（2024·江苏苏州·中考真题）Auggie’s Story
Sleep
I’d been reading for over an hour and sleep still didn’t come. It was almost two a. m.
Everyone else was asleep. I had my flashlight (手电筒) on under the sleeping bag. Maybe the light
was why I couldn’t sleep, but I was too afraid to turn it off. What had happened kept coming back
to my mind.
When we got back to the camp, no one noticed we’d been gone. The teachers and all the
other kids were still watching the movie. They didn’t know how something bad had just happened
to me and Jack. It’s so strange how that can be, how you could have a night that’s the worst in
your life, but to everybody else it’s just a usual night.
Amos, Miles and Henry brought us back to our seats. Then they returned to their own seats.
In a way, everything was exactly as we had left it. The sky was the same. The movie was the
same. Everyone’s faces were the same. Mine was the same.
But something was different. Something had changed.
Home
“So, do you want to hear about the bad part or the good part first?” I asked Mum.
“Whatever you want to talk about,” she answered.
“Well, except for last night, I had a fantastic time,” I said. “I feel like they ruined (毁坏) the
whole trip for me.”
“No, sweetie. Don’t let them do that to you. You were there for more than forty-eight hours,
and that awful part lasted one hour. Don’t let them take that away from you, okay?”
“I know.” I nodded. “But do I always have to worry about bad guys like that? Like when I
grow up, is it always going to be like this?”
“There are always going to be bad guys in the world, Auggie,” she said, looking at me. “But
I really believe there are more good people on this earth than bad people, and the good people

watch out for each other and take care of each other. Just like Jack was there for you. And Amos.
And those other kids.”
“Oh yeah, Miles and Henry,” I answered. “They were amazing, too. It’s very strange
because Miles and Henry haven’t even really been very nice to me at all during the year.”
“Sometimes people surprise us,” she said, rubbing the top of my head.

（2024·重庆·中考真题）On Saturday morning, all the summer world was sweet and fresh.
There was cheer in every face and a spring in every step, except Tom Sawyer.
Aunt Polly made him paint their fence (栅栏) as a punishment. It was 90 feet long and 9
feet high. He stared at the fence, and all gladness left him. He painted one board and stopped.
“This will take forever,” he sighed (叹气).
He knew the boys with all kinds of toys would soon come along and make fun of him —the
very thought of it burnt him like fire. At this dark and hopeless moment, an idea came to him! He
went back to work quietly.
Ben Rogers came along the road. He was singing happily and carrying a big apple.
Tom went on painting—paid no attention to him. Ben stared a moment and called Tom.
No answer. Tom surveyed his last touch with the eye of an artist, then he gave his brush
another gentle sweep. Ben called him again.
“Why, it’s you, Ben! I wasn’t noticing.” Tom turned suddenly and said.
“I’m going to swim,” said Ben. “Do you want to come? Oh, you have to work, don’t you?
What a pity!”
“I’m not working.” Tom answered carelessly. “Well, maybe it is working, but I like it.”
“What?” shouted Ben. “You like it?”
“Well, I don’t see why I shouldn’t,” Tom kept painting, and said. “Boys don’t get to paint a
fence every day.”
That put the thing in a new light. Ben stopped eating his apple and watched Tom for a
while. Tom swept his brush gently back and forth. The fence looked clean and white. Before long.
Ben really wanted to paint, too! “Let me try a little,” he begged (乞求) Tom.
Tom considered, “No, Ben, I can’t. Aunt Polly warned me to do it well. Only one boy in a
thousand has the talent to paint.”
“Oh, please, Tom,” said Ben. “I can do it. I’ll be very careful. I’ll give you half my apple.

everywhere, on the floor, on the blanket, on the sofa…“Come here, Eco!” says Holly. She wants to

get nice bones. The amazing thing is, Eco really enjoys it. For him, it’s one big game.

here!”…And he doesn’t get into trouble!

（2024·四川泸州·中考真题）Anna Mary Robertson was a famous American painter. It is
often said that Anna first took up painting when she was nearly 80 years old. In fact, when she was
a little girl, she drew whenever she had a chance.
Long before she became known, Anna lived a life full of challenges. She always kept busy
with farm chores, housework, and children, but she never really stopped pursuing (追求) art.
In Anna’s late age, she pictured some scenes in her mind before painting. She would close
her eyes and recall a happy time from her early life. She would remember helping her father on
the farm. She would see the people, the farm buildings, and the animals. She would imagine the
blue mountains and the softly falling snow.
Anna’s friends and family members loved the paintings. She gave them away as gifts. A
friend hung several of the paintings in a local store. One day a stranger came into the store and
bought every one of her paintings. He took her paintings to New York City and showed them to
some art collectors. One of these collectors, Dr. Kallir, liked the paintings. He hung some of them
in his gallery (画廊). The newspaper did a story about the art show. The reporter called Anna
“Grandma Moses.” From then on almost everyone called her that way. Grandma Moses kept on
painting. Her paintings got better, and they got more popular.
In her lifetime, Moses created about 1,500 works of art. They were cheerful, warm and full
of life, just like Grandma herself. Her paintings still remain popular today.
“As I look back on my life, it’s like a good day’s work. It was done and I feel satisfied with
it. I knew nothing better than painting and made full use of what life offered. And life is what we

（2024·四川南充·中考真题）Recently, I asked a seeing friend who had just walked in the
woods what she had noticed. “Nothing special,” she replied.
How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of
note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so
much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight (视力)? And I have
imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days.
On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and
the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and
admire the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep.
On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man’s progress. I should try to
explore the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should spend at the movies.
The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business
of life. At midnight permanent (永久的) night would close in on me again, and I should realize
how much I had left unseen.
I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you
would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf
