Among most people, his name means little, but in certain circles, he is known as one of the finest mountain runners to have ever lived. Joss lives and breathes mountains. He has lived and farmed all his life in an area of the Lake District which has many mountains, including the tallest mountain in England. Joss has an almost superhuman ability to run at speed over mountains. However, he wasn’t always a mountain runner. As a young man, he was advised to give up farming because of serious back problems. But, when he was 24, he was tired of being told to take it easy. Nothing can stop a good man from being better! He continued working and took up running. When he ran his first mountain race, he discovered that he fell in love with it. All his time spent herding (放牧) sheep on the mountains had prepared him for this. His achievements are nothing short of famous. For example, he smashed his own record and set a new one. At the age of 49, he ran up 214 mountains. “It is a wonderful experience though the practice is very hard,” he said. Many of his runs have raised money for charity, and he is popular in the community. He keeps writing and sharing his experiences about his climb. “I want people back home—especially family and friends who support me—to get a real feel for what it’s like,” he said. 1．Why is Joss famous in certain circles?

Scene One One morning, just when Mr. Wormwood was setting off to cheat others again, Matilda walked into his room quietly to get the hat he wore each day to work. She was too short and had to get it with a walking-stick. Holding the hat in one hand and a bottle of superglue in the other, Matilda put some glue very carefully all round the inside rim (边) of the hat. Then she carefully put the hat back. Scene Two That evening, when Mr. Wormwood got home, he cried, “I can’t take my hat off and I have to keep it all day!” “Don’t be silly,” his wife said. “Come here. I’ll take it off for you.” “Ow-w-w! Don’t do that! Let go! You’ve nearly killed me!” he shouted. “What’s the matter?” Matilda was standing at the door with a book in her hand. Mr. Wormwood looked at her doubtfully, but said nothing. “It must be superglue. Haven’t I told you not to touch the dirty thing?” Mrs. Wormwood said. “I haven’t touched it!” Mr. Wormwood shouted. He turned and looked again at Matilda, who looked back at him with large innocent (无辜的) brown eyes. Scene Three Mr. Wormwood had to keep his hat on all through dinner. Later, he discovered that the worst thing about having the hat was not to take a shower in it, but to sleep in it. “I expect it will be loose (松动) by the morning and then it’ll be taken off easily,” Mrs. Wormwood said. Scene Four But the hat wasn’t loose by the morning. So Mrs. Wormwood cut the thing off his head, bit by bit, first the top and then the rim.

The trip let me enjoy the clear lake and beautiful views in the woods. I felt the difference at once. I relaxed. I came home feeling rested and a little more cheerful. Going camping became a way to reduce the worry in my life. I not only got a nice weekend, but I was also experiencing the benefits (益处) of nature to my mental health (心理健康)—something that researchers and healthcare providers have long noticed. Research has found that as little as five minutes in nature can be helpful for people to reduce worry and feel happier. This means that we can 15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 get relaxed and feel better from stepping outside right away. If we are unable to put our whole body and mind into nature — for example, by taking a weekend camping trip — we can still find chances in our area. We can take a five-minute break in a small park near our house or take a moment to sit under a large tree. We’ll find them useful to refresh our mind. Our better feelings in later life can demonstrate the active influence of nature. Besides simply spending more time outdoors, consider how we can enjoy nature even if we have no time to get close to nature. Listen to recorded bird songs or rainstorms instead of music, bring green plants or put pictures of natural beauty into our home. Although bringing nature indoors is quite different from a real outdoor experience, we can still feel nature and experience improved feelings. Being in nature doesn’t ask anything of us. Slow down, go outside, and notice what’s around us. Listen, touch and smell, and we will really notice a benefit in our mental health. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项. 62．What did the writer do last weekend?

While the animals have always interested him, the people who live alongside them have changed how he sees the world and himself. “Life lessons from those people have truly moved me,” he says. From South India to Central America, Sanket has met communities who live in peace with nature. “They understand the value of every species (物种), no matter how small,” he says. “Even if you are just watching sparrows (麻雀), you might try to understand why they are doing what they are doing.” In our busy lives, we often fail to notice these small moments (瞬间).

For Sanket, wildlife photography has never been about becoming famous. “I do it to add value to animals’ lives,” he says. “Don’t do it to get a few good pictures.” Sanket shares the stories and moments that shaped him in his book View Finder. “I feel I need to pass on what I have learned from nature to the young people.

