四、背诵范文(我最特别的礼物)
My Most Special Gift
Among all the gifts I have received, a handwoven cloth bag from my mother is the most special one. She gave it to me on my fourteenth birthday.
When I opened the small box, I touched its soft cotton surface and fell in love with it at once. I was greatly surprised by its gentle colour and neat stitches. Mum told me she sacrificed almost all her spare time to finish it. She searched for proper cloth in shops and practised weaving for weeks just to prepare this warm surprise for me. My heart was full of love the moment I held the bag tightly.
Now I keep it on my desk and take it to school every day. It costs nothing compared with fancy toys, yet the effort behind it makes it priceless. It teaches me that the real meaning of a gift is selfless care rather than its price. I will keep this treasure and all the sweet memories forever.

二、阅读理解。
Some films make you cry. Some make you think. Return to the Wolves does both. The documentary (纪录片) tells the story of a woman and a wolf. More than ten years ago,on the Zoige grassland, Chinese wildlife artist Li Weiyi rescued a baby wolf whose parents were killed by poachers (偷猎者). She named him “Green” and brought him back to Chengdu. Li and her friend Yi Feng raised him like their son.
Green soon became part of the family. He learned to catch fish and even got along with the family's little pet dog. Li cared for him day and night and slowly built a close relationship with him. Sometimes,Green seemed less like a wild animal and more like a playful child. But as he grew up,it became clear that he was never meant to live in a city apartment. He gnawed on electrical cables (咬电线),howled late into the night,and grew more and more restless as his wild nature began to show.
Li's friends suggested sending Green to a zoo. But after visiting one and seeing wolves walking back and forth in a tiny space,she quickly rejected the idea. A cage,however safe it might seem,is still a cage.
Finally,Li faced a hard truth:Green is a wolf and he had to go back to the wild.
So she made the tough and painful decision to set him free—to return him to the grassland.
In the end, Return to the Wolves tells us that true love is not about possession. Sometimes,it means having the courage to let go.
( )1.What can we learn about Green in Paragraph 1?
A.He lived with Li and her friend.
B.He got the name from his parents.
C.He was born in a zoo in Chengdu.
D.He was a baby lion on the grassland.
( )2.Why was it difficult to raise Green in a city?
A.Because his wild nature appeared.
B.Because he didn't like to live in a city.
C.Because he couldn't get along with the dog.
D.Because he was afraid of the electrical cables.
( )3.What does the underlined word “rejected” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Talked about.
B.Thought about.
C.Disagreed with.
D.Fell in love with.
( )4.What does the writer want to tell us by introducing the film?
A.Humans should protect wolves.
B.Raising wild animals is difficult.
C.Dogs and wolves can be good friends.
D.True love means giving others freedom.
( )5.In which part of a newspaper can we read this passage?

My Most Special Gift
Among all the gifts I have received, a handwoven cloth bag from my mother is the most special one. She gave it to me on my fourteenth birthday.
When I opened the small box, I touched its soft cotton surface and fell in love with it at once. I was greatly surprised by its gentle colour and neat stitches. Mum told me she sacrificed almost all her spare time to finish it. She searched for proper cloth in shops and practised weaving for weeks just to prepare this warm surprise for me. My heart was full of love the moment I held the bag tightly.
Now I keep it on my desk and take it to school every day. It costs nothing compared with fancy toys, yet the effort behind it makes it priceless. It teaches me that the real meaning of a gift is selfless care rather than its price. I will keep this treasure and all the sweet memories forever.

一、阅读理解。
A small,white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree and it has been there for the past ten years or so.
It all began because my husband Justin hated Christmas—oh,not the true meaning of Christmas. Overspending was one thing,but compared to the difficult experience of choosing gifts—running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and a pair of gloves for Grandma…,spending money is nothing. I felt too tired to think of any special gifts.
Knowing Justin felt the same way,I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts,sweaters,ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Justin. The inspiration came in an unusual way.
Our son Kevin,who was 12 that year,was wrestling (摔跤) at the junior level at the school he attended;and shortly before Christmas,there was a match against a team sponsored (赞助) by an innercity church. These youngsters,dressed in such wornout shoes that shoe strings seemed to be the only thing holding them together,while our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes.
As the match began,I was shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without wearing helmets (头盔) to protect their ears. Well,our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class.
Justin,seated beside me,shook his head sadly,“I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot potential (潜力),but losing like this could take the heart out of them.” Justin loved kids—all kids,and he knew them,having coached little league football and baseball. That's when the idea for his present came. That afternoon,I went to a local sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I sent them to innercity church without leaving my name.
On Christmas Eve,I placed the envelope on the tree,the note inside telling Justin what I had done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our Christmas.
( )1.Why did Justin hate Christmas?
A.Because he didn't enjoy receiving gifts.
B.Because he had a hard time choosing gifts.
C.Because he spent too much money buying gifts.
D.Because he disliked putting gifts under the Christmas tree.
( )2.How did Justin feel about the team's failure?

C.Hopeless.
D.Shameful.
( )3.Why did the writer send gifts to the innercity church without leaving her name?
A.To avoid being thanked.
B.To play a joke on Justin.
C.To give Justin a surprise.
D.To protect her private information.
( )4.What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?

