Damien Degbo, 53, teaches his students kung fu and tai chi there. For him, Chinese martial arts are more than just exercise. They’re a way of life and a bridge between Benin and China. At the age of 13, Degbo watched Chinese martial arts movies in Benin’s capital. He loved how these actors fought with beauty and power. That’s when his love of kung fu began. Degbo joined a private kung fu club and later learnt Chinese at a culture centre. In 2010, he started his own club, Super Shaolin of Benin. In 2014, he got a chance to train at China’s Shaolin Temple. The training was hard, but it taught him a lot about Chinese culture. He learnt how to practice calligraphy, tea preparation and traditional Chinese medicine. Now, Degbo’s club has more than 350 students. He teaches not only Chinese martial arts but also Chinese culture. Chefif Deen, a student of the kung fu master, says kung fu has changed his life, helping him become stronger and more self-controlled. Degbo thinks of himself as someone who spreads Chinese culture.

He did a couple of quick wake-up exercises and then he went over to his mirror (镜子) and looked at himself. “Not bad, Stone, not bad,” he said to himself and smiled. Maybe he wasn’t ready for Hollywood, but with his dark brown eyes and his thick brown hair, he had the looks that turned girls’ heads. He moved closer to the mirror and smiled, checking his teeth. “Perfect,” he thought. “Good enough for a toothpaste ad.” As his eyes moved down to his strong arms, he smiled again. The hours he spent in the gym and doing sit-ups have paid off. But suddenly, the smile froze. His eyes moved from the upper part of his body down to his legs. His legs were short. Not just short, but far too short for his body. He had the upper body of a six-footer, but because of his legs he was much less than six feet! Six inches less! Sitting, he was as tall as almost anyone. Standing, he had to look up at most of the boys and even many of the girls. Why didn’t his legs grow with the rest of his body? He was one of the shortest boys in his class. He was the shortest in his own family, he was even shorter than his “little” sister—by three inches! Where did his legs come from? He certainly didn’t get them from his parents. They were both quite tall. Looking through old family photos, he found the answer. It was his grandfather on his mother’s side. His short legs were a gift from Grandpa Tuttle. Thanks a lot, Grandpa! Of course, the kids at school all noticed Jay’s short legs and they had a nickname (外号) for him: Stubs! Almost no one called him by his real name; they all called him Stubs. Stubs Stone, Jay didn’t like his nickname, but he had to accept it. He had no choice. But Jay couldn’t see in the mirror what his legs could do. They were quick and strong. He was the youngest player on the Brewer High football team. He could run faster than anyone else in the team and, like a rabbit, he kept going and going. Even at basketball, where the other players were much taller than him, they were still afraid of him because of his speed. Jay shook his head. “Stubs, Stubs Stone, the kid with stubby legs. Yeah, that’s me,” he said to himself with a little smile. Suddenly, he heard his mother’s voice. “Jay! It’s breakfast time!” 1．What did Jay do after he got up on the Monday morning? A．He did some housework. B．He took some family photos. C．He watched TV for some time. D．He did some wake-up exercises. 2．What can we learn about Jay in paragraphs 2—4? A．He was satisfied with his looks. B．He wanted to be a film actor. C．He once played a role in an ad. D．He found it useless to do sit-ups. 3．What does the underlined word “froze” probably mean in paragraph 5? A．Spread. B．Stopped. C．Continued. D．Returned. 4．Which of the following best describes Jay? A．Strict and serious. B．Clever and helpful. C．Funny and confident. D．Patient and hard-working. 5．What does the writer mainly want to tell in the passage? A．Teenagers like to play tricks on each other. B．Teenagers should have dreams in their hearts. C．People’s legs usually grow with other body parts. D．People can turn their weak points into advantages. When Mark walked empty-handed up the sand, the sun was shining brightly. The watching children were as disappointed as he was. They looked at each other and spoke softly so he couldn’t hear. “Is that all?” “Is he giving up?” But Mark wasn’t giving up. He rested on the hot sand. He ate some chocolate biscuits and fed energy back into his body. Slowly his strength and determination returned. “Would the crayfish(鳌虾) still be there?” He wondered. Mark knew crayfish usually hid in the darkness beneath rocks, only coming out at night to feed. How long would his crayfish remain there before it went back under the rocks? Mark forced himself to be patient. He lay on his back in the sun, eyes closed, nearly asleep. Excitement and speed would only waste energy. Finally Mark rose and went back into the water. The children, watching from the shore, were silent. They waited, twisting(缠绕) curls of hair in their fingers, digging their teeth into their knees. Out in the bay, the crayfish was still there. Its feelers moved in the currents(水流). Mark took long, slow, deep breaths. He cheered himself up with encouraging words, “I can do it. I can. I can do it.” Over and over he told himself, hoping his mind would get the idea and believe it. Down he dived. Down. Down. Down. Lungs bursting, ears popping, eyes painful. Nearly there.

Don’t dive until everything feels right,” he spoke to himself calmly, and he felt the confidence building up inside him. “I can do it. I can do it.” He felt good. It was going to be a good dive.

Sixteen-year-old Ava, once a quiet and proud school magazine editor (编辑) lost her confidence after losing her position. To find herself again, she went hiking in the mountains. This wasn’t just a hike to clear her mind. Ava was on a journey to rediscover herself. Though the road was difficult, each step filled her spirit with new energy. While walking through a hard part of the path, she saw something strange—a young eagle lying on the ground, hurt and unable to fly. It looked weak and helpless after last night’s storm. Ava felt sad and wanted to help it. Right away, she made a camp near the bird and gave it water and food. The eagle watched her carefully, backing away at first. But Ava stayed, speaking softly with endless patience. Day after day, she returned to help the eagle. She built it a small home, gently cleaned its wounded wing, and made sure it had enough food. Sometimes Ava wondered whether she was making a difference. Yet, as the eagle grew stronger, so did she. Weeks later, Ava found the eagle standing tall on a rock, spreading its wings wide to face the rising sun. It got well completely. A deep sense of peace filled Ava’s heart—something she hadn’t felt in a long time. She saved the bird, but by doing so, she had found her own hidden strength.

He spent long hours lying on his side, half asleep, dreaming pleasant dreams. He enjoyed good health and he put on a lot of weight. One afternoon, the oldest sheep walked into the barn (畜棚) and stopped to pay a call on Wilbur. “Hello!” she said. “Seems to me you’re putting on weight.” “Yes, I guess I am,” replied Wilbur. “At my age it’s a good idea to keep growing.” “I really don’t agree with you,” said the old sheep, “You know why they’re fattening you up, don’t you?” “No,” said Wilbur. “Well, I don’t like to spread bad news,” said the sheep, “but they’re fattening you up because they’re going to kill you, that’s why.” “Kill you. Turn you into smoked bacon (熏猪肉) and ham,” continued the old sheep. “Almost all young pigs get killed by the farmers as soon as the cold weather set in. Everyone is on the list--Lurvy, Zuckerman, even John Arable.” “Stop!” screamed Wilbur. “I don’t want to die! Save me, somebody! Save me!” “Be quiet, Wilbur!” said Charlotte, the spider, who was the best friend of Wilbur. “I can’t be quiet,” screamed Wilbur, jumping up and down. “I don’t want to be killed. I don’t want to die. Is it true what the old sheep says, Charlotte? Is it true they are going to kill me when the cold weather comes? Will I die?” “Well,” said the spider, thought for a while at her web, “the old sheep has seen many poor pigs killed. If she says they plan to kill you, I’m sure it’s true.” “I don’t want to die,” he cried sadly, throwing himself to the ground, “I want to stay alive, right here in my comfortable barn with all my friends. I want to breathe the beautiful air and lie in the beautiful sun.” “You shall not die,” said Charlotte, briskly (轻快地). “What?

