A
I am Scout. I was mad at school today. Miss Caroline shamed Walter in front of the class for not bringing lunch money. I knew he couldn’t afford it, so when I met him on my way home, I asked him to come to my house for dinner.
At the table, Dad and Walter talked like two grown men, which made Walter feel relaxed. Later, Cal, our housekeeper, brought syrup (糖浆). Walter poured lots of it on his vegetables and meat.
“What are you doing?” I cried out before I could stop myself.
The room went silent. Walter froze, with his head down and his face turning red. Dad shook his head and gave me a sharp look.
“But he’s poured the syrup all over...”
Just then, Cal called me to the kitchen, her face tight (紧绷) with anger. “Some people eat differently, Scout, but you shouldn’t judge them at the table! That boy’s your guest.”
“But it wasn’t polite,” I said quietly,
“Anyone in this house should be treated with respect. If you can’t behave, eat here in the kitchen!” said Cal. I finished dinner alone, thankful that I didn’t have to face them again.
At night, with tears still in my eyes, I went to Dad. Bit by bit, I told him the day’s troubles. He listened quietly, and then said, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view. If you can learn this, Scout, you’ll get along much better with people.”
Lying in bed, I thought about Dad’s words. I was angry at Miss Caroline for shaming Walter, yet at the table, I did the same thing. I finally fell asleep, realizing that real kindness begins with respect

He saw a flower shop and went inside to ask the shop owner if he could buy a flower for his mother’s Christmas gift. The shop owner smiled and said, “I just happen to have some roses on sale for one dime a dozen(一打). Would you like them?” Of course Bobby bought the roses at once and returned home.
The shop owner’s wife asked her husband, “Who are you talking to and where are the roses?”
He answered, “A strange thing happened to me this morning. I heard a voice and the voice told me to keep a dozen of my best roses for a special gift. Then just a few minutes ago, a little boy came into the shop and wanted to buy a flower for his mother with one small dime. When I looked at him, I saw myself.

(26·江苏扬州中考)
If you want to learn new stories about familiar plants and animals, and discover new species (物种) to plant in your own yard, Nature of Portland, is a must for you.
Most of this book is about which plants and animals are natives in Portland (a city in Oregon, USA). Many plants and animals in this book have long made their homes here.
In this field guide, filled with local knowledge and humor, LeeAnn Kriegh describes more than 350 plants and animals found within an hour’s ride of Portland, Inside you’ll discover:
● Common and scientific names
● Key details like size, bloom (flowering) time, and months seen
● Local natural history, ecology, stories, and fun facts
● Details on where to find every species
● Beautiful full-color photos of every species
Take Western Starflower from the book as an example.
Western Starflower (Lysimachia latifolia)
Flowers: Late spring to early summer
Late spring is a magical time to explore trails in the Portland area, as birds are singing, and colorful blooms are coming out on wildflowers like this one.
Western starflower’s pinkish blooms stand out against the backdrop of the plant’s big, broad, deep-green leaves (latifolia translates to “broad-leaved”). A lot of flowers are in the shape of a star, but species like this one win the starflower name because of their thin flower stalks (茎). They make the flowers seem to fly in the air like stars.
ID tips: 2-12 inches tall. Look for a whorl of four to seven broadly oval leaves (up to 3.5 inches long) with pointed tips. Up to a few star-shaped pink flowers (up to 0.75 inches wide) bloom on thin flower stalks, each with five to seven pointed petals (花瓣).
Locations: Locally common in shady, wet woods, including at Oxbow Regional Park and Powell Butte Nature Park.
At the back of the book, you’ll find 10 “treasure hunts” in the Portland area. The species are waiting to be found. Reading about plants and animals is fun, but getting outside to experience and connect with nature is what Nature of Portland is all about.
1. What is Nature of Portland?
A. A fun, friendly guide to local plants and animals.
B. A photo collection of plants and animals in danger.
C. A field guide to the city’s places of interest.
D. A book mainly about some famous local landscapes.
2. What does the underlined word “natives” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Animals or plants that live in the sea.
B. Animals that kill and eat other animals.
C. Animals or plants that live or grow naturally in a place.
D. Unusual and exciting plants, especially from other countries.
3. In the table about Western Starflower, what can you get from the Flowers part?
A. How tall the flower is.
B. How many leaves the flower has.
C. Why the flower gets its name.
D. Which parks you can visit to see the flower.
4. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To show how to write a book review.
B. To tell readers what to expect from the book.
C. To give advice on what to grow in your yard.
D. To encourage readers to find new local plants.

He set it down on the table between them and asked Zhang Wei to start. They exchanged a few turns without any real purpose before Mr. Wang spoke for the first time.
“In the game of chess, who are you?” Mr. Wang asked, “At the moment, I feel like a pawn (卒子). I’m 5 in my movement and don’t have much ability,” answered Zhang Wei. “Who would you like to be?” Mr. Wang asked. “I prefer to be the queen, of course. She can move in any direction and is the most 6 piece on the chessboard,” Zhang Wei said. “Are you sure about that?” Mr. Wang added. “Of course! Isn’t it clear?” Zhang Wei answered.
Mr. Wang sat back in the chair and said in a quiet, yet firm voice, “You shouldn’t be the pawn, or the queen. You need to be the 7 moving the pieces around. Stop being 8 around by others and take charge. There are too many people around us whose lives are controlled by the decisions of their bosses, their parents, their peers and the media. You are better than them, so step up and take charge! We weren’t born to be pieces moved around on a chessboard. We were born to 9 influence the world around us.”

