When I was a little girl, I spent memorable holidays with my grandmother, who lived in a small village. She was a farmer with a stooped (弯曲的) back that made it seem like she was always leaning forward to examine something. Early in the morning, she would tie a cloth around her waist and set out to the farm. I would skip breathlessly alongside, trying to keep up. On our way, she would greet everyone we passed.
There was the standard greeting, “Did you wake up on the right foot this morning?” Then, the more personalized greetings. To Patriarch Kosi who sat under the mango tree, she would ask, “Are the grandchildren in good health?” To the Bean Stew Seller who was preparing to serve breakfast, she would inquire, “Are your boys well?”
Sometimes, the greetings were spoken soothingly (安慰地). When we walked past the widow, Dada Mawusi, many months after her husband’s death, Grandmother would say directly, “How is your grieving?” She didn’t like to beat around the bush. The greeting made more sense to her to acknowledge the woman’s suffering, and in doing so, empathize (理解) with her.
The people that Grandmother greeted would respond similarly. “I see you have your granddaughter with you today. How is her father?” or “I see you have woken up before the cock’s crow today. May it be a fruitful day at the farm.” As a young girl, I thought these greetings were unnecessarily time-consuming. What I now realize is that the greetings increased a sense of belonging. My grandmother taught me that there is always time to greet someone before getting down to business. You can always take a few extra seconds to say a greeting to a person. We enrich our society when we acknowledge the unique presence of one another.

Dr. Witt is the medical director for the newborn intensive care unit (重症监护室) at Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital. It was 2 a. m. on October 9th,2017, and Dr. Scott Witt was at home with his family when he received a call from the hospital telling him that they were going to evacuate (疏散) the patients because a deadly wildfire was spreading.
Witt sent his wife and four children to safety at a nearby church but decided to head for the hospital since he needed to make sure his patents were safe. “The only way I could get there was to get on my motorcycle,” said Witt because the parts of the roads were impassable to big vehicles.“I had to skirt around (绕开) where the fire had spread to,” he said.
“The intensive care unit already smelled with a lot of smoke when I arrived and I wanted to move everybody to a parking lot without any fire in it,” Witt said. With the hospital staff’s help, Witt managed to evacuate all eight preemie babies (早产儿) into an ambulance that rushed them to a nearby hospital.
Even though Witt had done more than enough, he decided to follow the ambulance to make sure the babies made it to the hospital. “At one point, there was some live wire on the freeway,” Witt said.
After seeing the babies to safety, Witt went back to check on his home, which had been burned to the ground. But Witt is grateful that his family was unharmed. “We didn’t have any injuries; we were just happy to be together.”
Now, Wit t is being hailed as a hero for his bravery, but he insists he just did what be felt was right. “I feel like these babies are like my own babies,” Witt said.“I just wanted to make sure I was there to help them,” he said.

In the 1950s, when I was young, I lived in Houston, Texas. As I grew up, the city grew up. To me, the most exciting changes were that one big building after another went up.
I think that’s what made me want to be an architect, and I wanted to take part in building one. In high school, I took a class called drafting(绘图). There I learned how to use many different tools to draw plans for building things. I was the only girl in the class, and others laughed at me. But I knew what I wanted to do, so I didn’t mind the jokes.
When I was 16, I found my first summer job with an engineering company. I worked in the drafting room with 60 men on one of the biggest engineering projects of our century—the Trans-Alaska Pipeline(管道). That pipeline now carries oil south across Alaska, from oil wells near the Arctic Ocean down to the Pacific. That summer I learned a lot about how a huge structure is designed and what it’s like to work in a team. One of my bosses from that summer said he knew that was the secret of my success.
The engineers liked my work so much that they asked me to come back. I worked there for the next five summers. During those years, I studied architecture at the University of Texas. I discovered that the best way to learn about architecture is to look at the world around me. To remember what I saw, I always carried a notebook with me so I could make quick drawings.
After I graduated from college, I made my dream come true.
46.What made the author want to be an architect? (no more than 5 words)
47.What did the author learn in her drafting class? (no more than 10 words)
48.Why did the author describe the Trans-Alaska Pipeline in detail in Para.3? (no more than 10 words)
49.What is the best way to learn about architecture according to the author? (no more than 15 words)

