The second room had a bed, table, and chairs. He had never had a room of his own before. I visited him every day, and talked to him. He loved reading, and talking about books. He was very happy. But sometimes it was difficult for him. One day a new nurse came to the hospital. She took his food to his room, and opened the door. Then she screamed, and ran out of the room. I was very angry with the nurse, and went to see Merrick. To my surprise, he didn’t move and just watched her as she cried. “People don’t like looking at me. I know that,” he said. “They usually laugh or scream.” “Well, I don’t want nurses to laugh at you, Joseph,” I said angrily. “I want them to help you. This is your home now.” “Thank you, doctor,” he said, in his strange slow voice. “But it’s not important. I understand that.” In his one good hand, he had the little picture of his mother. He looked at the picture for a minute. A tear ran out of his eye and down the skin of his ugly face. “Dr Treves,” he said, slowly. “You and the nurses are very kind. Thank you very much. But I know I can’t stay here long, and…I would like to live in a lighthouse, or a home for blind people. I think those are the best places for me.” “What do you mean?” I asked. He did not look at me. He put the flower on the picture and looked at it carefully. “Nobody could look at me in a lighthouse, so I would be happy there. And blind people can see nothing, so they couldn’t see me, could they?” “But Joseph,” I said. “This is your home. You aren’t going to leave the hospital.” “You are a kind man, Dr. Treves. But I can’t stay here very long. I have no money.” I smiled. “Joseph,” I said. “You can stay here all your life. This will always be your home.” He was very quiet for a minute. Then he stood up, and walked up and down the room very quickly. A strange sound came from him, like laughing. —adapted from Elephant Man 1．When Merrick watched the nurse crying, he probably felt a sense of ______.

We sat at a table in the middle of the room and ate a delicious lunch. He told me that all the food came from the sea. “I love the sea,” he said. “It gives me everything that I need. Even my clothes come from the sea. It is a place of perfect peace. There are no governments, no taxes, and no wars. Here, I am truly free! I will never return to the land.” He took me to see the library which had thousands of books in many languages. Then he showed me the art gallery. It had many paintings by famous artists. The next room was a museum with all kinds of treasures from the sea. I had never seen such a good museum. Captain Nemo was very proud of his collection and very proud of the Nautilus. He told me that he had discovered a way to make electricity using salt and mercury. This electricity gave the Nautilus all the power it needed to move through the water. Huge pumps filled and emptied tanks of air and water to make the Nautilus sink or rise. After we got to the engine room, Captain Nemo showed me the engine and explained how it worked. The Nautilus was seventy meters long and eight meters wide. It had a cylindrical shape with points on each end and weighed 1,500 tons. “It’s a wonderful ship!” I exclaimed. “I love it as if it were my child,” he replied. “How did you build it in secret?” I asked. “All the parts were made in different countries. I used different names each time I placed an order. I took all the parts to a desert island, and my workmen put them together.

But today, I put a chair outside and let my daughter Sally sit on it. She was sitting high with her eyes closed, skin still wet from the shower, and her messy hair behind her back. I realized she was taking in every touch from my hands. It was the last time for a week that our bodies would connect. Today, I would send Sally away for a week of summer camp. She didn’t ask to go. This was all my idea. She’s nearly 12, and I notice that I’m with my child nearly 24 hours a day. Living on a farm without any neighbors, I’ve chosen a life that is quieter than a usual family’s. But instead of requiring space away from me, Sally has increasingly depended on me. What worries me most is that she has become a “mini-me”. She follows my hobbies, my dreams, and my opinions. And that was why I pulled her to the summer camp, a nearby wilderness (荒野) camp called Hawk Circle. After we ate, I drove Sally to Hawk Circle. Once there, we got a tour of the grounds and were introduced to other campers. Sally stood by the group of children, holding my hand, horror in her eyes, trying to work up the courage to join a game of soccer. “I need you for a few more minutes,” she told me, holding my hand tightly (紧紧地). I pulled away and walked up to one of the camp’s workers. “Excuse me,” I said loudly, “I’d like to introduce you to my daughter. Maybe you could help her meet a few of these kids. ” He came over to talk to Sally, and I kissed her and then I disappeared before she realized I was gone. On my way home, I felt a piece of my soul had been taken from my body. I began to shake. The tears (泪水) came down my face. It took every bit of my strength to keep driving forward. When I arrived home, I calmed down and reminded myself why I chose this path. I thought to myself, “I want Sally to have a chance to find herself, out of my shadow. I don’t want to see only myself in my child. I want to learn who she is. If I don’t set her free, I fear I’ll never really meet her real personality. ” After 12 years of being together, I want to finally meet my daughter for the first time. 1．Sally would be away from her mother for ________.

