（23-24八年级下·重庆彭水·期中）As more information comes out about 10-year-old Cindy Smith’s death (死亡), worries about amusement park safety (游乐场安全性) grow.
Cindy is not the first child who died on an amusement park ride. 25 years ago, the mother of a 14-year-old girl waited to pick up her daughter outside Worlds of Fun. Laura Barry never saw her daughter Rosie alive again.
“My heart goes out to the Smith family more than they can ever possibly know,” said Barry. She is one of the few people who truly know the hurt that family is feeling.
In 1995, Rosie’s mom said that something went wrong on the Timber Wolf the night Rosie died. Police found no evidence (证据). Two men told the police that they saw Rosie standing before she fell out of the car.
“I couldn’t believe that such a thing could happen still and again,” said Barry. She believes Rosie’s death should have been a wakeup call for amusement park safety.
She finds that not much has changed in the past years. Amusement parks race to build bigger, taller, faster rides. In her opinion, amusement parks just try to bring in visitors and give them the idea that riding is good, safe and fun. She believes that parks should have put safety first.
There is no exact number of amusement park deaths each year. It is quite low according to some websites. But Barry doesn’t accept that. “My daughter was the only person that had ever been killed at Worlds of Fun in all of the years, among all of the thousands and thousands of people that went there. The number doesn’t mean anything, you know, because when your child is the one, that’s one too many,” she said.
1．What does the underlined phrase “goes out to” mean in Chinese
A．制止 B．同情 C．想念 D．忍受
2．How did Barry feel when saying the words in Paragraph 5
A．Afraid. B．Angry. C．Hopeful. D．Interested.
3．What can we learn about amusement parks
A．They are building more rides. B．Most of them put safety first.
C．They cause a large number of deaths. D．They paid Barry a lot for Rosie’s death.
4．What is the text mainly about
A．The story of the Smith family. B．The death of a 10-year-old girl.
C．The safety of amusement parks. D．The future of amusement parks.
【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．C

1．词句猜测题。根据原文“As more information comes out about 10-year-old Cindy Smith’s death...”可知，史密斯家失去了女儿辛迪，可猜测此处“goes out to”指的是“同情”。故选B。

3． 细节理解题。根据原文“Amusement parks race to build bigger, taller, faster rides.”可知，游乐园在建更多的游乐设施。故选A。

I thought this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky. I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old daughter Meghan, “We have so much food and clothes, and those poor people now have nothing. We can share what we have with them.”
I filled a box with some food and old clothes. While I was doing this, I asked the boys to donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and put them in the box. Then she walked away. A few minutes later, she came back with Connie, her favorite toy. She put it on top of the other toys. “Oh, dear.” I said, “You don’t have to give Connie. You love Connie so much.”Meghan said, “Connie makes me happy, Mom. Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy, too.”
Meghan taught me a lesson. It’s easy to give something that we don’t want anymore, but hard to give what we love.
1．How many children are there in the family
A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.

During the Warring States Period, there lived a man named Su Qin. He tried to get a job as a government official (官员), but he failed. When he arrived home, his family looked down on him and didn’t want to speak to him. His sister-in-law (嫂子) treated him very badly and even didn’t want to offer any food to him. Su Qin felt very sad, but he didn’t give up on himself. He studied hard every day, and finally became good at the “zong-heng principle (纵横之术)”.
Later on, Su Qin traveled to many states (国家) and explained his idea to the kings. He told them that small states should unite (联合) together to fight against the strong state, Qin. Luckily, two states, Yan and Zhao, thought it was a good idea. Then the kings of the two states asked him to persuade other states to use his idea. In the end, Su Qin united six states and became the prime (丞相) of them.
One day, Su Qin passed by his hometown. His parents, brother, and sister-in-law all came out to welcome him. When he saw his sister-in-law, he laughed. He still remembered how she treated him in the past. Then he asked her, “You were rude to me before. But why do you look up to me now ” His sister-in-law answered, “You are an official now, so I can’t treat you like before.”
This is the story of Chinese idiom qianjuhougong (前倨后恭). It means someone treats people badly at first, but later respects him because of his high status (地位).
1．Why did Su Qin’s sister-in-law look down on him at first
A．Because he was very lazy. B．Because he didn’t study hard.
C．Because he treated his family badly. D．Because he failed to be a government official.

A．The state of Zhao. B．The state of Yan. C．The state of Qin. D．The state of Qi.

