(2024·江苏宿迁·二模)A horse fair is an interesting place. There is always a lot to see. There are young horses from the country, little Welsh ponies, like Merrylegs, and many beautiful horses too. But there were also a lot of poor, thin horses, worn out from hard work. I was very sad to see them.
At the horse fair there was a man with a gentle voice and kind grey eyes. He offered twenty-three pounds for me, but they refused, and he walked away. Then a man with a very loud voice came. I was ▲ he was going to buy me, but he walked off. Then the grey-eyed man came back again and said: “I’ll give twenty-four for him.”
“Done,” said the salesman. “He’s a quality horse and if you want him for cab work, he’s a bargain.”
Half an hour later we set off for London, along country roads, until we came to that great city. There were streets to the right, and streets to the left. We went into one of the small streets, and then into a very narrow street, with small, old houses on one side, and stables on the other.
My new owner stopped at a house and whistled. The door opened, and a young woman, a little girl and boy, came out.
They all looked at me.
“Is he gentle, father ”
“Yes, Dolly, as gentle as a kitten (小猫); you can pat him.”
Dolly, the little girl, patted my shoulder without fear. It felt so good! They led me into a clean stable, with plenty of dry straw, and after a delicious meal I lay down to sleep, thinking “I’m going to be very happy here”.

(2024·江苏淮安·一模)The pirates, the Lost Boys, the Indians and the beasts are all walking round and round the island in a circle (圆). They never catch each other because they are all walking at the same speed. At the end of the procession, there is an enormous crocodile (鳄鱼). The boys are the first to leave the circle. They disappear very quickly into their home under the ground. The entrances to their home are in seven large trees. There’s one for each Lost Boy—Nibs, Slightly, Tootles, Curly, the Twins—and one for Peter Pan. Each boy enters through a hole in the trunk (枝干) of his tree. Hook does not know where their home is, but he wants to find it.
Later Nibs goes out for a walk. While he is walking through the woods, the pirates see him. Starkey, the ship’s mate, takes out his pistol (手枪) but Hook stops him and says, “No. I don’t want to shoot one Lost Boy. I want to kill all of them. Go and look for them! I want to find their house!”
The pirates disappear into the woods. Now Captain Hook and Mr. Smee, the ship’s bosun, are alone. Hook begins to talk about the Lost Boys.
“I want Peter Pan, Smee,” he says. “Peter Pan and the crocodile made me lose my left hand.”
“Oh, yes. I know that you are afraid of crocodiles,” says Smee.
“I am not afraid of all crocodiles,” explains Hook quickly. “Just one crocodile. It has my hand and now it wants to eat the rest of me.” Then he sits down on a large mushroom.
“Smee,” he says. “That crocodile wants to kill me, but luckily it has a clock inside it. The clock makes a noise: tick-tock, tick-tock. When I hear the tick-tock of the clock, I have time to run away before the crocodile can catch me.”

One day when Wendy and the boys were sitting on the rock, a sudden change happened in the lake. The sun disappeared behind thick clouds and it became so dark that Wendy could not see her sewing needle (缝衣针). The water became very cold and the wind stopped. Wendy heard a sound from far away; it was the sound of a large boat.
Wendy was afraid and wanted to awake the sleeping boys, but she didn’t want them to swim just after eating lunch, so she did not.
Luckily, Peter could feel danger even when he was sleeping. He woke up and jumped to his feet. “Pirates!” he shouted and the children all awoke afraid.
“Swim!” Peter ordered. The boys all quickly jumped into the water and swam away.
The pirate ship moved closer and closer to the rock. Starkey and Smee were on it, and so was the Indian Tiger Lily. Smee had caught her as she was climbing onto their ship with a knife in her mouth. They tied her up with rope and threw her down onto Death Rock.
Peter and Wendy swam under the pirate ship so that no one could see them. Wendy felt a great pity for the Indian girl and did not want to see her die. Peter felt angry because the pirates did not fight fairly. Many pirates bad fought against just Tiger Lily.
Peter planned to save Tiger Lily. He could have waited until the pirates left before saving her, but Peter never did anything the easy way.
★Instead he thought of a different plan. Peter could imitate many sounds and many voices, so he imitated Captain Hook’s voice.
“Hey, Smee!” he called.
“I hear the captain,” said Smee to Starkey. “He must be swimming out to the ship to meet us.”
“Hey, Captain, we tied up Tiger Lily and are leaving her on the rock to die,” Smee called out happily.
“Let her go free!” said Peter imitating Hook’s voice.
“Free ” Smee cried, feeling very shocked.
“Yes, cut the rope and let her free!”
“Why Captain ”
“Do it at once. It is my order!” the voice said seriously and loudly. “Do it or I’ll push my hook (钩) into your heart slowly!”
“This is very strange,” said Smee to Starkey. “We’d better do what Captain Hook orders,” said Starkey nervously. He was afraid of the captain’s hook.
“Okay, Captain,” Smee answered, and he took out his knife and cut the ropes that were around Tiger Lily’s hands and feet. She quickly jumped into the lake and disappeared.
Wendy thought Peter’s clever trick was very wonderful; but before she could praise him, they heard the real voice of Captain Hook coming from over the lake.

(2023·江苏常州·一模)Some of the children’s dreams about the Neverland were similar. This was because they were all in the same family and they had all heard the same stories from their mother. Many stories talked about a boy named Peter Pan. Peter Pan lived in the Neverland with the fairies (小精灵) and he could fly. Wendy especially believed in Peter Pan.

