　　[热点素材][2020湖北咸宁中考]On Feb. 12, Dalian(not his real name)was taking a train to Changsha, Hunan, for a business trip. While on the train, he went into a carriage(车厢)to have lunch and chose to remain in the carriage. He didn't know that the carriage was only for people heading for Wuhan.
Several hours later, when the train arrived in Wuhan, Dalian was asked to get off, as he was in the special carriage. Although he was surprised, he didn't want to cause trouble and got off the carriage with just a single bag.
Because of the epidemic, Wuhan had been blocked off(封锁). So Dalian couldn't find a hotel to stay in. Feeling at a loss, he saw a notice online looking for volunteers to work in hospitals. Dalian decided to give it a try.
He soon became a volunteer in Wuhan No.1 Hospital. He was responsible for(对……负责)taking out rubbish, sweeping the floor, disinfecting(给……消毒)the hospital, dealing with used protective suits(防护服) and bringing meals to patients.
The young man reportedly had to work 12 hours every day, changing his protective suit three times a day. While working, he couldn't drink anything or go to the bathroom. He also had to have close contact with infected patients, which is risky(冒风险的).
Dalian was afraid of getting infected at first. "When I entered the wards(病房), I was kind of frozen(僵硬的)and felt like I couldn't move," he said.But after he saw more patients get better, his fear gradually went away.
Dalian's story has gone viral(走红的) online. People were surprised by his experience, and described him as having "a heart of gold".
1.Why did Dalian have to get off in Wuhan in the passage?
A. Because he was in the wrong carriage.
B. Because he bought the wrong train ticket.
C. Because he chose to have lunch in Wuhan.
D. Because he went to Wuhan for a business trip.
2.Dalian decided to work in a hospital because　　　　.
A. he ran out of money
B. he couldn't find a hotel to stay in
C. he was once a volunteer
D. he wanted to become a doctor
3.Dalian did many things as a volunteer in Wuhan No.1 Hospital EXCEPT 　　　　.

C. 被感染的 D. 被感动的
5.What does this passage try to tell us?
A. Everybody should be a volunteer.
B. We must protect ourselves all the time.
C. We should be thankful to medical workers.
D. Everyone can fight the virus(病毒)in their own way.
答案
　【解题导语】　本文讲的是疫情期间Dalian在武汉市第一医院当志愿者的经历。
1.A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的"While on the train...He didn't know...heading for Wuhan"及第二段中的"when the train arrived in Wuhan, Dalian was asked to get off, as he was in the special carriage"可知答案为A。
2.B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的"So Dalian couldn't find a hotel to stay in...Dalian decided to give it a try"可知答案为B。
3.A　细节理解题。根据第四段中的"He was responsible for(对……负责) taking out rubbish, sweeping the floor, disinfecting(给……消毒) the hospital, dealing with used protective suits(防护服) and bringing meals to patients"可知,Dalian在医院做的事情中不包括A项的内容。
4.C　词义猜测题。画线的词是infected,它修饰的词是patients"病人",再根据其后的"which is risky(冒风险的)"可推断,他不得不密切接触"被感染的"病人,故答案为C。
5.D　主旨大意题。本文通过讲述Dalian的故事告诉我们,每个人都能以自己的方式来和病毒抗争,故答案为D。

Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make someone else shocked.
After we play the trick, we say "April Fool". Then the poor person will realize he is fooled. It is generally done in the spirit of fun and doesn't cause any real harm (伤害) to anyone. Do you have any great jokes to play on anyone today? Try it out. Just don't forget to say "April Fool" 　5　 the other person begins looking a little confused.

[2018广西梧州中考]It's hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool's Day. On April 1st each year, people play tricks on each other. Classmates sometimes tie each other's shoelaces to their chairs. Teachers might arrange an impossibly difficult surprise test that makes students feel scared before they realize it's only a joke. Newspapers report on fake news (like a "UFO" lands in New York City) and announce fake contests (such as "Win an elephant!").
One April Fool's Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria. The chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers were flying everywhere. Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing numbered
tags around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens No.1, 2, 3, and 5. Where was chicken No.4? The teachers looked and looked. They couldn't find another chicken. After a few hours, they realized that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place! They've been tricked by the numbers on the chickens. It's been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool's Day remains one of my favorite memories from those years.

　　[2019四川凉山州中考]When I was a teenager growing up in a town, I felt studying very boring. I wanted to leave school and have my own life. There were only two ways for me to do this — working in the toy factory in my town, or getting married. I chose the first one. I was nervous when I told my father that I wanted to leave school. I thought he would say, "No! You are going to college." Instead, he surprised me when he said, "OK. We'll go to the toy factory."
Two days later, he took me to the factory. I had a very romantic(浪漫的) idea of working in a factory. I had imagined everyone to be friendly working together and having fun. I even imagined there would be music and singing. I guess I had watched too many movies as a teenager.
When we arrived at the factory gate, my father spoke to the guard and one minute later we went inside. My father said, "Take your time. Look around." I walked around the factory, looking at the buildings, the workers, and listening to the noise. It was terrible. I ran back to my father and said, "I want to go home."
He asked me, "What do you think of the factory?"
"It's terrible," I replied.
"You have the other choice if you don't want to go back to school. But I think getting married is even worse!" he said.
I went back to school the next day. From then on, I studied as hard as I could. Finally I got into a good college. I enjoyed studying English so I decided to major in it at college. Thanks to my father and our trip to the factory, now I work in a company which is a big one in a city. And my father takes pride in me. I married a very good man and my life is much better than it would have been working in the factory!

