(2022·广元中考)
Last Saturday, I went to a coffee shop to meet a friend of mine. I got there ten minutes earlier.
So I ordered a cup of coffee and sat by the window, watching people. There were some boys playing football on the street and a small boy was running after the ball as it rolled across the road.
Suddenly, there came a car. It was going very fast. When the driver saw the boy in his way, he braked(刹车) hard. But it was too late... The small boy was lying on the street without moving. To everyone’s surprise, the car didn’t stop. It drove away quickly.
People ran to the boy. There was a cut on the boy’s head and he lost a lot of blood. The coffee shop owner telephoned the police. Soon an ambulance(救护车) arrived and took the boy to the hospital. At 6:30 pm, the police arrived and started questioning people. About half an hour later, they asked me to go to the police station because I saw everything. I gave them all the information I knew because I really wanted them to catch the driver. I didn’t leave the police station until 8:00 pm. After that I went home because I didn’t want to talk to anyone.
The next day, the boy’s parents called me to say thanks. They also told me their boy was fine and the driver was at the police station now.

(2022·常德中考)
Usually I wouldn’t cross the park at this time of night. But walking around the park would take more time, and it was raining so hard that I couldn’t even see clearly what was right before me. So I entered the park. And that was the first stupid thing I did tonight.
Soon after I walked into the park, I saw a man under a tree up ahead. My heart fell. The stories I’d heard about the park were all coming into my head at this moment. Anyone with a clear mind would just turn back. But me No. I did another stupid thing: I decided to hurry past him.
Just when I was passing the man, he raised his head and gave me the strangest smile ever. I got scared and started running. “Hey,” the man shouted from behind, “Wait.” He was running after me!
I ran like crazy. I had hoped the trees would keep some rain off. And they did. But they also made the park look even darker. I couldn’t see what was ahead of me. Then, I ran into something. It was the man!
“Don’t kill me!” I cried.
“What I was trying to give back your bag! You dropped it.” The man gave me my bag.
Now, I felt saying that to the man was the stupidest thing I did tonight.
6.Why did the writer enter the park
A.It was safer to go across the park.
B.To go across the park would save time.
C.The trees in the park could keep the rain off.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据“Usually I wouldn’t cross the park at this time of night. But walking around the park would take more time, and it was raining so hard that I couldn’t even see clearly what was right before me. So I entered the park.”可知,作者走进公园是因为雨下得太大了,作者看不清眼前的一切,所以作者想在公园里躲雨。
7.What did the writer mean by “the first stupid thing” “another stupid thing” “the stupidest thing”
A.He felt proud of himself.
B.He regretted what he had done.
C.He felt ashamed of making so many mistakes.
【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据“So I entered the park. And that was the first stupid thing I did tonight.”以及“Anyone with a clear mind would just turn back. But me No. I did another stupid thing: I decided to hurry past him.”以及“Then, I ran into something. It was the man!”和“‘Don’t kill me!’ I cried.”可知,作者在公园里遇到了一个人,自己受到了惊吓,所以对自己那天晚上的所作所为感到很后悔。
8.The “drop” in “______” has the same meaning as the underlined one in the last but one paragraph.
A.He dropped off from his bike.
B.Oh, they have had to drop their prices.
C.Excuse me, Miss, you’ve dropped your umbrella.
【解析】选C。词义猜测题。根据“‘What I was trying to give back your bag! You dropped it.’ The man gave me my bag.”可知,那个人是说作者把包掉了,现在要还给他,所以此处的drop的意思与C选项中的意思相近。
9.What’s the best title for the passage
A.A Strange Man B.A Scary Park C.A Brave Cross
【解析】选B。标题归纳题。文章主要是讲述作者在一个下雨天的夜晚,在公园里遇到了“可怕”的事情,B选项符合。