When I come out to check on Daniel, his face is pressed on the fence (篱笆). The woman says, “You wait right here. I’ll be right back.” She returns with a saw (锯子). There’s a whirring. A circle in the wooden fence drops out of sight. “Dad! Sandy just drilled out a hole in the fence so Sandy and I can talk!” Daniel spins around. I hadn’t known her name was Sandy. We’ve lived here a month before Daniel was born. Daniel’s and Sandy’s murmuring voices continue. Whenever Daniel is outside, he circles near the fence that isn’t a fence any more. Some days my son just goes to stand at the hole, yelling, “Sandy! Saaaaandyyyyy!” Sometimes I hear bits of their talk. “We painted a ghost at school.” Or: ‘‘Wheeler and Jackson were playing football, and they told me I couldn’t play.” “That wasn’t very nice,” says Sandy. “Did that hurt your feelings? Did you let them know that?” I can’t hear how he replies. A moment of envy runs through me. He never talks about his school things with me. Daniel and Sandy not only keep chatting through the hole, they also exchange gifts. A coloring book, then a Hot Wheels car. It’s unclear what Daniel gives Sandy in return. One afternoon, I hear Sandy’s voice floating over the top of the fence with the hole. “I thought maybe Daniel could come for a play date.” We ring the bell on Sandy’s porch. She’s a middle-aged woman with smiling eyes. Sandy’s yard is sweet with the smell of flowers. We have a pleasant afternoon with Sandy, my son’s adult friend, the first friend Daniel has made on his own. We’ve passed through the hole in the fence.

Though I had gotten away, I knew he was still hiding somewhere on the island. While searching for a safer place, 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(海盗)? Even Silver himself appeared less terrible to me now. The shadow walked closer. “Who are you?” I whispered, stepping back. “Ben Gunn,” the man replied softly. His clothes were dirty and old, and his eyes looked frightened. “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 aboard, 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 fight, a murder and a sudden death—him against six.” His words surprised me. Before I could ask more, loud explosions shook the island. Smoke rose near the shore—the pirates were fighting! Ben caught 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. 1．According to the dialogue between Silver and Tom, we can infer Silver was ________.

Oliver is a young orphan (孤儿) who is in danger, as Sikes plans to harm him.) Scene One Nancy had known Sikes for a long time. She had learned to read his moods by the sound of his footsteps and the look in his eyes.      That night, the dark room smelled of smoke and damp (潮湿的) walls.

At last, she stood up, pulled her coat closely around her, and went out into the dark streets, where street lights shone on the wet stone road. Scene Three Nancy met Rose Maylie and Mr. Brownlow in secret. Fog was around their feet. Nancy spoke quickly and every time she heard voices far away, she looked back. “I am the cause of all this…I am not worth your notice or your kindness. I don’t ask you to pity me,” she said. “—only to protect the boy.” They listened in silence. When she finished, Rose reached for her hand, but Nancy drew it back (抽回). “It’s enough that you know,” Nancy said. “I must go.” Scene Four Nancy returned to Sikes. The room still smelled of smoke. A cold wind came through the small window, making the curtains move a little. She knew what her choice might cost her, but she did not regret it.

Its valuable cargo(货物) lay at the bottom of the sea, and Antonio had lost his money. His friends hoped that there would be no more bad news for him. Shylock was still angry about his daughter, Jessica, and the news for him was not good, either. He paid people to look for her, but they could not find her. They came back with news about his money she had spent and his jewels (珠宝) she had sold. All this made Shylock angrier and angrier.

He even laughs at me when I don’t lose money. He lends money to people for no interest and so he takes away my friends and my business. Why does he do this? It is only because I am a Jew. But a Jew is just another person. Don’t I have eyes and hands like he does? Don’t I have feelings and passions (激情) like he does? Don’t I eat the same food? Don’t the same weapon (武器) hurt me as hurt him? Don’t I get sick with the same illnesses as he does? Am I not cured (治愈) in the same way? Don’t I get hot in summer and cold in winter as he does?

To his surprise, he found that it should have been but two dollars. ＂I’ve made her pay six and a quarter cents more,＂ said young Abe, upset. It was an unimportant thing, and many salespersons would forget it, but Abe was too careful for that. The money must be paid back, he decided. At night, he closed the store and walked to the home of his customer. He explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied. Here is another story of young Lincoln’s strict honesty. A woman entered the store and asked for half a pound of tea. The young man weighed it out. This was the last sale of the day. The next morning, when beginning his duties, Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales(磅砰). It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale last night, and so, of course, given his customer short weight. Many people would not have been much worried by this discovery. But Abe weighed out four ounces of the tea, shut up the store, and carried it to the customer. I think that the name, so often given in late times to President Lincoln, of ＂Honest Old Abe＂, was well deserved(应得的). 1．What did Abraham Lincoln use to be when he was young according to the passage? A．A teacher. B．A farmer. C．A storekeeper. D．A president. 2．When young Abe found he made a wrong calculation, he ________. A．tried to forget it B．paid over the money C．felt it was unimportant D．gave hack the short weight 3．When did he find his mistake in the second story? A．At the end of that day. B．In the middle of that day. C．At the end of the next day. D．At the beginning of the next day. 4．What can we know from the second story? A．Abe wasn’t worried by this discovery. B．Abe didn’t notice he put a four-ounce weight on the scales. C．Abe gave the customer enough weight at last.

He has performed for many people worldwide. But how did his musical journey begin? Bocelli was born in 1958 with an eye disease. But he became interested in musical instruments at an early age. When he was six years old, he began learning to play the piano. However, he became completely blind at age 12 after an accident. Blindness didn’t stop his love for music. He began to teach himself to read music in Braille (盲文) and learned to play the flute, saxophone, trumpet and more! He also began developing his singing. At age 14, he won a small singing competition near his hometown. Later, he studied law at university and sang in piano bars at night to pay for his studies. After graduating, he was a lawyer for just one year until he decided to follow his dream of music. Bocelli got his big break in 1992 when he recorded a song for the famous singer, Luciano Pavarotti.

