Slowly but surely, Amy and her grandparents were making progress. Boxes of all sizes were placed on top of each other throughout the house. Amy’s grandparents had lived in the house for years and they had collected many things.
The dining room was full of memories. Amy’s grandfather kept many fine dinner plates（盘子）from his hometown. Amy remembered that they ate from the red, yellow, and blue plates during important holidays.
After carefully wrapping up（包裹）the plates and putting them into a box, Amy lifted it up and moved it out of the way. But the box was too heavy. It suddenly fell from her arms and dropped to the floor. All three of them heard the plates shatter.
“ I’m sorry! ” Amy apologised.

（五）（2022·湖北武汉·中考真题）
All through grade school, I got extra help with schoolwork. If I got a D, I was very happy. If I got a C-minus (C-), I had achieved greatness. A’s and B’s were a kingdom I could never enter.
Once my teacher, Miss Mills, had given me a list of ten spelling words. My mother and I went over the list until I knew those words. I felt great. I thought, “Wow! This time, I’m going to pass.” The next day, I went into the classroom and began to write down the words. The first word was carper. I wrote that one down: c-a-r-p-e-t. I was feeling pretty confident. Then came neighbor-I wrote down the letter n. Then rhythm-I knew there was an r. Suburban-I wrote s-u-b. My confidence failed me. I had gone from 100 percent to maybe a D-minus. Where did the words go?
Some people talk about information sliding off your brain. That was my life. I was an underachiever (未能充分发挥学习潜力者).
Now I know I have dyslexia (诵读困难症). A person with dyslexia might see the as teh, and bird as brid. My brain learns differently. A learning disability can really change the way you feel about yourself. Now I know that even if I learn differently, I can still be filled with greatness.
Today when I visit schools as an actor, director, and co-author of children’s books, I tell children that everyone has something special inside. It’s our job to find out what that is and get it out, and give it to the world as a gift.

（六）（2022·湖北武汉·中考真题）
Boris, a foreign student at Communication University of China, often shares his experiences of Chinese culture on his vlog (视频博客).
In one video, for example, Boris shared how he had learned the Chinese word dongxi. He translated each part separately into “east west”. And he introduced one theory (说法) about how dongxi came to mean “things”. He told people that all marketplaces in ancient Chinese cities were set up along a single road that ran from east to west. So when you would say qu mai dongxi. you’d be saying, “I’m going to buy things.”
Some other videos show his reading Chinese poems and performing kung fu in Chinese traditional costume, which are quite welcome among his 40, 000 followers.
“Many of my followers are learning Chinese,” Boris said. “But sadly, they know little about Chinese culture and the country.”
Like many foreigners, Boris once believed that all Chinese could perform kung fu, flying onto roofs and walking over walls. He thought the country was not that developed. But after he got a scholarship (奖学金) to study in China in 2019, his view changed. “China has entered a new period, but many people’s impressions of China are still stuck in the1970s,” Boris said. “That’s why I started to shoot vlogs to share Chinese culture in 2019.”
Until now, Boris has posted more than 40 Chinese culture vlogs online. But making these vlogs is not easy. Take reading the poem Second Farewell to Cambridge by Xu Zhimo as an example.
“I can understand and read every word in the poem,” Boris said. “But to touch readers, I need to use proper feelings while reading.” So he needed to look for much background information and make his feelings suit each part of the poem.
Though shooting these vlogs takes lots of time, the young man feels proud that his vlogs have inspired many people. Boris said that he wanted to continue bridging the differences between two cultures. “This goal may not be achieved easily, but I will spare no efforts to do my part.”
41．Through the vlogs, Boris mainly wants to ________.
A．teach foreigners Chinese B．introduce a Chinese university
C．sell Chinese products D．share his experiences in China

A．translating it as a whole B．knowing its cultural background
C．making up some sentences D．comparing it with similar words
43．What inspired Boris to shoot vlogs?
A．His hunger for new technology. B．His wish to show the real China.
C．His interest in Chinese culture. D．His dream to be a big vlogger.
44．The poem Second Farewell to Cambridge is mentioned to ________.
A．meet the followers’ needs B．express Boris’s love for poems
C．show Boris’s efforts at vlog-making D．give an example of Chinese culture
45．The passage is probably written to ________.
A．say yes to Boris’s actions B．build bridges by making vlogs
C．call for more help D．achieve a common goal

The brush pen, one of the “Four Treasures of the Study”, was invented thousands of years ago. However, the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk.
It is said that Meng Tian, a general of the Kingdom (王国) Qin, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the Kingdom of Chu, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it.
One day after hunting (狩猎), Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it, “If I tie the rabbit’s hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with?”
On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth to write well and wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so disappointed that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard.

The brush worked beautifully on silk. It turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last.

Last year I had a trip with my friend, Nancy. The weather was cloudy except for one night. Nancy and I sat in the field and we felt relaxed. We talked about the fantastic trip, looking at the stars. “It’s a pity we don’t know which stars we’re looking at, Jenny,” said Nancy. “I know some of them,” I answered. Nancy felt surprised when I finally finished telling her all the names I knew.
My interest in stars began when I was eight. My aunt took me to a planetarium（天文馆）. A guide showed us the groups of stars and told us stories about how they got their names. The stories were wonderful.
Everyone knows we can see the stars better when it’s not cloudy, but lots of people don’t realize that a bright moon also stops us seeing very much. I always look for the Plough（北斗星）, because once I see that, I can find the North Star and other stars.
I wanted to learn more about the stars, so I took a course at the club. There are so many lights in the city that we have to go into the countryside to see any stars. I’m planning to make videos about stars in the countryside. I’ll post them online for everyone to watch. My greatest dream is to be an astronaut（宇航员）and I wish I could have a space travel.

“I used to take pictures for everyone else, but seldom turned my camera at my family members,” Yang said. “My grandson gave me the idea to record the growth and development of my own family.” Taking family photos then became a tradition for Yang’s family. Though now some of his grandchildren are working and living in other cities, they try their best to return home during the Spring Festival and prepare for the special moment.

When I was little, I was really little. But my dream was big. I dreamed of being a basketball player. I tried out for the teams at school, but I was never given a chance.
As I got older, I did grow a little bigger, but not a lot bigger. On my 12th birthday, I decided to try a new sport: running. I told Grandpa. “I’m going to be an athlete.”
“Dave.” Grandpa began gently, “if you can’t be big, you can do something big.”
I ran 12 miles on my 12th birthday. On my 13th birthday, I did it again, but I added an extra mile. On my 14th birthday, I ran 14 miles. 15 on my 15th, 16 on my 16th, and you guessed it—17 miles on my 17th birthday.
All this running inspired（激发）another big dream. Someday, I’d run the Boston Marathon（波士顿马拉松赛）. I told Grandpa about my decision.

I ran fast that day, But I fell at Mile 18 and was driven to the hospital. Later that night, I called Grandpa and told him I failed.
“No,” he said calmly, “you didn’t fail. You discovered something.”
“I did?” I asked.
“Yes, you discovered that big dreams don’t just come true. They take work. If you train and work hard, I promise to wait for you next year and cheer you on.”
I trained every day, running miles and miles. Sadly, just two months into my training, Grandpa died. He wouldn’t be waiting for my second Boston Marathon. I decided I’d run for him.

Dad checks on the computer, “Hey, look! It’s a pterodactyl（翼手龙）.” “A pterodactyl?” shout the children. “Yes, it’s a type of dinosaur. Pterodactyls can fly,” says Dad.
Then Helen names it Dacty.
A month later, he grows up. But there is something wrong with his wings. “My room is too small and Dacty keeps banging（碰撞）his wings on the walls. I feel sorry for him,” says Helen. Finally, they take Dacty to a vet（兽医）.

And at night, when the museum is empty, Dacty can fly around happily.” Then she takes them to the museum. On arriving, they take Dacty out of the basket. He stretches（伸展）his wings, flies high up and lands on a stone statue.
“Look, he likes here,” shouts Helen. “Can he see in the dark?” asks Roger. “Yes, they see clearly in the dark, just like owls（猫头鹰）,” says Aunt Elizabeth.
Six months passes and Dacty is very big now. One night, Dacty sees lights moving inside the museum. Two men—Bert and Eric come in with torches（手电筒）. They are wearing masks and trying to open a case（箱子）. Inside it is a mummy（木乃伊）. Suddenly Eric looks up and sees Dacty. He is very scared. “Look, Bert, there is a huge bird up there.” Bert looks up. Dacty doesn’t move, “Eric, don’t be silly. It’s only a statue,” says Bert. “Come on. I will open the case. You look for the gold medallions（大奖章）.” At the moment, Dacty flies down and catches Eric. The thief is very scared and he can’t say anything. Dacty flies up and lifts him on top of a statue. He’s stuck. At once, Dacty flies down again and catches Bert, too. Both of them are stuck there.
The next morning, when Aunt Elizabeth comes in, she sees the broken mummy case and the two men. They are shouting loudly.
Dacty flies down to her. “Here you are, Dacty,” she says and pets（爱抚）his head. “Thank you, you did a great job.” Then she phones the police.
The mayor（市长）shakes Dacty’s wing and puts a big shiny medal over his head. “Congratulations, you did a great job.” Then he turns to Aunt Elizabeth, “It’s great to have a big bird as a guard!”
“Dacty is a pterodactyl!” Roger says.
“Dacty is a hero now,” says Aunt Elizabeth.
“A pterodactyl?” shouts another man. “Wow! They love warm weather and jungles（丛林）. I work in the Botanical Gardens（植物园）.We have a wonderful palm（棕榈）house, big and warm, just like a jungle. He will love there. You can come to visit it anytime.”
So now Dacty is living in the Botanical Gardens. Roger and Helen visit him every day.

My five-year-old son befriends the woman. It starts with voices in the yard. When I come out to check on Daniel, his face is pressed on the fence（篱笆）.
The woman says, “You wait right here; I’ll be right back. ”
She returns with a saw（锯子）. There’s a whirring. A circle in the wooden fence drops out of sight.
“Dad! Sandy just drilled out a hole in the fence so Sandy and I can talk! ” Daniel spins around.
I hadn’t known her name was Sandy. We’ve lived here a month before Daniel was born.
Daniel’s and Sandy’s murmuring voices continue. Whenever Daniel is outside, he circles near the fence that isn’t a fence any more. Some days my son just goes to stand at the hole, yelling, “Sandy! Saaaaandyyyyy!” Sometimes I hear bits of their talk.
“We painted a ghost at school.”
Or: “Wheeler and Jackson were playing football, and they told me I couldn’t play.”
“That wasn’t very nice, ” says Sandy. “Did that hurt your feelings? Did you let them know that?”
I can’t hear how he replies. A moment of envy runs through me. He never talks about his school things with me.
Daniel and Sandy not only keep chatting through the hole, they also exchange gifts. A coloring book, then a Hot Wheels car. It’s unclear what Daniel gives Sandy in return.
One afternoon, I hear Sandy’s voice floating over the top of the fence with the hole. “I thought maybe Daniel could come for a play date.”
We ring the bell on Sandy’s porch. She’s a middle-aged woman with smiling eyes. Sandy’s yard is sweet with the smell of flowers. We have a pleasant afternoon with Sandy, my son’s adult friend, the first friend Daniel has made on his own.
A month later, Sandy leaves to care for her mother in Kansas. She left behind a box of presents: a coloring book, sidewalk chalk, the missing orange part in the Hot Wheels track. When I look at Daniel, he’s looking down at his shoes.
He sometimes wanders down to the fence. Instead of calling “Sandy! Saaaaandyyyyy!” he cries. “Hello! Helloooooo!”

（十九）（2022·江西·中考真题）
Why is the sea salt? Long before we discovered scientific ways of thinking about it, we explained it in a story. Even though the answer isn’t scientific, it holds some other truth in it — especially about the human heart.
Long ago, a poor old couple lived on the coast. One day, an old storyteller came to their village. The old couple gave him a meal. In return, he gave them a coffee mill (磨粉机) and said, “Say, ‘Mill, please grind (磨粉)’,” and it’ll make whatever you want, to stop it, say ‘Mill, please cease (停止) grinding’.”
Soon the old couple had a much better life. They’d been happy people, and they didn’t need much more. But the young couple next door were never satisfied. When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food, they burnt with envy (羡慕). So one day, the young husband went to the old couple’s house secretly and heard, “Mill, please grind hot chocolate!” He was surprised to see it coming out.
Then the young couple stole the mill from the old couple. With it, they rode a horse and set off down the coast, where no one would know them. Along the way, the husband showed proudly and asked, “What do you want it to make?” “Oh. I don’t know. Why not salt?” the wife said. “Mill, please grind salt!” he said. “It works!” the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. “Make it stop,” the wife said. But the husband didn’t know how. “Mill, please stop grinding! Please, no more!” His words didn’t work. The mill kept grinding. Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.
And there it’s been, for hundreds of years, endlessly grinding salt. That’s why the sea is salt.
27．The passage is probably a(n) ________.
A．folk story B．instruction C．science fiction D．science report

a. It began to produce salt.       b. The young husband threw it.
c. The young couple stole it.       d. The old couple got it.

A．The coffee. B．The horse. C．The mill. D．The chocolate.
30．How did the young husband’s feelings change?
A．sorry — sad — excited B．thirsty — excited — afraid
C．happy — nervous — proud D．surprised — thankful — happy
31．What does the word “truth” in Paragraph 1 imply (暗指)?

But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. ... Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.”可知正确的顺序是一对老夫妻得到了它，然后年轻夫妻偷了它并让它产盐，最后年轻的丈夫扔了它（d-c-a-b）。故选D。
29．
代词指代题。根据“ ‘Mill, please grind salt!’ he said. ‘It works!’ the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. ‘Make it stop,’ the wife said.”可知是想要磨粉机停下来，it指代“the mill”。故选C。
30．

I asked my dad if I had ever made him cry before because I couldn’t remember ever seeing him cry.
“There was once,” he said.
He told me that when I was one year old, he put a pen, a piece of paper money and a toy in front of me. He wanted to see which one I would pick.

My father was doing it because he was curious (好奇的). It was interesting for him to see which one I would pick.
He said that I just sat there and stared at the three things. He sat across from me and waited to see the result.

（二十六）（2022·云南昆明·中考真题）
For 16-year-old Ma Yifei, the violin performance of the Beijing 2022 Olympic theme song, Snowflake, was her best present for Paralympians (残奥运动员) all over the world. Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I’m also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma.
Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion.
Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly.
Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself.
“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practicing so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.”
In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the Central Conservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead.
Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event. “All my hard work has paid off. I’m proud of standing on the stage today.”

（二十九）（2022·浙江丽水·中考真题）
When she was 14 years old, Remya Jose’s life was turned upside down by a family crisis（危机）.
Remya, who lived in a small village in India, learned that her mother was ill and her father would have to spend his time caring for her. As a result, she and her twin sister had to do most of the housework—including washing clothes. To make things even more difficult, the Jose family couldn’t afford an electric washing machine. Instead, the two girls would have to do the washing all by hand in the local river, and then carefully carry everything back to their home—a task that took several hours.
Being a good student interested in engineering, Remya wanted to make a washing machine which could be used without electricity. She started studying electric washers to learn how they worked. Remya then designed（设计）a machine that used bicycle pedals（踏板）and chain. To find those items, she and her father went to a local auto shop. Workers there not only gave her the parts, they helped her make the machine!
Here’s how the machine works: Remya used a cylinder （圆筒）to hold the clothes and put it in a cube（立方体）. Next, she connected the bicycle pedals and the chain to the cylinder. As Remya pushed the pedals with her legs, the cylinder cleaned the clothes just like a regular washing machine.
Remya’s invention worked! She had created her own human-powered washing machine—and now a task that used to take several hours took only 30 minutes. Remya’s washing machine was chosen from among 25,000 entries as India’s best innovation! She was given India’s National Award and honored by the nation’s former president.
The story of this young woman’s creative invention spread around the world.
“Remya Jose made a difference,” said Jeanine Thomas of The Borden Project, “Her invention saves time and money for the world’s poor. Her story shows that with creativity, one individual can improve the lives of many.”
27．What was Remya and her twin sister’s main problem?
A．Their parents were too busy.
B．They couldn’t get good education.

A．with help, an inventor can win great honor

（三十四）（2022·四川眉山·中考真题）
Twice a month, Jenny Green sits down, picks up her pen and writes a letter to her best friend. The British woman has been doing it for 80 years. She has sent more than 1,500 letters to her pen pal in America.
The hobby started in 1942. Jenny, then 12 years old, was reading a magazine. Some ads in the magazine were asking for pen pals. One of them caught Jenny’s eye. It was from Alice Miller. She lived in America and was also 12. “It was exciting for me,” Jenny said. “I sat down at once, wrote a letter, put it in an envelope—together with a picture of myself —and posted it.”
Jenny spent every day waiting for the postman. Two weeks later—which felt like a lifetime—a reply dropped through the letter box. “I was overjoyed,” Jenny said. “There was a letter and a picture of my new friend. She was all the way on the other side of the world!”
Jenny and Alice wanted to learn more about each other. They kept writing. The two found that they had a lot in common. They liked the same books and the same films.
However, both Jenny and Alice were too poor to afford a plane ticket. It was not until 1987 that they met. “I was glad to see the person I had been writing to for 40 years,” Jenny said. “We had a big hug and then sat down, chatting for hours.”
Now in their nineties, Jenny and Alice are still writing to each other. And they still write by hand. “Writing is warmer and friendlier. So why shall we change the habit of a lifetime?” Jenny said. “I’m so glad that I wrote that first letter 80 years ago.”
19．Where did Jenny Green first see Alice’s information?
A．In a magazine. B．On a website. C．On social media. D．In a newspaper.
20．The underlined word “overjoyed”（in Paragraph 3）probably means “________.”

