专题04 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题语境01 人与自我-个人情况 Passage 1 （2026·江苏无锡·中考真题） “Please help me get through this!” I watched the big LED screen. There were five minutes left. I felt great pain in my back, which had been kneed by a player from the other team. I rolled from side to side, tears streaming down. It was a blow to my pride for I was always the man of the match, the best player on the field, popularly known as the “Untouchable”. Soon doctors came. “Jared, can you hear…” Those were the last words I heard before I lost consciousness (知觉). I opened my eyes slowly as silence filled the air. I tried my best to sit up but the weight of my body was like gravity and it pulled me down. I became aware that I had lost sense in my legs. I moved my fingers to feel them. They were still there! Could I be…? I shook my head. “I’m your doctor, Wilson Ty. You are a strong man, Jared. How are you feeling?” Feeling? I could not feel anything. “My legs…” I said, then paused. Dr Wilson Ty began to talk about my condition. But only two words jumped out at me—paralysed (瘫痪的) forever. As I was trying to make sense of what he meant, my coach and a few of my teammates came in. “Coach…help me!” The words came out of my mouth. “It’s OK, Jared. Don’t lose heart.” My coach was trying to avoid saying more as he turned away, hiding the tears. “Coach, I want to play soccer again, no matter what happens. I need you to help me,” I said as I held his arm tightly. I struggled bravely in the next few months to be on my feet again. The hard knock had left me with a spinal cord injury (脊椎损伤). The “Untouchable” had become the “Vulnerable (脆弱的)”. After almost a year in hospital, I finally felt my feet firmly on the ground as I made my way to the field. This would be my first game after fate (命运) almost turned my life upside down. Without doubt, it was the game that I won, I thought. As I walked towards the field, the whole stadium was filled with “Hero! Hero!” together with “Welcome back, Untouchable Jared!” on the LED screen. They were shouting louder than they had ever done. My teammates handed the ball to me. The indescribable feeling came to me and this time, there were tears of joy. 1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指代)? A. The air. B. Silence. C. The body weight. D. Gravity. 2.When Jared thought Without doubt, it was the game that I won, he probably felt ________. A. free B. proud C. curious D. nervous 3.What is the best title for this story? A. The LED Screen B. A Lucky Boy C. An Unforgettable Game D. The Untouchable 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. D 【解析】【导语】 本文讲述了素有“Untouchable”之称的优秀足球运动员Jared在比赛中受伤致瘫，凭借顽强毅力坚持康复训练，最终重返赛场、重新获得大家认可的故事。 (1)题解析： 第三段提到：“I tried my best to sit up but the weight of my body was like gravity and it pulled me down.”，表明句中it指代前文提到的“the weight of my body（身体的重量）”，句子将身体重量比作重力，是身体的重量（the body weight）让受伤的Jared无法坐起、向下坠。 (2)题解析： 倒数第二段提到：“After almost a year in hospital, I finally felt my feet firmly on the ground as I made my way to the field. This would be my first game after fate (命运) almost turned my life upside down. Without doubt, it was the game that I won, I thought.”，表明Jared受伤瘫痪后经过近一年的艰苦康复，终于重返赛场，他认为自己战胜了命运的打击，赢了这场和人生的“比赛”，此时内心充满自豪。 (3)题解析： 根据全文内容，“Untouchable”是Jared最初的球员称号，结尾观众也高呼“Welcome back, Untouchable Jared!”，这个称号贯穿全文，既点明了Jared的身份，也体现了他坚韧不服输的精神，是全文的核心线索。 