I would be a different person if my mum hadn’t turned the simple basket into a life lesson. My mum handled most of the parenting in my childhood. Looking back, I don’t know how she managed everything, especially the family budget. But she made it look easy. If my brother and I ever complained about not having what other kids did, we’d hear things like, “I don’t care what so-and-so got for their birthday. You’re not getting a TV in your room or a fancy Sweet 16 Party.” Instead, we earned our pocket money by doing chores around the house. We also had to take care of our belongings, and if something was lost, it would not be replaced. One summer day, my mum took me to the bike shop to fix a tire. That’s when I saw it—a beautiful white plastic bike basket with colorful flowers. The basket winked at me and I knew I had to have it. I begged my mum to buy it for me. I promised to do extra chores, anything, just to have it. She smiled and said gently, “If you save up, you could buy it yourself.” I protested (反抗), afraid someone else would buy it first. Then she said, “There might be another way.” She bought the basket that day and hid it somewhere I couldn’t find. Each week, I saved up my pocket money and did extra chores—washing the car, helping with dinner, running errands (跑腿) on my bike, which now looked empty without the basket. Finally, after weeks of hard work, I had the full amount and got my dream basket. Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighbourhood girl rode by on her shiny new bike—with the exact same basket. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster. And then came the lesson I’ve taken with me through my life. My mum knelt down, looked into my teary eyes, and said to me, “Honey, your basket is extra-special because you paid for it yourself.” 41．What can we learn from paragraph 2? A．The writer enjoyed doing housework. B．The writer came from a wealthy family. C．The mother was strict with her children.

C．The basket didn’t match her bike. D．It was impossible to get the basket. 43．What was the disaster in paragraph 5? A．A neighbourhood girl got a fancier bike. B．The writer’s basket was no longer special. C．The writer didn’t like her basket any more. D．The basket cost more than the writer expected. 44．What life lesson did the writer learn from her mother?

We also had to take care of our belongings, and if something was lost, it would not be replaced.”可知，当作者和哥哥抱怨没有其他孩子拥有的东西时，妈妈会拒绝满足他们的要求，让他们通过做家务来挣零花钱，而且如果东西丢了不会再买新的。这一系列行为体现出妈妈在对待孩子的需求、培养孩子的独立性和责任感等方面要求很严格。故选C。 42．词句猜测题。根据“Each week, I saved up my pocket money and did extra chores-washing the car, helping with dinner, running errands on my bike, which now looked empty without the basket. Finally, after weeks of hard work, I had the full amount and got my dream basket.”可知，作者强调自行车没有篮子就显得空荡荡，是为了突出她内心对得到这个篮子的极度渴望，那个篮子在她心中是不可或缺的，所以她用 “empty” 表明她急切地想要得到那个篮子。故选B。 43．细节理解题。根据“A neighbourhood girl rode by on her shiny new bike-with the exact same basket. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster.”可知，作者觉得灾难是因为邻家女孩有了一模一样的篮子，自己的篮子不再特别了。故选B。   44．推理判断题。根据“Honey, your basket is extra-special because you paid for it yourself.”可知，作者通过自己努力攒钱和做家务才获得了这个篮子，妈妈强调因为是自己付出努力得到的所以格外特别。这意味着通过自身努力获得的回报会有不一样的价值，会让人感觉更甜蜜、更珍贵。故选C。 45．推理判断题。本文讲述了作者童年的生活故事，所以可能在杂志的生活故事板块找到。故选A。 Passage 6 （24-25八年级下·广东深圳·期中）The clock struck six, Beth got up and put her mother’s slippers near the fire to warm. “Those slippers are very old,” said Jo. “Mother needs some new ones.” “I can buy a pair for her with my dollar,” said Beth. “No, I’m the oldest,” Meg said. “I want to buy the slippers for her.” “No, it’s my job,” said Jo. “Father told me to take care of Mother while he was away.” “I have an idea,” said Beth. “Let’s not spend our money on ourselves.