③They liked the same books.             ④They liked the same movie stars.

April 22nd is World Earth Day—a day to remind people to protect the earth. So on that day, our family held an activity “bottle of trash challenge”. That means the trash needs to be put in a 600ml bottle. We decided to challenge ourselves and produce as little trash as possible.
My father worked online all day, so he didn’t produce any paper waste except paper napkins. He made the least trash in our family.
My mother cooked and produced plenty of kitchen waste, such as vegetable leaves, eggshells and food bags. What’s worse, we couldn’t eat up all the food of the dinner that day. So leftovers couldn’t be avoided. It was not easy for mom to deal with all the trash, but she found a way to put it all into the bottle. How amazing!
My sister, a 16-year-old student, was busy preparing for her exams. She had to use paper to work out math or physics problems. She used only one side of the paper in the past. But that day, she tried to use both sides of the paper because she realized we were challenging ourselves. She did a good job!
I was different from my sister. I love snacks and drinks. So my trash was almost from them. I was highly alert(警觉的) that I must produce less waste. I hardly ever had snacks or drinks. It was too difficult, but I did it!

“He’s sure to come for the presents we’ve received,” added Mrs. Joe. “We can’t hide them all. How can we deal with him?”
“We must keep an eye on him,” said Mr. Joe.
As soon as Erin arrived, the couple started to keep a sharp lookout. After dinner, the three talked nervously from one boring topic to another in the living room.
Suddenly, Erin asked, “You’ve got so many presents. Can I take a look at those pretty silk scarves?”

Erin studied the scarves carefully, lost in thought. The couple got more anxious.

Erin’s eyes widened as he was listening. Mrs. Joe handed the scarf to Erin.

Do you still hug your parents? How do you feel when you hug them? When do you need a hug the most?
It was a cold November morning several years ago. My alarm clock had just gone off, but I was having trouble getting out of bed. My dad had died a few weeks before. I felt weighed down by sadness and depression.
Tough and strong, my dad had worked so hard all of his life to support us. He would sometimes shout at my brothers and me, but I always knew that he loved me. Still, he had been raised (养育) in a traditional way and raised us that way too. I couldn’t remember, for example, ever being hugged by him.
After my mom and grandma passed away, my dad moved into grandma’s home. I was so happy to have him close by. I would often visit him and just talk with him about life. But we still seldom touched and never hugged. Finally his own health began to rapidly fail and within a few months he left us. It was a cold morning when we had his service (追悼会), but I was too cold inside myself to feel it. I couldn’t remember when we’d had our last hug.
I sighed (叹气) and got out of my bed. I turned on the lights and walked into the hallway. I saw my son Jim walking down the hall to meet me. Suddenly, he opened his arms and gave me a heart-felt hug. And just as he did, I heard my dad’s voice deep inside of me say, “Joey, this hug is from me!” I cried and smiled at the same time. In that moment, in the place where heart, mind, and spirit all meet, I felt loved. I felt loved by my dad. I felt loved by life.

Like most kids, Landon Kenstrick, 5 years old, has a favorite animal. However, his favorite animal is quite different from other kids’. He loves pangolins.
Pangolins have small heads and long, broad tails. They are toothless. They have small ears, but their hearing is good.
Their sense of smell is well-developed, too. But their sight is poor. When they feel frightened, they roll up into a ball to protect themselves. “My favorite thing about the pangolin is the scales （鳞片）it has on its body. They look cool, “Landon said.
Landon first learned about pangolins from a TV show, Wild Kratts. Knowing that pangolins are facing the danger of dying out, Landon quickly decided to take action to protect them. He wanted to tell everyone he knew about them. On Halloween, he had his parents carve （雕刻）a pangolin into their pumpkin （南瓜）, so that when people asked what it was, he could tell them all about his favorite animal. When Christmas came around, Landon had only one wish: to save the pangolins. His parents had him “adopt （领养）” a pangolin in Landon’s name. They also came up with a good idea. They helped Landon make Christmas gifts to sell to help raise money for the pangolins at a market. So far, he has raised $ 400.

Zhu Keming never thought he would be a hero one day, but he was just that on Saturday when he saved the lives of six runners during the mountain marathon （马拉松）in Baiyin, Gansu Province, in which 21 people lost their lives.
It started off as a normal day for the 49-year-old shepherd, who was taking care of his more than 30 sheep on the mountainside. But soon the weather was terrible, with rainfall and hail. The rain got so heavy that he couldn’t see clearly and had to run into a cave where he normally went to have a rest. Soon he fell asleep in the cave after covering himself with some quilts he had stored there.
But he was awakened at 2 pm by an unusual sound that was not coming from his sheep. The sound that woke Zhu was the cry of a runner in the marathon. He was wet from head to toe and trembling because of cold. Zhu took him into the cave, lit a fire and covered the stricken （受伤的）runner with his quilts.
Zhu said that there were soon five runners huddling （挤作一团）in the cave, and he then decided to go outside to try to attract the attention of rescuers （救援者）. When he risked coming out of the cave, he found another stricken runner lying on the ground in bad condition. Then the other runners came out of the cave to give a hand. Zhu and the six runners remained huddled around the fire in his cave until 7 pm, when the rescue team arrived.
“I just did what I had to when I saw that these people were in danger. I think everyone would do the same thing in such a situation, “Zhu said to Beijing News.

Cast of Characters: Narrator, Kayla, Ms. Lee, Zack
Narrator: On a sunny day in southern Texas, Ms. Lee’s students gathered in the school playground.
Ms. Lee: Tomorrow is the day of the sidewalk（人行道）chalk-art festival. The principal has allowed us to practise our wet-chalk drawing on the playground sidewalk, which will be our studio. Remember, whenever you want to draw on a sidewalk, always ask an adult in charge for permission before you draw. Now let’s review the steps of wet-chalk drawing. What do we do first?
Narrator: As the students told her the steps in order, Ms. Lee wrote them on a large pad of paper. When she finished writing, she pulled the paper off the pad and displayed the directions so everyone could read them. Then the students chose and soaked （浸湿）their pieces of chalk. Meanwhile, Kayla and Zack planned their drawing.
Kayla: Let’s draw a jungle feast. Parrots can be eating all kinds of fruit.
Zack: I’ll draw a model train carrying food to the birds.
Narrator: The students removed their pieces of chalk from the water and drew. As Zack drew a sweeping curve of train track, his hand knocked over the jar of water. He and Kayla watched water streak across their drawing.
Zack: Our drawing is ruined（毁坏）！
Kayla: Don’t be so worried! Quick, mix the water and the chalk together! Now let’s use more chalk and smear（涂抹）it around.
Narrator: Kayla and Zack worked quickly. The smeared colours looked glorious, like rich, thick frosting on a cake.
Ms. Lee: That looks great! That’s a special method you’re using, kids. Are you two interested in taking part in the chalk-art festival tomorrow? The timetable for the festival says that drawing starts at 9:00 a.m.

When we first moved here, we didn’t have a garden. Mike and I talked about making a large vegetable garden somewhere in our yard, but we couldn’t agree on where. Before we went ahead and dug up the grass, we spent some time thinking about where it would work best. At last, we chose an old sandbox（沙坑）in our front yard to become our garden.
We dreamed about a lively garden with lots of vegetables. We asked many people what we should do to turn this sandbox into a space, then plants can grow in it. And they gave us lots of ideas. My sister was the most knowledgeable, so we listened mostly to her. At first, Mike made a wood fence（栅栏）and I painted it with the kids. We chose a darker color because it would fit our light grey house.
Next, Mike dug 17 holes. Then we filled them with soil（土壤）. It was still too cold to plant anything, so for days I just stared out the window at these holes. To me, it looked much too untidy. I advised to fill those holes back and dig new ones. This time we ended up with 10. Much better.
Over the next few weeks, I worked on getting everything planted in my garden. I started by planting green onion. But I was too excited and planted it too early. Right away it was clear that it wasn’t going to survive. I had to give it up and try something else. Then my next door neighbor gave me red roses to put in my garden. A few days later we went to a greenhouse and came back not with green onion but peppers, tomatoes and so on. Clearly the vegetable and flower garden was slowly becoming our dream garden. Oh well!
I love the way it turned out. This garden will always remind me of my sister.

Derek Redmond
It was the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992; the semi-final of the 400 metres. The sun was shining and the crowd were ready for a great race. The British athlete Derek Redmond was a top runner: he had a very good chance of winning a medal.
The race began. At first, Derek was running well. Then, after about 150 metres, he felt a pain in his leg. He fell down on one knee. He had a bad injury and couldn’t carry on. The other runners went past him and finished the race.
After about five seconds, Derek got up and started to run again, on one leg only. Some organizers tried to stop him but he kept going. The crowd stood up and started to clap. Then another man came onto the track—Derek’s father, Jim. His father put his arm around him and said, “Derek, you don’t have to do this.” Derek replied, “Yes, I do. I have to finish.” And so together they walked the last 50 metres and crossed the line.
When he finally crossed the line, Derek was crying and 60,000 people were cheering him.

Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner
In the summer of 2010, mountaineer Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner was almost at the top of a mountain called K2 in Nepal. She was trying to climb the 8,61l-metre mountain for the fifth time and this time she was climbing with her friend Fredrik Ericsson,

___▲ K2 was now a very sad place for her, and she thought perhaps she would never climb the mountain.
But there was something very important that she wanted to do: K2 is one of 14 mountains in the world that are 8,000 metes or higher, and her dream was to climb them all.
So in August 2011 she went back to Nepal and K2, and tried again. This time, she got to the top. Her dream was complete.

Old Man Used His Own Money to Send 33 Strangers to College
A retired carpenter（退休的木匠）from Des Moines has helped send 33 kids to college since his death in 2005.
Dale Schroeder was a simple, honest man. He grew up poor and worked as a carpenter for the same company for 67 years.
“Went to work every day. Worked really hard. Was frugal（节俭的）,” said Schroeder’s good friend Steve Nielsen. “He had church jeans and work jeans.”
No one thought that he had saved up a large number of money.
Schroeder never married and had no children, so before he died, he went to his lawyer with a plan for his money. “He said, ‘I never got the chance to go to college. So, I’d like to help kids go to college’,” Nielsen told CBS News.
“Finally, I was curious（好奇的）and I said, ‘How much are we talking about, Dale?’ And he said, ‘Oh, just shy of $3 million’. I nearly fell out of my chair,” Nielsen recalled.
Schroeder left special instructions for his money: send kids to college.
“He wanted to help kids that were like him, and that probably would not have had a chance to go to college without his gift,” Nielsen said.
Schroeder ended up paying for 33 strangers’ college money.
The persons, who have named themselves “Dale’s kids”, got together earlier this month to honor the great man who changed their lives. They’re now doctors, teachers…

The School of the Air is a school for children who live far from the cities, and who are in a place which does not have a local school. So we have “air” lessons over the radio or on the computer. Our teachers are at Port Augusta, a city which is about 160 kilometers away.
In the morning, we go to our school at 8:45. △ When we get there, we turn on the radio or computer and listen to what we should do. From then until twelve, we just do our usual lessons. In the afternoon, our mum makes us do some homework—well, not homework, but more work around the house.
We send our exercise “books” to our teachers by email on Friday night. They mark them on Monday and Tuesday, and then send them back. We get them on Wednesday.
The Internet and the telephone help us get in touch with our teachers quickly and easily. We talk to our teachers once a week for about ten minutes. They tell us if we are making progress. Next year I will start at a new school in Port Augusta. I will spend the weekdays there and come home at weekends. It will be good to be with teenagers of my age, but I will miss my family. I hope I will be happy there.
78．From the passage we know that ______.
A．the Black family is very poor
B．the Blacks lives far from Port Augusta
C．there is a small local school near the Black family
79．Which sentence can best replace “ △ ”in the passage?______

INTRODUCTION
It’s hard to believe that I wrote Number the Stars more than twenty years ago. It seems like yesterday that I answered the phone on a snowy January morning and received the news that it had won the 1990 Newbery Medal（美国纽伯瑞儿童文学奖）.
I think readers of every age may match themselves with the important persons in the books they love and ask themselves: Would I have done that? What choice would I have made?
And ten-the age of Annemarie in Number the Stars—is an age when young people are beginning to develop a strong set of personal ethics（道德观;价值观）. ...They are beginning to realize that the world they live in is not always good and safe.
So they follow a story about a ten-year-old girl who is caught in a dangerous situation, and she must make decisions. Young readers become cheerful when Annemarie takes a deep breath, enters the woods, faces the danger, stands up to the enemy and wins her victory.
Today, the book has been published in many countries and translated into many languages. It found its way into the hands and hearts of children who had read about but never experienced war. . . . Books do change lives, I know; and many readers have told me that Number the Stars changed theirs when they were young, that it made them think about both cruelty（残酷;残忍） and courage. “It was something that shaped my idea of how people should be treated, ” wrote a young woman recently, telling me about her own fourth-grade experience with the book.
The Danish friend who first told me the story of her childhood, and who became the Annemarie in my book, is an old woman now. So am I. We both love thinking of the children reading the story today, coming to it for the first time and realizing that once, for a short time and in a small place, a group of prejudice-free（不存偏见的）people created a touching story of love and kindness towards others.
Lois Lowry

87．Many young readers told the writer that the book made them think about ______.
A．ethics and friendship B．enermy and victory
C．cruelty and courage D．life and memories

When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals and other projects began to be built in my village, “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied.
Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project (水利工程) was completed, a policy (政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.
Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside.
Nowadays, people work hard to live in a big city. However, we should not forget our hometowns where we are from.

Think of somebody you really admire. You will probably find that their success didn’t come easily. As “Father of Hybrid Rice(杂交水稻)”, Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life working to reduce world hunger and helping to feed the country with the largest population.
Wu Mengchao, the “Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery(肝胆外科)”, focused on saving people’s lives for nearly eighty years. He performed more than 16,000 operations during his life. Holding the surgeon’s knife for such a long time deformed his fingers. Wu once said, “It would my greatest happiness if I could work at the operating table until my dying day.”
In 1969, in order to solve the problem of treating malaria(疟疾), Tu Youyou, pharmacologist (药学家) took on the job as head of a research team. She and her teammates performed different kinds of experiments. However, the results were disappointing. Instead of giving up, they kept trying. Finally, in 1972, they made it! In 2015, at the age of 85, she received Nobel Prize.
Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb believed that every failure was a step towards success. He once said, “If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I haven’t failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong try is another step forward.”
Sometimes, their success was a surprise, even to themselves. The famous scientist Alexander Fleming said, “When I woke up just after daybreak on 28th September, 1928, I certainly didn’t plan to revolutionize(变革) all medicine by discovering the world’s first antibiotic(抗生素). But I guess that was exactly what I did.”
Some people only became successful after their deaths. Not like Pablo Picasso who became famous and very rich during his lifetime, the artist Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend. But he kept painting and he painted more than 2,000 artworks in the following ten years. Now his paintings are very popular and they sell for millions of pounds.
One thing all these people have in common is sticking to their goals no matter what.
94．What do Yuan Longping and Wu Mengchao have in common?______
A．They succeeded in solving world problems.
B．They spent all their lives serving people.
C．They achieved a lot in the medical field.
D．They are remembered for their happiness.
95．The underlined phrase deformed his fingers could be replaced by ______.
A．changed the shape of his fingers B．made him feel down
C．gave him too much pressure D．got his fingers cut off
96．It is clear that ______.
A．Pablo Picasso became famous after his death
B．Vincent Van Gogh painted 2,001 artworks in his life
C．it took Tu Youyou’s team about 3 years to reach their goal
D．Thomas Edison tried 10,000 ways before he invented the light bulb
97．When Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic, he ______.
A．felt too tired to stay awake B．didn’t plan to study all medicine
C．knew exactly what his success meant D．didn’t fully realize its importance
98．What does the writer mainly want to tell us?______
A．Not everyone can be successful. B．The more difficulties, the better.
C．Great achievements aren’t made naturally. D．Great hopes make great men.

An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came, flying and buzzing near his ear. The elephant waved it away with his long ears. Then the fly came again and the elephant waved it away once more.
This happened several times. Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can’t you just stay in one place?”
The fly answered, “I am interested in whatever I see, hear or smell. My five senses, and everything that happens around me, pull me here and there and I cannot resist (抵抗) them. What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still? ”
The elephant stopped eating and said, “My five senses do not rule me. I am in control of myself — my senses do not tell me what to do. This helps me stay focused on whatever I do, and so, keep my mind calm and still. Now that I am eating, I am completely enjoying eating. In this way, I can just focus on enjoying my food.”
After hearing these words, the fly’s eyes opened wide and a smile appeared on his face. He looked at the elephant and said, “I understand! I will always be restless if I let my senses control me. On the other hand, if I try to use some self-control, my mind will become calm and I’ll be able to stay still.”