I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I always had ardour in reading, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old. It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
As I became a mother, the library took on an added meaning. I had several children and books were our main source of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them. It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books. Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation.
As a novelist, I've found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can't afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven (避风港) for readers and writers. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy (盗版行为) and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.
46.What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 probably mean? (1 word)
47.How did the author find her first job at the Ukiah Library?(no more than 5 words)
48.What's “the added meaning” of library for the author as a mother? (no more than 15 words)
49.How can writers support libraries according to the author?(no more than 25 words)
50.What do you think of a library? Give your reason.(no more than 25 words)

In my early 30s, I struggled to find a dream job. One of my friends reminded me that I’d always loved beauty, and suggested I apply for a licence, which would give me the freedom to set up my own business.
However, the only problem was that tuition fees were $6,000, which was out of my budget. I knew that my salary wouldn’t cover all the fees, even if I worked extra hours every day. I’d seen others set up crowd funding papers to help them achieve their goals. I thought I’d do the same. Then, on a Friday night, I received a large amount of money in my bank account, which made me really surprised. There had been some mistakes. I assumed it was an illegal trick.
It turned out to be a donation. The name on it is one I instantly recognized: Chrissy Teigen, my favorite TV host. She had left a note: “I’ve seen that this has been your dream for such a long time. I’m so happy to lend you a hand.” I called my mom immediately. I was crying and not making much sense. I just managed to say that Chrissy Telgen had made my dream come true.
The amount might have been a drop in the ocean for her, but it was life-changing for me. Lots of other people donated after her. Soon I paid all the fees for the course. I couldn’t have been happier. I’ve now set up my own business, and I always think about Chrissy’s generosity. I did thank her, and I still follow each other on Twitter. Hopefully, I will be able to give her a beauty treatment someday.
61.Why couldn’t the author set up her own business? (no more than 10 words)
62.What was the author’s first reaction to the donation in her bank account? (no more than15 words).

Dear Tom,
I’m writing to you from a small town in South America. I’m involved in a volunteer program here. At an orphanage I’m working with the children of all ages, from small babies of just a few months old, to older children up to the age of about 14. I play with the babies, feed them, bathe them, and generally take care of them. As to the older children I teach them colouring, painting and do art and craft activities with them.
One of the most rewarding things about this experience is being a small part of the children’s lives. I have had the most amazing experiences here, including helping one of the babies learn to walk. She was only crawling when I first arrived and now she can walk by herself. I will never forget the day when she called me “mama”. I was surprised because she was attached to me so quickly.
Every day is a new experience. Every day brings more smiles and teaches me so much about myself as well as the children. The children’s happy faces will stay with me forever.
I would describe my overall experience as absolutely amazing. I really love everything about the programme. It has given me the best experience that I can never get anywhere else. In two years time I hope to do another volunteer work at a center here for people who have HIV/AIDS. Together with other volunteers I hope to share our common love with them.
How are you getting on recently? Do you have any interest in doing some volunteer work? I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Joan

Everybody gets sad from time to time. If you want to know how to cheer someone up, here are some easy steps to help you.
Listen to them. Usually, sad people aren’t really looking for an answer. They just want to be heard and have a chance to express their feelings. Do you know why they’re sad? Pull up a chair, offer a smile, and give them a shoulder to cry on.
After listening, give them advice if they ask for it. After figuring out just what the problem is, tell them you have an idea to help them out. If you don’t, be honest to yourself and them. Take them to a person who has a better fix for the problem than you have.
Give them a gift. Can you remember a time when someone gave you a gift without a duty to do so? How did you feel inside when it happened? Giving a gift to someone can brighten their whole day.
Make them laugh. Jokes and funny stories are always good ice-breakers after you’ve talked about a problem for a long time. Don’t be afraid to make fun of yourself. Your friend will appreciate the humor.
Change their environment. More often than not, our surroundings determine our moods. If you need to get someone out of his sadness, get them out! Having a different set of environment will encourage new and better ways of thinking.

