After making two buckets(桶) full of water from the well, the farmer would carefully place a bamboo stick over his shoulders to carry them home. One of the buckets had a small hole. All the way home from the well, it would leak water along the way. By the time the farmer got home, the leaky bucket would be only half full. This went on for years, and the leaky bucket began feeling sad and sorry. One day it called out to the farmer, “I’m so sorry that I leak! I am making life harder for you.” The farmer only smiled. “Dear bucket,” he said, “Look at this way we are on. Don’t you see many beautiful flowers growing next to it? Those flowers bloom (开花) only on the side I carry you on when we make our way home. The water you drop has brought beauty into the world.

All the way home from the well, it would leak water along the way.”可知，农夫每天挑着两个水桶去打水，其中有一个水桶漏水，因此②在①前，排除A和C；根据第二段“I’m so sorry that I leak!” 和第三段“The farmer only smiled…These flowers have given me so much joy on my walks to and from the well.”可知，漏水的桶向农夫道歉，农夫笑了，说多亏了这个桶，他才能在路上欣赏到美丽的花，③在④前。故选B。 3．词义猜测题。根据“One of the buckets had a small hole.”和“The water you drop has brought beauty into the world.”可知，其中一个水桶上有个小洞，由此可推测，这个水桶漏水，路上会有水滴落，leak表示“漏”，在文中与选项中的“drop滴落”近义。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段可知，虽然水桶漏水，但正是这个原因，让农夫在路上能够欣赏到美丽的花。故事告诉我们要学会看到事物光明的一面。故选D。 Passage 2 24-25八年级下·辽宁省盖州市 ·期中 A little stream (小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then she reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself. At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.” “That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life. The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are. 5．Which place did the little stream want to reach finally? A．The forest. B．The ocean.

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. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children’s hearts, making them know they are loved by people. 13．How did the writer reach Beijing Qizhi Special Education School? A．By train. B．By car. C．By bus. D．By taxi. 14．Why did the writer get angry? A．Because a boy held the writer’s hands. B．Because the writer did not like to taste nature. C．Because a boy pushed the writer to the ground.

A．helped so many people in the world B．played with the lonely boy after lunch C．learned the meaning of community service D．wasn’t good at community service 13．C 14．D 15．B 16．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者前往北京启智特殊教育学校进行社区服务的经历，在与一位特殊儿童的互动中，从起初的愤怒到最终理解社区服务的真正意义。 13．细节理解题。根据“Before we took the bus”可知作者是乘公交车到达该校。故选C。 14．细节理解题。根据“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”可知他握住作者的手，把作者拉到了地上，可推知作者生气是因为小男孩对他不友好。故选D。 15．词义猜测题。根据“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”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。 16．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 2 24-25八年级下·辽宁省锦州第十二中学 ·期中 What does filial piety (n.孝顺) mean to you?

Two of my friends went to the movies the day before but they didn’t invite me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in and asked, “Want to go for a ride today, Judy?” “No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning. My friends invited me to go swimming with them a few hours later. I forgot to be angry with them and went. When I came back home, I saw a note, “Dad has an accident. Go to Highland Park Hospital. Mom.” As soon as I reached the hospital, my mother held my hand and said, “Luckily, your dad was able to tell others to leave him alone and just call 911! If they had moved him...” My mother talked a lot, but I only remembered: LEAVE HIM ALONE. Weeks later, my father was able to talk. One day, I said sorry to him for what I said that Sunday morning.

I still remember, when I was four years old, I sat close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes and to the voice of my favourite presenters (主持人). It seemed that they were speaking not to lots of listeners but to me in person. At the age of nine, I asked for part-time jobs in small radio stations. As I grew older, my interest in radio grew.

Soon my friends at school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We prepared a programme once a week, doing research by reading articles about music and sports news.

He was in another room, behind a glass wall. “OK, let’s do a sound check. Just tell me what you had for breakfast.” All radio presenters need to answer the same question before they begin to work.

