It always looked like great fun, with kids running up and down over the grass, running after the black and white ball as fast as they could. This year, Sam was old enough to join the beginner team. But he felt nervous (紧张的). Watching games was easy, playing well was hard. He enjoyed practice, but that didn’t mean he was good at playing football. It was easy to kick the ball into the big white net when there was no one stopping him. But it was very different from a real game. The morning of Sam’s first game was here. A tall girl with long blond hair stood in front of him. When the whistle (口哨) blew, she ran right past Sam toward the ball. Before he knew it, she was already passing the ball toward the goal! Sam ran after her, but it was difficult to keep up. A real game felt much longer and harder than practice. Just as Sam was about to stop and take a rest, the ball stopped right in front of his feet. It was his big chance! He gave the ball short kicks all the way down the field. Then, right in front of the net, he gave it one strong kick. Goal! The ball flew into the net! But when Sam turned around, he saw kids in red sport shirts cheering—not his blue teammates. He had scored in the wrong net! His face turned red and hot. He stood still, feeling like he wanted to cry and wouldn’t like to play football any more. Then his teammate Briana ran over and put her arms around him. “Great kick!” she said. Sam looked at her, thinking she was joking, but Briana smiled. “Now run down there and score another one like that, So we can get the same points!” Sam laughed. He felt much better. Briana was a true friend. “Go!” she shouted. And Sam ran toward the ball, ready to try again. 1．What is the right order of the things happened in this story? ①Sam took part in a real football game. ②Sam gave the ball short kicks all the way. ③Briana helped Sam be ready to score another. ④The ball stopped right in front of Sam’s feet.

It was January 1587. We sat in a cold room in Fotheringhay Castle, in the north of England. Through the window, we saw a few houses, a river, some trees, and a road.

It’s nearly twenty years,” she said quietly. I told her James thought of her, but she asked, “Why doesn’t he write?” I said people told him lies (谎言), like she killed his father.

Every Saturday morning, his family went to the town football fields to watch his big brother and sister play. It always looked like great fun, with kids running up and down over the grass, running after the black and white ball as fast as they could. This year, Sam was old enough to join the beginner team. But he felt nervous (紧张的). Watching games was easy, playing well was hard. He enjoyed practice, but that didn’t mean he was good at playing football. It was easy to kick the ball into the big white net when there was no one stopping him. But it was very different from a real game. The morning of Sam’s first game was here. A tall girl with long blond hair stood in front of him. When the whistle (口哨) blew, she ran right past Sam toward the ball. Before he knew it, she was already passing the ball toward the goal! Sam ran after her, but it was difficult to keep up. A real game felt much longer and harder than practice. Just as Sam was about to stop and take a rest, the ball stopped right in front of his feet. It was his big chance! He gave the ball short kicks all the way down the field. Then, right in front of the net, he gave it one strong kick. Goal! The ball flew into the net! But when Sam turned around, he saw kids in red sport shirts cheering—not his blue teammates. He had scored in the wrong net! His face turned red and hot. He stood still, feeling like he wanted to cry and wouldn’t like to play football any more. Then his teammate Briana ran over and put her arms around him. “Great kick!” she said. Sam looked at her, thinking she was joking, but Briana smiled. “Now run down there and score another one like that, So we can get the same points!” Sam laughed. He felt much better. Briana was a true friend. “Go!” she shouted. And Sam ran toward the ball, ready to try again. 1．What is the right order of the things happened in this story? ①Sam took part in a real football game. ②Sam gave the ball short kicks all the way. ③Briana helped Sam be ready to score another. ④The ball stopped right in front of Sam’s feet. A．①③②④ B．①④②③ C．②④③① D．④②①③ 2．What’s TRUE about Sam? A．Sam kicked the ball into the wrong net. B．Sam would not play football any more. C．Sam scored for his team in the beginning. D．Sam has been a member of the team for a long time. 3．What may Sam be like from the passage? A．Kind and smart. B．Shy but careful. C．Friendly and modern. D．Nervous but brave. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 【导语】本文讲述足球新手Sam第一次参加正式足球比赛，意外踢进对方球门，内心十分窘迫，在队友Briana的鼓励下重新振作、准备再次尝试的故事。 1．根据文章情节顺序：首先①Sam took part in a real football game.（Sam参加正式足球比赛）；接着④The ball stopped right in front of Sam’s feet.（足球停在Sam脚前）；然后②Sam gave the ball short kicks all the way.（Sam一路短距离带球）；最后③Briana helped Sam be ready to score another.（Briana鼓励Sam再次射门）。事件顺序为①④②③。 2．根据第五段“He had scored in the wrong net!”可知，Sam把球踢进了错误的球门。 3．根据第二段“But he felt nervous.” 可知Sam内心紧张；文章结尾“And Sam ran toward the ball, ready to try again.”能够看出他鼓起勇气，十分勇敢。所以Sam紧张但是勇敢。 ①Lily is a 12-year-old girl.

