His repeated actions caused the curiosity of his neighbor, William Dunn. “He said he didn’t have a father,” says Dunn, now aged 58.” And I realized that there might be something I could do to help him.” That “something” was fishing, a hobby that Dunn’s father had once shared with him. He did it at once. After fishing together several times, Dunn saw encouraging changes in the boy’s behavior. That was 16 years ago. Since then, Dunn has taken groups of fatherless kids fishing almost every weekend, teaching them how to set up a fishing line and bring in a big catch. “They’ve been through a lot, and their lives have been challenging,” Dunn explains. “But when they’re fishing, all those pains disappear. On the boat, they laugh, smile, and make new friends. I knew I was onto something special.” Jayden, now 23, has become a fisherman and thanks Dunn for helping him grow up. He proudly mentions catching a shark with Dunn’s help, “I hope he knows that I mean it when I say thank you.” Another girl, 21-year-old Bella Smith, who is in a foster (抚养) program for young adults, notes that Dunn pays special attention to self-respect and spiritual strength. “When I’m fishing, I can forget about the past and enjoy something fun,” says Bella Smith. “Fishing has taught me that I can have a better life than what I had. Whenever I feel down, I know it’s time to go fishing.” “There’s nothing like feeling the first pull on the line and seeing a kid’s face light up with a smile,” Dunn adds. “I feel lucky to witness that every weekend.” 1．What do we know about the 8-year-old boy? A．He didn’t like fishing. B．His father was a fisherman. C．He was the first child Dunn taught to fish to help. D．His repeated actions were to catch his father’s attention. 2．Why did Dunn take children fishing almost every weekend? A．His father told him to do so. B．He wanted to help them live on fishing. C．Their fathers didn’t want them to learn fishing. D．He believed fishing could help them in some way. 3．What does Bella Smith think Dunn gives importance to? A．Personality development. B．Fishing skills. C．Unhappy experiences. D．Wealthy life. 4．Which of the following can best describe Dunn? A．Hard-working. B．Caring. C．Romantic. D．Strict. My father was busy fixing Belinda’s spaceship all afternoon. In the evening, I went to the landing place. “Dear Father,” I said politely. “Have you found Belinda’s parents yet?” “Not yet, my dear.” He shook his head. I felt relaxed. I didn’t want to meet Belinda’s parents—they might be ten times as loud and bossy as she was. But Belinda had followed me. “Not yet?” she shouted. “Why not? I’ll send them a message! They’ll listen to me!” Belinda ran to the radio. She shouted into it so loudly that I had to cover all my four ears. “Mummy! Daddy! I’m on an awful spaceship full of purple people! Come and find me now!” “Poor Belinda!” my sister came and said. “Her parents must be missing her.” “Huh!” I snorted (发出哼声). “Missing her? You’re joking! Who would want such a bossy kid back? They probably lost her on purpose.” Belinda’s face clouded. I thought she was going to shout again, but she didn’t. Instead, something very strange happened — her eyes began to water! “Oh, help!” said Roa. “Is she dying?” I felt terrible. “Don’t die, Belinda! I didn’t mean it.” Then Belinda opened her mouth wide and shouted, “What if it’s true? What if they’ve gone away and left me here forever?” We were all so busy comforting Belinda that we didn’t notice the soft knock of a ship landing outside. We didn’t see two tall people come out of it until Belinda ran out in excitement. “Mummy! Daddy!” Belinda’s parents were even uglier than she was, but they looked polite. “Hello, dear,” the female said. “We’re sorry we kept you waiting.” We smiled as the three of them boarded their spaceship. “Goodbye!” shouted Belinda. “Goodbye! Thanks for taking care of our baby girl!” said her father. None of us answered. We waved (挥手) cheerfully as the ship took off and went far away into the stars. 1．What most probably happened before this passage? A．“I” just met Belinda’s parents. B．Belinda’s parents left Belinda alone on purpose. C．Belinda got separated from her parents for some reason.

D．A detective story. 【热点话题练习】 Genevieve Moss has serious hearing loss. Her world has always been silent. Alone in a town in England, she often felt lonely. Then one day in April in 2021, something stopped Moss as she read the local newspaper. It was a photo of a tiny black-and-white cat. A family was looking for a home for their last newborn cat. Moss fell in love with it at first sight and contacted the family. Soon, the cat came to Moss’s house. Moss called the cat Zebby because his colors looked like those of a zebra. Moss once heard of studies showing that pets can help people deal with loneliness. However, she had no idea that Zebby would become her helper and her ears. From their first night together, Zebby has slept next to her. When he hears noises in the dark, he jumps up. “He became my night watch cat,” Moss said. “Sometimes he would run around the room until I woke up.” After several weeks, Moss noticed that whenever her phone rang or someone knocked at the door, Zebby would touch her lightly. It wasn’t long before the cat took on another task: collecting Moss’s mail. Now whenever he hears the mailbox being opened, he runs towards it, carries the mail in his mouth and drops it at Moss’s feet. This past May, Zebby was named Britain’s National Cat of the Year by Cats Protection. According to the largest cat charity, Zebby beat out about 3,000 other cats because of the many ways he makes Moss’s life easier. He has had no training at all, but his natural abilities seem to have told him that his owner needs his help. “Zebby has made my house a home,” Moss said. “I can hardly imagine not having Zebby in my life now.” 1．Why did Moss choose the cat? A．Because she liked it when she saw its photo. B．Because she wished to have a helping ear. C．Because she wanted to help a local family. D．Because she planned to study pet animals. 2．What do the underlined words “beat out” probably mean in Paragraph 5? A．Looked prettier than. B．Was quieter than. C．Felt softer than. D．Did better than. 3．What is the best title for the passage? A．Moss trains Zebby for the prize B．Zebby brings help and joy to Moss C．Moss takes good care of Zebby D．Zebby finds itself a warm home I’m Henry Adams. When I was 27, I worked in an office in San Francisco. One Saturday afternoon, I sailed my little boat out into the Bay of San Francisco. The strong wind pushed my boat out of the bay and into the Pacific Ocean. Luckily, I was saved by a British ship. The ship was heading to London. I had only one dollar when I arrived in London. I walked around Portland Place, hungry and tired. At that moment, the window of a nearby house opened and a man said to me, “Come in here, please!” I was taken to a nice room. There two old gentlemen were sitting and discussing something. They were brothers. They had been arguing about (争论) a strange subject for several days. One brother said, “If an honest and clever stranger arrives in London without a friend or money, except for a 5,000,000 banknote (钞票), he will die of hunger. If he goes to the bank or anywhere else to change this big note, the police will put him in prison. Everyone will think he stole it.” The other brother answered, “No, I disagree.” The two gentlemen decided to end their argument with a bet. They chose me because I had an honest and clever face and because I was a stranger to England. One of them gave me a little packet and told me not to open it until I was in my hotel room. After leaving the house, I opened the packet and saw that there was money inside. I rushed to the nearest restaurant. After eating, I tried to pay with the money but discovered that it was a banknote worth five million dollars! It made my head swim. No one could possibly cash (兑换现金) it. The owner said, “You can pay for the meal whenever you want, sir. I understand that you are a very rich gentleman. You like playing jokes on people by dressing like a poor man.” I quickly returned to the house but was told that they had left on a trip. Then I remembered the letter inside the packet. It said, “In this packet you’ll find some money. It is yours for only 30 days. At the end of that time, return to this house. We have a bet on you.” How amazing! 1．How did Henry Adams reach London?