The three of them were desperately (不顾一切地) pulling and pushing at the boat, and calling each other names, but something was wrong with the ropes and the boat wouldn’t move. I stood away from them, watching the sea, black and calm and deadly. My head was full of ideas, and I was thinking hard, but I couldn’t see any chance of survival for us. You think I’m a coward (懦夫), because I just stood there, but what would you do? You can’t tell—nobody can. I needed time…” He was breathing quickly. He was not speaking to me, but seemed to be on trial (审判) in front of an unseen judge, who was responsible for his soul. This was a matter too difficult for the court of inquiry (调查法庭) to decide. It was about the true nature of life, about light and darkness, truth and lies, good and evil. As he spoke, his eyes shone. “Ever since I was a boy, I’ve been preparing myself for difficulties and danger. I was ready. I tell you! Ready for anything! But—‘and the light went out of his face’—this was so unexpected! Well, I’ll tell you the rest. As I was standing there on the bridge, the second engineer ran up and begged me to help them. I pushed him away, in fact I hit him. ‘Won’t you save your own life—you coward?’ he cried. Coward! That’s what he called me. Ha! Ha! Ha!” Jim threw himself back in his chair and laughed loudly. I had never heard anything as bitter (痛苦) as that noise. All around us on the veranda (游廊) conversation stopped. People stared at him. After a while he continued with his story. I was saying to the Patta (帕特纳号). “Sink! Go on, sink!” I wanted it to finish. Then in the sky I saw a big black thunder cloud coming towards us, and I knew the ship couldn’t survive a storm. I saw that George, the third engineer, had now joined the other three, who were still trying to get the boat lowered. Suddenly George fell backwards, and lay without moving on the deck. He was dead. Heart trouble, I think. And just then there was a loud crash as the captain and the two others managed to get the boat down into the water. They were in the boat, and I could hear them shouting from below, “Jump, George! Jump!” Jim trembled (颤抖) a little, and then sat very still, as he relived (再次体验) the awful moment. “There were eight hundred living people on that ship, and they were shouting for the one dead man to jump! ‘Jump, George, we’ll catch you!’ I felt the ship move—I thought she was going down, under me…” Jim put his hand to his head again, and paused for a moment. “I had jumped…it seems,” he added. His clear blue eyes looked miserably (痛苦地) at me, and I felt like an old man helplessly watching a childish disaster. “It seems you did,” I agreed. “When I was in the boat, I wished I could die.

He saw a farmhouse and found that the door of the cow stall was open. So he decided to hide himself under the straw. “What are you doing? You are staying in a place of a farmer, it is very dangerous!” said a cow. “No one will find me if you don’t tell others where I am,” said the deer, “and I shall be off again on the first chance.” As evening came, a farm worker went to feed the cows, but did not find the deer. Later, one more farm worker came in and out. The deer was still safe. All seemed right. The deer felt quite safe and began to thank the cows for their warm welcome. “Wait a while,” said one of them, “we really wish you well, but there is yet another person. It seems he has a hundred eyes. If he happens to come here, you will truly be in danger!” While the cow was speaking, the farmer had just finished his dinner. “I haven’t been to the cow stall for a long time, so I should go to see them and make sure all the cows are safe for the night,” he thought and he did.

Dwayne sat staring at the peeling (剥落了的) paint on the walls of the small, messy room he shared with his two younger brothers. Through the apartment walls he could hear the crying of the neighbor’s newborn child competing with the music from the cars below. Dwayne sat and looked at the blank paper in front of him, considering how he would write a composition (作文) about his life. Mama wouldn’t be home for another half an hour, so Dwayne went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for his family. With Mama’s low income (收入), there wasn’t much to choose from. “I’m hungry,” said eight-year-old Raymond. “What are you cooking?” Holding his brother around the waist, Dwayne replied, “I’ve got my famous bean and rice casserole (砂锅菜). Want to help?” “I want to help, too!” cried Jesse. Shortly after 7: 00 pm, Mama got home. She saw her three sons laughing as they worked together setting the mismatched plates and forks. In the middle of the table she eyed an old baby food jar with a flowering weed that was pulled from the front yard. “Mmm-mm! Is that your famous bean and rice casserole?” Mama asked. “Mama, you’re home!” the two younger boys said as they raced to hug her. After the dinner, Mama stood behind Dwayne as he sat at the kitchen table, starting to write the beginning of his composition. “Son, what are you writing?” “Mama, it’s my composition,” came his reply. “And what is that composition about?” “We’re asked to write about our life,” said Dwayne. Dwayne’s mother looked around at the house. She thought about all the things she wished she could provide for her family. “Dwayne, I’m sorry you don’t have a lot in your life,” his mama said. “I have you and Raymond and Jesse. I live in a house full of love. I wouldn’t trade what we have for all the money in the world.” Pulling her son close, she whispered, “Neither would I, Dwayne.

As teachers, we often love to encourage our students to try new things at a young age. However, I think this is a huge mistake—learning new things at any age is important and it can help us become better. Take myself as an example. I didn’t start playing ice hockey until my early 40s. My son is a huge sports fan and he often asked me to take him to watch games between the big teams. Gradually, I fell in love with the sport, and after a few months, I decided to give it a try. To be honest, it is the hardest sport I’ve ever done. There was so much to learn. In addition to mastering skating skills, I also needed to learn how to pass and shoot. I saw a lot of players get on the ice and pick it up quickly and easily. Yet I was an exception. I was so terrible at skating, but I never thought about giving up. So I took a skating training course, then joined a hockey team and practiced hard in my free time. I finally mastered the skill, though it took me a really long time. Learning hockey has also helped me be a better teacher in some way. Being bad at hockey helps me to understand those students in my class who have difficulty in learning English. I’m not stupid—it just takes me longer to learn and practice a skill before I’m able to do it. Some students are like that too—they might need to hear an explanation 3 to 4 times or need a few more days of practice. It’s good to learn new things, whether they come easily to you or with more difficulty. Maybe you didn’t use the past year to improve yourself or to learn a new skill—but that’s OK!

