Passage1
Life inspiring
生活的启示
A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her, she did not know she was going to make it and want to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.
Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen, He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He led them sit and boil, without saying a word.
The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners, He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug. Turning to her he asked," Darling, what do you see?"
Carrots, eggs, and coffee. she replied.
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots, she did and noted that they were soft. Then he asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma.
What does it mean, Father? she humbly asked.
He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had being fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water. Its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however, after they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water .
Which are you? he asked his daughter.
When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
有一个女孩向她父亲抱怨她的生活,她觉得凡事都很艰难,不知该怎样挺过去,想放弃。她厌倦了不断的抗争和奋斗,似乎一个问题刚刚解决,另一个问题马上呈现。
她的父亲是个厨师,他把她带到了厨房。他在三个壶里分别装满了水,然后放到高温的火上烧。很快,壶里的水被煮开了。他往第一个壶里放了些胡萝卜,往第二个壶里放了几个鸡蛋,在最后一个壶里放了些磨碎的咖啡豆,然后,一句话也没说,他由着水把它们煮沸。
女儿咂巴着牙齿发出声响,不耐烦地等着,对父亲的行为感到很纳闷。大约二十分钟后,父亲关掉了火炉,把胡萝卜捞出来,放到一个碗里。又把鸡蛋拣出来放进另一个碗里,接着把咖啡用勺子舀出来倒进一个杯子里,然后转过头来,对她说,“亲爱的,你看到的是什么?”
“胡萝卜、鸡蛋和咖啡。”她答道。
父亲把她带近了这些东西,要她去摸胡萝卜,她摸了之后,注意到,它们变柔软了。然后,他又要她去拿一个鸡蛋并把它敲破,在把壳剥掉之后,她观察了这个煮熟的鸡蛋。最后,父亲要她饮一口咖啡。尝着芳香四溢的咖啡,她微笑起来。
“这是什么意思,父亲?”她谦逊地问道。
父亲解释说,这三样东西面临着同样的逆境——煮沸的水。但它们的反应却各不相同。胡萝卜本是硬的,坚固而且强度大,但受到煮沸的水的影响后,它变得柔软而脆弱。鸡蛋本来易碎,薄薄的外壳保护着内部的液体。但是在经历过煮沸的水以后,它的内部却变得坚硬。不过,最独特的却是磨碎的咖啡豆,当它们被放入煮沸的水之后,它们却改变了水。
“哪一个是你呢?”他问女儿。
当逆境找上你时,你该如何应对呢?你是胡萝卜、鸡蛋,还是咖啡豆?
我的阅读心得:
其实,生活中大部分人是“胡萝卜”,被生活消磨的只剩一副颓废的躯壳;更好一点的是“鸡蛋”,在生活的泥泞里摸爬滚打,从脆弱易碎修炼到圆滑老练;最好的也最难的是“咖啡豆”,不卑不亢,淋漓尽致地融入生活,默默接受着生活所有的苦难与压力,经历岁月沉淀,将生活化为一杯浓浓醇厚的苦咖啡!
愿你是一颗咖啡豆,历经磨难,终能品得生活的馨香!

Passage2
Who gave me the ears?
爱的礼物
"Can I see my baby?" the happy new mother asked.
“我可以看看我的宝宝吗?”初为人母的她开心地问道。
When the bundle was nestled in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.
当裹着的婴儿放到她臂弯里,她掀开裹着婴儿的布,在看到他的小脸时,她不禁倒吸了一口气。医生快速地转过身,透过医院的高层窗户向外看去。婴儿生下来就没有耳朵。
Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was marred. When he rushed home from school one day and flung himself into his mother's arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be a succession of heartbreaks.
时间证明婴儿的听力毫无问题,只是有损他的相貌。一天,当他匆匆从学校跑回家,扑向母亲的怀抱时,她叹了口气,意识到他的生活注定会受到一连串的打击。
He blurted out the tragedy. "A boy, a big boy...called me a freak."