In 1987 a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world’s second largest maker of smartphones. It has also become the world’s supplier (供应者) of 5G. In China and even in the world, Huawei is a wonder. Although it started producing mobile phones not many years ago, it has become one of the most famous phone companies.
But recently, Huawei faces some difficulties. The US government made a law to stop its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the US government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei. They believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt this way.
“We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information,” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s president said. “The law would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems,” Ren added.
In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only £4000 at the beginning, but now it has become a 100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic as you imagine.”
Facing the law of the US, Huawei is growing. Huawei’s smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared with a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far Huawei has grown into the world’s largest telecommunication equipment supplier (供应商), selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.
117．How many kinds of smartphones are mentioned in total in this passage?______

D．Huawei has developed its business smoothly.
119．What does the underlined word “romantic” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?______

“I spent my whole life doing one thing,” Gu Fangzhou once said. Known as “the father of sugar pills (糖丸)”, Gu passed away on January 2, 2019. Eight months later, he received a national honorary-title (荣誉称号) “the People’s Scientist” for his polio (脊髓灰质炎) research.
Gu Fangzhou, a famous medical scientist, was born in June, 1926. Gu’s family faced a difficult time with the sudden death of his father. He studied hard and finally entered Peking University as a medical student in 1944. After graduation, Gu made the decision to work to help improve public health.
In 1955, polio broke out in Nantong, Jiangsu Province. It paralyzed (使瘫痪) 1,680 people, mostly children aged below seven. It spread to neighboring areas and resulted in 466 deaths. Gu was asked to lead polio research in 1957. “At that time the only way to prevent polio was to invent a vaccine (疫苗),” said Gu.
In 1959 Gu succeeded in developing the first polio live vaccine. Later, he developed the “sugar-coated pill” vaccine in the early 1960s. It not only tasted better but was more affordable and easier to keep. To test the vaccine, Gu tried the vaccine in person and later his one-month-old son was vaccinated. This inspired his team to vaccinate their kids. They became the first group of people in China to try a polio vaccine. “If we don’t believe in what we produce, how can others believe in it?” said Gu.
Gradually, the sugar-coated polio vaccine was made available in China. It saved millions of people, especially kids, from being disabled. In 2000, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that China was already a polio-free country. “We feel satisfied. I can tell people that I tried my best, and your kids will no longer get polio,” said Gu. “That’s all we hoped for. ”

C．Since 2000, China has become a polio-free country.

Jason and his father were going to the grocery store by car to pick up some apples. It had been an unusual day. The sky was dark but there were few clouds. As they drove up the street, there started to be a rumbling （隆隆的） sound heard across the ground.
Jason’s father immediately realized that a tornado （龙卷风） was coming. He stopped the car and told Jason to get out immediately. Jason and his father got out of the car and made their way to the closest building. By this time the wind was blowing harder, and it was hard to see or hear. Debris was falling all over the place. Jason couldn’t see his dad anymore. He also realized that he wasn’t getting to the building fast enough. He was afraid he would be picked up by the wind and thrown into the air.
As he made his way towards the building, he noticed a field to his right. He could see an irrigation ditch（灌溉渠）. In a panic, he scrambled （爬） to the ditch and lay flat on the ground. More debris and objects flew overhead. His heart was beating hard, and he was nervous. He had never been in a tornado before.
After a while, the winds died down and the loud roaring sound was gone. Jason slowly lifted his head and nervously looked around. What he saw was a great mess. Jason could hardly recognize the buildings in front of him because of all the damage.
He stood up and with shaky legs walked to the building. Once there, he pushed the door open and went inside. It was a public building owned by the city. It was empty, but Jason could hear noises further inside. He walked into the large room and saw his dad. He ran across the room and gave him a big hug.

Have you ever bought something and then changed your mind? For Alison Jenson, 15, this used to happen several times a week. Alison was a shopaholic. She just couldn’t stop shopping and she loved special offers.
Alison’s bedroom is full of stuff. “I’ve been to every shop in Birmingham, I think,” says Alison. She picks up some earrings. The labels are still on them. “These were half price,” she says. “I’ve never won them.” Alison’s problem wasn’t just jewellery. She also bought a lot of clothes, though not many shoes, because they were usually too expensive. She has also bought lots of other small things-like 20 new covers for her phone. She hasn’t used any of them.
According to experts, we all feel excited after we buy something new. For shopaholics, it’s a little different. Soon after they buy something, they think they’ve made a mistake and start to feel unhappy. So they buy themselves something else to feel happier.
Psychologists （心理学家）first described the problems of shopaholics in 1915. However, there was very little research on the subject until recently. Now, doctors think thousands of people suffer from the problem, and the situation is getting worse. There are also more teenage shopaholics now, although most young people don’t have enough money to go shopping very regularly.
Alison knew she had a problem. “I often bought something every day. Usually it was something small, but I just needed to buy it,” she says. “I spent money that I got for my birthday, and when I was short of cash, I borrowed money from friends or my parents. When I couldn’t go shopping, I felt anxious. Then one day, my parents just looked at all the stuff in my room and said, This is crazy!I knew they were right. I needed some big changes in my life.”
Alison now gets help with her problem and feels she has changed. She no longer thinks she’s a shopaholic. “When I want to buy something in a shop, I ask myself two questions,” she says. “Do I need it? Can I afford it? The answer to both questions is usually ‘no’, so I walk away. It’s great!”
129．What do experts say about shopaholics?______
A．Shopaholics feel sad when they are shopping.
B．Shopaholics soon feel unhappy after they have bought something.

D．Shopping is the only way shopaholics can feel happy.

A．psychologists B．doctors C．Alison’s parents D．Alison’s friends

If your pencil box is broken, the batteries (电池) in your flashlights run out, or you have some leftover food, how will you deal with these things? You will probably throw them all into one rubbish bin. But actually, we need to sort (分类) all the rubbish separately. If you don’t sort your rubbish, all of it will go to a special place where it is buried (埋藏) together. As a result, it will take up some fields. Some rubbish will pollute the groundwater. Some rubbish that can be reused will be wasted.
In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on rubbish sorting.
Shanghai has called on all the people living in this city to sort their rubbish into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. Wet waste is known as household waste. They are things you don’t want but pigs can eat. Paper, metal, glass, plastic and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste. Harmful waste includes thins like medicine, batteries. Finally, any waste that is not wet, recyclable or harmful will go to the “dry waste” bin.
Many other Chinese cities are also using this way to sort their rubbish. For example, Deyang has been sorting its rubbish into the same four groups since several years ago. Students in Deyang have already received waste-sorting guidebooks. They have studied these books and known how to sort the rubbish.
China is now improving its waste-sorting efforts. There is still a long way to go. But it’s never too late to learn how to sort your rubbish rightly. We should take an active part in it.
140．How many bad results will there be if all the rubbish is buried together?______
A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five.

For his first trip, he went hiking with a friend around the M25-a 188-kilometre road that goes all the way around London. Other adventures included swimming in the River Thames, sleeping outside on a hill, and going on a mountain biking trip.

Humphreys wanted other people to make this discovery, too, so he decided to share his idea. He challenged people to go on microadventures and send him four-minute videos of their trips.

My name is Ryan and last summer my family and I went to an island for our summer vacation. There were so many fun and interesting things to do on the island, but my favorite was fishing. Every day, my mom, my dad, my younger brother Derek and I went to the beach. We took our little fishing boat with us. Mom didn’t like fishing, so she stayed on the beach and read a book.
One morning, while we were fishing, we heard a loud noise. “What was that?” I asked. “Oh, don’t worry, Ryan. It might be a turtle（海龟）swimming under the boat,” said Dad, Derek and I looked around the boat, but we couldn’t see anything. Then we heard a different noise, which sounded like an animal. “Look, Dad, there it is!” shouted Derek. It was a sea turtle and it couldn’t swim well. “Let’s go closer and see what’s wrong with it,” Dad said.
When we got closer, we saw that there was a piece of plastic（塑料）around the turtle’s legs. “Let’s help it,” I said. So Dad jumped into the water, swam to the turtle and brought it back to the boat. “There you go, little turtle; now you can swim to your family, “Dad said as he cut the plastic off. Then Derek and I put it back in the water. “I know! We should make a sign about not throwing rubbish into the sea, and put it in the sand on the beach,” I said. “I’ll help, too,” said Derek. “Great idea, boys. If we don’t all do something to stop sea pollution, these sea animals will die.”

Have you ever thought how important T-shirts are in your life? I don’t mean expensive designer T-shirts, After all, just because you spend a lot of money on a shirt doesn’t mean that it looks good. I’m talking about the T-shirts that say something about you, like where you’ve been, what you like, or what you think. Those are often the T-shirts that we feel the most comfortable in and that we wear again and again. I’m going to tell you about two T-shirts that I really, really love and explain why.
I’ve been to London twice. The first time I went I saw this shirt in a souvenir（纪念品）shop and my dad bought it for me. I really loved the design and the colors. And it reminds me of something funny that happened. One day we were travelling around the center of London. We almost got lost, but we found our way — thanks to the picture on this T-shirt!
Sometimes I’ve bought clothes that I’ve never worn or that I’ve only worn once or twice. But I’ve worn(and washed o)this T-shirt hundreds of times. I love music and I love Adele. I haven’t seen many of my favorite artists live, but I bought this when I went to Adele’s concert two years ago. It was a great concert and this is a great souvenir. And white T- shirts go with anything, not just jeans!
So, those are just two of my favorite T-shirts that tell a story. What about yours?
posted 16th April at 16:57 post a comment
I’ve never been to China and I don’t know any Chinese, but one of my favorite T-shirts has the Chinese characters on it. One of the reasons that I like it is because I love the bright colors of the characters. And it has sentimental（情感）value. Last year, my brother studied in Beijing and he gave me this when he came home.

These three lucky children always had everything they needed: pretty clothes, good fires, a lovely playroom and a dog called James. They had a happy life, but they did not know how happy till the pretty life in the large house was over.
Peter had a toy engine and it broke. After dinner, Peter showed Father the engine. Father looked it over and promised to do it on Saturday.
At that moment two men came to see Father. Minutes passed. Father’s voice came out from the study, loud and angry.
More time passed. Then Mother came in and said, “Father’s been called away— on business.”
A week after their father went away, their mother said, “Now, we’re going to move to the country. A pretty little white house, called Three Chimneys. ”
The family started packing: clothes, plates, candles and also tables and chairs. “We seem to be taking all the ugly things,” said Roberta.
“We’re taking the useful ones,” said Mother. “We’ve got to play at being poor for a bit.”
Peter said joyously, “I do like moving! I wish we moved once a month.” Mother laughed and said, “I don’t like moving!”
As she turned away, Roberta saw her face. She never forgot it.
“Oh, Mother,” she whispered, “how I love you! You are brave enough to laugh when you’re feeling like that! ”
Then they took a train to Three Chimneys. No one knew how long they had been in the train when Mother woke them up.
They stood in the cold night air on the dark platform. At that moment they didn’t know how important the station and the trains would become to them. They didn’t know they were going to be the railway children.

As a mountain, 1,642-foot Squaw Peak isn’t that impressive. But its views attract many hikers（远足者）. Henry Grant, a college student at Ithaca College, was one of them.
While waiting for his mother one day in August, 2019, Grant watched other hikers enjoy the view. One hiker, dressed in pink, was looking over the lip of the cliff（悬崖）with her husband.
When Grant’s mother rejoined him, the two continued on their way. Suddenly, he heard something scaring: “Paula! Paula!” a man shouted crazily. Grant turned around quickly. ______
Several hikers immediately started looking for her, but their view was screened by trees. Uncertain they could help, Grant and his mother headed down the trail. But when he saw some hikers still searching, he decided to lend a hand. After promising his mother that he would be safe, he went on alone.
After 15 minutes of climbing over large rocks, pushing past bushes, and slipping（滑） down loose earth, Grant found a pink figure. The woman had fallen about 75 feet. Luckily, she was alive.
“Paula! Paula!” Grant shouted. The woman didn’t reply. She was badly hurt. Grant called the police to report her location. She kept trying to move, and every time she moved, she slipped a little more. Afraid that in her unclear state of mind she might fall off the rock to her death, Grant climbed on all fours up a tight, narrow path by digging into the earth with his fingers and feet until he reached Paula.
Paula was moaning, almost senseless. Grant gently put her hand in his, trying to keep her mind off the pain by keeping asking her questions: “Where are you from? Do you have kids?” Soon, they were joined on their perch（歇脚处）by another hiker named Simon.

It’s been 100 years since the actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin produced the film The Kid, which many consider to be his greatest one.
Like all films at the time, The Kid was made in black and white and was silent (made without any sound, not even the characters talking). The story is about the relationship between “the Tramp”, played by Chaplin, and his adopted (领养的) child, played by Jackie Coogan. The pair develop a partnership where the six-year-old boy breaks windows and runs away, so that Chaplin’s character can offer his services as a window fixer.
Although the film is a comedy, it also has some tragedy, reflecting Chaplin’s own life. He started testing actors for the role of the Kid just a few days after his baby son had died. Chaplin was known for being hard to please, and it is said that if he could, he would have played every role in every one of his films. When Chaplin visited a theatre, a dancer brought his son, Jackie Coogan, on stage, and Chaplin knew he had his co-star (联袂主演者). Chaplin later wrote, “All children in some form have talents; the trick is to bring it out in them. With Jackie it was easy.”
Like the Kid in the film, Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor. They lived in London and were raised by their mother. When Chaplin was 10 years old, his mum became too ill to look after her sons, so they had to take care of themselves. He later wrote that the film sets in The Kid were based (基于) on the places where he and Sydney had lived with their mother as children. “Perhaps that’s why the film had some truth,” he said.
184．The second paragraph mainly talks about ______.
A．why The Kid was made B．when The Kid was on
C．how The Kid got successful D．what The Kid is about
185．We can infer from Paragraph 3 that Jackie Coogan ______.
A．always visited the theatre alone B．was possibly talented in acting
C．knew much about Chaplin before D．played every role in Chaplin’s films
186．Which of the following is TRUE about Chaplin?______
A．He had a poor childhood experience. B．He was brought up by his father.
C．He looked after his mother very well. D．He produced films with his brother.
187．What’s the best title for the passage?______
A．A film about a dancer B．A family in London
C．A place or film-making D．A life on film
【答案】
184．D
185．B

Chaplin later wrote, ‘All children in some form have talents; the trick is to bring it out in them. With Jackie it was easy.’ ”可知卓别林一看到Jackie Coogan就知道自己有了联袂主演者，且他认为使Jackie Coogan的天赋显现出来很容易，由此推出Jackie Coogan可能在表演方面有天赋。故选B。
186．细节理解题。根据“Like the Kid in the film, Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor. They lived in London and were raised by their mother. When Chaplin was 10 years old, his mum became too ill to look after her sons, so they had to take care of themselves.”可知卓别林的童年很贫苦，A项正确。故选A。
187．标题归纳题。通读全文可知文章讲了卓别林的电影《孩子》寻找角色的过程，并提到他在电影中融入了自己的生活经历。用“A life on film”做标题最合适。故选D。

Dmitry Doronin, a doctoral student from Russia, is keen（热衷的）to share his experience in rural villages in Zhejiang with his 1.4 million followers online.
Since Dmitry started to live in the countryside last August, the 32-year-old has created hundreds of video clips that record the relaxing lifestyle in Hengzhang village, Lishui city. “The rice is grown in the fields together with fish, which helps to increase local agricultural（农业的）products,” said Dmitry, while introducing products from Hengzhang village on the popular Chinese short-video platform Douyin. Besides filming videos, Dmitry also enjoys working with farmers in the fields, doing activities such as planting vegetables and feeding chickens.
Living in a village provides him with unique experiences, he says, quite different from busy life in big cities, such as Shanghai, where he studies. And he has been a pleasant surprise to the villagers as well. Villager Bao Mingyue, 76, says, “To our surprise, the young Russian not only knows how to cook Chinese food but is interested in working in the fields.”
Because of the outbreak of COVID-19, the sales of local agricultural products had dropped rapidly, so Dmitry volunteered to help sell the products in his videos. In a few months, 10, 000 kilograms of oranges, 4,000 kilograms of dried sweet potatoes and 300 kilograms of honey had been sold.
“Thanks to his videos, it seems that more tourists have come to visit our village,” says 72-year-old Pan Xianyu, who is very pleased to see the great changes in her hometown. Dmitry loves his country life. “In the countryside, you can immerse（沉浸）yourself in the traditional way of life and understand this country better,” he says.
According to Dmitry, some Russians’ opinions about China are still out of date, although China has progressed greatly. “I would like to become a people-to-people envoy（使者）of friendship between the two countries by using the Internet,” he says.

When Wang Haiyan was young, her favorite toys weren’t Barbie dolls. Instead, she started learning to make shadow puppets(皮影) from her father at 13. Now 43, Wang has spent 30 years practicing and spreading the art.
Shadow puppetry is a form of theater that uses puppets made from leather(皮) or paper, accompanied(伴奏) by music and singing. It was invented during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC—AD 24). It tells us about folk tales and historical stories, passing down culture and customs over thousands of years.
Shadow puppetry is all about creating the puppets and performing with them. Wang’s hometown of Hua county, Shanxi, is known as the birthplace of the folk art.
Puppet—makers must follow 24 steps to make the puppets including washing the leather, carving(雕刻) and painting, according to Wang. Carving is the most difficult part.
“We have a special carving skill—moving the leather under the knife,” Wang said. It took Wang three years to master this skill. She used a brick(砖块) to strengthen her left hand while practicing. It takes about 3,000 carves to make a shadow puppet. “The complex (复杂的) steps make it hard to hand down the folk art,” she said.
But Wang has found a way to do so. In recent years, she has made shadow puppets based on some cartoon series and given a live streaming performance. She used colors like blue and purple that were hardly seen in shadow puppetry and added more sticks to the puppets to make the performance more lively. “I hope more and more young people enjoy shadow puppetry and pass it down,” she said,
203．Making the puppets includes the following steps except ______.
A．painting B．carving C．washing the leather D．making bricks
204．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?______
A．Where shadow puppetry was invented.
B．What shadow puppetry is.
C．Why people like shadow puppetry.
D．When Wang began to learn shadow puppetry.