But Peter Pan did not want the children to forget him. So that same night he came to the Darlings’ house. He whispered dreams of the Neverland into their ears while they were sleeping. Wendy had a wonderful dream about the Neverland that night.
The next day Wendy saw that the window was open and knew that Peter Pan had come to visit. “Look!” she yelled to her mother. “There are tree leaves on the floor and he forgot to clean his shoes!”
“How could Peter Pan come into the house without first knocking at the door ” asked her mother. “The door is always locked.”
“He flew in through our window! Go upstairs and look! The tree leaves are next to the window!”

“What’s happening ” Peter said, “Look at the trees. They’re moving.”
He was right. The trees were sliding down the hill.

“How do we do that ” Peter said eagerly, “The next train is due at 11:29. That’s in five minutes. And the train is only about fifteen kilometers away.”
“We can run towards the train and wave to the driver,” Phyllis said.
“He won’t think there is anything wrong,” Roberta said, “We always wave to him.” “We need something red to wave,” Peter said, “Red is for danger.”
“My petticoat is red,” Phyllis said, “I’ll tear pieces off.” She then tore stripes from the bottom of her petticoat.
“We need sticks to tie the stripes to,” Peter said.
The children ran to a nearby tree. With his knife, Peter cut off three thin branches. He ties each of the stripes of red petticoat to one of the branches.
“Now we have red flags,” he said, “When we wave these, the engine driver will know something is wrong. He will stop the train and ask us what the matter is.”
The children ran through the tunnel and waited at the other side for the train to come. Finally, the train arrived. The children waved their flags. Roberta was so excited that she fainted and lay on the ground.

(2023·江苏宿迁·一模)One day in July when I was completely well again, I went exploring on the isolated island. I walked along the coast until I got to a small river. Then I followed it across the island. The land on both sides of the river was very pleasant. It was flat and green and many different plants were growing there. I looked for things to eat, but I didn’t find anything. The next day I decided to go further. I was curious to see more of the green valley. I walked for many hours and finally I arrived in a place with many trees. I could see oranges and lemons on them. I also saw grapes and melons too.
“The north side of the island is better than the south,” I thought. “There are lots of things to eat. The weather is better here too. I chose the bad side for my house. ”
I didn’t go home that night. I slept in a tree and continued exploring the next morning. Before I left that place, I filled my pockets with fruit.
I must come back with bags and get some more, I thought. “But I must hurry because the wet season starts in August. ”
I made several more trips during the following weeks and took back as much fruit as I could. While I was there, I built a small tent to sleep in.
It rained more or less every day between the middle of August and the middle of October and I had to stay inside. But when the weather changed, I often went to my country house. There were lots of small animals in the woods and turtles on the beach, so I was never without meat. I also discovered that turtle eggs were very good to eat too. I dried some of the meat in the sun and kept it for the wet season. I dried the grapes too. They were very good and I usually kept some in my pockets.
One day when I was standing on the top of a hill, I saw land in the distance. Was it the mainland or an island I asked myself Another day I caught a parrot with colourful feathers and took it home with me. I called it Poll and I taught it to speak. The first word it learnt to say was its name. Then I taught it to say “Robinson”. That was my name. It was strange to hear another voice after so many months. Poll was very good company (同伴) and almost never left my side. But I couldn’t wait to think about the home with my dad and mum sometimes.
During the wet months I taught myself to make bowls for my food. Later I learnt how to make pots for cooking.

I enjoyed being a doctor for the first few years. But then I became bored, and ideas of travel filled my mind. I imagined going to far-off places and seeing wonderful new things.
“Mary,” I said one day, “I need more adventures in my life. The captain of a ship about to sail has offered me a job as the ship’s doctor. I don’t know how long the journey will take, but I promise I will return. And when I do, I’ll tell you and the children all about my adventures.”
So in 1699, I set sail on the Antelope from Bristol. That city is a large and very old port in the southwest of England. The captain was a good man and had sailed a great deal!
“Welcome aboard. Doctor Gulliver,” he said, “First we’ll be sailing down the Atlantic Ocean and around the coast of Africa. Then we’ll sail through the Indian Ocean to the South Seas.” Our journey went well until one morning, somewhere near Tasmania in the South Pacific Ocean.
“I don’t like the look of those clouds,” the captain said, “I think a storm is coming.”
Within an hour, a big storm began. The sea rose in great, angry waves much taller than the Antelope. The wind, now as strong as a hurricane, made a terrible sound.
“The wind is blowing the ship off course!” shouted the captain. “Look out!”

Luckily, the horses accepted me as a superior form of Yahoo and began to treat me kindly. The first thing they did was to teach me their language. As you know by now, dear reader, I am very good at languages. I soon learnt enough words to communicate quite well and I understood we were in Houyhnhnm Land.
The Houyhnhnms continued to be impressed by my wisdom and my clean and smart appearance. Many other Houyhnhnms came to visit me. All of them felt confused (困惑) because I was similar to the Yahoos. But I did my very best to show how different I was from these disgusting creatures (令人厌恶的生物).
The first grey horse I saw became my master and teacher. Together we had many interesting conversations. I told my master that the greatest ambition for all Yahoos was to have as much money as possible to buy bigger and better things. I also added that it was very difficult to get that much money honestly. As a result, most of the people lived a poor life while a few people had lots of money.
You may think, dear reader, that my description of life in England and Europe was very unfair. But after living with the Houyhnhnms for some time, it became clearer to me how equal their society was. I felt I wanted to live in Houyhnhnm Land for the rest of my life. It was such a pleasant place.
Over time I even began to copy the appearance of the Houyhnhnms and made myself shoes like theirs. I was happy to live with the Houyhnhnms for the rest of my life but unluckily everything changed on one fatal day. The Houyhnhnms didn’t think it was right that I lived like a Houyhnhnm.
