“The Wicked Witch of the West is dead!” says Dorothy to her friends.
Everyone is very happy.
“We must go back to the Wizard(男巫) of Oz and tell him,” says Dorothy.
Soon, Dorothy and her friends arrive at the Emerald City. They are given glasses and led to the Wizard’s room. But no one is there.
A voice says, “I am the Wizard of Oz.”
“Where are you ” asks Dorothy.
“I am everywhere, but you can’t see me,” says the Wizard. “Who are you and what do you want ”
“Don’t you remember us I’m Dorothy! I’m here with my friends—the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Lion. The Wicked Witch of the West is dead and you must keep your promise. I want to go home to Kansas.”
“Yes,” says the Scarecrow. “You must give me a brain.”
“And you must give me a heart,” says the Tin Woodman.
“And I want some courage,” says the Lion.
“Is she really dead ” asks the Wizard.
“Yes, she is!” the friends all say.
“Come back tomorrow,” says the Wizard. “I must think about it.”
“No way! I’m going to eat you!” shouts the angry Lion.
Dorothy’s pet dog Toto, afraid of the Lion, jumps up and hits a big screen. It falls over and the friends see a little old man. They can’t believe their eyes.
“Who are you ” asks Dorothy.
“I am the Great Oz,” says the little man. “Please don’t hurt me!” “But the Wizard is a big head with no body,” says Dorothy.
“No, it’s a beautiful woman,” says the Scarecrow.
“You’re wrong. It’s a monster with five eyes, five arms and five legs,” says the Tin Woodman.
“No,” says the Lion. “The Wizard is a big ball of fire.”
“You are all wrong,” says the little man quietly. “__________ I’m from Kansas too. I like travelling in hot-air balloons. That’s why I’m here. The people here think I’m a wizard because I come from the sky,” says the little man. “I live inside this room and never go out. I can’t let anyone see me. I must make everyone think I’m a real wizard.”
“The Emerald City isn’t green,” continued the little man sadly. “It just looks green, because everyone wears green glasses. I have no magic. It’s only a trick! Everything here is a trick!”

（2024·江苏扬州·二模）One night when they were near Treasure Island, Jim wanted an apple from the large barrel (桶) on the deck. There were only a few apples left, so he climbed inside the barrel and sat in the dark, eating. Suddenly somebody sat down beside the barrel. Jim was going to jump out but he heard Long John Silver speaking.
“Flint was the captain.” said Long John Silver, “and I was like him. The cannon (大炮) took away my leg and blinded old Pew as well. But we came home with a ship full of gold. I always did well with Flint. Most of his men are with me.”
“Well, I’m with you, too, John,” answered a young voice. It was Dick, the youngest sailor on board.
Jim understood immediately that most of the ship’s crew (工作人员) were pirates. They planned to take the treasure. And now the new boy Dick was one of them, too.
“I told you that Dick was a good boy,” said another voice. It was Israel Hands, another sailor and a good friend of Long John Sliver.
“But how long are we going to wait ”
“Well, we can kill them now,” said Long John Silver.
“Or we can do it on the island, when treasure is safely on the ship. Or we can wait until Captain Smollett has set the course for home, because none of us know how to do that.”
Jim jumped out of the barrel as no one was looking, and ran over to Dr Livesey. He found a chance to tell the doctor, the captain and the squire (乡绅) everything.
“It’s strange,” said the captain, “This crew seems fine. Listen, this is what I think: first, we must go on, because if we turn back now, the crew will fight against us immediately; second, we have time to think of a plan until we find the treasure; third, ________ We have your servants, Mr Trelawney, and ourselves, so that is seven out of twenty-six.”

（2024·江苏扬州·二模）One day we were waiting outside one of the London parks when a black dirty cab drove up beside ours. The horse was brown, with bones that showed through her coat. There was a hopeless look in her eyes and her breathing was very bad. I wondered where I’d seen her before. Then she looked straight at me.
“Black Beauty, is that you ” she said.
It was Ginger! But how different she looked! She used to be in good shape and full of life.
I moved closer to her so that we could have a quiet talk, and it was a sad story that she told me. After twelve months’ rest at Earlshall, she was considered to be ready to work again, and was sold to a gentleman. She got on well for a little while, but after a long run one day, she became ill again and was seen by a horse-doctor, then sold. In this way, she went from owner to owner several times, each one poorer than the one before.
“So at last I was bought by a man who keeps a number of cabs and horses, and hires them out,” said Ginger.“You look happy and comfortable with life as a cab horse, and I’m glad, but it’s different for me. They whip (抽打) me and work me seven days a week. ”
“You used to stand up and fight when people treated you badly,” I said.
“Yes, I did once,” said Ginger. “But men are stronger than we are, and if they’re awful and have no feelings, then there’s nothing we can do about it. Oh, I wish the end would come. ”
I was very sad. I put my nose against hers but could find nothing to say that would cheer her up. I think she was glad to see me, because she said, “You’re the only friend I ever had.”
A few weeks after this, a cab with a horse in it passed by ours. It was a brown horse with a long thin neck and didn’t move at all. I believed it was Ginger. I hoped it was, because then her troubles would be over.
25．How did Ginger look when meeting Black Beauty outside one of the London parks

