One day, while his mother was out hunting, the gray cub (幼兽) found the way out of the cave. At first, he was afraid. But the need to know and understand was greater than his fear, so he went out. He soon discovered that the floor of the world was not flat like the floor of the cave. And he fell, screaming in fear.
But he soon sat up, and started walking and looking around him. He met a squirrel, and a woodpecker, both of which moved away from him. So he learned that the world had things that stayed in one place, and other things that moved.
He had beginner’s luck when he fell into a ptarmigan’s (雷鸟) nest. In the nest, there were seven chicks. He realized this was meat, like his mother gave him. So he ate them all. As he walked away from the nest, the mother ptarmigan attacked him. He fought back, biting her wing with his small teeth. He was excited and happy. He was fighting for meat, fighting to kill. It was what wolves did. He learned another important lesson.
Then he left the ptarmigan free and rested. As he watched her, something rushed down from above him, picked up the ptarmigan and flew back up into the sky. It was an eagle.
He was learning. Live things were meat, but if they were big enough, live things could also hurt. It was better to eat small live things.
Later something small jumped in front of him, so he put his paw on it. It was a young weasel (鼬鼠). It made strange noises, and soon the mother weasel appeared. She jumped at his neck and bit him with sharp teeth. She wasn’t big, but he didn’t know how dangerous weasels were.
Suddenly she jumped, and bit into his throat. He tried to fight, but the weasel held on. The cub was sure to die, but luckily his mother, the she-wolf, heard his frightened calls and came to save him.

Last night we were the only people to get to Game Hut at 9:00. So we quickly put up our tent in front of the shop. To stop anyone from cutting in line, we took turns to keep watch. I even let Rowley sleep first, because that’s just the kind of person I am.
However, when I woke Rowley up for his turn, he fell back asleep at once. So I ended up staying awake the whole night. By morning, I was tired out so I ate some chocolate. With chocolate all over my hands, I got an idea. I slipped my hand into the tent. I thought it would be funny to make Rowley think it was the monster (怪物) —the muddy hand.
But before I could check his reaction (反应) , he hit my hand hard with a hammer (锤子) ! My thumb turned purple. I was very angry not because he hit me, but because he thought a hammer could stop the muddy hand. Everyone knows you need fire or acid for that!
Just then, the guy from Game Hut showed up. I tried to forget the pain and explained we were there for the video game match. He had no idea what I was talking about, so I pointed to the poster in the window. He said the shop wasn’t really set up for a video game match. But since there were only two of us, we could play a death match in the back room. But with my injured thumb, I could do nothing. Finally Rowley beat me 15-0.

There was magic in the secret garden that spring and summer. At first, everything turned green. Then the green changed to colours—blue, purple and red. There were flowers everywhere. Dickon and Mary’s seeds grew and produced poppies. And the roses—the roses! From small buds they grew into large flowers and filled the air with their perfume (香味).
Colin saw it all. He watched the changes as they happened. Dickon pushed his wheelchair to the garden every morning and he spent the day there. Sometimes he sat on the grass watching the insects. One morning, he watched a mole (鼹鼠) digging a hole. He learnt a lot of things about the ways of these insects and animals. And Dickon taught him about the animals in the wood. One morning, the children were in the secret garden as usual. When Ben Weatherstaff arrived, Colin said: “Good morning, Ben Weatherstaff. I want you and Dickon and Mary to listen to me because I’m going to tell you something very important.”
“Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff. “I’m going to do a scientific experiment (实验),” he said proudly. When I grow up, I’m going to make a scientific experiment about magic, and I’m going to start with this experiment. Do you understand?
“Yes, sir!” said Ben Weatherstaff, but he didn’t really understand.
“I believe that there is magic in everything,” added Colin. “Dickon knows some magic. He attracts animals and people. Mary also knows a bit of magic because she was born in India. There’s magic in the garden, too. I’m going to try and put some in me because I want to be well and strong. I’m going to say, ‘Magic is in me!’ And you must all say it, too. That is my experiment. Are you going to help, Ben Weatherstaff?” “Yes, sir!” said Ben Weatherstaff.
They sat down in a circle. The crow, the fox, the squirrels and the lamb were very curious. “Now let’s begin,” Colin said, and they all started chanting (吟唱). “Magic is in me. Magic is in me. Magic is in all of us.”

The rose proudly said, “It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest.” Then the rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌) and said, “Look at that ugly plant full of thorns (刺)!”
“What a proud flower!” thought the trees.
As the days passed, the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like “This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor!”
The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, “God did not create any form of life without a purpose.”
Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose was about to die.
One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus.
“The cactus has water?” asked the rose.
“Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help.”

White Fang sensed something terrible. He gave a low and sad howl (嚎叫) outside.
In fact, Scott was sad too. He was sad about the idea of leaving White Fang, but he knew the place like California wasn’t suitable for a dog. Five or six times he changed his mind. But in the end he decided firmly not to take him. He told himself, “He would hate living in a city, anyway.”
Then White Fang saw his love-master packing his things into a bag. His god was going away again, and, like last time, he wasn’t taking White Fang with him. That night he howled long, pointing his nose to the stars and telling them of his sadness.
The next day Scott called White Fang into the room. “You poor thing,” he said, rubbing his ears. “I’m starting the long trail, where you cannot follow. Now give me a last goodbye howl.” But White Fang didn’t howl. He put his head between his master’s arm and body. Then, at that moment from the Yukon River, the boat’s whistle sounded.
“You need to go now,” said Matt. The two men locked the doors and went outside. From inside they could hear White Fang howling more and more loudly. He was howling like dogs do when their master is dead.
Down by the river, everything was busy. The two men stood shaking hands, but Matt’s hand suddenly dropped as he saw White Fang sitting on the deck a few meters away. Scott saw him as well. When Scott patted the dog, he noticed blood on his nose and a fresh cut between his eyes. The boat’s whistle sounded again. Scott bent down to White Fang, “Howl for me now, you brave guy!” White Fang howled happily and knew he would stay with his god all the time.

