I don’t like it!” 1.结构拆分：After thinking for a while 是时间状语；主句是 I said firmly，后面接直接引语。 2.核心语法：after doing sth. 做完某事之后；stop doing sth. 停止正在做的事。 3.写作仿写：After thinking carefully, I told him firmly, “Stop interrupting me.” 例句 4 Sometimes, it is helpful to speak out bravely instead of keeping back our feelings. 1.结构拆分：主句是 it is helpful to do sth.；instead of 后面接 keeping back our feelings。 2.核心语法：it is + 形容词 + to do sth.；instead of doing sth. 而不是做某事。 3.写作仿写：It is helpful to ask for advice instead of keeping your problems to yourself. 例句 5 Exercise always makes people feel better because it gives you a chance to breathe and relax. 1.结构拆分：主句是 Exercise always makes people feel better；后面是 because 引导的原因状语从句。 2.核心语法：make sb. feel better 使某人感觉更好；because 引导原因状语从句。 3.写作仿写：Talking to friends makes you feel better because it helps you relax. Passage 1 Mrs. Smith, 32, is an American teacher. She is having a different lesson in the classroom. She doesn’t open the book. She shows $100 to her students. She asks them, “Would you like to have it? If yes, please put your hands up.” Every hand in the room goes up. “One of you will get it. But first, let me do this,” Mrs. Smith says again. She takes the money and crumples it up (弄皱) in her hands. Then she asks, “________” The hands stay up. The teacher then puts it on the floor, stomps on it and then picks it back up. “How about now?” she asks again. The hands stay up. “Boys and girls, I hope you can learn something here. I did some bad things to this money. But you still wanted it because its value (价值) stayed the same. Even it’s crumpled and dirty, it’s still $100,” Mrs. Smith says. “It’s the same with us. You will meet a lot of problems in your life. Don’t feel afraid of them. Remember that you always have value. You are very special all the time.” 1．What do we know about Mrs. Smith? A．She has a lot of money. B．She is a Chinese teacher. C．She is twenty-two years old. D．She is from the United States. 2．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to “________”. A．the book B．the lesson C．the band D．the money 3．Which of the following can we put in________? A．How much is it? B．Who still wants it? C．What do you want? D．Who enjoys his time? 4．The underlined word “stomps” means “_________” in Chinese. A．举 B．擦 C．踩 D．藏           5．What can we learn from the reading? A．It’s not easy to make money. B．Every person should be nice. C．It’s important to study hard. D．Everybody has his value. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述美国教师史密斯夫人在课堂借助百元纸币展开教学，经过揉搓、踩踏纸币的操作后，纸币依旧被学生想要，借此向学生传递：人纵使历经磨难，自身的价值永远不会消失的人生道理。 【详解】1．第一段第一句：“Mrs. Smith, 32, is an American teacher.”，原文表明史密斯夫人32岁、是美国老师。 2．第一段第四句：“She shows $100 to her students. ”，紧接着第二段提到：“She asks them, ‘Would you like to have it? If yes, please put your hands up.’”，代词it指代上文出现的$100，即the money。 3．第六段后一句：“The hands stay up.”，揉皱纸币后学生依旧举手想要，由此推断老师的提问为“谁还想要它？”。 4．第七段第一句：“The teacher then puts it on the floor, stomps on it and then picks it back up.”，动作顺序为把钱放地面→stomp→捡起，结合生活常识可推出stomps意为“踩”。 5．最后一段第四、五句：“Remember that you always have value. You are very special all the time.”，全文借纸币价值不变类比人的自身价值，核心主旨是每个人都拥有自身价值。 Passage 2 I Am Special; So Are You Imagine just how boring life would be if Mother Nature believed in uniformity. All living beings (生物) are the same color and shape: the leaves on every tree, the fish in every sea, and hey, maybe even you and me. Eeks! Wouldn’t life be a shame (令人惋惜的事) if everything looked, felt and smelled exactly the same? Luckily, we all have our own shapes and sizes with different looks, talents and surprises. Each has a special strength or a weakness. I guess that’s what gives us our uniqueness. I’ve got friends who are strong and friends who are tall, friends who are thin and friends who are small, friends who wear glasses or use a wheelchair (轮椅), and friends with braces (牙套) or funny things in their hair. So love who you are. In life, have an aim (目标). Be happy to be special, not boringly the same. Be who you are. Do what you do. We are all really special because I am me, and you are you! 1．