Passage A
It is summer. The sun is shining brightly. The Grasshopper (蟋蟀) is lying under the tree. The Ants are busy doing something. The Grasshopper thinks the ants are silly (愚蠢的) to work hard on such a hot day.
The Ants are busy collecting food. The Grasshopper says to himself, “Look at those silly Worker Ants! How tired they are!” The Grasshopper doesn’t understand why the Ants are working so hard. But he becomes a little curious (好奇的) and says to the Queen Ant, “Come to sing and dance with me.” The Queen Ant says nothing. “Why are the Worker Ants collecting food?” the Grasshopper asks. “It will be winter soon. We must get ready.” the Queen Ant answers. The Grasshopper says, “Winter is far away. There is lots of food everywhere. Stop working. Rest for a while.” The Queen Ant says nothing and just walks away.
When winter comes, the Grasshopper looks around for food in the cold. He is cold and starving to death (饿死), but he can’t find any food. The Grasshopper is about to fall to the ground when suddenly he thinks of the Queen Ant and Worker Ants.
The Grasshopper comes to the Queen Ant’s house and knocks at the door. The Queen Ant opens the door. The Grasshopper tells the Queen Ant that he hasn’t eaten for five days. The Queen Ant feels sorry for the Grasshopper and gives him some food. The other ants all laugh at the Grasshopper and say, “If you were silly enough to sing all summer, then you must go to bed hungry in the winter.”

长难句解析
“The Queen Ant feels sorry for the Grasshopper and gives him some food.”“蚁后觉得很同情他,给了他一些食物。”
分析:这句话是故事的转折点,也是体现“同情心”与“宽恕”的关键之处。尽管蟋蟀之前懒惰、嘲笑蚂蚁,冬天来临后走投无路,蚁后并没有因他过去的愚蠢而拒绝帮助,反而给予食物。
“If you were silly enough to sing all summer, then you must go to bed hungry in the winter.”“如果你愚蠢到整个夏天都在唱歌,那么冬天你就只能饿着肚子睡觉了。”
分析:这是整个寓言的核心教训和警句。夏天不准备,冬天挨饿——这是因果报应式的逻辑,也是蚂蚁们对蟋蟀行为的总结。
“It will be winter soon. We must get ready.”“冬天很快就要来了。我们必须做好准备。”
分析:这是蚂蚁与蟋蟀价值观冲突的直接体现。蟋蟀认为“冬天还远”,而蚁后强调“必须做好准备”。这句话揭示了蚂蚁行为背后的理性逻辑:预见未来、提前行动。它不仅是情节推进的关键(解释蚂蚁为什么在夏天忙碌),也树立了整个故事的行动准则。
【答案与解析】
【答案】1.B 2.B 3.A 4.D 5.C
【导语】本文是一篇寓言故事,讲述夏天蚂蚁辛苦收集食物为冬天做准备,蟋蟀却只顾玩乐、嘲笑蚂蚁辛苦。等到冬天来临,蟋蟀又冷又饿找不到食物,只能向蚂蚁求助。故事告诉我们要学会提前规划,不要贪图一时安逸。
1.根据文章第二段句子 “The Ants are busy collecting food.”,可知夏天蚂蚁正忙着收集食物。
