It is the longest railway in the world, stretching about 9,289 kilometres from Moscow to Vladivostok. The project began in 1891 and took over 25 years to complete. Workers faced terrible conditions along the way. They had to build tracks through frozen ground, deep forests, and high mountains. In winter, temperatures dropped to -50°C, making it almost impossible to work outside. Many workers fell ill or died from cold and hard labour. However, the Russian people were determined to complete the railway. They built bridges across huge rivers like the Ob and the Yenisei. They dug tunnels through the Ural Mountains. Bit by bit, they pushed forward despite all the difficulties. Today, the Trans-Siberian Railway is not only a symbol of human determination but also an important link between Europe and Asia. It carries millions of passengers and tons of goods every year. As one engineer put it, “We didn’t just build a railway; we conquered nature itself.” 1. When did the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway begin? A．In 1891. B．In 1900. C．In 1916. D．In 1925. 2. What does the underlined word “stretching” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．收缩 B．延伸 C．停止 D．转弯 3. Which of the following was NOT a difficulty workers faced? A．Frozen ground. B．Deep forests. C．Wild animals. D．High mountains. 4. Why does the author mention “We didn’t just build a railway; we conquered nature itself” at the end of the passage? A．To show how long the railway is. B．To explain why the railway was built. C．To emphasize the great achievement of humans. D．To describe the weather conditions. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 4. C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了西伯利亚大铁路的修建历程、工人们面临的极端困难以及这项工程所象征的人类决心与成就。 1. 第一段明确指出开工时间：“The project began in 1891”，即该工程1891年开工。 2. 第一段提到：“It is the longest railway in the world, stretching about 9,289 kilometres from Moscow to Vladivostok.”，此句描述铁路从莫斯科到符拉迪沃斯托克的全长与空间范围，结合选项可推知“stretching”意为“延伸”。 3. 第二段提到工人面临的困难：“They had to build tracks through frozen ground, deep forests, and high mountains.”，文中提到了冻土、深林和高山，未提到野生动物。 4. 本文围绕人类克服自然重重困难完成这项伟大工程展开，并且最后一段指出：“the Trans-Siberian Railway is not only a symbol of human determination but also an important link between Europe and Asia.”，因此作者引用“We didn’t just build a railway; we conquered nature itself”这句话是为了强调人类在极端困难下完成这一工程的伟大成就。 Passage 3 I was reading when my little brother rushed into my room. “I made paper planes, David! Aren’t they cool?” Tex shouted, sending his planes directly into my head. I was a bit ▲ . “Excuse me, can I have a little peace so that I can read?” In fact, I was upset because I failed the exam yesterday. “Oh! I want to read too!” said Tex. “Can you read your book out loud?” “I don’t want to read aloud,” I said more angrily. “Are you in a bad emotion?” Tex asked. “Tex, just leave me alone!” I got up, making my way towards the living room. “What’s up, David?” asked my father. “I’m in a terrible emotion!” I said. “I like organizing things when I’m in a bad emotion,” said my father. I knew he was trying to make me feel better, but I felt even worse. Just then, my friend Ollie stopped by. “Check out my new football.” I walked outside and said, ”I’m too busy being in the world’s worst emotion to do anything at all.” “When I’m in a bad emotion, I move,” said Ollie. He kicked the ball far. We ran to catch it until it finally stopped at a tree. Then we saw a squirrel (松鼠) catch snacks from a bird feeder. “Whoa!” Ollie said in an excited voice. “I never knew squirrels could hang upside down like that.” “Sure,” I giggled (咯咯地笑). “Hey!” said Ollie. “That noise you just made sounded like a laugh.” I smiled, “Possibly.” “Of course, you do. Catch!” said Ollie. He threw the ball at me. 1. Which of the following words can we put in ▲ ? A．tired B．excited C．angry D．surprised 2. What did David’s father advise him to do? A．Organize things.