Liu Lijie, halfway through a 13-hour workday, usually rides to a restaurant in Beijing for his favorite choice —mutton noodle soup, for 12 yuan, 6 yuan cheaper than the regular price. The reduced-price meals, known as aixincan or loving meals, are available at some restaurants in large cities, home to large populations of migrant workers (农民工) who come looking for jobs. “There is a lot of pressure in life since I came to Beijing to work, so eating aixincan is both cheap and convenient,” says 40-year-old Liu, who arrived in Beijing two years ago from Shanxi province. In order to get back earlier to make money, he digs into his meal hurriedly at the Yushiji Restaurant. Luo Shuai, another delivery driver, learned of Yushiji’s aixincan through his workmates and has since become a daily customer at the restaurant, which serves food from his native (本地的) Henan province. “It reminds me of my hometown,” says 27-year-old Luo, who moved to Beijing at the end of last year. Feng Yong, the 43-year-old manager of a meat pie restaurant, spends much of his day making pies. He says the restaurant began serving aixincan to help people in need and inspire others to do the same. As a Shandong province native who moved to Beijing more than 20 years ago, Feng says he has a deep understanding of being an outsider working in a new city. The key, he says, is to avoid any embarrassment for customers who are in need. The staff do what they can to offer help and don’t ask any private things of the customers. “We don’t refuse them anything, just as long as they’re full,” Feng says. 135．Why does Liu Lijie go to the restaurant in Beijing after the lunchtime rush? A．To have a reduced-price meal. B．To get back to make money. C．To deliver food for the restaurant. D．To sell mutton noodle soup. 136．What makes Luo Shuai homesick? A．The help from his workmates. B．The cheap and convenient meals. C．The Henan food in the restaurant. D．The meat pies in Yushiji Restaurant. 137．According to Feng Yong, what’s important when serving aixincan for customers? A．Making them feel no embarrassment. B．Offering any kind of help to them. C．Asking them to come and eat regularly.D．Paying attention to their private life. 138．What do Liu Lijie, Luo Shuai and Feng Yong have in common? A．All of them prefer the reduced-price meals.

Robinson was an outstanding all-around athlete at the University of California. Yet in 1941 he had to drop out of the university to help his mother support the family. He entered the U.S. Army in 1942 and became a second lieutenant (少尉) in 1943. However, he had to leave the army because he refused to follow an order that a black person like him should sit at the back of the army bus. This might be one of the reasons for his future fight for human rights. Upon leaving the army, Robinson played baseball in a black league team, where he drew the attention of the general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Branch Rickey. Robinson’s talents on the field, his honesty, and his caring for family all satisfied Rickey. In 1947, Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers, becoming the first black player in the major leagues and breaking the 63-year-old “color line”. He achieved quick success on the field and became the National League’s Most Valuable Player in 1949. From 1947 through 1956, he led the Dodgers to six league championships and one World Series victory. The road to success is never smooth. At first, because of his color, Robinson was treated unfairly by baseball fans, players on opposite teams, and even his teammates. He wrote in his book, “Plenty of times I wanted to leave, but I had to hold to myself. I know that I am a black man in a white world. The whole thing is bigger than myself.” After retiring (退役) from baseball in 1957, Robinson went on working for human rights. He was a spokesman for the NAACP and made appearances with Martin Luther King. In 1962, Robinson became the first black person to be introduced into the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1984, Robinson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor for an American. 139．Why did Robinson stop his army life? A．Because he did not want to be a second lieutenant. B．Because he refused to sit at the back of the army bus. C．Because he had to help his mother to support his family. D．Because he wanted to play in the American major leagues. 140．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A．Robinson’s baseball team. B．Robinson’s baseball experiences. C．Robinson’s baseball talents.

