（2023·浙江丽水·统考中考真题）There were only 15 minutes until lunch. But everyone in Mrs. Stretch’s
math class was waiting excitedly for the start of Around the World.
Around the World was Eddie’s favorite classroom game. He loved racing against a classmate to solve a math
problem. Eddie won and lost. But his friend Michael never lost. He was the champion（冠军）of Around the
World. Every week he would go around the classroom winning against everyone.
“Are we all ready?” Mrs. Stretch asked. Everyone nodded.
“Then let’s begin,” said Mrs. Stretch. “Talia, you start.”
Talia was new to the class. This would be her first time playing. She jumped up and went over to Eddie’s
desk. Eddie stood up, too.
“Twelve times two,” said Mrs. Stretch.
“Twenty-four!” Talia called out, a second before Eddie could.
Eddie sat down, disappointed but still happy to know the right answer.
Talia moved on to challenge the next classmate. She seemed unstoppable. Finally, Talia got to Michael.
“Eight times twelve,” Mrs. Stretch said.
“Ninety-six!” shouted Talia first.
The class sat shocked, then everyone cheered for Talia, today’s champion.
“Nice job, Talia,” said Mrs. Stretch. “It’s time for lunch, everyone. Now line up, please.”
Eddie stood to go to lunch. He noticed Michael had his head down on his desk, his face buried in his arms.
Eddie walked to Michael and put his hand on his shoulder.
“It's OK to lose,” Eddie said. “I lose Around the World all the time. You’re still great at multiplication.”
“That’s not why I’m upset,” Michael said into his arms. “No one likes me. They cheered when I lost.”
“You think they cheered against you?” Eddie asked.
“ ▲ ” Michael said.
“I think they cheered because they were too surprised,” Eddie said. “You’re the champ. Talia had to do her
best to beat you. So, people were excited about it.”
“She is really good at math,” Michael agreed.

Narnia and his aunt. Though he had wonderful toys, he liked best the last hour of the day when the toys had all
been put away and Nurse would tell him stories.
He didn’t care much for his uncle and aunt, but about twice a week his uncle would ask him to come and

like that, eh?”
“I don’t know, Uncle,” said Caspian. “What do you wish?” asked the King. “I wish-I wish—I wish I could
have lived in the Old Days,” said Caspian.
Up till now the King had been talking in a tiresome way, which made it quite clear that he wasn’t really

“Eh? What’s that?” he said. “What old days?”

long time and everyone had a lovely time, and it was all because of Aslan.”

（2023·湖北随州·统考中考真题）Pyramid Surprise
Linda and I were born only a few days apart, so every year we plan a birthday party together. This year, our
birthday theme (主题) was “Discover the Pyramids”.
“What about inviting Mary?” Linda asked.
Mary was lonely, and hadn’t made many friends, but she was better at math than anyone else in class.
“Hmm, she wears the same old trousers every day. How could she even afford a party dress?”
After school the next day, Linda handed me a box. “What’s that?” I asked.
“My birthday gift from my aunt. I thought it would be nice to give this to Mary,” Linda said.
I opened the box. Inside was a gift certificate (礼品券) for our favorite clothes store.

“So, are we going to just hand it to her?”
“How embarrassing that would be!” Linda answered.
She was right. Mary would be totally embarrassed if we gave her money for clothes.

dropped. This was not in the plan.
“The big prize game is like this: Tom and Sam were building pyramids... If their pyramids had to be 60 feet
high, who would finish first?”
A math game. Of course! Linda winked (眨眼示意) at me. No one was surprised when Mary came up with

项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Times change! The day I heard that the Bright Bookstore was closing, I was sad. The bookstore had been in
the neighborhood for 50 years, and it was a great place where people could connect through their love of books.
When I met Old Tim, the store’s owner, he told me it was difficult to run（运营）a traditional bookstore.
Most young people preferred reading e-books and more people bought books online.
Childhood memories came back to me so clearly. A group of us kids often went to the store. We looked at the
new books, or just talked with Tim. We spent hours reading there. Tim encouraged us to share our ideas by writing
them on a large board.
A few months later, I was back and was surprised to see that the Bright Bookstore was still open for business.
It was still old, but inside it was like a different world. In an area, a book reading was going on. Nearby, some
readers were sharing their ideas on a screen instead of the large board. Some were reading on computers. It even
had a coffee shop selling nice food. Clearly, the Bright Bookstore was in good, creative hands.
Tim told me that there were more community events in the coffee shop such as book readings and even
concerts and movie nights. The bookstore was turned into a place where the book lovers got together and shared
ideas and experiences.
“Well, as you can see, technology and creativity have brought my old bookstore into the 21st century! I’m so
glad to see that everything I wanted it to offer to the community is still here,” said Tim.
No matter how times change, there are always people who love reading. With the development of technology,
traditional bookstores should also change in a creative way.

