Jim thought of a good idea.“Here, Huck,” he said, “Put it on.” He handed over one of the dresses that they’d gotten from that old house.“Why would I wear this?” I asked.“Because nobody will recognize(认出) you if you wear this.”That seemed like a good idea to me. Jim pulled that dress over my head and buttoned(扣扣子) it up, and I rolled(卷) my trouser legs up to my knees. Then Jim put a sunbonnet(太阳帽) on my head and tied it under my chin(下巴). He walked back and looked me over. “Huck, you look just like a girl. Nobody can recognize you even in the daylight.”I practised walking around to get the hang of(掌握……窍门) it. Jim said I didn’t walk like a girl, and that I should stop lifting my dress up to get to my trouser pockets. I practised hard. Then when it got dark, I jumped onto the boat and sailed to the shore(岸边).I crossed over to the edge of town and started up along the shore, I saw a light burning in an old cabin(小屋). I slipped up and peeked in the window. There was a woman inside, knitting(织毛线) by candlelight.She was a stranger(陌生人), which was lucky for me. I was dressed like a girl, but I didn’t want anyone to recognize my voice. I knocked on the door.“Come in,” the woman said. So I did.“Take a chair, ” she told me. I sat down next to her.She looked me over with her shiny eyes, “And what might your name be?”—Taken from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn23．Huck dressed up(乔装打扮) as a girl because ________.A．he wanted to make him look funnyB．others couldn’t see himC．nobody could recognize himD．the woman in the cabin couldn’t catch him24．Why did Huck practise walking around?A．Because he couldn’t walk in a dress like a girl.B．Because he liked the dress very much.C．Because he wanted to show that he looked pretty in a dress.D．Because he wanted Jim to like him.25．What does the underlined sentence mean?A．I rushed to the old cabin and shouted happily.B．I ran to the window and opened it suddenly.C．I walked up and broke the window quickly.D．I walked up and looked in the window quietly. Young Chinese used to go shopping and go to the movies in their spare time. But now more and more of them get interested in a new way of having fun. They enjoy playing a puzzle-solving game(解谜游戏) known as “an escape room(密室逃脱)”.In an escape room, a team of players work together to find useful information, work out puzzles and finish tasks to get out of a closed space. In such a game, different modern technologies(技术), like virtual reality(虚拟现实) and 5G, are used to create a fantastic world. Live actors(现场演员) also communicate with players to make the experience more real. With all of these, players will throw themselves into a story and pay their attention to their final goal(目标)—getting out of the room in a race against the clock.Pu Yixing is an avid player of this game. Every time he arrives in a new city, the young man will play the game there. He sees the game as a new way of socializing(社交).“People spend two hours finding an untold story and trying to run away from a room. It’s a great experience for every player to enjoy,”Pu said.He Shu, the director of a popular escape room program, says this game needs teamwork, speed, problem-solving skills, creativity and patience(创造力和耐心) of players. “It gives players a strong sense of achievement(成就) when they complete tasks and breakout of a room. It needs their reasoning(推理) skills and good teamwork,” she said.“It’s a good ice-breaking tool to make new friends as well as grow closer to old ones.”So why is this puzzle-solving game so popular? According to a study, the younger generation(一代) is spending more money on experiences than on products(产品). The escape room game provides them with excellent experiences. The other reason is just a FOMO(fear of missing out) effect. If you see someone go to a very cool place, you will probably go to ask, “Where is it? I want to go there as well.”26．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．What the escape room game is like.B．How to play the escape room game.C．When players can enjoy the escape room game.D．Why the young like to play the escape room game.27．The underlined word “avid” in Paragraph 3 has the closest meaning to “________”.A．crazy B．secret C．classical D．lucky28．Which of the following is the FOMO effect?A．He has solved the problem. I think he is really great.B．All my friends say my new dress is pretty. I’m so happy.C．The basketball game starts at eight. I mustn’t be late for it.D．Many of my classmates have mobile phones. I want to have one, too.29．What is the best title for the passage?A．The FOMO effect in life.B．Ways of making new friends.C．Modern technologies in today’s games.D．The young’s new way of having fine.  四、阅读还原5选4What makes a book a good read? It’s a great question, but there’s no easy answer!What interests one person may not work for another. There are so many styles and kinds of books. ____30____ Sometimes some people hate a book and can’t finish it! Does this mean the book is really terrible? Maybe, it depends on(取决于) your opinions.
