Emil was a young schoolboy from a small town in Germany. One day, his mother gave him some money and asked him to fly to Berlin to see his grandmother. In order to save more money, Emil took a bus to the railway station. He was very careful not to lose the money and used a needle (针) to pin it to the inside of his jacket.
On the train to Berlin, Emil met a man called Grundeis. He was so hospitable that he offered Emil some chocolate. Emil fell asleep after eating it. When he woke up, Grundeis was gone, and so was the money! Emil got off immediately at an unfamiliar station, looking for Grundeis.
When Emil saw Grundeis in the crowd, he followed him. However, he was unable to catch him. A local boy named Gustav helped him. He gathered 24 local children who called themselves “detectives” and asked them to follow the thief.
Emil and the “detectives” followed Grundies to a hotel and kept watch on him all night. When morning came, they saw him go to a bank where he wanted to exchange the money for smaller bills. One of the boy “detectives” followed him into the bank and told the bank teller (柜员) that the money was stolen from someone else. Emil came in, too. He told the bank teller his story and proved that the money was his by describing the holes in the bills left by the needle.
Grundeis tried to run away, but Emil and his new friends held on tightly to him until a policeman arrived and caught him. Emil finally got his money back and could continue on to his grandmother’s home.

Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）:（12分）
Angela and Nick have just finished a history test. They are standing outside the classroom and are having a talk.
Angela: That was such a difficult test. It’s a good thing I studied so hard for it, or I
probably would have failed
Nick: Me, too. You go on ahead. I need to talk to Mr. Brown about something.
Angela: Oh, what about？
Nick: I saw a guy peering（瞥）at a piece of paper under the desk during the test.
Angela: Really？
Nick: Yeah. I think it was a cheat sheet.
Angela: And you’re going to tell the teacher？Why？He probably had a really
busy week and didn’t have time to study.
Nick: You and I were busy this week, too, but we still made time to study. If
someone else didn’t, that doesn’t justify（证明……是正当的）cheating.
Angela: It seems to me that this is really none of our business. After all, his cheating doesn’t affect（影响）
our grades on the test.
Nick: Maybe not directly, but it will affect the class ranks（排名）. It’s not fair to hard-working students if
someone else gets a high rank by cheating.
Angela: True. But I really feel that we shouldn’t take matters into our own hands. What if he wasn’t
cheating.
Nick: Well, I’m just going to report what I saw to someone in authority（权威）. The teacher can take care of
it.
Angela: But this is Mr. Brown. Everyone knows what a strict teacher he is. He might call the student’s
parents or even have him suspended （休学）！
Nick: Mr. Brown can’t suspend the student yet. He’d need more evidence than just my words. He’ll
probably just give him warning and keep an eye on him.
Angela: And what if our classmates find out you told on him？Everyone in the class will call you a
tattletale.
Nick: I don’t care. I’m doing the right thing. But I’ll ask Mr. Brown not to mention my name.
Angela: I still don’t see why this is such a big deal to you. It’s pretty naive to think only one person cheated
on the test. The fact is that lots of students cheat.
Nick: But that doesn’t make it right. And I didn’t see them all. I just saw one, and I feel I should take some
action. Furthermore, I don’t think school is just about getting good grades. It’s about learning things
that we’ll use later in life. And more importantly, doing it in an honest way.
Angela: Maybe. But if I were you, I still wouldn’t tell. I really need to get going. See you tomorrow.
Nick: Bye, Angela.

