考前押题03 阅读理解之记叙文 Passage 1 “Don’t forget to study for the history test on Friday,” Mrs. Beville told the class. Julie closed her book and thought to herself, “Why couldn’t the test be on poetry (诗歌)?” Julie loved poetry and its expression of feelings and ideas. She was also a perfect monitor (班长) and could organize all kinds of events, but her history was poor. The following day, she decided to use the library time to study. With her textbook open in front of her, she tried to remember all the facts and dates. But it was useless. She hid her face in the pages of the book. “Impossible!” “Julie!” Julie looked up. Maria, from her class, was sitting beside her. “Want to study together?” Maria asked. Julie joined Maria, who was sitting with some cards and colored pencils in front of her. On each card was a colorful painting. Julie said, “I thought you were studying history.”“This is how I study,” Maria replied, “I like art, and the pictures help me recall facts. Sometimes memorization isn’t enough, and I have to get creative.” “I see,” said Julie, with interest. After thinking for a while, an idea came to her mind. She had rich experience in organizing big events, starting from making small plans step by step. How did she connect all of them at last? Mind maps! “Hey, Maria,” said Julie. “How about this: I divide these history events into different types (类型) and use a mind map to connect each type together. And you draw the pictures for these types as their explanation (解释).” “That’s cool! Let’s start right now!" Maria agreed excitedly. “Sure,” said Julie. At that time, studying didn’t seem so impossible. And what you need to do is find what you are good at and make full use of it. 1．How did Julie feel learning history was when she studied alone in the library? A．Interesting. B．Hard. C．Useful.

He was smart and an excellent speaker. The support of the king of Zhao allowed him to quickly gain power in the government. However, Lin Xiangru’s rapid success made others, including Lian Po, quite unhappy. Lian Po felt it was unfair that Lin Xiangru, who just talked, could now give him orders. Lian Po had risked his life for his position, while he thought Lin Xiangru had done almost nothing. Angry, Lian Po planned to embarrass Lin Xiangru. When Lin Xiangru learned about Lian Po’s plan, he decided to avoid him. He stopped going out and even acted sick to have an excuse to stay at home. One day, Lin Xiangru had to go out.

As the prime minister and the head of the army, they both had important responsibilities for keeping Zhao running smoothly. He refused to let their personal disagreement hurt the kingdom.

Ever since I was very young, I’ve asked “What should I do?” many times. I just didn’t want to make mistakes. Maybe it was because I was a little scared to take my first step by myself. During my middle school years, I changed. It was when I decided to try for the lead in Beauty and the Beast without asking Dad for advice. I didn’t mind that I would have to memorize lines and movements (动作). Also, I was willing to take the risk of failing. On the day of the audition (试镜), I kept telling myself, “If you think you can’t do it the right way, just don’t go.” My hands were shaking so badly that I couldn’t say clear words. I wasn’t certain whether people would hear me. But something happened. When I opened my mouth, I found the sound was loud, powerful and sweet! And I even reached the high notes that I’d never reached! It was fantastic! I was trying bravely even though I might fail. But I didn’t. That audition wasn’t the end of the problems that stopped me from trying, but it was an important part of the process of growing. That day, I realized that if I want to enjoy my life completely, I have to push myself. Because my parents, friends and teachers don’t always have the answer to “What should I do?” Now, I take these small chances every day. For example, I share my opinions in class discussions, I ride my horse to jump over a three-foot height and so on. “Life is learning to handle something unexpected,” Dad stated (陈述) in his speech. But I now know that the plan I make for my life will become easier and easier as I take more chances. 21．What did the writer decide to do during her middle school years without asking Dad for advice?

A．Dad’s Speech B．My Middle School Years C．Taking Chances and Growing Up D．The Unhappy Audition Experience Passage 6（24-25九年级上·湖北恩施·期末） Who invented the umbrella? There are many different opinions. Some people say that the people of ancient Egypt invented it. Some say the Romans invented it. And some say Luban’s wife invented it in ancient China. There is even an interesting story about its invention in China. Luban (507B．C．—444B．C．) was the most famous craftsman (工匠) in ancient China. One day, Luban and his wife were taking a walk and enjoying the beautiful view. Suddenly it began to rain. Both of them were soaked when they got back home. Luban’s wife said, “If there is something that can protect people from the rain when they are working outdoors, it will be wonderful.” then Luban said, “That’s easy. I will build many pavilions (亭子).” His wife replied, “That’s a good idea, but it is not convenient. Is it possible to make a movable (可移动的) pavilion which could always follow the people?” She thought all day and all night. One day, she saw some kids playing in the rain and each kid held a big lotus (荷叶) leaf over the head to protect themselves from getting wet. Then she came up with a great idea. So she made the first umbrella in ancient China. Since the umbrella was invented, it has been part of people’s life in every corner of the world. Right now, there are many kinds of umbrellas, such as sun umbrellas, beach umbrellas, kid umbrellas, market umbrellas and so on. How many umbrellas are made every year in the world? Maybe millions or even more. One interesting thing is that most umbrellas in the world are made in China.

Passage 7 When I was about 12, I had an “enemy”, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, and then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time, I go to fairly clear picture of myself. I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you.” “Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.” Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice. 根据短文内容选择正确答案。 31．What does “Week by week her list grew” mean? A．She discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.

A friend of mine, Stephen, has started training for one, but the idea of completing 26 miles surprises me a lot because it puts a lot of stress on the body. First, Stephen went to his doctor to make sure he didn’t have heart disease. When he was told he was fit enough to do it, my friend started running every afternoon. He keeps training and makes progress every day. All this training is helping him a lot. Experts advised him to warm up just before the race because he might get hurt during the race. The biggest problem during the marathon seems to be the water. Experts say that on a hot and humid (湿热的) day we can lose too much water. Those who don’t drink enough may suffer a lot. It means they’ll feel very tired because marathon running can lead to a problem in blood pressure. Judy O’Sullivan, a nurse at the British Heart Foundation, advises, “It’s important that you train in a right way. Make sure that you join the event step by step and safely. On the day of your event, remember to warm up, and rest if you feel pain or uncomfortable.” According to experts, a month before the race, a marathon runner should be able to go for 15 miles without feeling too much pressure. Well, Stephen is close to achieving this. I’m proud of my friend’s effort, but I miss our afternoons drinking beer, eating food and watching football. Stephen said running a marathon is all his dream. He said if he doesn’t make it this time, he will keep trying. Good on him! Go Stephen! Go. 36．How did the writer feel after hearing the news? A．Surprised. B．Worried. C．Interested. D．Excited. 37．What’s the right order of Stephen’s preparations for the marathon? ①Training                ②warming up            ③Visiting doctors            ④Running A．①②③④ B．①③②④ C．③②①④ D．③①②④ 38．The experts say ______ is the biggest problem when running a marathon. A．losing too much water B．joining the event hurriedly C．having heart disease D．completing 26 miles 39．What does the underlined word “suffer” mean? A．Being hot. B．Being painful. C．Being hungry. D．Being stressed. 40．Why is the writer proud of Stephen’s effort? A．Because he does things step by step. B．Because he has dreams and never gives up. C．Because he shares happiness with friends.

