1．（2025 盐都区二模） The freezing rain beat against my back as I pulled the heavy cab through the icy streets.My hooves （蹄） slipped on the frozen stones，but the driver John kept pulling the rope. "Move faster，you lazy animal!" he shouted.I could see my breath turning white in the air，my sides moving up and down rapidly.
When the wheel stuck in a rut，the whip （鞭子） cracked near my ear. "Lift your feet!" John screamed.I pushed as hard as I could，my wet fur felt heavy on my neck.As the carriage finally moved，I heard a scary noise from the wooden parts of the carriage.
"Sir，this horse is struggling，" a lady passenger called out，looking carefully through the cab window. "His legs are shaking!"
"Don't worry，madam.He's strong as an ox，" John lied，snapping the whip again：My right horseshoe had been loose for days，sending sharp pain through my leg with every step.
At the blacksmith's shop，I tried to slow down.Old Mr.Clay ran out with his lantern. "Stop!That horse is losing a shoe!" he cried.But John just laughed. "No time for your nonsense!"
Rainwater mixed with the salt from my eyes. I remembered kind Mr.Gordon，my first owner，who would check my hooves daily and feed me sugar cubes.Since being sold to this cab company，no one had touched my sweaty neck gently or spoken gentle words to me.
Back in the stable at midnight，my swollen leg kept shaking as I chewed （咀嚼） rotten hay.Ginger，the old female horse next door，nosed through the wooden boards. "Stay strong，" she whispered. "Humans think we're machines that never break."
Moonlight through the broken roof showed the frozen water trough in the corner.I lowered my aching head，wondering if spring would ever come.

The old man had been alone at sea for eighty﹣four days without catching a fish.But on the eighty﹣fifth day，he felt a sudden strong pull on his line.He held his hands harder，and he knew this was not a common fish.
"He must be huge，" the old man whispered.The line began to cut into his hands，but he refused to let it go.Hours passed.The sun burned him，and his back ached from turning.Still，he held on.
As night fell，the fish leaped out of the water.The old man's heart raced. "I must not lose him，" he thought.He tied the line to the boat and sat against it，trying to save his strength.
In the early morning，the old man's hands were hurt，and his legs shook.Yet，he kept talking to himself， "A man can be destroyed（毁灭） but not beaten." He remembered teaching the boy，Manolin，how to fight. "Patience，" he had said. "The sea rewards those who respect it."
Suddenly，the fish surfaced again.This time，it was closer.The old man raised his harpoon（鱼叉） shaking arms.
Tired but proud，the old man tied the fish to his boat.However，sharks soon smelled the blood.They attacked，trying to eat his prize.The old man fought and shouted， "I will fight to the end!"

"I want you with me!"Silver shouted."When we have the treasure，there's gold for you too!""Never!"cried Tom."I'm not a murderer.You're guilty，all of you!"Sadly，these﹣were the last words of Tom.It was a gunshot，Silver's gun.

D.My parents wanted me to have surgeries at school.
13．（2025 江北区校级一模） One morning，a young woman came to see us.She looked tired and unhappy，and her face was very white.
"I'm afraid!Afraid of death，Mr.Holmes!Please help me!" she cried.
"Just sit down and tell us your story，"said Holmes kindly.
"My name is Helen Stoner，"she began，"and I live with my stepfather （继父），Dr.Grimesby Roylott，near a village in the country.His family was once very rich，but they had no money when my stepfather was born.So he studied to be a doctor，and went out to India.He met and married my mother there，when my sister Julia and I were just babies.Our father was dead，you see."
"Your mother was rich，perhaps？" asked Sherlock Holmes.
"Oh yes，so my stepfather wasn't poor any more."
"Tell me more about him，" said Holmes.
"Well，he's a violent man.In India，he once got angry with his Indian servant （仆人） and killed him!He had to go to prison （监狱） because of that，and then we all came back to England when Julia and I needed better school education.Mother died in an accident eight years ago.So my stepfather got all her money，but if Julia or I marry，he must pay us 250 every year."
"And now you live with him in the country，" said Holmes.
"Yes，but he stays at home and never sees anybody，" answered Helen Stoner. "Sometimes he has fights with the people from the village，so everybody runs away when seeing him.And they're also afraid of his Indian wild animals which run freely around the garden.Poor Julia and I had very unhappy lives.Our servants all left because they were afraid of my stepfather，and we had to do all the work in the house.Julia was only thirty when she died."
"When did she die？" asked Sherlock Holmes.
"She died two years ago，and that's why I'm here.Julia met a young man in London and decided to marry him.My stepfather agreed，but soon after this she died." Miss Stoner put her hand over her eyes and cried for a minute.

