He was interested in reading. But his family was too poor to buy lamp oil (灯油), so he could’t read when it got dark. This made him very sad because he didn’t want to waste time. One summer night, he saw many fireflies (萤火虫) lighting up outdoors. They looked like tiny stars. Then he had an idea: What if I put many fireflies together? Maybe they can give me enough light to read. Then he found a thin white cloth bag, caught as many fireflies as possible, and kept it up. Although it did not work as well as a lamp, it was just enough for him to see the words in his books. Every night, he studied under the light of fireflies. Because of his hard work and cleverness, Che Yin later became an excellent government official (政府官员). While Che Yin used fireflies to read at night in summer, another boy found a clever way in winter. Sun Kang also liked reading at night. One winter night, Sun Kang woke up and found light coming in through the crack (裂缝) of his window. He went out and saw that it was the moonlight reflected by the snow, making everything bright. Even though it was cold, Sun took his books out and read under moonlight. Like Che Yin, Sun Kang worked hard and succeeded. He learned a lot and got a good job in the government.

A cyclone (龙卷风) is coming!” Dorothy got up to go with her aunt under the house, but Toto ran under her bed. Dorothy was worried about Toto. “Come on, Dorothy!” said Aunt Em. “I can see the cyclone getting closer!” She opened a door in the floor of her room, and ran down under the house. Dorothy could not go without Toto, so ▲ and pulled Toto out from under it. As she was running to the door in her aunt’s room, the cyclone hit their home with a great noise, and lifted the house up in the air. The noise and the movement of the house were very scary to Dorothy. Round and round inside the cyclone, the house spun (旋转), very far from the ground. She thought that all was lost. But the house did not fall. The cyclone took it far away; and the longer Dorothy was in the air, the less scary it became for her. She even became tired, and lay down in her bed. 1.What’s the relation (关系) between Em and Henry? A. Mother and son. B. Daughter and father. C. Uncle and aunt. D. Husband and wife. 2.Which sentence can be put in the ▲ ?

A. Arrival in a new place. B. Search for her house. C. Feelings in the sky. D. Unhappy life on the farm. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. D　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文讲述了龙卷风来袭，多萝西为了找回小狗托托没能及时躲藏，最终和房子一起被龙卷风卷到空中的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“Dorothy lived on a farm with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry.”可知，埃姆是多萝西的姨妈，亨利是多萝西的姨父，因此埃姆和亨利是夫妻关系。故选D。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据前文“Toto ran under her bed. Dorothy was worried about Toto.”以及后文“pulled Toto out from under it”可知，托托跑到了床底下，多萝西担心它，所以要跑到床边把它拉出来，“it”指代前文的“her bed”。故选B。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“Only Dorothy ever laughed or smiled, and that was because of her dog, Toto”可知，多萝西和托托在一起的心情是“开心的（c）”；根据“Dorothy was worried about Toto.”可知，龙卷风来袭时，托托跑到床底，多萝西担心托托，心情变为“担忧的（a）”；根据“The noise and the movement of the house were very scary to Dorothy.”可知，房子被龙卷风卷起，噪音和移动让她感到“害怕的（b）”；根据“She even became tired, and lay down in her bed”可知，在空中待久了之后，她变得“疲惫的（d）”，并躺在床上。因此情绪变化顺序为cabd。故选D。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The cyclone took it far away”可知，龙卷风把房子卷到了很远的地方，接下来作者很可能会讲述多萝西和房子到达一个新地方后的经历。故选A。 Passage 2 （25-26八上·广东江门怡福中学·期中）If a person lost an arm, how could he still play basketball well?

One of the students, 14-year-old Song Zhengchen, shared his family’s heirloom—a tape player. His grandmother bought the player in the 1980s to listen to the news. Later, his mother used it to play music tapes. When Song was younger, his mother would often play old poems for him on the player. “Today, we have many new advanced (先进的) music players. But we still keep it because it holds beautiful memories of my family,” Song said. For example, he often uses it to enjoy his favourite songs. Although sometimes it is too old to work successfully, he still sees it as a treasure. Another student, Xiao Yao, also 14, won first prize in the activity.

Xiao was amazed when her grandmother told her stories about this difficult time. “My grandma wants me to be thankful for what we have today and to work hard for a better future,” Xiao explained. The heirloom stories shared by the students reflect (反映) the rich history and beautiful memories of their families. These heirlooms connect them to the past and remind them of the hardships their ancestors faced.

I looked up and met her smiling eyes. Although I only replied “thank you”, it turned sunny in my heart. When I got home, I rushed to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. For the first time, I could look at my birthmark without quickly turning away. The shape of it was truly like a flower. The next day, to my surprise, Maddie painted a red rose on her own face!

