物馆等设施，介绍发电方式及发动机工作原理，“我”对船的建造费用感到惊叹 。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“He took me to see the library which had thousands of books in many languages. Then he showed me the art gallery. It had many paintings by famous artists. The next room was a museum with all kinds of treasures from the sea.”可知，尼摩船长带“我”看了书、画作和宝藏，没有提到宠物。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段“Huge pumps filled and emptied (排空) tanks of air and water to make the Nautilus sink or rise.”，这里“sink”和“rise”是相反的意思，“go down”表示下沉，与“sink”意思相近，故选A。 3．细节理解题。文章首先提到“We sat at a table in the middle of the room and ate a delicious lunch.”，即a；接着“He took me to see the library... Then he showed me the art gallery... The next room was a museum”，即d；然后“He told me that he had discovered a way to make electricity”，即e；再之后“After we got to the engine room, Captain Nemo showed me the engine and explained how it worked.”，即b；最后“‘It must have cost a fortune!’ I exclaimed.”，即c。所以正确顺序是a-d-e-b-c，故选D。 4．最佳标题。文章主要讲述了“我”在鹦鹉螺号上，尼摩船长带“我”参观船上的各种设施，包括餐厅、图书馆、美术馆、博物馆，介绍发电方式、发动机等，所以“我在鹦鹉螺号上的首次游览”更适合做标题，故选C。 Passage 4 （24-25九年级上·江苏徐州市·期末） “Come along, Doctor,” Holmes said to me. “We shall go and look him up. I’ll tell you one thing which may help you in the case,” he continued, turning to the two detectives. “There has been murder done, and the murderer was a man. He was more than six feet tall, was in the prime of life, had small feet for his height…” Lestrade and Gregson looked at each other with a doubtful smile. “If this man was murdered, how was it done?” asked Lestrade. “Poison,” said Sherlock Holmes briefly, and walked off with long steps. “One other thing, Lestrade,” he added, turning round at the door, “‘Rache’, is the German for ‘revenge (报复)’; so don’t lose your time looking for Miss Rachel.” 1．In the passage, ______ people are at the scene.

Can’t pay much. Call...” Why did I notice that? I wondered, since I seldom look at such ads. I put the paper on my lap and closed my eyes, remembering what had happened many years before, when my family struggled to make a living on our farm. I, too, had wanted a violin, but we couldn’t afford. When my arms grew long enough, how I wanted one! But I knew it was out of the question. It was not a good year. The crops did not bring as much as we had hoped at harvest. Yet even though times were hard, I couldn’t wait any longer to ask, “Daddy, may I have a violin of my own?” Daddy looked sad. That night, and many following nights, I heard him remind God in our family devotions, “… and Lord, Mary wants her own violin.” One evening we all sat at the table. Daddy wrote a letter to his friend, Mr. Finkle, a fine violinist. When Daddy received a letter from Columbus a few weeks later, he announced, “We’ll be driving to Columbus.” The day finally arrived. After we got there, Mr. Finkle, a tall man, opened the door. “Come in!” He picked up a case, opened it, lifted out a violin and started to play. “Carl, I found it in a pawn shop for seven dollars. It’s a good violin. Mary should be able to make beautiful music with it.” Then he handed the violin to me. I noticed the tears in Daddy’s eyes as I finally understood. It was mine! When I was ready to join the school orchestra (管弦乐队), I trembled with excitement. I sat in the third row of violins and wore my white orchestra jacket like a royal robe. My heart beat wildly at my first public performance, a school operetta. I felt sure everyone in the audience was watching me. Daddy and Mother smiled proudly at their little girl. And soon I found myself in the first-violin chair. I thought of Daddy, who did all he could to fill my desires when I was young. I wonder if I had ever thanked him. At last I picked up the newspaper, walked to the phone and dialed the number. Later that day, a man knocked on the door. “My daughter wants a violin so badly,” he said, “How much are you asking?” Any music store, I knew, would offer me a nice price. But now I heard my voice answer, “Seven dollars.” “Are you sure?” he asked, reminding so much of Daddy. Later, I saw his wife and children waiting in an old car. The door suddenly opened and a young girl ran to him. She hugged the violin case against her, then dropped to her knees and snapped open the case. She touched the violin lightly as it caught the glow of the late-afternoon Sun, then turned and threw her arm around her smiling father. 