【中考真题】
One day, my friend Mareya called. “Nora, I will travel to Hawaii. There will be beaches, sandcastles…” she said. Her words made me have a strange feeling. I was happy for her but envied her a little. “Oh, well,” I thought, “I will have a hiking trip with Olivia. That will also be very interesting.”
Later that day, I learnt Olivia would visit her uncle’s new beach house. So we had to put off our hiking trip. “I’m really sorry. But you understand, right?” she said. “Oh, sure,” I said. I tried to push the corners of my mouth into a smile, but inside, my heart was sinking.
At that time, I saw Mrs. Daisy in her garden. I offered to help her water the flowers in the hope of taking my mind off unpleasant feelings. Watering the flowers made me feel good but I still couldn’t stop wishing I could also be on holiday with my friends.
“Be careful!” Mrs. Daisy said. “That is a harmful plant. I’ll get it out of here.” Suddenly, I realized what I was watering. Mrs. Daisy was aware of my bad mood, smiled at me and said, “Dear Nora, plants or feelings, we should watch what we’re watering, right? If we nourish the harmful plants or bad feelings, then that’s what we have. But if we try to nourish the beautiful flowers or good feelings, then that’s what we get.” “I guess that makes sense,” I said, “but I fail to tell my mind to stop being sad.” “Just let yourself feel all of your feelings,” she said, “but after a while, you can try feeding your mind with happier thoughts. Talk to a friend, go for a run or just enjoy the beauty of a flower.”
I thought Mrs. Daisy’s advice was worth trying. So I called Olivia at once. After sharing my feelings with her, I cheered up again and moreover we both agreed to have our hiking trip after she came back.

“Take a seat, kids!” Miss King announced. As kids ran towards the campfire, Miss King turned to Quill, “I’ll leave for a while, just bring the kids watermelons and tell them a story.” “Sure.” said Quill, his hands becoming wet. Quill was good at showing kids how to climb rocks, but he was not a good storyteller.
Quill asked in a low voice, “What kind of story do you like?” A boy named Caden answered, “A ghost story!” Alice rolled her eyes and other kids also shouted, “Quill will tell a lovely story, Caden.” “A ghost story!” Caden insisted. Just then, Quill felt a pull from Emma, the quietest in the group, “I’m afraid of ghost stories.”
“What am I going to tell?” Quill thought and then said slowly, “I’m going to tell…a…a toast story.” Caden protested. “A toast story? I want a ghost story!” “You’ll see,” Quill said, “Long long ago, there was a piece of bread... named Bob.” Some kids smiled. Quill talked faster, “One day, Bob was put onto a wooden platform. Bob started crying.” “Bread can’t cry!” Caden shouted. Quill’s ears turned red.
“What happened next?” Emma asked. Quill had no idea, but he quickly looked at Caden, “Cade n is going to tell us.” Caden sat up, “Am I?” “Yes, it’s a group story.” Quill answered. Caden said in a scaring voice, “Bob was sure this was the end of his day. Then, a long, shiny thing appeared over him.”
“A knife!” Alice shouted. “Alice, it’s your turn.” Quill said. Alice added, “Then something dropped. The knife spread it all over Bob.” “Salad cream.” said Emma and pulled Quill’s T-shirt. Alice continued, “Suddenly, a giant hand lifted Bob towards a big hole. Bob screamed, ‘Help!’ ”
Caden wanted to cut in, but Alice stopped him. Quill smiled at Emma. Emma took a deep breath, and said, “Bob screamed again. The hand was surprised and dropped Bob. Bob ran away.”
“So, the bread is free.” Caden cut in.
“Not finished!” Emma shouted, “Just then, a bread truck appeared. Bob ran towards it. But something big followed him.”
“What was that?” a kid asked. Emma sat forward. Caden could feel his own breath, as if he was also there with Bob. SNAP! Emma clapped her hands. Everyone jumped up and asked, “What happened?” “A dog ate him.” Emma said, laughing.
In the rest of the night, all the kids were talking about that dog.

I have lived in China for six years, but still think the country is mysterious. So I made up my mind to go on a 3-month cycling journey to discover more.
My cycling journey was very safe in China because I never had a moment in which I felt I was in danger. Wherever I went, there was always phone signal, and even WeChat pay.
The beauty of nature was also fantastic. It simply took my breath away when I cycled on the way. With thick forests, blue lakes and green hills, there was so much to see.
The food was another highlight of my journey. I got to taste local food in every place I went. My favourite was the spicy food in Sichuan. No matter how much I ate, I never got sick of having different Chinese foods. There were so many different choices.
In addition, cycling in China cost less than I thought. I could even save some money during the trip to support a local charity.
The best part was about people. I met people from different ethnic minorities (少数民族) across China and I was even invited to attend a wedding by Tibetan girls. The wedding was amazing, full of dancing, laughter and fun. One time I me t a group of Chinese men who were also travelling, but by motorcycle. They invited me to stay with them in the mountains. We cooked fish that we caught from the lake together. It felt like true freedom from the busy feeling of daily life. Another example was impressive. When I met a group of cyclists in their 60s, they cycled better than me. It really encouraged me to push myself and go farther every day. Also, an experienced cyclist saved me when I got a flat tire (爆胎). He helped fix my tire.
By the end of my journey, I wanted to keep going. I felt like I could do it forever. It was truly an experience I will never forget. If anyone wants to explore in China, I would highly recommend going by bicycle.

As the spirit spoke, they passed through the wall and stood on a country road with fields on either side. The city had disappeared. It was now day time, and there was snow on the ground.
“I know where we are!” Scrooge shouted. “I was born here and lived here as a boy.” He began to have memories of his childhood. A tear (眼泪) came into his eye.
“If you remember this place,” the spirit said, “you may now lead the way.”
They walked along the road until a little town could be seen ahead with its bridge, church, and river. Some small horses came towards them with boys upon their backs. When the boys came nearer, Scrooge recognized each of them and could call out their names. He felt so happy to see them all again. All these boys shouted to each other until the fields were full of their laughter.
“We are now at the school,” said the spirit. “Only one child is there, left alone by the others.” Hearing what he said, Scrooge burst into tears.
They walked through the school house until they came to a room that was empty except for a small boy sitting at a desk, reading. The room seemed very old and needed to be repaired. The spirit pointed to the boy. Scrooge looked at the boy, sat down and couldn’t help crying. It was Scrooge when he was young.
Suddenly, a man wearing strange clothes stood outside the window. He was leading a horse. “It’s Ali Baba!” Scrooge shouted excitedly. “It’s dear, old, honest Ali Baba! Yes, yes, I remember.”
Scrooge remembered how lonely he had been as a child. “Poor boy!” he said, and tears came into his eyes again. “I wish,” he said, putting his hands in his pocket and looking around him after drying his eyes, “but it’s too late now.”
“What do you wish?” asked the spirit.