Young male Peking Opera artists in their 20s were applying makeup, adjusting costumes, stretching, and clearing their throats. The air was filled with the sounds of traditional Chinese instruments. “These young people started learning with me when they were just kids—now they’re adults, leading the shows themselves,” says Yang Shaochun, an 85-year-old Peking Opera master. This weekend, four shows will be put on at Beijing People’s Theatre. Young wuxi artists will play the lead roles. Wuxi, or martial (武术的) play, is the base of the fighting and movement part in Peking Opera. Wei Pengyu, a 29-year-old actor, was attracted to Peking Opera as a child—not by the music or stories at first, but by the colorful, amazing facial masks that brought the characters to life. At 14, he began training in Peking Opera, especially in wusheng—a male role type. “For me, stepping into the role of a hero is a dream come true,” he says. “Playing wuxi isn’t just about action—it’s about expressing the character’s courage, justice (正义), loyalty and strength through movements,” says Xu Zhouyi, 25, another male actor. Later that evening, a classic piece San Cha Kou was played by two young actors, Wu Zeyu and Shu Jiaxing. The viewers were attracted to the great scene and cheered for the actors’ excellent martial art movements. Wu and Shu practiced together for nearly a year. “San Cha Kou is a test of trust between two actors. We have to read each other’s energy—know when one is speeding up or slowing down. Every movement must be perfectly counted to avoid real crashes while still looking dangerous,” says Wu. 146．What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 1? A．Asking the master for help. B．Getting ready for the show. C．Having a martial art lesson. D．Learning a new instrument. 147．Why does the writer mention Wei Pengyu and Xu Zhouyi? A．To share their life experiences. B．To compare their training results. C．To show their understanding of wuxi. D．To express their love for facial masks. 148．What message can we learn from the successful show of San Cha Kou?

Without enough teaching materials, she could only collect articles from English newspapers and magazines. In spoken English teaching, Isabel asked students to watch her in a given conversation first. Since there were no tape recorders at school, she had to perform the conversation again and again.

On a fine Sunday morning in May, a team of 10 women over 65 years old, known as the Old Women Against Underwater Rubbish (OWAUR), looked for rubbish across Nova Pond in Scotia.

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. 46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 34．Why couldn’t Auggie fall asleep?

The 72-year-old has competed in every triathlon in the event’s 40-year history. He was part of the group that came up with the idea in the 1980s. “I used to jog around town,” Mr. O’Neill said. “I came into contact with an Olympian, David Power, and Dave had a hotel up here. A few of us got together and we discussed it and got it going in October, 1983.” The then 31-year-old suggested one of the group should compete. “Everyone else could either ride a bike or run, but I was the only one who could swim,” he laughed. “But I was happy to give it a go.” In the beginning, more than 220 athletes took part in the event, including 79 individual competitors and 48 teams. These days it’s a five-day festival—which includes 11 events in all—with more than 13,000 competitors. Rebecca van Pooss, head of operations for the triathlon there, said the event Mr. O’Neill helped to start was now an international event. “It is the world’s largest Olympic-distance triathlon,” she said. “That’s something we’re very proud of.” “Mr. O’ Neill’s efforts were inspiring.

Or maybe there is a famous cartoon from another country you like to watch in Chinese? But how do you change the language to Chinese? This is something called dubbing (配音). To dub means adding sounds or words in a new language to a movie, radio or TV show. Dubbing is usually done to make it easier for people in another country to understand a movie or a show. For me, I’ve had experience dubbing TV shows and cartoons from Chinese into English. I’ve done dubbing for many kinds of shows, such as love stories, kung fu movies, documentaries (纪录片) and more. However, my favourite ones to dub are cartoons. That’s because with cartoons I can use many different kinds of voices, such as high ones for good guys and low ones for bad guys. Two of my favourite cartoons that I’ve dubbed were called A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix (《百鸟朝凤》) and The Foolish Old Man Who Removes the Mountains (《愚公移山》). In the first cartoon, I 76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 got to play a silly and very proud but well-meaning blackbird. In the second cartoon, I played both the main hero named Qingfeng and the main bad guy named Mountain Spirit Zheng. The hardest part was not reading the written words. But it was acting out (将……演出来) the voices while matching the actions at the same time. Still, it was really fun voicing all of these different roles! If you enjoy making different voices, then I highly suggest that you try dubbing at least once. 157．Why do people dub foreign movies? A．To show their foreign language skill. B．To increase the movies’ ticket prices. C．To make the movies easy to understand. D．To add their own opinions in the movies. 158．What is the writer’s favourite type of dubbing? A．Love stories. B．Kung fu movies. C．Documentaries. D．Cartoons. 159．The underlined word “guys” in paragraph 2 means ______ in the text.

D．An old man. 161．What was the hardest part for the writer in dubbing the second cartoon? A．Dubbing the voice of a blackbird. B．Writing the words for the movies. C．Reading aloud behind the screen.

