Slowly but surely, Amy and her grandparents were making progress. Boxes of all sizes were placed on top of each other throughout the house. Amy’s grandparents had lived in the house for years and they had collected many things.
The dining room was full of memories. Amy’s grandfather kept many fine dinner plates（盘子）from his hometown. Amy remembered that they ate from the red, yellow, and blue plates during important holidays.
After carefully wrapping up（包裹）the plates and putting them into a box, Amy lifted it up and moved it out of the way. But the box was too heavy. It suddenly fell from her arms and dropped to the floor. All three of them heard the plates shatter.
“ I’m sorry! ” Amy apologised.
“ It’s okay, ” her grandfather said quietly. “ It was an accident. ”
They opened the box and, sure enough, many of the plates were broken. Only a few remained whole. Looking at the small pieces, Amy felt really terrible. She knew these plates were passed down from her great grandparents and …
“ Don’t worry, ” her grandmother said, patting her on the back. Carefully, they put the broken pieces into a rubbish bag.

Amy looked at the bag in her hands as an idea came to her. “ This, ” she said, “ is an art project. ”
The following day, Amy went to an art store and bought everything she needed. Then she started to work. She used a thin board as the base. Then she took out the colourful plate pieces and glued them in a creative way on the board. When it was dry, Amy wrapped it up.
A few days later, Amy’s family had a big dinner at her grandparents’ new house. She handed her gift to her grandparents.

Calvin needs to go to New York for a meeting this Saturday. It's sunny. It's his first time to go to New York, so he doesn't know his way around New York. The meeting is in Peterson Building on 34th Street and it starts at ten o'clock. He wants to get there on time, so he asks two American boys for help.
“Excuse me, could you tell me where 34th Street is ” asks Calvin.
“Sure,” answers one of the boys. “It's not far from here. And you can just walk along this street and turn left at the first crossing. Then you can see it on your right.”
“No. Don't listen to him. He is not telling you the right place. You can just take the No.7 bus and get off at the third stop,” says the other boy. Then the first boy says, “OK. But the third stop is not 34th Street. It's 35th Street.”
At this time, Calvin finds that there's only five minutes left(剩下). Then he gets into a taxi and leaves.After that, Calvin thinks he should ask a policeman for help next time.

【31题详解】
细节理解。By bike.乘自行车；By bus.乘公共汽车；By taxi乘出租车；By subway.乘地铁。根据文中“You can just take the No.7 bus and get off at the third stop,” says the other boy.”可知，你可以坐7路公共汽车在第三站下车。可知，这里是乘坐公共汽车。故选B。

推理判断。根据文中“The meeting is in Peterson Building on 34th Street and it starts at ten o'clock. 及下文Calvin finds that there's only five minutes left(剩下).”可知，会议10点开始，还剩下5分钟，所以Calvin在9：55.离开了那两个男孩。故选C。
【33题详解】
词句猜测。根据文中“After that, Calvin thinks he should ask a policeman for help next time.” 之后，卡尔文认为他下次应该向警察求助。可知选项D符合，遇到问题时，找到最好的方法是很重要的。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解。根据文中“Calvin needs to go to New York for a meeting this Saturday. It's sunny. It's his first time to go to New York, so he doesn't know his way around New York.，Calvin” 卡尔文这个星期六要去纽约开会。天气晴朗。这是他第一次去纽约，所以他不知道在纽约的路。可知，这里是Calvin第一次到纽约。故选D。

（2022·广东广州·中考真题）
Slowly but surely, Amy and her grandparents were making progress. Boxes of all sizes were placed on top of each other throughout the house. Amy’s grandparents had lived in the house for years and they had collected many things.
The dining room was full of memories. Amy’s grandfather kept many fine dinner plates（盘子）from his hometown. Amy remembered that they ate from the red, yellow, and blue plates during important holidays.
After carefully wrapping up（包裹）the plates and putting them into a box, Amy lifted it up and moved it out of the way. But the box was too heavy. It suddenly fell from her arms and dropped to the floor. All three of them heard the plates shatter.
“ I’m sorry! ” Amy apologised.
“ It’s okay, ” her grandfather said quietly. “ It was an accident. ”
They opened the box and, sure enough, many of the plates were broken. Only a few remained whole. Looking at the small pieces, Amy felt really terrible. She knew these plates were passed down from her great grandparents and …
“ Don’t worry, ” her grandmother said, patting her on the back. Carefully, they put the broken pieces into a rubbish bag.
They continued packing for a little while, but Amy still felt very sorry. She was trying very hard to think of a way to make it up for her grandparents.
Soon, Amy’s father came.
“ I have to go, ” she said. “ Dad is here to pick me up. ”
She kissed her grandparents both, picked up the bag of the broken pieces and left.
“ What’s that ” her father asked, as Amy climbed into the car.
Amy looked at the bag in her hands as an idea came to her. “ This, ” she said, “ is an art project. ”
The following day, Amy went to an art store and bought everything she needed. Then she started to work. She used a thin board as the base. Then she took out the colourful plate pieces and glued them in a creative way on the board. When it was dry, Amy wrapped it up.
A few days later, Amy’s family had a big dinner at her grandparents’ new house. She handed her gift to her grandparents.
“ This is fantastic, Amy! ” said her grandfather.
“ I can’t wait to hang it up in our new home, ” Amy’s grandmother said as she gave her a big hug.