The passage above is a ________. A．story B．poem C．moment D．plan 2．If all things around us are the same, our life would be  ________. A．interesting B．boring C．colorful D．special 3．The meaning of the word uniqueness in Chinese is ________. A．大同小异 B．平分秋色 C．独一无二 D．平平无奇 4．________ may not be the writer’s friend. A．Tom who is tall and thin B．Laura who wears braces C．John who can’t walk D．Lisa who is very creative 5．According to the passage, we may add picture ________ as an illustration (插图). A． B． C． D． 6．The passage above shows that ________. A．everyone should accept himself/herself B．everyone should make different friends C．everyone should have special aims D．everyone should be happy all the time 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．B 6．A 【导语】本文是一首诗歌，通过对比自然界万物的多样性，强调每个人都有独特之处，应接纳自己、珍视差异。 【详解】1．本文以分行、押韵的形式呈现，语言富有节奏感和想象力，符合诗歌的特征。 2．根据第“if Mother Nature believed in uniformity... Wouldn’t life be a shame if everything looked, felt and smelled exactly the same?”可知，如果万物相同，生活会变得乏味。 3．根据上下文，前一句“Each has a special strength or a weakness.”说明每个人都有独特的长处或短处，后一句“I guess that’s what gives us our uniqueness.”中的“that”指代前文提到的“每个人各有不同”。由此推断，uniqueness意为“独一无二”。 4．文中作者列举的朋友特征包括“strong, tall, thin, small, wear glasses, use a wheelchair, wear braces, have funny things in their hair”，未提及“very creative”。 5．诗歌最后强调“So love who you are.”“Be happy to be special”“Be who you are.”，主题是接纳自我、为独特而开心，情绪积极乐观。插画B的笑脸形象最能体现这种自信、阳光的氛围。 6．诗歌最后强调“So love who you are.”“Be happy to be special”“Be who you are.”，因此主旨是每个人都应接纳自己。 Passage 3 He was just an ordinary postman. Day after day, he shuttled (穿梭) back and forth across the village. For him, life was without waves. One day, he was delivering mail as usual. When he looked up in the sky, he suddenly lost his balance because a little stone tripped him up (绊倒). He looked down at the stone carefully, finding it strange but beautiful. In his eyes, this stone was like a lost jewel (宝石) covered with dust (灰尘). The postman then placed the stone in his bag carefully. Because of this stone’s arrival, his day was lightened. He suddenly had a good idea—I can build a castle with such beautiful stones. How wonderful it will be! His usual life started to be different since then. He still delivered mail, but he collected every stone he could find along the way. All those dusty stones, in his eyes, glittered like diamonds. Gradually, his small bag couldn’t hold his stones any more and he needed to use a wheelbarrow (独轮手推车) to carry them. People didn’t understand what happened when they saw the postman delivering letters with a wheelbarrow full of stones. After collecting enough stones, he started to build his castle. During the daytime, he passed along the dreams of others; and during the nighttime, he built his own dream. Someone laughed at him and no one joined him, but he still happily kept on building his castle. Because he knew, the dream and the castle only belonged to him. After 20 years of working day and night, the postman’s dream castle was finally completed. It was a magnificent castle just as he had imagined. This is a real story. The postman’s name is Xue Waller. The stone castle has become a famous tourist attraction in France, which is called “ideal palace of Ferdinand Cheval”. At the entrance of the stone castle, there is a sentence—“I want to know how far a dream stone can go.” 1．The postman found the stone because he ________. A．lost his balance B．lost his bag C．felt happy D．lost a jewel 2．