(2025·杨浦模拟)Lost luggageBy Tom Church
Two years ago, I went on holiday to Rome with my family. It was a four-hour train journey from our home, and we all helped to plan the trip. We were looking forward to seeing the famous sights! Everything went really well and we had a great time visiting the amazing tourist attractions. I was in charge of taking all the photos with my brand new phone, which had an excellent camera. We stayed in Rome for two weeks, and it was really amazing.
On the train journey back home, I decided to open my backpack, but I couldn't find it. All my memories of Rome were in that backpack. I was very upset because I'd packed my phone in that backpack, along with my travel diary. I knew I would never see my new phone again. Weeks passed, and then months. At first, I contacted the train company every week, but after some time, it was clear that my backpack was never going to be found. After a while, I forgot all about it.
Last month, I took the train to Florence on a school trip. Unbelievably, my backpack went missing again! I searched and searched, but it was nowhere to be seen! After Rome, I always kept my phone and other important items in my pockets.
Two weeks after the Florence trip, I received a phone call from the train company. They told me they had my backpack, and they would send it to the station in my city. I assumed it was my backpack from the school trip. But, this time, there were no precious memories inside. Someone from the train company had found the backpack from Rome in a dusty old cupboard! Everything inside it was safe, and I finally got to share the photos with my family. It was so wonderful to see them. I decided we should all go back to Rome for another holiday...but this time, I would be much more careful with my things!

One day when Kelly, my daughter, was out, I entered her room to look for a book, only to find the room rather messy. I decided to tidy it up and it was no surprise that my daughter was angry about it when she was back.
I couldn't blame her, as no one likes to feel violated (侵犯). After that, it seemed like I saw the CAUTION tape more than I saw my daughter's face. The door to her room, like the door to her thoughts, was often closed. She spent more and more time by herself and was less and less interested in family movie night. I began to look for a way back into her world.
One Saturday evening, we went shopping for some clothes for she grew bigger. The errand (差事) became a totally fun outing because we were together with great joy. We shopped, joked, laughed and laughed.
Besides, we entered a tea shop, tried some of their blend (混合茶叶) and bought a box of a flavor we both liked. Once the weather turns cold, it is always tea season in our house. This year, with our new tea flavor on tap, I enjoyed switching the kettle on and shared the tea. A knock on my daughter's door followed by "Tea, here..." was always welcomed. I no longer nagged (不停唠叨) about her homework. I no longer nagged about the dirty clothes on the floor. I no longer tried to ask for information about her social circle. For that moment, I just brought her a cup of tea, and nothing more.
My ticket into her room came with hot water and a bag of tea leaves. By offering this simple comfort, I gained some quality time with my daughter.
13.It was surprising that Kelly was angry with what her mother did, wasn't it
14.Please list an example which shows the door to Kelly's thoughts was closed.
15.Who made the tea, Kelly or the writer
16.What did the writer no longer nag about

"Look at this!" I said to my friend Mandy, holding up the bright-red flyer (传单) I found in the library. "There's a five-day art camp at White Cliff this summer."
Mandy looked at the paper and paused. "It's the last week of July," she said. "That's the same time as the Hill County Fair. "

Sitting on the front steps, I thought about the camp, wishing I could feel a little braver. Mandy could make friends in minutes, but my stomach twisted at the thought of it. I began drawing the pine's strong trunk and branches, letting my worries melt away. Just then, Mr. Weston walked by.

Brooke has just become the 12-ranked rock climbers in the world. One of her coaches explains that she's so good because she has really strong fingers and the amazing flexibility (柔韧性) of a child. That helps her a lot and means she can do things older climbers have never thought of doing.

Her father stopped climbing some years ago, but her mother, Robyn, who won four world cup titles one after another for four years, is still climbing.

