“Where’s Papa going with that ax (斧头)?” said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast.
“He went to the pig house,” replied Mrs Arable. “Some pigs were born last night.”
“I don’t understand why he needs an ax.” continued Fern, who was only eight years old.
“Well,” said her mother, “one of the pigs is a runt (小不点儿). It’s very small and weak, and it will never amount to (有价值) anything. So your father has decided to do away with it.”
“Do away with it?” screamed Fern. “You mean he will kill it? Just because it’s smaller than the others?”
Mrs Arable put a pitcher (罐) of cream on the table. “Don’t shout, Fern!” she said. “Your father is right. The pig will die anyway.”
Fern pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors. She caught up with her father.
“Please don’t kill it!” she cried. “It’ s unfair.”
Mr Arable stopped walking.
“Fern,” he said gently, “you will have to learn to control yourself.”
“Control myself?” shouted Fern. “This is a matter of life and death, but you talk about controlling myself.” Tears (眼泪) ran down her cheeks and she took hold of the ax and tried to pull it out of her father’s hand.
“Fern,” said Mr Arable, “I know more about raising pigs than you do. A weakling makes trouble. Now go home!”
“But it’ s unfair,” cried Fern. “The pig couldn’t help being born small, could it? If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me?”
Mr Arable smiled. “Certainly not.” he said, looking down at his daughter with love. “But this is different. A little girl is one thing, while a little runty pig is another.”
“I see no difference,” replied Fern, still holding on to the ax. “This is the most terrible case of unfairness that I have ever heard.”
A strange look came over Mr Arable’ s face. He seemed almost ready to cry himself.
“All right,” he said. “You go back to the house and I will bring the runt when I come back. I’ll let you look after the baby pig. Then you’ll see what trouble a pig can be.”
Half an hour later, Mr Arable returned to the house, carrying a box under his arm.
“Put it on her chair!” said Mrs Arable. Mr Arable set the box down at Fern’ s place. Fern came slowly down the stairs. Her eyes were red from crying. As she got closer to her chair, the box wobbled (摇晃), and there was a scratching noise. Fern looked at her father. Then she opened the box. There, inside, looking up at her, was the newborn pig. It was a white one. The morning light shone through its ears, turning them pink.
—Adapted from Charlotte’s Web
5. Why did Fern run out to see her father after talking to her mother?
A. To see the newborn pigs. B. To have breakfast with him.
C. To help him with the farm work. D. To stop him from hurting the small pig.
6. Which is the correct order of what happened in the story?
① Fern ran out of the house quickly.
② Fern was setting the table with her mother.
③ Mr Arable returned with the pig in a box.
④ Fern argued with her father about the pig’ s life.

8. What is the best title for this passage?

【答案】5. D 6. C 7. D 8. A
【解析】
【导语】本文改编自《夏洛的网》,讲述了八岁的Fern在早餐前得知父亲要杀死一只弱小的猪仔,她冲出去与父亲争论,最终说服父亲留下小猪并答应自己照顾它的故事。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文对话,母亲告知Fern父亲要“do away with”弱小的猪,Fern立刻尖叫着追问“Do away with it? You mean he will kill it?”,随后“pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors. She caught up with her father”并哭喊“Please don’t kill it!”。可见她跑出去的目的是阻止父亲伤害小猪。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。梳理情节顺序:②Fern和母亲摆早餐桌(故事开篇场景)→①Fern跑出房子(得知父亲要杀猪后行动)→④Fern和父亲争论小猪的生命(追上父亲后哭闹争辩)→③Mr Arable带着装猪的盒子回来(最终妥协带回小猪)。对应选项为②①④③。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。从Fern的行为看,她为救小猪“screamed”“cried”“tried to pull the ax out of her father’s hand”,甚至质问父亲“如果我出生时很小,你会杀了我吗?”,体现出她对生命的善良共情;同时她不顾父亲劝阻坚持争取,展现出意志坚定。
【8题详解】
最佳标题题。文章讲述了Fern为拯救一只弱小的小猪而与父亲抗争的故事。由此推断,最佳标题是“Fern为拯救小猪而抗争”。