2.根据文章第二段句子 “It will be winter soon. We must get ready.”,可知蚁后不和蟋蟀玩耍,是因为知道冬天将至,需要提前准备食物。
3.通读全文梳理情节:夏天蚂蚁努力储粮→蟋蟀邀请蚂蚁唱歌跳舞→蚁后提醒要为冬天做准备→冬天蟋蟀饥饿四处找食物。
4.本文是蚂蚁和蟋蟀的寓言小故事,情节简单、富有教育寓意,符合儿童故事书的文体特点。
5.通读全文可知,蚂蚁提前为冬天储备食物安稳过冬,蟋蟀只顾玩乐毫无准备最终挨饿,告诉我们要为艰难的日子提前做好规划。
译文
现在是夏天。阳光灿烂地照耀着。蟋蟀正躺在一棵树下。蚂蚁们正在忙着做些什么。蟋蟀觉得蚂蚁们在这样炎热的天气里辛苦工作真是愚蠢。
蚂蚁们正忙着收集食物。蟋蟀自言自语道:“看看那些愚蠢的工蚁!它们多累啊!”蟋蟀不明白蚂蚁们为什么这么辛苦地工作。但他变得有点好奇,便对蚁后说:“来和我一起唱歌跳舞吧。”蚁后什么也没说。蟋蟀问:“工蚁们为什么要收集食物?”蚁后回答:“冬天很快就要来了。我们必须做好准备。”蟋蟀说:“冬天还远着呢。到处都有很多食物。别干活了,休息一会儿吧。”蚁后什么也没说,径直走开了。
冬天来了,蟋蟀在寒冷中四处寻找食物。他又冷又饿,快要饿死了,但什么食物也找不到。蟋蟀快要倒在地上时,突然想起了蚁后和工蚁们。
蟋蟀来到蚁后的家门前敲门。蚁后打开了门。蟋蟀告诉蚁后他已经五天没吃东西了。蚁后觉得很同情他,给了他一些食物。其他蚂蚁都嘲笑蟋蟀,说道:“如果你愚蠢到整个夏天都在唱歌,那么冬天你就只能饿着肚子睡觉了。”

【答案】6.C 7.B 8.D 9.A 10.D
【导语】本文是一篇寓言故事,讲述池塘里的鱼不听善良老鸭子的劝告,忽视渔夫即将来捕鱼的警告,最终被全部捕捉,故事告诫人们要听取他人的好建议。
6.第一段明确指出:“He often tells the fish, ‘It is dangerous if you never listen to others.’”,说明老鸭子常告诉鱼应该听别人的话。
7.第二段明确指出:“One afternoon, the duck is resting beside the pond when two fishermen stop there to drink water.”,说明鸭子看到渔夫时正在池塘边休息。
8.第三段明确指出:“Many fishermen are trying to catch us. They will never make it.”,说明鱼认为渔夫永远抓不到它们。
9.第一段提到“there is a kind old duck”,且鸭子多次提醒鱼危险,体现其善良。
10.本文讲述鱼因不听鸭子的好建议最终被捕捉,故事告诉我们要接受他人的好建议。
译文
在一个池塘里,住着许多鱼。它们从不听任何人的话。
池塘附近住着一只善良的老鸭子。他经常对鱼说:“如果你们从来不听别人的话,那是很危险的。”但鱼从来不听他的。
一天下午,鸭子正在池塘边休息,这时有两个渔夫停下来喝水。渔夫们看到池塘里有很多鱼。“看!这个池塘里全是鱼,”其中一个渔夫说。“我们明天带着渔网来这里吧。”鸭子听到了这一切。渔夫离开后,他迅速游进池塘,对鱼说:“你们所有人必须在明天早上之前离开这个池塘。那两个渔夫会来抓你们的。”
但鱼只是说:“很多渔夫都试图来抓我们。他们永远不会得逞的。鸭子先生,别为我们担心。”
第二天早上,渔夫们来到池塘。很快,他们就把所有的鱼都抓走了。鱼们哭喊道:“我们当初应该听鸭子先生的话。现在我们不得不用生命来付出代价。”

Passage 2
Sometimes we make mistakes because we judge (判断) a person too quickly. What you see or what you hear may not be the fact. Many small things in our life give us examples, they are small things, but they have important meanings. Here is a story about it.
A lovely little girl is holding two apples with both hands.
Her mum comes in and asks her little daughter with a smile, “My dear, could you give your mum one of your two apples?”
The girl looks up at her mum for a while. And then she takes a quick bite (咬) on one apple, and then quickly on the other.
The mum feels the smile on her face gets cold, but she tries hard not to look disappointed.
Then the little girl gives one of her apples to her mum, and says, “Mummy, here you are. This is the nicer one.”