The robin (知更鸟) had followed her. “You showed me where the key was yesterday.” she said. “You should show me the door today.” The robin jumped on to an old climbing plant on the wall, and sang his most beautiful song. Mary always said that what happened almost at that moment was Magic. Mary had stepped close to the robin, and suddenly the wind moved away some thick, heavy ivy vines (常春藤藤蔓), She had seen something under it—a round knob (圆形把手) which had been covered by the leaves hanging over it. It was the knob of the door. She put her hands under the leaves and began to pull and push them away. Mary’s heart began to beat fast and her hands to shake a little in her joy. The robin kept singing and turning his head on one side, as if he were as excited as she was. It was the lock of the door which had been closed ten years and she put her hand in her pocket, drew out the key and found it fitted the keyhole. She put the key in and turned it. It took two hands to do it, but it did turn. And then she took a long breath and looked behind her up the long walk to see if anyone was coming. No one was coming. No one ever did come, it seemed, and she took another long breath, because she could not help it, and she held back the falling ivy and pushed back the door which opened slowly—slowly. Then she slipped through it, and shut it behind her, and stood with her back against it, looking around her and breathing quite fast with excitement, and worry, and joy.

Kai played a guqin (古琴) solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums. The band played faster and faster. Kai’s classmates jumped to their feet, clapping and screaming. When the music ended, there was an awkward (尴尬的) silence. They all looked at the teachers. Mr Li asked, “What were you trying to express?” Kai murmured, “I wanted to do something different...to modernize the guqin’s sound.” “Well, it’s a good try. But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well,” said Mr Li. “The music was...We could hardly hear the guqin,” added Miss Zhou. “I’m afraid I can’t give you high marks.” “Please, can I have another chance?” begged Kai. They finally agreed. Alone in the hall later, Kai sat in his chair, feeling a little sad. “I understand what you were trying to do,” Kai looked up and saw Miss Zhou by his side. “But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.” Kai was puzzled. What did she mean? “The guqin is connected to nature. The bottom board represents the ground, and the rounded top board represents the sky. A wonderful guqin performance shows the harmony (和谐) between people and nature.” “Miss Zhou, is it fine to play the guqin with other instruments (乐器)?” “Because it is so quiet,” replied Miss Zhou, “it’s usually played alone. Sometimes, it can be played with the dizi or another guqin. Every note matters. And you know, there’s Chinese philosophy (哲理) behind every form of art. That’s what makes Chinese art special. We should try hard to keep the value of traditions and connect them with modern life.” “Is it true that Confucius (孔子) played the guqin?” “Exactly. Confucius believed that music was necessary for a well-rounded education. It could help a person develop his inner self.” “Can I make it modern?” Kai was wondering if he had asked a stupid question. “Ancient musicians followed traditions to show respect. To modernize it, try to find the right way to keep the value. How will you change your piece?” “I’m not sure yet,” said Kai. “But I’m going to do something different again.” That night, Kai kept thinking about the next show. “How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern touch?” he wondered. Then, he had an idea... 1．In Kai’s teachers’ eyes, his first performance failed mainly because he didn’t ________. A．play the drums well B．work well with others C．express personal feelings D．show the guqin’s value 2．Why did Miss Zhou mention Confucius when talking with Kai? A．To tell Kai the guqin has a long history. B．To explain the cultural influence of the guqin. C．To advise Kai to learn from ancient musicians. D．To show Confucius was good at playing the guqin. 3．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Miss Zhou gave her advice to Kai.      b. The classmates kept a short silence. c. Kai asked for another chance to play.      d. The teachers pointed out Kai’s problem. e. Kai played the guqin with drum rhythms. A．a-e-d-c-b B．e-b-d-c-a C．e-a-b-d-c D．a-b-d-e-c 4．What lesson has Kai learned from his experience? A．Strict rules will stop our creativity in music. B．Traditional instruments should be modernized. C．Creation requires us to understand the tradition first. D．The guqin is necessary for a well-rounded education. One Monday morning, Paul and his classmates were in the science laboratory for their Chemistry lesson. The students were going to do an experiment. Before they began, the teacher gave them this description of the different stages of the experiment. Stage 1: Prepare the equipment (器械): a test tube (试管), a crucible (坩埚), a Bunsen burner (煤气灯) and a pair of tongs (钳子). Stage 2: Weigh 5 grams of baking soda and put it in a crucible. Stage 3: Heat 10 ml of hydrochloric acid (盐酸) in a test tube. Stage 4: Pour the warm acid onto the baking soda and continue to heat the mixture. Result: The acid reacts (反应) with NaHCO₃ to form water and CO₂. The hotter the mixture, the quicker the reaction. Continue to heat the mixture until the water evaporates (蒸发), leaving the salt in the crucible. Paul and his partner followed the instructions and set up their equipment. Paul went to the cupboard to get a bottle of hydrochloric acid. He found that there was only one bottle in the cupboard, so he took that. There was no label (标签) on the bottle and Paul didn’t check with the teacher if it was the right solution (溶液). He measured (量) the liquid (液体) and poured it into a test tube. Using tongs to hold the test tube, he heated it over the Bunsen burner. That’s when things started to go wrong. The liquid in the test tube was not hydrochloric acid. When it was heated, it formed a thick cloud of white gas. Soon the room was full of this strong-smelling white gas. All the students started coughing and their eyes hurt. The teacher opened the windows right away and ordered the students to leave the laboratory at once. She realized that the liquid was acrylamide (丙烯酰胺) and that it is poisonous (有毒的). Luckily, nobody was hurt in the accident. However, it taught the students and the teacher a good lesson. 1．The teacher and her students planned to make ________ in the experiment. A．water B．salt C．acrylamide D．CO₂ 2．What happened when Paul heated the liquid? A．His teacher ordered him to stop it at once. B．The white poisonous gas was formed. C．All the students left the lab at once. D．Someone was hurt in the accident. 3．What lesson did the accident teach the students and the teacher? A．Never leave a bottle without a label in the Chemistry lab. B．Obey your teacher’s instructions in the Chemistry lab. C．Acrylamide can’t take the place of hydrochloric acid. D．When something unusual happened, leave the lab at once. During the Tang Dynasty(618-907), Emperor Taizong asked the official Feng Deyi to recommend talented (有才能的) people. However, several months passed. Feng didn’t recommend anyone. “I tried my best, but there are no unusual and well-rounded people at all,” Feng said. “People are like containers. What we need to do is to make good use of their strengths. You should feel ashamed of not noticing talented people. How can you say that there are no talented people in our country?” said the emperor. In fact, each tool has a special use. A knife is made to cut things while chopsticks are made to pick up food. We can’t use a knife as a chopstick. Like a tool, each person has his own strength. Nobody is perfect. We can’t expect a person to be good at everything. With this idea in mind, Emperor Taizong discovered many talented people of different backgrounds. He offered them important jobs, which helped them make the most of their talents. The talented people helped the society develop and created a “golden age”. A good example is Ma Zhou, who grew up in a poor family. Ma gave a lot of useful advice, so Emperor Taizong offered him a job and he rose many times. Ma helped the emperor deal with difficult problems and became a well-known person in history. 1．Why couldn’t Feng Deyi find any talented people in Taizong’s opinion? A．He didn’t try his best. B．There were no talented people. C．His standards were wrong. D．He was afraid of losing his job. 2．Ma Zhou is one of those people who ________. A．show talent in the right field B．are rich and useful at first C．know when to take a chance D．have no talent at all 3．What can we know about the talented people Taizong discovered? A．They were promoted (升职) many times. B．They helped the society develop a lot. C．They were offered unimportant positions. D．They were people of the same background. 4．What can we learn from the story? A．Chances only come to those who are well prepared. B．Discover someone’s strength and make good use of it. C．Where there is a will, there is a way. D．Gold will shine everywhere. Many people believe that repairing automobiles (汽车) is a man’s job, but the story of Gu Huijing may change their mind. Gu Huijing, an 18-year-old girl, won the first prize at a competition for automobile repair in Guangdong. Over 33 teams from different cities took part in it, and Gu was the first girl in Guangdong Province to take part in such a competition and win the first prize. She completed the disassembly and assembly of an engine (发动机拆装) in just 26 minutes, breaking the school record. Unlike other girls, Gu was always interested in robots and driverless cars when she was young. But she didn’t perform well in some subjects in junior high school. “I did try my best to study math, but it didn’t work.” Gu said. Clearly knowing she would not get good grades on her gaokao, Gu decided to learn about cars in a vocational school (职业学校) instead of entering senior high. At first, her parents were very surprised and couldn’t accept her decision. After all, vocational schools were not so accepted by public. But Gu finally persuaded (说服) them in her own way. She researched the future development of the auto industry in her city, compared different schools’ running level and asked for advice from seniors. She also promised that she would stick to studying hard. Her parents came to realize that Gu was serious about it and then agreed. Speaking of the future, Gu said she was preparing for the coming exam of a university. “I hope to learn more in the auto industry. If possible, I want to take part in the World Skills Competition. I believe gender (性别) has nothing to do with choosing a job and I’m sure I can make it.” 1．Why did Gu Huijing decide to give up entering senior high? ① She was more interested in robots and driverless cars. ② She realized she would not get good grades in gaokao. ③ She persuaded her parents in her own way. ④ She took part in the World Skills Competition. A．①② B．②③ C．①②③ D．②③④ 2．How did Gu Huijing persuade her parents to accept her decision? A．She performed well in math. B．She won the first prize in the competition. C．She prepared for the exam of a university. D．She made some research and promised to study hard. 3．What is Gu Huijing like according to the passage? A．Serious and friendly. B．Creative and confident. C．Polite and quiet. D．Impatient and direct. 4．We can infer from the passage that ________. A．Gu Huijing didn’t like to study. B．Gu’s parents didn’t understand her. C．people had a stereotype (刻板印象) of gender. D．vocational schools were better than universities. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War (抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利). Many works about this history are being shown, like films, plays and dances. Among them, the movie Dead To Rights has caught a lot of attention. Directed by Shen Ao, the film is based on real photos that show the terrible things Japanese soldiers did during the Nanjing Massacre (大屠杀). The story happened when Japanese soldiers took control of Nanjing. To stay alive, 3 groups of Chinese people couldn’t go anywhere but in a photo studio. To survive, they have to help a Japanese photographer who took many terrible pictures to develop (冲洗). But while doing this, they find something shocking. The photo films have clear proof (证据) of the terrible crimes (罪行) that Japanese made all over the city. The group decides they must let the world know the truth. So they secretly keep the films and try to get them out safely. According to a real story in 1938, the movie describes a 15-year-old boy named Luo Jin, and he worked in Huadong Photo Studio in Nanjing. Brave and clever, he secretly made over 30 copies of photos showing Japanese crimes. He put 16 photos into a book and drew a red heart with blood and the Chinese word “Chi” (which means “shame”) on the book. Later, a young man named Wu Xuan kept the book safe. After eight years, the photos became strong proof of the crimes and were shown to the world. Director Shen Ao said the reason why he made the film is that few people know how these important photos were saved. Dead To Rights is not only a movie, but also helps us remember painful history so that we work harder to make our country stronger. 1．The text talks about the 80th year of two victories. When did they happen? A．In 1935. B．In 1945. C．In 1955. D．In 1965. 2．What is the movie Dead To Rights mainly about? A．A Japanese photographer’s life. B．Making films during a war. C．Saving photo films of Japanese crimes. 3．What did Luo Jin do? A．He made copies of Japanese crime photos. B．He kept a book safe for almost eight years. C．He worked in a photo studio in 1930.

