Previous finalists have gone on to win Nobel Prizes, National Medals of Science and Fields Medals. Of over 1, 800 applicants in 2022, Victor Cai, from Parkland High School, was among the search’s top 40 finalists. Each finalist was awarded $25,000 and participated in a week-long competition in March. Top prizes ranged from $40, 000 to $250, 000. Cai was selected as a finalist for developing a short-range distance sensing radar (雷达) to help blind people get around in their homes. He was inspired to develop his project after his kung fu teacher of 11 years slowly lost his sight due to a rare eye disease. “I was eager to do something for him,” he said. The traditional radar device can interfere (干扰) with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, making such technology difficult to use in the home. Cai used a little-known radar concept (概念), officially called the Multiple Frequency Continuous Wave. His device is currently about one foot by one foot in height and width. Cai hopes to develop a smaller one that the user can wear around the house. “Science allows us to create new technologies and to use these technologies to develop ways to make people’s lives better,” he said. “For me, it’s really special to create something that hasn’t been possible before.” Cai felt excited about meeting his fellow finalists during the competition from March 9 to l6. “It’s nice to have different topics being researched by all the finalists and to know how they are improving our lives,” Cai said. “We all have the shared passion for using science to improve the world.” 24. What do we know about the Regeneron Science Talent Search from the passage? A. It takes place once every four years. B. Its top prize winner will be awarded $25,000. C. It aims to select promising scientists from teenagers. D. Over 1, 800 applicants participated in it in March, 2022. 25. Why did Cai desire to develop his project? A. To improve the world. B. To inspire more teenagers. C. To become one of the finalists. D. To make his teacher’s life easier. 26. What is special about Victor Cai’s device? A. It can be worn by its user. B. It can now be used in the home. C. It can interfere with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. D. It’s developed using a well-known concept. 27. Which of the following words can best describe Victor Cai? A. Honest and positive. B. Curious and energetic. C. Brave and open-minded. D. Creative and ambitious. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了Cai因开发一种短程距离感应雷达而入围美国历史最悠久数学和科学竞赛Regeneron Science Talent Search。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Each year, the nation’s oldest math and science competition, the Regeneron Science Talent Search, selects teenagers based on their achievements, as well as their potential to become world-changing scientists and leaders.(每年，美国历史最悠久的数学和科学竞赛——再生元科学人才选拔赛都会根据青少年的成就以及他们成为改变世界的科学家和领导者的潜力进行选拔。)”可知，Regeneron科学人才选拔赛旨在从青少年中选拔有前途的科学家。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Cai was selected as a finalist for developing a short-range distance sensing radar ( 雷达) to help blind people get around in their homes. He was inspired to develop his project after his kung fu teacher of 11 years slowly lost his sight due to a rare eye disease. “I was eager to do something for him,” he said.(蔡因开发一种短程距离感应雷达而入围决赛，该雷达旨在帮助盲人在家中走动。他的一位功夫师傅因罕见的眼疾逐渐失明，他因此萌生了开发该项目的想法。“我渴望为他做点什么，”他说。)”可知，蔡发展他的项目是为了让他的老师的生活更轻松。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Cai was selected as a finalist for developing a short-range distance sensing radar (雷达) to help blind people get around in their homes.(蔡先生因开发一种短程距离传感雷达（雷达）而入围决赛，该雷达旨在帮助盲人在家中走动)”和倒数第三段中“The traditional radar device can interfere (干扰) with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, making such technology difficult to use in the home. Cai used a little-known radar concept ( 概念), officially called the Multiple Frequency Continuous Wave. His device is currently about one foot by one foot in height and width. (传统的雷达设备会干扰 Wi-Fi 和蓝牙，因此很难在家中使用这种技术。蔡使用了一种鲜为人知的雷达概念，正式名称为多频连续波。他的设备目前长宽约为一英尺乘一英尺。)”可推知，蔡发明的设备的特殊之处在于它现在可以在家里使用，故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Cai was selected as a finalist for developing a short-range distance sensing radar (雷达) to help blind people get around in their homes.(蔡先生因开发一种短程距离传感雷达（雷达）而入围决赛，该雷达旨在帮助盲人在家中走动)”可推知，他很有创造力，根据最后一段中Cai所说的话“We all have the shared passion for using science to improve the world(我们都有共同的热情，希望利用科学改善世界)”可推知，他很有雄心，故选D。 