Chinese architect (建筑师) Liu Jiakun, 68, was awarded the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize on March 4, becoming the second winner from China to receive the highest honor in the field of atchitecture. Based in Chengdu, Liu’s career lasts for forty years with more than 30 projects. He set up Jiakun Architects in 1999 and has built plenty of work, from small, beautifully designed museums to large business buildings and city plans. Instead of following the same style, Liu’s projects include local color and depend on “low-tech” simplicity to achieve beauty, a magazine reported. “He never depends on a recurring (反复出现的) method. Instead, he evaluates (评估) the specific characteristics and requirements of each project differently,” the jury (评审团) said when announcing the award. One of Liu’s most well-known projects was the so-called “rebirth bricks” he created after the terrible Wenchuan earthquake in 2008. To help with rebuilding, Liu made bricks using local wheat fiber, cement (水泥) and rubble (瓦砾) from fallen buildings. More than just recycling, these bricks stood for the rebirth of the material and “the rebirth of the community’s spirit at a time of national mourning”, reported The Guardian. These bricks were later used in his other projects, including the Shuijingfang Museum in Chengdu and the Novartis medicine company in Shanghai. Liu’s design also pay attention to common people. This is shown in his largest project, West Village, a five-floor city complex (综合体) completed in 2015 in Chengdu. The complex includes a soccer field, a market, and paths for cyclists and walkers. With grass growing through holes in the bricks, the project celebrates “the energy of ‘everydayness’,” wrote Austin Williams in 2017. It has become a popular place for city people to spend their free time. “The purpose of architecture is to create a beautiful, just and dignified (有尊严的) living environment. People’s real lives, happiness and dignity are what we work for,” Liu told China Daily. 1．How many projects were the “rebirth bricks” used in? A．8. B．4. C．3. D．30. 2．What does Liu Jiakun do to make his projects unusual? ①He insists on the same style. ②He pays attention to local colour. ③He mixes tradition with modernity. ④He celebrates the energy of common people. ⑤He prefers “low-tech” simplicity to create beauty. A．①③④ B．②④⑤ C．①④⑤ D．②③④ 3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The energy of “everydayness”. B．Liu’s largest project, West Village. C．A market in a five-floor city complex. D．A soccer field in a five-floor city complex. 4．What can be the best title for the passage? A．A project called West Village. B．A project called the "rebirth bricks”. C．An architect famous for recycling bricks. D．An architect famous for unusual styles. Every boy wants to find treasure. And Tom was no different. One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea. “Where can we look for treasure?” asked Huck. “It’s hidden on islands, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in deserted (废弃的) houses.” “Who hides it?” “Robbers (劫匪). You can find a box with a hundred dollars in it, or full of valuable things.” So, one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the deserted house on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely place. And the boys looked at each other in fear. They entered quietly, and searched downstairs. There were cobwebs (蜘蛛网) everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped. “What is it?” whispered Huck, going white with fear. “Keep still! There’s someone downstairs.” The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs. One was an old Spaniard in a wide hat and the other was dirty and unpleasant-looking. The boys shook with fear. Then the Spaniard spoke. It was Joe! Tom and Huck felt even more scared. The men sat down on the floor and ate. Then they lay down and fell asleep. When the two men woke up, the stranger said, “It’s time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from the robbery?” “Let’s keep $30 each and leave the rest here.” The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins. The two boys forgot all their fears. There was real treasure downstairs! 1．Where did Tom and his friends go to find treasure? A．An island. B．A forest. C．A garden. D．A deserted house. 2．What does the underlined word “it” probably refer to? A．The treasure the boys were looking for. B．The wooden floor with holes in it. C．A sound produced by someone. D．Something interesting Huck saw. 3．How did Tom and Huck feel when they saw two men downstairs? A．Curious. B．Sad. C．Excited. D．Afraid. 4．What can you infer from the passage? A．Joe knew Tom was upstairs. B．Tom never heard of Joe before. C．Tom and Huck would try to get the treasure. D．The dirty and unpleasant-looking man was Joe. 5．Why did the boys forget all their fears? A．Because they felt tired after the long trip. B．Because they were surprised at the treasure. C．Because they were so glad to meet Joe again. D．Because they felt relaxed when seeing the treasure. Cook was making little “tuk-tuk-tuk” sounds. Sadio had her hand over her mouth. Hans was trying so hard to understand. Only Godber’s man was enjoying himself. It was his story. “What’s wrong? What’s happened?” “There’s been an awful accident,” cook said. “A man’s been killed.” “A man killed! Where? How? When?” But Godber’s man wanted to tell the story. “You know those little cottages (小屋) just down the road from here, miss?” Of course she knew them. “Well, there’s a young man called Scott living there. He has a horse and cart. Something frightened the horse in town this morning, the cart (马车) turned over, and Scott fell in the road on the back of his head. Killed.” “Dead!” Laura stared at Godber’s man. “Dead when they picked him up,” Godber’s man said. “They were taking the body home as I was coming here.” Then he said, “He’s left a wife and five little ones.” “Jose, come here!” Laura took her sister’s hand and pulled her across the kitchen and through the door. “Jose,” she said, “how can we stop everything?” “Stop everything, Laura!” cried Jose. “What do you mean?” “Stop the garden party, of course.” “Stop the garden party? My dear Laura, don’t be unreasonable. Of course we can’t stop the party. Nobody expects us to. Don’t be so silly.” “But we can’t possibly have a garden party with a man dead just outside the front gate.” That really was silly, because the Sheridans’ house was on a hill, and the cottages were right down at the bottom of the hill. There was a wide road between them. True, they were still much too near. They were not suitable neighbours for people like the Sheridans. The cottages were ugly little low brown things. Nothing but rubbish grew in their gardens. Even the smoke coming from their chimneys (烟囱) looked poor. The people who lived in them lived by washing other people’s clothes, or mending shoes or cleaning chimneys. And they all had far too many children. When the Sheridan children were little, they were not allowed to go near the cottages, for fear that they heard bad language or caught some awful disease. But now that they were grown up, Laura and Laurie sometimes walked past. It was dirty and unpleasant, but Laura and Laurie believed that they should experience all sides of life. They must go everywhere; the must see everything. “Think how that poor woman will feel if she hears a band playing,” said Laura. “Oh, Laura!” Jose began to be seriously angry. “If you want to stop a band every time someone has an accident, you’re going to have a very difficult life. I’m just as sorry about it as you are.” 1．What were Scott’s living conditions like? A．Poor. B．Safe. C．Modern. D．Comfortable. 2．What can we learn about the Sheridan family? A．The Sheridan children knew Scott well. B．The Sheridan family lived a challenging life. C．The Sheridan family planned to have a party. D．The Sheridan children liked going near the cottages. 3．Which is the correct order of the following events? a. Godber’s man told the story. b. Scott died in a cart accident. c. Laura and Laurie sometimes walked past. d. Laura suggested cancelling the garden party. A．c-d-b-a B．c-b-a-d C．b-c-a-d D．d-c-b-a 4．What does the underlined sentence “There was a wide road between them” symbolize (象征)? A．It symbolizes Scott lived far from Laura. B．It symbolizes the poor lived near the rich. C．It symbolizes the poor received care from the rich. D．It symbolizes the poor was separated from the rich. 5．What might the next paragraph of the passage be about? A．How Jose had fun in the garden party. B．How Laura succeeded in stopping the party. C．How Laura invited Scott’s children to the party. D．How Laurie stopped his two sisters from fighting. The freezing rain beat against my back as I pulled the heavy cab through the icy streets. My hooves (蹄) slipped on the frozen stones, but the driver John kept pulling the rope. “Move faster, you lazy animal!” he shouted. I could see my breath turning white in the air, my sides moving up and down rapidly. When the wheel stuck in a rut, the whip (鞭子) cracked near my ear. “Lift your feet!” John screamed. I pushed as hard as I could, my wet fur felt heavy on my neck. As the carriage finally moved, I heard a scary noise from the wooden parts of the carriage. “Sir, this horse is struggling,” a lady passenger called out, looking carefully through the cab window. “His legs are shaking!” “Don’t worry, madam. He’s strong as an ox,” John lied, snapping the whip again: My right horseshoe had been loose for days, sending sharp pain through my leg with every step. At the blacksmith’s shop, I tried to slow down. Old Mr. Clay ran out with his lantern. “Stop! That horse is losing a shoe!” he cried. But John just laughed. “No time for your nonsense!” Rainwater mixed with the salt from my eyes. I remembered kind Mr. Gordon, my first owner, who would check my hooves daily and feed me sugar cubes. Since being sold to this cab company, no one had touched my sweaty neck gently or spoken gentle words to me. Back in the stable at midnight, my swollen leg kept shaking as I chewed (咀嚼) rotten hay. Ginger, the old female horse next door, nosed through the wooden boards. “Stay strong,” she whispered. “Humans think we’re machines that never break.” Moonlight through the broken roof showed the frozen water in the corner. I lowered my aching head, wondering if spring would ever come. —Adapted from Black Beauty by Anna Sewell 1．In which season did the story take place? A．Spring. B．Summer. C．Autumn.