Passage 9（24-25九年级上·湖北孝感·期末） Christina wanted to lead the way back to camp and went on talking cheerfully, asking different kinds of questions about plants and wildlife. As we walked about halfway down the hillside, she fell over a stone. I ran slowly to where she tripped (绊倒). Suddenly, I saw a lion about ten feet up on a huge rock watching me. It was making a long deep angry sound. I stood perfectly still, holding my breath, wondering what to do. Christina was crying down below. I couldn’t shout to her to be quiet, or the lion might attack (攻击) me. Then, remembering Dad’s words, I slowly dropped my backpack (背包) and took off my T-shirt. With the backpack on one arm and the T-shirt on the other, I spread my arms, trying to look as wide and big as I could.

There’s a lion at the top.” We moved quietly and slowly down the hill. Once back to the forest, with the lion out of view, I wiped away the sweat (汗水) from my face with my T-shirt before putting it on, and looked at Christina.

We had hiked for miles before we finally made our way back to our site. Dad saw me first. “Where have you been?” he shouted. “We were so worried,” Mother cried. “Mommy, you didn’t have to worry.

Martina Panchetti, an Italian woman living in England, shared the cutest video on social media. In it, she showed her followers the message she received in response to her mild complaint. It was too cute! “We sent a letter to our neighbors politely asking to make less noise and possibly avoid playing the piano too early in the morning,” said Martina in her video. “This is how they replied.” She continued to show some pictures of the apology letter her neighbors replied with. First of all, Martina held up the envelope to show that it was decorated with a really cute planet Earth sticker. Then, she opened it up to tell the contents. It turns out that the neighbor family’s small kids actually wrote the note! “Dear neighbors,” the letter read. “Thank you for your kind message. We realize that sometimes we can be noisy and naughty. We started learning piano and our teachers tell us to practice every day. But we sincerely apologize not considering the time of day and the weekends.” The kids also admitted to refusing their mother, who had been asking them not to play the piano at those times. “We promise you and we promise our mommy to try to be more considerate,” they added. However, this lovely letter wasn’t the only apology these thoughtful neighbors sent over. They also included some treats from their country! Martina was truly touched. “On our way to cook some Italian sweets for them,” she said in her video. What a sound way to respond!

He was the first person to walk to both The North and South Poles and make the great achievement of reaching the South Pole only on renewable energy. Swan’s stories of his trips really impressed me. It was more than 30 years ago. There were no communication tools-just endless sea and sky-and the nearest human being to him and his teammates was 2,500 kilometers away. For the next six months, they had to face all the problems by themselves. He also told us a funny thing: When taking a shower during the trip, you have to rush as fast as possible in the temperature of -30℃ to the shower and then run back to the tent. In 2017, Swan set foot on the South Pole again, this time with his son. The trip was a great deed not only because Swan was already 61 years old, well past the average age of 35 for an explorer, but also because it was the world's first trip to Antarctica to be made only using renewable resources. And now Swan is still working hard in environmental protection. Also, he talked about how important it is to save energy and protect our planet. He reminded us that the fate of our planet rests in our hands, and he wants us to believe that we young people can make a difference. After his talk, I was filled with a renewed sense of purpose and optimism. Each of us has the power to create a brighter future for our planet. 51．Robert Swan is known for being ________. A．a headteacher B．an explorer C．a father D．an expert 52．What was special about Swan’s trip to the South Pole in 2017? A．It was his first trip to the South Pole. B．He went there with his son.

B．Exploring the outer space. C．Developing communication tools. D．Saving energy and the planet. 54．Which is the right structure of the passage? （①=Paragraph 1        ②=Paragraph 2） A． B． C． D． 55．What can we infer from the text about Robert Swan’s character? A．Adventurous and responsible. B．Patient and curious. C．Caring and hard-working. D．Funny and easy-going. Passage 12（24-25九年级上·湖北宜昌·期末） A little stream (小溪) ran down from a high mountain far, far away through many villages and forests, until she reached a desert. The stream then thought, “I’ve been through countless difficulties. I should have no problem crossing this desert!” But as she started her journey, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed and was very unhappy, “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean in the end,” she said sadly to herself. At this time, a voice came, “If a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a stream.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream replied, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.” “That’s because you can’t give up what you are. If you like to do it, and let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, it can take you across, and you can reach the ocean,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now and disappear into the breeze? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. After all, she had never experienced anything like it before. “The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸气) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a stream again to continue its course.” explained the desert very patiently. “And whether you’re a stream or vapor, your nature never changes,” continued the desert. Hearing this, the little stream rushed into the open arms of the breeze, which carried her to the next stage of her life. The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to overcome the difficulties in your life to get success, you should also change the way you used to be. 56．Where did the little stream plan to reach? A．The ocean. B．The desert. C．The forest. D．The village. 57．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2? A．the stream B．the breeze C．the ocean D．the desert 58．Why did the little stream first refuse the desert’s advice? A．Because she failed many times. B．Because she was afraid of nature. C．Because she didn’t meet any difficulties. D．Because she wouldn’t give up what she was. 59．How did the little stream finally cross the desert? A．By forming a river. B．By changing her nature. C．By disappearing into the sand. D．By evaporating into the breeze. 60．What is the main idea of the story? A．The road to success is always easy. B．Our lives can be as difficult as the little stream’s. C．To succeed, we should change the way we used to be. D．We may experience difficulty in life just like the little stream. Passage 13（24-25九年级上·湖北襄阳·期末） What can you make with pieces of paper? Look at Chen Yiyan’s work! The boy in Hangzhou Foreign Language School has an amazing talent for paper-folding. He has folded a “fantasy world” with his hands. Chen wasn’t born with this talent. When he was a fourth grader, he found his brother’s paper-folding book. It got him interested in it. Following the 50 steps shown in the book, he made his first work—a paper elephant within two hours. Since then, he has read many books about paper-folding and practiced folding paper in his spare time. So far, his “fantasy world” has many members, such as monsters and robots. He made his favorite work last year. It was a paper dragon that had almost 2,000 steps.

They were in big trouble and they knew it. When the principal came in, he told the boys, “I’ve just spoken to all your parents on the phone. They have allowed me to punish you in whatever way I see fit. You have caused a lot of work for our cleaner by writing on the walls today. But he won’t do the cleaning. You will.