Grandma had a thin face and endless false Indian jewelry, which hung heavily from her slim neck. Because she lived down the hill from us, we called her Grandma-down-the-hill. This was to tell her from our mother’s mother, who we called Grandma-over-in-town because she lived fifteen miles south, in the only town of the country.
Dad and his mother got along like two cats with their tails tied together. They could talk for a week and not agree about anything, but they were connected by their love for the mountain, the place where they were born. My father’s family had been living at the base of Buck’s Peak for half a century. Grandma’s daughters had married and moved away, but my father stayed. He was building a poor yellow house, just up the hill from his mother’s, and a junkyard (废品堆积场)—next to her beautiful garden.
They argued daily, about the mess from the junkyard but more often about us kids. Grandma thought we should be in school but not running across the mountain like animals. Dad said public school was a trick played by the Government to lead children away from God. “I would rather give my kids to the devil (魔鬼) than send them to school,” he said.
Dad was crazy about God. One day, God told Dad to share his messages with the people who lived in Buck’s Peak. On Sundays, nearly everyone gathered at the hall. Dad started with his cousin Jim, the owner of the big milk farm a mile north of Buck’s Peak. When Dad waved his Bible (《圣经》) and explained the guilt of milk, Jim laughed. Then he clapped Dad on the shoulder and said God would never take a healthy milk and bread breakfast away from a man. As he walked past, I suddenly remembered: the biggest milk farm in town was Jim’s.

①One dark winter night in 1823, Madame Thénardier sent Cosette out to the river for water again. Cosette ran to the river and then, with her heavy bucket (桶) of water, she began to walk home. The trees were noisy tonight, whispering and laughing at her, and the little girl began to cry.

⑦The big man stopped. He put the bucket down and looked into Cosette’s face.
⑧“Why are you carrying a heavy bucket of water at this time of night? Who sent you?”
⑨“Madame Thénardier.”
⑩“I would like to talk to this Madame Thénardier. Shall we go and see her?”
⑪“Yes, Monsieur.” Cosette was not afraid of the tree noises now. This big man, with his gentle voice, was a new and wonderful thing in her life. They walked to the Thénardiers’ house.
⑫“Please, Monsieur, can I carry the bucket now?”
⑬“But why?”

⑮He gave her the bucket.

So I put on the clothes and practised walking like a girl. “What do you think, Jim?”
“Very good, Huck. Nobody will know you’re really a boy! Ha ha ha!”
I took the canoe (独木舟) and paddled across the river to the town. Very soon I met a woman and we started talking. This wasn’t good news for Jim. She told me that her husband and another man were looking for a runaway slave (奴隶).
“They’re going to Jackson’s Island tonight to catch him,” she said.
I hurried back to the cave to tell him.
“Jim! They know you’re here. They’re coming to get you tonight. We must leave now!”
We put all our things, including the canoe, on the big raft (木筏) and set off down the river for the town of Cairo, where the Mississippi and the Ohio rivers meet.
We didn’t get to Cairo. We ran into a thick fog on the river one night and we couldn’t see a yard in front of us. The next day it cleared but there was no sight of a town that looked like Cairo.
“Maybe we missed it in the fog,” Jim said.
So we continued drifting down the river because the raft couldn’t sail back up the river against the current.
We had a few adventures on the way but nobody caught us. Our life on the raft was very pleasant and I was enjoying myself. During the day we made a camp under the trees and slept. As soon as it got dark we set off again. Jim made a special platform on the raft where we could make a small fire to cook fish. After dinner we swam in the moonlight or lay on our backs looking at the stars. Then one morning something happened and our lives changed.
I was paddling up a side river to look for berries for breakfast when two men suddenly ra n out of the woods.
“Help! Please help us!” they shouted, “Some men with dogs are chasing us! They want to kill us!?” One of the men was about seventy years old, the other was about thirty, and they both had very old, dirty clothes.
I felt sorry for them. I told them to get onto the raft and we paddled back to the camp.

It was winter. Snow and ice covered the land. The land was silent and empty. It was the wild. But in these dark, cold winter forests in Northland, there was life.
The she-wolf was at the front of the pack (狼群). She was large and her colour was reddish. Next to her were two males. One was a large gray wolf. On her right side was another older wolf, called One Eye. His left eye was blind. They both wanted her as a mate (配偶).
They ran all that day and night, and the next day. The world was frozen and dead. Only the wolves were alive and they were looking for other living things to eat and continue to live.
Finally, they found a big moose. They were so hungry that the whole pack attacked him. He fought hard, kicking and hitting the wolves. But there were too many wolves and they killed him and ate him quickly. There was meat for each wolf. Soon the pack started to run in all directions. One Eye and the she-wolf became friendly and they ran side by side, hunting and eating together.
Soon the she-wolf felt she needed to find a small cave. She found a dry and warm one near a stream. She looked around carefully, and decided that this was the right place. She lay down. One Eye lay down outside the cave. It was April. Spring was coming. Water was starting to run in the stream, birds were singing and One Eye left the cave to explore.
Later inside the cave he heard small noises and saw five wolf cubs (幼兽) lying beside the she-wolf. She snarled (怒吼) at him, and he moved back. He knew now he must hunt for food. When he came back, he gave some meat to his mate. Then the she-wolf turned and licked (舔) his neck. This time, she did not snarl or show her teeth. She understood he was being a good wolf-father and that he didn’t want to eat her five cubs.

The phrase “entertaining angels unaware” puzzled me for years. How could someone host a heavenly being without realizing it? The answer arrived in the form of Miss McKenzie, my strict yet unexpectedly kind schoolteacher. With her gray hair pinned in a neat bun and round cheeks flushed like roses, she seemed ordinary. Yet, she held the key to a future I never dared to imagine.
Growing up in a working-class family, college felt like a distant dream. My father had passed away, and money was scarce. My plan was simple: graduate, find a job, and help support my family. But Miss McKenzie saw something more. Unknown to us, she forced the headmaster to put my name forward for a special scholarship open to children who showed some promise, and who would receive further education. He agreed, although he was a bit worried about the cost of keeping me at college for a whole year. “What if she fails? ” the headmaster worried. Miss McKenzie slammed her hand on his desk and declared, “I'd bet my bottom dollar on this girl! ”
I shook at the passion (激情) in her voice, and at her trust in me “What if I fail her?” I thought to myself. “What if she has to pay all the money back if I let her down?” I knew we hadn’t a spare dollar to repay anybody, and I was sick with a sense of responsibility in case I messed up.
The time at college went by quickly. At the end of my year at college, I was able to lay before her the college gold medal as the year's top student and a whole pile of awards.
And suddenly as I looked at her, and saw her eyes shining with pride behind the gold-rimmed (金边的) glasses, I realized how widely she had thrown open the door of chance for me. And I knew for the first time what the phrase “entertaining angels unaware” meant. For there, standing before me in class, was my very own angel, Miss McKenzie.

