《2026年通城学典全国中考试题分类精粹英语》

13—year—old Sarah sits in her yard, laying out her handmade crafts (手工制品) on the table. There are baskets, flowerpots, and cloth bags—all made of recycled materials. They are not just creative objects; they’re part of Sarah’s project to make a greener community.
Two years ago, Sarah would pass by a park near her house every day after school. Plastic bottles, empty cans, and broken toys littered the roadside. Seeing this, Sarah felt sad.
One afternoon, Sarah noticed some kids selling orange juice at the park. People stopped to buy it. That was when Sarah got an idea.
“Mom, what if we sell handmade crafts?” she asked excitedly that evening. “Then we can buy trees for our neighborhood with the money!”
With her mom’s help, Sarah started making crafts with great interest, using old boxes, plastic bottles and empty cans. Every day after school, she sat in her yard, waiting for customers. At first, no one came. Sarah felt down, but she didn’t give up.
Later, people began to stop by. A kind woman bought a cloth bag, saying it was perfect for shopping. Kids liked the flowerpots, and one boy even asked Sarah to make him a special basket for his toys. By the end of the first month, Sarah had made 150! She bought 30 small trees. Sarah and her parents planted the trees around the park and along the sidewalks.
Now, the neighborhood looks nicer, and the birds have more places to rest. Sarah even teaches her friends how to make eco—friendly (环保的) crafts after school. They organize sales every month to raise money for new projects like bird feeders.
This year, Sarah shared her story at a local community event. “Making a greener community is important,” she said proudly. “If everyone helps a little, we can make our life better.” She believes that no effort is too small when it comes to caring for the environment.

答案： 1.D 解析：细节理解题。根据“Mom，what if we sell handmade crafts?”可知，萨拉卖手工艺品来赚钱。
2.A 解析：细节理解题。根据“At first，no one came. Sarah felt down，but she didn’t give up. ”和“This year，Sarah shared her story at a local community event. ‘Making a greener community is important，’she said proudly.”可知，起初没有人来，萨拉感到很沮丧；后来骄傲地分享自己的故事。
［易错分析］
本题若对“情感与行动的对应性”把握不严，可能误选看似相关的 D(提到 recycling)，但忽略了 nervous 与原文情感不符，且“分享故事”才是更贴合的后续行动。
3.D 解析：推理判断题。根据“If everyone helps a little，we can make our life better. ”可知，如果每个人都尽自己的一份力，我们就能让生活变得更美好。选项D“小小的行动能产生影响。”与题意相符。
4.B 解析：推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，萨拉想到用废旧品制作手工艺品卖钱，说明她很有创意；她投身环保工作，说明她乐于助人。
5.C 解析：标题概括题。萨拉通过卖手工艺品来为社区购买小树苗，为鸟类提供更多的休息场所。选项C“一个女孩的绿色计划”是最佳标题。
