（2022春·江苏淮安·高一统考期末）The king seemed to know what the duke was planning. So they went upstairs and set the bag of money on the table. The king counted it out in front of everyone. Then he pointed to the girls and said, “These poor little lambs. They’ve suffered so much. I know what my brother would want me to do.”
He turned to the duke and made those hand signs. The duke watched for a minute, then his eyes brightened up like he’d finally caught on. He gave the king a big smile.
The king said, “Here, MaryJane, Susan, and Joanna. Take the money. Take it all.”
The three girls started hugging him again. But the town doctor who’d stood watching the whole time, stuck his finger in the king’s face.
“You can’t fool me!” he hollered. “You are just a fraud!”
My heart thumped like a rabbit and I thought we were caught for sure!
The king stood there, looking gap-jawed at the doctor. The doctor kept on yelling. “You claim you’re an Englishman, but that’s the worst English accent I’ve ever heard! You are nothing but a swindler.” The crowd gathered around the doctor, trying to quiet him down.
“No,” one man argued. “It’s really Harvey Wilks.”
“Yeah,” another agreed. “He knew everybody’s name. He even knew all our dogs’ names.”
“I’m telling you,” the doctor warned. “Anyone who can’t imitate an accent better than that is a fraud.”
The Willks girls hung their heads and cried. That’s when the doctor turned to them and said “I was your father’s friend. I only want to protect you and keep you out of trouble. He’s an imposter who’s come here with a lot of names and facts that he picked up somewhere else. Won’t you please turn this rascal out?”
MaryJane straightened up, looking proud. “Here is my answer to that.” She picked up the bag of money and put it right in the king’s hands. “Here,” she said. “Take the whole $6,000 and invest it for me and my sisters.”
Then she put her arm around the king on one side, and the other girls did the same on the other. Everyone clapped and stomped while the king held his head high.
The doctor pointed his finger at them. “Fine. But remember, I warned you.”
After supper I started wondering what I ought to do. Should I go to that doctor and tell him the truth? I couldn’t do that. The king and the duke might find out it was me, and they’d have my hide for sure. I knew MaryJane wouldn’t believe me.

（2022春·江苏镇江·高一统考期末）The father of an 8-year-old boy says his son is now the youngest person to climb the famous El Capitan in California.
After four days of guided climbing, Joe Baker and his son Sam Baker reached the top of the cliff (悬崖) face inside Yosemite National Park last week. “We made it!” Joe Baker wrote on Facebook. “What an amazing week! I’m so proud of Sam. He completed the youngest rope ascent (登顶) of El Capitan!”
Rock climbing has long been a favorite pastime for the Baker family. Though Sam’s mother, Ann Baker didn’t join for the ascent, she is also a climber and a big supporter o her son’s brave efforts.

（2022春·江苏南京·高一统考期末）When I was ten, my family moved to the other side of town. I was forced to leave the familiarity of St Paul’s and become “the new kid” at St Teresa’s:a one-hallway school with no gym, where the other kids in my class had been together since kindergarten. I struggled to break into the crowd and spent lunchtime playing alone.
One school day, when I headed to the kitchen table, I heard the radio, “It’s a sad day in the music world. Mr Roy Orbison has died.” Oh no, how sad, Roy Orbison has died. Wait. . . who is Roy Orbison?
I didn’t have a chance to ask. I had to get to school before the bell.
It was Mr Hutchison’s class. Every day, he would ask if there was anyone we wanted to pray(祈祷) for. That day, Johnny prayed for his sick grandfather, and Emily for her grandmother who had a surgery.
This was my chance! Before I had time to fully think it through, my hand shot into the air. “I’d like to pray for Roy Orbison!”
Silence fell over the room. The other kids looked confused, but Mr Hutchison could see the eagerness in my eyes. No one else had ever been so excited to pray for anyone in his class.
“OK, Roy Orbison has been added to the prayer list.” He winked(眨眼)。
I did it! This must be another way we kids make new friends:you just pray for someone.
I had never met Roy Orbison, nor did I have his album. But because of Roy, a little girl named Christine came up to me and said, “I’m really sorry for your loss. If you’re not busy with the funeral(葬礼), maybe you can come over and play after school.”
Thanks to Roy and Christine, I was lonely no more.

