A clock struck (敲响) twelve! Scrooge suddenly remembered that another Ghost would come at one o’clock. He decided to lie awake until that time. He waited and waited. At last, the clock struck one. At that moment, a light flashed in the room, and the curtains (床帘) around his bed flew open. Scrooge sat up and found himself face to face with a Ghost. The Ghost was very strange. It was the height of a child but looked like an old man. It held a large cap under its arm. “Are you the Ghost that Marley told me about?” asked Scrooge. “I am!” “Who are you?” Scrooge continued. “I am the Ghost of Christmas Past.” “Why have you come?” asked Scrooge. “For your welfare (幸福)!” said the Ghost. “Now stand up and walk with me!” When Scrooge saw the Ghost moving towards the window, he was scared. “I’m a mortal (凡人),” said Scrooge. “I’ll fall.” The Ghost laid its hand on Scrooge’s heart and said. “You won’t fall!” As the words were spoken, they passed through the wall and stood on a country road. There was no mist or darkness. It was a clear and cold winter day, with snow on the ground. “Good Heavens!” said Scrooge. “I grew up here. I was a boy here!” They walked along the road. Scrooge recognized (认出) every tree and every gate. Some boys were riding on ponies (小马). All these boys were happy and shouting to each other. Scrooge knew all the boys. He asked himself, “Why am I so happy to see them? Why am I happy when they say Merry Christmas to each other?” Then they came to a school. A boy was reading a book in one classroom. Scrooge sat down on a bench and wept (抽泣) when he saw himself. He said, “There was a boy singing a Christmas carol at my door last night. I wish I could have given him some money.” The Ghost smiled thoughtfully and said, “Let’s see another Christmas!” —Adapted from A Christmas Carol 1．Why didn’t Scrooge continue to sleep when he woke up at twelve?

Scott lived with his father, a judge (法官), his mother, and his sister. There were other animals as well, such as cats and chickens. White Fang had to learn that the other people in the house were friends and that he must not attack the chickens or cats. One day, he killed fifty of the birds. Scott was angry with White Fang. He did not beat him badly, but he pushed his head at the dead birds and hit White Fang at the same time. This way, White Fang knew he had done wrong. “The animal is a wolf,” Scott’s father said. “You’ll never teach him not to kill chickens.” “He won’t attack another chicken,” Scott said. “Will you make a bet with me?” The judge agreed, and the two men had a bet. “I’ll lock White Fang in the chicken house,” Scott said. “He can stay there all night. In the morning, not one chicken will be dead.” And this was what happened. White Fang behaved as if there were no chickens in the chicken house. He had learned his lesson. By this time, everyone in Scott’s family liked White Fang. They felt safe with him because he knew them, even though he was not a “house dog.” After Scott came back home from the Yukon, a dangerous man appeared. His name was Jim Hall, and he had killed many men. He wanted to kill the judge who had sent him to prison. This was Scott’s father. One night, Jim Hall got into the house and planned to shoot (射击) the judge while he slept. However, White Fang saw the strange man. He knew that this man was not a friend and leapt at him. A fight went on for a long time. Jim Hall shot White Fang several times, but White Fang would not let him go. The noise woke everyone up. The police came and took Jim Hall back to prison. White Fang’s wounds were very bad, and he was dying. Scott sent for a doctor who looked at White Fang and said, “He has only one chance in a thousand of living.” The doctor did everything he could for White Fang, but he lost a lot of blood. He had a broken leg, and there were bullet holes in his chest. But as the days passed, White Fang slowly got better. He lived, but he could not fight again. He lived the rest of his life quietly with Scott and his family, a much gentler and much loved wolf-dog. —Adapted from White Fang 5．How many people were there in Scott’s family? A．Seven. B．Six.

We sat at a table in the middle of the room and ate a delicious lunch. He told me that all the food came from the sea. “I love the sea,” he said. “It gives me everything that I need. Even my clothes come from the sea. It is a place of perfect peace. There are no governments, no taxes, and no wars. Here, I am truly free! I will never return to the land.” He took me to see the library which had thousands of books in many languages. Then he showed me the art gallery. It had many paintings by famous artists. The next room was a museum with all kinds of treasures from the sea. I had never seen such a good museum. Captain Nemo was very proud of his collection and very proud of the Nautilus (鹦鹉螺号). He told me that he had discovered a way to make electricity (电) using salt and mercury (水银). This electricity gave the Nautilus all the power it needed to move through the water. Huge pumps filled and emptied tanks of air and water to make the Nautilus sink or rise. After we got to the engine room, Captain Nemo showed me the engine and explained how it worked. The Nautilus was seventy meters long and eight meters wide. It had a cylindrical (圆柱形的) shape with points on each end and weighed 1,500 tons. “It’s a wonderful ship!” I exclaimed (惊叫). “I love it as if it were my child,” he replied. “How did you build it in secret?” I asked. “All the parts were made in different countries. I used different names each time I placed an order. I took all the parts to a desert island, and my workmen put them together. Then, we burned our workshops.” “It must have cost a fortune!(大笔的钱)” I exclaimed. “Millions of dollars,” he replied. “However, I have billions!” —Taken from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea 9．Which is the meaning of the word sink?