(2025·青浦模拟)Lucy Larcom was one of the most famous poets in America. Today she is best remembered for her book, A New England Girlhood, which tells about her growing-up years as a mill (工厂) girl.
Lucy was born in 1824. As a young girl, she enjoyed exploring the woods near her house and playing with her brothers and sisters.
When Lucy was 7 years old, her father died suddenly, turning her life upside down forever. Lucy's mother struggled to find the money to feed and clothe her big family. Not many jobs were open to women then. One of the few places women could find paid work was in the water-powered cloth mills. So Mrs Larcom made a difficult decision. She uprooted her family from the quiet village and moved to the busy factory town of Lowell.
In Lowell, Lucy's older sisters quickly found jobs in the cotton mills. Lucy attended the local elementary school. When Lucy turned 11, her mother told her that it was time for her to follow her older sisters into the cotton mills. The family needs the money Lucy could earn.
At first, Lucy was excited about becoming a mill girl. Helping to support her family made her feel grown up. Besides, she disliked her school in Lowell because she was afraid of the schoolmaster, who whipped his students with a leather strap when they forgot their lessons. Yet working at the cotton mill was much harder than Lucy had ever imagined.
At the end of her first year in the cotton mill, Lucy got a great chance to go back to school for three months. Those days back at school were a huge success. Her kind and dedicated new teacher made learning a delight. Lucy moved ahead so quickly with her lessons that by the end of her short school term she was ready to progress to high school.
Lucy dreamt of leaving her mill girl days behind to attend high school. However, she knew that her family needed the money, so she returned to the hated mill, feeling 82 . When Lucy turned 21, she finally left the mill for good. Eager to continue her education, she then went to a women's college. When Lucy finished her training in 1853, she became a teacher at Wheaton School. There she founded a literary society. And her poetry began to appear in newspapers and magazines.
In the book, Lucy emphasized that she never regretted her years working as a mill girl. "I had early been saved from a great mistake; for it is the greatest of mistakes to begin life with the expectation that is going to be easy, or with the wish to have it so. What a world it would be, if there were no hills to climb! "

I was seven when I went to Ireland to spend a week with my grandparents. Grandma welcomed me into their cottage by the sea. It was a strange feeling since I hadn't seen her for a long time.
The following day, I became ill with a cold. I wanted to explore the cliffs, but had to stay in with Grandma. She was knitting (编织).
"Jane, would you like to learn "
"Yes."
She gave me a pair of wooden needles and some soft blue-green wool, the colour of all the seas and oceans. Wrapping her arms around me, Grandma taught me the art of that ancient craft. I watched her move. Her piece was full of beautiful patterns (图案). They were intricate (复杂精细的) .
"How do you know what to do "
"I have it in here," she said, pointing to her head. "My mother taught me this pattern. It tells a story of the sea and the people who live near it."
"The cables are ropes and are wishes of safety for the fishermen off the coasts. These zigzags remind me of the cliff paths I hope you'll walk with me and pick flowers along the way. And then my favourite is the diamond. It tells me to treasure all in this life. With each stitch (一针), more love is added to the sweater, and the knitter always knows for whom she is knitting." I loved the way I connected stitches together, one at a time, just like what Grandma said.
All too soon, it was time to go. I wore my sweater Grandma made me, and I gave her the scarf that I had worked so hard on. It showed how I felt about Grandma.
I never saw her again. But she is with me often, not only because ________ but also because ________. Especially when I later passed her gift on to my own daughter. We knit in blues and greens, and talk about the colour of the sea in Ireland. One day we hope to see it together.

Just after 4:00 pm, Addy heard a strange noise. The lights in the museum flickered (闪烁) and then went out. Outside, the sidewalks were crowded, and buses were full. People were shouting, "Blackout! The power is out!"
"Oh no," said Addy's mom. "The subway won't work."
"How will we get back to Brooklyn by 5:30 for my audition (试镜) " Addy cried.
Her mom held her hand, and they started walking in the hot August air. She pulled out her phone. "No service," she sighed. "I hope your sister isn't stuck underground. Zelda's normally headed home by now," Addy's mom said, looking concerned.
By 5:00, Addy's feet hurt from walking, but what bothered (使不安) her more was the worry in her head.
Addy and her mom searched for an empty taxi. After six blocks, they finally got one. Just then, Addy saw an elderly man waving his cane (手杖). Although she was eager to get home, Addy suggested giving the man their taxi.
As they kept walking, a man outside a pizza shop gave them free slices. Addy looked at her mom curiously. "No power means no refrigeration, microwaves, or ovens. If this blackout isn't fixed, a lot of food will go bad." Suddenly Addy's headache got worse.
"I'm sure your audition wasn't canceled," Addy's mom said when she saw Addy's worried face. Addy's feet hurt so much that she couldn't even imagine dancing. Her head hurt too, but it wasn't what her mom thought.
Addy took a bite of her pizza. She didn't realize she was hungry. How long would the blackout last Would her family run out of food What about everyone else
They reached the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset. They were almost home.
That night, Addy's family climbed the steps to the roof. This was something they did often, but tonight was special. They saw stars they had never noticed before shining over the bridge. It looked almost magical, like a bridge to a castle. They saw a long line of people still crossing, slowly heading home. Addy danced in the darkness under the stars, happy to be home, sweet home.