Passage 2 （2026·江苏宿迁·中考真题） “How were things going today, Zhao Min?” Mum asked me. “Terrible. Wang Xinyue got the role of Mulan at last,” I said. “Then what role did you get?” Mum added. “None,” I whispered. I ran to my bedroom and started drawing in my sketchbook (素描簿). Drawing always makes me feel better. The next day, Wang Xinyue was cheerful. But when the last bell rang, her mood changed. She was so nervous that she asked me to practice with her in the school hall. I wanted to say no. Then I realized I couldn’t leave yet. My parents had signed me up (报名) for the late bus, because I thought I would be in the play. In the hall, Ms Wu, director of the play, handed out copies of the script to all the actors. I sat in the third row, wishing I were in my bedroom drawing. Ms Wu pulled a cardboard onto the middle of the stage. It was brown with small hills and old city walls. Then the play started. Wang Xinyue acted so well that everybody cheered for her. I had to say that she was really suitable for the role of Mulan. “When will we get the real sets (布景)?” Wang Xinyue pointed to the cardboard. “These are the real sets,” Ms Wu said. “We don’t have an art teacher this year. So that’s the best we could do.” Wang Xinyue and I walked outside. “You were great,” I said. “Everyone will love the play.” “Thanks,” Wang Xinyue said. “But did you see the sets?” I thought for a moment. “Maybe I can help.” I spent that evening drawing. The next morning, I put my sketchbook into my backpack and ran to the bus. Time seemed to go more slowly. Finally, the last bell rang. I rushed to Ms Wu’s office and showed her my ideas. After seeing my ideas, she talked to some other teachers. They liked my ideas too. Over the next weeks, a corner of the lunchroom was filled with cardboard and paints. And lots of students were working on the sets. Finally, the opening night arrived. I sat next to Mum and Dad in the hall. When the curtain (幕布) rose, a piece of amazing cardboard appeared, on which was a huge land with rolling hills, well-trained soldiers and running horses. The play began. Wang Xinyue was a wonderful Mulan, and everyone clapped (鼓掌) when the play was over. Then Ms Wu called me up to the stage. She said into the microphone, “I’d like to thank the students who painted the sets. And special thanks to Zhao Min, who designed them. Her effort and talent made tonight extra special.” Everyone clapped. For me, I did get a part in the play after all. And it was just as good as being Mulan. 1.Who got the role of Mulan at last? A. Zhao Min. B. Wang Xinyue. C. Ms Wu. D. Mum. 2.Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Ms Wu showed special thanks to Zhao Min on the stage. b. Zhao Min rushed to Ms Wu’s office and expressed her ideas. c. Wang Xinyue asked Zhao Min to practice with her in the school hall. d. Zhao Min ran to her bedroom and started drawing in her sketchbook. A. d — c — b — a B. d — b — c — a C. a — b — c — d D. a — c — b — d 3.What can we infer (推断) from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 14? A. Zhao Min asked Mum to draw the sets with her. B. Zhao Min hoped to go home as soon as possible. C. Zhao Min wanted to tell her ideas to Ms Wu at once. D. Zhao Min wished Wang Xinyue to practice with her after school. 4.How did Zhao Min feel on the stage after hearing Ms Wu’s words? A. Tired. B. Sad. C. Shy. D. Proud. 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了赵敏因没选上话剧主角而感到失落，但在看到话剧布景简陋后，发挥自己的绘画特长主动帮忙设计布景，最终在演出成功后获得老师特别感谢的故事。文章告诉我们，每个人都有自己的闪光点，即使不是主角也能通过努力发光发热。 (1)题解析： 根据文章第二段“Wang Xinyue got the role of Mulan at last,”可知，最后得到木兰角色的是王新月。 (2)题解析： 根据文章情节发展顺序：d.第4段：“I ran to my bedroom and started drawing...”；c.第5段：“She was so nervous that she asked me to practice with her...”；b.第14段：“I rushed to Ms Wu’s office and showed her my ideas.”；a.倒数第2段：“And special thanks to Zhao Min...”，首先是赵敏得知自己没有角色后跑回卧室在素描本上画画（d），之后第二天王新月请赵敏在学校礼堂陪她练习（c），随后赵敏带着自己的设计想法冲到吴老师办公室展示创意（b），最后演出结束后吴老师在舞台上特别感谢赵敏（a），故正确顺序为d—c—b—a。 (3)题解析： 根据划线句“Time seemed to go more slowly.”以及后文“Finally, the last bell rang. I rushed to Ms Wu’s office...”可知，赵敏此时非常急切地想要把自己的设计想法告诉老师，因为太期待和焦急，所以感觉时间过得很慢。 (4)题解析： 根据文章“Her effort and talent made tonight extra special.”以及最后“Everyone clapped. For me, I did get a part in the play after all.”可知，听到老师的表扬和大家的掌声，赵敏感到自己的努力被认可，内心应该是感到自豪和骄傲的。 主题语境01 人与社会-著名人物 （2026·江苏连云港·中考真题）Xu Beihong was a pioneer of 20th century Chinese art, well known for his traditional ink-and-wash paintings of horses and birds.

