1C “Want to go to the pool tomorrow?” Riya asked Sheetal during break. Riya and Sheetal did everything together. They were best friends. Most of the time. Sometimes, though, when Sheetal was with other friends, she ignored Riya or treated her like a little kid. Today was one of those times. “Sorry. I’m already going to the pool,” Sheetal said. “Tina and Vaidehi and I are going.” She smiled, but it wasn’t her nice smile. She walked away to join Tina and Vaidehi, and Riya was left standing alone. After school, at dance class, Sheetal talked with the other dancers as they stretched (拉伸) in front of the mirror. Riya wanted to join them, but she held back a bit. Then she noticed Zora, the new girl. Riya joined her and began stretching, too. Zora smiled, and Riya smiled back. Riya tried not to check the mirror to see if Sheetal had noticed. I hope she feels left out, Riya thought. The next morning, when Riya boarded the bus, Sheetal was waiting in their usual seat. Sheetal quickly moved her backpack off the seat to make room for Riya. But Riya walked past her and slid into the empty seat next to Zora. How does it feel now? Riya thought. On the bus ride, Riya discovered that Zora was not a quiet girl. She talked a lot-about her little brother, about the tree house her uncle had built, and even about swimming. “I love swimming!” Riya said. “Me, too,” Zora said. “We just joined the YMCA. My dad said he’d take my sister and me tonight.” “It’s awesome there,” Riya said. “Maybe you can come with us tonight,” Zora said. “I’ll ask my dad.” “That would be fun. I’ll ask my mom,” said Riya. When they got off the bus, Sheetal was waiting on the sidewalk. “Did you still want to go swimming tonight?” Sheetal asked Riya. Here’s my chance, Riya thought. “I’m already going together.” She smiled. Somehow she knew it wasn’t her nice smile. Sheetal nodded and looked at her feet. Riya’s face began to burn. Why didn’t she feel happy? It didn’t feel good at all. “Um,” she said instead, “maybe…” 1. What does the underlined “ignored” mean in this story? A. laughed at B. paid no attention to C. cared about D. took notice of 2. How did Riya feel when she held back instead of joining her friend Sheetal at dance class? A. A bit angry. B. A bit nervous. C. A little shy. D. A little ashamed. 3. What did Riya want to say in the end? A. Maybe you could go with others, Sheetal. B. Maybe you could go with your sister, Zora. C. Maybe we could go all together, Sheetal. D. Maybe we could go with your sister, Zora. 2C Gary sat alone on a bench in the park. Some children were playing football on the grass. A small ginger-haired (红头发的) boy ran over to him. “Come and play with us, Mr Football,” he said. “Not today, Terry. Maybe tomorrow.” “OK,” said the boy, and he ran back to join the game. Gary thought how it all seemed to be so easy. He was a fool. He thought it was going to be easy, and that’s why he never really made an effort. He was a fool. Mr Steele was right. He needed more than ability to be a professional footballer. He needed to work hard and be committed (专注的). Everyone had made an effort to help him, and he had let them down. He shouldn’t have been so sure of himself, and he shouldn’t have been so lazy. Everything was a complete disaster - the jobs, his schoolwork, his friendships. Rick was right. He was a loser. He looked at his watch. He was already twenty minutes late for his lesson with Laura. But then he thought, “I’m already a loser. I’ve got nothing to lose. There’s still a chance. There’s always still a chance.” He stood up and walked across the park, then he started to run. He ran fast. He ran all the way to Laura and Matt’s house. Mrs Kelly opened the door. She looked surprised to see him. “Hello, Gary! We thought you weren’t coming,” she said. Laura was in the hallway. She was putting on her jacket. “Gary! I was just going out with mum.” “I’m sorry,” said Gary. “I promise I won’t ever be late again. I’d like you to give me a lesson... if it’s not too much trouble. You see, I really want to pass that test.” Laura looked at her mother. She took off her jacket. “You go without me, Mum,” she said. “Gary and I have got work to do.” “I haven’t seen Gary all week,” said Karen. “I saw him yesterday in the Science lab,” said Joe. “He was helping the teacher.” “That’s very strange,” said Karen. “Do you think he’s all right?” “He’s spending a lot of time with Laura at my home,” said Matt. “And she’s helping him prepare for the Academy entry test.” Gary sat at the dining room table in Matt’s house. He looked worried. Laura sat on the opposite side of the table. She was correcting Gary’s Maths homework. She looked worried too. Then she looked at Gary. “Well?” he said. “It’s brilliant,” she said. “You’re brilliant. You got everything right. I mean, just one small mistake.” She looked doubtful for a moment. “Did someone help you?” “You did,” said Gary. “I couldn’t do it without you.” Laura blushed. “I think you can pass this test, Gary. You’ve got a real talent.” “For football,” said Gary. “For Maths,” said Laura. (Adapted from Mr. Football) 1. Why did Gary think of himself as a fool in the beginning? A. Because he was too proud and lazy. B. Because he lost his friendship with Rick. C. Because he wasn’t so sure about himself. D. Because he didn’t have the ability to be a professional footballer. 2. When Laura blushed, we know the colour of her face may be _________. A dark B. white C. red D. yellow 3. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. Gary’s Maths homework was not finished all by himself. B. Nobody was willing to give Gary a helping hand but Laura. C. It was highly possible for Gary to pass the Academy entry test. D. Karen didn’t meet Gary for a week and was worried about his health. 3C 31．（6分）Dr.Dolittle lived in a small town called Puddleby.Everyone in the town knew him.The dog and children ran after him.He lived in a small house，but he had a large garden.He kept many animals in his garden.His favorite animals were Dab﹣Dab，a duck；Jip，a dog；Gub﹣Gub，a baby pig and Polynesia，a parrot.He also kept some fish，rabbits，cats，a squirrel，a cow and a baby cow，a horse，chickens and so on. Dr.Dolittle didn't have many patients.Most people didn't like all of his animals，so when they were ill，they went to a doctor in another town. "But you don't have any money，" his sister told him. "You need patients." "I have a patient，" Dr.Dolittle answered， "The cat's﹣meat﹣man.He's the man who sells me meat for the cat." "He doesn't pay you enough to live on，" his sister told him. "Then I'll sell everything I have，" he said. And he did.He sold most of his furniture.He also sold most of his clothes.Then he had enough money to buy food for himself and his animals. One day，the cat's﹣meat﹣man said to him， "Why don't you stop being a doctor for people and become a doctor for animals instead？I'm sure that you know a lot about animals—more than most vets.You wrote a wonderful book about cats.I'd send all the people with sick dogs or cats to you." When the cat's﹣meat﹣man left，Polynesia，the parrot，flew onto the table. "He's right，Doctor，" Polynesia said. "You should become an animal doctor." "There are a lot of vets，" Dr，Dolittle said. "Perhaps there are a lot of vets.But you'd be the best vet of all.I'm not the only animal that can talk.All the animals can talk.Each kind of animal has its own language.I'll teach you mine if you like." "Yes，please，" Dr.Dolittle said.He opened a drawer and took out a notebook and pencil. "Will you teach me the parrot's ABCs first？" he asked. Polynesia agreed to teach Dr.Dolittle parrot language.Later that day，Jip came into the room.Polynesia said， "He's talking to you，Doctor." "I don't think he is，" Dr.Dolittle said. "He's just catching（挠）himself." "Dogs talk with their ears，their noses，and their tails，" Polynesia told him.They don't always make a noise.Do you see how he is moving his nose now？" "Yes." "He is telling us that it has stopped raining，and he wants to ask you a question." Every day，Dr.Dolittle learned the languages of the animals.When people found out he was now an animal doctor，they brought their sick pets to him. One day，a horse said to him， "You're a much better animal doctor than the vet.You knew I couldn't see well，and you made glasses for me." The horse was very pleased.He could see very well.He told all his friends how clever Dr.Dolittle was，and they told all their friends.Soon，many animals came to see him.He had a different door for each animal，and he wrote the name of each kind of animal above each door.HORSES，COWS， … Before long，every animal that lived in or near the town became the doctor's patient.He was very happy，and he liked his life very much. —Adapted from The Story of Dr.Dolittle （1）Why did most people go to a doctor in another town when they were ill？ 　 　 A．Because they didn't like all of Dr.Dolittle's animals.