British scientist Jane Goodall, known for her pioneering studies of chimpanzees, passed away on Oct 1 at the age of 92. She died of natural causes while on a speaking tour in the US.
Born in England in 1934, Goodall had a natural love for wild animals and dreamed of working with them in Africa. In July 1960, aged 26, Goodall finally traveled to Tanzania and entered the little-known world of wild chimpanzees. Over the next 60 years, Goodall’s research changed how people understand human relationships with chimpanzees and introduced a new way to study wildlife.
Goodall’ s research was pioneering because she lived closely with wild chimpanzee groups to learn about their social lives. She gave names to each chimp and formed close relationships with them, learning how similar they were to us. She saw that chimpanzees have complex (复杂的) social lives and different personalities, such as being shy or outgoing.
Two of Goodall’s most important discoveries came in 1960. That year, she saw a group of chimpanzees eating red meat, challenging the old idea that chimps only ate plants. She also saw something even more surprising—a male chimpanzee making and using tools. This finding changed the long-held idea that humans are the only animals that use tools. Since then, scientists have found evidence (证据) of tool use in many parts of the animal world.
Besides her research, Goodall traveled the world to speak about the dangers facing chimpanzees and the environmental challenges facing Earth, encouraging people to take action for all living things and the planet we share. “The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves,” Goodall told National Geographic magazine.
9. What is Jane Goodall best known for?
A. Her years of research on chimpanzees.
B. Discovering a new type of chimpanzee.
C. Calling on people to take care of wildlife.
D. Being the first female zoologist in the world.
10. What major change did Goodall bring to the study of wildlife?
A. She did experiments on wild animals.
B. She studied wild animals’ social lives.
C. She lived closely with animals to study them.
D. She was the first to compare animals with humans.
11. What was one of Goodall’s most important discoveries about chimpanzees?
A. They prefer to eat red meat. B. They can make and use tools.
C. They have simple social lives. D. They are not dangerous animals.
12. What does the underlined “those” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Wild animals. B. Environments. C. Humans. D. Scientists.
【答案】9. A 10. C 11. B 12. A
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第四段“She also saw something even more surprising—a male chimpanzee making and using tools”可知,Goodall关于黑猩猩最重要的发现之一是它们能制造和使用工具。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves”以及前文“speak about the dangers facing chimpanzees and the environmental challenges facing Earth, encouraging people to take action for all living things and the planet we share”可知,“those”指代无法为自己发声的野生动物

About one hundred years ago, on October 10,1925, the Forbidden City in Beijing threw open its golden gates to the public. It was no longer the secret world of emperors but became the Palace Museum. Anyone could walk through the halls where history was made. And today, it is the world’s most visited museum, attracting almost 20 million visitors every year.
Have you ever stepped inside the Palace Museum? Once you do, you will find yourself at the heart of one of the richest cultural collections on Earth. More than 1.8 million artefacts (人工制品) are displayed or stored there. Each item is like a quiet storyteller. They show visitors how people in China once lived, what they created, and what they believed in. As you gaze at the porcelain, dragon robes, and golden treasures, you won’t just admire them but begin to understand them: These are not just priceless artefacts; they are “threads” tying you back to a culture that has thrived for over 5,000 years.
Beyond its treasures, the Palace Museum itself is a wonder. The former Forbidden City is the world’s largest standing wooden palace complex (建筑群). Its red walls, golden roofs, grand gates, and large courtyards show the beauty of balance and harmony — two concepts central to Chinese philosophy. Only by walking through its grounds can you truly appreciate the thought and power behind its design.
The Palace Museum keeps reminding us why history must be kept alive. Each part of it and each of its artefacts carries a message across time. They invite us to listen, learn, and connect with a culture that has shaped human history. The museum has amazed countless visitors, and it’s still calling us to step through its gates and discover more about China’s past.