Damien Degbo, 53, teaches his students kung fu and tai chi there. For him, Chinese martial arts are more than just exercise. They’re a way of life and a bridge between Benin and China.

He learnt how to practice calligraphy, tea preparation and traditional Chinese medicine. Now, Degbo’s club has more than 350 students.

Jay Stone rolled out of bed. He did a couple of quick wake-up exercises and then he went over to his mirror (镜子) and looked at himself. “Not bad, Stone, not bad,” he said to himself and smiled. Maybe he wasn’t ready for Hollywood, but with his dark brown eyes and his thick brown hair, he had the looks that turned girls’ heads. He moved closer to the mirror and smiled, checking his teeth. “Perfect,” he thought. “Good enough for a toothpaste ad.” As his eyes moved down to his strong arms, he smiled again. The hours he spent in the gym and doing sit-ups have paid off. But suddenly, the smile froze. His eyes moved from the upper part of his body down to his legs. His legs were short. Not just short, but far too short for his body. He had the upper body of a six-footer, but because of his legs he was much less than six feet! Six inches less! Sitting, he was as tall as almost anyone. Standing, he had to look up at most of the boys and even many of the girls. Why didn’t his legs grow with the rest of his body? He was one of the shortest boys in his class. He was the shortest in his own family, he was even shorter than his “little” sister—by three inches! Where did his legs come from? He certainly didn’t get them from his parents. They were both quite tall. Looking through old family photos, he found the answer. It was his grandfather on his mother’s side. His short legs were a gift from Grandpa Tuttle. Thanks a lot, Grandpa! Of course, the kids at school all noticed Jay’s short legs and they had a nickname (外号) for him: Stubs! Almost no one called him by his real name; they all called him Stubs. Stubs Stone, Jay didn’t like his nickname, but he had to accept it. He had no choice. But Jay couldn’t see in the mirror what his legs could do. They were quick and strong. He was the youngest player on the Brewer High football team. He could run faster than anyone else in the team and, like a rabbit, he kept going and going. Even at basketball, where the other players were much taller than him, they were still afraid of him because of his speed. Jay shook his head. “Stubs, Stubs Stone, the kid with stubby legs. Yeah, that’s me,” he said to himself with a little smile. Suddenly, he heard his mother’s voice. “Jay! It’s breakfast time!” 1．What did Jay do after he got up on the Monday morning? A．He did some housework. B．He took some family photos. C．He watched TV for some time. D．He did some wake-up exercises. 2．What can we learn about Jay in paragraphs 2—4? A．He was satisfied with his looks. B．He wanted to be a film actor. C．He once played a role in an ad. D．He found it useless to do sit-ups. 3．What does the underlined word “froze” probably mean in paragraph 5? A．Spread. B．Stopped. C．Continued. D．Returned. 4．Which of the following best describes Jay? A．Strict and serious. B．Clever and helpful. C．Funny and confident. D．Patient and hard-working. 5．What does the writer mainly want to tell in the passage? A．Teenagers like to play tricks on each other. B．Teenagers should have dreams in their hearts. C．People’s legs usually grow with other body parts. D．People can turn their weak points into advantages. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文讲述了Jay Stone对自己外貌的看法以及他如何利用自己的短腿优势在运动中取得成功的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“He did a couple of quick wake-up exercises and then he went over to his mirror (镜子) and looked at himself.”可知，他起床后做了一些唤醒锻炼。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Maybe he wasn’t ready for Hollywood, but with his dark brown eyes and his thick brown hair, he had the looks that turned girls’ heads.”及“‘Perfect,’ he thought. ‘Good enough for a toothpaste ad.’”可知，他认为自己的外貌能够吸引女孩的眼球，并且是很完美的，足够做牙膏广告了，因此可知他很满意自己的外貌。故选A。 3．词义猜测题。根据“But suddenly, the smile froze. His eyes moved from the upper part of his body down to his legs. His legs were short.”可知，他看到了自己的短腿，因此笑容突然停止了，划线单词表示“停止”。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“Maybe he wasn’t ready for Hollywood, but with his dark brown eyes and his thick brown hair, he had the looks that turned girls’ heads.”及“‘Perfect,’ he thought. ‘Good enough for a toothpaste ad.’”可知，他对自己的外貌很满意，说明他是自信的；根据“Jay shook his head. ‘Stubs, Stubs Stone, the kid with stubby legs. Yeah, that’s me,’ he said to himself with a little smile.”可知，他自言自语说自己就是这个短腿的孩子，说明他是有趣的。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。根据“But Jay couldn’t see in the mirror what his legs could do. They were quick and strong.”及全文可知，本文主要讲述了Jay Stone把自己的短腿这一劣势变成了优势的故事，从而告诉人们可以把自己劣势变成优势。故选D。 When Mark walked empty-handed up the sand, the sun was shining brightly. The watching children were as disappointed as he was. They looked at each other and spoke softly so he couldn’t hear. “Is that all?” “Is he giving up?” But Mark wasn’t giving up. He rested on the hot sand. He ate some chocolate biscuits and fed energy back into his body. Slowly his strength and determination returned. “Would the crayfish(鳌虾) still be there?” He wondered. Mark knew crayfish usually hid in the darkness beneath rocks, only coming out at night to feed. How long would his crayfish remain there before it went back under the rocks? Mark forced himself to be patient. He lay on his back in the sun, eyes closed, nearly asleep. Excitement and speed would only waste energy. Finally Mark rose and went back into the water. The children, watching from the shore, were silent. They waited, twisting(缠绕) curls of hair in their fingers, digging their teeth into their knees. Out in the bay, the crayfish was still there. Its feelers moved in the currents(水流). Mark took long, slow, deep breaths. He cheered himself up with encouraging words, “I can do it. I can. I can do it.” Over and over he told himself, hoping his mind would get the idea and believe it. Down he dived. Down. Down. Down. Lungs bursting, ears popping, eyes painful. Nearly there. Pressure(压力), Pressure. He reached out his hands. Reaching. Reaching. But it was no good. He couldn’t make it. Only an arm’s length away, but he couldn’t reach the crayfish. Up he went. Tired, burning, disappointed, annoyed. Floating on the surface, he told himself off. “You hurried too much. Take your time. Prepare yourself. Don’t dive until everything feels right,” he spoke to himself calmly, and he felt the confidence building up inside him. “I can do it. I can do it.” He felt good. It was going to be a good dive. Breathing deeply, relaxing, concentrating. Three more breaths. One, two, three. Down! 1．What was the weather like in the story? A．Sunny. B．Windy. C．Cloudy.

