Lilliputians soon began to lose their fear of me. They called me Man-Mountain. Sometimes I lay down and let them dance on my hand, and from time to time children came to play games in my hair. By now I was able to speak their language well. One day the King invited me to watch their regular entertainments. I was most interested in the rope-dancing. A very thin rope was fixed (固定) about thirty centimeters above the ground. People who wanted to become the King’s official s jumped and danced on this rope, and who ever jumped highest without a miss got the best job. There was another interesting entertainment. The King held a stick in front of him, and moved it up and down from time to time. One by one, people came up to him and jumped over the stick or crawled (爬) under it. They went on jumping and crawling as the King moved the stick. The winner, who jumped and crawled for the longest time, received a blue ribbon (绶带) to wear round his waist. The second received a red ribbon, and the third got a green one. I had certainly never seen such entertainments in any of the countries I had visited before. Some days later the King agreed that I didn’t need to be a prisoner any longer. However, I had to promise certain things before I was set free: · to be careful not to step on any Lilliputians or their animals · to help the Lilliputians in war till they win peace (和平) · to stay in Lilliput until the King allowed me to leave I agreed to everything at once. I was free at last! Several weeks after my visit to the country, I was visited by one of the King’s most important officials. His name was Reldresal, and he had helped me many times since I had arrived in Lilliput. “Well, my friend,” he said, “Lilliput has enemies (敌人) both at home and abroad. At home we have two political groups, the High-Heels and the Low-Heels. The two groups hate each other. As the present King and his officials are all Low-Heels, they refuse to speak to High-Heels. That’s the problem inside Lilliput. Besides, we’re getting information that the people of Blefusce are going to attack (攻击) us. Have you heard of Blefusce? It’s an island very near us, almost as large and important as Lilliput. They’ve been at war with us for three years.” — Extracted from Gulliver’s Travels 1．Why did Gulliver try to behave as well as he could in Lilliput? A．Because he wanted to be set free earlier. B．Because the King ordered him to do so. C．Because he was in fear of the Lilliputians. D．Because he was called Man-Mountain. 2．How did Gulliver probably feel when he watched the two entertainments? A．Afraid. B．Surprised. C．Bored. D．Worried. 3．What could be inferred (推断) as the story went on? A．Gulliver would join the High-Heel group. B．Gulliver would visit Blefusce with Reldresal. C．Gulliver would turn to the Low-Heel group for help. D．Gulliver would help the Lilliputians fight against Blefusce. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了格列佛在小人国的经历。 1．细节理解题。根据“I was careful to behave as well as possible, hoping the King would give me freedom early.”可知，格列佛在小人国表现好，是想尽早获得自由。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据“I had certainly never seen such entertainments in any of the countries I had visited before.”可知，格列佛从来没有看过这些娱乐项目，所以他会感到很惊奇。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“However, I had to promise certain things before I was set free…to help the Lilliputians in war till they win peace (和平)”可知，格列佛在获得自由时，答应过国王在战争中帮助利立普特人赢得和平，功打Blefusce。故选D。 Passage 3 (24-25八下·安徽淮南大通区·期末)A big ship was traveling on the sea. Suddenly, it didn’t work and no one could repair it. The ship owner turned to an old worker with rich skills. He checked the important parts of the ship very carefully. Then he took a small hammer (锤子) out of his box and lightly knocked at one of the parts. Soon, the ship started to work again. The worker told the ship owner that the cost of repairing the ship was $10,000. “What?!” the owner said. “You did almost nothing. Tell me why it costs so much.” “The answer is simple. Knock with a hammer: $2. Know where to knock and how to knock: $9,998,” the worker answered. “If I can finish a job in 30 minutes, it’s because I spent 10 years learning how to do it in 30 minutes. You paid me for those 10 years, not the 30 minutes.” Hard practice for a long time can make people successful. Something that looks easy to you or me might take years of hard work. Scientists, actors and sports stars make their work look easy, but that’s because they have been doing it for so long.