Researchers suggest that we should see 15 minutes of sunlight in the morning. ____20____
A. Why is sunlight so important to our sleep?
B. The researchers found that these workers had a better sleep than other workers.
C. If you do, here is a simple way to help you improve your sleep.

E. Sunlight makes people sleepy at night.
【答案】17. C 18. B 19. A 20. D
【解析】

【20题详解】
根据前文“Researchers suggest that we should see 15 minutes of sunlight in the morning.”可知,此处应补充说明这样做的好处或原因。D选项“It can help balance the melatonin in our bodies.”中的“It”指代前文的“see 15 minutes of sunlight”,且解释了阳光调节褪黑素的作用,符合语境。

In Japan’s big cities, there are small restaurants that serve coffee, called cafés. First there were pet cafés, and then cat cafés. The latest trend is a café that has pigs.
“It was wonderful, very relaxing and enjoyable,” said Brad Loomis, an engineer from the US. He was talking about his recent visit to Tokyo’s Mipig Café with his daughter.
The animals are known as “micro pigs”. They are not bigger than a small dog, even when they are fully grown. These small pigs move around the room, looking for a comfortable place. They are surprisingly quiet, making little snorts (哼哼声) now and then. And they are very clean and do not smell bad. These little things don’t like to be alone. So, this makes them good company for people.
“Each pig is special. Each one has his or her own personality. You may notice one may be strong-headed and another may be gentle,” said Shiho Kitagawa, a manager at Mipig Café.
Experts say interacting (沟通) with animals can increase people’s happiness.

“Where’s Papa going with that ax (斧头)?” said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast.
“He went to the pig house,” replied Mrs Arable. “Some pigs were born last night.”
“I don’t understand why he needs an ax.” continued Fern, who was only eight years old.
“Well,” said her mother, “one of the pigs is a runt (小不点儿). It’s very small and weak, and it will never amount to (有价值) anything. So your father has decided to do away with it.”
“Do away with it?” screamed Fern. “You mean he will kill it? Just because it’s smaller than the others?”
Mrs Arable put a pitcher (罐) of cream on the table. “Don’t shout, Fern!” she said. “Your father is right. The pig will die anyway.”
Fern pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors. She caught up with her father.
“Please don’t kill it!” she cried. “It’ s unfair.”
Mr Arable stopped walking.
“Fern,” he said gently, “you will have to learn to control yourself.”
“Control myself?” shouted Fern. “This is a matter of life and death, but you talk about controlling myself.” Tears (眼泪) ran down her cheeks and she took hold of the ax and tried to pull it out of her father’s hand.
“Fern,” said Mr Arable, “I know more about raising pigs than you do. A weakling makes trouble. Now go home!”
“But it’ s unfair,” cried Fern. “The pig couldn’t help being born small, could it? If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me?”
Mr Arable smiled. “Certainly not.” he said, looking down at his daughter with love. “But this is different. A little girl is one thing, while a little runty pig is another.”
“I see no difference,” replied Fern, still holding on to the ax. “This is the most terrible case of unfairness that I have ever heard.”
A strange look came over Mr Arable’ s face. He seemed almost ready to cry himself.
“All right,” he said. “You go back to the house and I will bring the runt when I come back. I’ll let you look after the baby pig. Then you’ll see what trouble a pig can be.”
Half an hour later, Mr Arable returned to the house, carrying a box under his arm.
“Put it on her chair!” said Mrs Arable. Mr Arable set the box down at Fern’ s place. Fern came slowly down the stairs. Her eyes were red from crying. As she got closer to her chair, the box wobbled (摇晃), and there was a scratching noise. Fern looked at her father. Then she opened the box. There, inside, looking up at her, was the newborn pig. It was a white one. The morning light shone through its ears, turning them pink.
—Adapted from Charlotte’s Web
5. Why did Fern run out to see her father after talking to her mother?
A. To see the newborn pigs. B. To have breakfast with him.
C. To help him with the farm work. D. To stop him from hurting the small pig.