Passage 2 （2026·江苏南京·一模） Laurie had just come home from school when she heard a light hammering (敲击) sound coming from Grandpa’s study. Curious, she tapped on the door. “Grandpa? Can I come in?” “Just a second!” Grandpa answered. Laurie heard lots of shuffling (拖着脚走). “Enter!” Grandpa was sitting empty-handed at his desk, but there were wood shavings (刨花) everywhere. “Aren’t you supposed to be at school?” he asked. “It’s over at three. What were you doing here?” Laurie said curiously. She saw something wooden underneath a book. “Aha!” she cried, pulling the object out. “What’s this?” “Well, that’s your birthday gift. But now it won’t be a surprise,” Grandpa said. It was a wooden crocodile (鳄鱼) with a string (线) on the top of its head so the mouth could be opened and shut. “It’s an ancient Egyptian (埃及的) toy,” Grandpa said. “I made this, but if you were a child in ancient Egypt, you might have something similar. Crocodiles were an important part of Egyptian life, and many crocodiles lived in the Nile River.” “The Egyptians depended on the Nile River for many things. It flooded every year, giving much-needed water and nutrients (营养物) to the land. This made farming easy for the Egyptians. The soft, wet land also made good mud (土) for building mud-brick houses.” “And the river provided the people of the area with a convenient highway for transportation and communication.” “Ancient Egypt was an agricultural society. If you were a little Egyptian girl living about four thousand years ago, your father would probably be a grain farmer. Grains were the most common crop, especially wheat and barley, which were used to make bread and beer—the most typical food and drink.” “Unluckily, children didn’t go to school like you do now. You’d probably spend most days helping your parents. During the harvest season maybe you would bundle (捆扎) wheat up on the farm. Or perhaps you’d be at home, helping to cook or take care of the vegetable garden near your house.” Just then, Mom called from downstairs, “Laurie! I’m home!” “Hi, Mom! I’ll be right down!” Laurie said. “Thanks, Grandpa. I’ll pretend (假装) I never saw this,” she said, putting the crocodile back on the desk. “Until next time!” “Until next time! Bye, Laurie!” ——Adapted from Grandpa’s World History 1．Grandpa answered “Just a second!” because he wanted to ______.

Soon his skin was much better. The second room had a bed, table, and chairs. He had never had a room of his own before. I visited him every day, and talked to him. He loved reading, and talking about books. He was very happy. But sometimes it was difficult for him. One day a new nurse came to the hospital. She took his food to his room, and opened the door. Then she screamed, and ran out of the room. I was very angry with the nurse, and went to see Merrick. To my surprise, he didn’t move and just watched her as she cried. “People don’t like looking at me. I know that,” he said. “They usually laugh or scream.” “Well, I don’t want nurses to laugh at you, Joseph,” I said angrily. “I want them to help you. This is your home now.” “Thank you, doctor,” he said, in his strange slow voice. “But it’s not important. I understand that.” In his one good hand, he had the little picture of his mother. He looked at the picture for a minute. A tear ran out of his eye and down the skin of his ugly face. “Dr Treves,” he said, slowly. “You and the nurses are very kind. Thank you very much. But I know I can’t stay here long, and…I would like to live in a lighthouse, or a home for blind people. I think those are the best places for me.” “What do you mean?” I asked. He did not look at me. He put the flower on the picture and looked at it carefully. “Nobody could look at me in a lighthouse, so I would be happy there. And blind people can see nothing, so they couldn’t see me, could they?” “But Joseph,” I said. “This is your home. You aren’t going to leave the hospital.” “You are a kind man, Dr. Treves. But I can’t stay here very long. I have no money.” I smiled. “Joseph,” I said. “You can stay here all your life. This will always be your home.” He was very quiet for a minute. Then he stood up, and walked up and down the room very quickly. A strange sound came from him, like laughing. —adapted from Elephant Man 1．When Merrick watched the nurse crying, he probably felt a sense of ______.

And blind people can see nothing, so they couldn’t see me, could they?’”梅里克明确提出想住灯塔或盲人院，核心原因是这些地方没人能看到他的畸形外貌，他认为不被看见就能避免他人的恐惧与排斥，从而获得被接纳的可能。 3．文章前半部分铺垫梅里克的自卑与无奈，后半部分以医生的“You can stay here all your life. This will always be your home.(你可以在此度过一生，这里永远是你的家)”为核心情节，这一承诺对常年被排斥、无家可归的梅里克而言，是特殊且珍贵的，既呼应了前文他“渴望被接纳、有一个家”的心愿，也凸显了文章的温暖内核，是全文的情感与情节转折点. Passage 2 （2026·江苏扬州·一模）Captain Nemo took me to the dining room. We sat at a table in the middle of the room and ate a delicious lunch. He told me that all the food came from the sea. “I love the sea,” he said. “It gives me everything that I need. Even my clothes come from the sea. It is a place of perfect peace. There are no governments, no taxes, and no wars. Here, I am truly free! I will never return to the land.” He took me to see the library which had thousands of books in many languages. Then he showed me the art gallery. It had many paintings by famous artists. The next room was a museum with all kinds of treasures from the sea. I had never seen such a good museum. Captain Nemo was very proud of his collection and very proud of the Nautilus. He told me that he had discovered a way to make electricity using salt and mercury. This electricity gave the Nautilus all the power it needed to move through the water. Huge pumps filled and emptied tanks of air and water to make the Nautilus sink or rise. After we got to the engine room, Captain Nemo showed me the engine and explained how it worked. The Nautilus was seventy meters long and eight meters wide. It had a cylindrical shape with points on each end and weighed 1,500 tons. “It’s a wonderful ship!” I exclaimed. “I love it as if it were my child,” he replied. “How did you build it in secret?” I asked. “All the parts were made in different countries. I used different names each time I placed an order. I took all the parts to a desert island, and my workmen put them together. Then, we burned our workshops.” “It must have cost a fortune!” I exclaimed. “Millions of dollars,” he replied. “However, I have billions!” —Taken from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea 1．The underlined word “cylindrical” in Paragraph 4 probably means________.