A．传承 B．提高 C．酷爱 D．放弃

We see humans all around us. But when was the first human seen? Early humans did not leave behind any written records. However, they left behind many paintings on the walls of the caves(洞穴) where they lived. These paintings tell about their life, and we know these early humans walked on four limbs(四肢) like apes（猿）. Also, they did not live at one place but moved from place to place in search of food and water.
Without any tools, early humans used stones, bones of animals, and sharp pieces of wood to dig, hunt and cut their food. They also used these to protect themselves from animals. Since stones were used to make tools, this age was called Stone Age.
With time going, tools made of bones and stones were replaced with metal(金属的) ones which were stronger, sharper, and long-lasting. Metals were also used for farming and making knives. Copper(铜) was the first metal to be used.
The first fire that early humans noticed was natural fire caused by lightning(闪电). With fire, early humans could now light up dark caves. They could keep themselves warm during cold weather and cook meat. Also the fire could drive animals away.
Early humans noticed new trees growing from the seeds(种子) that fell to the ground from the fruits. This gave them the idea that they could make their own food by planting seeds, which led to farming.

(The Red Vineyards , 1888, by Van Gogh )
Although it’s said Van Gogh(梵高)(1853-1890) sold only one painting during his lifetime, different theories(理论) exist(存在).
It is true that The Red Vineyard is the only painting sold during Van Gogh’s lifetime, and that was officially(官方地) recorded and accepted by the art world. It’s recorded that Van Gogh started painting at 27, and died at 37. His famous paintings were produced after he went to France in 1888, only two years before he died. So it would be clear that he did not sell many.
However, others disagree. The leading Van Gogh scholar(学者), Marc, is one of them. Though the story that Van Gogh sold just one painting still goes around, he insists(坚持说) that Van Gogh sold at least two.
Also, according to the Van Gogh Museum website, Van Gogh actually sold a number of paintings for living during his lifetime. His first money came from his uncle, who was an art dealer(经销商). In order to help Van Gogh’s career(事业), he ordered 19 paintings. And Van Gogh himself would often trade his paintings for food or art supplies(美术用品) when he was younger.
Van Gogh died in July of 1890. His brother was a wise dealer and saved lots of paintings by Van Gogh. His greatest wish was to make the works more widely known and make much money. Sadly he himself died just six months later. He left a large collection of art to his wife, who “sold some of Van Gogh’s works, lent as many as she could to exhibitions, and published(出版) many of Van Gogh’s letters to his brother. Without her, Van Gogh would never have become as famous as he is today.” After her death, her son founded the Van Gogh Museum.
220．According to ______, only one painting was sold during Van Gogh’s lifetime.
A．the official records B．the Van Gogh Museum website
C．Van Gogh’s brother’s son D．Van Gogh’s uncle
221．What can we infer(推断) from Paragraph 4?______
A．Van Gogh’s paintings were popular. B．Van Gogh was poor then.
C．Van Gogh disliked his paintings. D．Van Gogh’s paintings were expensive.
222．Which statement is right according to the passage?______
A．Van Gogh’s brother got rich by selling his paintings.
B．Van Gogh wrote many letters to his brother.
C．Van Gogh’s brother died earlier than him.
D．Van Gogh’s brother’s wife sold all his works.
223．Who is the most important person to make Van Gogh so famous?______
A．Van Gogh himself. B．Van Gogh’s brother.
C．Van Gogh’s brother’s wife. D．The leading Van Gogh scholar.
224．The passage is mainly about ______.
A．whether Van Gogh sold only one painting in his life
B．how Van Gogh became famous
C．the whole life of Van Gogh

222．推理判断题。根据“published(出版) many of Van Gogh’s letters to his brother”可知，梵高写了许多信给他的弟弟，所以B表述正确，故选B。
223．细节理解题。根据“…He left a large collection of art to his wife”及“Without her, Van Gogh would never have become as famous as he is today”可知，因为梵高弟弟的妻子，他才变得如此有名，故选C。
224．主旨大意题。根据“Although it’s said Van Gogh(梵高)(1853-1890) sold only one painting during his lifetime, different theories(理论) exist”可知，本文主要讲述了讨论的是梵高一生是否只卖过一幅画，故选A。

I came to the United States from Africa to live with my uncle Jim in Maryland. One year later, I lost my sight because of a serious illness.
Jim told me not to go out. He worried I would get lost or hit by a car. But I was dogged. I told him I’d pay attention. I believed I’d succeed. I must succeed. I must put my will into action. I dreamed of being a broadcaster.
Then a neighbor told me that a public library in Washington D．C．was offering a free course, specially designed for blind people. This was an important chance for me.
But how would I map my way? I knew that the American singer Ray Charles, also blind, got around on his own without a cane（手杖）. His secret was to count steps. But I couldn’t see what to do that way. Instead, I developed my imagination, sensing the layout （布局）of places I visited and taking notes of landmarks in my mind.
At first, I would have to stop to imagine and map a new space in my mind. The next time I visited that place, I used that to find the way. Today, I am used to doing it. But I’ve still lost my way many times. I have to swallow my pride to ask for help, not thinking about what others think or say about me.
Sometimes I’d be down and I’d consider giving up. Perhaps my uncle was right. Maybe I’d stay home and wait until someone came to help. On those days, when I lost my way, I’d go to bed with a bad feeling. ▲ . I had a strong wish to beat blindness and be successful, and that was usually enough to get me out of bed. The next day and try again.
Along the way, I learned to be patient with myself and realized that asking for help didn’t diminish（贬低） me in any way. I’ve got three academic degrees so far.
Today, I’m a reporter and broadcaster. I’ve achieved my dream.
Yes, I’ve lost my way many times-and found it again. Yes, I’ve come close to being hit by a car but never been hit by one. When people ask, “Aren’t you afraid to be out alone?” The answer to me is clear: I would face danger and find happiness instead of staying home and being unhappy.

A．got lost B．became blind C．lost his parents D．was hit by a car

Samantha Lane, the officer who answered the call, was so moved by Sisu’s love for the unicorn that she bought the $10 toy for the dog.
“The only thing we can think of is that he came from a family that had a similar toy or had children who had one,” said Joe Newbum, a director of Duplin County Animal Services.
“It’s a nice dog,” Newbum added. “He likes to play and he is very smart. He sits, stays and shakes hands. He is very polite.”
And whoever is lucky enough to adopt（收养）Sisu will get two best friends for the price of one. According to the Facebook post from Duplin County Animal Services, Sisu and his stuffed animal have already had an adopter.
253．Why did Sisu break into the store in North Carolina?______
A．To meet his adopter. B．To look for some food.
C．To get the unicorn freely.
254．What can we learn from Joe Newbum’s words?______
A．The family had only one child.
B．The family owned many unicorns.
C．Joe Newbum thought highly of Sisu.
255．What is the right order according to the story?______

b. Sisu broke into the store.
c. The salesman called for help.
d. The officer bought Sisu the unicorn.
A．b-d-a-c B．b-c-d-a C．c-d-b-a

Rowling put the first two chapters online on May 26, with daily writing to follow until July 10.

（2021·浙江湖州市·中考真题）

Masa walked slowly towards the house, stopping now and then to cut off dead leaves or fading flowers. There were few weeds (杂草). Yuki had spent many hours of her two-week visit weeding in the garden. Masa wondered if Yuki had spent so much of her time outside because she wanted to avoid talking to her.
But Yuki must have wanted very much to see us, Masa told herself. She had visited in the last weeks of June, as soon as her college was out for the summer.
She said she wanted to stay longer but couldn’t because she had to work. Besides, she needed to use the studio at her college for photography and she had to go to the library to read.
“Why do you have to go to college to study art?” Masa asked her. “All the great artists didn’t go to college.”
Yuki shook her head. “That was a different time. It’s hard to explain.”
“I was thinking you could live with us all year round and still be an artist. This is a nice quiet place to live.”
“I don’t know. How would I support myself here?” “You can always give lessons.” Masa said.
“But I don’t want to spend a long time looking at kids’ drawings.”
“What will you do after you graduate, anyway? Will you become a teacher somewhere else then?”
“Grandma, I don’t know.” Yuki sighed.
“What is the use of going to college if you don’t know what you’re going there for?” “Maybe I’m going because I don’t know. I just want to study art now. I don’t want to think that far ahead.”
The minute Masa was going to point out that this was too careless a way to live, Yuki suddenly stood up and put on her straw hat.
“I’m going to the garden to weed your flowerbed,” she said, “Let me know if there’s something else I can do.”
On Yuki’s visit, Masa felt strained when they talked, and she was sure Yuki also felt it. But Yuki was never rude or irritable (易怒的). Even when they disagreed, her face was always full of patience.
275．According to the passage, Yuki was ______.
A．a gardener B．an artist C．a college student D．an art teacher
276．From the underlined sentence, we can infer (推断) that Yuki wanted to______.
A．end the conversation B．weed the flowerbed
C．leave Masa’s garden D．take some photos
277．It can be learnt from the passage that _______.
A．Yuki studied art because she wanted to be a teacher
B．Masa wasn’t satisfied with Yuki’s work in the garden
C．Masa and Yuki agreed on living together all the year
D．Masa and Yuki had very different ideas about college

275．细节理解题。根据“She had visited in the last weeks of June, as soon as her college was out for the summer.”可知Yuki是一名大学生。故选C。
276．推理判断题。上文讲Masa和Yuki对于上大学的看法有很大不同，结合“The minute Masa was going to point out that this was too careless a way to live, Yuki suddenly stood up and put on her straw hat.”可知Masa正要指出Yuki的生活方式太不仔细，而Yuki不愿继续谈下去才突然站起来戴上草帽，她是想终结对话。故选A。
277．推理判断题。根据第四至十一段中Masa和Yuki之间的对话可知，Masa不想Yuki去上大学，但Yuki想要去上大学，两人产生了争论，由此可知Masa和Yuki对大学有非常不同的看法。故选D。
278．推理判断题。根据“and she was sure Yuki also felt it. But Yuki was never rude or irritable (易怒的). Even when they disagreed, her face was always full of patience.”可知两人的对话出现了争议，Masa和Yuki的感觉一样是不好的，“strained”应是一种不舒服的感觉。故选B。

“Amy! Milk!” Mama called.
Milk. It was Amy’s turn to get it. Amy sighed and shut her first-aid(急救) book.
Amy tied the cow close to a tree. Somewhere down the mountain, some volunteer doctors were teaching medical skills to village nurses. Amy heard Betty dive off hours ago. “She should have taken me with her. She thinks I’m too young.” Amy thought. “But she’s wrong. I am already 15!”
Amy carried the milk back to Mama, then wandered up the road. Roy, a village boy, was trying to stand on a horse’s back. “No wonder they don’t trust kids with anything important,” Amy thought.
She had just turned away when she heard a heavy fall and a few cries. Roy was on the ground. “Roy!” The kids nearby ran towards him. “Get Betty,” one said. Amy shook her head. “Betty’s gone to the city.”
The kids didn’t know what to do. Amy ran to Roy and saw one of his legs out of shape. A broken leg! She remembered what the first-aid book said about it.
“Victor!” Amy called to one of the boys. “Go get Roy’s mama, and find someone with a truck,” She turned to the others. “Give me your shirts. We need something to tie his leg with.”
Amy then found a strong, straight stick. She carefully wrapped the shirts around Roy’s leg and the stick. Roy cried out in pain. “I know it hurts,” Amy said softly. “But this will hold it still until you get to the hospital.”
When Amy was done, she looked up and saw Roy’s mama and a man watching beside a truck. “Thank you, Amy,” Roy’s mama said. Amy helped them lift Roy into the truck, then they drove down the hillside towards the hospital.
The next day, Betty came to Amy’s home. “I heard what you did,” Betty said. “You kept your head in an emergency. That’s an important skill.”
Amy’s face turned red. “I was afraid ...”
Betty shook her head. “It’s OK for a nurse to be afraid, as long as she has a clear head. The volunteer doctors are coming tomorrow with vaccines. We need some more hands. Can you help?”
“I’d love to.” Amy replied at once.
“Come early, then. There is a lot to learn.”
Amy smiled. “I’ll bring my first-aid book.”

I locked myself in the barn toilet, and carved a guitar neck from a scrap(废弃的) piece of wood.

One day I walked past a rubbish bin and saw a folding (可折叠的) table lying there. I thought I could make something out of it. It was just the right size a bigger one wouldn’t have fitted into the room. I fixed a slab of board for the desk and made the back of the seat softer, then I oiled the screws so it is easier to fold.
Our dad’s friend made the Little House for his daughter. It was made of wood and bricks which were thrown away. And when she grew up, he offered it to us. So how long has it been standing here? I’m forty years old now, so it must be at least fifty. The man’s name was Bob. He’s not alive any more but I still remember the nice time in the Little House.

Passage 9【2020 •南通市】

Resting her phone on a stand and making the light more suitable, 49-year-old Lyu Min started her livestreaming session — her daily job during the COVID-19 outbreak. Dressed in a qipao, a traditional Chinese dress, Lyu started the livestreaming session from her workshop at 10 in the morning, sharing the art of making Chinese knots with many handicraft(手工艺) lovers. Lyu, an inheritor(继承人) of the art of making Chinese knots, which is listed as an intangible(非物质) cultural heritage, became a livestreaming host.
“Though the sales of Chinese knots have dropped a lot, I’m still confident that I can get out of the trouble brought by the outbreak. I can make full use of this period to improve my skills and develop this traditional handicraft online,” she said. Lyu is quite new to the world of livestreaming, having bought all the necessary equipment(设备) after following her friends advice. She practises livestreaming every day and records a large number of educational videos. As face-to-face interaction is still impractical for many, even as the outbreak has been largely brought under control in China, she thinks livestreaming classes can meet more Chinese knot lovers’ needs to learn the handicraft.
She has integrated the anti-epidemic spirit into her works, expressing the determination(决心) and confidence of the Chinese people to win against the COVID-19. “I love Wuhan, where I showed my works in 2019. Chinese knots are popular among many local people, and I made lots of friends there,” Lyu said. She designed a special Chinese knot to express her thanks to the medics who were sent to support Wuhan several months ago.
She has more than 200 followers right now. There are more and more Chinese knot lovers on her online platform. She is using a length of colored string and determination to keep this traditional art of Chinese knots alive online and help more people understand the culture.

Passage 10【2020 •南通市】

Herman planted the hot peppers (胡椒) in his five-hectare field in his town. The 36-year-old man put up a sign reading “Africa Hema Village” in Chinese, English and his native language. His first harvest will start this
month. Herman studied in China from 2011 to 2018, receiving his master’s degree and a doctorate in environmental science. He returned to Rwanda in 2018 with his wife, Yang Hong, who is from China, and started his own business. Hema Xiansheng CEO Hou Yi visited Rwanda to find quality products to bring to the Chinese market. Hot peppers were one of his discoveries. The couple helped Hou’s team, from research to field trips, testing production processes (加工) and so on. They also helped Hema Xiansheng’s purchasing (采购) manager, Chen Huifang, when she led a team of eight to visit Rwanda to research the possibilities of making hot pepper products that suit Chinese preferences.
“We wore rubber gloves when we touched them. Our fingers still felt hot the next day,” Chen said. Their research and development team spent four days studying and cooking the peppers. Transporting fresh hot peppers to China proved difficult, so the fresh peppers can’t be imported (进口) into China. Then Chen’s team decided to perform basic processing in Rwanda before shipping. Processing requires a careful balance. Too much salt will make the peppers less delicious. Too little, and the peppers may go bad. Because plastics mustn’t be used in Rwanda, they had to find proper ways to carry the pepper sauce. The material they first used couldn’t stand the long flights. Now Chen is happy to see that the pepper sauce has sold well in Hema’s offline and online stores.
Herman pointed out that few local farmers grow hot peppers because the market is small. A small amount is sold to Europe. And local need is limited due to its spiciness. So, about half the harvest is wasted every year. A young man in Rwanda will only make 10 yuan ($1.4) a day by working in the cities, but if they grow hot peppers due to Hema’s orders, they can make 50 to 60 yuan a day. Herman expressed his willingness to introduce more people to make more money by farming, rather than working for lower incomes, when e-commerce (电子商务) can bring greater needs and sales.
“It’s a chance for Rwandan people to join the new field and change their lives,” Herman said, “Through building more Hema Villages, Rwanda has the chance to become a country of digital agriculture.”
42. “Africa Hema Village” in Paragraph 1 is a place _______.
A. called Hema in Africa B. where Herman’s wife was born
C. providing hot peppers for Hema D. for Africans to buy hot peppers
43. Why should the peppers be processed before shipping to China? Because _______.
A. a balance is needed when the processing is done
B. fresh hot peppers mustn’t be imported into China
C. in Rwanda, people are not allowed to use plastics
D. during shipping, fresh hot peppers are easy to go bad
44. If a young man in Rwanda grows hot peppers for Hema, he may get about ______.
A. 10 dollars a week B. 1,600 yuan a month
C. 500 dollars a year D. 16,000 yuan half a year
45. What can we learn from the passage?
A Many types of products have been offered in Africa Hema Village.
B. Hot peppers from Africa have a large market all around the world.
C. Hema Xiansheng paid for Herman’s seven-year education in China.
D. Herman hopes to do something to improve people’s lives in Rwanda.
本文讲述了赫尔曼通过自己的努力和不断尝试，向中国的盒马生鲜输送自己种植的胡椒，并且呼吁更多的卢旺达人加入到这个领域，以此来改变他们的生活。
42.C【解析】推理判断题。根据Africa Hema Village这个名字，可推断出这个地方与“盒马”有关，排除B和D选项。再结合下文but if they grow hot peppers due to Hema’s orders，中国的盒马给赫尔曼提供了许多订单，这个地方应该是给盒马生产胡椒的地方。故选C。
43.D【解析】细节理解题。根据Transporting fresh hot peppers to China proved difficult, so the fresh peppers can’t be imported (进口) into China，可知，因为运输新鲜的胡椒到中国很困难，很容易变坏，所以在运往中国之前要先加工。故选D。
44.B【解析】细节理解题。根据but if they grow hot peppers due to Hema’s orders, they can make 50 to 60 yuan a day，可知，如果人们种植胡椒，每天可以得到50-60人名币，结算成美元，一周大约是50-60美元，排除A选项。一年大约是600-720美元，排除C选项。一个月约1500-1800人民币，B选项正确。半年大约是9000-10800人民币，排除D选项。故选B。
45.D【解析】推理判断题。根据“It’s a chance for Rwandan people to join the new field and change their lives,” Herman said, “Through building more Hema Villages, Rwanda has the chance to become a country of digital agriculture.”可知，通过自己种植胡椒的经验，赫尔曼呼吁更多的卢旺达人加入到这个新领域，以此来改变他们的生活，让卢旺达成为一个数字农业的国家。由此可推断，赫尔曼想做些事情提供卢旺达人们的生活水平。故选D。
Passage 11【2020 •泰州市】
Once upon a time, a king dressed up and went to a local village. He placed a large stone in the middle of the main road and hid gold coins under the stone. Then he hid behind a huge tree and watched.
The first person down the street was a milkman with his car (小车). He crashed into the stone and the milk spread all over the ground. “What fool put this stone here? “he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away.
After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing a pot of water on her head. One woman tripped over (绊倒) the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground. She picked herself up and walked away in tears. Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road.
The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody was willing to move it. The king wondered, “Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbors from harm?”
Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She had been working all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself. “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the road after dark. I’ll move it out of the way.”
After a great deal of effort, the girl finally succeeded in moving the stone to the side of the road. Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been!
Just then, the king stepped out from behind the tree. “Oh sir,” the girl said, “Is this gold yours? If not, we surely must find the owner, for he will certainly miss it.”
The king said, “My dear, the gold is mine, but now the gold is yours, because you are the only person who has learnt the lesson I want to teach my people. Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems.”