British scientist Jane Goodall, known for her pioneering studies of chimpanzees, passed away on Oct 1 at the age of 92. She died of natural causes while on a speaking tour in the US.
Born in England in 1934, Goodall had a natural love for wild animals and dreamed of working with them in Africa. In July 1960, aged 26, Goodall finally traveled to Tanzania and entered the little-known world of wild chimpanzees. Over the next 60 years, Goodall’s research changed how people understand human relationships with chimpanzees and introduced a new way to study wildlife.
Goodall’ s research was pioneering because she lived closely with wild chimpanzee groups to learn about their social lives. She gave names to each chimp and formed close relationships with them, learning how similar they were to us. She saw that chimpanzees have complex (复杂的) social lives and different personalities, such as being shy or outgoing.
Two of Goodall’s most important discoveries came in 1960. That year, she saw a group of chimpanzees eating red meat, challenging the old idea that chimps only ate plants. She also saw something even more surprising—a male chimpanzee making and using tools. This finding changed the long-held idea that humans are the only animals that use tools. Since then, scientists have found evidence (证据) of tool use in many parts of the animal world.
Besides her research, Goodall traveled the world to speak about the dangers facing chimpanzees and the environmental challenges facing Earth, encouraging people to take action for all living things and the planet we share. “The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves,” Goodall told National Geographic magazine.
9. What is Jane Goodall best known for?
A. Her years of research on chimpanzees.
B. Discovering a new type of chimpanzee.
C. Calling on people to take care of wildlife.
D. Being the first female zoologist in the world.
10. What major change did Goodall bring to the study of wildlife?
A. She did experiments on wild animals.
B. She studied wild animals’ social lives.
C. She lived closely with animals to study them.
D. She was the first to compare animals with humans.
11. What was one of Goodall’s most important discoveries about chimpanzees?
A. They prefer to eat red meat. B. They can make and use tools.
C. They have simple social lives. D. They are not dangerous animals.
12. What does the underlined “those” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Wild animals. B. Environments. C. Humans. D. Scientists.
D
About one hundred years ago, on October 10,1925, the Forbidden City in Beijing threw open its golden gates to the public. It was no longer the secret world of emperors but became the Palace Museum. Anyone could walk through the halls where history was made. And today, it is the world’s most visited museum, attracting almost 20 million visitors every year.
Have you ever stepped inside the Palace Museum? Once you do, you will find yourself at the heart of one of the richest cultural collections on Earth. More than 1.8 million artefacts (人工制品) are displayed or stored there. Each item is like a quiet storyteller. They show visitors how people in China once lived, what they created, and what they believed in. As you gaze at the porcelain, dragon robes, and golden treasures, you won’t just admire them but begin to understand them: These are not just priceless artefacts; they are “threads” tying you back to a culture that has thrived for over 5,000 years.
Beyond its treasures, the Palace Museum itself is a wonder. The former Forbidden City is the world’s largest standing wooden palace complex (建筑群). Its red walls, golden roofs, grand gates, and large courtyards show the beauty of balance and harmony — two concepts central to Chinese philosophy. Only by walking through its grounds can you truly appreciate the thought and power behind its design.
The Palace Museum keeps reminding us why history must be kept alive. Each part of it and each of its artefacts carries a message across time. They invite us to listen, learn, and connect with a culture that has shaped human history. The museum has amazed countless visitors, and it’s still calling us to step through its gates and discover more about China’s past.
13. We can learn from the article that the Palace Museum ________.
①is the world’s largest museum
②is the world’s most visited museum
③is one of the world’s earliest museums
④has one of the world’s richest cultural collections
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③ D. ②④
14. What does the underlined word “thrived” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Disappeared slowly B. Changed totally
C. Developed well D. Stayed quiet
15. According to the article, the artefacts in the Palace Museum can ________.
A. show the ordinary life of modern locals
B. tell stories about ancient Chinese life and beliefs
C. let visitors know how ancient bronzes were made
D. prove that China is home to a lot of golden treasures
