Passage1
(2025·江苏盐城·中考真题)
The sixth planet was ten times larger than the last one. There the little prince met an old gentleman who was writing a big book.
“What is that big book?” said the little prince. “What are you doing?”
“I am a geographer,” the old gentleman said to him. “And I am writing about all the seas, mountains and deserts.”
“That is interesting,” said the little prince. “So could you tell me something about your planet?”
“I couldn’t tell you,” said the geographer. “But you are a geographer!”
“Exactly,” the geographer said. “But I am not an explorer.
We don’t have any explorers here. I don’t go out to count the seas, mountains and deserts. Instead, I receive explorers from other planets in my study. I ask them questions, and I write down their answers.”
The geographer’s eyes suddenly shone with excitement.
“But you... you come from far away! You are an explorer! You shall describe your planet to me!”
“Oh, where I live,” said the little prince, “it is all so small. I have a flower on my planet.”
“We do not record flowers,” said the geographer.
“Why is that? The flower is the most beautiful thing on my planet!”
“We do not record them,” said the geographer, “because they are ephemeral.”
“What does that mean... ‘ephemeral’?”
“Geographies,” said the geographer, “are the books about eternal things. The thing that matters to us is the mountain. It doesn’t change. But your flower is different. It will not last long. It is ephemeral.”
“My flower is ephemeral,” the little prince said to himself, “and I have left her on my planet, all alone!”
That was his first moment of regret. But he took courage and asked, “What place would you advise me to visit now?”
“The planet Earth,” replied the geographer.
“I promise you will like it.”
And the little prince went away, thinking of his flower.
—Adapted from The Little Prince
第六颗星球比上一颗星球大十倍。小王子在那儿遇到了一位正在写一本厚书的老先生。
“这本大书是什么?” 小王子问道,“您在做什么呢?”
“我是一名地理学家。” 老先生回答他,“我负责记载所有的海洋、山川与沙漠。”
“听起来很有意思。” 小王子说,“那您能和我讲讲您星球的故事吗?”
“我没法告诉你。” 地理学家说道。“可您明明是地理学家啊!”
“没错。” 地理学家说,“但我并不是探险家。
我们这里没有探险家。我不会亲自出门去统计海洋、山川和沙漠。相反,我会在书房接待来自其他星球的探险家,向他们提问,并记录下他们的回答。”
地理学家的眼中突然闪现出兴奋的光芒。
“但是你…… 你来自远方!你就是一位探险家!快向我描述一下你的星球吧!”
“我住的地方,” 小王子说道,“一切都很小。我的星球上有一朵玫瑰花。”
“我们不记载花卉。” 地理学家说。
“为什么呢?那朵花是我的星球上最美的事物啊!”
“我们不会记录它们,” 地理学家答道,“因为它们转瞬即逝。”
“‘转瞬即逝’是什么意思?”
“地理典籍,” 地理学家解释道,“是记载永恒事物的书籍。我们看重的是山川,它们亘古不变。但你的玫瑰花不一样,它的生命十分短暂,转瞬即逝。”
“我的花儿转瞬即逝,” 小王子喃喃自语,“我却把它独自留在了星球上!”
这是他第一次心生懊悔。但他还是鼓起勇气问道:“那您建议我接下来去往哪里?”
“地球。” 地理学家回答,
“我保证,你会喜欢那里的。”
小王子满心挂念着他的玫瑰花,转身离开了。

