Learn about life in the palace
Have you ever visited the Forbidden City This year is its 600th birthday. It is the world’s largest palace and has over 17 million visitors every year. But if we traveled back to the past, we probably wouldn’t be allowed inside.
In the past, all buildings in Beijing were low except for the Forbidden City. From outside, ordinary people could only imagine what it looked like inside.
The Forbidden City takes up 720,000 square meters in the heart of Beijing. It was built from 1406 to 1420 by the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Yongle Emperor. After that, it was the living and working place of 14 emperors of the Ming Dynasty and 10 emperors of the Qing Dynasty.
During those times, the Forbidden City was where the country’s supreme power could be found. Emperors were born, lived, fought and died there. It saw the highs and lows of the Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as the end of feudal autocratic monarchy in China.
The cultural relics and documents in the palace show how the royal families lived. They are still used today for historical research, as well as inspiration for literature and entertainment.
In 1987, the Forbidden City was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. For world leaders who visit China, it has become a must-see. In 2017, when US President Donald Trump paid a state visit to China, President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan welcomed Trump and his wife there.

佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
I have experienced many acts of kindness in my life. But the one that stands out the most was the one that happened at the blacksmith (铁匠) shop in Sturbridge, Massachusetts.
I visited the village that day with my autistic (患自闭症的) son. He had no idea what danger meant and needed me to watch his every move to stop him from running away or heading into a crowded street. He also loved making friends and thinking that everyone was his friend.
Although he looked much older than he really was, he acted much younger, which made it even harder for other people to accept him. People’s look of pity (怜悯) broke my heart. I had started to be scared of taking him out to crowded places. That day, at the village, I had walked around taking my son’s hand, ready to keep him from being hurt by anyone. For some reason, my son wanted to visit the blacksmith building. With great worry, I took him there. As soon as we walked into the shop, he pulled (抽出) his hand out of mine, ran over to the blacksmith, put his arms around the man’s legs, and asked if he would be his friend.
My heart stopped at that moment. I expected that he, like almost everyone else that we had met, would ask him to go away. However, the blacksmith looked him in the eye, and then reached out his hand for my son to shake. He said that he would be glad to be the friend of such a fine young man.
The blacksmith spent the next hour letting my son “help” him. I was surprised at the way that man was always patient (有耐心的), answering my son’s questions and also keeping him safe although he was always moving. The blacksmith not only gave my son a dream-come-true experience, but gifted my son with things more meaningful: Kindness. Acceptance. I will always be grateful to that blacksmith.
11．What was the writer’s son like
A．He looked small and thin. B．He was always nice to others. C．He often watched out for danger.
12．Why was the writer worried about taking her son to crowded places
A．He was too young. B．He was not well-accepted. C．He had a heart problem.
13．What did the writer first expect from the blacksmith
A．A cold welcome. B．A strong handshake. C．A warm look.
14．What does the underlined word “grateful” probably mean
A．Close. B．Different. C．Thankful.
15．What is the best title of this passage
A．A warm blacksmith B．An unusual child C．A big dreamer
【答案】11．B 12．B 13．A 14．C 15．A
【导语】本文讲作者有一个患有自闭症的儿子，在一次旅行中，他得到了一位善良的铁匠的耐心接纳。
11．细节理解题。根据“He also loved making friends and thinking that everyone was his friend.”可知，“我”的儿子很渴望友谊，他对所有人都很友好。故选B。
12．细节理解题。根据“Although he looked much older than he really was, he acted much younger, which made it even harder for other people to accept him. People’s look of pity (怜悯) broke my heart.”可知，人们很难接受“我”患有自闭症的儿子，并且总是对他投以怜悯的目光，因此“我”总是很担心带他到人多的地方去。故选B。
13．推理判断题。根据“I expected that he, like almost everyone else that we had met, would ask him to go away.”可知，“我”本以为这位铁匠会像我们遇到的所有人一样：不愿意让“我”的儿子靠近他们。换句话说，“我”以为他会对“我”儿子很冷漠。故选A。
14．词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段的内容可知，铁匠耐心地教导“我”的儿子，他的暖心行为无形中也教会了“我”的儿子“善良”和“接纳”的意义，故可猜测画线词的意思是“感谢的（Thankful）”。故选C。
15．标题归纳题。通读全文特别是文章最后两段的内容可知，在一次旅行中，一位善良的铁匠耐心接纳了“我”患有自闭症的儿子，故A项“热情的铁匠”做本文标题更适合。故选A。

On a bright March afternoon, some travelers moved through the snow along Bearskin Lake. There were three dads and four teens. The teens, 14 to 16 years old, chatted and laughed. They each were pulling a sled（雪橇）which was full of winter camping gear（用具）. Their dads—Bob Feyen, Jesse Schomberg and Kevin Skwira-Brown—also pulled gear.
Even when they were young, the children did their share. “The rules, from the beginning, were that everyone has to pull a sled.” Kevin Skwira-Brown said. “We want them to grow up strong.” In the early years, the children pulled small sleds with just sleeping bags. Now, they pull full-size sleds.
For 10 years now, these dads and sons/daughters have been making this journey each winter. “Bob, Kevin and I had done this one winter with our children.” Schomberg said. “The kids thought it was great fun, so we made it a tradition（传统）.”
On this 32-degree March afternoon, the group was going to Daniels Lake. They would camp there for three days. They all stayed in Schomberg’s tent.
Hannah Feyen told a story about a trip when she was young. “We were walking across a stream one time, and I lost a boot in it. I shouted to dad for help. He just shouted back ‘You can do it!’ and I did.” laughed Hannah.
Bob Feyen said they were taking their children to this trip every March. They would keep on the tradition until the teens moved away for college.