She’s so happy, and the dog is happy, too! “I want to call him Eco,” says Holly. “Come here, Eco!” And Eco wags (摇摆) his tail. “That dog is your responsibility (责任), Holly,” says her father. “No problem!” Holly agrees. Before school, Holly takes Eco for his first morning walk. She feels very tired. It’s really cold and dark—and it’s so early! But Eco doesn’t mind. He runs, stops, runs again, sees a black cat, tries to run after it and nearly pulls Holly off her feet! Holly realizes it’s late when she gets back from the walk. She quickly eats a piece of bread, takes her bag and jacket, and runs to school. What a busy morning! But that’s not all for looking after a pet dog. When Holly takes Eco for his evening walk, it’s quite dark outside. Holly feels nervous. She runs along the road with him, but it’s difficult. Because Eco often stops to study the bushes and trees. And he often tries to catch birds, or play with sticks and fallen leaves. A few days go by. Then… It’s raining outside. Eco enters…and the trouble starts. Eco’s dirty paws leave prints everywhere, on the floor, on the blanket, on the sofa…“Come here, Eco!” says Holly. She wants to stop him, but it doesn’t work. Holly gets really angry now. She decides to punish Eco. So that night Eco is kept in the green house alone. When Holly enters the green house next morning, it’s a disaster.

She realizes it’s time to train the dog. “He needs to know the rules.” Every day after school, Holly repeats simple orders to Eco. If he can do as ordered, he can get nice bones. The amazing thing is, Eco really enjoys it. For him, it’s one big game. So Eco learns to sit when Holly says, “Sit!” He learns to come when Holly says, “Come here!”…And he doesn’t get into trouble! 195．What can we learn from Holly’s words in paragraph 2?

Then he lived with his grandpa in a small house. Life was harder for them. Their life depended on Nello’s grandpa. Every morning, the old man would collect fresh milk from one house to another. He then had to load (装载) the milk on a cart and sent it to the city. Growing up a little older, Nello would try to help his grandpa to travel from Flanders to the city. One day, as Nello and his grandpa were going home from the city they saw a large dog lying on the side of the road. The dog was motionless. “What happened?” asked Nello. “Is the dog dead?” His grandpa touched the nose of the dog with his hand and examined the body of the dog. He then said to Nello, “The dog is seriously ill. We have to take him to a vet (兽医), or he will die.” With the words, his grandpa put the dog on the cart and the two went home. The fact was that the dog was abandoned (抛弃) by his master because of his serious illness. Seeing the dying dog, Nello was heart- broken. The kind hearted boy took good care of him. Even though Nello and his grandpa did not have enough to eat, he would still feed the dog with milk and bread. Day by day, the dog began to stand on his feet and became stronger and stronger. “We should give him a name,” said Nello one day to his grandpa. “That’s a good idea,” replied his grandpa. “What name do you want to give him? How about Patrasche?” said Nello. “Patrasche is a beautiful name,” said his grandpa. From then on, Patrasche became a member of the family.

Through the window of the candy shop I could see tubes of colorful jelly beans. A sign on the window’s glass read LOST: Gold and blue necklace. Verry special. If found, call Chrissy at 555-9924. Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster and a border made of orange exclamation points. The necklace looked different from the one I clutched (紧握) in my pocket, I decided. Rounder, bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must have been put up months ago. “Hey,” Sam asked, “are you coming with me?” We continued to walk, and I noticed four more posters. Someone must have returned that necklace by now, I thought. Once home, I placed the necklace into my old yellow retainer box. I’d cleaned it out and made it my special place for special things. So far, it held twin miniature seashells, a pebble that looked exactly like a bird’s egg, and 11 half-burnt birthday candles. I looked at the stone, so clean and polished. Could it be Chrissy’s? Was it her “very special” necklace? “Uncle Coop,” I called, “would you take me to the store?” We went into town together and stopped at Luann’s. Uncle Coop let me borrow his cell phone to call the number on the poster. “Hello?” said a girl’s voice after one ring. “Hi,” I said, ▲ . “Is this Chrissy?” “Yes.” “Um, my name is Ryan.