1．（2025 盐都区二模） The freezing rain beat against my back as I pulled the heavy cab through the icy streets.My hooves （蹄） slipped on the frozen stones，but the driver John kept pulling the rope. "Move faster，you lazy animal!" he shouted.I could see my breath turning white in the air，my sides moving up and down rapidly.
When the wheel stuck in a rut，the whip （鞭子） cracked near my ear. "Lift your feet!" John screamed.I pushed as hard as I could，my wet fur felt heavy on my neck.As the carriage finally moved，I heard a scary noise from the wooden parts of the carriage.
"Sir，this horse is struggling，" a lady passenger called out，looking carefully through the cab window. "His legs are shaking!"
"Don't worry，madam.He's strong as an ox，" John lied，snapping the whip again：My right horseshoe had been loose for days，sending sharp pain through my leg with every step.
At the blacksmith's shop，I tried to slow down.Old Mr.Clay ran out with his lantern. "Stop!That horse is losing a shoe!" he cried.But John just laughed. "No time for your nonsense!"
Rainwater mixed with the salt from my eyes. I remembered kind Mr.Gordon，my first owner，who would check my hooves daily and feed me sugar cubes.Since being sold to this cab company，no one had touched my sweaty neck gently or spoken gentle words to me.
Back in the stable at midnight，my swollen leg kept shaking as I chewed （咀嚼） rotten hay.Ginger，the old female horse next door，nosed through the wooden boards. "Stay strong，" she whispered. "Humans think we're machines that never break."
Moonlight through the broken roof showed the frozen water trough in the corner.I lowered my aching head，wondering if spring would ever come.

【答案】（1）C
（2）B
（3）B
（4）D
【分析】本文节选自《爱丽丝漫游仙境》。主要讲述了爱丽丝在蓝色毛毛虫那里吃了能让自己变大的蘑菇，使自己变成了九英寸大。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段中爱丽丝的回答"I would be happier if I could be a bit larger"（如果我能再高一点，我会更开心）可知她希望自己能更高一些。故选C。
（2）词义猜测题。根据第五段中"In another minute，the Caterpillar was out of sight."（过了一会儿，毛毛虫不见了）结合上下文语境"out of sight"指超出视野范围B选项"[U] the farthest place you can see."（你能看到的最远距离）符合此义。故选B。
（3）细节理解题。根据第七段中"She tasted a small piece from the right hand to see how it worked.The next thing she knew，she was getting smaller!"（她尝了右手拿的一小块蘑菇随后发现自己开始变小）可知，蘑菇的右边能让她变小，即序号②处是右边。故选B。
（4）细节理解题。⑤对应第五段毛毛虫说"One side will make you grow taller and the other will make you grow shorter."（一边会让你变高另一边会让你变矮）；②对应第五段"Then he got down from the mushroom and started to move away."（然后他从蘑菇上下来开始离开）；③对应第六、七段爱丽丝因蘑菇是圆形而"tried to decide which side was which"（试图判断哪一边是哪一边）；④对应第七段"She tasted a small piece from the right hand..."（她尝了右手的一小块……）；①对应第七段"she started to taste the other from her left hand at once"（她立刻开始尝左手的另一块）因此正确顺序为⑤②③④①。故选D。