We should keep quiet before getting angry. When we are quiet, we can know the real thing. Sometimes the real thing doesn’t come from what we see with our eyes or what we hear with our ears. We should learn to wait for others to show their real meaning. Waiting for a minute is useful. It is bad for everyone to get angry easily.
1.What does the underlined word “disappointed” mean?
A.Unhappy. B.Surprised. C.Dangerous. D.Safe.
2.Why does the girl bite both apples?
A.Because she wants to eat them herself.
B.Because she is playing a game with her mother.
C.Because she doesn’t want to give them to her mother.
D.Because she wants to give the nicer one to her mother.
3.What should we do before getting angry according to the passage?
A.Speak loudly. B.Keep quiet and wait.
C.Leave quickly. D.Ask for the reason.
4.How does the writer show his/her idea in the passage?
A.By using facts. B.By listing numbers.
C.By telling a story. D.By answering questions.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.B 4.C
【导语】本文通过一个小女孩给妈妈苹果时先各咬一口的故事,说明了“不要急于下判断”的道理,并建议人们在生气前先保持安静、耐心等待,以了解事情的真实情况。
1.由第五段“The mum feels the smile on her face gets cold, but she tries hard not to look disappointed”可知,妈妈看到女儿咬苹果时笑容变冷,但她努力不让自己显得“失望”,因此“disappointed”意为“失望的”,与“Unhappy(不高兴的)”意思相近。
2.由第六段小女孩说的话“Mummy, here you are. This is the nicer one”可知,她咬两个苹果是为了尝出哪个更甜,然后把更好吃的给妈妈。
3.由第七段“We should keep quiet before getting angry...We should learn to wait for others to show their real meaning”可知,生气前我们应该保持安静并等待。
4.全文通过讲述小女孩咬苹果的故事来阐述不要急于下判断的道理,因此作者是通过“讲故事”的方式来表达自己的观点。
Passage 3
In a forest lives a small squirrel named Zip. He has a fat tail and moves quickly, but he often feels sad. While his friends seem to have amazing skills, Zip believes he is “just so-so” because he is too small.
On a sunny morning, the forest animals get together for their yearly “Forest Olympics”. Zip sits quietly on a branch (树枝), watching the games. Zoom, the bear, is very strong. He can lift a huge rock. Fiona, the fox, is the fastest runner. She runs through the grass like orange lightning. Oliver, the owl (猫头鹰), is very clever, knowing everything about the forest.
“I wish I could be as strong as Zoom, or as fast as Fiona,” Zip thinks.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blows Zoom’s favourite hat onto a thin, high branch. Zoom tries to climb, but he is too heavy. Fiona tries to jump, but she cannot get the branch. Oliver tries to fly, but he cannot see well in the sun. All of them feel helpless.
“Let me try!” Zip cries. He is not strong or tall, but he is nimble (灵活的). He jumps to the shaking branch easily. With his small hands, he catches the hat and runs down safely.
“Thank you, Zip! ________”, Zoom gives Zip a warm hug. Zip dances happily. He finally sees that being small is not a bad thing. He learns that everyone is special and different, even the smallest animal can make a big difference.
1.How does Zip feel at the beginning of the story?
A.Excited. B.Interested. C.Sad. D.Angry.
2.Who is smart according to paragraph 2?
A.Zip. B.Zoom. C.Fiona. D.Oliver.
3.Why do the animals feel helpless in paragraph 4?
A.Because the game is over. B.Because they are too heavy.
C.Because they can’t get the hat. D.Because the wind is so strong.
4.Which is the best sentence for the blank ________ in the last paragraph?
A.Your small size is your power. B.You run so slowly.
C.I can do it better than you. D.Being small is useless.
5.What does the story want to tell us?
A.Never too old to learn. B.Small animals are the best.