But when they turned to leave, the cleaner spoke. “In the country where I grew up, we hardly had books or teachers. Even to get a new pencil was a big thing,” he said. “You used pencils to write on the walls. A pencil is like a person. For a person, there is the point on the outside, but what does the work is inside,” he explained. “Every once in a while, you have to get a painful sharpening (削尖).

He won the China Youth May Fourth Medal. He also has made great progress in the improvement of rice over the years. So far he has bred (培育) 16 new kinds of rice, increasing grain (粮食) production by more than 1.5 billion kilograms. This makes sure China has enough grain to feed its people. Zhou has been offered chances to go abroad and exchange experience with others. One of the visits to the United States made Zhou realize that even though China was playing a leading role in rice research in the world, its agricultural industry was still behind other developed countries. After returning to China, Zhou began using his skills to help the country in agriculture. Instead of staying in an air-conditioned office, Zhou spent most of his time in the field.

In August, southern China experienced very high temperatures. This had a serious influence on the crops in Zhou’s field. However, Zhou never got downhearted. Zhou believed it opened a window for him to do further study. He said, “Sometimes we just need to find ways to get over high temperatures, and this also helps us choose the rice.” After going through tens of thousands of tries, Zhou and his team succeeded in creating new kinds of rice to meet the needs of people. 76．What did Zhou Lei do to help his crops?

I listened carefully but I never answered teachers’ questions. After I joined the basketball club, everything changed. At first, I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have the ability to keep up with the others in the club and they would laugh at me. But my teacher kept asking me to go for it. I agreed and decided to give it a try. Taking the courage to try was only the half of it! When I first started attending the practice courses, I didn’t even know the rules of the game. That made me feel really stupid. Luckily, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to learn the game, try my best at each practice course, and not to find any excuses for the things I didn’t know “just yet”.

Very soon I had some competitive ability though I didn’t have much confidence. As time passed by, I learned how to play basketball and how to work together. I have changed a lot since then.

This news shocked him. At that time, he searched for batteries and found that batteries may have dangerous materials that can be harmful to the environment. And over 15 billion batteries are thrown away each year worldwide. Only around 1% of them are recycled. He decided to do something because batteries also have valuable materials that can be used to make new products. In order to protect the environment, he set up an organization called “Recycle My Battery”. He offered battery-recycling boxes to schools, offices and libraries. And he actively spread his messages through speeches, blogs and many more platforms (平台)—mainly to kids, as they are the future. Gradually, his efforts have attracted more than 325 young volunteers who have already recycled over 265,000 batteries. Furthermore, they have successfully educated around 125,000 people so far. Driven by the belief that young people hold the key to recycling batteries, Sri wants to show people how to deal with the batteries properly and tell more people about the importance of recycling the batteries. “There are so many important challenges in the world, and I believe young people have the a... to solve them!

The fires have been terrible for humans, and worse for animals. Early on, most reports about the bushfires focused on the loss of land and cost to humans. Recently, people have become more aware of the effects of the fires on animals. Chris Dickman, a scientist at the University of Sydney, tried to find out how many animals might have been killed by the fires. The number he came up with was surprisingly large; over 1 billion animals. Fast animals, or those that can fly, may be able to escape a bushfire. Slow-moving animals like koalas, may not. In New South Wales, around 8. 000 koalas about a third of the state’s koalas-are believed to have been killed. In other areas. like Kangaroo Island in South Australia, as many as 25. 000 may have died. The loss of animals would be a tragedy (悲剧) anytime and anywhere, but it could be especially bad news it Australia. Because it is home to many special animals that can’t be found anywhere else. Scientists worry that the bushfires might put an end to some kinds of animals that were already in danger of dying out. It’s not just about animals killed directly by the fires. Even when animals survive (幸存), it can be hard for them to stay alive in the world left behind by the fires. That’s because many of the places they live and their sources (来源) of food have been destroyed. For that reason, workers for Australia’s National Park are using helicopters (直升飞机) to drop sweet potatoes and carrots onto 12 different areas where rock wallabies (小袋鼠) live. Rock-wallabies often survive bushfires, but can have difficulty finding enough to eat after the big fire. Other animals, like thousands of wild camels, are being killed on purpose in order to protect farms and homes. Because of the drought, thirsty camels have been invading (入侵) places where people live, looking for water. Insects and fish are also not included in the “over 1 billion” number. For fish, the worst could still be in the future. There is so much ash (灰烬) on the ground from the fires that when strong rains finally do arrive, rivers and lakes will be heavily polluted with ash. 101．Which kind of animal may have been able to escape the Australian bushfires? A．Animals that can fly and run fast. B．Slow-moving and tiny animals. C．Animals that can’t be found anywhere else. D．Animals that were already in danger of dying out. 102．Why do some animals may find it hard to stay alive after the bushfires? A．Because they cannot find places to hide. B．Because they were badly hurt in the bushfires. C．Because the fires made the air became toxic (有毒的). D．Because the fires destroyed their homes and food. 103．Why are thousands of camels being killed by people? A．People want to protect their water resources. B．People want to protect their farms and homes. C．Wild camels are dangerous to human beings. D．Wild camels will pollute the water resources there. 104．What does the underlined phrase “on purpose” mean? A．不小心的 B．措手不及的 C．有意的 D．毫无目的的 105．When is the worst for fish? A．When the fire is burning.

Julie closed her book and thought to herself, “Why couldn’t the test be on poetry (诗歌)?” Julie loved poetry and its expression of feelings and ideas. She was also a perfect monitor (班长) and could organize all kinds of events, but her history was poor. The following day, she decided to use the library time to study. With her textbook open in front of her, she tried to remember all the facts and dates. But it was useless. She hid her face in the pages of the book. “Impossible!” “Julie!” Julie looked up. Maria, from her class, was sitting beside her. “Want to study together?” Maria asked. Julie joined Maria, who was sitting with some cards and colored pencils in front of her. On each card was a colorful painting. Julie said, “I thought you were studying history.”“This is how I study,” Maria replied, “I like art, and the pictures help me recall facts. Sometimes memorization isn’t enough, and I have to get creative.” “I see,” said Julie, with interest. After thinking for a while, an idea came to her mind. She had rich experience in organizing big events, starting from making small plans step by step. How did she connect all of them at last? Mind maps! “Hey, Maria,” said Julie. “How about this: I divide these history events into different types (类型) and use a mind map to connect each type together. And you draw the pictures for these types as their explanation (解释).” “That’s cool! Let’s start right now!" Maria agreed excitedly. “Sure,” said Julie. At that time, studying didn’t seem so impossible. And what you need to do is find what you are good at and make full use of it. 1．How did Julie feel learning history was when she studied alone in the library? A．Interesting. B．Hard. C．Useful. D．Surprising. 2．How did Maria review history? A．She drew pictures. B．She went over her notebook. C．She read the textbook. D．She asked her brother for help. 3．What can be inferred (推断) about Julie and Maria? A．They often work together. B．They like drawing colorful pictures. C．They dislike historical knowledge. D．They have talents for problem-solving. 4．What is the possible ending to the story? A．Julie drew many pictures about history facts. B．Julie passed the history test in her way. C．Julie created many poems about history events. D．Julie’s history teacher helped her review history. 5．What lesson can be learned from the story? A．Two heads are better than one. B．It’s never too late to start learning. C．History makes men smart. D．Your strong points can make studying easier. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，朱莉历史差，独自学习很吃力，后来和用画画学历史的玛丽亚合作，她用思维导图梳理历史事件，两人分工后学习不再困难，还领悟到要善用自身优势学习的道理。 1．细节理解题。根据“With her textbook open in front of her, she tried to remember all the facts and dates.