B．Because I felt sorry for his death

（2022春·江苏徐州·高一统考期末）I was recently in Door County Wisconsin, the land of cherries—a fruit sweet to taste and, for me sweeter to recall. The little fruit reminds me of a chat I had with my daughter Molly, now 19, about ten years ago on the summer shores of Lake Michigan.
Molly and I have much in common, including a lasting love of homemade pies. As I get aged, I’ve never changed the sense that freshly baked pies are the most delicious. My daughter agrees.
When she was younger, we would talk about pies before, while and after eating them. She made a special face and sign—one eye closed, fork waved twice in the air—whenever a tasty pie had been eaten up. So this chat wasn’t all that strange as we drove around Door County, a land of cherries that July day.
“Dad,” Molly asked from the back of our car, “try to guess my two favorite pies.” I thought before answering, given the importance of the subject.
Pumpkin and Wisconsin cherry, I answered, looking at her through the rearview mirror(后视镜). Our Lake Michigan location had given me the idea of my second guess and, I thought, her question. But that was not Molly’s answer. Her expression told me she was confused. But as quickly as the look came, it was replaced by a naughty smile. “OK,” she corrected, “try to guess my three favorite pies.” Molly had changed her rankings(排序), putting her original top two picks to second and third place.
Our brief chat stayed with me. Too often facts around me change, but my mind doesn’t. Unaffected by new information, I function like a navigation (导航) system that has missed a turn but won’t return. Since that summer day, when I sense myself behaving this way, I try to recall the “favorite pie” chat with my daughter and correct my course.
It was a small moment that Molly has probably forgotten, but I never will. Sometimes big lessons come from small moments.
13．What did Molly mean by making a special face and sign after eating a pie?
A．She was quite full. B．She was very lovely.
C．She wanted more pies. D．She really enjoyed the pie.
14．What does the writer learn from their chat?
A．Refuse to change his mind. B．Behave his own way.
C．Accept new information. D．Follow a navigation system.
15．Which of the following best describes “my” feeling after the chat?
A．Grateful. B．Excited. C．Regretful. D．Unconcerned.
16．Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．A shared love for pies B．A happy journey in summer
C．A sweet lesson from a pie D．A small moment with Molly

（2022春·江苏苏州·高一统考期末）When my son finally started school around the age of four, I felt as though I’d been promoted to the new position of School Parent. It was an unexpectedly challenging role, one without additional benefits, or a raise for that matter.
As a direct result of starting school, there was the surprisingly unpleasant changes to our schedule. As parents, we were ill-prepared for the troubled time we had trying to get used to the practice of school.
Gone were the carefree days without plans and plenty of time to kill. This included playing imaginary games indoors or hanging around outside whenever the weather turned nice. Getting to school on time meant becoming the ‘hot mess’ mum often seen in movies. I was rushing kids out the door, forgetting lunch boxes and losing car keys.
As a huge morning person, I tried my best to ensure that school mornings remained calm and slow-paced. I prepared as much as possible the night before. But it still felt like we were in a rush, which I really hated.
The trick, I later discovered, was to cover up my feeling of anxiety. I chanted to myself “Do not rush him, no one likes to be rushed” while helping him get through his morning routine and tasks in a timely manner. Whatever frustration (沮丧) I felt about how slow he was moving, I wouldn’t let him know it. I even didn’t allow anyone in our house to say phrases like, “Hurry up, we’re going to be late!” Our common goal, was not just to get our son out the door in time for school, but more importantly prove that mornings can be relaxed and enjoyable, rather than a horrible start to the day.
Of course by the time summer holiday came, our family had grown wise enough. In what felt like the ‘longest shortest time’, we went from anxious and confused, to calm and confident once again. We were far more prepared to have a smoother start to the new school year.

（2022春·江苏南通·高一海安高级中学校考期末）When my teenaged son became seriously ill, terrible times for my family began. Our once-happy home became tense and depressed. My husband and I were exhausted under the great stress of caring for my son. It was as if we forgot how to communicate-we couldn’t have a simple conversation without a fighting. Our marriage was on the point of breaking up.
One evening, my son and I were talking about gifts. I recalled my first Valentine’s present from my husband, a kazoo. I was awkward when I received it because I couldn’t get it to make a sound although I am a professional saxophone player. However hard I tried, it just never worked. The kazoo eventually got packed away and forgotten. But my son was interested and insisted on seeing it. After some trouble, I found it.
“You couldn’t get a sound? What’s so hard about it?” my husband asked, amazed. He took the kazoo and blew. Nothing happened. Surprised, he tried again. Still there was no sound. Frustrated, he tried again, only to produce a funny sound like an angry bumblebee trapped in the mouth of a bear. We burst into laughter. My son took a turn to play the kazoo. He did no better than us, causing more laughing.
Seeing his face light up, we felt as if the darkness had lifted and a ray of sunshine was let in. It was the best ten minutes of the past couple of years. The mood stayed light for the rest of the evening. It didn’t solve anything. But this experience with the kazoo brought some change in our hearts that always reminds us that there are still things to laugh at and enjoy, and that we can still connect as a family.