D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了主人公David因考试失利心情低落，弟弟Tex、父亲和朋友Ollie分别用不同方式帮助他调节情绪，最终在朋友的陪伴下走出坏情绪的故事。 1. 第二段提到：“In fact, I was upset because I failed the exam yesterday.”，并且第三段指出David对Tex说话的语气“more angrily”，因此David当时的心情是生气的。 2. 第五段提到：“‘I like organizing things when I’m in a bad emotion,’ said my father.”，因此父亲建议David去整理东西。 3. 倒数第四段提到：“‘When I’m in a bad emotion, I move,’ said Ollie. He kicked the ball far.”，因此He指代的是前一句中的Ollie。 4. 文章讲述了David心情低落时，弟弟、父亲和朋友分别用不同方式帮助他，最终他心情好转的故事。文章通过这一经历，旨在告诉读者如何应对坏情绪。 Passage 4 Fiona was a popular girl at school. She was clever and fun, and got on well with everyone. From an early age, she tried to be kind and friendly to everyone. She invited all her classmates to her birthday party, and she gave gifts to everybody. She was such a busy girl with so many friends to spend time with every day. She felt very lucky. But everything changed on National Friendship Day. On that day, at school, everyone had to give three gifts to their three best friends. Fiona enjoyed choosing three from all her friends. However, when they began to share their gifts, Fiona was the only one that didn’t receive one! Even Lily, who played with her every day, didn’t give her a gift. When she got home that night, Fiona told her mother what had happened. Her mother touched her head tenderly and said, “You can’t buy friends with a smile or a few good words. If you really want true friends, you will have to give them real time and care. You should be there for them in good times and bad. For most of your classmates, you’re only a playmate.” That night, in bed, Fiona thought about what her mother said. Then she thought about how her mother was always helping her and staying with her all the time. Until that moment, Fiona knew the meaning of a true friend. 1. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?

C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Fiona 从“看似受欢迎”到理解“真正友谊”的成长故事。 1. 第一段：“Fiona was a popular girl at school. She was clever and fun… kind and friendly…”，第一段整体介绍了Fiona的性格、为人和在学校的状态，说明她是一个什么样的人。 2. 第三段：“If you really want true friends, you will have to give them real time and care.”，妈妈的话表明Fiona需要真正地关心朋友，才能拥有真正的友谊。 3. 第四段：“…her mother was always helping her and staying with her all the time. Until that moment, Fiona knew the meaning of a true friend.”，Fiona想到妈妈总是帮助并陪伴自己，由此明白妈妈才是她真正的朋友。 4. 第三段“You can’t buy friends with a smile or a few good words…You should be there for them in good times and bad.”和第四段“Until that moment, Fiona knew the meaning of a true friend.”，全文核心道理是真正的友谊需要真实的关心与支持，而非表面友好或礼物。 Passage 5 The chances of being hit by a falling helicopter (直升机) are low, but never zero! Two days before Logan Schneider’s 19th birthday, an accident happened to him. While Logan was helping his brother on the farm in Wenatchee, Washington, a helicopter fell from the sky and landed directly on him. Logan was wearing noise-canceling headphones (降噪耳机) just before the crash. He said he heard a couple of thumps (重击声) and looked up just in time to see the helicopter falling straight to him. He hardly had time to think before a fire broke out. As he tried to make his way out, he heard the pilot Cori Johnson shouting for help. “I heard him shouting,” Logan said. “I looked around and saw him hanging upside down. Fire was everywhere. When I was in the moment, I wasn’t thinking. I was just doing.” Logan reached Cori through the fire and brought him away from the fire. Once Cori was on his feet, Logan helped him get away just seconds before flames burst (爆炸) 30 feet into the air. Firefighters arrived and put out the fire. Both Cori and Logan were taken to the hospital. Logan suffered second-degree burns on his arms and got hurt in his back, while Cori had a broken arm and several burns. “I don’t know how we both got out. I’m lucky to be alive,” Logan said. “The craziest thing about the whole situation is the pilot and I share the same birthday!” Sounds like it was meant to be, right? Well, this story gets even more coincidental (巧合的). Logan has always planned to enter college to learn about planes so that he can become a pilot. The crash has not stopped him, and he still plans to fly in the sky. 1. Where did the accident happen? A．In the forest. B．Near the river. C．On the farm. D．On the beach. 2. What is Para. 2 mainly talking about? A．The result of the accident. B．The cause of the accident. C．Things that happened in the accident. D．What Logan thinks of the accident. 3. What can we learn from Para. 3? A．The crash caused a small fire. B．Logan was brave enough to save the pilot. C．Logan and the pilot didn’t run away in time. D．The pilot was hurt more seriously than Logan. 4. Which of the following is TRUE about the story? ① Logan and the pilot got away just before flames burst. ② Logan plans to be a pilot in the future. ③ The pilot will be Logan’s teacher at college. ④ Logan and the pilot share the same birthday. A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②④ 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. B 4. D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Logan Schneider在农场遭遇直升机坠落事故，不顾危险救出飞行员，两人均受伤幸存，且存在诸多巧合的故事。 1. 第一段提到：“While Logan was helping his brother on the farm in Wenatchee, Washington, a helicopter fell from the sky and landed directly on him.”，因此事故发生在农场。 2. 通读第二段，本段主要介绍了事故发生初期，Logan的状态、看到的情况以及事故的初步发展，讲述的是事故过程中发生的事情。 3. 第三段提到：“Logan reached Cori through the fire and brought him away from the fire.”，这表明Logan非常勇敢，穿越火场救下了飞行员。 4. 第三段提到：“Logan helped him get away just seconds before flames burst 30 feet into the air.”，对应①；第五段提到：“the pilot and I share the same birthday”，对应④；第六段提到：“he still plans to fly in the sky”，对应②。因此①②④正确，文中未提及③。 Passage 6 A British man has learned the skills needed to perform Beijing Opera, making the audience enjoy his lively performance of the Monkey King. Ghaffar Pourazar said he has been a big fan of Bruce Lee since he was a child and is full of interest about China. In 1993, he happened to watch Beijing Opera performed in London. Ghaffar said he fell in love with the beautiful voices, colourful costumes, excellent shows and so on. So after one year, he arrived in China alone and became a student of Beijing Opera at a Beijing school. At the age of 32, he had to learn with teenage students every day. At the time, he was mostly troubled by the dialogue in Beijing Opera. To him, it was the biggest obstacle. But he never gave up. Four years later, he began to learn to perform the Monkey King. He said he arrived in the workroom an hour earlier than other performers and also bought books and CDs to better understand the character. Ghaffar today is not only good at speaking the Beijing dialect but has also built fame for Beijing Opera. He once got a top international prize for performing the Monkey King. To help more people enjoy Beijing Opera, Ghaffar often teaches the traditional art form in schools in the United States, Britain and other countries. When he found that the language was difficult to understand, he started to translate Beijing Opera song lyrics. Ghaffar led a group of actors to perform 66 times in a month and a half in the United States. He also led a 48-member team to perform in Malaysia. In the past 10 years, he has performed in more than 400 shows. 1. When did Ghaffar begin to learn Beijing Opera in Beijing? A．In 1993. B．In 1994. C．In 1998. D．In 1962. 2.