Wang Jing, a woman from Shenyang, China, has given most of her time and energy to this art form for 27 years. In 1995, Wang got the idea by chance when she cut a piece of red paper using a knife and it left a white line. Then she believed that she might have created something out of common things. After that, using knives and paper, she completed a painting of a pair of birds. People usually “add” colors to create paintings, but knife painters use knives to “take away” colors on specially made coated paper. They use different pressure on the paper in different directions (方向) to create different colors. Once the marks are left on the paper, they cannot be covered, so it requires the painter to be completely lost in the work. Few people knew the great art form just after Wang created it. Besides, Wang herself was not expecting to make it something big at the beginning. But thanks to her love for the art form, she has kept painting for the past 27 years. So far, she has completed hundreds of paintings, and her favorite is a 2.8-meter-long painting. Wang said she would continue working in the field and make it known across the world. 89．What first made Wang decide to try knife painting? A．Knives and paper. B．The white line. C．The painting of birds. D．The red paper. 90．How can knife painting be done? A．By drawing on paper with a pencil. B．By creating shapes with brushes. 113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 C．By cutting the paper with a knife. D．By pressing on the coated paper. 91．What can be learned from paragraph 3?

D．When in Rome, do as the Romans do. （2023·江苏泰州·中考真题） Poems from Tang and Song dynasties, operas from Yuan dynasty, and novels from Ming and Qing dynasties are very famous in China’s history. Today, I’d like to recommend Song of Autumn, one of the poems by Liu Yuxi(772-842), a famous poet and writer in the mid Tang dynasty. Just as shown in the first line of the poem, most ancient poets liked to describe autumn as a sad time, but in this poem the season appears differently. In Liu’s eyes, autumn, full of life and hope, is even better than spring morning. He describes the bright scene of a crane riding the clouds and flying into the blue sky. 114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 With his poems paying special attention to expressing personal feelings, as well as the daily life of common people, Liu wrote poems with beautiful music-like words. You may feel it in this poem. Though being translated thoughtfully by experienced Xu Yuanchong, the poem still reads not so beautifully as that in Chinese. I personally think that English is sometimes not so powerful as Chinese. Here is another example, in Liu’s essay An Eulogium on a Humble Cell(《陋室铭》), with less than 100 words, he shows a lively picture of his humble cell. However, it also shows how he was pleased with the poor and simple life. People may find it strange that one can feel happy living in such a humble cell. Learning from his famous sentence, “be fragrant because of my virtues”(斯是陋室, 惟吾德馨), I think to be a respectable man is more important than to live in big houses, to wear beautiful clothes, to enjoy delicious food, and even to gain knowledge. 93．Which dynasty is the poem Song of Autumn written in? A．Song. B．Yuan. C．Ming. D．Tang. 94．How was autumn in Liu’s eyes at that time? A．He thought it was a sad time. B．He thought that autumn was rather cloudy. C．He thought Spring was better. D．He thought autumn was a hopeful season. 95．Which of the following is the feature of Liu Yuxi’s works according to the passage? A．Expressing personal feelings. B．Describing daily life of young people. C．Picturing blue sky and a crane. D．Writing songs according to music. 96．How did Liu feel about living in a humble cell in the writer’s opinion? A．Strange. B．Unhappy. C．Satisfied. D．Lonely. 97．Influenced by Liu Yuxi, which of the following does the writer think is the most important? A．To be a respectable man. B．To live in a big house. C．To wear beautiful clothes. D．To gain more knowledge. （2023·新疆·中考真题） 115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 The first marathon (马拉松) of the modern Olympic Games took place in 1896. Now marathon is a popular sport across China. On April 26, more than 300,000 runners took part in 26 marathon events nationwide, reported China Daily. Teenagers have also taken part in marathons actively. Xu Qian, a 15-year-old boy from Suqian, Jiangsu, loves running. He took first place in the 5-kilometer Happy Run of the Jingdong Suqian Marathon on April 2. For Xu, the race meant months of training and preparation. He ran about 30 to 40 kilometers each week ahead of the run. “The 800-meter run at school is more about speed while a marathon tests a runner’s endurance and psychological quality (心理素质)”, he said. When he felt tired during the race, he told himself to fight on. As well as one’s fighting spirit, kindness from the people also plays a part in helping runners get to the finish line. Li Zhouzi from Shanxi took part in a 3-kilometer Kid Run of the Berlin Marathon in Germany in 2019 when she was 10. The support from the people cheering along the course (跑道) really encouraged her. “When things were hard, they cheered me on.

