I never thought that Mom had done much about them behind the scenes (在幕后), until she shared her secret with me. One day last November, Mom and I spent a whole morning planting flower bulbs. I dropped one in each hole and covered it over with soil. My fingers were numb (麻木的) by the time we finished. However, the ground looked just as flower bulb empty and flat as it had been before. Then Mom told me to wait. I didn’t only wait—I watched. I watched hopefully all through the winter... On the last day of April, I went outside to find the garden full of colorful flowers. Our hard work paid off. “My boy, tomorrow morning,” Mom said, “we will walk the neighborhood and leave a basket of flowers on each doorstep.” “What?” I almost cried. “Are we selling our flowers?” “Of course not,” she said excitedly. “In fact, nobody will even know they’re from us. We’ll leave them at our neighbors’ as a surprise. Doesn’t that sound fun?” “To me, it doesn’t sound fun at all” I replied unwillingly. “They’re our flowers. We should keep them for ourselves!” “Flowers are like kindness,” Mom said. “Their beauty is meant to be shared.” Early the next morning, Mom woke me up. We brought the baskets and stopped near the first house. I took one basket, set it by the doorstep and rang the bell. Then we quickly ran away, ducked behind the trees and waited. Finally, the door opened. A man came out, looking surprised. He picked up the flower basket and then smiled. Mom hugged me. I got a good feeling inside. Now I knew what she meant about beauty sharing. I couldn’t wait to get to the next house. By the time we got home, I was grinning (咧着嘴笑) from ear to ear. The garden was empty, but my heart was full. 1．How did the writer feel when he watched the garden during the winter? A．Empty. B．Excited. C．Hopeful. D．Bored. 2．What happened to the baskets of flowers in the end? A．They were sold for pocket money. B．They were given to the neighbors. C．They were collected for recycling. D．They were put up on a flower show. 3．What made the writer’s heart full? A．The joy of spreading kindness. B．The excitement of growing flowers. C．The honor of helping people in need. D．The happiness of getting close to nature. 中考模拟真题练习 Grandpa and Me As my summer vacation drew nearer and nearer, I made a long list of things I wished to do and could hardly wait to begin a brand-new journey. However, when my mom told me that I had to live with my grandfather for six weeks, I complained. A voice inside me said that it would be miserable to live with my grandpa, which meant no afternoon baseball games with my neighborhood friends. The first week with Grandpa was fine. We went out for dinner and watched TV together. One day, Grandpa was sitting at the table reading the newspaper. I sat on the couch and flipped (快速翻动) through my baseball card collection. “Wish I had a Hank Aaron card,” I said to myself. When Grandpa heard me, he said in surprise, “I didn’t know you liked baseball, Susan.” I explained that it was my favorite sport and I usually played it all summer with my friends. Grandpa stood up shakily and walked to the door. “Let’s go,” he said, with excitement. “I want to show you something.” We drove for quite a while, and when Grandpa finally stopped the car, we were in front of some old houses. A sign on each house said “Land Will Be Sold. Call For Details.” I noticed that Grandpa had a faraway look in his eyes. “I haven’t been here for decades,” he whispered. “Probably twenty or thirty years.” We walked there and he pointed down the street and said, “That’s the field where I used to play baseball every summer.” Then I realized where we were: This was the house where Grandpa grew up! We looked inside a window and saw a big mess. No one had lived here for a long time. On the ride home, Grandpa was very quiet. I thought about how he must miss his old home and the friends he grew up with. If he could just go back in time for a few minutes, he would feel very happy and less lonely. Then I realized that six weeks away from home was not too bad, especially with Grandpa around. 1．Why did the writer complain about her coming vacation? A．Because she could not play baseball games with friends. B．Because she could not enjoy her baseball card collection. C．Because she would go out for dinner with her grandfather. D．Because she would leave her home and live in an old house. 2．How did Grandpa feel when he heard Susan liked baseball? A．Hopeful and thankful. B．Confused and upset. C．Worried and unhappy. D．Surprised and excited. 3．What might Susan most probably do after visiting the old house? A．Listening to Grandpa’s life story in the past. B．Sharing her baseball cards with her schoolmates. C．Complaining about her boring vacation to her mom. D．Cleaning the old house with her neighborhood friends. Sarah loved the beautiful music box on her grandmother’s table. It was small, old, and played a sweet song. One afternoon, while her grandmother was sleeping, Sarah decided to take a closer look. She carefully picked it up. But her hands were slippery, and the music box fell. A small piece of it broke off. Sarah’s heart beat fast. She felt scared and very sorry. Her grandmother loved that music box very much. Quickly, Sarah put the broken piece in her pocket and placed the music box back on the table. She hoped her grandmother wouldn’t notice. For the next few days, Sarah felt terrible. She couldn’t eat well and didn’t want to talk to anyone. She was afraid her grandmother would find out the truth and be angry with her. Every time her grandmother looked at her, Sarah’s fear grew. One evening, her grandmother asked, “Sarah, are you okay? You seem quiet these days.” Sarah’s face turned red. She wanted to tell the truth, but the words were stuck in her throat. She just nodded and ran to her room. The next day, Sarah saw her grandmother trying to fix the music box with glue. Her grandmother looked sad and confused. “I wonder how this happened,” she said softly to herself. Seeing her grandmother’s sadness, Sarah knew she had to make a choice. She took a deep breath, walked into the room, and told her grandmother everything. “I’m so sorry, Grandma. I broke your music box. I was scared to tell you,” she said, crying. Her grandmother listened quietly. Then, she hugged Sarah and said, “Thank you for telling me the truth. The music box is just a thing. It can be fixed. But your honesty is the most important thing to me. I’m not angry that it’s broken; I was sad because you were so unhappy and didn’t trust me enough to tell me.” Sarah felt a heavy weight lift from her heart. She learned that telling the truth, though difficult at first, always makes things better in the end. 1．How did Sarah feel after she broke the music box? A．Excited and proud. B．Scared and sorry. C．Surprised and happy. D．Bored and tired. 2．What did Sarah do in the end? A．She hid the broken piece forever. B．She asked her parents to fix the music box. C．She told her grandmother the truth. D．She bought a new music box for her grandmother. 3．What is the main lesson Sarah learned from this experience? A．It is important to be careful with old things. B．Grandmothers are always kind and understanding. C．Honesty and trust are more valuable than hiding a mistake. D．Broken things can always be fixed with glue. Do you always say “thank you” when someone does you a favor, big or small? How do you feel when others show no response (回应) to your kindness? I’ve been thinking about writing this for years, but always worried it would sound like the thoughts of an old crank (古怪的人). Then, a few weeks ago, I had an epiphany (顿悟). I was at the grocery store, heading for the only open cashier at the same time as an older woman with a full cart. I gestured (做了个手势) for her to go first, but she insisted I go ahead since I had only one item. We went back and forth until she playfully stomped (跺) her foot and let me go first. I thanked her, and we started chatting about the weather and our favorite grocery store. We wished each other a nice day, and I left smiling. The epiphany? Well, it’s simple really. The lady had unselfishly let me go first and I had thanked her, and that common courtesy (礼貌) led to a lovely conversation with a stranger. That connection brightened my day as, I think, it did hers. The world felt a little kinder in that moment. And then I took the difficult drive home on narrow streets where cars have to take turns to pass. Ideally, drivers would wave thanks to each other, but that day, no one did. Sadly, this seems to be the norm now. Thanking someone is the right thing to do. It rewards kindness and encourages more of it. It also makes you feel good, recognizing someone’s effort to help you. This can make you think about how your actions affect others, even strangers. On a social level, it shows that our community thrives (兴旺) when we help each other and act kindly. These small moments of connection lift us all. So next time someone lets you go first in traffic or holds a door open for you, take a moment to look them in the eye, smile and say “thank you”. You’ll both walk away feeling happier. 