Everyone has a certain image. That is what people wish to show to others. Sometimes, we may go out of our way to keep the good image because we want to have a good impression (印象) in others’ hearts. The following four students also tried their best. Zhang Kerun One or two years ago, I thought it was cool to be indifferent (冷漠的) so I didn’t reply to my friends on purpose (故意地). As a result, they began to stay away from me. As the friendship was getting worse, I finally gave up the idea and began to change. Not all images are positive (积极的). Xiao Xihuang I like reading and I want others to see me as a bookworm (书虫). To realize this goal, I go to the library every weekend and spend most of my time reading. When my friends ask me questions, I can answer most of them. It gives me a sense of pride. So I like my image and I will keep it. Pan Jiongming Years ago, I always wanted myself to be considered as a sporty person, but later I failed in a 1,000-meter race. I was sad and made a decision to practice running harder than before. So during the summer vacation, running in the park every day became a part of my daily life. I did more to keep my image and became better. Du Junxian I like making handicrafts (手工艺品) as I wanted to make my classmates feel that I was very excellent. Unluckily, I failed in a handicraft show because I was not good at it at all. From that day on, I realized that I was not talented in DIY and I started to focus on studying. So I made some changes. Now I am better at my study. The so-called “public image” can push one to work harder and become a better person. However, it can stop you from bringing out the best in you.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said, “Have you noticed all the nice-looking expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the cheap ones? It’s OK for you to want only the best for yourselves, but that is why you have the stress in your work and life even if you are very successful now.” “All of you really wanted the coffee, not the cups, but you chose the best cups and were eyeing each other’s cups.” “Now think about this, life is the coffee, and money and position in society are the cups.

Living in South Carolina, the Harrisons often look after wild animals and send them back into the wild when they feel better. They are not expecting to meet these animals again. One October, a wildlife rescue group found a 4-week-old dying squirrel (松鼠) and took her in and then placed her with Brantley and her family. The Harrisons named the squirrel Bella. The little squirrel, with three other ones, all lived together in a cage outside Brantley’s home. They stayed in the Harrisons’ cage until spring. In April of the next year, the Harrisons sent the squirrels back into the wild. The other squirrels soon got used to the wild life. But Bella didn’t. The squirrel wasn’t ready to leave her human family. “Bella usually sits at the front door, waiting for someone to notice her,” Brantley said. Her husband John often brought Bella food, as she was usually waiting by the door for him. Bella became a member of the family. Although they said goodbye, Bella had other plans in mind.

Maurice had a younger sister, Emily, and a younger brother, Felix, who were very outgoing and cute. I talked to them about China, but sometimes I needed to use Google Translate. The family also had two dogs, who always crawled up (爬上) on my legs and played with me. A few days later, we got familiar with each other. On the weekend, we walked a long way to Siegessäule also known as Berlin Victory Column.

Pretty soon, Aunt Gertie is saying, “Let’s have an adventure (冒险)!” Our last adventure together was a trip to the Hawaiian Islands. We went snorkelling (带呼吸管潜水) to see the beautiful fish and underwater plants. But the adventure didn’t start until we caught the plane to the islands. We had a lot to learn before we headed there. We took snorkelling classes at the sports centre. We had to learn how to breathe (呼吸) with a snorkel and how to swim wearing a mask (面罩) and fins (脚蹼). We learned safety skills. Next, we went to buy our equipment. We each got a snorkel. One end goes in our mouth and the other end sticks out of the water. We each bought a face mask to keep water out of our eyes and nose. And we got fins to wear on our feet. The fins help us have more power when we kick our feet as we swim. At last, we were ready to go. We put our clothes and equipment into the bags and went to the airport. As soon as we landed, we checked in at the hotel. We changed our clothes and headed for the beach.

Compared to my peers (同龄人) who grew up in the city, I got the chance to learn more useful skills for daily life. When I was ten years old, I started learning how to cook. The first thing I made was dumplings. After that, I tried making many other kinds of food and fell in love with cooking. Whenever I cook, I feel relaxed, and I think it’s a great way to take a break from the busyness of life. Now living alone, I cook every meal rather than go to the restaurant. It saves money and I don’t have to depend on anyone else to feed me. Besides cooking, I did a lot of farm work in my childhood. I got to know how to plant vegetables. Though it was hard work, the experience taught me things that many of my peers still don’t know. They thought it was a pity that they didn’t have the chance to learn these things in their lives. Some might say we can learn these things from textbooks. But it can’t compare to the joy of watching plants grow. You will value (重视) everything on your plate. This may be why I’m so happy to hear that labor (劳动) education has become a must in China. Students in primary and middle school have had at least one class every week to learn some life skills like cooking and cleaning. Trust me.

So Olivia stopped running around with her mom doing last-minute things for her party. She helped her mom prepare their hurricane safety kit (急救包). While Olivia and her mom were busy at the store buying things, Olivia’s dad was busy helping their neighbor, an old woman, get prepared. When he finished, he returned to their house and covered their windows. When all the preparations were ready, Olivia’s parents brought some things together: their important papers, some family photos, and a few clothes for everyone. They put them in their car. Since Olivia’s grandparents live in Atlanta, Olivia and her family would leave Miami and go stay with them for a few days. Hopefully, they would all be able to return soon.