C.Practice makes perfect. D.Everyone has their own skills.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.C 4.A 5.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了小松鼠Zip一开始觉得自己很普通,在森林奥运会上看到朋友们展示各自的本领后,仍因自己身材小而感到难过。但在帮助朋友们拿到被风吹到高处的帽子后,它明白了每个人都有自己的独特之处,即使是最小的动物也能发挥重要作用。
1.文章第一段指出“He has a fat tail and moves quickly, but he often feels sad.”,直接说明了Zip一开始常常感到难过。
2.文章第二段提到“Oliver, the owl (猫头鹰), is very clever, knowing everything about the forest.”,表明Oliver很聪明。
3.文章第四段描述了风把Zoom的帽子吹到高处,Zoom、Fiona和Oliver都尝试去拿帽子但都失败了,所以“All of them feel helpless.”是因为他们拿不到帽子。
4.文章最后一段提到Zip帮助大家拿到了帽子,Zoom给了Zip一个温暖的拥抱,说明Zoom认可了Zip的能力,结合Zip靠自己灵活的身体拿到了帽子,可知A项“Your body is your power.”符合语境。
5.文章最后一段指出“He learns that everyone is special and different, even the smallest animal can make a big difference.”,表明故事想告诉我们每个人都有自己的独特之处和技能。

【导语】本文讲述了精灵和池塘的故事。
1.句意:一天,她发现了一只巨大的绿色蜻蜓,它实际上是有着强壮且长长的翅膀的精灵。
根据语境,可知格蕾丝发现了一只绿色蜻蜓,“finds”发现,符合语境;“creates”创造,“follows”跟随逻辑不符;“imagines”不符合语境。
2.句意:突然,池塘里的水和水里的鱼跳到了空中。
根据下文“Grace asks anxiously, ‘What are you doing?’”,可知事发突然;“Finally”逻辑不符;“Carefully”和“Quietly”句意不符。
3.句意:精灵回答:“我要把它带回森林。”
由“It’ll look nice in front of my house”可知,精灵想把池塘带回自己的房子前,“taking”带走,符合句意;“rushing”冲进,“kicking”踢和“dropping”掉落,语境不符。
4.句意:格蕾丝担心地说:“但它属于这里,这样的移动会伤害到它们吗?”
下文精灵回答“Never! My magic protects them”,不用担心,我的魔法会保护它们,可知格蕾丝担心精灵是否会伤害它们。“feed”喂养,“save”拯救和“attract”吸引均不符合语境。
5.句意:精灵边说,边把池塘变成了三角形。
根据“the pond into a triangle shape”可知,精灵此时改变了池塘的形状。“practising”练习,“breaking”打碎和“carrying”携带均不符合句意。
6.句意:最后,她向精灵发起挑战,让她把池塘完美地放回去。
由“Grace worries about the fish. Then she thinks of an idea”可知,格蕾丝的目的是保护池塘,此处她应该想让精灵把池塘恢复原貌,“put back”放回符合语境。“come back”回来不符合句意;“get up”起床和“pick up”捡起,逻辑不符。
7.句意:精灵自豪地照做了。
上文提到格蕾丝为了保护池塘,向精灵发起了挑战“She cleverly encourages the sprite to show more difficult magic, like changing shapes”,让精灵展示更多高难度的魔法,此处精灵应听从了她的话,自豪地把池塘放了回去。“luckily”幸运地,“lazily”懒惰地和“badly”糟糕地均不符合句意。
8.句意:然后格蕾丝假装很悲伤地说:“如果你把池塘带走,就没人能看到你完美的魔法了。”
根据话的内容“If you take the pond away, no one can see your perfect magic”,可知格蕾丝为了让精灵上当,假装很悲伤。“excited”激动的,“proud”自豪的和“bored”无聊的不符合语境。
9.句意:因为不想让自己的魔力被忽略,精灵把池塘放回原地。
由“Not wanting her work to go unnoticed”可知,精灵听从了格蕾丝的话,想向别人展示自己的魔法,她应把池塘放回原处,指代位置用“where”。“how”如何,“when”什么时候,“why”为什么,均逻辑不通。
10.句意:第二天,格蕾丝回到池塘,发现精灵在睡莲上休息。
此处精灵在睡莲上,符合语境的动词只有“resting”休息。“swimming”游泳,“hiding”隐藏和“racing”竞速均不符合语境。
11.句意:我意识到这个池塘不是特殊给我的,而是给所有喜爱它的人的。
