Passage 2(2021河北,A,6分)
10-year-old Mike is being interviewed on TV about his own cooking.
Mike, when did you start cooking
When I was four, I became interested in cooking. I started helping my mum in the kitchen when I was five. At the age of six, I could make vegetable salad. One year later, I could make a fruit pie all by myself.
What's the best way to get good at cooking
I don't go to cooking classes. Sometimes I watch videos on the phone. I often read books about cooking. Actually, I think the best way to improve my cooking is trying it again and again. If it is no good, I'll do it differently next time.
What do your parents think of your cooking
They're glad that they don't have to make dinner every day, and they enjoy my cooking—usually! But, you can't make everyone happy all the time.
Finally, what's it like being on TV
It's interesting. In fact, I really enjoy myself making the shows. They're watched by millions, but I still find it strange when people I don't know say hello to me in the street.

Passage 2(2019河北,D,10分)
What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the examination Right. A pen.
Though it is small, the pen has changed the history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools.
Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheel, the introduction of the steam engine(蒸汽机), the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of society.
In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time. The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus(纸莎草纸)was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts.
The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their examinations with it as well.
Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till we have signed. A pen records the important events in our life.
Let's remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument which man owns. The pen is a magic tool. Whenever you use it, enjoy it.
1.What is the writer trying to do in this passage
A.Describe what a pen looks like.　　　B.Introduce the history of the pen.
C.Advise people to prepare a new pen.　　　D.Show the importance of the pen.

C.stop social development　　　D.change the law of the country

A.before their thoughts were changed　　　B.when papyrus was first used
C.as soon as they recorded their names　　　D.after they took an important exam

Passage 3(2018河北,D,10分)
“Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person's life for the better, which makes everyone a better person,” Mason, a volunteer said.
National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity(机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization's expectations(期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.
The following tips can help if you have some of these worries:
★ Start out slowly, don't add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone's life.
★ Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.
★ Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.
★ Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot; he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization's expectations.
★ Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.
★ Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn't work, don't give up and you'll surely find the right opportunity.
Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people's lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience,“...little things can change a person's life.”
1.Volunteering can help　　　.
A.make a decision　　　B.see the world clearly

2.What could be the reason to stop people taking the first step

3.Which of the following can help people take the first step
A.Start out quickly.　　　B.Organize a training meeting.
C.Invite a friend to be with them.　　　D.Join in a group with different values.
4.The underlined word “veteran” in the passage means “　　　”.

Passage 1(2022河北,B,6分)
　　Last year I had a trip with my friend, Nancy. The weather was cloudy except for one night. Nancy and I sat in the field and we felt relaxed. We talked about the fantastic trip, looking at the stars. “It's a pity we don't know which stars we're looking at, Jenny,” said Nancy. “I know some of them,” I answered. Nancy felt surprised when I finally finished telling her all the names I knew.
My interest in stars began when I was eight. My aunt took me to a planetarium (天文馆). A guide showed us the groups of stars and told us stories about how they got their names. The stories were wonderful.
Everyone knows we can see the stars better when it's not cloudy, but lots of people don't realize that a bright moon also stops us seeing very much. I always look for the Plough (北斗星), because once I see that, I can find the North Star and other stars.
I wanted to learn more about the stars, so I took a course at the club. There are so many lights in the city that we have to go into the countryside to see any stars. I'm planning to make videos about stars in the countryside. I'll post them online for everyone to watch. My greatest dream is to be an astronaut (宇航员) and I wish I could have a space travel.
1.How did Nancy feel after Jenny told her the names of stars
A.Relaxed.　　　B.Surprised.　　　C.Angry.　　　D.Wonderful.
2.What is Jenny planning to do
A.Have a space travel.　　　B.Take courses online.
C.Make videos about stars.　　　D.Give a talk about names.
3.Which of the following would Jenny probably agree with
A.Students should move to the countryside.
B.Children's favorite hobby is to write stories.
C.The best place to watch stars is the city center.
D.A bright moon may stop people seeing very much.
Passage 2(2021河北,B,6分)
　　Mary was in bed, feeling sleepy. She read the first few words of her book,“The dodo(渡渡鸟) was a bird that couldn't fly...”, and soon she fell fast asleep.
Whoosh! The window flew wide open. Mary sat up, and through the window she saw a dodo, an unusual dodo, right there in her yard!
“I lived over four hundred years ago,” the dodo said. “But then terrible things happened. People cut down the forests, so we had nothing to eat. We all died.” The dodo felt sad.
Suddenly, a mammoth(猛犸) rushed in. It said, “I've been looking for you, Dodo! I lived thousands of years ago, but not now.” It added, “Scientists think the weather changed, changing the environment where we lived. We ate grass, but as the weather grew warmer, forests spread and there was less grass to eat.”
Seconds later, an elephant bird came. It said proudly, “I'm the heaviest bird that's ever lived. I weigh half a ton. But we lived on earth over a thousand years ago.”
The animals all looked sad. Before they had time to say another word, a tiger came in. “My friends,”it said, showing its big teeth. “I hear what you are talking about. We tigers are lucky. Now there are some special places for us animals who are in danger. We are safe and no one can hurt us there.”
“Sounds great!” thought Mary. “Animals should have more of this kind of places!”
The window blew shut, and Mary woke up with a start. There was no one and nothing to see, except the book in her hand.