Are you coming?” “Yes! Where are we going, Dad?” Helen asked. She didn’t often get to spend time with her father these days. He was always working, trying hard to make enough money to support Helen, her mother, and her brothers and sister. “We’ll be getting the rent (租金),” Mr. Resnick answered. The rent was the only way they were surviving. Before the Great Depression (经济大萧条), Mr. Resnick had bought a house and rented it to three families. Where the Resnicks would be without that rent money now, Helen really couldn’t imagine. Mrs. Miller gave them the money in dollar bills. Mr. Schmidt managed with a bag of coins. But the third family never had enough money. It had become harder and harder to accept their rent. But as Helen’s mother said, the money in Mr. Resnick’s hand by the end of today must be enough to last for the whole month. Mrs. Katz opened the door. Mr. Katz and the two children were sitting at a table, waiting for Mr. Resnick. They all have such thin faces! Helen thought. Mr. Katz gave Helen’s father the money he was holding. Mr. Resnick thanked him and turned to go. “Mr. Resnick?” Mrs. Katz said before they could leave. “We haven’t eaten in two days.” The two little kids began to cry. Without a word, Helen’s father put all of their rent money back on the table. Then he took out the rest of the money he’d collected that day and counted out two dollars. “Helen,” he said, “Use this to buy food and bring it right back here.” Helen ran all the way to the store. She chose cheap and good foods, like her mom would do. Two dollars bought such a lot! Helen carried the heavy bags back to the house. The kids cried with joy when they saw each favorite food. Mr. and Mrs. Katz laughed at that, and Helen thought it was their first laugh in a long, long time. 1.Why does the author mention the Great Depression? A. To present Helen’s wild imagination. B. To describe Helen’s unhappy childhood. C. To suggest a better way to make a living. D. To stress the importance of getting the rent. 2.What did Mrs. Katz mean by saying “We haven’t eaten in two days.”? A. She was too weak to cook. B. She would stop renting the house. C. She invited Mr. Resnick for dinner. D. She needed help to feed her family. 3.What can we learn about Mr. Resnick? A. He did not get any rent that day. B. He spent much time with his family. C. He would have a harder time that month. D. He was not satisfied with Helen’s shopping. 4.What does the story mainly tell us? A. Hard work brings good luck. B. Kindness shines even in difficult times. C. Silence speaks louder than actions. D. Kids should learn to use money properly. 【答案】1. D　2. D　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文讲述了经济大萧条时期，Resnick先生一家靠收租维生，但发现租户Katz一家已两天没吃饭后，Resnick先生将租金退还并额外拿钱让他们买食物的故事。 (1)题解析： 第二段指出“The rent was the only way they were surviving.”，结合下文对比大萧条前后的生活状态，借艰难的时代环境突出收取租金对 Resnick 一家至关重要。 (2)题解析： Mrs. Katz说“We haven’t eaten in two days.”，紧接着两个孩子开始哭泣。Katz 一家拖欠房租，且已经两天没有进食，这句话是向Resnick先生诉说自家窘迫处境，表达一家人缺少食物、急需接济。 (3)题解析： 第二段指出租金是他们生存的唯一来源，但最后三段中，Resnick先生将收到的Katz一家的租金全部退还“put all of their rent money back on the table”，并额外拿出钱让Helen买食物帮助Katz一家，说明他那个月会更艰难。 (4)题解析： 故事中Resnick先生在自己经济困难的情况下，仍选择帮助租户Katz一家，展现了即使在困难时期善良依然闪耀。 