Passage 14【2020 •扬州市】
As a kid, I walked to the library several times a week and stayed up late reading. I checked out so many books and returned them so quickly the librarian once snapped, “Don’t take home so many books if you’re not going to read them all.”
“But I did read them all,” I said.
In college, when I created my online dating（约会）profile, in the “ favorite books” section I put One Hundred Years of Solitude, A Moveable Feast, White Fang and so on. But I realized I hadn’t read most of those titles for two years.
David was my first online date. David read about a book or two a week. When we compared libraries, we had only four titles in common.
On our seventh date, David and I visited the library.
“I have a game,” he said, taking out two pens and Post-its（便利贴）. Let’s find books we’ve read and leave reviews in them for the next person. ”
We stayed there for an hour.
Before leaving, I said, “I will tell you something. I’ve only read one book this year. ”
“But you like books, ”he said. “You like bookstores. You like libraries. Read a book!”
Back home, David’ s charge to “read a book” echoed in my head. I bought books whenever I got the chance, but I hardly read them. They sat on every surface until my house appeared to wear books the way one wears clothes.
I picked up one. Whenever I wanted to give up on it, I thought of David__________.
“How’s your day?” David texted.
“Good. A little tired, ”I replied. “I stayed up late and finished my book. ”The last time I’d pulled an all-nighter to read, I was 12 and the book was Little Women.
David suggested we visit the library again. He pulled a book from the shelf, dropped to one knee, and opened it. Inside, his Post-it read:“Karla, it has always been you. Will you marry me? ”

Passage 15【2020 •扬州市】
Katie Steller has her own salon (美发院). She often wheels her red chair and scissors around the city to give free haircuts.
Edward was her first lucky customer. He looked to be in his 60s. He was balding and missing a few teeth. While she was cutting his greying hair, he told her about moving closer to his adult children.
Till now, Steller has offered about 30 such haircuts. These people are all living a hard time, and she is aware of the power of her cleanup job.
“It’s more than a haircut,” she says. “I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships. ”
Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. As a teen, she had a very serious disease and her hair thinned terribly. Her mother took Steller for her first professional haircut.
“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says.
After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. In 2019, she began her Red Chair Project.
She says, “I can’t fix their problems with free haircuts, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.”
Early this year she started the Steller Kindness Project, in which people who do acts of kindness (volunteering for snowstorm relief, helping neighbors in need) are invited for a free haircut at Steller’s salon. In exchange, they tell their stories, which Steller shares on her website. Her hope is that by reading about kind acts, others will spread their own.
So far Steller has had people reach out from around the country.
38. Why did Steller start her Red Chair Project?
A. To help her neighbors in need. B. To attract customers to her salon.
C. To help the lonely people feel less alone. D. To invite customers to tell their kind acts.
39. What does Steller mean by the sentence “It’s more than a haircut” in Paragraph 4?
A. A haircut can fix people’s problems.
B. A haircut is what people need most.
C. Haircut stories are well reviewed on her website.
D. A haircut is a simple act to show care, value and respect.
40. Which best describes Katie Steller?
A. Lonely and inactive. B. Kind and thoughtful.
C. Doubtful and generous. D. Serious and careful.
41. Which sentence best expresses the theme of the story?
A. Simple acts of kindness like a free haircut will spread.
B. Haircuts need practice and practice makes perfect.
C. It’s heartbreaking to see how lonely people look.
D. We can win great respect by giving free haircuts.
凯蒂·斯特勒（Katie Steller）拥有自己的美发沙龙。她经常在城市周围推着红色椅子和剪刀，免费理发，这么做是为了暂时减轻他人的孤独感。

39.D【解析】词句猜测题。根据第四段“It’s more than a haircut,” she says. “I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships. ”意为“她说：“这不仅仅是理发。” “我希望它成为展示价值和尊重，同时也结识人们的门户。 我想建立关系。 ””因此可知剪发是一种表现关心、价值和尊重的行为。故选D。
40.B【解析】推理判断题。文章讲述了凯蒂·斯特勒（Katie Steller）为人们免费理发，这么做是为了暂时减轻他人的孤独感。由此可推知她关心他人，是个非常善良周到的人。故选B。

Her hope is that by reading about kind acts, others will spread their own.意为“今年年初，她启动了“斯特勒善待项目”，其中邀请了做善事的人（为减轻暴风雪而做义工，帮助有需要的邻居）在斯特勒的沙龙免费理发。 作为交换，他们讲自己的故事，斯特勒在她的网站上分享。她的希望是，通过阅读有关善良的举止，其他人将传播自己的行为。”由此可知诸如免费理发之类的简单善意行为将会传播。故选A。
Passage 16【2020 •镇江市】


In a few hours Sam would be flying to Germany. We looked at each other but no sound broke the silence of my beach-side house.
Such a moment was not the first time for me. On Sam's first day of kindergarten(幼儿园), I felt his stress when holding his hand. He looked at me-as he did now. But I said nothing till the school bus came. About ten years later, I drove him to the college. He was sick but I didn't know then. I thought he was just too tired. I tried to think of something to say as he would start a new period of life. Again, _______.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those opportunities we parents all let pass. A boy graduates from school, a daughter gets married. We seldom find a quiet moment to tell them what they have meant to us. Or what they might face in the future.
Sam was weak when he was born but grew into a strong boy. Then he became the best baseball player in high school. His finest moment came when he got the first prize at a science fair. I was sorry he gave up his athletic talent, but proud that later he chose English literature. One day, I told Sam I regretted never traveling abroad to know better about the world before working. Sam decided to learn German in Berlin, even though his friends thought it meaningless.
The night before he was to leave, I failed to say any words again. Maybe, I thought, it wasn't necessary to say anything.
What does it matter if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? But as I stood before Sam, I knew it does matter. My father and I loved each other. However, I always regretted never hearing him put his feelings into words.
"Sam," I said, "if I could have picked, I would have picked you." I wasn't sure he understood what I meant. Sam came towards me and threw his arms around me, saying "thank your". My eyes misted over(模糊). Then, the moment ended, and Sam left home.
That was seven weeks ago, and now I think about him when I walk along the beach near my home on weekends. Thousands of miles away Sam might be busy walking in the street of Berlin.
What I had said to Sam was not new. It was nothing. But, it was everything.
(adapted from Words from a Father)
29. Which of the following can be put at the end of Paragraph 2?
A. I failed to say a word B. his illness worried me
C. I decided to go abroad D. his growth satisfied me
30. When Sam heard "if I could have picked, I would have picked you", he might feel_________.
A. stressed B. sad C. calm D. excited
31. What does the writer mean by writing the last sentence "But, it was everything"?
A. A father should care about his son's education.
B. A father should express deep love to his son.
C. A son should take his father's suggestion.
D. A son should respect his father's decision.
本文讲述了一个父亲对儿子深深的爱，从儿子上幼儿园，到上大学，父亲从未在儿子面前表达他的爱，这一次在儿子临走之前，父亲说出了深藏已久的话，儿子激动地抱着父亲说感谢。
29.A【解析】词句猜测题。根据Such a moment was not the first time for me…But I said nothing till the school bus came. About ten years later, I drove him to the college…I tried to think of something to say as he would start a new period of life. Again，可知，儿子每次进入人生重要的时刻，父亲都想说什么，但是都没说出口，这一次也一样，结合所给选项，此空填A选项，表示“在一次，我一句话也没有说”。故选A。

Passage 17【2020 •江西省】
In 2007, Barrington Irving became the youngest person to fly alone around the world. He was just 23 years old—and he built the plane himself. How did he achieve this?
Irving's interest in flying started when he was 15. He was working in his parents’ bookstore in Miami, Florida. One of the customers was a pilot, Gary Robinson. One day, Robinson asked Irving if he was interested in flying. Irving didn't think he was smart enough. But the next day, Robinson took Irving to an airport. He showed Irving inside the cockpit (驾驶舱) of a Boeing 777. That experience changed Irving’s life.
Irving really wanted to fly, but flight school was expensive. To achieve his dream, he worked different jobs. He washed airplanes and cleaned swimming pools. At home, he practiced flying on a video game. In the end, he got enough money for flight school.
At flight school, Irving achieved his dream of learning how to fly. But he wasn’t finished. Next, he planned to build his own plane and fly alone around the world.
Building the plane was difficult. Irving asked more than 50 companies for airplane parts. Most said no, but he persisted (顽强地坚持) in asking. Three years later, he had parts worth $300,000. Columbia, an airplane company, agreed to build a plane using the parts. Soon, his airplane was ready to fly.
On March 23, 2007, Irving began his round-the-world trip. After 97 days—with 145 hours in the air—he landed back in Miami. A cheering crowd of people was there to welcome him.
Irving saw many young people in the crowd, and this had a powerful effect (影响) on him. He wanted to use his experience to help other young people achieve their own dreams.
“Everyone told me what I couldn’t do,” says Irving. “They said I was too young, that I didn’t have enough money. But even if no one believes in your dream,” he says, “you have to pursue (追求) it.”
37. Why was Gary Robinson important in Irving's life?
A. He got Irving interested in flying. B. He sent Irving to a flight school.
C. He helped Irving build a plane. D. He taught Irving how to fly.
38. Put the events about Irving in the correct order.
a. Irving got the parts for his plane. b. Irving flew around the world,
c. Irving met Gary Robinson. d. Irving learned to fly.
A. c—d—a—b B. c—a—d—b C. b—c—a—d D. b—c—d—a
39. What can we know about Irving's personality according to the passage?
A. Clever and honest. B. Humorous and responsible.
C. Polite and powerful. D. Hard-working and persistent.
40. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Becoming a Pilot. B. Life in Flight School.
C. Achieving a Dream. D. Building Your Own Plane.

38.A【解析】细节理解题。根据短文第二段到第六段的描述可知，Irving15岁时在Robinson的带领下，对飞行产生了兴趣，然后去了飞行学校学习飞行；接下来他自己制造了飞机，开始环游世界的飞行。正确的顺序是cdab，故选A。

Most said no, but he persisted (顽强地坚持) in asking.”可知，Irving为了实现自己的飞行梦，努力工作去赚钱上航校。在找公司制造自己的飞机时，他被拒绝了很多次，但仍然顽强坚持。由此可知，hard-working“工作努力的”和persistent“顽强坚持的”这两个词最能体现Irving的个性。故选D。
40.C【解析】主旨大意题。根据文意可知，这篇短文讲述了Barrington Irving从15岁开始对飞行有了兴趣，然后努力学习飞行，克服种种困难，制造了自己的飞机，并环游世界的故事。由文章的最后“He wanted to use his experience to help other young people achieve their own dreams.”可知，通过Irving的故事，短文是鼓励年轻人们要努力实现自己的梦想。C选项“实现梦想”能够体现文章的主题，作为题目最为合适。故选C。
Passage 18【2020 •丹东市】
Once again. Myra sat alone on the bus. Even after two weeks at her new school, Myra had not made any friends. At breaks (课间) she played alone. In art class, she drew alone. In the lunchroom, she ate alone. And on the bus ride home, she sat alone.
Myra could not understand why no one wanted to be her friend. Other kids joked and laughed with each other. But none of them joked and laughed with her. Just thinking about it made her head hurt and her stomach feel funny.
One day, as Myra sat alone on the way to school, she looked at the seat across from her. She saw a girl sitting all by herself. The girl looked lonely, too. Myra wondered if she should say hello.
But what if the girl didn't want to be her friend? Maybe she already had a lot of friends. What if the girl ignored (忽视) her? What if she laughed at her? Myra stared at the floor of the bus. Finally, she took a deep breath to relax and smiled at the girl. The girl smiled back.
Myra said, “Hi, I'm Myra. Do you want to sit next to me?”
The girl's smile grew. “I'm Nadia! Yes. I'd like to sit next to you.”
At the next stop, Nadia slid (滑行) into the seat next to Myra. They joked and laughed the whole way to school.
At breaks, Myra and Nadia played together. In art class, they drew together. In the lunchroom, they ate together.
And on the bus ride home, they sat together. When it came time for Myra to get off the bus, she turned to her new friend. “Bye, Nadia! I'll see you tomorrow!”
Nadia smiled. “Good-bye, Myra. I'll save you a seat.”
Myra got off the bus. She turned around and waved to Nadia. Then she watched as the bus drove away. A big smile spread across Myra's face. She had made a friend, a friend who was going to save her a seat tomorrow. She could hardly wait.
36. Myra did everything alone at first because ________.
A. something was wrong with her head B. she had no friends

Myra来到新学校已经两周了，但是她还没有一个朋友，她总是一个人。一天在去学校的公交车上，Myra鼓起勇气和车上的另一个孤独的女孩主动聊天，她们成为了好朋友。
36.B【解析】细节理解题。根据短文第一段“Even after two weeks at her new school, Myra had not made any friends. At breaks (课间) she played alone. In art class, she drew alone. In the lunchroom, she ate alone. And on the bus ride home, she sat alone.”可知，Myra来到新学校两周了，她还没有交到一个朋友，因此她总是一个人做很多事。故选B。
37.C【解析】词义猜测题。interesting有趣的；excited兴奋的；sick难受的，生病的；disappointed失望的。根据语境“Other kids joked and laughed with each other. But none of them joked and laughed with her. Just thinking about it made her head hurt and her stomach feel funny.”可知，其他的孩子们总是一起说说笑笑，却不带她，这让Myra感到很头痛，胃里难受。因此sick的意思与funny最为接近，指身体不舒服，故选C。
38.D【解析】细节理解题。根据短文第三段“One day, as Myra sat alone on the way to school, she looked at the seat across from her. She saw a girl sitting all by herself. The girl looked lonely, too.”可知，Myra是在去学校的公交车上遇到了Nadia。故选D。
39.D【解析】推理判断题。根据短文第四段“Finally, she took a deep breath to relax and smiled at the girl. The girl smiled back.”可知，Myra先是对那个女孩微笑，那个女孩也对她微笑，然后她们开始聊了起来。由此可知，微笑是对别人表示友好的一种方式，因此如果我们想和一个人交朋友，我们应该先对他/她微笑。故选D。
40.B【解析】推理判断题。根据短文第八段“At breaks, Myra and Nadia played together. In art class, they drew together. In the lunchroom, they ate together.”可知，Myra和Nadia一起玩、一起上美术课、一起吃午饭。由此可见，她们两个人是在同一所学校中，故选B。根据第九段“And on the bus ride home, they sat together. When it came time for Myra to get off the bus, she turned to her new friend. “Bye, Nadia! I'll see you tomorrow!””可知，Myra比Nadia先下车，因此Myra的家比Nadia离学校更近，故A不对；根据短文第四段“But what if the girl didn't want to be her friend? Maybe she already had a lot of friends. What if the girl ignored (忽视) her? What if she laughed at her?”可知，在跟Nadia聊天之前，Myra非常的犹豫，故C不对；根据第十段“Nadia smiled. “Good-bye, Myra. I'll save you a seat.””可知，Nadia会给Myra留座位，不是让座位。故D不对。故选B。
Passage 19【2020 •丹东市】
After leaving school for many years, a group of graduates (毕业生) visited their teacher. All of them complained about problems and stress in their work and life.
The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large bottle of coffee and many kinds of cups—china (瓷), plastic and glass. He told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the teacher said, “If you noticed, all the nice-looking and expensive cups had been taken, but the simple and cheap ones had been left behind. Although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source (根源)of your problems and stress. In fact, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. it is just a tool to contain (容纳) what we drink.”
What all of them really wanted was coffee, not the cups, but they all went for the best cups. And then they began to watch others' cups. Life is the coffee; jobs, money and the social position are the cups. The cups we have do not change the quality of our life.
Sometimes, if we only pay attention to the cup, we will fail to enjoy the coffee.
The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

48.C【解析】推理判断题。根据the teacher said, “If you noticed, all the nice-looking and expensive cups had been taken…it is just a tool to contain (容纳) what we drink.”可知，所有好看的，昂贵的杯子都被拿走了，只剩下简单的，便宜的杯子，但是事实上杯子本身并不能影响咖啡的质量，它只是一个工具。老师想通过各种各样的杯子让学生明白生活的一个道理：每个人都想要最好的东西，但是往往这些外界的因素并不能影响生活的质量。故选C。
49.D【解析】细节理解题。根据In fact, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. it is just a tool to contain (容纳) what we drink，可知，事实上，杯子本身并不能提高咖啡的质量，它只是一个用来装我们喝的东西的工具，故选D。

They just make the best of everything，可知，最开心的人不是拥有最好的东西，他们只是把每件事做到最好，所以我们要尽力做好生活中的每件事，故D选项正确。故选C。

Ancient trees are today rare (稀少的) everywhere in the world. On Vancouver Island in Canada, there are so many big trees. The biggest trees are about 800 years old. They are the survivors of a forest fire. The fire brought damage (损害) to the area about 350 years ago. Randy was told of a very tall tree on Vancouver Island. The tree was said to be 314 feet tall. That would make it the tallest tree in Canada. Randy set out to find the tree.
But someone else found it first. It was found by a logger—a person whose job is to cut down trees. The loggers wanted to cut down Canada’s tallest tree and all the trees around it.
Randy made a path (小路) in the forest in order that people could see the tall tree. The tree was so big and beautiful that even more and more people wanted to save that forest. Thanks to these people, that forest is now a park. Canada’s tallest tree is still there.