1．Why did the old woman let the writer go first? A．The writer was in a hurry. B．The writer was her friend. C．The writer gestured to her. D．The writer had only one item. 2．What happened to the drivers on the narrow street? A．They greeted each other warmly. B．They had no polite communication. C．They argued loudly with each other. D．They waved thanks to each other. 3．What was the writer’s “epiphany”? A．Small acts of kindness can connect people. B．People are more likely to be kind in grocery stores. C．Being polite to others is not as important as we think. D．Narrow streets often make it difficult for people to communicate. Ava was a quiet girl who often felt less important than her more sociable classmates, and this made her feel a bit uncomfortable in social situations. She really wanted to fit in and be accepted by her classmates. One day, Ava found an old book full of stories about self-acceptance. Reading it, she felt deeply inspired and decided to start a journey of self-discovery. She learned that her true strength (力量) lay in being true to herself, not in trying to fit in. With newfound courage, Ava started to express herself without fear of judgment. She discovered her love for writing and began sharing her stories and poems with others. Although some students made fun of her, many others were moved by her honesty and creativity. Ava’s true voice began to resonate (引起共鸣) with a few like-minded students. Those students began to reach out to her. They supported each other’s dreams and hopes. As time went by, Ava’s confidence continued to grow. She noticed that her honesty was inspiring other students to accept their own unique (独特的) qualities and talents, making the whole school a more welcoming and inclusive (包容的) place. One day, the school’s head teacher noticed the positive changes taking place among the students. He was pleased with Ava’s bravery and invited her to give a speech on the importance of being true to oneself. Standing on the stage in front of the whole school, Ava shared her journey of self-discovery. She talked about the power of being oneself and encouraged others to accept and value what made them different. Her words connected with many students, helping them develop a stronger sense of self-acceptance. For Ava, being true to herself meant learning to accept herself. By doing so, she helped create a more supportive world where everyone can grow. 1．How did Ava feel in social situations at the beginning? A．Uncomfortable. B．Confident. C．Uninterested. D．Pleased. 2．With newfound courage, how did Ava express herself? A．By keeping a diary about her feelings. B．By starting a club to discuss the old book. C．By joining more social activities at school.

She loved watching stars every evening—lying on the grass with a telescope (望远镜), dreaming about faraway planets. One night, a bright light flew across the sky and crashed into the nearby forest. Her heart beat fast, full of excitement and a little fear. She picked up a flashlight, put on her shoes, and hurried into the forest to check it out. There, in a clear part of the forest, was a small, shining spaceship. A strange little boy walked out—with silver skin, big kind eyes, and a body that glowed softly (微微发光). “I’m Kael from planet Nova,” he said in a calm voice. “My ship’s energy system is broken. I need to fix it to go home, but I don’t know Earth’s machines.” Lila felt sorry for him. She was good at science and often helped her dad mend old things. “I can try to help you,” she said. They took parts from old radios and batteries in her grandma’s house. For three days, they worked together. Lila taught Kael about basic tools and electricity, while Kael shared stories of his planet’s green forests and kind people. Lila and Kael faced many problems when they repaired the spaceship, but they didn’t give up. “Mistakes help us learn,” she told Kael. They adjusted (调整) the connections and tested again and again. On the third night, the machine finally worked. Kael’s face lit up with joy. Before leaving, he gave Lila a small shining stone. “This is a sign of friendship,” he said. “Your kindness taught me that love and courage are the same all over the universe.” As Kael left, Lila held the stone tight. She learned that differences don’t stop us from being friends—with an open heart and a wish to help, we can build bridges even between stars. This experience made her more confident and eager to learn about the world. 1．Lila felt ________ when she saw a bright light shoot across the sky. A．excited and frightened B．worried and nervous C．relaxed and confident D．bored and angry 2．Why did Kael come to Earth? A．He wanted to learn about Earth’s technology. B．His spacecraft’s energy system broke down. C．He planned to visit Lila’s grandma’s house. D．He needed to find a glowing stone for his planet. 3．Lila learned ________ according to the passage. A．the universe is too huge for men to make a difference B．technology can solve any problem between different beings C．kindness and courage can bridge even the widest differences D．friendship with aliens is more valuable than human relationships The Silent Language of Paper Li Wei planned to hang out with friends during the summer vacation. However, his parents told him to spend every afternoon with his grandmother learning paper-cutting. This made him upset. “It’s an old-fashioned craft (手工艺). What’s the point?” he said angrily. But his father insisted, “Grandmother’s skills are a treasure. This is important.” The first few days were really frustrating (令人沮丧的). No matter how hard Li Wei tried, he couldn’t control his fingers properly. His cuts were messy, nothing like grandmother’s, which were always sharp and formed beautiful designs of flowers and animals. He found it a boring task. One afternoon, grandmother didn’t bring any pattern (图案). Instead, she placed a blank red paper in front of him. “Today,” she said softly, “cut out what is in your heart.” Li Wei was confused. He thought for a moment, then decided to cut out a simple basketball—the symbol of his favourite sport. To his surprise, grandmother smiled warmly. “Good! You see, paper-cutting is not just about copying old patterns. It’s a language. Our ancestors (祖先) used it to tell their stories. Now, you are telling yours.” Li Wei felt a sudden excitement. It wasn’t about being perfect at an old art; it was about adding his own voice to it. He practiced with new interest. He started creating designs that mixed traditional symbols with things from his own life—a panda with a basketball and the school building next to a lucky character “Fu”. When his class had an international culture fair, Li Wei didn’t just display grandmother’s perfect traditional cuts. He proudly showed his own modern creations. He explained to his curious classmates, and even to the visiting exchange students, how this art was evolving (演变). He was no longer just a learner; he felt like a keeper of the tradition. Li Wei finally understood his father’s words. The real treasure wasn’t just the paper-cuts themselves, but the silent language they carried—a language that he could now speak, and more importantly, one he could help write for the future. 1．How did Li Wei feel about learning paper-cutting at first? A．Surprised. B．