The bus was full of the sounds of laughing and yelling fifth graders. They were on their way to the zoo for a class trip. Mario was excited to see the zoo, but there was one problem. It was ten o’clock in the morning, but his stomach was already grumbling (咕咕叫). He reached down and grabbed his lunch bag. Opening it, he saw that it contained a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, an orange, and two cookies. Mario sighed. He always had peanut butter and jelly.
“Trade you lunches,” he said to the boy seated next to him on the bus.
“Okay,” said Mark as he handed his brown bag to Mario.
Mario opened it and was hit with the smell of tuna. Mario wrinkled his nose and quickly closed the bag. He leaned forward and tapped the shoulder of the girl in front of him. “Swap lunches, Toni?” he asked.
“Hmm, okay,” said Toni.
Mario smiled. This was fun. But when he looked into the bag, he frowned. What a disappointment! A ham sandwich, but no cookies! He had to have cookies.
Mario turned in his seat. “Want to trade lunches?” he asked Juana.
“Definitely!” said Juana. She grabbed his lunch and tossed hers onto his lap.
He opened the lunch bag. Pizza! He reached into the bag to grab it. Oh, no! The pizza was hard. He could hit a home run with pizza that hard.
Mario twisted in his seat. One last try, he told himself. “Hey, Mona! Trade lunches?”
Three rows behind him, Mona seemed hesitant: Finally, she nodded. She passed her lunch forward, and he passed his back.
Mario took a deep breath and opened the bag. It was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, an orange, and two cookies. The sandwich was a little squashed (挤压), and one of the cookies was broken.
Mario ate it anyway. And it was delicious.
4. Why did Mario trade lunches so many times?
A. Each lunch he received was dissatisfying.

C
My granddad often helped me make a tool to catch fish when I was young and we would spend hours along a river. It was lovely for both of us then. Many more of today’s grandparents have a growing sense of adventure. And a trend is catching on: skip-gen travel — grandparents taking fun-filled vacations with grand kids without their parents along.
A survey found that 83% of grandparents put travel with their grand kids as the number one thing when they retire. Skip-gen travel gets popular for good reason. Kids have their lives enriched and learn outside classrooms. This is also a time of talking and sharing ideas.
“How grandparents talk to children is different from how parents talk to them. Actually, I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children,” Annie Collins, a travel architect and also part of the trend, says. “Kids away from their parents are more open to ideas and willing to express themselves. It’s not just kids gaining from traveling. Who gets the most out of this? You might think it’s them but it’s us.” According to a study by the Cleveland Clinic, grandparents who help watch and spend time with grand kids may actually live longer than their peers(同龄人).
It’s also important to recognize that grandparents often have more time to travel. Unlike their children, who may still be in the pursuit of a personal career that offers limited time off, grandparents are often retired and likely have a different viewpoint on life, prioritizing experiences and family. So knowing the kids are in great hands, moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves — some much-needed leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries.
However, skip-gen travel is not for every grandparent. After all, grandparents are worn out with years and not so energetic. They surely treasure the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren, but it’s wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves, for the travel should be a win for everyone involved.
8. Why does the author mention fishing experiences with his granddad?
A. To lead in the trend of skip-gen travel. B. To share the pleasure in going fishing.
C. To stress the importance of family ties. D. To show the growing interest in adventure.
9. Which of the following may Annie Collins agree?
A. Many parents are too strict with children.
B. Grandparents benefit more from skip-gen travel.
C. Spending time with grandparents is better for kids.
D. Children become mature when away from parents.
10. What do we know about the parents whose kids are on skip-gen travel?
A. They enjoy the moment to relax. B. They feel less anxious and stressed.
C. They miss their kids very much. D. They look forward to their own trip.
11. What does the author suggest grandparents do?
A. Get kids involved in travel planning. B. Strengthen the bond with grandchildren.
C. Reduce skip-gen travel appropriately. D. Make decisions in both sides’ interests.
D
ChatGPT, designed by OpenAI to carry on conversations just like humans, has become a viral excitement. The AI-powered tool went from zero to a million users in just five days! Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies.
The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the internet and archived books. It is further trained by humans. This makes ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic.