　　"In my opinion, Daisy, Mary's hands are the prettiest in our class."
　　 "Why? Miss Smith, they are as red and hard as they can be. How they would look if she tried to play on a piano! "Daisy said.
　　Miss Smith took Daisy's hands in hers, and said, "Your hands are very soft and white, just the hands to look beautiful on a piano; yet they don't have one beauty that Mary's hands do. Shall I tell you what the difference is? "
　　"Yes, please, Miss Smith." Daisy looked at Miss Smith, with eyes wide open.
　　"Well, Daisy, Mary's hands are very busy. They wash the dishes; they make fires; they hang clothes, and help to wash them, too; they are always trying to help her poor and hard-working mother."
　　 Miss Smith continued, "Besides, they wash and dress the children; they mend their toys and dress their dolls; yet, they find time to bathe the head of the little girl who is so sick in the next house."
"They do good deeds (行为) to every living thing. I have seen them patting the tired horse and the homeless dog in the street. They are always ready to help those who need help."
"I shall never think Mary's hands are ugly any more, Miss Smith," Daisy said that with tears in her eyes.
"I am glad to hear you say that, Daisy; and I must tell you that they are beautiful because they help others gladly and cheerfully."

　 　[2019江苏扬州中考] My father was a cemetery(公墓)keeper.When I was a child,he often took me there.Before we left each time,he would lay some stones on some graves(坟墓).I never asked why.I just thought this was part of his work.
Yesterday, I visited my sick father. He asked me to go to the cemetery and lay some stones. For some reason, it had to be done that day. I agreed. I hadn't been there for a long time.
When I got there, I found a woman in front of one of the graves I would lay a stone on.As I bent to lay it, I heard her whisper "Thank you." It was then that I noticed the date of death on the grave was that same day. The grave was that of a child, only five when he died fifteen years ago.
"He's my son," she said. "But, where's your father? He was always the one to leave the stone."
I told her that my father was ill but he asked me to do this. It seemed important to him."Your father's kindness means more to me than anything else. When my child died, I came often to see him. It is our custom to leave a stone. It tells the one who is here that he is thought of. But, then we moved away from here...so many painful memories...I was so afraid that he would be alone. But your father marked the grave every time he came. Each time I returned here, I saw that stone and it always comforted me. Your father is the kind of man who would ease the pain of a mother's heart though we are strangers. Just tell him you saw me today, won't you?" she said.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today my topic is "The Most Embarrassing Thing in My Life".
In our life we can always meet some things that make us embarrassed. And one of them may leave such a deep impression on us that we can never forget it.
For me, the most embarrassing thing that I can never forget happened in my middle school when I was in Junior Two. I still remember it was a Wednesday afternoon. Our school organized us to go on an outing(远足). And my class needed to be divided into several groups. After the discussion, a girl was left alone. No one wanted to be with her. Finally, the teacher let her in my group. All of my group members felt unwilling, but we had no choice. After the class, my friend and I went to the restroom. When we were washing our hands, I talked with my friend."I hate her!" I said."She is so odd(古怪的)that no one wants to play with her. Why did the teacher let her in our group?"
"I don't know," my friend answered."That is tough."
Suddenly, a door opened and someone appeared in front of us. It was exactly the girl that we were talking about! What an embarrassing thing! She heard all the words we said!
We stopped our actions and stared at the ground as if there were a hole on it. But she said nothing and walked by us straight without a glance. These seconds were the most embarrassing moment in my life.
This embarrassing thing left me a deep impression and it taught me that never speak ill of others behind their backs!
26.When did the most embarrassing thing that the writer can never forget happen?
A. When the writer was in Junior One.
B. When the writer was in Junior Three.
C. When the writer was in Junior Two.
D. When the writer was in primary school.
27.Why was the girl left alone?
A. Because she didn't want to go on an outing.
B. Because she was ugly.
C. Because the writer hated her.
D. Because no one wanted to be with her.
28.How did the writer feel about the girl?
A. She was interesting.
B. She was unlucky.
C. She was odd.
D. She was friendly.
29.What can we learn from the story?
A. Never speak ill of others behind their backs.
B. Never give up.
C. Never look down upon others.
D. We should learn to accept others.
30.What's the best title of the passage?
A. The Happiest Thing in My Life

In 1769, long before computers were invented, a man from Hungary(匈牙利)built a wonderful machine that could play chess very well. It delighted(使高兴) people all over Europe and beat nearly everyone it played with, including famous figures like Napoleon Bonaparte, and Benjamin Franklin. For decades, many people believed that it was truly a thinking machine.There were people who said it was a hoax, but could not prove it or explain how it worked. About 85 years later, the secret was finally revealed. There was a man hiding inside the machine all the time...who was obviously very good at playing chess!
ZOO ESCAPE
On November 9, 1874, New York newspaper, The Herald, ran a shocking story on its front page.It said that all the animals in the Central Park Zoo had escaped and were running around the city. It said the police were working to save people, but 27 people had already been killed, and 200 people hurt. It warned everyone to stay at home to avoid
danger. Many people in New York were terrified, and did as the paper said. If only they had read the final words of the article, which said, "Not one word of it is true. Not a single act described has taken place." It was all just a hoax. The story was made up by Thomas Connery, an editor at The Herald, who wanted to draw attention to the poor condition of cages in the zoo.
ROSIE THE RUNNER
The first woman to cross the finish line of the 1980 Boston Marathon(马拉松) was 27-year-old Rosie Ruiz.However, as she climbed the stairs to receive her prize, people started to become suspicious(怀疑的). She didn't seem to be tired at all.Furthermore, none of the other runners remembered seeing her, and her picture never appeared in photos or TV broadcasts of the race.Later, several people said that they had seen her join the race only at the end.
