My older sister is a runner. She has always loved to run. She runs the 10-kilometre race. She’s a great runner. She used to be a pretty good sprinter (短跑选手), but one day all of that changed because of a little mistake she made.
She went to practice early in the morning. She was about to take off her running shoes when she found she had forgotten her sprinting shoes. Sprinting shoes are special because they’re small, light and have spikes on the bottom.
When her coach found out that she had forgotten her sprinting shoes he got mad. He ordered her to run laps around the track. So, off she went. Soon, she was running with other people who were on their long-distance practice runs.
The runners were moving fast. It surprised the coach to see that this girl could keep up. The long-distance coach asked the sprinting coach, “Who is that?” “That’s one of my sprinters,” he said. The two coaches were shocked to see the group of runners coming around the final corner with my sister in the lead!
Another girl was close to her for a while, but because of her sprinting ability, my sister seemed to just pull away from her. Her first time running a long-distance race and she came in first! The two coaches approached my sister. They were about to congratulate her when they looked down and realized she wasn’t wearing any shoes!
“Well, you told me to run and I thought you meant right away, so I just got up and ran,” she explained. “I can’t believe how comfortable it is to run without my feet stuffed inside those little sprinting shoes.”
From that moment on, my sister’s sprinting days were over. She was a natural long distance runner. She works hard and hopes to go to the Olympics one day. Who knows what might happen?
Who would have guessed that a little mistake would take my sister from being a good sprinter to being a great long- distance runner?
29. What mistake did the writer’s sister make?
A. She forgot to take her sprinting shoes.
B. She took off her running shoes too early.
C. She forgot to take off her sprinting shoes.
D. She ran a long-distance race without any shoes.
30. Why did the coach order her to run around the track?
A. Because it was her training for the Olympics.
B. Because she was good at long-distance running.
C. Because she was on her long-distance practice runs.
D. Because it was a punishment for not bringing proper shoes.
31. Which can be the best title of this story?
A. A strict coach. B. An excellent sprinter. C. A lucky mistake. D. A great long-distance runner.
C
How do you treat your books? Do you use a bookmark to avoid folding(折叠)a page and keep your books tidily on a shelf? Or perhaps you pay less attention to their condition — you’re happy to take notes down the margins(页边空白) of a page. What’s your idea — do you think they should always be kept in good condition?
Yes. Books deserve our respect.
It is important to care for your books. This is especially true if the book costs a lot of money or is given to you as a present. It also won’t last long if they are damaged(破坏). If a book is full of ripped(撕破的) pages, it is less possible that a friend will want to pick it up and read. If you donate it to a charity shop, it is less possible that someone will buy it. Over time, treating books badly could become a bad habit.
NO. It doesn’t matter if you just read.
One of the great things about an actual book is that readers can make it their own with notes. If it’s a gift, you can write a nice message. It can make a book feel personal and special to you. It doesn’t matter if this means that a book isn't in perfect condition — you can always buy a new copy if the old one gets too damaged. In the end, writers just want people to read their stories: they don’t mind how or where people do it.

32. What is the passage about?
A The discussion about how to treat our books with bookmarks. B. The discussion about whether we should keep books well.
C. The reasons for reading more books in daily life. D. The reasons for treating books in a friendly way.
33. What does the underlined(划线的) sentence mean?
A. Books are worth our respect. B. Books help us win respect.
C. Books teach us to show respect. D. Books catch people's attention.
34. According to the passage, someone may not want to pick the book to read if ________.
A. it costs a lot of money B. it is a present
C. it is full of ripped pages D. it is from a charity shop
35. Some people think keeping books in good condition is unimportant probably because ________.
A. they like untidy books better than those in good condition B. they would rather buy new copies than read old ones
C. they think books with messages may make people less interested D. they care more about writers’ stories than how books are kept