But today, I put a chair outside and let my daughter Sally sit on it. She was sitting high with her eyes closed, skin still wet from the shower, and her messy hair behind her back. I realized she was taking in every touch from my hands. It was the last time for a week that our bodies would connect. Today, I would send Sally away for a week of summer camp. She didn’t ask to go. This was all my idea. She’s nearly 12, and I notice that I’m with my child nearly 24 hours a day. Living on a farm without any neighbors, I’ve chosen a life that is quieter than a usual family’s. But instead of requiring space away from me, Sally has increasingly depended on me. What worries me most is that she has become a “mini-me”. She follows my hobbies, my dreams, and my opinions. And that was why I pulled her to the summer camp, a nearby wilderness (荒野) camp called Hawk Circle. After we ate, I drove Sally to Hawk Circle. Once there, we got a tour of the grounds and were introduced to other campers. Sally stood by the group of children, holding my hand, horror in her eyes, trying to work up the courage to join a game of soccer. “I need you for a few more minutes,” she told me, holding my hand tightly (紧紧地). I pulled away and walked up to one of the camp’s workers. “Excuse me,” I said loudly, “I’d like to introduce you to my daughter. Maybe you could help her meet a few of these kids. ” He came over to talk to Sally, and I kissed her and then I disappeared before she realized I was gone. On my way home, I felt a piece of my soul had been taken from my body. I began to shake. The tears (泪水) came down my face. It took every bit of my strength to keep driving forward. When I arrived home, I calmed down and reminded myself why I chose this path. I thought to myself, “I want Sally to have a chance to find herself, out of my shadow. I don’t want to see only myself in my child. I want to learn who she is. If I don’t set her free, I fear I’ll never really meet her real personality. ” After 12 years of being together, I want to finally meet my daughter for the first time. 1．Sally would be away from her mother for ________. A．a day B．a week C．a month D．a year 2．From Paragraph 6, we can know Sally was very ________. A．nervous B．happy C．excited D．amazed 3．What did the mother do when the daughter asked her to stay for a while? A．She left at once without saying a word. B．She agreed to stay with her. C．She brushed and styled her daughter’s hair. D．She helped her get help and then left. 4．What’s the Chinese meaning of the word “shadow” in Paragraph 9? A．影子 B．保障 C．困境 D．联系 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文讲述了一位母亲因为担心女儿过度依赖自己、成为“迷你版的自己”，而决定送女儿去参加一周的夏令营，希望女儿能走出自己的影响、找到真正的自我，表达了母亲对女儿成长的深切关怀与正确的教育理念。 1．第三段明确指出：“Today, I would send Sally away for a week of summer camp.”，这直接说明萨莉将离开妈妈一周时间。 2．第六段提到“Sally stood by the group of children, holding my hand, horror in her eyes, trying to work up the courage to join a game of soccer.”，其中“horror in her eyes”、“trying to work up the courage”，说明萨莉当时非常紧张。 3．第七段指出“I pulled away and walked up to one of the camp’s workers... He came over to talk to Sally, and I kissed her and then I disappeared before she realized I was gone.”，这说明妈妈没有留下，而是找营地工作人员帮忙，之后悄悄离开。 4．第九段提到“I want Sally to have a chance to find herself, out of my shadow. I don’t want to see only myself in my child.”，结合前文萨莉变成“mini-me”、跟随妈妈的爱好和想法，可知妈妈希望萨莉走出自己的影响，找到自我，因此“shadow”此处意为“影子”，引申为“影响”。 主题03 友谊、朋友 Passage 1 （2026·江苏无锡·一模）My five-year-old son befriends the woman.