由“but for everyone who loves it”可知,此时精灵意识到池塘是属于大家的。“bright”光明的,“tiring”累人的,“scary”可怕的,不符合句意。
12.句意:格蕾丝和精灵变成了好朋友,精灵甚至教了格蕾丝一些有关自然的课。
精灵生长在自然中,她能教格蕾丝的应该是有关于大自然的课。“habits”习惯和“spirits”精神不符合句意;“excuses”逻辑不通。
13.句意:现在格蕾丝能很好地说出昆虫和植物。
上文提到精灵教了格蕾丝有关于大自然的课,她现在具有了分辨动物昆虫的能力,“can”符合语境;“would”将会,“should”应该,“must”必须逻辑不符。
14.句意:一天晚上,当太阳下山时,池塘闪着光,像一颗钻石。
根据“like a diamond”可知,池塘此时闪闪发光。“blows”吹,“rises”上升和“shakes”晃动,均不符合语境。
15.句意:当我们和他人分享的时候甚至更神奇了。
全文格蕾丝一直致力于保护池塘,想让池塘维持原貌,大家一起分享,“share”符合语境。“fill”充满,“discover”发现,“forget”忘记,逻辑不符。

easy neck feeling always because both soup teach they about have
Do you invite friends to your home? What will you do when you go to 1 homes? Let me tell you an interesting story.
One day, a fox asks a stork (鹳) to have dinner at his home. The stork is very happy 2 it’s the first time for her to go to the fox’s home. She 3 thinks that he doesn’t like her, so she gets to the fox’s home on time.
The fox takes her to the dinner table and puts some soup in shallow (浅的) bowls for 4 of them to have. But because the bowl is too shallow for the stork, she can’t eat any of the 5 . But the fox can have his soup easily and laughs at the stork.
The stork is very unhappy but she doesn’t tell the fox 6 that. After the difficult dinner, she thanks him for his dinner. The stork wants 7 the fox a lesson, so she says to the fox, “What about 8 dinner at my home tomorrow?”
She has soup, too, but this time the soup is in two tall and narrow vases (花瓶). It’s 9 for her to get the soup from the vase. But it’s really hard for the fox because his 10 is so short. The fox knows what the stork wants to tell him very well. He knows he is not right.
In our life, we must think about our friends’ 11 and we must be friendly to them.
【答案】
1.their 2.because 3.always 4.both 5.soup 6.about 7.to teach 8.having 9.easy 10.neck 11.feelings
【导语】本文是一则寓言故事,讲述了狐狸请鹳吃饭时用浅碗装汤,导致鹳无法喝到;后来鹳回请狐狸,用高窄花瓶装汤,让狐狸也尝不到。故事告诉我们,要多为朋友的感受着想,友善对待他人。
1.句意:当你去他们家时,你会做什么?此处需要一个形容词性物主代词,在句中表示“他们的”。因为前面提到“你邀请朋友来你家”以及“当你去朋友的家”,所以选择they,但填其形容词性物主代词their修饰homes。
2.句意:鹳非常高兴,因为这是她第一次去狐狸家。此处需要一个连词,在句中表示原因。后文“it’s the first time”是“happy”的原因,所以用because引导原因状语从句。故填because。
3.句意:她一直认为他不喜欢她,所以她准时到了狐狸家。此处需要一个频率副词,在句中表示“总是”。根据语境,她之前以为狐狸不喜欢她,这是一种持续的想法,用always修饰thinks。故填always。
4.句意:狐狸带她去餐桌,把一些汤放在浅碗里给它们俩喝。此处需要一个不定代词或限定词,在句中表示“两者都”。因为狐狸和鹳是两位,用both of them表示“他们两个”。故填both。