B．What Mark did to reduce his pressure. C．How Mark kept trying to get the crayfish. D．How Mark prepared himself well for diving. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文讲述了Mark捉小龙虾的过程以及岸上其他孩子们观看的情况。 1．细节理解题。根据“When Mark walked empty-handed up the sand, the sun was shining brightly.”可知，那天天气很好，阳光明媚，故选A。 2．词义猜测题。根据“Mark knew crayfish usually hid in the darkness beneath rocks, only coming out at night to feed. How long would his crayfish remain there before it went back under the rocks?”可知，小龙虾通常躲在黑暗的岩石下面，只在晚上出来觅食，单词“beneath”指的是“在……下方”，故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“They looked at each other and spoke softly so he couldn’t hear. ‘Is that all?’ ‘Is he giving up?’ ”以及划线句子可知，岸边观看的孩子原本以为Mark放弃了，但是Mark休息之后又振作起来了，再次下到水里，孩子们都在为他这次能否抓住小龙虾而紧张，故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“ ‘You hurried too much. Take your time. Prepare yourself. Don’t dive until everything feels right,’ he spoke to himself calmly, and he felt the confidence building up inside him. ‘I can do it. I can do it.’ He felt good”可知，Mark正在建立他的信心，故选B。 5．主旨大意题。根据整个文章的介绍可知，主要介绍在阳光明媚的一天，Mark试图抓小龙虾的故事，故选C。 【热点话题练习】 Scene I (On a cold night, Buck, the half-dog and half-wolf, sits with his kind master John.

I can feel it in my blood.”可知，荒野在呼唤Buck，Buck能从血液中感受到；据此可以推断，划线单词“it”指代前一句中提到的“the call of the wild (野性的呼唤)”。故选C。 4．推理判断题。Buck与John的离别充满不舍 (“crying”、“smiling sadly”)，John叹气、Buck犹豫，体现了悲伤气氛；又根据“I’d do anything for you.”、“Follow your heart.”以及“You’ll always be my family, no matter where you are.”可知，两人相互救赎的情感，令人感动。故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据“But the forest, the wolves ... they’re part of me too.”可知，Buck已强调野性是自我认同的一部分，所以Buck奔向荒野后，最合理的发展是尝试适应新生活。故选A。 Sixteen-year-old Ava, once a quiet and proud school magazine editor (编辑) lost her confidence after losing her position. To find herself again, she went hiking in the mountains. This wasn’t just a hike to clear her mind. Ava was on a journey to rediscover herself. Though the road was difficult, each step filled her spirit with new energy. While walking through a hard part of the path, she saw something strange—a young eagle lying on the ground, hurt and unable to fly. It looked weak and helpless after last night’s storm. Ava felt sad and wanted to help it. Right away, she made a camp near the bird and gave it water and food. The eagle watched her carefully, backing away at first. But Ava stayed, speaking softly with endless patience. Day after day, she returned to help the eagle. She built it a small home, gently cleaned its wounded wing, and made sure it had enough food. Sometimes Ava wondered whether she was making a difference. Yet, as the eagle grew stronger, so did she. Weeks later, Ava found the eagle standing tall on a rock, spreading its wings wide to face the rising sun. It got well completely. A deep sense of peace filled Ava’s heart—something she hadn’t felt in a long time. She saved the bird, but by doing so, she had found her own hidden strength. Ava watched the bird flying with tears in her eyes—joy and sadness mixed together. The bird was free, and in that moment, she felt free too. Sometimes, helping others is the only way to discover the courage we’ve hidden inside. 1．Why did Ava go to the mountains? A．She wanted to help the eagle. B．She went to rediscover herself. C．She enjoyed hiking on her own. D．She planned camping near the bird. 2．How did Ava help the eagle? A．She kept it in a cage. B．She trained the bird to fly. C．She gave it food and water.

A．The Brave Young Eagle B．A Difficult Mountain Climb C．Ava’s School Magazine Job D．The Strength from Helping Others 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述艾娃失去校刊编辑职位后去山里徒步，期间帮助受伤的老鹰恢复健康，在此过程中她重新发现自我，体会到帮助他人带来的力量 。 1．细节理解题。根据“To find herself again, she went hiking in the mountains. Ava was on a journey to rediscover herself.”可知，艾娃去山里是为了重新发现自己，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Right away, she made a camp near the bird and gave it water and food.”以及“She built it a small home, gently cleaned its wounded wing, and made sure it had enough food.” 可知，艾娃给老鹰提供食物和水来帮助它，故选C。 3．最佳标题题。文章讲述了艾娃帮助受伤的老鹰，在这个过程中重新找回了自己的力量，领悟到帮助他人能发现自己内心隐藏的勇气，“来自帮助他人的力量”最能概括文章主旨，故选D。 As the days went by, Wilbur grew and grew. He ate three big meals a day. He spent long hours lying on his side, half asleep, dreaming pleasant dreams. He enjoyed good health and he put on a lot of weight. One afternoon, the oldest sheep walked into the barn (畜棚) and stopped to pay a call on Wilbur. “Hello!” she said. “Seems to me you’re putting on weight.” “Yes, I guess I am,” replied Wilbur. “At my age it’s a good idea to keep growing.” “I really don’t agree with you,” said the old sheep, “You know why they’re fattening you up, don’t you?” “No,” said Wilbur. “Well, I don’t like to spread bad news,” said the sheep, “but they’re fattening you up because they’re going to kill you, that’s why.” “Kill you. Turn you into smoked bacon (熏猪肉) and ham,” continued the old sheep. “Almost all young pigs get killed by the farmers as soon as the cold weather set in. Everyone is on the list--Lurvy, Zuckerman, even John Arable.” “Stop!” screamed Wilbur. “I don’t want to die! Save me, somebody! Save me!” “Be quiet, Wilbur!” said Charlotte, the spider, who was the best friend of Wilbur. “I can’t be quiet,” screamed Wilbur, jumping up and down. “I don’t want to be killed. I don’t want to die. Is it true what the old sheep says, Charlotte? Is it true they are going to kill me when the cold weather comes? Will I die?” “Well,” said the spider, thought for a while at her web, “the old sheep has seen many poor pigs killed. If she says they plan to kill you, I’m sure it’s true.” “I don’t want to die,” he cried sadly, throwing himself to the ground, “I want to stay alive, right here in my comfortable barn with all my friends. I want to breathe the beautiful air and lie in the beautiful sun.” “You shall not die,” said Charlotte, briskly (轻快地). “What? Really?” cried Wilbur. “Who’s going to save me?” “I am,” said Charlotte. “How?” asked Wilbur. “That remains to be seen.” Charlotte smiled. (Excerpts from Charlotte’s Web) 1．Who thought that putting on weight meant being killed? A．Wilbur B．Lurvy. C．The old sheep. D．Charlotte. 2．What do the underlined sentences show? A．Wilbur didn’t know what the old sheep meant. B．Wilbur was afraid to be killed by the farmers. C．Wilbur didn’t want to listen to the old sheep. D．Wilbur didn’t believe what the old sheep said. 3．How did Wilbur’s feelings change in the text? A．Hopeful→happy→surprised→sad. B．Happy→sad→hopeful→surprised. C．Surprised→happy→sad→hopeful. D．Happy→surprised→sad→hopeful. 4．What might happen next according to the story? A．Wilbur was surely saved by the old sheep. B．Wilbur was killed by farmers in winter. C．Charlotte saved Wilbur and he remained alive. D．Farmers were angry with Charlotte and killed her. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇故事性短文，节选自《夏洛的网》。文章通过小猪威尔伯与老羊和蜘蛛夏洛的对话，展现了威尔伯得知自己可能被宰杀后的恐惧以及夏洛的安慰和承诺，体现了友情和希望的主题。 1．细节理解题。根据文章中“‘Well, I don’t like to spread bad news,’ said the sheep, ‘but they’re fattening you up because they’re going to kill you, that’s why.’”可知，是老羊认为增重意味着会被杀掉。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据文章中“‘Stop!’ screamed Wilbur. ‘I don’t want to die! Save me, somebody! Save me!’”以及后续Wilbur的哭喊“‘I don’t want to be killed. I don’t want to die...’”可以推断，Wilbur非常害怕被农民杀掉。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章内容，Wilbur一开始享受着美好的生活，感到快乐（“He enjoyed good health and he put on a lot of weight.”）；当老羊告诉他增重意味着会被杀掉时，他感到惊讶（“‘No,’ said Wilbur.”表示他之前并不知道）；接着他感到悲伤，因为不想死（“‘I don’t want to die!’ screamed Wilbur.”）；最后，当Charlotte说会救他时，他又燃起了希望（“‘You shall not die,’ said Charlotte, briskly.”）。因此，Wilbur的感情变化是快乐→惊讶→悲伤→希望。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后“‘I am,’ said Charlotte.”以及“‘That remains to be seen.’ Charlotte smiled.”可以推断，Charlotte承诺会救Wilbur，并且她看起来很有信心。因此，接下来可能发生的是Charlotte救了Wilbur，使他得以存活。故选C。 (Sue and her family are new to the village.