Passage 23【2020 •青海省】
Both of my two sons were born in Toronto, but they moved with us to Ottawa when they were quite young. They went to school there, grew up there. Later, one of my sons went to Canada’s east coast near a city called Halifax and the other moved to the west coast to Vancouver. My wife and I were left in the middle.
As we nearly retired (退休), we started to think where we should spend our final years. For several reasons we decided to live on a small town on Vancouver Island, where was close to one of my sons. However, the son moved to Hollywood soon after he had got another job there. I helped him move.
We still lived a happy life in our little west coast town, but we have paid a price. We have not been there for some important events such as the births of our grandchildren. We have missed watching them grow up; we have missed backyard barbecues (烧烤) and basketball weekends with them. Our home, while very comfortable, was also very quiet.
Every fall we travel to see the children. We usually fly, first to California to see our son Scott and spend a week or more with him trying to catch up on everything we’ve missed. Then, usually in November, we make the even longer trip east across Canada to see Travis and our grandchildren, who were about their twenties.
Fortunately, both our sons are doing well and grandchildren are growing up straight and tall. We love all of them and they love us. We’re very happy but there are times I think about the things we didn’t see: the tears or the smile on the granddaughter’s face, their school graduations, my son’s joy at successes in business.
Life has been good for our family but we have all paid a price.

Passage 24【2020•东营市】
It is a hot summer day. Clara is drinking juice in the yard. Her mom is cutting grass with a lawnmower （割草机）. The lawnmower is loud, and Clara wishes her mom would play with her instead. But mom says the grass is very long and has to be cut.
Suddenly, the lawnmower stops. Clara’s mom looks upset. Clara wonders what is wrong. Her mom picks something up out of the grass, and walks to Clara.
Clara’s mom has a little turtle in her hand! As Clara looks closer, she sees that one leg is in bad shape. “I think I broke its leg,” Clara’s mom says. “I’m really sorry. Will you help me nurse it back to health?”
Clara feels bad for the little turtle. Turtles move slowly, so it probably could not run away when it saw the lawnmower coming. And Clara’s mom could not see it in the long grass! It was a mistake, but Clara and her mom will make it right. Clara names the turtle Phillip.
They take Phillip to the vet. The vet takes an X-ray of Phillip’s leg, and makes sure that it is broken. The turtle gets a little splint（夹板）and bandage. The vet tells Clara that the turtle needs plants to eat, water to drink and a place to live in. Clara and her mom buy a small tank （水箱） for Phillip on the way home.
At home, Clara takes good care of Phillip. She puts water and rocks in the tank. She brings him fruit and leaves to eat, and keeps his tank clean.
After eight weeks, Clara and her mom take Phillip back to the vet, who says that his leg is healthy again. Clara is both happy and sad. Happy because Phillip is better, but sad because she has to let him go. When Clara gets home, she feeds Phillip some fruit, kisses his back and says goodbye, then lets him go in the yard.

Passage 26【2020•东营市】
Once upon a time there lived a great storyteller whose stories gave both children and adults a lot of pleasure and enjoyment. He told a story about an emperor who loved new clothes and about a tiny girl who was no taller than a person’s thumb （拇指）.
That storyteller's name was Hans Christian Andersen. He was born in Denmark. He wrote more than 150 stories, which are told in many countries. He became the first author to write and publish his own fairy tales. Andersen grew up poor. His father was a shoemaker, and his mother could hardly read. Andersen once said, “Most of what I have written is a reflection of myself.” His fairy tale, The Ugly Duckling, about a duckling that is laughed by other animals until it grows up to be a swan （天鹅）, was written according to his own experience as a child. His other famous fairy tales include The Little Match Girl, The Daughter of the Sea and The Snow Queen.
Andersen’s fans celebrated the anniversary （周年纪念日） of his 200th birthday in 2005. People are told his fairy tales in many countries. They organized different kinds of celebrations to remind people ofAndersen and Andersen’s fairy tales.
In Denmark, 15-foot-tall puppets（木偶）danced in mid-air every night from May until September. In Singapore, the post office published a series （系列） of Andersen stamps. And in Egypt, the library in Alexandria showed Andersen's books, which were translated into 150 languages! In New York City’s Central Park, storyteller Ellen Shapiro told The Real Princess to a crowd of children.
“Andersen's stories have everything,” Shapiro told the reporter. “They are funny and sad and enjoyable. I never get tired of them. ”
Storytellers such as Shapiro love continuing Andersen’s tradition. Shapiro doesn’t memorize her favorite stories, however. Instead, she learns what happens at the beginning, middle, and end. She changes the words of a story to fit the listeners. So no two tellings of a story are exactly alike.

We had a very different math teacher in Sec 3. He was Mr. Hu. He was cheerful and friendly. When he entered the room, somebody would ask him how a camera worked. Then he spent the rest of the lesson explaining how something worked. He drew diagrams on the board and sometimes one of us asked another question to keep him talking.

Passage 37【2020 •河南省】
"Are you listening, Simon?" Simon's teacher asked. It was a pretty usual question.
Simon shook his head, smiling. He hardly listened or tried hard in class. Talking was so much fun. He wanted to be heard rather than listen.
"Listen, and you'll learn something." Mrs. Jacobs tried every day, but Simon never paid attention.
That evening, his throat really hurt. The next morning, when he opened his mouth to say "Good morning", nothing came out but a croak.
Simon's mother looked at him. "Honey, you've lost your voice."
"Can I stay home?" He tried to ask, but words didn't come out. Instead, his mother checked him for a fever and decided it was good for him to go to school, even if he couldn't talk.
When he got to school, Mrs. Jacobs said "Hello" to him, and he just nodded. When his friends asked him what TV shows he watched last night, he just shrugged. By the time the bell rang for class, almost everyone was looking at him as if he'd grown a third eye.
Penny raised her hand. "Mrs. Jacobs, why isn't Simon talking?"
"He never stops talking." Richard said worriedly.
Everyone started talking at once. They were excited, worried, and surprised.
Simon sat in class bored. He watched them talk to each other as if the teacher wasn't there, but he couldn't even do that. In math class he could hold up fingers if the answer was less than 10, but that wasn't fun. He decided to try to pay attention.
He could do his homework that night. It gave him TV and game time with his work all done.
The next day, even though his voice was coming back, he stayed quiet again. The third day, he could talk fine, but he listened and raised his hand to speak.
What a difference that one day made!

Passage38【2020 •河南省】
Cait, 11, was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother, Doug, came into her room. He looked around, but seemed really out of it. Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the light. This was really strange. Cait didn’t know what to do. Just then, Cait’s father appeared and explained Doug was sleepwalking.
Not all sleep is the same every night. We experience some deep, quiet sleep and some active sleep, which is when dreams happen. You might think sleepwalking would happen during active sleep but a person isn’t physically active during active sleep. It usually happens in the first few hours of sleep in the period called deep sleep.
The truth is that not all sleepwalkers walk. Some simply sit up or stand in bed or act like they’re awake when, in fact, they’re asleep! Most, however, do get up and walk around for a few seconds or for as long as half an hour.
Sleepwalkers’ eyes are open, but they don’t see the same way they do when they’re awake. They tend to go back to bed on their own and won’t remember it in the morning.
You also might have heard that sleepwalkers can get frightened if you wake them up. That’s true, so what do you do if you see someone sleepwalking? You should call for a grown-up who can lead the person back to bed. And once the sleepwalker is tucked back in bed, it’s time for you to get some sleep, too!

tend 倾向于
frightened 受惊的

文章讲述了晚上梦游的事情，同时指出了梦游发生的时间和表现，如果遇到梦游的人，要找一个成年人带梦游的人回去睡觉。
11．A【解析】词意猜测题。根据下文中“Cait’s father appeared and explained Doug was sleepwalking. Sleepwalkers’ eyes are open, but they don’t see the same way they do when they’re awake.”可知，道格正在梦游，梦游者的眼睛是睁开的，但与他们醒着的时候看东西的方式不同，所以虽然道格环顾四周，但是他毕竟是在梦游，此处划线部分out of it的意思是“茫然不觉”，表示“他看东西的方式和醒着的时候不一样”。故选A。
12．B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中“It usually happens in the first few hours of sleep in the period called deep sleep.”可知，梦游通常发生在睡眠的最初几个小时。故选B。
13．C【解析】主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Some simply sit up or stand in bed or act like they’re awake when, in fact, they’re asleep! Most, however, do get up and walk around for a few seconds or for as long as half an hour.”和第四段中“Sleepwalkers’ eyes are open, but they don’t see the same way they do when they’re awake.”可知，这两段介绍了梦游者会做什么，有些人只是坐起来，或者站在床上，或者表现得好像他们是醒着的，大多数人都会站起来走动几秒钟，或者长达半个小时。故选C。
14．D【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“You should call for a grown-up who can lead the person back to bed.”可知，如果你看到有人在梦游，你应该找个成年人带他回去睡觉。故选D。
15．D【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中,作者提到的如何应对梦游“You should call for a grown-up who can lead the person back to bed.”你应该找一个成年人把梦游的人领回到床上，因此可知这里的“you”指的是孩子，因为需要找一个成年人，所以这篇文章是给孩子们写的。故选D。
Passage 39【2020 •内蒙古包头市】
On a windy day in June, Fourth Class took the train to Chinatown. We had begun to learn Putonghua and our teacher said this excursion would let us practice our language skills and learn more about Chinese culture.
We entered Chinatown through the arched (拱形的) entrance gate with red painted wooden pillars (柱子) . Big stone lions sat on each side. Then I noticed that the street signs were written in both Chinese and English. I photographed the sign for Hay Street.
The next place we visited was the Chinese Garden of Friendship which was very peaceful. There were waterfalls, hidden stone paths and a beautiful teahouse. We had a wonderful time there.
At last it was time for our Chinese lunch. We entered a big restaurant that had red lanterns hanging from the roof and red dragons on the walls. The waiters greeted us in Putonghua and we answered them in Putonghua. We were shown how to use chopsticks and how to choose from the menus with Chinese writing.
At 2:30 we left Chinatown. We were all very tired. On the train, our teacher told us her experience in China. She was just back from seeing the Great Wall of China. It's like a long dragon winding its way. We were told it is the longest wall in the world. As we were listening, one student, who I couldn't name, fell asleep on the train and snored loudly. His face turned red when he woke up!
In the past, I often told my Chinese classmates how to speak English .Now there are more people than ever who are studying Chinese. I can understand why—it's a fascinating language, and there are always new words to be discovered! I cannot forget our excursion to Chinatown. Tom Green, Fourth Class

Passage 40【2020 •内蒙古包头市】
Last week, some German parents who took their kids out of school early were stopped by the police at the airport. The police were making reports on students who didn't have permission (许可) to miss school.
Like many places, it is against the law to skip (不参加) school in Germany. Children over the age of 9 can't miss classes without permission from the school. But during busy travel time, some parents take their children out of school early to save money on vacations. People can often save a lot of money on flights and hotels by going at a different time than others.
Last weekend was the beginning of an important holiday period in Germany. People in charge of the schools asked the police to check and make sure that students weren't leaving for vacations before they were allowed to.
Police officers at three German airports looked for families with school-aged children. When they found them, the police pulled the families out of lines to talk with them. They wanted to find out if the parents had permission for the children to be out of school. If the children did not have permission, the police reported the families to their schools and to the government. In all, the police reported about 20 families.
These families will have two weeks to show that it was okay for their children to miss school. If they can't, they may have to pay as much as $1,200 as a fine (罚款), or receive some other punishment.
Germany is not the only place where parents have to pay fines if their children miss school. Many other countries and many of the states in the U.S. have similar laws.
The good news is that the families were allowed to go on vacation after they talked to the police. But they might have a big bill waiting for them when they get back.
38．Why do some German parents take their children out of school early during busy travel times?
A．They can spend more time with their children.
B．Their children will study by themselves.
C．They want to save money.
D．Their children can take online courses.
39．In Paragraph 4, police officers at three German airports wanted to ______.
A．find students who skipped school without permission
B．give punishment to the students there
C．take students back to school
D．wait for school managers
40．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Laws on Vacations in Germany B．Give Your Family a Perfect Vacation
C．Don't Skip School in Germany D．Punishment Goes to Families
41．Where does this text probably come from?
A．A newspaper. B．A science report. C．A travel guide. D．A textbook.
文章大意：在德国逃学是违法的，但是在繁忙的旅行时间，一些父母提前带孩子离开学校，以节省度假的钱。德国并不是唯一一个因为孩子缺课而被罚款的国家。许多其他国家和美国的许多州也有类似的法律。
38．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第2段中“But during busy travel time, some parents take their children out of school early to save money on vacations. ”可知一些德国父母会在繁忙的旅行时间早早地让孩子离开学校是为了节省钱。故选C。

40．C【解析】标题归纳题。根据第2段中“Like many places, it is against the law to skip (不参加) school in Germany. ”及全文内容可知本文主要讲在德国逃课是违法的，用“Don't Skip School in Germany”做标题最合适。故选C。
41．A【解析】推理判断题。第一段讲上周一些德国父母提前带孩子离校在机场被警方挡了下来，警察正在上报未获允许缺课的学生，文章以此为切入点讲在德国逃课是违法的，由此可推出这是一篇新闻报道，可能出现在报纸上。故选A。
Passage 41【2020 •四川攀枝花】
Five years ago, when my father was dying. I travelled a thousand miles from my home to be with him in his last days. I felt very sad and it was one of the most difficult and painful times in my life. After he passed away, I stayed alone in his apartment. There were so many things to deal with. I was lonely and I hated the silence of the apartment.
But one evening the silence was broken: I heard crying outside. I opened the door and found a little cat on the floor. He was thin and poor. I brought him inside and gave him a can of fish. He ate it and then soon fell asleep.
The next morning I asked the neighbors and learned that the cat had been left by his owner. His owner had moved away, so the little cat was there all alone, just like I was. As I walked back to the apartment, I tried to work out what to do with him. I had something else to do, so taking care of the cat seemed like the very last thing I could do. But as soon as I opened the door, he ran to me and lay by my feet. It was clear from that moment that he didn't want to go anywhere. I started calling him Willis in order to remember my father's best friend.
From then on, things grew easier. With Willis, time seemed to pass much faster. When the time finally came for me to return my home, I had to decide what to do about Willis. There was no way I would leave without him.
It's been five years since my father died. Over the years, several people have said I was so nice to save the cat. But I know that we saved each other. I may have given him a home but he gave me something greater.