Are you aged between 14 and 19 years old? Do you care about your local environment? Would you like to help make the area you live in better, cleaner, safer and friendlier? If your answers are ‘yes’, ‘yes’ and ‘yes’, then read on! A local organization is carrying out a project, giving money to groups of teenagers who want to become active citizens. Here are a few easy things you could do to get started.
Meeting the neighbors. Everybody needs good neighbors. Knock on people’s doors and find out what they would like to improve in your area. Set a date for a meeting and then make some plans together. If you don’t want to go round to their houses, then you could always put a note through their doors.
Neighborhood watch. It is very popular in the UK. If you go away on holiday and leave your house, it’s very nice to know that a neighbor is keeping an eye on it. It’s a good way to make the area you live in safer.
Lending a hand. There are often elderly people living in the neighborhood who may not be able to do the things that you can. Offer to do their shopping once a week, look after their gardens for them or maybe walk their dogs!
No littering. Nobody likes picking up other people’s rubbish, but a clean street can make all the difference. Go out once or twice a week and see what you can find. You never know, one day you might find something valuable!
Just tell us what you want to do. Then we’ll send you more information.

Helen was five years old when she made the trip from her homeland to the United States of America with her mother, sister, and brother. Helen grew up hearing many terrible stories about people who were injured in the war. So as a child, Helen was eager to become a nurse to help those people. And indeed, she became one.
In early 1991, her operating room manager at the University of Virginia said, “Helen, I’d like you to take on a small project.” “Okay,” Helen agreed. “What’s up?” Her manager replied, “Our nineteen operating rooms here are generating too much medical waste. Clean stuff that haven’t been used. With your twenty years, working in the operating room, you have the knowledge and experience to figure out what to do with them all.”
So for a year, Helen collected clean medical supplies from all their operating rooms and donated them to missions (布道所). She researched the issue of medical waste. She was surprised to find that more than 2.4 million tons of hospital waste is generated in the USA annually, with the operating rooms being the largest waste generators. “This is valuable waste, which can be utilized again rather than just being thrown away,” she said.
Helen worked four ten-hour days in the operating room, and then spent countless hours networking with people on behalf of missions. Before she could say, “How did I get myself into this?” She had formed Medical Equipment Recovery of Clean Inventory (物品清单)(MERCI). For years, she sorted supplies after work, every day including weekends. Gradually MERCI had a steady stream of volunteers helping to sort, and the results were beyond their wildest imaginations. Since Helen started her “small project”, MERCI has sorted more than 350 tons of medical supplies valued at $75 million, which have been sent all over the world and helped many people.
And now, Helen still leads a very busy life, but she thinks what she has been doing is meaningful.

57. What small project did Helen’s operating room manager ask her to do? (no more than 5 words)

50.开放性问题。根据文章内容可知,医生斯科特·威特在2017年10月9日凌晨接到医院电话后,面对致命野火的威胁,他毅然决定前往医院确保他的病人安全,并成功地将八名早产儿转移到附近医院。由此可知,威特医生勇敢且有责任感觉。他拯救了八个婴儿的生命。我认为他是一个英雄。故答案为Dr. Witt is brave and responsible. He saved the lives of eight babies. I think he is a hero。

阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
In the 1950s, when I was young, I lived in Houston, Texas. As I grew up, the city grew up. To me, the most exciting changes were that one big building after another went up.
I think that’s what made me want to be an architect, and I wanted to take part in building one. In high school, I took a class called drafting(绘图). There I learned how to use many different tools to draw plans for building things. I was the only girl in the class, and others laughed at me. But I knew what I wanted to do, so I didn’t mind the jokes.
When I was 16, I found my first summer job with an engineering company. I worked in the drafting room with 60 men on one of the biggest engineering projects of our century—the Trans-Alaska Pipeline(管道). That pipeline now carries oil south across Alaska, from oil wells near the Arctic Ocean down to the Pacific. That summer I learned a lot about how a huge structure is designed and what it’s like to work in a team. One of my bosses from that summer said he knew that was the secret of my success.
The engineers liked my work so much that they asked me to come back. I worked there for the next five summers. During those years, I studied architecture at the University of Texas. I discovered that the best way to learn about architecture is to look at the world around me. To remember what I saw, I always carried a notebook with me so I could make quick drawings.
After I graduated from college, I made my dream come true.

46.Seeing big buildings being constructed. 47.Using different tools to draw plans for building things. 48.To show her working experience and the skills she gained.
49.By looking at the world around you and remembering what you see. 50.The author's determination and perseverance despite being laughed at and her success in a male-dominated field is inspiring.

阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I always had ardour in reading, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old. It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
As I became a mother, the library took on an added meaning. I had several children and books were our main source of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them. It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books. Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation.
As a novelist, I've found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can't afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven (避风港) for readers and writers. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy (盗版行为) and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.
46.What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 probably mean? (1 word)
47.How did the author find her first job at the Ukiah Library?(no more than 5 words)
48.What's “the added meaning” of library for the author as a mother? (no more than 15 words)
49.How can writers support libraries according to the author?(no more than 25 words)
50.What do you think of a library? Give your reason.(no more than 25 words)
46.Love./Passion./Enthusiasm. (Interest +1) 47.It was her dream job./She enjoyed the job./She thought it great (perfect...). 48.The excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation./The joy of reading passes on in the family.
As a mother, the library holds significance as a special bonding time with her children./It provided a special time for bonding with her children and filled them with wonderment of books.
【两个要点,写出一个即可】 49.By encouraging readers to use them, sharing library announcements on social media, and frequenting libraries and talking about them whenever possible.
【写全三个要点】 50.I think a library is a fantastic place, because I can enjoy reading quietly and gain knowledge in it.
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者是一个热情的读者,孩提时热衷读书,第一份工作在图书馆。有了孩子以后,一家人去图书馆读书,阅读的习惯代代传承下去。作为小说家,作者呼吁其他作家支持图书馆,宣传图书馆。

49.考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy (盗版行为) and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.(图书馆以自己的方式帮助打击盗版图书,我认为所有作家都应该在力所能及的情况下大力支持图书馆。鼓励读者使用图书馆。在你的社交媒体上分享图书馆的公告。经常这样做,并在你可以的时候谈论它们。)”可知,作家可以通过鼓励读者使用图书馆,在社交媒体上分享图书馆的公告,以及在可能的情况下经常光顾图书馆并谈论它们,故答案为By encouraging readers to use them, sharing library announcements on social media, and frequenting libraries and talking about them whenever possible。

In my early 30s, I struggled to find a dream job. One of my friends reminded me that I’d always loved beauty, and suggested I apply for a licence, which would give me the freedom to set up my own business.
However, the only problem was that tuition fees were $6,000, which was out of my budget. I knew that my salary wouldn’t cover all the fees, even if I worked extra hours every day. I’d seen others set up crowd funding papers to help them achieve their goals. I thought I’d do the same. Then, on a Friday night, I received a large amount of money in my bank account, which made me really surprised. There had been some mistakes. I assumed it was an illegal trick.
It turned out to be a donation. The name on it is one I instantly recognized: Chrissy Teigen, my favorite TV host. She had left a note: “I’ve seen that this has been your dream for such a long time. I’m so happy to lend you a hand.” I called my mom immediately. I was crying and not making much sense. I just managed to say that Chrissy Telgen had made my dream come true.
The amount might have been a drop in the ocean for her, but it was life-changing for me. Lots of other people donated after her. Soon I paid all the fees for the course. I couldn’t have been happier. I’ve now set up my own business, and I always think about Chrissy’s generosity. I did thank her, and I still follow each other on Twitter. Hopefully, I will be able to give her a beauty treatment someday.

Dear Tom,
I’m writing to you from a small town in South America. I’m involved in a volunteer program here. At an orphanage I’m working with the children of all ages, from small babies of just a few months old, to older children up to the age of about 14. I play with the babies, feed them, bathe them, and generally take care of them. As to the older children I teach them colouring, painting and do art and craft activities with them.
One of the most rewarding things about this experience is being a small part of the children’s lives. I have had the most amazing experiences here, including helping one of the babies learn to walk. She was only crawling when I first arrived and now she can walk by herself. I will never forget the day when she called me “mama”. I was surprised because she was attached to me so quickly.
Every day is a new experience. Every day brings more smiles and teaches me so much about myself as well as the children. The children’s happy faces will stay with me forever.
I would describe my overall experience as absolutely amazing. I really love everything about the programme. It has given me the best experience that I can never get anywhere else. In two years time I hope to do another volunteer work at a center here for people who have HIV/AIDS. Together with other volunteers I hope to share our common love with them.
How are you getting on recently? Do you have any interest in doing some volunteer work? I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Joan