Jen Justiniano began painting rocks as a way to deal with worry after a hurricane (飓风), posting photos of her creations on Facebook. At the same time, her friend Carrie Cerve was sharing kind messages on the platform, encouraging others to spread warmth. “I just felt like today was the day to show some kindness, show some reminders that you, as one person, can make a difference,” Cerve told Florida Today. Finally, the two women decided to create a Facebook group called Brevard Rocks FL. To their surprise, within weeks, the group grew to 1,000 members, and today, it has an amazing 41,500 members, with more people joining every day. The idea is simple yet powerful: members paint rocks with messages like “Be kind” “Spread kindness” and “Love”, and then hide them around the community. Those who find the rocks often feel a strong sense of thankfulness, leading them to join the group and share their stories. One of those touched by the action was Coleen Carlson of Viera. During a very difficult time in her life, Carlson found a pink-painted rock with the word “Warrior (勇士)” on it outside a coffee shop. The message encouraged her deeply. “I burst into tears and knew the rock was made just for me,” she said. “I kept the rock for several years, until I had a friend going through a hard time too. I gave her the rock, and she cried with me.” This growing community shows the power of small acts of kindness. What started with a few painted rocks has turned into a movement that’s raising spirits and spreading love across Brevard County and beyond. 56．What was Jen Justiniano’s purpose of drawing rocks at first? A．To fight with a huge hurricane. B．To pass happiness to others. C．To post photos of her creation. D．To get out of after-hurricane worry. 57．Why did the two women create Brevard Rocks FL?

D．She made a new rock as a gift to her friends. 60．What is the best title for the passage? A．Draw colorful rocks with stories written on them. B．Love is everywhere, moving everywhere. C．Paint rocks carefully, paint wonderful lives. D．Pass kindness by painting colourful rocks. 【答案】56．D 57．A 58．B 59．B 60．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了Jen Justiniano和Carrie Cerve两位女性如何通过在石头上绘画并传递善意，进而发展成为一个拥有超过40,000名成员的成功在线社区Brevard Rocks FL的故事。 56．细节理解题。根据“Jen Justiniano began painting rocks as a way to deal with worry after a hurricane (飓风)”可知Jen Justiniano最初画石头的目的是为了摆脱飓风后的忧虑。故选D。 57．细节理解题。根据“‘I just felt like today was the day to show some kindness, show some reminders that you, as one person, can make a difference,’ Cerve told Florida Today.”可知这两个女人创建Brevard Rocks FL是为了展示她们的善良，表明一个人也能有所作为。故选A。 58．推理判断题。根据“The idea is simple yet powerful: members paint rocks with messages like ‘Be kind’ ‘Spread kindness’ and ‘Love’”及“Those who find the rocks often feel a strong sense of thankfulness”可知石头上出现的消息是积极向上的，如“善良”“传播善良”和“爱”等，四个选项中“Luck好运”最符合。故选B。 59．细节理解题。根据“During a very difficult time in her life, Carlson found a pink-painted rock with the word ‘Warrior (勇士)’ on it outside a coffee shop.