5.句意:但碗对鹳来说太浅,她一点汤也喝不到。此处需要一个名词,在句中作宾语。前文提到“some soup”,这里指“汤这种食物”,故填soup。
6.句意:鹳很不高兴,但她没有告诉狐狸那件事。此处需要一个介词,在句中表示“关于”。tell sb about sth为固定搭配,意为“告诉某人关于某事”,故填about。
7.句意:鹳想给狐狸一个教训。此处需要一个动词,在句中作谓语。teach sb a lesson为固定短语,意为“给某人一个教训”,want to do sth,所以选择teach“教”,但填其动词不定式to teach。
8.句意:“明天在我家吃晚饭怎么样?”此处需要一个动名词,在句中作介词about的宾语。What about doing sth?为固定句型,表示“做某事怎么样”,have dinner意为“吃晚饭”,所以选择have,但填其动名词having。
9.句意:对她来说从花瓶里喝汤很容易。此处需要一个形容词,在句中作表语。It’s+adj.+for sb to do sth结构,根据上下文,鹳的长嘴能伸进窄花瓶,所以对她来说“容易”,所以选择easy意为“容易的”,故填easy。
10.句意:但对狐狸来说真的很难,因为他的脖子很短。此处需要一个名词,在句中作主语。根据常识,狐狸脖子短,难以伸进高窄花瓶,故填neck。
11.句意:在生活中,我们必须考虑朋友的感受,并且必须对他们友善。此处需要一个名词,在句中作宾语。friends’后面接名词,根据寓意,我们要顾及朋友的“感受”,本句中friends为复数,故填feeling的复数形式feelings。

Passage A
It is summer. The sun is shining brightly. The Grasshopper (蟋蟀) is lying under the tree. The Ants are busy doing something. The Grasshopper thinks the ants are silly (愚蠢的) to work hard on such a hot day.
The Ants are busy collecting food. The Grasshopper says to himself, “Look at those silly Worker Ants! How tired they are!” The Grasshopper doesn’t understand why the Ants are working so hard. But he becomes a little curious (好奇的) and says to the Queen Ant, “Come to sing and dance with me.” The Queen Ant says nothing. “Why are the Worker Ants collecting food?” the Grasshopper asks. “It will be winter soon. We must get ready.” the Queen Ant answers. The Grasshopper says, “Winter is far away. There is lots of food everywhere. Stop working. Rest for a while.” The Queen Ant says nothing and just walks away.
When winter comes, the Grasshopper looks around for food in the cold. He is cold and starving to death (饿死), but he can’t find any food. The Grasshopper is about to fall to the ground when suddenly he thinks of the Queen Ant and Worker Ants.
The Grasshopper comes to the Queen Ant’s house and knocks at the door. The Queen Ant opens the door. The Grasshopper tells the Queen Ant that he hasn’t eaten for five days. The Queen Ant feels sorry for the Grasshopper and gives him some food. The other ants all laugh at the Grasshopper and say, “If you were silly enough to sing all summer, then you must go to bed hungry in the winter.”

A.Playing with the Grasshopper. B.Collecting food.
C.Singing under the tree. D.Looking for water.

A.b→d→c→a B.b→c→d→a C.d→b→c→a D.d→b→a→c

D.Summer is the best time to enjoy life.
