（2023·山东德州·中考真题）阅读短文，根据题目要求完成各小题。
To respect your decisions is a simple and powerful quality of a person but it’s seldom used. Few people fully respect all his or her decisions, making decisions without really considering whether those decisions are really needed, whether they are correct, or even whether they are possible to complete. Imagine how you will feel if you are able to respect your decisions. You will be determined (坚定的), more creative, more satisfied, and so on.
Although many methods could be written about how to respect your decisions and carry them out, the simplest way to start is by deciding to decide and deciding to respect the decisions yon make! Yes, it’s as simple as that.
Before making a decision, it is a good idea to notice how you feel about what you are considering. Do you feel easy and relaxed about what you are thinking to do If you decide to do something that doesn’t agree with your inner feelings, you will certainly find it difficult to complete the task that you’ve decided to do. In fact you may not even start it! By making sure that the decision agrees with your values first, you should have no difficulties carrying it out.
Respecting your decisions is respecting yourself. If you seldom do what you say, then other people will not trust you, nor will you trust yourself. Very quickly these make you tired, slow and lazy. At this point nearly everything seems like hand work.
To respect your decisions is a great quality to have. By giving importance to your time and energy, you will be able to make wise decisions. You will be known as someone who does what they say they will do. You will be highly respected. You will have a powerful and clear mind. You’ll have one of the greatest attributes (特质) needed for success.
21．What will you be like if you respect your own decisions according to Paragraph 1
22．What should you do before making a decision according to Paragraph 3
23．Why do others no longer trust you according to Paragraph 4 八下 Unit 5 核心知识点练习卷

II.任务型阅读
（2023·山东德州·中考真题）阅读短文，根据题目要求完成各小题。
To respect your decisions is a simple and powerful quality of a person but it’s seldom used. Few people fully respect all his or her decisions, making decisions without really considering whether those decisions are really needed, whether they are correct, or even whether they are possible to complete. Imagine how you will feel if you are able to respect your decisions. You will be determined (坚定的), more creative, more satisfied, and so on.
Although many methods could be written about how to respect your decisions and carry them out, the simplest way to start is by deciding to decide and deciding to respect the decisions yon make! Yes, it’s as simple as that.
Before making a decision, it is a good idea to notice how you feel about what you are considering. Do you feel easy and relaxed about what you are thinking to do If you decide to do something that doesn’t agree with your inner feelings, you will certainly find it difficult to complete the task that you’ve decided to do. In fact you may not even start it! By making sure that the decision agrees with your values first, you should have no difficulties carrying it out.
Respecting your decisions is respecting yourself. If you seldom do what you say, then other people will not trust you, nor will you trust yourself. Very quickly these make you tired, slow and lazy. At this point nearly everything seems like hand work.
To respect your decisions is a great quality to have. By giving importance to your time and energy, you will be able to make wise decisions. You will be known as someone who does what they say they will do. You will be highly respected. You will have a powerful and clear mind. You’ll have one of the greatest attributes (特质) needed for success.
21．What will you be like if you respect your own decisions according to Paragraph 1
22．What should you do before making a decision according to Paragraph 3
23．Why do others no longer trust you according to Paragraph 4
24．How could you make wise decisions according to the last paragraph
25．Give a proper title to the passage.
【答案】21．I will be determined, more creative, more satisfied, and so on. 22．I should notice how I feel about what I am considering. 23．Because I seldom do what you say. 24．By giving importance to your time and energy. 25．To respect your decisions.
【导语】本文主要介绍了要尊重自己的决定，这样会变得更坚定、更有创造力、更满意。
21．根据“Imagine how you will feel if you are able to respect your decisions. You will be determined (坚定的), more creative, more satisfied, and so on.”可知会更坚定、更有创造力、更满意等等。故填I will be determined, more creative, more satisfied, and so on.
22．根据“Before making a decision, it is a good idea to notice how you feel about what you are considering.”可知在做出决定之前，最好注意一下你对自己正在考虑的事情的感受。故填I should notice how I feel about what I am considering.
23．根据“If you seldom do what you say, then other people will not trust you, nor will you trust yourself”可知如果你很少说到做到，那么别人不会信任你。故填Because I seldom do what you say.
24．根据“By giving importance to your time and energy, you will be able to make wise decisions.”可知通过重视你的时间和精力，你将能够做出明智的决定。故填By giving importance to your time and energy.
25．本文主要介绍了要尊重自己的决定，这样会变得更坚定、更有创造力、更满意，故文章可以“To respect your decisions”为标题。故填To respect your decisions.
III. 短文填空。
（2023·山东临沂·中考真题）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
It was early spring, and there was a light fog(雾) over the trees and fields. I and the other young horses 26 (eat) at the lower end of the field when we heard the cry of dogs far away. The 27 (old) among us lifted his head to listen. “There are the dogs!” he said, and ran away at once. We followed him to the top 28 the field.
My mother and another old horse were standing near. “They have found a hare(野兔),” said my mother, “and if they come this way, we 29 (see) the hunt(打猎).”
Soon the dogs were all running down the field next to ours, making aloud “yo-yo-yo” sound at the top of their voices. After then came men on horses as fast as they could. Suddenly, the dogs became 30 (silence) and ran around with their noses to the ground.
“They 31 (lose) the smell of the hare already,” said the old horse. “Perhaps she will run away.”
But the dogs began their “yo-yo-yo” again and came at full speed towards our field. Just then a hare, wild with fear, ran towards the trees. The dogs jumped over a small river and ran across the field. Six or eight huntsmen(猎人) jumped their horses over 32 small river, close behind the dogs. Before the hare could get away, the dogs were upon her with wild cries.
We heard a terrible cry, and that was the end of the hare. She 33 (pick) up by one of the men. She was covered in blood, but all the huntsmen seemed pleased.
I was 34 surprised that at first I didn’t see what was happening by the river. Later I saw a sad sight(景象)—two horses were down and the riders were hurt.
My mother said, “I can’t understand why men like this sport so much. They quite often hurt 35 (they) and good horses.”
【答案】26．were eating 27．oldest 28．of 29．shall see 30．silent 31．have lost 32．the 33．was picked 34．so 35．themselves
【导语】本文节选自《黑骏马》，讲述了猎人们带狗打猎的故事。
26．句意：我和其他小马正在田野的尽头吃东西，突然听到远处传来狗的叫声。根据“when we heard the cry of dogs far away.”可知，此处是when引导的时间状语从句，从句是一般过去时，主句表示过去正在进行的动作，用过去进行时，主语是复数，be动词用were，故填were eating。
27．句意：我们当中年纪最大的那位抬起头来听。根据“among us”可知，三者以上的比较应用最高级，故填oldest。
28．句意：我们跟着他来到了田顶。此处是固定搭配the top of“……的顶部”，故填of。
29．句意：如果他们从这边来，我们就能看到狩猎了。if引导的条件状语从句，主句用一般将来时，因为主语是第一人称we，我们可以使用“shall+动词原形”，故填shall see。
30．句意：突然，狗安静了下来，把鼻子贴在地上跑来跑去。became是系动词，后加形容词silent作表语，故填silent。