After escaping Long John Silver, I felt a mix of relief and fear. Though I had gotten away, I knew he was still hiding somewhere on the island. While searching for a safer spot, I heard voices nearby—Silver and a sailor named Tom.
“I want you with me! ” Silver shouted. “When we have the treasure, there’s gold for you too!” “Never!” cried Tom. “I’m not a murderer. You’re guilty, all of you! ” Sadly, these were the last words of Tom. It was a gunshot, Silver’s gun.
My heart raced as I ran deeper into the forest, not caring which direction I took. Suddenly, a figure moved between the trees. Was it a wild animal? A pirate? Even Silver himself appeared less terrible to me now.
The shadow crept closer. “Who are you?” I whispered, stepping back. “Ben Gunn,” the man replied softly. His clothes were tom, and his eyes looked haunted. “I’ve been alone here for three years. Who are you? “Jim Hawkins,” I answered.
Ben pointed shakily toward the distant ship offshore. “Is that Captain Flint’s ship?” he asked, his voice trembling.
“No. Flint is dead,” I explained. “But there are some of his old hands abroad.” like Silver.”
“Not a man. . . with one. . . leg?” Ben asked in a tremulous voice, with his pale face and scared eyes.
“You mean Silver? He once worked as a cook on the ship.” I added. “Now, he is also on the island to find Flint’s treasure. He wants to kill anyone in their way and take over the ship!”
Ben nodded slowly. “I was on Flint’s ship when he buried the treasure. Six sailors helped him dig, but only Flint returned alive. No one knows how he made it, not a man except him could make out. It was a battle, a murder and a sudden death—him against six.” His words sent a chill down my spine.
Before I could ask more, loud explosions shook the island. Smoke rose near the shore—the pirates were fighting! Ben grabbed my arm. “We must hide! Silver won’t stop until he gets what he wants.”
Together, we hurried into the forest, unsure if we’d ever escape the island—or Silver’s greed.

Mary Lennox was born in India. She had a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair. Her hair was yellow, and her face was yellow and always ill in one way or another. Her father worked for the government there. He was always busy and ill himself and her mother was a great beauty who cared only to go to parties. So Mary spent all her time with the Indian servants. She had an Ayah, a nurse, who looked after her. The Ayah’s job was to keep the little girl away from her parents as much as possible. The Ayah gave Mary whatever she wanted and the little girl became very selfish. She loved no one, and not anyone cared for her at all. Mary wasn’t pretty like her mother; she was often ill. She never smiled and she was always cross with the servants (仆人). One day, one of the servants died of cholera (霍乱), a terrible disease. The next day, three more servants died. After that, the others ran away. Mary went to bed and slept for a long, long time. When she woke up, the house was quiet. She called her Ayah, but no one came. She got up and looked around. She was alone. The only other living thing in the house was a little snake that looked at her with eyes like jewels. She wasn’t afraid because she knew that the snake was not dangerous.
Then Mary heard footsteps. She was in her room when a soldier in uniform opened the door. The man was surprised to see a little girl there. He called to another soldier outside. “Poor little girl!” said the officer. “There is no one in the house. Everyone else, including your parents, had died or fled.” It was true that there was no one in the house but herself and the little rustling snake. After her parents’ death, Mary travelled to England on a ship with a soldier’s wife. “You are going to be sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with your uncle,” she told Mary.

On a hot afternoon after a thunder storm, in Maycomb, other kids were having fun swimming in the river. But Scout and her brother Jem sat on their porch, watching Atticus Finch, their father, return home from work. Atticus was a quiet lawyer with gentle eyes, and he always answered his children’s questions patiently, no matter how silly they seemed.
That day, Scout asked, “Atticus, why do people in town talk about you defending (辩护) Tom Robinson? They say it’s a bad thing.” Atticus put down his newspaper and looked at her seriously. “Scout, courage isn’t a man with a gun in his hand. Courage is that knowing you will surely lose before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what happens,” he said. “Tom Robinson is a man who needs someone to stand up for him. He’s black, but it doesn’t mean he is guilty. We can’t judge (判断) a person by the colour of their skin, but by the quality of their character.”
Jem nodded, though he didn’t fully understand. Atticus continued, “Most people are good when you finally see them. But sometimes, they’re blinded by ignorance (无知). It’s our job to be kind, even when others aren’t.” That evening, Atticus spent hours reading books to them as usual. He didn’t shout or require respect. He won it through his words and actions.
Weeks later, when Atticus defended Tom Robinson, Scout and Jem watched quietly. They saw their father speak calmly and honestly, presenting evidence. Though the jury (陪审团) found Tom guilty in the end, Scout realized something important: Atticus defended Tom Robinson, not because it was easy, but because it showed justice (正义). She thought back to Atticus’s words about courage and knew her father was the bravest man she’d ever met.

In 1972, Richard Sears, a young American began learning Chinese because of his interest in traditional Chinese culture. Drawn to the ancient language, he went to China to study Chinese in the 1990s.
In 1994, Richard Sears decided to put the ancient Chinese characters online. Then, in 2002, he did it. That is the beginning of the Chinese Etymology (汉字字源) website. “My website did not get much attention for the next few years. Until one day in 2011, it suddenly got a lot of attention. I got a few thousand emails, and a few million visitors and people started calling me ‘Uncle Hanzi’,” Sears said with a smile. Hanzi means Chinese characters. He has put more than 96,000 ancient Chinese characters onto the website. “When I study each character, I wonder what the ancient Chinese thought,” said Sears.
After visiting many Chinese cities, Sears learned more about China and ancient Chinese culture. He said when he came to China in the last century, few Chinese could speak good English. “However, you can hear English in many places in China now. Chinese language and culture were mysterious and not known by people in most countries then, but now, more and more people in the world are learning Chinese, even Chinese history, traditional Chinese medicine and so on,” Sears added.
At present, the 70-year-old American has made his home in China. “When I die, I hope my website will live on; and I’m planning to write a book about my research. This will be my gift to China,” he said.
1.What does “Drawn to the ancient language” mean in Paragraph1?
A.Sears was interested in ancient Chinese.
B.Sears had to study Chinese characters.
C.Sears could draw Chinese characters well.
D.Sears could speak ancient Chinese very well.
2.What did Sears put on the Chinese Etymology website?
A.Chinese history. B.Ancient Chinese characters.
C.The daily life of Richard Sears. D.Traditional Chinese medicine.
3.From the passage, we can infer that Sears set up the website to ________.
A.become famous
B.get the nickname “Uncle Hanzi”

D.A Young American and Traditional Chinese Culture
After Mary’s parents’ death, she went to her uncle’s house by train. Mary looked out of the window. Everything outside was grey. It was raining. She looked at the rain for a long time and soon she was asleep.
The next two days it rained, so Mary couldn’t go outside. Then, on the third morning, when she opened her eyes and looked out of the window, she had a big surprise. She called to Martha, “Martha! Come and look at the moor!”
There was no wind or rain and the sky was deep blue. “Yes,” said Martha with a smile. “The spring’s coming.” After breakfast, Martha went to visit her mother for the day. Mary felt lonely in the house without her. So she went outside into the bright sunshine. Ben was in the vegetable garden. He didn’t look angry that day so she went to speak to him.
“The spring’s coming,” he said to her.
The robin (知更鸟) appeared and sat on the ground near them.
“Is spring coming in the secret garden, too?” Mary asked Ben, “Or are all the flowers dead?”
“No one can go in. Ask the robin,” said Ben, “He’s the only one who knows.” And he went back to work.
The robin was jumping around on the ground. Mary was watching it when she saw something on the earth. It was an old key. “The key to the secret garden!” She shouted excitedly.
The next morning, Mary walked around the big garden.
Then she saw the robin sitting on a long branch (树枝) of the wall. He chirped. Mary went up to him.
“You showed me the key yesterday,” she said. “Can you show me the door today?”
The robin flew to the top of the wall and began to sing loudly. Suddenly, the wind blew the long branch to one side. Mary caught it in her hand and held it because she could see something under it—a door!