（2022·广东深圳·统考中考真题）I took up baking(烘焙) when I was twelve. At that time I was working
on my school bakery project with my classmates. I tried a few times, but I wasn’t very successful. My parents
advised I learn from my grandmother, who later gave me her recipe (食谱) and instruction as well. After two
years’ practice, I was able to make delicious bread. I have come to realize making bread means a lot to me
although it takes a long time.
To make bread, others usually use quick-rise yeast (酵母), but I don’t. Every Saturday morning, after mixing
proper amount of water with flour, sugar etc, I take time to wait for the dough to rise. This is my way to slow
down and smell the roses.
Baking does require great patience. In my hands, the dough is slowly growing. It’s becoming softer. I can
feel the change, which connects me to something quite different from the modern way of living. To me, making
bread is a push against our culture of convenience. It certainly takes more time than buying bread from a store, but
I enjoy it.
I’ve stuck with my grandmother’s recipe without making any change. Now this tradition has continued for
years. Sometimes, in order to fit it in, I have to change my schedule. But I have never considered giving it up.
By the time my children get home from school, the bread has been baked and cooled. They step into the
7关注公众号：陆陆高分冲刺 ~领取：最新版“小中高考-总复习”、最新试卷下载
house and the first thing they do is to take a deep breath of the warm, honeyed air. My bread-baking has also
helped them to slow down and understand the value of taking their time and leading an unhurried life.
25．Who taught the writer to make bread?
A．Her teacher. B．Her grandmother. C．Her parents. D．Her classmates.
26．How is the writer’s bread-making different from others’?
A．She uses less water. B．She uses more sugar.
C．She doesn’t bake it a long time. D．She doesn’t add quick-rise yeast.
27．Which word best describes life in modern times according to the writer?
A．Relaxing. B．Exciting. C．Fast. D．Happy.
28．What does the underlined “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The recipe. B．The plan. C．The change. D．The tradition.
29．What does the writer want to teach her children to do?
A．Do things in a slow way. B．Bake bread at an early age.
C．Be thankful for parents’ work. D．Get home from school in time.

（2022·广西玉林·统考中考真题）For 17 years, Mohamed Nasar has supported his family of five by
fishing in the Nile River.
But the 58-year-old says fishermen like himself catch fewer fish every year as the Nile has been filled with
plastic bottles, bags and other waste.
“The fish are caught in the bottles, and they die,” said Nasar.
A local environmental group named “VeryNile” has asked the island’s fishermen to use their boats to collect
plastic bottles from the river. VeryNile says it buys the bottles at a higher price than the market price offered by
traders or recycling factories.
The initiative (倡议) provides a solution for helping to clean up the Nile, while providing a way to make
more money for fishermen like Nasar.
“This job has helped us a bit. We come and collect about 10 to 15 kilos of plastic bottles, and we get about 12
Egyptian pounds for each,” Nasar said when he sat in his boat collecting bottles.
Nasar, who made about 100 EGP a day after six hours of fishing, can now make another 200 EGP by
collecting bottles.
Another fisherman said cleaner Nile water would mean more fish. “On the one hand, the Nile is cleaner, and
on the other hand, the fisherman now has more ways to make money,” he said.
With the help of more than 40 fishermen, over the past year VeryNile has collected around 18 tons of plastic
bottles, and most of them went to the recycling factory and were made into new things.
46．Why did Nasar catch fewer fish every year?
A．Because he was too old.

B．Because he was too lazy.
C．Because he has fished for 17 years in the Nile River.

47．What did VeryNile ask the fishermen to do?
A．To catch fish.
B．To sell the bottles to traders.
C．To buy the bottles.
D．To collect plastic bottles from the river.
48．Which place did most of the plastic bottles go to?
A．The traders’ home.
B．The recycling factory.
C．The market.
D．The fishermen’s home.

（2023·江苏淮安·校考一模）Every boy wants to find treasure. And Tom was no different. One summer
day Tom told Huck about his idea.
“Where can we look for treasure?” asked Huck.
“It’s hidden on islands, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in haunted(闹鬼的) houses.”
“Who hides it?”
“Robbers(劫匪). You can find a box with a hundred dollars in it, or a chest full of diamonds(钻石).”
So, on Saturday afternoon the boys went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill. It was a
quiet and lonely place. And the boys looked at each other in fear. They entered quietly, and explored downstairs.
There were cobwebs(蜘蛛网) everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw their tools in a
corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging
when Tom stopped.
“What is it?” whispered Huck, going white with fear.
“Keep still! There’s someone downstairs!”
The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs. One was
an old Spaniard(西班牙人) in a wide hat. The other was dirty and unpleasant-looking. The boys shook with fear.
Then the Spaniard spoke. It was Indian Joe. Tom and Huck felt even more frightened.
The men sat down on the floor and ate. They then lay down and fell asleep. When the two men woke up, the
stranger said, “It’s time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from the robbery?”
“Let’s keep $30 each and leave the rest here.”
The dirty man went to the fireplace(壁炉) and moved a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full of money and
took out some coins.
The two boys forgot all their fears. There was real treasure downstairs.

