I can still remember the first Halloween holiday I had in the US. On the morning of Halloween, we paid a visit to a pumpkin farm. Each of us brought a pumpkin to school with us. I used the pumpkin to make a lantern which had two triangular eyes and a scary mouth. In the afternoon, we put on the Halloween costumes and went on parade in school. Some of the costumes were nice, but some of them looked scary. I chose to wear a suit of Superman’s clothes. I did a lot of things that day, but the part I liked best was “trick or treat” in the evening. After dinner, I went outside with an empty bag. I hoped to get a lot of candies from people. At first, I was a bit nervous, so when I knocked on the door, my heart was beating very fast. A lady came out, and I said carefully to her, “Trick or treat.” My voice was very low, and even I could hardly hear it. To my surprise, the lady was so kind to give me two candy bars, and I was so excited, I thanked the lady and moved on. I couldn’t remember how many houses I visited, but I could remember how many candies I got—I got 91 candies that day, and I was so proud of myself. What a happy Halloween I had!

They hold a person up and help the person to move. But Sam’s bones don’t do this for him. Sam was born with brittle bone disease. He has never walked. Most people don’t have bones that break very easily. Sometimes bones break when people fall or crash into something. Sam’s bones are so fragile, that they can break if he just coughs or sneezes. Learning About Sam When Sam was young, he was always breaking bones. If he got a fright, he could break some bones or crack a rib. He never liked fireworks. A sudden loud bang would scare him so much that he could break some bones. Sam’s family had to learn how fragile he was. When he was a baby, it was very difficult for them. If he was put down to sleep the wrong way, he could easily break an arm or a leg. Not Growing, Never Walking No one knew much about what would happen to Sam. His friends grew taller, but he didn’t. Sam didn’t let how he looked worry him. “How we look on the outside,” he said, “is only a small part of who we are.” Sam wanted to do everything that his friends did. Doctors put metal pins in his legs to make them stronger, but the pins didn’t help him walk. So Sam needed wheelchairs. Sam’s Wheelchairs Sam had wheelchairs to take him to different places. He had a small, folding wheelchair when he went flying in a two-seater plane. He had some wheelchairs for going over sand and others that would take him over muddy, rocky places. One day, Sam’s wheelchair got stuck in some mud. There was no one around to help him, so he had to crawl home on his stomach. Sam’s Idea Sam has been to many places in the world. He has been down rivers and in rainforests. If he couldn’t get somewhere in his chair, people carried him. One day, when Sam was in the mountains, his wheelchair broke. He knew a lot about chairs, but he couldn’t fix this one. Then, he had an idea. He would invent a new and different wheelchair. A Big Message So Sam invented a chair that he can do everything in. Now, people all over the world are using his chair. Sam will always be small. He will never be able to walk. But he says, “There is always a way to do everything. It may not be the way most people do things. It may take a while to work it out, but there is always a way.” This is just a little of Sam’s story with a big message. 1．What makes Sam’s bones different from most people’s? ___________________________________________________________ 2．Why did Sam never like fireworks when he was young? __________________________________________________________ 3．What didn’t the metal pins in Sam’s legs help him do? ________________________________________________________ 4．What made Sam decide to invent a new wheelchair? __________________________________________________________ 5．What spiritual strength can we gain from Sam’s experience when facing unchangeable difficulties? _____________________________________________________________ 【答案】1．Sam’s bones are very fragile and break easily even with a cough or sneeze. 