（2022春·江苏无锡·高一江苏省江阴高级中学校考期末）Claire Wyatt, a 24-year-old British volunteer, led eight Cambodians living with disabilities on a 155-mile bike ride from Phnom Penh, the nation’s capital, to Siem Reap to raise money and deliver supplies to those in need amid the coronavirus pandemic (新冠病毒大流行).
“Leading this trip was an incredibly special experience for me,” said Claire. “Not only was I inspired by the determination of each and every rider, but also the team taught me every day not to focus on their disability.”
When she was first asked to lead the excursion, Claire admitted, she was feeling nervous about her team traveling such a distance in just a few days, because cycling with a disability can come with added physical and emotional(情感的)challenges.
One team member named Dy, who lost an arm in a landmine (地雷) accident, biked using just one arm to balance. Another named Vulta could only pedal on one side due to paralysis from polio (脊髓灰质炎). Despite all the difficulties, Claire realized quickly that she didn’t have to worry about her team. She saw them deal with rough terrain (地形) that she had seen abled cyclists give up on before.
The volunteers covered the distance in just four days, not only helping so many people across the country, but also overcoming huge barriers (障碍) to get there.
“The best thing about this ride is that the riders have all volunteered their time to do this. They are so passionate about Cambodia and raising money for others in need,” said Claire. “The money raised will feed 99 families in Siem Reap.”
Claire recalled her favorite moment of the experience, when one of the cyclists pushed an exhausted teammate up a hill for 2 miles.
“One moment that stood out for me was when Naret, our only female rider, was feeling tired,” she said. “Her fellow rider gently put his hand on her back and pushed her for 2 miles! They were encouraging each other to push through the tiredness.”
25．Why did Claire and eight Cambodians cycle 155 miles?
A．To challenge themselves. B．To help out needy people.

She says, “I spent the first few years in America just going through a number of operations to basically straighten me out so I could then be fitted for leg braces (支架) and walking stick.”
“In the early years, it was just me trying to be like my siblings (兄弟姐妹),” she says. “I didn’t want to take the disabled bus to school. I wanted to be able to take the bus with my sister. And so I had to learn how to go up the stairs.”

But a year later, she made it and finished the race in 14 hours, 39 minutes the first female wheelchair athlete to complete the Ironman World Championship. She covered all those miles in water and on land, pushed entirely by her arms and upper body. She says, “I think it’s important to stay physically active.
Now, she’s a mom. Dentler volunteered at the school to help kids learn to read, “The kids were very curious. They asked me a ton of questions and it was actually pretty fun to answer them. And the kids’ eyes would get really big when they heard that I could do all of these things.”

（2022春·江苏徐州·高一统考期末）It was Christmas Eve when my elder sister and I decided to open our presents before our mom got home from work. She usually came home about an hour after we got home from school, which we thought was plenty of time to take a peek at the gifts under the tree.
My elder sister opened present after present while I was ordered to stand guard at the big window in our front room. Finally, when my sister’s curiosity was satisfied, we traded places.
After unwrapping a few presents, I found it faster to open one end of a present and peek inside.
“Cool! Mom and Dad got me head phones for my stereo!” I pulled the headphones out of the box and was about to put them on when my sister shouted, “Quick! Wrap it back up! Mom’s coming!”
I put the headphones back hurriedly in the box but my hands were shaking. My heart pounded harder as I tried to get the tape to stick. I had just finished burying the package with my headphones in it when my mother came into the front room. I jumped up and said, “Hi, Mom!” She smiled at me and said “Hi” back, but didn’t appear to suspect a thing. My heart began to slow as I took a deep breath. On Christmas morning, my sister and I smiled and gave award-winning performances when we opened our presents-again. “Headphones!” I shouted. “Thanks, it’s just what I wanted.” After everything had been opened, my sister and I looked at each other, and our eyes met. Our secret was safe, but somehow Christmas morning didn’t feel the same.
My sister and I never opened our Christmas presents early again. I don’t know if it was that opening our gifts for the second time just wasn’t as much fun as the first time, or if we came too close to getting caught and didn’t want to think about what our mother would have done to us.

(那是圣诞节前夜，我和姐姐决定在妈妈下班回家之前打开礼物。她通常会在我们放学后一个小时回家，我们认为这段时间足够看一眼圣诞树下的礼物了)”和第三段中的“After unwrapping a few presents, I found it faster to open one end of a present and peek inside.

35．推理判断题。由倒数第二段“On Christmas morning, my sister and I smiled and gave award-winning performances when we opened our presents-again. “Headphones!” I shouted. “Thanks, it’s just what I wanted.” After everything had been opened, my sister and I looked at each other, and our eyes met. Our secret was safe, but somehow Christmas morning didn’t feel the same. (在圣诞节的早晨，我和姐姐微笑着并用获奖般的演技再次打开礼物。“耳机！”我喊道。“谢谢，这正是我想要的。”一切都打开后，我和姐姐看着彼此，目光相遇。我们的秘密是安全的，但不知为何，圣诞节的早晨感觉不一样)”可推知，圣诞节清晨作者打开礼物后假装激动和兴奋，其实那份惊喜是不存在的，可得出那个圣诞节的早晨给了作者一种不同的感觉是因为失去了一个惊喜。故选B项。
36．推理判断题。由最后一段“My sister and I never opened our Christmas presents early again. I don’t know if it was that opening our gifts for the second time just wasn’t as much fun as the first time, or if we came too close to getting caught and didn’t want to think about what our mother would have done to us. (我和姐姐再也没有早早打开过圣诞礼物。我不知道是因为第二次打开我们的礼物没有第一次那么有趣，还是因为我们离被抓住太近了，不想去想妈妈会对我们做什么)”可知，作者和姐姐从此以后再也没有提前打开过圣诞礼物，作者分析可能的原因是第二次打开礼物不再有真正的惊喜和兴奋感。由此判断他对自己之前提前打开礼物的做法是感到后悔的。故选D项。