Ordinary
I know I'm not an ordinary ten-year-old kid though I do ordinary things. And I feel ordinary inside. But I know ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. I know ordinary kids don't get stared at wherever they go. It's all because of my face.
But I'm kind of used to how I look by now. I know how to pretend I don't see the faces people make. We've all got pretty good at that kind of thing: me, Mom and Dad, Via. Actually, I take that back: Via's not so good at it. For instance, one time in the playground some older kids made some noises about me. I didn't hear them myself, but Via heard and she just started yelling at them.
Via doesn't see me as ordinary. And Mom and Dad don't see me as ordinary, either. They see me as extraordinary (不凡的). I think the only person in the world who realizes how ordinary I am is me. My name is August, by the way. I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.
Next week I will start fifth grade. Since I've never been to a real school before, I have a lot on my mind. Does that mean I can run freely in the football field with other kids I can nearly smell the freedom in the air! But… will the teachers and kids be nice to me Will I have lots of friends … I feel both ________ and ________.
People think I haven't gone to school because of the way I look, but it's not that. Do you know how many surgeries (手术) I've had Twenty-seven since I was born. The bigger ones happened before I was even four years old, so I don't remember those. But I've had two or three surgeries every year since then. I'm also small for my age, and I have some other health problems that even doctors couldn't explain, so I used to get sick a lot. That's why my parents decided it was better if I didn't go to school. I'm much stronger now, though.
—Adapted (改编) from Wonder by R. J. Palacio
49.In the eyes of strangers, what makes August not ordinary
50.What does the underlined phrase "that kind of thing" refer to
51.According to August, who sees him as ordinary
52.How does August feel about going to a real school soon Complete the sentence.

A Magic Filter (滤镜)
Steph just posted (发布) a photo of her brunch with flowers "borrowed" from her neighbor's garden. It looked perfect thanks to a photo editing app called TrueBeauty. However, the food had turned cold after she had worked on her photo, so she threw it away.
On the other side of the city, Matt tried to take a good gym selfie (自拍照) with cooking oil on his body to make it shiny, but wasn't happy with the results. Then he saw the ad of TrueBeauty. With one touch, his body looked amazing right away. He posted the photo online and got in the shower to wash the oil off. Both Steph and Matt were surprised to get so many negative comments later. Somehow, Steph's latest post showed eggs with flies all over them, coffee that looked grey and dead flowers, while Matt's showed his body being covered in something that looked like dirty butter. They tried to delete the photos but failed. Then they received a message from the app developer:
Dear User, Are you as beautiful inside as you seem outside If you want your pictures to show the real you, try being as beautiful in real life as you are on your social media. Have a truly beautiful day! Love, TrueBeauty PS. Once you use our filter (滤镜), all your future photos will have it automatically!
To hide the ugly picture, Steph made her account (账号) private. She didn't want to do anything if she couldn't post photos of it on social media. Depressed and empty, Steph went downstairs. There she met Mrs. Robinson in her garden. Without anything else to do, Steph joined her in taking care of her flowers.
The following couple of hours made her feel happy again. Afterward, Mrs. Robinson suggested that they take a selfie together to mark the day.
Steph loved the picture very much. She thought it was a real pity not to share it, so she posted the picture. When it went online, it looked exactly the same! Then she made her account public again and added the text to the photo: "Me and my neighbor in her garden #TrueBeauty."
As Matt, one of Steph's followers, read her post, he had an idea. He knocked on his neighbor's door to offer to help take her rubbish to the bins along with his.
At the recycling bins, Matt took a selfie and posted it online with #TrueBeauty. His picture turned out to be just a smiling guy doing something ordinary. It was a truly beautiful photo.
55.What did Steph do with her brunch after posting a photo of it
56.The TrueBeauty app made Steph and Matt more popular on social media, didn't it

I regret to inform you that your order for bed clothes and curtains will not arrive on schedule.