“We have a lot of information on the internet, but you normally have to Google it, then read it and then do something with it,” says Ricardo, chief science officer and co-founder of AI company Erudit. “Now you’ll have this resource that can process the whole internet and all of the information it contains for you to answer your question.”
ChatGPT cannot think on its own. It depends on the information that it has been trained on. As a result; the AI tool works well for things that have accurate data available. However, when unsure, ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses. OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds. Also, ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021. Hence, it cannot be relied upon for anything that happened after that.
Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems. It can translate long texts into different languages, create content on almost any topic, and even summarize books.
However, ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators. Some believe it could serve as a valuable tool to help build literacy skills in the classroom. It could also be used to teach students difficult science or math concepts. But other educators think ChatGPT will encourage students to cheat. They fear this will prevent them from building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As a result, many districts are starting to ban its use in schools.
12. What is the unique feature of ChatGPT?
A. It has artificial intelligence. B. It can engage in meaningful conversations.
C. It has the largest number of users. D. It can answer users' questions.
13. What makes ChatGPT helpful to research various topics?
A. Its accurate information. B. Its capability of information processing.
C. Its vast body of questions. D. Its availability of up-to-date data.
14. Why do ChatGPT users have to be cautious when using it?
A ChatGPT is unable to think itself. B. ChatGPT lacks creativity.
C. ChatGPT offers illogical information. D. ChatGPT is not properly trained.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards ChatGPT?
A. Supportive. B. Disapproving. C. Indifferent. D. Objective.

How to Appear Outgoing in a Conversation?
Some people seem naturally outgoing when chatting with others, while others find it hard to make it. Here are some tips to help you appear outgoing in a conversation.
Make eye contact. If you’re in a social situation, such as at a party, try to make eye contact with the other people there. Once you’ve established eye contact, give the other person a friendly smile ___16___ If the person does not respond or does not expect to be approached, let them go their way. Part of being outgoing is knowing when and where to approach others and when to keep to yourself.
Ask some open-ended questions. ___17___ It’s easier to start up a chat with someone new if you invite them to share about themselves.

What is your favorite thing to do around here?
___18___ You might see some of the same people every day, but never acknowledge (致意) them. To become outgoing, it is important to start acknowledging the people around you more often. The next time you order a coffee or check out at the grocery store, smile at the person helping you and say “thank you”. This small act will help you become more comfortable interacting with others. ___19___
Talk to everyone. After you become a bit more comfortable talking to people you know, try talking to new people as you go through your day. ___20___ But the more you approach people and get comfortable with making conversation, the easier it will become.
A. These questions invite others to respond with more than a “yes” or “no”.
B. If the person smiles back at you, then go over to them.

E. It will probably make the other person’s day a little brighter.

“Yes, it is going to be celebrated on June 19 this year. Yesterday my friend and I were talking about it.” Mano replied.
“Do you have any idea how we should celebrate this day and make it memorable for Dad?” Ali asked.
“Hmm... I was thinking about it too and have some ideas.” Mano answered excitedly. “What are you kids talking about?” their mum asked, entering their room.
“Mum, we were wondering about how to celebrate Father’s Day.” Mano said.
“Oh, I am surprised you kids remembered! Well, I am thinking of cooking some favorite dishes for your father. You both should think of ways to decorate the house beautifully.”Mum said.
“That would be great!”said Mano and Ali together. Both of them got up smiling, thinking of hundreds of ways to celebrate Father’s Day. Mum went to the kitchen, and Mano and Ali started doing their homework. But soon Ali noticed Mano deep in thought so he asked what the matter was. “Ali, I was thinking that our parents do everything for us and in return they want nothing. Isn’t it bad that we never think about them and are always concerned about our needs?” Mano replied. “Sometimes we are so busy with our lives that we don’t pay proper attention to our parents. We should listen to whatever they say properly and answer them. We must also study hard to get good grades.” Ali nodded.
The next day, all three of them, Mano, Ali and their mum, got busy preparing their surprise celebration for Father’s Day. Mano drew a family picture with her crayons, Ali bought balloons and candles and began writing a poem which he planned to sing that day. In short, a lot of things were being planned and prepared.

