“But it’s for Grandma! She said she needed a football for the New Year’s Eve dinner.” I said.
“A football for the dinner ” Mum laughed. “No, Grandma needs a fruit bowl, not a football.”
“Fruit bowl sounds like football! I have done a silly thing!” I went back to my room, embarrassed and disappointed.

根据原文“It happened when he was seven”可知，当这个故事发生时麦克7岁。故填He was seven/7.
【75题详解】
根据原文“I gave him my favourite model car in exchange for his football”可知，麦克用自己最喜欢的模型飞机从乔手中换到了一个旧足球。故填His favourite model car.
【76题详解】
根据原文“I waited in my room for Grandma to notice it”可知，麦克希望奶奶能注意到这个旧足球。故填His Grandma.

【78题详解】
根据原文“Grandma was showing them a pretty fruit bowl with the old football in its centre … It’s beautiful, yes — because anything from a child is beautiful”可知，奶奶将旧足球放到了水果盘中间并赞美了它。故填She put the football in the centre of a fruit bowl and praised it.

“阅读理解”的一种形式，考查学生信息查找能力、语篇理解能力和归纳概括能力。题目难度介于阅读理解和写作之间,要求学生在看懂文章的基础上给出的问题答案。要求学生要有很好的阅读理解和归纳总结的能力，并且能够根据所给题目准确找出解题依据，给出答案，注意细节。文体主要还是以记叙文为主，其他文体为辅。其中，问题类型的设置也是比较固定的。
四种疑问句组成具体形式如下：
◆一般疑问句例如：Did Helen help Sahra to learn English
◆特殊疑问句（what, how, when, where, why提问）
Where was the missing college student found
Why do some experts worry most about young people
How can Internet addicts solve their problem
What might be the title of this passage (In no more than TEN words)
◆反意疑问句：前否后肯，前肯后否，看作一般疑问句，根据实际情况回答。（近5年中考卷没有出现过反义疑问句回答，但是一模、二模卷中近2年还是比较常见的）
◆选择疑问句（避免Yes/No,选择性回答，也可以全部肯定或者否定）例如：
Does Mary read space news or business news
◆最后一题开放型提问，要注意避免使用good, bad, great过于笼统的词汇。要根据文字进行一些更加详细的回答信息。
解题技巧：
1.读懂问题--通读全文--信息定位--准确表达--避免答非所问；
2. 注意以材料为本。无论是单词、词组、句子，还是人、物、时间、地点、原因等，都要根据文章类型准确填写；
3. 注意文章中的人称和时态，做到问答一致。考试时最常见的错误就是时态语态用错；
4. 灵活运用同义词语的替换和各种句型的不同表达；
5. 对于开放性问题的回答，应根据文章提供的素材，根据全文大意、中心思想和作者的情感、立场展开合理的想象；
6. 在对待生词的处理上，要一分为二地看待。有些不影响理解的生词（如地名，人名）可直接忽视掉。有些生词前后会出现破折号、冒号或者出现that is to say 或者that means等词时，其实就是解释说明的作用。可以注意推测出词意；
7. 态度要端正，目前每年的篇幅都是呈上升的趋势，所以学生要有心理准备，务必要把握好做阅读题的节奏。针对不同的提问形式，需要注意下列问题：
what提问 使用名词、to do、doing、句子等回答
why提问 使用Because, for, since, as, in order to等形式回答
when提问 使用介词+时间，如：In 1948./On September 19, 2004
where提问 使用介词+地点，如In the park
how提问 使用形容词、副词、by doing、with……等方式状语
How long提问 使用For+时间段, since+时间点或者句子，如：For two years 注：如果动词是take、spend时，时间段是动词的宾语，这时不需要介词。
How far提问 使用Five minutes’ walk；It’s about 20 kilometers等等
反意疑问句 按事实回答，其中陈述部分为否定的反意疑问句回答是易错点
选择疑问句 注意不要yes和no来回答，直接进行选择，也可以全部否定或者肯定
一般疑问句 注意应将简单回答书写完整（分步给分）