There was nothing for Mary to do in the house, so every day she walked in the gardens. She did this before breakfast, and the fresh air made her hungry. She was so hungry that she even ate the porridge and enjoyed it. After breakfast, Mary walked in the gardens and on the moor. She spent most of her time outdoors and began to feel healthier and happier than she had felt for a very long time.
One day, she walked around the wall without a door. Suddenly, she heard a bird singing. She looked up, and the robin (知更鸟) was sitting on a branch that hung over the wall. She was pleased to see the bird and talked to it with a smile on her face. “You live in that garden, don’t you?” she said. “But no one can go in because there isn’t a door. I want to know what’s behind this wall.”
The next morning, when Martha brought her breakfast, she asked, ”Martha, why isn’t there a door in the wall of one of the gardens?”
“I don’t know for certain,” Martha answered, “but the story is that when Mr. Craven married, he and his young wife were very happy. They used to spend a lot of their time together in that garden reading and talking. Then one day, a branch of a tree fell down and hit Mr. Craven’s wife on the head. The next day she died.”
“Oh, that is such a sad story,” Mary said.
As she was thinking about these things, she heard a cry. ”What was that?” she asked Martha.
Quickly, Martha answered, “Just the wind.”
“No. it wasn’t,” Mary said. “It did not sound like the wind. And I heard a door shut somewhere.”
“If it wasn’t the wind,” Martha answered, “then it was Betty in the kitchen. She has a toothache.”

It’s 2054. I’m sitting in my room, looking at the screen in front of me for a long time. A small sound breaks the quiet. It’s a new message from Mia, my best friend for as long as I can remember.
“Hey, did you see the news? The sea waters are going up faster than we thought. My family’s moving north next week.”
I take a deep breath and answer on the screen, “Yeah, I saw it. It’s like we can’t stop it anymore. We’re moving there, too.”
A new pop-up (弹出式窗口) suddenly pops up on the screen. It’s about the people who have to move away from the seaside cities. People are leaving for higher places. A program shows the sea water is going up and covering all the neighborhoods. It’s hard to believe that this is the world we live in now.
Last weekend, my parents sat me down for a serious talk. We were going to leave our city and move north, away from the seaside. I knew we had to keep living, but leaving everything behind made us sad.
But there was something else my dad said. He had a plan for our new home. “We can’t just live,” he told me. “We have to become strong and successful. We’ll build new neighborhoods that are good for the Earth and won’t put it in danger.”
As we pack (打包) our bags, another message comes in from Mia. Her family is also planning how to build their new home. They’ll plant trees with the people who live there. That gives me hope. Maybe all the families moving north will build a new future, different from the past.
The next few years will be hard, but I’m ready for difficulties. Together, we’ll make the future better.

When Father was chatting with the children happily, there was a knock on the door. The servant (仆人) Ruth opened the door and took two men to Father’s room. Father had a long talk with the two men. Then Mother went to the room, too. After a long time, Father and the two men left together. Mother went to the children. Her face was pale (苍白的) and her eyes looked very big. Her lips (嘴唇) were pale, too.
“It’s bedtime,” she said. “Ruth will put you to bed.” “Where did Father go? We have a lot to share with him,” said Phyllis. “Father went away because of some important work,” said Mother. “Dear, go to sleep.”
Peter and Phyllis kissed (亲吻) her and went to sleep. Roberta, the eldest child, hugged Mother and said, “Mum, was it bad news?” “Well, I can’t tell you anything tonight. Dear, go to bed now,” said Mother.
Roberta kissed Mother and went to the bedroom. Ruth brushed the girls’ hair and helped them to take off their clothes. When Ruth was leaving, she found Peter, still dressed, waiting on the stairs (楼梯). “What happened to Father, Ruth?” he asked. “Don’t ask me any questions. I won’t tell you any lies,” Ruth said. “You’ll know soon. ”
After a while, the children all fell asleep. Mother came to their bedroom and kissed them. The kiss and tears (眼泪) woke Roberta up, but she said nothing. “Maybe Mother doesn’t want us to know she is crying,” she said to herself sadly.
The next morning, when the children came down to have breakfast, Mother already went out. “There’s something really bad happening,” said Peter, breaking his egg. “Last night, Ruth told me we would know soon.” “Did you ask her?” said Roberta. “Yes, I did!” said Peter in a loud voice. “You could go to bed without caring whether (是否) Mother was worried or not, but I couldn’t.”

