My first few years at my summer camp made me so homesick（想家的）that I couldn't help crying in my bed because I missed my mom so badly and would beg my counselor （辅导员）to call her. I cannot tell you what changed in me exactly， but one day I realized that moms do not have the magic power to fix everything. Most of the time only you have the power to fix your own problems.
At camp， it does not matter who you are or where you come from， all that matters is that you are nice to other campers and counselors. I learned to work as a team member in some of the most difficult situations by finding the good in people. You learn to accept others for what they bring to the table. Camp opened my eyes to what qualities truly matter in people.
Growing up is hard； school is stressful， friends let you down， and family conflicts（矛盾） create problems out of your control. At camp， I could be the best version of me as a happy， confident， creative and cool girl. Camping gave me confidence and freedom to be who I wanted to be. Summer camps are an unusual place. The best friends I could ever make were always there with me. We climbed the high mountains and made camp near the lakes. Spending time with my friends made the best memories I could ever ask for. At camp， I laughed the hardest， smiled the biggest. I was much happier than ever before.
I attended my summer camp for over ten years， and during each summer I would become stronger and more confident.

A few months ago， I interviewed Max， an animal trainer. He was teaching a dolphin to do a back flip. Every time the dolphin jumped out of the water， even a little， Max would reward it with some food. When the dolphin did something else， Max would just ignore it. At first the dolphin kept swimming round the pool and having fun. But slowly， it learned that when it jumped， it got a reward. After a few days the dolphin was jumping high enough to do a somersault（空翻）. It had learned the first part of the trick.
I was fascinated. I kept thinking about how Max had trained that dolphin …and then I began to wonder if the same skills might work with my husband， Dylan. He was always leaving dirty washing on the floor and he often used to forget arrangements that we'd made. I nagged（埋怨） him but he ignored me. The piles of washing just got bigger and he would forgot even more arrangements. His bad habits didn't use to trouble me but now they were driving me mad!
So I decided to copy the dolphin trainer. I praised Dylan when he put anything in the washing basket， even if it was just one sock or when he remembered any arrangement， even if he got the wrong day. Slowly， the piles of dirty washing became smaller and his memory got better. I was so pleased that I told Dylan about my 'training'. He looked thoughtful.
A few days later my computer didn't work again. It was continuously crashing and I called Dylan in a panic. The first thing he said was， 'Well done， Jenny， you haven't made a drama out of this.

H：As you can see，I have many business English lessons.When I teach in the classroom，we often end up talking about things like success and what leads to success.It's interesting that many of them mention the element of luck.
S：Right.
H：Luck is important to success，but since you've seen that fantastic video on the TED talks website by St.John，he doesn't mention luck at all.

H：Seizing the opportunities.But was there any point in the video that you thought was particularly interesting？
S：Yes.Actually，there was.Something very impressive is many people think that luck is something you must have，in order to be successful.And in the video，we say，the point about getting good at something is not about some natural talent.It's all about practice，practice，practice.
H：Definitely yeah.Natural talent helps in some way.But at the end of the day，you must work hard and get really，really good at what you do.

12．（2021•奉贤区二模）Do you or your family know an elderly person who may feel lonely？ Perhaps you have a grandparent who doesn't live nearby and who might not see many people. It's thought that there could be more than a million lonely older people in the UK who often feel sad. This might be because they live alone， or they might be in a care home and haven't got family or friends who visit.
Simply writing a letter can help to cheer them up. It's an easy thing to do but can make a big impact （影响）. Being able to write an interesting letter is also a good skill because a lot of modern communication is written and sent by digital（电子的） messaging and email.
Everyday things that you do， such as what you learned a school， sporing achievements or places you visit， might seem ordinary to you but an older person would be happy to read about them in a letter. It could make them think back to when they were young and did similar things. The person may also want to write back to you.
Professor Smith， aged 67， set up a group called Silver Robin，which has helped children from six schools in Oxford to begin writing letters to older people. "It's a lovely thing to do and connects different generations. Loneliness is not a nice thing and if a young person's letter puts a smile on someone's face， then that's wonderful.
Where do I start ？
Ask your parents if there's an elderly relative or
family friend you can write to and they can help
you get started. Your teacher may like to make
contact with a local elderly care home so that
your class can begin writing letters.
How else can I help ？
There are other ways to help elderly people feel
less lonely. For example， knowing the date of
their birthday means you can send a card.
Saying hello and being nice to people in your
street， checking on them with your family or
knocking on their door sometimes just to see
how they are can make a difference.