The postman’s own dream was to ________. A．collect stones B．deliver mails C．find diamonds D．build his castle 3．The underlined word “glittered” in the third paragraph may mean “________”. A．shone B．cleaned C．posted D．hid 4．Which of the following is NOT TRUE? A．A little stone tripped the postman up while he was delivering mail as usual. B．The postman collected every stone he would find along the way. C．The postman built his castle with the help of his family and friends. D．The postman spent twenty years building his stone castle. 5．The postman named Xue Waller was ________. A．German B．French C．British D．American 6．From the passage we can learn that ________. A．the postman had a colourful life before he found the stone B．the postman gave up his job in order to build his stone castle C．the stone that tripped the postman up was a real jewel D．though people didn’t understand him, the postman continued his dream-building a castle 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．B 6．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一位普通邮递员在送信途中被一块石头绊倒，发现石头的特别后开始收集石头，并最终用这些石头建成了自己梦想中的城堡的故事。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据“When he looked up in the sky, he suddenly lost his balance because a little stone tripped him up (绊倒). He looked down at the stone carefully, finding it strange but beautiful.”可知，邮递员发现这块石头是因为他被石头绊倒了，失去了平衡。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“After collecting enough stones, he started to build his castle.”以及“Because he knew, the dream and the castle only belonged to him.”可知，邮递员自己的梦想是建造自己的城堡。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据“All those dusty stones, in his eyes, glittered like diamonds.”可知，在他眼里，所有那些布满灰尘的石头都像钻石一样闪闪发光，由此可以推断出“glittered”意为“闪闪发光”，与“shone”意思相近。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“Someone laughed at him and no one joined him, but he still happily kept on building his castle.”可知，邮递员是在没有家人和朋友帮助的情况下独自建造城堡的，C选项“The postman built his castle with the help of his family and friends.”表述错误。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据“The stone castle has become a famous tourist attraction in France, which is called ‘ideal palace of Ferdinand Cheval’.”可知，这位邮递员是法国人。故选B。 6．细节理解题。根据“Someone laughed at him and no one joined him, but he still happily kept on building his castle.”可知，尽管人们不理解他，但邮递员还是继续他的梦想——建造城堡。故选D。 Passage 4 Lily doesn’t like reading. When the teacher gave out storybooks, she just looked at the pages. The words looked messy (凌乱的) to her, and she could never finish a book. She thought, “I’ll never be good at this.” One afternoon, her class visited the school library. The librarian (图书管理员), Mrs. Green noticed Lily just standing there. She handed her a book with pictures of rabbits. “Try this,” she said. “It’s short, and the story is interesting.” Lily took the book home. At first, she read only one page a day. Sometimes she had to ask her mom what a word meant (意思). But the rabbit’s story made her curious. She wanted to know what the rabbit would do next. Weeks later, Lily finished the book! She was so happy that she ran to tell Mrs. Green. The librarian smiled and gave her another book. Now, Lily loves reading. She knows that even if something is hard at first, keep trying, and you’ll get better. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．Why didn’t Lily like reading at first? A．Because she had no storybooks at home. B．Because the teacher didn’t let her read. C．Because the words looked messy to her. D．Because she didn’t like the librarian. 2．When did Lily’s class go to the school library? A．In the morning. B．In the afternoon. C．In the evening. D．On the weekend. 3．What does the underlined word “curious” mean? A． B． C． D． 4．What happened (发生) after Lily finished the first book? A．She stopped reading.