D．To encourage to build a stronger country. On the 9th day of May, 1711, I was left alone on an island I did not know. I saw trees and fields, and soon I found a road with signs of human feet and some of cows and horses. “Similar to England,” I thought, and this reduced my fear. But then I saw some strange animals with long hair and paws. They were dirty and smelly. One of them lifted its fore paw (前爪). I was sure I was in danger and hit it with my sword (剑). It made a loud roaring sound like a lion. Soon I found myself surrounded (包围) by about forty of these animals. I was full of fear. I ran to a tree and leaned my back against it, raising my sword to keep them away. Suddenly, to my surprise, they all ran away as fast as they could. I saw a gray horse walking softly in the field. It seemed strangely curious when it saw me. The horse came very close. It was beautiful and noble (高贵的). I stroked (抚摸) it, but it did not seem to like this. Then something strange happened. Another large horse arrived. The two horses came up close to me, looking carefully upon my face and hands. It seemed that they were “talking” about me. They made horsey sounds as they looked in my direction. In their “conversation”, I repeatedly heard the word “Yahoo”. I did not understand this word, but I tried to communicate with them. I pronounced “Yahoo” in a loud voice. The gray horse seemed really surprised at this. It repeated the word “Yahoo” twice. I spoke after it just like it did. After that, the other horse challenged me with another word “Houyhnhnm”, which was much harder to speak. At first, I didn’t succeed pronouncing it. But after two or three further tries, I got much better at it. Both horses looked really amazed. “If the horses in this land are so smart” I thought, “then the people must be geniuses!” After some further discussion, the two friends showed they wanted to take me somewhere. Then I followed them. We arrived at a large, clean and wooden building. like a house. looked around for some men and women. But to my surprise, there were only horses. Some were standing, some were sitting and the mares were looking after their young in a very gentle way. —Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 1．Which word can best replace the underlined word “geniuses”?

B．How the horses led “me” to the house. C．How “I” killed these strange creatures. D．How “I” communicated with these horses. I grew up in the countryside of Poland. It’s an area where skiing is popular, but my family was poor. I couldn’t afford to ride the ski lift (运送滑雪者的吊椅), so I used to hike up with the skis on my back. It turned out that this was good practice. K2 (乔戈里峰) is nicknamed “savage mountain”. You hear sad stories: For every four people who reach the top of the mountain, one dies. I was too afraid to even think about skiing down it. Even the best mountain climbers thought it impossible. But that changed after a training expedition to Broad Peak. I got a clear look at K2’s massive face, and it encouraged me. Over time, my skills improved and, by 2017, I didn’t feel the fear anymore. I began preparations. Why try such a feat (壮举)? I love nature, and I love setting goals. To be the first to do it just adds to the challenge. Fear is an important part of life, but to ski down K2, I had to stop being afraid. At the base camp, I felt calm and prepared. There were no moods or doubts —I just knew I could do it. But there were challenges. At the third base camp, 7,000 meters up, my safety guy suffered serious back pain. We waited for 36 hours after he got better, and I decided to continue. In total, it took about three days to reach the top. For many climbers, getting to the top of K2 would be the defining moment of their lives. For me, it was where the real challenge began. Skiing down a mountain requires patience and endurance. The most dangerous part was the Messner Traverse. It’s pure ice, up to a 75-degree angle in places, with drops on either side. You need to keep your turns and movements smooth and confident. No one had tried it before, so it was a relief to cross it. In total, going down the mountain took about seven hours. When I finally skied into camp, I simply lay in the snow, tired in both mental and body. I’m so proud of what I achieved. No one thought it could be done. It taught me the value of patience and that nobody else can make your dreams come true. 1．What do we know from the first paragraph? A．Skiing was the national sport of Poland.

