【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述一個睿智的老太太總是說正確的答案,一次孩子們抓到一只鳥,準備了兩個答案讓老太太回答,想要讓她出丑,沒想到老太太的回答依然睿智。

1

句意:她總是給孩子們正確的答案。

right正確的;funny有趣的;possible可能的。根據(jù)后文“____ way, she’ll be wrong.”講小男孩想要證明她會出錯,可知她總是給孩子們正確的答案。故選A。

2

句意:突然,他有了個注意,讓他的伙伴和他一起去。

play with it和它一起玩;go with him和他一起走;go back home回家。根據(jù)后文“The children agreed …went to the lady’s house.”可知,孩子們都同意這個男孩的計劃,并且和他一起去老太太的家里,所以男孩是讓小伙伴們和他一起去。故選B

3

句意:我會問她我的手里抓著什么,當然,她會回答我有一只鳥。

probably很可能;of course當然;successfully成功地。根據(jù)上文老太太給孩子們的答案都是正確的,所以男孩肯定也會猜到老太太會回答那是一只鳥,所以of course回答顯然或眾所周知的事實。故選B。

4

句意:如果她說鳥死了,我就會張開手讓鳥飛走。

close閉合;raise升起;open打開。根據(jù)上文“held it in his hands without anybody seeing it.”可知,男孩把鳥抓在手里不讓任何人看到,那么想要讓鳥飛走,那就只能張開手。故選C。

5

句意:如果她回答鳥活著,我會殺了它。

kill殺死;save保護,解救;fly飛。根據(jù)后文“show her the dead”,男孩為了讓老太太出丑,當她回答鳥活著的時候,他會給他展示一只死的鳥,所以他會殺死鳥。故選A

6

句意:每一個回答,都是錯的。

each每一;both兩個;all所有。橫線后way是可數(shù)名詞的單數(shù)形式,BC都是跟復(fù)數(shù)形式,不能選,只有each后能加名詞單數(shù)。故選A。

7

句意:所以他們上山去老太太的家里。

across穿過;down向下;up向上。根據(jù)第一段“There was … on a hill”可知,老太太住在山上,所以孩子們是上山。故選C。

8

句意:“老奶奶,我們有一個問題要問你!焙⒆觽兘衅饋。

present禮物;bird鳥;question問題。根據(jù)后文““What’s in my hands?” the little boy asked.”可知,他們是在向老太太提問題。故選C

9

句意:“那么是活的還是死的?”孩子們激動地問道。

quietly安靜地;excitedly激動地;worriedly擔(dān)心地。根據(jù)上文孩子針對老太太的回答準備兩種不同的回答,為的就是要捉弄老太太,以及下文“got ready to laugh at her.”他們已經(jīng)準備好要嘲笑她,所以此時他們的心情是激動的。故選B。

10

句意:男孩們等著她的回答。

waited for等待;listened to聽;thought of想起。根據(jù)后文“The old lady thought for a moment”可知,老太太思考了一會兒,在這一會兒的時候,男孩是在等待老太太的答案,并且準備嘲笑她。故選A。

If your math teacher assigns(分派) five problems you should do six. If your Chinese teacher assigns eight pages of reading, you should read nine. The more you practice, the more you learn.
Studying is a matter of personal preference(偏愛), so choose the way you are most comfortable with. Some people like working at night when the house is quiet, while others like doing their work early in the morning. Still others like studying as soon as they arrive home from school while the work is fresh in their minds. No matter which way you use, try to do your best.
Studying is your business and business comes before entertainment(娛樂). When you are studying, phone calls should go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks uneaten. Studying is the only thing in your mind. Nothing can pull you away from what you are studying.
Studying is like eating. You chew(咀嚼) it one bite at a time. You can plan what to do today, but don't do too much. When you can't finish the work you planned to do, you may lose confidence. On the other hand, you will not study well without a good plan. It all depends on how you arrange your time.

【題目】 In 2013, the H7N9 virus(病毒) hit Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and so on. It seemed that most people who were infected(被感染) with H7N9 had the common flu. Some people suffered from a fever or a cough.

Don’t be afraid— it’s not easy to be infected with the virus. Here is some advice to help you protect(保護) yourself when it comes.

Wash your hands. You need to wash your hands with soap and hot water before you eat, after you use the toilet(廁所), and after you touch animals, because your hands may carry viruses.

Cover your nose and mouth. When someone sneezes(打噴嚏)or coughs, flu viruses can travel as far as one meter through the air, so you’d better stand a proper distant(距離) while talking to someone who has a cold. And always cover your mouth and nose with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough, and then clean your hands.

Wear a mask(口罩). Some doctors say that masks can stop the flu as much as 80%, but if you don’t wash your hands often, it’s no use wearing a mask. And it’s necessary to wear the mask in the groups of people.

1When did the H7N9 virus hit Shanghai?

A.In 2018B.In 2015C.In 2012D.In 2013

【題目】 Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Here is a story to help you.

Once a bird lived unhappily. So it traveled far away to look for its happiness.

It flew and flew. Suddenly it saw a spider climbing up a wall. The spider fell off the wall halfway. But it kept climbing again and fell off again. Even so, the spider didn’t give up. The little bird asked the spider in surprise. “Why don’t you have pain but happiness on your face though you fail again and again?”

“Because I keep making my efforts. I’m happy.” said the spider.

Then the little bird saw it: happiness is a will in the heart.

The bird continued flying and saw a lame duck help a little duck who got lost to find the way back home. Although it was disabled, it had a smiling face.

“I’m happy because I can help others.” said the lame duck.

So the bird saw it: happiness is a love in the heart.

The bird went on flying and suddenly saw a little dying flower, whose face was full of smile. The bird didn’t know the reason. So it asked the little flower, “You’re going to die. Why are you still so happy?

“Because my dream will come true,” said the little flower.

“What is your dream?”

“To produce sweet fruit.”

The little bird saw it: happiness is a hope in the heart.
