He now lives in South Korea and has just written an interesting book called Molly Makes a Mess. It’s about a girl who builds a robot to clean her room. We asked him to write about his adventure (奇遇) of making this book! Recently, I watched videos of AI learning to play Mario Kart (《马力欧卡丁车》). The karts drove everywhere but the track (轨道). Even a little kid could play better! It was funny but also made me think: What if a real robot learned like this? Someone could get hurt! That’s how Molly’s story began. After a month of writing, I had the first draft (初稿). Now what? I couldn’t draw, and I didn’t have the money to pay an artist. People said, “What about AI tools?” No way! I wanted the art to be art! My friend Joey used a website (网站) called Kickstarter to ask people to fund (资助) his book. I decided to give it a try. I messaged lots of people to help. If they did, they’d get a book later. That was the hardest part. I’m a writer, not a salesman (推销员)! With the money, another friend told me about a site to hire (聘请) artists. I looked through hundreds of artists and found Bachan. He brought my story to life, and now my book is on Amazon! Without friends, there would be no book. If your idea is good, don’t give up. 4．What is the second paragraph about? A．Why kids love playing Mario Kart. B．How robot cars usually learn to drive. C．Why the writer wanted to write a book. D．How the writer started to play Mario Kart. 5．According to the story, Bachan helped the author ________. A．draw pictures B．find an artist C．write his stories D．sell his book 6．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage? A．To show the importance of friends. B．To teach readers how to write books online. C．To introduce what his new book is about. D．To share his experience of making a book. 【答案】4．C 5．A 6．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了美国作家Daniel Daugherty创作《Molly Makes a Mess》一书的经历，包括灵感来源、筹资过程和艺术创作等。 4．主旨大意题。根据“Recently, I watched videos of AI learning to play Mario Kart… That’s how Molly’s story began.”可知，第二段的核心意图是引入写书的起因。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据“I looked through hundreds of artists and found Bachan. He brought my story to life…”可知，我浏览了数百位艺术家并找到了Bachan，他让我的故事变得生动。由此可知，Bachan帮助作者绘制插画。故选A。 6．主旨大意题。全文围绕作者写书的经历展开，包括灵感来源、筹资困难和艺术合作。因此作者的目的是分享成书过程。故选D。 C On a peaceful farm in ancient Greece lived a kind miller (磨坊主) named Agathon and his son Tebelis, who was known across the land as the laziest (最懒的) boy for sleeping all day long. One morning, Agathon said, “Son, I must visit a friend. Watch the mill and keep the cow turning the stone.” Tebelis answered sleepily, “Yes, Father,” The cow that turned the millstone soon grew tired and stopped. “Well,” Tebelis smiled, “I suppose that’s enough work for one day.” He lay down and fell asleep. Suddenly, someone woke him, “You there, boy!” Tebelis opened his eyes, “Who are you, sir?” “I am Alexander, King of Greece. My men need flour (面粉). You must mill this grain (谷物) by next week.” There were so many baskets that the ground became a sea of grain. Tebelis cried, “But our cow is ill! It’s impossible (不可能的)!” The king answered, “You will find a way.” When Tebelis returned, he told his father everything. “Father, what can we do?” Agathon encouraged his son. “We must not give up. Let’s work together.” But it was backbreaking work. They pushed the big millstone till late at night. Tebelis’s arms felt bad. and he was tired. Still, they