（2024·上海松江·二模）根据短文内容回答下列问题。
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 picture on the front of the machine showed the different toys you might find in an egg — plastic “diamond rings”, plastic “mirrors,” and plastic “superheroes”. Naturally, I wanted a superhero. But no matter how many times I got a diamond ring or mirror that girls prefer, I would still try again to get the superhero.
You might think that I was just paying for the superhero. I was, however, also paying for the excitement of getting to see what was inside the egg. Who hasn’t experienced this excitement at one time or another It’s the excitement you feel when you turn over an old log to see what kinds of bugs are under it. It’s the excitement you feel when you explore a room full of old things.
Have you ever held up a gift in a box to guess what’s inside of it Some people will shake the box and measure it with hands, all to enjoy the fullest fun of the mystery.
But this desire to uncover mysteries can also make some games and websites dangerous. Many people spend too much time on their smartphones or on websites. One reason is that apps and websites are designed to keep us wondering what we will see when we scoll (滚动) a little further or press the button one more time.
Companies are trying to attract and keep our interest so that we can’t help coming back for more “mysteries”. Over time, we will become less likely to be excited by the real mysteries in our everyday lives. It is important to work out when our curiosity (好奇心) is healthy and when it may be hurting us.

Reporter: What is the most unforgettable experience you have met while working for the SPCA
Ms Ann Lek: Looking after pets and being able to bring them to work! I really appreciate (感激) the fact that I can bring my pets with me into the office when I want to. They’re my joy and give me the energy at work. Being able to bring my dogs or cats to work and having my workmates worry about them and shower them totally makes my day.
Reporter: Which misunderstanding of pets would you like to change most
Ms Ann Lek: I really hate it when people are unhappy when I talk about pets, or when taxi drivers refuse to take me because I’m travelling with my dog. Whenever I speak to them and ask why, they always give the same terrible reason: “They’re dirty.” They work and travel closely with human beings every day and share all kinds of public things, but why should we get worried about contracting (感染) a kind of illness from the friendly neighbourhood pets So I think education is the key!
31．Is Ms Ann Lek an Education Officer in the SPCA
32．How does Ann help people learn more about animals
33．How often does Ann pay visits at the shelter
34．What does the underlined “more” mean

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.

What challenges do you think learners face today
I think the biggest challenge today is the unknown. Technology and many other things are changing fast. We have no way of knowing what will happen in 10, 20 or 50 years from now, so how can you prepare yourself or others Well, you can’t be prepared for everything.

（23-24九年级下·上海闵行·阶段练习）We can easily and cheaply get all the wisdom of the ages and all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books. The most unlucky people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.
Reading is the pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author’s or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.
Every book stands by itself, like a one—family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something. They are connected with each other and with other cities. Books influence each other; they link the past, the present and the future and have their own generations, like families. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families or ideas, and in the long run, you not only find out about the world and the people in it but also you find out about yourself, too.
Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you read books somebody tells you “you ought” to read, you probably won’t have fun. But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax yourself with it, you will almost certainly have a good time and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won’t have suffered during the process.
49．Who are the most unfortunate people according to the passage
50．What makes a person a good reader
51．When do your ideas develop in reading
52．What is the result of reading
53．How can you make your reading fun
54．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this article
【答案】49．The most unfortunate people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books. 50．Your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. 51．As your experience, compared with the writer’s, brings you to the same or different conclusions. 52．Becoming better, wiser, kinder, or gentler. 53．By finding a book that means something to you. 54．To encourage us to read books.