Eat Your Schoolwork!
At a farmers' market in Las Vegas， the tables have been turned. Here， the students do the teaching.
"This is a summer squash，" one student explained to a shopper. "This is an Armenian cucumber."
"It's technically a melon，"his classmate said.
All the students were working at the outdoor market in 2019. They were selling food they grew themselves. The pride they felt was clear.
All these young gardeners are part of their school district's Outdoor Garden Classroom Program. Students from more than 100 schools around Las Vegas have their own gardens. There they get their hands dirty while they learn. Twice a year， they also harvest and sell their"schoolwork" at the Giant Student Farmers' Market. It is known to be the largest student﹣run farmers' market in the country.
The program has grown since it began in 2013. Students work in teams with the support of their teachers. They take responsibility for all the different steps. Team members research what can grow in their climate. Then they discuss and plan their garden beds. They plant seeds， pluck weeds（除 草）， and water their crops. Some schools also have small orchards of fruit trees.
When the time is ripe， students harvest the fruits （and vegetables） of their labors. The produce is then prepared for eating or selling. Students manage the business end， too. They handle the money at the farmers' market. They also plan how to spend the money they make. All earnings are plowed back（再投资） into the gardening program. Sometimes students carry some of the harvest home to share with their families.
School gardens also provide food for thought in classrooms. Science lessons may cover the biology of plants.Students study the nutrition of the foods they grow. Maths and measurements become tools for planning garden fields. In fact， studies have shown that garden programs help improve student achievement.
The Outdoor Garden Classroom Program has also built relationships with the surrounding community. Local volunteers visit schools to share their expert knowledge. Business leaders teach students about managing a business.Schools even invite area chefs（厨师） to show simple recipes made with school﹣grown ingredients.
From planning and planting to harvest and market， school gardens offer valuable learning experiences as well as fun.Young gardeners get a chance to practice skills that will serve them all their lives.

15．（2021•普陀区二模）Everything changed when I was four years old. My father died. After that， my mother and I had to move back to a small village in Alabama， where my mother grew up. We lived in a small house with Aunt Sandy， my mother's elder sister. This was a time when being a single parent was still considered unusual.
When I was small， there was a children's book called The Happy Family， and it was a real piece of work， dad worked all day long at the office， mom cooked in the kitchen， and the brother and sister always had friends playing around. The image（形象）of the family in this book was typical（典型的）of the time. It looked nothing like my family， but luckily that wasn't the way I heard it. The way my Aunt Sandy read it to me made the story really funny.
Kind﹣hearted and open﹣minded， Aunt Sandy was the one who played baseball with me， who took me horseback riding， who took me to the father﹣son dinners and who gave me lessons on how to drive， she believes that anything unusual was probably good for me. She offered to help me go to Africa to work as a volunteer. That was my most important experience.
As a young girl， Aunt Sandy always planned to have a large number of children of her own， but she never got married. This meant that she was free to spend all her time taking care of me. Many people say we have a lot in common. She always afforded me to do my best and it makes me believe that I could do anything with my life that I wanted if I tried hard enough.
For more than fifty years， Aunt Sandy didn't and still don't think of herself. Unless she is forced to come up to the front， my aunt will stand in the back in family photos， and she doesn't think that her efforts have made much difference. She won my respect because_______.

16．（2021•金山区二模）Mark Twain is one of the most quoted authors ever. There are hundreds of his quotations（语录） in books on posters and on websites. Here is an example：
"If you tell the truth， you don't have to remember anything."﹣﹣﹣Mark Twain.
Quotations like this one give us guidance. It reminds us that telling a lie is much more difficult than telling the truth. Telling a lie means you have to remember what you said each time you tell the lie. If you tell the truth， there is nothing to remember. He suggests that you shouldn't lie not because it is wrong， but because it is hard work. Here is another example.
"Always obey your parents when they are present."﹣﹣﹣Mark Twain
Again， the quotation give good advice﹣﹣﹣to always obey your parents， but the humorous part is when they are present. The quotation tells you to obey your parents when they are there with you﹣﹣﹣because they can see what you are doing.
Albert Einstein's quotations are also popular. Many of his quotations are inspirational（鼓舞人心的）. This means that they help us to do our best and be the best person we can be. Here is an example：
"Learn from yesterday， live for today， hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning."﹣﹣﹣Albert Einstein
This is a much more serious quotation than the two Mark Twain ones. It gives us a lot to think about. Also， because this was said by Albert Einstein， it makes us want to take the quotation serious. This quotation gives us hope that that we can learn from any mistake we made yesterday. It reminds us to always look closely at everything we do and ask the right questions to help us achieve our best.