他脱口诉说遭到的不幸:“一个男孩,一个大个子男孩……他喊我怪胎。”
He grew up, handsome except for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music.
他长大了,虽然不幸但还是长得挺帅。颇受同学的欢迎,要不是有缺陷,他很可能当了班长。他对文学和音乐很有天赋和潜质。
"But you might mingle with other young people," his mother reproved him, but felt a kindness in her heart.
“但你可能会和其他年轻人一样。”母亲责备地说,但从心底里觉得很欣慰。
The boy's father had a session with the family physician... "Could nothing be done?"
男孩的父亲与家庭医生商量……“难道真无法补救吗?”
"I believe I could graft on a pair of outer ears, if they could be procured," the doctor decided. So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man.
“我认为可以移植一双外耳,如果能够找到的话。”医生做了决定,于是他们开始寻求一个愿意为这个年轻人做出牺牲的人。
Two years went by. Then, "You're going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it's a secret." said the father.
两年过去了。对儿子说,“孩子,你要住院了。我和你妈找到愿意为你捐献耳朵的人了。但要求保密。”
The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person emerged. His talents blossomed into genius, and school and college became a series of triumphs.
手术获得了巨大成功,一个新人诞生了。他的潜力发展成一个天才,在中学和大学都取得了一连串的成功。
Later he married and entered the diplomatic service. "but I must know," he asked his father, "Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him."
后来他结婚了,进入外交行业工作。一天,他问父亲:“是谁给我的耳朵?谁给了我那么多?我做多少都无法报答他/她。”
"I do not believe you could," said the father, "but the agreement was that you are not to know...not yet."
“我也这样认为,”父亲说,“但是协议上说你不能知道……还不到时候。”
The years kept their profound secret, but the day did come. One of the darkest days that ever pass through a son. He stood with his father over his mother's casket. Slowly, tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal that the mother had no outer ears.
他们的秘密遵守了很多年,但这天终于来了,这也是儿子度过的最黑暗的日子。他和父亲站在母亲的棺材前,慢慢地,轻柔地,父亲向前伸出一只手,掀开母亲浓密的、红褐色的头发:母亲竟然没有耳朵!
"Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut," his father whispered gently, "and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful, did they?"
Passage3
A box full of kisses
装满吻的盒子
The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy.”
The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness. Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each one of us, as human beings, have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses... from our children, family members, friends, and God. There is simply no other possession, anyone could hold, more precious than this.
有这样一个故事,爸爸因为三岁的女儿浪费了一卷金色的包装纸而惩罚了她。家里很缺钱,当孩子想要用包装纸装饰一个挂在圣诞树上的盒子时,爸爸生气了。然而,第二天早上小女孩把盒子作为礼物送给了爸爸,“这是给你的,爸爸。”
女儿的这个行为让爸爸感到尴尬。但是当他发现盒子是空的时候,他的怒火再一次燃烧了。他对女儿喊道,“难道你不知道给别人礼物的时候,里面应该放有东西吗?”女孩抬头看着父亲,眼里含着泪水,“爸爸,盒子不是空的。我把吻放在了盒子里,都是给你的,爸爸。”
爸爸感动极了,他搂住女儿,恳请她的原谅。之后不久,一场事故夺走了小女孩的生命。据说,父亲便将那个小金盒子放在床头,一直陪伴着他的余生。无论何时他感到气馁或者遇到难办的事情,他就会打开礼盒,取出一个假想的吻,记起漂亮女儿给予了自己特殊的爱。
从一个非常真实的意义上说,我们每个人都被赠与过一个无形的金色礼盒,那里面装满了来自子女,家人,朋友及上帝无条件的爱与吻。人们所能拥有的最珍贵的礼物莫过于此了。
Passage1(2025年山东省日照市中考英语真题)
Last summer, my brother, Juan, and I were staying at our grandfather’s house in Mexico. When he was young, our grandfather was an explorer.
One day, we were looking at his books and we found an old map hidden between the pages of a book called Animals of Mexico. On the map there were directions to a secret place, deep in the forest.
Juan wanted to follow the map. “Perhaps we’ll find some treasure!” he said excitedly.
We set off early the next morning. The marks on the map took us deeper and deeper into the forest. The tall trees blocked the sunlight, so it was very dark. Suddenly, we heard a deep loud noise. From the dark corner came out a huge, wild, spotted cat.
“It’s a jaguar (美洲豹),” I breathed as quietly as I could.
Juan froze with fear. My heart was beating really fast, but I calmly looked the jaguar straight in the eyes and tried not to show how scared I was.
“Back away, slowly,” I said to Juan in a low voice.
We walked backwards, very, very slowly. The jaguar took one last look at us, then turned and disappeared back into the darkness.
Juan’s hands were shaking as he looked again at the map.
“We’re here!” he said. “This is Grandpa’s secret place.”
As we turned around, we saw a small, wooden cabin (木屋).
We nervously opened the door and went inside. On the walls, there were photos of beautiful jaguars, like the one we had seen.
Still shaking like a leaf after our adventure, we began to realize that we had, in fact, found a treasure—a place where jaguars live in the wild.
19.What did the brothers decide to do after they got the map?
A.To visit the cabin. B.To look for treasure.
C.To check the marks. D.To travel around Mexico.
20.What did the brothers do when they saw the jaguar?
A.They shouted excitedly. B.They tried to stay calm.
C.They backed away quickly. D.They hid themselves in the dark.
21.Why did the grandfather most likely hide the map?
A.To protect the jaguars’ secret home. B.To test his grandchildren’s bravery.
C.To keep his photos in the cabin safe. D.To remember his exploring experiences.
22.Which of the following can best describe the brothers’ trip?
A.Tiring but educational. B.Funny and relaxing.
C.Dangerous but exciting. D.Challenging and painful.
【答案】1.B 2.B 3.A 4.C
【导语】本文讲述了兄弟俩在祖父家发现藏宝图,按照地图进入森林探险,遇到美洲豹并化险为夷,最终发现了祖父的秘密宝藏——美洲豹的栖息地。
【解析】1.细节理解题。根据“Juan wanted to follow the map. ‘Perhaps we’ll find some treasure!’ he said excitedly.”可知,他们是想去寻找宝藏。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据“I calmly looked the jaguar straight in the eyes and tried not to show how scared I was. ‘Back away, slowly,’ I said to Juan in a low voice.”可知,他们尽量保持冷静,慢慢后退。故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“we had, in fact, found a treasure—a place where jaguars live in the wild.”可知,祖父把地图藏起来,最可能是为了保护美洲豹的秘密家园。故选A。
4.推理判断题。通读全文,兄弟俩在探险过程中遇到美洲豹,非常危险,但最终找到秘密之地,令人兴奋。故选C。
Passage2
任务型阅读(2025年山东省潍坊市中考英语真题)
阅读下面短文,根据短文后的要求答题。
A well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that children who do chores can become more independent and successful when they grow up. In fact, chores are very important to children’s future development, as they bring many benefits (益处).
When children do chores, they can get a sense of achievement because they can see the results soon after finishing the chores. Especially when their parents say thanks for their help and tell them they’ve made the day easier, they will know they are useful and able to help their families. This experience can also encourage children to be more active outside of the family.
What’s more, they will learn that it is everyone’s duty (责任) to take part in the household chores. It helps to stop them from growing up spoiled (惯坏的). Life doesn’t simply offer everything on a plate. It takes much effort to turn what we want into reality.
Besides, they will learn how to manage their time through chores. Doing chores from a young age helps children to get used to them. Children learn to include them in their day with all other activities such as studies and play. Time management is a useful skill, too. When they grow up, they need to balance different parts of their life like work and family.