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

At last, Papa would ask, “Is that all?” And when Mama nodded, we could relax a little. Mama would look up and smile, “Good. We do not have to go to the Bank.” We were all so proud of Mama’s Bank Account (账户). It gave us such a good sense of safety. When my brother Nels graduated from grammar school, he wanted to go on to high school. “It will cost a little money,” he said. Hurriedly, we gathered around the table. I took down a box and said this was the “Little Bank”. It was used for emergencies (急事), such as the time when my sister Christine broke her arm and had to be taken to a doctor. Nels listed the costs of the things he would need. Mama counted out the money in the Little Bank. There was not enough. “We do not want to go to the Bank,” she reminded. We all shook our heads. “I will work in Dillon’s store after school,” Nels volunteered. “That’s not enough,” Papa said. Then he took his pipe out of his mouth and looked at it for a long time. “I will give up smoking,” he said suddenly. “I will look after the Elvington children every Friday night,” I said. “Christine can help me.” Now there was enough money. We all felt very good because we didn’t need to draw money out of Mama’s Bank Account. So many things came out of the Little Bank that year: Christine’s dress for the school play, my little sister Dagmar’s operation and so on. No matter what happened, we always knew we still had the Bank to depend upon. That was twenty years ago. Last year I sold my first story. When the check (支票) came, I hurried over to Mama’s and put it in her hand. “For you,” I said, “to put in your Bank Account.” “Tomorrow,” I told Mama, “you must take it to the Bank.” “You will go with me, Katrina?” “That won’t be necessary. Just hand it to the teller (出纳员). He’ll pay it into your account.” Mama looked at me. “__▲__,” she said. “In all my life, I’ve never been inside a bank.” I couldn’t say a single word. “It’s not good for little ones to feel unsafe.” Mama said. 31. What can we learn from the story? A. There are five members in the family. B. Dagmar did a part-time job at that time. C. Nels was a high school student then. D.

The score was tied, 1-1, after half-time. Thinking about what Jordan said, Olivia got into position for the start of the second half. Olivia loved to pass. That was her job as the center midfielder (中前卫). She also loved when all of her teammates, including Makayla, had the chance to touch the ball. But Jordan was right. Makayla never scored before. After the second half began, Olivia received the ball from Jordan. She moved it from foot to foot, keeping it close. Jordan called for the ball up the court, but many of the Green Team members were around her. Directly across from Olivia, Makayla waved (挥舞) her arms. She was all by herself. Olivia used the inside of her foot to pass the ball to her. Makayla took a shot (射门) but she failed again. Jordan was next to Olivia in a second. “I told you,” she said, shaking her head. A few minutes later, Olivia got the ball again. When she looked up, she saw Makayla in the centre of the field. Next to her was Jordan. Both girls were open. This time, Olivia pushed the ball to Jordan. Jordan received the ball, and shot the ball with her left foot. The ball almost came in. “Nice pass,” Jordan said. As the Green Team set up for a goal kick, Makayla ran toward Olivia, but she fell over. “Are you OK, Makayla?” Olivia asked. Makayla stood up. “Yep,” she said. “I know I’m still learning, but I love soccer.” “Me too,” Olivia said. Makayla was smiling wide. Olivia felt exactly the way Makayla did. And she knew that Jordan felt the same way too. The Green Team was trying to have another shot. Olivia held on to the ball. With the ball at her feet, she looked up and there was Makayla, wide open in front of the net. Another midfielder was around Olivia about to attack, and many of the Green Team members were around Jordan. She passed the ball to Makayla. The Green Team’ s goalie (守门员) ran to catch the ball. But before the goalie could get it, the ball bounced off (从……弹开) Makayla’ s body and slowly rolled over the white line. Everyone shouted. Makayla’s mouth dropped wide open. “I did it!” Makayla jumped up and down. “You scored!” Olivia ran up and wrapped her arms with Makayla. “Nice job,” Jordan said and gave her a five with Makayla. Then she whispered to Olivia. She got lucky? Olivia didn’t want to reply to her. All Olivia could think of at that moment was that she loved playing soccer- as part of a team. 1. Why did Olivia pass the ball to Makayla for the second time? A. Because Olivia didn’t trust Jordan any more. B. Because Olivia knew Makayla would succeed. C. Because it was the best choice for Olivia at that time. D. Because they were good friends and knew each other very well. 2. What can you infer from the passage? A. Olivia would stop being friends with Jordan. B. Luck helped Makayla get one score. C. Jordan didn’t trust Makayla’ s football skills. D. Makayla plays football better than Jordan. 3. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Never Give Up B. A Passing Problem C. The Best Midfielder D. An Exciting Match 8C I never thought much about my name until we came to Mango Street. Before that, we were always moving. When the pipes broke at our last apartment and the landlord refused to fix them, that was the final push. My parents found this house, our own house on Mango Street. No rent to pay, no house owner. But it wasn’t the house they had promised. My father, holding a lottery ticket (彩票), would describe our future home: white, with a big yard, real stairs inside, running water, a basement, and three washrooms. My mother, in her bedtime stories, painted the same picture. The house on Mango Street is small and old. Its bricks are crumbling. The windows are small, and the front door is hard to open. There are no great elms (榆树), just four small ones. There’s one washroom for all of us. The stairs are just ordinary hallway stairs. I thought I had accepted this. But a sharp memory often returns. A cleaner from my school saw me playing outside our old flat. “Where do you live?” she asked. “There,” I said, pointing to the third floor with its peeling (脱落) paint. “You live there?” The way she said it made me feel like nothing. This feeling stayed with me, like a quiet friend, until my English class this week. Ms. Rivera asked us to draw our “dream house”. My hand seemed to move on its own, guided by my father’s lottery dreams and my mother’s bedtime stories. I drew a white house with a green yard, real stairs, and three washrooms. I even added a little yellow bird in a tree. Holding up my drawing, I felt a familiar pang of shame. It wasn’t real. But then, Alicia, who also lives on my street, whispered, “It’s beautiful, Esperanza. It looks like a real home.” She didn’t say her home was like that. She said it looked like one. And in that difference, I found a strange comfort. My name means “hope”, but it also means sadness and waiting. Maybe a house is the same. Maybe it can be both what it is and what it could be. I pinned the drawing to my wall. It is not a lie, but a target. For the first time, the distance between Mango Street and that white house feels like a distance I can cross. 1. What does the underlined “crumbling” mean in this story? A. strong and new B. weak and broken C. bright and red D. repaired and clean 2. How did the author’s feeling about her dream house change by the end of the story? A. From shame to acceptance, seeing it as an aim for her future. B. From hope to loss, realizing it was impossible to have one. C. From excitement to boredom, losing interest in the drawing. D. From sadness to anger, saying her parents caused their situation. 