My favourite great book is The adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, Missouri. He’s a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures(冒险). He runs away with his friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave and finally they find a box of gold.
My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his town funeral. He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive.
Tom is the hero of the story, but there are another important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him . Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom’s best friend and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.
The theme of the story is about children growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behavior.
Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story. Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on--read it! I know you’ll enjoy it, too.

Like most teachers, on the very first day of school, Mrs. Black told her students she was kind and she loved them all the same. But that was impossible because in the front row was a little boy named Teddy. With dirty clothes, Teddy could be unpleasant.
At the school where Mrs. Black taught, she was required to receive each child’s past record and she put Teddy’s off until last. However, when she received it, she was quite surprised.
Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work well and has good manners....he is a joy to be around.”
His second grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness.”
His third grade teacher wrote, “His mother’s death has been hard on him. Teddy doesn’t show much interest in school and sometimes sleeps in class.”
By now, Mrs. Black realized the problem and she was ashamed（羞愧的）of herself. On the very day, she
gave up teaching reading, and writing. Instead he began to teach children. Mrs. Black paid special attention to Teddy. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.
Six years later, she received a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was the best teacher he ever had in his whole life.
Four years after that, she got another letter, saying that he would soon graduate from college with the highest honor（荣誉）.
Then four more years passed and yet another letter came. This time, Teddy said he was going to be married and invited Mrs. Black to his wedding. At the wedding, Teddy whispered in Mrs. Black’s ear, “Thank you Mrs. Black for believing in me. Thank you so much for making me feel important and showing me that I could make a difference.”
Mrs. Black, with tears in eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”
22.Why did Mrs. Black told her students she loved them all the same

She was so excited that she just wanted to say it.
She wanted to show that she was kind and friendly.
She felt lonely and hoped to have someone to talk to.

Mrs. Black gave up her job as a teacher and helped people look after kids.

六、阅读并回答问题（共5题，每题2分，计10分）
In July, China introduced the “double reduction (双减)” policy. It hopes to reduce students’ learning burden (负担) by reducing homework and after-school classes. One month has passed since the new semester began. How do students feel about this new policy
“Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. “We are not encouraged to buy workbooks anymore. The exercises are mainly from the textbook.”
According to Shen, teachers now teach at a much slower pace (节奏). Students have enough time to process new knowledge. “Our teachers are also giving us more chances to do experiments and learn from real life,” said Shen. “For example, we went to research earthworms (蚯蚓) in a field during a biology class. This is a much better way to learn things than just hitting the books.”
For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities. “We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and drama. I have joined a group called ‘leadership development (领导力发展)’ where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond academic (学业的) study,” said Zhang.
Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now. But they think it’s not necessarily a good thing. “Exams push me to study harder. Besides my progress, more importantly, each exam shows my weak points as well,” Zhang said.
Shen also pointed out that when burden is lightened, self-discipline (自律) becomes the key. “Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind your peers (同龄人),” he said.
回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。
41.Why did Chinese government introduce the “double reduction (双减)” policy
42. According to Shen, which is a better way to learn things, doing experiments or hitting the books
43. How do Shen and Zhang find having fewer exams
44. What can Zhang learn about each exam
45. What seems to be more important when students have lighter burden

Like most teachers, on the very first day of school, Mrs. Black told her students she was kind and she loved them all the same. But that was impossible because in the front row was a little boy named Teddy. With dirty clothes, Teddy could be unpleasant.
At the school where Mrs. Black taught, she was required to receive each child’s past record and she put Teddy’s off until last. However, when she received it, she was quite surprised.
Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work well and has good manners....he is a joy to be around.”
His second grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness.”
His third grade teacher wrote, “His mother’s death has been hard on him. Teddy doesn’t show much interest in school and sometimes sleeps in class.”
By now, Mrs. Black realized the problem and she was ashamed（羞愧的）of herself. On the very day, she gave up teaching reading, and writing. Instead he began to teach children. Mrs. Black paid special attention to Teddy. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.