B．Hard things get better with trying. C．Only picture books are good to read. D．She should only read about animals. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了莉莉一开始讨厌阅读，觉得文字杂乱无法读完一本书，在图书馆管理员格林夫人的鼓励下，她从一本带兔子插画的薄书开始尝试阅读，慢慢爱上读书，最终明白凡事只要坚持尝试就会慢慢变好的道理。 【详解】1．根据第一段“The words looked messy to her, and she could never finish a book.”可知，对她来说文字看起来乱糟糟的，所以她不喜欢阅读。 2．根据第二段“One afternoon, her class visited the school library.”可知，她班级是在下午去的图书馆。 3．根据第三段“She wanted to know what the rabbit would do next.”可知，她想要知道兔子接下来会做什么，能看出她内心充满好奇；因此，“curious”对应好奇的表情。 4．根据第四段“Weeks later, Lily finished the book! She was so happy that she ran to tell Mrs. Green. The librarian smiled and gave her another book.”可知，格林夫人又给了她另一本书。 5．最后一段“She knows that even if something is hard at first, keep trying, and you’ll get better.”点明主旨：哪怕事情一开始很难，坚持尝试就会慢慢变好。 1．在生活中，我们遇到过各种问题或者令人烦恼的事，你都是怎么克服或解决的呢？请分享一个小故事，说说你遇到过什么问题或者烦恼？你是如何解决的？解决问题后，你有什么感受？ 要求： 1. 给故事起一个题目； 2. 作文不少于50词。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 例文 How I Overcame My Fear I used to be afraid of speaking English in class.

The teacher then puts it on the floor, stomps on it and then picks it back up. “How about now?” she asks again. The hands stay up. “Boys and girls, I hope you can learn something here. I did some bad things to this money. But you still wanted it because its value (价值) stayed the same. Even it’s crumpled and dirty, it’s still $100,” Mrs. Smith says. “It’s the same with us.

Passage 2 I Am Special; So Are You Imagine just how boring life would be if Mother Nature believed in uniformity. All living beings (生物) are the same color and shape: the leaves on every tree, the fish in every sea, and hey, maybe even you and me. Eeks! Wouldn’t life be a shame (令人惋惜的事) if everything looked, felt and smelled exactly the same? Luckily, we all have our own shapes and sizes with different looks, talents and surprises. Each has a special strength or a weakness. I guess that’s what gives us our uniqueness. I’ve got friends who are strong and friends who are tall, friends who are thin and friends who are small, friends who wear glasses or use a wheelchair (轮椅), and friends with braces (牙套) or funny things in their hair. So love who you are. In life, have an aim (目标). Be happy to be special, not boringly the same. Be who you are. Do what you do.

Day after day, he shuttled (穿梭) back and forth across the village. For him, life was without waves. One day, he was delivering mail as usual. When he looked up in the sky, he suddenly lost his balance because a little stone tripped him up (绊倒). He looked down at the stone carefully, finding it strange but beautiful. In his eyes, this stone was like a lost jewel (宝石) covered with dust (灰尘). The postman then placed the stone in his bag carefully. Because of this stone’s arrival, his day was lightened. He suddenly had a good idea—I can build a castle with such beautiful stones. How wonderful it will be! His usual life started to be different since then. He still delivered mail, but he collected every stone he could find along the way. All those dusty stones, in his eyes, glittered like diamonds. Gradually, his small bag couldn’t hold his stones any more and he needed to use a wheelbarrow (独轮手推车) to carry them. People didn’t understand what happened when they saw the postman delivering letters with a wheelbarrow full of stones. After collecting enough stones, he started to build his castle. During the daytime, he passed along the dreams of others; and during the nighttime, he built his own dream. Someone laughed at him and no one joined him, but he still happily kept on building his castle. Because he knew, the dream and the castle only belonged to him. After 20 years of working day and night, the postman’s dream castle was finally completed. It was a magnificent castle just as he had imagined. This is a real story. The postman’s name is Xue Waller.

When the teacher gave out storybooks, she just looked at the pages. The words looked messy (凌乱的) to her, and she could never finish a book.