Her friends think it is funny...”，it指代前文“talks to them”（跟花说话）这件事。直接说明it指代“跟花聊天”。 2．文章第四段指出“Lily is happy that all of her classmates want to help take care of the garden.”，同学们主动参与照料花园，说明他们变得更加关心园艺。 3．文章第三段描述了同学们想出各种办法（浇水、种新花、制作海报）来帮助花园，说明该段主要讲述学生们如何帮助花园。 4．文章围绕孩子们帮助花园重焕生机展开，“Helpful children and the garden”概括全文主旨。 Every evening the young Fisherman goes out on the sea. He throws his nets (渔网) into the water. When the wind blows from the land, he doesn’t catch any fish. But when the wind blows from the sea, he catches lots of fish and he can sell them at the market. One evening the Fisherman’s net is very heavy. He thinks, “Are all the fish in the sea in my net? Or is there a monster (怪物) in my net?” He tries hard to pull (拉) his net and pulls it in. There are no fish or monsters in his net. But there is a little Mermaid (美人鱼) and she is sleeping. The Mermaid’s hair is golden. Her body is white. Her tail is silver and pearl. Her ears are like sea-shells and her lips are like sea-coral. Her beauty makes the Fisherman very happy. He leans (倚靠) out of the boat. He takes the Mermaid in his arms. She wakes up when he touches her. She cries like a seagull and she wants to escape. But the Fisherman holds the Mermaid in his arms. “Please free me,” the Mermaid cries. “I am the only daughter of the King. My father is old and alone.” “Make me a promise (承诺),” says the Fisherman. “I can free you. But please come when I call you. You can sing to me and to the fish. Then my nets can always be full of fish.” “I promise,” cries the Mermaid. The Fisherman opens his arms and frees the frightened Mermaid. She swims down under the water. —Adapted from The Fisherman and His Soul 1．What does the Fisherman think of his net one night? A．He thinks he catches the Mermaid. B．He thinks he can get no fish at that night. C．He thinks he will be rich. D．He thinks he will get lots of fish or a monster. 2．What is the meaning of the underlined word “escape” in English?