C Dogs and humans clearly have a special bond. But do dogs, like humans, produce more tears at times when they are flooded with emotion? A new study, which may be the first to look at this question, says that, indeed, the eyes of dogs do well up with tears. In fact, it happens regularly when they’re reunited (团聚) with the owners. “We found that dogs produce tears associated with positive emotions,” says Takefumi Kikusui of Azabu University in Japan. “We also made the discovery of a chemical, oxytocin, as a possible mechanism (机制) behind it.” Kikusui and his colleagues made the discovery after one of his two dogs had babies 6 years ago. He noticed that, when his dog was nursing the babies, something changed in the dog’s face — there were tears. Those tears don’t fall as they often do in humans but they do get teary eyes. “That gave me the idea that oxytocin is likely to increase tears,” Kikusui says. They decided to run a reunification experiment and see if oxytocin brought dogs to tears. First, they used a standard test to measure dogs’ tear volume (量) before and after reuniting with their owners. They found that tear volume indeed ascended when they got back together with the familiar human and not with a person they didn’t know. When they added oxytocin to the dogs’ eyes, their tear volume also increased. That finding supports the idea that the release of oxytocin plays a role in tear production when dogs and their owners get back together. They also asked people to rate pictures of dogs’ faces with and without artificial tears in them, and it turned out that people gave more positive responses when they saw dogs with teary eyes. These findings suggest that dogs’ tear production helps to develop stronger connections between people and their dogs. Kikusui says they had never heard of the discovery that animals produce tears in joyful situations, such as reuniting with their owners, and that they were all excited that this would be a world first! 28. What’s the author’s purpose in raising the question in the first paragraph? A. To compare different ideas. B. To express his personal doubt. C To lead in the topic for discussion. D. To introduce the rich emotions of dogs. 29. What made Kikusui think oxytocin might increase tears? A. A lesson at university. B. An experience of his own. C. The interaction with a dog. D. A reminder from his colleagues. 30. The underlined word “ascended” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”. A. remained unchanged B. rose C. became zero D. decreased 31. In Kikusui’s opinion, the experiment’s findings ________. A. came as a big surprise B. required further evidence C. were within their expectation D. were contrary to previous ones 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家发现狗会像人类一样在情感激动时流泪并且狗的眼泪分泌有助于在人和狗之间建立更牢固的联系。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A new study, which may be the first to look at this question, says that, indeed, the eyes of dogs do well up with tears. In fact, it happens regularly when they’re reunited (团聚) with the owners.”（一项可能是第一次研究这个问题的新研究表明，事实上，狗的眼睛会流泪。事实上，当它们与主人团聚时，这种情况经常发生。）可知，作者在第一段提出问题的目的是为了引出谈论的话题——狗会像人类一样在情感激动时流眼泪。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“He noticed that, when his dog was nursing the babies, something changed in the dog’s face — there were tears.”（他注意到，当他的狗在哺乳婴儿时，狗的脸上发生了一些变化——有泪水。）及““That gave me the idea that oxytocin is likely to increase tears,” Kikusui says.”（Kikusui说：“这让我想到催产素可能会增加眼泪。”。）可知，Kikusui根据自己的一次经历，让他认为催产素会增加眼泪。故选B项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段划线词语后“When they added oxytocin to the dogs’ eyes, their tear volume also increased.”（他们发现，当他们给狗的眼睛添加催产素时，它们的眼泪量也增加了。）可知，前后句为排比句，根据also可知，前后句所发生的情况一致，既当狗狗与熟悉的人而不是不认识的人在一起时，眼泪的量确实也在上升，推断出ascended意为“上升，增加”和B项“上升”意思相近。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Kikusui says they had never heard of the discovery that animals produce tears in joyful situations, such as reuniting with their owners, and that they were all excited that this would be a world first!”（Kikusui说，他们从未听说过动物在快乐的情况下会流泪，比如与主人团聚，他们都很兴奋这将是世界上第一次！）可知，Kikusui认为，实验的发现是人们从未听说过的，说明这个结果会让人大吃一惊。故选A项。 