Perhaps as a famous poet who loved his country. But do you know that Lu is also a “slasher (斜杠青年)” of his time? If he had a social media profile (简介), it might read like this: poet/politician (政治家)/food expert/cat person. On Nov 13, people celebrated the 900th birthday of Lu. Born in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), Lu was one of the most prolific (高产的) poets in Chinese history. About 9,300 of his poems are still around today. Many of his poems are filled with a desire (渴望) to protect his homeland, making him a famous patriotic (爱国的) poet. As a politician, Lu tried his best to offer advice to the government. At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty was invaded (入侵) by the northern Jin Dynasty (1115-1234). Lu spoke out against the Song government’s weak response and called for fighting back. However, he was demoted (被降职) because of his strong opinions. Despite being unhappy with government work, Lu found joy in other passions (爱好). For example, he loved flowers and food a lot. While serving in the Shu region, he wrote a book that listed 65 peony (牡丹) types. He also wrote over 100 poems about cooking and growing vegetables. Many believe that his secret to long life – he lived to 85 – was his healthy eating habits. He even wrote a poem about the benefits of congee (粥). Lu also found comfort in his cat friends. He wrote funny poems to his cats, showing how cute they are and how they gave him warmth on cold days. The poems show that he was a true “cat person”. As a mix of a great national dreamer and someone who loved life’s small joys, Lu showed us that a full life can be built with many “slashes”! 1. What is a slasher? A. People who work as poets. B.

If you were asked to introduce Lu You, how would you describe him? Perhaps as a famous poet who loved his country.如果让你介绍陆游，你会怎么描述他？或许是一位热爱祖国的著名诗人。 结构分析：前半句是含被动语态的条件状语从句：“If you were asked to introduce Lu You”（条件状语从句，“were asked”是一般过去时的被动语态）+ 主句“how would you describe him?”（特殊疑问句作主句）；后半句是省略结构+定语从句：“Perhaps as a famous poet”（省略了主句“you would describe him”），其中“who loved his country”是定语从句，修饰“poet”。 2. If he had a social media profile, it might read like this: poet/politician/food expert/cat person.要是他有社交媒体简介，内容大概会是这样：诗人/政治家/美食专家/猫奴。 结构分析：这是虚拟语气复合句（描述与现实不符的假设）：“If he had a social media profile”是虚拟条件句（对现在的假设，用一般过去时“had”）；“it might read like this”是主句（“might”体现虚拟语气）；冒号后是列举成分，补充说明“profile”的具体内容。 3. Many of his poems are filled with a desire to protect his homeland, making him a famous patriotic poet.他的许多诗作都饱含保家卫国的渴望，这让他成为了著名的爱国诗人。 结构分析：主句是“be filled with”结构：“Many of his poems are filled with a desire”（“to protect his homeland”是不定式作后置定语，修饰“desire”）；后半句是现在分词作结果状语：“making him a famous patriotic poet”（“making”表前文内容带来的自然结果）。 4. As a mix of a great national dreamer and someone who loved life’s small joys, Lu showed us that a full life can be built with many “slashes”!心怀家国的理想者，又懂品味生活小确幸的人，陆游向我们证明：用诸多“斜杠”能构建出充实的人生！ 结构分析：开头是介词短语作状语：“As a mix of... and someone”（“as”表“作为”），其中“who loved life’s small joys”是定语从句，修饰“someone”。主句是“show sb. that”结构：“Lu showed us”后接“that”引导的宾语从句（“a full life can be built...”是被动语态的宾语从句）。 【答案与解析】1—4 CDBD 1.答案：C，解析：文章第一段提到陆游的社交简介是“poet/politician/food expert/cat person”（诗人/政治家/美食专家/猫奴），结合“slasher（斜杠青年）”的定义，可知“slasher”指的是“生活中有多种身份角色的人”，对应选项C。 2.D，解析：文章第四段开头明确提到“Despite being unhappy with government work”（尽管对官场工作不满），且前文提到他因直言被贬职，说明他对做官的感受是“失望的”，对应选项D。 3.B，解析：文章第四段指出“Many believe that his secret to long life – he lived to 85 – was his healthy eating habits”（很多人认为他长寿的秘诀是健康的饮食习惯），“healthy eating habits”对应选项B的“healthy diet（健康饮食）”。 4.D，解析：文章最后一句提到“a full life can be built with many ‘slashes’”（用多个“斜杠”可以构建充实的人生），“full life”对应选项D的“more meaningful life（更有意义的生活）”。其他选项：A（长寿）并非“斜杠”的直接优势；B（给他人带来快乐）文章未提及；C（在历史留名）不是“斜杠”的普遍优势，均不符合。 译文： 如果让你介绍陆游，你会怎么描述他？或许是“热爱祖国的著名诗人”。但你知道吗？陆游也是他那个时代的“斜杠青年”。要是他有社交媒体简介，大概会写：诗人/政治家/美食专家/猫奴。 11月13日，人们庆祝了陆游的900周年诞辰。陆游生于南宋（1127-1279年），是中国历史上最高产的诗人之一——如今仍有约9300首诗作传世。他的许多作品都饱含保家卫国的渴望，这让他成为著名的爱国诗人。 作为政治家，陆游竭力为朝廷建言献策。当时南宋正遭金国（1115-1234年）入侵，他公开反对朝廷的软弱应对，呼吁奋起反抗。然而，他因强硬的主张被降职。 尽管对官场工作不满，陆游却在其他爱好中找到了乐趣。比如，他痴迷花草与美食：在蜀地任职时，他写了一本书，记录了65种牡丹；还创作了100多首关于烹饪、种菜的诗。许多人认为，他活到85岁的长寿秘诀，正是健康的饮食习惯——他甚至写过一首诗，专门讲粥的益处。 陆游还从猫咪那里获得了慰藉：他给猫写过诙谐的诗，描述它们的可爱，以及寒冬里猫咪带来的温暖。这些诗足以证明，他是个货真价实的“猫奴”。 既是心怀家国的理想者，又懂品味生活的小确幸——陆游向我们证明：用诸多“斜杠”，能构建出充实的人生！ Passage B 《老人与海》 Everything about Santiago was old, except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated. “Santiago,” the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from the beach where the small boat was pulled. “I can go fishing with you again. We’ve earned some money.” The old man had taught Manolin to fish, and the boy loved him. “No,” said Santiago. “You’re on a lucky boat. Stay with them.” “But remember how you went eighty-seven days without fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks.” “I remember,” the old man said. “I know you did not leave me because you doubted.” “It was papa who made me leave. I’m just a boy—I must listen to him.” “I know,” Santiago said. “That’s quite normal.” “He doesn’t have much