2．A sudden loud bang from fireworks would scare him and make his bones break. 3．Walk. 4．One day when Sam was in the mountains, his wheelchair broke and he couldn’t fix it. 5．Be positive and creative; there’s always a way to solve problems. （合理即可） 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了患有脆骨病的男孩Sam虽然身体脆弱、无法行走，但他没有放弃，最终发明了一种新型轮椅帮助自己和他人的励志故事。 【详解】1．根据“Sam’s bones are so fragile, that they can break if he just coughs or sneezes.（Sam的骨头非常脆弱，以至于他只要咳嗽或打喷嚏就会骨折。）”以及“Most people don’t have bones that break very easily.（大多数人的骨头不容易折断。）”可推知Sam的骨头与常人不同之处在于非常脆弱，容易折断。因此答案几乎为原文直接信息。 2．“He never liked fireworks. A sudden loud bang would scare him so much that he could break some bones.（他从不喜欢烟花。突然的巨响会把他吓得很厉害，以至于可能会折断一些骨头。）”说明他不喜欢烟花是因为巨响会吓到他从而导致骨折。答案为原文直接信息。 3．“Doctors put metal pins in his legs to make them stronger, but the pins didn’t help him walk.（医生在他的腿上植入金属钉使其更强壮，但钉子并没有帮助他行走。）”说明金属钉没能帮助他走路。答案为原文具体信息，直接提取。 4．“One day, when Sam was in the mountains, his wheelchair broke. He knew a lot about chairs, but he couldn’t fix this one. Then, he had an idea.（有一天，当Sam在山里时，他的轮椅坏了。他很了解椅子，但修不好这一把。然后，他有了一个主意。）”说明是轮椅坏了且无法修复促使他决定发明新轮椅。因此答案几乎为原文直接信息。 5．“There is always a way to do everything...but there is always a way.（做任何事总有办法……但总有办法。）”说明我们从Sam的经历中获得的精神力量是面对困难永不放弃，相信总有解决之道。答案不唯一，合理作答即可。 Passage 2 阅读短文，简略回答问题。 One Sunday morning, my father and I went to a popular restaurant called Happy Restaurant for breakfast. As soon as we walked in, a friendly waitress brought us to a table, we ordered our food, and soon it arrived. Just as we were about to eat, we heard a man shouting angrily, “What is this? A fly (苍蝇) swimming in my soup!” The man banged (砸) on the table, and plates and cups fell and broke into pieces. His friend, a big man, looked at the restaurant waitress who stood nervously next to them. The restaurant owner (主人) kept saying sorry and wanted to replace (更换) the food for free. But the angry man wasn’t happy and still shouted. Other people in the restaurant were afraid. Many quickly paid for their meals and left, even if they hadn’t finished eating. My father told me to eat quickly and ignore (忽视) the angry man. We ate our food very fast and it was probably the quietest breakfast we ever had. As we got ready to leave, my father shared a quiet thought with me: “When things are not going well, it’s important to try to solve problems to make things better. Being angry only makes things worse.” As we came out of the restaurant, I took one last look at the angry man and thought about Dad’s words. 1．What do we know about the restaurant in paragraph 1? ________________________________________________________ 2．Why was the man angry? _________________________________________________________ 3．How did the restaurant owner try to solve the problem? _____________________________________________________ 4．What do you think of the morning at the restaurant? ________________________________________________________ 5．What does the story mainly tell us? _____________________________________________________ 【答案】1．It was popular. 2．Because there was a fly in his soup. 3．He said sorry and wanted to replace the food for free. 4．It was unpleasant but meaningful. 5．We should solve problems instead of being angry. 【导语】本文主要讲述了一个周日早晨，作者和父亲在一家名为Happy Restaurant的餐厅吃早餐时，遇到一位顾客因汤里有苍蝇而大发雷霆的故事，揭示了"生气不能解决问题，应尝试解决才能让事情变好"的主题。 【详解】1．根据文章第1段“One Sunday morning, my father and I went to a popular restaurant called Happy Restaurant for breakfast.（一个星期天早上，我和父亲去了一家名叫Happy Restaurant的受欢迎餐厅吃早餐。）”可知，这家餐厅很受欢迎。 2．根据文章第2段“What is this? A fly swimming in my soup!（这是什么？一只苍蝇在我的汤里游泳！）”可知，那个男人生气是因为汤里有苍蝇。 3．根据文章第3段“The restaurant owner kept saying sorry and wanted to replace the food for free.（餐厅主人不停道歉并想免费更换食物。）”可知，主人试图通过道歉和免费换菜来解决问题。 4．根据文章第2段描述的混乱场面以及第5段父亲给出的建议可推知，这个早晨虽然因争吵而不愉快，但作者学到了道理，很有意义。 5．根据文章第5段“When things are not going well, it’s important to try to solve problems to make things better. Being angry only makes things worse.（当事情不顺利时，努力解决问题使事情变好很重要。生气只会让事情变得更糟。）”可知，文章主要告诉我们要解决问题而不是生气。 Passage 3 My Eating Habits When I was a primary school student, my eating habits were not good.