C．The Fisherman promises to come when the Mermaid calls him. D．The best time to catch fish is when the wind blows from the sea. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，改编自《渔夫和他的灵魂》，讲述了年轻渔夫出海捕鱼意外捕获熟睡的美人鱼，二者达成承诺后渔夫放走美人鱼的故事，同时交代了渔夫捕鱼和风向相关的日常规律。 1．第二段指出渔夫当晚看到渔网很重时心想：“Are all the fish in the sea in my net? Or is there a monster in my net?”，这直接说明他认为网里要么捕到了很多鱼，要么是抓到了一只怪物。 2．根据文章第五段“She cries like a seagull and she wants to escape. But the Fisherman holds the Mermaid in his arms.”可知，美人鱼哭着并想要escape，但渔夫把她抱在怀里，她没能成功。由此可推知，escape应表示“离开；逃走”的意思， 3．第六段美人鱼恳求渔夫放了自己时说：“I am the only daughter of the King. My father is old and alone.”，能看出她想要回到年迈孤单的父亲身边陪伴父亲。 4．第一段说明：“when the wind blows from the sea, he catches lots of fish”，这代表海风来的时候捕鱼收获最多，是捕鱼的好时机，D表述正确。 Matthew rode slowly to Bright River on his brown horse. The trip was eight miles long. The road was very pretty. It went past many nice farms. In some places, he saw many trees with beautiful flowers and smelled sweet air from apples. Matthew liked the ride in his own way. When Matthew got to Bright River, he didn’t see any train. He thought he was too early. So he left his horse at a small hotel nearby and walked to the train station. The station was almost deserted. He could only see a thin girl there. Matthew didn’t go to the girl. He looked around and finally found a station worker. The worker was closing the ticket office. He would go home for dinner. “Is the 5:30 train coming soon?” Matthew asked. “The 5:30 train came and left half an hour ago,” answered the worker. “But one passenger (乘客) did get off for you—a little girl. She was sitting over there. I asked her to wait in the ladies’ waiting room, but she said she liked staying outside better.” “A girl?” said Matthew. “But I came here for a boy,” he said slowly. “He should be here. Mrs. Spencer should bring him here from Nova Scotia for me.” The worker looked surprised. “I think there is something wrong,” he said. “Mrs. Spencer got off the train with that girl and asked me to watch her. She said you and your sister were adopting (收养) a girl and that you would come to get her soon. That’s all I know.” “I don’t understand,” said Matthew. He didn’t know what to do and really wished his sister Marilla was there to help with this bad situation (情况). —Adapted from Anne of Green Gables 1．Why did Matthew go to Bright River? A．To buy a train ticket. B．To visit his sister Marilla. C．To have dinner at the hotel. D．To meet a boy from Nova Scotia. 2．The underlined word “deserted” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ________. A．empty B．clean C．busy D．long 3．Where did the station worker ask the girl to wait? A．At the small hotel. B．Outside the station. C．In the ticket office. D．In the ladies’ waiting room. 4．What is the main problem in this part of the story? A．Marilla didn’t come to help Matthew. B．The worker gave Matthew wrong information. C．Mrs. Spencer did not get off at Bright River Station. D．Matthew came for a boy, but a girl was waiting for him. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，节选自《绿山墙的安妮》，讲述Matthew骑马前往Bright River车站，打算领养一名男孩，结果等来的却是女孩，由此陷入不知所措的窘境。 1．第五段指出信息：“He should be here. Mrs. Spencer should bring him here from Nova Scotia for me.”，Matthew前往Bright River是为了迎接一名来自新斯科舍的男孩。 2．第二段指出信息：“The station was almost deserted. He could only see a thin girl there.”，后文交代车站只见到一个瘦弱女孩，几乎没有其他人，由此推断“deserted”含义为空无一人的。 3．第四段指出信息：“I asked her to wait in the ladies’ waiting room, but she said she liked staying outside better.”，车站工作人员原本让小女孩在女士候车室等候。 4．Matthew本来打算领养男孩，但是到站等候他的却是女孩，这构成本段故事最核心矛盾，也就是本段主要问题。 A salt merchant(商人) took his ass(驴) to the seaside where he bought sacks of salt. He loaded the sacks of salt on the ass and set off for home. On the way home, they had to cross a river. The ass slipped and fell into the river. When the ass got to his feet, he found his load was not so heavy because most of the salt had melted in the water. The merchant now had to go back to the seaside and buy more salt. This time,he bought more salt than before. Once again, they came to the river on their way home. This time, the ass made himself fall into the water so that it would melt the salt in the sacks on his back.The merchant saw what the ass had done and was very angry with it for trying to cheat him. He took it back to the seaside and filled the sacks with sponges(海绵) instead of salt. When they reached the river on their way home,the ass again made himself fall into the water. This time, however,the sponges became full of water and the sacks were now heavier than before.                                                        Taken from Aesop’s Fables 1．How many times did the ass fall into the river? A．Once B．Twice C．Three times D．Four times 2．Which of the following is the right order of the story? a.The sacks on the ass’s back were full of water and heavier than before. b.The merchant now had to go back to the seaside and buy more salt. c.The ass slipped and fell into the river when crossing the river by accident(偶然地). d.The merchant saw this and was very angry and wanted to give the ass a lesson. A．bcda B．cdba C．bcad D．cbda 3．The underlined word in Paragraph 2 means _________. A．Turn into air B．Turn into salt C．Turn into sugar 4．What do you think of the ass in the end? A．Clever B．Stupid C．Kind D．Helpful 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文讲述了一头驮盐的驴子偶然落水发现盐变轻后，故意用诡计偷懒，最终被商人用海绵教训的故事。 1．根据文章内容，驴一共掉进河里三次。第一次是第一段提到的“The ass slipped and fell into the river”（意外滑倒）；第二次是第三段提到的“This time, the ass made himself fall into the water”（故意摔倒）；第三次是第四段提到的“the ass again made himself fall into the water”（再次故意摔倒）。 2．梳理故事发展顺序：驴过河时意外滑倒（第一段）；商人不得不回去买更多的盐（第二段）；商人发现驴故意摔倒很生气，想教训它（第三段）；sacks装满水变得比以前更重（第四段，海绵吸水）。故正确顺序为c→b→d→a。 3．单词melted出现在第二段“most of the salt had melted in the water”，结合常识可知，盐在水中会“溶解”，导致负载变轻，Turn into air表示“化为乌有”与此处melted的含义“溶解”最为接近。 4．驴子试图通过故意摔倒来减轻负担，但商人识破了诡计并换了海绵。驴子不知变通，再次故意摔倒，结果海绵吸水导致负担更重。这说明驴子自作聪明实则愚蠢“Stupid”。 Doctor De Soto, the dentist, did very good work, so he had no end of patients (病人). Being a mouse, he didn’t treat (治疗) animals that are dangerous to mice. One day, a fox got a toothache and came to see the dentist. “I cannot treat you, sir!” Doctor De Soto shouted. “Please!” the fox cried loudly. “Be kind, I’m suffering!” “Wait a minute!” Dr. De Soto said. He spoke quietly to his wife, “That fox is so poor. Shall we help him?” Then Mrs. De Soto let the fox in. Doctor De Soto climbed up the ladder and went into the fox’s mouth. He gave the fox some gas, and soon the fox was asleep, “M-m-m, yummy,” he mumbled (含糊地说), “I love eating the mouse with a little salt—so yummy!” Hearing his words, Doctor De Soto was afraid, but he still finished his work. He took out the bad tooth and told the fox to come back the next day for a new one. After the fox went away, Doctor De Soto and his wife made a plan to protect themselves. The next day, the fox came back, wanting his new tooth very much. After putting it in, Doctor De Soto said, “We have a new kind of medicine. It stops toothaches forever. Do you want to try it?” The fox said “yes”. So Doctor De Soto painted it on all his teeth and said, “Close your mouth for a minute.” Soon, the fox found his mouth stuck (被粘住)! “It needs time to work,” Doctor De Soto said. The fox could not open his mouth and eat the mice. He was unhappy and went away.