Passage 6(2018河北,B,8分)
Edward rose early on the New-year morning. He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet.
When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars.
His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore.
He left the house with a light heart, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family.
“I wish you a Happy New Year,” said Edward, as he was passing on. The man shook his head.
“You are not from this country,” said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak his language. But he pointed to his mouth and to the children shaking with cold, as if (好像) to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”
Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife.
They were excited and said something in their language, which doubtless meant, “We thank you so much that we will remember you all the time.”
When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up.
“I have bought no books,” said he,“I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry then.” He went on, “I think I can wait for my books till next New Year.”
“My dear boy,” said his father, “here are some books for you, more as a prize for your goodness of heart than as a New-year gift.”
“I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family. It was nice for a little boy to do so. Be always ready to help others and every year of your life will be to you a Happy New Year.”

Passage 1(2022河北,D,10分)
　　Nobody wants to lose, but we must accept that losing is a part of life. After all, we can't win all the time. However, we can learn something valuable from every failure(失败). This may help us succeed in the future. So we must know how to be a good loser.
We must not be afraid of losing. When we lose, just take it with a smile and look on the bright side of it. Failure can't be avoided in our life. Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb (灯泡). When he was asked how he felt, he said that he hadn't failed 10,000 times but had learned 10,000 things which didn't work. We must know that history is full of examples of men and women who achieved success although they failed many times.
Losing is not very disgraceful. We must accept our failure and learn to take advantage of it. Remember that it can be helpful. Take action to walk out of it. When we lose, think about what we did and how we can improve. If someone else can help, we'll be lucky enough. Maybe he or she has been through the same experience before. Many people enjoy helping others solve problems. This can save us a lot of time in learning how to avoid the same mistakes in the future.
We should face our failure when we lose. There is only one winner in every competition. Some win, while some lose. That is a usual way of life. If we offer our congratulations (祝贺) to the winners and share in their happiness, we won't feel sorry for our failure.
In a word, being a good loser will help us to succeed in life. It might be painful at the beginning, but there are many advantages. Good losers set examples to us, and most importantly, they finally win.
1.What can we learn from every failure according to the text
A.A way of life.　　　B.A valuable thing.　　　C.A general rule.　　　D.A secret of success.
2.In the writer's eyes, why did Edison achieve success
A.He got help from others.　　　B.He happened to make it.
C.He avoided possible mistakes.　　　D.He saw the bright side of losing.
3.What does the underlined word “disgraceful” probably mean
A.Bad.　　　B.Personal.　　　C.Dangerous.　　　D.Interesting.
4.What does the writer advise the losers to do in a competition
A.Express the regrets.　　　B.Forget the failure.
C.Share in the winners' enjoyment.　　　D.Join in another competition.
5.What is the best title for the text
A.Ideas about How to Avoid Mistakes　　　B.Experience in Dealing with Problems
C.Advice on How to Be a Good Loser　　　D.Advantages of both Success and Failure
Passage 2(2021河北,D,10分)
　　Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.
But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的) action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you'll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
This is the famous formula(公式) for success:
Dream > Believe> Achieve
Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula:
Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve
For me, act is the most important thing for success, and that's to Take Persistent Action (Act). If you say “I can't do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I'll try” creates wonders. Let's remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.
1.What should you do when you find your lessons very hard
A.Ask people for help.　　　B.Try and keep trying.
C.Get ready to create wonders.　　　D.Prepare for a harder one.
2.Which does the writer add to the famous formula
A.Act.　　　B.Achieve.　　　C.Connect.　　　D.Create.
3.What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean
A.Dangers.　　　B.Imaginations.
C.Wonders.　　　D.Difficulties.
4.Why does the writer use the formula “Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve”
A.To support his idea.　　　B.To ask readers to explain it.
C.To show what his goals are.　　　D.To compare it with a bridge.
5.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A.Doing Something Valuable　　　B.Studying Hard and Making Progress
C.Realizing Dreams with Persistent Action　　　D.Separating Successful People from Dreamers
Passage 3(2020河北,D,10分)
Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another. That's why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it.
For example, what would we do without a community fire station If a home catches fire, as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down and people get hurt...or worse. We're so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire, safely. If the fire station hadn't come so fast, the Jacksons might have lost everything.
And what about our local police who protect our families, our homes and valuable things The police have helped so many families this past year, especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains.
Think about all the other service workers we have in this community. We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary. We have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors, and nurses in our community hospitals
Think again about what we eat every day, think again about what we wear every day. We cannot produce them, but we use them all the time. We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Let's support each other and help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place.

