During one of his voyages, his ship meets a terrible storm and is wrecked. Gulliver is the only survivor and swims to a strange island. When he wakes up, he finds himself tied to the ground by many tiny ropes. He soon discovers he is in the land of Lilliput, where the people are only about six inches tall! The Lilliputians are initially afraid of this “giant,” but they soon realize Gulliver is friendly. He learns their language and helps them in their war against a nearby island by stealing the enemy’s ships. Later, Gulliver travels to other strange lands. In one place, he meets the Houyhnhnms, who are intelligent horses that can talk. They are the masters of the land, while the ugly, human-like creatures called Yahoos are their servants. The Houyhnhnms live a simple and peaceful life, and they are shocked by Gulliver’s stories about war and human society. Gulliver’s Travels is more than just an adventure story.

I was a little worried because I knew how much my 12-year-old son wanted to make the team. I read the list of 13 names for a few minutes. Finally, I had to tell myself that my son wasn’t on the list. I felt sad. I wished it would be about victory. Like every parent, I love to say, “You did it!” Instead, I had to give my son a speech to comfort him, which was a lot less exciting, but probably more important. It was not really a speech, but a further discussion about spirit, courage and not giving up. Although it was painful for me to see my son so disappointed (失望), I needed to keep my own feelings in check. Sure, I wanted to call the coach to say he made a big mistake, but I would not. Nor would I let my son know that I thought it unfair. Instead, I put my own feelings aside and let my son have a safe place to calm down. And when he was done, I needed to encourage him to continue to improve skills. That day was a loss, but the only way to get another win was to put on his trainers and get on the basketball court again. My son is 15 years old now. And, after being cut from the team for three years in a row (连续地), he got to see his name on the list for the high school team. Last week, my husband and I watched him play in his first game. The smile on his face when he made his first shot is something I will never forget. After so many failures, it was a win that didn’t come easy for him. And it wouldn’t have happened if he had given up trying. 1．Why did the writer feel sad at first? A．Because her son didn’t feel confident. B．Because her son didn’t make the basketball team. C．Because her son decided to stop playing basketball. D．Because her son failed in a few basketball matches. 2．What does the underlined part “keep my own feelings in check” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Hide my own feeling. B．Hurt my own feeling. C．Follow my own feeling. D．Show my own feeling. 3．What did the mother do after her son failed to make the team? A．She called the coach to complain.

She didn’t like it at first: the “novice artists”—the kids who hadn’t really done art before—worked mostly with clay, and Kelly was a terrible sculptor (雕塑家). It wasn’t until her third year that Kelly found something she was really good at—charcoal drawing (素描). She loved watching the lines spread unevenly across the page as she moved the bits of charcoal back and forth over the paper. One day, Sophia, the best artist in her class, sat down and set up her easel (画架) next to Kelly. Kelly felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. She’d actually found an art form that she enjoyed—and was good at—and now Sophia was going to outshine her again? Kelly fought back tears when Miss Grace entered the room. “Hello class,” Miss Grace said. “We’ll continue to work on the project today.” What masterpiece would Sophia have come up with? Kelly looked at Sophia’s easel and she couldn’t believe it—it was a mess! For a short moment, Kelly couldn’t actually believe her drawing was better than Sophia’s. But then she looked at Sophia, who was watching Kelly with an anxious expression. “I... I couldn’t decide what to do,” Sophia said. “And you’re so good. Sometimes I feel like my work is just so bad in comparison.” Kelly looked to see if Sophia was joking, but she seemed completely serious. Now Kelly was surprised. “I’m not talented... Miss Grace seldom praises me. You’re the best one in our class.” Sophia raised her eyebrows. “I might be a really good copier of the works, but I have no idea what to do when it comes to making up my own images. You are so great at making new things out of the old works. I’ve loved your works.” “I’ve loved yours, too,” Kelly said. “Well, definitely not this one,” Sophia said. Kelly smiled. “Maybe not right now. But if you move these lines up...” she said, pointing her finger on Sophia’s paper. Sophia was quiet for a moment. “That’s a great idea!” she said finally. Kelly smiled and turned back to her drawing, looking every so often at Sophia’s work to see that she was taking her advice, down to the last line. 1．What does the underlined word “outshine” mean in this story?

Every Saturday evening growing up, my family and I gathered around my grandmother’s long dining table for delicious homemade food. There were loud conversations and games with my aunts, uncles, and cousins. I loved these nights. It was always special to spend the night at my grandmother’s house after one of these gatherings. I would stay there alone, without any of my three cousins. My grandmother would pay no attention to the mess. She set up a bed for me on the floor of her bedroom. Both of us read until our eyes wouldn’t stay open any longer. The next morning, we woke up, ate bread, and got to work. She would spend the morning cleaning after each family party the night before. Some of my earliest memories include her rolling out the big vacuum cleaner (吸尘器) down the long hall. She’d do the dishes while I got to clean the table. And we’d flatten the cans together. As I’ve entered my thirties and begun hosting friends of my own, I have adopted my grandmother’s cleaning method. I’ll never clean the night of the party. My mind deeply refuses it—only allowing a pile of dirty dishes to sit next to the sink (洗涤槽) after I’ve said goodbye to my guests and locked the gate. Then I go to bed with my partner and our cats, and we lose ourselves in the night of nice talks, close moments, and joy. On Sunday mornings, I roll out the vacuum cleaner, do the dishes, and play some music. It’s relaxing. This is the type of cleaning that’s just for me—the kind meant to settle and absorb (吸收) the conversations and events of the night. I’m confident it strengthens the memories of the good times, too. A little more partying first and cleaning later. I advise you to try it sometime. 1．What was special to the writer when she was young? A．Playing games with her cousins. B．Eating with her whole family. C．Spending the night at her grandma’s. D．Going home without her cousins. 2．What is the writer’s grandmother’s cleaning method? A．Leaving cleaning to the next day. B．Doing the cleaning with partners. C．Listening to music while cleaning. D．Cleaning up after the guests leave. 3．What can we infer (推断) about the writer’s cleaning after parties now? A．It is often done with her guests’ help. B．It makes her feel stressed about the mess. C．It takes her much longer than her grandmother’s. D．It helps her think of the happy time from the party. 4．Which of the following best shows the main idea of the passage? A．Childhood memories with family are the most valuable treasures in one’s life. B．Cleaning the day after a party is more relaxing than cleaning on party night. C．Hosting friends at home can create happy moments and strengthen relationships. D．A loved one’s daily habit may be passed down, becoming meaningful for you. Mr. Dance and the other government men left. “Do you know anything about this Captain Flint?” the doctor asked the squire. “Oh, yes,” the squire said. “I was on a ship that he attacked. He is a dangerous pirate (海盗). He killed many men and stole their treasure.” “Perhaps then,” the doctor said, “he buried the stolen treasure. And perhaps these papers will tell us where it is.” “If they do,” the squire said, “then the three of us will go to Bristol. I can get a ship there to take us to look for it.” The doctor took a book and a map out of the piece of cloth. The squire studied the book. “This book has the names of all the ships Captain Flint attacked and how much money he stole from them. He died a rich man. Now let me see the map.” The doctor handed it to the squire. The map was of an island about twelve kilometers long and eight kilometers wide. There was a hill in the middle. On the hill were the words “The Spy-Glass.” There were three crosses in red ink: two in the north of the island and one in the south-west. Next to the last cross were the words, “Most of the treasure here.” On the back of the paper were the words, “Tall tree Look through Spy-Glass to a point north of north, north east. Skeleton Island east, south east by east.” There were more words that I did not understand, but the squire knew what they meant. He said to the doctor, “This is all the information we need. We will go to this island. You will come as the ship’s doctor, and Jim shall be the cabin boy.” “Very well, Trelawney,” the doctor said, “but there is one man I am afraid of.” “Oh? And who is that, sir?” the squire wanted to know. “You, sir,” the doctor said. “You don’t know how to keep a secret. There will be men who will do anything to get this map. You must tell no one that we have it.” “I promise,” the squire said. “You have my word.” 1．What can we know about Captain Flint? A．He helped find some treasure.