Chores also teach important life skills. Chores are usually related to household tasks-washing dishes, sweeping the floor, making the bed, etc. These are all life skills that children need to develop. The only way to learn is by doing.
Chores aren’t just about keeping the house clean. They are life lessons.
根据短文内容回答第1-2小题。
41.Why can children get a sense of achievement by doing chores?(12词以内)
42.What does the underlined word it in paragraph 3 refer to?(8词以内)
43.Please translate the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 into Chinese.
根据短文内容,完成下面的结构图,每空两词。
44.
45.
46.
【答案】41.Because they can see the results soon after finishing the chores. 42.taking part in the household chores 43.学习的唯一方法就是实践。 44.many benefits 45.Time management 46.life lessons
【导语】本文介绍了孩子做家务的重要性及其对孩子未来发展的好处。
【解析】25.根据“When children do chores, they can get a sense of achievement because they can see the results soon after finishing the chores.”可知,当孩子们做家务时,他们能够获得成就感,因为做完家务后很快就能看到成果,故填Because they can see the results soon after finishing the chores.
26.根据“What’s more, they will learn that it is everyone’s duty (责任) to take part in the household chores. It helps to stop them from growing up spoiled”可知,参与家务劳动有助于防止他们因娇生惯养而长大,所以it指代“take part in the household chores”,it在原文中作主语,用动名词结构。故填taking part in the household chores。
27.the only way to do sth“做某事的唯一方法”,learn“学习”,by“通过”,doing“做”,故填:学习的唯一方法就是实践。
28.根据“In fact, chores are very important to children’s future development, as they bring many benefits”可知,做家务可以带来许多好处,故填many benefits。
29.根据“Besides, they will learn how to manage their time through chores.”可知,做家务可以让孩子们学习如何管理自己的时间,故填Time management。
30.根据“Chores aren’t just about keeping the house clean. They are life lessons.”可知,家务是人生中的宝贵经验,故填life lessons。

My parents, especially mom, always peeked (窥视) into my room every few minutes, saying “Attention to your books!” or “Why can’t you be like other good students?” Her words 22 me crazy, and she didn’t care about my feelings at all. 23 I tried to tell her I did need space to relax, we always ended up arguing loudly. It felt like a big wall standing between us.
One evening, after another big fight, I locked 24 in my room, feeling really angry. Just then, dad knocked softly and came in. He sat down and said gently, “I know you’ve had a hard time lately. Mom and I only want the best for you, but maybe we’ve done 25 .” His words surprised me.

21.C 22.D 23.F 24.E 25.B 26.E 27.F 28.B 29.A 30.D
【导语】本文通过作者与父母从冲突到和解的故事,阐述了有效沟通在家庭关系中的重要性。
【解析】21.句意:与父母的关系变得越来越糟。根据“…with my parents was getting worse”及备选词可知,应是和父母关系恶化,relationship“关系”。故填C。
22.句意:她的话让我发疯,她一点也不关心我的感受。根据“ Her words... me crazy”及备选词可知,此处考查固定短语“drive sb crazy使某人发疯”,时态是一般过去时,所以谓语动词用过去式。故填D。
23.句意:尽管我试着告诉她我确实需要空间来放松,但最后我们总是大声争吵。“I tried to tell her I did need space to relax”与“we always ended up arguing loudly”在句意上是让步关系,前半句是后半句的让步状语,所以用even though“虽然”引导让步状语从句。故填F。

26.句意:然后,爸爸给我讲了他自己的学生时代——他如何与压力作斗争,也不理解他的父母。根据“dad told me about his...school days”可知,爸爸讲的是他自己的学生时代,his own“他自己的”。故填E。
27.句意:我告诉父母他们的行为如何让我紧张。根据“....their behaviors made me nervous”可知,此处是缺引导宾语从句的关系词,结合备选词可知,应是说父母的行为如何让自己紧张,how“如何”符合语境。故填F。
28.句意:与此同时,我明白他们为我所做的一切好事感到骄傲。根据“...everything good that I do”及备选词可知,应是说“为作者所做的好事感到骄傲”,take pride in“以……为傲”符合语境。故填B。
29.句意:最后,我在父母的帮助下制定了一个新的学习计划。根据“made a new study plan...my parents”及备选词可知,应是说在父母的帮助下制定了计划,with the help of“在……的帮助下”符合语境。故填A。
30.句意:从那时起,我的父母开始更好地理解我,我也学会了清晰地表达自己的想法。根据“express my thoughts...”及备选词可知,此处指清晰地表达自己的所想,clearly“清楚地”符合语境。故填D。
Passage4
短文填空(2025年山东省潍坊市中考英语真题)
阅读下面短文,用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空,必要时可加助动词。
“Where’s Papa going with that axe (斧子)?” said Fern to her mother while they 31 (set) the table for breakfast.