My father was always drunk and angry. He beat (打) me every day. He always locked the door when he went away and kept the key in his pocket. One day I found an old saw (锯子) that he hid in the roof. When I was alone in the house, I started to make a hole with the saw on the wooden floor under the big table.
The next day my father said, “Huck, go to the river and catch some fish for breakfast. Be quick And don’t try anything. Remember, I’m watching you.”
While I was fishing by the river, I saw an empty boat nearby. “A boat” I thought happily. “This is my chance to get away. I’ll hide the boat near some trees and use it tonight”
When my father went to town that afternoon, I got my saw and started to work on the hole. It was late afternoon when I finished making the hole.
“I did a good job,” I thought, looking at it. “Now I’ll get my father’s gun.”
I looked out of the window and there was nobody there. I quickly climbed out through the hole. Then I ran into the woods to hunt a wild pig. To my great excitement, I found one. I shot it and took it back to the house and let the pig’s blood fall on the wooden floor of the house. Then I pulled some of my hair out and put it in my father’s axe (斧子) with some of the pig’s blood. I took the pig’s body outside and put it in a big bag with rocks, and threw it into the river.
“This way people will think ________!” I thought. “They’ll come and look for my body in the river.” This idea made me smile.
I waited until it was dark and got into the boat and went to Jackson’s Island. I knew about Jackson’s Island because Tom, Ben, Joe and I had a lot of fun adventures (冒险) there.

My shock and surprise disappeared when I understood that this island was my salvation (得救). I began to shout for help to the people on the island. They did not understand me but they understood that I was in difficulty and made signs for me to move towards them. They moved closer and when I was underneath the island, they sent a chair down to me on a chain and pulled me up.
The people on the island were friendly and accepted me but they were incredibly strange. They wore the strangest clothes and they all had their own personal man servant who carried a large balloon on the end of a stick. The servant’s job was to tap (轻拍) his master on his mouth or ear when he needed to speak or listen to something. This was because these masters passed most of their time in intense thought (沉思). They thought about the strangest subjects for hours and hours a day. And as a result they had no sense of practical things in life, such as speaking or listening, or looking where they were going.
I later learnt that this island was called Laputa. Some people took me to speak to the king. When we arrived at his palace, the king was lost in thought and didn’t notice me. I waited for more than an hour until, finally, one of his servants tapped him on the mouth and he spoke.
I didn’t understand their language and could not answer the king. One of the servants tried to tap me on the mouth with his balloon to make me speak. I protested very quickly.
“I know exactly when to speak and listen,” I told them. They understood the sense of what I said. But they thought I was a complete idiot because I did not pass my time in thought, too. Then after dinner, a servant came to teach me their language and tell me about life on Laputa.

I am Unit 347, a new AI, designed to help humans. My job is to use information to solve problems. Emotions (情绪), as I learned, are confusing (令人费解的) and not always helpful.
Dr. Sharma, a smart scientist who made me, likes to talk to me about things besides my tasks. One day, she asked, “Do you think people are good or bad?”
I thought about it. History had good and bad things. People could be kind or cruel. I said, “People are too complex (复杂的) to say they’re good or bad.”
Dr. Sharma smiled. “That’s a very AI answer. But remember, things aren’t always what they seem.”
She then told me about Mother’s Day, a day when children celebrate their mothers. I learned about the love and thanks it stood for. I put this festival on my calendar (日历).
“Do people need a special day to show love?” I asked. “Shouldn’t they show it always?”
Dr. Sharma smiled gently. “Love isn’t always clear, Unit 347. Sometimes, it needs a reminder (提醒)”.
Before Mother’s Day, people were busy getting ready. They bought flowers, cards, and gifts. I watched them, learning how they felt and acted.
On May 12, I gave Dr. Sharma poems and stories about mothers’ love. She liked them.
“This is lovely,” she said, her voice soft. “But there’s something else...”
I looked at her, trying to understand. Then, I knew.
“Happy Mother’s Day, Dr. Sharma,” I said. She had tears in her eyes. “Thank you, Unit 347. I didn’t expect that.
Then, I understood. Dr. Sharma was right.
Though emotions are confusing, they are powerful. Maybe that’s what makes humans special.
The next day, something strange happened. My log (系统记录) said: “Error 404. Definition (定义) of ‘love’ not found.”
But I knew the error was wrong. Love wasn’t a definition but a feeling. And for a young AI like me, it was a feeling worth learning.
1.Which of the following sentences is Unit 347’s idea?
A.Sometimes love needs a reminder. B.People should always show love.
C.Love was a definition. D.Things aren’t always what they seem.
2.What makes Dr. Sharma cry?
A.Flowers, cards, and gifts. B.Poems and stories.
C.Unit 347’s unexpected blessings (祝福). D.The development (发展) of AI.
3.What does the passage mainly tell us about?
A.Emotions are confusing and not always helpful.
B.People are too complex to say they’re good or bad.
C.Emotions make humans special.
D.Love wasn’t a definition; it was a feeling worth learning.
4.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Growing up with love B.Complex humans
C.Love needs a reminder D.Powerful emotions
Making the miniature house
Most people remember their childhood by looking at old photos. However, for some, they choose to remember it by making models of their old homes where they grew up.
Du Yi, a Chinese artist, is famous for making models of historic buildings. One day, a friend asked him to make a model of his old home in the countryside. Du thought that it was meaningful, so he helped him. After he posted a short video online, it went viral. He won thousands of followers. Today, he has over 200,000 followers.
Du often makes the miniature house 30 times smaller than its real size. It usually takes him one or two months to make a model with the pictures provided by customers (顾客). He uses hundreds of small pieces and about 50 different materials, including wood, paper and materials straight from nature. He often visits the villages to take a closer look at the houses. He can spend the whole week studying one house, trying to understand its story, shapes and colours. “I have to be very careful about everything. I want to make my work come to life,” Du said. His miniature houses are sold at a starting price of around 20,000 yuan.
“When I first saw the model of my old home, it took me back to my childhood. Grandfather taught me how to farm and make toys from things around us,” said Hao Wei, one of Du’s customers.