长难句解析
“The Queen Ant feels sorry for the Grasshopper and gives him some food.”“蚁后觉得很同情他,给了他一些食物。”
分析:这句话是故事的转折点,也是体现“同情心”与“宽恕”的关键之处。尽管蟋蟀之前懒惰、嘲笑蚂蚁,冬天来临后走投无路,蚁后并没有因他过去的愚蠢而拒绝帮助,反而给予食物。
“If you were silly enough to sing all summer, then you must go to bed hungry in the winter.”“如果你愚蠢到整个夏天都在唱歌,那么冬天你就只能饿着肚子睡觉了。”
分析:这是整个寓言的核心教训和警句。夏天不准备,冬天挨饿——这是因果报应式的逻辑,也是蚂蚁们对蟋蟀行为的总结。
“It will be winter soon. We must get ready.”“冬天很快就要来了。我们必须做好准备。”
分析:这是蚂蚁与蟋蟀价值观冲突的直接体现。蟋蟀认为“冬天还远”,而蚁后强调“必须做好准备”。这句话揭示了蚂蚁行为背后的理性逻辑:预见未来、提前行动。它不仅是情节推进的关键(解释蚂蚁为什么在夏天忙碌),也树立了整个故事的行动准则。
【答案与解析】
【答案】1.B 2.B 3.A 4.D 5.C
【导语】本文是一篇寓言故事,讲述夏天蚂蚁辛苦收集食物为冬天做准备,蟋蟀却只顾玩乐、嘲笑蚂蚁辛苦。等到冬天来临,蟋蟀又冷又饿找不到食物,只能向蚂蚁求助。故事告诉我们要学会提前规划,不要贪图一时安逸。
1.根据文章第二段句子 “The Ants are busy collecting food.”,可知夏天蚂蚁正忙着收集食物。
2.根据文章第二段句子 “It will be winter soon. We must get ready.”,可知蚁后不和蟋蟀玩耍,是因为知道冬天将至,需要提前准备食物。
3.通读全文梳理情节:夏天蚂蚁努力储粮→蟋蟀邀请蚂蚁唱歌跳舞→蚁后提醒要为冬天做准备→冬天蟋蟀饥饿四处找食物。
4.本文是蚂蚁和蟋蟀的寓言小故事,情节简单、富有教育寓意,符合儿童故事书的文体特点。
5.通读全文可知,蚂蚁提前为冬天储备食物安稳过冬,蟋蟀只顾玩乐毫无准备最终挨饿,告诉我们要为艰难的日子提前做好规划。
译文
现在是夏天。阳光灿烂地照耀着。蟋蟀正躺在一棵树下。蚂蚁们正在忙着做些什么。蟋蟀觉得蚂蚁们在这样炎热的天气里辛苦工作真是愚蠢。
蚂蚁们正忙着收集食物。蟋蟀自言自语道:“看看那些愚蠢的工蚁!它们多累啊!”蟋蟀不明白蚂蚁们为什么这么辛苦地工作。但他变得有点好奇,便对蚁后说:“来和我一起唱歌跳舞吧。”蚁后什么也没说。蟋蟀问:“工蚁们为什么要收集食物?”蚁后回答:“冬天很快就要来了。我们必须做好准备。”蟋蟀说:“冬天还远着呢。到处都有很多食物。别干活了,休息一会儿吧。”蚁后什么也没说,径直走开了。
冬天来了,蟋蟀在寒冷中四处寻找食物。他又冷又饿,快要饿死了,但什么食物也找不到。蟋蟀快要倒在地上时,突然想起了蚁后和工蚁们。
蟋蟀来到蚁后的家门前敲门。蚁后打开了门。蟋蟀告诉蚁后他已经五天没吃东西了。蚁后觉得很同情他,给了他一些食物。其他蚂蚁都嘲笑蟋蟀,说道:“如果你愚蠢到整个夏天都在唱歌,那么冬天你就只能饿着肚子睡觉了。”

【答案】6.C 7.B 8.D 9.A 10.D
【导语】本文是一篇寓言故事,讲述池塘里的鱼不听善良老鸭子的劝告,忽视渔夫即将来捕鱼的警告,最终被全部捕捉,故事告诫人们要听取他人的好建议。
6.第一段明确指出:“He often tells the fish, ‘It is dangerous if you never listen to others.’”,说明老鸭子常告诉鱼应该听别人的话。
7.第二段明确指出:“One afternoon, the duck is resting beside the pond when two fishermen stop there to drink water.”,说明鸭子看到渔夫时正在池塘边休息。
8.第三段明确指出:“Many fishermen are trying to catch us. They will never make it.”,说明鱼认为渔夫永远抓不到它们。
9.第一段提到“there is a kind old duck”,且鸭子多次提醒鱼危险,体现其善良。
10.本文讲述鱼因不听鸭子的好建议最终被捕捉,故事告诉我们要接受他人的好建议。
译文
在一个池塘里,住着许多鱼。它们从不听任何人的话。
池塘附近住着一只善良的老鸭子。他经常对鱼说:“如果你们从来不听别人的话,那是很危险的。”但鱼从来不听他的。
一天下午,鸭子正在池塘边休息,这时有两个渔夫停下来喝水。渔夫们看到池塘里有很多鱼。“看!这个池塘里全是鱼,”其中一个渔夫说。“我们明天带着渔网来这里吧。”鸭子听到了这一切。渔夫离开后,他迅速游进池塘,对鱼说:“你们所有人必须在明天早上之前离开这个池塘。那两个渔夫会来抓你们的。”
但鱼只是说:“很多渔夫都试图来抓我们。他们永远不会得逞的。鸭子先生,别为我们担心。”
第二天早上,渔夫们来到池塘。很快,他们就把所有的鱼都抓走了。鱼们哭喊道:“我们当初应该听鸭子先生的话。现在我们不得不用生命来付出代价。”

Passage 2
Sometimes we make mistakes because we judge (判断) a person too quickly. What you see or what you hear may not be the fact. Many small things in our life give us examples, they are small things, but they have important meanings. Here is a story about it.
A lovely little girl is holding two apples with both hands.