The bus was full of the sounds of laughing and yelling fifth graders. They were on their way to the zoo for a class trip. Mario was excited to see the zoo, but there was one problem. It was ten o’clock in the morning, but his stomach was already grumbling (咕咕叫). He reached down and grabbed his lunch bag. Opening it, he saw that it contained a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, an orange, and two cookies. Mario sighed. He always had peanut butter and jelly.
“Trade you lunches,” he said to the boy seated next to him on the bus.
“Okay,” said Mark as he handed his brown bag to Mario.
Mario opened it and was hit with the smell of tuna. Mario wrinkled his nose and quickly closed the bag. He leaned forward and tapped the shoulder of the girl in front of him. “Swap lunches, Toni?” he asked.
“Hmm, okay,” said Toni.
Mario smiled. This was fun. But when he looked into the bag, he frowned. What a disappointment! A ham sandwich, but no cookies! He had to have cookies.
Mario turned in his seat. “Want to trade lunches?” he asked Juana.
“Definitely!” said Juana. She grabbed his lunch and tossed hers onto his lap.
He opened the lunch bag. Pizza! He reached into the bag to grab it. Oh, no! The pizza was hard. He could hit a home run with pizza that hard.
Mario twisted in his seat. One last try, he told himself. “Hey, Mona! Trade lunches?”
Three rows behind him, Mona seemed hesitant: Finally, she nodded. She passed her lunch forward, and he passed his back.
Mario took a deep breath and opened the bag. It was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, an orange, and two cookies. The sandwich was a little squashed (挤压), and one of the cookies was broken.
Mario ate it anyway. And it was delicious.
4. Why did Mario trade lunches so many times?
A. Each lunch he received was dissatisfying.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了马里奥对自己的午餐不满意,于是和同学进行交换后依然感到不满,最后还是吃了自己的午餐的故事,这个故事告诉我们应该对于自己所拥有的事物感到满足。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Mario sighed. He always had peanut butter and jelly.”(马里奥叹了口气。他总是吃花生酱和果冻。)、第四段“Mario wrinkled his nose and quickly closed the bag.”(马里奥皱了皱鼻子,迅速合上袋子。)、第六段“What a disappointment! A ham sandwich, but no cookies!”(真令人失望!火腿三明治,但没有饼干!)及第九段“ Oh, no! The pizza was hard.”(哦,不!披萨很硬。)可知,起初马里奥因为不喜欢自己的食物,所以和同学进行了交换,但是交换后,因为马里奥对换回来的食物感到不满,所以他会多次和别人再次进行午餐交换。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第九段划线句子前“Oh, no! The pizza was hard. He could hit a home run with pizza that hard.”(哦,不!披萨很硬。),可知,马里奥认为用那么硬的披萨可以打出一个本垒打,根据常识可知,打棒球需要用到棒球棒,推断出作者把很硬的披萨比喻成棒球棒。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mario ate it anyway. And it was delicious.”(马里奥还是吃了。而且非常美味。)可知,最后马里奥换回了自己的午餐而且感觉它们很美味,通过这件事作者想要告诉我们应该满足于我们所拥有的。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段““Trade you lunches,” he said to the boy seated next to him on the bus.”(“用午餐换你的,”他对坐在他旁边的男孩说。)、第四段““Swap lunches, Toni?” he asked.”(“交换午餐,托尼?”他问道。)、第七段““Want to trade lunches?” he asked Juana.”(“想交换午餐吗?”他问胡安娜。)及第十段““Hey, Mona! Trade lunches?””(“嘿,莫娜!交换午餐?”)可知,本文讲述了马里奥多次交换午餐后最终还是觉得自己的午餐最好的故事,所以C项“午餐交易”是对本文内容的概括总结,符合题意。故选C项。
C
My granddad often helped me make a tool to catch fish when I was young and we would spend hours along a river. It was lovely for both of us then. Many more of today’s grandparents have a growing sense of adventure. And a trend is catching on: skip-gen travel — grandparents taking fun-filled vacations with grand kids without their parents along.