Lian Po was the leader of the army and worked hard to keep Zhao safe. He was strong and took great pride in his role. Lin Xiangru, the prime minister, managed the government’s affairs (事务) very well. He was smart and an excellent speaker. The support of the king of Zhao allowed him to quickly gain power in the government. However, Lin Xiangru’s rapid success made others, including Lian Po, quite unhappy. Lian Po felt it was unfair that Lin Xiangru, who just talked, could now give him orders. Lian Po had risked his life for his position, while he thought Lin Xiangru had done almost nothing. Angry, Lian Po planned to embarrass Lin Xiangru. When Lin Xiangru learned about Lian Po’s plan, he decided to avoid him. He stopped going out and even acted sick to have an excuse to stay at home. One day, Lin Xiangru had to go out. He saw Lian Po’s carriage (马车) coming his way. Lin Xiangru quickly turned his carriage around and returned home. Other government officials made fun of him for this, but Lin Xiangru stayed calm. He explained that his problem with Lian Po was personal and shouldn’t influence their duties. As the prime minister and the head of the army, they both had important responsibilities for keeping Zhao running smoothly. He refused to let their personal disagreement hurt the kingdom. Lin Xiangru’s words touched the officials, and when Lian Po heard them, he was moved by the character of Lin Xiangru and felt regretful. He asked Lin Xiangru to excuse him. The two became good friends, and their strong friendship helped Zhao stay peaceful for many years. 11．Which part of a newspaper might the passage come from? A．Travel. B．Health. C．Culture.

B．Lian Po embarrassed Lin Xiangru. C．Lin Xiangru explained the reason. D．Lin Xiangru avoided meeting Lian Po. 15．What does the word “character” in Paragraph 4 imply (暗指)? A．Kindness. B．Bravery. C．Cleverness. D．A sense of responsibility. 【答案】11．C 12．A 13．A 14．D 15．D 【导语】本文是一篇历史故事，讲述了战国时期赵国两位重臣廉颇和蔺相如从矛盾到和解的过程，展现了蔺相如以国家利益为重的胸怀和廉颇知错能改的品质，最终两人成为好友并共同维护赵国和平。 11．推理判断题。通读全文可知，该故事围绕历史人物展开，属于文化类题材。因此，这篇文章可能来自报纸的“文化”部分。故选C。 12．细节理解题。根据“The support of the king of Zhao allowed him to quickly gain power in the government.”，“Lian Po planned to embarrass Lin Xiangru...When Lin Xiangru learned about Lian Po’s plan, he decided to avoid him. He stopped going out and even acted sick to have an excuse to stay at home.”，“Other government officials made fun of him for this...He refused to let their personal disagreement hurt the kingdom.”以及“The two became good friends, and their strong friendship helped Zhao stay peaceful for many years.”可知，事件正确顺序为：蔺相如迅速升迁→廉颇意图羞辱他→蔺相如称病回避→其他官员嘲笑蔺相如→蔺相如表示公私分明→两人和解。故选A。 13．细节理解题。根据“He was strong and took great pride in his role.”，“Angry, Lian Po planned to embarrass Lin Xiangru.”以及“he was moved by the character of Lin Xiangru and felt regretful”可知，廉颇的情绪变化为：骄傲（因军功自傲）→愤怒（不满蔺相如）→愧疚（被蔺相如感动）。故选A。 14．词句猜测题。根据“One day, Lin Xiangru had to go out. He saw Lian Po’s carriage (马车) coming his way. Lin Xiangru quickly turned his carriage around and returned home. Other government officials made fun of him for this”可知，一日，蔺相如外出，见廉颇车驾迎面而来，便迅速调转车头返回家中。其他官员因此嘲笑他。由此可知，“this”指蔺相如避见廉颇的行为。故选D。 15．词句猜测题。根据“He explained that his problem with Lian Po was personal and shouldn’t influence their duties. As the prime minister and the head of the army, they both had important responsibilities for keeping Zhao running smoothly. He refused to let their personal disagreement hurt the kingdom.”可知，此处体现了蔺相如以国家利益为重的责任感；结合“he was moved by the character of Lin Xiangru”可知，廉颇被蔺相如的品质感动了。由此推知，“character”暗指蔺相如以国家利益为重的责任感。故选D。 Passage 4（24-25九年级上·湖北襄阳·期末） Kua Fu Chasing the Sun is one of the earliest famous fables (寓言) in China. It talks about the legendary (传奇的) story of Kua Fu, who especially want to catch up with the sun.

Kua Fu would hang the snakes he caught on his ears as decorations, or hold them in his hands and wave them proudly. In a year when the weather was quite hot, the plants were almost burnt the rivers dried up and people suffered from the terrible heat of the sun. Kua Fu decided to catch the sun and tame (驯服) it to serve everyone. The sun moved fast in the sky, while Kua Fu chased it like wind on the ground. When he shook off the dust in his shoes, it became a hill; he used three stones to support his pot when he was cooking, and the stones later became three mountains. He caught up with the sun finally after nine days and nights. However, the sun was so hot that he felt thirsty and tired and went to the Yellow River and the Wei River to drink water. But the water from these two rivers was not enough to satisfy him and he decided to go to the Great Lake to drink its water. However, before he got there, he died of thirst on the way. Before his death, Kua Fu threw his walking stick away, and the place where it fell off quickly grew into huge peach (桃子) forests.