At the wedding, Teddy whispered in Mrs. Black’s ear, “Thank you Mrs. Black for believing in me. Thank you so much for making me feel important and showing me that I could make a difference.”
Mrs. Black, with tears in eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”

六、阅读并回答问题（共5题，每题2分，计10分）
In July, China introduced the “double reduction (双减)” policy. It hopes to reduce students’ learning burden (负担) by reducing homework and after-school classes. One month has passed since the new semester began. How do students feel about this new policy
“Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. “We are not encouraged to buy workbooks anymore. The exercises are mainly from the textbook.”
According to Shen, teachers now teach at a much slower pace (节奏). Students have enough time to process new knowledge. “Our teachers are also giving us more chances to do experiments and learn from real life,” said Shen. “For example, we went to research earthworms (蚯蚓) in a field during a biology class. This is a much better way to learn things than just hitting the books.”
For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in
after-school activities. “We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and drama. I have joined a group called ‘leadership development (领导力发展)’ where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond academic (学业的) study,” said Zhang.
Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now. But they think it’s not necessarily a good thing. “Exams push me to study harder. Besides my progress, more importantly, each exam shows my weak points as well,” Zhang said.
Shen also pointed out that when burden is lightened, self-discipline (自律) becomes the key. “Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind your peers (同龄人),” he said.
回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。
41.Why did Chinese government introduce the “double reduction (双减)” policy
42. According to Shen, which is a better way to learn things, doing experiments or hitting the books
43. How do Shen and Zhang find having fewer exams
44. What can Zhang learn about each exam
45. What seems to be more important when students have lighter burden
【答案】
41. To reduce students’ learning burden.
42. Doing experiments.
43. It’s not necessarily a good thing. / Not good.
44. His progress and weak points.
45. Self-discipline.

My favourite great book is The adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, Missouri. He’s a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures(冒险). He runs away with his friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave and finally they find a box of gold.
My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his town funeral. He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive.
Tom is the hero of the story, but there are another important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him . Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom’s best friend and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.
The theme of the story is about children growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behavior.
Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story. Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on--read it! I know you’ll enjoy it, too.
14．Where does Tom run away with his friends
A．To a quiet street. B．To a small town.
C．To an island. D．To a forest.
15．Who is the bad man in the story
A．Huck Finn. B．Injun Joe. C．Becky. D．Polly.
16．The whole book is mainly about __________ .
A．freedom and social rules B．children’s bad behavior
C．the growth of young children D．strangers in American small towns
17．The writer writes the article to ___________ .
A．tell us to read the book B．tell us how popular the book is today
C．tell us when Mark Twain wrote the story D．tell us why the story sounds very real

六、阅读并回答问题（共5题，每题2分，计10分）
In July, China introduced the “double reduction (双减)” policy. It hopes to reduce students’ learning burden (负担) by reducing homework and after-school classes. One month has passed since the new semester began. How do students feel about this new policy
“Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. “We are not encouraged to buy workbooks anymore. The exercises are mainly from the textbook.”
According to Shen, teachers now teach at a much slower pace (节奏). Students have enough time to process new knowledge. “Our teachers are also giving us more chances to do experiments and learn from real life,” said Shen. “For example, we went to research earthworms (蚯蚓) in a field during a biology class. This is a much better way to learn things than just hitting the books.”
For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities. “We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and drama. I have joined a group called ‘leadership development (领导力发展)’ where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond academic (学业的) study,” said Zhang.
Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now. But they think it’s not necessarily a good thing. “Exams push me to study harder. Besides my progress, more importantly, each exam shows my weak points as well,” Zhang said.
Shen also pointed out that when burden is lightened, self-discipline (自律) becomes the key. “Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind your peers (同龄人),” he said.

My favourite great book is The adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, Missouri.

He runs away with his friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave and finally they find a box of gold.
My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his town funeral. He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive.
Tom is the hero of the story, but there are another important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him . Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom’s best friend and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.
The theme of the story is about children growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behavior.
Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story. Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on--read it! I know you’ll enjoy it, too.

