Once upon a time, there was a very old man called Yu Gong. He was nearly 90 years old. There were two m 1 in front of his house. One was Taihang Mountain, the other was Wangwu Mountain. The two high mountains blocked the way, so the villagers (村民) c 2 go out for thousands of years. One day, he called his family together and said, “Those two mountains are too much in the w 3 . Let’s move them away.” His wife said angrily, “Are you crazy? H 4 can we move them?” “Don’t w 5 , we can move them to the seaside.” said Yu Gong. And he said they could put stones into the sea. So they all started digging (挖) and m 6 stones the next day.
One day, a man named Zhi Sou saw Yu Gong and his children moving the mountains. He told Yu Gong that they could never do it b 7 he was old and weak. As soon as the man finished talking, Yu Gong answered, “Though (虽然) I will die soon, I have sons. When my sons die, there are still grandsons. My family would live and grow, but the mountains could not get bigger. If we work without s 8 every day, why can’t we move away the mountains?” Zhi Sou had no more to say.
Yu Gong and his family went on digging f 9 early morning to night. Finally, the emperor of the heaven (天帝) was touched (感动) and s 10 two gods (神) to move away these two mountains.

Barrymore could not find the words to thank Sir Henry enough. Then he said, “You have been so kind to us that I want to do something for you in return. I have never told anyone else. I know something more about poor Sir Charles’s death.”
Sir Henry and I jumped up at once. “Do you know how he died?” Sir Henry asked.
“No, sir. I don’t know that, but I know why he was waiting at the gate. He was going to meet a woman.” “Sir Charles was meeting a woman? Who was the woman?”
“I don’t know her name,” Barrymore said, “but it begins with L.L.”
“How do you know this, Barrymore?” I asked. “Well, Sir Charles got a letter on the morning of the day he died. It was from Newton, and the address was in a woman’s writing. I forgot all about it, but some time after Sir Charles died, my wife was cleaning the fireplace in his study. She found a letter. Most of it was burned, but the bottom of one page was not burned. On it was written: ‘Please, please, burn this letter, and be at the gate by ten o’clock. L.L.’ The paper fell into pieces as my wife went to move it. We don’t know who L.L. is, but if you could find out, you might learn more about Sir Charles’s death. We haven’t told anyone else. We felt it would not be good for poor, kind Sir Charles. But we thought we ought to tell you, Sir Henry.”
Barrymore left us and Sir Henry turned to me. “If we can find L.L., the mystery may be at an end,” he said. “What do you think we should do, Watson?”
“I must write to Holmes at once,” I said, and I went straight to my room and wrote a letter to Holmes, which gave him all the details of Barrymore’s story.

“What do you mean by ‘at first’, child? ” he asked.
“When Father first took me to the school from India. ”
“Where is your father? ” said Mr. Carmichael.
“He died,” said Sara very quietly. “His friend ran away with all his money, and there was no money for me. There was nobody to take care of me. So Miss Minchin put me in the attic (阁楼) and said I must work for my bread.”
Tom Carrisford moved in his chair. “What—what was your father’s name? ” he said. “Tell me. ”
Sara looked at him sadly. “Ralph Crewe, ” she said. “He died in India from a fever, two years ago. ”
Tom Carrisford’s face went very white. “Carmichael,” he whispered, “It is the child—the child! ”
That was an exciting day for many people. At first poor Sara did not understand. But Mr. Carmichael talked to her quietly and told her everything—the true story about her father’s friend and the diamond mines, and the two years of looking for Ralph Crewe’s daughter.
“And all the time,” she said later to Tom Carrisford, when they sat by his fire, “I was in the house next door.” Tom Carrisford took her hand. “Yes,” he said. “And you’re never going back there. Your home is with me now. I’m going to take care of Ralph’s Little Missus. ”
Sara laughed, happily. “And you were the friend, too. All those beautiful things in my attic came from you—you and Ram Dass. Becky and I thought it was magic! ”
Tom Carrisford smiled at her. “I was sorry for you,” he said. “Ram Dass can move very quietly, and he carried the things across the roof when you were out. I couldn’t find Ralph’s daughter, but I wanted to help somebody. And then Ram Dass told me about this sad, lonely little servant-girl in the attic next door.”
And so the story ended happily for everybody—but not for Miss Minchin. Sara was very rich now, and Miss Minchin wanted her to come back to the school. She came to see Mr. Carrisford, but he said some very angry things to her, and she went away with a red face.

Let’s move them away.” His wife said angrily, “Are you crazy? H 4 can we move them?” “Don’t w 5 , we can move them to the seaside.” said Yu Gong. And he said they could put stones into the sea. So they all started digging (挖) and m 6 stones the next day.
One day, a man named Zhi Sou saw Yu Gong and his children moving the mountains. He told Yu Gong that they could never do it b 7 he was old and weak.