Back in 2010, when Meera Chandran visited her homeland, she discovered that her ancestral land was covered with Lantana Camara, a plant that is able to kill native plants and damage (破坏) the ecological (生态的) balance. Meera, then a worker of an IT company and someone who has always been interested in ecology, decided to clean up the 8-acre (8英亩的) land to take the plants away from it. Instead of using the earliest method of buying an earth mover (推土机), she asked some farmers to pull out the plants by hand. “If the seeds of Lantana are covered with sunlight when earth is moved, it would promote (促进) their growth. Also, using an earth mover would damage the natural flora (植物群) of the land,” says Meera. So the land was cleared using the cut root-stock method (截根法), which means cutting the roots 2-3 inches below the earth to control its ability to spread. Next, she turned the land back into a forest area by planting native plants. “The land lies in the eastern part of Western Ghats and after researching what type of plants are included in the area’s natural flora, we planted them,” she says. This was not an easy task. It took three years to clear Lantana away and two more years to plant native plants. Halfway through Meera decided to turn this into an official action and set up Forest First Smith in 2010 to protect native plants and encourage farmers to grow different native plants in farmlands. “We have protected over 150 kinds of native plants of Western Ghats so far. The plants have been planted in an area of more than 300 acres in Kerala’s Wayanad and Karnataka’s Kodagu,” says the protector. But Meera says this is never a single-handed project. All these became a reality with the support from the state forest departments, local communities and like-minded (志同道合的) persons. From 3-5 workers to more than 40 from the communities today, the organization has grown greatly. 1．How did Meera feel when she saw her ancestral land? A．Excited. B．Curious. C．Puzzled. D．Worried. 2．Why didn’t Meera use an earth mover? A．She didn’t consider it to be helpful. B．She didn’t have enough money. C．She wanted to help farmers to make money. D．She wanted to study the natural flora of the land. 3．What did Meera realize when clearing her ancestral land halfway? A．She had used a wrong method. B．She should cut Lantana’s roots completely. C．She should do more for ecology there. D．She had caught the attention of some officials. 4．What does Meera mean by saying “this is never a single-handed project”? A．It is not a short-term project. B．She received a lot of help with her project. C．She faced great difficulties when setting up her project. D．Her project isn’t the only project that protects the environment. What comes to your mind when you think of carpets (地毯)? Thick, soft things on the floor, right? But carpets can also be fine works of art with a special design and display of the traditional Chinese culture of hand-made silk carpets. Look at the picture! Some fish are swimming in a natural circle. In fact, it’s a hand-made silk carpet from Cheng Meihua, the director of the Jinshan Silk Carpet Factory in Shanghai. Cheng Meihua, now in her seventies, became interested in silk carpets half a century ago. As soon as she discovered these carpets, she fell in love with the traditional craft (工艺) of making them. Cheng turned out to be a great craftswoman. Her very first piece of work was perfect. From then on, more beautiful silk carpets came from her hands. Some of them are now in museums. But fully mastering (精通) the craft is not a walk in the park. A world-class silk carpet has thousands of colours. After all these years of hard work, Cheng can hardly close her left hand. Over the years, the factory has trained over 1,000 skilled workers. Their carpets come in all shapes and sizes, and some have creative designs. In the factory’s showroom, there are several beautiful silk carpets. “Behind all this beauty are blood, sweat (汗水) and tears,” Cheng says. “I’ve spent my life perfecting the craft. But it always feels like there’s more to discover!” 1．How does the writer lead into the story of Cheng? A．By telling her stories. B．By asking her some questions. C．By introducing one of her works. D．By giving some information about her. 2．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean? A．It’s not easy to master the craft. B．The craft can be learned in the park. C．Mastering the craft makes people feel relaxed. D．To master the craft, you should walk in the park first. 3．What does Cheng think of the carpet craft in the last paragraph? A．It still needs more people to perfect it. B．It has brought her lots of happiness and success. C．It should be passed down to more young people. D．It requires hard work and there is always more to learn. When the king, the duke and I got to the house, three girls were standing at the door. They were Mary Jane, Susan and Joanna. The girls had big smiles on their faces because they were very happy to see their “uncles”. They hugged the king and the duke. Then the king saw the coffin (棺材) in the corner of the living room. His face became serious and walked slowly over to it. The two frauds looked in the coffin and started crying so loudly that I’m sure the people in New Orleans could all hear them. The girls were crying, too. I felt very bad for them. I wanted to tell them that their ‘uncles’ were frauds but I didn’t say anything. “This is the letter that my uncle wrote before he died,” Mary Jane said and gave it to the king. He opened it and read it aloud. “I leave my house and three thousand dollars in gold to my three nieces. And I leave my other property and three thousand dollars in gold to my brothers, Harvey and William.” The king went down and got the money. When the two frauds saw the pile of gold, their eyes shone as bright as the coins themselves. “Let’s take it upstairs and show it to everybody,” the king said. “We’ll count it in front of them and give the girls their three thousand dollars. We don’t want people to be suspicious (怀疑的).” “I’ve got a better idea,” the duke said. “Let’s give the girls all the gold!” “An excellent idea!” the king said. “And then we’ll find a way of getting it back later.” We went back upstairs to the living room, where everyone was waiting for us. The king made a nice speech. “Friends! Our brother was a good, kind man. He looked after these poor girls when they were left without a mother and a father. I’m sure he wanted to leave them all his money. So, Mary Jane, take it! Take it all!” And he handed the bag to Mary Jane. The women in the room started hugging each other and crying again. The men smiled. Everybody said, “What dear, good men!” and “How kind they are!” ... ——The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 1．Why did the king and the duke give the girls all the gold?

His repeated actions caused the curiosity of his neighbor, William Dunn. “He said he didn’t have a father,” says Dunn, now aged 58.” And I realized that there might be something I could do to help him.” That “something” was fishing, a hobby that Dunn’s father had once shared with him. He did it at once. After fishing together several times, Dunn saw encouraging changes in the boy’s behavior. That was 16 years ago. Since then, Dunn has taken groups of fatherless kids fishing almost every weekend, teaching them how to set up a fishing line and bring in a big catch. “They’ve been through a lot, and their lives have been challenging,” Dunn explains. “But when they’re fishing, all those pains disappear. On the boat, they laugh, smile, and make new friends. I knew I was onto something special.” Jayden, now 23, has become a fisherman and thanks Dunn for helping him grow up. He proudly mentions catching a shark with Dunn’s help, “I hope he knows that I mean it when I say thank you.” Another girl, 21-year-old Bella Smith, who is in a foster (抚养) program for young adults, notes that Dunn pays special attention to self-respect and spiritual strength. “When I’m fishing, I can forget about the past and enjoy something fun,” says Bella Smith. “Fishing has taught me that I can have a better life than what I had. Whenever I feel down, I know it’s time to go fishing.” “There’s nothing like feeling the first pull on the line and seeing a kid’s face light up with a smile,” Dunn adds. “I feel lucky to witness that every weekend.” 1．What do we know about the 8-year-old boy?