faith.” “No,” said the old man. “But we have, haven’t we? ” “Yes,” the boy said. “Can I offer you a beer at the Terrace? Then we’ll take your things home.” “Why not? ” Santiago smiled. “We’re both fishermen, after all.” They sat at the Terrace. Many young fishermen laughed at the old man, but he wasn’t angry. Some older fishermen looked at him, feeling sad. But they didn’t show it. They talked politely about the ocean currents (海流), how deep they put their fishing lines, the nice weather, and what they’d seen that day. The fishermen who caught fish that day were already back. They cut up their marlins, laid the fish across two long boards, and two men carried each board to the fish house. There, they waited for the ice truck to take the fish to the market in Havana. Those who caught sharks took them to the shark factory. They lifted the sharks up with ropes, took out their livers, cut off their fins, peeled off their skins, and sliced their meat into strips to salt and save. --The Old Man and the Sea (Excerpt) 1．What does the description of Santiago’s eyes mainly show about his character? A．He felt hopeless about his fishing career. B．He missed the days when he caught big fish. C．He was too old to continue fishing. D．He kept a positive spirit and never gave up. 2．Why did the boy, Manolin, leave Santiago’s boat? A．Because he doubted Santiago’s fishing skills. B．Because his father asked him to. C．Because Santiago’s boat was unlucky. D．Because he wanted to catch sharks. 3．The underlined word “it” in the sentence “But they didn’t show it” refers to ________. A．their politeness B．their knowledge of the ocean C．their sadness for Santiago D．their anger at the young fishermen 4．What can we understand from the mention of the “successful fishermen” and their marlins? A．It shows how easy it was to catch marlins in the area. B．It makes Santiago’s own bad luck especially clear. C．It explains the process of selling fish in Havana. D．It proves that Manolin made the right choice to leave. 长难句分析 1. Everything about Santiago was old, except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.圣地亚哥身上的一切都显得苍老，唯有他的眼睛除外——那双眼眸和大海同色，透着愉悦与不屈的神采。 结构分析：主句：Everything about Santiago was old（主系表结构，主语Everything+后置定语about Santiago+系动词was+表语old）；状语/补充说明：except his eyes（介词短语表“例外”）；并列分句：and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated（主语they指代“his eyes”，包含两个并列的系表结构：were the same color as the sea、were cheerful and undefeated，用and连接）。 2. “Santiago,” the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from the beach where the small boat was pulled.“圣地亚哥，”男孩跟着他从停着小船的海滩爬上堤岸时说。 结构分析：直接引语：“Santiago,”（对话内容）；主句：the boy said to him（主谓宾结构，主语the boy+谓语said to+宾语him）；时间状语从句：as they climbed the bank from the beach（引导词as表“当……时”，从句内是主谓宾结构：they climbed the bank）；定语从句：where the small boat was pulled（关系副词where修饰先行词the beach，从句是被动语态：the small boat was pulled）。 3. Some older fishermen looked at him, feeling sad. But they didn’t show it.一些年长的渔夫看着他，面露悲伤，却没有表现出来。 结构分析：第一句：Some older fishermen looked at him, feeling sad（主谓宾结构，主语Some older fishermen+谓语looked at+宾语him；feeling sad是现在分词短语作伴随状语）。第二句：But they didn’t show it（主谓宾结构，主语they+否定谓语didn’t show+宾语it，it指代前文的“sad”）。 4. They cut up their marlins, laid the fish across two long boards, and two men carried each board to the fish house.他们把马林鱼切开，摊在两块长木板上，两人抬着一块木板送往鱼屋。 结构分析：并列句（三个动作顺承）：① They cut up their marlins（主谓宾）；② (they) laid the fish across two long boards（省略主语they，主谓宾+地点状语）；③ two men carried each board to the fish house（主谓宾+地点状语）；三个分句用and连接，构成连贯的动作链。 【答案】1—4 DBCB 【解析】本文主要讲述了《老人与海》的节选内容，包括老人与男孩Manolin的对话，以及渔民们捕鱼后的情况等。 1．细节理解题。根据“Everything about Santiago was old, except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.”可知，除了眼睛，圣地亚哥的一切都很老，他的眼睛和大海一样的颜色，并且充满愉悦和不服输，由此可知描述他的眼睛主要展示了他保持积极的精神，从不放弃。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“It was papa who made me leave. I’m just a boy—I must listen to him.”可知，是男孩的父亲让他离开的。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Many young fishermen laughed at the old man, but he wasn’t angry. Some older fishermen looked at him, feeling sad. But they didn’t show it.”可知，许多年轻的渔民嘲笑老人，但他不生气。一些年长的渔民看着他，感到难过。但他们没有表现出来。因此it指代的是他们对圣地亚哥的难过。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“They sat at the Terrace. Many young fishermen laughed at the old man, but he wasn’t angry.”以及“The fishermen who caught fish that day were already back. They cut up their marlins...”可知，许多年轻的渔民嘲笑老人，而那天捕到鱼的渔民已经回来了，他们正在处理他们的马林鱼，由此可知提到“成功的渔民”和他们的马林鱼是为了突出圣地亚哥自己的坏运气。故选B。 译文： 圣地亚哥身上的一切都显得苍老，唯有他的眼睛除外——那双眼眸和大海同色，透着愉悦与不屈的神采。 “圣地亚哥，”男孩跟着他从停着小船的海滩爬上堤岸时说，“我可以再跟你一起捕鱼了，我们赚到了些钱。” 老人曾教马诺林捕鱼，男孩很爱他。 “不行，”圣地亚哥说，“你现在的船运气好，留在那儿吧。” “可你还记得吗？你曾八十七天没捕到鱼，后来我们连续三周每天都捕到大鱼。” “我记得，”老人说，“我知道你不是因为怀疑我才离开的。” “是爸爸让我走的，我只是个孩子——必须听他的话。” “我明白，”圣地亚哥说，“这很正常。” “他没什么信心。” “确实，”老人说，“但我们有信心，不是吗？” “对，”男孩说，“我请你去露台酒馆喝杯啤酒吧？然后我们把你的东西送回家。” “有何不可？”圣地亚哥笑了，“毕竟我们都是渔夫。” 他们坐在露台酒馆里。许多年轻渔夫嘲笑老人，但他并不生气。一些年长的渔夫看着他，面露悲伤，却没有表现出来。他们礼貌地聊着洋流、鱼线放多深、好天气，还有当天的见闻。 当天捕到鱼的渔夫已经回来了。他们把马林鱼切开，摊在两块长木板上，两人抬着一块木板送往鱼屋，在那里等冷藏车把鱼运到哈瓦那的市场。捕到鲨鱼的人则把鲨鱼送去鲨鱼加工厂：用绳子吊起鲨鱼，取出肝脏，割下鱼鳍，剥掉外皮，再把鱼肉切成条腌起来保存。 话题写作佳句积累 1.