Passage 2(2022石家庄一模)
You may be told before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often connected with weakness. Fear is something to be avoided. But that's not true. Fear can be good for us.
Fear tells us about danger. Without fear, we will not realize we should run away from a tiger or step back from a high place. Researchers said that a healthy fear of crime(犯罪) keeps teenagers away from dangerous people, places and activities.
Fear makes us jump, shake and cry. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride(过山车). Kerr, a researcher, from the US, explained why to us. Fear fills our brain with healthy chemicals, and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us. Besides, when we are scared, our bodies will produce a chemical which helps us bond with each other. “Watch people walking out of a haunted house(鬼屋), and you'll see lots of smiles and high fives,” Kerr said. That also explains why schools organize some challenging(有挑战性的) trips and physical activities to build up students' team spirit.
People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you get scared easily, don't worry. Because being scared can help a person manage difficult situations. Kerr said that the fear of things like giving a report in front of your class or performing in a school play can help us be more confident. Also, if you become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, you'll be better able to work through it during difficult situations.
So, learn to love fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is.
1.Why are scary books and movies helpful to people according to the passage
A.Because they tell people how to keep away from fear.
B.Because they teach people to be more confident in life.
C.Because they help students stay away from dangerous people.
D.Because they make the brain produce chemicals that excite people.
2.The underlined words “bond with” would probably mean 　　　
A.get closer to　　　B.fight against
C.pay attention to　　　D.communicate with
3.What is the right attitude to fear according to the passage
A.Avoiding all the scary situations.
B.Experiencing it as often as possible.
C.Considering it as a sign of weakness.
D.Enjoying the healthy fear sometimes.
4.What is the passage mainly about
A.A new study about fear.　　　B.The advantages fear brings us.
C.Different ways people deal with fear.　　D.People's misunderstandings about fear.
Passage 3(2022石家庄一模)
Life is like a journey. None of us can predict the destination(终点) of this journey. During this journey, we will enjoy the beautiful scenery and encounter bad weather with thunderstorms. People have different experiences, but in this journey, we all have to face all kinds of situations. No matter what we experience, we should have a dream and hold it until the end of our journey.
We can't set our goals too high, which will only make us have no time to enjoy ourselves along the way. Every day, we have to move forward in a hurry, just like climbing countless mountains. When we climb a mountain, there are many higher mountains waiting for us. That way, we are likely to give up our dreams, because it seems impossible for us to reach the peak. We should start from our own reality and enjoy the beauty of life. We should not always live for our goals. We should also live for ourselves.
Learn to love. During the journey of life, we are not alone. There are many people with us, family, friends, teachers and so on. They give us love and care and we should love and respect them, including strangers. Be nice to others and the world will be nice to us.
Treat the journey of life calmly and patiently, wait for the flowers to bloom and fall, and enjoy the clouds. The beauty of peace of mind is even more fascinating. A calm heart is like a blue and clear sky without dark clouds, like a clear pool of water without any pollution, and like the spring light on green leaves, giving us hope and courage.
All in all, we should cherish everyone, everything and every scenery we see. Life is too short. Be kind to yourself, live in the present and let life show its beauty. Please feel the scenery along the way with your heart!
1.What does the underlined word “encounter” mean
A.Meet.　　　B.Change.　　　C.Invent.　　　D.Suggest.
2.Why can't we set our goals too high