1．（2021•上海）Triathlon is a race in which each person swims，rides a bicycle and runs over very long distances.It has been held ten times in Hope Town.Sam，aged 20，finished nine races with his younger brother Luke.Every race was a victory for them.Luke can't walk，talk or feed himself because of a rare brain illness since birth.But Sam wants his brother to know what it feels like to be part of a sport instead of having to sit and watch.A local TV journalist interviewed Sam after he received the Town Hero Award.
（J＝Journalist，S＝Sam）
J：How did you get the idea to include Luke in these events？
S：When I was ten，my mom showed me a video of two young men from another city doing triathlons.One of the men had a condition like Luke has.I got the idea from that.
J：What's it like having Luke along？
S：I feel good and proud during the whole triathlon，for I'm giving something to Luke.He can experience things any other man would.
J：What do you get from him？
S：It's the smile on Luke's face.That smile brightens me.The feeling of knowing that I've done something for him is unbelievable.
J：When you received the Town Hero Award，you talked about the importance of changing the way you see things.What did you mean？
S：People see Luke very differently： "Oh，he can't do something like that.He's disabled." But if you just change how you see things，you can see there are many possibilities where Luke can do swimming，biking or even triathlons，like we do.
J：What do you want to share with other young men？
S：（6）

（1）How many races did Sam and Luke finish？
　Nine.　
（2）Who has suffered from a brain illness，Sam or Luke？

　The smile on Luke's face.　
（6）What might be Sam's reply to the journalist's last question？Write TWO sentences.
　Sometimes we need to change how you see things.And we can see there are many possibilities where we can do that way.　
【解答】（1）Nine.细节理解题。根据Sam，aged 20，finished nine races with his younger brother Luke.可知20岁的山姆和他的弟弟卢克一起完成了九场比赛。故答案为：Nine。
（2）Luke.细节理解题。根据Luke can't walk，talk or feed himself because of a rare brain illness since birth.可知卢克自出生以来就因为罕见的脑部疾病而不能走路、说话或吃饭。因此可知是卢克得了脑病。故答案为：Luke。
（3）A video of two young men from another city doing triathlons.细节理解题。根据When I was ten，my mom showed me a video of two young men from another city doing triathlons.可知我十岁的时候，我妈妈给我看了一段视频，视频里是两个来自另一个城市的年轻人在做铁人三项。故答案为：A video of two young men from another city doing triathlons。
（4）He felt good and proud.细节理解题。根据I feel good and proud during the whole triathlon，可知在整个铁人三项赛期间，我感觉很好，很自豪。故答案为：He felt good and proud。
（5）The smile on Luke's face.细节理解题。根据 J：What do you get from him？S：It's the smile on Luke's face.记者：你从他那里得到了什么？Sam：是卢克脸上的笑容。可知Sam从卢克那里得到了他脸上的笑容。故答案为：The smile on Luke's face。
（6）Sometimes we need to change how you see things.And we can see there are many possibilities where we can do that way.推理判断题。根据 S：People see Luke very differently： "Oh，he can't do something like that.He's disabled." But if you just change how you see things，you can see there are many possibilities where Luke can do swimming，biking or even triathlons，like we do.可知Sam：人们对卢克的看法很不一样："哦，他不能做那样的事。他是残疾人。"但如果你改变你对事物的看法，你会发现卢克有很多可能性，他可以像我们一样游泳、骑自行车甚至三项全能。因此可知山姆对记者最后一个问题的回答可能是有时我们要改变我们对事物的看法；那样的话你会发现自己有很多的可能性。故答案为：Sometimes we need to change how you see things.And we can see there are many possibilities where we can do that way。

Tiles： Hey statue! Don't you think it's unfair that everybody comes here to admire you. They don't notice us at all.
Statue： My dear brothers. Don't you remember that we are actually from the same place？
Tiles： Yes， we do. That is why we feel it is even more unfair. All of us were born from the same place， and yet the world treats us so differently now. This is so unfair!
Status： Yes， you are right， my brothers. But do you still remember the day when the artist tried to work on you， but you refused him？
Tiles： Yes， we didn't like him. He had such sharp tools that we were frightened. We turned him away because we didn't want to get hurt.
Statue： Well， since you refused his tools， he couldn't work on you. When he decided to give up on you， he started working on me instead. I knew at once that I would be something different and special after his hard work. I bored the pain and allowed him to fashion （雕琢） me as he wanted!
Tiles： But it hurt quite a lot.
Statue： My brothers， there is a price for everything in life. Since you decided to give up halfway， you can't complain about the world's unfairness to you.