only finished one basket. That night, Tebelis dreamed of a rushing river pushing upon his hand. He woke up and ran to his father. “Father, we can use water to turn the millstone. We can build a watermill!” Agathon was not sure but said, “I will help you.” Together, they cut trees, built a large wheel (轮子), and set it up in the water. With the millstone fixed, they watched as the water began to turn the wheel. Nothing happened at first Then, slowly, the millstone began to turn. It turned faster and faster. Tebelis jumped with joy. “It works.” In just a few days, all the king’s flour was ready. When the men returned, they were amazed. King Alexander himself came to see the invention. “They call you Tebelis,” the king said, “but that name no longer fits. I have a new name for you: Nestor, ‘the wise one’.” Nestor smiled. 7．Why did Tebelis think it was an impossible task at first? A．Because he didn’t know how to use the mill. B．Because his father told him not to help the king. C．Because he was very sleepy, he couldn’t understand the king’s words. D．Because the cow was ill and there was too much grain. 8．What does the underlined word “backbreaking” in Paragraph 11 mean? A．Not easy. B．Quite easy. C．Too important. D．Very exciting. 9．What can you infer (推断) about the name “Tebelis”? A．It was a name given to him by the king. B．It was a common name for millers’ sons. C．It predicted his future as a wise inventor. D．It matched his character at the start of the story. 【答案】7．D 8．A 9．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了古希腊磨坊主之子Tebelis原本是个整日昏睡的懒惰男孩，在接到国王的紧急磨面任务后，与父亲合作发明水磨完成任务，最终被国王赐名“智者Nestor”的故事，展现了他从懒惰到聪慧的成长转变。 7．第六段第4句“There were so many baskets that the ground became a sea of grain.”，第七段第1句“Tebelis cried, ‘But our cow is ill! It’s impossible (不可能的)!’”，可知Tebelis认为任务不可能完成的原因是负责拉磨的奶牛生病了，且需要磨的谷物数量极多。 8．第十一段第2-4句“They pushed the big millstone till late at night. Tebelis’s arms felt bad, and he was tired. Still, they only finished one basket.”，描述了他们推磨盘到深夜、手臂酸痛疲惫却仅完成少量工作的状态，说明这份工作非常辛苦费力，“backbreaking”意为“极费力的、辛苦的”，与选项A“Not easy”意思一致。 9．第一段第1句“On a peaceful farm in ancient Greece lived a kind miller (磨坊主) named Agathon and his son Tebelis, who was known across the land as the laziest (最懒的) boy for sleeping all day long.”，最后一段第1句国王说“They call you Tebelis, but that name no longer fits. I have a new name for you: Nestor, ‘the wise one’.”，可知“Tebelis”这个名字在故事开头与他懒惰的性格特征相符，而他成长为聪慧的人后，这个名字就不再适合他了。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。 It’s April 23rd today. 10 Look!

Though I closed the book, I 15 not stop thinking about the exciting story. The book was 16 of magic, but the warmest part was Charlie’s happy family. Charlie lived in a small house at the side of a town. His family was very poor. His four old grandparents shared 17 only bed in their home. The family hardly had enough food and always 18 simple cabbage soup for dinner. Cold wind blew through their house all winter long. 19 I was deeply surprised that the family stayed happily together. They never 20 hope and loved each other. Every evening, Charlie sat with his grandparents and listened to 21 interesting stories. His parents always joined them. The little room was filled with joy, and they forgot their hungr and hard life. This moved me a lot. Some people think happiness comes from money and nice things. But in fact, 22 is the key. Oscar Wilde once said, “Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden.” There are 23 reasons to be happy, but love is the most important. We need love 24 us, change us and bring us a happy life. Let’s fill our lives with love and enjoy every beautiful moment. 