A survey found that 83% of grandparents put travel with their grand kids as the number one thing when they retire. Skip-gen travel gets popular for good reason. Kids have their lives enriched and learn outside classrooms. This is also a time of talking and sharing ideas.
“How grandparents talk to children is different from how parents talk to them. Actually, I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children,” Annie Collins, a travel architect and also part of the trend, says. “Kids away from their parents are more open to ideas and willing to express themselves. It’s not just kids gaining from traveling. Who gets the most out of this? You might think it’s them but it’s us.” According to a study by the Cleveland Clinic, grandparents who help watch and spend time with grand kids may actually live longer than their peers(同龄人).
It’s also important to recognize that grandparents often have more time to travel. Unlike their children, who may still be in the pursuit of a personal career that offers limited time off, grandparents are often retired and likely have a different viewpoint on life, prioritizing experiences and family. So knowing the kids are in great hands, moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves — some much-needed leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries.
However, skip-gen travel is not for every grandparent. After all, grandparents are worn out with years and not so energetic. They surely treasure the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren, but it’s wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves, for the travel should be a win for everyone involved.
8 Why does the author mention fishing experiences with his granddad?
A. To lead in the trend of skip-gen travel. B. To share the pleasure in going fishing.
C. To stress the importance of family ties. D. To show the growing interest in adventure.
9. Which of the following may Annie Collins agree?
A. Many parents are too strict with children.
B. Grandparents benefit more from skip-gen travel.
C. Spending time with grandparents is better for kids.
D. Children become mature when away from parents.
10. What do we know about the parents whose kids are on skip-gen travel?
A. They enjoy the moment to relax. B. They feel less anxious and stressed.
C. They miss their kids very much. D. They look forward to their own trip.
11. What does the author suggest grandparents do?
A. Get kids involved in travel planning. B. Strengthen the bond with grandchildren.
C. Reduce skip-gen travel appropriately. D. Make decisions in both sides’ interests.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。随着越来越多祖父母冒险意识的增强,跨代旅游开始流行起来。研究发现,跨代旅游对祖父母、父母以及孩子均大有裨益。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“My granddad often helped me make a tool to catch fish when I was young and we would spend hours along a river. It was lovely for both of us then. Many more of today's grandparents have a growing sense of adventure. And a trend is catching on: skip-gen travel(我小的时候,爷爷经常帮我做一个捕鱼的工具,我们会在河边呆上几个小时。那时候对我们俩来说都很美好。如今,越来越多的祖父母有了一种越来越强烈的冒险意识。一种趋势正在兴起:跨代旅行)”可知,作者提到自己小时候与爷爷一起抓鱼的经历是为了引出如今祖父母辈与孙辈之间新的相处模式,即跨代旅游。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Actually, I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children(事实上,我觉得我和我的孙辈比我和我自己的孩子更平等)”以及“It’s not just kids gaining from traveling.Who gets the most out of this? You might think it's them but it's us(这不仅仅是孩子们从旅行中获得的。谁能从中获益最多?你可能认为是他们,但其实是我们)”可以推断出,身为祖母和跨代旅游的实践者,Annie Collins认为祖父母辈从跨代旅游中受益更多。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“So knowing the kids are in great hands, moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves- some much-needed leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries(所以知道孩子们被照顾得很好,父母们就会有一些属于他们自己的时间——一些他们急需的闲暇时间来休息和充电)”可知,当孩子与祖父母外出旅游时,父母也能拥有自己的休闲时间,用来放松和休整。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“They surely treasure the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren, but it's wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves, for the travel should be a win for everyone involved(他们肯定会珍惜这个与孙辈建立亲密关系的机会,但当只有年轻人可以享受时,明智的做法是说不,因为这趟旅行对参与其中的每个人都应该是一个胜利)”可知,作者认为跨代旅游应该是一件双赢的事,只有对祖父母和孩子都有利时才应进行,由此可知,作者建议祖父母做有利于双方利益的决定。故选D。

ChatGPT, designed by OpenAI to carry on conversations just like humans, has become a viral excitement. The AI-powered tool went from zero to a million users in just five days! Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies.
The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the internet and archived books. It is further trained by humans. This makes ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic.