Mr Frank: Well, I live alone. My father passed away last week, and he left me a famous painting. I locked it in the safe in the living-room yesterday. When I got up this morning, however, the safe was open and the painting wasn’t there! Lestrade: I see a necklace near the open safe. Does anyone know about the painting? Mr Frank: I showed it to only two people—Zoe and Jimmy. They both work in my house. Oh, the necklace belongs to Zoe. I saw her wear it last week. Lestrade: I see. Outside the open window, there’s a lot of mud on the wet ground. Inside the room, the floor was completely clean. Can I see Zoe and Jimmy, please? Mr Frank: Sure. Come with me, sir. Scene 2   Garden behind Mr Frank’s house. The garden, full of roses. Mr Frank is sitting under a large tree. Lestrade is walking around slowly. The sound of quick footsteps is heard. Zoe: [Rushing to Lestrade.] Oh no, sir! It’s not me! I didn’t steal the painting. Believe me! Lestrade: Calm down, Madam. Tell me what you did last night. Zoe: I went to sleep after I did all the cleaning and washing in the house. Lestrade: Is this your necklace, Madam? [Showing the necklace.] I found it near the open safe. Zoe: Why, yes! It’s mine! I lost it three days ago. It was cheap, so I didn’t tell anyone. Sir, believe me! [Starting to cry.] Lestrade: Madam, I never jump to conclusions. I need proof. What about you, Jimmy? Jimmy: I was on guard the whole night. It was raining and I didn’t see anything unusual. Lestrade: OK. You two can leave now. [Turning to Mr Frank.] I know who the thief is. Mr Frank: [With eyes and mouth wide open] You do? Who is it? Lestrade: You, sir! Mr Frank: Me? You mean I stole my own painting? Are you joking? Lestrade: I’m serious, Mr Frank. The mud outside and the clean floor inside told me that probably no thief broke into your house. Before I came here, I had checked with the insurance company. They told me you had bought insurance for the painting. They would pay you 200,000 dollars if the painting was stolen. Mr Frank: What about the necklace, then? Lestrade: You stole it as well.

Passage 8 Late on a rainy Saturday evening, the City Museum reported a theft: a valuable 19th-century oil painting named Twilight by the Lake had disappeared from its exhibition hall. The painting was put in a glass case with a high-tech lock, and only three staff members and one special visitor could get into the hall that day. Detective Clara Voss got to the scene at once. She noticed that the glass case was fine—no scratches or cracks—and there were no signs that someone had tried to break the lock open. The security camera in the hall had been turned off at 7: 15 p. m., just 45 minutes before people found the painting was lost. The museum’s security system noted that the last person to enter the hall before the camera stopped working was Dr. Elena Marek, the curator who was good at 19th-century art. The three suspects were asked to answer questions: 1. Dr. Elena Marek: She said she had checked the painting at 6: 30 p. m. to get ready for the next day’s exhibition. “I left the hall at 6: 45 p.m. to go to a meeting with the museum director” she told the detective. She showed her notebook with detailed notes about the painting’s condition, but there were light blue ink marks on her hands. 2. Jake Torres: The museum’s electrician He said he was repairing the lights near the exhibition hall around 7 p. m. “I didn’t go into the hall—I only fixed the ceiling lights outside,” he explained. His toolbox had wires, a screwdriver and a small can of oil, but no one could prove where he was at that time. 3. Ms. Lila Chen: A visiting art expert who had asked for special permission to study the painting. She said she spent 30 minutes watching the painting from 5: 30 p.m. “I left the museum at 6 p.m because the rain became heavier,” she said. She showed a photo of the painting she took but the photo showed the painting’s frame was a little tilted—different from how it looked in the morning’s security video. Detective Voss checked everything carefully. She found that the high-tech lock needed a special access code and a fingerprint scan to open. Only Dr. Marek and the museum director had both, but the director was at a meeting in another city that day. She also found that the blue ink on Dr. Marek’s hands was the same as the ink used on the labels at the back of museum paintings. When she checked the storage room, she saw a roll of new labels with its first sheet missing—and the sheet was later found hidden in Jake’s toolbox. “Let’s put all the clues together ” Detective Voss said “Dr. Marek, you didn’t go to the meeting at 6:45 p.m.—you stayed in the hall and copied the access code with the blue ink labels. Then you asked Jake to turn off the security camera by saying there was something wrong with the lights. Jake, you used the oil in your toolbox to make the lock easy to open quietly, and you stole the painting while Dr. Marek drew the front desk staff’s attention away. Ms. Chen’s photo proved the painting had already been moved before she left, which was just the time you planned the crime. Dr. Marek and Jake admitted their crime. They had planned to sell the painting secretly to make money, thinking the heavy rain and the turned-off camera would help them hide what they did. But the blue ink marks and the missing label sheet made their crime known to everyone. 29．Why did Detective Voss not believe Dr. Marek’s words about her meeting? A．There were no meeting notes in her notebook. B．The museum director said there was no such meeting. C．Her hands had blue ink marks matching the museum’s labels. D．She could not explain why the frame was tilted in Ms. Chen’s photo. 30．How did Ms. Chen’s photo help Detective Voss solve the case? A．It recorded the exact time when the two thieves stole the painting. B．It clearly showed the appearance of the two thieves in the exhibition hall. C．It told the detective that Ms. Chen had worked with the two thieves secretly. D．It showed the painting’s frame was tilted, proving the painting had been moved early. 31．Which is the correct order of the events of the theft? a. Jake Torres turned off the security camera of the exhibition hall. b. Jake used oil to open the lock quietly and took the painting away. c. Dr. Marek and Jake Torres planned to sell the stolen painting secretly for money. d. Dr. Marek copied the access code of the painting’s glass case with blue ink labels. e. The valuable painting Twilight by the Lake was found missing from the City Museum. A．c-d-b-a-e B．c-d-a-b-e C．e-c-d-a-b D．e-c-b-a-d 32．What might be the reason that the two thieves chose Saturday evening to steal the painting? A．They could ask Ms. Chen to help them move the painting without being found. B．The museum was crowded with visitors and it was easy to hide themselves in the crowd. C．The director was in another city and could take charge of the museum’s security work on time. D．