A．might give up the treasure hunt halfway B．couldn’t control the ship towards Bristol C．might tell others about the map carelessly D．couldn’t understand the words on the map I felt so guilty that I could not sleep. My creation of life had been a terrible mistake. Not only Justine but also my youngest brother died because of the monster. I was to blame for both deaths. I had created the monster that was the murderer (凶手). And the creature was still out there somewhere. My father became very ill. Grief (悲哀) at the deaths of William and Justine overcame him. I, too, was in pain. Many times I thought about killing myself as I sailed alone each day on the lake. Elizabeth, seeing how unhappy I was, tried to help me. “You have friends who love you, Victor,” she said. “Try not to be so sad.” The time came when I could not stay at home any longer. I had to get away. I decided to ride into the hills. Ahead of me was snow-covered Mont Blanc. After many days, I arrived at a mountain village. Very tired after many days’ traveling, I was at last able to sleep. The next day, feeling much stronger, I decided to climb to the top of the mountain with my horse. There was heavy wind and rain, but I did not care. I began my climb without a guide. It was nearly midday when I arrived at the top of the mountain. For some time I stood there looking at the sea of ice. Then I began to cross it. The journey, which was very difficult, took me two hours. Suddenly, a man ran out of the mist toward me. It was the monster I had created. “You want to kill me,” he said. “You want to kill that which you have created. You have no right to do so. Leave me in peace, or one by one I shall kill everyone you love.” I was so angry that I leapt at him, wanting to kill him there and then, but he easily stepped aside, and I fell to the ground. —Taken from Frankenstein 1．Who is Elizabeth?

D．The sea of ice The Marionette, Pinocchio, cried he wanted a new pair of feet. But Geppetto, to punish him for his mischief (淘气), let him alone the whole morning. After dinner, he said to him, “Why should I make your feet over again? To see you run away from home once more?” “I promise you,” answered the Marionette, “that from now on I’ll be good, Father. I’ll learn a trade, and I’ll be the comfort of your old age.” Geppetto, though trying to look very stern, felt his eyes filled with tears and his heart soften when he found Pinocchio so unhappy. He said no more, but taking his tools, he began to work. Soon the feet were done. As soon as Pinocchio felt his new feet, he jumped around happily. “To show you how grateful I am to you, Father, I’ll go to school now. But to go to school I need clothes.” Geppetto had no money in his pocket, so he made his son a little suit of flowered paper, a pair of shoes from the bark of a tree, and a tiny cap from dough（面团）. Pinocchio felt so happy that he said proudly, “Now I look like a gentleman.” “But remember fine clothes do not make the man unless they are neat and clean.” “Very true,” answered Pinocchio, “but to go to school, I still need an A-B-C book.” Putting on his old coat, full of holes and patches (补丁), he ran out without another word. After a while he returned. In his hands, he had the A-B-C book for his son, but the old coat was gone. The poor man was in his shirt sleeves and the day was cold. “Where’s your coat, Father?” “I’ve sold it.” “Why did you sell it?” “It’s too warm.” Pinocchio understood the answer in a twinkling. Unable to control his tears, he jumped on his father’s neck and kissed him over and over. ——Adapted from The Adventures of Pinocchio 1．Why did Geppetto refuse to make new feet for Pinocchio at first?

Jim Hawkins was a young boy who worked with his parents at the Admiral Benbow hotel. One day, an old sailor named Billy Bones came to stay at the hotel. He had a large box and was always afraid of a man with one leg. After Billy Bones died, Jim and his mother opened the box. They found a map inside. It was a treasure map showing the location of the treasure buried by the famous pirate (海盗) Captain Flint. Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney decided to organize a voyage to find the treasure. They bought a ship called the Hispaniola and hired some sailors. The most friendly sailor was a one-legged cook named Long John Silver. He was clever and had a parrot that always shouted, “Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!” Jim liked him at first, but he soon discovered a terrible secret. Long John Silver was actually a dangerous pirate! He and many other sailors on the ship were part of Captain Flint’s old ones. They planned to mutiny (叛乱) and steal the treasure for themselves after the ship reached the island. When the ship arrived at Treasure Island, the adventure turned into a nightmare.

Tom’s aunt gave him the task of painting their fence. It was 30 yards long and 3 yards high. He painted one board and surveyed his progress, and then he sat down to have a rest. Tom began to think of the games that he wanted to play. He knew the boys who were free would soon come along and make fun of him. Just then, he had an idea. He picked up his brush and went back to work. Ben Rogers came along the road. He was singing happily and carrying an apple. “I’m going swimming,” said Ben. “Do you want to come? Oh, you have to work, don’t you? What a pity!” “Work?” said Tom. “This isn’t work. I’m enjoying myself. Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence like this every day?” Then he went on painting. Ben watched Tom in silence. He became more and more interested. After a while, he said, “Tom, will you let me do some painting?” Tom said, “No, Ben, I can’t. Aunt Polly warned me to do it well. I’m the only person that can do it right.” “Oh, please, Tom,” said Ben. “I can do it. I’ll be really careful. I’ll give you half my apple. Wait, I’ll give you all of it.” “That’s a deal,” said Tom. “But you must be careful.” Tom gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart.

I’m very, very happy, and so excited every moment of the time that I can hardly sleep. You can’t imagine how different it is from the John Grier Home. I never dreamed there was such a place in the world. I’m feeling sorry for everybody who isn’t a girl and the girls who can’t come here. I am sure the college you attended when you were a boy wasn’t so nice.   My room is up in a tower that used to be the ward (病房) before the new hospital was built. There are three other girls on the same floor of the tower—an older girl who wears glasses and is always asking us to be a little quieter, and two new students named Sallie and Julia. Sallie has red hair and a turned-up nose and is quite friendly; Julia comes from one of the first families in New York and hasn’t known me yet.   Sallie and Julia live in one room. The older girl and I have single rooms. Usually new students can’t get this kind of room. They are very rare, but I got one without even asking. I suppose the registrar (教务主任) didn’t think it would be right to ask a well-raised child like the older girl to share a room with a foundling (弃婴). You see, there are advantages!   The room with the name “Jerusha Abbott” on the door is mine. It is on the north-west corner with two windows and a view. After I have lived in a ward for eighteen years with twenty roommates, it is quiet and calm for me to be alone. I think I’m going to like the life here. 1．From the first paragraph, we know that the college is ________.

