He took much money and food, found a good wheeler (车夫) and a horse, and then began his trip. Chu was to the south of Wei, but this man couldn’t tell the difference when the wheeler rode away to the north. On the way, he met a traveler. When the traveler knew that he was going to Chu, he asked, “Chu is in the south. When can you arrive there if you go north?” The man didn’t care, because his horse was the best and could run quickly. The traveler said, “Your horse is fast, but it will be farther and farther away from Chu in this direction. You will never reach Chu.” The man still didn’t worry about that, because he took enough money and food. So the traveler said, “But you’re still going the wrong way.” The man said, “It doesn’t matter. My wheeler is very skilled!” After hearing that, the traveler didn’t say anything and watched helplessly as the man went away. 26．Where did the man come from? A．The State of Chu. B．The State of Wei.

People don’t go there very often. It’s only on hot summer days that brave people go to for a quick swim there. But it’s not only because of the temperature of the water that people don’t go, but also because they believe that it’s dangerous to swim there. The story goes that one day, in the middle of the last century, some fishermen were out on the lake in their boat. When they pulled up their net, they saw they had caught something strange with a human face, long green hair and a tail like a fish. They were totally scared, and tried to kill it. But just then, a heavy thunderstorm began. The men were never seen again, but their boat was found a few days later. To be honest, I don’t believe a single word of the story. But recently a local newspaper published an interview with some people who said that they had seen it while they were walking around the lake. 29．Why do only brave people go for a quick swim in the lake? A．Because the water is very cold. B．Because people believe that it’s dangerous to swim there. C．Because it’s in the middle of the mountains. D．Because the water is very cold and people believe that it’s dangerous to swim there. 30．When did the story happen according to the passage? A．Recently. B．A few days later. C．In the middle of the last century. D．On hot summer days. 31．What does the writer think of the story? A．False. B．Interesting. C．Funny. D．True.

His story teaches us the power of fighting for something and the importance of setting good examples for the other people. Hou Yi, a skilled archer who saves humans from the scorching heat of ten suns by shooting down nine of them. This act of bravery not only cools the earth but also highlights the actions to protect our world and the people we care about. Hou Yi’s story inspires us to face the challenges with courage and skill. In this story, the sky fell down, causing problems on Earth. Nü Wa, a kind goddess, decided to fix the sky to save the world. She collected stones from a river and used them to rebuild the sky. Also, she killed a huge turtle to use its legs as pillars to support the sky. Her actions returned peace and order to the world. 32．What’s the lesson from Yu Gong’s story? A．Moving the village. B．Trying the best. C．Laughing at people.

One lovely spring day, the grasshopper was singing his favorite song with a guitar in his hands, when a little ant passed by. “Little ant, why don’t you come and sing along to my songs?” the grasshopper asked. “I must prepare for the winter, and so should you,” replied the ant. The grasshopper laughed. That sounded like too much work and quite boring. Besides, winter was such a long way away and he had plenty to eat at the moment. Summer and autumn came and went, and the grasshopper continued to laze about while the ant was busy working day and night. The ant reminded him to prepare for the winter but he turned a deaf ear. But winter came earlier than usual that year and the grasshopper became worried because he hadn’t made any preparations. He saw the ant was happy in his warm house with his food. But he was cold and running out of food. Nor did he have a place to live in. “The little ant was right!” he thought sadly. “I must not be so silly next year. I should have prepared earlier.” Luckily, the ant was glad to share food with him, but the grasshopper learned how important it is to work hard and be prepared. 36．The title of the passage is ________.

They were finishing the plums when they saw a very angry little fat man, who was hurrying through the trees. 42 But when he saw that the children had wings, his mouth fell open and his face went green.

We thought that it wasn’t stealing, but now I’m not so sure. 43 .” The little man sat there on the ground and looked up into the sky. “Talking birds! Children with wings! This is a new lesson for me. 44 ” he said. And he went into the house and was very happy with his wife. 45 So the children stopped first at one house, then another, to ask for something to eat. They didn’t get anything because everyone was afraid of them and screamed and ran away when they saw them. By four o’clock they were getting very tired and hungry, so they flew down onto the roof of a church, to think what to do. “We can’t possibly fly all the way home without something to eat,” said Robert.

One day, while he was working in the field, he saw a hare run into a tree stump by accident and die. The farmer took the hare home and cooked a delicious meal for himself. That night, he thought, “I don’t have to work so hard. All I have to do is to wait for a hare every day by the tree stump.” So from then on, he gave up farming, and waited by the tree stump. But just from then on, he never saw another hare run into the tree stump. This story tells us we will get nothing unless we work hard. Remember: no pain, no gain. 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