The heavy rain and the turned-off security camera could help them cover their tracks and avoid being caught. Passage 9 Horace was walking through the music store with his mother. She wanted him to join the school band and play an instrument. As they passed the flute and trumpet (长笛和小号) section, Horace frowned. He didn’t like their high, bright sounds. He also worried that joining the band might make other kids think he was a “band geek” and not cool. Then he saw the electric guitars. That’s more like it, he thought. A guitar looked cool and strong, not soft like a violin. Excited, he picked one up, put the strap over his shoulder, and tried to play a chord. But when he strummed the strings, all that came out was a messy, twanging (刺耳的) noise. He had no idea what he was doing. His excitement disappeared, replaced by embarrassment. “I’m awful at this,” he muttered, putting the guitar down. His mother, trying not to show her disappointment, gently led him to the last section of the store. There, an old man was sitting on a stool, playing a large, wooden instrument—a cello (大提琴). The man moved a long bow across the strings, and a deep, rich, beautiful sound filled the air. Horace stopped. The melody was sad but beautiful, and it felt completely different from the sharp sounds of the flutes or the noisy guitar. The old man saw Horace watching and smiled. He showed Horace how to hold the cello and how to pull the bow gently across one string. With a little help, Horace managed to produce a single clear, vibrating (振动的) note. It wasn’t a messy noise, it was a real musical sound. A feeling of surprise and happiness washed over him, “Mom,” he said, looking up with shining eyes, “This is it. I want to learn this. (Picture ________★________)” His mother agreed happily. For the next hour, while she talked to the store clerk about prices and lessons, Horace didn’t listen. He just watched the old man play and tried to make a few more notes himself. He had found his instrument not by looking for what seemed cool, but by listening for what truly spoke to him. 33．What does Horace mean when he thinks, “That’s more like it,” about the electric guitar? A．It is what the school band needs. B．It is the instrument his mother likes most. C．It looks cool and feels right for him. D．It is easier to play than other instruments. 34．Which of the following pictures can be put into ________★________? A． B． C． D． 35．Which shows the correct order of what Horace does in the story? ① Decide to learn the cello. ② Try the electric guitar and fail. ③ Get lost in practicing the cello. ④ Visit the music store with mother. ⑤ Hear the cello played by an old man. ⑥ Dislike the trumpet and flute sounds. A．④⑥②⑤③① B．④②⑥⑤③① C．④⑥②⑤①③ D．④②⑤⑥③① 36．What does the story mainly tell us? A．Insist on your first choice. B．Cool-looking things are best. C．Parents always know what is best. D．Choose what truly touches your heart. Passage 10 As young people, many of us dream of becoming “somebody” when we grow up. However, without enough courage or support, we often feel far away from this imagined goal. At times, strange thoughts come into our minds: Should we just give up and “lie flat” instead? Not the little piggy and his three friends from the animated (动画的) movie Nobody (无名之辈). This past summer, their story made people laugh and encouraged tens of millions of moviegoers across China. The four little, nameless monsters (妖怪) dress up as characters from the famous film Journey to the West. They leave Langlang Mountain and set out on their own pilgrimage (朝圣之旅). Along the way, many other monsters laugh at their dreams. But the little pig and his friends don’t give up. They keep fighting “bad guys”, trying to live their own life. Some say that Nobody is not just a movie, rather, it’s more like a mirror. In real life, many common people also choose to hold on to their dreams, even though they face great difficulties. One of them is Pang Zhongwang, now a star student graduating from Tsinghua University. Twenty-six years ago, however, he was born a poor “nobody” in a countryside of Hebei. His late (已故的) mother had a disability and couldn’t work. His father had a serious mental(精神) illness. Even though there were all these challenges, Pang, under his mother’s influence, grew up strong and happy. He started to take on family duties when he was very young. And deep in his heart, this “nobody” also dreamed of becoming “somebody”. He always achieved excellent grades in school through hard work. In 2017, he caught national attention by scoring an impressive 684 out of 750 in the gaokao. Pang was luckier than the four monsters in Nobody. He was much closer to his dream of becoming “somebody”. The piggy and his friends, however, fail in their pilgrimage. But their courage is now remembered by many. In a way, they have grown to become “somebodies”, too. Now, what do you want to do with your big dreams? Clearly, if you “lie flat”, you’ll remain a “nobody”. We wish you good luck as you try to break out of your own “Langlang Mountain”! 37．What do the four little monsters do when other monsters laugh at their dreams? A．They give up and lie flat. B．They try to live their own life. C．They feel sad about it. D．They are discouraged by the laughs. 38．How does the writer explain Nobody is more like a mirror in real life? A．By giving an example of Pang B．By drawing a picture of a mirror C．By listing numbers D．By introducing a film 39．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A．The four monsters in Nobody will surely achieve their dream of becoming famous. B．Pang Zhongwang’s mother’s illness had no influence on his growth. C．“Lie flat” will prevent one from realizing their big dreams. D．All common people who hold on to their dreams can become “somebody” easily. 40．What challenges made Pang Zhongwang just a poor “nobody”? ① He was born in a poor countryside. ② He worked hard to take on his family duties. ③ His mother had a disability and couldn’t work. ④ He achieved high grades in school. ⑤ His father had a serious mental illness A．①②③ B．①③⑤ C．②③④ D．②④⑤ 41．What does the underlined phrase “Langlang Mountain” refer to (指代)? A．The mountain in the film Nobody. B．The four little monsters. C．The success that we achieved finally. D．The difficulties that stop us being “somebody”. 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 / 22 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 八年级培优拔高训练 阅读理解专项练习（二） 体裁 语篇 内容简介 名著阅读 Passage 1 节选自《圣诞颂歌》，讲述了斯克鲁奇与“圣诞过去之幽灵”相遇，幽灵带着斯克鲁奇穿越到他童年生活的地方，斯克鲁奇看到过去的场景产生了诸多感慨，展现了斯克鲁奇内心的变化以及过去经历对他的影响。 Passage 2 节选自《白牙White Fang》，讲述了在Scott家生活的白牙的故事。白牙起初需要学习不攻击家禽，它曾犯错杀死许多鸟，后经Scott教导有所改变。之后Jim Hall出现，因报复而闯入家中欲杀法官，白牙为保护法官与Jim Hall激烈搏斗受伤，虽伤势严重但最终慢慢康复，此后与Scott一家生活。 Passage 3 节选自《海底两万里》，讲述了尼摩船长带“我”参观鹦鹉螺号，包括餐厅、图书馆、美术馆以及机器设备的相关情况，还介绍了鹦鹉螺号的建造方式和巨大花费。 剧本场景 Passage 4 本文是《罗马假日》第一幕的台词，这一幕讲述的是伯爵夫人给安妮公主介绍第二天的行程安排。 Passage 5 讲述了4名14岁学生野餐结束后清理现场时，因Peter操作不当引发小火灾，最终众人合力灭火的故事。 Passage 6 讲述了Molly和她的两个好朋友Sabbir和Jason在留宿聚会时，Jason讲鬼故事吓唬大家，结果突然出现一声巨响，孩子们都吓得尖叫起来，最后发现是Molly的妈妈在洗碗时不小心掉了一个盘子。 Passage 7 讲述了Lestrade通过观察和调查揭露Mr Frank自导自演盗窃名画以骗取保险金的案件。 记叙文 Passage 8 讲述了城市博物馆一幅珍贵的19世纪油画被盗，侦探克拉拉·沃斯通过调查三个嫌疑人，根据各种线索最终找出盗窃者。 Passage 9 Horace在妈妈陪同下选乐器，因电吉他难学受挫，后被大提琴声音打动，决定学习，领悟到应选触动内心的事物。 Passage 10 通过动画电影《无名之辈》的角色和现实中庞众望的故事，探讨平凡人如何坚守梦想，冲破阻碍成为“大人物”。 Passage 1 When Scrooge awoke, it was very dark.