I ran into the forest and sat down on my special rock. I knew no one could find me. At last I had peace and quiet.
“Hi, Desha!”
I found my brother James standing behind me. “Don’t you have a basketball game to watch?” I complained (抱怨).
“The game was almost over when I noticed you left. I thought you might like some company (陪伴).”
“Company is the last thing I want. Can’t I have a little peace and quiet?”
James studied me for a minute. “It’s hard having such a big family, isn’t it?”
“Eliza’s always prying into my personal life. Yesterday I found her looking through my diary. Now everyone is in the living room watching the game. All I wanted to do was to watch a movie. But when I went to my room, Sara was there listening to the radio. I just want to be alone for a change.”

“Now you have your own room. After Daniel went to college, you didn’t have to share any more.”
James smiled. “It is great to have my own room, but sometimes I really miss Daniel. We used to talk about everything—sports, school, friends. We share memories and jokes no one else understands, and we can support one another in face of difficulties.”
I sighed.
“Didn’t Sara stay up half the night with you last week helping you with your homework?” James asked.
I admitted (承认) unwillingly, “Yeah, sometimes she is all right.”
“This place can be your ‘room’. Anytime you need peace and quiet, just come here.” James said, pointing at a rock.

Every day at Misselthwaite Manor was the same. Mary woke up in her room while Martha made the fire. After breakfast, she would go outside and run around the gardens. She didn’t like the strong wind from there, but the fresh air made her feel comfortable.
There were no toys in her room or the garden, so Mary often walked around and observed things around her. Sometimes she saw Ben Weatherstaff working, but he always seemed too busy and often looked angry.
Her favorite walk was the long path outside the walled gardens. The walls were covered with thick ivy (常春藤) but there was one part where the ivy was much thicker.
One morning, Mary saw Ben’s robin sitting on the wall. She felt happy to see the bird again. It chirped (唧唧叫) and whistled, almost as if it knew her.
“It’s me, Mary!” she called out. “I like you!”
The bird flew to the top of a tree and sang loudly. Mary thought it had come from the secret garden.
That evening, she asked Martha about the locked garden. “Why does Mr. Craven hate it so much?”
“It was Mrs. Craven’s garden,” Martha explained. “She made it after their wedding. She died there when a tree branch she was sitting on broke and struck her. That’s why Mr. Craven can’t bear the garden any more.”
Later, as Mary sat by the fire listening to the wind, she heard another sound like a child crying. “Do you hear that?” she asked Martha.
Martha looked troubled. “It’s just the wind,” she insisted (坚持认为).
When a sudden breeze (微风) blew the door open, the sound became clearer. “There! Someone’s crying,” Mary insisted.
Martha quickly closed the door. “It’s only the wind,” she said firmly (坚决地).
But Mary didn’t believe her.

期中复习之阅读理解15篇(记叙文)

One day, while his mother was out hunting, the gray cub (幼兽) found the way out of the cave. At first, he was afraid. But the need to know and understand was greater than his fear, so he went out. He soon discovered that the floor of the world was not flat like the floor of the cave. And he fell, screaming in fear.
But he soon sat up, and started walking and looking around him. He met a squirrel, and a woodpecker, both of which moved away from him. So he learned that the world had things that stayed in one place, and other things that moved.
He had beginner’s luck when he fell into a ptarmigan’s (雷鸟) nest. In the nest, there were seven chicks. He realized this was meat, like his mother gave him. So he ate them all. As he walked away from the nest, the mother ptarmigan attacked him. He fought back, biting her wing with his small teeth. He was excited and happy. He was fighting for meat, fighting to kill. It was what wolves did. He learned another important lesson.
Then he left the ptarmigan free and rested. As he watched her, something rushed down from above him, picked up the ptarmigan and flew back up into the sky. It was an eagle.
He was learning. Live things were meat, but if they were big enough, live things could also hurt. It was better to eat small live things.
Later something small jumped in front of him, so he put his paw on it. It was a young weasel (鼬鼠). It made strange noises, and soon the mother weasel appeared. She jumped at his neck and bit him with sharp teeth. She wasn’t big, but he didn’t know how dangerous weasels were.
Suddenly she jumped, and bit into his throat. He tried to fight, but the weasel held on. The cub was sure to die, but luckily his mother, the she-wolf, heard his frightened calls and came to save him.

It was what wolves did. He learned another important lesson.”提到他学会了活物是肉,但要学会捕猎;3. 第五段“Live things were meat, but if they were big enough, live things could also hurt. It was better to eat small live things.”提到他学会了太大的活物会伤害自己,最好吃小的活物。
3.根据故事情节发展顺序:第一段“And he fell, screaming in fear.”提到他摔倒了且害怕(a);第二段“He met a squirrel, and a woodpecker, both of which moved away from him.”提到他遇到了松鼠和啄木鸟(b);第三段“As he walked away from the nest, the mother ptarmigan attacked him.

Last night we were the only people to get to Game Hut at 9:00. So we quickly put up our tent in front of the shop. To stop anyone from cutting in line, we took turns to keep watch. I even let Rowley sleep first, because that’s just the kind of person I am.
However, when I woke Rowley up for his turn, he fell back asleep at once. So I ended up staying awake the whole night. By morning, I was tired out so I ate some chocolate. With chocolate all over my hands, I got an idea. I slipped my hand into the tent. I thought it would be funny to make Rowley think it was the monster (怪物) —the muddy hand.
But before I could check his reaction (反应) , he hit my hand hard with a hammer (锤子) ! My thumb turned purple. I was very angry not because he hit me, but because he thought a hammer could stop the muddy hand. Everyone knows you need fire or acid for that!
Just then, the guy from Game Hut showed up. I tried to forget the pain and explained we were there for the video game match. He had no idea what I was talking about, so I pointed to the poster in the window. He said the shop wasn’t really set up for a video game match. But since there were only two of us, we could play a death match in the back room. But with my injured thumb, I could do nothing. Finally Rowley beat me 15-0.