Which of the following can best describe Ghaffar? A．Confident and humorous. B．Creative and honest. C．Helpful and hard-working. D．Brave and polite. 4. In which part of a newspaper can we probably read the passage? A．Sports. B．Culture. C．Business. D．Education. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 4. B 【导语】本文讲述了一名英国人Ghaffar Pourazar学习和表演京剧的经历。 1. 细节理解题。根据“In 1993, he happened to watch Beijing Opera performed in London.”,“So after one year, he arrived in China alone and became a student of Beijing Opera at a Beijing school.”可知，在1993年，他在伦敦观看了京剧表演，而一年后，他来到中国，在北京的一所学校学习京剧。所以他是在1994年在北京学习京剧，故选B。 2. 推理判断题。根据“Ghaffar today is not only good at speaking the Beijing dialect but has also built fame for Beijing Opera. He once got a top international prize for performing the Monkey King.”可知，他曾因表演孙悟空而获得国际最高奖项。可以推知他在京剧方面是成功的，故选A。 3. 推理判断题。根据文中“At the time, he was mostly troubled by the dialogue in Beijing Opera. To him, it was the biggest obstacle. But he never gave up.”以及“He said he arrived in the workroom an hour earlier than other performers and also bought books and CDs to better understand the character.”可知， 学习京剧时遇到困难不放弃以及文章提到提前到工作室，为了钻研角色买书和CD等，都体现他的勤奋“hard-working”。根据“When he found that the language was difficult to understand, he started to translate Beijing Opera song lyrics.”可知，他教京剧、翻译歌词以帮助更多人理解京剧；推断可知他很乐于助人“helpful”。故选C。 4. 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了Ghaffar Pourazar从小对中国充满兴趣，后来努力学习和推广京剧的经历，与中国传统文化相关，因此可以推断这篇文章可能出现在报纸的“文化”版面。故选B。 Passage 7 Kids’ HealthThe flu is a common illness.