Everybody gets sad from time to time. If you want to know how to cheer someone up, here are some easy steps to help you.
Listen to them. Usually, sad people aren’t really looking for an answer. They just want to be heard and have a chance to express their feelings. Do you know why they’re sad? Pull up a chair, offer a smile, and give them a shoulder to cry on.
After listening, give them advice if they ask for it. After figuring out just what the problem is, tell them you have an idea to help them out. If you don’t, be honest to yourself and them. Take them to a person who has a better fix for the problem than you have.
Give them a gift. Can you remember a time when someone gave you a gift without a duty to do so? How did you feel inside when it happened? Giving a gift to someone can brighten their whole day.
Make them laugh. Jokes and funny stories are always good ice-breakers after you’ve talked about a problem for a long time. Don’t be afraid to make fun of yourself. Your friend will appreciate the humor.
Change their environment. More often than not, our surroundings determine our moods. If you need to get someone out of his sadness, get them out! Having a different set of environment will encourage new and better ways of thinking.

Are you aged between 14 and 19 years old? Do you care about your local environment? Would you like to help make the area you live in better, cleaner, safer and friendlier? If your answers are ‘yes’, ‘yes’ and ‘yes’, then read on! A local organization is carrying out a project, giving money to groups of teenagers who want to become active citizens. Here are a few easy things you could do to get started.
Meeting the neighbors. Everybody needs good neighbors. Knock on people’s doors and find out what they would like to improve in your area. Set a date for a meeting and then make some plans together. If you don’t want to go round to their houses, then you could always put a note through their doors.
Neighborhood watch. It is very popular in the UK. If you go away on holiday and leave your house, it’s very nice to know that a neighbor is keeping an eye on it. It’s a good way to make the area you live in safer.
Lending a hand. There are often elderly people living in the neighborhood who may not be able to do the things that you can. Offer to do their shopping once a week, look after their gardens for them or maybe walk their dogs!
No littering. Nobody likes picking up other people’s rubbish, but a clean street can make all the difference. Go out once or twice a week and see what you can find. You never know, one day you might find something valuable!
Just tell us what you want to do. Then we’ll send you more information.

阅读下面短文,回答问题。
Helen was five years old when she made the trip from her homeland to the United States of America with her mother, sister, and brother. Helen grew up hearing many terrible stories about people who were injured in the war. So as a child, Helen was eager to become a nurse to help those people. And indeed, she became one.
In early 1991, her operating room manager at the University of Virginia said, “Helen, I’d like you to take on a small project.” “Okay,” Helen agreed. “What’s up?” Her manager replied, “Our nineteen operating rooms here are generating too much medical waste. Clean stuff that haven’t been used. With your twenty years, working in the operating room, you have the knowledge and experience to figure out what to do with them all.”
So for a year, Helen collected clean medical supplies from all their operating rooms and donated them to missions (布道所). She researched the issue of medical waste. She was surprised to find that more than 2.4 million tons of hospital waste is generated in the USA annually, with the operating rooms being the largest waste generators. “This is valuable waste, which can be utilized again rather than just being thrown away,” she said.
Helen worked four ten-hour days in the operating room, and then spent countless hours networking with people on behalf of missions. Before she could say, “How did I get myself into this?” She had formed Medical Equipment Recovery of Clean Inventory (物品清单)(MERCI). For years, she sorted supplies after work, every day including weekends. Gradually MERCI had a steady stream of volunteers helping to sort, and the results were beyond their wildest imaginations. Since Helen started her “small project”, MERCI has sorted more than 350 tons of medical supplies valued at $75 million, which have been sent all over the world and helped many people.
And now, Helen still leads a very busy life, but she thinks what she has been doing is meaningful.