1．What does the underlined phrase “out of the question” mean? A．Doubtful. B．Impossible. C．Natural. D．Certain. 2．Which is the correct order of the following events? ①I noticed an advertisement in the newspaper. ②My father’s friend, a fine violinist gave me a violin. ③I sold a violin to a father at the price of seven dollars. ④I joined the school orchestra and took the first-violin chair soon. ⑤My family led a hard life and couldn’t afford a violin that I wanted so much. A．①⑤②④③ B．①②⑤④③ C．⑤②④①③ D．⑤①②④③ 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．Mary passed her love to others in the way Mr. Finkle did. B．The young man’s family had no money to pay for the violin. C．Mary offered the violin to her friend’s daughter with pleasure. D．Mary knew why her father took her to Columbus before going. 4．What can be the best title for the passage? A．A violinist and a father B．A little girl and her father C．The violin in an advertisement D．The violin in the setting Sun 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了Mary看到报纸上有关希望购买小提琴的广告，会想到自己如何通过七美金得到第一把小提琴的，并在最后把小提琴以七美元的价格卖给小女孩的故事。 1．词句猜测题。根据上文“When my arms grew long enough, how I wanted one!”及下文but作为转折可知，她想要一个小提琴，由于家庭生活困难，这种想法是不能的，划线部分out of the question的意思是“不可能的”，故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文中的时间线，正确的顺序应该是：首先Mary看到了广告（①），然后回忆起自己小时候家境贫困，无法拥有小提琴（⑤）。接着她的父亲的朋友给她买了小提琴（②），然后Mary参加了学校的乐队并且成为了首席小提琴（④）。最后，她以七美元的价格把小提琴卖给了别人（③）。所以正确顺序是⑤①②④③。故选C。 3．推理判断题。通读整篇短文可知，Mr. Finkle帮助她实现拉小提琴的梦想，后半部分写的是在Mary取得成功以后，帮助一个和她一样的孩子，Mary像Finkle先生那样将爱传递给他人。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。本文描述了Mary和父亲以及小提琴之间的故事，最后她以七美元将小提琴卖给了一个需要它的小女孩。故事情感充沛，讲述了她对父亲的感激和她将爱传递给他人的行为，最合适的标题是“The violin in the setting Sun”，这个标题呼应了文章的情感和小提琴在她生命中的意义。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·江苏泰州市靖江市·期末） Interview with Cartoonist Adrienne Hedger During the past few years, cartoonist (漫画家) Adrienne Hedger has provided the world with her humor. We caught up with her for an interview. And here are some highlights from it. About cartooning Drawing cartoons had been a hobby forever. I’d make cards for friends and family with my drawings. But mostly writing was my job until one of my friends who worked for the American Girl magazine wanted me to do drawings. I did the art and that was the first time that I had ever seen my drawings in a book. It’s really fun. I record all my ideas and the things I see in my own life. I see everything in comics. The very first time I saw my husband, my thought was, “I know exactly how I would draw that guy because he had this really square face.” I prefer to see everything as a cartoon. About her favorite cartoon It’s really about my family. Early on, Claire dropped a roll of toilet paper into the toilet. It was a clean toilet, and we had to get the paper out and dry it off. I did a cartoon about that and that one was funny. We could not believe what happened. I really enjoy making a cartoon about a personal family moment. ________ I have a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old, both girls. They often are fine. But the one thing that they do not like is how I draw their clothing. Clearly, it’s not attractive. I just draw T-shirts with long sleeves (袖子) and long trousers. And there are a lot of complaints about that. I created one cartoon recently where my younger daughter Claire wrote a sentence for homework and then fell off the chair. She was very tired. And there’s another one where she holds onto my leg and wants me to take her into the kitchen to get a snack. Those are really my favorite ones for some reason. My older daughter Kate doesn’t pay that much attention. I spend my whole life watching them and cartooning about them. And the older they get, the less they care. Kate said, “If I see you drawing anyone rolling their eyes (翻白眼), I know it’s a cartoon about me.” 1．According to the article, Adrienne Hedger was a (n) ________ before becoming a cartoonist. A．interviewer B．