Though I had gotten away, I knew he was still hiding somewhere on the island. While searching for a safer place, 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(海盗)? Even Silver himself appeared less terrible to me now. The shadow walked closer. “Who are you?” I whispered, stepping back. “Ben Gunn,” the man replied softly. His clothes were dirty and old, and his eyes looked frightened. “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 aboard, 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 fight, a murder and a sudden death—him against six.” His words surprised me. Before I could ask more, loud explosions shook the island. Smoke rose near the shore—the pirates were fighting! Ben caught 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. 1．According to the dialogue between Silver and Tom, we can infer Silver was ________. A．heartless B．generous C．honest D．silly 2．The underlined word “tremulous” in Paragraph 7 means ________ . A．excited B．loud C．gentle D．shaky 3．Which of the following is the correct order of the plot according to the passage? a. Ben Gunn lived on the island alone.       b. Ben Gunn mistook the ship for Flint’s. c. Ben Gunn was once on Flint’s ship.    d. Jim met Ben Gunn while running away from Silver. e. Flint killed six seamen who helped bury the treasure. A．c-e-a-b-d B．a-e-b-d-c C．a-d-c-b-e D．e-c-b-a-d 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Silver killed Tom with a gun. B．Flint was a man with one leg. C．Ben Gunn didn’t know Silver before. D．Jim was left on the island for three years. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文是讲述了Jim Hawkins逃离海盗Long John Silver后，在荒岛上遇到被遗弃的水手Ben Gunn，并了解到Silver的阴谋与海盗间冲突的冒险经历。 1．原文第二段Tom拒绝Silver的提议后，第二段最后两句提到：“Sadly,these were the last words of Tom. It was a gunshot, Silver’s gun.”，说明Silver为了夺取宝藏冷酷地杀害了Tom，体现出他冷酷无情的性格。 2．原文第七段“‘Not a man...with one...leg?’ Ben asked in a tremulous voice, with his pale face and scared eyes.”，结合后文“his pale face and scared eyes”可知，Ben此时非常害怕，说话的声音是颤抖的，因此“tremulous”意为“shaky”。 3．梳理事件发生的先后顺序：c.Ben Gunn was once on the Flint’s ship.“Ben曾在Flint的船上，最早发生”→e.Flint killed six seamen who helped bury the treasure.“Flint杀害了帮忙埋宝藏的水手”→a.Ben Gunn lived on the island alone.“Ben被遗弃，独自在岛上生活了三年”→b.Ben Gunn mistook the ship for Flint’s.“Ben看到远处的船，误以为是 Flint 的船”→d.Jim met Ben Gunn while running away from Silver.“Jim逃离Silver时遇到了Ben Gunn”，即c-e-a-b-d。 4．原文第二段Tom拒绝Silver后，第二段最后两句提到：“Sadly,these were the last words of Tom. It was a gunshot, Silver’s gun.”，直接说明Silver用枪杀害了Tom。 Passage 2 （2026·江苏南通·一模）(Nancy lives with Bill Sikes, a dangerous thief (小偷), and she is also part of the criminal world he belongs to. Oliver is a young orphan (孤儿) who is in danger, as Sikes plans to harm him.) Scene One Nancy had known Sikes for a long time. She had learned to read his moods by the sound of his footsteps and the look in his eyes.      That night, the dark room smelled of smoke and damp (潮湿的) walls. Shadows (阴影) moved on the walls, making the room feel smaller and colder. As Sikes spoke of Oliver, his voice was calm, which scared her more than his anger. “You’ll do as I say,” he told her. Nancy said nothing, but his words lay heavily on her mind. She held the table hard, trying not to shake. Scene Two Later, when Sikes had gone out, Nancy sat alone. The house was silent except for the floor making noise. She thought of Oliver—small, helpless, and surrounded by people who wanted to hurt him. “I’m no better than the rest,” she said to herself. “But he is different.” The cold wind pressed against the window, making the room feel even lonelier. At last, she stood up, pulled her coat closely around her, and went out into the dark streets, where street lights shone on the wet stone road. Scene Three Nancy met Rose Maylie and Mr. Brownlow in secret. Fog was around their feet. Nancy spoke quickly and every time she heard voices far away, she looked back. “I am the cause of all this…I am not worth your notice or your kindness. I don’t ask you to pity me,” she said. “—only to protect the boy.” They listened in silence. When she finished, Rose reached for her hand, but Nancy drew it back (抽回). “It’s enough that you know,” Nancy said. “I must go.” Scene Four Nancy returned to Sikes. The room still smelled of smoke. A cold wind came through the small window, making the curtains move a little. She knew what her choice might cost her, but she did not regret it. Sikes sat on a wooden chair, his eyes fixed on her as if trying to read her mind. “You’ve been out,” he said. Nancy stood near the door, her hands folded in front. “Yes,” Nancy answered. Nothing more was said, but the danger had already begun. —Adapted from Oliver Twist 1．What scared Nancy most according to Scene One? A．Sikes’ shouting. B．Sikes’ calm voice. C．Shadows on the wall. D．The smell of smoke. 2．What can we infer about Nancy from her words in Scene Three? A．She planned to leave London. B．She expected to punish Sikes. C．She cared more about Oliver than herself. D．She wished Rose and Brownlow to save her. 3．How did Nancy’s feelings change from Scene Two to Scene Four? A．Calm → nervous → angry B．Angry → uneasy → calm C．Uneasy → angry → calm D．Uneasy → nervous → calm 4．Each following picture matches one scene. Which scene is missing? A．Scene One. B．Scene Two. C．Scene Three. D．Scene Four. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，改编自《雾都孤儿》片段，讲述了南希和危险的小偷比尔·赛克斯住在一起，而赛克斯计划伤害一个年轻的孤儿奥利弗的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据文中“As Sikes spoke of Oliver, his voice was calm, which scared her more than his anger.”可知，南希最害怕的是赛克斯平静的声音。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文中“—only to protect the boy.”可知，南希关心奥利弗胜过关心自己。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文中“The cold wind pressed against the window, making the room feel even lonelier. At last, she stood up, pulled her coat closely around her”可知，第二幕中Nancy独自在家感到不安；根据文中“Nancy spoke quickly and every time she heard voices far away, she looked back.”可知，第三幕中Nancy会面时神情紧张；根据文中“ She knew what her choice might cost her, but she did not regret it.”及“Nancy stood near the door, her hands folded in front.”可知，第四幕中Nancy返回后则面对风险却表现出冷静。故选D。 4．细节理解题。文中第二幕讲述了收到命令后南希的不安，最后她站了起来，把大衣紧紧地裹在身上，走到黑暗的街道上，街灯照在潮湿的石板路上，与选项B相符；文中第三幕讲述了南希秘密会见了罗斯·梅丽和布朗罗先生，告诉他们保护好奥利弗，与选项C相符；文中第四幕讲述了南希回到家后与赛克斯的对话，与选项D相符。因此，没有第一幕的图片。故选A。 Passage 3 （2026·江苏徐州·一模）When Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a story about a detective named Sherlock Holmes, he didn’t know he was creating one of the most popular characters in books. Arthur Conan Doyle was born on May 22,1859, in Edinburgh, Scotland. He studied medicine and became a doctor in a small English town called Portsmouth. He started writing stories. His first published story was A Study in Scarlet in 1887. It was a detective story, and its main character was the detective Sherlock Holmes. The first Holmes stories sold quite well. Conan Doyle got hundreds of letters for Holmes because many readers thought he was a real person. Even today, fans from all over the world send letters to “221B Baker Street”—Holmes’ fictional address. Conan Doyle wanted to be known as a serious writer. He also wrote history books and plays. He felt that Holmes was taking too much of his time. So in 1893, in a story called The Final Problem, he “killed” Holmes. In the story, Holmes and his greatest enemy, Professor Moriarty, fell down into a deep river. Readers were very upset. Conan Doyle received many angry letters. Because of this, he later brought Holmes back. First, he wrote The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1901, but that story happened before Holmes’ “death”. Finally, in 1903, in The Empty House, he explained that Holmes did not really die but had been hiding from his enemies. Why is Holmes so popular? A new kind of hero: He was one of the first great detectives in fiction. Fair play: Conan Doyle believed in giving readers all the clues to solve the mystery. Science: Holmes was one of the first detectives in stories to use scientific methods like studying fingerprints. Great mind: People love how he can notice small details and find the truth. 