Learn about life in the palace
Have you ever visited the Forbidden City This year is its 600th birthday. It is the world’s largest palace and has over 17 million visitors every year. But if we traveled back to the past, we probably wouldn’t be allowed inside.
In the past, all buildings in Beijing were low except for the Forbidden City. From outside, ordinary people could only imagine what it looked like inside.
The Forbidden City takes up 720,000 square meters in the heart of Beijing. It was built from 1406 to 1420 by the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Yongle Emperor. After that, it was the living and working place of 14 emperors of the Ming Dynasty and 10 emperors of the Qing Dynasty.
During those times, the Forbidden City was where the country’s supreme power could be found. Emperors were born, lived, fought and died there. It saw the highs and lows of the Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as the end of feudal autocratic monarchy in China.
The cultural relics and documents in the palace show how the royal families lived. They are still used today for historical research, as well as inspiration for literature and entertainment.
In 1987, the Forbidden City was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. For world leaders who visit China, it has become a must-see. In 2017, when US President Donald Trump paid a state visit to China, President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan welcomed Trump and his wife there.

I have experienced many acts of kindness in my life. But the one that stands out the most was the one that happened at the blacksmith (铁匠) shop in Sturbridge, Massachusetts.
I visited the village that day with my autistic (患自闭症的) son. He had no idea what danger meant and needed me to watch his every move to stop him from running away or heading into a crowded street. He also loved making friends and thinking that everyone was his friend.
Although he looked much older than he really was, he acted much younger, which made it even harder for other people to accept him. People’s look of pity (怜悯) broke my heart. I had started to be scared of taking him out to crowded places. That day, at the village, I had walked around taking my son’s hand, ready to keep him from being hurt by anyone. For some reason, my son wanted to visit the blacksmith building. With great worry, I took him there. As soon as we walked into the shop, he pulled (抽出) his hand out of mine, ran over to the blacksmith, put his arms around the man’s legs, and asked if he would be his friend.
My heart stopped at that moment. I expected that he, like almost everyone else that we had met, would ask him to go away. However, the blacksmith looked him in the eye, and then reached out his hand for my son to shake. He said that he would be glad to be the friend of such a fine young man.
The blacksmith spent the next hour letting my son “help” him. I was surprised at the way that man was always patient (有耐心的), answering my son’s questions and also keeping him safe although he was always moving. The blacksmith not only gave my son a dream-come-true experience, but gifted my son with things more meaningful: Kindness. Acceptance. I will always be grateful to that blacksmith.

（22-23八年级下·河北承德·期末）Dear Andy,
How is it going I’ve stayed in Marseilles for about a year. It’s in the south of France and is the second largest city of the country. It’s a really beautiful city, especially in autumn. You know my hometown Scotland is famous for its awful weather — always cold and rainy! But I’m lucky with the weather here this year. I only started wearing a coat a few days ago.

On a bright March afternoon, some travelers moved through the snow along Bearskin Lake. There were three dads and four teens. The teens, 14 to 16 years old, chatted and laughed. They each were pulling a sled（雪橇）which was full of winter camping gear（用具）. Their dads—Bob Feyen, Jesse Schomberg and Kevin Skwira-Brown—also pulled gear.
Even when they were young, the children did their share. “The rules, from the beginning, were that everyone has to pull a sled.” Kevin Skwira-Brown said. “We want them to grow up strong.” In the early years, the children
pulled small sleds with just sleeping bags. Now, they pull full-size sleds.
For 10 years now, these dads and sons/daughters have been making this journey each winter. “Bob, Kevin and I had done this one winter with our children.” Schomberg said. “The kids thought it was great fun, so we made it a tradition（传统）.”
On this 32-degree March afternoon, the group was going to Daniels Lake. They would camp there for three days. They all stayed in Schomberg’s tent.
Hannah Feyen told a story about a trip when she was young. “We were walking across a stream one time, and I lost a boot in it. I shouted to dad for help. He just shouted back ‘You can do it!’ and I did.” laughed Hannah.
Bob Feyen said they were taking their children to this trip every March. They would keep on the tradition until the teens moved away for college.
35．How many times has the winter trip been held
36．Why did the dads want to have the trip with their children
37．If you have a task, would you like to complete it by yourself or with others’ help Why