He encountered an academic problem during the summer vacation but it took him a lot of determination to finally approach his professor at school to solve the problem. To his surprise, the meeting turned out to be quite pleasant. But only a few students turn to their professors to ask for advice in solving problems or discuss academic topics with them. According to a poll of 2,636 college students conducted by MyCOS, a Beijing-based consultancy, more than a third of them contact their professors less than once a year. Although most students and teachers are willing to communicate with each other, it seems that an effective communication mechanism is absent. Shi says most of his professors share their contact details with students in the first class, but students tend not to take advantage of this. “Communication usually takes place in class or between classes, because it’s difficult to get in touch with professors at any other time,” he says. “University professors always look very busy.” Pressure However, from the faculty’s perspective, students are too cautious about communicating with professors. “They’re worried about asking questions they think may leave a bad impression,” says Du Xiguang, professor of chemistry at Northeast Normal University. Wu created a QQ group in which students can discuss various issues with him, ranging from academic topics to personal problems. “I find they are very talkative in this group because all of them are anonymous. But if they talk to me in person, they’re shy and nervous,” he says. His view is echoed by Wu Qian, 22, an English major at Tsinghua University. Wu admits that when she encounters problems she prefers talking to her classmates and upper classmen. “I think many students are too shy and passive, myself included. I feel more comfortable communicating with my peers,” she says. Different styles of teaching Cheng Haonan, 20, a space science and technology major at Nanjing University, offers another reason why students don’t form strong relationships with professors. “We only meet our professor once or twice a week. That’s a lot less than the frequency with which we met our teachers in high school. Some professors can’t even remember my name,” says Cheng. Du also attributes the shyness of many students to a change in teaching styles. In primary school, Chinese students get used to talking with their teachers because they’re like “nannies” who not only teach, but also watch out for their students’ personal development. “In college, such communication isn’t compulsory anymore and students aren’t pushed to discuss their ideas with professors,” says Du. “The real problem is that students aren’t yet ready to engage in adult conversation with professors. Some of them just expect professors to explain facts and help them prepare for exams, like in high school.” Chen Yongmei, an associate professor at Beijing Forestry University, tackles this problem by taking the initiative. Since she only teaches one class a week, Chen invites one or two students for lunch every day. During lunch, they discuss academic and personal problems. “Most students make use of this mechanism, but a few of them don’t,” she says. “In the latter case, I gradually lose the passion for communicating with them because this isn’t middle school. I’m happy to talk to them, but I don’t want to force them into a conversation they’re uncomfortable with.” 1．What’s Shi Jianfei’s major? 2．How many college students contact their professors less than once a year? 3．Why do students and professors communicate infrequently? 4．What will Wu Qian do when she meets problems? 5．How does Chen Yongmei communicate with students? 【答案】1.His major is mechanical manufacturing and automation. 2.More than a third of college students. 3.Because there is no effective communication mechanism. 4.She will talk to her classmates or upper classmen. / She will talk to her peers. 5．She invites one or two students for lunch every day.

During lunch, they discuss academic and personal problems.”可知，陈咏梅教授每天会邀请一两个同学共进午餐，在吃饭时和他们讨论学业和个人问题。故填She invites one or two students for lunch every day. During lunch, they discuss academic and personal problems. Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·陕西咸阳·期中）Paisley used to be a shy girl who feared speaking in public.

Keep going, and you’ll surprise yourself with… !’”可知，正如她曾经在日记中写的，once表示“曾经”，所以用一般过去时，动词 write的过去式是wrote。故选A。 15．句意：继续前进，你会惊讶于自己可以多么优秀！what excellent you can be结构错误；what excellent can you be结构错误；how excellent you can be你能有多优秀；how excellent can you be结构错误。根据“Keep going, and you’ll surprise yourself with… !’”可知，with后面需要一个名词性成分。“how excellent you can be” 是一个感叹句的变体，但作为介词宾语，应该是陈述语序，且how后接形容词，表强调，所以，选项C“how excellent you can be”符合题意。故选C。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·重庆渝中·期中） If you can’t fully understand what the teacher says in class, what would you do? Some students just let it go. So the next time they meet similar questions, they still make mistakes. But Katie doesn’t. After class, she asks the teacher to explain again. Sometimes she reviews her notes, reads related books in the library, or even watches videos online until she really understands. And yes, she does really well in study. You might think she is hard-working, but actually, she is just curious (好奇的) enough. Curious people want to learn more about the world and keep asking why. Many great discoveries in history were made by curious people. Even if you don’t plan to become an inventor or a researcher, curiosity can still help you in the classroom. When you are curious, you develop a real love for knowledge and will be fully involved in the learning process. In this way, being curious can help you make much progress in study. Some students are not sure if curiosity is useful. In their eyes, being curious about some questions takes up too much time, stopping them from learning other things. But research shows they may be wrong. Researchers from a top university gave students a memory test on geographical facts. When students were curious about one topic, they could remember the facts faster and better. According to a follow-up study, with a sense of achievement, these students would like to try harder to learn other things. It’s OK if you are not naturally very curious. Curiosity can be developed through practice. Experts suggest asking more questions in class or daily life, because every question helps you understand things better. Also, try to get different information by reading different kinds of books, watching videos or lectures (讲座), and talking with people who know more than you. Stay open-minded and never stop wondering—that’s how you keep your curiosity alive. 阅读文章，用恰当的短语或句子补全概要。补全部分总词数不超过30词，不能照抄原文连续超过3个词。（16和19小题，每小题2分；17和18小题，每小题3分；共10分） It's not a good idea to leave problems behind when learning.