【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．D
【导语】本文讲述了苏秦在战国时期起初未能成为官员，遭家人轻视。但他勤奋学习，掌握了纵横之术，最终联合六国抗秦，并成为丞相。成功后，家人对他的态度由轻视转为尊敬，体现了“前倨后恭”的典故。
1．细节理解题。根据“He tried to get a job as a government official (官员), but he failed. When he arrived home, his family looked down on him and didn’t want to speak to him. His sister-in-law (嫂子) treated him very badly and even didn’t want to offer any food to him.”可知，他的嫂子最初看不起他，因为他未能当官。故选D。
2．细节理解题。根据“He told them that small states should unite (联合) together to fight against the strong state, Qin.”可知，秦国是当时的最强国。故选C。
3．词句猜测题。根据“Then the kings of the two states asked him to persuade other states to use his idea. In the end, Su Qin united six states and became the prime (丞相) of them.”可知，最终有6个国家联合起来对抗秦国，应该是这两个国家的皇帝让他去说服其他国家的皇帝接受他的想法，因此推测划线词语persuade的意思是“说服”。故选B。
4．推理判断题。根据“He studied hard every day, and finally became good at the ‘zong-heng principle (纵横之术)’.”“He told them that small states should unite (联合) together to fight against the strong state, Qin.”以及“In the end, Su Qin united six states and became the prime (丞相) of them.”可知，苏秦努力学习，精通了“纵横之术”，最终联合了六国来对抗强大的秦国。故选D。
（24-25八年级上·广东深圳·期末）According to Chinese legend (传说), the Meng family with an old childless couple, lived next door to the Jiang family—also an old childless couple—in Jiangnan. One year, Old Man Meng planted a gourd vine (葫芦藤). The vine grew into his neighbor’s yard and produced a gourd there. When they cut open the gourd, they found a baby girl inside. Surprised and happy, the two families decided to raise her together. They named her Meng Jiangnv.
When Meng Jiangnv grew up, she chose to marry a young man named Fan Xiliang. But on their wedding day, soldiers took Xiliang to work on the Great Wall. Life there was hard and many workers died. After a year without any news from Xiliang, Meng Jiangnv went to look for him. She traveled far to the Great Wall, only to learn that Xiliang had died from overwork and was buried under it.
Distraught, Meng Jiangnv cried and hit the wall, causing part of it to fall and uncover many bones. She then bit her finger and tested each bone with her blood, hoping to find her husband’s by seeing if the bones absorbed it. When she found Xiliang’s bones, she held them and cried.
The angry emperor of Qin Dynasty looked into the damage to his wall. When he saw Meng Jiangnv he fell for her beauty and wanted to marry her. Meng Jiangnv said she would only marry him on three conditions—first, her husband must be given a grand burial (葬礼); second, the emperor must mourn (哀悼) for Xiliang; and third, she wanted to visit the ocean.

1．细节理解题。根据第一段“When they cut open the gourd, they found a baby girl inside. Surprised and happy, the two families decided to raise her together.”可知，孟姜女是在孟家种的葫芦藤长到江家院子里结出的葫芦里被发现的，然后由两家共同抚养。故选B。

（23-24八年级下·重庆彭水·期中）As more information comes out about 10-year-old Cindy Smith’s death (死亡), worries about amusement park safety (游乐场安全性) grow.
Cindy is not the first child who died on an amusement park ride. 25 years ago, the mother of a 14-year-old girl waited to pick up her daughter outside Worlds of Fun. Laura Barry never saw her daughter Rosie alive again.
“My heart goes out to the Smith family more than they can ever possibly know,” said Barry. She is one of the few people who truly know the hurt that family is feeling.
In 1995, Rosie’s mom said that something went wrong on the Timber Wolf the night Rosie died. Police found no evidence (证据). Two men told the police that they saw Rosie standing before she fell out of the car.
“I couldn’t believe that such a thing could happen still and again,” said Barry. She believes Rosie’s death should have been a wakeup call for amusement park safety.
She finds that not much has changed in the past years. Amusement parks race to build bigger, taller, faster rides. In her opinion, amusement parks just try to bring in visitors and give them the idea that riding is good, safe and fun. She believes that parks should have put safety first.
There is no exact number of amusement park deaths each year. It is quite low according to some websites. But Barry doesn’t accept that. “My daughter was the only person that had ever been killed at Worlds of Fun in all of the years, among all of the thousands and thousands of people that went there. The number doesn’t mean anything, you know, because when your child is the one, that’s one too many,” she said.
1．What does the underlined phrase “goes out to” mean in Chinese
A．制止 B．同情 C．想念 D．忍受
2．How did Barry feel when saying the words in Paragraph 5
A．Afraid. B．Angry. C．Hopeful. D．Interested.

A．They are building more rides. B．Most of them put safety first.
C．They cause a large number of deaths. D．They paid Barry a lot for Rosie’s death.
4．What is the text mainly about
A．The story of the Smith family. B．The death of a 10-year-old girl.
C．The safety of amusement parks. D．The future of amusement parks.

（23-24八年级下·陕西渭南·期末）There was a terrible earthquake several days ago. Many people lost their lives and many houses fell down. After the earthquake, the newspapers reported many stories about families who were in trouble.
One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, a special picture touched me. It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky. I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old daughter Meghan, “We have so much food and clothes, and those poor people now have nothing. We can share what we have with them.”
I filled a box with some food and old clothes. While I was doing this, I asked the boys to donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and put them in the box. Then she walked away. A few minutes later, she came back with Connie, her favorite toy. She put it on top of the other toys. “Oh, dear.” I said, “You don’t have to give Connie. You love Connie so much.”Meghan said, “Connie makes me happy, Mom. Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy, too.”