At that moment, a light flashed in the room, and the curtains (床帘) around his bed flew open. Scrooge sat up and found himself face to face with a Ghost. The Ghost was very strange. It was the height of a child but looked like an old man. It held a large cap under its arm. “Are you the Ghost that Marley told me about?” asked Scrooge. “I am!” “Who are you?” Scrooge continued. “I am the Ghost of Christmas Past.” “Why have you come?” asked Scrooge. “For your welfare (幸福)!” said the Ghost. “Now stand up and walk with me!” When Scrooge saw the Ghost moving towards the window, he was scared. “I’m a mortal (凡人),” said Scrooge. “I’ll fall.” The Ghost laid its hand on Scrooge’s heart and said. “You won’t fall!” As the words were spoken, they passed through the wall and stood on a country road. There was no mist or darkness. It was a clear and cold winter day, with snow on the ground. “Good Heavens!” said Scrooge. “I grew up here. I was a boy here!” They walked along the road. Scrooge recognized (认出) every tree and every gate. Some boys were riding on ponies (小马). All these boys were happy and shouting to each other. Scrooge knew all the boys. He asked himself, “Why am I so happy to see them? Why am I happy when they say Merry Christmas to each other?” Then they came to a school. A boy was reading a book in one classroom. Scrooge sat down on a bench and wept (抽泣) when he saw himself. He said, “There was a boy singing a Christmas carol at my door last night.

Scott lived with his father, a judge (法官), his mother, and his sister. There were other animals as well, such as cats and chickens. White Fang had to learn that the other people in the house were friends and that he must not attack the chickens or cats. One day, he killed fifty of the birds. Scott was angry with White Fang. He did not beat him badly, but he pushed his head at the dead birds and hit White Fang at the same time. This way, White Fang knew he had done wrong. “The animal is a wolf,” Scott’s father said. “You’ll never teach him not to kill chickens.” “He won’t attack another chicken,” Scott said. “Will you make a bet with me?” The judge agreed, and the two men had a bet. “I’ll lock White Fang in the chicken house,” Scott said. “He can stay there all night. In the morning, not one chicken will be dead.” And this was what happened. White Fang behaved as if there were no chickens in the chicken house. He had learned his lesson. By this time, everyone in Scott’s family liked White Fang. They felt safe with him because he knew them, even though he was not a “house dog.” After Scott came back home from the Yukon, a dangerous man appeared. His name was Jim Hall, and he had killed many men. He wanted to kill the judge who had sent him to prison. This was Scott’s father. One night, Jim Hall got into the house and planned to shoot (射击) the judge while he slept. However, White Fang saw the strange man. He knew that this man was not a friend and leapt at him. A fight went on for a long time. Jim Hall shot White Fang several times, but White Fang would not let him go. The noise woke everyone up. The police came and took Jim Hall back to prison. White Fang’s wounds were very bad, and he was dying. Scott sent for a doctor who looked at White Fang and said, “He has only one chance in a thousand of living.” The doctor did everything he could for White Fang, but he lost a lot of blood. He had a broken leg, and there were bullet holes in his chest. But as the days passed, White Fang slowly got better. He lived, but he could not fight again. He lived the rest of his life quietly with Scott and his family, a much gentler and much loved wolf-dog. —Adapted from White Fang 5．How many people were there in Scott’s family? A．Seven. B．Six.