1．Why did readers write to “221B Baker Street”? A．Many readers believed Holmes was a real person. B．Conan Doyle actually lived there. C．Holmes answered every letter he received. D．The post office made a mistake. 2．What did Conan Doyle think of different book types? A．He considered being a doctor was more important than writing. B．He believed detective stories were the most difficult to write. C．He thought history books were more “serious” than detective stories. D．He enjoyed writing plays more than reading letters from fans. 3．Why did Conan Doyle bring Sherlock Holmes back in 1903? A．He needed more money from writing. B．He found a new enemy for Holmes to fight C．He missed writing exciting detective stories. D．Readers’ angry actions made him change his mind. 4．What is the main purpose of the section “Why is Holmes so popular?” A．To encourage readers to buy more books. B．To compare Holmes with other detectives. C．To explain how Conan Doyle wrote the stories. D．To give the reasons for Holmes’ lasting success. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文介绍了柯南·道尔创作福尔摩斯这一角色的背景、福尔摩斯的受欢迎程度，以及柯南·道尔“杀死”又复活福尔摩斯的原因，并解释了福尔摩斯经久不衰的原因。 1．文章第三段明确指出：“Conan Doyle got hundreds of letters for Holmes because many readers thought he was a real person. Even today, fans from all over the world send letters to ‘221B Baker Street’—Holmes’ fictional address.”，说明读者给“贝克街221B”写信是因为很多人认为福尔摩斯是真实存在的人。 2．文章第四段提到：“Conan Doyle wanted to be known as a serious writer. He also wrote history books and plays. He felt that Holmes was taking too much of his time.”，结合语境可推断，柯南·道尔认为历史书比侦探小说更“严肃”，所以想成为严肃作家，不想被福尔摩斯这一侦探角色占据太多时间。 3．文章第五段指出：“Readers were very upset. Conan Doyle received many angry letters. Because of this, he later brought Holmes back.”，说明柯南·道尔在1903年让福尔摩斯复活，是因为读者的愤怒反应让他改变了主意。 4．文章最后一部分“Why is Holmes so popular?”下方，列出了福尔摩斯受欢迎的四个原因，由此可知，这一部分的主要目的是说明福尔摩斯经久不衰的成功原因。 Passage 4 （2026·江苏扬州·一模） The news for Antonio was not good. The ship that sank (沉没) in the sea between England and France was his. Its valuable cargo(货物) lay at the bottom of the sea, and Antonio had lost his money. His friends hoped that there would be no more bad news for him. Shylock was still angry about his daughter, Jessica, and the news for him was not good, either. He paid people to look for her, but they could not find her. They came back with news about his money she had spent and his jewels (珠宝) she had sold. All this made Shylock angrier and angrier. However, when he heard that Antonio had lost a ship and all its valuable cargo, he was pleased. He decided that if Antonio could not pay back his debt (债务) when it was due (到期), he would make him pay the penalty. He would take one pound of his flesh (肉). He would choose the heart. Then Antonio would not be able to take business away from him any longer because he would be dead. The news got worse for Antonio. He lost another ship in a storm near Tripoli. It was a very large ship and its cargo was very valuable. The ship and its cargo sat at the bottom of the sea. The news soon came to Venice, and Shylock was happier than ever. Now he would have revenge (复仇) on his old enemy. He looked forward to taking one pound of Antonio’s flesh. “You will not take a pound of his flesh, will you?” Antonio’s friends asked Shylock. “What use is that? What can you do with it?” “I can use it to go fishing,” he replied. “I can’t eat it, but it will make me feel good. He has often laughed at me when I lose money. He even laughs at me when I don’t lose money. He lends money to people for no interest and so he takes away my friends and my business. Why does he do this? It is only because I am a Jew. But a Jew is just another person. Don’t I have eyes and hands like he does? Don’t I have feelings and passions (激情) like he does? Don’t I eat the same food? Don’t the same weapon (武器) hurt me as hurt him? Don’t I get sick with the same illnesses as he does? Am I not cured (治愈) in the same way? Don’t I get hot in summer and cold in winter as he does? If you cut me, won’t I bleed (流血)? If you tickle (挠痒) me, won’t I laugh? If you poison (毒害) me, won’t I die? If you do me wrong, won’t I take revenge?” —Taken from The Merchant of Venice 1．Why does Shylock become angrier and angrier? A．Because Antonio’s ship sank in the sea. B．Because he lost lots of money and jewels. C．Because his daughter left him without telling him D．Because Antonio lent money to people for no interest. 2．What does the underlined word “penalty” probably mean in Chinese? A．账单 B．损失 C．惩罚 D．轮船 3．Which is the right order of the events? ① Antonio lost a ship in a storm near Tripoli. ② Antonio borrowed some money from Shylock. ③ Antonio’s friends asked Shylock about the flesh. ④ Shylock paid some people to look for his daughter. A．②④①③ B．④②③① C．②④③① D．④②①③ 4．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A．Antonio and His Ships B．Shylock and His Daughter C．Shylock’s Flesh D．Bad News for Antonio 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文节选自《威尼斯商人》，讲述安东尼奥的商船出事沉入到了海底，他的朋友希望他不要再有坏消息了；夏洛克的女儿私奔让他感觉很懊恼，但是听说安东尼奥出事后，他很高兴，他要安东尼奥还钱，如果不按时还钱，他就要从安东尼奥身上割下一磅肉，他说了他要割安东尼奥的肉的理由。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They came back with news about his money she had spent and his jewels (珠宝) she had sold. All this made Shylock angrier and angrier.”可知，夏洛克越来越生气的原因是因为他的女儿花了他的钱并把他的珠宝卖了。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“He decided that if Antonio could not pay back his debt (债务) when it was due (到期), he would make him pay the penalty. He would take one pound of his flesh (肉).”可知，如果安东尼奥不能在到期时偿还债务，夏洛克会惩罚他——从他身上取下一磅肉，所以划线词“penalty”的含义是“惩罚”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Shylock was still angry about his daughter, Jessica, and the news for him was not good, either. He paid people to look for her, but they could not find her.”以及第三段中的“However, when he heard that Antonio had lost a ship and all its valuable cargo, he was pleased. He decided that if Antonio could not pay back his debt (债务) when it was due (到期), he would make him pay the penalty. He would take one pound of his flesh (肉).”可知，先是Antonio向Shylock借钱，然后是Shylock花钱雇人去找他的女儿，所以②排第一，④第二；根据第四段中的“He lost another ship in a storm near Tripoli. It was a very large ship and its cargo was very valuable.”可知，①排第三。根据第五段“‘You will not take a pound of his flesh, will you?’ Antonio’s friends asked Shylock. ‘What use is that? What can you do with it?’”可知，③排第四。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章内容主要讲安东尼奥的商船出事沉入到了海底，夏洛克逼他还钱，不还钱就从他身上割一磅肉，所以D项“安东尼奥的坏消息”符合。故选D。 主题02 名人故事 Passage 1 （2026·江苏常州·一模）Su Shi, also known as Su Dongpo, was a famous poet (诗人) in the Northern Song Dynasty.