She also found her greatest hobby—Peking Opera. Lulu watched Peking Opera for the first time in an opera museum. “I found it really fantastic,” she said. “Both the outfits (装束) and the movements were so wonderful. The face-painting was something I’d never seen before. It is so different from Western opera.” With great interest, she joined the Peking Opera group of Tsinghua University.

Mostly, they practice singing and movements.

He has retired(退休), but still works as a part-time fisherman. One day, about five years ago, when he was fishing, he found a tiny, sick penguin on the beach near his home. The penguin’s feathers(羽毛) were covered in oil. The poor bird was dying. Joao felt sorry for the sick, little bird, and so he took him back to his home. He cleaned him and fed him fish, and he gave him the name Din dim. The penguin soon became strong and healthy again. After a week or two, Joao went down to the coast and tried to put Din dim back into the water. The penguin didn’t want to go. He stayed with Joao, getting bigger and bigger—beautiful new feathers grew on his back. Eight months passed. Joao was very happy because he was enjoying the company of his new friend. Then suddenly, one day in February, Din dim disappeared. Joao was sad to lose him, but hoped that the bird just wanted to return to his penguin family. Four more months passed, Joao was walking sadly home from the beach, when suddenly he heard a familiar (熟悉的) “honking” sound—Din dim was back. Every year since then, Din dim spends eight months with Joao and then disappears for four months. Where does he go? It is thought that he swims 2, 500 miles to the coast of Argentina or Chile to start a penguin family and then swims 2, 500 miles to Joao. That’s 5, 000 miles a year to be with the man who saved his life. 149．What was the penguin like when Joao first met him? A．He was tiny and sick. B．He was strong and healthy.

Then a gentle autumn wind blew some more off the tree. I ran to pick them up. Whew! Pecan picking was hard. My basket was only half full. I was visiting my grandpa’s farm in Kansas, and Grandpa sent me into the woods to pick up pecans for us to enjoy later. I wasn’t about to let him down. Then something caught my eye: a squirrel picked up a pecan, climbed up a tree and disappeared into a large hole. A moment later, the squirrel climbed down to the ground to pick another pecan. Once again, he took the pecan back to his secret hiding place inside the hollow (洞) of the tree. Not so secret anymore, I thought. I ran over to the tree and found the hollow was filled with sweet pecans. They were right there for the taking. This was my chance. Handful by handful, I took all the pecans from the hollow. Now the basket was full! I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all of the pecans I’d collected. “Look, Grandpa,” I shouted, “look at all of the pecans I found!” Grandpa took a look at my basket. “Well, well, how did you find so many, Jimmy?” I told him how I’d followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place. Grandpa congratulated me on finding out something about the squirrel’s habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders. “That squirrel worked very hard to collect his winter food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold?” “I didn’t think about that,” I said. “I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take advantage of someone else’s hard work, even the squirrel’s.” Suddenly I felt as hollow as that old tree.

Give me now!” He suddenly said. How I wished I had some with me! “Oh, my little Tom, the monkeys are taking long to come out today.

Each year, around this time, I have mixed feelings about the job. After enjoying the warmth of my home for the winter months, I begin to miss the challenges of life in the bush. In the early hours of the morning, we join our team—normally 6 to 12 men and women. Some of us will be covered in suncream and dirt. Our trucks travel deep into the woodlands. When we step out of the trucks, we’re faced with a hillside that has just been logged (砍伐) and is covered with piles of logs (原木) and branches. We quickly fill our bags with hundreds of tiny trees. Skilled tree-planters treat this more like a sport than a job, and competition fills the air. Once our bags are full, we jump from log to log. We fall many times, always pushing ourselves to go faster. Daily pains get to us all. We feel uncomfortable in the heat, deal with cold at night and suffer from anger. But beautiful moments are always waiting. I remember, lying in my tent one night, listening to a pack of wolves howling in the distance. The season afterward I came across a bobcat that was sitting and calmly staring at us. I’ve worked with a 62-year-old tree-planting legend (传奇人物) called Grant—believed to have planted seven million trees in 40 years. Once he got caught in a rockslide and broke his back. It took him years to recover, but he came back stronger than ever. His passion (热爱) for the job reminds me of what I love about it. Tree planting is a laboratory of self-growth. You master your mind and face the worst and the best in your nature. A new version of yourself awaits at the end of the experience. And after sleeping in a tent all summer, you learn never to take your bed for granted. So value what you have had and face the challenges in your life with great passion. 135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 177．Why does the author plant trees? A．To be well-known.