Her mum comes in and asks her little daughter with a smile, “My dear, could you give your mum one of your two apples?”
The girl looks up at her mum for a while. And then she takes a quick bite (咬) on one apple, and then quickly on the other.
The mum feels the smile on her face gets cold, but she tries hard not to look disappointed.
Then the little girl gives one of her apples to her mum, and says, “Mummy, here you are. This is the nicer one.”
We should keep quiet before getting angry. When we are quiet, we can know the real thing. Sometimes the real thing doesn’t come from what we see with our eyes or what we hear with our ears. We should learn to wait for others to show their real meaning. Waiting for a minute is useful. It is bad for everyone to get angry easily.

C.Because she doesn’t want to give them to her mother.
D.Because she wants to give the nicer one to her mother.
3.What should we do before getting angry according to the passage?
A.Speak loudly. B.Keep quiet and wait.
C.Leave quickly. D.Ask for the reason.
4.How does the writer show his/her idea in the passage?
A.By using facts. B.By listing numbers.
C.By telling a story. D.By answering questions.
Passage 3
In a forest lives a small squirrel named Zip. He has a fat tail and moves quickly, but he often feels sad. While his friends seem to have amazing skills, Zip believes he is “just so-so” because he is too small.
On a sunny morning, the forest animals get together for their yearly “Forest Olympics”. Zip sits quietly on a branch (树枝), watching the games. Zoom, the bear, is very strong. He can lift a huge rock. Fiona, the fox, is the fastest runner. She runs through the grass like orange lightning. Oliver, the owl (猫头鹰), is very clever, knowing everything about the forest.
“I wish I could be as strong as Zoom, or as fast as Fiona,” Zip thinks.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blows Zoom’s favourite hat onto a thin, high branch. Zoom tries to climb, but he is too heavy. Fiona tries to jump, but she cannot get the branch. Oliver tries to fly, but he cannot see well in the sun. All of them feel helpless.
“Let me try!” Zip cries. He is not strong or tall, but he is nimble (灵活的). He jumps to the shaking branch easily. With his small hands, he catches the hat and runs down safely.
“Thank you, Zip! ________”, Zoom gives Zip a warm hug. Zip dances happily. He finally sees that being small is not a bad thing. He learns that everyone is special and different, even the smallest animal can make a big difference.

A.Excited. B.Interested. C.Sad. D.Angry.
2.Who is smart according to paragraph 2?
A.Zip. B.Zoom. C.Fiona. D.Oliver.
