从腼腆女孩到流行歌星
1.为了这个月的《青年世界》杂志，我采访了19岁的亚洲流行歌星王坎迪。坎迪告诉我她过去真的很害羞，开始唱歌是为了克服她的羞怯。随着情况的好转，她敢在全班面前唱歌了，后来敢为全校的人唱歌。现在她再也不害羞了，并且喜欢当众唱歌。
2.我问坎迪在她成名后生活有怎样的不同。她解释说有很多好事，比如总是能旅行和结识新朋友。“过去我在学校里不受欢迎，但是现在无论我到哪里，总是被人关注。”然而，太多的关注也可能是件坏事。“我总是得担心自己在别人眼中的形象，而且对自己的言行也必须非常谨慎。我再也没有很多的私人时间了。现在与朋友们外出对我来说几乎不再可能，因为老有保安守在我的周围。”
3.坎迪必须向所有那些想成名的年轻人说些什么呢？“嗯，”她缓缓道来，“你必须准备好放弃正常的生活。你永远无法想象成功之路有多难。许多次我都想放弃，但我奋力坚持了下来。你真的需要很多天赋和努力才能成功。只有极少数的人能成功登顶。”

Ⅵ.阅读理解(2024·广西中考改编)
Betty lived in a small town. Beautiful flowers were seen everywhere in the town. Because of the shyness， Betty just stood with few words in public. The shy girl hardly talked to people in social activities. She was often considered as a quiet girl in the community. She felt like a wallflower and wondered if she would go unnoticed all the time.
However， her closest friend， Fiona， was completely different. Fiona loved to communicate with others and she encouraged Betty to change. She told Betty that life wasn’t always as beautiful as roses and that everyone was able to make it full of roses.
With the encouragement of Fiona， Betty began to change. Instead of being a wallflower， she started attending a community theater class. She took an active part in acting in the theater group. Her gift for acting began to shine. However， new difficulties were never far away. One of Betty’s classmates became a thorn(刺) in her side. The classmate was not satisfied with her achievements， but Betty continued to deal with the situation. She managed to show herself and became friends with the classmate. All the changes made her feel fresh every day.
Betty’s hard work paid off when the town’s famous director， Mr.Johnson， watched one of her plays. He liked her acting so much that he offered her the lead role in his new play. Betty’s moment arrived. People were happy to watch her show.
Finally， Betty became a confident(自信的) girl. Her change was like a beautiful rose in full flower. She encountered many difficulties which taught her that there’s no rose without a thorn. But those thorns helped her develop her abilities. Betty proved that personal changes were possible for anyone.

他比以前学习更努力了
李文是一个来自农村的普通15岁男孩。他学习很努力，在学校表现良好。很难相信，他过去在学校常常遇到困难。在他很小的时候，他很少惹麻烦，并且他们一家人在一起度过了很多时光。然而，情况在几年前开始发生变化。他的父母到城市去找工作，他的祖父母来照顾他。但是他非常想念他的父母，他经常感到孤独和不快乐。
李文的不快乐开始影响他的学习。他对学习的兴趣降低了。有时他会旷课并且考试不及格。最后，李文的父母决定把他送到一所寄宿学校。但是，李文很腼腆，不能在学校里很快交到朋友。他发现那里的生活很难。有一天，他告诉老师他想退学。他的老师很担心他，就给他的父母打了电话。她建议他们亲自与他们的儿子谈谈。因此，他的父母坐了24个小时的火车和5个小时的公共汽车赶到了李文的学校。
他们进行了一次长谈。“这正是我所需要的，”他说。“现在我明白了即使他们很忙，他们也一直在想着我。他们为我所做的每一件好事感到骄傲。”
在那次谈话之后，李文的父母与儿子的交流比过去多了。现在李文真的变了。他在学校变得更开朗，交了一些好朋友。他甚至加入了学校的篮球队，积极参加许多其他活动。“我现在更快乐，我比以前学习更努力了。我知道我的父母爱我，他们一直为我感到骄傲，”李文说，“父母陪伴在他们的孩子身边至关重要。”

Ⅳ.阅读表达(2024·滨州中考)
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
From September to February each year， Dazhong Mountain in Chuxiong， Yunnan is home to more than 50，000，000 migratory birds(候鸟). People used to call the mountain Daqueshan， which means bird hunting mountain.
The villagers used to hunt birds on the mountain. Then one year， they couldn’t hear birds singing. People started to worry if migratory birds would return again. In 1984， the Hongtupo Forest Police Station was set up. The officers worked on the mountain， trying to find migratory birds and stop people from hunting them. The job was really difficult. They might lose their way or meet dangerous animals.
The officers also tried to tell villagers the importance of protecting birds and other wild animals. They visited the villagers door to door and helped them with farm work. They even organized activities in schools to get their messages across to children. Now， even children know that birds are to be loved.
The mountain is greener， the water is clearer， and more and more animals come to live here. It has become a bird protecting mountain. Many people have opened bed and breakfasts(民宿) for birdwatchers.
“The village has changed a lot， and we don’t hunt birds anymore，” people say. Since people have stopped hunting， the police station now mainly works to save injured(受伤的) wildlife.
1.How many migratory birds live on Dazhong Mountain from September to February？

2.What did the villagers on Dazhong Mountain use to do？

3.What danger might the officers face on the mountain？

4.Do the villagers know that birds are to be loved now？

5.What is the theme of this passage？

More than 50，000，000.
They used to hunt birds on Dazhong Mountain.
They might lose their way or meet dangerous animals.
Yes， they do.
Environmental protection.

How I’ve Changed！
My life has changed a lot in the last few years.
I used to be short， but now I’m one of the tallest students in my class. I used to be shy and quiet， but now I’m outgoing and I like to make friends. I used to hate reading， but now I have fallen in love with it.
The most important change in my life is that I become interested in reading. Last summer my best friend gave me an interesting book to read. I enjoyed it so much that I started to read other books. It is the most important change because reading gives me a lot of knowledge and makes me very happy. Just as the famous saying goes，“Reading makes a full man.”

We are growing up day by day. So， what exactly is growth？



One possible version：
We are growing up day by day. So， what exactly is growth？ For me， growth is a journey. Growth brings both challenges and gains. I have learned a lot from the experiences on my growth journey， especially from one unforgettable event.
Last year， I took part in the school speech competition. In the beginning， I was nervous because I had never done this before. However， I encouraged myself to try my best. During the preparation， I practiced hard and asked my teacher for advice to improve my speech. When the competition finally came， I stood on the stage and presented my speech confidently. To my surprise， I won the second prize. This experience taught me that hard work and perseverance paid off.
Growth is not about being perfect， but about facing challenges and challenging difficulties bravely. As the saying goes， “Where there is a will， there is a way.”