Proud. C．Curious. D．Upset. 2．What made Li Wei practice paper-cutting with new interest? A．Watching grandmother make paper-cuts. B．Attending the international culture fair. C．Creating designs to express himself. D．Copying the old perfect patterns. 3．What did Li Wei finally realize? A．Traditional art stays alive with new ideas. B．Traditional art should remain unchanged. C．Learning traditional art skills is very hard. D．Paper-cutting is a symbol of traditional art. When I arrived at the Sign Language Center for my first American Sign Language (ASL) class, a man took one look at me and held up some fingers. One? Two? I put up one finger, and he directed me to the Level 1 class. Class time was strictly “voices off” to encourage immersive (沉浸式的) learning and to show respect to the deaf teachers. Without the power of speech, all my classmates and I could do was smile and nod at one another as we took in the new vocabulary. As a writer, I pride myself on a certain talent for language. I was taught that there’s a perfect mix of words that can most exactly communicate any thought. With ASL, I expected to feel similarly, and thought fluency would come after I collected enough signs. The first thing we learn in ASL class is the alphabet. As my classmates and I used ASL to ask and answer questions, we came across words without matching signs and could only spell them with difficulty. That was the main experience of our first weeks learning ASL. It was embarrassing (尴尬的): Seeing a dozen politely smiling faces watching me as I slowly spelled, misspelled and restarted spelling words—often many times—was its own kind of suffering. Over time, I picked up on new ways, like waving a hand or stomping on the ground to get someone’s attention. My fingers stopped as they reached for new shapes, and I struggled to differentiate very similar looking signs. Eventually I realized that when you’re communicating in sign language, diction (措词) is not as important as the way you express what you’re communicating. I once asked a teacher how to sign the word “desperate (渴望的)”. “ASL doesn’t have a direct translation of every English word,” he told me. “If you want to sign ‘desperate’, you might just sign the word ‘want’, but with the proper facial and body posturing to show your desperation. It doesn’t make sense to sign ‘frustrated’ if your face doesn’t look frustrated at all, ” he added—it’s like speaking in a calm voice and showing no facial expressions while you’re angry. I’ve been attending ASL classes for almost two years. At the beginning, my reason was common: a childhood curiosity with “secret languages”. While ASL may not completely share a vocabulary with English, that doesn’t mean it lacks precision (精确). Its precision, I’ve learned, lies in the common language of the body. 1．How did the writer and her classmates communicate in the first ASL class? A．They spelled the words. B．They smiled and nodded. C．They held up their fingers. D．They looked at each other. 2．Why did the writer feel embarrassed at the beginning of learning ASL? A．She wasn’t sure about the answers. B．She had to smile at her classmates. C．She misspelled and respelled many times. D．She didn’t know how to get others’ attention. 3．What has the writer learned from this experience? A．The body gives life to language. B．Secret language is difficult to learn. C．ASL has the same vocabulary as English. D．Spelling is more important than expression. I did not expect so many people to be here. Over five hundred were seated in rows. I could hear the sound of a cough or a child trying to stay quiet from time to time, but it all sounded muffled (模糊不清的) as if I was under water. Every night, Ethan and I practiced hard until my voice got rough (沙哑的) and his fingers hurt. We were invited to perform at a national music concert. Usually we don’t have such opportunity to shine, so we wanted to give it our all. Every run-through we did, we’d fix a few mistakes but always find a few new ones in exchange. It was like two steps forward and one step back. Even though we sometimes disagreed, we stayed focused on our goal. As we walked up onto the stage, I could feel a thousand sharp eyes on me. The air was completely still. The lights felt hot on my face. When the music began, I froze. My mouth opened, but no sound came out. Ethan slowed the piano down for a beat as he looked over at me. He knew something was wrong, but he continued onward as he had been trained to do. I searched madly for a solution, my eyes moving quickly around the darkened hall. I felt as if time had stopped. Then, I locked eyes with Mom. Even at a distance, I could sense her gently mouthing the words to me as she had always done whenever I’d forget my lines, “Elise, you can do it.” I took a deep breath and my voice finally came out, strong and clear. Ethan and I rode through the rest of the song until the end, our voices and the piano fitting together perfectly. A moment of silence. Then, the whole audience (观众) rose to their feet in applause. A month later, I felt like I was under water again. I walked onto the stage. As I looked up, I saw my mom. She watched me patiently and gave me a nod. Gradually, the pressure on my chest disappeared and I could breathe once more. I had done this before, and I would do it again. 1．From the passage, Elise was nervous because ________. A．she didn’t practice enough with Ethan B．she was worrying about her rough voice C．she didn’t share the same goal with Ethan D．she had to face a large audience in the hall 2．When Ethan started to play the piano, Elise ________.

A．Continuous hard work will finally pay off. B．Teamwork turns the impossible into reality. C．Support from loved ones lights the path to confidence. D．True strength comes from overcoming repeated failures. Tom sat at his desk, staring at his homework. He was a bit down. Earlier that evening, he had argued with his dad about using AI to finish his work. “You have used it too much,” his dad had said. “It’s useful, but if you use it for everything, you won’t learn to think for yourself.” Tom knew his dad was right. That night, Tom came to the bedroom, his heart beating fast. He took a deep breath and entered. “Dad, can we talk?” he asked. His dad smiled and nodded. Tom said, “I was wrong to use AI for all my homework. I want to try doing it by myself from now on.” His dad was glad and gave him some advice: start with small tasks, check facts with AI, but try to write down your own ideas. The next morning, Tom opened his notebook. He tried to finish his English writing on his own. At first, it was slow, and he made many mistakes. He got confused by some difficult questions and almost gave up. But then he thought of his dad’s words: “Try your best and take your time.” Slowly, he began writing, checking each sentence carefully. By lunchtime, Tom finished his writing and felt more confident. As the week went on, Tom tried to use what he learned in different subjects. He used AI only to check facts. He still made mistakes and had to rewrite part of his report. At first, he felt upset, but then he realized that correcting his own mistakes helped him understand the topic better. His dad noticed and said, “You are improving. Believe in yourself.” Finally, Friday came. Tom handed in his history report, written completely by himself. When he got it back, he could hardly believe it—he got an A! His teacher even praised his careful thinking and creative ideas. Tom learned an important lesson: learning is not about taking the easy way. It is about working hard, thinking carefully, and facing problems bravely. 1．When Tom came to the bedroom that night, he felt ________. A．excited and happy B．angry and impatient C．nervous and worried D．confident and relaxed 2．What did Tom do after he thought of his father’s advice? A．He gave up when he made many mistakes. B．He finished his writing on his own carefully. C．He copied his classmates’ work to save time. D．He used AI to get more ideas for his writing. 3．What can we learn from the story? A．Making mistakes always leads to negative effects. B．Using AI is the best way to finish homework quickly. C．True learning needs effort, independent thinking and facing challenges. D．