Like most teachers, on the very first day of school, Mrs. Black told her students she was kind and she loved them all the same. But that was impossible because in the front row was a little boy named Teddy. With dirty clothes, Teddy could be unpleasant.
At the school where Mrs. Black taught, she was required to receive each child’s past record and she put Teddy’s off until last. However, when she received it, she was quite surprised.
Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work well and has good manners....he is a joy to be around.”
His second grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness.”
His third grade teacher wrote, “His mother’s death has been hard on him. Teddy doesn’t show much interest in school and sometimes sleeps in class.”
By now, Mrs. Black realized the problem and she was ashamed（羞愧的）of herself. On the very day, she gave up teaching reading, and writing. Instead he began to teach children. Mrs. Black paid special attention to Teddy. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.
Six years later, she received a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was the best teacher he ever had in his whole life.
Four years after that, she got another letter, saying that he would soon graduate from college with the highest honor（荣誉）.
Then four more years passed and yet another letter came. This time, Teddy said he was going to be married and invited Mrs. Black to his wedding. At the wedding, Teddy whispered in Mrs. Black’s ear, “Thank you Mrs. Black for believing in me. Thank you so much for making me feel important and showing me that I could make a difference.”
Mrs. Black, with tears in eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”
22.Why did Mrs. Black told her students she loved them all the same
She was required to love them by her school.
She was so excited that she just wanted to say it.
She wanted to show that she was kind and friendly.
She felt lonely and hoped to have someone to talk to.

Mrs. Black didn’t teach children reading and writing any more.
Mrs. Black paid special attention only to Teddy and took good care of him.
Mrs. Black gave up her job as a teacher and helped people look after kids.
Mrs. Black not only taught students knowledge but also cared about them.
25.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A Special Wedding. B. The Best Teacher Ever
C. A Wonderful School D. Important Past Records
【答案】22-25 CADB
【解析】
22.细节理解题。根据文中第一段“Like most teachers, on the very first day of school, Mrs. Black told her students she was kind and she loved them all the same. ”可知答案选C。
23.词义猜测题。根据文章划线单词的句子“Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness.”以及后面的句子“His mother’s death has been hard on him. Teddy doesn’t show much interest in school and sometimes sleeps in class.”可知Teddy的母亲得的是一种糟糕的疾病并且已经去世了，所以答案选A。
24.语句释义题。根据划线句子前后文“By now, Mrs. Black realized the problem and she was ashamed（羞愧的）of herself. On the very day, she gave up teaching reading, and writing. Instead he began to teach children. Mrs. Black paid special attention to Teddy. By the end of the year, ”可知布莱克老师不仅教学生知识还教学生做人的道理，所以答案选D。
25.最佳标题题。根据文章整体故事的内容以及文章最后一句话“You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”可知最佳标题是围绕一位好老师展开叙述的，所以答案选B。

六、阅读并回答问题（共5题，每题2分，计10分）
In July, China introduced the “double reduction (双减)” policy. It hopes to reduce students’ learning burden (负担) by reducing homework and after-school classes. One month has passed since the new semester began. How do students feel about this new policy
“Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. “We are not encouraged to buy workbooks anymore. The exercises are mainly from the textbook.”
According to Shen, teachers now teach at a much slower pace (节奏). Students have enough time to process new knowledge. “Our teachers are also giving us more chances to do experiments and learn from real life,” said Shen. “For example, we went to research earthworms (蚯蚓) in a field during a biology class. This is a much better way to learn things than just hitting the books.”
For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in
after-school activities. “We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and drama. I have joined a group called ‘leadership development (领导力发展)’ where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond academic (学业的) study,” said Zhang.
Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now. But they think it’s not necessarily a good thing. “Exams push me to study harder. Besides my progress, more importantly, each exam shows my weak points as well,” Zhang said.
Shen also pointed out that when burden is lightened, self-discipline (自律) becomes the key. “Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind your peers (同龄人),” he said.