As soon as we receive it, my company will also give your order priority. After all, you are a valuable customer for us. We'll try to get all the bed clothes and curtains done as soon as possible.

It was Saturday that day. Luke was wearing his basketball clothes, waiting for his chance to play but until last week, nobody asked him to play. Although the 18-year-old student does well in playing basketball, his coach wouldn't like to bring Luke into play. This is because it isn't easy for Luke to see things even when he wears glasses. He has to try his best to aim at the basketball hoop① by focusing on the right corner of his glasses. His mother said that he was born with cerebral palsy②.
On the high school's Senior Night last week, Luke's coach finally called him to play during the final minute of the game. With the teammates already coming to give him a warm welcome, Luke got into position as the crowd cheered him up.
"I want to get him in. It was Senior Night, the most important moment for every player in the team." the head coach told the reporters, "If there was a chance for him, I would want to take advantage of it."
Once the game was back in play, one of Luke's teammates passed him the ball. Though he had been practising shooting hoops since he was in the third grade, this was the first time he had ever taken a shot on his high school basketball team. He took a deep breath to release the nervous feeling.
As the watchers waited, Luke took the shot and dropped the ball. It fell through the net, hardly touching the hoop. He made it! In fact, his score helped the team win the game. All his teammates came to hug him, showing great admiration③ and respect.
"I heard the watchers calling my name," Luke told the news reporters. "They were jumping and shouting. I still can't believe I was awarded the title of MVP (Most Valuable Player) of this game."

A walk in the forest
I'm Grace. I live on a farm with my parents and take Benji, my pet dog, for a walk most days after school.
Wednesday
As I was going through the forest it started raining hard. Suddenly, I slipped and fell on the ground. Ouch! That hurt. Then a voice said, "Are you all right That was a bad fall." I looked up and saw a boy about my age. He helped me up. "I haven't seen you at school. Do you live near here " I asked. "No, I'm from Manchester," he said. "Listen! I have to go. Are you OK to walk home Do you need help " "No, I'm fine. Thanks!" I said, then the boy walked away.

He was Mark. "Should I say something No, I mustn't say anything. Maybe he has a good reason. I have to talk to him first." I said to myself.
Thursday
I found Mark in the forest. I said, "Your dad was on TV last night. The police are looking for you." He looked shocked and asked, "Did you say anything Have you told them " "No," I said. "I wanted to talk to you first. Why have you run away " He looked at the ground and said, "I had a big argument with my dad. My mum died four years ago. It was very hard for me and for Dad. But then he met someone new. Mel's her name. She wants my dad for herself and isn't interested in me. My dad keeps telling me to make an effort with her, but I can't. The night I ran away, he told me that we would all move to London because Mel's from London. But my grandpa and my friends are in Manchester. I don't want to move to London. We both got angry. So I took my tent and left in the middle of the night."
I felt sorry for Mark, but I thought of his dad crying on TV and felt sorry for him too. "What are you going to do " I asked.
"I don't know. I need time to think," he replied.

(2024九上·松江模拟) Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)
As a tour guide in New York City, Jessica Higgins gets to share her love of the "Big Apple" with tourists from all over the world. She does it all from the top of a big red double-decker bus! When weather allows, most visitors choose to sit on the upper level so that they can enjoy the sunshine as they learn about the city.
Jessica has a microphone so everyone can hear her speak, and she keeps a water bottle nearby because she'll need it after hours and hours of talking. She must stay enthusiastic (热情的) throughout the tour to help everyone on the bus enjoy their trip!
The tour goes all around New York City, so Jessica has plenty of landmarks to talk about. She spends a few minutes telling everyone about the history of the Empire State Building before she points out where the famous "victory kiss" took place in Times Square after World War II. She answers any questions visitors have as well.
Jessica is responsible for the safety of her visitors as they enter and exit the bus. Tourists have the choice of joining or leaving the group at several locations. At each of these stops, Jessica says goodbye to people ready to shop, eat or explore on their own. She also helps the next wave of people settle in for the tour. As she does, she keeps a watchful eye out for any elderly or disabled tourists who might need a bit of extra help getting to their seat.
Jessica loves New York City and she considers it an honor to be able to introduce the "Big Apple" with visitors from all over the world. ▲ , ▲ and ▲ enable her to treat visitors with a truly attractive and informative tour.