housewife C．writer D．publisher 2．Claire and Kate complain much about their mother’s drawings because ________. A．they are too busy to finish their homework B．they are tired of being the models for her creations C．they are not satisfied with their clothing in her cartoons D．they are not willing to pay much attention to her cartoons 3．What’s Kate’s attitude (态度) towards her mother’s cartoons? A．She finds them really interesting. B．She doesn’t care a lot about them. C．She actively offers suggestions about them. D．She doesn’t like them and never watches them. 4．Which of the following would be the best subtitle (小标题) in ________ ? A．About getting along with her daughters B．About drawing cartoons of her daughters C．About watching cartoons with her daughters D．About getting her daughters to enjoy cartoons 5．What can be inferred (推断) about how Adrienne Hedger feels about drawing cartoons? A．She enjoys making cartoons, especially family ones. B．She was unwilling to draw cartoons at the very first. C．She is proud of her cartoons and believes they are perfect. D．She likes drawing cartoons on family members, especially her husband. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了漫画家Adrienne Hedger在接受采访时的回答，讲述了她从作家成为漫画家的经历及画关于女儿们的漫画的相关内容。 1．细节理解题。根据“But mostly writing was my job until one of my friends who worked for the American Girl magazine wanted me to do drawings.”可知在成为卡通画家前是一位作家。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“But the one thing that they do not like is how I draw their clothing.”可知他们不喜欢我画的他们衣服。选项C“他们对她漫画里的服装不满意”符合题意。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“My older daughter Kate doesn’t pay that much attention. I spend my whole life watching them and cartooning about them. And the older they get, the less they care.”可知凯特不太在乎妈妈的卡通画。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。根据“I spend my whole life watching them and cartooning about them.”及最后三段内容可知，最后三段主要讲述Adrienne Hedger画关于女儿们的漫画的相关内容。故选B。 5．推理判断题。根据“I really enjoy making a cartoon about a personal family moment.”可知她喜欢漫画，尤其是家庭相关的漫画。故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·江苏南京市建邺区·期末） When Jan walks into the kitchen with a package, her mum is sitting at the table, reading a book and drinking tea. Jan goes to the fridge and looks inside for a drink. “Don’t eat anything,” mum says. “Dinner’s in 20 minutes.” Jan doesn’t answer. She takes a glass from the cupboard and pours the apple juice into the glass. “Mum?” Mum doesn’t look up from her book. It’s always the same. When she starts reading a book, she can’t stop until she reaches the end. “Can you give me something for my time capsule (胶囊)?” Mum looks up from her book. Suddenly she’s interested. “Your what?” “My time capsule. It’s for a school project.” “What’s a time capsule? Jan can’t believe her mum doesn’t know what a time capsule is. “You put things inside it and then you bury (埋) it in the garden for someone to find in the future. That’s why it’s called a time capsule. It’s like sending a little message to the future, letting them look into our lives today.” Mum puts down her book. She drinks some more tea and looks across at Jan. “What do you put inside?” “Things. Personal things... a letter... things related to now... this year... a diary or a newspaper, for example,” Jan looks at the apple juice. “Or a bottle of apple juice. When the person finds the time capsule in the future they can discover things about the past and they can find out about… me.” “And you want me to give you something to put inside the time capsule?” Jan makes a face. It’s the face Jan makes to say mum doesn’t understand. Mum never understands. “No, mum. You don’t understand. I want something to put the things into. I need a container.” “What kind of thing?” “I don’t know. A box? I need something strong to protect the things inside.” Mum looks around the room and thinks. Suddenly she has an idea. She goes to one of the cupboards and takes out a large old biscuit tin. “Here it is,” she says, opening the tin and looking inside. Jan looks at the tin. With a smile, she carefully places her chosen items inside. “Thanks, mum,” Jan says, “This will be perfect.