While in the eighth grade, he failed subjects repeatedly. High school wasn’t much better, he flunked Latin, algebra, English, and received a grade of zero in physics. The boy managed to make the school golf team, but he lost the most important golf match of the season. It’s not that his peers disliked this boy. It’s just that they never really seemed to notice him much. Even “Hellos” in the hall were hardly said. Out of all the failures in his life, there was something that did hold great importance to this boy, his love of drawing. Although in high school, the cartoons he made were rejected. Once out of school, the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he went to find Walt Disney Studios with drawing works. I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him, but such was not the case; another huge rejection. Despite his lack of successes, this boy did not give up. He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons, about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody. The name of this boy was Charles Schulz, the creator of the famous Charlie Brown and comic dog Snoopy. In life, it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody. We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work, or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall, and no one seems to notice or care. Deep inside, we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer, but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance, we may feel worthless, just like Charlie Brown who couldn’t even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly. Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent, so too, we must realize that nobody is a nobody. We all have special gifts and talents, and every human being is deserving and capable of being loved and appreciated. 86．The underlined word “flunked” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________. A．failed B．learned C．achieved D．misunderstood 87．What can we know about the boy? A．He was hated by his peers. B．He achieved great success in drawing in high school. C．His work was refused by Walt Disney Studios. D．He got the praise from Walt Disney Studios. 88．What can we infer in Paragraph 5? A．We need to open up our eyes. B．We need to believe in our own value and worth. C．We need to learn more skills for development. D．We need to ask for more praise and love. 89．Which is the right structure of the passage? (①= Paragraph 1 ②= Paragraph 2…) A．①②/③/④/⑤/⑥ B．①/②③④/⑤/⑥ C．①/②/③④/⑤/⑥ D．①②/③/④/⑤⑥ 90．What does the underlined sentence mean? A．Self-confidence leads to success, as shown by Schulz. B．Hard work matters more than talent. C．Talented people should keep trying after being turned down. D．All people have value, just as Schulz believed in his worth. 【答案】86．A 87．C 88．B 89．B 90．D 【导语】本文讲述了《花生漫画》创作者查尔斯・舒尔茨的真实经历：他曾是众人眼中的“失败者”—— 中学多门功课不及格、高尔夫比赛失利、画作多次被拒，但他始终未放弃对绘画的热爱，最终通过创作以“失败者”查理・布朗为主角的漫画闻名世界。文章借此传递“每个人都有独特价值，无人是‘无名之辈’”的信念。 86．词句猜测题。根据“he failed subjects repeatedly”和后文“received a grade of zero in physics”，可推测“flunked Latin, algebra, English”与“不及格”意思一致，因此“flunked”最接近“failed”。故选A。 87．细节理解题。根据“Once out of school, the boy... went to find Walt Disney Studios with drawing works... another huge rejection”可知，他的作品被迪士尼工作室拒绝。故选C。 88．推理判断题。根据第五段“Deep inside, we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer, but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance, we may feel worthless”可知，此处强调内心深处我们知道自己独特且有价值，但容易因他人忽视而感到无用。由此可推断，我们需要相信自己的价值，而非依赖他人认可。故选B。 89．篇章结构题。①段：总起，引出“一个被认为是‘失败者’的男孩”的故事；②③④段：分述男孩（查尔斯・舒尔茨）的经历 —— 中学失败、向迪士尼投稿被拒、最终创作《花生漫画》成功；⑤段：联系现实，说明人们常因被忽视而感到自己是“无名之辈”；⑥段：总结主旨，强调“无人是无名之辈，每个人都有独特价值”。因此结构划分为①/②③④/⑤/⑥。故选B。 90．词句猜测题。根据“Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent”和“we must realize that nobody is a nobody”并结合后文“We all have special gifts and talents”可知，句子核心是“正如舒尔茨相信自己的价值，我们也应明白每个人都有价值”。故选D。 Passage 4 （24-25八年级下·广东东莞·期中）In a neighborhood, a service team of volunteers—“Shared Children (共享儿女)”—is getting popular. It works hard to help old people without children around to be happy. The volunteers already made a big difference in the neighborhood. They helped more than seventy old people these days.

Passage 4 （24-25八年级下·广东深圳·期中） The Spring Festival was Li Ming’s favorite holiday. Every year in the past, his whole family came to visit. They made dumplings together, exchanged red envelopes, gathered around the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and told stories. But this year, a heavy snowstorm hit just before the festival. The roads were blocked and nobody could come. “The Spring Festival is ruined (毁坏),” Li Ming sighed, feeling down. Li Ming and his family went outside to clear the snow. They met some of their neighbors who were upset, too. “I was planning to celebrate with my daughter in the city,” said Grandma Liu, shaking her head. “I made glutinous rice cakes (年糕), but I’m all alone.” “My son was coming home,” Mr. Chen said. “I prepared fish, but now it seems wasted.” “I don’t have much of a celebration going on, either,” said Miss Zhao. “My parents were going to bring the lion dance props (道具). All I have are some lanterns.” Suddenly, Li Ming got an idea. After discussing with his parents, he shouted, “We have dumplings!

Not only had he missed early basic education, but he had not been exposed to (接触到) books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could only spell his name, but couldn’t read or understand words.