【解答】1. To admire the statue. 2. The Tiles. 3. No， they weren't.
（1）To admire the statue.细节理解题。根据Many people from all over the world visited the museum every day to admire the statue. 可知每天都有许多来自世界各地的人参观博物馆欣赏这座雕像。故答案为To admire the statue。
（2）The Tiles. 细节理解题。根据Tiles： Hey statue! Don't you think it's unfair that everybody comes here to admire you. They don't notice us at all. Statue： My dear brothers. Don't you remember that we are actually from the same place？ Tiles： Yes， we do. That is why we feel it is even more unfair. All of us were born from the same place， and yet the world treats us so differently now. This is so unfair!可知嘿，雕像！你不觉得每个人都来欣赏你是不公平的吗。他们根本没注意到我们。雕像：我亲爱的兄弟们。你不记得我们其实来自同一个地方吗？瓷砖：是的，我们有。这就是为什么我们觉得这更不公平。我们都出生在同一个地方，然而现在世界对我们的态度却大不相同。这太不公平了！。故答案为The Tiles。
（3）No， they weren't.推理判断题。根据 Tiles： Yes， we do. That is why we feel it is even more unfair. All of us were born from the same place， and yet the world treats us so differently now. This is so unfair!可知瓷砖：是的，我们有。这就是为什么我们觉得这更不公平。我们都出生在同一个地方，然而现在世界对我们的态度却大不相同。这太不公平了！故答案为 No， they weren't。

（5）To bear the pain and allow the artist to fashion him.推理判断题。根据 Statue： My brothers， there is a price for everything in life. Since you decided to give up halfway， you can't complain about the world's unfairness to you.可知雕像：我的兄弟们，生命中的一切都是有代价的。既然你决定半途而废，你就不能抱怨世界对你的不公平。所以对于雕像，下划线的"price"是指代价，也就是忍受痛苦，让艺术家塑造他。故答案为To bear the pain and allow the artist to fashion him。
（6）If we choose to be special admired by successful， we should bear pain.推理判断题。根据 Statue： My brothers， there is a price for everything in life. Since you decided to give up halfway， you can't complain about the world's unfairness to you.可知雕像：我的兄弟们，生命中的一切都是有代价的。既然你决定半途而废，你就不能抱怨世界对你的不公平。所以对于雕像，"price"是指代价，也就是忍受痛苦，让艺术家塑造他。根据上文的句意，可推测下文应是The marble tiles became quiet and deep in thought： " If we choose to be special admired by successful， we should bear pain."句意为大理石瓷砖变得安静而深沉："如果我们选择被成功者特别崇拜，我们应该忍受痛苦。故答案为If we choose to be special admired by successful， we should bear pain。

4．（2021•宝山区二模）Read the passage below and answer the following questions（根据文章内容回答下列问题）
My first few years at my summer camp made me so homesick（想家的）that I couldn't help crying in my bed because I missed my mom so badly and would beg my counselor （辅导员）to call her. I cannot tell you what changed in me exactly， but one day I realized that moms do not have the magic power to fix everything. Most of the time only you have the power to fix your own problems.
At camp， it does not matter who you are or where you come from， all that matters is that you are nice to other campers and counselors. I learned to work as a team member in some of the most difficult situations by finding the good in people. You learn to accept others for what they bring to the table. Camp opened my eyes to what qualities truly matter in people.
Growing up is hard； school is stressful， friends let you down， and family conflicts（矛盾） create problems out of your control. At camp， I could be the best version of me as a happy， confident， creative and cool girl. Camping gave me confidence and freedom to be who I wanted to be. Summer camps are an unusual place. The best friends I could ever make were always there with me. We climbed the high mountains and made camp near the lakes. Spending time with my friends made the best memories I could ever ask for. At camp， I laughed the hardest， smiled the biggest. I was much happier than ever before.
I attended my summer camp for over ten years， and during each summer I would become stronger and more confident. Whether it was hiking up large hills， learning skills for the first time， or thinking about what's good in me， camping gave me time to develop into the person I am today. Camping really makes me a better person.