It’s for a school project.”可知，因为是学校项目，所以Jan想要制作时间胶囊。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“It’s always the same. When she starts reading a book, she can’t stop until she reaches the end.”可知，珍妮的妈妈一旦开始读书就停不下来，这表明她喜欢阅读并且常常沉浸其中。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Things related to now... this year... a diary or a newspaper, for example,”以及“Or a bottle of apple juice.

It’s like sending a little message to the future, letting them look into our lives today.”，“She goes to one of the cupboards and takes out a large old biscuit tin.”和“With a smile, she carefully places her chosen items inside.”可知，先是珍妮在厨房要苹果汁喝，接着她向妈妈解释如何制作时间胶囊，然后妈妈为她找一个合适的容器，最后珍妮小心地把东西放进饼干罐。所以正确顺序是②④③①。故选D。 主题02 人与社会——文学作品 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·江苏南通市海安市·期末） Watson had been watching his friend closely since sitting down to breakfast. Holmes happened to look up and meet his eyes. “Watson, what are you thinking about?” he asked. “You.” “Me?” “Yes, Holmes. I was just thinking about how easily you picked up all these tricks of yours.” “No doubt,” Holmes answered with a smile. “Would you care to give me an example of my method of reasoning?” “With pleasure,” said Watson. “I can tell that you were quite absent-minded this morning.” “Excellent!” said Holmes. “How could you possibly know that?” “Because you’re usually a neat man, but today, you’ve forgotten to shave (刮脸).” “Dear me!” said Holmes. “I had no idea. Watson, that you were so clever. Has your eagle eye detected anything else?” “Yes, Holmes. You have a client named Barlow, and you’ve been unsuccessful with his case.” “Dear me, how could you know that?” “I saw the name on the outside of his envelope. When you opened it, you groaned (叹息) and put it in your pocket with a frown (皱眉). “You are indeed good at noticing things around you. Any other points?” “Yes, Holmes, you’ve put on your black coat, instead of your usual dressing gown. You must be expecting an important visitor.” “Anything else?” “I could find other points, Holmes, but I’m only giving you these few, in order to show you that there are other people in the world who can be as clever as you.” “And some not so clever,” said Holmes. “I admit they are few, but I’m afraid, my dear Watson, that I miscount you among them.” “What do you mean, Holmes? You mean I was mistaken?” “Just a little that way, I fear. Let’s go over your reasoning: I didn’t shave because I’d sent my razor out to be repaired. I put on my coat because I have an early appointment with my dentist. His name is Barlow, and the letter was to confirm the time. But go on, Watson! It’s a simple trick, and no doubt you’ll soon master it.” 1．What can you know about Holmes according to the conversation? A．He is good at reasoning. B．He often plays tricks on others. C．He often looks untidy. D．He is always absent-minded. 2．Why is Watson giving Holmes some examples? A．To help Holmes solve a case. B．To show that he is as clever as Holmes. C．To talk about their suspect. D．To discuss how to be a good detective. 3．What does the underlined word “them” in the conversation refer to? A．People who know Holmes well. B．People who are really successful. C．People who look like Holmes. D．People who are not so clever. 4．How might Watson feel at the end of the conversation? A．Unhappy. B．Proud. C．Nervous. D．Excited. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了Watson自以为自己很聪明，能够识别福尔摩斯的诡计，但福尔摩斯告诉他，他的推理有误，他并没有自己想象中的那么聪明。 1．细节理解题。根据“I was just thinking about how easily you picked up all these tricks of yours.”及“Would you care to give me an example of my method of reasoning?”可知，福尔摩斯擅长推理。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“I could find other points, Holmes, but I’m only giving you these few, in order to show you that there are other people in the world who can be as clever as you.”可知，Watson给福尔摩斯举一些例子是为了表明他和福尔摩斯一样聪明。故选B。 3．词义猜测题。根据“‘And some not so clever,’ said Holmes. ‘I admit they are few, but I’m afraid, my dear Watson, that I miscount you among them.’”可知，“还有一些不那么聪明的人，”福尔摩斯说，“我承认他们很少，但我恐怕，我亲爱的Watson，我把你漏掉了。”