But did you know that he almost wasn’t created? Stan Lee came up with the idea for Spider-Man in 1962. He was a different kind of superhero from what had come before. He was a teenager who had everyday problems. Back then, superheroes were strong, grown men who saved people. Teenagers were helpers. The heroes didn’t have to worry about real-life problems like paying bills and caring for an old relative. They flew in the sky and fought aliens. Stan Lee was about to change that. When Stan told his boss about Spider-Man, his boss said it was “the worst idea” he’d ever heard, reported the Vintage News. For a time, it seemed that it was the end for Stan’s friendly neighborhood hero. But then, Stan had an idea. One of Marvel Comics’ books was going to stop. Stan Lee said, “Nobody cared what you put inside a book that was going to be killed.” So, Stan Lee teamed up with artist Steve Ditko, who made Spider-Man’s iconic (标志性的) look. Together, they put Spider-Man in the 15th and last issue (期) of the comic book Amazing Fantasy. Spider-Man was a huge hit. The issue, showing the superhero on its cover, was a bestseller. And so, Spider-Man was given his own comic book, The Amazing Spider-Man. He has become one of the most beloved fictional (虚构的) characters of all time. So, if you have an idea that you think is great, don’t give up! 73．Why was Spider-Man different from other superheroes at the time? A．Because he fought aliens from outer space. B．Because he had to deal with real-life problems. C．Because he was a grown man, stronger than others. D．Because he never worried about looking after an old family. 74．How did Stan Lee finally get to create Spider-Man? A．He started his own company. B．He sold the idea to another publisher. C．He got money and support from Steve Ditko. D．He used a comic book that was almost ending. 75．What does the underlined phrase “a huge hit” in the last paragraph mean?

After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself. At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert.

Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze.

Passage 2 24-25八年级下·辽宁省锦州市凌海市 ·期中 “How old are you?” The radio manager (经理) looked down at me. “Fifteen,” I said. “And you want a job in radio? Shouldn’t you be at school?” he asked. How could I explain? I’ve always loved the radio. I still remember, when I was four years old, I sat close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes and to the voice of my favourite presenters (主持人). It seemed that they were speaking not to lots of listeners but to me in person. At the age of nine, I asked for part-time jobs in small radio stations. As I grew older, my interest in radio grew. One day I learned about Internet radio. Once a week, I played my favourite music from my father’s computer, talked about life at school, and hoped someone might be listening. Soon my friends at school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We prepared a programme once a week, doing research by reading articles about music and sports news. We also did research for jokes and the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window). “OK, come with me,” the manager said. I sat down in the studio. He was in another room, behind a glass wall. “OK, let’s do a sound check. Just tell me what you had for breakfast.” All radio presenters need to answer the same question before they begin to work. The purpose is to check the sound level. “I had eggs, fruit and some milk.” “OK, that’s great!” the man behind the glass said. This was how my first real job in radio began. 53．When do you think the writer started an interest in radio? A．At the age of fifteen. B．At the age of four. C．At the age of nine.

But did you know that he almost wasn’t created? Stan Lee came up with the idea for Spider-Man in 1962. He was a different kind of superhero from what had come before. He was a teenager who had everyday problems. Back then, superheroes were strong, grown men who saved people. Teenagers were helpers. The heroes didn’t have to worry about real-life problems like paying bills and caring for an old relative. They flew in the sky and fought aliens. Stan Lee was about to change that. When Stan told his boss about Spider-Man, his boss said it was “the worst idea” he’d ever heard, reported the Vintage News. For a time, it seemed that it was the end for Stan’s friendly neighborhood hero. But then, Stan had an idea. One of Marvel Comics’ books was going to stop. Stan Lee said, “Nobody cared what you put inside a book that was going to be killed.” So, Stan Lee teamed up with artist Steve Ditko, who made Spider-Man’s iconic (标志性的) look. Together, they put Spider-Man in the 15th and last issue (期) of the comic book Amazing Fantasy. Spider-Man was a huge hit. The issue, showing the superhero on its cover, was a bestseller. And so, Spider-Man was given his own comic book, The Amazing Spider-Man. He has become one of the most beloved fictional (虚构的) characters of all time.