B．In a biology book. C．In a science book. D．In a geography book. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文改编自《德索托医生》，讲述了医术高超的老鼠牙医德索托，原本不为对老鼠有危险的动物看牙，心软答应牙疼狐狸的求治后，发现狐狸睡梦都想要吃掉自己，最终设计将狐狸的嘴巴粘住，智胜狐狸成功自保的故事。 1．第一段提到“Doctor De Soto, the dentist, did very good work”，说明德索托医生医术高超，因此会有无穷无尽的病人，划线短语no end of patients意为没有尽头的病人，即无数的病人，对应Endless patients。 2．第六段狐狸的梦话提到“I love eating the mouse with a little salt—so yummy”，且此时德索托医生正在狐狸口中为他治疗，可知狐狸含糊说好吃是因为他想要吃掉德索托医生。 3．第五段提到“He spoke quietly to his wife, ‘That fox is so poor. Shall we help him?’ Then Mrs. De Soto let the fox in”，说明德索托同情可怜的狐狸，冒险为他治疗，说明他是善良的（①kind）；最后一段提到“The De Sotos smiled—they had outsmarted the fox”，说明德索托得知狐狸想吃掉自己后，他设计将狐狸嘴巴粘住，成功智胜狐狸自保，说明他是聪明的（③clever）。 4．本文是一篇情节完整的虚构故事，属于故事类文本，最可能出现在故事书中，生物书、科学书、地理书均不符合该文本的类型与内容。 Zhang Xiaoxiao is from a village school in Henan.