Real learning requires practice, quick thinking and avoiding problems. A teacher decided to let her class play a game. She told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag with a few big potatoes. Each potato was given the name of a person that the child hated, so the number of potatoes that a child put in his or her plastic bag was the number of people he or she hated. When the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the names of the people he or she hated. Some had two potatoes, some had three while some had up to five potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry the potatoes in the plastic bag with them wherever they went. Days after days passed, and the children started to complain because of the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten (腐烂的) potatoes. Besides, those having as many as five potatoes also had to carry heavier bags. After weeks, the children were relieved (如释重负的) because the game had finally ended. The teacher asked “How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you these days?” The children let out their upset and started complaining about the trouble they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they went. Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. “This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred (憎恨) for somebody inside your heart. The unpleasant smell of hatred will pollute your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. Just forgive someone you hate and keep going ahead. If you cannot tolerate (忍受) the smell of rotten potatoes for just a short period of time, can you imagine what it is like to have hatred in your heart for your lifetime?” 1．How many potatoes could the children bring to school? A．Five potatoes at most. B．No more than two or three. C．The same number as those they hated. D．They can bring as many as they want. 2．How might the children feel while carrying the potatoes? A．Sad and scared. B．Upset and unhappy. C．Anxious and angry. D．Nervous and dissatisfied. 3．What does the teacher try to teach the children? A．Tolerate hatred if you can’t forget it. B．Forgive those you hate and move on. C．Carry a potato bag wherever you go. D．Never buy rotten potatoes even if they’re cheap. Kathy could still remember the night when she had to leave her home in Hungary at the age of 14. It was the beginning of World War II and her family had to leave their country as soon as possible. She quickly filled a bag with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her treasure—a beautiful silk scarf. Kathy and her best friend, Monica, had asked their parents to buy them matching scarves. They each would wear the scarves as a symbol of their friendship. Kathy had no idea that she was going to America that night and would not be returning. Kathy kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Kathy was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, “Don’t worry, Grandma, nothing’s going to happen to your scarf. You’ll see. It is going to bring both of us luck today.” And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview. That afternoon Eliza left the interview, feeling sure that she had got the job. So she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. As she was sitting at her table, she felt someone looking at her. Sitting next to her was an old woman, who could not take her eyes away from her. “I’m sorry, do I know you?” Eliza asked. “I’m sorry, dear, but you make me think of someone I once knew,” the old woman replied. “My best friend looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like the one you’re wearing around your neck.” Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmother’s best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf. Could this be Monica, her grandmother’s childhood friend? Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the other woman. “My name’s Monica, dear. I lived in Hungary as a child, but my family had to leave when I was fourteen years old. I’ve been living here in California ever since.” said the old woman. Eliza could not believe her ears... 1．What happened on the night Kathy left Hungary? A．She wore a beautiful silk scarf.

In a cave. Beautiful!” Mum smiled. Birds! Always birds! From the moment Amy woke up in the morning to the moment she closed her eyes at night, she thought only of birds. Amy climbed straight to her attic room—her museum, she called it. Every shelf, every spare inch of floor, was covered with nests, bird models and natural science books. The walls were covered with pencil and crayon drawings of many different kinds of birds, all signed “Amy in the woods.” “Are those the same birds who built the nest last year? Will they return to the cave next spring?” Amy always wondered. “I will study my cave birds. I will draw them just as they are.” Amy made up her mind. In a week, the birds were used to her. They were busy building their nest as Amy watched and drew with her pencils. Soon the dried brown nest became a soft green bed. Amy watched as two baby birds came out. She watched as the young birds flew for the first time. She began to feel a part of this small family. When the days grew shorter and the autumn air began to bite, Amy knew the birds would leave soon. But would they come back? She had to know! In bed that night, she formed a plan. The next day, when the mother and father birds were away from the nest, she tied something to one leg of each baby bird. A week later, the birds were gone... The days grew longer again. One morning, Amy heard a bird call, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!” She ran to the cave. Watching the way the birds flew in and out of the cave, Amy knew her friends came back. But where were last year’s babies? Did they return too? She began to search the woods near the cave, listening for their call. Inside a little house, she found two birds building a nest. One wore a silver ring around its leg. Up the small river, under a bridge, she found two more nesting birds. And one wore a silver ring around its leg. Amy smiled and called, “Fee-bee!

I will never forget the very moment that caused me to leave my gift behind because I wanted the gift that my older sister Maria had. My family was spending a week at the beach. One morning, Maria went to the beach early, but I stayed behind to finish a drawing of a seashell. After finishing the drawing, I walked to join Maria. She was a top gymnast (体操运动员). Her show was perfect as she wheeled along the beach. The beauty of that sight froze me, and I decided immediately that I too would become a gymnast like her. I knew that I had never been very good at sports. However, when I told my parents I wanted to take a gymnastics class, they agreed with me in surprise. The next week, I went to a beginners’ class. If only my parents had talked me out of this misguided plan! Five minutes into the first class, it was clear that I didn’t have the gift of a gymnast. But I kept at it. During this time, drawing and painting—which had been my two favorites—all but left my mind. It must have been hurting for my family as they watched my hopeless efforts. I blindly decided to be like Maria. I just would not give up. At the same time, on the advice of Ms. White, my art teacher, I hurriedly handed in my seashell drawing for an art contest in our town. One night as I was having a hard time practicing, the phone rang. It was Ms. White. “Alice, you won the contest!” she said loudly. “Really?” was all I could reply. “Yes,” Ms. White said. “They’re going to give you a prize. And that’s not all. The winner is also accepted into Wildale’s Summer Fine Arts Institute.” I couldn’t believe what I heard. Only a handful of young artists were accepted each summer. That night I didn’t go back into the living room to continue practicing. Gymnastics was Maria’s gift, not mine. It had taken me a while, but I realized that I had a gift of my own. 1．Alice wanted to be a gymnast because ________. A．she had been good at sports B．her sister’s show was perfect C．she hated drawing and painting D．her parents wanted her to do so 2．How did Alice feel about learning gymnastics at last? A．