3. Which is the best title for the story? A. My Dream House B. A Special Drawing C. The House on Mango Street D. From Loss to Hope 9C The little prince arrived on the Earth. He first met a snake in the desert. “Good evening,” said the little prince politely. “Good evening,” said the snake. “Which is the way to the men?” the little prince asked. “The men are there,” said the snake, “over there. Three or four of them are hunting butterflies. They change their places a great deal. It is hard to find them. The butterflies are much easier to find. Good-bye.” The little prince did not understand what the snake could mean. But he was not afraid. Snakes are not so strong as a little prince. But the snake can bite, and a bite from a snake can be deadly. Then the little prince came upon a garden filled with roses. There were thousands of them. “Aha!” he said. “There are roses everywhere!” He was sad. His rose had told him that she was the only one of her kind in the whole universe. And here were five thousand of them, all alike, in one single garden! “She would be very angry,” he said to himself, “if she saw that... she would cough a lot and pretend to be dying, to avoid being laughed at.” Then he learned that his rose was not the only one of her kind. But to him, she was still the most important one in the whole world, because she was the rose he had tamed. He remembered the time when he had taken care of her, watered her, put a screen around her, and listened to her. After that, he met a fox. “Good morning,” said the little prince. “Good morning,” said the fox. “Will you play with me?” asked the little prince. “I am so unhappy.” “I cannot play with you,” the fox said. “I have not been tamed.” “What does that mean—’tamed’?” asked the little prince. “It is an act too often neglected,” said the fox. “It means to build ties.” “To build ties?” “Just that,” said the fox. “To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world...” The little prince decided to tame the fox. And after some time, the fox was tamed. When it was time for the little prince to leave, the fox was sad. But the fox had also learned something from being tamed. “It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important,” the fox told the little prince. 1. What does the word “tamed” mean according to the fox? A. To be trained to be well-behaved. B. To form a special relationship and connection. C. To make someone or something less wild. D. To become friends with someone. 2. What can we infer from the story? A. The little prince didn’t really love his rose at first. B. The snake was friendly and helpful to the little prince. C. The fox was indifferent to the little prince’s leaving-off. D. The little prince’s experience with the fox made him understand the value of his rose more deeply. 3. What is the main theme of this part of the story? A. The exploration of the little prince on the Earth. B. The little prince’s understanding of love and uniqueness through taming. C The little prince’s meeting different animals on the Earth. D. The little prince’s search for the meaning of life. 10C Recently, a great scientific discovery amazed the world. Chinese scientists have already found a new method to produce water on the Moon, which could change how we think about living on the Moon in the future! They wrote about their discovery in a science magazine called The Innovation. Their discovery shows that by using lunar soil (月壤), scientists can create a lot of water on the Moon. In the past, missions to the Moon showed that there might be ice at the Moon’s north and south poles (极). However, there isn’t much water in lunar soil—only a little bit, like 0.0001 percent to 0.02 percent, which makes it hard to find and use water there. So it’s difficult for people to expect to live on the Moon. The researchers, however, found something exciting, after studying the rocks and soil from the Moon brought back by the Chang’e-5 spacecraft. One of the exciting things they discovered is that lunar soil melts (融化) when it reaches over 1,000℃. When it begins to melt, it produces water vapor (蒸气). They learned that just 100g of lunar soil can give us 5.1g to 7.6g of water. So, if we had one ton of lunar soil, we could get between 51kg and 76kg of water. That’s enough to give drinking water to 50 people for one day! All in all, this research opens up new possibilities for finding water on the Moon. It’s important for future trips to the Moon and people who might live there someday. As we learn more about how to make water from lunar soil, we get closer to the dream of humans living on the Moon. This discovery could help make that dream come true! 1. How much water may scientists get if they have 1,000g of lunar soil? A. B. C. D. 2. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the dream of humans living on the Moon? A. Hopeful. B. Worried. C. Surprised. D. Doubtful. 3. Which would be the best structure of this passage? A. ①/②/③④ B. ①/②③④ C. ①/②③/④ D. ①②/③/④ 11C It was dark. Holmes, Lestrade and I moved towards the house. “Let's wait here,” Holmes said. “We can hide behind these rocks. Watson, go to the house and see what they are doing. Make sure they don't see you.” I hid behinda wall,I could see Mr. Stapleton and Sir Henry sitting at a table. Then, Mr. Stapleton left the room and walked to a shed (棚屋) in the yard. He opened the door and there was a strange noise from inside. After a minute he locked the door and went back into the house. I hurried back to report everything to Lestrade and Holmes. There was now a thick white fog over the moor (荒漠). “The fog is getting thicker,” said Holmes. “This is very serious— Sir Henry must leave Mr. Stapleton's house soon.” Suddenly, we heard footsteps. They got closer and we saw Sir Henry walking towards us through the fog. Then, we heard something. A terrible animal appeared. It was a huge black hound (猎犬). There was fire coming from its mouth and its huge eyes were glowing (发光). The bound ran after Sir Heary. Holmes and I both fired our guns, We hit it but the hound didn't stop. It jumped on Sir Henry and pushed him to the ground. Holmes pointed his gun and shot the hound five times. The giant hound was dead. Sir Henry was lying on the path.

When they arrived, it was already ten minutes past five. “I’m sorry,” said a blonde (金发的) woman at the door of the exam room. “You’re late and the test has already started.” She looked at her notebook. “You must be Gary,” she said. “Everyone came on time. Why didn’t you?” “Please just give me one chance” said Gary. “Something happened. Really, it’s not my fault (过错).” “It’s true,” said Karen, “You have to believe him,” Karen told her the story of the thief. “All right,” she said. “But we can’t give you any extra time. Take a place and don’t disturb (打扰) the others.” Gary looked at the test paper. His heart was beating fast. He remembered what Laura had told him. “Stay calm. Read all the questions carefully first, then think about the time for each question. Make sure you save ten minutes for checking at the end.” He had ninety minutes. He had to do a Maths paper and an English paper. Allowing ten minutes for checking, he had forty minutes for each paper. He set to work. He finished the Maths paper in twenty-five minutes. He checked his watch and started on the English paper. It wasn’t easy. He answered all the questions and checked his watch from time to time. He finished the English paper in thirty-five minutes. Then he read his Maths paper again. He found one mistake. He was glad he had checked carefully. He checked his English paper. He found two grammar mistakes and three spelling mistakes. He made the corrections. He looked through all his answers one more time. He took a deep breath and put down his pen. The room was quiet. He could only hear the sound of pages turning and pens writing. He checked his watch. He had finished fifteen minutes before the end of the test. Then he gave his test paper to the blonde woman. The phone call came next Monday. “This is Mrs. Dexter calling from the Football Academy. We’ve got the results of your test...” Gary fell silent.