“Well, as I told you, Mr. Sherlock Holmes,” said Wilson, “I have a small shop at Saxe-Coburg Square. It’s not very large and in recent years it is not very successful. In the past I had two assistants (助手). Now I have one, and I can only pay him because he would like to work for half wages (工资) in order to learn the business. ① .”
“What’s the name of the young man?” asked Sherlock Holmes.
“His name is Vincent Spaulding, and he’s not so young, either. It’s hard to tell his age. I could not have a smarter assistant, Mr. Holmes. I know very well that he could get a better job and make twice what I give him. ② But, he is happy.”
“The first thing that disturbed (干扰) us was that advertisement. Spaulding came into the office eight weeks ago, with this paper in his hand, and he said he wished he was a red-headed man, because there was another vacancy at the League of Red-Headed Men. He could get much money if he could get it.”
“Have you never heard of the League of Red-Headed Men?” asked Sherlock Holmes. “You are suitable for one of the vacancies.”
“Tell me all about it,” said Mr. Wilson.
“Oh, each vacancy pays two hundred pounds a year. ③ ” said Sherlock Holmes. “From the advertisement, you can see for yourself that the League has a vacancy. An American millionaire named Ezekiah Hopkins set up the League. Ezekiah Hopkins was very strange in his ways. He was red-headed and he liked all red-headed men. So when he died, he wanted to give all his money to men with red hair. It’s good pay and there is very little to do.”
“But there are millions of red-headed men,” said Mr. Wilson.
“ ④ You see it is only for Londoners and grown men. This American came from London, and he wanted to do something good for the old town. Your hair is perfect,” Sherlock Holmes said.

【中考真题】
One day, my friend Mareya called. “Nora, I will travel to Hawaii. There will be beaches, sandcastles…” she said. Her words made me have a strange feeling. I was happy for her but envied her a little. “Oh, well,” I thought, “I will have a hiking trip with Olivia. That will also be very interesting.”
Later that day, I learnt Olivia would visit her uncle’s new beach house. So we had to put off our hiking trip. “I’m really sorry. But you understand, right?” she said. “Oh, sure,” I said. I tried to push the corners of my mouth into a smile, but inside, my heart was sinking.
At that time, I saw Mrs. Daisy in her garden. I offered to help her water the flowers in the hope of taking my mind off unpleasant feelings. Watering the flowers made me feel good but I still couldn’t stop wishing I could also be on holiday with my friends.
“Be careful!” Mrs. Daisy said. “That is a harmful plant. I’ll get it out of here.” Suddenly, I realized what I was watering. Mrs. Daisy was aware of my bad mood, smiled at me and said, “Dear Nora, plants or feelings, we should watch what we’re watering, right? If we nourish the harmful plants or bad feelings, then that’s what we have. But if we try to nourish the beautiful flowers or good feelings, then that’s what we get.” “I guess that makes sense,” I said, “but I fail to tell my mind to stop being sad.” “Just let yourself feel all of your feelings,” she said, “but after a while, you can try feeding your mind with happier thoughts. Talk to a friend, go for a run or just enjoy the beauty of a flower.”
I thought Mrs. Daisy’s advice was worth trying. So I called Olivia at once. After sharing my feelings with her, I cheered up again and moreover we both agreed to have our hiking trip after she came back.
—Adapted from the story by Lissa Rovetch

A.Because Mrs. Daisy needed Nora’s help.
B.Because Mrs. Daisy invited Nora to enjoy flowers.
C.Because Nora hoped to ask Mrs. Daisy for advice.
D.Because Nora wanted to forget unpleasant feelings.
3.What does the underlined word “nourish” probably mean in Paragraph 4?

C.Help something grow. D.Make something disappear.
4.What does the writer really want to tell readers?
A.Watering flowers to change moods. B.Helping old people to gain wisdom.
C.Ways of getting along well with friends. D.Dealing with our feelings in a proper way.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.C 4.D
【导语】本文主要讲述了 Nora 因朋友的假期计划与自己的安排冲突而心情低落,通过帮 Daisy 夫人浇花并得到她的开导,最终学会以恰当方式处理情绪的故事。
1.细节理解题。根据“I tried to push the corners of my mouth into a smile, but inside, my heart was sinking.”以及“but I still couldn’t stop wishing I could also be on holiday with my friends.”可知,当 Nora 得知两位朋友的计划后,心里有些难过、低落。“blue”有“忧郁的;难过的”之意,所以她感觉有点沮丧。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据“I offered to help her water the flowers in the hope of taking my mind off unpleasant feelings.”可知,Nora 主动帮 Daisy 夫人浇花是因为她想忘记不愉快的情绪。故选D。
3.词句猜测题。根据“If we nourish the harmful plants or bad feelings, then that’s what we have. But if we try to nourish the beautiful flowers or good feelings, then that’s what we get.”结合语境,此处是说如果我们“滋养”有害的植物或坏情绪,那我们拥有的就是这些;如果滋养美丽的花或好情绪,得到的就是美好事物。所以“nourish”意为“帮助……生长;滋养”,与“Help something grow”意思相近。故选C。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章通过 Nora 的经历,传达了要以恰当的方式处理自己的情绪(如允许自己感受情绪,之后用更快乐的想法滋养心灵)这一主旨。所以作者真正想告诉读者的是要恰当地处理我们的情绪。故选D。
“Take a seat, kids!” Miss King announced. As kids ran towards the campfire, Miss King turned to Quill, “I’ll leave for a while, just bring the kids watermelons and tell them a story.” “Sure.” said Quill, his hands becoming wet. Quill was good at showing kids how to climb rocks, but he was not a good storyteller.
Quill asked in a low voice, “What kind of story do you like?” A boy named Caden answered, “A ghost story!” Alice rolled her eyes and other kids also shouted, “Quill will tell a lovely story, Caden.” “A ghost story!” Caden insisted. Just then, Quill felt a pull from Emma, the quietest in the group, “I’m afraid of ghost stories.”
“What am I going to tell?” Quill thought and then said slowly, “I’m going to tell…a…a toast story.” Caden protested. “A toast story? I want a ghost story!” “You’ll see,” Quill said, “Long long ago, there was a piece of bread... named Bob.” Some kids smiled. Quill talked faster, “One day, Bob was put onto a wooden platform. Bob started crying.” “Bread can’t cry!” Caden shouted. Quill’s ears turned red.
“What happened next?” Emma asked. Quill had no idea, but he quickly looked at Caden, “Cade n is going to tell us.” Caden sat up, “Am I?” “Yes, it’s a group story.” Quill answered. Caden said in a scaring voice, “Bob was sure this was the end of his day. Then, a long, shiny thing appeared over him.”
“A knife!” Alice shouted. “Alice, it’s your turn.” Quill said. Alice added, “Then something dropped. The knife spread it all over Bob.” “Salad cream.” said Emma and pulled Quill’s T-shirt. Alice continued, “Suddenly, a giant hand lifted Bob towards a big hole. Bob screamed, ‘Help!’ ”
Caden wanted to cut in, but Alice stopped him. Quill smiled at Emma. Emma took a deep breath, and said, “Bob screamed again. The hand was surprised and dropped Bob. Bob ran away.”
“So, the bread is free.” Caden cut in.
“Not finished!” Emma shouted, “Just then, a bread truck appeared. Bob ran towards it. But something big followed him.”
“What was that?” a kid asked. Emma sat forward. Caden could feel his own breath, as if he was also there with Bob. SNAP! Emma clapped her hands. Everyone jumped up and asked, “What happened?” “A dog ate him.” Emma said, laughing.
In the rest of the night, all the kids were talking about that dog.
—Adapted from the story by Sara Matson

A.Disagreed. B.Promised. C.Regretted. D.Guessed.