When he finished, he returned to their house and covered their windows”和“When all the preparations were ready, Olivia’s parents brought some things together”可知，奥利维亚的爸爸正忙着帮助他们的邻居，一位老妇人做准备。当他完成后，他回到他们的房子，并盖上他们的窗户。当所有的准备都准备好了，奥利维亚的父母把一些东西放在一起。故①②③正确。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Sometimes hurricanes change direction (方向). Olivia hoped this would happen”可知，有时飓风会改变方向。奥利维亚希望这一切会发生。故划线单词表示“飓风会改变方向”。故选D。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了奥利维亚一家为即将到来的飓风做准备的故事。故选项C“为飓风做准备”符合。故选C。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 (24-25八下·安徽合肥寿春中学·期中)Liu Yang, the first Chinese woman astronaut, touched many people’s hearts with a letter to her two children before she went into space for the second time.

Lilliputians soon began to lose their fear of me. They called me Man-Mountain. Sometimes I lay down and let them dance on my hand, and from time to time children came to play games in my hair. By now I was able to speak their language well. One day the King invited me to watch their regular entertainments. I was most interested in the rope-dancing. A very thin rope was fixed (固定) about thirty centimeters above the ground. People who wanted to become the King’s official s jumped and danced on this rope, and who ever jumped highest without a miss got the best job. There was another interesting entertainment. The King held a stick in front of him, and moved it up and down from time to time. One by one, people came up to him and jumped over the stick or crawled (爬) under it. They went on jumping and crawling as the King moved the stick. The winner, who jumped and crawled for the longest time, received a blue ribbon (绶带) to wear round his waist. The second received a red ribbon, and the third got a green one. I had certainly never seen such entertainments in any of the countries I had visited before. Some days later the King agreed that I didn’t need to be a prisoner any longer. However, I had to promise certain things before I was set free: · to be careful not to step on any Lilliputians or their animals · to help the Lilliputians in war till they win peace (和平) · to stay in Lilliput until the King allowed me to leave I agreed to everything at once. I was free at last! Several weeks after my visit to the country, I was visited by one of the King’s most important officials. His name was Reldresal, and he had helped me many times since I had arrived in Lilliput. “Well, my friend,” he said, “Lilliput has enemies (敌人) both at home and abroad. At home we have two political groups, the High-Heels and the Low-Heels. The two groups hate each other. As the present King and his officials are all Low-Heels, they refuse to speak to High-Heels. That’s the problem inside Lilliput. Besides, we’re getting information that the people of Blefusce are going to attack (攻击) us. Have you heard of Blefusce? It’s an island very near us, almost as large and important as Lilliput. They’ve been at war with us for three years.” — Extracted from Gulliver’s Travels 1．Why did Gulliver try to behave as well as he could in Lilliput? A．Because he wanted to be set free earlier.

Suddenly, it didn’t work and no one could repair it. The ship owner turned to an old worker with rich skills. He checked the important parts of the ship very carefully. Then he took a small hammer (锤子) out of his box and lightly knocked at one of the parts. Soon, the ship started to work again. The worker told the ship owner that the cost of repairing the ship was $10,000. “What?!” the owner said. “You did almost nothing. Tell me why it costs so much.” “The answer is simple. Knock with a hammer: $2. Know where to knock and how to knock: $9,998,” the worker answered. “If I can finish a job in 30 minutes, it’s because I spent 10 years learning how to do it in 30 minutes. You paid me for those 10 years, not the 30 minutes.” Hard practice for a long time can make people successful. Something that looks easy to you or me might take years of hard work. Scientists, actors and sports stars make their work look easy, but that’s because they have been doing it for so long.

A．A special ship B．A famous worker C．The value of knowledge D．The art of knocking Passage 4 (24-25八下·安徽黄山·期中)I asked my dad if I had ever made him cry before because I couldn’t remember ever seeing him cry. “There was once,” he said. He told me that when I was one year old, he put a pen, a piece of paper money and a toy in front of me. He wanted to see which one I would pick. It’s a tradition that a lot of Chinese people do when their kids are one year old. According to this tradition, it shows what the kid will value most when he or she grows up. For example, if the kid takes the pen, it means he or she will be a clever person in the future. If the kid takes the money, it means he or she will value money more than others and become rich. If the kid takes the toy, it means he or she will like fun things and play a lot. My father was doing it because he was curious (好奇的). It was interesting for him to see which one I would pick. He said that I just sat there and looked at the three things. He sat across from me and waited to see the result. According to him, I moved toward him and he held his breath. Then I pushed everything aside and went right into his arms. Tears (眼泪) came to his eyes. He didn’t realize that he was one of the choices.