It has enough time to enjoy the flowers and the sunshine. It can even 4 with the birds and the butterflies along the way. It finds lots of different pieces, but none of them 5 . It tries its best to test each one, but it still can’t find the perfect fit. 6 it leaves them all by the side of the road and keeps looking for its right piece.
Then one morning the circle finds a piece and the piece fits it well. The circle puts the piece into its body. Now it is a whole circle with nothing lost. It is so happy and begins to roll. It can roll very fast, but it rolls so fast that it can’t see the flowers or say hello to the birds and the butterflies. The world is quite 7 when it rolls so quickly! It misses those lovely little things along the way. It feels very 8 and it stops. It decides to 9 the piece by the side of the road.

【导语】本文讲述了一个圆丢失了一块,寻找过程中享受了慢生活,找回后却因太快错过美景,最终选择放弃的故事。
1.句意:它想变回完整的,所以它到处滚动寻找丢失的碎片。
前文提到圆丢失了一块,因此它想变回完整的,whole符合语境。small“小的”、rich“富有的”、lazy“懒惰的”均不符合语境。
2.句意:所以它到处滚动寻找丢失的碎片。
呼应前文“loses a piece of its own”,因此寻找的是piece“碎片”。pair“一双”、half“一半”、size“尺寸”均不符合。
3.句意:因为它不再是一个完整的圆,所以它不能快速滚动。
圆缺了一块后,滚动速度会变慢,因此无法quickly“快速地”滚动。slowly“缓慢地”、carefully“小心地”、suddenly“突然地”均不符合语境。
4.句意:它甚至能在路上和鸟儿、蝴蝶聊天。
因为滚动慢了,圆有时间停下来和其他事物互动,因此能chat“聊天”。help“帮助”、agree“同意”、fight“打架”均不符合语境。
5.句意:它找到了很多不同的碎片,但没有一个适合它。
圆在寻找合适的碎片,suits“适合”符合语境。matches“匹配” (常指事物间的搭配)、stops“停止”、mixes“混合”均不符合语境。
6.句意:所以它把它们都留在路边,继续寻找合适的碎片。
前文提到没有合适的碎片,因此结果是把碎片留下,用So“所以”表示因果关系。But“但是”、When“当……时候”、If“如果”均不符合逻辑。
7.句意:当它滚得这么快时,世界变得完全不同了!
完整的圆滚动速度很快,无法欣赏沿途风景,因此世界对它来说是different“不同的”。huge“巨大的”、same“相同的”、small“小的”均不符合语境。
8.句意:它错过了沿途那些可爱的小事,感到非常难过,于是停了下来。
因为滚动太快,错过了沿途的风景,因此感到sad“难过的”。happy“开心的”、cool“酷的”、afraid“害怕的”均不符合语境。
9.句意:它决定把碎片留在路边。
圆意识到完整的自己失去了很多美好,因此决定把碎片leave“留下”在路边。keep“保留”、take“带走”、carry“携带”均不符合语境。
10.句意:有时候我们不必为失去的东西担心。
全文主旨是失去也可能带来美好,因此不必为失去的东西worry“担心”。hear“听见”、speak“说”、forget“忘记”均不符合语境。

When Dorothy woke up, she did not know how much later it was. The house was on the ground and it was in a field full of flowers. There were hundreds of beautifully colored birds flying about and singing. Not far away there was a stream with clear, fresh water.

When they saw Dorothy, they walked up to her and bowed (鞠躬).
“Welcome to the land of the Munchkins,” one of the little men said. “We thank you for killing the Wicked Witch of the East. Now our people are free.”
“I’m afraid you are making a mistake (错误),” Dorothy said. “I didn’t kill any witch.”

1.根据第二段中“She was surprised to see three little men and a little woman walking toward her.”可知,她看到三个小矮男人和一个小矮女人。
2.根据第五段“We thank you for killing the Wicked Witch of the East.”以及第八段小矮男人说“Your house did.”可知,是她的房子帮助杀死了东方恶女巫。

Wilbur is a fat and strong pig. He and other animals live in Mr. Zuckerman’s farm. He has a good friend called Charlotte. Charlotte is a spider (蜘蛛) and she is very good at spinning webs. Days ago, the old sheep told Wilbur that Mr. Zuckerman would kill him for Christmas dinner. Wilbur was afraid, but Charlotte said she would help him.
Charlotte spent days and nights writing the nice words about the pig Wilbur on her webs. They were excellent, humble, some pig and so on.