A.Bob ran away quickly after he saw a dog. B.Bob first appeared on a truck in a street.
C.Bob was cut into small pieces by a knife. D.Bob dropped so he didn’t enter the hole.

A.Caden no longer loved ghost stories. B.The kids spent a winter night on a camp.
C.Quill decided to tell a new story the next day. D.The kids were quite satisfied with their story.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.D 4.D
【导语】本文讲述了Quill在Miss King离开时被要求给孩子们讲故事,尽管Quill不擅长讲故事,但他通过让孩子们一起参与,成功地讲了一个关于面包Bob的有趣故事,最终孩子们都很满意。
1.推理判断题。根据“said Quill, his hands becoming wet.”和“Quill was good at showing kids how to climb rocks, but he was not a good storyteller.”可知,Quill不是一个善于讲故事的人,可推知Quill在被要求讲故事时是感到紧张的。故选B。
2.词句猜测题。根据“Caden protested. ‘A toast story? I want a ghost story!’”可知,Caden想听鬼故事,而不是关于面包的故事,因此 划线部分“protested”表示反对,与选项A“不同意”意思相近。故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据“Alice continued, ‘Suddenly, a giant hand lifted Bob towards a big hole...”和“The hand was surprised and dropped Bob. Bob ran away.”可知,Bob在被拉向一个大洞时掉了下来,接着Bob跑开了,因此没有进入洞里。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据“Everyone jumped up and asked, ‘What happened?’ ‘A dog ate him.’ Emma said, laughing.”和“In the rest of the night, all the kids were talking about that dog.”可知,孩子们整个晚上都在谈论那只狗,可推知他们对故事很满意。故选D。
I have lived in China for six years, but still think the country is mysterious. So I made up my mind to go on a 3-month cycling journey to discover more.
My cycling journey was very safe in China because I never had a moment in which I felt I was in danger. Wherever I went, there was always phone signal, and even WeChat pay.
The beauty of nature was also fantastic. It simply took my breath away when I cycled on the way. With thick forests, blue lakes and green hills, there was so much to see.
The food was another highlight of my journey. I got to taste local food in every place I went. My favourite was the spicy food in Sichuan. No matter how much I ate, I never got sick of having different Chinese foods. There were so many different choices.
In addition, cycling in China cost less than I thought. I could even save some money during the trip to support a local charity.
The best part was about people. I met people from different ethnic minorities (少数民族) across China and I was even invited to attend a wedding by Tibetan girls. The wedding was amazing, full of dancing, laughter and fun. One time I me t a group of Chinese men who were also travelling, but by motorcycle. They invited me to stay with them in the mountains. We cooked fish that we caught from the lake together. It felt like true freedom from the busy feeling of daily life. Another example was impressive. When I met a group of cyclists in their 60s, they cycled better than me. It really encouraged me to push myself and go farther every day. Also, an experienced cyclist saved me when I got a flat tire (爆胎). He helped fix my tire.
By the end of my journey, I wanted to keep going. I felt like I could do it forever. It was truly an experience I will never forget. If anyone wants to explore in China, I would highly recommend going by bicycle.
1.What does the writer talk about in Paragraph 3?
A.Personal safety. B.Different foods. C.Natural beauty. D.Cheap cost.
2.The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 6 refers to (指代) “________”.
A.Tibetan girls inviting the writer to a wedding
B.cyclists in their 60s cycling better than the writer
C.a group of Chinese men catching fish with the writer
D.an experienced cyclist helping the writer to fix a flat tire
3.What is the best title for the passage?
A.What a Pleasant Picnic! B.What Great People!
C.What an Amazing Journey! D.What a Lucky Day!
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.C
【导语】本文讲述了作者在中国进行为期三个月的骑行之旅,体验了中国的自然美景、美食和热情好客的人们。
1.细节理解题。根据“The beauty of nature was also fantastic. It simply took my breath away when I cycled on the way. With thick forests, blue lakes and green hills, there was so much to see.”可知,第三段谈论的是自然美景。故选C。
2.词句猜测题。根据“Another example was impressive. When I met a group of cyclists in their 60s, they cycled better than me. It really encouraged me to push myself and go farther every day.”可知,当作者遇到一群60多岁的骑行者时,他们骑得比作者好。划线词“It”指的是“60多岁的骑行者骑得比作者好”这件事。故选B。
3.最佳标题题。根据全文内容可知,本文讲述了作者在中国进行为期三个月的骑行之旅,体验了中国的自然美景、美食和热情好客的人们。以选项C“多么惊人的旅程!”为标题最合适。故选C。