Passage 2(2022石家庄一模)
One day, Mrs. Smith was sitting in the doctor's waiting room when a young boy and his mother came in. The young boy caught Mrs. Smith's attention because he wore a patch(眼罩) over one eye. She felt surprised at how natural he seemed to be even though he lost one of his eyes.
As they were waiting. Mrs. Smith took a chance to ask the little boy what happened to his eye. He thought about her question for a while, and then replied, lifting the patch, “There's nothing wrong with my eye. I'm a pirate(海盗)!” Then he returned to his game.

Passage 4(2022石家庄二模)
Suppose that you have some free time to kill. There is an enjoyable short video to watch and an interesting 1,000-word article to read. You can only choose one of the two. Which one will you pick
Perhaps the video will be your choice. Over the past few years, watching videos online has become a part of many people's daily lives. The number of people who read long articles patiently has decreased. Some people fear that videos will one day take the place of texts. But in my opinion, this isn't going to happen.
Videos can help us learn new information more quickly. However, can they help us fully learn about the ancient world Many historical stories were recorded using only texts. Only through the reading of these texts can we truly and fully learn about what happened in the ancient world and the knowledge people had got.
Short videos are a type of “instant culture”. They come into and leave our minds like flying cars. Often, we can't help looking for a second video at once after we've finished watching one. But can we always remember and understand the contents(内容) of these videos When we read a long article patiently, we often pay close attention to the contents. What's more, texts allow us to use our imagination, while videos don't.
In a word, videos might change the way people learn about the world and the way they make themselves happy, but texts will never be replaced. Texts are like immortal(不朽的) stars which shine from the past to the future.
1.Why does the writer think people will choose to watch a short video
A.The 1,000-word article is not interesting at all.
B.Watching videos takes up too much time.
C.Fewer people can patiently read long articles.
D.Videos have taken the place of texts.
2.How can people fully learn about the ancient world according to the writer
A.By reading texts.　　　B.By using imagination.
C.By watching videos.　　　D.By talking with old people.
3.What does the underlined word “instant” mean
A.Slow.　　　B.Quick.　　　C.Small.　　　D.Big.
4.What is the writer trying to do in the passage
A.To give advice.　　　B.To ask for help.
C.To express feelings.　　　D.To show ideas.
5.Which of the following can be the best title
A.Texts Will Never Be Replaced
B.Texts—a Way to Learn about Past
C.Videos Are Enjoyable and Popular
D.Videos—the Best to Kill Free Time

On the first school day, Socrates told his students, “Today, we'll only learn one thing; that is to stretch(向前伸) your arms, and then try to swing(摆动) them backward.” He showed them, and as a result, all the students laughed. “Sir, is it also needed to be learned ” one of the students asked.
“Of course! You think this is a simple thing, but it is difficult,” Socrates replied seriously. Hearing this, the students laughed even harder.

Ten days later, Socrates asked, “Who still sticks to swinging his arms ” About 80 % of the students put up their hands. Twenty days later, Socrates asked again, about 50% of them raised their hands. Three months later, Socrates asked again, “Who still insists on(坚持) that simple action ” This time, only one student raised his hand. He was Plato, the great thinker.

Passage 3(2022山东东营)
Do you know you have more than 600 muscles(肌肉) in your body These muscles have different jobs. Keeping your muscles healthy will help you be able to walk, run, jump and do all the things you love to do.
What kind of muscles do you have
When you think about your muscles, you probably think about the ones you can control. These are your voluntary(随意的) muscles. They are connected to your bones(骨骼) and work together with your bones to help you walk, run, pick up things or ride a bicycle. The muscles of your mouth and throat even help you talk! But there are also muscles you can't control. They are your involuntary(不随意的) muscles, such as your heart muscle and smooth muscles.
Why are healthy muscles important
Healthy muscles let you move freely and keep your body strong. They also help to keep your joints(关节) in good shape. If the muscles around your knee, for example, get weak, you will more probably injure(伤害) that knee. Healthy muscles also help you keep your balance, so you less probably fall.
How do you keep your muscles healthy
·Get at least 60 minutes of physical exercise every day. There are lots of activities you can do for your muscles. Walking, jumping, dancing and swimming are all good ways.