BOOK OF THE WEEK
Heidi
By Johanna Spyri
The novel explores themes (主题) of nature,friendship and kindness. Heidi is a little Swiss girl, whose honesty influences those around her. She goes to live with her grandfather in the Alps. She quickly learns to love her new life with him. But then Heidi must be sent away again to Frankfurt, to be the friend of Clara, a girl who is sick and cannot walk...
Chapter Five
Her first day in Frankfurt was a strange day for Heidi, but even stranger for Ms. Rottenmeier,the housekeeper.
At first Heidi couldn’t think where she was. When she woke up, jumped from the big white bed and ran to the window, she saw neither the snow on high mountains nor the little stream winding below. All she saw was brick walls and houses. There was no sound of the wind in the trees-only the sound of carriages (马车) rattling over the stone streets outside.
Heidi felt as though she had been locked up in a cage. But Ms. Rottenmeier felt that she was locked up with a strange, wild child. The child knew nothing of how to behave in a well—run house. She was late to meals. Her clothes were not correct. She made friends with the servants.
But Clara had become much more cheerful since Heidi’s arrival. She liked talking to Heidi about life in the mountains and about Heidi’s grandfather. For Clara the next few days were much less dull than usual.
Heidi was less happy. Tomorrow, she kept thinking, I really must go home. But one thing pleased her. Every day she took more rolls from the table and hid them in her room. She was saving them for Granny.Granny’s teeth were no longer able to chew the hard, black bread which was all she had, and Heidi planned to take back to her the lovely soft rolls as a present.
At last, one day, she started for home. But at the door she met Ms. Rottenmeier.“Where are you going I have strictly forbidden (禁止) you to go outside by yourself!” Ms.Rottenmeier said.
“I’m only going home,” said Heidi. “I’ve been away too long. My goats must be missing me and...”
“My goodness!” exclaimed Ms. Rottenmeier. “The child is mad!” And then she ordered the servant to lock Heidi up her room.
61．Where was Clara’s home, in the countryside or in the city
62．Why did Ms. Rottenmeier think Heidi was a wild child
63．What did Heidi do to make Clara more cheerful
64．What pleased Heidi
65．How did Ms. Rottenmeier feel when she met Heidi at the door

65．根据“But at the door she met Ms. Rottenmeier. ‘Where are you going I have strictly forbidden (禁止) you to go outside by yourself!’Ms.Rottenmeier said…‘My goodness!’ exclaimed Ms. Rottenmeier. ‘The child is mad!’ And then she ordered the servant to lock Heidi up her room.”可推测出，Rottenmeier女士在门口遇到Heidi时感到生气和惊讶。故填angry；surprised.