15．A．need B．could C．should 16．A．full B．short C．afraid 17．A．a B．an C．the 18．A．bought B．ate C．planted 19．A．So B．Or C．But 20．A．gave up B．gave out C．gave away 21．A．his B．their C．her 22．A．treasure B．health C．love 23．A．too many B．too much C．much too 24．A．to beat B．to warm C．to lose 【答案】 15．B 16．A 17．C 18．B 19．C 20．A 21．B 22．C 23．A 24．B 【导语】本文是一篇读后感。作者读完《查理和巧克力工厂》，讲述查理一家清贫艰苦却充满爱意的生活，并从中感悟：金钱不是幸福的根源，爱才是生活最重要的宝藏。 【详解】15．句意：虽然我合上书，却忍不住回想这个精彩的故事。 根据“Though I closed the book, I… not stop thinking about the exciting story”可知，此处表达can't stop doing“忍不住、禁不住做某事”could是can的过去式，符合语境。need需要，should应该，都没有“忍不住、没法停下”的语气。 16．句意：这本书充满了魔幻色彩。 根据“The book was… of magic”可知，此处需填固定短语be full of充满。short 构成 be short of 缺少，afraid构成be afraid of害怕，都和“充满魔力”句意不符。 17．句意：他四位年迈的祖父母在家里共用仅有的一张床。 根据“shared…only bed in their home”可知，only 修饰名词时，前面必须用the表特指“唯一的那张床”。 a和an只能泛指普通一张床，不能搭配only表示“仅有的、唯一的” 含义。 18．句意：家里几乎没有足够的食物，晚餐总是喝简单的白菜汤。 根据“always … simple cabbage soup for dinner”可知，语境是晚餐吃、喝白菜汤。bought购买，planted种植，都和日常晚餐喝汤的生活场景不匹配。 19．句意：但令我深感意外的是，这个家庭依然幸福地生活在一起。 根据前文写家境贫寒、房屋破旧、食物短缺，后文却说一家人依旧幸福相伴，前后语义转折，But符合语境。So表因果，Or 表选择或否则，都体现不出转折关系。 20．句意：他们从不放弃希望，彼此相亲相爱。 根据“They never… hope and loved each other”可知，gave up搭配hope表示“放弃希望”，符合语境。gave out分发、耗尽，gave away赠送、泄露，都不能和 hope 搭配表达文意。 21．句意：每天晚上查理坐在祖父母身边，听他们讲有趣的故事。 根据“Charlie sat with his grandparents and listened to… interesting stories”可知，修饰名词stories，指代祖父母的，用物主代词their符合语境。his指代男性他的，her指代女性她的，指代对象都不对。 22．句意：但事实上，爱才是幸福的关键。 根据后文“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden”可知，全文主旨强调爱才是幸福的核心。treasure财富，health健康，都和文章表达的主旨不契合。 23．句意：让人快乐的理由有很多，但爱是最重要的。 根据“There are…reasons to be happy”可知，reasons是可数名词复数，too many修饰可数名词复数，符合语境。too much只能修饰不可数名词，much too后接形容词或副词，语法用法不合适。 24．句意：我们需要爱来温暖我们、改变我们、带给我们幸福生活。 根据“We need love…us, change us and bring us a happy life”可知，爱能温暖人心、治愈生活。to beat打败；to lose失去，都和爱带给人的意义相反。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Once upon a time, there was a fast hare. He was very proud of his speed. One day, he saw a slow tortoise (乌龟). The hare laughed 25 him and said, “You are so slow! You can never run fast.” The tortoise was angry and said, “I am slow? Shall we have a race now? I 26 (beat) you.” All the animals around came to watch the race. The race 27 (begin). The hare ran very quickly. Soon he was far ahead.

Finally, the tortoise won the race. All the 34 (animal) felt excited and showed their congratulations (祝贺) to the tortoise. 【答案】 25．at 26．will beat 27．began 28．the 29．relax 30．slowly 31．Where 32．to catch 33．Though/Although 34．animals 【导语】本文讲述了骄傲的兔子和坚持不懈的乌龟赛跑，最终乌龟获胜的过程。 25．句意：兔子嘲笑他说：“你太慢了！你永远跑不快。”laugh at sb“嘲笑某人”，为固定短语。 26．句意：乌龟生气地说：“我慢？我们现在来场比赛吧？我会打败你的。”此处是对未来比赛结果的预判，用一般将来时will beat。 27．句意：比赛开始了。整个故事发生在过去，用一般过去时，begin的过去式为began。 28．句意：他回头一看，发现乌龟被远远地甩在后面。此处特指前文提到的那只乌龟，用定冠词the。 29．句意：我可以在树下休息一会儿。can是情态动词，后跟动词原形。 30．句意：与此同时，乌龟缓慢而谨慎地向前爬着。空处修饰动词walking，需用副词形式。 31．句意：我现在在哪里？“The hare looked around”表明兔子在疑惑自己的位置，用疑问词Where，句首首字母大写。 32．句意：他很难追上乌龟，因为他已经快到终点线了。此处是固定句型“It was+形容词+for sb to do sth”，表示“做某事对某人来说是……的”，空处用不定式作主语。 33．句意：尽管兔子跑得飞快，他还是输了。前后句是让步关系，用Though/Although引导让步状语从句，句首首字母要大写。 34．句意：所有的动物都很兴奋，向乌龟表示祝贺。All后接可数名词复数，animal的复数形式为animals。 第四部分 读写综合（共两节，满分25分） 第一节 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 One day, a young boy named Zhang Liang was walking along a bridge.