Satisfied. B．Worried. C．Hopeful. D．Regretful. 3．What does the writer want to tell us according to the passage? A．We should value our own gifts. B．It takes time to find one’s gifts. C．We could develop different gifts. D．It’s never too late to show our gifts. The bell rang, and the students of Class Three slowly took their seats. It seemed like an ordinary Monday morning. But today, their teacher, Miss Lema, had something special planned. She entered the classroom, carrying a large cardboard box. “Good morning, everyone! Today, we’re going to do something a little different,” she said. Setting the box on her desk, she began handing out the white masks (面罩) and some colorful markers. “Here’s what I want you to do,” she said. “On the outside, decorate your mask to show how you want others to see you. Use any colors or symbols you like. Inside, write one thing about yourself that most people don’t know.” At first, some students laughed, showing their masks to others or making jokes about silly designs. But as minutes passed, the laughter softened. Something about the task made everyone thoughtful. Emma, who was always cheerful and full of jokes, drew a shining yellow sun in the bright blue sky. Inside, she carefully wrote: Sometimes I’m afraid that if I’m not funny, people won’t like me. Jack, a quiet boy who seldom spoke up, painted calm blue waves across his mask. Inside, he wrote: I miss my dad a lot. I don’t talk about it. When everyone finished, Miss Lema asked them to pass their masks around the room. Each student opened one, reading the hidden words inside. The class fell silent for a while. “I didn’t know you felt like that,” Jenna said softly to Emma. Bruce looked at Jack and said in a low voice, “You’re not alone. I’ve felt that way too.” Miss Lema looked around and said gently, “We all wear masks sometimes. We hide how we really feel because we’ re afraid people might not understand. But when we share our true selves, we become closer. That’s where kindness begins.” After that day, Class Three was never quite the same as before. The students spoke more kindly, listened more patiently, and smiled more often. It wasn’t the kind of lesson they expected — but it was one they would remember for a lifetime. 1．What were the students asked to do with the masks? A．Put them into the cardboard box. B．Help each other to hand them out. C．Wear them and let the others design. D．Decorate the outside and write a secret inside. 2．How did the students’ feelings change while they were doing the task? A．They got silent and worried. B．They became noisy and upset. C．They turned quiet and thoughtful. D．They stayed cheerful and excited. 3．What have you learnt from the story? A．Art skills are important for self-expression. B．Sharing true feelings can help us grow closer. C．Masks can help to hide our real thoughts often. D．Task-based learning is popular among students. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题06 阅读理解之记叙文15篇 （北京专用） 内容导航 内容速递 中考真题练习 中考模拟练习 内容速递 本资料共15篇专项训练 中考真题练习 聚焦真题 明确考点 各地市联考真题练习 专注模拟 争夺高分 中考真题练习 When I was young, flowers filled my mom’s garden each spring. I never thought that Mom had done much about them behind the scenes (在幕后), until she shared her secret with me. One day last November, Mom and I spent a whole morning planting flower bulbs. I dropped one in each hole and covered it over with soil. My fingers were numb (麻木的) by the time we finished. However, the ground looked just as flower bulb empty and flat as it had been before. Then Mom told me to wait. I didn’t only wait—I watched. I watched hopefully all through the winter... On the last day of April, I went outside to find the garden full of colorful flowers. Our hard work paid off. “My boy, tomorrow morning,” Mom said, “we will walk the neighborhood and leave a basket of flowers on each doorstep.” “What?” I almost cried. “Are we selling our flowers?” “Of course not,” she said excitedly. “In fact, nobody will even know they’re from us. We’ll leave them at our neighbors’ as a surprise. Doesn’t that sound fun?” “To me, it doesn’t sound fun at all” I replied unwillingly. “They’re our flowers. We should keep them for ourselves!” “Flowers are like kindness,” Mom said. “Their beauty is meant to be shared.” Early the next morning, Mom woke me up. We brought the baskets and stopped near the first house. I took one basket, set it by the doorstep and rang the bell. Then we quickly ran away, ducked behind the trees and waited. Finally, the door opened. A man came out, looking surprised. He picked up the flower basket and then smiled. Mom hugged me. I got a good feeling inside. Now I knew what she meant about beauty sharing. I couldn’t wait to get to the next house. By the time we got home, I was grinning (咧着嘴笑) from ear to ear. The garden was empty, but my heart was full. 1．How did the writer feel when he watched the garden during the winter? A．Empty. B．Excited. C．Hopeful.

However, when my mom told me that I had to live with my grandfather for six weeks, I complained. A voice inside me said that it would be miserable to live with my grandpa, which meant no afternoon baseball games with my neighborhood friends. The first week with Grandpa was fine. We went out for dinner and watched TV together. One day, Grandpa was sitting at the table reading the newspaper. I sat on the couch and flipped (快速翻动) through my baseball card collection. “Wish I had a Hank Aaron card,” I said to myself. When Grandpa heard me, he said in surprise, “I didn’t know you liked baseball, Susan.” I explained that it was my favorite sport and I usually played it all summer with my friends. Grandpa stood up shakily and walked to the door. “Let’s go,” he said, with excitement. “I want to show you something.” We drove for quite a while, and when Grandpa finally stopped the car, we were in front of some old houses. A sign on each house said “Land Will Be Sold. Call For Details.” I noticed that Grandpa had a faraway look in his eyes. “I haven’t been here for decades,” he whispered. “Probably twenty or thirty years.” We walked there and he pointed down the street and said, “That’s the field where I used to play baseball every summer.” Then I realized where we were: This was the house where Grandpa grew up! We looked inside a window and saw a big mess. No one had lived here for a long time. On the ride home, Grandpa was very quiet. I thought about how he must miss his old home and the friends he grew up with. If he could just go back in time for a few minutes, he would feel very happy and less lonely. Then I realized that six weeks away from home was not too bad, especially with Grandpa around. 1．Why did the writer complain about her coming vacation? A．Because she could not play baseball games with friends. B．Because she could not enjoy her baseball card collection. C．Because she would go out for dinner with her grandfather. D．Because she would leave her home and live in an old house. 2．How did Grandpa feel when he heard Susan liked baseball? A．Hopeful and thankful. B．Confused and upset. C．Worried and unhappy. D．Surprised and excited. 3．What might Susan most probably do after visiting the old house? A．Listening to Grandpa’s life story in the past. B．Sharing her baseball cards with her schoolmates. C．Complaining about her boring vacation to her mom. D．Cleaning the old house with her neighborhood friends. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 【导语】本文讲述了女孩苏珊在被迫与祖父共度暑假的过程中，从最初因不能与朋友打棒球而抱怨，到通过参观祖父旧居理解了祖父的孤独与怀旧，最终改变了对这段经历的看法。 1．第一段指出：“However, when my mom told me that I had to live with my grandfather for six weeks, I complained. A voice inside me said that it would be miserable to live with my grandpa, which meant no afternoon baseball games with my neighborhood friends.”，这表明作者抱怨是因为无法与邻居朋友打棒球。 2．第二段提到：“When Grandpa heard me, he said in surprise... ‘Let’s go,’ he said, with excitement.”，祖父听到苏珊喜欢棒球时表现出“惊讶”和“兴奋”。 3．最后一段写道：“I thought about how he must miss his old home and the friends he grew up with... Then I realized that six weeks away from home was not too bad, especially with Grandpa around.”，苏珊理解了祖父的怀旧之情，并意识到与祖父共度时光的意义，因此最可能的是倾听祖父过去的故事。 Sarah loved the beautiful music box on her grandmother’s table.