As the spirit spoke, they passed through the wall and stood on a country road with fields on either side. The city had disappeared. It was now day time, and there was snow on the ground.
“I know where we are!” Scrooge shouted. “I was born here and lived here as a boy.” He began to have memories of his childhood. A tear (眼泪) came into his eye.
“If you remember this place,” the spirit said, “you may now lead the way.”
They walked along the road until a little town could be seen ahead with its bridge, church, and river. Some small horses came towards them with boys upon their backs. When the boys came nearer, Scrooge recognized each of them and could call out their names. He felt so happy to see them all again. All these boys shouted to each other until the fields were full of their laughter.
“We are now at the school,” said the spirit. “Only one child is there, left alone by the others.” Hearing what he said, Scrooge burst into tears.
They walked through the school house until they came to a room that was empty except for a small boy sitting at a desk, reading. The room seemed very old and needed to be repaired. The spirit pointed to the boy. Scrooge looked at the boy, sat down and couldn’t help crying. It was Scrooge when he was young.
Suddenly, a man wearing strange clothes stood outside the window. He was leading a horse. “It’s Ali Baba!” Scrooge shouted excitedly. “It’s dear, old, honest Ali Baba! Yes, yes, I remember.”
Scrooge remembered how lonely he had been as a child. “Poor boy!” he said, and tears came into his eyes again. “I wish,” he said, putting his hands in his pocket and looking around him after drying his eyes, “but it’s too late now.”
“What do you wish?” asked the spirit.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,节选自《圣诞颂歌》。文章通过幽灵带领斯克鲁奇回到童年生活的乡村和学校,展现他孤独的童年记忆;斯克鲁奇在回忆中意识到自己过去的冷漠,流露出悔恨与温情,为后续其性格转变埋下伏笔,传达了“回忆与反思能唤醒人性温暖”的主题。
1.词义猜测题。根据第四段“When the boys came nearer, Scrooge recognized each of them and could call out their names.”可知,当那些男孩走近时,斯克鲁奇能够叫出他们的名字,也就是说他认出了每个男孩;据此可以推断,划线单词“recognized”意为 “认出;识别”,与“knew”同义。故选A。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段“A tear came into his eye.”可知,他认出了自己童年生活的地方,触景生情,这是他第一次哭;根据第五段“Hearing what he said, Scrooge burst into tears.”可知,精灵提到学校里只有一个孩子被独自留下,让他想起自己的孤独童年,这是他第二次哭;根据第六段“Scrooge looked at the boy, sat down and couldn’t help crying.”可知,他看到小时候的自己独自坐在教室里读书,感到心酸,这是他第三次哭;根据第八段“and tears came into his eyes again”可知,他回想起自己童年的孤独,并后悔昨晚没有给唱圣诞颂歌的男孩礼物,这是他第四次哭;因此,斯克鲁奇共哭了四次。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据最后一段“There was a boy singing a Christmas carol at my door last night.”可知,昨晚男孩唱圣诞颂歌,事情发生最早,④排第一;根据第一段“As the spirit spoke, they passed through the wall and stood on a country road with fields on either side.”可知,斯克鲁奇和幽灵穿过墙壁站在乡间小路上,①排第二;根据第四段“They walked along the road until a little town could be seen ahead with its bridge, church, and river.”可知,斯克鲁奇带路,看到了小镇,③排第三;根据第六段“They walked through the school house until they came to a room that was empty except for a small boy sitting at a desk, reading.”可知,他们发现一个男孩坐在课桌前看书,⑤排第四;根据第八段“putting his hands in his pocket and looking around him after drying his eyes,”可知,斯克鲁奇擦干眼泪,把手放进口袋,②排第五;因此,顺序为④①③⑤②。故选B。
4.细节理解题。根据第六段“They walked through the school house until they came to a room that was empty except for a small boy sitting at a desk, reading… Scrooge looked at the boy, sat down and couldn’t help crying. It was Scrooge when he was young.”可知,被独自留下的男孩是斯克鲁奇自己。故选D。
Grandma had a thin face and endless false Indian jewelry, which hung heavily from her slim neck. Because she lived down the hill from us, we called her Grandma-down-the-hill. This was to tell her from our mother’s mother, who we called Grandma-over-in-town because she lived fifteen miles south, in the only town of the country.
Dad and his mother got along like two cats with their tails tied together. They could talk for a week and not agree about anything, but they were connected by their love for the mountain, the place where they were born. My father’s family had been living at the base of Buck’s Peak for half a century. Grandma’s daughters had married and moved away, but my father stayed. He was building a poor yellow house, just up the hill from his mother’s, and a junkyard (废品堆积场)—next to her beautiful garden.
They argued daily, about the mess from the junkyard but more often about us kids. Grandma thought we should be in school but not running across the mountain like animals. Dad said public school was a trick played by the Government to lead children away from God. “I would rather give my kids to the devil (魔鬼) than send them to school,” he said.
Dad was crazy about God. One day, God told Dad to share his messages with the people who lived in Buck’s Peak. On Sundays, nearly everyone gathered at the hall. Dad started with his cousin Jim, the owner of the big milk farm a mile north of Buck’s Peak. When Dad waved his Bible (《圣经》) and explained the guilt of milk, Jim laughed. Then he clapped Dad on the shoulder and said God would never take a healthy milk and bread breakfast away from a man. As he walked past, I suddenly remembered: the biggest milk farm in town was Jim’s.

So I put on the clothes and practised walking like a girl. “What do you think, Jim?”
“Very good, Huck. Nobody will know you’re really a boy! Ha ha ha!”
I took the canoe (独木舟) and paddled across the river to the town. Very soon I met a woman and we started talking. This wasn’t good news for Jim. She told me that her husband and another man were looking for a runaway slave (奴隶).
“They’re going to Jackson’s Island tonight to catch him,” she said.
I hurried back to the cave to tell him.
“Jim! They know you’re here. They’re coming to get you tonight. We must leave now!”
We put all our things, including the canoe, on the big raft (木筏) and set off down the river for the town of Cairo, where the Mississippi and the Ohio rivers meet.
We didn’t get to Cairo. We ran into a thick fog on the river one night and we couldn’t see a yard in front of us. The next day it cleared but there was no sight of a town that looked like Cairo.
“Maybe we missed it in the fog,” Jim said.
So we continued drifting down the river because the raft couldn’t sail back up the river against the current.
We had a few adventures on the way but nobody caught us. Our life on the raft was very pleasant and I was enjoying myself. During the day we made a camp under the trees and slept. As soon as it got dark we set off again. Jim made a special platform on the raft where we could make a small fire to cook fish. After dinner we swam in the moonlight or lay on our backs looking at the stars. Then one morning something happened and our lives changed.
I was paddling up a side river to look for berries for breakfast when two men suddenly ra n out of the woods.
“Help! Please help us!” they shouted, “Some men with dogs are chasing us! They want to kill us!?” One of the men was about seventy years old, the other was about thirty, and they both had very old, dirty clothes.
I felt sorry for them. I told them to get onto the raft and we paddled back to the camp.

1.词义猜测题。根据上文“we couldn’t see a yard in front of us. The next day it cleared but there was no sight of a town that looked like Cairo.”可知,雾散后他们找不到类似开罗的城镇,因此“it”指代前文的“town”。故选D。

They’re coming to get you tonight”可知,哈克得知有人追捕吉姆并告知他(a);根据“Our life on the raft was very pleasant”可知,两人在木筏上享受漂流生活(c);根据“I told them to get onto the raft and we paddled back to the camp”可知,哈克救起两名逃亡男子并带回营地(b)。正确顺序为d-a-c-b。故选B。

It was winter. Snow and ice covered the land. The land was silent and empty. It was the wild. But in these dark, cold winter forests in Northland, there was life.
The she-wolf was at the front of the pack (狼群). She was large and her colour was reddish. Next to her were two males. One was a large gray wolf. On her right side was another older wolf, called One Eye. His left eye was blind. They both wanted her as a mate (配偶).
They ran all that day and night, and the next day. The world was frozen and dead. Only the wolves were alive and they were looking for other living things to eat and continue to live.
Finally, they found a big moose. They were so hungry that the whole pack attacked him. He fought hard, kicking and hitting the wolves. But there were too many wolves and they killed him and ate him quickly. There was meat for each wolf. Soon the pack started to run in all directions. One Eye and the she-wolf became friendly and they ran side by side, hunting and eating together.
Soon the she-wolf felt she needed to find a small cave. She found a dry and warm one near a stream. She looked around carefully, and decided that this was the right place. She lay down. One Eye lay down outside the cave. It was April. Spring was coming. Water was starting to run in the stream, birds were singing and One Eye left the cave to explore.
Later inside the cave he heard small noises and saw five wolf cubs (幼兽) lying beside the she-wolf. She snarled (怒吼) at him, and he moved back. He knew now he must hunt for food. When he came back, he gave some meat to his mate. Then the she-wolf turned and licked (舔) his neck. This time, she did not snarl or show her teeth. She understood he was being a good wolf-father and that he didn’t want to eat her five cubs.