This was Scott’s father.”可知，Jim Hall想杀Scott的父亲，因为Scott的父亲是把他送进监狱的法官，所以Jim Hall因为Scott的父亲把他送进监狱而恨Scott的父亲，B选项正确；根据“The police came and took Jim Hall back to prison.”可知，是警察把Jim Hall带回监狱，不是医生，A选项错误；文中可知Scott赢得了赌约，C选项错误；根据“But as the days passed, White Fang slowly got better.”可知，白牙慢慢好转了，没有死，D选项错误。故选B。 7．细节理解题。根据“One night, Jim Hall got into the house and planned to shoot (射击) the judge while he slept.”可知，Jim Hall闯入法官家想杀他，对应d；根据“However, White Fang saw the strange man. He knew that this man was not a friend and leapt at him. A fight went on for a long time. Jim Hall shot White Fang several times, but White Fang would not let him go.”可知，白牙与Jim Hall搏斗并受伤，对应c；根据“Scott sent for a doctor who looked at White Fang and said...”可知，Scott请医生来救白牙，对应a；根据“But as the days passed, White Fang slowly got better.”可知，白牙慢慢好转，对应b。所以顺序是d-c-a-b。故选A。 8．最佳标题题。文章主要围绕白牙与危险人物Jim Hall的搏斗展开，讲述了白牙为保护法官受伤，最后慢慢康复的故事，所以“White Fang’s last fight”作为标题最合适。故选D。 Passage 3 Captain Nemo took me to the dining room. We sat at a table in the middle of the room and ate a delicious lunch. He told me that all the food came from the sea. “I love the sea,” he said. “It gives me everything that I need. Even my clothes come from the sea. It is a place of perfect peace. There are no governments, no taxes, and no wars. Here, I am truly free! I will never return to the land.” He took me to see the library which had thousands of books in many languages. Then he showed me the art gallery. It had many paintings by famous artists. The next room was a museum with all kinds of treasures from the sea. I had never seen such a good museum. Captain Nemo was very proud of his collection and very proud of the Nautilus (鹦鹉螺号). He told me that he had discovered a way to make electricity (电) using salt and mercury (水银). This electricity gave the Nautilus all the power it needed to move through the water. Huge pumps filled and emptied tanks of air and water to make the Nautilus sink or rise. After we got to the engine room, Captain Nemo showed me the engine and explained how it worked. The Nautilus was seventy meters long and eight meters wide. It had a cylindrical (圆柱形的) shape with points on each end and weighed 1,500 tons. “It’s a wonderful ship!” I exclaimed (惊叫). “I love it as if it were my child,” he replied. “How did you build it in secret?” I asked. “All the parts were made in different countries. I used different names each time I placed an order. I took all the parts to a desert island, and my workmen put them together. Then, we burned our workshops.” “It must have cost a fortune!(大笔的钱)” I exclaimed. “Millions of dollars,” he replied. “However, I have billions!” —Taken from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea 9．Which is the meaning of the word sink? A．go down B．go up C．go around D．go back 10．Which is the correct order of what happened in the passage? a. We had a delicious lunch together. b. Captain Nemo showed “me” how the engine worked c. “I” was amazed at the cost of building the ship. d. “I” saw thousands of books in different languages. e. Captain Nemo told “me” a new way to make electricity. A．a-d-e-c-b B．a-b-d-e-c C．a-b-c-e-d D．a-d-e-b-c 11．We can know from the passage that _________. A．Captain Nemo would show “me” around his workshops B．Captain used his name to place orders in different countries C．Captain devoted almost all his money to building Nautilus D．Nautilus could rise to the surface by filling tanks of air and emptying water 【答案】9．A 10．D 11．D 【解析】9．词句猜测题。根据“Huge pumps filled and emptied tanks of air and water to make the Nautilus sink or rise.”可知，巨大的泵将空气和水注入水箱或使水箱排空，以此让鹦鹉螺号下沉或上升，所以“sink”的意思是“下沉，下降”。选项A“go down（下降）”符合。故选A。 10．细节理解题。根据第一段“We sat at a table in the middle of the room and ate a delicious lunch.”可知，作者和尼摩船长一起吃了美味的午餐，a排在第一位；根据第一段“He took me to see the library which had thousands of books in many languages.”可知，作者看到了不同语言的数千本书，d排在第二位；根据第二段“He told me that he had discovered a way to make electricity (电) using salt and mercury (水银).”可知，尼摩船长告诉作者一种新的发电方法，e排在第三位；根据第三段“After we got to the engine room, Captain Nemo showed me the engine and explained how it worked.”可知，尼摩船长向作者展示了发动机并解释了它的工作原理，b排在第四位；根据第四段“‘It must have cost a fortune!(大笔的钱)’ I exclaimed.”可知，作者对建造这艘船的成本感到惊讶，c排在第五位。因此正确的顺序是a-d-e-b-c。故选D。 11．推理判断题。根据第二段“Huge pumps filled and emptied tanks of air and water to make the Nautilus sink or rise.”可知，巨大的泵把空气和水箱装满和排空，使鹦鹉螺号下沉或上升，由此可推测鹦鹉螺号可以通过装满空气箱和排空水来上升到水面，D选项表述正确。故选D。 Passage 4 Scene l (Later that night in Princess Ann’s bedroom.

Sabbir: You’re describing this house! Jason: Every night, Jack would walk through the house.

Don’t be so boring!”以及他讲鬼故事时的表现，可以推断Jason是在试图表现得勇敢和酷。而Molly虽然一开始不以为然，但后来也被故事吸引；Sabbir则明确表示希望故事不要太吓人，因为他想睡觉。因此，选项B“Jason is trying to act brave and cool.”是正确的。故选B。 23．细节理解题。根据剧本的描述，当Jason讲鬼故事时，突然出现一声巨响，孩子们都吓得尖叫起来，这是整个场景的高潮部分。故选D。 24．主旨大意题。根据剧本内容可知，本文主要讲述了Molly和她的朋友们在留宿聚会时听鬼故事的故事，因此最合适的标题是“The Sleepover Ghost Story”。故选C。 Passage 7 Scene 1   Living room in Mr Frank’s house. Mr Frank is sitting on the sofa, looking sad. Lestrade enters. Mr Frank: Good morning, sir. Please sit down and have a drink. Lestrade: Good morning, Mr Frank. Thank you. So tell me about your case. Mr Frank: Well, I live alone. My father passed away last week, and he left me a famous painting. I locked it in the safe in the living-room yesterday. When I got up this morning, however, the safe was open and the painting wasn’t there! Lestrade: I see a necklace near the open safe. Does anyone know about the painting? Mr Frank: I showed it to only two people—Zoe and Jimmy. They both work in my house. Oh, the necklace belongs to Zoe. I saw her wear it last week. Lestrade: I see. Outside the open window, there’s a lot of mud on the wet ground. Inside the room, the floor was completely clean. Can I see Zoe and Jimmy, please? Mr Frank: Sure. Come with me, sir. Scene 2   Garden behind Mr Frank’s house. The garden, full of roses. Mr Frank is sitting under a large tree. Lestrade is walking around