Passage2
(2025·江苏淮安·中考真题)One day, Andy was on his trip to business. While walking past a village, he saw many people busy with their work in a large field. At that moment, a young man who sat by the road caught his attention.
一天,安迪外出出差。路过一座村庄时,他看见许多人正在大片田地里忙碌劳作。就在这时,一位坐在路边的年轻人引起了他的注意。
Andy wondered why the young man was free in such a busy season. Then he went up and asked, “Have you grown your vegetables?”
安迪很疑惑,为何农忙时节这个年轻人却无所事事。于是他走上前问道:“你种蔬菜了吗?”
The young man shook his head and sighed, “Not yet! I’m worrying about the weather. If there is a storm, my vegetables may be destroyed. If it is too cold, the seeds may not come out from the ground at all. If it is too hot, the seeds may even go bad in the soil.”
年轻人摇了摇头,叹了口气:“还没有!我一直在担心天气。要是遇上暴风雨,蔬菜可能会被毁掉;天气太冷的话,种子根本没法破土;天气太热,种子甚至会在土里腐烂坏掉。”
Andy nodded his head and asked again, “Then, have you grown rice?” The young man thought for a while, and answered, “Not yet. I’m worried about the birds. They may eat the rice. I can’t take that risk.” Andy was very surprised, “So, what have you grown then?”
安迪点点头,又问:“那你种水稻了吗?” 年轻人思索片刻,回答:“也没有。我怕鸟儿偷吃稻谷,我不敢冒这个险。” 安迪十分惊讶:“那你到底种了什么?”
The farmer replied, “I haven’t grown anything. I am waiting for the best time! I must make sure that nothing is going to destroy my plants.”
农夫答道:“我什么都没种。我在等待最好的时机!我必须保证,没有任何事物会毁掉我的庄稼。”
Of course, the best time never came. And the young man didn’t get anything from the field at last.
理所当然,完美的时机永远没有到来。最终,年轻人一无所获。
In our life, many people may have the same problem. They have dreams, but they don’t take action because they worry too much about the difficulties in the future. However, if they don’t do anything, how can they achieve their dreams?
生活中,很多人都存在同样的问题。他们拥有梦想,却因过度顾虑未来的重重困难而止步不前、不愿行动。可如果一味原地等待、无所作为,又该如何实现梦想呢?
【长难句分析】

2. 原文:At that moment, a young man who sat by the road caught his attention.
句意:就在那时,一个坐在路边的年轻人引起了他的注意。
分析:本句是含有 who 引导定语从句的复合句。先行词为 a young man,who 在从句中作主语;主句谓语为 caught;固定搭配 catch one's attention 引起某人注意。
3. 原文:If there is a storm, my vegetables may be destroyed. If it is too cold, the seeds may not come out from the ground at all.

Ma Liang wanted a real paintbrush (画笔), but his family was too poor to buy one. At night, he dreamed of painting colorful flowers and flying birds.
One starry night, an old man with white hair appeared in Ma Liang’s dream. “Here,” he said, handing a bright paintbrush, “use it to help the poor.” When Ma Liang woke up, the magic brush was right next to him!
The next morning, a hungry child cried, “I’m so hungry.” Ma Liang drew a round mantou—and it dropped into the child’s hands! Word spread (传播) quickly. A woman asked, “Can you draw a well (井)? Our water is far away.” Ma Liang drew a deep well with clear water, and villagers cheered. He drew plows (犁) for farmers, coats for cold children, and even a new roof (屋顶) for the old school.
The greedy king heard about the brush and sent soldiers to bring Ma Liang to his golden palace. “Draw a mountain of gold!” shouted the king. Ma Liang drew a river on the wall first, and he drew a golden mountain on the other side of the river. After that, he drew a ship. As the king jumped onto the ship and reached the golden mountain, Ma Liang quickly drew huge waves (浪) and a storm. The ship turned over, and the king staved on the golden mountain forever.

Andy nodded his head and asked again, “Then, have you grown rice?” The young man thought for a while, and answered, “Not yet. I’m worried about the birds. They may eat the rice. I can’t take that risk.” Andy was very surprised, “So, what have you grown then?”
安迪点点头,又问:“那你种水稻了吗?” 年轻人思索片刻,回答:“也没有。我怕鸟儿偷吃稻谷,我不敢冒这个险。” 安迪十分惊讶:“那你到底种了什么?”
The farmer replied, “I haven’t grown anything. I am waiting for the best time! I must make sure that nothing is going to destroy my plants.”
农夫答道:“我什么都没种。我在等待最好的时机!我必须保证,没有任何事物会毁掉我的庄稼。”
Of course, the best time never came. And the young man didn’t get anything from the field at last.
理所当然,完美的时机永远没有到来。最终,年轻人一无所获。
In our life, many people may have the same problem. They have dreams, but they don’t take action because they worry too much about the difficulties in the future. However, if they don’t do anything, how can they achieve their dreams?
生活中,很多人都存在同样的问题。他们拥有梦想,却因过度顾虑未来的重重困难而止步不前、不愿行动。可如果一味原地等待、无所作为,又该如何实现梦想呢?

