They argue a lot. People get upset. Sometimes they stop talking. Our family has had lots of ups and downs. I’d say arguments often happen in our family, too. I have an older brother and an older sister. I’m the baby boy in the family. We grew up in a quite small house and often didn’t have a lot of money. My mom and dad argued pretty much, just about anything. My brother and sister argued. And I used to argue, too. But as I got older, I always chose to be the mediator (调停者). I would try to look at both sides of the argument and bring them together to make peace. “Dad, you shouldn’t have said that to Mom, and Mom, try to see it this way.” “Come on guys, we all love each other. It’s just been a bad day.” I’d say it often worked. I learned much growing up in our family: understanding, being patient and the knowledge that sometimes things just don’t go in your way. We all make mistakes. We all say things that we wish we hadn’t done. The key is to try and understand. Of course, sometimes arguments do need to happen.

It was a lovely time to watch families come and go for a warm weekend here in California. After a few hours, I noticed a little girl playing by herself. It looked like she built a sandcastle and was now trying to fill it with water. The sandcastle looked beautiful in the summer sunshine.     Unluckily, there was no container around to carry water. She would go to the waves, cup her hands and then walk back to her little castle. Sadly, not much of the water was kept in her hands every time she returned to the castle. But she kept trying and was still smiling and hopeful. So I wished I could help her out. As I was standing there watching her, I suddenly realized I had a bottle of water in my bag. I quickly took it out and walked over to give it to her. Uncertain of what to do first, she shook her head shyly, saying no. I reassured (安慰) her it would make getting the water faster. She smiled widely and finally took it. Not wanting her to feel uncomfortable, I walked off the beach right away.

Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question: “Why are you here?” I did not know how to answer the question. The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature. I could not understand what he was doing at first, so I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger. A teacher stopped this awkward (adj.尴尬的) silence when she shouted at the boy. “What are you doing right here, right now?” she said. “You will never see your mom again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry,” “Sorry,” he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about this child. After lunch, I asked the teacher for information about the child’s parents. She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford (v.支付得起) to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the support (支持) from the teachers and community service workers like us. I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day. Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better.

They argue a lot. People get upset. Sometimes they stop talking. Our family has had lots of ups and downs. I’d say arguments often happen in our family, too. I have an older brother and an older sister. I’m the baby boy in the family. We grew up in a quite small house and often didn’t have a lot of money. My mom and dad argued pretty much, just about anything. My brother and sister argued. And I used to argue, too. But as I got older, I always chose to be the mediator (调停者). I would try to look at both sides of the argument and bring them together to make peace. “Dad, you shouldn’t have said that to Mom, and Mom, try to see it this way.” “Come on guys, we all love each other. It’s just been a bad day.” I’d say it often worked. I learned much growing up in our family: understanding, being patient and the knowledge that sometimes things just don’t go in your way. We all make mistakes. We all say things that we wish we hadn’t done. The key is to try and understand. Of course, sometimes arguments do need to happen. If something is wrong, it needs to be solved and sometimes, we get angry about it. But as long as we can look at things with an attitude of care and responsibility (责任), we can weather the storm and help each other out. 1．What do we know about the writer’s family?

Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question: “Why are you here?” I did not know how to answer the question. The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature. I could not understand what he was doing at first, so I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger. A teacher stopped this awkward (adj.尴尬的) silence when she shouted at the boy. “What are you doing right here, right now?” she said. “You will never see your mom again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry,” “Sorry,” he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about this child. After lunch, I asked the teacher for information about the child’s parents. She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford (v.支付得起) to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the support (支持) from the teachers and community service workers like us. I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day. Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better.

He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him”可知，他的家人因无法承担治疗费用而抛弃了他，划线部分意为“抛弃、遗弃”，和left意义相近。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better...But it can light a corner in the children’s hearts, making them know they are loved by people.”可知作者意识到社区服务能让每个人感觉更好，它可以照亮孩子们心中的一个角落，让他们知道人们爱他们，所以作者明白了社区服务的意义。故选C。 Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·湖南省株洲市荷塘区·期中） Stephen used to work in a company.

