Starting in 2015, he and his friends spent two years on an adventure in South America, covering 7,800 miles. He was even named Adventure of the Year by a famous geography magazine in 2018. Although Jerry had achieved great success, he didn’t feel fulfilled. He asked himself, “Is it enough to climb the highest mountains? Am I doing something helpful? How can I turn my adventures into something that can help the world?” Jerry learned that scientists need plans, rocks and water samples (样本) from the places far away to do research. But scientists can’t get there themselves as such places are hard to reach—only the bravest adventurers can make it. Jerry thought himself could do something to help. He then came up with an idea. He set up a team of top adventures to collect samples for scientists. By studying the samples, scientists could know more about the earth and find ways to protect it. Recently Jerry and his adventurer friends have discovered a special plant life of Mountain Qomolangma. The samples they brought back have helped scientists how plants live in extreme (极端的) condition. For Jerry, this kind of adventure is most satisfying. “Such adventures had made us see life in a different way. Now, being the best climber isn’t important for me. What matters is doing something helpful while climbing the mountains. There is still much more we can do,” Jerry said to a newspaper. 43. What does the underline word “fulfilled” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Satisfied B. Lonely C. Nervous D. Relaxed 44. Why did Jerry set a team of top adventures? A. To make friends. B. To help scientists. C. To study plants. D. To develop skills. 45 Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Dangerous Mountains Climbing. B. Important Scientific Discoveries. C. Plants Found on High Mountains. D. Adventures Turned into Something Greater. D A smile shows that a person is happy. For example, a person may smile when he or she is happy with a grade on a test. Or a person might smile if a friend told a funny joke. People smile for many different reasons. But smiles are more than just a way for people to show that they are happy. There are other good reasons to smile often. First, it is easier to smile than to show unhappiness. In fact, it only takes 17 muscles (肌肉) to smile. On the other hand, it takes 43 muscles to show unhappiness. So give the muscles in your face a rest and smile! Second, smiles are nice. People may try to look nice on the outside by exercising or wearing nice clothes. However, there is a famous saying: a smile is the best thing a person can wear. That is because it is easy to be around someone who is smiling and happy. Almost no one wants to be around someone who is unhappy all the time. Third, smiles are helpful. Both smiling and laughing can quickly spread from one person to another. If one person smiles, people around him or her want to smile, too. Similarly, when a person laughs, people tend to laugh with them. If a person is sad, the best thing to do is to share a smile or laugh. It is the easiest and cheapest way to cheer someone up. Finally, smiling and laughing are very good for the body. Even if you are mad or sad, try smiling. You’ll find that it will be hard to stay mad or sad for very long. 46 In what situation does a smile show that a person is happy? A. When he makes 43 muscles on the face work together. B. When he is happy with the grades on the tests. C. When his friend tells him a scary story. D. When someone around him is sad. 47. Which of the following is mentioned as a reason to smile? A. It is polite. B. It is quiet. C. It is free. D. It is easy. 48 Which of the following sentences is TRUE? A. It takes fewer muscles to smile than to show unhappiness. B. No one wants to be around the people who are happy. C. If a person is sad, the best thing to do is to have a rest. D. If you are angry or sad, you’d better not smile. 49. Which of the following best shows the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. E About one year ago, my grandfather was ill. His illness influenced (影响) his legs, which made it difficult for him to walk. Then my family started looking for nursing homes. It took us two weeks before making a decision. Unluckily, he had to stay there until he improved. Then I knew the care and service old people needed and how important it was to volunteer at a nursing home. I did volunteer work at my grandfather’s nursing home last summer. I volunteered two days a week during the summer. I learned many things about nursing homes, including the old people’s life, the care they received and the environment around them. I worked with Dr. Smith, the one who planned activities for the old. I read their children’s letters to them. Besides, I helped them on special days like Ice Cream Day, Summer Picnic Day and Clown Around Day. I also took the old people for walks. We also had birthday parties for them. I had many good experiences both volunteering and visiting my grandfather. My volunteering experience showed that I could bring joy to old people. Everyone will have to face their parents and grandparents growing older. 50. The writer’s family spent ________ looking for nursing homes before making a decision.

A. who sent the writer’s grandfather to the nursing home B. when the writer’s grandfather was ill C. where the writer’s grandfather’s nursing home was D. why the writer wanted to be a volunteer 53. Which is the best title for the passage? A. A Good Nursing Home B. My Volunteer Experience C. A Terrible Illness D. My Big Family F When my daughter was in primary school, she brought home four small twigs (树枝) one day. Her teacher gave these twigs to the students to grow. My husband and I grew them outside our house with my daughter. However, three of them died. Only one still grew but it didn’t grow very tall. A few years later, I saw the only twig started to die. The lower branches (树枝) became poor. Only the top was still green. I did my best to save it, but it didn’t work. Later one morning, I went out and looked at it again. I wondered if it would be better to just cut it down. However, I saw something moving on the branches. It was a robin (知更鸟) building its home there! I was surprised when I looked at it. I thought maybe this tree was still useful. It might not be healthy or beautiful, but it still gave a bird a home. It made me know that nothing is meaningless. It doesn’t matter if we are young or old. Until we die, we still have things to do, love to give, and joy to share. 54. What happened to the only twig a few years later? (不超过 10个词) ______________________________________________ 55. How did the writer feel when she saw the robin? (不超过5个词) ______________________________________________ 56. What can we do until we die?