Then the green changed to colours— blue, purple and red. There were flowers everywhere. Dickon and Mary’s seeds (种子) grew. And the roses—the roses! From small buds they grew into large flowers and filled the air with their perfume. 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 Colin 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,” he said grandly. “When I grow up, I’m going to make scientific discoveries 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” continued Colin. “Dickon knows some magic. He charms 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.” Then Colin stood up and walked round the garden. He went in front with Dickon on one side and Mary on the other. Ben Weatherstaff walked behind. Colin walked a bit then rested. Then he walked again and rested again. At first he held Dickon’s arm then he walked a few steps alone. “I can walk! The magic worked!” he cried. “ What is the doctor going to say?” asked Mary. “Nothing,” Colin answered, “because we aren’t going to tell him. No one must know that I can walk and run. It’s a surprise for my father when he comes back to Misselthwaite.” “ He’s going to think it’s a dream.” said Mary. —— Adapted from The Secret Garden 1.

When Saturday came, I gathered my courage and explained it all to Mr. Turner, who runs a bakery (面包店): my family’s past situation, the food bank, and my hope to help more people. “Sounds like a wonderful idea, Meghan,” Mr. Turner said, his face breaking into a smile. “And you know I can’t stand food waste.” I couldn’t wait to tell Kyla, my best friend. After I explained everything, her eyes lighted. “That’s great, Meghan!” she exclaimed. Then she added in a conspiratorial whisper, “But maybe we can do even more?” More? That sounded unbelievably exciting! “Tell me,” I urged, “what’s your idea?” “I want to use social media for something positive,” she explained, her voice full of joy. “I’ll write a post online about the food bank and ask for donations.” Pure genius! The plan worked perfectly. With Kyla’s many followers, hundreds saw her post. Over the following weeks, the food bank received a steady stream of donations from local businesses and residents. Maureen, the kind lady who ran it, was always so grateful. She once told us with tears in her eyes, “____51____” About a month later, another piece of good news arrived. “I’ve got a job, Meghan!” Dad shouted one evening. Our family’s situation was finally improving. Even though we were in a better place financially, I kept my job at the bakery—I loved it too much—and I still went to the food bank every Saturday with Kyla to help Maureen. It wasn’t about life’s necessities any more; it was about community. Kyla and I always went to the supermarket, but never before 6:00 p.m.! We loved searching the shelves for yellow-sticker items and sometimes found something cheaper. “What’s kale?” I asked, holding up a bunch of leafy greens. “Looks like a kind of cabbage,” Kyla replied. “Okay, it’s only 45 cents (美分). Maybe I can cook it with these mushrooms and this beef,” I mused. As usual, Kyla slept over at my house that Saturday. We crowded into the kitchen, experimenting with the beef, mushrooms, and the kale. The wonderful smell filled the kitchen, mirroring the warmth we felt. It was a simple meal, but it represented something bigger—a small kindness that had started as a simple idea and grown into a light that brightened our whole community. 1. What can we infer from Mr. Turner’s words “And you know I can’t stand food waste”? A. He supports Meghan. B. He disagrees with Meghan. C. He plans to give Meghan the unsold food. D. He plans to sell the food at a lower price. 2. Which sentence is most suitable for ________? A. You are bringing more than just help; you are bringing jobs. B. You are bringing more than just bread; you are bringing changes. C. You are bringing more than just food; you are bringing hope. D. You are bringing more than just kindness; you are bringing money. 3. What may be the best title of the text? A. The Power of a Small Act B. How Social Media Helps C. A Girl’s Big Idea D. Friendship and Food 15C Daniel, Sandy and Simon are in the lab. Simon: Let’s do an experiment. I fill a jar with water. I cover the top with a piece of cardboard and hold it. Then I turn the jar upside down and take my hand off the cardboard. Can you guess what will happen? Daniel: I think the floor will get wet. We should do this experiment outside, Simon. Sandy: I think the cardboard will hold the water. Daniel: I don’t think so. Sandy: You think the water will pour out, Daniel. I think the water will stay in the jar. Let’s do the experiment to test whose opinion is correct. Simon: Good idea, Sandy. That is called the scientific method. Sandy: I am so sure of my opinion that Simon can do the experiment over your head. I know you won’t get wet. Daniel: Well, let’s try. Simon: Are you ready, Daniel? Daniel: No! Wait! (He puts on a raincoat and sits down.) Now I think I’m ready. Sandy: Simon, take your hand off the cardboard. Daniel: No!(Daniel closes his eyes tightly, and Simon takes his hand off the cardboard. The water stays in the jar.) Sandy: See, Daniel! Daniel: How is that possible? Simon: The force of the air keeps the water in the jar. It is strong enough to hold the water. Daniel: Wow! Simon: So what have we discovered? Sandy: We have discovered the air pressure (压力) helps the cardboard hold the water in the jar. Simon: Right. What do you conclude, Daniel? Daniel: I conclude that air pressure is stronger than I thought. And you, Sandy? Sandy: As for our students, perhaps pressure acts as a catalyst, pushing people to unlock their abilities and grow stronger. 1. How does Daniel feel during the experiment? A. Excited. B. Nervous. C. Tired. D. Unhappy. 2. What keeps the water in the jar according to the result of the experiment? A. Simon’s hand. B. The water pressure. C. The force of the air. D. The force of the jar. 3. What does the script mainly tell us? A. Pressure is of some help to experiments and students. B. Correct conclusions can be only got by doing experiments. C. The air pressure is always strong enough to hold the water. D. When we do not agree with others, doing experiments is helpful.

Sometimes, though, when Sheetal was with other friends, she ignored Riya or treated her like a little kid. Today was one of those times. “Sorry. I’m already going to the pool,” Sheetal said. “Tina and Vaidehi and I are going.” She smiled, but it wasn’t her nice smile. She walked away to join Tina and Vaidehi, and Riya was left standing alone. After school, at dance class, Sheetal talked with the other dancers as they stretched (拉伸) in front of the mirror. Riya wanted to join them, but she held back a bit. Then she noticed Zora, the new girl. Riya joined her and began stretching, too. Zora smiled, and Riya smiled back. Riya tried not to check the mirror to see if Sheetal had noticed. I hope she feels left out, Riya thought. The next morning, when Riya boarded the bus, Sheetal was waiting in their usual seat. Sheetal quickly moved her backpack off the seat to make room for Riya. But Riya walked past her and slid into the empty seat next to Zora. How does it feel now? Riya thought. On the bus ride, Riya discovered that Zora was not a quiet girl. She talked a lot-about her little brother, about the tree house her uncle had built, and even about swimming. “I love swimming!” Riya said. “Me, too,” Zora said. “We just joined the YMCA. My dad said he’d take my sister and me tonight.” “It’s awesome there,” Riya said. “Maybe you can come with us tonight,” Zora said. “I’ll ask my dad.” “That would be fun. I’ll ask my mom,” said Riya. When they got off the bus, Sheetal was waiting on the sidewalk. “Did you still want to go swimming tonight?” Sheetal asked Riya. Here’s my chance, Riya thought. “I’m already going together.” She smiled. Somehow she knew it wasn’t her nice smile. Sheetal nodded and looked at her feet. Riya’s face began to burn. Why didn’t she feel happy? It didn’t feel good at all. “Um,” she said instead, “maybe…” 1. What does the underlined “ignored” mean in this story?