（2024·上海静安·二模）Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题).
An Unusual Garden
The old 1986 truck was a gift from his grandfather. It worked, but it used a lot of gas. Ian Cheney looked at his grandfather’s truck and thought of a farm. As in other large cities, there is not much space to grow food in New York. Yet Cheney wanted a vegetable garden. Many farmers in New York have found creative ways to grow vegetables, such as rooftop gardens, community gardens in old parking lots, and even a floating garden in the Hudson River. Cheney, however, didn’t have access to any of these spaces. So the old truck was a practical solution. The back of the truck provided him with the space he needed.
So Cheney set to work. First, he drilled holes in the truck bed—allowing water to pass through. Then he laid down a recycled plastic mat. The soil came next—a special lightweight variety. He made sure that everything was organic. Cheney preferred organic because he wanted to grow vegetables without chemicals. Then he planted lettuce, herbs, spinach, and tomatoes. Finally, he watered and waited.
When the food was ready to pick, Cheney drove the truck from one urban neighborhood to another. He gave away some of the vegetables. He sold the rest to friends and neighbors. Everywhere he parked, passersby stopped and talked about the beautiful vegetable garden in the back of the truck.
Cheney strongly believes that people are better off eating more local food—that is, food grown close to where they live. Local food has both environmental and health advantages. It reduces “food miles”. The term food miles refers to the distance between where you produce food and where you sell it. A lot of the food in large supermarkets travels hundreds of miles to get to your dinner table. This has an economic and environmental cost. Then there is the question of nutrition—food that helps you grow and be healthy. The nutritional benefits of vegetables decrease over time. So eating food within a few days of harvesting is healthier for you.
Cheney knows that his truck farm cannot solve the problem of the lack of fresh food in some neighborhoods. Yet, like rooftop gardens, it could be part of the solution. As Cheney says, “If we can grow food in the back of an 1986 Dodge pickup, we can definitely find better ways to grow more fresh produce.”
67．The old 1986 truck from Ian Cheney’s grandfather is working properly, isn’t it
68．Where does Cheney plant his vegetables
69．Why did Cheney drill holes in the truck bed
70．How did Cheney deal with the vegetables he grew
71．What are the two reasons Cheney suggests people eat more local food
72．What do you think of farmers in New York in the passage Give your reasons.
【答案】67．No, it isn’t. 68．The back of the truck. 69．To allow water to pass through. 70．He gave away some of the vegetables and sold the rest to friends and neighbors. 71．Cheney suggests people eat more local food because it reduces environmental impact and is much healthier to people. 72．These farmers in New York deserve high praise. These innovative approaches not only enrich the city’s green spaces but also provide fresh and healthy vegetables for urban residents, which has a positive impact on both the sustainable development of the city and the quality of life for its residents.
【分析】本文讲述了Ian Cheney用祖父赠送的旧卡车在纽约创建移动菜园的故事，通过种植有机蔬菜并分享给社区，倡导多吃当地食物以减少“食物里程”和保持蔬菜营养价值，尽管无法完全解决食物短缺问题，但为城市农业提供了新的可能性。
67．根据“It worked, but it used a lot of gas.”可知，卡车还能用，但耗油太高了，所以不算能正常工作，应作否定回答；本句是反意疑问句，其回答要与实际情况一致。故填No, it isn’t.
68．根据“The back of the truck provided him with the space he needed.”可知，Cheney把蔬菜种在卡车的后部。故填The back of the truck.
69．根据“he drilled holes in the truck bed—allowing water to pass through.”可知，他在卡车底板上钻孔，让水通过。故填To allow water to pass through.
70．根据“He gave away some of the vegetables. He sold the rest to friends and neighbors.”可知，他把一些蔬菜送人了。他把剩下的卖给了朋友和邻居。故填He gave away some of the vegetables and sold the rest to friends and neighbors.
71．根据“Local food has both environmental and health advantages. It reduces ‘food miles’...A lot of the food in large supermarkets travels hundreds of miles to get to your dinner table. This has an economic and environmental cost.”和“So eating food within a few days of harvesting is healthier for you.”可知，当地食物对环境和健康都有好处。它能减少“食物里程”，大型超市里的许多食物要经过数百英里的路程才能到达你的餐桌，这有经济和环境成本，即减少了对环境的影响；当地食物还能让你在收获的几天内吃食物，这对你更健康。故填Cheney suggests people eat more local food because it reduces environmental impact and is much healthier to people.
72．根据“Many farmers in New York have found creative ways to grow vegetables, such as rooftop gardens, community gardens in old parking lots, and even a floating garden in the Hudson River.”可知，纽约的这些农民在屋顶，旧停车场，甚至在哈德逊河上种菜，他们的做法值得高度赞扬，因为这不仅丰富了城市的绿色空间，也为城市居民提供了新鲜、健康的蔬菜，对城市的可持续发展和居民的生活品质都产生了积极的影响。参考答案为These farmers in New York deserve high praise. These innovative approaches not only enrich the city’s green spaces but also provide fresh and healthy vegetables for urban residents, which has a positive impact on both the sustainable development of the city and the quality of life for its residents.专题08 阅读回答问题满分技巧方法