D．In a newspaper. 【答案】16．B 17．A 18．C 19．D 20．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了一篇关于中国古老寓言“夸父追日”的故事。 16．推理判断题。根据“Kua Fu Chasing the Sun is one of the earliest famous fables (寓言) in China. It talks about the legendary (传奇的) story of Kua Fu, who especially want to catch up with the sun.”可知文章开头直接点明了这是一篇关于“夸父追日”的寓言故事，因此是由通过给出文本的类型开始的文章，故选B。 17．推理判断题。根据“Kua Fu would hang the snakes he caught on his ears as decorations, or hold them in his hands and wave them proudly.”可知，夸父捕捉蛇并将其作为装饰，可以推断出夸父是一个勇敢的人，故选A。 18．词句猜测题。根据“In a year when the weather was quite hot, the plants were almost burnt the rivers dried up and people suffered from the terrible heat of the sun.”可知，这一年天气非常炎热，植物几乎被烧焦，河流干涸，人们遭受着太阳的酷热之苦。因此，“suffered from”在此处的意思是“遭受……之苦”，与选项C“stood”的“忍受”意思相近，故选C。 19．推理判断题。根据第四段和第五段的内容可知，夸父在追日的过程中展现了极大的勇气和决心，但同时也因为太阳的酷热而感到口渴和疲惫。这告诉我们，虽然我们应该有梦想并勇敢追求它们，但也要根据自己的能力来行事。夸父虽然勇敢但最终还是因为口渴而死在了路上，这说明了我们应该勇敢但要根据自己的能力来行事。故选D。 20．推理判断题。这是一篇关于中国古老寓言“夸父追日”的故事。因此，这样的故事更可能出现在故事书中。所以选项C是正确的。故选C。 Passage 5（24-25九年级上·湖北襄阳·期末） Dad read me a speech recently. He wanted to help me find answers to all my questions. Ever since I was very young, I’ve asked “What should I do?” many times. I just didn’t want to make mistakes. Maybe it was because I was a little scared to take my first step by myself. During my middle school years, I changed. It was when I decided to try for the lead in Beauty and the Beast without asking Dad for advice. I didn’t mind that I would have to memorize lines and movements (动作). Also, I was willing to take the risk of failing. On the day of the audition (试镜), I kept telling myself, “If you think you can’t do it the right way, just don’t go.” My hands were shaking so badly that I couldn’t say clear words. I wasn’t certain whether people would hear me. But something happened. When I opened my mouth, I found the sound was loud, powerful and sweet! And I even reached the high notes that I’d never reached! It was fantastic! I was trying bravely even though I might fail. But I didn’t. That audition wasn’t the end of the problems that stopped me from trying, but it was an important part of the process of growing. That day, I realized that if I want to enjoy my life completely, I have to push myself. Because my parents, friends and teachers don’t always have the answer to “What should I do?” Now, I take these small chances every day. For example, I share my opinions in class discussions, I ride my horse to jump over a three-foot height and so on. “Life is learning to handle something unexpected,” Dad stated (陈述) in his speech. But I now know that the plan I make for my life will become easier and easier as I take more chances. 21．What did the writer decide to do during her middle school years without asking Dad for advice? A．Join a speech competition. B．Volunteer for a community activity C．Take part in a horse-riding competition. D．Try for the lead in Beauty and the Beast. 22．The writer’s hands were shaking badly during the audition, because she was ________. A．too cold B．so nervous C．very excited D．seriously ill 23．The underlined word “handle” probably means “________”. A．deal with B．worry about C．put on D．look for 24．The writer’s experience of the audition tells us that ________. A．failure is the end of everything B．we should always listen to our parents’ advice C．it’s not important to prepare well for an audition D．trying something new can bring unexpected results 25．The best title for this passage could be ________. A．Dad’s Speech B．My Middle School Years C．Taking Chances and Growing Up D．The Unhappy Audition Experience 【答案】21．D 22．B 23．A 24．D 25．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者通过参加试镜得到成长的故事。 21．细节理解题。根据第二段“During my middle school years, I changed. It was when I decided to try for the lead in Beauty and the Beast without asking Dad for advice.”可知，作者在中学期间决定尝试《美女与野兽》的主演。故选D。 22．推理判断题。根据第三段“On the day of the audition, I kept telling myself, ‘If you think you can’t do it the right way, just don’t go.’ My hands were shaking so badly that I couldn’t say clear words.”可知，作者在试镜的时候手颤抖是因为紧张。故选B。 23．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“‘Life is learning to handle something unexpected,’ Dad stated (陈述) in his speech.”可知，生活就是学会处理一些意想不到的事情。所以，handle意为“处理”。故选A。 24．推理判断题。根据最后一段“But I now know that the plan I make for my life will become easier and easier as I take more chances.”可知，作者认为尝试新事物可以带来意想不到的结果。故选D。 25．最佳标题题。根据最后一段“But I now know that the plan I make for my life will become easier and easier as I take more chances.”和全文可知，作者鼓励大家抓住机会，不断成长。故选C。 Passage 6（24-25九年级上·湖北恩施·期末） Who invented the umbrella? There are many different opinions. Some people say that the people of ancient Egypt invented it. Some say the Romans invented it. And some say Luban’s wife invented it in ancient China. There is even an interesting story about its invention in China. Luban (507B．C．—444B．C．) was the most famous craftsman (工匠) in ancient China. One day, Luban and his wife were taking a walk and enjoying the beautiful view. Suddenly it began to rain. Both of them were soaked when they got back home. Luban’s wife said, “If there is something that can protect people from the rain when they are working outdoors, it will be wonderful.” then Luban said, “That’s easy. I will build many pavilions (亭子).” His wife replied, “That’s a good idea, but it is not convenient. Is it possible to make a movable (可移动的) pavilion which could always follow the people?” She thought all day and all night. One day, she saw some kids playing in the rain and each kid held a big lotus (荷叶) leaf over the head to protect themselves from getting wet. Then she came up with a great idea. So she made the first umbrella in ancient China. Since the umbrella was invented, it has been part of people’s life in every corner of the world. Right now, there are many kinds of umbrellas, such as sun umbrellas, beach umbrellas, kid umbrellas, market umbrellas and so on. How many umbrellas are made every year in the world? Maybe millions or even more. One interesting thing is that most umbrellas in the world are made in China. Shangyu in Zhejiang province alone has more than 1,000 umbrella factories and it is called “China Umbrella City”. 26．How many opinions about the inventor of the umbrellas are given in Paragraph 1? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 27．What does the underlined phrase “soaked” mean in English? A．wet B．tired C．angry D．hurt 28．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．Who invented the umbrella? B．When was the umbrella invented? C．Where was the umbrella invented? D．How was the umbrella invented? 29．What do we know about Shangyu, Zhejiang? A．Most of the world’s umbrellas are made there. B．Luban was born there. C．It has more than 1,000 umbrella factories. D．It is called “World Umbrella City”. 30．Which of the following is RIGHT? A．The umbrella has four different kinds. B．The umbrella has a history of thousands of years. C．Luban invented the umbrella. D．The thought of inventing the umbrella comes from pavilions. 【答案】26．B 27．A 28．D 29．C 30．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了关于雨伞的历史，详细地介绍了鲁班的妻子是如何发明雨伞的。 26．细节理解题。根据“There are many different opinions. Some people say that the people of ancient Egypt invented it. Some say the Romans invented it. And some say Luban’s wife invented it in ancient China.”可知，第一段提到了三种关于雨伞发明者的观点。故选B。 27．词义猜测题。根据“One day, Luban and his wife were taking a walk and enjoying the beautiful view. Suddenly it began to rain. Both of them were soaked when they got back home.”可知，他们在外面走着突然下雨了，回家后应该是湿透了，所以“soaked”是wet“湿的”的意思。故选A。 28．主旨大意题。根据“One day, she saw some kids playing in the rain and each kid held a big lotus (荷叶) leaf over the head to protect themselves from getting wet. Then she came up with a great idea. So she made the first umbrella in ancient China.”可知，第二段主要讲述了鲁班妻子看到小孩用荷叶遮雨后受到启发发明了雨伞，所以主要讲的是雨伞是如何被发明的。故选D。 29．细节理解题。根据“Shangyu in Zhejiang province alone has more than 1,000 umbrella factories”可知，浙江上虞有1000多家雨伞工厂。故选C。 30．细节理解题。根据“Luban’s wife...then she came up with a great idea. So she made the first umbrella in ancient China.”可知，发明雨伞的想法来自荷叶，而不是亭子，所以D选项错误；根据“Since the umbrella was invented, it has been part of people’s life in every corner of the world.”可知雨伞历史悠久，有上千年历史，B选项正确；A选项文中未提及雨伞有四种不同种类；C选项文中未表明是鲁班发明了雨伞，而是他妻子发明的。故选B。 Passage 7 When I was about 12, I had an “enemy”, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, and then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time, I go to fairly clear picture of myself. I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you.” “Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.” Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice. 根据短文内容选择正确答案。 31．What does “Week by week her list grew” mean? A．She discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me. B．She kept on writing down my shortcomings on the paper list. C．I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on. D．Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious. 32．What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint? A．He agreed with her “enemy” and believed that she needed to change. B．He let her continue to put up with her “enemy” and not change at all. C．He told her not to pay attention to anything her “enemy” had said. D．He told her to mark the true things in her “enemy” words and pay no attention to the rest. 33．How does the daughter’s emotion change according to the passage? A．Sad— Angry— Upset B．Angry— Calm— Thankful C．Uneasy— Calm— Proud D．Lonely— Cheerful— Relaxed 34．What do you think the writer’s father might be like? A．Quiet and careless. B．Wise and caring. C．Honest and outgoing. D．Kind and popular. 35．Which do you think would be the best title for this passage? A．Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend B．My Father C．The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had D．My Childhood 【答案】31．A 32．D 33．B 34．B 35．C 【导语】本文讲述了作者大约12岁时，有个女孩总指出她的缺点，作者向父亲哭诉，父亲给了她建议，她按建议做并有所改变的故事。 31．词句猜测题。根据“When I was about 12, I had an ‘enemy’, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew.”可知，那个女孩喜欢指出作者的缺点，“Week by week her list grew”意思是她发现了作者更多的缺点并指出来，所以选项A“她发现了我更多的缺点，并给我指出来。”符合，故选A。 32．细节理解题。根据“Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”可知，父亲告诉她标记出“敌人”话语中真实的事情，不要理会其余的，故选D。 33．细节理解题。根据“I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. ”以及“I did as he told me.