A small ginger-haired (红头发的) boy ran over to him. “Come and play with us, Mr Football,” he said. “Not today, Terry. Maybe tomorrow.” “OK,” said the boy, and he ran back to join the game. Gary thought how it all seemed to be so easy. He was a fool. He thought it was going to be easy, and that’s why he never really made an effort. He was a fool. Mr Steele was right. He needed more than ability to be a professional footballer. He needed to work hard and be committed (专注的). Everyone had made an effort to help him, and he had let them down. He shouldn’t have been so sure of himself, and he shouldn’t have been so lazy. Everything was a complete disaster - the jobs, his schoolwork, his friendships. Rick was right. He was a loser. He looked at his watch. He was already twenty minutes late for his lesson with Laura. But then he thought, “I’m already a loser. I’ve got nothing to lose. There’s still a chance. There’s always still a chance.” He stood up and walked across the park, then he started to run. He ran fast. He ran all the way to Laura and Matt’s house. Mrs Kelly opened the door. She looked surprised to see him. “Hello, Gary! We thought you weren’t coming,” she said. Laura was in the hallway. She was putting on her jacket. “Gary! I was just going out with mum.” “I’m sorry,” said Gary. “I promise I won’t ever be late again. I’d like you to give me a lesson... if it’s not too much trouble. You see, I really want to pass that test.” Laura looked at her mother. She took off her jacket. “You go without me, Mum,” she said. “Gary and I have got work to do.” “I haven’t seen Gary all week,” said Karen. “I saw him yesterday in the Science lab,” said Joe. “He was helping the teacher.” “That’s very strange,” said Karen. “Do you think he’s all right?” “He’s spending a lot of time with Laura at my home,” said Matt. “And she’s helping him prepare for the Academy entry test.” Gary sat at the dining room table in Matt’s house. He looked worried. Laura sat on the opposite side of the table. She was correcting Gary’s Maths homework. She looked worried too. Then she looked at Gary. “Well?” he said. “It’s brilliant,” she said. “You’re brilliant. You got everything right. I mean, just one small mistake.” She looked doubtful for a moment. “Did someone help you?” “You did,” said Gary. “I couldn’t do it without you.” Laura blushed. “I think you can pass this test, Gary. You’ve got a real talent.” “For football,” said Gary. “For Maths,” said Laura. (Adapted from Mr. Football) 1. Why did Gary think of himself as a fool in the beginning? A. Because he was too proud and lazy. B. Because he lost his friendship with Rick. C. Because he wasn’t so sure about himself. D. Because he didn’t have the ability to be a professional footballer. 2. When Laura blushed, we know the colour of her face may be _________. A dark B. white C. red D. yellow 3. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. Gary’s Maths homework was not finished all by himself. B. Nobody was willing to give Gary a helping hand but Laura. C. It was highly possible for Gary to pass the Academy entry test. D. Karen didn’t meet Gary for a week and was worried about his health. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3.

"He is telling us that it has stopped raining，and he wants to ask you a question." Every day，Dr.Dolittle learned the languages of the animals.When people found out he was now an animal doctor，they brought their sick pets to him. One day，a horse said to him， "You're a much better animal doctor than the vet.You knew I couldn't see well，and you made glasses for me." The horse was very pleased.He could see very well.He told all his friends how clever Dr.Dolittle was，and they told all their friends.Soon，many animals came to see him.He had a different door for each animal，and he wrote the name of each kind of animal above each door.HORSES，COWS， … Before long，every animal that lived in or near the town became the doctor's patient.He was very happy，and he liked his life very much. —Adapted from The Story of Dr.Dolittle （1）Why did most people go to a doctor in another town when they were ill？ 　 　 A．Because they didn't like all of Dr.Dolittle's animals.

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

A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述凯利起初在艺术学校并不擅长泥塑，后来精通炭笔素描。班里画画最好的索菲娅坐到了她的身边，凯利却意外发现索菲娅自主创作时的画作水平很差。原来索菲娅进行自主创作时总会陷入瓶颈，她还格外羡慕凯利的创作能力。二人解开心中的顾虑，认可彼此。 【1题详解】 第三段“She’d actually found an art form that she enjoyed—and was good at—and now Sophia was going to  outshine her again? Kelly fought back tears”表明，凯利刚找到自己擅长的素描，担心索菲娅的表现会胜过自己，故outshine表示“胜过，比……做得好”，C选项“Do better than someone”符合。 【2题详解】 第九段“Sophia raised her eyebrows. ‘I might be a really good copier... I’ve loved your works.’ ”和最后一段“ Kelly smiled and turned back to her drawing, looking every so often at Sophia’s work to see that she was taking her advice, down to the last line.”表明，索菲娅擅长临摹但不擅长原创，凯利擅长原创创作，两人都表达了对彼此的欣赏，可知她们发现可以互相学习。 【3题详解】 本文整个故事发生在艺术课上，围绕艺术课里两个学生的经历展开，A选项“The Art Class.”符合最佳标题。 6C Every Saturday night Mama would count out the money Papa had brought home. Mama would put one or two coins to the side. We would watch with worried interest. At last, Papa would ask, “Is that all?” And when Mama nodded, we could relax a little. Mama would look up and smile, “Good. We do not have to go to the Bank.” We were all so proud of Mama’s Bank Account (账户). It gave us such a good sense of safety. When my brother Nels graduated from grammar school, he wanted to go on to high school. “It will cost a little money,” he said. Hurriedly, we gathered around the table. I took down a box and said this was the “Little Bank”. It was used for emergencies (急事), such as the time when my sister Christine broke her arm and had to be taken to a doctor. Nels listed the costs of the things he would need. Mama counted out the money in the Little Bank. There was not enough. “We do not want to go to the Bank,” she reminded. We all shook our heads. “I will work in Dillon’s store after school,” Nels volunteered. “That’s not enough,” Papa said. Then he took his pipe out of his mouth and looked at it for a long time. “I will give up smoking,” he said suddenly. “I will look after the Elvington children every Friday night,” I said. “Christine can help me.” Now there was enough money. We all felt very good because we didn’t need to draw money out of Mama’s Bank Account. So many things came out of the Little Bank that year: Christine’s dress for the school play, my little sister Dagmar’s operation and so on. No matter what happened, we always knew we still had the Bank to depend upon. That was twenty years ago. Last year I sold my first story. When the check (支票) came, I hurried over to Mama’s and put it in her hand. “For you,” I said, “to put in your Bank Account.” “Tomorrow,” I told Mama, “you must take it to the Bank.” “You will go with me, Katrina?” “That won’t be necessary. Just hand it to the teller (出纳员). He’ll pay it into your account.” Mama looked at me. “__▲__,” she said. “In all my life, I’ve never been inside a bank.” I couldn’t say a single word. “It’s not good for little ones to feel unsafe.” Mama said. 31. What can we learn from the story? A. There are five members in the family. B. Dagmar did a part-time job at that time. C. Nels was a high school student then. D. Papa decided not to smoke any longer. 32. Which of the following is the most suitable for __▲__? A. I don’t have free time. B. I don’t have a bank account. C. I’m worried about safety. D. I’m wondering why. 33. Which is the best title for the story? A. Save Money to Stay Safe. B. Work Hard to Support Family. C. Mama and Her Bank Account. D. Mama and Her Family Members. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者一家围绕妈妈的银行账户展开的故事。妈妈通过虚构的银行账户给家人带来安全感，大家为不从该账户取钱而共同努力，多年后作者才得知妈妈从未进过银行，凸显了妈妈对家人深深的爱 。 【1题详解】 文中提到“Then he took his pipe out of his mouth and looked at it for a long time. ‘I will give up smoking,’ he said suddenly.”，直接表明爸爸决定不再吸烟。 【2题详解】 根据后文“In all my life, I’ve never been inside a bank.”可知，妈妈从未进过银行，所以这里最合适的应该是妈妈说没有账户。 【3题详解】 文章围绕妈妈的银行账户展开，讲述了一系列与这个银行账户有关的故事，C选项“Mama and Her Bank Account”能很好地概括文章主旨。 7C “Don’t pass to Makayla. She’s not like us. She’s not serious about soccer.” Olivia’s teammate Jordan whispered as they jogged together onto the indoor soccer field. The score was tied, 1-1, after half-time. Thinking about what Jordan said, Olivia got into position for the start of the second half. Olivia loved to pass. That was her job as the center midfielder (中前卫). She also loved when all of her teammates, including Makayla, had the chance to touch the ball. But Jordan was right. Makayla never scored before. After the second half began, Olivia received the ball from Jordan. She moved it from foot to foot, keeping it close. Jordan called for the ball up the court, but many of the Green Team members were around her. Directly across from Olivia, Makayla waved (挥舞) her arms. She was all by herself. Olivia used the inside of her foot to pass the ball to her. Makayla took a shot (射门) but she failed again. Jordan was next to Olivia in a second. “I told you,” she said, shaking her head. A few minutes later, Olivia got the ball again. When she looked up, she saw Makayla in the centre of the field. Next to her was Jordan. Both girls were open. This time, Olivia pushed the ball to Jordan. Jordan received the ball, and shot the ball with her left foot. The ball almost came in. “Nice pass,” Jordan said. As the Green Team set up for a goal kick, Makayla ran toward Olivia, but she fell over. “Are you OK, Makayla?” Olivia asked. Makayla stood up. “Yep,” she said. “I know I’m still learning, but I love soccer.” “Me too,” Olivia said. Makayla was smiling wide. Olivia felt exactly the way Makayla did. And she knew that Jordan felt the same way too. The Green Team was trying to have another shot. Olivia held on to the ball. With the ball at her feet, she looked up and there was Makayla, wide open in front of the net. Another midfielder was around Olivia about to attack, and many of the Green Team members were around Jordan. She passed the ball to Makayla. The Green Team’ s goalie (守门员) ran to catch the ball. But before the goalie could get it, the ball bounced off (从……弹开) Makayla’ s body and slowly rolled over the white line. Everyone shouted. Makayla’s mouth dropped wide open. “I did it!” Makayla jumped up and down. “You scored!” Olivia ran up and wrapped her arms with Makayla. “Nice job,” Jordan said and gave her a five with Makayla. Then she whispered to Olivia. She got lucky? Olivia didn’t want to reply to her. All Olivia could think of at that moment was that she loved playing soccer- as part of a team. 1. Why did Olivia pass the ball to Makayla for the second time? A. Because Olivia didn’t trust Jordan any more. B. Because Olivia knew Makayla would succeed. C. Because it was the best choice for Olivia at that time. D. Because they were good friends and knew each other very well. 2. What can you infer from the passage? A. Olivia would stop being friends with Jordan. B. Luck helped Makayla get one score. C. Jordan didn’t trust Makayla’ s football skills. D. Makayla plays football better than Jordan. 3. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Never Give Up B. A Passing Problem C. The Best Midfielder D. An Exciting Match 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Olivia在一场室内足球比赛中，不顾队友Jordan的反对，多次传球给新手Makayla，最终Makayla进球的故事，体现了团队合作和信任的重要性。 【1题详解】 由第七段“With the ball at her feet, she looked up and there was Makayla, wide open in front of the net. Another midfielder was around Olivia about to attack, and many of the Green Team members were around Jordan”可知，当时Makayla处于无人防守的最佳位置，而Olivia被对手围攻、Jordan也被多人盯防，传球给Makayla是当时最好的选择。 【2题详解】 第一段Jordan说“Don’t pass to Makayla. She’s not like us. She’s not serious about soccer”，第一次射门失败后她说“I told you”，进球后她私下说“She got lucky?”，这些都表明Jordan完全不信任Makayla的足球技能。 【3题详解】 全文围绕Olivia在比赛中面临的核心矛盾——“要不要把球传给不被队友看好的Makayla”展开，整个故事都围绕这个传球的选择难题，因此“A Passing Problem”（一个传球难题）是最合适的标题。 8C I never thought much about my name until we came to Mango Street. Before that, we were always moving. When the pipes broke at our last apartment and the landlord refused to fix them, that was the final push. My parents found this house, our own house on Mango Street. No rent to pay, no house owner. But it wasn’t the house they had promised. My father, holding a lottery ticket (彩票), would describe our future home: white, with a big yard, real stairs inside, running water, a basement, and three washrooms. My mother, in her bedtime stories, painted the same picture. The house on Mango Street is small and old. Its bricks are crumbling. The windows are small, and the front door is hard to open. There are no great elms (榆树), just four small ones. There’s one washroom for all of us. The stairs are just ordinary hallway stairs. I thought I had accepted this. But a sharp memory often returns. A cleaner from my school saw me playing outside our old flat. “Where do you live?” she asked. “There,” I said, pointing to the third floor with its peeling (脱落) paint. “You live there?” The way she said it made me feel like nothing. This feeling stayed with me, like a quiet friend, until my English class this week. Ms. Rivera asked us to draw our “dream house”. My hand seemed to move on its own, guided by my father’s lottery dreams and my mother’s bedtime stories. I drew a white house with a green yard, real stairs, and three washrooms. I even added a little yellow bird in a tree. Holding up my drawing, I felt a familiar pang of shame. It wasn’t real. But then, Alicia, who also lives on my street, whispered, “It’s beautiful, Esperanza. It looks like a real home.” She didn’t say her home was like that. She said it looked like one. And in that difference, I found a strange comfort. My name means “hope”, but it also means sadness and waiting. Maybe a house is the same. Maybe it can be both what it is and what it could be. I pinned the drawing to my wall. It is not a lie, but a target. For the first time, the distance between Mango Street and that white house feels like a distance I can cross. 1. What does the underlined “crumbling” mean in this story? A. strong and new B. weak and broken C. bright and red D. repaired and clean 2. How did the author’s feeling about her dream house change by the end of the story? A. From shame to acceptance, seeing it as an aim for her future. B. From hope to loss, realizing it was impossible to have one. C. From excitement to boredom, losing interest in the drawing. D. From sadness to anger, saying her parents caused their situation. 3. Which is the best title for the story? A. My Dream House B. A Special Drawing C. The House on Mango Street D. From Loss to Hope 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了主人公Esperanza对芒果街的简陋房屋的复杂情感。她曾因现实与父母描述的梦想之家差距而感到羞耻，但通过绘画和同学的鼓励，她逐渐将梦想之家视为未来的目标，并从中找到希望。 【1题详解】 词句猜测题。 根据第二段“ The house on Mango Street is small and old. Its bricks are crumbling. The windows are small, and the front door is hard to open.”可知，房子又小又旧，砖块状况不佳，窗户小且门难开，说明房子破旧，所以划线单词应表示“破碎的”。选项中“weak and broken”（脆弱且破损）最符合语境。故选B。 【2题详解】 观点态度题。 根据最后一段“Holding up my drawing, I felt a familiar pang of shame… It is not a lie, but a target.”可知，Esperanza最初因梦想与现实的差距感到羞耻，但最终将绘画视为目标，态度从羞耻转为接纳。故选A。 【3题详解】 最佳标题题。全文围绕“芒果街的房子”展开：从搬入芒果街的房子，到对比梦想中的房子，再到在芒果街获得慰藉并确立目标，“The House on Mango Street”是贯穿全文的核心线索。