One day they were reading a story about their great grandfathers: Shiny’s and Smily’s great grandfathers decided to have a race. While Shiny’s great grandfather went to sleep during the race, Smily’s great grandfather won the race by slowly walking towards the finish line.     Smily said, “If your great grandfather didn’t go to sleep, my great granddad might never win. So his win was not a real win.”     The next day there was a notice in the jungle (丛林) newspaper. It said that there would be a race and the winner would win many prizes(奖品). The race started from the bear’s house. From there, the runners had to cross the river. But most of the animals could not both run fast and swim fast. So they didn’t know what to do. Shiny and Smily made a plan.     Shiny ran, while Smily was sitting on his back. He and other animals, like the deer, reached the river side at the same time. But they saw the swift water and stood there because they were worried. None of them liked the idea of crossing the river. Smily quickly got into the water and Shiny sat on his back. Smily started swimming. Soon they reached the other side of the river. Shiny got down from Smily’s back and Smily climbed on Shiny’s back again. Shiny ran fast. They reached the finish line first.     “Both of them are the winners.” The president (总统) of the jungle said, “Shiny and Smily helped each other during the race and they won. So let’s give them a big hand.” 1．Why did Smily think his grandfather’s win was not a real win? A．Because his grandfather ran too slow. B．Because Shiny’s grandfather slept during the race.

Shopping for yellow-sticker (黄色标签) food. Bye, Yellow Sticker Girl!” At school, Kyla shouted, “Hey, look! It’s the Yellow Sticker Girl!” One day, I saw a poster “Saturday Girl Wanted” in a bakery (烘焙店) window. “Excuse me, sir. I want to be a Saturday Girl,” I said to Mr Turner.

Every Saturday, I was busy working in the bakery. Mr Turner said, “Well done, Meghan. You worked hard, you’re smart and the buyers love you.” Then he gave me money and many cakes.

Mum said, “I’ll go to school and talk to the form teacher.” I stopped her, “No! Please don’t go. Everyone will see you.” Mum agreed not to, but said, “You have to tell me everything and talk to your form teacher.” One evening, I saw Kyla at the supermarket again. This time, she didn’t laugh and she said, “I’m sorry, Meghan.” “Sorry? Why did you do it?” I asked. She said, “I am also a yellow sticker girl.

I knew it was more important than swimming. We now lived in a small old mobile home. Still, I asked, “Couldn’t Julie watch them?” “She can help, but she’s only ten. I feel better with a fifteen-year-old at home.” So, I wasn’t playing in the pool but watching my five-year-old sister and three-year-old brother. As a boy, I usually don’t mind watching the kids. Taking care of children really wasn’t the problem. The problem was the weather. In such hot weather, it was really hard for us. At about ten o’clock, I took the kids out to play. There were some big gray clouds in the sky but I didn’t think anything of it. After about an hour, I found the sky was turning dark green. It was a real tornado (龙卷风)! I tried hard to remember what we learned in class. That’s it! If you are outside, find the lowest (最低的) place you can. Our small mobile home was not a perfect place. I thought of the ditch (沟) not far away. “We have to make it to the ditch.” As Julie picked Dougie up, I got Lyssa and a few towels (毛巾). It was like what we saw in a movie. People were running for their lives. My legs were on fire. Julie cried as she ran, but I couldn’t hear her because of the big noise of the tornado-just see her mouth open as a low sound touched my ears. “Get down!” I shouted and made everyone lie down, and I covered them with the towels. Rubbish rained down on us. The noise became louder. I had Dougie under one arm and Lyssa under the other and one hand holding Julie’s arm.

I think it doesn’t mind.”      The table was a large one, but the three were all crowded together at one corner of it. “No room! No room!” they cried out … “There’s plenty of room!” and she sat down in a large armchair at one end of the table. “Have some wine,” the March Hare said in an encouraging tone.

I think I can guess that.” she said loudly. “Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?” said the March Hare. “Exactly so.” said Alice. “Then you should say what you mean.” the March Hare went on. “I do,” Alice quickly replied, “at least—at least I mean what I say—that’s the same thing, you know.” Finally, they all began to laugh at Alice. —Adapted from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland 1．According to Paragraph 1 where was the dormouse sitting?