Want to make a difference in your community? Becoming a zero waste volunteer is the way to go!
Join a community garden
So many people don't know where their food comes from. Growing food by yourselves teaches you the true value of food. What's more, there is no need to pack the food you grow in the garden. Offer your time to help support a garden in your neighborhood. You'll get to meet all kinds of people there, and possibly begin a conversation about zero waste lifestyle.
Lead or join a neighborhood clean-up
Usually, litter left unattended (无人看管的) will pollute our water systems. Even worse, any litter (in the ocean or on the ground) can be eaten by animals. This causes them to die of hunger slowly and painfully. Getting a group together to pick up trash (垃圾) around the neighborhood is a great way to combat this problem.
___________________
Going to a town hall meeting is a great idea. Because you can see and hear the problems in your community. Besides, you may even be able to speak at a town hall meeting as a guest speaker telling other people about zero waste lifestyle.
Organize a zero waste meeting
It's so important to have a support group filled with people who also love zero waste lifestyle. Although online community is great, it cannot compare to real life support groups. If you want to gather people in your neighborhood to talk all things about zero waste, consider organizing a meeting. Just choose a place to meet (a local cafe works well), choose a date and time, and put up a notice on the Internet. You'll get surprises!
46．If a person joins a community garden, he or she can_____________.
①teach himself or herself the true value of food by growing food

A number of years ago, a man went to visit a circus(马 戏 团 )in New York. He was able to walk around looking at the lions, monkeys, bears and other circus animals. As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn't try to get away. "Well,” the trainer said, "when they are very young and much smaller, we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they can not break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”
“How could it be?" said the man. These animals could at any time break free from ropes. But because they were always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn't.
Just like the poor elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we can not do something, just because we failed at it once before?
Failing is part of learning.

Passage 53【2020•武汉市】
When people discover that I work as a film and TV extra (临时演员), they always ask me the same questions: Emily, is it easy to get work? Isn't it boring? Do you get to meet famous actors? Does it pay well? My answers are pretty standard as well: Yes, sometimes, once in a while, and… kind of. The life of an extra is both more interesting and more boring than you might imagine.
Extras, who play the people in crowds, on streets, or in the background of indoors scenes, can come from all walks of life. Unlike many extras, I'm a trained actor. I do get real speaking roles, but work can be hard to come by if you're not a popular star. I'm registered (注册) with an agency that deals only with extras, so I get calls all the time. The agency explains who I'll be someone in a crowd, a member of a jury, a clerk and tells me where to go. Call time is usually bright and early, so I try to get to bed at a reasonable hour.
Sometimes being an extra is a "hurry up and wait" job. In my first extra role, I was one of a group of office workers who come out of a building just as a car explodes (爆炸) in the street. We waited for hours for the scene to be shot, and then went in and out of the building about fifty times, trying to act terrified by an explosion which was not real. Then we had lunch, changed clothes, and spent the afternoons as customers in a department store.
It may sound like I don’t enjoy the work, but I do. Being part of the background in a convincing (令人信服的) way is challenging, and being on a film or TV set is always fascinating. A lot of famous actors don't even notice the extras, but the ones who do make the job a lot of fun for everyone. As for the money, it's nothing compared to what the big actors make, but it pretty much pays the bills. And, as a bonus, I've beaten my high scores on all my phone games, thanks to all the time I spend sitting around, waiting for something to happen.
41. Emily gives standard answers because ______.
A. she is proud of her job B. she wants to hide her feelings
C. she thinks it's unnecessary to explain D. they are the exact answers to the questions
42. What does Emily think of her job?
A. Busy. B. Enjoyable. C. Fashionable. D. Easy.
43. In line 21, another way to say as a bonus would be ______.
A. above expectation B. as a result C. in general D. after all
44. According to the passage, _____.
A. the famous actors look down upon the extras
B. being an extra is always a "hurry up and wait" job
C. Emily tells the truth about being a film and TV extra
D. those who want to be film or TV extras must be trained
45. We can infer that Emily ______.
A. often pays the bills for others
B. sometimes has to get up very early
C. has beaten all the phone game players
D. was in face of danger in her first extra role
文章大意：本文作者Emily讲述了自己做临时演员的一些真实情况及感悟。
41.C【解析】推理判断题。根据上文they always ask me the same questions: Emily, is it easy to get work? Isn't it boring? Do you get to meet famous actors? Does it pay well? 他们总是问我同样的问题: Emily，找工作容易吗?是不是很无聊?你能见到著名的演员吗?薪水高吗?以及My answers are pretty standard as well: Yes, sometimes, once in a while, and… kind of. 我的回答也很标准:是的，有时候，偶尔，有点。由此可以推知，人们总是问作者同样的问题，所以作者感觉没有必要总是去解释，因此就给出了标准的回答，故答案选C。
42.B【解析】细节理解题。根据The life of an extra is both more interesting and more boring than you might imagine.以及It may sound like I don’ t enjoy the work, but I do.可知，Emily觉得她的工作很有趣，她很喜欢，故答案选B。
43.A【解析】词句猜测题。根据上文As for the money, it's nothing compared to what the big actors make, but it pretty much pays the bills. 至于钱，与大演员的收入相比，这算不了什么，但它几乎可以支付账单。以及下文I've beaten my high scores on all my phone games, thanks to all the time I spend sitting around, waiting for something to happen. 我在所有的手机游戏中都取得了高分，这多亏了我整天坐着等待着什么事情发生。可知这里as a bonus意思是说“额外的红利、额外令人高兴的事情”，结合选项，可知A选项above expectation“超出预期”与之意思相近，故答案选A。
44.C【解析】推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文作者Emily讲述了自己做临时演员的一些真实情况及感悟。结合选项，可知C选项“艾米丽讲述了她在电影和电视上做临时演员的真相。”符合题意，故答案选C。
45.B【解析】推理判断题。根据Call time is usually bright and early, so I try to get to bed at a reasonable hour. 打电话的时间通常是大清早，所以我尽量在合理的时间上床睡觉。由此可以推知，Emily有时不得不起得很早，所以B选项符合题意，故答案选B。

Passage 55【2020•襄阳市】
My husband Shane and I were hanging out on the street one evening. I was talking but he was looking over at someone.
He walked over to a young girl who was crying. As he talked to her I could see from his body language that he was trying to calm（使平静） her down. When I joined them, I realized that she had been homeless for some time. She told Shane that all she wanted was to go to her sister’s house in another city.
Some people would have handed her some money, wished her lunch or maybe allowed her to make a call. Shane did much more. He said, "Kelly, I can’t leave her here like this. Sometimes people need someone not only to help them but to believe they’re telling the truth.”
It was a bit cold, so we had an idea to take her home. When I asked her if she’d like to go home with us, she thanked me about a million times with tears in her eyes.
We went home and I gave her some clean clothes to wear and told her she could use the shower. We ate something. Finally, she told us her story.
In the morning she was finally able to get a hold of her sister, so she had a place to go. Shane drove her to the bus station and bought her a ticket.

Passage 62【2020•湖南省永州市】


Malala was born in Pakistan on July 12, 1997. When she was young, Taliban fighters took over her hometown. Taliban is an extremist(极端主义) group that does not believe in a girl's right to education. They said girls should not be allowed to go to school. Malala thought that girls have the right to an education. In 2008, she spoke out against the Taliban. The Taliban tried to silence her.
In 2012, Taliban fighters shot Malala on her way home from school. She had to fly to England for medical treatment(治疗). She stayed in England to continue her education. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, when she was 17. This makes her the youngest Nobel winner in history.
Malala started attending Oxford in 2017. At the age of 22, she graduated from Oxford University, in England. Malala posted photos of her celebration on Twitter. One showed her with her family. The other was taken after her “trashing”. Trashing is an Oxford tradition after students complete their final exams.
“Hard to express my joy and thanks right now as I completed my degree at Oxford,” she wrote. Congratulatory messages poured in from around the world.

Passage 63【2020•徐州市】
At the doctor’s office
Wilson is a foreign student in Britain. He is learning English there. He still has some trouble using the language.
Doctor: Good morning. You’re a new patient, I think. What’s the trouble?
Wilson: Sometimes I feel cold and sometimes hot. I have a headache and a stomachache.
Doctor: Yes, you look a bit off-colour.
Wilson: What colour, please?
Doctor: Sorry, what I said was “off-colour”. We use it to describe how people look or feel when they are unwell. Let me take your temperature. When did this start?
Wilson: I felt very tired last night when I went to bed. Then I felt really bad this morning when I woke up.
Doctor: I see. Now, let’s look at your temperature. Ah, just as I thought, a hundred and one.
Wilson: Oh, a hundred and one? So high?
Doctor: Ah, yes, that must sound strange to you. We measure people’s temperature on the Fahrenheit scale（华氏）. In centigrade, your temperature is 39℃, which is a bit high, but not exactly boiling point（沸点）.
Wilson: Oh, it isn’t very bad, then.
Doctor: No, it isn’t serious. You’ve got a cold. I’ll give you some medicine. You’d better stay at home in the warm for a day or two and drink plenty of water.
Wilson: Thank you very much, doctor. I’m feeling better already. It wasn’t so difficult telling you about my illness.
Doctor: No, language doesn’t matter too much to a doctor. After all, vets manage without language at all.
Wilson: Please, what is a “vets”?
Doctor: Animal doctors. Now I must end this English lesson and see my next patient.
34. Which word has the same meaning as the underlined word “off-colour”?
A. tired B. lazy C. sick D. stressed
35. What do we know about Wilson?

A. Impatient. B. Strict. C. Humorous. D. Curious.

34.C【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段“Sorry, what I said was 'off-colour'. We use it to describe how people look or feel when they are unwell”可知，医生通常用“精神不好”来形容人们不舒服时候的样子或感觉，故C选项“生病的”与划线部分是同一个意思。故选C。
35.B【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第五段“You’ve got a cold”可知，威尔逊已经得了感冒。故选B。
36.C【解析】推理判断题。根据最后三段“After all, vets manage without language at all. Wilson: Please, what is a 'vets'? Doctor: Animal doctors. Now I must end this English lesson and see my next patient.”可知，医生对言语不通的威尔逊开了个玩笑，把威尔逊看病的过程表示为“上英语课”，由此可见，这个医生是一个幽默的人。故选C。

“No, Dad. You don’t understand. I really, really, really want a mobile phone.” “And I really, really, really want a boat. It’s not going to happen.”
Lisa and her dad were stuck in traffic. It seemed that it’s always the case. When he took her to school in the morning — traffic. When he picked her up in the afternoon — traffic. Go to the supermarket, a birthday party, and what felt like ten hours of traffic was what they got.
Lisa was bored. When she was bored, she wanted things. Right now, she wanted a mobile phone. She wasn’t sure if her dad understood that. She would have to tell him again.
“I WANT A MOBILE PHONE.” “NO.”
“What if I got stuck in a cave?”
“What?” asked her dad, trying not to laugh.
“What if I had a dog and the dog ran away, and I had to run after it. What if the dog ran into a cave, and I ran after the dog. In the cave there was a bear, and the bear trapped me, and …”
“And then you were stuck in the cave.”
“Yes. It’s a mother bear. She will eat me unless I have a mobile phone to call for help.”
“If it’s a mother bear, you can use her phone. Everyone knows mums always carry phones.” Dad was laughing as he said this. Lisa didn’t think it was very funny. Now she was angry. “If I had a mobile phone, I could play games on it!”
“If I had a boat, I could eat beef on it. That doesn’t mean I’m getting one.”
“No, but I mean if I could play games, I wouldn’t be so bored when we were in traffic. I wouldn’t trouble you!”
“I don’t mind being troubled. I like talking to you.” “Then I won’t say anything at all!”
Dad smiled quietly to himself. “I’m going to call Mum to let her know we’ll be late.” He reached into his pocket. “Oh! My battery’s dead.”
“You know…if I had a mobile phone, I could call Mum,” said Lisa. “Nice try.”
Lisa smiled. She wasn’t getting a phone, but she knew she was right, and that was almost as good.
37. What happened to Lisa and her dad?
A. They lost their way. B. Their car broke down.
C. They were stuck in traffic. D. They couldn’t find their dog.

D. She failed in making Dad buy her a mobile phone.

A. Calm. B. Worried. C. Excited. D. Bored.
本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了丽莎和爸爸在堵车期间，向爸爸要求买一部新手机故事。
37.C【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“Lisa and her dad were stuck in traffic”可知，丽莎和爸爸遇上了交通堵塞。故选C。
38.D【解析】细节理解题。根据第六至十段“What if I got stuck in a cave…Yes. It’s a mother bear. She will eat me unless I have a mobile phone to call for help”可知，丽莎和爸爸说如果自己被困在洞穴里，除非她能有一部手机求救，否则母熊会吃掉她，故她和爸爸谈论自己被困在洞穴，是在论述拥有一部手机的必要性。故选D。
39.B【解析】推理判断题。根据前文“If I had a boat, I could eat beef on it. That doesn’t mean I’m getting one”可知，丽莎对爸爸说，如果我有船，我可以在船上吃牛肉，这并不意味着我会得到一条船，故划线部分的one指代的是前文中提到的“一条船”。故选B。
40.B【解析】细节理解题。根据第十一段“Dad was laughing as he said this. Lisa didn’t think it was very funny. Now she was angry”及全文内容可知，丽莎因为爸爸总是打趣她，并且不想给她买一部手机而生气，“回家晚”并不是她生气的原因，故选B。
41.A【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Lisa smiled. She wasn’t getting a phone, but she knew she was right, and that was almost as good”可知，丽莎笑了，虽然她没有得到一部手机，但她知道她是对的，这几乎是一样好的，由此可知丽莎由之前堵车时向爸爸索要手机的无聊、生气，到最后变得平静。故选A。

“This is John,” said Mr Turner. The boy standing next to him was tall, with a friendly face. I noticed Adam and Chen give each other the thumbs (大拇指) up. That meant they were going to invite him to join the cool group. They smiled at him and he smiled back.
Mr Turner always gave new students a buddy with the same hobbies as them. I was sure he wouldn’t choose me. I wasn’t one of the cool kids.
“Hyun, I want you to be John’s buddy this term,” said Mr Turner. Me? I couldn’t believe my ears! Everyone in the class looked in my direction. Adam and Chen even looked unhappy.
John walked over to my desk and sat down beside me. He smiled at me. “Hello,” he said in a confident voice.
“Hello,” I replied, not looking at him.
All morning I could feel the boys in the cool group looking angrily at me, but John didn’t seem to notice.
Finally the bell rang for a break. I had butterflies in my stomach. I knew that Adam and Chen were going to make fun of me in front of John, and that John would decide that he’d rather be buddies with them.
Sure enough, as soon as we got outside, Adam and Chen swaggered (大摇大摆地走) up to us.
“Mr Turner says you’re a good basketball player, John,” said Adam.“How’d you like to play with us at lunch break? Hyun doesn’t know anything about basketball."
“No thanks,” said John.“I’d rather play chess with Hyun, if he doesn’t mind. Mr Turner says he’s an excellent player.”
I was walking on air as John and I crossed the playground. I remembered the saying we learnt in class about not judging (判断) a book by its cover. I completely misjudged John.

I remember a time I went shopping on my first visit to Hongkong. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt. Not having many chances to enjoy the sun in the UK, my legs were very white. In the UK, this is not a fashionable look at all. Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin. The darker the skin is, the better the look is. I have tried to get darker but nothing works for me!
As I walked around one shop, two shop girls didn’t take their eyes off me the whole time, talking quietly to each other in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave. After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong. I complained（抱怨） about the shop girls being very rude and always looking at my legs. I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin. My friend laughed, “they weren’t laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours. In fact, there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin white and a lot of money is spent on them."
It just goes to show that we are never happy with what we have. The grass is always greener on other side. If the woman of the west and east thought the same way, western women wouldn’t spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the east wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter.
39. The writer had white legs because __________.
A. She spent so much money on her legs
B. She lived in a cold and cloudy country
C. She wanted them to be white

I had the meanest（最刻薄的）mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal（谷类食物）and eggs. When others had Coke and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least I wasn't alone. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.

We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day. The other kids got to wear the same clothes days.

Through the years, things didn't improve a bit. We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did in order to miss school.
My mother was the meanest mother. Out of four children, a couple of us went on to higher education. None of us have ever done bad things. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest people.