故选C。 9C The little prince arrived on the Earth. He first met a snake in the desert. “Good evening,” said the little prince politely. “Good evening,” said the snake. “Which is the way to the men?” the little prince asked. “The men are there,” said the snake, “over there. Three or four of them are hunting butterflies. They change their places a great deal. It is hard to find them. The butterflies are much easier to find. Good-bye.” The little prince did not understand what the snake could mean. But he was not afraid. Snakes are not so strong as a little prince. But the snake can bite, and a bite from a snake can be deadly. Then the little prince came upon a garden filled with roses. There were thousands of them. “Aha!” he said. “There are roses everywhere!” He was sad. His rose had told him that she was the only one of her kind in the whole universe. And here were five thousand of them, all alike, in one single garden! “She would be very angry,” he said to himself, “if she saw that... she would cough a lot and pretend to be dying, to avoid being laughed at.” Then he learned that his rose was not the only one of her kind. But to him, she was still the most important one in the whole world, because she was the rose he had tamed. He remembered the time when he had taken care of her, watered her, put a screen around her, and listened to her. After that, he met a fox. “Good morning,” said the little prince. “Good morning,” said the fox. “Will you play with me?” asked the little prince. “I am so unhappy.” “I cannot play with you,” the fox said. “I have not been tamed.” “What does that mean—’tamed’?” asked the little prince. “It is an act too often neglected,” said the fox. “It means to build ties.” “To build ties?” “Just that,” said the fox. “To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world...” The little prince decided to tame the fox. And after some time, the fox was tamed. When it was time for the little prince to leave, the fox was sad. But the fox had also learned something from being tamed. “It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important,” the fox told the little prince. 1. What does the word “tamed” mean according to the fox? A. To be trained to be well-behaved. B. To form a special relationship and connection. C. To make someone or something less wild. D. To become friends with someone. 2. What can we infer from the story? A. The little prince didn’t really love his rose at first. B. The snake was friendly and helpful to the little prince. C. The fox was indifferent to the little prince’s leaving-off. D. The little prince’s experience with the fox made him understand the value of his rose more deeply. 3. What is the main theme of this part of the story? A. The exploration of the little prince on the Earth. B. The little prince’s understanding of love and uniqueness through taming. C The little prince’s meeting different animals on the Earth. D. The little prince’s search for the meaning of life. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文的主要内容是小王子在地球上的经历，以及他通过与蛇、玫瑰和狐狸的互动，逐渐理解爱与独特性的过程。 【1题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“It means to build ties.”可知，tamed在此处不是字面上的驯服动物的意思，而是建立情感联系。故选B。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据“‘It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important,’ the fox told the little prince.”可知，狐狸告诉小王子正是他为玫瑰付出的时间使它变得重要，故小王子与狐狸相处的经历让他更加深刻地理解了玫瑰的价值。故选D。 【3题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了小王子通过与蛇、玫瑰和狐狸互动，逐渐理解爱与独特性的过程。故选B。 10C Recently, a great scientific discovery amazed the world. Chinese scientists have already found a new method to produce water on the Moon, which could change how we think about living on the Moon in the future! They wrote about their discovery in a science magazine called The Innovation. Their discovery shows that by using lunar soil (月壤), scientists can create a lot of water on the Moon. In the past, missions to the Moon showed that there might be ice at the Moon’s north and south poles (极). However, there isn’t much water in lunar soil—only a little bit, like 0.0001 percent to 0.02 percent, which makes it hard to find and use water there. So it’s difficult for people to expect to live on the Moon. The researchers, however, found something exciting, after studying the rocks and soil from the Moon brought back by the Chang’e-5 spacecraft. One of the exciting things they discovered is that lunar soil melts (融化) when it reaches over 1,000℃. When it begins to melt, it produces water vapor (蒸气). They learned that just 100g of lunar soil can give us 5.1g to 7.6g of water. So, if we had one ton of lunar soil, we could get between 51kg and 76kg of water. That’s enough to give drinking water to 50 people for one day! All in all, this research opens up new possibilities for finding water on the Moon. It’s important for future trips to the Moon and people who might live there someday. As we learn more about how to make water from lunar soil, we get closer to the dream of humans living on the Moon. This discovery could help make that dream come true! 1. How much water may scientists get if they have 1,000g of lunar soil? A. B. C. D. 2. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the dream of humans living on the Moon? A. Hopeful. B. Worried. C. Surprised. D. Doubtful. 3. Which would be the best structure of this passage? A. ①/②/③④ B. ①/②③④ C. ①/②③/④ D. ①②/③/④ 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国科学家发现利用月壤在月球制水的新方法，这一发现为人类未来在月球生活开辟了新可能。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They learned that just 100g of lunar soil can give us 5.1g to 7.6g of water.”可知，1000g月壤可产水51g到76g左右，对应选项B的量杯图示。故选B。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据“This discovery could help make that dream come true!”可知，作者对人类在月球生活的梦想是充满希望的。故选A。 【3题详解】 篇章结构题。①第一段：介绍科学发现。②第二段：描述过去月球上水资源的困难和挑战。③第三段：详细说明新发现的具体细节和数据。④第四段：总结发现的意义和未来展望。第二段和第三段紧密连接，第二段提出问题，第三段给出解决方案，因此最佳结构是①/②③/④。故选C。 11C It was dark. Holmes, Lestrade and I moved towards the house. “Let's wait here,” Holmes said. “We can hide behind these rocks. Watson, go to the house and see what they are doing. Make sure they don't see you.” I hid behinda wall,I could see Mr. Stapleton and Sir Henry sitting at a table. Then, Mr. Stapleton left the room and walked to a shed (棚屋) in the yard. He opened the door and there was a strange noise from inside. After a minute he locked the door and went back into the house. I hurried back to report everything to Lestrade and Holmes. There was now a thick white fog over the moor (荒漠). “The fog is getting thicker,” said Holmes. “This is very serious— Sir Henry must leave Mr. Stapleton's house soon.” Suddenly, we heard footsteps. They got closer and we saw Sir Henry walking towards us through the fog. Then, we heard something. A terrible animal appeared. It was a huge black hound (猎犬). There was fire coming from its mouth and its huge eyes were glowing (发光). The bound ran after Sir Heary. Holmes and I both fired our guns, We hit it but the hound didn't stop. It jumped on Sir Henry and pushed him to the ground. Holmes pointed his gun and shot the hound five times. The giant hound was dead. Sir Henry was lying on the path. We ran to him and found he was alive. I put my hand on the hound's glowing face and found my own fingers glowed in the dark. “Phosphorous(含磷的),” I said. We walked towards Merripit House to search for Mr. Stapleton. In the house we didn't find him, but we found Mrs. Stapleton tied up in a bedroom. We untied her. When she knew Sir, Henry was alive and the hound was dead, she cried, “Thank God!” “Now we have proof(证据), but we need Mr. Stapleton.” said Holmes. (Adapted from The Hound of the Baskervilles) 1.