“Out to the pig house,” replied Mrs. Arable. “Some pigs were born last night.”
“I don’t see why an axe 32 (need),” continued Fern. “Well,” said her mother, “one of the pigs is too small and weak 33 (live). So your father has decided to do away with it.”
“You mean kill it?” Fern shouted. “Just because it’s 34 (small) than the others?”
Fern ran outdoors 35 (quick). She caught up with her father. “Please don’t kill it!” she cried. “It’s unfair!”
Mr. Arable stopped 36 (walk). “Fern,” he said gently, “you will have to learn to control yourself.”
“Control 37 (I)?” yelled Fern. “This is a matter of life and death.” She took hold of the axe. “Fern,” said Mr. Arable, “I know more about raising pigs. A weakling usually makes trouble.”
“But the pig couldn’t help being born small, could it?” cried Fern. “If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me?”
Mr. Arable smiled. “But this is different...” “I see no 38 (different),” replied Fern. “This is the worst case I 39 (hear) of since I was born!”
“All right,” he said. “I will let you feed it with a bottle, as 40 (baby) are fed. Then you will see what trouble a pig can be.”
When Mr. Arable returned to the house, he carried a box under his arm. Fern opened the box. There, inside, looking up at her, was the newborn pig.
【答案】
15.were setting 16.is needed 17.to live 18.smaller 19.quickly 20.walking 21.myself 22.difference 23.have heard 24.babies
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个小女孩Fern和她的家人在农场中的一次争论。
【解析】15.句意:当她们在摆放早餐餐具时,弗恩问妈妈。根据“while they…the table”可知,此处描述过去某个时间正在进行的动作,用过去进行时was/were doing的结构,根据they可知,助动词用were,故填were setting。
16.句意:我不明白为什么需要斧头。axe与动词need之间是被动关系,结合don’t可知,此处用一般现在时被动语态am/is/are done的结构,主语axe是单数,助动词用is,故填is needed。
17.句意:其中一只猪太小太弱,无法存活。根据“too small and weak…”可知,固定搭配“too...to...”表示“太……而不能……”,故填to live。
18.句意:仅仅因为它比其他猪小吗?根据“than the others”可知,此处是比较级结构,故填smaller。
19.句意:弗恩迅速跑出门外。此空修饰动词ran,应填副词quickly,故填quickly。
20.句意:阿拉布尔先生停下脚步。根据“Mr. Arable stopped”可知,“stop doing”表示停止正在做的事,故填walking。
21.句意:弗恩反问:“控制我自己?”根据“control yourself”可知,此处反问“控制我自己?”,myself“我自己”,故填myself。
22.句意:我看不出有什么区别。no后面需接名词形式,different是形容词,对应的名词是difference,此处是可数名词单数,结构为no+可数名词单数,故填difference。
23.句意:这是我出生以来听过的最糟糕的事!since+一般过去时的从句,主句用现在完成时have/has done的结构,主语是I,助动词用have,故填have heard。
24.句意:我会让你用奶瓶给它喂食,就像给婴儿喂食那样。根据are可知,此空应填复数形式babies,故填babies。

A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her, she did not know she was going to make it and want to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.
Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen, He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He led them sit and boil, without saying a word.
The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners, He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug. Turning to her he asked," Darling, what do you see?"
Carrots, eggs, and coffee. she replied.
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots, she did and noted that they were soft. Then he asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma.
What does it mean, Father? she humbly asked.
He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had being fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water. Its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however, after they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water .
Which are you? he asked his daughter.
When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
有一个女孩向她父亲抱怨她的生活,她觉得凡事都很艰难,不知该怎样挺过去,想放弃。她厌倦了不断的抗争和奋斗,似乎一个问题刚刚解决,另一个问题马上呈现。
她的父亲是个厨师,他把她带到了厨房。他在三个壶里分别装满了水,然后放到高温的火上烧。很快,壶里的水被煮开了。他往第一个壶里放了些胡萝卜,往第二个壶里放了几个鸡蛋,在最后一个壶里放了些磨碎的咖啡豆,然后,一句话也没说,他由着水把它们煮沸。
女儿咂巴着牙齿发出声响,不耐烦地等着,对父亲的行为感到很纳闷。大约二十分钟后,父亲关掉了火炉,把胡萝卜捞出来,放到一个碗里。又把鸡蛋拣出来放进另一个碗里,接着把咖啡用勺子舀出来倒进一个杯子里,然后转过头来,对她说,“亲爱的,你看到的是什么?”
“胡萝卜、鸡蛋和咖啡。”她答道。
父亲把她带近了这些东西,要她去摸胡萝卜,她摸了之后,注意到,它们变柔软了。然后,他又要她去拿一个鸡蛋并把它敲破,在把壳剥掉之后,她观察了这个煮熟的鸡蛋。最后,父亲要她饮一口咖啡。尝着芳香四溢的咖啡,她微笑起来。
“这是什么意思,父亲?”她谦逊地问道。
父亲解释说,这三样东西面临着同样的逆境——煮沸的水。但它们的反应却各不相同。胡萝卜本是硬的,坚固而且强度大,但受到煮沸的水的影响后,它变得柔软而脆弱。鸡蛋本来易碎,薄薄的外壳保护着内部的液体。但是在经历过煮沸的水以后,它的内部却变得坚硬。不过,最独特的却是磨碎的咖啡豆,当它们被放入煮沸的水之后,它们却改变了水。
“哪一个是你呢?”他问女儿。
当逆境找上你时,你该如何应对呢?你是胡萝卜、鸡蛋,还是咖啡豆?
我的阅读心得:
其实,生活中大部分人是“胡萝卜”,被生活消磨的只剩一副颓废的躯壳;更好一点的是“鸡蛋”,在生活的泥泞里摸爬滚打,从脆弱易碎修炼到圆滑老练;最好的也最难的是“咖啡豆”,不卑不亢,淋漓尽致地融入生活,默默接受着生活所有的苦难与压力,经历岁月沉淀,将生活化为一杯浓浓醇厚的苦咖啡!
愿你是一颗咖啡豆,历经磨难,终能品得生活的馨香!

Passage2
Who gave me the ears?
爱的礼物
"Can I see my baby?" the happy new mother asked.
“我可以看看我的宝宝吗?”初为人母的她开心地问道。
When the bundle was nestled in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.
当裹着的婴儿放到她臂弯里,她掀开裹着婴儿的布,在看到他的小脸时,她不禁倒吸了一口气。医生快速地转过身,透过医院的高层窗户向外看去。婴儿生下来就没有耳朵。
Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was marred. When he rushed home from school one day and flung himself into his mother's arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be a succession of heartbreaks.