I would be a different person if my mum hadn’t turned the simple basket into a life lesson. My mum handled most of the parenting in my childhood. Looking back, I don’t know how she managed everything, especially the family budget. But she made it look easy. If my brother and I ever complained about not having what other kids did, we’d hear things like, “I don’t care what so-and-so got for their birthday. You’re not getting a TV in your room or a fancy Sweet 16 Party.” Instead, we earned our pocket money by doing chores around the house. We also had to take care of our belongings, and if something was lost, it would not be replaced. One summer day, my mum took me to the bike shop to fix a tire. That’s when I saw it—a beautiful white plastic bike basket with colorful flowers. The basket winked at me and I knew I had to have it. I begged my mum to buy it for me. I promised to do extra chores, anything, just to have it. She smiled and said gently, “If you save up, you could buy it yourself.” I protested (反抗), afraid someone else would buy it first. Then she said, “There might be another way.” She bought the basket that day and hid it somewhere I couldn’t find. Each week, I saved up my pocket money and did extra chores—washing the car, helping with dinner, running errands (跑腿) on my bike, which now looked empty without the basket. Finally, after weeks of hard work, I had the full amount and got my dream basket. Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighbourhood girl rode by on her shiny new bike—with the exact same basket. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster. And then came the lesson I’ve taken with me through my life. My mum knelt down, looked into my teary eyes, and said to me, “Honey, your basket is extra-special because you paid for it yourself.” 41．What can we learn from paragraph 2?

And you, Jo?” “Some new slippers!” cried Jo. “I’m going to make her some handkerchiefs,” said Beth quietly. “And I’m going to give her a bottle of perfume,” said Amy.

The 41-year-old Wang became the first woman astronaut to enter Tiangong space station. Wang’s space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. She told herself, “China now has a male（男性）astronaut. When will there be a female one?”At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army. After having safe flights for 1,600 hours over nine years, Wang was a strong candidate（候选人）to become an astronaut in 2010.

Jen Justiniano began painting rocks as a way to deal with worry after a hurricane (飓风), posting photos of her creations on Facebook. At the same time, her friend Carrie Cerve was sharing kind messages on the platform, encouraging others to spread warmth. “I just felt like today was the day to show some kindness, show some reminders that you, as one person, can make a difference,” Cerve told Florida Today. Finally, the two women decided to create a Facebook group called Brevard Rocks FL. To their surprise, within weeks, the group grew to 1,000 members, and today, it has an amazing 41,500 members, with more people joining every day. The idea is simple yet powerful: members paint rocks with messages like “Be kind” “Spread kindness” and “Love”, and then hide them around the community. Those who find the rocks often feel a strong sense of thankfulness, leading them to join the group and share their stories. One of those touched by the action was Coleen Carlson of Viera. During a very difficult time in her life, Carlson found a pink-painted rock with the word “Warrior (勇士)” on it outside a coffee shop. The message encouraged her deeply. “I burst into tears and knew the rock was made just for me,” she said. “I kept the rock for several years, until I had a friend going through a hard time too. I gave her the rock, and she cried with me.” This growing community shows the power of small acts of kindness.

While in the eighth grade, he failed subjects repeatedly. High school wasn’t much better, he flunked Latin, algebra, English, and received a grade of zero in physics. The boy managed to make the school golf team, but he lost the most important golf match of the season. It’s not that his peers disliked this boy. It’s just that they never really seemed to notice him much. Even “Hellos” in the hall were hardly said. Out of all the failures in his life, there was something that did hold great importance to this boy, his love of drawing. Although in high school, the cartoons he made were rejected. Once out of school, the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he went to find Walt Disney Studios with drawing works. I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him, but such was not the case; another huge rejection. Despite his lack of successes, this boy did not give up. He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons, about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody. The name of this boy was Charles Schulz, the creator of the famous Charlie Brown and comic dog Snoopy. In life, it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody. We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work, or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall, and no one seems to notice or care. Deep inside, we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer, but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance, we may feel worthless, just like Charlie Brown who couldn’t even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly. Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent, so too, we must realize that nobody is a nobody. We all have special gifts and talents, and every human being is deserving and capable of being loved and appreciated. 86．The underlined word “flunked” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.

B．We need to believe in our own value and worth. C．We need to learn more skills for development. D．We need to ask for more praise and love. 89．Which is the right structure of the passage?