slowly. The sound of quick footsteps is heard. Zoe: [Rushing to Lestrade.] Oh no, sir! It’s not me! I didn’t steal the painting. Believe me! Lestrade: Calm down, Madam. Tell me what you did last night. Zoe: I went to sleep after I did all the cleaning and washing in the house. Lestrade: Is this your necklace, Madam? [Showing the necklace.] I found it near the open safe. Zoe: Why, yes! It’s mine! I lost it three days ago. It was cheap, so I didn’t tell anyone. Sir, believe me! [Starting to cry.] Lestrade: Madam, I never jump to conclusions. I need proof. What about you, Jimmy? Jimmy: I was on guard the whole night. It was raining and I didn’t see anything unusual. Lestrade: OK. You two can leave now. [Turning to Mr Frank.] I know who the thief is. Mr Frank: [With eyes and mouth wide open] You do? Who is it? Lestrade: You, sir! Mr Frank: Me? You mean I stole my own painting? Are you joking? Lestrade: I’m serious, Mr Frank. The mud outside and the clean floor inside told me that probably no thief broke into your house. Before I came here, I had checked with the insurance company. They told me you had bought insurance for the painting. They would pay you 200,000 dollars if the painting was stolen. Mr Frank: What about the necklace, then? Lestrade: You stole it as well. You tried to make sure that Zoe would go to prison instead of you. Mr Frank, I like being a detective. My dream is to find the real criminal and protect the person who hasn’t done anything wrong. 25．What made Lestrade first doubt Mr Frank? A．Zoe cried and said she was innocent. B．The clean floor inside and muddy ground outside. C．Jimmy said he was on guard all night. D．Lestrade saw a necklace near the open safe. 26．What are the steps Lestrade used in finding out the truth? a. He checked Zoe’s story about someone stealing her necklace. b. He interviewed Jimmy. c. He had a talk with Mr Frank about the missing painting. d. He found some clues at the scene. e. He checked and found that Mr Frank had bought insurance for the painting. A．e-c-d-a-b B．e-c-a-d-b C．c-d-e-a-b D．c-d-a-b-e 27．What does the underlined phrase “jump to conclusions” mean? A．Make a promise for a long time. B．Jump around in a hurry. C．Change my mind suddenly. D．Come to a decision too quickly. 28．What was Mr Frank’s real purpose of losing the painting? ________ A．To let Zoe be put into prison instead of him. B．To make Jimmy lose his job as a guard. C．To hide the fact that he had sold the painting secretly. D．To get the money from the insurance company. 【答案】25．B 26．D 27．D 28．D 【解析】25．细节理解题。根据“Outside the open window, there’s a lot of mud on the wet ground. Inside the room, the floor was completely clean.”及“The mud outside and the clean floor inside told me that probably no thief broke into your house.”可知，室内干净的地板和室外泥泞的地面让Lestrade首先怀疑Mr Frank。故选B。 26．细节理解题。从剧情可知，莱斯特雷德先与弗兰克先生交谈了解案件（c），然后在现场发现线索（d），接着询问佐伊和吉米（a、b），在最后揭穿真相时提到之前已核实弗兰克为画买了保险（e）。因此正确顺序是c-d-a-b-e。故选D。 27．词句猜测题。根据“Madam, I never jump to conclusions. I need proof”可知，Lestrade说他需要证据，因此不会草率下结论，划线词表示“草率下结论”。故选D。 28．推理判断题。根据“They told me you had bought insurance for the painting. They would pay you 200,000 dollars if the painting was stolen.”可知，骗取保险金是他的主要目的。故选D。 Passage 8 Late on a rainy Saturday evening, the City Museum reported a theft: a valuable 19th-century oil painting named Twilight by the Lake had disappeared from its exhibition hall. The painting was put in a glass case with a high-tech lock, and only three staff members and one special visitor could get into the hall that day. Detective Clara Voss got to the scene at once. She noticed that the glass case was fine—no scratches or cracks—and there were no signs that someone had tried to break the lock open. The security camera in the hall had been turned off at 7: 15 p. m., just 45 minutes before people found the painting was lost. The museum’s security system noted that the last person to enter the hall before the camera stopped working was Dr. Elena Marek, the curator who was good at 19th-century art. The three suspects were asked to answer questions: 1. Dr. Elena Marek: She said she had checked the painting at 6: 30 p. m. to get ready for the next day’s exhibition. “I left the hall at 6: 45 p.m. to go to a meeting with the museum director” she told the detective. She showed her notebook with detailed notes about the painting’s condition, but there were light blue ink marks on her hands. 2. Jake Torres: The museum’s electrician He said he was repairing the lights near the exhibition hall around 7 p. m. “I didn’t go into the hall—I only fixed the ceiling lights outside,” he explained. His toolbox had wires, a screwdriver and a small can of oil, but no one could prove where he was at that time. 3. Ms. Lila Chen: A visiting art expert who had asked for special permission to study the painting. She said she spent 30 minutes watching the painting from 5: 30 p.m. “I left the museum at 6 p.m because the rain became heavier,” she said. She showed a photo of the painting she took but the photo showed the painting’s frame was a little tilted—different from how it looked in the morning’s security video. Detective Voss checked everything carefully. She found that the high-tech lock needed a special access code and a fingerprint scan to open. Only Dr. Marek and the museum director had both, but the director was at a meeting in another city that day. She also found that the blue ink on Dr. Marek’s hands was the same as the ink used on the labels at the back of museum paintings. When she checked the storage room, she saw a roll of new labels with its first sheet missing—and the sheet was later found hidden in Jake’s toolbox. “Let’s put all the clues together ” Detective Voss said “Dr. Marek, you didn’t go to the meeting at 6:45 p.m.