He didn’t just travel—he jumped into Chinese culture and had lots of fun! One of the coolest things he tried was Hunan embroidery (湘绣).

But they saw the swift water and stood there because they were worried. None of them liked the idea of crossing the river. Smily quickly got into the water and Shiny sat on his back. Smily started swimming. Soon they reached the other side of the river. Shiny got down from Smily’s back and Smily climbed on Shiny’s back again. Shiny ran fast.

Taking care of children really wasn’t the problem. The problem was the weather. In such hot weather, it was really hard for us. At about ten o’clock, I took the kids out to play. There were some big gray clouds in the sky but I didn’t think anything of it. After about an hour, I found the sky was turning dark green. It was a real tornado (龙卷风)! I tried hard to remember what we learned in class. That’s it! If you are outside, find the lowest (最低的) place you can. Our small mobile home was not a perfect place. I thought of the ditch (沟) not far away. “We have to make it to the ditch.” As Julie picked Dougie up, I got Lyssa and a few towels (毛巾). It was like what we saw in a movie. People were running for their lives. My legs were on fire. Julie cried as she ran, but I couldn’t hear her because of the big noise of the tornado-just see her mouth open as a low sound touched my ears. “Get down!” I shouted and made everyone lie down, and I covered them with the towels.

Soon all my body began to shake, and I felt very cold. A long time later, John came back. He covered me with two or three warm blankets, and ran to the house for some hot water. He gave me some warm food, and then I think I went to sleep. Over and over again, John said to himself, “Stupid (愚蠢的) boy! Stupid boy!” I was now very sick, and John was nursing me night and day. The Squire came to see me. “Poor Beauty,” he said one day. “You saved Mrs. Gordon’s life.” John said, “Black Beauty went so fast. He seemed to know what was wrong.” —Taken from Black Beauty 1．Whose life did Black Beauty save? A．The Squire’s. B．Mrs. Gordon’s. C．John’s. D．Dr White’s. 2．What can we know from the passage? A．Dr White was not good at riding a horse. B．Black Beauty was strong and seldom got ill. C．Black Beauty knew what was wrong with Mrs. Gordon. D．John was a good man and he was nice to Black Beauty. 3．What’s the correct order of the story? a. Joe gave me cold water to drink.     b. John woke me up. c. I was very wet.        d. Dr White rode me to Birtwick Park. e. Joe didn’t put a warm blanket on me.    f. John and I arrive at Dr. White’s house. A．f-b-a-c-d-e B．b-f-a-e-d-c C．b-f-d-c-e-a D．b-f-c-d-e-a 4．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “nursing” ? A．Taking care of. B．Looking at. C．Shouting at. D．Worrying about. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是小说《黑骏马》中的片段，讲的是John发现Gordon太太病了，于是骑马去找医生，回来后马也生病了，John细心照顾马的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“The Squire came to see me. ‘Poor Beauty’, he said one day. ‘You saved Mrs Gordon’s life.’”可知，黑骏马救了Gordon夫人的命。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“The doctor was heavier than John, and not such a good rider.”可知，从文章中我们能知道怀特医生不擅长骑马。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“Wake up, Beauty!”、“When we arrived at Dr White’s house”、“When we got to Birtwick Park”、“My legs were shaking, and I was very wet.”、“Joe was young and he forgot to put a warm blanket (毛毯) on me.”和“Then he gave me cold water to drink.”可知，John先是把我叫醒，和我到达White医生家，然后驾车去了Birtwick庄园，后来我全身都湿了，Joe没有给我盖一条暖和的毯子，之后给了我冷水喝。故正确的顺序应该是b-f-d-c-e-a。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据“I was now very sick, and John was nursing me night and day.”可知，我病的厉害，John应该是不分昼夜地照顾我，这里nursing相当于taking care of“照顾”。故选A。 主题03 人与社会——著名人物 Passage 1 （24-25七年级下·江苏南通市启东市·期中） Wang Chuqin is one of China’s top table tennis players.

Now Wang has turned himself into a calmer player. “I just want to keep improving,” Wang told China Daily. He added, “My strong will to win and go after my goals has helped me to grow and become better.” Away from the table, with his cool clothes and hairstyle, many people take Wang as an outgoing person.