Also, research shows that 18 . To develop more curiosity, 19 are given by experts, like keeping asking questions and staying open-minded. 【答案】16.they are curious enough.17.they make great progress.18.curious students can learn other things more actively.19.some useful/good/practical tips. 【解析】16.they are curious enough.解析：原文提到Katie因“好奇”主动解决学习问题，结合“students can deal with them if...”的逻辑，此处填“they are curious enough”（他们足够好奇），对应原文中好奇驱动解决问题的核心。 17.they make great progress.解析：原文明确“being curious can help you make much progress in study”，结合“so that（以便）”的结果逻辑，此处填“they make great progress”（他们取得大的进步），概括好奇对学习进步的作用。 18.curious students can learn other things more actively.解析：原文通过研究指出“好奇的学生能更快更好地记忆知识、更愿意学其他内容”，此处提炼为“curious students can learn other things more actively”（好奇的学生可以更加积极地学东西），对应研究结论。 19.some useful/good/practical tips.解析：原文最后一段提到“experts suggest...”的具体方法，结合“...are given by experts”的结构，此处填“some useful/good/practical tips”（一些有用的建议），概括专家给出的培养好奇心的方法。 Passage 4       【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报·试题原创】 Don’t be a robot in interviews Last week, I was speaking with a friend of mine who does alumni interviews for Yale University. One of my students was in the process of applying to Yale, and I wanted to get the “dos” and “don’ts” right from the horse’s mouth. She told me much of what I had heard in the past—students should be enthusiastic, poised, knowledgeable about the university, and able to ask questions as well as answer them. However, she added one element that I had not considered before. “Sometimes applicants can be too polished. It really freaks me out,” she told me. She went on to describe Chinese students who had memorized detailed answers to hundreds of questions. “Their answers were not bad. However, it didn’t feel like I was talking to a human being. It was more like talking to a robot.” She also mentioned the awkward moments that can arise when an applicant has done a lot of research on their interviewer. Of course, it is good to take the time to find out what you can about the person you will be talking to. In this information age, you can easily find out where your interviewer is from, what they majored in, and even some of their interests. However, just because you know those things, it doesn’t mean you should bring them up directly in the interview. “If a student has found out that I liked camping and hiking from my blog, then they might be able to mention their own interest in those things and ask me about opportunities for outdoor adventures at Yale. That is totally acceptable. What is weird is when students come into the interview and say, ‘I know that you love camping’. It makes me feel like the police are interrogating me, not that I am interviewing an applicant.” So what is the answer? I am not suggesting that students not prepare at all. However, there are limits to everything. You should be knowledgeable, but don’t let your knowledge overshadow your personality. In the best interviews, your real self shines through. 20．The author’s friend does alumni interviews for_______. A．Yale University B．Oxford C．Cambridge D．Stanford University 21．As far as the author’s concerned, students should________ in the interviews. A．be enthusiastic B．be poised C．be knowledgeable about the university D．All of the above. 22．What is the interviewer’s opinion on too-polished applicants? A．They like this type of applicants very much. B．They may don’t like this type of applicants. C．They are scared of those applicants. D．They won’t let those applicants pass the interviews. 23．According to the author’s friend, if we know the information of interviewers, ________. A．we shouldn’t bring them up directly in the interview B．we should bring them up directly in the interview C．we should be polished like a robot D．we shouldn’t talk about any interviewers 24．The author suggests that students________. A．don’t need to prepare for the interviews B．should prepare everything before interviews C．shouldn’t let their knowledge overshadow their personalities D．just need to showcase their personalities 【答案】20—24 ADBBC 【解析】本篇是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者和一位负责面试的朋友的交谈，并提出了面试时注意应该做的和不该做的事。 20．细节理解题。根据“Last week, I was speaking with a friend of mine who does alumni interviews for Yale University.”可知，作者的朋友负责耶鲁大学的面试。故选A。 21．细节理解题。根据“She told me much of what I had heard in the past—students should be enthusiastic, poised, knowledgeable about the university, and able to ask questions as well as answer them.”可知，据作者所知，面试时学生应该热情、沉着、对学校了如指掌。故选D。 22．推理判断题。根据第二、三段的描述可推断，面试官不会很喜欢过于优雅的面试者，他们感觉对方像机器人一样回答问题。故选B。 23．细节理解题。根据“However, just because you know those things, it doesn’t mean you should bring them up directly in the interview.”可知，即使我们知道关于面试者的信息，我们也不能在面试时直接谈论这些事。故选B。 24．细节理解题。根据最后一段的描述可知，作者建议学生要做适当的准备，但一定不能让准备的知识盖过自己的个性。故选C。 Passage 5 （25-26八年级上·福建厦门·期中） Top emoji by country Japan Russia Argentina Vietnam America Spain Mexico Indonesia England Italy Iraq Thailand France Türkiye Egypt India Whether it’s a happy face, a little heart or a thumbs-up, emojis (表情符号) are an important part of how people all over the world communicate in messages online. In fact, 10 billion of them are sent every day! The first emojis were created in 1999 by a Japanese designer named Shigetaka Kurita. His first set had 176 simple symbols, but these days we have more than 3,500 different emojis to choose from! Even though there are so many emojis, some are used much more often than others. To find out which emojis are the most popular, technology company Baidu Japan looked at emoji use in 16 countries, including Japan, the US, the UK and France during the first half of 2025. Baidu Japan found that the crying face was the most-used emoji overall. People use it to show many strong feelings—not just sadness, but also pride, happiness and even laughter. And according to Baidu Japan’s data (数据), the crying face was the most popular emoji in 12 out of the 16 countries it looked at. In fact, the top emojis tend to be quite similar in most countries, with crying faces and laughing faces appearing again and again. In many countries, people use hearts to show love for family or friends. However, cultural differences affect emoji use. In Japan, hearts are mostly used for romantic love, so people choose other emojis to show how they feel. So while we might all use emojis, the way we use them can be quite different! 25．According to Baidu Japan’s research in the first half of 2025, which emoji was the most-used overall? A． B． C． D． 26．How many symbols were there in the first set of emojis?? A．12. B．176. C．3500.