How do you feel when others show no response (回应) to your kindness? I’ve been thinking about writing this for years, but always worried it would sound like the thoughts of an old crank (古怪的人). Then, a few weeks ago, I had an epiphany (顿悟). I was at the grocery store, heading for the only open cashier at the same time as an older woman with a full cart. I gestured (做了个手势) for her to go first, but she insisted I go ahead since I had only one item. We went back and forth until she playfully stomped (跺) her foot and let me go first. I thanked her, and we started chatting about the weather and our favorite grocery store. We wished each other a nice day, and I left smiling. The epiphany? Well, it’s simple really. The lady had unselfishly let me go first and I had thanked her, and that common courtesy (礼貌) led to a lovely conversation with a stranger. That connection brightened my day as, I think, it did hers. The world felt a little kinder in that moment. And then I took the difficult drive home on narrow streets where cars have to take turns to pass. Ideally, drivers would wave thanks to each other, but that day, no one did. Sadly, this seems to be the norm now. Thanking someone is the right thing to do. It rewards kindness and encourages more of it. It also makes you feel good, recognizing someone’s effort to help you. This can make you think about how your actions affect others, even strangers. On a social level, it shows that our community thrives (兴旺) when we help each other and act kindly. These small moments of connection lift us all. So next time someone lets you go first in traffic or holds a door open for you, take a moment to look them in the eye, smile and say “thank you”. You’ll both walk away feeling happier. 1．Why did the old woman let the writer go first? A．The writer was in a hurry. B．The writer was her friend. C．The writer gestured to her. D．The writer had only one item. 2．What happened to the drivers on the narrow street? A．They greeted each other warmly. B．They had no polite communication. C．They argued loudly with each other. D．They waved thanks to each other. 3．What was the writer’s “epiphany”? A．Small acts of kindness can connect people. B．People are more likely to be kind in grocery stores. C．Being polite to others is not as important as we think. D．Narrow streets often make it difficult for people to communicate. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在杂货店因谦让而与一位陌生老太太产生友好互动的经历，并由此顿悟到小小的礼貌行为可以连接人与人，使世界更美好。 1．细节理解题。根据“I was at the grocery store, heading for the only open cashier at the same time as an older woman with a full cart... she insisted I go ahead since I had only one item.”可知，老太太让作者先走是因为作者只买了一件商品。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Ideally, drivers would wave thanks to each other, but that day, no one did. Sadly, this seems to be the norm now.”可知，在狭窄的街道上，司机们没有进行礼貌的交流（挥手致谢）。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据作者的顿悟内容“The lady had unselfishly let me go first and I had thanked her, and that common courtesy led to a lovely conversation with a stranger. That connection brightened my day...”可知，作者的顿悟是：小小的善意之举可以连接人与人。故选A。 Ava was a quiet girl who often felt less important than her more sociable classmates, and this made her feel a bit uncomfortable in social situations.

She loved watching stars every evening—lying on the grass with a telescope (望远镜), dreaming about faraway planets. One night, a bright light flew across the sky and crashed into the nearby forest. Her heart beat fast, full of excitement and a little fear. She picked up a flashlight, put on her shoes, and hurried into the forest to check it out. There, in a clear part of the forest, was a small, shining spaceship. A strange little boy walked out—with silver skin, big kind eyes, and a body that glowed softly (微微发光). “I’m Kael from planet Nova,” he said in a calm voice. “My ship’s energy system is broken. I need to fix it to go home, but I don’t know Earth’s machines.” Lila felt sorry for him. She was good at science and often helped her dad mend old things. “I can try to help you,” she said. They took parts from old radios and batteries in her grandma’s house. For three days, they worked together. Lila taught Kael about basic tools and electricity, while Kael shared stories of his planet’s green forests and kind people. Lila and Kael faced many problems when they repaired the spaceship, but they didn’t give up. “Mistakes help us learn,” she told Kael. They adjusted (调整) the connections and tested again and again. On the third night, the machine finally worked. Kael’s face lit up with joy. Before leaving, he gave Lila a small shining stone. “This is a sign of friendship,” he said. “Your kindness taught me that love and courage are the same all over the universe.” As Kael left, Lila held the stone tight. She learned that differences don’t stop us from being friends—with an open heart and a wish to help, we can build bridges even between stars.

However, his parents told him to spend every afternoon with his grandmother learning paper-cutting. This made him upset. “It’s an old-fashioned craft (手工艺). What’s the point?” he said angrily. But his father insisted, “Grandmother’s skills are a treasure. This is important.” The first few days were really frustrating (令人沮丧的). No matter how hard Li Wei tried, he couldn’t control his fingers properly. His cuts were messy, nothing like grandmother’s, which were always sharp and formed beautiful designs of flowers and animals. He found it a boring task. One afternoon, grandmother didn’t bring any pattern (图案). Instead, she placed a blank red paper in front of him. “Today,” she said softly, “cut out what is in your heart.” Li Wei was confused. He thought for a moment, then decided to cut out a simple basketball—the symbol of his favourite sport. To his surprise, grandmother smiled warmly. “Good! You see, paper-cutting is not just about copying old patterns. It’s a language. Our ancestors (祖先) used it to tell their stories. Now, you are telling yours.” Li Wei felt a sudden excitement. It wasn’t about being perfect at an old art; it was about adding his own voice to it. He practiced with new interest. He started creating designs that mixed traditional symbols with things from his own life—a panda with a basketball and the school building next to a lucky character “Fu”. When his class had an international culture fair, Li Wei didn’t just display grandmother’s perfect traditional cuts. He proudly showed his own modern creations. He explained to his curious classmates, and even to the visiting exchange students, how this art was evolving (演变). He was no longer just a learner; he felt like a keeper of the tradition. Li Wei finally understood his father’s words. The real treasure wasn’t just the paper-cuts themselves, but the silent language they carried—a language that he could now speak, and more importantly, one he could help write for the future. 1．How did Li Wei feel about learning paper-cutting at first? A．Surprised. B．Proud. C．Curious. D．Upset. 2．What made Li Wei practice paper-cutting with new interest? A．Watching grandmother make paper-cuts. B．Attending the international culture fair. C．Creating designs to express himself. D．Copying the old perfect patterns. 3．What did Li Wei finally realize? A．Traditional art stays alive with new ideas. B．Traditional art should remain unchanged. C．Learning traditional art skills is very hard. D．Paper-cutting is a symbol of traditional art. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了李伟对剪纸艺术的态度转变，由不感兴趣到热爱，最后为剪纸艺术发声。 1．细节理解题。根据文中“However, his parents told him to spend every afternoon with his grandmother learning paper-cutting. This made him upset.”可知，李伟最初对学习剪纸感到很不高兴，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据文中第四段以及“It wasn’t about being perfect at an old art; it was about adding his own voice to it. He practiced with new interest.”可知，祖母让李伟“剪出心中所想”，他创作篮球图案后感到兴奋，并开始混合传统与现代元素（如熊猫打篮球），由此产生新兴趣。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文中“The real treasure wasn’t just the paper-cuts themselves, but the silent language they carried—a language that he could now speak, and more importantly, one he could help write for the future.”可知，李伟最终意识到了传统艺术因新思想而焕发活力，故选A。 When I arrived at the Sign Language Center for my first American Sign Language (ASL) class, a man took one look at me and held up some fingers. One? Two? I put up one finger, and he directed me to the Level 1 class. Class time was strictly “voices off” to encourage immersive (沉浸式的) learning and to show respect to the deaf teachers. Without the power of speech, all my classmates and I could do was smile and nod at one another as we took in the new vocabulary. As a writer, I pride myself on a certain talent for language. I was taught that there’s a perfect mix of words that can most exactly communicate any thought. With ASL, I expected to feel similarly, and thought fluency would come after I collected enough signs. The first thing we learn in ASL class is the alphabet. As my classmates and I used ASL to ask and answer questions, we came across words without matching signs and could only spell them with difficulty. That was the main experience of our first weeks learning ASL. It was embarrassing (尴尬的): Seeing a dozen politely smiling faces watching me as I slowly spelled, misspelled and restarted spelling words—often many times—was its own kind of suffering. Over time, I picked up on new ways, like waving a hand or stomping on the ground to get someone’s attention. My fingers stopped as they reached for new shapes, and I struggled to differentiate very similar looking signs. Eventually I realized that when you’re communicating in sign language, diction (措词) is not as important as the way you express what you’re communicating. I once asked a teacher how to sign the word “desperate (渴望的)”. “ASL doesn’t have a direct translation of every English word,” he told me. “If you want to sign ‘desperate’, you might just sign the word ‘want’, but with the proper facial and body posturing to show your desperation. It doesn’t make sense to sign ‘frustrated’ if your face doesn’t look frustrated at all, ” he added—it’s like speaking in a calm voice and showing no facial expressions while you’re angry. I’ve been attending ASL classes for almost two years. At the beginning, my reason was common: a childhood curiosity with “secret languages”. While ASL may not completely share a vocabulary with English, that doesn’t mean it lacks precision (精确). Its precision, I’ve learned, lies in the common language of the body. 1．How did the writer and her classmates communicate in the first ASL class? A．They spelled the words. B．They smiled and nodded. C．They held up their fingers. D．They looked at each other. 2．Why did the writer feel embarrassed at the beginning of learning ASL? A．She wasn’t sure about the answers.