Passage2
(24-25七年级下·广东汕头·期末)Once there were four bulls (公牛), and they were good friends. They always stayed near each other. When the lion saw them, he wanted to catch one of them as his prey (猎物). But he knew that it would be too difficult for him to attack (攻击) a group of four together. So he didn’t come near them.
One day, the lion had an idea. He waited until one of the bulls walked away far enough from the others.
“Did you know, Bull, that the other bulls always eat the best grass?”
“Go away. Lion,” said the bull. “I’m not listening to you.” But the bull had a little question mark (问号) in his head now and he watched the other bulls when they were eating.
The next day, the lion spoke to the second bull and told him what he had said to the first bull. Again, the second bull told the lion that he wasn’t listening, but he began to watch the other bulls. Then the lion spoke to the third and to the fourth.
Soon the four bulls became angry with each other and they stopped spending time together.
In the end, the lion caught one bull and ate him up. One by one he caught all the four bulls and ate them up.
1.Why didn’t the lion come near the bulls at first?
A.Because he didn’t like the bulls.
B.Because it’s not easy to attack the four bulls together.
C.Because he didn’t want to catch them.

【答案】1.B 2.D 3.A 4.B 5.A
【解析】本文讲述了四头公牛原本团结一致,狮子无法攻击它们。后来狮子挑拨离间,使公牛们互相猜疑并分开。最终狮子逐一捕食了四头公牛。故事说明团结就是力量,分裂会带来危险。
1.细节理解题。根据“But he knew that it would be too difficult for him to attack (攻击) a group of four together. So he didn’t come near them.”可知,狮子最初没有攻击公牛是因为攻击四个在一起的公牛不容易。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据文中内容可知,文章开篇提到“Once there were four bulls (公牛), and they were good friends. They always stayed near each other.”,说明一开始四只公牛是待在一起的,即⑤;接着“One day, the lion had an idea. He waited until one of the bulls walked away far enough from the others.”以及狮子分别对每只公牛说坏话,这是狮子试图分离公牛,即②;然后“the four bulls became angry with each other”,表明公牛们开始打斗,对应①;再之后“they stopped spending time together”,是④;最后“One by one he caught all the four bulls and ate them up.”,为③。所以正确顺序是⑤②①④③。故选D。
3.主旨大意题。故事中四只公牛原本是好朋友,团结在一起时狮子不敢攻击它们,但狮子用计让它们彼此产生矛盾,不再团结,最终被狮子逐个吃掉。这表明团结起来力量大,一旦分裂就会被敌人各个击破。选项A“团结就是力量”能够概括文章大意。故选A。
4.最佳标题题。根据文中内容可知,文章主要讲述了狮子通过计谋将四只团结的公牛分开,最终把它们都吃掉的故事,主角是狮子和四只公牛。选项B“狮子和四只公牛”能准确概括文章内容。故选B。
5.推理判断题。文章是一个关于狮子和公牛的寓言故事,通过故事来传达道理,通常会出现在故事书中。故选A。

He loved drawing so much that he sat by the river and drew pictures in the soft sand with a thin stick (棍子) every day. “our sheep look real!” said an old farmer, smiling. Ma Liang wanted a real paintbrush (画笔), but his family was too poor to buy one. At night, he dreamed of painting colorful flowers and flying birds.
One starry night, an old man with white hair appeared in Ma Liang’s dream. “Here,” he said, handing a bright paintbrush, “use it to help the poor.” When Ma Liang woke up, the magic brush was right next to him!
The next morning, a hungry child cried, “I’m so hungry.” Ma Liang drew a round mantou—and it dropped into the child’s hands! Word spread (传播) quickly. A woman asked, “Can you draw a well (井)? Our water is far away.” Ma Liang drew a deep well with clear water, and villagers cheered. He drew plows (犁) for farmers, coats for cold children, and even a new roof (屋顶) for the old school.
The greedy king heard about the brush and sent soldiers to bring Ma Liang to his golden palace. “Draw a mountain of gold!” shouted the king. Ma Liang drew a river on the wall first, and he drew a golden mountain on the other side of the river. After that, he drew a ship. As the king jumped onto the ship and reached the golden mountain, Ma Liang quickly drew huge waves (浪) and a storm. The ship turned over, and the king staved on the golden mountain forever.

7.句意:令他惊讶的是,他的孩子们很不高兴。根据后文发现庄稼死了,可知孩子们不高兴,happy的反义词是unhappy“不高兴的”,故填unhappy。
8.句意:他的一个儿子发现有问题。one of后接复数名词,son的复数是sons,故填sons。
9.句意:他匆忙地跑向田地。in a hurry是固定短语,意为“匆忙地”,故填in。