【答案】1.B 2.D 3.D
【导语】本文主要讲述了在北方寒冷的冬天,一群狼在雪地里寻找食物的过程。
1.主旨大意题。根据“The she-wolf was at the front of the pack (狼群). She was large and her colour was reddish. Next to her were two males. One was a large gray wolf. On her right side was another older wolf, called One Eye. His left eye was blind. They both wanted her as a mate (配偶)”可知,第二段主要介绍了母狼、一只大公狼以及独眼狼等角色。所以第二段的目的是介绍角色,故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据文章内容,首先是“The she-wolf was at the front of the pack (狼群)”,母狼在狼群的前面;接着“Finally, they found a big moose. They were so hungry that the whole pack attacked him”,狼群攻击了一只大驼鹿;然后“She found a dry and warm one near a stream”,母狼在小溪附近找到了一个完美的洞穴;最后“Later inside the cave he heard small noises and saw five wolf cubs (幼兽) lying beside the she-wolf”,母狼生下了五只幼崽。所以事件的正确顺序是②④①③,故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据文章“She snarled (怒吼) at him, and he moved back. He knew now he must hunt for food. When he came back, he gave some meat to his mate. Then the she-wolf turned and licked (舔) his neck. This time, she did not snarl or show her teeth. She understood he was being a good wolf-father and that he didn’t want to eat her five cubs”可知,母狼一开始对独眼狼怒吼是因为她担心幼崽的安全,她以为独眼狼会伤害幼崽,想把独眼狼赶走。故选D。
The phrase “entertaining angels unaware” puzzled me for years. How could someone host a heavenly being without realizing it? The answer arrived in the form of Miss McKenzie, my strict yet unexpectedly kind schoolteacher. With her gray hair pinned in a neat bun and round cheeks flushed like roses, she seemed ordinary. Yet, she held the key to a future I never dared to imagine.
Growing up in a working-class family, college felt like a distant dream. My father had passed away, and money was scarce. My plan was simple: graduate, find a job, and help support my family. But Miss McKenzie saw something more. Unknown to us, she forced the headmaster to put my name forward for a special scholarship open to children who showed some promise, and who would receive further education. He agreed, although he was a bit worried about the cost of keeping me at college for a whole year. “What if she fails? ” the headmaster worried. Miss McKenzie slammed her hand on his desk and declared, “I'd bet my bottom dollar on this girl! ”
I shook at the passion (激情) in her voice, and at her trust in me “What if I fail her?” I thought to myself. “What if she has to pay all the money back if I let her down?” I knew we hadn’t a spare dollar to repay anybody, and I was sick with a sense of responsibility in case I messed up.
The time at college went by quickly. At the end of my year at college, I was able to lay before her the college gold medal as the year's top student and a whole pile of awards.
And suddenly as I looked at her, and saw her eyes shining with pride behind the gold-rimmed (金边的) glasses, I realized how widely she had thrown open the door of chance for me. And I knew for the first time what the phrase “entertaining angels unaware” meant. For there, standing before me in class, was my very own angel, Miss McKenzie.
1.In Paragraph 3, the writer felt ________ when she heard Miss McKenzie's passionate voice.
A.surprised and encouraged B.excited and pleased
C.nervous and curious D.worried and hopeful
2.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.she finally found that her angel was Miss McKenzie
B.everyone could get a scholarship if the headmaster agreed to
C.the writer had the idea of going to work after she left school
D.it is unlikely for children from an ordinary family to further their study in college
3.Which is the best title for this story?
A.A Successful Girl B.Love from Teacher
C.An Important Chance D.Gift from Scholarship

After escaping Long John Silver, I felt a mix of relief and fear. Though I had gotten away, I knew he was still hiding somewhere on the island. While searching for a safer spot, I heard voices nearby—Silver and a sailor named Tom.
“I want you with me! ” Silver shouted. “When we have the treasure, there’s gold for you too!” “Never!” cried Tom. “I’m not a murderer. You’re guilty, all of you! ” Sadly, these were the last words of Tom. It was a gunshot, Silver’s gun.
My heart raced as I ran deeper into the forest, not caring which direction I took. Suddenly, a figure moved between the trees. Was it a wild animal? A pirate? Even Silver himself appeared less terrible to me now.
The shadow crept closer. “Who are you?” I whispered, stepping back. “Ben Gunn,” the man replied softly. His clothes were tom, and his eyes looked haunted. “I’ve been alone here for three years. Who are you? “Jim Hawkins,” I answered.
Ben pointed shakily toward the distant ship offshore. “Is that Captain Flint’s ship?” he asked, his voice trembling.
“No. Flint is dead,” I explained. “But there are some of his old hands abroad.” like Silver.”
“Not a man. . . with one. . . leg?” Ben asked in a tremulous voice, with his pale face and scared eyes.
“You mean Silver? He once worked as a cook on the ship.” I added. “Now, he is also on the island to find Flint’s treasure. He wants to kill anyone in their way and take over the ship!”
Ben nodded slowly. “I was on Flint’s ship when he buried the treasure. Six sailors helped him dig, but only Flint returned alive. No one knows how he made it, not a man except him could make out. It was a battle, a murder and a sudden death—him against six.” His words sent a chill down my spine.
Before I could ask more, loud explosions shook the island. Smoke rose near the shore—the pirates were fighting! Ben grabbed my arm. “We must hide! Silver won’t stop until he gets what he wants.”
Together, we hurried into the forest, unsure if we’d ever escape the island—or Silver’s greed.

Her father worked for the government there. He was always busy and ill himself and her mother was a great beauty who cared only to go to parties. So Mary spent all her time with the Indian servants. She had an Ayah, a nurse, who looked after her. The Ayah’s job was to keep the little girl away from her parents as much as possible. The Ayah gave Mary whatever she wanted and the little girl became very selfish. She loved no one, and not anyone cared for her at all. Mary wasn’t pretty like her mother; she was often ill. She never smiled and she was always cross with the servants (仆人). One day, one of the servants died of cholera (霍乱), a terrible disease. The next day, three more servants died. After that, the others ran away. Mary went to bed and slept for a long, long time. When she woke up, the house was quiet. She called her Ayah, but no one came. She got up and looked around.

Then Mary heard footsteps. She was in her room when a soldier in uniform opened the door. The man was surprised to see a little girl there. He called to another soldier outside. “Poor little girl!” said the officer. “There is no one in the house. Everyone else, including your parents, had died or fled.” It was true that there was no one in the house but herself and the little rustling snake.

On a hot afternoon after a thunder storm, in Maycomb, other kids were having fun swimming in the river. But Scout and her brother Jem sat on their porch, watching Atticus Finch, their father, return home from work. Atticus was a quiet lawyer with gentle eyes, and he always answered his children’s questions patiently, no matter how silly they seemed.
That day, Scout asked, “Atticus, why do people in town talk about you defending (辩护) Tom Robinson? They say it’s a bad thing.” Atticus put down his newspaper and looked at her seriously. “Scout, courage isn’t a man with a gun in his hand. Courage is that knowing you will surely lose before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what happens,” he said. “Tom Robinson is a man who needs someone to stand up for him. He’s black, but it doesn’t mean he is guilty. We can’t judge (判断) a person by the colour of their skin, but by the quality of their character.”
Jem nodded, though he didn’t fully understand. Atticus continued, “Most people are good when you finally see them. But sometimes, they’re blinded by ignorance (无知). It’s our job to be kind, even when others aren’t.” That evening, Atticus spent hours reading books to them as usual. He didn’t shout or require respect. He won it through his words and actions.
Weeks later, when Atticus defended Tom Robinson, Scout and Jem watched quietly. They saw their father speak calmly and honestly, presenting evidence. Though the jury (陪审团) found Tom guilty in the end, Scout realized something important: Atticus defended Tom Robinson, not because it was easy, but because it showed justice (正义). She thought back to Atticus’s words about courage and knew her father was the bravest man she’d ever met.

