Once upon a time, there was a farmer who was good at growing apples. One morning, while walking his dog, he noticed a bad apple sitting high up on his prized apple tree.
“If this bad apple spreads, the other apples on this tree will be ruined (毁坏).” he said to himself. “I must do something.”
He got a long stick, but it wasn’t long enough. When he tried to reach the bad apple, he knocked a few good apples to the ground.
Next, he used a catapult (弹弓) to shoot it off, but he missed each time and knocked more good apples down.
Then, he tried shaking the tree to make the bad apple fall. But no matter how hard he shook, it stayed in place, and more good apples fell.
A few days later, the farmer decided to cut off the branch. But when he arrived at the tree, he realized something important. In all his efforts to remove the bad apple, he had caused all the other apples to fall and rot (腐烂).
Sometimes, we spend too much time and effort looking at the “one bad apple” in our lives. What we forget to do is remember all the other wonderful apples we already have.

The grocery store was busy that afternoon. 72-year-old Claudia was ready to pay when she realized she’d left her wallet at home. Feeling embarrassed (尴尬的), she told the cashier (收银员), “I’ll come back later.”
A young boy behind her said, “I’ll pay for her groceries.” He handed the money to the cashier. The total wasn’t much, but it meant everything to Claudia at that moment. She thanked the boy and left the store.
The next morning, after knocking on a few doors Claudia finally found the boy’s house. A kind woman answered the door. “Hello,” Claudia said nervously. “I’m looking for the young man who helped me at the grocery store yesterday. I just want to thank him.” The woman stepped aside. “That would be my grandson, Mateo. Come in, please.”

Two days later, Claudia gave Mateo a new computer. He hugged her tightly, and she saw the same light in Mateo’s eyes that she had seen when he paid for her groceries.

阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题 (请注意每小题的词数要求)。
My name is Maggie. I am a beautiful big red maple tree.
One day, a big storm came and tore off half of my bark. I was afraid. I thought people would think I was ugly and cut me down.
After the storm, a nice mouse family came and lived in one of my holes. Soon, another storm came. It tore off more of my bark. But I wasn’t afraid because the mice were with me. Seeing them safe and happy made me feel better.
When the storm was over, I had over 70 animals in my holes! I was happy to help all of the animals, but I was still worried about what people might think of me.
My fear came true when the first group of people arrived. Most of them were surprised to see how ugly I looked. I was very sad. But then, the greatest thing happened. A little boy shouted, “I think the tree is beautiful. She protected all those animals from the terrible storm.” Everyone agreed with him, and I felt very thankful to him.
Now, people love me even more. I’ve learned that true beauty isn’t just about looks, but comes from being kind and helping others.

IX.单词拼写(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)
根据首字母及汉语提示,完成下列单词的拼写,使句意明确,语言通顺。
56. The snow c________ (覆盖) the ground and made the world look white.
【答案】
covered##overed
【解析】
【详解】句意:大雪覆盖了地面,让世界一片雪白。由中文提示“覆盖”以及首字母c可知,单词cover符合要求;并列连词and连接两个谓语,后面made是make的过去式,时态为一般过去时,cover要使用过去式covered。故填covered。
57. In winter, people often wear s________ (围巾) and gloves when going out.
【答案】scarves##carves
【解析】
【详解】句意:冬天,人们外出时经常戴围巾和手套。句中“wear”后接名词作宾语,“围巾”对应英文单词scarf,句中“people”为复数主语,此处表泛指故应使用复数形式将“f”变为“ves”,故填scarves。
58. The poor cat was d________ (死的) when we found it.
【答案】dead##ead
【解析】
【详解】句意:当我们发现这只可怜的猫的时候,它已经死了。根据中文提示“死的”和首字母d可知,此处应是表示死亡的状态,所以应用形容词dead,在句中作表语。
59. My mother r________ (提醒) me to finish my homework every day.
【答案】reminds##eminds
【解析】
【详解】句意:我的妈妈每天提醒我要完成作业。根据汉语及首字母提示可知,“提醒”用动词remind,固定搭配remind sb. to do sth.意为“提醒某人做某事”。根据时间状语“every day”可知,本句描述经常性动作,用一般现在时。主语My mother是第三人称单数,故填reminds。
60. The young man likes to eat b________ (饼干) with a cup of milk for breakfast.
【答案】biscuits##iscuits
【解析】
【详解】句意:这个年轻人早餐喜欢吃饼干配一杯牛奶。此处作eat的宾语,需用名词,“饼干”对应的英文为biscuit,可数名词,此处表泛指要用复数形式,复数形式是biscuits。