A friend of mine, Stephen, has started training for one, but the idea of completing 26 miles surprises me a lot because it puts a lot of stress on the body. First, Stephen went to his doctor to make sure he didn’t have heart disease. When he was told he was fit enough to do it, my friend started running every afternoon. He keeps training and makes progress every day. All this training is helping him a lot. Experts advised him to warm up just before the race because he might get hurt during the race. The biggest problem during the marathon seems to be the water. Experts say that on a hot and humid (湿热的) day we can lose too much water. Those who don’t drink enough may suffer a lot. It means they’ll feel very tired because marathon running can lead to a problem in blood pressure. Judy O’Sullivan, a nurse at the British Heart Foundation, advises, “It’s important that you train in a right way. Make sure that you join the event step by step and safely. On the day of your event, remember to warm up, and rest if you feel pain or uncomfortable.” According to experts, a month before the race, a marathon runner should be able to go for 15 miles without feeling too much pressure. Well, Stephen is close to achieving this. I’m proud of my friend’s effort, but I miss our afternoons drinking beer, eating food and watching football. Stephen said running a marathon is all his dream. He said if he doesn’t make it this time, he will keep trying. Good on him! Go Stephen! Go. 36．How did the writer feel after hearing the news? A．Surprised. B．Worried. C．Interested. D．Excited. 37．What’s the right order of Stephen’s preparations for the marathon? ①Training                ②warming up            ③Visiting doctors            ④Running A．①②③④ B．①③②④ C．③②①④ D．③①②④ 38．The experts say ______ is the biggest problem when running a marathon. A．losing too much water B．joining the event hurriedly C．having heart disease D．completing 26 miles 39．What does the underlined word “suffer” mean? A．Being hot. B．Being painful. C．Being hungry. D．Being stressed. 40．Why is the writer proud of Stephen’s effort? A．Because he does things step by step. B．Because he has dreams and never gives up. C．Because he shares happiness with friends. D．Because he completes a marathon after training hard. 【答案】36．A 37．D 38．A 39．B 40．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的朋友Stephen为了参加马拉松比赛，在身体和精神上做准备的故事。 36．细节理解题。根据第一段“A friend of mine, Stephen, has started training for one, but the idea of completing 26 miles surprises me a lot because it puts a lot of stress on the body.”可知，作者听到朋友Stephen要参加马拉松训练的消息后感到非常惊讶。故选A。 37．细节理解题。根据第二段“First, Stephen went to his doctor to make sure he didn’t have heart disease.”可知，他首先去看医生，确保他没有心脏病，③“看医生”排第一；根据第二段“He keeps training and makes progress every day.”可知，他坚持训练，①“训练”排第二；根据第三段“Experts advised him to warm up just before the race because he might get hurt during the race.”可知，专家建议他在比赛前热身，②“热身”排第三；最后才是参加比赛，④“跑步 (比赛)”排第四，所以正确的顺序是③①②④。故选D。 38．推理判断题。根据第三段“The biggest problem during the marathon seems to be the water. Experts say that on a hot and humid day we can lose too much water. Those who don’t drink enough may suffer a lot.”可知，专家认为马拉松比赛中最大的问题是水，在湿热天气下可能会流失过多水分，不喝足够水的人会很痛苦；据此可以推断，流失过多水分是最大的问题。故选A。 39．词义猜测题。根据第三段“Those who don’t drink enough may suffer a lot. It means they’ll feel very tired because marathon running can lead to a problem in blood pressure.”可知，不喝足够水的人会因为马拉松跑步导致血压问题而感到非常疲惫；据此可以推断，划线单词“suffer”的意思是“痛苦的，难受的”，与“Being painful”同义。故选B。 40．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Stephen said running a marathon is all his dream. He said if he doesn’t make it this time, he will keep trying.”以及最后一段“Good on him! Go Stephen! Go.”可知，作者为Stephen的努力感到骄傲是因为Stephen有梦想，并且表示如果这次不成功还会继续尝试，即不放弃梦想。故选B。 Passage 9（24-25九年级上·湖北孝感·期末） Christina wanted to lead the way back to camp and went on talking cheerfully, asking different kinds of questions about plants and wildlife. As we walked about halfway down the hillside, she fell over a stone. I ran slowly to where she tripped (绊倒). Suddenly, I saw a lion about ten feet up on a huge rock watching me. It was making a long deep angry sound. I stood perfectly still, holding my breath, wondering what to do. Christina was crying down below. I couldn’t shout to her to be quiet, or the lion might attack (攻击) me. Then, remembering Dad’s words, I slowly dropped my backpack (背包) and took off my T-shirt. With the backpack on one arm and the T-shirt on the other, I spread my arms, trying to look as wide and big as I could. Carefully I moved away down the hillside toward Christina, keeping my eyes on the lion. “Christina,” I called. “Stop crying. Get up slowly and catch my belt. We’re going down the hill. There’s a lion at the top.” We moved quietly and slowly down the hill. Once back to the forest, with the lion out of view, I wiped away the sweat (汗水) from my face with my T-shirt before putting it on, and looked at Christina. Hatless, red eyes, a few small cuts but nothing serious. I pulled out the map. The campground was on the other side of the hill. We had hiked for miles before we finally made our way back to our site. Dad saw me first. “Where have you been?” he shouted. “We were so worried,” Mother cried. “Mommy, you didn’t have to worry.