主题语境01 人与社会-文学 Passage 1 （2026·江苏苏州·中考真题）In 2014, doctors told Cai Lu he would never walk again. After twelve years, the 34-year-old is proving them wrong—not just by walking, but by running a company. When he was 22, he lost his right leg in an accident on a business trip. In 2018, Cai began using a prosthetic (义肢) and relearned to walk. But stepping outside was another fight for him. The stares (凝视) he received made him uncomfortable. A turning point came through Wei Qing, who is a member of a local disabled persons’ organization. Wei visited Cai repeatedly, gently inviting him to attend group outings. Cai finally went. “I realized I wasn’t alone,” he said. Around 2020, Cai tried starting a fried chicken delivery (外卖) business but failed. “Don’t rush. Take your time,” his mother told him. Hearing her words, Cai stepped back and poured himself into training programs. In 2023, he won a national championship for persons with disabilities in tea art—an achievement that gave him the confidence to start his prosthetics company the same year. As a prosthetic user himself, Cai could better understand his customers. “Traditional companies fit you and send you away,” he said. “We provide full life cycle service: pre-fitting training, fitting, and future support.” His athletic career has also taken off. In 2025, Cai was chosen for China’s disabled park golf (高尔夫) team. When he isn’t on the green or in the company, he travels as a speaker for schools across Zhejiang province. Looking back at his experiences, we find the message is simple: “Keep being brave.” 1.What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2? A. He couldn’t step outside with disabilities. B. He was afraid of being treated differently. C. He lost the chance to go on a business trip. D. He was worried about another accident. 2.What is the right order of Cai Lu’s experiences? a. He was badly hurt in an accident. b. He started his prosthetics company. c. He tried a fried chicken delivery business. d. He won a national championship in tea art. A. b-a-d-c B. b-a-c-d C. a-c-b-d D. a-c-d-b 3.What makes Cai Lu’s company different from traditional ones? A. It provides free support. B. It helps to fit customers. C. It offers full-period service. D. It sends customers home. 4.What is the main message we can get from Cai Lu’s story? A. Accept help from others. B. Obey traffic rules strictly. C. Spread ideas in schools. D. Face challenges bravely. 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文讲述了蔡璐在遭遇车祸失去右腿后，克服心理障碍、创业失败等重重困难，最终成功创办假肢公司并投身体育和演讲事业的故事，传递了勇敢面对挑战的正能量。 (1)题解析： 第二段提到：“But stepping outside was another fight for him. The stares (凝视) he received made him uncomfortable.”，说明让他感到困扰的是外界的注视（stares），即他害怕因为残疾而受到不同的对待或异样眼光。 (2)题解析： 根据文章时间线梳理：a. 22岁时遭遇事故受伤（第二段）；c. 2020年左右尝试炸鸡外卖业务但失败（第四段）；d. 2023年获得全国残疾人茶艺冠军（第四段）；b. 同年（2023年）创立假肢公司（第四段）。因此正确顺序是a-c-d-b。 (3)题解析： 第五段中蔡璐说：“Traditional companies fit you and send you away... We provide full life cycle service: pre-fitting training, fitting, and future support.”，说明他的公司与传统公司的不同在于提供全生命周期的服务（full life cycle service），即全程服务。 (4)题解析： 文章最后一段总结道：“Looking back at his experiences, we find the message is simple: ‘Keep being brave.’”，且全文贯穿了他面对残疾、创业失败等挑战时勇敢坚持的精神，因此主旨是勇敢面对挑战。 Passage 2 （2026·江苏苏州·中考真题） I am a free dog called Johannes. I live in a large park by the sea. Freya is one of the three Bison (野牛) who live in an area with a fence (篱笆) within the park. Recently, I wanted to set them free and I almost succeeded. Towards the end of the journey, Freya said to me, “We can’t go on that ship.” “But it’s right down there,” I said. “We’ve already done the hard part. The goats (羊) have performed their duties, jumping and crying and making chaos (混乱) all around, so you wouldn’t be found when you hid among them. Everything’s ready.” I was worried, for the sky was growing brighter, and it would be more difficult for the goats to hide the Bison from humans as they went down the hill. “No,” Freya said. “We’re not going. We thought we could, but this short journey has already proven we are not ready for more. We can’t make it.” “But why let me—let all of us—go