时间证明婴儿的听力毫无问题,只是有损他的相貌。一天,当他匆匆从学校跑回家,扑向母亲的怀抱时,她叹了口气,意识到他的生活注定会受到一连串的打击。
He blurted out the tragedy. "A boy, a big boy...called me a freak."
他脱口诉说遭到的不幸:“一个男孩,一个大个子男孩……他喊我怪胎。”
He grew up, handsome except for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music.
他长大了,虽然不幸但还是长得挺帅。颇受同学的欢迎,要不是有缺陷,他很可能当了班长。他对文学和音乐很有天赋和潜质。
"But you might mingle with other young people," his mother reproved him, but felt a kindness in her heart.
“但你可能会和其他年轻人一样。”母亲责备地说,但从心底里觉得很欣慰。
The boy's father had a session with the family physician... "Could nothing be done?"
男孩的父亲与家庭医生商量……“难道真无法补救吗?”
"I believe I could graft on a pair of outer ears, if they could be procured," the doctor decided. So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man.
“我认为可以移植一双外耳,如果能够找到的话。”医生做了决定,于是他们开始寻求一个愿意为这个年轻人做出牺牲的人。
Two years went by. Then, "You're going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it's a secret." said the father.
两年过去了。对儿子说,“孩子,你要住院了。我和你妈找到愿意为你捐献耳朵的人了。但要求保密。”
The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person emerged. His talents blossomed into genius, and school and college became a series of triumphs.
手术获得了巨大成功,一个新人诞生了。他的潜力发展成一个天才,在中学和大学都取得了一连串的成功。
Later he married and entered the diplomatic service. "but I must know," he asked his father, "Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him."
后来他结婚了,进入外交行业工作。一天,他问父亲:“是谁给我的耳朵?谁给了我那么多?我做多少都无法报答他/她。”
"I do not believe you could," said the father, "but the agreement was that you are not to know...not yet."
“我也这样认为,”父亲说,“但是协议上说你不能知道……还不到时候。”
The years kept their profound secret, but the day did come. One of the darkest days that ever pass through a son. He stood with his father over his mother's casket. Slowly, tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal that the mother had no outer ears.
他们的秘密遵守了很多年,但这天终于来了,这也是儿子度过的最黑暗的日子。他和父亲站在母亲的棺材前,慢慢地,轻柔地,父亲向前伸出一只手,掀开母亲浓密的、红褐色的头发:母亲竟然没有耳朵!
"Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut," his father whispered gently, "and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful, did they?"

A box full of kisses
装满吻的盒子
The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy.”
The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness. Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each one of us, as human beings, have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses... from our children, family members, friends, and God. There is simply no other possession, anyone could hold, more precious than this.
有这样一个故事,爸爸因为三岁的女儿浪费了一卷金色的包装纸而惩罚了她。家里很缺钱,当孩子想要用包装纸装饰一个挂在圣诞树上的盒子时,爸爸生气了。然而,第二天早上小女孩把盒子作为礼物送给了爸爸,“这是给你的,爸爸。”
女儿的这个行为让爸爸感到尴尬。但是当他发现盒子是空的时候,他的怒火再一次燃烧了。他对女儿喊道,“难道你不知道给别人礼物的时候,里面应该放有东西吗?”女孩抬头看着父亲,眼里含着泪水,“爸爸,盒子不是空的。我把吻放在了盒子里,都是给你的,爸爸。”
爸爸感动极了,他搂住女儿,恳请她的原谅。之后不久,一场事故夺走了小女孩的生命。据说,父亲便将那个小金盒子放在床头,一直陪伴着他的余生。无论何时他感到气馁或者遇到难办的事情,他就会打开礼盒,取出一个假想的吻,记起漂亮女儿给予了自己特殊的爱。
从一个非常真实的意义上说,我们每个人都被赠与过一个无形的金色礼盒,那里面装满了来自子女,家人,朋友及上帝无条件的爱与吻。人们所能拥有的最珍贵的礼物莫过于此了。
Passage1(2025年山东省日照市中考英语真题)
Last summer, my brother, Juan, and I were staying at our grandfather’s house in Mexico. When he was young, our grandfather was an explorer.