The three of them were desperately (不顾一切地) pulling and pushing at the boat, and calling each other names, but something was wrong with the ropes and the boat wouldn’t move. I stood away from them, watching the sea, black and calm and deadly. My head was full of ideas, and I was thinking hard, but I couldn’t see any chance of survival for us. You think I’m a coward (懦夫), because I just stood there, but what would you do? You can’t tell—nobody can. I needed time…” He was breathing quickly. He was not speaking to me, but seemed to be on trial (审判) in front of an unseen judge, who was responsible for his soul. This was a matter too difficult for the court of inquiry (调查法庭) to decide. It was about the true nature of life, about light and darkness, truth and lies, good and evil. As he spoke, his eyes shone. “Ever since I was a boy, I’ve been preparing myself for difficulties and danger. I was ready. I tell you! Ready for anything! But—‘and the light went out of his face’—this was so unexpected! Well, I’ll tell you the rest. As I was standing there on the bridge, the second engineer ran up and begged me to help them. I pushed him away, in fact I hit him. ‘Won’t you save your own life—you coward?’ he cried. Coward! That’s what he called me. Ha! Ha! Ha!” Jim threw himself back in his chair and laughed loudly. I had never heard anything as bitter (痛苦) as that noise. All around us on the veranda (游廊) conversation stopped. People stared at him. After a while he continued with his story. I was saying to the Patta (帕特纳号). “Sink! Go on, sink!” I wanted it to finish. Then in the sky I saw a big black thunder cloud coming towards us, and I knew the ship couldn’t survive a storm. I saw that George, the third engineer, had now joined the other three, who were still trying to get the boat lowered. Suddenly George fell backwards, and lay without moving on the deck. He was dead. Heart trouble, I think. And just then there was a loud crash as the captain and the two others managed to get the boat down into the water. They were in the boat, and I could hear them shouting from below, “Jump, George! Jump!” Jim trembled (颤抖) a little, and then sat very still, as he relived (再次体验) the awful moment. “There were eight hundred living people on that ship, and they were shouting for the one dead man to jump! ‘Jump, George, we’ll catch you!’ I felt the ship move—I thought she was going down, under me…” Jim put his hand to his head again, and paused for a moment. “I had jumped…it seems,” he added. His clear blue eyes looked miserably (痛苦地) at me, and I felt like an old man helplessly watching a childish disaster. “It seems you did,” I agreed. “When I was in the boat, I wished I could die. But I couldn’t go back. I’d jumped into an everlasting deep hole…” 1．Why did the three persons push and pull at the boat? A．The sea was too stormy. B．The boat was too heavy.

He was dead. Heart trouble, I think.”可知乔治死于心脏病，故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“Jim threw himself back in his chair and laughed loudly.

Feeling frightened, he ran out of the forest. He saw a farmhouse and found that the door of the cow stall was open. So he decided to hide himself under the straw. “What are you doing? You are staying in a place of a farmer, it is very dangerous!” said a cow. “No one will find me if you don’t tell others where I am,” said the deer, “and I shall be off again on the first chance.” As evening came, a farm worker went to feed the cows, but did not find the deer. Later, one more farm worker came in and out. The deer was still safe. All seemed right. The deer felt quite safe and began to thank the cows for their warm welcome. “Wait a while,” said one of them, “we really wish you well, but there is yet another person. It seems he has a hundred eyes. If he happens to come here, you will truly be in danger!” While the cow was speaking, the farmer had just finished his dinner. “I haven’t been to the cow stall for a long time, so I should go to see them and make sure all the cows are safe for the night,” he thought and he did. When he went up to the stall, he found there was little straw and the stall was very dirty. He felt strange, so he looked around carefully.