A．①④③② B．②③①④ C．④②①③ D．④①③② 3．What does the underlined word “They” in the third paragraph refer to? A．New students. B．Single rooms. C．The registrars. D．Younger girls. 4．What can we infer (推测) from the passage? A．The writer used to be a foundling. B．The writer has never lived in a ward. C．The older girl comes from a poor family. D．Jerusha Abbott is one of the writer’s friends. Uncle Tom lived in a small cabin with his wife, Aunt Chloe, and their children. One day, Aunt Chloe was baking a cake on the fire. Two young boys, Mose and Pete, were playing with their baby sister, Polly. Uncle Tom was sitting at the table. He was a large strong man with a kind face and an air of dignity (尊严). He was very busy. He was trying to write the alphabet (字母表) on a small blackboard. Mr. Shelby’s son, young Master George, was teaching him. However, while this was happening in Tom’s cabin, something very different was happening in his master’s house.   When they were getting ready to go to bed, Eliza came to their door.   “Uncle Tom and Aunt Chloe,” she said, “Master sold Uncle Tom!”   “Sold Tom?” said Aunt Chloe. “But why did he do that?”   “Master is in debt (债务). He has to find the money, or he will have to sell the farm and all of us and leave. So he sold Uncle Tom to pay off his debt.”   “Tom, why don’t you run away?

The bird’s duty was to fly into the wood for fuel every day; the mouse got the water, and the sausage saw to the cooking. One day, the bird met a fellow bird. He talked about his excellent household arrangements. But the fellow bird laughed at him for being a fool—he did all the hard work, while the other two stayed at home. He said, “After the mouse made the fire and carried the water, she could rest until it was time to set the table. The sausage had only to stay by the pot watching the food cook and added some salt at mealtime.” The bird brought his wood home, saying nothing. Next morning, influenced by the fellow bird, the bird refused to bring in the wood, telling the others that he had been a fool and it was time to change their work. The mouse and the sausage begged, but it was of no use. And now what happened? The sausage started in search of wood, the bird made the fire and carried water, and the mouse prepared the pot, and then these two waited till the sausage returned with the fuel for the following day. But the sausage remained so far away that they became worried, and the bird flew out to find him. However, when he flew just a short distance, he came across a dog that met the sausage and ate it. Then the bird picked up the wood and flew sadly home and told the mouse what happened. They were both unhappy, but agreed to make the best of things and stay together. So now the bird set the table, while the mouse prepared the food. When the cooking time came, the mouse jumped into the pot, but before reaching the middle, her skin and hair were burnt, and she died. When the bird came in, he could not see the mouse. In a hurry, he threw the wood here and there. Then some of the wood caught fire and began to blaze. The bird went to get some water, but his pail fell into the well, carrying him with it. He was unable to save himself and drowned. --Adapted from Grimms’ Fairy Tales 1．What was the bird’s duty in the beginning? A．To fly into the woods for fuel. B．To get water for daily use.

I never thought much about my name until we came to Mango Street. Before that, we were always moving. When the pipes broke at our last apartment and the landlord refused to fix them, that was the final push. My parents found this house, our own house on Mango Street. No rent to pay, no house owner. But it wasn’t the house they had promised. My father, holding a lottery ticket (彩票), would describe our future home: white, with a big yard, real stairs inside, running water, a basement, and three washrooms. My mother, in her bedtime stories, painted the same picture. The house on Mango Street is small and old. Its bricks are crumbling. The windows are small, and the front door is hard to open. There are no great elms (榆树), just four small ones. There’s one washroom for all of us. The stairs are just ordinary hallway stairs. I thought I had accepted this. But a sharp memory often returns. A cleaner from my school saw me playing outside our old flat. “Where do you live?” she asked. “There,” I said, pointing to the third floor with its peeling (脱落) paint. “You live there?” The way she said it made me feel like nothing. This feeling stayed with me, like a quiet friend, until my English class this week. Ms. Rivera asked us to draw our “dream house”. My hand seemed to move on its own, guided by my father’s lottery dreams and my mother’s bedtime stories. I drew a white house with a green yard, real stairs, and three washrooms. I even added a little yellow bird in a tree. Holding up my drawing, I felt a familiar pang of shame. It wasn’t real. But then, Alicia, who also lives on my street, whispered, “It’s beautiful, Esperanza. It looks like a real home.” She didn’t say her home was like that. She said it looked like one. And in that difference, I found a strange comfort. My name means “hope”, but it also means sadness and waiting. Maybe a house is the same. Maybe it can be both what it is and what it could be. I pinned the drawing to my wall. It is not a lie, but a target. For the first time, the distance between Mango Street and that white house feels like a distance I can cross. 1．What does the underlined “crumbling” mean in this story? A．strong and new B．weak and broken C．bright and red D．repaired and clean 2．How did the author’s feeling about her dream house change by the end of the story? A．From shame to acceptance, seeing it as an aim for her future. B．From hope to loss, realizing it was impossible to have one. C．From excitement to boredom, losing interest in the drawing. D．From sadness to anger, saying her parents caused their situation. 3．Which is the best title for the story? A．My Dream House B．A Special Drawing C．The House on Mango Street D．From Loss to Hope 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期中复习之阅读理解15篇（记叙文） （江苏专用） Gulliver’s Travels is a famous novel by Jonathan Swift.

I was a little worried because I knew how much my 12-year-old son wanted to make the team. I read the list of 13 names for a few minutes. Finally, I had to tell myself that my son wasn’t on the list. I felt sad. I wished it would be about victory. Like every parent, I love to say, “You did it!” Instead, I had to give my son a speech to comfort him, which was a lot less exciting, but probably more important. It was not really a speech, but a further discussion about spirit, courage and not giving up. Although it was painful for me to see my son so disappointed (失望), I needed to keep my own feelings in check. Sure, I wanted to call the coach to say he made a big mistake, but I would not. Nor would I let my son know that I thought it unfair. Instead, I put my own feelings aside and let my son have a safe place to calm down. And when he was done, I needed to encourage him to continue to improve skills. That day was a loss, but the only way to get another win was to put on his trainers and get on the basketball court again. My son is 15 years old now. And, after being cut from the team for three years in a row (连续地), he got to see his name on the list for the high school team. Last week, my husband and I watched him play in his first game. The smile on his face when he made his first shot is something I will never forget. After so many failures, it was a win that didn’t come easy for him. And it wouldn’t have happened if he had given up trying. 1．Why did the writer feel sad at first? A．Because her son didn’t feel confident. B．Because her son didn’t make the basketball team. C．Because her son decided to stop playing basketball. D．Because her son failed in a few basketball matches. 2．What does the underlined part “keep my own feelings in check” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Hide my own feeling. B．Hurt my own feeling. C．Follow my own feeling. D．Show my own feeling. 3．What did the mother do after her son failed to make the team? A．She called the coach to complain. B．She told her son it was unfair. C．She encouraged him to keep trying. D．She advised him to give up basketball. 4．What can be inferred (推断) about the writer’s son? A．He felt unhappy with his parents. B．He stopped working on his basketball skills. C．He played in a high school team at the age of 12． D．He was finally accepted by his high school team. 5．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．The Best Basketball Player.