It starts with voices in the yard. When I come out to check on Daniel, his face is pressed on the fence (篱笆). The woman says, “You wait right here. I’ll be right back.” She returns with a saw (锯子). There’s a whirring. A circle in the wooden fence drops out of sight. “Dad! Sandy just drilled out a hole in the fence so Sandy and I can talk!” Daniel spins around. I hadn’t known her name was Sandy. We’ve lived here a month before Daniel was born. Daniel’s and Sandy’s murmuring voices continue. Whenever Daniel is outside, he circles near the fence that isn’t a fence any more. Some days my son just goes to stand at the hole, yelling. “Sandy! Saaaaandyyyyy!” Sometimes I hear bits of their talk. “We painted a ghost at school.” Or: “Wheeler and Jackson were playing football, and they told me I couldn’t play.” “That wasn’t very nice,” says Sandy. “Did that hurt your feelings? Did you let them know that?” I can’t bear how he replies. A moment of envy runs through me. He never talks about his school things with me. Daniel and Sandy not only keep chatting through the hole, they also exchange gifts. A coloring book, then a Hot Wheels car. It’s unclear what Daniel gives Sandy in return. One afternoon, I hear Sandy’s voice floating over the top of the fence with the hole. “I thought maybe Daniel could come for a play date.” We ring the bell on Sandy’s porch. She’s a middle-aged woman with smiling eyes. Sandy’s yard is sweet with the smell of flowers. We have a pleasant afternoon with Sandy. My son’s adult friend, the first friend Daniel has made on his own. We’ve passed through the hole in the fence. A month later, Sandy leaves to care for her mother in Kansas. She left behind a box of presents: a coloring book, sidewalk chalk, the missing orange part in the Hot Wheels track. When I look at Daniel, he’s looking down at his shoes. He sometimes wanders down to the fence. Instead of calling “Sandy! Saaaaandyyyyy!” he cries. “Hello! Helloooooo!” One day, Daniel receives Sandy’s postcard. They write frequently, warmly. 1．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Sandy leaves for Kansas to care for her mother. b. Daniel and Sandy exchange gifts through the hole. c.