—No. I like playing________chess while my brother likes playing________baseball.
A. /; / B. /; the C. the; / D. the; the
【答案】A
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意：——你和你的弟弟有相同的爱好吗？——不。我喜欢下象棋而我的弟弟喜欢打棒球。
考查冠词用法。the是定冠词，修饰名词。在球类运动和棋类运动前不加冠词，第一个空后是“chess”“象棋”；第二个空后“baseball”是“棒球”，都不用冠词，故选A。
2. Great changes ___________ in our hometown.
A. has happened B. has taken place C. have taken place D. have been happened
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：我的家乡发生了很大的变化。
考查动词短语和主谓一致。take place表示“有准备的，预谋的发生”，happen表示“偶然的发生”。表示发生变化，用take place，主语Great changes是复数，因此助动词用have。故选C。
3. —What will the weather be like in Nanjing this weekend?
—It will snow and the temperature will fall ________ zero at -6°C.
A. under B. over C. above D. below
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：——这个周末南京的天气怎么样？——会下雪，并且气温会降到零下六度。
考查副词辨析。under在下面；over在……上面；above高于；below（数字或级别）在……以下。根据“It will snow and the temperature will fall...zero at -6°C.”可知，这周末南京会下雪，气温低于零摄氏度，会降至零下六度，所以此空选用below。故选D。
4. — Simon, what do I need to take for the hiking?
— You’d better ________ more water than usual. It’s hot today.
A. to take B. take C. taking D. took
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：——西蒙，为了徒步旅行我需要带什么？——你最好比平常多带些水。今天非常热。
考查非谓语动词。根据短语had better do sth.最好做某事，此处用动词原形take。故选B。
5. The bus ________ on the half way and I had to wait for ten minutes.
A. fell down B. came down
C. broke down D. calmed down
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：公交车在半路上出了故障，我不得不等了十分钟。
考查动词短语。fell down倒塌，跌倒；came down下来；broke down发生故障；calmed down冷静。根据“I had to wait for ten minutes”可知，我不得不等了十分钟，推测公车在半路上出故障了。此处用broke down表示“发生故障”。故选C。
6. —When did the classroom have a power cut?
—This morning, while we _______ a physics lesson.
A. have B. were having C. are having D. have had
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：——教室什么时候断电了？——今天早上，我们在上物理课的时候。
考查时态。根据语境可知，在上物理课时断电了，即物理课正在进行的过程中；又根据问句did可知是发生在过去，故用过去进行时。故选B。
7. —You ________ play with fire.
—You are right. Fire _______ be very dangerous sometimes.
A. shouldn’t; must B. may not; can C. mustn’t; can D. may not; must
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：——你禁止玩火。——你是对的。火有时可能是非常危险的。
考查情态动词辨析。shouldn’t不应该；must必须；may not不可能；can可能；mustn’t禁止。根据“play with fire” 可知第一空应为禁止玩火，而由“sometimes”可知第二空表猜测，故选C。
8. Nanjing isn’t as large _____ Shanghai, but it’s the second _____ city in East China.
A. like, largest B. as, largest
C. like, large D. as, large
【答案】B
【解析】
【分析】考点：考查连词及形容词最高级。
【详解】句意：南京不及上海大，然而它是华东地区第二大城市。as…as是固定句式；据比较范围in East China以及序数词后用最高级，故选最高级largest。据题意，故选B。
9. —I’m sorry, Mum. I can’t help you with the housework now.
—Never mind. ________, thank you very much.
A. However B. Otherwise C. Moreover D. Anyway
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：——对不起，妈妈。我现在不能帮你做家务。——没关系。不管怎样非常感谢。
考查副词辨析。However然而；Otherwise否则；Moreover此外；Anyway不管怎样，无论如何。根据“Never mind...thank you very much.”可知，此处虽然对方没有帮上忙，为了表示礼貌，此处应是表示“不管怎样还是要谢谢对方”，应用anyway，故选D。
10. The doctors did what they could ________ the girl who caught Covid-19.
A. to save B. saving C. save D. saved
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：医生们竭尽全力抢救了感染新冠肺炎的女孩。