It was embarrassing (尴尬的): Seeing a dozen politely smiling faces watching me as I slowly spelled, misspelled and restarted spelling words—often many times—was its own kind of suffering.”可知，作者在学习ASL初期感到尴尬是因为她多次拼错和重新拼写单词。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While ASL may not completely share a vocabulary with English, that doesn’t mean it lacks precision (精确). Its precision, I’ve learned, lies in the common language of the body.”可知，作者从这次经历中学到了身体语言赋予了语言生命，即手语的精确性在于身体语言的共同表达。故选A。 I did not expect so many people to be here. Over five hundred were seated in rows. I could hear the sound of a cough or a child trying to stay quiet from time to time, but it all sounded muffled (模糊不清的) as if I was under water. Every night, Ethan and I practiced hard until my voice got rough (沙哑的) and his fingers hurt. We were invited to perform at a national music concert. Usually we don’t have such opportunity to shine, so we wanted to give it our all. Every run-through we did, we’d fix a few mistakes but always find a few new ones in exchange. It was like two steps forward and one step back. Even though we sometimes disagreed, we stayed focused on our goal. As we walked up onto the stage, I could feel a thousand sharp eyes on me. The air was completely still. The lights felt hot on my face. When the music began, I froze. My mouth opened, but no sound came out. Ethan slowed the piano down for a beat as he looked over at me. He knew something was wrong, but he continued onward as he had been trained to do. I searched madly for a solution, my eyes moving quickly around the darkened hall. I felt as if time had stopped. Then, I locked eyes with Mom. Even at a distance, I could sense her gently mouthing the words to me as she had always done whenever I’d forget my lines, “Elise, you can do it.” I took a deep breath and my voice finally came out, strong and clear. Ethan and I rode through the rest of the song until the end, our voices and the piano fitting together perfectly. A moment of silence. Then, the whole audience (观众) rose to their feet in applause. A month later, I felt like I was under water again. I walked onto the stage. As I looked up, I saw my mom. She watched me patiently and gave me a nod. Gradually, the pressure on my chest disappeared and I could breathe once more. I had done this before, and I would do it again. 1．From the passage, Elise was nervous because ________. A．she didn’t practice enough with Ethan B．she was worrying about her rough voice C．she didn’t share the same goal with Ethan D．she had to face a large audience in the hall 2．When Ethan started to play the piano, Elise ________. A．lost herself in the beautiful music B．tried to sing but couldn’t make a sound C．felt something wrong with the stage lights D．counted the beats of the song alongside him 3．What can we learn from the story? A．Continuous hard work will finally pay off. B．Teamwork turns the impossible into reality. C．Support from loved ones lights the path to confidence. D．True strength comes from overcoming repeated failures. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Elise与Ethan受邀在国家音乐会上表演，尽管他们勤加练习，但在登台时Elise因紧张而失声，最终在与观众席中母亲的目光交流中重拾信心，成功完成表演的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“I did not expect so many people to be here.

He was a bit down. Earlier that evening, he had argued with his dad about using AI to finish his work. “You have used it too much,” his dad had said. “It’s useful, but if you use it for everything, you won’t learn to think for yourself.” Tom knew his dad was right. That night, Tom came to the bedroom, his heart beating fast. He took a deep breath and entered. “Dad, can we talk?” he asked. His dad smiled and nodded. Tom said, “I was wrong to use AI for all my homework. I want to try doing it by myself from now on.” His dad was glad and gave him some advice: start with small tasks, check facts with AI, but try to write down your own ideas. The next morning, Tom opened his notebook. He tried to finish his English writing on his own. At first, it was slow, and he made many mistakes. He got confused by some difficult questions and almost gave up. But then he thought of his dad’s words: “Try your best and take your time.” Slowly, he began writing, checking each sentence carefully. By lunchtime, Tom finished his writing and felt more confident. As the week went on, Tom tried to use what he learned in different subjects. He used AI only to check facts. He still made mistakes and had to rewrite part of his report. At first, he felt upset, but then he realized that correcting his own mistakes helped him understand the topic better. His dad noticed and said, “You are improving. Believe in yourself.” Finally, Friday came. Tom handed in his history report, written completely by himself. When he got it back, he could hardly believe it—he got an A! His teacher even praised his careful thinking and creative ideas. Tom learned an important lesson: learning is not about taking the easy way. It is about working hard, thinking carefully, and facing problems bravely. 1．When Tom came to the bedroom that night, he felt ________. A．excited and happy B．angry and impatient C．nervous and worried D．confident and relaxed 2．What did Tom do after he thought of his father’s advice? A．He gave up when he made many mistakes.

When the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the names of the people he or she hated. Some had two potatoes, some had three while some had up to five potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry the potatoes in the plastic bag with them wherever they went. Days after days passed, and the children started to complain because of the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten (腐烂的) potatoes. Besides, those having as many as five potatoes also had to carry heavier bags. After weeks, the children were relieved (如释重负的) because the game had finally ended. The teacher asked “How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you these days?” The children let out their upset and started complaining about the trouble they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they went. Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. “This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred (憎恨) for somebody inside your heart. The unpleasant smell of hatred will pollute your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. Just forgive someone you hate and keep going ahead.