In the evening, I went to the landing place. “Dear Father,” I said politely. “Have you found Belinda’s parents yet?” “Not yet, my dear.” He shook his head. I felt relaxed. I didn’t want to meet Belinda’s parents—they might be ten times as loud and bossy as she was. But Belinda had followed me. “Not yet?” she shouted. “Why not? I’ll send them a message! They’ll listen to me!” Belinda ran to the radio. She shouted into it so loudly that I had to cover all my four ears. “Mummy! Daddy! I’m on an awful spaceship full of purple people! Come and find me now!” “Poor Belinda!” my sister came and said. “Her parents must be missing her.” “Huh!” I snorted (发出哼声). “Missing her? You’re joking! Who would want such a bossy kid back? They probably lost her on purpose.” Belinda’s face clouded. I thought she was going to shout again, but she didn’t. Instead, something very strange happened — her eyes began to water! “Oh, help!” said Roa. “Is she dying?” I felt terrible. “Don’t die, Belinda! I didn’t mean it.” Then Belinda opened her mouth wide and shouted, “What if it’s true? What if they’ve gone away and left me here forever?” We were all so busy comforting Belinda that we didn’t notice the soft knock of a ship landing outside. We didn’t see two tall people come out of it until Belinda ran out in excitement. “Mummy! Daddy!” Belinda’s parents were even uglier than she was, but they looked polite. “Hello, dear,” the female said. “We’re sorry we kept you waiting.” We smiled as the three of them boarded their spaceship. “Goodbye!” shouted Belinda. “Goodbye!

Her world has always been silent. Alone in a town in England, she often felt lonely. Then one day in April in 2021, something stopped Moss as she read the local newspaper. It was a photo of a tiny black-and-white cat. A family was looking for a home for their last newborn cat. Moss fell in love with it at first sight and contacted the family. Soon, the cat came to Moss’s house. Moss called the cat Zebby because his colors looked like those of a zebra. Moss once heard of studies showing that pets can help people deal with loneliness. However, she had no idea that Zebby would become her helper and her ears. From their first night together, Zebby has slept next to her. When he hears noises in the dark, he jumps up. “He became my night watch cat,” Moss said. “Sometimes he would run around the room until I woke up.” After several weeks, Moss noticed that whenever her phone rang or someone knocked at the door, Zebby would touch her lightly. It wasn’t long before the cat took on another task: collecting Moss’s mail. Now whenever he hears the mailbox being opened, he runs towards it, carries the mail in his mouth and drops it at Moss’s feet. This past May, Zebby was named Britain’s National Cat of the Year by Cats Protection. According to the largest cat charity, Zebby beat out about 3,000 other cats because of the many ways he makes Moss’s life easier. He has had no training at all, but his natural abilities seem to have told him that his owner needs his help. “Zebby has made my house a home,” Moss said. “I can hardly imagine not having Zebby in my life now.” 1．Why did Moss choose the cat? A．Because she liked it when she saw its photo. B．Because she wished to have a helping ear. C．Because she wanted to help a local family. D．Because she planned to study pet animals. 2．What do the underlined words “beat out” probably mean in Paragraph 5? A．Looked prettier than. B．Was quieter than. C．Felt softer than. D．Did better than. 3．What is the best title for the passage? A．Moss trains Zebby for the prize B．Zebby brings help and joy to Moss C．Moss takes good care of Zebby D．Zebby finds itself a warm home 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文讲述了Moss患有严重的听力损失，她的世界一片寂静，但小猫Zebby的到来，不仅让她不再感到孤单，而且在很多方面让她生活得更轻松。 1．细节理解题。根据“Moss fell in love with it at first sight and contacted the family.”可知，Moss在报纸上看到猫的照片的第一眼就喜欢上它。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Zebby beat out about 3,000 other cats because of the many ways he makes Moss’s life easier”可知，Zebby在很多方面让它的主人Moss生活得更轻松，因此此处指它比3000多只猫都做得要好；“beat out”表示“比……做得更好”。故选D。 3．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了Moss患有严重的听力损失，她的世界一片寂静，但小猫Zebby的到来，不仅让她不再感到孤单，而且在很多方面让她生活得更轻松。结合选项，B选项“Zebby给Moss带来了帮助和快乐”符合文意。故选B。 I’m Henry Adams. When I was 27, I worked in an office in San Francisco. One Saturday afternoon, I sailed my little boat out into the Bay of San Francisco. The strong wind pushed my boat out of the bay and into the Pacific Ocean. Luckily, I was saved by a British ship. The ship was heading to London. I had only one dollar when I arrived in London. I walked around Portland Place, hungry and tired. At that moment, the window of a nearby house opened and a man said to me, “Come in here, please!” I was taken to a nice room. There two old gentlemen were sitting and discussing something. They were brothers. They had been arguing about (争论) a strange subject for several days. One brother said, “If an honest and clever stranger arrives in London without a friend or money, except for a 5,000,000 banknote (钞票), he will die of hunger. If he goes to the bank or anywhere else to change this big note, the police will put him in prison. Everyone will think he stole it.” The other brother answered, “No, I disagree.” The two gentlemen decided to end their argument with a bet. They chose me because I had an honest and clever face and because I was a stranger to England. One of them gave me a little packet and told me not to open it until I was in my hotel room. After leaving the house, I opened the packet and saw that there was money inside. I rushed to the nearest restaurant. After eating, I tried to pay with the money but discovered that it was a banknote worth five million dollars! It made my head swim. No one could possibly cash (兑换现金) it. The owner said, “You can pay for the meal whenever you want, sir. I understand that you are a very rich gentleman. You like playing jokes on people by dressing like a poor man.” I quickly returned to the house but was told that they had left on a trip. Then I remembered the letter inside the packet. It said, “In this packet you’ll find some money. It is yours for only 30 days. At the end of that time, return to this house. We have a bet on you.” How amazing! 1．How did Henry Adams reach London? A．He sailed his little boat to London. B．A strong wind pushed his boat into London. C．A British ship saved and took him to London.

The robin (知更鸟) had followed her. “You showed me where the key was yesterday.” she said. “You should show me the door today.” The robin jumped on to an old climbing plant on the wall, and sang his most beautiful song. Mary always said that what happened almost at that moment was Magic. Mary had stepped close to the robin, and suddenly the wind moved away some thick, heavy ivy vines (常春藤藤蔓), She had seen something under it—a round knob (圆形把手) which had been covered by the leaves hanging over it. It was the knob of the door. She put her hands under the leaves and began to pull and push them away. Mary’s heart began to beat fast and her hands to shake a little in her joy. The robin kept singing and turning his head on one side, as if he were as excited as she was. It was the lock of the door which had been closed ten years and she put her hand in her pocket, drew out the key and found it fitted the keyhole. She put the key in and turned it. It took two hands to do it, but it did turn. And then she took a long breath and looked behind her up the long walk to see if anyone was coming. No one was coming. No one ever did come, it seemed, and she took another long breath, because she could not help it, and she held back the falling ivy and pushed back the door which opened slowly—slowly. Then she slipped through it, and shut it behind her, and stood with her back against it, looking around her and breathing quite fast with excitement, and worry, and joy.