But three months later, she found the club was more than that—it was a bridge between her and kids in mountain villages. The club’s rule is simple: students bring old storybooks, picture books, or textbooks they don’t need anymore. Every Wednesday afternoon, volunteers (志愿者) get together to sort the books by subject—putting storybooks in one box and textbooks in another. Some also stick handwritten notes of encouragement in the books; Jiawei once wrote “This book took me to magical worlds—hope it does the same for you!” in a fairy tale book. She thought her note might be like a stone dropped into the sea. However, to her surprise, she got a letter back from a 9-year-old girl in Songyang, a mountainous area in Zhejiang, saying she reread the story three times and she would cherish this special “gift” forever. “That letter made me cry,” Jiawei smiled. The girl in Songyang touched Li with her words. “I never knew that small things like old books or a few words could be so powerful,” Jiawei told the reporter. After that, the two girls began to become good friends and shared everything in letters. So far, the club has collected over 2,000 books and sent them to 12 small primary schools. “Our volunteers will make sure each book is clean and pack it carefully. Sharing books isn’t just about giving away old things,” said Ms. Zhang, the club’s advisor. “It’s about passing on kindness and letting both sides feel the pleasure of communication.” 1.What did Li Jiawei think of the “Old Book Sharing” club at first? A. It would let her read more magical stories. B. It was only for clearing out her used textbooks. C. It asked her to write letters to other students. D.

But his family was too poor to buy lamp oil (灯油), so he could’t read when it got dark. This made him very sad because he didn’t want to waste time. One summer night, he saw many fireflies (萤火虫) lighting up outdoors. They looked like tiny stars. Then he had an idea: What if I put many fireflies together? Maybe they can give me enough light to read. Then he found a thin white cloth bag, caught as many fireflies as possible, and kept it up. Although it did not work as well as a lamp, it was just enough for him to see the words in his books. Every night, he studied under the light of fireflies. Because of his hard work and cleverness, Che Yin later became an excellent government official (政府官员). While Che Yin used fireflies to read at night in summer, another boy found a clever way in winter. Sun Kang also liked reading at night. One winter night, Sun Kang woke up and found light coming in through the crack (裂缝) of his window. He went out and saw that it was the moonlight reflected by the snow, making everything bright. Even though it was cold, Sun took his books out and read under moonlight. Like Che Yin, Sun Kang worked hard and succeeded. He learned a lot and got a good job in the government. The stories of Che Yin and Sun Kang were later put together into a Chinese idiom. Can you guess what it is? 1.Why couldn’t Che Yin read at night at first? A. He was too tired. B. His family was too poor to buy lamp oil. C. The weather was too dark. D. He didn’t like reading outside. 2.What did Sun Kang use to read at night? A. Light from fireflies. B. Light from a lamp. C. Light from the snow reflecting moonlight. D. Light from his window. 3.What’s the Chinese idiom that comes from these two stories?

Teachers asked students to share the stories of their family heirlooms (传家宝). Over 300 students took part in it, bringing their heirlooms to school and telling the stories behind them. One of the students, 14-year-old Song Zhengchen, shared his family’s heirloom—a tape player. His grandmother bought the player in the 1980s to listen to the news. Later, his mother used it to play music tapes. When Song was younger, his mother would often play old poems for him on the player. “Today, we have many new advanced (先进的) music players. But we still keep it because it holds beautiful memories of my family,” Song said. For example, he often uses it to enjoy his favourite songs. Although sometimes it is too old to work successfully, he still sees it as a treasure. Another student, Xiao Yao, also 14, won first prize in the activity. Her heirlooms were some food coupons (粮票) from her grandmother. These coupons were used during a time when food was scarce. In the past, families could only buy a small amount of food each month, and even rice needed a food coupon. Xiao was amazed when her grandmother told her stories about this difficult time. “My grandma wants me to be thankful for what we have today and to work hard for a better future,” Xiao explained. The heirloom stories shared by the students reflect (反映) the rich history and beautiful memories of their families. These heirlooms connect them to the past and remind them of the hardships their ancestors faced.

But three months later, she found the club was more than that—it was a bridge between her and kids in mountain villages. The club’s rule is simple: students bring old storybooks, picture books, or textbooks they don’t need anymore. Every Wednesday afternoon, volunteers (志愿者) get together to sort the books by subject—putting storybooks in one box and textbooks in another. Some also stick handwritten notes of encouragement in the books; Jiawei once wrote “This book took me to magical worlds—hope it does the same for you!” in a fairy tale book. She thought her note might be like a stone dropped into the sea. However, to her surprise, she got a letter back from a 9-year-old girl in Songyang, a mountainous area in Zhejiang, saying she reread the story three times and she would cherish this special “gift” forever. “That letter made me cry,” Jiawei smiled. The girl in Songyang touched Li with her words. “I never knew that small things like old books or a few words could be so powerful,” Jiawei told the reporter. After that, the two girls began to become good friends and shared everything in letters. So far, the club has collected over 2,000 books and sent them to 12 small primary schools. “Our volunteers will make sure each book is clean and pack it carefully.