—you stayed in the hall and copied the access code with the blue ink labels. Then you asked Jake to turn off the security camera by saying there was something wrong with the lights. Jake, you used the oil in your toolbox to make the lock easy to open quietly, and you stole the painting while Dr. Marek drew the front desk staff’s attention away. Ms. Chen’s photo proved the painting had already been moved before she left, which was just the time you planned the crime. Dr. Marek and Jake admitted their crime. They had planned to sell the painting secretly to make money, thinking the heavy rain and the turned-off camera would help them hide what they did. But the blue ink marks and the missing label sheet made their crime known to everyone. 29．Why did Detective Voss not believe Dr. Marek’s words about her meeting? A．There were no meeting notes in her notebook. B．The museum director said there was no such meeting. C．Her hands had blue ink marks matching the museum’s labels. D．She could not explain why the frame was tilted in Ms. Chen’s photo. 30．How did Ms. Chen’s photo help Detective Voss solve the case? A．It recorded the exact time when the two thieves stole the painting. B．It clearly showed the appearance of the two thieves in the exhibition hall. C．It told the detective that Ms. Chen had worked with the two thieves secretly. D．It showed the painting’s frame was tilted, proving the painting had been moved early. 31．Which is the correct order of the events of the theft? a. Jake Torres turned off the security camera of the exhibition hall. b. Jake used oil to open the lock quietly and took the painting away. c. Dr. Marek and Jake Torres planned to sell the stolen painting secretly for money. d. Dr. Marek copied the access code of the painting’s glass case with blue ink labels. e. The valuable painting Twilight by the Lake was found missing from the City Museum. A．c-d-b-a-e B．c-d-a-b-e C．e-c-d-a-b D．e-c-b-a-d 32．What might be the reason that the two thieves chose Saturday evening to steal the painting? A．They could ask Ms. Chen to help them move the painting without being found. B．The museum was crowded with visitors and it was easy to hide themselves in the crowd. C．The director was in another city and could take charge of the museum’s security work on time. D．The heavy rain and the turned-off security camera could help them cover their tracks and avoid being caught. 【答案】29．C 30．D 31．B 32．D 【解析】29．细节理解题。根据“She found that the high-tech lock needed a special access code and a fingerprint scan to open. Only Dr. Marek and the museum director had both, but the director was at a meeting in another city that day. She also found that the blue ink on Dr. Marek’s hands was the same as the ink used on the labels at the back of museum paintings.”可知，侦探沃斯发现高科技锁需要特殊访问代码和指纹扫描才能打开，只有马雷克博士和博物馆馆长有，但馆长那天在另一个城市开会，且马雷克博士手上的蓝色墨水与博物馆画作背面标签使用的墨水相同，由此可推断出沃斯不相信马雷克博士关于她去开会的说法是因为她手上有与博物馆标签匹配的蓝色墨水痕迹。故选C。 30．细节理解题。根据“She showed a photo of the painting she took but the photo showed the painting s frame was a little tilted—different from how it looked in the morning’s security video.”以及“Ms. Chen’s photo proved the painting had already been moved before she left, which was just the time you planned the crime”可知，陈女士的照片显示画框有点倾斜，与早上安全视频里的样子不同，这证明在她离开前画已经被移动过了，这帮助侦探沃斯确定了画被盗的时间更早。故选D。 31．细节理解题。根据“Dr. Marek and Jake admitted their crime. They had planned to sell the painting secretly to make money”、“Dr Marek, you didn’t go to the meeting at 6:45 p.m.—you stayed in the hall and copied the access code with the blue ink labels.”、“Then you asked Jake to turn off the security camera by saying there was something wrong with the lights.”、“Jake, you used the oil in your toolbox to make the lock easy to open quietly, and you stole the painting”以及“The valuable 19th-century oil painting named Twilight by the Lake had disappeared from its exhibition hall.”可知，先是马雷克博士和杰克·托雷斯计划偷偷卖掉画作赚钱，然后马雷克博士用蓝色墨水标签复制了玻璃柜的访问代码，接着杰克关掉了展厅的安全摄像头，之后杰克用工具箱里的油悄悄打开锁偷走了画作，最后这幅名为《湖畔暮光》的珍贵油画被发现从城市博物馆失踪了，所以正确顺序是c-d-a-b-e。故选B。 32．细节理解题。根据“They had planned to sell the painting secretly to make money, thinking the heavy rain and the turned-off security camera would help them hide what they did.”可知，他们原计划偷偷卖掉画作赚钱，认为大雨和关闭的摄像头会帮助他们掩盖他们的所作所为，所以他们选择周六晚上偷画可能是因为大雨和关闭的安全摄像头可以帮助他们掩盖行踪，避免被抓。故选D。 Passage 9 Horace was walking through the music store with his mother. She wanted him to join the school band and play an instrument. As they passed the flute and trumpet (长笛和小号) section, Horace frowned. He didn’t like their high, bright sounds. He also worried that joining the band might make other kids think he was a “band geek” and not cool. Then he saw the electric guitars. That’s more like it, he thought. A guitar looked cool and strong, not soft like a violin. Excited, he picked one up, put the strap over his shoulder, and tried to play a chord. But when he strummed the strings, all that came out was a messy, twanging (刺耳的) noise. He had no idea what he was doing. His excitement disappeared, replaced by embarrassment. “I’m awful at this,” he muttered, putting the guitar down. His mother, trying not to show her disappointment, gently led him to the last section of the store. There, an old man was sitting on a stool, playing a large, wooden instrument—a cello (大提琴). The man moved a long bow across the strings, and a deep, rich, beautiful sound filled the air. Horace stopped. The melody was sad but beautiful, and it felt completely different from the sharp sounds of the flutes or the noisy guitar. The old man saw Horace watching and smiled. He showed Horace how to hold the cello and how to pull the bow gently across one string. With a little help, Horace managed to produce a single clear, vibrating (振动的) note. It wasn’t a messy noise, it was a real musical sound. A feeling of surprise and happiness washed over him, “Mom,” he said, looking up with shining eyes, “This is it. I want to learn this. (Picture ________★________)” His mother agreed happily. For the next hour, while she talked to the store clerk about prices and lessons, Horace didn’t listen. He just watched the old man play and tried to make a few more notes himself. He had found his instrument not by looking for what seemed cool, but by listening for what truly spoke to him. 33．