through all this trouble?” I asked. “You needn’t be angry,” Freya said. “Or sad. Or even surprised. Look at us. We’re slow and old. We couldn’t go across the sea in strange boats. Seeing this is enough.” She was still looking at the morning sea, which had grown brighter and whiter. She turned to me then. “Thank you, Johannes.” She turned to the goats. “We are so thankful. We have lived quiet lives. But you have freed our eyes and our minds. What you did today mattered a great deal. You gave us the sea. And we will not forget it.” I tried to organize my thoughts. Was all this for nothing? And would we all have to go back to the park? I stood on the top of that small mountain, wondering what to do. Then one of the goats said to me, “You could come with us. We will protect you, and when you reach the mainland, you can stay with us, or simply run free. There are a million free dogs like you. You can run with them and see places and things.” I thought about this. I knew it was true. I knew I would go. 1.What did Freya think of their journey? A. It was worth it. B. It was too long. C. It was boring. D. It was smooth. 2.What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. The goats messed up everything. B. Their plan was very well-organized. C. The Bison were at the foot of the hill. D. Their secret was discovered by humans. 3.What would Johannes do in the end? A. Protect the goats. B. Join the Bison. C. Continue the journey. D. Return to the park. 4.What is the theme of the story? A. Some friends cannot be trusted. B. Humans can make friends with animals. C. We can make choices for others. D. Everyone can find their place in the world. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文讲述了一只名叫Johannes的流浪狗试图帮助公园里的野牛（Bison）逃离围栏、获得自由的故事。虽然野牛因为年老体弱最终选择放弃逃跑，但它们感激这次经历让它们看到了大海，心灵得到了解放。最后，山羊邀请Johannes加入它们前往大陆，Johannes决定继续追寻自由。 (1)题解析： 文章第七段中，Freya对Johannes说：“What you did today mattered a great deal. You gave us the sea. And we will not forget it.”（你今天做的非常重要。你让我们看到了大海。我们不会忘记。）这表明尽管它们没有成功逃脱，但这次旅程让它们在精神上获得了自由和满足，因此Freya认为这次旅程是值得的（It was worth it）。 (2)题解析： 第三段中Johannes提到：“The goats have performed their duties, jumping and crying and making chaos... so you wouldn’t be found... Everything’s ready.”，说明山羊们按照计划制造混乱来掩护野牛，且Johannes认为“一切都准备好了”，这暗示他们的计划是经过精心组织和安排的（very well-organized）。A项错误，山羊并没有搞砸，而是履行了职责；C项错误，文中说他们正在下山（went down the hill），并未明确说已在山脚；D项错误，文中说天色变亮会增加难度，但未说秘密已被发现。 (3)题解析： 文章最后两段提到，一只山羊邀请Johannes一起去大陆（“You could come with us...when you reach the mainland...”），Johannes思考后认为这是真的，并说：“I knew I would go.”（我知道我会去。）这意味着他决定离开公园，跟随山羊继续这段通往自由的旅程（Continue the journey）。 (4)题解析： 故事中，野牛虽然身体被困，但通过看海找到了心灵的归宿；Johannes原本迷茫，最终找到了加入山羊群、奔向广阔天地的方向；山羊也有自己的生存方式。故事强调了每个角色都在寻找或确认自己在世界中的位置和价值。A项错误，朋友是可信的；B项非主旨；C项错误，Johannes尊重了野牛的选择，并未强加意愿。因此，D项“每个人都能在世界中找到自己的位置”最符合主题。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题语境01 人与自我-个人情况 Passage 1 （2026·江苏无锡·中考真题） “Please help me get through this!” I watched the big LED screen.

Wang Xinyue got the role of Mulan at last,” I said. “Then what role did you get?” Mum added. “None,” I whispered. I ran to my bedroom and started drawing in my sketchbook (素描簿). Drawing always makes me feel better. The next day, Wang Xinyue was cheerful. But when the last bell rang, her mood changed. She was so nervous that she asked me to practice with her in the school hall. I wanted to say no. Then I realized I couldn’t leave yet.

Wang Xinyue acted so well that everybody cheered for her. I had to say that she was really suitable for the role of Mulan. “When will we get the real sets (布景)?” Wang Xinyue pointed to the cardboard. “These are the real sets,” Ms Wu said. “We don’t have an art teacher this year.