One day, we were looking at his books and we found an old map hidden between the pages of a book called Animals of Mexico. On the map there were directions to a secret place, deep in the forest.
Juan wanted to follow the map. “Perhaps we’ll find some treasure!” he said excitedly.
We set off early the next morning. The marks on the map took us deeper and deeper into the forest. The tall trees blocked the sunlight, so it was very dark. Suddenly, we heard a deep loud noise. From the dark corner came out a huge, wild, spotted cat.
“It’s a jaguar (美洲豹),” I breathed as quietly as I could.
Juan froze with fear. My heart was beating really fast, but I calmly looked the jaguar straight in the eyes and tried not to show how scared I was.
“Back away, slowly,” I said to Juan in a low voice.
We walked backwards, very, very slowly. The jaguar took one last look at us, then turned and disappeared back into the darkness.
Juan’s hands were shaking as he looked again at the map.
“We’re here!” he said. “This is Grandpa’s secret place.”
As we turned around, we saw a small, wooden cabin (木屋).
We nervously opened the door and went inside. On the walls, there were photos of beautiful jaguars, like the one we had seen.
Still shaking like a leaf after our adventure, we began to realize that we had, in fact, found a treasure—a place where jaguars live in the wild.
19.What did the brothers decide to do after they got the map?
A.To visit the cabin. B.To look for treasure.
C.To check the marks. D.To travel around Mexico.
20.What did the brothers do when they saw the jaguar?
A.They shouted excitedly. B.They tried to stay calm.
C.They backed away quickly. D.They hid themselves in the dark.
21.Why did the grandfather most likely hide the map?
A.To protect the jaguars’ secret home. B.To test his grandchildren’s bravery.
C.To keep his photos in the cabin safe. D.To remember his exploring experiences.
22.Which of the following can best describe the brothers’ trip?
A.Tiring but educational. B.Funny and relaxing.
C.Dangerous but exciting. D.Challenging and painful.

任务型阅读(2025年山东省潍坊市中考英语真题)
阅读下面短文,根据短文后的要求答题。
A well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that children who do chores can become more independent and successful when they grow up. In fact, chores are very important to children’s future development, as they bring many benefits (益处).
When children do chores, they can get a sense of achievement because they can see the results soon after finishing the chores. Especially when their parents say thanks for their help and tell them they’ve made the day easier, they will know they are useful and able to help their families. This experience can also encourage children to be more active outside of the family.
What’s more, they will learn that it is everyone’s duty (责任) to take part in the household chores. It helps to stop them from growing up spoiled (惯坏的). Life doesn’t simply offer everything on a plate. It takes much effort to turn what we want into reality.
Besides, they will learn how to manage their time through chores. Doing chores from a young age helps children to get used to them. Children learn to include them in their day with all other activities such as studies and play. Time management is a useful skill, too. When they grow up, they need to balance different parts of their life like work and family.
Chores also teach important life skills. Chores are usually related to household tasks-washing dishes, sweeping the floor, making the bed, etc. These are all life skills that children need to develop. The only way to learn is by doing.
Chores aren’t just about keeping the house clean. They are life lessons.

“Where’s Papa going with that axe (斧子)?” said Fern to her mother while they 31 (set) the table for breakfast.
“Out to the pig house,” replied Mrs. Arable. “Some pigs were born last night.”
“I don’t see why an axe 32 (need),” continued Fern. “Well,” said her mother, “one of the pigs is too small and weak 33 (live). So your father has decided to do away with it.”
“You mean kill it?” Fern shouted. “Just because it’s 34 (small) than the others?”
Fern ran outdoors 35 (quick). She caught up with her father. “Please don’t kill it!” she cried. “It’s unfair!”