A. a bit of boring B. a bit boring C. a bit bored D. a bit of bored
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：他说没有老朋友的生活是有点令人枯燥的。他明天将拜访一些他的老朋友。
考查副词和形容词的用法。a bit of一些，少量，后接不可数名词；a bit有点，修饰形容词； boring 无聊的，修饰物； bored 无聊的，修饰人；根据题目可知，此处是修饰形容词，表达“有点枯燥”，应用a bit修饰，排除A、D选项，又因语境分析，空白处修饰事情“ life without old friends”，应用boring。故选B。

12. He turned around _______ and found that his mother seemed ________.
A. quiet; sadly B. quietly; sad C. quiet; sad D. quietly; sadly
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：他悄悄地转过身来，发现母亲似乎很伤心。
考查形容词副词。quiet安静的，形容词；sadly伤心地；quietly安静地，副词；sad伤心的，形容词。第一空修饰动词短语，应用副词形式，第二空前“seemed”是系动词，后接形容词作表语，故选B。
13. — Mr Wang is kind ________ anyone in need of help.

A. for; of B. to; for C. to; of D. of; to

My older sister is a runner. She has always loved to run. She runs the 10-kilometre race. She’s a great runner. She used to be a pretty good sprinter (短跑选手), but one day all of that changed because of a little mistake she made.
She went to practice early in the morning. She was about to take off her running shoes when she found she had forgotten her sprinting shoes. Sprinting shoes are special because they’re small, light and have spikes on the bottom.
When her coach found out that she had forgotten her sprinting shoes he got mad. He ordered her to run laps around the track. So, off she went. Soon, she was running with other people who were on their long-distance practice runs.
The runners were moving fast. It surprised the coach to see that this girl could keep up. The long-distance coach asked the sprinting coach, “Who is that?” “That’s one of my sprinters,” he said. The two coaches were shocked to see the group of runners coming around the final corner with my sister in the lead!
Another girl was close to her for a while, but because of her sprinting ability, my sister seemed to just pull away from her. Her first time running a long-distance race and she came in first! The two coaches approached my sister. They were about to congratulate her when they looked down and realized she wasn’t wearing any shoes!
“Well, you told me to run and I thought you meant right away, so I just got up and ran,” she explained. “I can’t believe how comfortable it is to run without my feet stuffed inside those little sprinting shoes.”
From that moment on, my sister’s sprinting days were over. She was a natural long distance runner. She works hard and hopes to go to the Olympics one day. Who knows what might happen?
Who would have guessed that a little mistake would take my sister from being a good sprinter to being a great long- distance runner?

How do you treat your books? Do you use a bookmark to avoid folding(折叠)a page and keep your books tidily on a shelf? Or perhaps you pay less attention to their condition — you’re happy to take notes down the margins(页边空白) of a page. What’s your idea — do you think they should always be kept in good condition?
Yes. Books deserve our respect.
It is important to care for your books. This is especially true if the book costs a lot of money or is given to you as a present. It also won’t last long if they are damaged(破坏). If a book is full of ripped(撕破的) pages, it is less possible that a friend will want to pick it up and read. If you donate it to a charity shop, it is less possible that someone will buy it. Over time, treating books badly could become a bad habit.
NO. It doesn’t matter if you just read.
One of the great things about an actual book is that readers can make it their own with notes. If it’s a gift, you can write a nice message. It can make a book feel personal and special to you. It doesn’t matter if this means that a book isn't in perfect condition — you can always buy a new copy if the old one gets too damaged. In the end, writers just want people to read their stories: they don’t mind how or where people do it.

32. What is the passage about?
A. The discussion about how to treat our books with bookmarks. B. The discussion about whether we should keep books well.
C. The reasons for reading more books in daily life. D. The reasons for treating books in a friendly way.
33. What does the underlined(划线的) sentence mean?
A. Books are worth our respect. B. Books help us win respect.
C. Books teach us to show respect. D. Books catch people's attention.
34. According to the passage, someone may not want to pick the book to read if ________.
A. it costs a lot of money B. it is a present
C. it is full of ripped pages D. it is from a charity shop
35. Some people think keeping books in good condition is unimportant probably because ________.
A. they like untidy books better than those in good condition B. they would rather buy new copies than read old ones
C. they think books with messages may make people less interested D. they care more about writers’ stories than how books are kept
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D