He is an Italian opera singer, musician, and music producer. He has performed for many people worldwide. But how did his musical journey begin? Bocelli was born in 1958 with an eye disease. But he became interested in musical instruments at an early age. When he was six years old, he began learning to play the piano. However, he became completely blind at age 12 after an accident. Blindness didn’t stop his love for music. He began to teach himself to read music in Braille (盲文) and learned to play the flute, saxophone, trumpet and more! He also began developing his singing. At age 14, he won a small singing competition near his hometown. Later, he studied law at university and sang in piano bars at night to pay for his studies. After graduating, he was a lawyer for just one year until he decided to follow his dream of music. Bocelli got his big break in 1992 when he recorded a song for the famous singer, Luciano Pavarotti. Pavarotti was amazed by Bocelli’s voice, and they soon became friends. They recorded the song “Miserere” together, and it became a hit all over Europe! The Music of Silence is a movie that tells Andrea Bocelli’s life story. The director wanted to show the connection between hearing and loss of eyesight. When one sense is weak, sometimes the other senses are stronger. Bocelli’s blindness is one of the reasons why he can hear more of the tiny differences in his singing voice. Andrea Bocelli doesn’t think blindness is a disability. He encourages people not just by his voice, but by his unbreakable spirit. 1．How did Bocelli learn music when he was completely blind? A．By studying law at university. B．By joining big events worldwide. C．By singing in piano bars at night. D．By teaching himself to read music in Braille. 2．What is the meaning of the underlined word “break” in paragraph 3? A．Rest. B．Problem. C．Chance. D．Stop. 3．What changes did Bocelli’s blindness bring to his music? A．He memorizes songs faster by using Braille. B．His hearing was improved by the blindness. C．Blindness gets him help from movie directors. D．Pavarotti recorded music with him out of sympathy. 4．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To explain why blindness can make some people the best singers. B．To introduce how to become a famous musician like Andrea Bocelli. C．To introduce someone who faces difficulties bravely to achieve dreams. D．To explain that playing a musical instrument helps improve singing skills. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了意大利歌剧歌手安德烈·波切利的人生经历，讲述了他虽失明却坚持音乐梦想，凭借不懈努力获得成功，并以不屈精神鼓舞他人的故事。 1．文章第二段明确指出：“However, he became completely blind at age 12 after an accident. Blindness didn’t stop his love for music. He began to teach himself to read music in Braille.”，说明波切利完全失明后，通过自学盲文读乐谱来学习音乐。 2．文章第三段提到：“Bocelli got his big break in 1992 when he recorded a song for the famous singer, Luciano Pavarotti. Pavarotti was amazed by Bocelli’s voice, and they soon became friends.”，结合语境，此处指波切利获得了重要的机会，之后与帕瓦罗蒂合作并走红，因此“break”在此处意为“机会”。 3．文章第四段指出：“Bocelli’s blindness is one of the reasons why he can hear more of the tiny differences in his singing voice.”，说明失明让波切利能听到歌声中更细微的差别，即他的听力因失明得到了提升。 4．通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了波切利虽身患失明的困境，却始终坚持音乐梦想，最终获得成功，还以自身精神鼓舞他人的故事，核心是介绍一位勇敢面对困难、实现梦想的人。 Passage 2 （2026·江苏南京·一模） Laurie had just come home from school when she heard a light hammering (敲击) sound coming from Grandpa’s study. Curious, she tapped on the door. “Grandpa? Can I come in?” “Just a second!” Grandpa answered. Laurie heard lots of shuffling (拖着脚走). “Enter!” Grandpa was sitting empty-handed at his desk, but there were wood shavings (刨花) everywhere. “Aren’t you supposed to be at school?” he asked. “It’s over at three. What were you doing here?” Laurie said curiously. She saw something wooden underneath a book. “Aha!” she cried, pulling the object out. “What’s this?” “Well, that’s your birthday gift. But now it won’t be a surprise,” Grandpa said. It was a wooden crocodile (鳄鱼) with a string (线) on the top of its head so the mouth could be opened and shut. “It’s an ancient Egyptian (埃及的) toy,” Grandpa said. “I made this, but if you were a child in ancient Egypt, you might have something similar. Crocodiles were an important part of Egyptian life, and many crocodiles lived in the Nile River.” “The Egyptians depended on the Nile River for many things. It flooded every year, giving much-needed water and nutrients (营养物) to the land. This made farming easy for the Egyptians. The soft, wet land also made good mud (土) for building mud-brick houses.” “And the river provided the people of the area with a convenient highway for transportation and communication.” “Ancient Egypt was an agricultural society. If you were a little Egyptian girl living about four thousand years ago, your father would probably be a grain farmer. Grains were the most common crop, especially wheat and barley, which were used to make bread and beer—the most typical food and drink.” “Unluckily, children didn’t go to school like you do now. You’d probably spend most days helping your parents. During the harvest season maybe you would bundle (捆扎) wheat up on the farm. Or perhaps you’d be at home, helping to cook or take care of the vegetable garden near your house.” Just then, Mom called from downstairs, “Laurie! I’m home!” “Hi, Mom! I’ll be right down!” Laurie said. “Thanks, Grandpa. I’ll pretend (假装) I never saw this,” she said, putting the crocodile back on the desk. “Until next time!” “Until next time!