·Prevent injuries. There are many ways to help prevent muscle injuries. For example, doing warm-up exercises before exercising may make the muscles warmer. Don't try to “play through the pain.” If something starts to hurt, stop exercising or playing. When you lift something heavy, keep your back straight and bend(弯曲) your knees to lift it. This will protect the muscles in your back. Remember to drink lots of water while exercising, especially in warm weather. If your body's water level gets too low, you could get dizzy(晕眩的) or even pass out.

Passage 4(2022石家庄一模)
Social media(社交媒体) is certainly an interesting place to learn others' opinions. You can read everything from strange ideas to true facts and everything in between. But when you're spending time online and reading so many opinions, it's quite possible that you'll sometimes see someone write something that you strongly disagree with.
In fact, you might feel it so strongly that you should reply to this person at once. You might do some research, find some facts and reply to what they've written. You finish writing out your reply, click(点击) “Post” and win the argument!
Except that it's not really much of a victory(胜利). Most people don't like it when other people disagree with their ideas, especially online strangers. It's unlikely that they will change their opinion just because you argued with them. In fact, it's possible that you made them feel more confident that they're correct.
And the thing is, when you get in these kinds of fights online, it slowly influences you.

Passage 2(2022承德一模)
One Thursday afternoon, when I was in Grade 9, a new boy came into my classroom. He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn't think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn't the type I would like to become friends with.
During that year, I didn't talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.
But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong.
“Haven't you got any friends ” a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down.
“No, he hasn't got any friends. He's too stupid and shy,” I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment.
That night, I couldn't sleep because I couldn't get Christian's face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive(原谅) me. But I thought I should.
The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. “You will never realize what your apology(道歉) has meant to me, Jimmy,” he said to me. “I hope we can become friends.”
We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had. Over the years at high school, we were close friends.
When I think back, I realize that, if I had not apologized, I would never have known what a lovely person Christian was. Apologies can really change your life, so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry.
1.From the passage, we know Christian was a 　　　boy.
A.tall and fat　　　B.short and shy　　　C.short and active　　　D.lovely and fat
2.Jimmy didn't talk to Christian much at first because 　　　.
A.he didn't think Christian was the type he wanted to become friends with

Mike, when did you start cooking
When I was four, I became interested in cooking. I started helping my mum in the kitchen when I was five. At the age of six, I could make vegetable salad. One year later, I could make a fruit pie all by myself.
What's the best way to get good at cooking
I don't go to cooking classes. Sometimes I watch videos on the phone. I often read books about cooking. Actually, I think the best way to improve my cooking is trying it again and again. If it is no good, I'll do it differently next time.
What do your parents think of your cooking
They're glad that they don't have to make dinner every day, and they enjoy my cooking—usually! But, you can't make everyone happy all the time.
Finally, what's it like being on TV
It's interesting. In fact, I really enjoy myself making the shows. They're watched by millions, but I still find it strange when people I don't know say hello to me in the street.

Passage 2(2019河北,D,10分)
What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the examination Right. A pen.
Though it is small, the pen has changed the history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools.
Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheel, the introduction of the steam engine(蒸汽机), the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of society.
In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time. The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus(纸莎草纸)was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts.
The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their examinations with it as well.
Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till we have signed. A pen records the important events in our life.
Let's remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument which man owns. The pen is a magic tool. Whenever you use it, enjoy it.
1.What is the writer trying to do in this passage
A.Describe what a pen looks like.　　　B.Introduce the history of the pen.
C.Advise people to prepare a new pen.　　　D.Show the importance of the pen.
2.The word “mountains”in the third paragraph refers to(指代)“something to　　　”.
A.explain the use of electricity　　　B.lower the students' scores
C.stop social development　　　D.change the law of the country
3.The lawyers started to write the law of the country　　　.
A.before their thoughts were changed　　　B.when papyrus was first used
C.as soon as they recorded their names　　　D.after they took an important exam
4.The underlined word “utilitarian” in the passage means “　　　”.
A.cheap　　　B.boring　　　C.special　　　D.useful
5.What is the best title for this passage
A.A Powerful Tool　　　B.An Important Law　　　C.A Valuable Record　　　D.An Exciting Event