D．The Importance of Teamwork. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述作者的儿子连续三年落选篮球队，母亲克制自身失落情绪，不断鼓励孩子坚持练习篮球，最终儿子成功入选高中篮球队的故事，阐释失败之后坚持终会迎来成功的道理。 1．根据文章第二段中“Finally, I had to tell myself that my son wasn't on the list. I felt sad.（最后，我不得不告诉自己，我儿子的名字不在名单上。我感到很难过。）”可知，作者感到难过是因为儿子没有入选篮球队。 2．根据文章第三段中“Instead, I put my own feelings aside and let my son have a safe place to calm down.（相反，我把自己的感受放在一边，让我儿子有一个安全的地方冷静下来。）”可知，作者需要控制自己的情绪，不表现出来，即“隐藏自己的感受”。 3．根据文章第三段中“And when he was done, I needed to encourage him to continue to improve skills.（当他冷静下来后，我需要鼓励他继续提高技能。）”以及“That day was a loss, but the only way to get another win was to put on his trainers and get on the basketball court again.（那天是一次失败，但获得另一次胜利的唯一方法是穿上运动鞋，再次踏上篮球场。）”可知，母亲鼓励儿子继续努力。 4．根据文章第四段中“My son is 15 years old now. And... he got to see his name on the list for the high school team.（我儿子现在15岁了。并且……他看到了自己的名字出现在高中篮球队的名单上。）”可知，儿子最终被高中篮球队录取了。 5．通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了儿子在多次落选篮球队后，没有放弃，坚持练习，最终在高中入选球队并获得成功的故事。文章最后一句“And it wouldn’t have happened if he had given up trying.（如果他放弃尝试，这一切就不会发生。）”点明了主题：成功源于失败后的坚持。 When Kelly was twelve, she started taking classes at Miss Grace’s School for Art. She didn’t like it at first: the “novice artists”—the kids who hadn’t really done art before—worked mostly with clay, and Kelly was a terrible sculptor (雕塑家). It wasn’t until her third year that Kelly found something she was really good at—charcoal drawing (素描). She loved watching the lines spread unevenly across the page as she moved the bits of charcoal back and forth over the paper. One day, Sophia, the best artist in her class, sat down and set up her easel (画架) next to Kelly. Kelly felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. She’d actually found an art form that she enjoyed—and was good at—and now Sophia was going to outshine her again? Kelly fought back tears when Miss Grace entered the room. “Hello class,” Miss Grace said. “We’ll continue to work on the project today.” What masterpiece would Sophia have come up with? Kelly looked at Sophia’s easel and she couldn’t believe it—it was a mess! For a short moment, Kelly couldn’t actually believe her drawing was better than Sophia’s. But then she looked at Sophia, who was watching Kelly with an anxious expression. “I... I couldn’t decide what to do,” Sophia said. “And you’re so good. Sometimes I feel like my work is just so bad in comparison.” Kelly looked to see if Sophia was joking, but she seemed completely serious. Now Kelly was surprised. “I’m not talented... Miss Grace seldom praises me. You’re the best one in our class.” Sophia raised her eyebrows. “I might be a really good copier of the works, but I have no idea what to do when it comes to making up my own images. You are so great at making new things out of the old works. I’ve loved your works.” “I’ve loved yours, too,” Kelly said. “Well, definitely not this one,” Sophia said. Kelly smiled. “Maybe not right now. But if you move these lines up...” she said, pointing her finger on Sophia’s paper. Sophia was quiet for a moment. “That’s a great idea!” she said finally. Kelly smiled and turned back to her drawing, looking every so often at Sophia’s work to see that she was taking her advice, down to the last line. 1．What does the underlined word “outshine” mean in this story? A．Help someone improve. B．Make someone feel happy. C．Do better than someone. D．Become friends with someone. 2．What can we learn about Kelly and Sophia? A．They found they could learn from each other.