【分析】本文为一篇记叙文。文章介绍海伦从小立志要做护士帮助别人,长大后参加了清理没有使用的东西的项目。然后,自己创办了MERCI,整理了医疗用品,帮助了很多人。
56.细节理解题。根据第一段的“Helen grew up hearing many terrible stories about people who were injured in the war. So as a child, Helen was eager to become a nurse to help those people.(海伦从小就听过很多关于战争中受伤的人的可怕故事,所以小时候,海伦渴望成为一名护士来帮助那些人)”可知,小海伦听过很多在战争中受伤的人的故事,因此她想做一名护士去帮助那些人。故填To help those people injured in the war.
57.细节理解题。根据第二段的“Clean stuff that haven’t been used.(清理没用过的东西)”可知,海伦参加的小项目是清理没有使用的东西。故填Clean stuff without being used.
58.词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“This is valuable waste, (这是很有价值的废物)”和“rather than just being thrown away.(而不是被扔掉)”可知,这些废物可以再次利用。由此可知,utilized与reused“再用,重复利用”意思接近。故填Reused.
59.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Since Helen started her “small project”, MERCI has sorted more than 350 tons of medical supplies valued at $75 million, which have been sent all over the world and helped many people.(自从海伦开始她的“小项目”以来,MERCI已经整理了350多吨价值7500万美元的医疗用品,这些物品已经被送到世界各地,帮助了很多人)”可知,MERCI已经整理了数百吨医疗用品,帮助了许多人。故填MERCI has sorted hundreds of tons of medical supplies, helping many people.
60.开放题。根据最后一段“And now, Helen still leads a very busy life, but she thinks what she has been doing is meaningful.(现在,海伦仍然过着非常忙碌的生活,但她认为她所做的是有意义的)”可知,帮助别人才是有意义的生活。故填By helping those in need.

阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
In the workplace, at home, in all areas of life, looking for a reason to laugh is necessary. A sense of humor helps us to get through the dull times, enjoy the good times.
Six-year-old Hannah encountered one of the most frightening times of her life when she discovered she had cancer. And if she were to give life a chance Hannah would have to put up with painful, almost endless medical treatments. At one point she lost all her hair. On days when she felt strong enough to get out, she often covered her head.
One day while shopping with her mother, Hannah donned a ball ca p with a small ponytail (马尾辫). Unless one looked closely, she looked as if she had a full head of hair. Before long Hannah noticed a small boy staring at her as if he were trying to figure out what was slightly off about the girl. She tried to ignore him, but he followed her around the store. Finally, she took off her ca p showing her shiny, hairless, head. In a firm voice she warned, “This is what happens when you don’t eat your vegetables!”
I don’t know what became of the boy. As for Hannah, her sense of humor helped get her through one of life’s hard times.
As entertainer Bob Hope once said, “I’ve seen what a good laugh can do. It can transform tears into hope.” And sometimes, a little more hope is all we need.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章通过患癌女孩汉娜的故事,来告诉我们应该要像汉娜一样用幽默感来度过生活中的难关。
51.考查细节理解。根据第二段中“And if she were to give life a chance Hannah would have to put up with painful, almost endless medical treatments.”(如果她要给生命一个机会,汉娜将不得不忍受痛苦,几乎无休止的药物治疗。)可知,如果汉娜得了癌症,她不得不忍受痛苦和没完没了的医疗治疗。故答案为She suffered painful and endless medical treatments.
52.考查细节理解。根据第二段中“At one point she lost all her hair. On days when she felt strong enough to get out, she often covered her head.”(她一度掉光了头发。在她觉得有力气出门的日子里,她经常用手捂着头。)可知,汉娜出门的时候要捂着头是因为她没有了头发。故答案为Because she had no hair.
53.考查词义猜测。根据划线单词句中“a ball ca p with a small ponytail (马尾辫).”(一顶扎着小马尾辫的球帽。)以及下文“Unless one looked closely, she looked as if she had a full head of hair.”(除非你仔细看,否则她看起来就像一头浓密的头发。)由此可知,此处为汉娜戴上了一顶扎着小马尾辫的球帽。故可猜测划线单词donned为“戴”的意思,和wore“戴”同义。故答案为wore。
54.考查推理判断。根据第三段中“In a firm voice she warned, “This is what happens when you don’t eat your vegetables!””(她用坚定的声音警告说:“这就是你不吃蔬菜的后果!”)可推知,男孩听到汉娜的话后可能会吃更多的蔬菜。故答案为The boy would probably eat more vegetables.
55.考查推理判断。根据第一段中“A sense of humor helps us to get through the dull times, enjoy the good times.”(幽默感帮助我们度过无聊的时光,享受美好的时光。)以及倒数第二段中“As for Hannah, her sense of humor helped get her through one of life’s hard times.”(至于汉娜,她的幽默感帮助她度过了人生中的一段艰难时期。)可推知,通过汉娜的故事,我们得知,我们应该有像她一样的幽默感来度过难关。故答案为We should have a sense of humor like her to get through the difficult times.