（Mike is telling a story. It happened when he was seven.）
It was New Year’s Eve. In the morning, I heard Grandma tell Mum she needed a football for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
“A football for the dinner What’s it for ” I wondered. “Anyway, I will get one! I can do something nice for Grandma.”
I remembered my friend Joe had an old football. I went out quietly and found him. I gave him my favourite model car in exchange for his football.
I took the football home, shined it and put it on the living room table secretly. I waited in my room for Grandma to notice it.
“Mike!” Mum shouted. I ran to the living room. “Why can’t you put your things where they belong Get the football out of here!”
“But it’s for Grandma! She said she needed a football for the New Year’s Eve dinner.” I said.
“A football for the dinner ” Mum laughed. “No, Grandma needs a fruit bowl, not a football.”
“Fruit bowl sounds like football! I have done a silly thing!” I went back to my room, embarrassed and disappointed.
Before dinner, Mum came in and asked me to meet my uncles and aunts. When I walked into the living room, Grandma was showing them a pretty fruit bowl with the old football in its centre, I was surprised.
“Look!” Grandma said. “Today Mike brought me a nice present, this football. Isn’t it beautiful ” She continued. “It’s beautiful, yes — because anything from a child is beautiful.”

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.”

“LUCKY BOX” vending machines used to be common in the United States. These machines sold plastic eggs that contained mystery toys. When I was a kid, I could not stop putting coins into them. A picture on the front of the machine showed the different toys you might find in an egg — plastic “diamond rings”, plastic “mirrors,” and plastic “superheroes”. Naturally, I wanted a superhero. But no matter how many times I got a diamond ring or mirror that girls prefer, I would still try again to get the superhero.
You might think that I was just paying for the superhero. I was, however, also paying for the excitement of getting to see what was inside the egg. Who hasn’t experienced this excitement at one time or another It’s the excitement you feel when you turn over an old log to see what kinds of bugs are under it. It’s the excitement you feel when you explore a room full of old things.
Have you ever held up a gift in a box to guess what’s inside of it Some people will shake the box and measure it with hands, all to enjoy the fullest fun of the mystery.
But this desire to uncover mysteries can also make some games and websites dangerous. Many people spend too much time on their smartphones or on websites. One reason is that apps and websites are designed to keep us wondering what we will see when we scoll (滚动) a little further or press the button one more time.
Companies are trying to attract and keep our interest so that we can’t help coming back for more “mysteries”. Over time, we will become less likely to be excited by the real mysteries in our everyday lives. It is important to work out when our curiosity (好奇心) is healthy and when it may be hurting us.
13．Is the writer possibly a male or a female
14．What could the writer find in a plastic egg in his childhood
15．What did the writer pay for
16．How can we enjoy the fullest fun of the mystery
17．What may happen to us if we can’t help coming back for more “mysteries”

（23-24九年级下·上海嘉定·阶段练习）It was over two months before Christmas when 9-year-old Mary told her father that she wanted a new bike. Her old Barbi bike was too old and it often needed repairing. As Christmas came nearer, her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, for she didn’t mention it again.
Then much to our surprise, on December 24th, she said that she really wanted a bike as the Christmas present more than anything else. We didn’t know what to do. It was too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing presents for our children, parents and also friends till midnight. So there was no time to buy the “right bike” for our little girl. Thinking that we might in this way make our child unhappy on Christmas, we felt guilty and sad.
Suddenly my husband came up with an idea. “What if I make a little bike out of the clay and write a note that she could trade in (交换) the model bike for a real one after Christmas ” So he spent the next five hours working on a small clay bike. On Christmas morning, we were very excited and waited for Mary to open the little box with the beautiful red and white bike and the note. She opened the box and read the note loudly. She looked at me and said, “So, does this mean I can trade in this beautiful bike that Daddy made for me. I prefer to keep it rather than get a real one.” At that moment we thought we would have moved the God to buy her every bike on earth.

Henry was always interested in books and ideas. He seldom cared about other people. They only made fun of him. They were also green-eyed because he was so smart, or so he thought. It seemed that Henry knew everything—except one thing. He didn’t know how to get along with other people.

“Henry, tell me about your friends. What do you do for fun ” the professor wanted to know.
There was silence as Henry realized that he didn’t really have any friends. “Well, I don’t have time for all that. I’m too busy with my studies,” he said.