【解答】（1）No， they don't.推理判断题。根据文中 I cannot tell you what changed in me exactly， but one day I realized that moms do not have the magic power to fix everything. Most of the time only you have the power to fix your own problems.可知，我不能确切地告诉你是什么改变了我，但有一天我意识到，妈妈们没有神奇的力量来修复一切。大多数时候只有你有能力解决自己的问题。所以根据作者的说法，妈妈们没有神奇的力量来修复一切。故答案为No， they don't。
（2）By finding the good in people.细节理解题。根据文中 I learned to work as a team member in some of the most difficult situations by finding the good in people. 可知，我学会了在一些最困难的情况下作为一名团队成员，从人们身上发现优点。故答案为By finding the good in people。
（3）品质。词义猜测题。根据Camp opened my eyes to what qualities truly matter in people.结合短文可知，夏令营让我看到了什么品质才是真正重要的。所以第二段中带下划线的"qualities"一词的中文意思是品质。故答案为品质。
（4）A happy， confident， creative and cool girl.推理判断题。根据At camp， I could be the best version of me ads a happy， confident， creative and cool girl. 结合短文可知，在夏令营，我可以成为一个快乐，自信，有创造力和酷女孩的最佳样子。所以根据作者的说法，她最好的样子是一个快乐，自信，有创造力和酷的女孩。故答案为A happy， confident， creative and cool girl。
（5）Spending time with her friends at camp.最佳标题。根据文中Summer camps are an unusual place. The best friends I could ever make were always there with me.

（6）She learned to fix her own problems and find the good in people and what's good in herself.最佳标题。根据文中Most of the time only you have the power to fix your own problems. I attended my summer camp for over ten years， and during each summer I would become stronger and more confident. 可知，大多数时候只有你有能力解决自己的问题。我参加了十多年的夏令营，每个夏天我都会变得更加坚强和自信。所以作者从夏令营中学到了她学会了解决自己的问题，变得更加坚强和自信。故答案为She learned to fix her own problems and become stronger and more confident.
5．（2021•青浦区二模）Read the passage below and answer the following questions（根据文章内容回答下列问题）

Three Simple Rules
Once there was a rich man named Richard. He was greedy. One day， he was walking in his garden. He saw a strange bird in a bush. It was very small， but it had beautiful and colorful features. Its voice was also very sweet. Richard had never seen such a bird in his life. He slowly went near the bush and caught the bird.
"Why have you caught me？" the bird asked.
"I want to make money. I can sell you for a big amount." replied Richard.
"You can't sell me." said the bird. "No one will buy me because I will lose my beautiful features and my sweet voice when I am caught." Then it slowly turned into a black bird and looked like a crow.
Richard said surprisingly， "Then I'll kill you， and I'll eat your meat."
"Eat me! I am so small. You won't get any meat out of me." replied the bird.
Richard could not answer.
The bird then suggested， "Set me free. In return， I shall teach you three simple but useful rules. These rules can profit you greatly."
"Profit me! Really？" said Richard. "But how can I trust you？ You may fly away."
"I give you my word. And I always keep my word."said the bird.
Richard wanted to take a chance. He released the bird. It flew up at once. Then it sat on the branch of a tree. Its color started changing. It became beautiful again.
Richard asked， "Now teach me the rules."
"Certainly，" said the bird. Then it added， "The first rule is ‘Never believe everything others say.' The second rule is ‘Never be sad about something you do not have.' The third rule is ‘（6） '."
"You silly bird，" shouted Richard. "These three rules are known to everyone. You cheated me."
But the bird said， "Richard， just think about all your actions of today. You had me in your hands， but you threw me away. You believed all that I said. And you are sad about not having me. The rules are simple， but you never followed them. Now do you see the value of the rules？"
So saying the bird flew away and disappeared from his sight.