D．My Drawing Teacher. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 【导语】本文讲述凯利起初在艺术学校并不擅长泥塑，后来精通炭笔素描。班里画画最好的索菲娅坐到了她的身边，凯利却意外发现索菲娅自主创作时的画作水平很差。原来索菲娅进行自主创作时总会陷入瓶颈，她还格外羡慕凯利的创作能力。二人解开心中的顾虑，认可彼此。 1．第三段“She’d actually found an art form that she enjoyed—and was good at—and now Sophia was going to outshine her again? Kelly fought back tears”表明，凯利刚找到自己擅长的素描，担心索菲娅的表现会胜过自己，故outshine表示“胜过，比……做得好”，C选项“Do better than someone”符合。 2．第九段“Sophia raised her eyebrows. ‘I might be a really good copier... I’ve loved your works.’ ”和最后一段“ Kelly smiled and turned back to her drawing, looking every so often at Sophia’s work to see that she was taking her advice, down to the last line.”表明，索菲娅擅长临摹但不擅长原创，凯利擅长原创创作，两人都表达了对彼此的欣赏，可知她们发现可以互相学习。 3．本文整个故事发生在艺术课上，围绕艺术课里两个学生的经历展开，A选项“The Art Class.”符合最佳标题。 Every Saturday evening growing up, my family and I gathered around my grandmother’s long dining table for delicious homemade food. There were loud conversations and games with my aunts, uncles, and cousins. I loved these nights. It was always special to spend the night at my grandmother’s house after one of these gatherings. I would stay there alone, without any of my three cousins. My grandmother would pay no attention to the mess. She set up a bed for me on the floor of her bedroom. Both of us read until our eyes wouldn’t stay open any longer. The next morning, we woke up, ate bread, and got to work. She would spend the morning cleaning after each family party the night before. Some of my earliest memories include her rolling out the big vacuum cleaner (吸尘器) down the long hall. She’d do the dishes while I got to clean the table. And we’d flatten the cans together. As I’ve entered my thirties and begun hosting friends of my own, I have adopted my grandmother’s cleaning method. I’ll never clean the night of the party. My mind deeply refuses it—only allowing a pile of dirty dishes to sit next to the sink (洗涤槽) after I’ve said goodbye to my guests and locked the gate. Then I go to bed with my partner and our cats, and we lose ourselves in the night of nice talks, close moments, and joy. On Sunday mornings, I roll out the vacuum cleaner, do the dishes, and play some music. It’s relaxing. This is the type of cleaning that’s just for me—the kind meant to settle and absorb (吸收) the conversations and events of the night. I’m confident it strengthens the memories of the good times, too. A little more partying first and cleaning later. I advise you to try it sometime. 1．What was special to the writer when she was young? A．Playing games with her cousins. B．Eating with her whole family. C．Spending the night at her grandma’s. D．Going home without her cousins. 2．What is the writer’s grandmother’s cleaning method? A．Leaving cleaning to the next day. B．Doing the cleaning with partners. C．Listening to music while cleaning. D．Cleaning up after the guests leave. 3．What can we infer (推断) about the writer’s cleaning after parties now? A．It is often done with her guests’ help. B．It makes her feel stressed about the mess. C．It takes her much longer than her grandmother’s. D．It helps her think of the happy time from the party. 4．Which of the following best shows the main idea of the passage? A．Childhood memories with family are the most valuable treasures in one’s life. B．Cleaning the day after a party is more relaxing than cleaning on party night. C．Hosting friends at home can create happy moments and strengthen relationships. D．A loved one’s daily habit may be passed down, becoming meaningful for you. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文讲述作者受祖母聚会后第二天打扫卫生习惯的影响，自己也采用同样方式并从中获得放松和美好回忆，建议大家尝试。 1．根据文章第二段第一句“It was always special to spend the night at my grandmother’s house after one of these gatherings.”可知，对作者来说，小时候特别的事情是在聚会后在祖母家过夜。 2．根据文章第三段“The next morning, we woke up... She would spend the morning cleaning after each family party the night before.”以及第四段作者采纳该方法后的描述“I’ll never clean the night of the party... On Sunday mornings...”可知，祖母的清洁方法是把清洁工作留到第二天进行。 3．根据文章最后一段“This is the type of cleaning that’s just for me... I'm confident it strengthens the memories of the good times, too.”可知，作者现在的清洁方式能帮助她回味和加强派对美好时光的记忆。 4．文章通过叙述作者小时候祖母聚会后第二天打扫的习惯，以及作者成年后采纳这一习惯并从中获得感悟的过程，说明了亲人的习惯可以传承并变得富有意义。选项D最能概括这一中心思想。 Mr. Dance and the other government men left. “Do you know anything about this Captain Flint?” the doctor asked the squire. “Oh, yes,” the squire said. “I was on a ship that he attacked. He is a dangerous pirate (海盗). He killed many men and stole their treasure.” “Perhaps then,” the doctor said, “he buried the stolen treasure. And perhaps these papers will tell us where it is.” “If they do,” the squire said, “then the three of us will go to Bristol. I can get a ship there to take us to look for it.” The doctor took a book and a map out of the piece of cloth. The squire studied the book. “This book has the names of all the ships Captain Flint attacked and how much money he stole from them. He died a rich man. Now let me see the map.” The doctor handed it to the squire. The map was of an island about twelve kilometers long and eight kilometers wide. There was a hill in the middle. On the hill were the words “The Spy-Glass.” There were three crosses in red ink: two in the north of the island and one in the south-west. Next to the last cross were the words, “Most of the treasure here.” On the back of the paper were the words, “Tall tree Look through Spy-Glass to a point north of north, north east. Skeleton Island east, south east by east.” There were more words that I did not understand, but the squire knew what they meant. He said to the doctor, “This is all the information we need. We will go to this island. You will come as the ship’s doctor, and Jim shall be the cabin boy.” “Very well, Trelawney,” the doctor said, “but there is one man I am afraid of.” “Oh? And who is that, sir?” the squire wanted to know. “You, sir,” the doctor said. “You don’t know how to keep a secret. There will be men who will do anything to get this map. You must tell no one that we have it.” “I promise,” the squire said. “You have my word.” 1．What can we know about Captain Flint? A．He helped find some treasure. B．He left all his treasure to the squire. C．He once did lots of bad things. D．He taught the squire how to sail a ship. 2．Why did the squire plan to go to Bristol? A．To show the map to the locals.

He gave the map to the squire to study. b. He took out a book and a map from the cloth. c. He agreed to be the ship’s doctor for the treasure trip. d. He guessed the papers might show where Flint’s treasure was. A．d-b-a-c B．d-b-c-a C．b-c-a-d D．b-a-c-d 4．The doctor worried that the squire ________. A．might give up the treasure hunt halfway B．couldn’t control the ship towards Bristol C．might tell others about the map carelessly D．couldn’t understand the words on the map 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述医生、乡绅得到海盗弗林特船长遗留的书本和藏宝地图，他们打算乘船去岛上寻宝，医生提醒乡绅务必保守地图秘密的故事。 1．根据文中第三段乡绅的回答“He is a dangerous pirate. He killed many men and stole their treasure.”可知，Flint船长曾经做过很多坏事。 2．根据文中第五段乡绅的话“then the three of us will go to Bristol. I can get a ship there to take us to look for it.”可知，去布里斯托尔是为了找船去寻宝。 3．根据文章发展顺序：1.医生猜测文件可能显示宝藏位置（d....perhaps these papers will tell us where it is.）；2.医生从布包里拿出书和地图（b.The doctor took a book and map out...）；3.乡绅看完书后，医生把地图递给乡绅（a.The doctor handed it to the squire.）；4.乡绅安排角色后，医生同意担任船医（c.“Very well... You will come as the ship’s doctor...”）。正确顺序为d-b-a-c。 4．根据文章后四段，医生说“there is one man I am afraid of...You don’t know how to keep a secret.”可知，医生担心乡绅会不小心把地图的事情告诉别人。 I felt so guilty that I could not sleep. My creation of life had been a terrible mistake. Not only Justine but also my youngest brother died because of the monster. I was to blame for both deaths. I had created the monster that was the murderer (凶手). And the creature was still out there somewhere. My father became very ill. Grief (悲哀) at the deaths of William and Justine overcame him. I, too, was in pain. Many times I thought about killing myself as I sailed alone each day on the lake. Elizabeth, seeing how unhappy I was, tried to help me. “You have friends who love you, Victor,” she said. “Try not to be so sad.” The time came when I could not stay at home any longer. I had to get away. I decided to ride into the hills. Ahead of me was snow-covered Mont Blanc. After many days, I arrived at a mountain village. Very tired after many days’ traveling, I was at last able to sleep. The next day, feeling much stronger, I decided to climb to the top of the mountain with my horse. There was heavy wind and rain, but I did not care. I began my climb without a guide. It was nearly midday when I arrived at the top of the mountain. For some time I stood there looking at the sea of ice. Then I began to cross it. The journey, which was very difficult, took me two hours. Suddenly, a man ran out of the mist toward me. It was the monster I had created. “You want to kill me,” he said. “You want to kill that which you have created. You have no right to do so. Leave me in peace, or one by one I shall kill everyone you love.” I was so angry that I leapt at him, wanting to kill him there and then, but he easily stepped aside, and I fell to the ground. —Taken from Frankenstein 1．Who is Elizabeth? A．The monster. B．Victor’s sister. C．Victor’s friend. D．Victor’s mother. 2．What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指代) in the passage? A．The heavy rain. B．The mist. C．The mountain. D．The sea of ice 【答案】1．C 2．D 【导语】本文节选自《弗兰肯斯坦》，讲述了Victor因创造怪物导致亲人死亡而深感内疚，他在登山时与怪物相遇并发生冲突。 1．根据第三段Elizabeth对Victor说的话“You have friends who love you, Victor”以及她试图安慰和帮助Victor的行为，可以推断她是Victor的朋友。 2．划线词“it”出现在“For some time I stood there looking at the sea of ice. Then I began to cross it.”中，前一句提到“sea of ice”，因此“it”指代“the sea of ice”。 The Marionette, Pinocchio, cried he wanted a new pair of feet. But Geppetto, to punish him for his mischief (淘气), let him alone the whole morning. After dinner, he said to him, “Why should I make your feet over again? To see you run away from home once more?” “I promise you,” answered the Marionette, “that from now on I’ll be good, Father. I’ll learn a trade, and I’ll be the comfort of your old age.” Geppetto, though trying to look very stern, felt his eyes filled with tears and his heart soften when he found Pinocchio so unhappy. He said no more, but taking his tools, he began to work. Soon the feet were done. As soon as Pinocchio felt his new feet, he jumped around happily. “To show you how grateful I am to you, Father, I’ll go to school now. But to go to school I need clothes.” Geppetto had no money in his pocket, so he made his son a little suit of flowered paper, a pair of shoes from the bark of a tree, and a tiny cap from dough（面团）. Pinocchio felt so happy that he said proudly, “Now I look like a gentleman.” “But remember fine clothes do not make the man unless they are neat and clean.” “Very true,” answered Pinocchio, “but to go to school, I still need an A-B-C book.” Putting on his old coat, full of holes and patches (补丁), he ran out without another word. After a while he returned. In his hands, he had the A-B-C book for his son, but the old coat was gone. The poor man was in his shirt sleeves and the day was cold. “Where’s your coat, Father?” “I’ve sold it.” “Why did you sell it?” “It’s too warm.” Pinocchio understood the answer in a twinkling.