Martina Panchetti, an Italian woman living in England, shared the cutest video on social media. In it, she showed her followers the message she received in response to her mild complaint. It was too cute! “We sent a letter to our neighbors politely asking to make less noise and possibly avoid playing the piano too early in the morning,” said Martina in her video. “This is how they replied.” She continued to show some pictures of the apology letter her neighbors replied with. First of all, Martina held up the envelope to show that it was decorated with a really cute planet Earth sticker. Then, she opened it up to tell the contents. It turns out that the neighbor family’s small kids actually wrote the note! “Dear neighbors,” the letter read. “Thank you for your kind message. We realize that sometimes we can be noisy and naughty. We started learning piano and our teachers tell us to practice every day. But we sincerely apologize not considering the time of day and the weekends.” The kids also admitted to refusing their mother, who had been asking them not to play the piano at those times. “We promise you and we promise our mommy to try to be more considerate,” they added. However, this lovely letter wasn’t the only apology these thoughtful neighbors sent over. They also included some treats from their country! Martina was truly touched. “On our way to cook some Italian sweets for them,” she said in her video. What a sound way to respond! If anything, this exchange has probably strengthened the bond between these neighbors. 46．Martina sent the neighbors a letter because of ________.

He was the first person to walk to both The North and South Poles and make the great achievement of reaching the South Pole only on renewable energy. Swan’s stories of his trips really impressed me. It was more than 30 years ago. There were no communication tools-just endless sea and sky-and the nearest human being to him and his teammates was 2,500 kilometers away. For the next six months, they had to face all the problems by themselves. He also told us a funny thing: When taking a shower during the trip, you have to rush as fast as possible in the temperature of -30℃ to the shower and then run back to the tent. In 2017, Swan set foot on the South Pole again, this time with his son. The trip was a great deed not only because Swan was already 61 years old, well past the average age of 35 for an explorer, but also because it was the world's first trip to Antarctica to be made only using renewable resources. And now Swan is still working hard in environmental protection. Also, he talked about how important it is to save energy and protect our planet. He reminded us that the fate of our planet rests in our hands, and he wants us to believe that we young people can make a difference. After his talk, I was filled with a renewed sense of purpose and optimism. Each of us has the power to create a brighter future for our planet. 51．Robert Swan is known for being ________.

B．Exploring the outer space. C．Developing communication tools. D．Saving energy and the planet. 54．Which is the right structure of the passage? （①=Paragraph 1        ②=Paragraph 2） A． B． C． D． 55．What can we infer from the text about Robert Swan’s character? A．Adventurous and responsible. B．Patient and curious. C．Caring and hard-working. D．Funny and easy-going. 【答案】51．B 52．C 53．D 54．A 55．A 【导语】这篇文章是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了Robert Swan的探险经历、环保行动及对听众的影响。 51．细节理解题。根据“British polar explorer and environmentalist, Robert Swan”可知，他的身份是“探险家”，故选B。 52．细节理解题。根据“it was the world's first trip to Antarctica to be made only using renewable resources”可知，Swan的2017南极之旅的特殊之处是“仅使用可再生能源”，故选C。 53．细节理解题。根据“he talked about how important it is to save energy and protect our planet”可知，Swan关注的重点是“节约能源和保护地球”，故选D。 54．篇章结构题。本文第一段引出了人物Robert Swan及其成就；第二、三、四段介绍了Robert Swan的探险经历细节、他2017年南极之旅的特殊性和他的环保理念；第五段总结了作者听完Robert Swan演讲的感受。 因此文章的结构为总——分——总，故选A。 55．推理判断题。根据Swan的极地探险经历和倡导环保可知，可推断他的性格特点是“冒险且负责任”，故选A。 Passage 12（24-25九年级上·湖北宜昌·期末） A little stream (小溪) ran down from a high mountain far, far away through many villages and forests, until she reached a desert.

After many tries, she still failed and was very unhappy, “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean in the end,” she said sadly to herself. At this time, a voice came, “If a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a stream.” It was the voice of the desert.