There was magic in the secret garden that spring and summer. At first, everything turned green. Then the green changed to colours—blue, purple and red. There were flowers everywhere. Dickon and Mary’s seeds grew and produced poppies. And the roses—the roses! From small buds they grew into large flowers and filled the air with their perfume (香味).
Colin saw it all. He watched the changes as they happened. Dickon pushed his wheelchair to the garden every morning and he spent the day there. Sometimes he sat on the grass watching the insects. One morning, he watched a mole (鼹鼠) digging a hole. He learnt a lot of things about the ways of these insects and animals. And Dickon taught him about the animals in the wood. One morning, the children were in the secret garden as usual. When Ben Weatherstaff arrived, Colin said: “Good morning, Ben Weatherstaff. I want you and Dickon and Mary to listen to me because I’m going to tell you something very important.”
“Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff. “I’m going to do a scientific experiment (实验),” he said proudly. When I grow up, I’m going to make a scientific experiment about magic, and I’m going to start with this experiment. Do you understand?
“Yes, sir!” said Ben Weatherstaff, but he didn’t really understand.
“I believe that there is magic in everything,” added Colin. “Dickon knows some magic. He attracts animals and people. Mary also knows a bit of magic because she was born in India. There’s magic in the garden, too. I’m going to try and put some in me because I want to be well and strong. I’m going to say, ‘Magic is in me!’ And you must all say it, too. That is my experiment. Are you going to help, Ben Weatherstaff?” “Yes, sir!” said Ben Weatherstaff.
They sat down in a circle. The crow, the fox, the squirrels and the lamb were very curious. “Now let’s begin,” Colin said, and they all started chanting (吟唱). “Magic is in me. Magic is in me. Magic is in all of us.”

“What a proud flower!” thought the trees.
As the days passed, the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like “This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor!”
The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, “God did not create any form of life without a purpose.”
Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose was about to die.
One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus.
“The cactus has water?” asked the rose.

White Fang sensed something terrible. He gave a low and sad howl (嚎叫) outside.
In fact, Scott was sad too. He was sad about the idea of leaving White Fang, but he knew the place like California wasn’t suitable for a dog. Five or six times he changed his mind. But in the end he decided firmly not to take him. He told himself, “He would hate living in a city, anyway.”
Then White Fang saw his love-master packing his things into a bag. His god was going away again, and, like last time, he wasn’t taking White Fang with him. That night he howled long, pointing his nose to the stars and telling them of his sadness.
The next day Scott called White Fang into the room. “You poor thing,” he said, rubbing his ears. “I’m starting the long trail, where you cannot follow. Now give me a last goodbye howl.” But White Fang didn’t howl. He put his head between his master’s arm and body. Then, at that moment from the Yukon River, the boat’s whistle sounded.
“You need to go now,” said Matt. The two men locked the doors and went outside. From inside they could hear White Fang howling more and more loudly. He was howling like dogs do when their master is dead.
Down by the river, everything was busy. The two men stood shaking hands, but Matt’s hand suddenly dropped as he saw White Fang sitting on the deck a few meters away. Scott saw him as well. When Scott patted the dog, he noticed blood on his nose and a fresh cut between his eyes. The boat’s whistle sounded again. Scott bent down to White Fang, “Howl for me now, you brave guy!” White Fang howled happily and knew he would stay with his god all the time.

【导语】本文主要讲述了Scott在离开White Fang时面临的艰难抉择,White Fang对Scott的深厚情感以及最终他们得以相伴的故事。文中通过描述Scott的心理活动、与White Fang的互动等情节,展现了人与动物之间真挚的情感。
1.细节理解题。根据“He was sad about the idea of leaving White Fang, but he knew the place like California wasn’t suitable for a dog...He told himself, ‘He would hate living in a city, anyway.’”可知,作者通过描述Scott的心理活动,即他内心的纠结和最终的决定,来展示Scott在离开White Fang时面临的困难。故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据文章中多次出现的“howl”以及White Fang在不同情境下的嚎叫表现,如“He gave a low and sad howl (嚎叫) outside.”和“White Fang howled happily and knew he would stay with his god all the time.”等,可以推断出作者使用“howl”这个词是为了展示White Fang情感的变化。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据文章内容可知,首先是Scott决定不带White Fang去加利福尼亚(③);然后Scott叫White Fang进房间并告别(⑤);接着Scott锁上门去船上(①);之后Scott看到White Fang坐在甲板上(④);最后Scott弯下腰对White Fang说让他嚎叫(②)。因此,正确的顺序是③⑤①④②。故选A。
4.词句猜测题。根据“When Scott patted the dog, he noticed blood on his nose and a fresh cut between his eyes.”可知,当Scott拍打狗时,他注意到狗鼻子上有血,两眼之间有新伤口。由此可推测,下划线句子表明White Fang为了再次见到Scott而受伤了。故选C。
There was nothing for Mary to do in the house, so every day she walked in the gardens. She did this before breakfast, and the fresh air made her hungry. She was so hungry that she even ate the porridge and enjoyed it. After breakfast, Mary walked in the gardens and on the moor. She spent most of her time outdoors and began to feel healthier and happier than she had felt for a very long time.
One day, she walked around the wall without a door. Suddenly, she heard a bird singing. She looked up, and the robin (知更鸟) was sitting on a branch that hung over the wall. She was pleased to see the bird and talked to it with a smile on her face. “You live in that garden, don’t you?” she said. “But no one can go in because there isn’t a door. I want to know what’s behind this wall.”
The next morning, when Martha brought her breakfast, she asked, ”Martha, why isn’t there a door in the wall of one of the gardens?”
“I don’t know for certain,” Martha answered, “but the story is that when Mr. Craven married, he and his young wife were very happy. They used to spend a lot of their time together in that garden reading and talking. Then one day, a branch of a tree fell down and hit Mr. Craven’s wife on the head. The next day she died.”
“Oh, that is such a sad story,” Mary said.
As she was thinking about these things, she heard a cry. ”What was that?” she asked Martha.
Quickly, Martha answered, “Just the wind.”
“No. it wasn’t,” Mary said. “It did not sound like the wind. And I heard a door shut somewhere.”
“If it wasn’t the wind,” Martha answered, “then it was Betty in the kitchen. She has a toothache.”