三、阅读B篇
专题知识梳理
一、完型填空最常用的四种解题法　
1. 总体把握:要通读完形填空的短文，跳过空格快速阅读，了解全篇的主要内容。切不可把宝贵的时间浪费在个别字句推敲上。
2. 弄清体裁:文章体裁通常分为四种：论述文、记叙文、说明文和应用文。中考选文以叙事性文章为主，如：幽默故事、科普知识、童话、简短新闻、名人轶事、社会热点问题等。读这类文章，要大体上了解故事所涉及的时间、地点、人物、事件及前因后果。
3. 重视主题句:完形填空所用的短文一般不给标题，但短文的主题句，往往在每段文章的首句，有时也出现在文章的中间或结束处。主题句提供全篇的性质、大意等，这是深入了解全文的“窗口”，甚至能以语句为立足点，从该句的时态、语气推测全文的主要内容。
4. 语境联想:利用上下文的提示，用学过的知识和已有的生活经验，扫清部分词汇理解上的障碍。
二、解题思路
1. 通读全文，掌握大意。结合选项初步弄清短文写了些什么内容。
2. 瞻前顾后，分析先行。在理解全文意思的基础上，结合文章内容对空缺句子作合乎逻辑的推理。必须弄清空缺词句的确切含义，空缺词句与其前后句的意义衔接必须自然、合理，不可出现意义断层或说东道西的情况，必须从空缺句的内部结构入手，从语法、词语固定搭配、词形变化等角度考虑，务必使所填的单词准确无误。
3. 反复推敲，攻克难关。如果做不出来的话，可能要改变一下思路。如实词多与文章的内容直接相关，虚词多与文章的连贯性或句子结构直接相关，如果从内容上实在看不出要填哪个单词的话，应考虑是否需要填介词、连词等。
4. 验证答案，修正错误，着重注意这几点：(1)文章是否顺畅；(2)所填单词是否是最佳单词；(3)所填单词是否有拼写错误。
三、解题步骤
1.做题前先花30-45秒预览文章，大致了解文章的体裁(记叙、议论或者……)、文章内容、几个段落、是否有小标题和项目符号(这个往往是该段的主题句)。
2.做题时，首句和小标题重点读，充分体会文章论证结构，灵活使用技巧(例子与例子的关系，例子与中心句的关系，平行关系等)，注意逻辑对应，指代清晰。
3.完成题后，重读文章1-2遍，确保单词在该句语法、语义、语境都合适。
Ⅱ. 专题精讲
一、解题技巧
1.首句必重点读
首句很多情况是Topic sentence (主题句)，告诉你文章的背景和主旨。首句一般不设空，如果首句设空，请重点读后面的例子，例子里面会提供线索。现在很多考题都是用后面的例子印证首句。
【案例分析】
These days, it is ______ for children as young as Sammy to be so good at computers. Many Children use computers at home or at school and some schools even have their own websites.
A. hard B. unusual C. common D. dangerous
【解析】
如果学生分析这四个词用法，那就和这道考题背道而驰了，首句设空，我们重点读后面的那句话“很多孩子在家里，学校使用电脑，甚至一些学校有他们自己的网站”，说明对电脑的使用是持肯定意见的，选项C为正确答案，A、B 、D 都为否定意见，故不选。
2.句子之间关系
　　例子联合起来都是去证明本文中心的，但例子与例子有时候会有正反对比或者是平行关系。
【案例分析】
In most menageries, animals were kept in small dirty cages. However, in modern zoos, animals are kept in habitats(栖息地) that look like 81 areas.
81. A) native B) narrow C) natural D) national
3.最佳适用原则
举个例子，如果这样出题。这位男士很______，每次和女生一起出去逛街的时候都会为女生拉开商场大门，直到身边所有的女生都通过。假设选项如下A good B nice C gentle D handsome 你会如何选 很多学生会选good, 觉得good是万能词，但这里错了，完形填空一定要基于语境，选择一个最适合，最具体，不是最宽泛的词语。因而C gentle 很绅士是最佳答案。
【案例分析】
People who 85 animal rights don’t like the display of animals in zoos. But other people feel that zoos care for and protect the animals. They feel that this is why many exotic species are still alive today.
　　85. A) play a trick on B) get tired of C) pay attention to D) go on with
4.场景匹配原则
【案例分析】
Sammy Liu, a six-year-old boy from Kowloon, has become a hero recently. One day he used the family’s ________ to stop a robbery.
radio B. computer C. recorder D. telephone
【解析】
后文都在说关于电脑使用，这里选择A C D显然不合适，文章里根本就没有提到收音机，录音机和电话，虽然电话也能用来报警，但是一定要基于原文的场景。
5. 平行并列原则
　　完形填空文章很多时候是围绕一个话题展开，每个段落有的时候发展模式都是差不多的，前面提到如果首句设空，除了关注到后面的例子，还不妨可以关注下一段首句或者再下下段首句。类似的如果某段末句设空不妨也可以关注一下下面一段的末句。若有一篇文章是讨论积极态度给生活、工作、健康带来的好处，其中第二段末句这样：with an active _______, you can overcome all the difficulties. 需要我们填空。在第三段末句出现了with an active attitude , you can be healthy. 如果学生在阅读的时候关注到这句，使用了“平行原则”，自然就能填出attitude .
Ⅲ. 学法提炼
1. 词义推断和逻辑推理题可以通过一些已知事实去做；
2. 理解文章主旨大意题时候，首尾段和首尾句很重要。
3. 解题时候对文章整体的把握很重要；
4. 注意上下文一些语境；
B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文）（12分）

As most people in Turkey didn’t have running water in their homes, the Hamam was the perfect place to get clean, relax, and catch up with friends.

A woman was at the airport waiting for her flight to start boarding. She still had a lot of time, so she went to a shop and bought a book to read. While she was in the shop, she decided to buy a bag of cookies as well.
She arrived at her gate, sat down and started reading her book. She read her book so attentively that she didn’t notice what was going on around her. But she did see that a man had sat down next to her and taken one of her cookies out of the bag.
She pretended not to notice, as she didn’t want to make a scene (当众大吵). But then the man took more. He kept eating the cookies until there was just one left. The man took the last cookie and broke it in half. He tapped the woman on the shoulder and held out one half to her.
The woman could not believe how much nerve this man had to steal all of her cookies and then offer half a cookie in return. She angrily grabbed the half-cookie out of his hand and ate it without any words.
Finally, it was time for her to board. As she went to the gate, she reached into her purse. Suddenly, she realized that her bag of cookies was still in her purse. The man had eaten his own cookies the whole time and simply wanted to share the last one with her. The woman’s face turned red with shame. Therefore, she quickly caught up with him and said, “ ______94_____”.