Wilbur isn’t afraid any more. He comes to tell Charlotte the good news. “Do you feel happy for me, Charlotte?” Charlotte answers, “Sure, my friend.”
“Thank you so much, Charlotte. You make me a great pig, but you look so tired. What’s the matter?” Wilbur asks.
Charlotte thinks for a minute and says, “Wilbur, I’m too tired. I’m afraid I’m going to die. I’m leaving you...” Wilbur begins crying. “Don’t be sad, Wilbur! I’m just a spider. I’m nobody. But by helping you, my life is valuable. Thank you!” Wilbur says in a sad voice. “What can I do, Charlotte? I would like to give you my life. I really would.” Charlotte smiles and says, “I believe in you. Look at the egg sac. There are 540 eggs in it. That means I can have 540 children. You can look after them well, right?”

【导语】本文讲述小猪威尔伯面临被宰杀的命运,蜘蛛夏洛特用蛛网写字救了他,两人结下深厚友谊,夏洛特生命尽头托付孩子给威尔伯,展现了深厚的友谊与承诺。
1.第二段“Charlotte...writing the nice words about the pig Wilbur on her webs. They were excellent, humble, some pig and so on.”,后句的excellent,humble对应前句的nice words,所以这里的they指代前句的“nice words (赞美之词)”。
2.倒数第二段“‘But by helping you, my life is valuable. Thank you!’”,帮助Wilbur让Charlotte的生命变得有价值,所以她对Wilbur说谢谢。
3.第一段最后一句“Wilbur was afraid...”;第四段“Wilbur isn’t afraid any more...‘Do you feel happy for me, Charlotte?’”;倒数第二段“‘Don’t be sad, Wilbur!...’”,由此可看出Wilbur的感受为“害怕——高兴——伤心”。

Barrymore could not find the words to thank Sir Henry enough. Then he said, “You have been so kind to us that I want to do something for you in return. I have never told anyone else. I know something more about poor Sir Charles’s death.”
Sir Henry and I jumped up at once. “Do you know how he died?” Sir Henry asked.
“No, sir. I don’t know that, but I know why he was waiting at the gate. He was going to meet a woman.” “Sir Charles was meeting a woman? Who was the woman?”
“I don’t know her name,” Barrymore said, “but it begins with L.L.”
“How do you know this, Barrymore?” I asked. “Well, Sir Charles got a letter on the morning of the day he died. It was from Newton, and the address was in a woman’s writing. I forgot all about it, but some time after Sir Charles died, my wife was cleaning the fireplace in his study. She found a letter. Most of it was burned, but the bottom of one page was not burned. On it was written: ‘Please, please, burn this letter, and be at the gate by ten o’clock. L.L.’ The paper fell into pieces as my wife went to move it. We don’t know who L.L. is, but if you could find out, you might learn more about Sir Charles’s death. We haven’t told anyone else. We felt it would not be good for poor, kind Sir Charles. But we thought we ought to tell you, Sir Henry.”
Barrymore left us and Sir Henry turned to me. “If we can find L.L., the mystery may be at an end,” he said. “What do you think we should do, Watson?”
“I must write to Holmes at once,” I said, and I went straight to my room and wrote a letter to Holmes, which gave him all the details of Barrymore’s story.