A．Pinocchio’s First Lesson in Love B．Pinocchio’s Promise to Be Better C．Making Clothes from Old Materials D．The Importance of Getting Education 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，节选自《木偶奇遇记》，主要介绍了皮诺乔求新脚，杰佩托起初拒绝，后心软为他做脚、做衣服，并卖掉外套换课本，皮诺乔感动落泪。 1． 文中第二段杰佩托说：“Why should I make your feet over again? To see you run away from home once more?”，明确表示他担心皮诺乔再次逃跑。 2．前文杰佩托在“教训”皮诺乔，后文“eyes filled with tears and heart soften”说明他本来想装出严厉的样子，“stern”意为“严厉的”。 3．顺序还原：③木偶哭求新脚（开头）、  ④皮诺乔承诺变好（“I promise you...”）、①杰佩托被感动落泪（“eyes filled with tears”）、②杰佩托用纸做衣服（之后做衣服），顺序为③④①②。 4．全文核心不是“上学”或“做衣服”，而是杰佩托牺牲外套换课本，皮诺乔第一次真正感受到父爱并感动落泪，所以选项A“皮诺乔的爱的第一课”最贴切。 Alice in Wonderland is one of the most popular children’s books, and many adults enjoy it as well. It tells the story of a young girl named Alice, who follows a rabbit into a magical world called Wonderland. She has many magical experiences. The popularity of the book comes from its imagination, interesting story and artwork. The writer of the book is Lewis Carroll. In fact, Lewis Carroll’s real name is Charles Dodgson. One day, he took a boat ride down the River Thames to have a picnic (野餐) with three little girls who were friends of the family. To keep them happy during the ride, he told them a story in which Alice, the middle child, was the main character. They enjoyed the story very much. Charles later wrote the story down under the name Alice’s Adventures under Ground and gave it to Alice as a Christmas gift. Later, he gave a copy to his friend George MacDonald. George read it to his children and they loved it. George advised Charles that he should make a book from his story. Charles then wrote more parts to the story until it was around 35,000 words. The artwork was done by John Tenniel, a famous illustrator, whose pictures were really interesting. The book came out in 1866, under the name Alice in Wonderland. One of its fans was Queen Victoria. She immediately bought all of Lewis Carroll’s books. She was surprised to find that they included many books on math. Since the book came out, it has been translated (翻译) into over fifty languages. 1．What makes Alice in Wonderland popular? A．The writer’s real name. B．Queen Victoria’s love for it.

Charles then wrote more parts to the story until it was around 35,000 words...The book came out in 1866, under the name Alice in Wonderland...Since the book came out, it has been translated (翻译) into over fifty languages.”可知，首先，Charles和三个女孩乘船出游（②），期间他讲述了故事，之后写下《爱丽丝地下历险记》（①）；接着George建议他把故事写得更长（④） ；随后1866年《爱丽丝梦游仙境》出版（⑤）；最后书在全世界流行起来（③）。所以顺序是②①④⑤③。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。文章主要讲述了《爱丽丝梦游仙境》这本书从故事雏形诞生，到成书出版，再到受到欢迎被翻译多种语言的过程，也就是这本书的诞生和影响。故选C。 ①Detective Miles sat at his desk, thinking about the case. The final math test paper was missing, and the exam was tomorrow. The principal had called him this morning, very worried. There were only three people who had a key to the office: Mr. Clark, the math teacher; Sarah, the top student; and Ben, the janitor. ②First, Detective Miles talked to Mr. Clark. “I was in the teachers’ lounge (休息室) all afternoon, grading homework,” he said. “I have no reason to take the test. I wrote it!” ③Next, he found Sarah in the library. She looked nervous. “I was studying here alone,” she said. “I need a good grade, but I wouldn’t steal! Maybe Ben was cleaning the office and saw it.” ④Finally, Detective Miles spoke to Ben, who was mopping the hallway. “I cleaned the office early this morning before anyone arrived,” Ben said. “I saw Mr. Clark leave the office at lunchtime. Later, I saw Sarah walking quickly away from the office door. She looked like she was hiding something.” ⑤Detective Miles thought carefully. He remembered one important detail: the office door lock was old and sometimes didn’t lock properly. He went back to the office and looked at the floor. There was a wet spot near the window. He smiled. He knew who was lying. 1．Why was Detective Miles called to the school? A．Because a student was hurt. B．Because a teacher lost his keys. C．Because the school office was broken into. D．Because the final math test was missing. 2．What was the important detail Detective Miles remembered? A．The window in the office was open. B．Sarah was studying in the library alone.

One day, an old sailor named Billy Bones came to stay at the hotel. He had a large box and was always afraid of a man with one leg. After Billy Bones died, Jim and his mother opened the box. They found a map inside. It was a treasure map showing the location of the treasure buried by the famous pirate (海盗) Captain Flint. Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney decided to organize a voyage to find the treasure. They bought a ship called the Hispaniola and hired some sailors. The most friendly sailor was a one-legged cook named Long John Silver. He was clever and had a parrot that always shouted, “Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!” Jim liked him at first, but he soon discovered a terrible secret. Long John Silver was actually a dangerous pirate! He and many other sailors on the ship were part of Captain Flint’s old ones. They planned to mutiny (叛乱) and steal the treasure for themselves after the ship reached the island. When the ship arrived at Treasure Island, the adventure turned into a nightmare. Jim warned the good men, including the Captain, Dr. Livesey, and Squire Trelawney. A big fight began between the two groups. Jim found a man on the island, Ben Gunn, who helped him. At last, because of Jim’s bravery and clever tricks, the good men defeated (打败) the pirates and found the treasure. Long John Silver tried to escape, but failed.