They’ll like you when they know real Lucy,” said Dad. Lucy decided to stop trying to be Sophie. She didn’t talk about the show anymore. When people called her Sophie, she corrected (纠正) them.

That is what people wish to show to others. Sometimes, we may go out of our way to keep the good image because we want to have a good impression (印象) in others’ hearts. The following four students also tried their best. Zhang Kerun One or two years ago, I thought it was cool to be indifferent (冷漠的) so I didn’t reply to my friends on purpose (故意地). As a result, they began to stay away from me. As the friendship was getting worse, I finally gave up the idea and began to change. Not all images are positive (积极的). Xiao Xihuang I like reading and I want others to see me as a bookworm (书虫). To realize this goal, I go to the library every weekend and spend most of my time reading. When my friends ask me questions, I can answer most of them. It gives me a sense of pride. So I like my image and I will keep it. Pan Jiongming Years ago, I always wanted myself to be considered as a sporty person, but later I failed in a 1,000-meter race. I was sad and made a decision to practice running harder than before. So during the summer vacation, running in the park every day became a part of my daily life. I did more to keep my image and became better. Du Junxian I like making handicrafts (手工艺品) as I wanted to make my classmates feel that I was very excellent. Unluckily, I failed in a handicraft show because I was not good at it at all. From that day on, I realized that I was not talented in DIY and I started to focus on studying. So I made some changes. Now I am better at my study.

Some of the cups are expensive and lovely, but some are cheap and not beautiful. The teacher told them to help themselves to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said, “Have you noticed all the nice-looking expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the cheap ones? It’s OK for you to want only the best for yourselves, but that is why you have the stress in your work and life even if you are very successful now.” “All of you really wanted the coffee, not the cups, but you chose the best cups and were eyeing each other’s cups.” “Now think about this, life is the coffee, and money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold life. They do not change the quality (质量) of life. Sometimes, we just care about the cups, and we fail to enjoy the coffee.

The farmer told us how these fruits and vegetables make their way from the farm to the table. I only see them in the supermarket or along the roads where some farmers sell them. Then we started picking strawberries. The work seemed easy, but it needed some special skills. Then, we knew how to do it and we filled many baskets.

The family also had two dogs, who always crawled up (爬上) on my legs and played with me. A few days later, we got familiar with each other.

Compared to my peers (同龄人) who grew up in the city, I got the chance to learn more useful skills for daily life. When I was ten years old, I started learning how to cook. The first thing I made was dumplings. After that, I tried making many other kinds of food and fell in love with cooking. Whenever I cook, I feel relaxed, and I think it’s a great way to take a break from the busyness of life. Now living alone, I cook every meal rather than go to the restaurant. It saves money and I don’t have to depend on anyone else to feed me. Besides cooking, I did a lot of farm work in my childhood. I got to know how to plant vegetables. Though it was hard work, the experience taught me things that many of my peers still don’t know. They thought it was a pity that they didn’t have the chance to learn these things in their lives. Some might say we can learn these things from textbooks. But it can’t compare to the joy of watching plants grow. You will value (重视) everything on your plate. This may be why I’m so happy to hear that labor (劳动) education has become a must in China. Students in primary and middle school have had at least one class every week to learn some life skills like cooking and cleaning. Trust me. These life skills will help you a lot. 1．Which is not the good point of getting life skills for the writer? A．Becoming busier. B．Relaxing. C．Valuing food. D．Saving money. 2．Why is the writer happy to hear that labor education has become a must in China? A．Because she teaches students life skills in school. B．Because the life skills can bring good jobs to students. C．Because these life skills will help students a lot. D．Because it’s better to learn life skills in school than at home. 3．What is the best title for the text? A．My Special Country Life B．Cooking and Planting C．Learning by Doing Things D．Labor Skills That Matter Passage 2 (24-25八下·安徽合肥第四十五中学·期中)I would have a 1,500-metre race.

We were having a picnic in the field (田野) and I saw something strange. A white cat with a pink nose was sitting in a tree. There was nothing strange about that, of course, but it was eating the leaves in the tree! That was strange! Cats don’t usually eat leaves. “Probably it’s very hungry,” I thought.