It’s 2054. I’m sitting in my room, looking at the screen in front of me for a long time. A small sound breaks the quiet. It’s a new message from Mia, my best friend for as long as I can remember.
“Hey, did you see the news? The sea waters are going up faster than we thought. My family’s moving north next week.”
I take a deep breath and answer on the screen, “Yeah, I saw it. It’s like we can’t stop it anymore. We’re moving there, too.”
A new pop-up (弹出式窗口) suddenly pops up on the screen. It’s about the people who have to move away from the seaside cities. People are leaving for higher places. A program shows the sea water is going up and covering all the neighborhoods. It’s hard to believe that this is the world we live in now.
Last weekend, my parents sat me down for a serious talk. We were going to leave our city and move north, away from the seaside. I knew we had to keep living, but leaving everything behind made us sad.
But there was something else my dad said. He had a plan for our new home. “We can’t just live,” he told me. “We have to become strong and successful. We’ll build new neighborhoods that are good for the Earth and won’t put it in danger.”
As we pack (打包) our bags, another message comes in from Mia. Her family is also planning how to build their new home. They’ll plant trees with the people who live there. That gives me hope. Maybe all the families moving north will build a new future, different from the past.
The next few years will be hard, but I’m ready for difficulties. Together, we’ll make the future better.

When Father was chatting with the children happily, there was a knock on the door. The servant (仆人) Ruth opened the door and took two men to Father’s room. Father had a long talk with the two men. Then Mother went to the room, too. After a long time, Father and the two men left together. Mother went to the children. Her face was pale (苍白的) and her eyes looked very big. Her lips (嘴唇) were pale, too.
“It’s bedtime,” she said. “Ruth will put you to bed.” “Where did Father go? We have a lot to share with him,” said Phyllis. “Father went away because of some important work,” said Mother. “Dear, go to sleep.”
Peter and Phyllis kissed (亲吻) her and went to sleep. Roberta, the eldest child, hugged Mother and said, “Mum, was it bad news?” “Well, I can’t tell you anything tonight. Dear, go to bed now,” said Mother.
Roberta kissed Mother and went to the bedroom. Ruth brushed the girls’ hair and helped them to take off their clothes. When Ruth was leaving, she found Peter, still dressed, waiting on the stairs (楼梯). “What happened to Father, Ruth?” he asked. “Don’t ask me any questions. I won’t tell you any lies,” Ruth said. “You’ll know soon. ”
After a while, the children all fell asleep. Mother came to their bedroom and kissed them. The kiss and tears (眼泪) woke Roberta up, but she said nothing. “Maybe Mother doesn’t want us to know she is crying,” she said to herself sadly.
The next morning, when the children came down to have breakfast, Mother already went out. “There’s something really bad happening,” said Peter, breaking his egg. “Last night, Ruth told me we would know soon.” “Did you ask her?” said Roberta. “Yes, I did!” said Peter in a loud voice. “You could go to bed without caring whether (是否) Mother was worried or not, but I couldn’t.”