B．People in different countries use emojis in the same way. C．Cultural differences don’t have an effect on emoji use. D．There are similarities in the top emojis used in most countries. 【答案】25—29 CBBBD 【解析】本文主要介绍了表情符号的全球使用情况，包括其起源、最受欢迎的表情符号以及文化差异对表情符号使用的影响等信息。 25．细节理解题。根据“Baidu Japan found that the crying face was the most-used emoji overall.”可知，哭泣脸是总体使用最多的表情符号。故选C。 26．细节理解题。根据“His first set had 176 simple symbols” 可知，第一套表情符号有176个符号。故选B。 27．细节理解题。根据“People use it to show many strong feelings—not just sadness, but also pride, happiness and even laughter.”可知，人们用哭泣脸表达悲伤、骄傲、快乐等情绪，对应②⑤⑥。故选B。 28．细节理解题。根据“In Japan, hearts are mostly used for romantic love, so people choose other emojis to show how they feel.”可知，日本人不用红心表达某些情绪是因为红心多用于浪漫爱情 (即对特定人的爱)。故选B。 29．细节理解题。根据“In fact, the top emojis tend to be quite similar in most countries”可知，大多数国家使用的热门表情符号存在相似性。故选D。 Passage 6 （2025·安徽宣城·二模） She was a four-year-old girl with very fine golden hair. When I first met her, she was handing me a bowl of soup. I was suffering from the flu. Her mom and I had been friends for many years. Finally, that friendship grew into care, from care into love and marriage. Marriage brought the three of us together as a family. At first, I was afraid to be a stepfather. However, as she was growing up, I found it increasingly hard to communicate with her. Once, her school required every parent to write an open and honest letter to the children. I wrote a letter about the little golden-haired girl who had brought me a bowl of soup when I needed care. A week later, the students were allowed to make a few speeches to the parents. I was anxious to hear what my daughter would say. Finally, my daughter made her way up to the microphone. “At this very moment, I just want to say... I love you, Father!” Immediately, people around me started smiling at me. For a teenage girl to say openly in the front of a room full of people, “I love you”, took a great deal of courage. Since then, I have come to understand that I didn’t need to have any fear about being a stepfather. 30．When did the girl bring the soup to the writer? A．When he was four. B．When he was ill. C．After she grew up. D．After she got the letter. 31．What was the relationship between the girl and the writer? A．Pen friends. B．Wife and husband. C．Girlfriend and boyfriend.

Perhaps as a famous poet who loved his country. But do you know that Lu is also a “slasher (斜杠青年)” of his time? If he had a social media profile (简介), it might read like this: poet/politician (政治家)/food expert/cat person. On Nov 13, people celebrated the 900th birthday of Lu. Born in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), Lu was one of the most prolific (高产的) poets in Chinese history. About 9,300 of his poems are still around today. Many of his poems are filled with a desire (渴望) to protect his homeland, making him a famous patriotic (爱国的) poet. As a politician, Lu tried his best to offer advice to the government. At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty was invaded (入侵) by the northern Jin Dynasty (1115-1234). Lu spoke out against the Song government’s weak response and called for fighting back. However, he was demoted (被降职) because of his strong opinions. Despite being unhappy with government work, Lu found joy in other passions (爱好). For example, he loved flowers and food a lot. While serving in the Shu region, he wrote a book that listed 65 peony (牡丹) types. He also wrote over 100 poems about cooking and growing vegetables. Many believe that his secret to long life – he lived to 85 – was his healthy eating habits. He even wrote a poem about the benefits of congee (粥). Lu also found comfort in his cat friends. He wrote funny poems to his cats, showing how cute they are and how they gave him warmth on cold days. The poems show that he was a true “cat person”. As a mix of a great national dreamer and someone who loved life’s small joys, Lu showed us that a full life can be built with many “slashes”! 1. What is a slasher? A. People who work as poets. B. People who love their country. C. People who have many roles in life. D. People who enjoy keeping cats. 2. How did Lu You feel about being a government official? A. Proud. B. Happy. C. Confident. D. Disappointed. 3. What is believed to be the key to Lu You’s long life? A. His pet cats. B. His healthy diet. C. His love for writing. D. His love for flowers. 4. What is an advantage of being a slasher, according to the passage? A. Enjoying a longer life. B. Bringing joy to others. C. Leaving a mark on history. D. Living a more meaningful life. 长难句分析 1. If you were asked to introduce Lu You, how would you describe him? Perhaps as a famous poet who loved his country.如果让你介绍陆游，你会怎么描述他？或许是一位热爱祖国的著名诗人。 结构分析：前半句是含被动语态的条件状语从句：“If you were asked to introduce Lu You”（条件状语从句，“were asked”是一般过去时的被动语态）+ 主句“how would you describe him?”（特殊疑问句作主句）；后半句是省略结构+定语从句：“Perhaps as a famous poet”（省略了主句“you would describe him”），其中“who loved his country”是定语从句，修饰“poet”。 2. If he had a social media profile, it might read like this: poet/politician/food expert/cat person.要是他有社交媒体简介，内容大概会是这样：诗人/政治家/美食专家/猫奴。 结构分析：这是虚拟语气复合句（描述与现实不符的假设）：“If he had a social media profile”是虚拟条件句（对现在的假设，用一般过去时“had”）；“it might read like this”是主句（“might”体现虚拟语气）；冒号后是列举成分，补充说明“profile”的具体内容。 3. Many of his poems are filled with a desire to protect his homeland, making him a famous patriotic poet.他的许多诗作都饱含保家卫国的渴望，这让他成为了著名的爱国诗人。 结构分析：主句是“be filled with”结构：“Many of his poems are filled with a desire”（“to protect his homeland”是不定式作后置定语，修饰“desire”）；后半句是现在分词作结果状语：“making him a famous patriotic poet”（“making”表前文内容带来的自然结果）。 