Kai played a guqin (古琴) solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums. The band played faster and faster. Kai’s classmates jumped to their feet, clapping and screaming. When the music ended, there was an awkward (尴尬的) silence. They all looked at the teachers. Mr Li asked, “What were you trying to express?” Kai murmured, “I wanted to do something different...to modernize the guqin’s sound.” “Well, it’s a good try. But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well,” said Mr Li. “The music was...We could hardly hear the guqin,” added Miss Zhou. “I’m afraid I can’t give you high marks.” “Please, can I have another chance?” begged Kai. They finally agreed. Alone in the hall later, Kai sat in his chair, feeling a little sad. “I understand what you were trying to do,” Kai looked up and saw Miss Zhou by his side. “But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.” Kai was puzzled. What did she mean? “The guqin is connected to nature. The bottom board represents the ground, and the rounded top board represents the sky. A wonderful guqin performance shows the harmony (和谐) between people and nature.” “Miss Zhou, is it fine to play the guqin with other instruments (乐器)?” “Because it is so quiet,” replied Miss Zhou, “it’s usually played alone. Sometimes, it can be played with the dizi or another guqin. Every note matters. And you know, there’s Chinese philosophy (哲理) behind every form of art. That’s what makes Chinese art special. We should try hard to keep the value of traditions and connect them with modern life.” “Is it true that Confucius (孔子) played the guqin?” “Exactly. Confucius believed that music was necessary for a well-rounded education. It could help a person develop his inner self.” “Can I make it modern?” Kai was wondering if he had asked a stupid question. “Ancient musicians followed traditions to show respect. To modernize it, try to find the right way to keep the value. How will you change your piece?” “I’m not sure yet,” said Kai. “But I’m going to do something different again.” That night, Kai kept thinking about the next show. “How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern touch?” he wondered. Then, he had an idea... 1．In Kai’s teachers’ eyes, his first performance failed mainly because he didn’t ________. A．play the drums well B．work well with others C．express personal feelings D．show the guqin’s value 2．Why did Miss Zhou mention Confucius when talking with Kai? A．To tell Kai the guqin has a long history. B．To explain the cultural influence of the guqin. C．To advise Kai to learn from ancient musicians. D．To show Confucius was good at playing the guqin. 3．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Miss Zhou gave her advice to Kai.      b. The classmates kept a short silence. c. Kai asked for another chance to play.      d. The teachers pointed out Kai’s problem. e. Kai played the guqin with drum rhythms. A．a-e-d-c-b B．e-b-d-c-a C．e-a-b-d-c D．a-b-d-e-c 4．What lesson has Kai learned from his experience? A．Strict rules will stop our creativity in music. B．Traditional instruments should be modernized. C．Creation requires us to understand the tradition first. D．The guqin is necessary for a well-rounded education. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了凯尝试将古琴与现代节奏结合演奏却未获认可，在老师指导下逐渐领悟传统与创新关系的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据李老师所说“Well, it’s a good try. But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well”以及周老师补充“The music was ...We could hardly hear the guqin”可知，老师们认为凯的演奏未展现出古琴的特色与价值。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据周老师提到孔子后所说“Confucius believed that music was necessary for a well-rounded education. It could help a person develop his inner self.”，结合前文她强调古琴蕴含中国哲理、承载传统价值可知，提及孔子是为了进一步阐释古琴背后的文化价值。故选B。 3．细节理解题。首先，故事开篇即“Kai played a guqin solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums”，对应事件e；接着，演奏结束后“there was an awkward silence”，对应事件b；然后，“Well, it’s a good try. But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well”随后老师们指出凯的问题，对应事件d；之后， 凯请求再一次机会“Please, can I have another chance?”，对应事件c； 最后周老师单独给凯提建议，对应事件a。 正确顺序为e-b-d-c-a。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据周老师对凯说的“But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.”以及“We should try hard to keep the value of traditions and connect them with modern life.”，结合凯后续思考如何平衡古琴的传统精神与现代风格可知，凯领悟到“创新需先理解传统”的道理。故选C。 One Monday morning, Paul and his classmates were in the science laboratory for their Chemistry lesson. The students were going to do an experiment. Before they began, the teacher gave them this description of the different stages of the experiment. Stage 1: Prepare the equipment (器械): a test tube (试管), a crucible (坩埚), a Bunsen burner (煤气灯) and a pair of tongs (钳子). Stage 2: Weigh 5 grams of baking soda and put it in a crucible. Stage 3: Heat 10 ml of hydrochloric acid (盐酸) in a test tube. Stage 4: Pour the warm acid onto the baking soda and continue to heat the mixture. Result: The acid reacts (反应) with NaHCO₃ to form water and CO₂. The hotter the mixture, the quicker the reaction. Continue to heat the mixture until the water evaporates (蒸发), leaving the salt in the crucible. Paul and his partner followed the instructions and set up their equipment. Paul went to the cupboard to get a bottle of hydrochloric acid. He found that there was only one bottle in the cupboard, so he took that. There was no label (标签) on the bottle and Paul didn’t check with the teacher if it was the right solution (溶液). He measured (量) the liquid (液体) and poured it into a test tube. Using tongs to hold the test tube, he heated it over the Bunsen burner. That’s when things started to go wrong. The liquid in the test tube was not hydrochloric acid. When it was heated, it formed a thick cloud of white gas. Soon the room was full of this strong-smelling white gas. All the students started coughing and their eyes hurt. The teacher opened the windows right away and ordered the students to leave the laboratory at once. She realized that the liquid was acrylamide (丙烯酰胺) and that it is poisonous (有毒的). Luckily, nobody was hurt in the accident. However, it taught the students and the teacher a good lesson. 1．The teacher and her students planned to make ________ in the experiment. A．water B．salt C．acrylamide D．CO₂ 2．What happened when Paul heated the liquid? A．His teacher ordered him to stop it at once. B．The white poisonous gas was formed. C．All the students left the lab at once. D．Someone was hurt in the accident. 3．What lesson did the accident teach the students and the teacher? A．Never leave a bottle without a label in the Chemistry lab. B．Obey your teacher’s instructions in the Chemistry lab. C．Acrylamide can’t take the place of hydrochloric acid. D．When something unusual happened, leave the lab at once. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了保罗和同学在化学实验课上，因未检查试剂瓶标签，误将有毒的丙烯酰胺当作盐酸加热，导致有毒气体扩散，所幸无人受伤。这一事故给师生们上了一堂深刻的安全教育课。 1．细节理解题。根据“Result: The acid reacts (反应) with NaHCO₃ to form water and CO₂. The hotter the mixture, the quicker the reaction. Continue to heat the mixture until the water evaporates (蒸发), leaving the salt in the crucible.”可知，实验的最终结果是得到盐。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“When it was heated, it formed a thick cloud of white gas. Soon the room was full of this strong-smelling white gas.”以及“She realized that the liquid was acrylamide (丙烯酰胺) and that it is poisonous (有毒的).”可知，保罗加热液体后，产生了有毒的白色气体。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“There was no label (标签) on the bottle and Paul didn’t check with the teacher if it was the right solution (溶液).”以及“Luckily, nobody was hurt in the accident. However, it taught the students and the teacher a good lesson.”可知，事故的原因是保罗做实验时误拿了无标签的丙烯酰胺，导致实验失败并产生危险。因此事故给师生们的教训是：化学实验室里不能留有没贴标签的瓶子。故选A。 During the Tang Dynasty(618-907), Emperor Taizong asked the official Feng Deyi to recommend talented (有才能的) people. However, several months passed. Feng didn’t recommend anyone. “I tried my best, but there are no unusual and well-rounded people at all,” Feng said. “People are like containers. What we need to do is to make good use of their strengths. You should feel ashamed of not noticing talented people. How can you say that there are no talented people in our country?” said the emperor. In fact, each tool has a special use. A knife is made to cut things while chopsticks are made to pick up food. We can’t use a knife as a chopstick. Like a tool, each person has his own strength. Nobody is perfect. We can’t expect a person to be good at everything. With this idea in mind, Emperor Taizong discovered many talented people of different backgrounds. He offered them important jobs, which helped them make the most of their talents. The talented people helped the society develop and created a “golden age”. A good example is Ma Zhou, who grew up in a poor family. Ma gave a lot of useful advice, so Emperor Taizong offered him a job and he rose many times. Ma helped the emperor deal with difficult problems and became a well-known person in history. 1．Why couldn’t Feng Deyi find any talented people in Taizong’s opinion? A．He didn’t try his best. B．There were no talented people. C．His standards were wrong. D．He was afraid of losing his job. 2．Ma Zhou is one of those people who ________. A．show talent in the right field B．are rich and useful at first C．know when to take a chance D．have no talent at all 3．What can we know about the talented people Taizong discovered? A．They were promoted (升职) many times. B．They helped the society develop a lot. C．They were offered unimportant positions. D．They were people of the same background. 4．What can we learn from the story? A．Chances only come to those who are well prepared. B．Discover someone’s strength and make good use of it. C．Where there is a will, there is a way. D．Gold will shine everywhere. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，通过讲述唐太宗与封德彝关于“发现人才”的对话，以及马周被重用的事例，说明每个人都有独特的长处，关键在于发现并善加利用，从而推动社会发展。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第二段唐太宗的话“People are like containers.