（1）Richard found the bird in the forest， didn't he？
　No， he didn't.　
（2）Why did Richard catch the bird？
　Because he wanted （to sell it） to make money.　
（3）What would happen to the bird if it was caught？
　It would lose its beautiful features and its sweet voice.　
（4）How would Richard probably feel when the found he could do nothing with the bird？
　He would probably feel angry.　
（5）Where did the bird sit after Richard released it？
　It sat on the branch of a tree.　
（6）What might be the third rule the bird said？ （No more than 12 words）
The third rule is '　Never throw away what you have in your hand　'.
【解答】（1）No， he didn't.细节理解题。根据He was greedy. One day， he was walking in his garden. He saw a strange bird in a bush. 可知一天，他在花园里散步。他看见灌木丛里有一只奇怪的鸟。所以理查德不是在森林里发现了那只鸟。故答案为No， he didn't。
（2）Because he wanted （to sell it） to make money.细节理解题。根据 "Why have you caught me？" the bird asked. "I want to make money. I can sell you for a big amount." replied Richard.可知"你为什么抓住我？"鸟儿问。"我想赚钱。"我可以卖你一大笔钱。"理查德回答。故答案为 Because he wanted （to sell it） to make money。
（3）It would lose its beautiful features and its sweet voice.细节理解题。根据 "You can't sell me." said the bird. "No one will buy me because I will lose my beautiful features and my sweet voice when I am caught." Then it slowly turned into a black bird and looked like a crow.可知"你不能卖我。"鸟说。"没有人会买我，因为当我被抓住时，我会失去美丽的特征和甜声。"然后它慢慢变成一只黑鸟，看起来像乌鸦。所以如果鸟被抓住了它将失去其美丽的特色和甜蜜的声音。故答案为 It would lose its beautiful features and its sweet voice。
（4）He would probably feel angry .细节理解题。根据Richard said surprisingly， "Then I'll kill you， and I'll eat your meat."可知理查德惊讶地说："那么我会杀你，我会吃你的肉。"当发现他无法与鸟做任何事情时，理查德可能会生气。故答案为 It would lose its beautiful features and its sweet voice。
.（5）It sat on the branch of a tree细节理解题。根据He released the bird. It flew up at once. Then it sat on the branch of a tree. 可知理查德想借此机会。他放了鸟。它立刻飞了起来。然后它坐在树的树枝上。故答案为It sat on the branch of a tree。
（6）Never throw away what you have in your hand.推理表达题。根据But the bird said， "Richard， just think about all your actions of today. You had me in your hands， but you threw me away. You believed all that I said. And you are sad about not having me. "可知但鸟说："理查德，想想你今天的所有行为。你手中有我，但你把我扔掉了。你相信我所说的一切。你对没有我感到难过。"因此可推断上文的第三条规则是永远不要扔掉手中的东西。故答案为 Never throw away what you have in your hand。

When I was 14，I left school.I was on the way to California to follow my dream.

After talking for a few.minutes，the friendly bum told me to follow
him.He took me to a public library at last.
The bum first took me to a table and asked me to sit down and wait
for a moment.A few moments later，he returned with some old books and sat beside me.Then he said， "There are two things that I want to teach you，young man，and they are these：Number one never judge a
book by its cover，for a cover can fool you." He continued， "You think I'm a bum，don't you，young man？"

"　

【解答】（1）He was 14.细节理解题。根据文中When I was 14，I left school.I was on the way to California to follow my dream.可知，当我14岁的时候，我离开了学校。我在去加利福尼亚追寻梦想的路上。作者离开学校时14岁了。故答案为He was 14。
（2）No，he didn't.推理判断题。根据文中 He stopped me and asked me if i was running away from home.I told him， "Not exactly，Sir，" because my father had given me a ride to the train station and said， " It's important to follow your dream，Son."可知，他拦住我问我是不是离家出走了。我告诉他，"不完全是这样，先生，"因为我父亲送我去火车站，并说，"追随你的梦想很重要，儿子。"s所以作家不是偷偷离家出走。故答案为No，he didn't。
（3）Never judge a book by its cover，for a cover can fool you.细节理解题。根据文中 There are two things that i want to teach you，young man，and they are these：Number one never judge a book by its cover，for a cover can fool you.可知，"年轻人，有两件事我想教你，那就是：第一，决不以封面来评判一本书，因为封面可以愚弄你。所以流浪汉教作家的第一件事是决不以封面来评判一本书，因为封面可以愚弄你。故答案为Never judge a book by its cover，for a cover can fool you。
（4）Because he realized there were certain things he had not yet experienced in life.推理表达题。根据 I am one of the richest men in the world.But I realized there were certain things I had not yet experienced in life.So for the past year，I have been going from city to city living as a bum.结合短文可知，我是世界上最富有的人之一，但我意识到有些事情我还没有经历过。所以在过去的一年里，我像流浪汉一样从一个城市走到另一个城市。因此可推断那个有钱人从一个城市跑到另一个城市过着流浪汉的生活是因为他意识到有些事情他还没有经历过。故答案为Because he realized there were certain things he had not yet experienced in life。
（5）Your wisdom.细节理解题。根据 "Number two is to learn how to read，my boy.There is only one thing that people can't take away from you，and that is your wisdom.结合短文可知，"第二件事是学习如何阅读，孩子。只有一件事是人们不能从你身上夺走的，那就是你的智慧。所以你的智慧是人们唯一不能带走的东西。故答案为Your wisdom。
（6）I think the bum in the story is intelligent.I believe he is one of the richest people in the world，just because of the two things he told the author，"Number one never judge a book by its cover，for a cover can fool you，my boy.Number two is to learn how to read，my boy.There is only one thing that people can't take away from you，and that is your wisdom. "阅读表达题。根据 Then he said， "There are two things that i want to teach you，young man，and they are these：Number one never judge a book by its cover，for a cover can fool you. "Number two is to learn how to read，my boy.There is only one thing that people can't take away from you，and that is your wisdom.结合短文可知然后他说："年轻人，有两件事我想教你，第一，决不以封面来评判一本书，因为封面可以愚弄你。第二件事是学习如何阅读，孩子。只有一件事是人们不能从你身上夺走的，那就是你的智慧。所以我觉得故事里的流浪汉是有智慧的，我相信他是世界上最富有的人之一，仅仅因为他告诉作者的那两件事情"第一，决不以封面来判断一本书，因为封面可以愚弄你，孩子。第二是学习如何阅读，孩子。只有一件事是人们不能从你身上夺走的，那就是你的智慧。故答案为I think the bum in the story is intelligent.I believe he is one of the richest people in the world，just because of the two things he told the author，"Number one never judge a book by its cover，for a cover can fool you，my boy.Number two is to learn how to read，my boy.There is only one thing that people can't take away from you，and that is your wisdom.