D I am a big laugher. I’ve been told that even in a room of a thousand people, you can always hear me laughing over the crowd. For me, laughter is the ultimate form of embodied joy. And by “embodied”, I mean that my whole body is involved when I laugh. On the inside, it’s like a bubbling fountain of joy spilling out all over the place. But what is joy, anyway? Life can be terrible, but if you decide to follow the sound of the joy-fountain, you will find joy showing up in all kinds of places: pets playfully bouncing around, kindness, or even in nothingness. How can joy be found? A friend moved into a new apartment and needed some help, so I helped him. Afterwards, he was obviously so much happier and at case. I noticed that playing even a small part in his happiness brought me great joy, and I took a moment to let this feeling of embodied joy in. We can practice letting joy in by noticing how it feels to smile. Where does your body light up when you smile? When I smile, it makes me want to take a deep breath, and I notice my shoulders and belly relaxing. When I embody caring and loving, it feels great! Sadly, many of us are unaware of joy, or suspicious of it. Maybe you arc afraid to open up to joy, or maybe you are so unfamiliar with what joy feels like that you ignore or resist it when it comes knocking. No one, other than you, owns your happiness, but you might unknowingly block feelings or experiences that help you embody joy. The fact is that when you can’t embody joy, you miss out on one of life’s essential vitamins. Want more joy? Don’t be afraid to look silly. Silliness helps us take things less personally. It helps us see the world the way a kid does. When we can find more joy in the smalls of everyday life, we can embody happiness, rather than just pursuing it. 32. How is the topic of joy introduced at the beginning of the passage? A. By highlighting a joyful experience. B. By stressing the importance of laughing. C. By presenting an ultimate form of satisfaction. D By sharing the author’s understanding of joy. 33. What might be the author’s advice on finding joy? A. Taking a deep breath. B. Smiling to your friends. C. Doing small acts of kindness. D. Reflecting on nothingness. 34. What might be the reason for many of us missing joy? A. That many of us refuse it on purpose. B. That many of us are insensitive to joy. C. That many of us lack life’s essential vitamins. D. That many of us are likely to take joy for granted. 35. What is the best title of the text? A. Life is the creation of joy B. A happy man always laughs last C. People are always unaware of joy D. Happy people are happy in childhood 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文主要讲述了作者对于笑声和快乐的理解，认为笑声是最终的快乐体现形式，快乐可以在各种地方被发现，而且我们可以通过帮助他人或者注意自己的微笑来体验快乐。作者呼吁我们不要害怕表现得愚蠢，因为愚蠢可以帮助我们更好地感受生活中的小事情，从而体验到更多的快乐。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I am a big laugher. I’ve been told that even in a room of a thousand people, you can always hear me laughing over the crowd. For me, laughter is the ultimate form of embodied joy. And by “embodied”, I mean that my whole body is involved when I laugh. On the inside, it’s like a bubbling fountain of joy spilling out all over the place.(我是一个爱大笑的人。有人告诉我，即使在一间有一千个人的房间里，你也总能听到我的笑声盖过人群。对我来说，笑是具体化快乐的终极形式。我说的“具体化”是指当我笑的时候，我的整个身体都参与其中。在内心深处，它就像一个快乐的喷泉，到处都是。)”可推知，文章开始通过分享作者对快乐的理解，将快乐的话题引入。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“A friend moved into a new apartment and needed some help, so I helped him. Afterwards, he was obviously so much happier and at ease. I noticed that playing even a small part in his happiness brought me great joy, and I took a moment to let this feeling of embodied joy in.( 一个朋友搬进了新公寓，需要一些帮助，所以我帮助了他。之后，他显然开心多了，也轻松多了。我注意到，即使在他的幸福中扮演一个很小的角色，也会给我带来巨大的快乐，我花了一点时间让这种快乐的感觉融入其中。)”和“When I smile, it makes me want to take a deep breath, and I notice my shoulders and belly relaxing. When I embody caring and loving, it feels great!(当我微笑的时候，它让我想深呼吸，我注意到我的肩膀和腹部放松了。当我表现出关心和爱的时候，感觉很棒！)”可推知，作者通过自己帮助朋友的经历建议我们通过做一些小小的善举来发现快乐。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Sadly, many of us are unaware of joy, or suspicious of it. Maybe you are afraid to open up to joy, or maybe you are so unfamiliar with what joy feels like that you ignore or resist it when it comes knocking.(可悲的是，我们中的许多人都没有意识到快乐，或者对它持怀疑态度。也许你害怕向快乐敞开心扉，或者也许你对快乐的感觉如此陌生，以至于当它来敲门时，你忽略或抵制它。)”可推知，我们中的许多人对快乐不敏感，这可能是我们许多人错过快乐的原因。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Want more joy? Don’t be afraid to look silly. Silliness helps us take things less personally. It helps us see the world the way a kid does. When we can find more joy in the smalls of everyday life, we can embody happiness, rather than just pursuing it.(想要更多快乐？不要害怕看起来很傻。愚蠢可以帮助我们不那么个人化。它帮助我们用孩子的方式看世界。当我们能在日常生活的小事中找到更多的快乐时，我们就能体现幸福，而不仅仅是追求幸福。)”可推知，文章主要讲述了作者对于笑声和快乐的理解，认为笑声是最终的快乐体现形式，快乐可以在生活中发现，可以通过帮助他人体验快乐，生活是快乐的创造物，因此推断A项“生活是快乐的创造物”故选A。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You might be willing to help others who are going through a hard time.