2.词句猜测题。根据文章第2段阿蒂克斯所说“Courage is that knowing you will surely lose before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what happens,”结合上下文,此处“see it through”与“begin anyway”(无论如何都开始)并列,且后面有“no matter what happens”(无论发生什么),由此可推断该短语意为“坚持到底,直到完成”。故选A。
3.细节理解题。梳理故事发展顺序:首先,第1段提到“But Scout and her brother Jem sat on their porch, watching Atticus Finch their father return home from work.”(对应②);接着,第2段提到“Scout, courage isn’t a man with a gun in his hand. Courage is that knowing you will surely lose before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what happens,”(对应④);然后,第4段提到“Weeks later, when Atticus defended Tom Robinson, Scout and Jem watched quietly.”(对应③);最后,同段提到“Though the jury found Tom guilty in the end”(对应①)。因此正确顺序为②④③①。故选D。
4.细节理解题。根据文章第4段“Scout realized something important: Atticus defended Tom Robinson, not because it was easy, but because it showed justice… She thought back to Atticus’s words about courage and knew her father was the bravest man she’d ever met.”可知,斯库特最终理解了阿蒂克斯为汤姆辩护的真正原因——不是为了容易,而是为了正义,这也让她明白了父亲所说的勇气。故选B。
In 1972, Richard Sears, a young American began learning Chinese because of his interest in traditional Chinese culture. Drawn to the ancient language, he went to China to study Chinese in the 1990s.
In 1994, Richard Sears decided to put the ancient Chinese characters online. Then, in 2002, he did it. That is the beginning of the Chinese Etymology (汉字字源) website. “My website did not get much attention for the next few years. Until one day in 2011, it suddenly got a lot of attention. I got a few thousand emails, and a few million visitors and people started calling me ‘Uncle Hanzi’,” Sears said with a smile. Hanzi means Chinese characters. He has put more than 96,000 ancient Chinese characters onto the website. “When I study each character, I wonder what the ancient Chinese thought,” said Sears.
After visiting many Chinese cities, Sears learned more about China and ancient Chinese culture. He said when he came to China in the last century, few Chinese could speak good English. “However, you can hear English in many places in China now. Chinese language and culture were mysterious and not known by people in most countries then, but now, more and more people in the world are learning Chinese, even Chinese history, traditional Chinese medicine and so on,” Sears added.
At present, the 70-year-old American has made his home in China. “When I die, I hope my website will live on; and I’m planning to write a book about my research. This will be my gift to China,” he said.

2.What did Sears put on the Chinese Etymology website?

After Mary’s parents’ death, she went to her uncle’s house by train. Mary looked out of the window. Everything outside was grey. It was raining. She looked at the rain for a long time and soon she was asleep.
The next two days it rained, so Mary couldn’t go outside. Then, on the third morning, when she opened her eyes and looked out of the window, she had a big surprise. She called to Martha, “Martha! Come and look at the moor!”
There was no wind or rain and the sky was deep blue. “Yes,” said Martha with a smile. “The spring’s coming.” After breakfast, Martha went to visit her mother for the day. Mary felt lonely in the house without her. So she went outside into the bright sunshine. Ben was in the vegetable garden. He didn’t look angry that day so she went to speak to him.
“The spring’s coming,” he said to her.
The robin (知更鸟) appeared and sat on the ground near them.
“Is spring coming in the secret garden, too?” Mary asked Ben, “Or are all the flowers dead?”
“No one can go in. Ask the robin,” said Ben, “He’s the only one who knows.” And he went back to work.
The robin was jumping around on the ground. Mary was watching it when she saw something on the earth. It was an old key. “The key to the secret garden!” She shouted excitedly.
The next morning, Mary walked around the big garden.
Then she saw the robin sitting on a long branch (树枝) of the wall. He chirped. Mary went up to him.
“You showed me the key yesterday,” she said. “Can you show me the door today?”

“Well, as I told you, Mr. Sherlock Holmes,” said Wilson, “I have a small shop at Saxe-Coburg Square. It’s not very large and in recent years it is not very successful. In the past I had two assistants (助手). Now I have one, and I can only pay him because he would like to work for half wages (工资) in order to learn the business. ① .”
“What’s the name of the young man?” asked Sherlock Holmes.
“His name is Vincent Spaulding, and he’s not so young, either. It’s hard to tell his age. I could not have a smarter assistant, Mr. Holmes. I know very well that he could get a better job and make twice what I give him. ② But, he is happy.”
“The first thing that disturbed (干扰) us was that advertisement. Spaulding came into the office eight weeks ago, with this paper in his hand, and he said he wished he was a red-headed man, because there was another vacancy at the League of Red-Headed Men. He could get much money if he could get it.”
“Have you never heard of the League of Red-Headed Men?” asked Sherlock Holmes. “You are suitable for one of the vacancies.”
“Tell me all about it,” said Mr. Wilson.
“Oh, each vacancy pays two hundred pounds a year. ③ ” said Sherlock Holmes. “From the advertisement, you can see for yourself that the League has a vacancy. An American millionaire named Ezekiah Hopkins set up the League. Ezekiah Hopkins was very strange in his ways. He was red-headed and he liked all red-headed men. So when he died, he wanted to give all his money to men with red hair. It’s good pay and there is very little to do.”
“But there are millions of red-headed men,” said Mr. Wilson.
“ ④ You see it is only for Londoners and grown men. This American came from London, and he wanted to do something good for the old town. Your hair is perfect,” Sherlock Holmes said.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了威尔逊先生向福尔摩斯描述他遇到的怪事:他的助手斯鲍丁给他看了一份“红发会”的招聘广告,广告声称红发人可以获得一份高薪清闲的工作,从而引出了“红发会”及其创立者埃泽基亚·霍普金斯的故事。
1.词句猜测题。根据“Spaulding...he wished he was a red-headed man, because there was another vacancy at the League of Red-Headed Men. He could get much money if he could get it.”可知,斯鲍丁希望自己是个红发人,因为红发会里又有了一个“vacancy”,如果他得到这个“vacancy”就能获得很多钱。结合语境和选项,这里“vacancy”最合理的解释是“职位空缺”,即工作机会。 故选A。
2.篇章结构题。根据福尔摩斯在介绍这个职位时说“Oh, each vacancy pays two hundred pounds a year...It’s good pay and there is very little to do.”。句子“But there is little work to do.”与福尔摩斯所说的“there is very little to do”意思完全一致,对这份工作进行补充说明,即位置③。 故选C。
3.细节理解题。根据“An American millionaire named Ezekiah Hopkins set up the League.”可知,埃泽基亚·霍普金斯是一位美国百万富翁,这说明他在去世前拥有很多钱。故选A。
4.推理判断题。根据“Ezekiah Hopkins was very strange in his ways. He was red-headed and he liked all red-headed men. So when he died, he wanted to give all his money to men with red hair.”可知,他的行为方式很奇怪,但他想把遗产留给红发人,这是一种善举。 故选C。