As teachers, we often love to encourage our students to try new things at a young age. However, I think this is a huge mistake—learning new things at any age is important and it can help us become better. Take myself as an example. I didn’t start playing ice hockey until my early 40s. My son is a huge sports fan and he often asked me to take him to watch games between the big teams. Gradually, I fell in love with the sport, and after a few months, I decided to give it a try. To be honest, it is the hardest sport I’ve ever done. There was so much to learn. In addition to mastering skating skills, I also needed to learn how to pass and shoot. I saw a lot of players get on the ice and pick it up quickly and easily. Yet I was an exception. I was so terrible at skating, but I never thought about giving up. So I took a skating training course, then joined a hockey team and practiced hard in my free time. I finally mastered the skill, though it took me a really long time. Learning hockey has also helped me be a better teacher in some way. Being bad at hockey helps me to understand those students in my class who have difficulty in learning English. I’m not stupid—it just takes me longer to learn and practice a skill before I’m able to do it. Some students are like that too—they might need to hear an explanation 3 to 4 times or need a few more days of practice. It’s good to learn new things, whether they come easily to you or with more difficulty. Maybe you didn’t use the past year to improve yourself or to learn a new skill—but that’s OK! It won’t be late to start anything at any time. 1．What does “the huge mistake” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．Learning sports with children. B．Playing ice hockey at a young age. C．Keeping students trying new things. D．Stopping learning new things because of age. 2．According to paragraphs 3 and 4, what does the author want to tell to the students? ①Practice makes perfect.    ②Be patient with yourselves.    ③Actions speak louder than words. A．①② B．①③ C．②③ D．①②③ 3．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To explain some rules of playing ice hockey. B．To encourage people to try new things. C．To call on people to take exercise. D．To teach how to learn English. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者自己学习冰球的经历，并鼓励人们尝试新事物。 1．词句猜测题。根据“As teachers, we often love to encourage our students to try new things at a young age. However, I think this is a huge mistake—learning new things at any age is important and it can help us become better.”可知，第一段中的巨大错误是指因为年龄而停止学习新事物。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“I was so terrible at skating, but I never thought about giving up. So I took a skating training course, then joined a hockey team and practiced hard in my free time”可知，我滑冰很糟糕，但我从未想过要放弃。所以我参加了一个滑冰训练班，然后加入了一个曲棍球队，在我的空闲时间努力练习；根据“I’m not stupid—it just takes me longer to learn and practice a skill before I’m able to do it. Some students are like that too—they might need to hear an explanation 3 to 4 times or need a few more days of practice.”可知，我并不笨——只是在我能做一件事之前，我需要花更长的时间来学习和练习一项技能。有些学生也是这样，他们可能需要听3到4次解释，或者需要多练习几天。故作者在第三段和第四段告诉我们熟能生巧以及对自己要有耐心，即①②。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。根据“It won’t be late to start anything at any time”及作者个人经历可知，写作目的是鼓励人们勇于尝试新事物。故选B。 Chinese architect (建筑师) Liu Jiakun, 68, was awarded the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize on March 4, becoming the second winner from China to receive the highest honor in the field of atchitecture. Based in Chengdu, Liu’s career lasts for forty years with more than 30 projects. He set up Jiakun Architects in 1999 and has built plenty of work, from small, beautifully designed museums to large business buildings and city plans. Instead of following the same style, Liu’s projects include local color and depend on “low-tech” simplicity to achieve beauty, a magazine reported. “He never depends on a recurring (反复出现的) method. Instead, he evaluates (评估) the specific characteristics and requirements of each project differently,” the jury (评审团) said when announcing the award. One of Liu’s most well-known projects was the so-called “rebirth bricks” he created after the terrible Wenchuan earthquake in 2008. To help with rebuilding, Liu made bricks using local wheat fiber, cement (水泥) and rubble (瓦砾) from fallen buildings. More than just recycling, these bricks stood for the rebirth of the material and “the rebirth of the community’s spirit at a time of national mourning”, reported The Guardian. These bricks were later used in his other projects, including the Shuijingfang Museum in Chengdu and the Novartis medicine company in Shanghai. Liu’s design also pay attention to common people. This is shown in his largest project, West Village, a five-floor city complex (综合体) completed in 2015 in Chengdu. The complex includes a soccer field, a market, and paths for cyclists and walkers. With grass growing through holes in the bricks, the project celebrates “the energy of ‘everydayness’,” wrote Austin Williams in 2017. It has become a popular place for city people to spend their free time. “The purpose of architecture is to create a beautiful, just and dignified (有尊严的) living environment. People’s real lives, happiness and dignity are what we work for,” Liu told China Daily. 1．How many projects were the “rebirth bricks” used in? A．8. B．4. C．3. D．30. 2．What does Liu Jiakun do to make his projects unusual? ①He insists on the same style. ②He pays attention to local colour. ③He mixes tradition with modernity. ④He celebrates the energy of common people. ⑤He prefers “low-tech” simplicity to create beauty. A．①③④ B．②④⑤ C．①④⑤ D．②③④ 3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The energy of “everydayness”. B．Liu’s largest project, West Village. C．A market in a five-floor city complex. D．A soccer field in a five-floor city complex. 4．What can be the best title for the passage? A．A project called West Village. B．A project called the "rebirth bricks”. C．An architect famous for recycling bricks. D．An architect famous for unusual styles. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇人物报道，主要介绍了中国建筑师刘家琨获得2025年普利兹克建筑奖的事迹，重点阐述了他的设计理念、代表作品（如“再生砖”和“西村”项目）以及他对建筑人文价值的追求。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第3段“These bricks were later used in his other projects, including the Shuijingfang Museum in Chengdu and the Novartis medicine company in Shanghai.”可知，“再生砖”被用于两个具体项目（水井坊博物馆和诺华制药公司），加上2008年汶川地震后的重建项目，共3个。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第2段“Liu’s projects include local color and depend on ‘low-tech’ simplicity to achieve beauty”对应②⑤；第4段“Liu’s design also pay attention to common people”及“celebrates ‘the energy of everydayness’”对应④。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据“his largest project, West Village… It has become a popular place…”可知，“it”指代前文提到的“西村”项目。故选B。 4．最佳标题。根据“Based in Chengdu, Liu’s career lasts for forty years with more than 30 projects”以及全文围绕刘家琨的建筑风格（不重复、本土化、低技术美学）展开可知，D项“以独特风格闻名的建筑师”最全面。故选D。 Every boy wants to find treasure. And Tom was no different. One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea. “Where can we look for treasure?” asked Huck. “It’s hidden on islands, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in deserted (废弃的) houses.” “Who hides it?” “Robbers (劫匪). You can find a box with a hundred dollars in it, or full of valuable things.” So, one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the deserted house on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely place. And the boys looked at each other in fear. They entered quietly, and searched downstairs. There were cobwebs (蜘蛛网) everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped. “What is it?” whispered Huck, going white with fear. “Keep still! There’s someone downstairs.” The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs. One was an old Spaniard in a wide hat and the other was dirty and unpleasant-looking. The boys shook with fear. Then the Spaniard spoke. It was Joe! Tom and Huck felt even more scared. The men sat down on the floor and ate. Then they lay down and fell asleep. When the two men woke up, the stranger said, “It’s time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from the robbery?” “Let’s keep $30 each and leave the rest here.” The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins. The two boys forgot all their fears. There was real treasure downstairs! 1．Where did Tom and his friends go to find treasure? A．An island. B．A forest. C．A garden. D．A deserted house. 2．What does the underlined word “it” probably refer to? A．The treasure the boys were looking for. B．The wooden floor with holes in it.

D．Afraid. 4．What can you infer from the passage? A．Joe knew Tom was upstairs. B．Tom never heard of Joe before. C．Tom and Huck would try to get the treasure. D．The dirty and unpleasant-looking man was Joe. 5．Why did the boys forget all their fears? A．Because they felt tired after the long trip. B．Because they were surprised at the treasure. C．Because they were so glad to meet Joe again. D．Because they felt relaxed when seeing the treasure. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲了汤姆和哈克在卡迪夫山的废弃房子里寻找宝藏时，偶遇两个劫匪并发现了真宝藏。 1．细节理解题。根据“So, one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the deserted house on Cardiff Hill.”可知，他们去了一座废弃的房子寻找宝藏。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据上文“Keep still! There’s someone downstairs.”可知，汤姆让哈克保持安静，因为楼下有人，所以“it”指的是有人发出的声音。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“The boys shook with fear.”可知，看到楼下的两个人时，汤姆和哈克感到害怕。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“The two boys forgot all their fears. There was real treasure downstairs!”可推断，汤姆和哈克知道楼下有真的宝藏后，可能会设法得到这些宝藏。故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据“The two boys forgot all their fears.