This was my grandmother's first birthday without grandfather，and before he passed away，we had promised him that we would make it her best birthday ever.Grandfather had always said that she expected her birthday party every day since it was also a time for family reunion （团聚）.
When my mom，dad，three sisters and I arrived at her little house，we found she had waited up all night for our arrival.Once arriving，we immediately set to prepare for the birthday celebration.We ordered a large three﹣tier birthday cake and decorated the house with colorful belts and balloons.When everything was ready，I noticed something was missing.
Where's your scarf？" I asked.
That scarf，faded （褪色的） and even older than my mom，was a necessary pan of the yearly celebration.Grandfather gave it to grandmother forty years ago on their first date.But now，on her first birthday without him，the scarf was gone，too.
"It must be here somewhere，" she said. "Your grandfather always packed everything so carefully."
Then we started to search every corner for the missing scarf.As we emptied box after box and found no scarf，my grandmother's eyes were filled with tears.However，seeing our worried looks，she soon hid her disappointment.
Check it out!This may be a gift from Grandpa!" my sister shouted as she found a well﹣wrapped （包装完美的） box.
Grandmother shakily opened the box.With great joy，she pulled out a brand﹣new red scarf with a note.Her voice trembled （颤抖） as she read it aloud：
"Dear，I noticed some tiny holes in your scarf when I washed it.So I thought it was time for a new one.I hope it can bring you as much joy as the first one did.Happy birthday!
Love，Bryant."

（3）For forty years.推理判断题。根据 That scarf，faded （褪色的） and even older than my mom，was a necessary pan of the yearly celebration.Grandfather gave it to grandmother forty years ago on their first date.结合短文可知，那条围巾褪色了（褪色的） 甚至比我妈妈还大，这是一年一度的庆祝活动中必不可少的一部分。四十年前他们第一次约会的时候爷爷把它给了奶奶。所以可推断祖母拥有这条旧围巾四十年了。故答案为For forty years。
（4）She felt sad.推理判断题。根据Then we started to search every corner for the missing scarf.As we emptied box after box and found no scarf，my grandmother's eyes were filled with tears.However，seeing our worried looks，she soon hid her disappointment.结合短文可知，然后我们开始在每个角落寻找丢失的围巾。当我们一个接一个地倒空盒子，发现没有围巾时，我祖母的眼里充满了泪水。然而，看到我们忧心忡忡的神情，她很快掩饰了自己的失望。所以 奶奶找不到那条旧围巾时她感到悲伤。故答案为She felt sad。