Passage 4 根据短文内容回答下列问题。 I’m a 35-year-old woman, married, with a lovely family. But my life was not always so good. I had a speech difficulty from an early age. I went to special classes where I got extra help. Still, I suffered during my school years in regular schools. My life improved greatly when I discovered dancing. The dance world gave me a way to express myself without words. I joined a dance studio and gradually became good at modern dance. Here I learned my first important lesson: although I had trouble speaking, I could still be expressive and communicate through movement. And my confidence grew. I got my next lesson from swimming. It was fun but I was scared at first. I soon realized it wasn’t about natural talent; it needed lots of practice. So I did it more. After about three years of swimming, I found myself competing in a local race. I learned that if you love something and work at it every day, you will improve. Later I decided to work on my speech. Every day I practiced reading aloud and having conversations, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two years, I became much more fluent. Through the long process with dance, swimming, and speech practice, now I have come to a point in my life: I know I can succeed in any area that is unfamiliar, difficult, but worth my effort. 1．What made the writer’s school days difficult? __________________________________________________________ 2．Why did dancing give the writer confidence? _____________________________________________________ 3．What did the writer realize soon after she began swimming? ___________________________________________________ 4．How does the writer organize her ideas in this passage? ______________________________________________________ 5．What have you learned from the passage?

It sounds unbelievable, right? Here is how the story began. One day, Sophie’s mother, Anna, heard a sound coming from the attic. Then she found Sophie playing an old electronic keyboard there. And to Anna’s surprise, the girl played it wonderfully. “It’s amazing because no one taught Sophie how to play,” Anna thought. After checking many times, she found that Sophie could play any song she heard. Then she realized that Sophie was talented in music. The happy mother shared a video of Sophie playing the keyboard on the Internet. Soon it became popular. Mr. Wilson, a piano teacher, read the story about Sophie online and heard her play. He learned that Sophie’s family lived a hard life, so they couldn’t buy a piano for Sophie. “This girl has great talent. I must do something to help her,” Mr. Wilson thought. Then he bought the piano for Sophie and promised to give her free piano lessons. Sophie was very happy when she saw the piano in her house. The family was very thankful for Mr. Wilson’s kindness. 1．When did Anna realize that her daughter was talented in music? ____________________________________________________________ 2．How did Mr. Wilson know about Sophie? __________________________________________________________ 3．Who bought the piano for Sophie? _____________________________________________________________ 4．How did Sophie feel when she saw the piano? _________________________________________________________________ 5．What is Mr. Wilson like? _________________________________________________________________ Passage 3 My grandma is a gentle old lady. Like many women of her time, she has a talent for sewing (缝纫). She made all my childhood clothes on her own. As a young girl, rather than playing outside with my friends, I liked staying with my grandmother to help her sew. I was so interested in getting the thread through the eye of the needle (针). Later, instead of making clothes, my grandmother would sew gloves or insoles (鞋垫) for me. She can’t be with me all the time, but the love passed through her needle and thread warms me. It was my grandma who sparked my enthusiasm (热情) for sewing and taught me how to show love and care. Almost a year ago, I was trying to give a birthday present to my friend. Then, I thought, “Why don’t I sew her a gift?” I decided to make her a pencil case. I cut out the pattern (图案) from my old skirt, drew a design and started sewing. It took me many days to finish it. The final result wasn’t as pretty as I imagined. But it was the best pencil case that I could make. Just yesterday, my friend called me and said that every time she sees the pencil case, she thinks of me and the warm feeling. Sewing is a fantastic art form that can convey (传达) our love and care. 注：每题答案不超过5个词。 1．Who made the writer’s childhood clothes? ______________________________________________________________ 2．What did the writer like doing as a young girl? ___________________________________________________________________ 3．Why did the writer sew a pencil case? _____________________________________________________________ 4．How long did it take the writer to make the pencil case? _________________________________________________________________ 5．What can sewing convey according to the writer’s opinion? ________________________________________________________________ Passage 4 Some people run for health, while others run for dreams. Over the past eight years, Mr. Zhang has run more than 15,000 kilometers across China. If you know his age, you will be amazed. Mr. Zhang, born in 1960, began running in 2016 after he retired from his job. He did it simply to fulfill his lifelong dream. When he was young, he always wanted to run across China and even to other countries. But because of his poor family, he didn’t get his first pair of proper running shoes until 1985. Since then, he had run every morning for many years. “I’m getting older and I don’t want to have regrets. So I want to enjoy running now,” Mr. Zhang said. At first, he just ran in the local park, and then he started running to nearby cities. In May, 2018, he began his first long-distance run. After running more than 4,000 kilometers in nearly 80 days, he finally reached Beijing. In that year, he completed two long-distance runs. Of course, Mr. Zhang has faced many difficulties on his journeys, but he still thinks it is a wonderful experience.