In fact, it can cause serious illnesses”“It can pass from one person to another very quickly”，这直接说明流感是一种常见疾病，它能引起严重疾病，还能在人与人之间快速传播，而流感并不等同于普通感冒，所以②③④正确。 3. 文中提到“Don’t give medicine to children under 6 years old by yourself. Go to the doctor first”，这直接说明6岁以下儿童患流感要先去看医生，4岁男孩属于6岁以下。 4. 文章围绕儿童健康方面的流感展开介绍，健康杂志会涉及这类健康相关内容，所以本文可能出现在健康杂志上。 Passage 8 Last Sunday, 10-year-old Lily was at home alone.

She ran to the phone and called her parents. Her parents told her not to open the door, and they would be home soon. The man knocked at the door for a few more minutes, and then left. When Lily’s parents came back, they were very proud of her. They said Lily did the right thing to keep herself safe.

I have a package for your parents.’”，这直接说明这个男人说自己是一名送货员。 3. 第三段说明做法：“Lily didn’t answer.

Wang Xizhi was a Chinese calligrapher, traditionally called the Sage of Calligraphy (书圣). Born in Linyi, Shandong Province, he spent most of his life in the present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang. At the beginning, Wang Xizhi learned the art of calligraphy from Lady Wei. But later through practice, he excelled his teacher. Nobody knows who taught him after Lady Wei. However, there is a story that Wang achieved his success by learning from his dream. It is said that Wang would practice calligraphy every day. Still, he was never pleased with what he wrote. One day, he was so tired that he fell asleep at his desk. In his dream, he saw an old man who said to him with a smile, “I will teach you something and you will find it very helpful in the future. Now reach out your hands.” Only half believing, Wang reached out his hand. The old man wrote a character in his hand and said with a nod. “Now, you will be a calligrapher”. With this, he disappeared in the air. Wang looked at his hand and saw a character “永”. He thought it over for a whole night and finally realized that this character had all the basic strokes (笔划) in forming Chinese calligraphy. After waking up from the dream, Wang kept practicing writing the character ”永”. Later Wang became a well-known calligrapher. It is said that even in his lifetime, a few of Wang’s characters or his signature were priceless. Unluckily, none of his works remain today. Down through the ages, however, many students of calligraphy have learned from and copied his style. 1. What does the underlined word in the 2nd paragraph probably mean? A．Fell behind.

C．A dream which inspired Wang Xizhi. D．A story between Wang Xizhi and his teacher. 3. Why did Wang Xizhi keep on practising the character “永”? A．Because an old man in the dream told him to do it. B．Because Wang found it hard to practise the character. C．Because it had all the basic strokes of Chinese calligraphy. D．Because the character encouraged him to keep on practising. 4. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Wang Xizhi was born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. B．Wang Xizhi learned calligraphy from his mother. C．Some of Wang Xizhi’s works are kept well. D．Wang Xizhi’s style still influences calligraphers. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C 4. D 【导语】本文主要讲了书圣王羲之通过梦中领悟“永”字八法，勤学苦练终成一代书法大师的传说故事。 1. 词句猜测题。根据“Wang Xizhi learned the art of calligraphy from Lady Wei. But later through practice, he excelled his teacher.”可知，他起初师从卫夫人，但后来通过练习超越了老师，因此“excelled”意为“胜过、优于”。故选B。 2. 主旨大意题。第三段讲述了王羲之在梦中得到老人指点，领悟“永”字包含书法所有基本笔画，从而勤加练习终成大家的传说故事。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据“He thought it over for a whole night and finally realized that this character had all the basic strokes in forming Chinese calligraphy.”可知，他练习“永”是因为它包含所有基本笔画。故选C。 4. 细节理解题。根据“Down through the ages, however, many students of calligraphy have learned from and copied his style.”可知，王羲之的书法风格至今仍影响着后学者。故选D。 Passage 10 I used to be a shy girl.

Believe me. It will make your spare time more colourful,” my mother said. She also gave me a nice notebook to save the leaves. There was a park near my home. It was a good place to get leaves. One day, my grandmother went there with me. We walked slowly around it and picked up many leaves. After that, she went there with me several times. “At first, I just wanted to be with you so that you wouldn’t feel lonely.