What does Horace mean when he thinks, “That’s more like it,” about the electric guitar? A．It is what the school band needs. B．It is the instrument his mother likes most. C．It looks cool and feels right for him. D．It is easier to play than other instruments. 34．Which of the following pictures can be put into ________★________? A． B． C． D． 35．Which shows the correct order of what Horace does in the story? ① Decide to learn the cello. ② Try the electric guitar and fail. ③ Get lost in practicing the cello. ④ Visit the music store with mother. ⑤ Hear the cello played by an old man. ⑥ Dislike the trumpet and flute sounds. A．④⑥②⑤③① B．④②⑥⑤③① C．④⑥②⑤①③ D．④②⑤⑥③① 36．What does the story mainly tell us? A．Insist on your first choice. B．Cool-looking things are best. C．Parents always know what is best. D．Choose what truly touches your heart. 【答案】33．C 34．B 35．C 36．D 【解析】33．细节理解题。根据“A guitar looked cool and strong, not soft like a violin.”可知，Horace认为电吉他看起来酷且符合他的感觉，故选C。 34．细节理解题。根据“He showed Horace how to hold the cello and how to pull the bow gently across one string...looking up with shining eyes”可知，此处应填能体现Horace拿着大提琴、神情兴奋的图片。图片B符合场景，故选B。 35．细节理解题。结合全文，故事顺序为：④和妈妈逛乐器店→⑥不喜欢长笛和小号→②尝试电吉他失败→⑤听到老人拉大提琴→①决定学大提琴→③沉浸练习大提琴，故选C。 36．主旨大意题。根据“He had found his instrument not by looking for what seemed cool, but by listening for what truly spoke to him.”可知，故事告诉我们要选择真正触动内心的事物，故选D。 Passage 10 As young people, many of us dream of becoming “somebody” when we grow up. However, without enough courage or support, we often feel far away from this imagined goal. At times, strange thoughts come into our minds: Should we just give up and “lie flat” instead? Not the little piggy and his three friends from the animated (动画的) movie Nobody (无名之辈). This past summer, their story made people laugh and encouraged tens of millions of moviegoers across China. The four little, nameless monsters (妖怪) dress up as characters from the famous film Journey to the West. They leave Langlang Mountain and set out on their own pilgrimage (朝圣之旅). Along the way, many other monsters laugh at their dreams. But the little pig and his friends don’t give up. They keep fighting “bad guys”, trying to live their own life. Some say that Nobody is not just a movie, rather, it’s more like a mirror. In real life, many common people also choose to hold on to their dreams, even though they face great difficulties. One of them is Pang Zhongwang, now a star student graduating from Tsinghua University. Twenty-six years ago, however, he was born a poor “nobody” in a countryside of Hebei. His late (已故的) mother had a disability and couldn’t work. His father had a serious mental(精神) illness. Even though there were all these challenges, Pang, under his mother’s influence, grew up strong and happy. He started to take on family duties when he was very young. And deep in his heart, this “nobody” also dreamed of becoming “somebody”. He always achieved excellent grades in school through hard work. In 2017, he caught national attention by scoring an impressive 684 out of 750 in the gaokao. Pang was luckier than the four monsters in Nobody. He was much closer to his dream of becoming “somebody”. The piggy and his friends, however, fail in their pilgrimage. But their courage is now remembered by many. In a way, they have grown to become “somebodies”, too. Now, what do you want to do with your big dreams? Clearly, if you “lie flat”, you’ll remain a “nobody”. We wish you good luck as you try to break out of your own “Langlang Mountain”! 37．What do the four little monsters do when other monsters laugh at their dreams? A．They give up and lie flat. B．They try to live their own life. C．They feel sad about it. D．They are discouraged by the laughs. 38．How does the writer explain Nobody is more like a mirror in real life? A．By giving an example of Pang B．By drawing a picture of a mirror C．By listing numbers D．By introducing a film 39．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A．The four monsters in Nobody will surely achieve their dream of becoming famous. B．Pang Zhongwang’s mother’s illness had no influence on his growth. C．“Lie flat” will prevent one from realizing their big dreams. D．All common people who hold on to their dreams can become “somebody” easily. 40．What challenges made Pang Zhongwang just a poor “nobody”? ① He was born in a poor countryside. ② He worked hard to take on his family duties. ③ His mother had a disability and couldn’t work. ④ He achieved high grades in school. ⑤ His father had a serious mental illness A．①②③ B．①③⑤ C．②③④ D．②④⑤ 41．What does the underlined phrase “Langlang Mountain” refer to (指代)? A．The mountain in the film Nobody. B．The four little monsters. C．The success that we achieved finally. D．The difficulties that stop us being “somebody”. 【答案】37．B 38．A 39．C 40．B 41．D 【解析】37．细节理解题。根据“Along the way, many other monsters laugh at their dreams. But the little pig and his friends don’t give up. They keep fighting ‘bad guys’, trying to live their own life.” 可知，当其他妖怪嘲笑他们的梦想时，四个小妖怪努力过自己的生活。故选B。 38．细节理解题。根据“Some say that Nobody is not just a movie, rather, it’s more like a mirror. In real life, many common people also choose to hold on to their dreams, even though they face great difficulties. One of them is Pang Zhongwang...”可知，作者通过举庞众望的例子来阐释《无名之辈》在现实生活中更像一面镜子。故选A。 39．推理判断题。根据“Clearly, if you ‘lie flat’, you’ll remain a ‘nobody’.” 可推断，“躺平”会阻碍一个人实现远大梦想。故选C。 40．细节理解题。根据“Twenty-six years ago, however, he was born a poor ‘nobody’ in a countryside of Hebei. His late (已故的) mother had a disability and couldn’t work. His father had a serious mental (精神) illness.”可知，庞众望面临的挑战是：出生在河北农村的贫困家庭、母亲残疾无法工作、父亲患有严重精神疾病，对应①③⑤。故选B。 41．词义猜测题。结合文章语境，四个小妖怪离开浪浪山去追求梦想，文中将其类比为人们突破阻碍成为“大人物”的过程，因此“Langlang Mountain”指代阻碍我们成为“大人物”的困难。故选D。 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 / 22 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