They were in big trouble and they knew it. When the principal came in, he told the boys, “I’ve just spoken to all your parents on the phone. They have allowed me to punish you in whatever way I see fit. You have caused a lot of work for our cleaner by writing on the walls today. But he won’t do the cleaning. You will. In fact, you boys will clean the walls every day after school for the next week.” After school that day, the boys went to the cleaner. He looked at them, and without a word, he pointed to some buckets (桶) of water, soap and brushes. The work took a long time. Whenever they thought they had cleaned enough, the cleaner would point out somewhere they had missed. But he never spoke. On the last day, they finally finished the job. But when they turned to leave, the cleaner spoke. “In the country where I grew up, we hardly had books or teachers. Even to get a new pencil was a big thing,” he said. “You used pencils to write on the walls. A pencil is like a person. For a person, there is the point on the outside, but what does the work is inside,” he explained. “Every once in a while, you have to get a painful sharpening (削尖). That is what you’ve had this week,” he said. “From now on, instead of leaving your mark on the walls, leave your mark on life. Write your own story using what’s inside you.” The boys understood and they never wrote on any walls again. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 71．What did the principal do to punish the four boys?

So far he has bred (培育) 16 new kinds of rice, increasing grain (粮食) production by more than 1.5 billion kilograms. This makes sure China has enough grain to feed its people. Zhou has been offered chances to go abroad and exchange experience with others. One of the visits to the United States made Zhou realize that even though China was playing a leading role in rice research in the world, its agricultural industry was still behind other developed countries. After returning to China, Zhou began using his skills to help the country in agriculture. Instead of staying in an air-conditioned office, Zhou spent most of his time in the field. Breeding is hard, heavily affected by sunlight and temperature. So Zhou always took care of his crops 24 hours a day. Things don’t always run smoothly. In August, southern China experienced very high temperatures. This had a serious influence on the crops in Zhou’s field. However, Zhou never got downhearted. Zhou believed it opened a window for him to do further study. He said, “Sometimes we just need to find ways to get over high temperatures, and this also helps us choose the rice.” After going through tens of thousands of tries, Zhou and his team succeeded in creating new kinds of rice to meet the needs of people. 76．What did Zhou Lei do to help his crops?

I chose to sit quietly at the back of the classroom. I listened carefully but I never answered teachers’ questions. After I joined the basketball club, everything changed. At first, I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have the ability to keep up with the others in the club and they would laugh at me. But my teacher kept asking me to go for it. I agreed and decided to give it a try. Taking the courage to try was only the half of it! When I first started attending the practice courses, I didn’t even know the rules of the game. That made me feel really stupid. Luckily, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to learn the game, try my best at each practice course, and not to find any excuses for the things I didn’t know “just yet”. Soon I knew much about the rules of basketball and learned the moves from the coach. I practiced a lot. Being part of a team was so exciting. Very soon I had some competitive ability though I didn’t have much confidence. As time passed by, I learned how to play basketball and how to work together. I have changed a lot since then. In class, I often raise my hand to answer teachers’ questions. I have got much praise from my teachers and classmates.

The fires have been terrible for humans, and worse for animals. Early on, most reports about the bushfires focused on the loss of land and cost to humans. Recently, people have become more aware of the effects of the fires on animals. Chris Dickman, a scientist at the University of Sydney, tried to find out how many animals might have been killed by the fires. The number he came up with was surprisingly large; over 1 billion animals. Fast animals, or those that can fly, may be able to escape a bushfire. Slow-moving animals like koalas, may not. In New South Wales, around 8. 000 koalas about a third of the state’s koalas-are believed to have been killed. In other areas. like Kangaroo Island in South Australia, as many as 25. 000 may have died. The loss of animals would be a tragedy (悲剧) anytime and anywhere, but it could be especially bad news it Australia. Because it is home to many special animals that can’t be found anywhere else. Scientists worry that the bushfires might put an end to some kinds of animals that were already in danger of dying out. It’s not just about animals killed directly by the fires. Even when animals survive (幸存), it can be hard for them to stay alive in the world left behind by the fires. That’s because many of the places they live and their sources (来源) of food have been destroyed. For that reason, workers for Australia’s National Park are using helicopters (直升飞机) to drop sweet potatoes and carrots onto 12 different areas where rock wallabies (小袋鼠) live. Rock-wallabies often survive bushfires, but can have difficulty finding enough to eat after the big fire. Other animals, like thousands of wild camels, are being killed on purpose in order to protect farms and homes. Because of the drought, thirsty camels have been invading (入侵) places where people live, looking for water. Insects and fish are also not included in the “over 1 billion” number. For fish, the worst could still be in the future. There is so much ash (灰烬) on the ground from the fires that when strong rains finally do arrive, rivers and lakes will be heavily polluted with ash. 101．Which kind of animal may have been able to escape the Australian bushfires? A．Animals that can fly and run fast. B．Slow-moving and tiny animals. C．Animals that can’t be found anywhere else. D．Animals that were already in danger of dying out. 102．Why do some animals may find it hard to stay alive after the bushfires? A．Because they cannot find places to hide. B．Because they were badly hurt in the bushfires. C．Because the fires made the air became toxic (有毒的). D．Because the fires destroyed their homes and food. 103．Why are thousands of camels being killed by people? A．People want to protect their water resources. B．People want to protect their farms and homes. C．Wild camels are dangerous to human beings. D．Wild camels will pollute the water resources there. 104．What does the underlined phrase “on purpose” mean? A．不小心的 B．措手不及的 C．有意的 D．毫无目的的 105．When is the worst for fish? A．When the fire is burning. B．When the ash fell on the ground. C．When heavy rain comes. D．When there is no more water. 【答案】101．A 102．D 103．B 104．C 105．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了澳大利亚的森林大火季节带来了前所未有的破坏，着重介绍了大火对动物的危害。 101．细节理解题。根据“Fast animals, or those that can fly, may be able to escape a bushfire.”可知，移动快速的动物，或者会飞的动物，能够逃离丛林大火。故选A。 102．细节理解题。根据“That’s because many of the places they live and their sources (来源) of food have been destroyed.”可知，这是因为他们生活的许多地方和食物来源都被摧毁了。故选D。 103．细节理解题。根据“Other animals, like thousands of wild camels, are being killed on purpose in order to protect farms and homes”可知，为了保护农场和家园，其他动物，骆驼有意地被杀害。故选B。 104．词句猜测题。根据“Because of the drought, thirsty camels have been invading (入侵) places where people live, looking for water.”可知，人类有目的性地杀害了骆驼。故选C。 105．细节理解题。根据“For fish, the worst could still be in the future.

The young man comes from a small village in Greater Noida in India. A trip back to his hometown has totally changed his life. During the trip, Ramveer noticed that many lakes where he used to swim and play with his friends dried up because of pollution. What’s worse, many water bodies were disappearing fast.

Some of them worked with us while others offered us tools and equipment,” Ramveer said. They even succeeded in getting support from the forest department, which provided them with plants to be planted around the lakes. Since 2014, with the help of the volunteers, Ramveer has brought about twelve dead lakes back to life. Of course, he doesn’t plan to stop there.