One day, an old sailor named Billy Bones came to stay at the hotel.”，这直接说明吉姆是在本鲍上将旅馆第一次遇见老水手比利·博恩斯。 2．第二段讲述行动：“Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney decided to organize a voyage to find the treasure. They bought a ship called the Hispaniola and hired some sailors.”，结合出海寻宝藏、购置船只的语境，可判断“voyage”意为海上长途航行。 3．通读全文梳理情节：第二段“After Billy Bones died, Jim and his mother opened the box. They found a map inside.”，比利死后，吉姆打开箱子发现地图 (①)；第二段“They bought a ship called the Hispaniola and hired some sailors.”，众人买下伊斯帕尼奥拉号船并雇佣水手 (③)；第三段“but he soon discovered a terrible secret.

Tom’s aunt gave him the task of painting their fence. It was 30 yards long and 3 yards high. He painted one board and surveyed his progress, and then he sat down to have a rest.

He picked up his brush and went back to work. Ben Rogers came along the road. He was singing happily and carrying an apple. “I’m going swimming,” said Ben. “Do you want to come? Oh, you have to work, don’t you? What a pity!” “Work?” said Tom. “This isn’t work. I’m enjoying myself. Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence like this every day?” Then he went on painting. Ben watched Tom in silence. He became more and more interested. After a while, he said, “Tom, will you let me do some painting?” Tom said, “No, Ben, I can’t. Aunt Polly warned me to do it well. I’m the only person that can do it right.” “Oh, please, Tom,” said Ben. “I can do it. I’ll be really careful. I’ll give you half my apple. Wait, I’ll give you all of it.” “That’s a deal,” said Tom. “But you must be careful.” Tom gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart. He sat down again and started to eat the apple. When Ben got tired, Billy Fisher was walking. He gave Tom a kite for the chance to paint. Then Johnny Miller offered him two toy soldiers.

I’ll be really careful. I’ll give you half my apple. Wait, I’ll give you all of it.’”、“When Ben got tired, Billy Fisher was walking. He gave Tom a kite for the chance to paint.

I’m enjoying myself. Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence like this every day?’”以及后续男孩们的反应可知，其他男孩想帮汤姆刷篱笆是因为他们认为刷篱笆很有趣。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“On Saturday morning, every boy in town was happy, except Tom Sawyer.”以及后续汤姆通过巧妙的方法让其他男孩帮他刷篱笆并得到奖励可知，汤姆的情绪从最初的无聊 (因为要刷篱笆) 变为后来的愉快 (因为不仅完成了任务还得到了奖励)。故选D。 5．主旨大意题。根据文章内容，汤姆通过聪明的方法让原本枯燥的任务变得有趣，并最终完成了任务还得到了奖励。这告诉我们，一点聪明才智可以让困难的工作变得容易。故选A。 I love college and I love you for sending me here. I’m very, very happy, and so excited every moment of the time that I can hardly sleep. You can’t imagine how different it is from the John Grier Home. I never dreamed there was such a place in the world. I’m feeling sorry for everybody who isn’t a girl and the girls who can’t come here. I am sure the college you attended when you were a boy wasn’t so nice.   My room is up in a tower that used to be the ward (病房) before the new hospital was built. There are three other girls on the same floor of the tower—an older girl who wears glasses and is always asking us to be a little quieter, and two new students named Sallie and Julia. Sallie has red hair and a turned-up nose and is quite friendly; Julia comes from one of the first families in New York and hasn’t known me yet.   Sallie and Julia live in one room. The older girl and I have single rooms. Usually new students can’t get this kind of room. They are very rare, but I got one without even asking. I suppose the registrar (教务主任) didn’t think it would be right to ask a well-raised child like the older girl to share a room with a foundling (弃婴). You see, there are advantages!   The room with the name “Jerusha Abbott” on the door is mine. It is on the north-west corner with two windows and a view. After I have lived in a ward for eighteen years with twenty roommates, it is quiet and calm for me to be alone. I think I’m going to like the life here. 1．From the first paragraph, we know that the college is ________. A．the same as the John Grier Home B．a great place for the writer to stay C．a place where the writer wants to leave D．a wonderful place only for boys 2．Which of the following is the right order according to the story?   ① I moved into a single room in the tower.   ② Jerusha Abbott felt so happy and excited that she could hardly sleep.   ③ I became neighbours with three other girls on my floor.   ④ Jerusha Abbott lived in a ward with twenty roommates for eighteen years. A．①④③② B．②③①④ C．④②①③ D．④①③② 3．What does the underlined word “They” in the third paragraph refer to? A．New students. B．Single rooms. C．The registrars. D．Younger girls. 4．What can we infer (推测) from the passage? A．The writer used to be a foundling. B．The writer has never lived in a ward. C．The older girl comes from a poor family. D．Jerusha Abbott is one of the writer’s friends. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了Jerusha Abbott向资助人描述了她进入大学后的新生活，表达了对大学环境、单人宿舍以及新生活的喜爱和兴奋之情，同时也透露了她对自己孤儿身份的认知。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“I love college…I’m very, very happy…You can’t imagine how different it is from the John Grier Home.”可知，作者非常热爱大学生活，甚至高兴得睡不着觉，这对她来说是一个很好的地方。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“After I have lived in a ward for eighteen years”可知，作者过去在病房住了18年，这是故事背景；根据“I love college…I’m very, very happy” 可知，作者来到大学后感到非常快乐和兴奋；根据“My room is up in a tower”以及“The older girl and I have single rooms”可知，作者随后描述了自己住进了塔楼的单人房；根据“There are three other girls on the same floor”可知，她因此与同楼层的其他女孩成为了邻居。故正确顺序为④-②-①-③。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据“The older girl and I have single rooms. Usually new students can’t get this kind of room. They are very rare, but I got one without even asking.”可知，通常新生无法申请到这种房间（指单人房），它们非常稀有。因此“They”指代的是上文提到的“Single rooms”。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“I suppose the registrar (教务主任) didn’t think it would be right to ask a well-raised child like the older girl to share a room with a foundling (弃婴).”可知，作者认为教务主任是为了避免让家教好的女孩和弃婴同住才给她分配了单间，此处“foundling”指代作者自己；且根据“The room with the name ‘Jerusha Abbott’ on the door is mine.”可知，此处确认作者就是Jerusha Abbott。故可推断作者曾经是一名弃婴。故选A。 Uncle Tom lived in a small cabin with his wife, Aunt Chloe, and their children. One day, Aunt Chloe was baking a cake on the fire. Two young boys, Mose and Pete, were playing with their baby sister, Polly. Uncle Tom was sitting at the table. He was a large strong man with a kind face and an air of dignity (尊严). He was very busy. He was trying to write the alphabet (字母表) on a small blackboard. Mr. Shelby’s son, young Master George, was teaching him. However, while this was happening in Tom’s cabin, something very different was happening in his master’s house.   When they were getting ready to go to bed, Eliza came to their door.   “Uncle Tom and Aunt Chloe,” she said, “Master sold Uncle Tom!”   “Sold Tom?” said Aunt Chloe. “But why did he do that?”   “Master is in debt (债务). He has to find the money, or he will have to sell the farm and all of us and leave. So he sold Uncle Tom to pay off his debt.”   “Tom, why don’t you run away? You’ll be sent to a plantation (种植园), where you have endless hard work and no food! There’s still time. Come on, get up, and I’ll get your things ready.”   Tom looked at her with sad eyes and said, “No, I’m not running away. You heard what Eliza said! The master needs money to keep the farm and the people. I’m strong. I’ll be OK. I can go so he won’t have to sell everything. These things happen, Chloe, and Master tried to be good. I’ll take care of you and the children.”   Then he looked at his sleeping children. He covered his face and started to cry, knowing this quiet moment was all he had left. 1．How many children did Tom have? A．One. B．Two. C．Three.