My friend invited me to a European art exhibition in Shanghai. To be honest, I’m not interested in art paintings at all. I know very little about European art. So, at first, I refused to go to the exhibition. But finally I became excited to see the artworks of the famous artists like Monet(莫 奈) and Van Gogh(梵高). The exhibition included 52 artworks. It was really a different experience to see them face to face. My friend was happy to see so many different painting styles in one place. The visit made her remember the trip to Paris several years ago. She told me that art could be found in every corner of the city. Most of the visitors, I thought, had limited(有限的) knowledge about art, too. They were just busy taking pictures, and then showed everyone on WeChat that they had been there. Under the influence of my friend, who is an art lover, I began to look at the paintings carefully. One painting that moved me most was Van Gogh’s Long Grass With Butterflies. Those things such as grass, butterflies were quite common in my life. However, I had never thought they were worth attention. I had usually followed the crowd to see what was “special”.

Toys for Tots is a project which gives out toys to children whose parents cannot usually buy them toys. Kyle has donated more than 2, 000 toys to the project. And he plans to continue collecting toys for other kids for years to come. When Kyle was five, he asked his parents how he could help others. Kyle’s parents were excited to hear that and they helped him get in touch with Toys for Tots. From then on, he has looked forward to his birthday, but only to get toys. Then he collects the toys and goes to the Toys for Tots celebrations to donate them. John Minadakis, who hosted a Toys for Tots celebration, said he had never seen someone give so much at such a young age. He believed the ability to put others before himself could take the boy far in life. Kyle feels good when he helps others. He hopes that through his example, other kids will be inspired to give back. “Many people around my age don’t have toys to play with. I want to do something,” Kyle said. “Even the smallest toy can make a kid’s day.” 209．When is Kyle’s birthday? A．On December 19th. B．On November 12th.

He took a bottle of water out of his bag. I opened it for him easily, and he thanked me. But I felt quite shy when he said thanks to me. A week later, we started to receive military training(军训). We needed to gather at 6:30 a. m. every day. However, I was still in the bed at 6:00 on the first day. My roommate woke me up and I really thanked him. Luckily, neither of us was late for that day’s training. Later, I had a talk with him. “Perhaps we don’t have to say thanks to each other so often because we have become real friends.” I said. He thought over my words and nodded. Over the next three years, we continued to help each other, but we almost never said thank you. For many years, I didn’t think it was necessary to say thank you out loud. I also felt embarrassed(尴尬的) after I had been thanked for offering someone just a little bit of help. My attitude(态度) towards saying thanks didn’t change until I helped a group of kids. It was a tiring walk when I was on my way home after a day’s class. Some little kids threw the ball onto the tree by accident while playing football. They asked me for help, so I did. Then tho kids said “Thank you” one by one with big smiles on their faces when I handed the ball to them. I was surprised, but it really made me feel warm at that moment. I realized the importance of expressing thanks from then on. Showing thanks is a polite way for a conversation. It will let the other side know that you’re thankful for his or her action. So next time, when you feel thankful, express your thanks bravely. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 214．How did the writer feel when his roommate thanked him? A．Happy. B．Proud. C．Shy.

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.

I was a hard- working student and I did well in all subjects. I finished the question successfully until I read the last one: What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school? Of course I thought that must have been a joke. I saw the cleaning woman every day. She was short and about 50 years old. She had dark hair. But how could I know her name? I had never talked with her before. In fact, I’d never even thought about talking to her. I looked at my paper and started to feel rather guilty (内疚的). Finally, I handed in my paper, leaving the last one unanswered. Before the quiz ended, one student asked if the last question would be counted in our grades. “Of course,” the teacher said. “In your life, you will meet many people. They are all important. They deserve (值得) your attention and care, even if all you do is to smile and say hello.” I’ve never forgotten that lesson. Everyone deserves my attention and I should get to know all of the people who work and live around me. That was, perhaps, the most important lesson in my life.

From behind the bar, Blachut had a good view of the Lech river below, in which many people were cooling their feet. The water is very cold at this time of year, and it runs quickly.

He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp（煤油 灯）. Evans’ eyes hurt and this made studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason, so they remained poor for the rest of their lives. Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light can hurt people’s eyes. Besides, it can lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up. One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar（太阳能的）light.
