young. Now they really need to learn to read and write. So I wanted to give them a new starting point,” said Yang.
Most of Yang’s adult students are busy at work. They have to make the time to learn the lessons, so Yang
has two livestream lessons, starting at 8:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. every day. Yang’s live lessons show an easy way
for those adults who want to learn to read and write. Now she has nearly 300,000 followers on Douyin. Yang has

the ball hard and it landed in an old park next to the school. Judy ran to get it, but she fell over and hurt her knee.

you care about the kids. We are short of money. Could you help fix up the park in other ways? Think about it!”

lot. The children could not believe what they saw! Some trucks from different stores arrived one by one and
brought all the things they needed. That weekend, children, teachers and parents fixed up the park together.
After a week, the park was ready to open. When asked to name the park, Mrs. Ford’s class chose “Rainbow
Park”. “Rainbows are made up of lots of different colors,” Judy told the reporter. “A lot of different people made

重难语篇拔高练（24-25八年级上·江苏南通·期中）Have you watched the film Superman? I think you must know what
he looks like.
While not all heroes wear capes (斗篷) and Steve Montelongo proved the words. While he doesn’t
consider himself a hero, he has saved the lives of three people during the last 20 years.
The 80-year-old man pulled a man out of his sinking car after he had driven into a river carelessly.
Montelongo jumped up to help without any hesitation (犹豫) or thinking about his own health.
The accident happened while the elderly man was taking his granddaughter home after going to a dentist’s
(牙科诊所). They had stopped at a traffic light when they saw a car drive off the road into a river. Montelongo
quickly got out of his car to check out the scene and noticed that water began to fill the car, which would lead to
the death of the trapped driver. Without thinking about the danger and risk to his own health, the 80-year-old man
quickly walked to the river and managed to pull the 62-year-old Jack from the car by his shirt.
“I really don’t consider myself a hero. I was just a man that got put in the right place at the right time,”
Montelongo later said in an interview.
This, however, wasn’t Montelongo’s only act of heroism. Nearly 20 years ago, he helped two of his
neighbours get to safety as their house caught fire. He was 62 years old at the time and had to kick open their
neighbour’s front door to pull out 80-year-old Kathine Mattox and 79-year-old Wayne Maxwell. He was awarded
the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission medal for this bravery and act of heroism.
In my heart, heroes are not remembered by their superhuman strength or costumes. They are remembered
by their courage in face of fear and their ability to bring hope to people around. They also remind us that each of
us has power to make a difference and be a light in someone else’s darkness.
1．What’s the function (作用) of the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?
A．To describe heroes looks. B．To prove the writer’s idea.
C．To introduce the topic of the text. D．To show the writer’s feeling.
2．What was Montelongo doing when a car was driven into a river?
A．He was walking along the river.
B．He was jumping for doing some exercise.
C．He was waiting for the traffic lights to change.
D．He was taking his granddaughter to a dentisfs.
3．What can we infer (推断) about Montelongo from his words in the interview?
A．He is brave. B．He is proud. C．He is curious. D．He is modest.