，由此可知，them指代前文“不那么聪明的人”。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“What do you mean, Holmes? You mean I was mistaken?”及“Just a little that way, I fear.”可知，福尔摩斯最后告诉Watson，他的推理有误，由此可知他可能会感到不高兴。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·江苏宿迁市宿城区新区教学共同体·期末） Pinocchio had a fever. The Fairy took a glass of water with medicine and said lovingly to Pinocchio, “Drink this, and you will be up and well.” Pinocchio looked at the glass worriedly and said, “I’d rather die than drink that awful medicine.” At that moment the door of the room flew open and in came four Rabbits as black as ink, carrying a small black coffin (棺材) on their shoulders. “What do you want?” asked Pinocchio. “We have come for you,” said the largest Rabbit. “Oh, Fairy, my Fairy,” the Pinocchio cried out. “Give me that glass! Quick, please! I don’t want to die!” And holding the glass with his two hands he swallowed (吞下) the medicine quickly. Then the rabbits had to leave. After that, the Fairy added, “Pinocchio, tell me how you were in the hands of the robbers last time.” “I had five gold pieces to give to my Father, but on the way I met two robbers. They tied my neck with a rope and hung me to a tree.” said Pinocchio. “Where are the gold pieces now?” the Fairy asked. “I lost them,” answered Pinocchio. As he spoke, his nose became at least two inches longer. “And where did you lose them?” “In the wood nearby.” At this second lie his nose grew a few more inches. “If you lost them in the nearby wood,” said the Fairy, “we’ll look for them and find them.” “Ah, now I remember,” replied Pinocchio, “I did not lose the gold pieces, but I swallowed them.” At this third lie, his nose became longer than ever. The Fairy sat looking at him and laughing. “Why do you laugh?” Pinocchio asked her, worried now at the sight of his growing nose. “I am laughing at your lies.” “How do you know I am lying?” “Lies, my boy, are known in a moment. There are two kinds of lies, lies with short legs and lies with long noses. Yours, just now, happen to have long noses.” (Adapted from The Adventures of Pinocchio) 1．How did the Fairy make Pinocchio drink medicine? A．By telling him with lovely words.

As he spoke, his nose became at least two inches longer.” “At this second lie his nose grew a few more inches.”以及“At this third lie, his nose became longer than ever.”可知，皮诺曹对仙女说谎是因为他不想失去金币。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“After that, the Fairy added, ‘Pinocchio, tell me how you were in the hands of the robbers last time.’”可知，先是仙女询问皮诺曹关于强盗的事情；根据“ ‘Where are the gold pieces now?’ the Fairy asked. ‘I lost them,’ answered Pinocchio. As he spoke, his nose became at least two inches longer.” “At this second lie his nose grew a few more inches.”可知，然后皮诺曹对仙女说谎；根据“At this third lie, his nose became longer than ever.”以及“The Fairy sat looking at him and laughing.”可知，接着仙女嘲笑皮诺曹的鼻子；根据以上分析可知，正确的顺序是④②①③。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“Pinocchio looked at the glass worriedly and said, ‘I’d rather die than drink that awful medicine.’”可知，皮诺曹是害怕的；根据“ ‘Where are the gold pieces now?’ the Fairy asked. ‘I lost them,’ answered Pinocchio.

He lived on milk from the she-wolf first, but she soon began to give him meat. Wolves live only on meat. There came a time when there was no meat. For many days, the cubs did not eat. They were too weak and tired to play. One-Eye, the cub’s father, was killed in a fight over food. Even the she-wolf left the cave to find meat, but there was nothing.

He was nearly dead when the she-wolf arrived just in time to kill and eat it. The gray cub was not good at hunting yet, and still needed food from his mother. One day, the she-wolf brought him a lynx (猞猁) kitten. While eating, he heard great noise. The kitten’s mother had followed the she-wolf here. They started to fight, and would fight to the death. He ran forward and bit one of her legs. The bite was enough to give the she-wolf the chance she needed. The lynx was dead, but the she-wolf was badly hurt, she did not move.