We lived in a small apartment with running water and electricity. I was very excited to have my own small bedroom. But the apartment was close to a busy road, so it was often noisy. Now, I’m 14 years old and we live in a big house in a quiet neighborhood. There are four bedrooms, a big kitchen, a living room and a study. I have a large bedroom with a desk and a bookshelf. I can study there quietly. We also have a small garden with some flowers. My mom grows tomatoes there. I love my home now.

Tom told me to go to the basketball club at ten o’clock. On the way there, I bought a hamburger. When I reached the basketball club, I was surprised to see Tom and Jack fighting.

I noticed that a community centre was offering English conversation classes. Without much thought, I signed up. There was one class a week, each lasting two hours. Ms. Johnson, the teacher, was very energetic. For each class, she would teach us many new expressions. After each lesson, I felt it was too difficult to keep up. Luckily, after a few months, I got used to it. Between classes, I would review what I had learned until I understood it. Gradually, I began to realise that the more effort I put into English study, the more interesting I found it. To make further progress, I planned to find a native speaker to practice with. The university had many international students, so it was not difficult to find one. Soon I met my new friend, Tom. He helped me practice my spoken English and go over everything I had learned in class. Finally, I made it. Although there are so many idioms and slang expressions in English, I am confident to overcome any difficulty and become good at English. 1．Why did Li Ming learn English? __________________________________________________________________ 2．What did Li Ming think of his English classes at the beginning? ____________________________________________________________________ 3．How did Li Ming make further progress in English study? ____________________________________________________________________ 4．What does Li Ming think of his English study now? ____________________________________________________________________ 5．What lesson can we learn from the passage?

We started early at 7 am, carrying water, snacks, and maps. The valley is about 70 kilometers from our school, surrounded by green hills and clear rivers. After taking the bus for about an hour, we reached a wooden bridge. Mr. Chen, our teacher, told us its history — built 100 years ago! We took photos there before continuing. The most challenging part was to climb the hill, but we encouraged each other and finally made it to the top. The view was surprising: wild flowers covered the hills like a colorful carpet (毯子), and birds sang in the trees. We had a picnic near a waterfall, sharing sandwiches and stories. Some students enjoyed the scenery (风景) while others explored nearby caves. Though tired, everyone agreed it was an unforgettable adventure (冒险). This trip taught us teamwork and the beauty of nature! 1．What time did the students start their trip? _______________________________________________________ 2．What did Mr. Chen share with the students at the wooden bridge? _______________________________________________________ 3．Use a word to describe the trip. ___________________________________________________________ 4．If you can join this trip, which activity would you like to do most?

I can still remember the first Halloween holiday I had in the US. On the morning of Halloween, we paid a visit to a pumpkin farm. Each of us brought a pumpkin to school with us. I used the pumpkin to make a lantern which had two triangular eyes and a scary mouth. In the afternoon, we put on the Halloween costumes and went on parade in school. Some of the costumes were nice, but some of them looked scary. I chose to wear a suit of Superman’s clothes. I did a lot of things that day, but the part I liked best was “trick or treat” in the evening. After dinner, I went outside with an empty bag. I hoped to get a lot of candies from people. At first, I was a bit nervous, so when I knocked on the door, my heart was beating very fast. A lady came out, and I said carefully to her, “Trick or treat.” My voice was very low, and even I could hardly hear it. To my surprise, the lady was so kind to give me two candy bars, and I was so excited, I thanked the lady and moved on. I couldn’t remember how many houses I visited, but I could remember how many candies I got—I got 91 candies that day, and I was so proud of myself. What a happy Halloween I had!