4. As a mix of a great national dreamer and someone who loved life’s small joys, Lu showed us that a full life can be built with many “slashes”!心怀家国的理想者，又懂品味生活小确幸的人，陆游向我们证明：用诸多“斜杠”能构建出充实的人生！ 结构分析：开头是介词短语作状语：“As a mix of... and someone”（“as”表“作为”），其中“who loved life’s small joys”是定语从句，修饰“someone”。主句是“show sb. that”结构：“Lu showed us”后接“that”引导的宾语从句（“a full life can be built...”是被动语态的宾语从句）。 译文： 如果让你介绍陆游，你会怎么描述他？或许是“热爱祖国的著名诗人”。但你知道吗？陆游也是他那个时代的“斜杠青年”。要是他有社交媒体简介，大概会写：诗人/政治家/美食专家/猫奴。 11月13日，人们庆祝了陆游的900周年诞辰。陆游生于南宋（1127-1279年），是中国历史上最高产的诗人之一——如今仍有约9300首诗作传世。他的许多作品都饱含保家卫国的渴望，这让他成为著名的爱国诗人。 作为政治家，陆游竭力为朝廷建言献策。当时南宋正遭金国（1115-1234年）入侵，他公开反对朝廷的软弱应对，呼吁奋起反抗。然而，他因强硬的主张被降职。 尽管对官场工作不满，陆游却在其他爱好中找到了乐趣。比如，他痴迷花草与美食：在蜀地任职时，他写了一本书，记录了65种牡丹；还创作了100多首关于烹饪、种菜的诗。许多人认为，他活到85岁的长寿秘诀，正是健康的饮食习惯——他甚至写过一首诗，专门讲粥的益处。 陆游还从猫咪那里获得了慰藉：他给猫写过诙谐的诗，描述它们的可爱，以及寒冬里猫咪带来的温暖。这些诗足以证明，他是个货真价实的“猫奴”。 既是心怀家国的理想者，又懂品味生活的小确幸——陆游向我们证明：用诸多“斜杠”，能构建出充实的人生！ Passage B 《老人与海》 Everything about Santiago was old, except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated. “Santiago,” the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from the beach where the small boat was pulled. “I can go fishing with you again. We’ve earned some money.” The old man had taught Manolin to fish, and the boy loved him. “No,” said Santiago. “You’re on a lucky boat. Stay with them.” “But remember how you went eighty-seven days without fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks.” “I remember,” the old man said. “I know you did not leave me because you doubted.” “It was papa who made me leave. I’m just a boy—I must listen to him.” “I know,” Santiago said. “That’s quite normal.” “He doesn’t have much faith.” “No,” said the old man. “But we have, haven’t we? ” “Yes,” the boy said. “Can I offer you a beer at the Terrace? Then we’ll take your things home.” “Why not? ” Santiago smiled. “We’re both fishermen, after all.” They sat at the Terrace. Many young fishermen laughed at the old man, but he wasn’t angry. Some older fishermen looked at him, feeling sad. But they didn’t show it. They talked politely about the ocean currents (海流), how deep they put their fishing lines, the nice weather, and what they’d seen that day. The fishermen who caught fish that day were already back. They cut up their marlins, laid the fish across two long boards, and two men carried each board to the fish house. There, they waited for the ice truck to take the fish to the market in Havana. Those who caught sharks took them to the shark factory. They lifted the sharks up with ropes, took out their livers, cut off their fins, peeled off their skins, and sliced their meat into strips to salt and save. --The Old Man and the Sea (Excerpt) 1．What does the description of Santiago’s eyes mainly show about his character? A．He felt hopeless about his fishing career. B．He missed the days when he caught big fish. C．He was too old to continue fishing. D．He kept a positive spirit and never gave up. 2．Why did the boy, Manolin, leave Santiago’s boat? A．Because he doubted Santiago’s fishing skills. B．Because his father asked him to. C．Because Santiago’s boat was unlucky. D．Because he wanted to catch sharks. 3．The underlined word “it” in the sentence “But they didn’t show it” refers to ________. A．their politeness B．their knowledge of the ocean C．their sadness for Santiago D．their anger at the young fishermen 4．What can we understand from the mention of the “successful fishermen” and their marlins? A．It shows how easy it was to catch marlins in the area. B．It makes Santiago’s own bad luck especially clear. C．It explains the process of selling fish in Havana. D．It proves that Manolin made the right choice to leave. 长难句分析 1. Everything about Santiago was old, except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.圣地亚哥身上的一切都显得苍老，唯有他的眼睛除外——那双眼眸和大海同色，透着愉悦与不屈的神采。 结构分析：主句：Everything about Santiago was old（主系表结构，主语Everything+后置定语about Santiago+系动词was+表语old）；状语/补充说明：except his eyes（介词短语表“例外”）；并列分句：and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated（主语they指代“his eyes”，包含两个并列的系表结构：were the same color as the sea、were cheerful and undefeated，用and连接）。 2. “Santiago,” the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from the beach where the small boat was pulled.“圣地亚哥，”男孩跟着他从停着小船的海滩爬上堤岸时说。 结构分析：直接引语：“Santiago,”（对话内容）；主句：the boy said to him（主谓宾结构，主语the boy+谓语said to+宾语him）；时间状语从句：as they climbed the bank from the beach（引导词as表“当……时”，从句内是主谓宾结构：they climbed the bank）；定语从句：where the small boat was pulled（关系副词where修饰先行词the beach，从句是被动语态：the small boat was pulled）。 3. Some older fishermen looked at him, feeling sad. But they didn’t show it.一些年长的渔夫看着他，面露悲伤，却没有表现出来。 结构分析：第一句：Some older fishermen looked at him, feeling sad（主谓宾结构，主语Some older fishermen+谓语looked at+宾语him；feeling sad是现在分词短语作伴随状语）。第二句：But they didn’t show it（主谓宾结构，主语they+否定谓语didn’t show+宾语it，it指代前文的“sad”）。 4. They cut up their marlins, laid the fish across two long boards, and two men carried each board to the fish house.他们把马林鱼切开，摊在两块长木板上，两人抬着一块木板送往鱼屋。 结构分析：并列句（三个动作顺承）：① They cut up their marlins（主谓宾）；② (they) laid the fish across two long boards（省略主语they，主谓宾+地点状语）；③ two men carried each board to the fish house（主谓宾+地点状语）；三个分句用and连接，构成连贯的动作链。 译文： 圣地亚哥身上的一切都显得苍老，唯有他的眼睛除外——那双眼眸和大海同色，透着愉悦与不屈的神采。 “圣地亚哥，”男孩跟着他从停着小船的海滩爬上堤岸时说，“我可以再跟你一起捕鱼了，我们赚到了些钱。” 老人曾教马诺林捕鱼，男孩很爱他。 “不行，”圣地亚哥说，“你现在的船运气好，留在那儿吧。” “可你还记得吗？你曾八十七天没捕到鱼，后来我们连续三周每天都捕到大鱼。” “我记得，”老人说，“我知道你不是因为怀疑我才离开的。” “是爸爸让我走的，我只是个孩子——必须听他的话。” “我明白，”圣地亚哥说，“这很正常。” “他没什么信心。” “确实，”老人说，“但我们有信心，不是吗？” “对，”男孩说，“我请你去露台酒馆喝杯啤酒吧？然后我们把你的东西送回家。” “有何不可？”圣地亚哥笑了，“毕竟我们都是渔夫。” 他们坐在露台酒馆里。许多年轻渔夫嘲笑老人，但他并不生气。一些年长的渔夫看着他，面露悲伤，却没有表现出来。他们礼貌地聊着洋流、鱼线放多深、好天气，还有当天的见闻。 当天捕到鱼的渔夫已经回来了。他们把马林鱼切开，摊在两块长木板上，两人抬着一块木板送往鱼屋，在那里等冷藏车把鱼运到哈瓦那的市场。捕到鲨鱼的人则把鲨鱼送去鲨鱼加工厂：用绳子吊起鲨鱼，取出肝脏，割下鱼鳍，剥掉外皮，再把鱼肉切成条腌起来保存。 话题写作佳句积累 1.