Education Is the Key
Reporter: Hello, everyone. Besides helping animals in pain, the SPCA also runs a very active education program in schools. Meet Ms Ann Lek, our Education Officer. Her job is to help more people understand animals so that they will be treated (对待) better.
Reporter: What is your job duty in the SPCA, Ann
Ms Ann Lek: I give talks at schools and in many other places to help people learn more about animals. I pay visits at our shelter once a week to teach people what they should consider before getting a pet. Besides weekly talks and visits, I also help educate the public about responsible pet ownership.
Reporter: When did you decide to become an Education Officer
Ms Ann Lek: I always love animals and want to make this world a better place for them. I started as a volunteer with the organization, when I was still attending university. It is so enjoyable to work with those who feel the same as I do. After volunteering for four years, I wanted to do more. I decided to join them full-time when they needed an Education Officer.
Reporter: What is the most unforgettable experience you have met while working for the SPCA
Ms Ann Lek: Looking after pets and being able to bring them to work! I really appreciate (感激) the fact that I can bring my pets with me into the office when I want to. They’re my joy and give me the energy at work. Being able to bring my dogs or cats to work and having my workmates worry about them and shower them totally makes my day.
Reporter: Which misunderstanding of pets would you like to change most
Ms Ann Lek: I really hate it when people are unhappy when I talk about pets, or when taxi drivers refuse to take me because I’m travelling with my dog. Whenever I speak to them and ask why, they always give the same terrible reason: “They’re dirty.” They work and travel closely with human beings every day and share all kinds of public things, but why should we get worried about contracting (感染) a kind of illness from the friendly neighbourhood pets So I think education is the key!

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.
Back home, Mum was watching the news.
“Hi, Grace. Have you heard about this boy, Mark ” she asked. “No, what boy ” I said. “A boy from Manchester. He’s run away from home. Look! This is his dad.”
There was a man on TV sitting next to a policeman. He was crying and looked as if he hadn’t slept for days. Then they showed a photo of the missing boy. I knew him. It was the boy in the forest. 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.

（2024·上海金山·二模）Clara Prado has worked as an English teacher for more than twenty years. In a recent interview, she told us her own experience of learning and teaching English.
How did you learn English yourself
I started learning English when I was about six or seven years old. A new language school opened near my home. I started attending classes twice a week. I enjoyed these classes. During my teenage years, I attended several international youth meetings. I also went to Australia as an exchange student. I learned a lot from communicating with native English speakers.
What’s the best part of teaching English for you
I have met many wonderful people throughout my career. Teachers are a fun group of people. They often get excited about a challenge. Many teachers are creative. They almost always find a way to make things work. I’ve learned a lot from them.
And then there are the students. There is nothing better in life than to see them realize their dreams and achieve something they have worked hard for.
What suggestions do you always give to your students
As a language learner, you have to be comfortable with making mistakes. The goal is not to be perfect. It’s to be able to communicate with others. Learning a language can be a lifelong process. No one can learn to speak a language well overnight. You will be speaking just a little more every day.
What challenges do you think learners face today
I think the biggest challenge today is the unknown. Technology and many other things are changing fast. We have no way of knowing what will happen in 10, 20 or 50 years from now, so how can you prepare yourself or others Well, you can’t be prepared for everything. But you can equip yourself with creativity and the ability to keep learning throughout your life and to work with others. Most importantly, you must stay strong and carry on.
43．What is the interview with Clara Prado about
44．Did Clara Prado start learning English at a young age
45．What does Clara Prado enjoy most about teaching the students English
46．What does Clara Prado suggest to language learners about making mistakes
47．According to Clara Prado, how can we solve the biggest challenge for learners today (In no more than 16 words)

（23-24九年级下·上海闵行·阶段练习）We can easily and cheaply get all the wisdom of the ages and all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books. The most unlucky people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.
Reading is the pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author’s or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.
Every book stands by itself, like a one—family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something. They are connected with each other and with other cities. Books influence each other; they link the past, the present and the future and have their own generations, like families. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families or ideas, and in the long run, you not only find out about the world and the people in it but also you find out about yourself, too.
Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you read books somebody tells you “you ought” to read, you probably won’t have fun. But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax yourself with it, you will almost certainly have a good time and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won’t have suffered during the process.