Once upon a time, there was a farmer who was good at growing apples. One morning, while walking his dog, he noticed a bad apple sitting high up on his prized apple tree.
“If this bad apple spreads, the other apples on this tree will be ruined (毁坏).” he said to himself. “I must do something.”
He got a long stick, but it wasn’t long enough. When he tried to reach the bad apple, he knocked a few good apples to the ground.
Next, he used a catapult (弹弓) to shoot it off, but he missed each time and knocked more good apples down.
Then, he tried shaking the tree to make the bad apple fall. But no matter how hard he shook, it stayed in place, and more good apples fell.
A few days later, the farmer decided to cut off the branch. But when he arrived at the tree, he realized something important. In all his efforts to remove the bad apple, he had caused all the other apples to fall and rot (腐烂).

The grocery store was busy that afternoon. 72-year-old Claudia was ready to pay when she realized she’d left her wallet at home. Feeling embarrassed (尴尬的), she told the cashier (收银员), “I’ll come back later.”
A young boy behind her said, “I’ll pay for her groceries.” He handed the money to the cashier. The total wasn’t much, but it meant everything to Claudia at that moment. She thanked the boy and left the store.
The next morning, after knocking on a few doors Claudia finally found the boy’s house. A kind woman answered the door. “Hello,” Claudia said nervously. “I’m looking for the young man who helped me at the grocery store yesterday. I just want to thank him.” The woman stepped aside. “That would be my grandson, Mateo. Come in, please.”
Claudia stepped inside and saw Mateo working on an old computer with a flickering (闪烁) screen. “Thank you,” she said, handing him an envelope (信封) containing 50 dollars. “Your kindness is worth more than anything.” Then she asked, “Why don’t you buy a new computer?” Mateo replied, “I’ve been saving money, but it’s still not enough.”
Two days later, Claudia gave Mateo a new computer. He hugged her tightly, and she saw the same light in Mateo’s eyes that she had seen when he paid for her groceries.

Did you ever have a tree house? Or did you dream of being up in the trees? Now your dreams can come true. The world’s biggest treehouse resort is being built in the Eastern Tennessee Smoky Mountains.
The Sanctuary Treehouse Resort will have 130 tree houses near the Great Smoky National Park. These tree houses will have running water and clean air, and will satisfy people who want to play like children.
This resort is the idea of Amanda and Brian Jensen who run a restaurant at the top of a mountain. The idea for Sanctuary came from a tree house they built for their kids. The Jensens thought about selling it when their children grew up. After staying at a tree house hotel in South Carolina, they thought a lot. Then they decided to build tree houses in Sevierville, Tennessee.
The resort will have different kinds of rooms. It will also have walking roads and forests to have parties in. It will not be just a place to stay with wonderful views. “We are building a special resort like no other anywhere for people to stay and play,” the Jensens said. “We hope to give people lasting memories to leave them with a wish to come back and stay with us year after year.”
Come and enjoy yourself after the resort is built!

My name is Maggie. I am a beautiful big red maple tree.
One day, a big storm came and tore off half of my bark. I was afraid. I thought people would think I was ugly and cut me down.
After the storm, a nice mouse family came and lived in one of my holes. Soon, another storm came. It tore off more of my bark. But I wasn’t afraid because the mice were with me. Seeing them safe and happy made me feel better.
When the storm was over, I had over 70 animals in my holes! I was happy to help all of the animals, but I was still worried about what people might think of me.
My fear came true when the first group of people arrived. Most of them were surprised to see how ugly I looked. I was very sad. But then, the greatest thing happened. A little boy shouted, “I think the tree is beautiful. She protected all those animals from the terrible storm.” Everyone agreed with him, and I felt very thankful to him.
Now, people love me even more. I’ve learned that true beauty isn’t just about looks, but comes from being kind and helping others.