Her parents mustn’t find Eco in the conservatory! So she goes downstairs and enters the kitchen. There are leaves and dirt on the kitchen floor. ‘Oh no’ says Holly. ‘Eco? Where are you?’ There’s no answer. So Holly enters the conservatory and it’s a disaster.   First she sees her mum’s plants and flowers. They aren’t all neat and tidy now. The plants are lying on their sides or on the floor. And the pots are broken into a hundred pieces. Then Holly looks at her side of the conservatory . It is a scene of total chaos. And Eco is sitting in the dirt and leaves. ‘All my herbs! All my beautiful plants!’ Eco wags his tail. ‘You bad dog!’ Holly says. ‘Come here!’ Eco looks confused. He doesn’t move. Holly opens the door to the garden. ‘Get out . Do you hear me ? I have to clean up this mess before Mum and Dad get up.’ Eco still doesn’t move. Holly gets really angry now.  This time Eco runs into the garden.   But Holly doesn’t have time to clean up the conservatory. She hears voices behind her. 1．Which is Holly’s dog ?

Where are you?”、“Eco wags his tail”可知，Holly的狗名字叫Eco。 2．根据划线词前的描述“The plants are lying on their sides or on the floor. And the pots are broken...”（植物倒在地上，花盆碎成片）以及后的“Eco is sitting in the dirt and leaves”（Eco 坐在泥土和树叶中），可以看出现场非常杂乱无章，因此chaos意为“混乱”。 3．首先③ Holly asks her father for a pet dog.（故事起点），接着⑤ Holly’s family visit an animal rescue centre.（要养狗，必须先去救助中心），然后④ Holly finds Eco in the garage.（在救助中心里找到Eco），之后① Eco makes a big mess and runs away!（带回家后闯祸），最后② One morning Holly’s parents have a terrible surprise.（父母发现混乱，故事结尾）。 Two hours later and it’s time for the local evening news. The first story is short. A girl is missing. “Where is Penny?” asks the newsreader. Jane is watching the news. She sees Penny’s picture and she immediately phones the police. Lucy is also watching the news. She phones the police, too. They both tell the police about Penny and Socks. The police tell the headteacher and Penny’s parents about Socks. “So there is a connection,” says the headteacher. “Penny finds Socks. She doesn’t know what to do with him.

After paying, he would pick one, try a piece of it and say it tasted bad before giving it back to her. The old woman would eat the orange, smile and say, “It’s delicious.” But by then, the man was already gone (离开的). One day, the man’s wife (妻子) asked him, “The oranges are always sweet, so why do you do that?” “The old woman sells sweet oranges, but she never eats them herself; I do this so she’ll try one without losing money,” the man answered. A boy saw this happen every day. He asked the old woman, “Why do you keep giving him extra (额外的) oranges even though he’s unfriendly to you? ” The old woman smiled and said, “I know what he's trying to do. He wants me to eat an orange. So, it’s not really like I’m giving him more oranges—his kindness makes up the difference.” Caring about others also brings more love to yourself.