Gu Huijing, an 18-year-old girl, won the first prize at a competition for automobile repair in Guangdong. Over 33 teams from different cities took part in it, and Gu was the first girl in Guangdong Province to take part in such a competition and win the first prize. She completed the disassembly and assembly of an engine (发动机拆装) in just 26 minutes, breaking the school record. Unlike other girls, Gu was always interested in robots and driverless cars when she was young. But she didn’t perform well in some subjects in junior high school. “I did try my best to study math, but it didn’t work.” Gu said. Clearly knowing she would not get good grades on her gaokao, Gu decided to learn about cars in a vocational school (职业学校) instead of entering senior high. At first, her parents were very surprised and couldn’t accept her decision. After all, vocational schools were not so accepted by public. But Gu finally persuaded (说服) them in her own way. She researched the future development of the auto industry in her city, compared different schools’ running level and asked for advice from seniors. She also promised that she would stick to studying hard. Her parents came to realize that Gu was serious about it and then agreed. Speaking of the future, Gu said she was preparing for the coming exam of a university. “I hope to learn more in the auto industry. If possible, I want to take part in the World Skills Competition.

I believe gender (性别) has nothing to do with choosing a job and I’m sure I can make it.”可知，顾慧静相信性别与选择工作无关，并且相信自己能做到，由此可推出她是一个很有创造力并且很自信的人。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“Many people believe that repairing automobiles (汽车) is a man’s job”可知，很多人认为修理汽车是男人的工作，由此可推出人们对性别有刻板印象。故选C。 This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War (抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利). Many works about this history are being shown, like films, plays and dances. Among them, the movie Dead To Rights has caught a lot of attention. Directed by Shen Ao, the film is based on real photos that show the terrible things Japanese soldiers did during the Nanjing Massacre (大屠杀). The story happened when Japanese soldiers took control of Nanjing. To stay alive, 3 groups of Chinese people couldn’t go anywhere but in a photo studio. To survive, they have to help a Japanese photographer who took many terrible pictures to develop (冲洗). But while doing this, they find something shocking. The photo films have clear proof (证据) of the terrible crimes (罪行) that Japanese made all over the city. The group decides they must let the world know the truth. So they secretly keep the films and try to get them out safely. According to a real story in 1938, the movie describes a 15-year-old boy named Luo Jin, and he worked in Huadong Photo Studio in Nanjing. Brave and clever, he secretly made over 30 copies of photos showing Japanese crimes. He put 16 photos into a book and drew a red heart with blood and the Chinese word “Chi” (which means “shame”) on the book. Later, a young man named Wu Xuan kept the book safe. After eight years, the photos became strong proof of the crimes and were shown to the world. Director Shen Ao said the reason why he made the film is that few people know how these important photos were saved. Dead To Rights is not only a movie, but also helps us remember painful history so that we work harder to make our country stronger. 1．The text talks about the 80th year of two victories.

So they secretly keep the films and try to get them out safely”及后文罗金复制照片的细节可知，电影核心是拯救记录日军罪行的照片胶片。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Brave and clever, he secretly made over 30 copies of photos showing Japanese crimes.”可知，罗瑾复制了展示日本罪行的照片。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“Director Shen Ao said the reason why he made the film is that few people know how these important photos were saved”及“helps us remember painful history so that we work harder to make our country stronger”可知，电影的目的是铭记历史、揭露真相、激励爱国，未提及国际获奖。故选A。 On the 9th day of May, 1711, I was left alone on an island I did not know. I saw trees and fields, and soon I found a road with signs of human feet and some of cows and horses. “Similar to England,” I thought, and this reduced my fear. But then I saw some strange animals with long hair and paws. They were dirty and smelly. One of them lifted its fore paw (前爪). I was sure I was in danger and hit it with my sword (剑). It made a loud roaring sound like a lion. Soon I found myself surrounded (包围) by about forty of these animals. I was full of fear. I ran to a tree and leaned my back against it, raising my sword to keep them away. Suddenly, to my surprise, they all ran away as fast as they could. I saw a gray horse walking softly in the field. It seemed strangely curious when it saw me. The horse came very close. It was beautiful and noble (高贵的). I stroked (抚摸) it, but it did not seem to like this. Then something strange happened. Another large horse arrived. The two horses came up close to me, looking carefully upon my face and hands. It seemed that they were “talking” about me. They made horsey sounds as they looked in my direction. In their “conversation”, I repeatedly heard the word “Yahoo”. I did not understand this word, but I tried to communicate with them. I pronounced “Yahoo” in a loud voice. The gray horse seemed really surprised at this. It repeated the word “Yahoo” twice. I spoke after it just like it did. After that, the other horse challenged me with another word “Houyhnhnm”, which was much harder to speak. At first, I didn’t succeed pronouncing it. But after two or three further tries, I got much better at it. Both horses looked really amazed. “If the horses in this land are so smart” I thought, “then the people must be geniuses!” After some further discussion, the two friends showed they wanted to take me somewhere. Then I followed them. We arrived at a large, clean and wooden building. like a house. looked around for some men and women. But to my surprise, there were only horses. Some were standing, some were sitting and the mares were looking after their young in a very gentle way. —Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels 1．Which word can best replace the underlined word “geniuses”?