C．To prepare food for Tom. D．To help Tom run away. 4．Why did Mr. Shelby sell Tom? A．Because other family members didn’t like Tom. B．Because Tom was too lazy to do the housework. C．Because Mr. Shelby needed money to pay off his debt. D．Because Tom could live a better life in the plantation. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了汤姆叔叔被主人谢尔比老爷卖掉以偿还债务的故事，展现了汤姆的善良与牺牲精神。 1．细节理解题。根据“Two young boys, Mose and Pete, were playing with their baby sister, Polly.”可知，汤姆有两个儿子（Mose和Pete）和一个女儿（Polly），共三个孩子。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“However, while this was happening in Tom’s cabin, something very different was happening in his master’s house.”以及“Master sold Uncle Tom!”可知，“something very different”指的是主人在负债的情况下卖掉了汤姆。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Tom, why don’t you run away? You’ll be sent to a plantation (种植园), where you have endless hard work and no food! There’s still time. Come on, get up, and I’ll get your things ready.”可知，克洛伊婶婶希望汤姆逃跑并准备帮他收拾行李。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“Master is in debt (债务). He has to find the money, or he will have to sell the farm and all of us and leave.

The bird’s duty was to fly into the wood for fuel every day; the mouse got the water, and the sausage saw to the cooking. One day, the bird met a fellow bird. He talked about his excellent household arrangements. But the fellow bird laughed at him for being a fool—he did all the hard work, while the other two stayed at home. He said, “After the mouse made the fire and carried the water, she could rest until it was time to set the table. The sausage had only to stay by the pot watching the food cook and added some salt at mealtime.” The bird brought his wood home, saying nothing. Next morning, influenced by the fellow bird, the bird refused to bring in the wood, telling the others that he had been a fool and it was time to change their work. The mouse and the sausage begged, but it was of no use. And now what happened? The sausage started in search of wood, the bird made the fire and carried water, and the mouse prepared the pot, and then these two waited till the sausage returned with the fuel for the following day. But the sausage remained so far away that they became worried, and the bird flew out to find him. However, when he flew just a short distance, he came across a dog that met the sausage and ate it. Then the bird picked up the wood and flew sadly home and told the mouse what happened. They were both unhappy, but agreed to make the best of things and stay together. So now the bird set the table, while the mouse prepared the food. When the cooking time came, the mouse jumped into the pot, but before reaching the middle, her skin and hair were burnt, and she died. When the bird came in, he could not see the mouse. In a hurry, he threw the wood here and there. Then some of the wood caught fire and began to blaze. The bird went to get some water, but his pail fell into the well, carrying him with it. He was unable to save himself and drowned. --Adapted from Grimms’ Fairy Tales 1．What was the bird’s duty in the beginning? A．To fly into the woods for fuel. B．To get water for daily use.

Before that, we were always moving. When the pipes broke at our last apartment and the landlord refused to fix them, that was the final push. My parents found this house, our own house on Mango Street. No rent to pay, no house owner. But it wasn’t the house they had promised. My father, holding a lottery ticket (彩票), would describe our future home: white, with a big yard, real stairs inside, running water, a basement, and three washrooms. My mother, in her bedtime stories, painted the same picture. The house on Mango Street is small and old. Its bricks are crumbling. The windows are small, and the front door is hard to open. There are no great elms (榆树), just four small ones. There’s one washroom for all of us. The stairs are just ordinary hallway stairs. I thought I had accepted this. But a sharp memory often returns. A cleaner from my school saw me playing outside our old flat. “Where do you live?” she asked. “There,” I said, pointing to the third floor with its peeling (脱落) paint. “You live there?” The way she said it made me feel like nothing. This feeling stayed with me, like a quiet friend, until my English class this week. Ms. Rivera asked us to draw our “dream house”. My hand seemed to move on its own, guided by my father’s lottery dreams and my mother’s bedtime stories. I drew a white house with a green yard, real stairs, and three washrooms. I even added a little yellow bird in a tree. Holding up my drawing, I felt a familiar pang of shame. It wasn’t real. But then, Alicia, who also lives on my street, whispered, “It’s beautiful, Esperanza. It looks like a real home.” She didn’t say her home was like that. She said it looked like one. And in that difference, I found a strange comfort. My name means “hope”, but it also means sadness and waiting. Maybe a house is the same. Maybe it can be both what it is and what it could be. I pinned the drawing to my wall. It is not a lie, but a target. For the first time, the distance between Mango Street and that white house feels like a distance I can cross. 1．What does the underlined “crumbling” mean in this story? A．strong and new B．weak and broken C．bright and red D．repaired and clean 2．How did the author’s feeling about her dream house change by the end of the story?

D．From sadness to anger, saying her parents caused their situation. 3．Which is the best title for the story? A．My Dream House B．A Special Drawing C．The House on Mango Street D．From Loss to Hope 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了主人公Esperanza对芒果街的简陋房屋的复杂情感。她曾因现实与父母描述的梦想之家差距而感到羞耻，但通过绘画和同学的鼓励，她逐渐将梦想之家视为未来的目标，并从中找到希望。 1．词句猜测题。 根据第二段“ The house on Mango Street is small and old. Its bricks are crumbling. The windows are small, and the front door is hard to open.”可知，房子又小又旧，砖块状况不佳，窗户小且门难开，说明房子破旧，所以划线单词应表示“破碎的”。选项中“weak and broken”（脆弱且破损）最符合语境。故选B。 2．观点态度题。 根据最后一段“Holding up my drawing, I felt a familiar pang of shame… It is not a lie, but a target.”可知，Esperanza最初因梦想与现实的差距感到羞耻，但最终将绘画视为目标，态度从羞耻转为接纳。故选A。 3．最佳标题题。全文围绕“芒果街的房子”展开：从搬入芒果街的房子，到对比梦想中的房子，再到在芒果街获得慰藉并确立目标，“The House on Mango Street”是贯穿全文的核心线索。故选C。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