1.根据第一段第1句Barrymore所说“You have been so kind to us that I want to do something for you in return.”,可知Barrymore告诉Henry相关事情是为了回报Henry对他的善意。
2.根据第五段第2句Barrymore所说“but some time after Sir Charles died, my wife was cleaning the fireplace in his study. She found a letter.”,可知最先发现信件的是Barrymore的妻子,即Mrs.Barrymore。
3.梳理事件发展顺序:②根据第五段第2句“Well, Sir Charles got a letter on the morning of the day he died.”,这是事件的开端。 ③根据第五段第6句“Most of it was burned, but the bottom of one page was not burned.”,这是信件被发现后的状态。 ④根据第五段第8句“The paper fell into pieces as my wife went to move it.”,这是信件被挪动后的结果。 ①根据第三段第1句“No, sir. I don’t know that, but I know why he was waiting at the gate. He was going to meet a woman.”,这是巴里莫尔向亨利和华生说明情况。 ⑤根据第七段第1句“I must write to Holmes at once,” I said, and I went straight to my room and wrote a letter to Holmes, which gave him all the details of Barrymore’s story.”,这是事件的结尾。 因此正确顺序为②③④①⑤。
“What do you mean by ‘at first’, child? ” he asked.
“When Father first took me to the school from India. ”
“Where is your father? ” said Mr. Carmichael.
“He died,” said Sara very quietly. “His friend ran away with all his money, and there was no money for me. There was nobody to take care of me. So Miss Minchin put me in the attic (阁楼) and said I must work for my bread.”
Tom Carrisford moved in his chair. “What—what was your father’s name? ” he said. “Tell me. ”
Sara looked at him sadly. “Ralph Crewe, ” she said. “He died in India from a fever, two years ago. ”
Tom Carrisford’s face went very white. “Carmichael,” he whispered, “It is the child—the child! ”
That was an exciting day for many people. At first poor Sara did not understand. But Mr. Carmichael talked to her quietly and told her everything—the true story about her father’s friend and the diamond mines, and the two years of looking for Ralph Crewe’s daughter.
“And all the time,” she said later to Tom Carrisford, when they sat by his fire, “I was in the house next door.” Tom Carrisford took her hand. “Yes,” he said. “And you’re never going back there. Your home is with me now. I’m going to take care of Ralph’s Little Missus. ”
Sara laughed, happily. “And you were the friend, too. All those beautiful things in my attic came from you—you and Ram Dass. Becky and I thought it was magic! ”
Tom Carrisford smiled at her. “I was sorry for you,” he said. “Ram Dass can move very quietly, and he carried the things across the roof when you were out. I couldn’t find Ralph’s daughter, but I wanted to help somebody. And then Ram Dass told me about this sad, lonely little servant-girl in the attic next door.”
And so the story ended happily for everybody—but not for Miss Minchin. Sara was very rich now, and Miss Minchin wanted her to come back to the school. She came to see Mr. Carrisford, but he said some very angry things to her, and she went away with a red face.
—Adapted from The Little Princess
1.Who asked Sara to live in the attic?
A.Miss Minchin B.Mr Carmichael
C.Tom Carrisford D.Ram Dass
2.Which is the right order of the following events about Sara?
①Sara’s father died from fever.
②Miss Minchin wanted Sara to come back to the school.
③Ralph Crewe took his daughter Sara to the school from India.
④Tom Carrisford, her father's friend found Sara and said he would look after her.
A.①③②④ B.③①④② C.②①③④ D.④②①③
3.Why did Tom Carrisford ask Ram Dass to carry things to Sara at first?
A.Because Sara lived next to the Indian gentleman.
B.Because Sara was a sad, lonely little servant-girl.
C.Because he knew Sara was Ralph Crewe’s daughter.
D.Because Tom Carrisford wanted to help somebody in need.
4.From the passage, we can infer that __________.
A.Sara will live alone. B.Sara will go back to the school.
C.Sara will live with Miss Minchin. D.Sara will live with Tom Carrisford.
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.D 4.D
【导语】本文节选自小说《小公主》。
1.细节理解题。根据“So Miss Minchin put me in the attic...”可知,Minchin小姐把我安置在阁楼里。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据“When Father first took me to the school from India”可知,当父亲第一次带我从印度来学校时,这是事件的起点。根据文本中Sara说“He died in India from a fever, two years ago”可知,Sara的父亲两年前在印度死于发烧,发生在父亲带她到学校之后。文本中Tom认出Sara后,说“I’m going to take care of Ralph’s Little Missus”(我会照顾Ralph的小小姐),发生在相认后。文本结尾提到“Sara was very rich now, and Miss Minchin wanted her to come back to the school”可知,Sara现在很富有,Minchin小姐想让她回学校,这发生在所有事件之后。因此,正确顺序是③→①→④→②。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据“I couldn’t find Ralph’s daughter, but I wanted to help somebody. And then Ram Dass told me about this sad, lonely little servant-girl in the attic next door”可知,他起初并不知道萨拉是好友的女儿,只是单纯想帮助有困难的人,所以让Ram送东西。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据“Your home is with me now. I’m going to take care of Ralph’s Little Missus”可知,Tom Carrisford明确对Sara承诺:现在这里就是你的家了。我会照顾拉尔夫的小小姐。推断可知Sara将会与Tom Carrisford一起居住。故选D。

五、任务型阅读
根据短文内容,回答问题。(每小题答案不超过10个词)
In the South China Sea, there is a group of Jiaoren, or Chinese mermaids, whose tears become pearls (珍珠) after they fall. To the north of Kunlun Mountains, there is a monster called Xiangliu, which has nine heads with human faces but the body of a snake. These magic creatures are from the ancient book of mythical (神话的) legends Shan Hai Jing.
Shan Hai Jing, also known as The Classic of Mountains and Seas, is said to be at least 2,200 years old. It is about the culture and geography of China before the Qin dynasty. It has 31,000 words, more or less. The whole collection includes eighteen parts, talking about more than 550 mountains and 300 seas. It also tells many interesting stories and describes lots of mythical creatures.
A famous story in the book is about Zhu Rong, the God of Fire. He is described as having a beast-like body and a human face, riding around the sky on two dragons. When he had a big fight with Gong Gong, the God of Water, Zhu Rong won. But after the fight, the human world came into complete darkness. Then he brought fire from heaven to the world and taught humans how to use it.
Although it’s not clear who wrote it, Shan Hai Jing is an important ancient book in the pre-Qin period of China and considered one of the treasures of Chinese culture. The stories in the book are now being spread from one generation to another in China. The book has inspired many people like Lu Xun and JK Rowling.