He encountered an academic problem during the summer vacation but it took him a lot of determination to finally approach his professor at school to solve the problem. To his surprise, the meeting turned out to be quite pleasant. But only a few students turn to their professors to ask for advice in solving problems or discuss academic topics with them. According to a poll of 2,636 college students conducted by MyCOS, a Beijing-based consultancy, more than a third of them contact their professors less than once a year. Although most students and teachers are willing to communicate with each other, it seems that an effective communication mechanism is absent. Shi says most of his professors share their contact details with students in the first class, but students tend not to take advantage of this. “Communication usually takes place in class or between classes, because it’s difficult to get in touch with professors at any other time,” he says. “University professors always look very busy.” Pressure However, from the faculty’s perspective, students are too cautious about communicating with professors. “They’re worried about asking questions they think may leave a bad impression,” says Du Xiguang, professor of chemistry at Northeast Normal University. Wu created a QQ group in which students can discuss various issues with him, ranging from academic topics to personal problems. “I find they are very talkative in this group because all of them are anonymous. But if they talk to me in person, they’re shy and nervous,” he says. His view is echoed by Wu Qian, 22, an English major at Tsinghua University. Wu admits that when she encounters problems she prefers talking to her classmates and upper classmen. “I think many students are too shy and passive, myself included. I feel more comfortable communicating with my peers,” she says. Different styles of teaching Cheng Haonan, 20, a space science and technology major at Nanjing University, offers another reason why students don’t form strong relationships with professors. “We only meet our professor once or twice a week. That’s a lot less than the frequency with which we met our teachers in high school. Some professors can’t even remember my name,” says Cheng. Du also attributes the shyness of many students to a change in teaching styles. In primary school, Chinese students get used to talking with their teachers because they’re like “nannies” who not only teach, but also watch out for their students’ personal development. “In college, such communication isn’t compulsory anymore and students aren’t pushed to discuss their ideas with professors,” says Du. “The real problem is that students aren’t yet ready to engage in adult conversation with professors. Some of them just expect professors to explain facts and help them prepare for exams, like in high school.” Chen Yongmei, an associate professor at Beijing Forestry University, tackles this problem by taking the initiative. Since she only teaches one class a week, Chen invites one or two students for lunch every day. During lunch, they discuss academic and personal problems. “Most students make use of this mechanism, but a few of them don’t,” she says. “In the latter case, I gradually lose the passion for communicating with them because this isn’t middle school. I’m happy to talk to them, but I don’t want to force them into a conversation they’re uncomfortable with.” 1．What’s Shi Jianfei’s major? 2．How many college students contact their professors less than once a year? 3．Why do students and professors communicate infrequently? 4．What will Wu Qian do when she meets problems? 5．How does Chen Yongmei communicate with students? Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·陕西咸阳·期中）Paisley used to be a shy girl who feared speaking in public. Last term, her English teacher asked everyone to give 6 speech about “My Dream”. At first, Paisley wanted to run away from it because she worried that she would forget her 7 and be laughed at by others. But her teacher encouraged her, “Challenges 8 walls but ladders (梯子) to growth.” Before the speech, Paisley prepared carefully. She read books 9 her knowledge of public speaking and practiced her lines actively. She also tried adding some humorous expressions to her speech. On the day of the speech, Paisley felt nervous. But she took a deep breath and told 10 , “I have practiced hard and I can do this!” She stood up and shared her dream of becoming a writer in front of all her classmates. To her 11 , she didn’t mess up at all. When she finished, the class cheered loudly. Later, her teacher said, “Your courage not only influenced your own growth, 12 inspired your classmates. You showed everyone that bravery isn’t the absence of fear, but moving forward even when you feel it.” Paisley learned an important lesson: being afraid is normal, but facing fears 13 helps you find your best self. Now, she takes every chance to learn and grow, and she feels a strong sense of pride in her progress. As she once 14 in her diary: “Every small step forward is a victory. Keep going, and you’ll surprise yourself with 15 !” 6．A．a B．an C．the D．/ 7．A．word B．word’s C．words D．words’ 8．A．are B．aren’t C．were D．weren’t 9．A．suggest B．to suggest C．increase D．to increase 10．A．she B．her C．hers D．herself 11．A．surprise B．surprising C．surprised D．surprisingly 12．A．so that B．but also C．even if D．as soon as 13．A．brave B．bravely C．secret D．secretly 14．A．wrote B．writes C．will write D．has written 15．A．what excellent you can be B．what excellent can you be C．how excellent you can be D．how excellent can you be Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·重庆渝中·期中） If you can’t fully understand what the teacher says in class, what would you do? Some students just let it go. So the next time they meet similar questions, they still make mistakes. But Katie doesn’t. After class, she asks the teacher to explain again. Sometimes she reviews her notes, reads related books in the library, or even watches videos online until she really understands. And yes, she does really well in study. You might think she is hard-working, but actually, she is just curious (好奇的) enough. Curious people want to learn more about the world and keep asking why. Many great discoveries in history were made by curious people. Even if you don’t plan to become an inventor or a researcher, curiosity can still help you in the classroom. When you are curious, you develop a real love for knowledge and will be fully involved in the learning process. In this way, being curious can help you make much progress in study. Some students are not sure if curiosity is useful. In their eyes, being curious about some questions takes up too much time, stopping them from learning other things. But research shows they may be wrong. Researchers from a top university gave students a memory test on geographical facts. When students were curious about one topic, they could remember the facts faster and better. According to a follow-up study, with a sense of achievement, these students would like to try harder to learn other things. It’s OK if you are not naturally very curious. Curiosity can be developed through practice. Experts suggest asking more questions in class or daily life, because every question helps you understand things better. Also, try to get different information by reading different kinds of books, watching videos or lectures (讲座), and talking with people who know more than you. Stay open-minded and never stop wondering—that’s how you keep your curiosity alive. 