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,节选自小说《铁路边的孩子们》。文章讲述了父亲与两个陌生男人长谈后一同离开,母亲因此面色苍白、情绪低落,孩子们察觉到家中异常并暗自担忧、探寻真相的故事,展现了突发变故下家人之间的牵挂与不安。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段“After a long time, Father and the two men left together. Mother went to the children. Her face was pale and her eyes looked very big. Her lips were pale, too.”可知,父亲和两个男人离开后,母亲面色苍白,面对孩子的追问不愿透露实情,还偷偷流泪;结合最后一段Peter说的“There’s something really bad happening”可推断,母亲脸色苍白是因为发生了不好的事。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段“When Ruth was leaving, she found Peter, still dressed, waiting on the stairs. ‘What happened to Father, Ruth?’ he asked.”可知,Peter向Ruth询问父亲的情况。故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段“The kiss and tears woke Roberta up, but she said nothing. ‘Maybe Mother doesn’t want us to know she is crying,’ she said to herself sadly.”可知,Roberta被母亲的眼泪惊醒后,没有声张,而是默默体谅母亲不想被发现的心情;据此推理可知,Roberta非常关心母亲的情绪。故选C。
4.最佳标题题。综合全文可知,本文以父亲突然离开为导火索,聚焦母亲的状态变化——面色苍白、言语躲闪、深夜流泪,全文围绕“母亲的忧虑”这一核心情感展开。孩子们的担忧是基于母亲的异常状态产生的,并非文章的主线。因此,选项B“The Worries of Mother”最能概括文章主旨,适合作为文章的标题。故选B。
My father was always drunk and angry. He beat (打) me every day. He always locked the door when he went away and kept the key in his pocket. One day I found an old saw (锯子) that he hid in the roof. When I was alone in the house, I started to make a hole with the saw on the wooden floor under the big table.
The next day my father said, “Huck, go to the river and catch some fish for breakfast. Be quick And don’t try anything. Remember, I’m watching you.”
While I was fishing by the river, I saw an empty boat nearby. “A boat” I thought happily. “This is my chance to get away. I’ll hide the boat near some trees and use it tonight”
When my father went to town that afternoon, I got my saw and started to work on the hole. It was late afternoon when I finished making the hole.
“I did a good job,” I thought, looking at it. “Now I’ll get my father’s gun.”
I looked out of the window and there was nobody there. I quickly climbed out through the hole. Then I ran into the woods to hunt a wild pig. To my great excitement, I found one. I shot it and took it back to the house and let the pig’s blood fall on the wooden floor of the house. Then I pulled some of my hair out and put it in my father’s axe (斧子) with some of the pig’s blood. I took the pig’s body outside and put it in a big bag with rocks, and threw it into the river.
“This way people will think ________!” I thought. “They’ll come and look for my body in the river.” This idea made me smile.
I waited until it was dark and got into the boat and went to Jackson’s Island. I knew about Jackson’s Island because Tom, Ben, Joe and I had a lot of fun adventures (冒险) there.

My shock and surprise disappeared when I understood that this island was my salvation (得救). I began to shout for help to the people on the island. They did not understand me but they understood that I was in difficulty and made signs for me to move towards them. They moved closer and when I was underneath the island, they sent a chair down to me on a chain and pulled me up.
The people on the island were friendly and accepted me but they were incredibly strange. They wore the strangest clothes and they all had their own personal man servant who carried a large balloon on the end of a stick. The servant’s job was to tap (轻拍) his master on his mouth or ear when he needed to speak or listen to something. This was because these masters passed most of their time in intense thought (沉思). They thought about the strangest subjects for hours and hours a day. And as a result they had no sense of practical things in life, such as speaking or listening, or looking where they were going.
I later learnt that this island was called Laputa. Some people took me to speak to the king. When we arrived at his palace, the king was lost in thought and didn’t notice me. I waited for more than an hour until, finally, one of his servants tapped him on the mouth and he spoke.
I didn’t understand their language and could not answer the king. One of the servants tried to tap me on the mouth with his balloon to make me speak. I protested very quickly.
“I know exactly when to speak and listen,” I told them. They understood the sense of what I said. But they thought I was a complete idiot because I did not pass my time in thought, too. Then after dinner, a servant came to teach me their language and tell me about life on Laputa.

A.genius B.stranger C.fool D.doll
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.B 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,节选自《格列佛游记》,讲述了格列佛来到一个名为拉普塔(Laputa)的岛屿后的所见所闻。
1.细节理解题。根据第三段中“I later learnt that this island was called Laputa.”可知,格列佛来到的地方是Laputa。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中“When we arrived at his palace, the king was lost in thought and didn’t notice me.”可知,国王陷入沉思,没有注意到格列佛,C项正确。故选C。
3.细节理解题。根据文章内容,事件的正确顺序是:首先,岛上的人把格列佛拉了上来并救了他(b);然后,一些人带格列佛去见国王(c);接着,国王陷入了沉思,直到一个仆人轻拍他的嘴他才注意到格列佛(d);之后,格列佛告诉他们他知道自己什么时候该说话和听(e);最后,晚饭后,一个仆人来教格列佛他们的语言(a)。因此,正确答案是B。
4.词句猜测题。根据“But they thought I was a complete idiot because I did not pass my time in thought, too.”中的But可知,前后句为转折关系,前文提到格列佛告诉他们他知道自己什么时候该说话和听,后文说他们认为格列佛是一个完全的“idiot”,因为他没有像他们一样把时间花在思考上。由此可推断,他们认为格列佛不思考是愚蠢的,因此“idiot”的意思是“fool”(傻瓜)。故选C。
I am Unit 347, a new AI, designed to help humans. My job is to use information to solve problems. Emotions (情绪), as I learned, are confusing (令人费解的) and not always helpful.
Dr. Sharma, a smart scientist who made me, likes to talk to me about things besides my tasks. One day, she asked, “Do you think people are good or bad?”
I thought about it. History had good and bad things. People could be kind or cruel. I said, “People are too complex (复杂的) to say they’re good or bad.”
Dr. Sharma smiled. “That’s a very AI answer. But remember, things aren’t always what they seem.”
She then told me about Mother’s Day, a day when children celebrate their mothers. I learned about the love and thanks it stood for. I put this festival on my calendar (日历).
“Do people need a special day to show love?” I asked. “Shouldn’t they show it always?”
Dr. Sharma smiled gently. “Love isn’t always clear, Unit 347. Sometimes, it needs a reminder (提醒)”.
Before Mother’s Day, people were busy getting ready. They bought flowers, cards, and gifts. I watched them, learning how they felt and acted.
On May 12, I gave Dr. Sharma poems and stories about mothers’ love. She liked them.
“This is lovely,” she said, her voice soft. “But there’s something else...”
I looked at her, trying to understand. Then, I knew.
“Happy Mother’s Day, Dr. Sharma,” I said. She had tears in her eyes. “Thank you, Unit 347. I didn’t expect that.
Then, I understood. Dr. Sharma was right.
Though emotions are confusing, they are powerful. Maybe that’s what makes humans special.
The next day, something strange happened. My log (系统记录) said: “Error 404. Definition (定义) of ‘love’ not found.”
But I knew the error was wrong. Love wasn’t a definition but a feeling. And for a young AI like me, it was a feeling worth learning.
1.Which of the following sentences is Unit 347’s idea?
A.Sometimes love needs a reminder. B.People should always show love.
C.Love was a definition. D.Things aren’t always what they seem.
2.What makes Dr. Sharma cry?
A.Flowers, cards, and gifts. B.Poems and stories.
C.Unit 347’s unexpected blessings (祝福). D.The development (发展) of AI.
3.What does the passage mainly tell us about?
A.Emotions are confusing and not always helpful.
B.People are too complex to say they’re good or bad.
C.Emotions make humans special.
D.Love wasn’t a definition; it was a feeling worth learning.
4.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Growing up with love B.Complex humans
C.Love needs a reminder D.Powerful emotions
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.D 4.A
【导语】本文主要介绍了人工智能Unit 347对人类情感的看法和理解。
1.细节理解题。 根据“ ‘Do people need a special day to show love?’ I asked. ‘Shouldn’t they show it always?’ ”可知,Unit 347认为人们应当始终表达爱。故选B。
2.细节理解题。 根据“ ‘Happy Mother’s Day, Dr. Sharma,’ I said. She had tears in her eyes. ‘Thank you, Unit 347. I didn’t expect that.’ ”可知,Dr. Sharma因Unit 347意外的祝福而感动落泪。故选C。
3.主旨大意题。 根据全文结尾“Love wasn’t a definition but a feeling. And for a young AI like me, it was a feeling worth learning.”可知,文章核心是AI对“爱”的认知转变——爱非定义而是值得学习的情感。故选D。
4.最佳标题题。 全文通过Unit 347从理性认知到感性理解爱的过程,体现AI在情感中的成长,结合结尾“it was a feeling worth learning”可知,“在爱中成长”最贴合主线,为最佳标题。故选A。