（2024·江苏·二模）Looking back at these past three years
I remember many things
Trying to be on time for morning readings
Running when the lunch bell rings
I remember the excitement
Of the school sports day each year
The many long hours of training
Pride of overcoming fear
I remember starting day one
The shyest in my whole class
Never speaking to anyone
And thinking I would not pass
Then slowly I made some new friends
To remember forever
Helping each other with homework
Getting better together
Preparing for art festivals
And making a great big mess
Having fun at New Year’s parties
Wishing everyone the best
We have learned a different language
That is from a foreign land
English brings many challenges
We work hard to ________
And now it’s time to graduate
We will leave our lovely school
I can’t believe it’s been three years
I’m trying to keep myself cool
But it’s difficult not to cry
I’ll miss the school trees and flowers
And our kind and caring teachers
Wonderful memories of ours

After crossing the river, Dorothy and her friends came to a flower field, with many other colourful flowers next to it.
“How beautiful!” Dorothy said.
“When I have brains, I will probably like them better.” the Scarecrow said.
“If I had a heart, I would love them.” added the Tin Woodman.

But Dorothy didn’t know this. Soon Dorothy’s eyes grew so heavy that she felt she had to sleep. Dorothy fell among the poppies, fast asleep.

And although it was a strange dream that allowed a dead man to think and feel, she had brought him back to life with her kisses and made him as happy as a king. He smiled as he walked.

Balthasar said nothing. He stared at the ground, avoiding Romeo’s eyes. Romeo stopped his dancing. Balthasar was crying.
“She’s well. So nothing can be wrong,” said Balthasar. He turned his back on Romeo and blurted, “Her body’s sleeping in Capulet’s tomb (坟墓) and her soul’s among the angels.”
Romeo felt cold, even in that terrible heat. His expression doubted his servant’s statement. “I watched them putting her in the tomb their family vault,” said Balthasar, “and then came straight to you.” He saw the pain in Romeo’s face and wished he could think of some way of comforting him.
“It can’t be!” said Romeo at last. He turned away. “The stars are against us. But I won’t give into them!” He turned back to Balthasar. “Go and get me some paper and ink and hire us some horses.”
“I beg of you, sir,” said Balthasar, “be careful. You’re sad and I’m worried that something bad is going to happen.” “You’re wrong,” said Romeo. “Just do as I tell you. Haven’t you got a letter from the Friar ”

“The Wicked Witch of the West is dead!” says Dorothy to her friends.
Everyone is very happy.
“We must go back to the Wizard(男巫) of Oz and tell him,” says Dorothy.
Soon, Dorothy and her friends arrive at the Emerald City. They are given glasses and led to the Wizard’s room. But no one is there.
A voice says, “I am the Wizard of Oz.”
“Where are you ” asks Dorothy.
“I am everywhere, but you can’t see me,” says the Wizard. “Who are you and what do you want ”
“Don’t you remember us I’m Dorothy! I’m here with my friends—the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Lion. The Wicked Witch of the West is dead and you must keep your promise. I want to go home to Kansas.”
“Yes,” says the Scarecrow. “You must give me a brain.”
“And you must give me a heart,” says the Tin Woodman.
“And I want some courage,” says the Lion.
“Is she really dead ” asks the Wizard.
“Yes, she is!” the friends all say.
“Come back tomorrow,” says the Wizard. “I must think about it.”
“No way! I’m going to eat you!” shouts the angry Lion.
Dorothy’s pet dog Toto, afraid of the Lion, jumps up and hits a big screen. It falls over and the friends see a little old man. They can’t believe their eyes.
“Who are you ” asks Dorothy.
“I am the Great Oz,” says the little man. “Please don’t hurt me!” “But the Wizard is a big head with no body,” says Dorothy.
“No, it’s a beautiful woman,” says the Scarecrow.
“You’re wrong. It’s a monster with five eyes, five arms and five legs,” says the Tin Woodman.
“No,” says the Lion. “The Wizard is a big ball of fire.”
“You are all wrong,” says the little man quietly. “__________ I’m from Kansas too. I like travelling in hot-air balloons. That’s why I’m here. The people here think I’m a wizard because I come from the sky,” says the little man. “I live inside this room and never go out. I can’t let anyone see me. I must make everyone think I’m a real wizard.”
“The Emerald City isn’t green,” continued the little man sadly. “It just looks green, because everyone wears green glasses. I have no magic. It’s only a trick! Everything here is a trick!”

Jim was going to jump out but he heard Long John Silver speaking.
“Flint was the captain.” said Long John Silver, “and I was like him. The cannon (大炮) took away my leg and blinded old Pew as well. But we came home with a ship full of gold. I always did well with Flint. Most of his men are with me.”
“Well, I’m with you, too, John,” answered a young voice. It was Dick, the youngest sailor on board.