Passage 3(2018河北,D,10分)
“Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person's life for the better, which makes everyone a better person,” Mason, a volunteer said.
National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity(机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization's expectations(期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.
The following tips can help if you have some of these worries:
★ Start out slowly, don't add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone's life.
★ Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.
★ Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.
★ Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot; he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization's expectations.
★ Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.
★ Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn't work, don't give up and you'll surely find the right opportunity.
Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people's lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience,“...little things can change a person's life.”

Passage 1(2022河北,B,6分)
　　Last year I had a trip with my friend, Nancy. The weather was cloudy except for one night. Nancy and I sat in the field and we felt relaxed. We talked about the fantastic trip, looking at the stars. “It's a pity we don't know which stars we're looking at, Jenny,” said Nancy. “I know some of them,” I answered. Nancy felt surprised when I finally finished telling her all the names I knew.
My interest in stars began when I was eight. My aunt took me to a planetarium (天文馆). A guide showed us the groups of stars and told us stories about how they got their names. The stories were wonderful.
Everyone knows we can see the stars better when it's not cloudy, but lots of people don't realize that a bright moon also stops us seeing very much. I always look for the Plough (北斗星), because once I see that, I can find the North Star and other stars.
I wanted to learn more about the stars, so I took a course at the club. There are so many lights in the city that we have to go into the countryside to see any stars. I'm planning to make videos about stars in the countryside. I'll post them online for everyone to watch. My greatest dream is to be an astronaut (宇航员) and I wish I could have a space travel.

　　Mary was in bed, feeling sleepy. She read the first few words of her book,“The dodo(渡渡鸟) was a bird that couldn't fly...”, and soon she fell fast asleep.
Whoosh! The window flew wide open. Mary sat up, and through the window she saw a dodo, an unusual dodo, right there in her yard!
“I lived over four hundred years ago,” the dodo said. “But then terrible things happened. People cut down the forests, so we had nothing to eat. We all died.” The dodo felt sad.
Suddenly, a mammoth(猛犸) rushed in. It said, “I've been looking for you, Dodo! I lived thousands of years ago, but not now.” It added, “Scientists think the weather changed, changing the environment where we lived. We ate grass, but as the weather grew warmer, forests spread and there was less grass to eat.”
Seconds later, an elephant bird came. It said proudly, “I'm the heaviest bird that's ever lived. I weigh half a ton. But we lived on earth over a thousand years ago.”
The animals all looked sad. Before they had time to say another word, a tiger came in. “My friends,”it said, showing its big teeth. “I hear what you are talking about. We tigers are lucky. Now there are some special places for us animals who are in danger. We are safe and no one can hurt us there.”
“Sounds great!” thought Mary. “Animals should have more of this kind of places!”

Passage 6(2018河北,B,8分)
Edward rose early on the New-year morning. He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet.
When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars.
His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore.
He left the house with a light heart, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family.
“I wish you a Happy New Year,” said Edward, as he was passing on. The man shook his head.
“You are not from this country,” said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak his language. But he pointed to his mouth and to the children shaking with cold, as if (好像) to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”
Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife.
They were excited and said something in their language, which doubtless meant, “We thank you so much that we will remember you all the time.”
When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up.
“I have bought no books,” said he,“I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry then.” He went on, “I think I can wait for my books till next New Year.”
“My dear boy,” said his father, “here are some books for you, more as a prize for your goodness of heart than as a New-year gift.”
“I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family. It was nice for a little boy to do so. Be always ready to help others and every year of your life will be to you a Happy New Year.”