Heidi
By Johanna Spyri
The novel explores themes (主题) of nature,friendship and kindness. Heidi is a little Swiss girl, whose honesty influences those around her. She goes to live with her grandfather in the Alps. She quickly learns to love her new life with him. But then Heidi must be sent away again to Frankfurt, to be the friend of Clara, a girl who is sick and cannot walk...
Chapter Five
Her first day in Frankfurt was a strange day for Heidi, but even stranger for Ms. Rottenmeier,the housekeeper.
At first Heidi couldn’t think where she was. When she woke up, jumped from the big white bed and ran to the window, she saw neither the snow on high mountains nor the little stream winding below. All she saw was brick walls and houses. There was no sound of the wind in the trees-only the sound of carriages (马车) rattling over the stone streets outside.
Heidi felt as though she had been locked up in a cage. But Ms. Rottenmeier felt that she was locked up with a strange, wild child. The child knew nothing of how to behave in a well—run house. She was late to meals. Her clothes were not correct. She made friends with the servants.
But Clara had become much more cheerful since Heidi’s arrival. She liked talking to Heidi about life in the mountains and about Heidi’s grandfather. For Clara the next few days were much less dull than usual.
Heidi was less happy. Tomorrow, she kept thinking, I really must go home. But one thing pleased her. Every day she took more rolls from the table and hid them in her room. She was saving them for Granny.Granny’s teeth were no longer able to chew the hard, black bread which was all she had, and Heidi planned to take back to her the lovely soft rolls as a present.
At last, one day, she started for home. But at the door she met Ms. Rottenmeier.“Where are you going I have strictly forbidden (禁止) you to go outside by yourself!” Ms.Rottenmeier said.
“I’m only going home,” said Heidi. “I’ve been away too long. My goats must be missing me and...”
“My goodness!” exclaimed Ms. Rottenmeier. “The child is mad!” And then she ordered the servant to lock Heidi up her room.

An Unusual Garden
The old 1986 truck was a gift from his grandfather. It worked, but it used a lot of gas. Ian Cheney looked at his grandfather’s truck and thought of a farm. As in other large cities, there is not much space to grow food in New York. Yet Cheney wanted a vegetable garden. Many farmers in New York have found creative ways to grow vegetables, such as rooftop gardens, community gardens in old parking lots, and even a floating garden in the Hudson River. Cheney, however, didn’t have access to any of these spaces. So the old truck was a practical solution. The back of the truck provided him with the space he needed.
So Cheney set to work. First, he drilled holes in the truck bed—allowing water to pass through. Then he laid down a recycled plastic mat. The soil came next—a special lightweight variety. He made sure that everything was organic. Cheney preferred organic because he wanted to grow vegetables without chemicals. Then he planted lettuce, herbs, spinach, and tomatoes. Finally, he watered and waited.
When the food was ready to pick, Cheney drove the truck from one urban neighborhood to another. He gave away some of the vegetables. He sold the rest to friends and neighbors. Everywhere he parked, passersby stopped and talked about the beautiful vegetable garden in the back of the truck.
Cheney strongly believes that people are better off eating more local food—that is, food grown close to where they live. Local food has both environmental and health advantages. It reduces “food miles”. The term food miles refers to the distance between where you produce food and where you sell it. A lot of the food in large supermarkets travels hundreds of miles to get to your dinner table. This has an economic and environmental cost. Then there is the question of nutrition—food that helps you grow and be healthy. The nutritional benefits of vegetables decrease over time. So eating food within a few days of harvesting is healthier for you.
Cheney knows that his truck farm cannot solve the problem of the lack of fresh food in some neighborhoods. Yet, like rooftop gardens, it could be part of the solution. As Cheney says, “If we can grow food in the back of an 1986 Dodge pickup, we can definitely find better ways to grow more fresh produce.”