He envied his best friend Eric over his new fancy bicycle. One day, Tommy gathered the courage to demand the bicycle. His parents refused him. But his dad, Peter Wilkinson, made a suggestion: “You can get the bike if you save up for it.” Without a second thought, Tommy decided to set aside money from his allowance (零花钱) every day to raise the amount he needed: $600. Every day, the little boy made sure he placed some money into his piggy bank. After almost two years, the day finally arrived. “Finally!” Tommy joyfully shouted as he dropped the piggy bank to the floor. Inside was $830! More than the $600 he was aiming for! Instantly, the excited boy asked his dad to take him to the bike store. On their way to the store, Tommy accompanied his dad to the supermarket to buy some groceries. They were lining up at the checkout when Tommy noticed an old woman with a little girt in a wheelchair. The old lady dropped her groceries on the road. She looked helpless, and since she was holding the little girl’s wheelchair, she couldn’t pick them up. Tommy quickly approached the woman. “Hey, let me help you. Where is your car?” he asked the woman whose name was Barbara. The woman told him that they lived across the street and didn’t have a car. “I’ll carry them for you,” Tommy said. On the way, the woman’s granddaughter, Chloe, told Tommy their story. It turned out Chloe injured her leg in a car crash, and her parents died in it. Barbara had to sell her car to pay for Chloe’s surgery and wheelchair. Their story moved Tommy. After arriving at Barbara’s house, Tommy made an unbelievable offer. “I’ll get you a car!” he shouted with joy. “Not a new one, though. My dad sells used cars and I’ll get you one!” Tommy’s offer really shocked Barbara. “But I don’t think I can afford a car now,” she said. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 “Don’t worry! My dad will help you get one.

My dad will help you get one. I promise!” Tommy said firmly. The boy immediately rushed back to talk to his dad about it. “Well, it’s hard to buy a car if she has no money,” Peter said. Tommy felt disheartened because he had promised Barbara he would get her a car. Then Peter came up with another suggestion. “Maybe I can help her with a monthly payment plan, so she won’t have to pay the whole amount at once. But still, it won’t be easy for her.” Without hesitation, Tommy said, “I can help her with my＄830!” Peter was surprised that Tommy would offer to give all his savings to help Barbara. “Are you sure?” Peter asked. “Yes! She needs a car more than I need a bike, Dad.” Tommy said. Peter was deeply touched by his son’s kindness and agreed. Soon, he helped Barbara get a used car. Tommy was truly happy, and he stopped complaining about the things he didn’t have. Instead, he felt grateful for the good health and love he was blessed with. He realized that the goodness around him was priceless and that money was nothing compared to it. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，本文讲述了7岁的汤米想要一辆新自行车，他决定从零用钱中攒出一笔钱买自行车，终于，他攒够了钱，高兴地和爸爸一起去自行车店。路上，他遇到一位老妇人和一个坐在轮椅上的小女孩，小女孩在一次车祸中伤了腿，她的父母也因此丧生，因为家里没有车，小女孩的出行很不方便。看到这一切，汤米决定帮助她们买一辆车。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘别担心！我爸爸会帮你买的。我保证！’汤米坚定地说。”可知，第一段可描写汤米和爸爸想出了什么方法帮助她们买车。 ②由第二段首句内容“彼得很惊讶汤米会拿出所有积蓄来帮助芭芭拉。”可知，第二段可描写父子二人帮助芭芭拉的过程及这件事带给汤米的感悟。 2.续写线索：商量如何买车——汤米决定拿出零用钱——父亲感到惊讶——买车成功——汤米的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.提出：come up with/put forward ②.感动：touch/move ③.意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①.失望的：disheartened/disappointed ②.高兴的：happy/glad 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Each year, the nation’s oldest math and science competition, the Regeneron Science Talent Search, selects teenagers based on their achievements, as well as their potential to become world-changing scientists and leaders. Previous finalists have gone on to win Nobel Prizes, National Medals of Science and Fields Medals. Of over 1, 800 applicants in 2022, Victor Cai, from Parkland High School, was among the search’s top 40 finalists. Each finalist was awarded $25,000 and participated in a week-long competition in March. Top prizes ranged from $40, 000 to $250, 000. Cai was selected as a finalist for developing a short-range distance sensing radar (雷达) to help blind people get around in their homes. He was inspired to develop his project after his kung fu teacher of 11 years slowly lost his sight due to a rare eye disease. “I was eager to do something for him,” he said. The traditional radar device can interfere (干扰) with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, making such technology difficult to use in the home. Cai used a little-known radar concept (概念), officially called the Multiple Frequency Continuous Wave. His device is currently about one foot by one foot in height and width. Cai hopes to develop a smaller one that the user can wear around the house. “Science allows us to create new technologies and to use these technologies to develop ways to make people’s lives better,” he said. “For me, it’s really special to create something that hasn’t been possible before.” Cai felt excited about meeting his fellow finalists during the competition from March 9 to l6. “It’s nice to have different topics being researched by all the finalists and to know how they are improving our lives,” Cai said. “We all have the shared passion for using science to improve the world.” 24. What do we know about the Regeneron Science Talent Search from the passage? A. It takes place once every four years. B. Its top prize winner will be awarded $25,000. C. It aims to select promising scientists from teenagers. D. Over 1, 800 applicants participated in it in March, 2022. 25. Why did Cai desire to develop his project? A. To improve the world. B. To inspire more teenagers. C. To become one of the finalists. D. To make his teacher’s life easier. 26. What is special about Victor Cai’s device? A. It can be worn by its user. B. It can now be used in the home. C. It can interfere with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. D. It’s developed using a well-known concept. 27. Which of the following words can best describe Victor Cai? A. Honest and positive. B. Curious and energetic. C. Brave and open-minded. D. Creative and ambitious. C Dogs and humans clearly have a special bond. But do dogs, like humans, produce more tears at times when they are flooded with emotion? A new study, which may be the first to look at this question, says that, indeed, the eyes of dogs do well up with tears. In fact, it happens regularly when they’re reunited (团聚) with the owners. “We found that dogs produce tears associated with positive emotions,” says Takefumi Kikusui of Azabu University in Japan. “We also made the discovery of a chemical, oxytocin, as a possible mechanism (机制) behind it.” Kikusui and his colleagues made the discovery after one of his two dogs had babies 6 years ago. He noticed that, when his dog was nursing the babies, something changed in the dog’s face — there were tears. Those tears don’t fall as they often do in humans but they do get teary eyes. “That gave me the idea that oxytocin is likely to increase tears,” Kikusui says. They decided to run a reunification experiment and see if oxytocin brought dogs to tears. First, they used a standard test to measure dogs’ tear volume (量) before and after reuniting with their owners. They found that tear volume indeed ascended when they got back together with the familiar human and not with a person they didn’t know. When they added oxytocin to the dogs’ eyes, their tear volume also increased. That finding supports the idea that the release of oxytocin plays a role in tear production when dogs and their owners get back together. They also asked people to rate pictures of dogs’ faces with and without artificial tears in them, and it turned out that people gave more positive responses when they saw dogs with teary eyes. These findings suggest that dogs’ tear production helps to develop stronger connections between people and their dogs. Kikusui says they had never heard of the discovery that animals produce tears in joyful situations, such as reuniting with their owners, and that they were all excited that this would be a world first! 28. What’s the author’s purpose in raising the question in the first paragraph? A. To compare different ideas. B. To express his personal doubt. C. To lead in the topic for discussion. D. To introduce the rich emotions of dogs. 29. What made Kikusui think oxytocin might increase tears? A. A lesson at university. B. An experience of his own. C. The interaction with a dog. D. A reminder from his colleagues. 