Less common in the sport, left-handed players often leave their opponents (对手) surprised by the different angles (角度),”可知，王楚钦左手打球的不同角度会让对手惊讶。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Because of this, he wasn’t allowed to take part in matches for three months. But he still stayed optimistic, and trained harder.”可知，前面说他被禁赛三个月，“but”表转折，后面说他更努力训练，说明他是积极的态度，“optimistic”意思是“乐观的”。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“During the 2019 ITTF World Tour Platinum Austrian Open, he threw his racquet (球拍) in anger after losing a match. Because of this, he wasn’t allowed to take part in matches for three months.”可知，他输比赛后愤怒地扔球拍，所以被禁赛三个月。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“However, ‘I am relatively quiet,’ Wang told the Olympics website. ‘I don’t speak very much. I prefer to spend time alone.’”可知，王楚钦认为自己比较安静。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Less common in the sport, left-handed players often leave their opponents (对手) surprised by the different angles (角度)”，说明左手打球的选手在这项运动中不常见，也就是右手打球的选手更普遍，D选项“左手打球的选手比右手打球的更普遍”与原文不符。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25七年级下·江苏盐城市康居路初中教育集团·期中） Mencius (孟子) is one of the greatest people in Chinese history.

He didn’t just travel—he jumped into Chinese culture and had lots of fun! One of the coolest things he tried was Hunan embroidery (湘绣). In Changsha, Speed met a famous embroidery artist named Chang Ni. She showed him how to use a silver needle (银针) to stitch (缝) on silk. Speed gave it a try...and oops! His stitches were messy, and he laughed at himself. But he learned that even mistakes can be part of the art. Then he was amazed at the double-sided embroidery! This special style shows one picture on the front and a different one on the back all on the same cloth. Speed saw a piece with Yuelu Mountain on one side and another design on the other. He shouted, “That’s amazing! That’s different!” At the end, Chang Ni gave Speed a beautiful embroidered fan called Gentle Breeze (清风徐来). It was a gift of friendship. Speed didn’t stop there. He practiced Kung Fu at the Shaolin Temple. He kicked, punched, and made everyone laugh with his funny moves. He also learned lion dancing and wore cool Hanfu (traditional Chinese clothes). Later in Shanghai, Speed watched a calligraphy show. Then he picked up a brush and tried it himself! He focused hard and carefully made each stroke. It was a quiet moment—different from his usual wild energy. One fan called him “a digital Marco Polo” (数码马可·波罗). Speed helped show the world that Chinese culture is still alive and exciting. By showing embroidery and other crafts on his channel (频道), he helped more people learn and care about them. Millions of young fans said they became interested in Chinese traditions after watching him. 1．The underlined word “messy” most likely means ________ .

A．Because he looks like Marco Polo. B．Because he is good at traveling around the world. C．Because he found a new place in China. D．Because he shares Chinese culture with the world online. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了网络红人“甲亢哥”通过网络分享中国传统文化的故事。 1．词义猜测题。根据“His stitches were messy, and he laughed at himself. But he learned that even mistakes can be part of the art.”可知，iShowSpeed的刺绣尝试并不成功，因此“messy”应是贬义，结合选项，bad的意义与其相近。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Then he was amazed at the double-sided embroidery! This special style shows one picture on the front and a different one on the back all on the same cloth.”可知，他惊讶于同一块布料上正反两面呈现不同的图案。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“In Changsha, Speed met a famous embroidery artist named Chang Ni. She showed him how to use a silver needle (银针) to stitch (缝) on silk. Speed gave it a try...and oops!”，“He practiced Kung Fu at the Shaolin Temple.”和“Later in Shanghai, Speed watched a calligraphy show. Then he picked up a brush and tried it himself! He focused hard and carefully made each stroke.”可知，他尝试了湖南刺绣、功夫以及书法。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“One fan called him ‘a digital Marco Polo’ (数码马可·波罗). Speed helped show the world that Chinese culture is still alive and exciting. By showing embroidery and other crafts on his channel (频道), he helped more people learn and care about them.”可知，这一称呼是因为他像马可·波罗一样传播中国文化，但他是通过数字媒体来实现的。故选D。 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