Only Godber’s man was enjoying himself. It was his story. “What’s wrong? What’s happened?” “There’s been an awful accident,” cook said. “A man’s been killed.” “A man killed! Where? How? When?” But Godber’s man wanted to tell the story. “You know those little cottages (小屋) just down the road from here, miss?” Of course she knew them. “Well, there’s a young man called Scott living there. He has a horse and cart. Something frightened the horse in town this morning, the cart (马车) turned over, and Scott fell in the road on the back of his head. Killed.” “Dead!” Laura stared at Godber’s man. “Dead when they picked him up,” Godber’s man said. “They were taking the body home as I was coming here.” Then he said, “He’s left a wife and five little ones.” “Jose, come here!” Laura took her sister’s hand and pulled her across the kitchen and through the door. “Jose,” she said, “how can we stop everything?” “Stop everything, Laura!” cried Jose. “What do you mean?” “Stop the garden party, of course.” “Stop the garden party? My dear Laura, don’t be unreasonable. Of course we can’t stop the party. Nobody expects us to. Don’t be so silly.” “But we can’t possibly have a garden party with a man dead just outside the front gate.” That really was silly, because the Sheridans’ house was on a hill, and the cottages were right down at the bottom of the hill. There was a wide road between them. True, they were still much too near. They were not suitable neighbours for people like the Sheridans. The cottages were ugly little low brown things. Nothing but rubbish grew in their gardens. Even the smoke coming from their chimneys (烟囱) looked poor. The people who lived in them lived by washing other people’s clothes, or mending shoes or cleaning chimneys. And they all had far too many children. When the Sheridan children were little, they were not allowed to go near the cottages, for fear that they heard bad language or caught some awful disease. But now that they were grown up, Laura and Laurie sometimes walked past. It was dirty and unpleasant, but Laura and Laurie believed that they should experience all sides of life. They must go everywhere; the must see everything. “Think how that poor woman will feel if she hears a band playing,” said Laura. “Oh, Laura!” Jose began to be seriously angry. “If you want to stop a band every time someone has an accident, you’re going to have a very difficult life. I’m just as sorry about it as you are.” 1．What were Scott’s living conditions like? A．Poor. B．Safe. C．Modern. D．Comfortable. 2．What can we learn about the Sheridan family? A．The Sheridan children knew Scott well. B．The Sheridan family lived a challenging life. C．The Sheridan family planned to have a party. D．The Sheridan children liked going near the cottages. 3．Which is the correct order of the following events? a. Godber’s man told the story. b. Scott died in a cart accident. c. Laura and Laurie sometimes walked past. d. Laura suggested cancelling the garden party. A．c-d-b-a B．c-b-a-d C．b-c-a-d D．d-c-b-a 4．What does the underlined sentence “There was a wide road between them” symbolize (象征)? A．It symbolizes Scott lived far from Laura. B．It symbolizes the poor lived near the rich. C．It symbolizes the poor received care from the rich. D．It symbolizes the poor was separated from the rich. 5．What might the next paragraph of the passage be about? A．How Jose had fun in the garden party. B．How Laura succeeded in stopping the party. C．How Laura invited Scott’s children to the party. D．How Laurie stopped his two sisters from fighting. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文讲述了Sheridan家的Laura在得知附近贫民区一位名叫Scott的男子因马车事故身亡后，与姐姐Jose就是否取消即将举行的花园派对发生争执的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“The cottages were ugly little low brown things. Nothing but rubbish grew in their gardens. Even the smoke coming from their chimneys (烟囱) looked poor.”可知，那些小木房又矮又丑，全是褐色。它们的院子里只长些杂草。连烟囱里冒出来的烟都显得灰暗。这些细节表明他的生活条件非常贫困。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Stop the garden party, of course...Stop the garden party? My dear Laura, don’t be unreasonable. Of course we can’t stop the party. Nobody expects us to.”可知，Laura和Jose在讨论是否要取消“garden party”，说明Sheridan家正在筹备一个派对。故选C。 3．细节理解题。通读全文可知，以下事件发生的正确顺序应该先是c“Laura和Laurie偶尔路过小屋”；接着b“Scott死于马车事故”；然后是a“Godber的人讲述这个故事”；最后是d“Laura建议取消花园派对”，所以顺序是c-b-a-d，故选B。 4．词句猜测题。根据“That really was silly, because the Sheridans’ house was on a hill, and the cottages were right down at the bottom of the hill. There was a wide road between them.”可知，Sheridan家住在山上，而穷人的小屋在山脚下，虽然地理上很近，但社会地位和经济条件相差甚远。这条宽阔的道路象征着贫富之间的隔阂。因此“There was a wide road between them.”表示“它象征着穷人跟富人的隔阂。”故选D。 5．推理判断题。根据“‘Think how that poor woman will feel if she hears a band playing,’ said Laura.”和“If you want to stop a band every time someone has an accident, you’re going to have a very difficult life. I’m just as sorry about it as you are.”可知，Laura和Jose正在争论是否要取消派对，气氛紧张。推测下一段最可能的发展是Laura如何成功说服Jose停止开派对。选项B“劳拉是如何成功地阻止了这次聚会的。”符合。故选B。 The freezing rain beat against my back as I pulled the heavy cab through the icy streets. My hooves (蹄) slipped on the frozen stones, but the driver John kept pulling the rope. “Move faster, you lazy animal!” he shouted. I could see my breath turning white in the air, my sides moving up and down rapidly. When the wheel stuck in a rut, the whip (鞭子) cracked near my ear. “Lift your feet!” John screamed. I pushed as hard as I could, my wet fur felt heavy on my neck. As the carriage finally moved, I heard a scary noise from the wooden parts of the carriage. “Sir, this horse is struggling,” a lady passenger called out, looking carefully through the cab window. “His legs are shaking!” “Don’t worry, madam. He’s strong as an ox,” John lied, snapping the whip again: My right horseshoe had been loose for days, sending sharp pain through my leg with every step. At the blacksmith’s shop, I tried to slow down. Old Mr. Clay ran out with his lantern. “Stop! That horse is losing a shoe!” he cried. But John just laughed. “No time for your nonsense!” Rainwater mixed with the salt from my eyes. I remembered kind Mr. Gordon, my first owner, who would check my hooves daily and feed me sugar cubes. Since being sold to this cab company, no one had touched my sweaty neck gently or spoken gentle words to me. Back in the stable at midnight, my swollen leg kept shaking as I chewed (咀嚼) rotten hay. Ginger, the old female horse next door, nosed through the wooden boards. “Stay strong,” she whispered. “Humans think we’re machines that never break.” Moonlight through the broken roof showed the frozen water in the corner. I lowered my aching head, wondering if spring would ever come. —Adapted from Black Beauty by Anna Sewell 1．In which season did the story take place? A．Spring. B．Summer. C．Autumn. D．Winter. 2．What does the underlined sentence “Rainwater mixed with the salt from my eyes.” mean? A．Rainwater ran into Black Beauty’s eyes. B．Black Beauty were happy with his work.