30. The underlined word “ascended” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”. A. remained unchanged B. rose C. became zero D. decreased 31. In Kikusui’s opinion, the experiment’s findings ________. A. came as a big surprise B. required further evidence C. were within their expectation D. were contrary to previous ones D I am a big laugher. I’ve been told that even in a room of a thousand people, you can always hear me laughing over the crowd. For me, laughter is the ultimate form of embodied joy. And by “embodied”, I mean that my whole body is involved when I laugh. On the inside, it’s like a bubbling fountain of joy spilling out all over the place. But what is joy, anyway? Life can be terrible, but if you decide to follow the sound of the joy-fountain, you will find joy showing up in all kinds of places: pets playfully bouncing around, kindness, or even in nothingness. How can joy be found? A friend moved into a new apartment and needed some help, so I helped him. Afterwards, he was obviously so much happier and at case. I noticed that playing even a small part in his happiness brought me great joy, and I took a moment to let this feeling of embodied joy in. We can practice letting joy in by noticing how it feels to smile. Where does your body light up when you smile? When I smile, it makes me want to take a deep breath, and I notice my shoulders and belly relaxing. When I embody caring and loving, it feels great! Sadly, many of us are unaware of joy, or suspicious of it. Maybe you arc afraid to open up to joy, or maybe you are so unfamiliar with what joy feels like that you ignore or resist it when it comes knocking. No one, other than you, owns your happiness, but you might unknowingly block feelings or experiences that help you embody joy. The fact is that when you can’t embody joy, you miss out on one of life’s essential vitamins. Want more joy? Don’t be afraid to look silly. Silliness helps us take things less personally. It helps us see the world the way a kid does. When we can find more joy in the smalls of everyday life, we can embody happiness, rather than just pursuing it. 32. How is the topic of joy introduced at the beginning of the passage? A. By highlighting a joyful experience. B. By stressing the importance of laughing. C. By presenting an ultimate form of satisfaction. D. By sharing the author’s understanding of joy. 33. What might be the author’s advice on finding joy? A. Taking a deep breath. B. Smiling to your friends. C. Doing small acts of kindness. D. Reflecting on nothingness. 34. What might be the reason for many of us missing joy? A. That many of us refuse it on purpose. B That many of us are insensitive to joy. C. That many of us lack life’s essential vitamins. D. That many of us are likely to take joy for granted. 35. What is the best title of the text? A. Life is the creation of joy B. A happy man always laughs last C. People are always unaware of joy D. Happy people are happy in childhood 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You might be willing to help others who are going through a hard time.

He envied his best friend Eric over his new fancy bicycle. One day, Tommy gathered the courage to demand the bicycle. His parents refused him. But his dad, Peter Wilkinson, made a suggestion: “You can get the bike if you save up for it.” Without a second thought, Tommy decided to set aside money from his allowance (零花钱) every day to raise the amount he needed: $600. Every day, the little boy made sure he placed some money into his piggy bank. After almost two years, the day finally arrived. “Finally!” Tommy joyfully shouted as he dropped the piggy bank to the floor. Inside was $830! More than the $600 he was aiming for! Instantly, the excited boy asked his dad to take him to the bike store. On their way to the store, Tommy accompanied his dad to the supermarket to buy some groceries. They were lining up at the checkout when Tommy noticed an old woman with a little girt in a wheelchair. The old lady dropped her groceries on the road. She looked helpless, and since she was holding the little girl’s wheelchair, she couldn’t pick them up. Tommy quickly approached the woman. “Hey, let me help you. Where is your car?” he asked the woman whose name was Barbara. The woman told him that they lived across the street and didn’t have a car. “I’ll carry them for you,” Tommy said. On the way, the woman’s granddaughter, Chloe, told Tommy their story. It turned out Chloe injured her leg in a car crash, and her parents died in it. Barbara had to sell her car to pay for Chloe’s surgery and wheelchair. Their story moved Tommy. After arriving at Barbara’s house, Tommy made an unbelievable offer. “I’ll get you a car!” he shouted with joy. “Not a new one, though. My dad sells used cars and I’ll get you one!” Tommy’s offer really shocked Barbara. “But I don’t think I can afford a car now,” she said. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 “Don’t worry!