D.The gifts the writer sent to church.
( )5.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A
On 19 September, 2025,an outdoor company and an artist presented a fireworks show named “Ascending Dragon” in the Himalayas. They said the event was to “honour nature”. However,it quickly turned into a big problem.
The problem was simple: After the 52second show ended,the organizers left the high mountain meadow (草甸) at 4,500 metres covered in rubbish.
When CCTV reporters filmed the place,people didn't see art;they saw copper wires,plastic barrels,and holes in the grass everywhere for the fireworks. You could see the mess,but the organizers still said they had “finished” cleaning up. It made the public very angry. Their promise to “get close to nature” was empty,because what they did went directly against (背道而驰) it.
The company also said the fireworks were “good for the earth”. They said the materials would go away naturally. But smart people said this is not true. On the high mountain,the air is thin and the climate is very cold,so the rubbish will not go away for hundreds of years. The grass will need one hundred years to grow back. So,the “good for the earth” story was like a lie.
Interestingly,a talk from the artist was shared online. He had thanked everyone for “supporting us in making some noise in this wonderful place”. After what happened,his words seemed unkind.
Finally,both the company and the artist had to apologize. Their show was loud but short. It taught everyone a clear lesson:True love for nature isn't about a big performance. It is about being quiet and leaving only your footprints.
( )1.What was the purpose of the fireworks show according to the organizers?
A.To show love for nature.
B.To become famous online.
C.To make money for the company.
D.To test new fireworks technology.
( )2.Why does the writer say “The problem was simple” in Paragraph 2?
A.Because the cleanup would be an easy task.
B.Because the fireworks show was very short.
C.Because their goal was very clear to anyone.
D.Because the mess they left was easy to see.
( )3.What did CCTV reporters find at the site after the show?
A.Nothing unusual.
B.New plants growing.
C.Beautiful art and happy people.
D.Different kinds of rubbish and holes.
( )4.What does Paragraph 4 mainly want to tell us?
A.A difficult task of cleaning up.
B.A beautiful lie that hurts nature.
C.A new way to make fireworks.
D.A scientific study of the mountain.
( )5.What were people's feelings throughout the event?
A.Expectant→angry.
B.Bored→excited.
C.Glad→regretful.
D.Shocked→calm.
B
Love is often described as a warm feeling between people, but its influence goes far beyond personal emotions. In fact, love plays a vital role in human health, development, and society as a whole. Far from being just a topic for poems or songs, love is a practical force that affects nearly every aspect of our daily lives.
Research has shown that people who feel loved and supported tend to be healthier. They have lower levels of stress, recover more quickly from illnesses, and generally live longer. This is not magic—it is because loving relationships help people relax and deal with difficulties more effectively. When a person feels cared for, their body reacts in positive ways, such as reducing tension and improving sleep quality. In this sense, love works like a natural protective shield for both mind and body.
The influence of love is especially powerful during childhood. Children who grow up in warm and supportive families usually develop stronger social skills and greater confidence. They are better at understanding others' feelings and working in teams. On the other hand, children who lack love and attention may face more challenges in building trust and friendships later in life. This shows that love is not just nice to have—it is necessary for healthy human development.
Furthermore, love can push people to achieve extraordinary things. Parents work long hours to provide for their children. Volunteers travel to disaster areas to help strangers. Doctors and nurses work day and night to save lives. In all these cases, love is not a passive feeling that sits quietly inside; it is an active choice that drives people to act, to give, and to sacrifice.
In conclusion, love is much more than a soft word or a sweet moment. It is a powerful force that protects our health, builds our character, and inspires our greatest actions. Understanding love in this way helps us realize that it is not something we wait for—it is something we create, share, and live out every single day.

Anna Mary Robertson was a famous American painter. It is often said that Anna first took up painting when she was nearly 80 years old. In fact, when she was a little girl, she drew whenever she had a chance.
Long before she became known, Anna lived a life full of challenges. She always kept busy with farm chores, housework, and children, but she never really stopped pursuing (追求) art.
In Anna's later years, she pictured some scenes in her mind before painting. She would close her eyes and recall a happy time from her early life. She would remember helping her father on the farm. She would see the people, the farm buildings, and the animals. She would imagine the blue mountains and the softly falling snow.
Anna's friends and family members loved the paintings. She gave them away as gifts. A friend hung several of the paintings in a local store. One day a stranger came into the store and bought every one of her paintings. He took her paintings to New York City and showed them to some art collectors. One of these collectors, Dr Kallir, liked the paintings. He hung some of them in his gallery (画廊). The newspaper did a story about the art show. The reporter called Anna “Grandma Moses”. From then on almost everyone called her that way. Grandma Moses kept on painting. Her paintings got better, and they got more popular.
In her lifetime, Moses created about 1,500 works of art. They were cheerful, warm and full of life, just like Grandma herself. Her paintings still remain popular today.
“As I look back on my life, it's like a good day's work. It was done and I feel satisfied with it. I knew nothing better than painting and made full use of what life offered. And life is what we make it, always has been, always will be,” she said.

Dear editors,
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Among all gifts I've received, a handwritten letter from my father is the most special one. He gave it to me on my 13th birthday last year.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I opened the envelope, I touched its rough paper and read every warm sentence slowly. I was deeply moved at once. Dad wrote the letter late at night after finishing his busy work. He sacrificed his rest time to write down all his wishes and words of encouragement to me. My heart was full of warmth while reading it.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I will treasure this precious memory forever.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
I keep the letter inside my desk drawer and read it whenever I feel upset. It looks simple but the sincere love behind it makes it priceless. It tells me the true value of a gift lies in care rather than its cost.