It’s an area where skiing is popular, but my family was poor. I couldn’t afford to ride the ski lift (运送滑雪者的吊椅), so I used to hike up with the skis on my back. It turned out that this was good practice. K2 (乔戈里峰) is nicknamed “savage mountain”. You hear sad stories: For every four people who reach the top of the mountain, one dies. I was too afraid to even think about skiing down it. Even the best mountain climbers thought it impossible. But that changed after a training expedition to Broad Peak. I got a clear look at K2’s massive face, and it encouraged me. Over time, my skills improved and, by 2017, I didn’t feel the fear anymore. I began preparations. Why try such a feat (壮举)? I love nature, and I love setting goals. To be the first to do it just adds to the challenge. Fear is an important part of life, but to ski down K2, I had to stop being afraid. At the base camp, I felt calm and prepared. There were no moods or doubts —I just knew I could do it. But there were challenges. At the third base camp, 7,000 meters up, my safety guy suffered serious back pain. We waited for 36 hours after he got better, and I decided to continue. In total, it took about three days to reach the top. For many climbers, getting to the top of K2 would be the defining moment of their lives. For me, it was where the real challenge began. Skiing down a mountain requires patience and endurance. The most dangerous part was the Messner Traverse. It’s pure ice, up to a 75-degree angle in places, with drops on either side. You need to keep your turns and movements smooth and confident. No one had tried it before, so it was a relief to cross it. In total, going down the mountain took about seven hours. When I finally skied into camp, I simply lay in the snow, tired in both mental and body. I’m so proud of what I achieved. No one thought it could be done. It taught me the value of patience and that nobody else can make your dreams come true. 1．What do we know from the first paragraph? A．Skiing was the national sport of Poland. B．The writer had a strong will to ski. C．The writer was born into a family of skiers. D．The writer’s family provided him with good skiing practice. 2．What was the most important factor in challenging K2 according to the writer? A．Modern equipment. B．Skilled safety guards. C．Some main knowledge of K2. D．A positive opinion without fear. 3．What did the writer learn from his experience? A．We should always have self-confidence. B．Support is needed to realize dreams. C．It takes patience and effort to succeed. D．One should always dream big. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者自己从乔戈里峰滑雪的经历。 1．推理判断题。根据“I couldn’t afford to ride the ski lift, so I used to hike up with the skis on my back.”可知，作者虽然买不起运送滑雪者的吊椅，但他直接背着滑雪板爬上去，推断出作者有强烈的滑雪意志。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“Fear is an important part of life, but to ski down K2, I had to stop being afraid.”可知，作者认为恐惧是生活中很重要的一部分，但为了滑下乔戈里峰，就必须停止恐惧。所以挑战K2的最重要因素就是要具有不恐惧的积极观点。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“It taught me the value of patience and that nobody else can make your dreams come true.”可知，挑战K2这件事教会了作者耐心的价值，没有其他人能让自己的梦想成真。故选C。 Back in 2010, when Meera Chandran visited her homeland, she discovered that her ancestral land was covered with Lantana Camara, a plant that is able to kill native plants and damage (破坏) the ecological (生态的) balance. Meera, then a worker of an IT company and someone who has always been interested in ecology, decided to clean up the 8-acre (8英亩的) land to take the plants away from it. Instead of using the earliest method of buying an earth mover (推土机), she asked some farmers to pull out the plants by hand. “If the seeds of Lantana are covered with sunlight when earth is moved, it would promote (促进) their growth. Also, using an earth mover would damage the natural flora (植物群) of the land,” says Meera. So the land was cleared using the cut root-stock method (截根法), which means cutting the roots 2-3 inches below the earth to control its ability to spread. Next, she turned the land back into a forest area by planting native plants. “The land lies in the eastern part of Western Ghats and after researching what type of plants are included in the area’s natural flora, we planted them,” she says. This was not an easy task. It took three years to clear Lantana away and two more years to plant native plants. Halfway through Meera decided to turn this into an official action and set up Forest First Smith in 2010 to protect native plants and encourage farmers to grow different native plants in farmlands. “We have protected over 150 kinds of native plants of Western Ghats so far. The plants have been planted in an area of more than 300 acres in Kerala’s Wayanad and Karnataka’s Kodagu,” says the protector. But Meera says this is never a single-handed project. All these became a reality with the support from the state forest departments, local communities and like-minded (志同道合的) persons. From 3-5 workers to more than 40 from the communities today, the organization has grown greatly. 1．How did Meera feel when she saw her ancestral land? A．Excited. B．Curious. C．Puzzled. D．Worried. 2．Why didn’t Meera use an earth mover? A．She didn’t consider it to be helpful. B．She didn’t have enough money. C．She wanted to help farmers to make money. D．She wanted to study the natural flora of the land. 3．What did Meera realize when clearing her ancestral land halfway? A．She had used a wrong method. B．She should cut Lantana’s roots completely. C．She should do more for ecology there. D．She had caught the attention of some officials. 4．What does Meera mean by saying “this is never a single-handed project”? A．It is not a short-term project. B．She received a lot of help with her project. C．She faced great difficulties when setting up her project. D．Her project isn’t the only project that protects the environment. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文主要讲述Meera发现祖先的土地被入侵植物Lantana Camara覆盖后，决定采用手动拔除的方式来保护当地原生植物，随后又成立组织推动更广泛的生态恢复与保护。 1．推理判断题。根据“she discovered that her ancestral land was covered with Lantana Camara, a plant that is able to kill native plants and damage (破坏) the ecological (生态的) balance.”可知，Meera回到家乡发现祖先的土地被有害入侵植物Lantana Camara覆盖，会对生态平衡造成破坏，因此她的情绪应是担忧。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“If the seeds of Lantana are covered with sunlight when earth is moved, it would promote (促进) their growth. Also, using an earth mover would damage the natural flora (植物群) of the land,”可知，推土机会将种子暴露于阳光下，反而促进Lantana Camara的生长，并破坏土地上的自然植被，因此她认为推土机并不利于根除这种植物。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“Halfway through Meera decided to turn this into an official action and set up Forest First Smith in 2010 to protect native plants and encourage farmers to grow different native plants in farmlands.”可知，在清理土地的过程中，Meera决定将这一行动正式化，成立环保组织，推动生态保护，这表明她意识到自己应该为当地生态做更多工作，而不仅仅是清除有害植物。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据划线句子后文“All these became a reality with the support from the state forest departments, local communities and like-minded (志同道合的) persons.”可知，“this is never a single-handed project”指出这个项目得到了来自政府、当地社区和其他志同道合人士的大力支持，因此并非Meera 一个人单独完成。故选B。 What comes to your mind when you think of carpets (地毯)? Thick, soft things on the floor, right? But carpets can also be fine works of art with a special design and display of the traditional Chinese culture of hand-made silk carpets. Look at the picture! Some fish are swimming in a natural circle. In fact, it’s a hand-made silk carpet from Cheng Meihua, the director of the Jinshan Silk Carpet Factory in Shanghai. Cheng Meihua, now in her seventies, became interested in silk carpets half a century ago. As soon as she discovered these carpets, she fell in love with the traditional craft (工艺) of making them. Cheng turned out to be a great craftswoman. Her very first piece of work was perfect. From then on, more beautiful silk carpets came from her hands. Some of them are now in museums. But fully mastering (精通) the craft is not a walk in the park. A world-class silk carpet has thousands of colours. After all these years of hard work, Cheng can hardly close her left hand. Over the years, the factory has trained over 1,000 skilled workers. Their carpets come in all shapes and sizes, and some have creative designs. In the factory’s showroom, there are several beautiful silk carpets. “Behind all this beauty are blood, sweat (汗水) and tears,” Cheng says. “I’ve spent my life perfecting the craft. But it always feels like there’s more to discover!” 1．How does the writer lead into the story of Cheng? A．By telling her stories. B．By asking her some questions. C．By introducing one of her works. D．By giving some information about her. 2．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean? A．It’s not easy to master the craft. B．The craft can be learned in the park.

They were Mary Jane, Susan and Joanna. The girls had big smiles on their faces because they were very happy to see their “uncles”. They hugged the king and the duke. Then the king saw the coffin (棺材) in the corner of the living room. His face became serious and walked slowly over to it. The two frauds looked in the coffin and started crying so loudly that I’m sure the people in New Orleans could all hear them. The girls were crying, too. I felt very bad for them. I wanted to tell them that their ‘uncles’ were frauds but I didn’t say anything. “This is the letter that my uncle wrote before he died,” Mary Jane said and gave it to the king. He opened it and read it aloud. “I leave my house and three thousand dollars in gold to my three nieces. And I leave my other property and three thousand dollars in gold to my brothers, Harvey and William.” The king went down and got the money. When the two frauds saw the pile of gold, their eyes shone as bright as the coins themselves. “Let’s take it upstairs and show it to everybody,” the king said. “We’ll count it in front of them and give the girls their three thousand dollars. We don’t want people to be suspicious (怀疑的).” “I’ve got a better idea,” the duke said. “Let’s give the girls all the gold!” “An excellent idea!” the king said. “And then we’ll find a way of getting it back later.” We went back upstairs to the living room, where everyone was waiting for us. The king made a nice speech. “Friends! Our brother was a good, kind man. He looked after these poor girls when they were left without a mother and a father. I’m sure he wanted to leave them all his money. So, Mary Jane, take it! Take it all!” And he handed the bag to Mary Jane. The women in the room started hugging each other and crying again. The men smiled. Everybody said, “What dear, good men!” and “How kind they are!” ... ——The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 1．Why did the king and the duke give the girls all the gold?
