He led the state from 319-301 B.C. King Xuan of Qi was a fan of music. He really liked listening to large orchestras. He loved it when hundreds of musicians played the Yu, a wooden wind instrument. A man named Nan Guo heard about this. It gave him an idea. He went to see the ruler, and told him that he was good at playing the Yu. King Xuan was very happy and allowed Nan Guo to join the royal orchestra. In fact, Nan Guo didn't know how to play the Yu! He did not see that as a problem, though. I can just fake it. Hundreds of musicians will be playing together. No one will be able to hear me play - or not play! he thought to himself. One show after another, Nan Guo faked playing the Yu. For a long time, no one noticed that his instrument was silent. The ruler enjoyed many songs his orchestra played. But King Xuan couldn't rule forever. Eventually, his son, King Min, took over. King Min also liked music. But unlike his father, he liked solo performances. “Bring me the best musicians from the orchestra!” King Min of Qi ordered. “I would like to hear them play - one at a time!” Nan Guo was frightened. He knew his lie would be caught, so, right away, he made his escape. He ran far, far away, never to be seen or heard from again. 1. Why did Nan Guo decide to join the royal orchestra? A. He was a talented musician. B. He wanted to impress the king. B. He realized he could hide his lack of skill in a large group of musicians. C. He wanted to learn to play the Yu from the king's musicians. 2. How did Nan Guo manage to stay in the orchestra for so long? A. He practiced hard every day. B. The king liked his performance. C. He pretended to be playing among many musicians. D. He played the Yu the loudest in the orchestra. 3. What happened when King Min took over? A. He fired all the musicians B. He ordered solo performances. C. He continued his father's tradition. D. He banned music in the palace. 4. What lesson does the story teach? A. Leaders should listen to advice. B. Music is important in royal courts. C. Cheating will eventually be discovered. D. Solo performances are always better than group performances. 长难句解析 原句：He loved it when hundreds of musicians played the Yu, a wooden wind instrument. 译文：当数百名乐师一起吹竽 —— 一种木制管乐器时，他非常喜欢。 分析：主句：He loved it it 是形式宾语，真正宾语是后面 when 引导的宾语从句宾语从句：when hundreds of musicians played the Yu a wooden wind instrument：同位语，用来解释说明 the Yu（竽）。 长难句解析 原句：He knew his lie would be caught, so, right away, he made his escape. 译文：他知道自己的谎言会被揭穿，所以立刻逃走了。 分析：so 连接并列句；前半句包含宾语从句 + 被动语态 分句 1：He knew (that) his lie would be caught (that) 引导宾语从句，可以省略；would be caught 过去将 来时的被动语态（将会被揭穿）。 分句 2：so, right away, he made his escape so 连词，表 “所以”；right away 立刻，马上（插入语） 【习题答案】 1.C 2.

Clara is drinking juice in the yard. Her mom is cutting grass with a lawnmower （割草机）. The lawnmower is loud, and Clara wishes her mom would play with her instead. But mom says the grass is very long and has to be cut. Suddenly, the lawnmower stops. Clara’s mom looks upset. Clara wonders what is wrong. Her mom picks something up out of the grass, and walks to Clara. Clara’s mom has a little turtle in her hand! As Clara looks closer, she sees that one leg is in bad shape. “I think I broke its leg,” Clara’s mom says. “I’m really sorry. Will you help me nurse it back to health?” Clara feels bad for the little turtle. Turtles move slowly, so it probably could not run away when it saw the lawnmower coming. And Clara’s mom could not see it in the long grass! It was a mistake, but Clara and her mom will make it right. Clara names the turtle Phillip. They take Phillip to the vet. The vet takes an X-ray of Phillip’s leg, and makes sure that it is broken. The turtle gets a little splint（夹板）and bandage. The vet tells Clara that the turtle needs plants to eat, water to drink and a place to live in. Clara and her mom buy a small tank （水箱） for Phillip on the way home. At home, Clara takes good care of Phillip. She puts water and rocks in the tank. She brings him fruit and leaves to eat, and keeps his tank clean. After eight weeks, Clara and her mom take Phillip back to the vet, who says that his leg is healthy again. Clara is both happy and sad. Happy because Phillip is better, but sad because she has to let him go. When Clara gets home, she feeds Phillip some fruit, kisses his back and says goodbye, then lets him go in the yard. Clara will always remember Phillip. 1．Clara’s mom looks upset because ________.

She brings him fruit and leaves to eat”可知，克拉拉给小乌龟准备了水箱、水、石头、水果和树叶。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“…lets him go in the yard”可知，菲利普重获健康之后，克拉拉让它离开了。故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，克拉拉悉心照顾受伤的小乌龟，在小乌龟痊愈之后便让它离开了，由此可见她是一个善良的人。故选A。 Passage 1 In a small village, there was a house with 1,000 mirrors (镜子). A little dog learnt about this place and wanted to visit it. When he got there, he was very happy. He looked into the mirrors with his ears up high and his tail wagging (摇摆尾巴) as fast as it could. It was surprising for him to see 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled and 1,000 great smiles smiled back to him. They were warm and nice. As he went away from the house, he thought, “This is a good place. I will come back and visit it often.” There was another little dog and he often got angry. The dog wanted to visit the house too. He went into the house with his head down. When he saw 1,000 angry dogs looking back at him, he shouted angrily at them and was afraid to see 1,000 little dogs shouting angrily back at him. As he left, he thought, “I will never go back there again.” Mirrors can’t change, but faces can.