Electives (选修课) are always popular with students because they offer the chance to learn something exciting, and they’re a welcome break from regular courses like maths and physics. Here are just a few of the exciting electives lucky teenagers can take in some of China’s middle schools.
Self-defense skills
A school from Chongqing
The school offers a self-defense course——just for girls. Those who attend the lessons have the chance to study basic self-protection skills in a one-on-one practice. They learn how to get away when they need to and defend themselves against attacks. “I feel safer in myself now,” said Zhang Yi, 15, a girl student.
Pottery
A school from Tianjin
The famous pottery scene in a movie called Ghost is a lasting memory for many movie-goers. Young artists at the school love to get their hands dirty creating beautiful pieces. Students learn how to design and make various clay projects. At the end, they have the skills to make their own clay bowls, cups, vases and pots.
Horse riding
A school from Beijing
Equestrians (马术) can look pretty cool, can’t they Teenagers at this school can now choose a course in riding skills. They’re taught to communicate with their horses and how to use reins. To ride a horse in the proper way, a student must hold the head forward and keep his back straight. Students come away from this elective not only knowing how to ride a horse gracefully, but also physically fitter!
Couplets
A school from Nanjing
How many of you can write a couplet This old literary (文学的) form is slowly disappearing, but Chinese culture lovers at the school are trying to make it alive.

Forgive and forget. Most of us find the forgetting easier, but maybe we should work on the forgiving part. "Holding on to hurts wears you down physically and emotionally,” says Stanford University psychologist Fred Luskin, author of Forgive for Good. “Forgiving someone can be a powerful remedy.”
In a recent study, Charlotte van Oyen Witvliet, assistant professor of psychology at Hope College in Holland, Michigan, and colleagues asked 71 volunteers to remember a past hurt. Tests recorded sudden increases in blood pressure, heart rate and muscle tension--the same responses that occur when people are beside themselves. Research has linked temper and heart diseases. When the volunteers were asked to imagine forgiving those who'd wronged them, they remained calm by comparison.
What's more, forgiveness can be learned, insists Luskin, director of the Stanford Forgiveness Project. " We teach people to rewrite their story in their minds, to change from victim to hero. If the hurt is from a husband's or a wife's unfaithfulness, we might encourage them to think of themselves not only as a person who was cheated on, but as the person who tried to keep the marriage together. " Two years ago. Luskin tested his method on five Northern Irish women whose sons had been murdered. After undergoing a week of forgiveness training, the women's sense of hurt, measured using psychological tests, had fallen by more than half. They were also much less likely to feel depressed and angry. "Forgiving isn't about regarding what happened as harmless or acceptable, "says Luskin. “It is about breaking free of the person who wronged us.”
The early signs that forgiving improves overall health are promising. A survey of 1, 423 adults by the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research in 2001 found that people who had forgiven someone in their past also reported being in better health than those who hadn't. However, while 75 per cent said they were sure God had forgiven them for past mistakes, only 52 percent had been able to find it in their hearts to forgive others. Forgiveness, it seems, is still divine.
In Luskin's opinion, people could enjoy better health if they __________.
A. hold past hurts back B. avoid the wrongdoers
C. become less emotional D. let off those who hurt them
According to Luskin, to forgive an unfaithful husband, a wife needs to __________.
A. urge herself to see the hurt as nothing B. take measures in restoring the marriage
C. persuade herself to put up with the hurt D. see herself as the guardian of the marriage
According to the text, to forgive means __________.
to keep silent when someone hurts you article
to stop being angry with those who wronged you
to think of something tolerable that has happened
to prevent yourself from doing wrong to your enemies
What does the last paragraph imply
A. Most mistakes are forgivable B. It's really no easy task to forgive
C. It's part of human nature to forgive. D. Few people can truly forgive others
The best title of the text might be __________.
A. The Research on Forgiveness B. The Difficulty in Forgiveness
C. The Promotion of Forgiveness D. The Healing Power of Forgiveness
B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage. （共12分）

An hour later, the sign in the supermarket said, "Steak-$3 75 a pound. " Ten minutes later the sign in Tom’s window said, "Steak-$3.5 a pound.”
Five minutes later the sign in the supermarket said, “Steak-$25 a pound.” Twenty seconds later the sign in Tom’s window said, "Steak--$1.00 a pound.”
The manager of the supermarket ran across the road into Toms’ shop. "This price cutting must be stopped, " he said, "Steak is costing me $4.00 a pound. I'm selling it at $2. 50 a pound. I'm losing money every minute!”
“I'll stop cutting all my prices,” Tom said, "If you stop cutting all yours." The supermarket manager agreed, and the two men shook hands. Tom smiled. He had not lost any money on the steak. He did not sell steak