Workers faced terrible conditions along the way. They had to build tracks through frozen ground, deep forests, and high mountains. In winter, temperatures dropped to -50°C, making it almost impossible to work outside. Many workers fell ill or died from cold and hard labour. However, the Russian people were determined to complete the railway. They built bridges across huge rivers like the Ob and the Yenisei. They dug tunnels through the Ural Mountains. Bit by bit, they pushed forward despite all the difficulties. Today, the Trans-Siberian Railway is not only a symbol of human determination but also an important link between Europe and Asia. It carries millions of passengers and tons of goods every year. As one engineer put it, “We didn’t just build a railway; we conquered nature itself.” 1.

I was a bit ▲ . “Excuse me, can I have a little peace so that I can read?” In fact, I was upset because I failed the exam yesterday. “Oh! I want to read too!” said Tex. “Can you read your book out loud?” “I don’t want to read aloud,” I said more angrily. “Are you in a bad emotion?” Tex asked. “Tex, just leave me alone!” I got up, making my way towards the living room. “What’s up, David?” asked my father. “I’m in a terrible emotion!” I said. “I like organizing things when I’m in a bad emotion,” said my father. I knew he was trying to make me feel better, but I felt even worse. Just then, my friend Ollie stopped by. “Check out my new football.” I walked outside and said, ”I’m too busy being in the world’s worst emotion to do anything at all.” “When I’m in a bad emotion, I move,” said Ollie. He kicked the ball far. We ran to catch it until it finally stopped at a tree. Then we saw a squirrel (松鼠) catch snacks from a bird feeder. “Whoa!” Ollie said in an excited voice. “I never knew squirrels could hang upside down like that.” “Sure,” I giggled (咯咯地笑). “Hey!” said Ollie. “That noise you just made sounded like a laugh.” I smiled, “Possibly.” “Of course, you do.

But everything changed on National Friendship Day. On that day, at school, everyone had to give three gifts to their three best friends. Fiona enjoyed choosing three from all her friends. However, when they began to share their gifts, Fiona was the only one that didn’t receive one! Even Lily, who played with her every day, didn’t give her a gift. When she got home that night, Fiona told her mother what had happened. Her mother touched her head tenderly and said, “You can’t buy friends with a smile or a few good words. If you really want true friends, you will have to give them real time and care. You should be there for them in good times and bad. For most of your classmates, you’re only a playmate.” That night, in bed, Fiona thought about what her mother said.

Two days before Logan Schneider’s 19th birthday, an accident happened to him. While Logan was helping his brother on the farm in Wenatchee, Washington, a helicopter fell from the sky and landed directly on him. Logan was wearing noise-canceling headphones (降噪耳机) just before the crash. He said he heard a couple of thumps (重击声) and looked up just in time to see the helicopter falling straight to him. He hardly had time to think before a fire broke out. As he tried to make his way out, he heard the pilot Cori Johnson shouting for help. “I heard him shouting,” Logan said. “I looked around and saw him hanging upside down. Fire was everywhere. When I was in the moment, I wasn’t thinking. I was just doing.” Logan reached Cori through the fire and brought him away from the fire. Once Cori was on his feet, Logan helped him get away just seconds before flames burst (爆炸) 30 feet into the air. Firefighters arrived and put out the fire. Both Cori and Logan were taken to the hospital. Logan suffered second-degree burns on his arms and got hurt in his back, while Cori had a broken arm and several burns. “I don’t know how we both got out. I’m lucky to be alive,” Logan said. “The craziest thing about the whole situation is the pilot and I share the same birthday!” Sounds like it was meant to be, right?

At the beginning, Wang Xizhi learned the art of calligraphy from Lady Wei. But later through practice, he excelled his teacher. Nobody knows who taught him after Lady Wei. However, there is a story that Wang achieved his success by learning from his dream. It is said that Wang would practice calligraphy every day. Still, he was never pleased with what he wrote. One day, he was so tired that he fell asleep at his desk. In his dream, he saw an old man who said to him with a smile, “I will teach you something and you will find it very helpful in the future. Now reach out your hands.” Only half believing, Wang reached out his hand. The old man wrote a character in his hand and said with a nod. “Now, you will be a calligrapher”. With this, he disappeared in the air. Wang looked at his hand and saw a character “永”. He thought it over for a whole night and finally realized that this character had all the basic strokes (笔划) in forming Chinese calligraphy. After waking up from the dream, Wang kept practicing writing the character ”永”. Later Wang became a well-known calligrapher.

Believe me. It will make your spare time more colourful,” my mother said. She also gave me a nice notebook to save the leaves. There was a park near my home. It was a good place to get leaves. One day, my grandmother went there with me. We walked slowly around it and picked up many leaves.