He looked into the mirrors with his ears up high and his tail wagging as fast as it could”，直接说明第一只小狗是快乐的。 2．前文原句：“He smiled and 1,000 great smiles smiled back to him. They were warm and nice.”，此处They承接上文的1000个灿烂笑容，代指这些微笑。 3．第二段末尾第二只小狗心想：“I will never go back there again.”，可见它认为这个地方很糟糕，对应Terrible。 4．全文核心主旨句：“Mirrors can’t change, but faces can.”，镜子映照自身神情，告诉我们要带着微笑面对世界。 Passage 2 请阅读下面短文，根据语篇内容，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。 Once there were three trees on a hill. 1 The first tree said, “I want to be a treasure (宝藏) box.

When we got to Dr White’s house, John told him, “Mrs. Gordon is very ill. Squire Gordon thinks she is going to die. Please go to see her immediately (立刻).” “Yes,” said the doctor, “but my son has my horse. Can I have yours?” he asked. The doctor was heavier than John, and not such a good rider. But I did my best and went as fast as possible. When we got to Birtwick Park, Squire Gordon was at the door. The doctor went into the house with him, and Joe led me to the stable. I was glad to be home. My legs were shaking, and I was very wet. Joe was young and he forgot to put a warm blanket (毛毯) on me. Then he gave me cold water to drink. Soon all my body began to shake, and I felt very cold. A long time later, John came back. He covered me with two or three warm blankets, and ran to the house for some hot water. He gave me some warm food, and then I think I went to sleep. Over and over again, John said to himself, “Stupid (愚蠢的) boy! Stupid boy!” I was now very sick, and John was nursing me night and day.

D．Worrying about. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是小说《黑骏马》中的片段，讲的是John发现Gordon太太病了，于是骑马去找医生，回来后马也生病了，John细心照顾马的故事。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据“The Squire came to see me. ‘Poor Beauty’, he said one day. ‘You saved Mrs Gordon’s life.’”可知，黑骏马救了Gordon夫人的命。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“The doctor was heavier than John, and not such a good rider.”可知，从文章中我们能知道怀特医生不擅长骑马。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“Wake up, Beauty!”、“When we arrived at Dr White’s house”、“When we got to Birtwick Park”、“My legs were shaking, and I was very wet.”、“Joe was young and he forgot to put a warm blanket (毛毯) on me.”和“Then he gave me cold water to drink.”可知，John先是把我叫醒，和我到达White医生家，然后驾车去了Birtwick庄园，后来我全身都湿了，Joe没有给我盖一条暖和的毯子，之后给了我冷水喝。故正确的顺序应该是b-f-d-c-e-a。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据“I was now very sick, and John was nursing me night and day.”可知，我病的厉害，John应该是不分昼夜地照顾我，这里nursing相当于taking care of“照顾”。故选A。 Passage 4 One morning, the frog woke up from 1 sweet dreams and walked out of the cave.

One day, they got 3 unusual goose. To their great surprise, this goose 4 (lay) one bright golden egg each morning. Soon, they sold the golden eggs and got a lot of money. They became rich 5 (quick).

He led the state from 319-301 B.C. King Xuan of Qi was a fan of music. He really liked listening to large orchestras. He loved it when hundreds of musicians played the Yu, a wooden wind instrument.

King Xuan was very happy and allowed Nan Guo to join the royal orchestra. In fact, Nan Guo didn't know how to play the Yu! He did not see that as a problem, though. I can just fake it. Hundreds of musicians will be playing together. No one will be able to hear me play - or not play! he thought to himself. One show after another, Nan Guo faked playing the Yu. For a long time, no one noticed that his instrument was silent. The ruler enjoyed many songs his orchestra played. But King Xuan couldn't rule forever. Eventually, his son, King Min, took over. King Min also liked music. But unlike his father, he liked solo performances. “Bring me the best musicians from the orchestra!” King Min of Qi ordered. “I would like to hear them play - one at a time!” Nan Guo was frightened.

Clara is drinking juice in the yard. Her mom is cutting grass with a lawnmower （割草机）. The lawnmower is loud, and Clara wishes her mom would play with her instead. But mom says the grass is very long and has to be cut. Suddenly, the lawnmower stops. Clara’s mom looks upset. Clara wonders what is wrong. Her mom picks something up out of the grass, and walks to Clara. Clara’s mom has a little turtle in her hand! As Clara looks closer, she sees that one leg is in bad shape. “I think I broke its leg,” Clara’s mom says. “I’m really sorry. Will you help me nurse it back to health?” Clara feels bad for the little turtle. Turtles move slowly, so it probably could not run away when it saw the lawnmower coming. And Clara’s mom could not see it in the long grass! It was a mistake, but Clara and her mom will make it right. Clara names the turtle Phillip. They take Phillip to the vet. The vet takes an X-ray of Phillip’s leg, and makes sure that it is broken. The turtle gets a little splint（夹板）and bandage. The vet tells Clara that the turtle needs plants to eat, water to drink and a place to live in. Clara and her mom buy a small tank （水箱） for Phillip on the way home.