Passage 1(2022河北,D,10分)
　　Nobody wants to lose, but we must accept that losing is a part of life. After all, we can't win all the time. However, we can learn something valuable from every failure(失败). This may help us succeed in the future. So we must know how to be a good loser.
We must not be afraid of losing. When we lose, just take it with a smile and look on the bright side of it. Failure can't be avoided in our life. Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb (灯泡). When he was asked how he felt, he said that he hadn't failed 10,000 times but had learned 10,000 things which didn't work. We must know that history is full of examples of men and women who achieved success although they failed many times.
Losing is not very disgraceful. We must accept our failure and learn to take advantage of it. Remember that it can be helpful. Take action to walk out of it. When we lose, think about what we did and how we can improve. If someone else can help, we'll be lucky enough. Maybe he or she has been through the same experience before. Many people enjoy helping others solve problems. This can save us a lot of time in learning how to avoid the same mistakes in the future.
We should face our failure when we lose. There is only one winner in every competition. Some win, while some lose. That is a usual way of life. If we offer our congratulations (祝贺) to the winners and share in their happiness, we won't feel sorry for our failure.
In a word, being a good loser will help us to succeed in life. It might be painful at the beginning, but there are many advantages. Good losers set examples to us, and most importantly, they finally win.
1.What can we learn from every failure according to the text
A.A way of life.　　　B.A valuable thing.　　　C.A general rule.　　　D.A secret of success.
2.In the writer's eyes, why did Edison achieve success
A.He got help from others.　　　B.He happened to make it.
C.He avoided possible mistakes.　　　D.He saw the bright side of losing.
3.What does the underlined word “disgraceful” probably mean
A.Bad.　　　B.Personal.　　　C.Dangerous.　　　D.Interesting.
4.What does the writer advise the losers to do in a competition
A.Express the regrets.　　　B.Forget the failure.
C.Share in the winners' enjoyment.　　　D.Join in another competition.
5.What is the best title for the text
A.Ideas about How to Avoid Mistakes　　　B.Experience in Dealing with Problems
C.Advice on How to Be a Good Loser　　　D.Advantages of both Success and Failure
答案

Passage 2(2021河北,D,10分)
　　Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.
But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的) action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you'll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
This is the famous formula(公式) for success:
Dream > Believe> Achieve
Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula:
Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve
For me, act is the most important thing for success, and that's to Take Persistent Action (Act). If you say “I can't do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I'll try” creates wonders. Let's remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.
1.What should you do when you find your lessons very hard
A.Ask people for help.　　　B.Try and keep trying.
C.Get ready to create wonders.　　　D.Prepare for a harder one.
2.Which does the writer add to the famous formula
A.Act.　　　B.Achieve.　　　C.Connect.　　　D.Create.
3.What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean
A.Dangers.　　　B.Imaginations.
C.Wonders.　　　D.Difficulties.
4.Why does the writer use the formula “Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve”
A.To support his idea.　　　B.To ask readers to explain it.
C.To show what his goals are.　　　D.To compare it with a bridge.
5.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A.Doing Something Valuable　　　B.Studying Hard and Making Progress
C.Realizing Dreams with Persistent Action　　　D.Separating Successful People from Dreamers
答案　
语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。作者阐述了对梦想的看法,并指出锲而不舍的行动是实现梦想的保证。
1.B　细节理解题。由第二段的You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you'll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with.可知,当你发现你的功课很难的时候,努力再努力,你就会克服你遇到的任何困难。故答案为B。
2.A　细节理解题。著名的成功公式为:Dream>Believe>Achieve;作者添加后的成功公式为:Dream>Believe>Act>Achieve。由此可知,作者添加了Act。故答案为A。
3.D　词义猜测题。画线单词所在句的下一句We must face them bravely and solve them.中的them指代画线单词。由本句句意“我们必须勇敢面对它们和解决它们。”可推测,画线单词的词义为“困难”。故答案为D。
4.A　推理判断题。作者的主要观点是锲而不舍的行动是实现梦想的保证,而作者使用加上“Act”的公式是为了支持他的观点。故答案为A。
5.C　标题归纳题。本文阐述了作者对梦想的看法,并指出锲而不舍的行动是实现梦想的保证。故答案为C。
Passage 3(2020河北,D,10分)
Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another. That's why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it.
For example, what would we do without a community fire station If a home catches fire, as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down and people get hurt...or worse. We're so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire, safely. If the fire station hadn't come so fast, the Jacksons might have lost everything.
And what about our local police who protect our families, our homes and valuable things The police have helped so many families this past year, especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains.
Think about all the other service workers we have in this community. We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary. We have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors, and nurses in our community hospitals
Think again about what we eat every day, think again about what we wear every day. We cannot produce them, but we use them all the time.