They hold a person up and help the person to move. But Sam’s bones don’t do this for him. Sam was born with brittle bone disease. He has never walked. Most people don’t have bones that break very easily. Sometimes bones break when people fall or crash into something. Sam’s bones are so fragile, that they can break if he just coughs or sneezes. Learning About Sam When Sam was young, he was always breaking bones. If he got a fright, he could break some bones or crack a rib. He never liked fireworks. A sudden loud bang would scare him so much that he could break some bones. Sam’s family had to learn how fragile he was. When he was a baby, it was very difficult for them. If he was put down to sleep the wrong way, he could easily break an arm or a leg. Not Growing, Never Walking No one knew much about what would happen to Sam. His friends grew taller, but he didn’t. Sam didn’t let how he looked worry him. “How we look on the outside,” he said, “is only a small part of who we are.” Sam wanted to do everything that his friends did. Doctors put metal pins in his legs to make them stronger, but the pins didn’t help him walk. So Sam needed wheelchairs. Sam’s Wheelchairs Sam had wheelchairs to take him to different places. He had a small, folding wheelchair when he went flying in a two-seater plane. He had some wheelchairs for going over sand and others that would take him over muddy, rocky places. One day, Sam’s wheelchair got stuck in some mud. There was no one around to help him, so he had to crawl home on his stomach. Sam’s Idea Sam has been to many places in the world. He has been down rivers and in rainforests. If he couldn’t get somewhere in his chair, people carried him. One day, when Sam was in the mountains, his wheelchair broke. He knew a lot about chairs, but he couldn’t fix this one. Then, he had an idea. He would invent a new and different wheelchair. A Big Message So Sam invented a chair that he can do everything in. Now, people all over the world are using his chair. Sam will always be small. He will never be able to walk. But he says, “There is always a way to do everything. It may not be the way most people do things. It may take a while to work it out, but there is always a way.” This is just a little of Sam’s story with a big message. 1．What makes Sam’s bones different from most people’s? ___________________________________________________________ 2．Why did Sam never like fireworks when he was young? __________________________________________________________ 3．What didn’t the metal pins in Sam’s legs help him do? ________________________________________________________ 4．What made Sam decide to invent a new wheelchair? __________________________________________________________ 5．What spiritual strength can we gain from Sam’s experience when facing unchangeable difficulties? _____________________________________________________________ Passage 2 阅读短文，简略回答问题。 One Sunday morning, my father and I went to a popular restaurant called Happy Restaurant for breakfast. As soon as we walked in, a friendly waitress brought us to a table, we ordered our food, and soon it arrived. Just as we were about to eat, we heard a man shouting angrily, “What is this? A fly (苍蝇) swimming in my soup!” The man banged (砸) on the table, and plates and cups fell and broke into pieces. His friend, a big man, looked at the restaurant waitress who stood nervously next to them. The restaurant owner (主人) kept saying sorry and wanted to replace (更换) the food for free. But the angry man wasn’t happy and still shouted. Other people in the restaurant were afraid. Many quickly paid for their meals and left, even if they hadn’t finished eating. My father told me to eat quickly and ignore (忽视) the angry man. We ate our food very fast and it was probably the quietest breakfast we ever had. As we got ready to leave, my father shared a quiet thought with me: “When things are not going well, it’s important to try to solve problems to make things better.

Now I’m a junior high school student, and my eating habits have changed a lot. My mom told me that junk food is bad for my health, so I stopped eating it. Now I eat a balanced diet every day.

I had a speech difficulty from an early age. I went to special classes where I got extra help. Still, I suffered during my school years in regular schools. My life improved greatly when I discovered dancing. The dance world gave me a way to express myself without words. I joined a dance studio and gradually became good at modern dance. Here I learned my first important lesson: although I had trouble speaking, I could still be expressive and communicate through movement. And my confidence grew. I got my next lesson from swimming. It was fun but I was scared at first. I soon realized it wasn’t about natural talent; it needed lots of practice. So I did it more. After about three years of swimming, I found myself competing in a local race. I learned that if you love something and work at it every day, you will improve. Later I decided to work on my speech. Every day I practiced reading aloud and having conversations, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two years, I became much more fluent. Through the long process with dance, swimming, and speech practice, now I have come to a point in my life: I know I can succeed in any area that is unfamiliar, difficult, but worth my effort. 1．What made the writer’s school days difficult? __________________________________________________________ 2．Why did dancing give the writer confidence? _____________________________________________________ 3．What did the writer realize soon after she began swimming? ___________________________________________________ 4．How does the writer organize her ideas in this passage? ______________________________________________________ 5．What have you learned from the passage?

Then my teacher told me a story about a famous pianist who practiced for 8 hours every day when he was young. I was moved and decided to keep trying. Every day after school, I practiced for two hours. Sometimes I felt tired, but I never stopped. After two years, I could play many beautiful songs. Now I can even play in front of people.