There isn’t much light because the sunshine can’t get through the branches of the trees. There aren’t many birds now. They like sunny fields, not dark forests. The only noises (噪音) are strange noises. Animal noise! Dorothy wonders what kind of animals are making the noises. Toto knows. Dangerous wild animals! He stays very near Dorothy. Suddenly a big lion jumps out of the trees. It roars (吼叫) loudly. It hits (攻击) the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman with its paws and they fall over (摔倒). Toto runs up to it and barks. The Lion opens its mouth and shows its teeth. Dorothy forgets to be afraid. She can only think about Toto. She goes up to the Lion and hits it on the nose with her basket. “Don’t bite my dog!” she cries angrily. “He’s very small, and you’re big.” The Lion rubs his nose with his paw. “You’re a coward (胆小鬼)!” she says. “I know,” the Lion replies sadly and starts crying. “I make a lot of noise, but I’m not brave (勇敢的) like other lions. I haven’t got any courage.” Now Dorothy feels sorry for him. “We’re going to the Emerald City to see the Great Oz,” she says. “I want to ask him to send me back to Kansas. The Scarecrow wants to ask him for a brain and the Tin Woodman wants to ask him for a heart. Come with us! You can ask him for some courage.” The cowardly Lion smiles. “Thank you,” he says. The four travellers set off down the road to the Emerald City. The Lion walks next to Dorothy.

Animal noise!”以及第二段“Suddenly a big lion jumps out of the trees. It roars loudly.”可知，奇怪的噪音是动物发出的，而后面提到突然跳出一只大狮子并大声吼叫，因此可以推断噪音是狮子发出的。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据第六段狮子的话“I make a lot of noise but I’m not brave like other lions. I haven’t got any courage.”可知，狮子说自己会制造很多噪音，但不像其他狮子那样勇敢，因此可以推断“courage”意为“勇气”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第二段“Suddenly a big lion jumps out of the trees. It roars loudly. It hits the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman with its paws and they fall over.”可知，狮子跳出树并大声吼叫，然后攻击了稻草人和铁皮人，他们摔倒了，即④③；再根据“She goes up to the Lion and hits it on the nose with her basket.”可知，Dorothy用篮子打了狮子的鼻子，即①；最后根据倒数第二段“The four travellers set off down the road to the Emerald City.”可知，狮子和Dorothy一起出发去翡翠城，即②。因此正确的顺序是④③①②。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段“Don’t bite my dog!” she cries angrily. “He’s very small and you’re big.”以及“She goes up to the Lion and hits it on the nose with her basket.”可知，Dorothy为了保护小狗Toto勇敢地打了狮子，可以推断出Dorothy很善良，并且和她的狗关系很好。故选C。 My name is Bess Curle. This is not my story—it is about my lady, Mary, Queen of Scots. It was January 1587. We sat in a cold room in Fotheringhay Castle, in the north of England. Through the window, we saw a few houses, a river, some trees, and a road. The road went to London, where Queen Elizabeth of England lived. Mary sat all day, holding her little dog and watching the road. “No one will come,” I said unhappily. “Queens don’t kill (杀死) queens.” “Why are we here, then?” Mary asked. “Because Elizabeth is afraid (害怕) of me. She hates me too—many people say I am the true Queen of England, not her.” She turned away from the window. “My son James…I last saw him when he was ten months old. It’s nearly twenty years,” she said quietly. I told her James thought of her, but she asked, “Why doesn’t he write?” I said people told him lies (谎言), like she killed his father. Mary’s face went white with anger. “It’s a lie,” she said. Then she sat down, tired. “Give me a pen. I’ll write to James. Tell him the true story. You can give it to him when I’m dead.” —Excerpt from Mary, Queen of Scots 1．Where did the story happen? A．Near a river. B．In a warm room. C．In a castle room. D．In a London house. 2．Why did Mary watch the road all day? A．She waited for her little dog. B．She wanted to see Queen Elizabeth. C．She liked watching the trees and horses.