Passage 2(2022石家庄一模)
You may be told before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often connected with weakness. Fear is something to be avoided. But that's not true. Fear can be good for us.
Fear tells us about danger. Without fear, we will not realize we should run away from a tiger or step back from a high place. Researchers said that a healthy fear of crime(犯罪) keeps teenagers away from dangerous people, places and activities.
Fear makes us jump, shake and cry. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride(过山车). Kerr, a researcher, from the US, explained why to us. Fear fills our brain with healthy chemicals, and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us. Besides, when we are scared, our bodies will produce a chemical which helps us bond with each other. “Watch people walking out of a haunted house(鬼屋), and you'll see lots of smiles and high fives,” Kerr said. That also explains why schools organize some challenging(有挑战性的) trips and physical activities to build up students' team spirit.
People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you get scared easily, don't worry. Because being scared can help a person manage difficult situations. Kerr said that the fear of things like giving a report in front of your class or performing in a school play can help us be more confident. Also, if you become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, you'll be better able to work through it during difficult situations.
So, learn to love fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is.
1.Why are scary books and movies helpful to people according to the passage
A.Because they tell people how to keep away from fear.
B.Because they teach people to be more confident in life.
C.Because they help students stay away from dangerous people.
D.Because they make the brain produce chemicals that excite people.
2.The underlined words “bond with” would probably mean 　　　
A.get closer to　　　B.fight against
C.pay attention to　　　D.communicate with
3.What is the right attitude to fear according to the passage
A.Avoiding all the scary situations.
B.Experiencing it as often as possible.
C.Considering it as a sign of weakness.
D.Enjoying the healthy fear sometimes.
4.What is the passage mainly about
A.A new study about fear.　　　B.The advantages fear brings us.
C.Different ways people deal with fear.　　D.People's misunderstandings about fear.
答案　
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。作者阐述了恐惧对我们的好处。
1.D　细节理解题。由第三段第五句Fear fills our brain with healthy chemicals, and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us.可知,恐惧会让我们的大脑产生令人兴奋的化学物质。故选D。
2.A　词义猜测题。由第三段最后一句That also explains why schools organize some challenging trips and physical activities to build up students' team spirit.可知,当人们感受到恐惧时,身体会产生一些有利于加强人与人之间联系的化学物质。由此可推知,bond with意为“与……联系紧密”。get closer to更靠近;更亲密。故选A。
3.D　推理判断题。由最后一段第一句So, learn to love fear.可知,我们要学会享受恐惧。故选D。
4.B　主旨大意题。本文主要阐述了恐惧对我们的好处。故选B。
Passage 3(2022石家庄一模)
Life is like a journey. None of us can predict the destination(终点) of this journey. During this journey, we will enjoy the beautiful scenery and encounter bad weather with thunderstorms. People have different experiences, but in this journey, we all have to face all kinds of situations. No matter what we experience, we should have a dream and hold it until the end of our journey.
We can't set our goals too high, which will only make us have no time to enjoy ourselves along the way. Every day, we have to move forward in a hurry, just like climbing countless mountains. When we climb a mountain, there are many higher mountains waiting for us. That way, we are likely to give up our dreams, because it seems impossible for us to reach the peak. We should start from our own reality and enjoy the beauty of life. We should not always live for our goals. We should also live for ourselves.
Learn to love. During the journey of life, we are not alone. There are many people with us, family, friends, teachers and so on. They give us love and care and we should love and respect them, including strangers. Be nice to others and the world will be nice to us.
Treat the journey of life calmly and patiently, wait for the flowers to bloom and fall, and enjoy the clouds. The beauty of peace of mind is even more fascinating. A calm heart is like a blue and clear sky without dark clouds, like a clear pool of water without any pollution, and like the spring light on green leaves, giving us hope and courage.
All in all, we should cherish everyone, everything and every scenery we see. Life is too short. Be kind to yourself, live in the present and let life show its beauty. Please feel the scenery along the way with your heart!
1.What does the underlined word “encounter” mean
A.Meet.　　　B.Change.　　　C.Invent.　　　D.Suggest.