（6）Before passing away，grandfather remembered to ask his children to make grandmother's birthday the best ever；He gave grandmother a scarf on their first date.总结归纳题。根据文中This was my grandmother's first birthday without grandfather，and before he passed away，we had promised him that we would make it her best birthday ever.That scarf，faded （褪色的） and even older than my mom，was a necessary pan of the yearly celebration.Grandfather gave it to grandmother forty years ago on their first date.可知，这是我祖母第一个没有祖父的生日，在他去世之前，我们曾向他保证过，我们会让这是她有史以来最好的生日。那条围巾褪色了（褪色的） 甚至比我妈妈还大，这是一年一度的庆祝活动中必不可少的一部分。四十年前他们第一次约会的时候爷爷把它给了奶奶。所以除了给祖母买一条新围巾外，还有一些细节也能表达祖父的深情：细节一：祖父临终前，记得让孩子们为祖母过一个有史以来最好的生日。细节二：他们第一次约会时，他送给祖母一条围巾。故答案为Before passing away，grandfather remembered to ask his children to make grandmother's birthday the best ever；He gave grandmother a scarf on their first date。
8．（2021•长宁区二模）根据文章内容回答下列问题）
A few months ago， I interviewed Max， an animal trainer. He was teaching a dolphin to do a back flip. Every time the dolphin jumped out of the water， even a little， Max would reward it with some food. When the dolphin did something else， Max would just ignore it. At first the dolphin kept swimming round the pool and having fun. But slowly， it learned that when it jumped， it got a reward. After a few days the dolphin was jumping high enough to do a somersault（空翻）. It had learned the first part of the trick.
I was fascinated. I kept thinking about how Max had trained that dolphin …and then I began to wonder if the same skills might work with my husband， Dylan. He was always leaving dirty washing on the floor and he often used to forget arrangements that we'd made. I nagged（埋怨） him but he ignored me. The piles of washing just got bigger and he would forgot even more arrangements. His bad habits didn't use to trouble me but now they were driving me mad!
So I decided to copy the dolphin trainer. I praised Dylan when he put anything in the washing basket， even if it was just one sock or when he remembered any arrangement， even if he got the wrong day. Slowly， the piles of dirty washing became smaller and his memory got better. I was so pleased that I told Dylan about my 'training'. He looked thoughtful.
A few days later my computer didn't work again. It was continuously crashing and I called Dylan in a panic. The first thing he said was， 'Well done， Jenny， you haven't made a drama out of this. You used to shout at me'. Suddenly， I felt calm. I liked his praise. Then I realized what was happening. He .

（6）What can be filled in the blanks in the last paragraph？　was training me.　
【解答】（1）A back flip.细节理解题。根据He was teaching a dolphin to do a back flip. 可知他在教海豚做后空翻。故答案为：A back flip.
（2）Dylan's bad habits.词义猜测题。根据His bad habits didn't use to trouble me but now they were driving me mad!可知他的坏习惯过去没有给我添麻烦，但现在它们却把我逼疯了！根据前文含义以及结合选项可知，此处they意为" Dylan的坏习惯"，故答案为：Dylan's bad habits.
（3）To make Dylan give up his bad habits.推理判断题。根据 I kept thinking about how Max had trained that dolphin …and then I began to wonder if the same skills might work with my husband， Dylan.我一直在想马克斯是如何训练那只海豚的……然后我开始怀疑，同样的技巧是否也适用于我的丈夫迪伦。 以及His bad habits didn't use to trouble me but now they were driving me mad!他的坏习惯过去没有给我添麻烦，但现在却把我逼疯了！因此可知作者决定模仿海豚驯兽师是想让迪伦改正他的坏习惯。故答案为：To make Dylan give up his bad habits.
（4）By praising her husband.细节理解题。根据 I praised Dylan when he put anything in the washing basket， even if it was just one sock or when he remembered any arrangement， even if he got the wrong day. 可知当迪伦把任何东西放进洗衣篮的时候，即使只是一只袜子，或者当他想起任何安排的时候，即使他一天都错了，我都称赞他。因此可知作者是通过称赞她的丈夫从而帮助她的丈夫改掉坏习惯的。故答案为：By praising her husband.
（5）Yes，he did.细节判断题。根据 The first thing he said was， 'Well done， Jenny， you haven't made a drama out of this. You used to shout at me'. 可知他说的第一句话是，"干得好，珍妮，你还没有把这件事搞得很戏剧化。你以前对我大喊大叫。"因此可知迪伦认为他的妻子也有自己的坏习惯。故答案为：Yes，he did.
（6）was training me.推理判断题。根据 So I decided to copy the dolphin trainer. I praised Dylan when he put anything in the washing basket可知当迪伦把任何东西放进洗衣篮的时候，即使只是一只袜子，或者当他想起任何安排的时候，即使他一天都错了，我都称赞他。因此可知作者是通过称赞她的丈夫训练她的丈夫从而帮助她的丈夫改掉坏习惯的。根据Suddenly， I felt calm. I liked his praise. Then I realized what was happening.突然，我觉得很平静。我喜欢他的赞扬。然后我意识到发生了什么。可知作者意识到她的丈夫现在正在训练她。故答案为：was training me.

She and Charlie walked past the sign three times before they went out of Target.
"It sounds like such a small thing，but for us it is a nod from the world that we are being supported，" she wrote.

12．（2021•奉贤区二模）Do you or your family know an elderly person who may feel lonely？ Perhaps you have a grandparent who doesn't live nearby and who might not see many people. It's thought that there could be more than a million lonely older people in the UK who often feel sad.