（2024·江苏扬州·二模）One day we were waiting outside one of the London parks when a black dirty cab drove up beside ours. The horse was brown, with bones that showed through her coat. There was a hopeless look in her eyes and her breathing was very bad. I wondered where I’d seen her before. Then she looked straight at me.
“Black Beauty, is that you ” she said.
It was Ginger! But how different she looked! She used to be in good shape and full of life.
I moved closer to her so that we could have a quiet talk, and it was a sad story that she told me. After twelve months’ rest at Earlshall, she was considered to be ready to work again, and was sold to a gentleman. She got on well for a little while, but after a long run one day, she became ill again and was seen by a horse-doctor, then sold. In this way, she went from owner to owner several times, each one poorer than the one before.
“So at last I was bought by a man who keeps a number of cabs and horses, and hires them out,” said Ginger.“You look happy and comfortable with life as a cab horse, and I’m glad, but it’s different for me. They whip (抽打) me and work me seven days a week. ”
“You used to stand up and fight when people treated you badly,” I said.
“Yes, I did once,” said Ginger. “But men are stronger than we are, and if they’re awful and have no feelings, then there’s nothing we can do about it. Oh, I wish the end would come. ”
I was very sad. I put my nose against hers but could find nothing to say that would cheer her up. I think she was glad to see me, because she said, “You’re the only friend I ever had.”
A few weeks after this, a cab with a horse in it passed by ours. It was a brown horse with a long thin neck and didn’t move at all. I believed it was Ginger. I hoped it was, because then her troubles would be over.

I remember many things
Trying to be on time for morning readings
Running when the lunch bell rings
I remember the excitement
Of the school sports day each year
The many long hours of training
Pride of overcoming fear
I remember starting day one
The shyest in my whole class
Never speaking to anyone
And thinking I would not pass
Then slowly I made some new friends
To remember forever
Helping each other with homework
Getting better together
Preparing for art festivals
And making a great big mess
Having fun at New Year’s parties

That is from a foreign land
English brings many challenges

And now it’s time to graduate
We will leave our lovely school

I’m trying to keep myself cool
But it’s difficult not to cry
I’ll miss the school trees and flowers
And our kind and caring teachers
Wonderful memories of ours

After crossing the river, Dorothy and her friends came to a flower field, with many other colourful flowers next to it.
“How beautiful!” Dorothy said.
“When I have brains, I will probably like them better.” the Scarecrow said.
“If I had a heart, I would love them.” added the Tin Woodman.
“I always liked flowers.” the Lion said. “But there are none in the forest so bright as these.”
Soon they found themselves in the middle of poppies. It is known that when there are many of these flowers together, their strong smell will make anyone breathing it fall asleep, even sleep forever. But Dorothy didn’t know this. Soon Dorothy’s eyes grew so heavy that she felt she had to sleep. Dorothy fell among the poppies, fast asleep.
“The smell is killing us all. If we leave her here, she will die.” said the Lion. “I can hardly keep my eyes open, and the dog Toto is asleep already.”
“Run fast and get out of here.” said the Scarecrow to the Lion, “We can carry the little girl, but you are too heavy.”
The Lion ran as fast as possible but he fell asleep before he was out of the field. Luckily, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman were not troubled by the smell. They made a chair with their hands and carried Dorothy through the flowers to the grass far enough from the poppy field.
The Tin Woodman built a truck and pulled the Lion with the Scarecrow. The sweet fresh air woke Dorothy, Toto and the Lion. Soon they continued their journey.

（2024·江苏宿迁·二模）Romeo had been in a good mood all morning. He’d had a dream that he was about to receive some good news. He was lighthearted and he walked through the streets of Mantua feeling that his feet weren’t touching the ground.
His dream was that Juliet had found him dead. And although it was a strange dream that allowed a dead man to think and feel, she had brought him back to life with her kisses and made him as happy as a king. He smiled as he walked. It just showed how wonderful the real thing was if even dreams about love could make you feel so good. Wasn’t that his man, Balthasar, coming down the street It was. It must be good news from Verona.
“Balthasar,” he said. “Have you got a letter from the Friar How’s my wife And my father Is he alright ” Romeo did a little jig, dancing round his servant. “How’s my Juliet I’m asking that because if she’s well then everything is wonderful.”
Balthasar said nothing. He stared at the ground, avoiding Romeo’s eyes. Romeo stopped his dancing. Balthasar was crying.
“She’s well. So nothing can be wrong,” said Balthasar. He turned his back on Romeo and blurted, “Her body’s sleeping in Capulet’s tomb (坟墓) and her soul’s among the angels.”
Romeo felt cold, even in that terrible heat. His expression doubted his servant’s statement. “I watched them putting her in the tomb their family vault,” said Balthasar, “and then came straight to you.” He saw the pain in Romeo’s face and wished he could think of some way of comforting him.
“It can’t be!” said Romeo at last. He turned away. “The stars are against us. But I won’t give into them!” He turned back to Balthasar. “Go and get me some paper and ink and hire us some horses.”
“I beg of you, sir,” said Balthasar, “be careful. You’re sad and I’m worried that something bad is going to happen.” “You’re wrong,” said Romeo. “Just do as I tell you. Haven’t you got a letter from the Friar ”
“No.”
“It doesn’t matter. Go and get the horses. I’ll see you later.”