Liam Thompson is a young inventor who loves cats. He found Frodo’s difficulties and decided to do something helpful.

The video called I Built an Elevator for My Cat showed how Thompson made the elevator for Frodo. It was funny. The video made more than 900,000 people interested in the elevator. In his video, Thompson used a toy to test the elevator because he wanted to make sure it was safe for Frodo. Thompson asked his favourite cat, “Are you ready to go downstairs without moving a muscle? I hope you will be happy because it took me four days to complete the machine.” Frodo seemed relaxed in the elevator as it went to the bottom of the stairs. Frodo stayed in the elevator for a moment. He didn’t seem to know how to get off. But after a while, Frodo found out how to get out of the elevator. Thompson laughed excitedly as Frodo walked out of the elevator and made his way to the pool. Thompson’s invention was a great success. His love for his cat has won 1.87 million fans on the internet.

I searched for any kind of place to stay and found a small empty doghouse. Lying in it, I heard footsteps getting closer, but I was too sick to lift my head. A family found me and stopped. Then I got wrapped (包裹) in a thick jacket, slowly and softly. A woman picked me up. She lowered her head, looking at me. I could see the worry and sadness in her eyes. “Honey, dogs are everywhere in this area. We can’t save all of them.” said the man. He was right. There were so many of us—homeless and forgotten. The woman answered, “She can’t even stand up. How can we say no to such a poor little thing?” The man thought for a moment. Finally, he agreed. They soon took me to a nearby animal hospital. I started to believe every dog has its day. But my body told a different story. My legs were broken and almost couldn’t move, my teeth were in bad condition, and my eyes became so cloudy that I could not see anything clearly. The animal doctor said I had heartworm (犬心虫病), and it was getting worse because of my age. He suggested letting me die naturally. “That will never happen,” the woman said. After getting back home, she gave me a warm name—“Pretty Girl”—and cared for me like her own child, even making a soft bed for me in the safest corner of the living room. I ate real food, something I had never tasted. When I didn’t want to take medicine, she encouraged me and cheered me up. Days went by, and now, look at me! I can run fast and jump high. My legs are strong and my eyes are bright. What a truly pretty girl! Every afternoon, I follow the family around the garden, watching over them. In the evening, my family always take me for a relaxing walk. For me, winter nights are not cold anymore. 2．How was the dog when it was found? A．It was fat. B．It was pretty. C．It was weak.

A．②①③④ B．②③④① C．①③④② D．①②④③ 5．What’s the best title for the story? A．Every Dog Has Its Day B．A Pretty Dog Is Always Lucky C．A Kind Family Found A Dog D．Poor Animals Lost Their Homes 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文以一只流浪狗的口吻讲述自己在寒冬中被善良家庭救助，重获新生的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“I arrived on a cold winter night, shaking and feeling tired…I was too sick to lift my head.”可知狗狗被发现时非常虚弱。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Honey, dogs are everywhere in this area. We can’t save all of them.”可知男子最初不同意救助是因为他们无法帮助所有流浪狗。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“A family found me and stopped. Then I got wrapped (包裹) in a thick jacket…The man thought for a moment. Finally, he agreed…The animal doctor said I had heartworm (犬心虫病), and it was getting worse because of my age…I ate real food, something I had never tasted.”可知故事发展顺序为：②狗狗被裹上外套→③那个家庭决定救助→④那个家庭发现狗狗得了严重的疾病→①狗狗吃到从没吃过的食物，即②③④①。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知故事主要讲述一只被救助的狗狗重获新生的经历，最贴切的标题是Every Dog Has Its Day“每只狗都有走运的一天”。故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·吉林省吉林市船营区第二十三中学·期中） My name’s Blackie.