It was last January, when I’d just finished a charity(慈善) and was on the train back home, that I put down my phone and started writing thank-you notes to people who had helped.
When I got off the train, I felt amazingly good. The next day, I wrote more thank-yous and the same feeling of happiness hit me again. I suddenly had the idea: Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year?
To keep on task, I decided to pick out a different theme for each month. January was charity.
February would be neighbors, I decided. And I thought of a number of names right away: the owner of our local bookstore, who let me and my little son in before the store opened and offered to play his favorite songs; our babysitter, who dropped off a bag of old board games for our kids to play; …
While writing the notes, I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone moving from app to app, appreciating(欣赏) other people’s lives. Writing thank-you notes allowed me the time to do something different, paying more attention to my own life.
In the following months, I wrote to my friends, doctors, teachers and parenting role models. In July, my “food” month, I wrote to Julie, who used to cook at my favorite restaurant. It went like this:
Dear Julie,
I’ve been finding myself missing you lately. Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful and thoughtful food. Jake and I will never forget when you sent out biscuits shaped into the number VI for our sixth anniversary (周年纪念日）. We talk about it every year.
Thank you. We miss you.
Love,
Gina
I was happy to receive a note back from her. Julie replied, “I don’t think I’ve ever received such a touching letter before. I’m going through a hard time right now, and this helps.”
On December 31, I wrote my last card — to Jake, my husband, and our two kids. And I took a picture of us, so I could remember the feeling welling up inside me. Gratitude.
36. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A. writing thank-you notes B. putting the phone away
C taking the train back home D. raising money for charity
37. How did Julie most probably feel after reading the note from Gina?
A Shy and surprised. B. Pleased and relaxed.
C. Nervous and excited. D. Moved and encouraged.
38. The theme of the December notes might be “________”.
A. photos B. family C. holidays D. community
39. What did Gina get by doing her task according to the passage?
A. Many thanks from her neighbors. B. More time to appreciate her own life.
C. More help from people around her. D. Happy moments to be with her friends.
40. The best title for the passage can be ________.
A. My Thank You Year B. An Amazing Trip
C. Happiness inside Us D. Important People in Our Life

It's late evening in the middle of the winter. The snow is deep, but off I go into the wild.
Suddenly I hear it: the howl（嚎叫)of wolves. Excitedly, I walk faster in the direction of the howling.
I've been working as a volunteer wolf tracker in Yellowstone National Park for over a year It's my job to follow wolves to record information about them. Like wolves, however, I don't work alone. I'm one of a team of people who have been in a project to help reintroduce wolves to the park.
Humans have always feared wolves. From fairy tales to movies, the wolf is always the bad guy —a danger to humans and other animals. In the 1920s, the organizers of the park shared this view about wolves and made the decision to drive them away from the park. As a result, the number of elk （麋鹿）in the park increased. The elk started looking for food near river banks since they didn't have to worry about wolves. This, in turn, stopped trees from growing along the rivers, doing great harm to the environment there.
The return of wolves has already made a big difference. To begin with, the elk soon learned to stay away from the rivers, so new trees have been able to grow there. The trees become home to new wildlife, such as birds, and provide food for more animals.
The park is now becoming more and more popular with those who want to see wolves in their natural environment. It has also helped the local people make more money. Tourists visit the area, stay in the local hotels, and eat in the local restaurants.
Looking at the wild animals and the beautiful sceneries around me, I am amazed at the changes the wolf has made to Yellowstone. And happily, it is playing a good guy in this story.
28. According to the passage, one of a wolf tracker’s jobs is to________.
A. catch wolves in the park B. feed wolves in the wild
C. stop wolves from killing elk D. collect information about wolves
29. Why did the organizers drive the wolves away from the park in the 1920s?
A. The wolves were always howling at night.
B. The elk in the park were in danger of dying out.
C. The wolves had done great harm to the environment.
D. The park was thought to be unsafe with wolves around.
30. Paragraphs 4 and 5 are mainly about the _______ that wolves have brought to Yellowstone.
A. risks B. troubles C. changes D. competitions
31. What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A. Wolves are important to Yellowstone. B. Yellowstone has been home to wolves.
C. The wolf and the elk live in peace now. D. The number of wolves is growing fast.

30.C【解析】段落大意题。A：风险；B：问题；C：改变；D：比赛。分析第四、五两段内容可知，之前狼被认为是危险的，但是狼的回归已经造成了很大的不同，狼相对而言减少了麋鹿的数量，这样树木就可以生长，也能为其他动物提供食物，此处强调“变化、改变”。故选C。
31.A【解析】推理判断题。A：狼对黄石公园很重要。B：黄石公园一直是狼群的家园。C：狼和麋鹿现在和平相处。D：狼的数量正在快速增长。分析本段内容可知，之前狼一直被认为是坏的，但是这次它在这个故事中扮演了一个“好人”，作者想要强调狼对黄石公园造成的好的影响，对黄石公园的重要性。故选A。

细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的送分题。但由于中考所占的比例很大，应特别引起注意。
事实和细节题的命题特点是：把某词语、某个句子或某具体事实用不同于原文的另一方式或句型表达，即同义改写。解答这类题的窍门是：A)注意掌握英语的多种表达法；B）正确分析词语在句中的作用；C）熟练运用英语的句型转换；D）读懂题干所提出的问题，并准确地找到文中涉及该问题的句子。
做细节题具体方法与步骤如下：
j 略读材料,大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。
k 按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词，如for example，first，second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。
l 将自己精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上，快速通篇跳读，眼睛自左至右，自上而下呈Z形扫视，直到找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。

One day, a man saw an old lady sitting inside her car at the side of the road. Though it was dark, he could see she needed help. So he stopped his car and walked towards her. The old lady was worried, even though she noticed the smile on his face. Was he going to hurt her? ＂I’ll help you start your car, madam. By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson, ＂ he said.
While Anderson was fitting a spare tired(备胎) to her car, the lady began to talk to him. She thanked him much for coming to help.
Anderson just smiled as he put his tools away. The lady asked how much she should pay him. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give them the help they needed. He waited until she started her car and drove off.
A few miles down the road, the lady saw a small restaurant. She went in and a waitress came over with a sweet smile. The old lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant(怀孕的), but she never let the pains and aches change her smile when she served her.
The lady finished her meal and paid with a hundred-dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change, but the old lady was gone when the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she found there was a note on the napkin(餐巾), ＂You don’t need to give me anything back. Somebody once helped me out the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do—do not let this chain(链子) of love end with you.＂
Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了爱的传递的两个小故事，一个男人看见一个女士陷入了难题，便停车为她解决了这个问题，他对女士说：如果想报答我，就去帮助别人吧。女士在经过一家餐厅时，看见怀孕的女服务员很辛苦，就偷偷地给了这位服务员一些钱。
31. B【解析】推理判断题。根据文中的信息The old lady was worried, even though she noticed the smile on his face. Was he going to hurt her?这位老妇人担心Anderson会伤害她，可推知她可能很紧张，所以Anderson告诉她自己的名字，为的是使这位老妇人放轻松，故答案选B。
32. B【解析】词义猜测题。根据上文the next time she saw someone who needed help,下次她看到有人需要帮助时，结合本句she could give them the help they needed.她可以给予他们需要的帮助；由此可知they是指上文提到的那些需要帮助的人，故答案选B。
33. A【解析】理解排序题。通读全文可知，首先是老妇人的车坏在了路上，她感到很无助（Helpless）；Anderson路过想帮助她，但她担心（Worried）Anderson会伤害她；Anderson告诉她自己的名字，并帮助了她，老妇人想给他钱感谢（Thankful）他；老妇人在一个餐馆里帮助了一个孕妇，（说明她乐于助人Willing and ready to help）；最后从老妇人给孕妇留的字条上可以看出，老妇人感到很幸福（Happy），因为她让爱的链条得到了延续。结合选项可知A选项符合题意，故答案选A。
34. D【解析】理解判断题。通读全文可知，Anderson帮助一个年纪大的女士，并告诉他自己不需要感谢，只希望她把帮助别人这个好习惯传递下去，然后这位年纪大的女士又帮助了一位孕妇服务员，同样她希望这位孕妇服务员也把帮助别人这个好习惯传递下去；由此可推知，这位孕妇服务员以后可能会帮助别人，故答案选D。
35. A【解析】标题归纳题。根据文中的信息Somebody once helped me out the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do—do not let this chain(链子) of love end with you. 有人也这样帮助了我，你也可以这样做，不要让这条爱之链随着你而结束。所以应该是帮助他人，传递爱心。结合选项A. The Help of Strangers陌生人的帮助；B. The Power of Smile微笑的力量；C. The China of Love爱的中国；D. The Bill of Kindness仁慈的比尔；可知A选项符合题意，故答案选A。

When I was young, I lived in Scotland with my parents. I had a good time there.
One morning, I ran to the garden, and said to the old Scotsman who worked there. ＂Today I am going up the mountain for berries. ＂
＂No, no, Missey, not today. ＂ he said , ＂It will rain. ＂
＂No, it will not rain. ＂ I said, ＂The sun is up. The cook says it will be fine. The glass in the hall does not say rain. ＂
＂Tuts, tuts. ＂ said the old man, ＂I care for no suns, or cooks, or glasses. The pimpernel (海绿) says it will rain, and so it will rain. Flowers, Missey, always tell the truth. When they say rain, go and get your umbrella.＂
Sure enough, by noon the rain was pouring down. After that, I looked with great respect at the tiny flower, sometimes brickred, sometimes blue, which could tell about the weather. But the pimpernel is not the only plant that is a weather prophet.
If you go into the garden, and find the African marigolds shut after seven o’clock in the morning, you may be pretty sure that there will be a rainy day. There is a little single marigold which shuts up in a hurry if the sky becomes clouded. It is called the ＂rainy-marigold＂.
Most plants which we call ＂weather prophets＂ shut up for rain. But some plants open for rain. The cause of the opening and closing is probably the difference in light. Most likely these plants shut their flowers because there is too little light.
But you know there are some plants which become smaller in a strong light and love the shade. You will find that most shade-loving plants, as the verbenas, do not close for rain.
Lilies, tulips and other flowers that love the sun shut for rain. Tulips are careful not to open their cups very wide in the morning if it is likely to rain. The roses make no change. They seem not to fear wet.
On the whole, you may be pretty sure, if you go into your garden, and find many flowers-as tulips, marigolds and morning glories-shut, it will be a stormy day, unfit for picnics or long walks.
36. The plants which are ＂weather prophets＂ .
A. become smaller in a strong light B. tell about the weather
C. open for rain and fear light D. love shade and wet
37. You can go out for a picnic when .
A. the morning glories and lilies do not shut
B. the African marigolds shut after 7:00 a. m.
C. die pimpernels open wide in the daytime
D. the roses and tulips shut in the sunshine
38. What do we know from the passage?
A. The flowers have four ways to help people to get information about weather.
B. The glass in the hall has magic for the writer’s family to know about weather.
C. We can know about weather by keeping many roses at home or in the garden.
D. Missey will probably know about weather by watching flowers from now on.
39. The passage is mainly about .
A. watching flowers carefully before going out
B. learning to watch flowers from the old Scotsman
C. the importance of growing flowers in the garden
D. the relationship between some flowers and weather

They will come the first day and they see the scarecrow, and they go back. But the second day, they’ll come and they say, this thing is not moving here, it is always here!

Imagine a world with no more animals: no elephants, no tigers or lions. To some people, that thought is too terrible for words. So they are doing something about it. Tiffany Soechting is one of them.
Being among wild animals—feeding them and caring for them—is all Tiffany Soechting has wanted to do with her life. And that is exactly what she does!
Soechting is the human ＂mother＂ to the 500 animals that live on her family wildlife farm in San Antonio, Texas. On the farm, she cares for animals from around the world. Soechting says she loves them all. However, two reticulated giraffes(网纹长颈鹿) take up a special place in her heart. Their population in the wild has become smaller by 80% in the last 15 years. ＂I’m so glad to get help from five wildlife researchers that took giraffes up to a higher level. All our hard work helps protect giraffes living in the wild.＂
Besides her animal caring, Soechting also holds monthly classes, where she teaches school children about the animals.
Soechting also opens the farm to the public. Visitors not only learn about the animals, they can also get close to them. And the animals are not against that. For them, people are part of their natural environment.

On March 19，2019， eight-year-old Tani won the New York Championship(纽约象棋冠军赛) of his age group. But the boy, who was homeless at the time, began learning the game less than a year ago.
Tani and his family arrived in New York City from Africa in 2017. A church helped him enter the primary school, P. S. 116. Here the gifted boy was first introduced to chess by a part-time teacher Makofsky, owner of a chess club. Interested in the game, the seven-year-old asked his mother to allow him to join the club. Not able to afford the chess classes, she emailed Makofsky. To her surprise and joy, Makofsky agreed that Tani could learn it for free.
Though the chess club helps, it’s largely believed that Tani’s success lies in hard work. Theboy practices the game for many hours a day on the floor with his board. Every Saturday, Tani goes to a free 3-hour class to improve his game skills.
Not surprisingly, Tani’s story, first reported by The New York Times, has brought him great support from the public. Soon after the young boy won the New York Championship, Makofsky began a GoFundMe activity for Tani and his family so that he could continued his chess journey. It raised $200,000 in just ten days, far more than they expected. And the money keeps coming. But the family donates(捐赠) most of the money to the church and to those poor family!
Tani has also received offers from three famous private schools in New York. However, the family have politely refused all of them and chosen to continue Tani’s education at P. S. 116.
While excited about his new life, Tani is ready to meet great challenges(挑战). He is busy preparing for the 2019 National Primary Championships. Winning the competition will bring the chess player closer to his dream of becoming the world’s youngest chess grandmaster(大师). The record has been 17 years by the Russian chess player Karjakin, who won the title at the age of 12.
5. Tani began to learn chess at the age of __________.
A. seven B. eight C. nine D. twelve
6. Paragraph 3 is mainly about __________.

6. B【解析】段意归纳题。根据本段的第一句Though the chess club helps, it’s largely believed that Tani’s success lies in hard work.虽然他的成功有象棋俱乐部的帮助，但是主要原因在于他的勤奋和努力；再结合下文的描述：他每天在地上用板子练习好几个小时下棋，而且每周六他都会去上3个小时的免费课程，以提高他的下棋技能。可知本段主要讲述的是Tani在下象棋方面有多么的努力，故答案选B。
7. D【解析】细节理解题。根据文中的信息Soon after the young boy won the New York Championship, Makofsky began a GoFundMe activity for Tani and his family so that he could continued his chess journey. It raised $200,000 in just ten days, far more than they expected.可知，在赢得纽约象棋赛冠军之后，为了他能继续他的象棋之旅，Makofsky为Tani和他的家人举办了活动，仅仅10天就筹集了20万美元，远远超过了他们的预期。这意味着Tani得到了很多社会上的支持，故答案选D。

Amram: Would your Majesty be good enough to feel this silk? See how fine and soft it is!
(Amram comes a little closer to the Queen and holds out some purple silk. She feels it.)
Queen: Yes, it is. And I like this bright purple color very much. (She turns to Zahrah.) Zahrah, what do you think of it?
Zahrah: I like it very much, and it is a good color for a queen, your Majesty. (She folds up the silk and puts it to one side.)
Amram: The king of my own country, the wise King Solomon, likes this bright purple better than any other color.
Queen: I have heard many things about your king.
Amram: He is a good king, your Majesty, and a kind man. All his people love him.
Queen: I have also heard that he is very wise. Is it true, Amram, that King Solomon understands what animals say?
Amram: It is true, your Majesty.
Queen (Smiles): It’s very hard to believe.
Amram: If I told you what happened one time when I was with the king. I think you would believe it.
Queen: I’d like to hear your story.
Amram: Well, one day our king and some men of his palace were riding on horseback to a nearby city. The king was riding ahead of the rest of us. All at once he pulled his horse to stop. He looked down at the sand in the road.
Queen: Go on.
Amram: Then the king turned his horse off the road and onto the grass. He kept his horse on the grass a little way before turning back onto the road.
Queen: Did he say why he stopped and then turned his horse off the road?
Amram: King Solomon told us he had seen some ants hurrying along in the sand of the road. He said he had heard them say they were afraid that the horses would walk on them.
Queen (Surprised): And that was why your mighty king turned off the road?
Amram (Proud): Yes, your Majesty. The mighty King Solomon stopped to hear what the little ants in the sand were saying. He turned off the road to save them from being hurt.
Queen: Then he must be as wise and as kind as people say he is.
Amram: Now you can believe it, can’t you?
Queen: I won’t fully believe it until I see and hear him myself, Amram.
Amram: Then why don’t you come to our country and pay him a visit, your Majesty?
Queen: Yes, I think I shall do that, Amram. But first I must think of a way to test this wise king. You may go now, Amram.
Amram: Good day, your Majesty. (He backs away.)

（十）【2019 • 重庆市中考B卷】
When ＂A Youthful Asia＂ came out at the Asian Culture Carnival (嘉年华) , tears filled my eyes. It’s Zhang Yixing, the singer and dancer standing there for us young people in China, and the very one who stopped me from falling.
Three years ago, my new school life began. As a junior boy from the countryside, I could hardly keep up. I tried, but still felt like an outsider. Nobody would pick me for teamwork. So I stayed in the corner, hanging my head low as if I didn’t care. There was a fear in me that all my school life would be colorless.
Then on May 4, I was ＂colorless＂ in Yixing’s book about his life. How could this be true for someone just named the youth idol (青年偶像)? I read the book again, smiling with the fun part of his childhood and touched by his pormise to his mum.
Something wet my eyes when he joked about his trianing years in Korea. He doubled his practice, pushing himself so hard as to be called ＂the trainee (练习生) like god＂. He said it probably meant ＂the trainee like mad＂.
I might have tried, but not as hard as he did. ＂Whenever I feel I might be falling, I tell myself to hold on until I find my moment.＂ Says Yixing. For me, this moment means a better self inside and a larger world outside. So I told myself I would also make a difference if I could hold on for a longer time.
Luckily, every Youth Day after that, Yixing would be there on CCTV, encouraging me with his prograss. When someone asked him what color his training life was, Yixing smiled, ＂It’s colorless. I don’t know what color effort is.＂
But effort pays. Not he’s standing at the Asian Culture Carnival, and I know he is looking forward to something even bigger.
42. When the writer just moved to the city, he __________.
A. enjoyed his new school life B. had a hard time at his new school
C. stood outside the classroom D. wanted to go back to the countryside
43. Zhang Yixing was called ＂the trainee like god＂ because __________.
A. he kept his promise to his mum B. he pushed everything away from him
C. he was really good at telling jokes D. he spent so much time in practicing
44. The writer mainly wants to tell us that __________.
A. sometimes people choose to live a life without color
B. we can make a difference if we work hard enough
C. great effort can make you a great singer and dancer
D. school life can be full of colors if we read more books
45. We can infer (推断) that the writer __________.
A. is ready for a trip around the world B. is leaving to sing and dance
C. is expecting a better future for himself D. is writing a book about himself

They will come the first day and they see the scarecrow, and they go back. But the second day, they’ll come and they say, this thing is not moving here, it is always here!