She didn’t often get to spend time with her father these days. He was always working, trying hard to make enough money to support Helen, her mother, and her brothers and sister. “We’ll be getting the rent (租金),” Mr. Resnick answered. The rent was the only way they were surviving. Before the Great Depression (经济大萧条), Mr. Resnick had bought a house and rented it to three families. Where the Resnicks would be without that rent money now, Helen really couldn’t imagine. Mrs. Miller gave them the money in dollar bills. Mr. Schmidt managed with a bag of coins. But the third family never had enough money. It had become harder and harder to accept their rent. But as Helen’s mother said, the money in Mr. Resnick’s hand by the end of today must be enough to last for the whole month. Mrs. Katz opened the door. Mr. Katz and the two children were sitting at a table, waiting for Mr. Resnick. They all have such thin faces! Helen thought. Mr. Katz gave Helen’s father the money he was holding. Mr. Resnick thanked him and turned to go. “Mr. Resnick?” Mrs. Katz said before they could leave. “We haven’t eaten in two days.” The two little kids began to cry. Without a word, Helen’s father put all of their rent money back on the table. Then he took out the rest of the money he’d collected that day and counted out two dollars. “Helen,” he said, “Use this to buy food and bring it right back here.” Helen ran all the way to the store. She chose cheap and good foods, like her mom would do. Two dollars bought such a lot! Helen carried the heavy bags back to the house. The kids cried with joy when they saw each favorite food. Mr. and Mrs. Katz laughed at that, and Helen thought it was their first laugh in a long, long time. 1.Why does the author mention the Great Depression? A. To present Helen’s wild imagination. B.

After twelve years, the 34-year-old is proving them wrong—not just by walking, but by running a company. When he was 22, he lost his right leg in an accident on a business trip. In 2018, Cai began using a prosthetic (义肢) and relearned to walk. But stepping outside was another fight for him. The stares (凝视) he received made him uncomfortable. A turning point came through Wei Qing, who is a member of a local disabled persons’ organization. Wei visited Cai repeatedly, gently inviting him to attend group outings. Cai finally went. “I realized I wasn’t alone,” he said. Around 2020, Cai tried starting a fried chicken delivery (外卖) business but failed. “Don’t rush. Take your time,” his mother told him. Hearing her words, Cai stepped back and poured himself into training programs. In 2023, he won a national championship for persons with disabilities in tea art—an achievement that gave him the confidence to start his prosthetics company the same year. As a prosthetic user himself, Cai could better understand his customers. “Traditional companies fit you and send you away,” he said. “We provide full life cycle service: pre-fitting training, fitting, and future support.” His athletic career has also taken off. In 2025, Cai was chosen for China’s disabled park golf (高尔夫) team. When he isn’t on the green or in the company, he travels as a speaker for schools across Zhejiang province.

Freya is one of the three Bison (野牛) who live in an area with a fence (篱笆) within the park. Recently, I wanted to set them free and I almost succeeded. Towards the end of the journey, Freya said to me, “We can’t go on that ship.” “But it’s right down there,” I said. “We’ve already done the hard part. The goats (羊) have performed their duties, jumping and crying and making chaos (混乱) all around, so you wouldn’t be found when you hid among them. Everything’s ready.” I was worried, for the sky was growing brighter, and it would be more difficult for the goats to hide the Bison from humans as they went down the hill. “No,” Freya said. “We’re not going. We thought we could, but this short journey has already proven we are not ready for more. We can’t make it.” “But why let me—let all of us—go through all this trouble?” I asked. “You needn’t be angry,” Freya said. “Or sad. Or even surprised. Look at us. We’re slow and old. We couldn’t go across the sea in strange boats. Seeing this is enough.” She was still looking at the morning sea, which had grown brighter and whiter. She turned to me then. “Thank you, Johannes.” She turned to the goats. “We are so thankful. We have lived quiet lives. But you have freed our eyes and our minds. What you did today mattered a great deal. You gave us the sea. And we will not forget it.” I tried to organize my thoughts. Was all this for nothing? And would we all have to go back to the park? I stood on the top of that small mountain, wondering what to do. Then one of the goats said to me, “You could come with us. We will protect you, and when you reach the mainland, you can stay with us, or simply run free. There are a million free dogs like you. You can run with them and see places and things.” I thought about this. I knew it was true. I knew I would go. 1.What did Freya think of their journey? A. It was worth it. B. It was too long. C. It was boring. D. It was smooth. 2.What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. The goats messed up everything. B. Their plan was very well-organized. C. The Bison were at the foot of the hill. D.
