9、课，以此度过不一样的一天，结果因为她们对对方的课一无所知，两人都度过了劳累的一天。这个故事告诉我们：无需做别人，只需做自己。1B细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“ Lily put on Lucys ballet dress while Lucy put Lilys brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes.”可知，她们要互换身份一天。2A推理判断题。根据第三段前两句“When the art lesson started, Lucy couldnt understand the art teacher.
10、Unlike Lily, Lucy was poor at drawing.”可推测，Lucy听不懂美术课，因此她会感到迷茫。3B代词指代题。根据画线单词前一句“As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly.”可知，Lily不会跳芭蕾舞，她只能盲目地跟着其他同学跳，结果她一直撞到他们，因此此处的“them”指的是其他同学。4C细节理解题。根据第四段中老师说的话“Lucy, you should remember the basic steps. You cant depend
11、 on copying what others are doing.”可知，芭蕾舞老师变得没耐心是因为她认为“Lucy”那天的表现很糟糕。5D主旨大意题。通读全文可知本文主要讲述了一对双胞胎想过一个不一样的周六，因此想出了要互换身份的主意，但是两个人一天下来都很累。故事告诉我们每个个体都是独一无二的，人与人之间无法复刻。 Day 2(2021湖北武汉改编)When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard(
12、果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill.

The only reason I ever came
14、back to my hometown was my grandmother.One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didnt have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived
15、 home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project(水利工程) was completed, a policy(政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.Thank those good men who have devoted_themselves_to the dev

20、ort of water there.”可知，最困扰村民的问题是缺水。2B推理判断题。根据第二段中的“They are good men from our government”可推知，这些工作人员来提供帮助很可能是因为政府的支持。3C推理判断题。根据第四段中的“She told us that after the water conservation projectto increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.”可推测，这个村庄的水果产量会提高。4D词义猜测题。根据第二段和第四段的内容可知，政府工作人员得知村民果
21、园缺水后努力为他们解决问题，这说明他们为乡村的发展做出了很大努力，故“devoted themselves to”的意思同D项“做出很大努力”。5A标题选择题。本文主要介绍了作者的家乡是如何变得更好的，故A项最适合作为本文的标题。Day 3(2021河南改编)“I dont want to go, Miss White.