【解析】本文讲述了张伟因生活困惑找王老师谈心,老师通过下棋比喻,教导他要掌控自己的人生,积极影响世界的故事。
1. 句意:当他和老师聊天时,他感到有点低落。
根据后文他倾诉自己对生活没有方向、不确定该怎么办,可知他情绪低落。low“低落的”,符合题意。excited兴奋的、scared害怕的、pleased高兴的,均不符合他此时的情绪状态。
2. 句意:我只是觉得此刻我无法掌控自己的生活。
根据后文父母和朋友给他不同建议、他不知道该怎么办,可知他缺乏对生活的“掌控”。control“控制/掌控”,符合题意。doubt怀疑、idea想法、experience经历,均不符合语境。
3. 句意:一切都在变化,我不知道下一步该做什么。
根据前文父母和朋友给的建议不同,可知周围的事情在不断“变化”。changing“变化”,符合题意。appearing出现、moving移动、complaining抱怨,均不符合语境。
4. 句意:王老师点点头,离开房间一会儿,拿着棋盘回来了。
根据后文两人开始下棋、提到chessboard,可知老师拿来的是“棋盘”。chessboard“棋盘”,符合题意。notebook笔记本、box盒子、bag包,均与下棋场景无关。
5. 句意:那时,我觉得自己像卒,行动受限且能力不足。
根据前文张伟觉得自己像“卒子”,可知卒子在棋盘上行动受限。limited“受限的”,符合题意。doubled翻倍的、discovered被发现的、harmed受伤害的,均不符合卒子的特点。
6. 句意:她可以向任何方向移动,是棋盘上最有力的棋子。

7. 句意:你需要成为移动棋子的棋手。
根据后文“take charge”(掌控),可知老师希望张伟成为操控棋子的“棋手”。player“棋手/玩家”,符合题意。worker工人、reporter记者、director导演,均不符合下棋的语境。
8. 句意:不要被别人推来推去,要自己做主。
根据前文“being pushed around”固定搭配,意为“被摆布/被驱使”。pushed“推/驱使”,符合题意。turned转身、gathered聚集、laughed笑,均不能构成此搭配。
9. 句意:人生来就该积极地影响世界。
根据老师鼓励张伟掌控人生、改变世界,可知要用积极的态度去影响世界。positively“积极地”,符合题意。politely礼貌地、possibly可能地、painfully痛苦地,均不符合鼓励的语气。
1. 句意:说完,他从椅子上起身,走出办公室。
根据后文“walked out”,可知他先从椅子上“站起来”。rose from“从……站起来”,符合题意。went up上升、left for前往、sat down坐下,均不符合起身离开的动作

A
I am Scout. I was mad at school today. Miss Caroline shamed Walter in front of the class for not bringing lunch money. I knew he couldn’t afford it, so when I met him on my way home, I asked him to come to my house for dinner.
At the table, Dad and Walter talked like two grown men, which made Walter feel relaxed. Later, Cal, our housekeeper, brought syrup (糖浆). Walter poured lots of it on his vegetables and meat.
“What are you doing?” I cried out before I could stop myself.
The room went silent. Walter froze, with his head down and his face turning red. Dad shook his head and gave me a sharp look.
“But he’s poured the syrup all over...”
Just then, Cal called me to the kitchen, her face tight (紧绷) with anger. “Some people eat differently, Scout, but you shouldn’t judge them at the table! That boy’s your guest.”
“But it wasn’t polite,” I said quietly,
“Anyone in this house should be treated with respect. If you can’t behave, eat here in the kitchen!” said Cal. I finished dinner alone, thankful that I didn’t have to face them again.
At night, with tears still in my eyes, I went to Dad. Bit by bit, I told him the day’s troubles. He listened quietly, and then said, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view. If you can learn this, Scout, you’ll get along much better with people.”
Lying in bed, I thought about Dad’s words. I was angry at Miss Caroline for shaming Walter, yet at the table, I did the same thing. I finally fell asleep, realizing that real kindness begins with respect

(26·江苏扬州中考)
If you want to learn new stories about familiar plants and animals, and discover new species (物种) to plant in your own yard, Nature of Portland, is a must for you.
Most of this book is about which plants and animals are natives in Portland (a city in Oregon, USA). Many plants and animals in this book have long made their homes here.
In this field guide, filled with local knowledge and humor, LeeAnn Kriegh describes more than 350 plants and animals found within an hour’s ride of Portland, Inside you’ll discover:
● Common and scientific names
● Key details like size, bloom (flowering) time, and months seen
● Local natural history, ecology, stories, and fun facts
● Details on where to find every species
● Beautiful full-color photos of every species
Take Western Starflower from the book as an example.
Western Starflower (Lysimachia latifolia)
Flowers: Late spring to early summer
Late spring is a magical time to explore trails in the Portland area, as birds are singing, and colorful blooms are coming out on wildflowers like this one.
Western starflower’s pinkish blooms stand out against the backdrop of the plant’s big, broad, deep-green leaves (latifolia translates to “broad-leaved”). A lot of flowers are in the shape of a star, but species like this one win the starflower name because of their thin flower stalks (茎). They make the flowers seem to fly in the air like stars.
ID tips: 2-12 inches tall. Look for a whorl of four to seven broadly oval leaves (up to 3.5 inches long) with pointed tips. Up to a few star-shaped pink flowers (up to 0.75 inches wide) bloom on thin flower stalks, each with five to seven pointed petals (花瓣).
Locations: Locally common in shady, wet woods, including at Oxbow Regional Park and Powell Butte Nature Park.
