Passage 1
It is summer. The sun is shining brightly. The Grasshopper is lying under the shade. The Ants (蚂蚁) are busy doing something. The Grasshopper thinks it is crazy of the ants to work hard on such a hot day.
The Ants are busy collecting food. The Grasshopper says to himself, “Look at those silly Worker Ants! They are like slaves (奴隶). Look at their sweat! Terrible!”
The Grasshopper doesn’t understand why the Ants are working so hard. But, he becomes a little curious (好奇的) and says to the Queen Ant, “Come under the shade and rest for a while.” The Queen Ant doesn’t agree and goes on working hard. “Why are you collecting food?” The Grasshopper asks. “It will be winter soon. We must be prepared.” The Queen Ant answers. The Grasshopper continues to say, “Winter is far away. There is lots of food everywhere. Stop working. Come to sing and dance with me.” The Queen Ant says nothing and just walks away.
When winter comes, the Grasshopper looks around for food in the cold. He is freezing and starving to death (死亡), but he can’t find any food. The Grasshopper is about to fall to the ground when suddenly he thinks of the Queen Ant and Worker Ants.
The Grasshopper comes to the Queen Ant’s house and knocks at the door. The Queen Ant opens the door in surprise. The Grasshopper tells the Queen Ant that he hasn’t eaten for five days. The Queen Ant feels sorry for the Grasshopper and goes to the kitchen to get some bread.
The other ants all laugh at the Grasshopper and say, “If you were foolish enough to sing all summer, then you must go to bed hungry in the winter.”

【知识点】文学名著、记叙文
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。节选自《老人与海》,主要讲述了一位老渔夫与一个男孩之间的故事。老人已经连续八十四天没有捕到鱼,男孩的父母认为老人不吉利,因此让男孩离开老人,去另一条船上捕鱼。
33. 细节理解题。根据文章第1段“But after forty days without a fish, the boy’s parents tell him that the old man is unlucky, and the boy has to listen to his parents and stays in another boat which catches three good fish the first week.”可知,男孩停止与老人一起钓鱼是因为他的父母认为老人不吉利。故选A。
34. 词句猜测题。根据文章第3段划线句“Everything about him is old except (除了) his eyes and they are the same color as the sea and the light in his eyes is like the dancing waves (浪花).”可知,他的一切都显得苍老,除了他的眼睛,它们与大海的颜色相同,眼中的光芒如同舞动的浪花。可推知老人虽然年老,但他的眼睛充满了希望和对大海的热爱。故选B。
35. 词句猜测题。根据“It is papa who makes me leave. I am a boy and I must do what he tells me.”以及“‘I know.’ the old man says, ‘I quite understand that.’”可知,男孩父亲让男孩离开,老人表示理解这一点。可推知“that”指的是男孩必须听从父母的话离开老人。故选B。
36. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“They sit on...they have seen.”可知,他们坐在河岸上,许多渔夫取笑老人,但他并不生气。其他一些年长的渔夫看着他,感到悲伤。但他们没有表现出来,而是礼貌地谈论着大海、天气和他们所看到的事情。由此可推知,老人虽然遭遇挫折,但他依然保持平静,继续出海捕鱼。故选D。
Passage 10
Ali Baba walks in the forest. He sees a group of thieves come to the foot of the mountain. “One, two, three...” Ali Baba counts. There are forty thieves. One thief says, “Open, Sesame (芝麻开门).” Then a door opens and a cave (洞) shows up in the mountain. The thieves go in with many boxes of heavy things, and the door closes behind them.
Soon the door opens again, and the thieves come out. The same thief says, “Shut, Sesame.” And the door closes. The thieves ride their horses away.
Ali Baba walks near the mountain and says, “Open, Sesame.” The door of the cave opens at once. In the cave, Ali Baba sees lots of gold. He takes many boxes of gold home happily with his donkey (毛驴).
Ali Baba tells his wife about his good luck. His wife is also happy. “So much gold! We are rich now. Let’s weigh (称重) the gold!” his wife says. But they don’t have a scale (秤), so Ali Baba’s wife goes to borrow (借) one from his brother Cassim.
Cassim’s wife thinks, “They are so poor. What do they have to weigh?” To find it out, she puts some honey on the scale. When Ali Baba gives back the scale, she finds a small piece of gold in the honey. She tells Cassim the thing quickly. Cassim comes to Ali Baba’s house soon and asks, “Where did you get the gold?” Ali Baba tells him the story.

【导语】本文节选自《阿里巴巴和四十大盗》,主要讲述了阿里巴巴发现山洞,并从山洞里拿回金子的故事。
37. 词义猜测题。根据“In the cave, Ali Baba sees lots of gold. He takes many boxes of gold home happily with his donkey (毛驴).”可知,阿里巴巴在山洞里看到了很多黄金,并带了许多箱回家,所以“gold”是指“黄金”,故选D。
38. 细节理解题。根据“Ali Baba tells his wife about his good luck. His wife is also happy.”可知,黄金使阿里巴巴和他的妻子开心,故选B。
39. 细节理解题。根据“The thieves go in with many boxes of heavy things, and the door closes behind them.”,“So much gold! We are rich now.”,“Cassim’s wife thinks... she puts some honey on the scale.”及“Cassim comes to Ali Baba’s house soon and asks, ‘Where did you get the gold?’ Ali Baba tells him the story.”可知,一群小偷将许多盒子放在山洞里,然后阿里巴巴和他的妻子得到了黄金,接着卡西姆的妻子在秤上涂了一些蜂蜜,最后阿里巴巴的兄弟知道了在哪里可以找到黄金。所以正确顺序为b-d-c-a,故选B。
40. 推理判断题。根据“But they don’t have a scale (秤), so Ali Baba’s wife goes to borrow (借) one from his brother Cassim.”及“Cassim’s wife thinks, ‘They are so poor. What do they have to weigh?’”可知,阿里巴巴很穷家里没有秤,所以去卡西姆家里借,由此推测卡西姆的生活比阿里巴巴更好,故选A。