At first everything turned green. Then the green changed to colours— blue, purple and red. There were flowers everywhere. Dickon and Mary’s seeds (种子) grew. And the roses—the roses! From small buds they grew into large flowers and filled the air with their perfume. 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 Colin 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,” he said grandly. “When I grow up, I’m going to make scientific discoveries 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” continued Colin. “Dickon knows some magic. He charms 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.” Then Colin stood up and walked round the garden. He went in front with Dickon on one side and Mary on the other. Ben Weatherstaff walked behind. Colin walked a bit then rested. Then he walked again and rested again. At first he held Dickon’s arm then he walked a few steps alone. “I can walk! The magic worked!” he cried. “ What is the doctor going to say?” asked Mary. “Nothing,” Colin answered, “because we aren’t going to tell him. No one must know that I can walk and run. It’s a surprise for my father when he comes back to Misselthwaite.” “ He’s going to think it’s a dream.” said Mary. —— Adapted from The Secret Garden 1.

When Saturday came, I gathered my courage and explained it all to Mr. Turner, who runs a bakery (面包店): my family’s past situation, the food bank, and my hope to help more people. “Sounds like a wonderful idea, Meghan,” Mr. Turner said, his face breaking into a smile. “And you know I can’t stand food waste.” I couldn’t wait to tell Kyla, my best friend. After I explained everything, her eyes lighted. “That’s great, Meghan!” she exclaimed. Then she added in a conspiratorial whisper, “But maybe we can do even more?” More? That sounded unbelievably exciting! “Tell me,” I urged, “what’s your idea?” “I want to use social media for something positive,” she explained, her voice full of joy. “I’ll write a post online about the food bank and ask for donations.” Pure genius! The plan worked perfectly. With Kyla’s many followers, hundreds saw her post. Over the following weeks, the food bank received a steady stream of donations from local businesses and residents. Maureen, the kind lady who ran it, was always so grateful. She once told us with tears in her eyes, “____51____” About a month later, another piece of good news arrived. “I’ve got a job, Meghan!” Dad shouted one evening. Our family’s situation was finally improving. Even though we were in a better place financially, I kept my job at the bakery—I loved it too much—and I still went to the food bank every Saturday with Kyla to help Maureen. It wasn’t about life’s necessities any more; it was about community. Kyla and I always went to the supermarket, but never before 6:00 p.m.! We loved searching the shelves for yellow-sticker items and sometimes found something cheaper. “What’s kale?” I asked, holding up a bunch of leafy greens. “Looks like a kind of cabbage,” Kyla replied. “Okay, it’s only 45 cents (美分). Maybe I can cook it with these mushrooms and this beef,” I mused. As usual, Kyla slept over at my house that Saturday. We crowded into the kitchen, experimenting with the beef, mushrooms, and the kale. The wonderful smell filled the kitchen, mirroring the warmth we felt. It was a simple meal, but it represented something bigger—a small kindness that had started as a simple idea and grown into a light that brightened our whole community. 1. What can we infer from Mr. Turner’s words “And you know I can’t stand food waste”? A. He supports Meghan. B. He disagrees with Meghan. C. He plans to give Meghan the unsold food. D. He plans to sell the food at a lower price. 2. Which sentence is most suitable for ________? A. You are bringing more than just help; you are bringing jobs. B. You are bringing more than just bread; you are bringing changes. C. You are bringing more than just food; you are bringing hope. D. You are bringing more than just kindness; you are bringing money. 3. What may be the best title of the text? A. The Power of a Small Act B. How Social Media Helps C. A Girl’s Big Idea D. Friendship and Food 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Meghan在家庭经济状况改善后，依然坚持帮助社区食物银行，并与朋友Kyla一起通过社交媒体扩大影响力，最终带动整个社区参与捐赠与互助的故事。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Mr. Turner said, his face breaking into a smile. ‘And you know I can’t stand food waste’”可推知他支持Meghan的提议。故选A。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Maureen, the kind lady who ran it, was always so grateful.

Simon: Let’s do an experiment. I fill a jar with water. I cover the top with a piece of cardboard and hold it. Then I turn the jar upside down and take my hand off the cardboard. Can you guess what will happen? Daniel: I think the floor will get wet. We should do this experiment outside, Simon. Sandy: I think the cardboard will hold the water. Daniel: I don’t think so. Sandy: You think the water will pour out, Daniel. I think the water will stay in the jar. Let’s do the experiment to test whose opinion is correct. Simon: Good idea, Sandy. That is called the scientific method. Sandy: I am so sure of my opinion that Simon can do the experiment over your head. I know you won’t get wet. Daniel: Well, let’s try. Simon: Are you ready, Daniel? Daniel: No! Wait! (He puts on a raincoat and sits down.) Now I think I’m ready. Sandy: Simon, take your hand off the cardboard. Daniel: No!(Daniel closes his eyes tightly, and Simon takes his hand off the cardboard. The water stays in the jar.) Sandy: See, Daniel! Daniel: How is that possible? Simon: The force of the air keeps the water in the jar. It is strong enough to hold the water. Daniel: Wow! Simon: So what have we discovered? Sandy: We have discovered the air pressure (压力) helps the cardboard hold the water in the jar. Simon: Right. What do you conclude, Daniel? Daniel: I conclude that air pressure is stronger than I thought. And you, Sandy? Sandy: As for our students, perhaps pressure acts as a catalyst, pushing people to unlock their abilities and grow stronger. 1. How does Daniel feel during the experiment? A. Excited. B. Nervous. C. Tired. D. Unhappy. 2. What keeps the water in the jar according to the result of the experiment? A. Simon’s hand. B. The water pressure. C. The force of the air. D. The force of the jar. 3. What does the script mainly tell us? A. Pressure is of some help to experiments and students. B. Correct conclusions can be only got by doing experiments. C. The air pressure is always strong enough to hold the water. D. When we do not agree with others, doing experiments is helpful. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇实验对话脚本，讲述了Simon、Daniel和Sandy通过“覆杯实验”验证大气压力的存在，展现了科学探究的过程。 【1题详解】 原文中Daniel说“No! Wait! (He puts on a raincoat and sits down.) Now I think I’m ready.”以及“Daniel closes his eyes tightly”，这些细节都体现出他在实验过程中很紧张。 【2题详解】 原文Simon说“The force of the air keeps the water in the jar. It is strong enough to hold the water.”，点明是空气的力量托住了杯中的水。 【3题详解】 全文通过三人提出猜想、进行实验、得出结论的过程，说明实验的重要性，同时Sandy最后也提到压力对学生成长的帮助，综合来看“Pressure is of some help to experiments and students”最能概括主旨。 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