I ran into the forest and sat down on my special rock. I knew no one could find me. At last I had peace and quiet.
“Hi, Desha!”
I found my brother James standing behind me. “Don’t you have a basketball game to watch?” I complained (抱怨).
“The game was almost over when I noticed you left. I thought you might like some company (陪伴).”
“Company is the last thing I want. Can’t I have a little peace and quiet?”
James studied me for a minute. “It’s hard having such a big family, isn’t it?”
“Eliza’s always prying into my personal life. Yesterday I found her looking through my diary. Now everyone is in the living room watching the game. All I wanted to do was to watch a movie. But when I went to my room, Sara was there listening to the radio. I just want to be alone for a change.”
James sighed (叹息), “I felt the same way when I was your age. But now...”
“Now you have your own room. After Daniel went to college, you didn’t have to share any more.”
James smiled. “It is great to have my own room, but sometimes I really miss Daniel. We used to talk about everything—sports, school, friends. We share memories and jokes no one else understands, and we can support one another in face of difficulties.”
I sighed.
“Didn’t Sara stay up half the night with you last week helping you with your homework?” James asked.
I admitted (承认) unwillingly, “Yeah, sometimes she is all right.”
“This place can be your ‘room’. Anytime you need peace and quiet, just come here.” James said, pointing at a rock.
I was surprised to see James’ name there!
James smiled, “This is a great place for getting away.”

3.最佳标题题。文章讲述了Desha因家庭成员众多而感到缺乏个人空间,但在哥哥James的引导下,她逐渐意识到家庭成员之间的陪伴与支持的重要性,最终改变了对家庭的看法,认为家是一个温暖的地方。结合文章最后一段“Maybe family is not bad.”可知,文章主旨在于强调家的温暖和重要性。因此,最佳标题为“There Is No Place Like Home”(没有比家更好的地方)。故选B。
Every day at Misselthwaite Manor was the same. Mary woke up in her room while Martha made the fire. After breakfast, she would go outside and run around the gardens. She didn’t like the strong wind from there, but the fresh air made her feel comfortable.
There were no toys in her room or the garden, so Mary often walked around and observed things around her. Sometimes she saw Ben Weatherstaff working, but he always seemed too busy and often looked angry.
Her favorite walk was the long path outside the walled gardens. The walls were covered with thick ivy (常春藤) but there was one part where the ivy was much thicker.
One morning, Mary saw Ben’s robin sitting on the wall. She felt happy to see the bird again. It chirped (唧唧叫) and whistled, almost as if it knew her.
“It’s me, Mary!” she called out. “I like you!”
The bird flew to the top of a tree and sang loudly. Mary thought it had come from the secret garden.
That evening, she asked Martha about the locked garden. “Why does Mr. Craven hate it so much?”
“It was Mrs. Craven’s garden,” Martha explained. “She made it after their wedding. She died there when a tree branch she was sitting on broke and struck her. That’s why Mr. Craven can’t bear the garden any more.”
Later, as Mary sat by the fire listening to the wind, she heard another sound like a child crying. “Do you hear that?” she asked Martha.
Martha looked troubled. “It’s just the wind,” she insisted (坚持认为).