Ffh. Ffh! It was not just the empty nest of a pewee bird as Amy had found the last five days. Amy ran home through the woods. “Mum!” she shouted. “I see birds. Two. In a cave. Beautiful!” Mum smiled. Birds! Always birds! From the moment Amy woke up in the morning to the moment she closed her eyes at night, she thought only of birds. Amy climbed straight to her attic room—her museum, she called it. Every shelf, every spare inch of floor, was covered with nests, bird models and natural science books. The walls were covered with pencil and crayon drawings of many different kinds of birds, all signed “Amy in the woods.” “Are those the same birds who built the nest last year? Will they return to the cave next spring?” Amy always wondered. “I will study my cave birds. I will draw them just as they are.” Amy made up her mind. In a week, the birds were used to her. They were busy building their nest as Amy watched and drew with her pencils. Soon the dried brown nest became a soft green bed. Amy watched as two baby birds came out. She watched as the young birds flew for the first time. She began to feel a part of this small family. When the days grew shorter and the autumn air began to bite, Amy knew the birds would leave soon. But would they come back? She had to know! In bed that night, she formed a plan. The next day, when the mother and father birds were away from the nest, she tied something to one leg of each baby bird. A week later, the birds were gone... The days grew longer again. One morning, Amy heard a bird call, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!” She ran to the cave. Watching the way the birds flew in and out of the cave, Amy knew her friends came back. But where were last year’s babies? Did they return too? She began to search the woods near the cave, listening for their call. Inside a little house, she found two birds building a nest. One wore a silver ring around its leg. Up the small river, under a bridge, she found two more nesting birds. And one wore a silver ring around its leg. Amy smiled and called, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!” 1．What can we learn about Amy from her museum? A．She often studied birds with her mother. B．She had rich bird-watching experiences. C．She liked drawing more than other hobbies.

My family was spending a week at the beach. One morning, Maria went to the beach early, but I stayed behind to finish a drawing of a seashell. After finishing the drawing, I walked to join Maria. She was a top gymnast (体操运动员). Her show was perfect as she wheeled along the beach. The beauty of that sight froze me, and I decided immediately that I too would become a gymnast like her. I knew that I had never been very good at sports. However, when I told my parents I wanted to take a gymnastics class, they agreed with me in surprise. The next week, I went to a beginners’ class. If only my parents had talked me out of this misguided plan! Five minutes into the first class, it was clear that I didn’t have the gift of a gymnast. But I kept at it. During this time, drawing and painting—which had been my two favorites—all but left my mind. It must have been hurting for my family as they watched my hopeless efforts. I blindly decided to be like Maria. I just would not give up. At the same time, on the advice of Ms. White, my art teacher, I hurriedly handed in my seashell drawing for an art contest in our town. One night as I was having a hard time practicing, the phone rang. It was Ms. White. “Alice, you won the contest!” she said loudly. “Really?” was all I could reply. “Yes,” Ms. White said. “They’re going to give you a prize. And that’s not all. The winner is also accepted into Wildale’s Summer Fine Arts Institute.” I couldn’t believe what I heard. Only a handful of young artists were accepted each summer. That night I didn’t go back into the living room to continue practicing. Gymnastics was Maria’s gift, not mine. It had taken me a while, but I realized that I had a gift of my own. 1．Alice wanted to be a gymnast because ________. A．she had been good at sports B．her sister’s show was perfect C．she hated drawing and painting D．her parents wanted her to do so 2．How did Alice feel about learning gymnastics at last? A．Satisfied. B．Worried. C．Hopeful. D．Regretful. 3．What does the writer want to tell us according to the passage? A．We should value our own gifts. B．It takes time to find one’s gifts. C．We could develop different gifts. D．It’s never too late to show our gifts. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者看到姐姐练习体操，她也想练习，但是经过一段时间的练习，最终发现画画才是适合自己的。 1．细节理解题。根据“Her show was perfect as she wheeled along the beach. The beauty of that sight froze me, and I decided immediately that I too would become a gymnast like her.”可知，爱丽丝姐姐完美的表演吸引了爱丽丝，所以她也决定练习体操。故选B。 2．观点态度题。根据“That night I didn’t go back into the living room to continue practicing. Gymnastics was Maria’s gift, not mine. It had taken me a while, but I realized that I had a gift of my own.”可知，作者发现体操并不适合自己，而且在得知获奖后放弃了体操，回归自己的绘画特长，放弃了体操运动，由此推断，她应该是“后悔的”。故选D。 3．推理判断题。本文主要讲述了作者看到姐姐练习体操，她也想练习，但是经过一段时间的练习，最终发现画画才是适合自己的。由此可推断，作者想告诉我们：适合自己的才是最好的，我们应该珍惜自己的天赋。故选A。 The bell rang, and the students of Class Three slowly took their seats. It seemed like an ordinary Monday morning. But today, their teacher, Miss Lema, had something special planned. She entered the classroom, carrying a large cardboard box. “Good morning, everyone! Today, we’re going to do something a little different,” she said. Setting the box on her desk, she began handing out the white masks (面罩) and some colorful markers. “Here’s what I want you to do,” she said. “On the outside, decorate your mask to show how you want others to see you. Use any colors or symbols you like. Inside, write one thing about yourself that most people don’t know.” At first, some students laughed, showing their masks to others or making jokes about silly designs. But as minutes passed, the laughter softened. Something about the task made everyone thoughtful. Emma, who was always cheerful and full of jokes, drew a shining yellow sun in the bright blue sky. Inside, she carefully wrote: Sometimes I’m afraid that if I’m not funny, people won’t like me. Jack, a quiet boy who seldom spoke up, painted calm blue waves across his mask. Inside, he wrote: I miss my dad a lot. I don’t talk about it. When everyone finished, Miss Lema asked them to pass their masks around the room. Each student opened one, reading the hidden words inside. The class fell silent for a while. “I didn’t know you felt like that,” Jenna said softly to Emma. Bruce looked at Jack and said in a low voice, “You’re not alone. I’ve felt that way too.” Miss Lema looked around and said gently, “We all wear masks sometimes. We hide how we really feel because we’ re afraid people might not understand. But when we share our true selves, we become closer. That’s where kindness begins.” After that day, Class Three was never quite the same as before. The students spoke more kindly, listened more patiently, and smiled more often. It wasn’t the kind of lesson they expected — but it was one they would remember for a lifetime. 1．What were the students asked to do with the masks? A．Put them into the cardboard box. B．Help each other to hand them out. C．Wear them and let the others design. D．Decorate the outside and write a secret inside. 2．How did the students’ feelings change while they were doing the task? A．They got silent and worried. B．They became noisy and upset. C．They turned quiet and thoughtful. D．They stayed cheerful and excited. 3．What have you learnt from the story? A．Art skills are important for self-expression. B．Sharing true feelings can help us grow closer. C．Masks can help to hide our real thoughts often. D．Task-based learning is popular among students. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一位老师通过“面具”手工活动，引导学生表达内心真实想法，从而促进同学间相互理解与关爱的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“On the outside, decorate your mask to show how you want others to see you...