（2023·广东深圳·统考一模）The conflict (冲突) between Russia and Ukraine itself may be a questionable
topic, yet it is the people who suffer the most. More than 4 million Ukrainians had fled from their homeland one
month after it began. It was the biggest migration (移民) wave since World War II.
I wanted to help by being a volunteer. However, it was difficult because I don’t speak Russian or Ukrainian.
Luckily, after searching on the internet, I was finally able to sign up to volunteer in a modern gallery called
Svetova.
The gallery is owned by an overseas Chinese in Prague, Czech Republic, and had over 40 volunteers to
provide 24/7 aid to the Ukrainian refugees (难民). During a two-week intensive (集中的) aid program, the gallery
provided a place to live and food for up to five people for free and also served as a safe and interesting space for
children, where English classes, games and other fun activities were organized.
Due to my busy school and work schedule, I was only able to volunteer there twice. But, besides the owner
and his family, I was the first Chinese volunteer. My role was to help the refugees fill out registration (登记)
papers. Sometimes, it was difficult with the language barrier, but there were translators to help.
I was so impressed by one Ukrainian mother and her two kids, who still had such kind smiles and bright
eyes, despite all the awful things they must have experienced. Some other people may not be able to easily
understand their feelings, but I really valued this chance to be with those people in need, doing what I could.
Because we are all humans, we should come together in difficult times.
6．What do we know from Paragraph 1?
A．The conflict between Russia and Ukraine lasted one month.
B．People in Ukraine have suffered a lot in the conflict.

（2023·湖北荆州·统考一模）My name is Pablo. I think I’m a lucky guy. I have a good family, and we live
in a nice neighborhood in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. People travel here from many countries for their vacations. We
have beautiful beaches, hotels, restaurants, shopping and sports.
However, in my beautiful hometown, there are also very poor neighborhoods. These areas are crowded and
have a lot of crime (犯罪). Life is terrible for many of the children in these areas. Some don’t really have a
childhood because they’re homeless and live on the streets. They don’t have education. They don’t have enough
food. Many use drugs or have illnesses or other problems.
Last year, I came back to Puerto Vallarta from my university in Mexico City, I spent one year as a volunteer
with an organization called Outreach International. They have several programs. I volunteered for one program to
help street children. I worked in a home for street children (all boys, at this one). At this home, the boys have a
place to sleep and three meals daily. The home keeps the boys off the streets. It shows them another way of life.
As a volunteer, I helped to prepare meals. I taught games—such as basketball, football and art. I helped the kids
with their homework. These kids can be fun. They have a lot of energy, but they’re also really tough (坚韧的).
Their long and difficult time on the streets make them strong and not always “sweet little children”.
At these boys’ home, I met two other volunteers—Brian from Canada and Greg from Australia. In many
ways, we were very similar. We were the same age, came from good homes and had a good education. They were
both college students like me. We became very good friends. Now, we email each other.
It was the best and most difficult year of my life. I learned a lot that year.

（2023·江苏南京·统考二模）The world is full of amazing things. Let’s see the amazing story of a crane!
There was once a poor sailmaker named Chris. He worked very hard every day, but he didn’t make much
money. He had a roof over his head and food to eat, so he lived comfortably, but he felt lonely because he had
nobody to share his simple life with.
One day, an injured crane lay near Chris’ front steps. “Poor crane,” he whispered. He carefully carried the
crane and brought it inside. He cared for it all winter long. One day, it was strong enough to fly away. Chris
watched and thought, “If only I could catch that crane’s swiftness (迅速) in one of my sails.” The following
spring, a beautiful woman knocked at Chris’ door. “My name is Lydia,” she said softly. “I’ve been walking for
several days, and I need food and rest.” Chris took her in. A month later, they got married.
“I can make wonderful sails for you,” Lydia said. “They will be beautiful, and you will make a lot of money
from them. However, you must promise never to watch me make the sails.”
Chris said, “I promise.”
Lydia went to her weaving(编织) room. A month went by before the first sail was finished. When Chris
finally brought it to the market, he was surprised that people wanted to pay so much money for it. He asked Lydia
to weave more. She wove many sails, and Chris’ wealth grew. He spent his new money on expensive clothing,
jewellery, and paintings. As he made more money and got more things, he slowly became more greedy (贪婪的).
One day, Lydia said she needed to rest. She was tired out. But Chris insisted that she keep working, so she
did. Then Chris wanted her to work faster. He became impatient with Lydia. One day, he was so angry that he
forgot about the promise he’d made. He threw open the door to Lydia’s weaving room and was surprised to see a
beautiful crane weaving its feathers into a sail.
Chris shouted, “You’re the crane that I saved!”
“Yes,” the crane said. “But you’ve broken your promise, so I must leave.”
Once again, Chris was a poor, lonely sailmaker. Whenever he saw a crane in the sky, he thought about his