阅读文章，用恰当的短语或句子补全概要。补全部分总词数不超过30词，不能照抄原文连续超过3个词。（16和19小题，每小题2分；17和18小题，每小题3分；共10分） It's not a good idea to leave problems behind when learning. In fact, students can deal with them if 16 . Curious people want to learn more and keep asking questions. With curiosity, students would focus more on the process of learning so that 17 . Also, research shows that 18 . To develop more curiosity, 19 are given by experts, like keeping asking questions and staying open-minded. Passage 4       【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报·试题原创】 Don’t be a robot in interviews Last week, I was speaking with a friend of mine who does alumni interviews for Yale University. One of my students was in the process of applying to Yale, and I wanted to get the “dos” and “don’ts” right from the horse’s mouth. She told me much of what I had heard in the past—students should be enthusiastic, poised, knowledgeable about the university, and able to ask questions as well as answer them. However, she added one element that I had not considered before. “Sometimes applicants can be too polished. It really freaks me out,” she told me. She went on to describe Chinese students who had memorized detailed answers to hundreds of questions. “Their answers were not bad. However, it didn’t feel like I was talking to a human being. It was more like talking to a robot.” She also mentioned the awkward moments that can arise when an applicant has done a lot of research on their interviewer. Of course, it is good to take the time to find out what you can about the person you will be talking to. In this information age, you can easily find out where your interviewer is from, what they majored in, and even some of their interests. However, just because you know those things, it doesn’t mean you should bring them up directly in the interview. “If a student has found out that I liked camping and hiking from my blog, then they might be able to mention their own interest in those things and ask me about opportunities for outdoor adventures at Yale. That is totally acceptable. What is weird is when students come into the interview and say, ‘I know that you love camping’. It makes me feel like the police are interrogating me, not that I am interviewing an applicant.” So what is the answer? I am not suggesting that students not prepare at all. However, there are limits to everything. You should be knowledgeable, but don’t let your knowledge overshadow your personality. In the best interviews, your real self shines through. 20．The author’s friend does alumni interviews for_______. A．Yale University B．Oxford C．Cambridge D．Stanford University 21．As far as the author’s concerned, students should________ in the interviews. A．be enthusiastic B．be poised C．be knowledgeable about the university D．All of the above. 22．What is the interviewer’s opinion on too-polished applicants? A．They like this type of applicants very much. B．They may don’t like this type of applicants. C．They are scared of those applicants. D．They won’t let those applicants pass the interviews. 23．According to the author’s friend, if we know the information of interviewers, ________. A．we shouldn’t bring them up directly in the interview B．we should bring them up directly in the interview C．we should be polished like a robot D．we shouldn’t talk about any interviewers 24．The author suggests that students________. A．don’t need to prepare for the interviews B．should prepare everything before interviews C．shouldn’t let their knowledge overshadow their personalities D．just need to showcase their personalities Passage 5 （25-26八年级上·福建厦门·期中） Top emoji by country Japan Russia Argentina Vietnam America Spain Mexico Indonesia England Italy Iraq Thailand France Türkiye Egypt India Whether it’s a happy face, a little heart or a thumbs-up, emojis (表情符号) are an important part of how people all over the world communicate in messages online. In fact, 10 billion of them are sent every day! The first emojis were created in 1999 by a Japanese designer named Shigetaka Kurita. His first set had 176 simple symbols, but these days we have more than 3,500 different emojis to choose from! Even though there are so many emojis, some are used much more often than others. To find out which emojis are the most popular, technology company Baidu Japan looked at emoji use in 16 countries, including Japan, the US, the UK and France during the first half of 2025. Baidu Japan found that the crying face was the most-used emoji overall. People use it to show many strong feelings—not just sadness, but also pride, happiness and even laughter. And according to Baidu Japan’s data (数据), the crying face was the most popular emoji in 12 out of the 16 countries it looked at. In fact, the top emojis tend to be quite similar in most countries, with crying faces and laughing faces appearing again and again. In many countries, people use hearts to show love for family or friends. However, cultural differences affect emoji use. In Japan, hearts are mostly used for romantic love, so people choose other emojis to show how they feel. So while we might all use emojis, the way we use them can be quite different! 25．According to Baidu Japan’s research in the first half of 2025, which emoji was the most-used overall? A． B． C． D． 26．How many symbols were there in the first set of emojis?? A．12. B．176. C．3500.

Passage 6 （2025·安徽宣城·二模） She was a four-year-old girl with very fine golden hair. When I first met her, she was handing me a bowl of soup. I was suffering from the flu. Her mom and I had been friends for many years. Finally, that friendship grew into care, from care into love and marriage. Marriage brought the three of us together as a family. At first, I was afraid to be a stepfather. However, as she was growing up, I found it increasingly hard to communicate with her. Once, her school required every parent to write an open and honest letter to the children. I wrote a letter about the little golden-haired girl who had brought me a bowl of soup when I needed care. A week later, the students were allowed to make a few speeches to the parents. I was anxious to hear what my daughter would say. Finally, my daughter made her way up to the microphone. “At this very moment, I just want to say... I love you, Father!” Immediately, people around me started smiling at me. For a teenage girl to say openly in the front of a room full of people, “I love you”, took a great deal of courage. Since then, I have come to understand that I didn’t need to have any fear about being a stepfather. 30．When did the girl bring the soup to the writer? A．When he was four. B．When he was ill. C．After she grew up. D．After she got the letter. 31．What was the relationship between the girl and the writer? A．Pen friends. B．Wife and husband. C．Girlfriend and boyfriend.