“We have a lot of information on the internet, but you normally have to Google it, then read it and then do something with it,” says Ricardo, chief science officer and co-founder of AI company Erudit. “Now you’ll have this resource that can process the whole internet and all of the information it contains for you to answer your question.”
ChatGPT cannot think on its own. It depends on the information that it has been trained on. As a result; the AI tool works well for things that have accurate data available. However, when unsure, ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses. OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds. Also, ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021. Hence, it cannot be relied upon for anything that happened after that.
Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems. It can translate long texts into different languages, create content on almost any topic, and even summarize books.
However, ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators. Some believe it could serve as a valuable tool to help build literacy skills in the classroom. It could also be used to teach students difficult science or math concepts. But other educators think ChatGPT will encourage students to cheat. They fear this will prevent them from building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As a result, many districts are starting to ban its use in schools.
12. What is the unique feature of ChatGPT?
A. It has artificial intelligence. B. It can engage in meaningful conversations.
C. It has the largest number of users. D. It can answer users' questions.
13. What makes ChatGPT helpful to research various topics?
A. Its accurate information. B. Its capability of information processing.
C. Its vast body of questions. D. Its availability of up-to-date data.
14. Why do ChatGPT users have to be cautious when using it?
A. ChatGPT is unable to think itself. B. ChatGPT lacks creativity.
C. ChatGPT offers illogical information. D. ChatGPT is not properly trained.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards ChatGPT?
A. Supportive. B. Disapproving. C. Indifferent. D. Objective.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能ChatGPT,介绍了其特点、存在的问题以及人们对ChatGPT的看法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Its ability to provide in- depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies.(它为用户问题提供深入答案的能力甚至引起了著名科技公司的注意)”以及第二段中“The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense.(智能机器人理解用户所说或输入的内容,然后以合理的方式做出回应)”可知,ChatGPT的独特之处是它可以参与有意义的对话。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the internet and archived books. It is further trained by humans. This makes ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic.(智能机器人理解用户所说或输入的内容,然后以合理的方式做出回应。其庞大的知识体系是从互联网和存档书籍中收集来的。它被人类进一步训练。这使得ChatGPT成为研究几乎任何主题的有用工具)”可知,信息处理能力使ChatGPT有助于研究各种主题。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, when unsure, ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses. OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds.(然而,当不确定时,ChatGPT可以变得有创意并流出错误的响应。OpenAI提醒用户,无论这些信息听起来多么合乎逻辑,都要检查)”可知,ChatGPT可能会提供不合逻辑的信息,所以用户要谨慎,故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“ChatGPT cannot think on its own.(ChatGPT不能独立思考)”;第五段“Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems.(专家认为ChatGPT在解决现实问题方面具有无限潜力)”以及最后一段“However, ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators. (然而,教育工作者对ChatGPT的反应不一)”可推知,作者主要列举了其他人对ChatGPT的看法,没有提到自己对ChatGPT的态度,故对ChatGPT是客观态度。故选D。

How to Appear Outgoing in a Conversation?
Some people seem naturally outgoing when chatting with others, while others find it hard to make it. Here are some tips to help you appear outgoing in a conversation.
Make eye contact. If you’re in a social situation, such as at a party, try to make eye contact with the other people there. Once you’ve established eye contact, give the other person a friendly smile ___16___ If the person does not respond or does not expect to be approached, let them go their way. Part of being outgoing is knowing when and where to approach others and when to keep to yourself.
Ask some open-ended questions. ___17___ It’s easier to start up a chat with someone new if you invite them to share about themselves. If you’ve already exchanged eye contact and smiles with someone, and you’re close by, start off with a question. Here are some ideas: How do you like that book or magazine? What is your favorite thing to do around here?
___18___ You might see some of the same people every day, but never acknowledge (致意) them. To become outgoing, it is important to start acknowledging the people around you more often. The next time you order a coffee or check out at the grocery store, smile at the person helping you and say “thank you”. This small act will help you become more comfortable interacting with others. ___19___
Talk to everyone. After you become a bit more comfortable talking to people you know, try talking to new people as you go through your day. ___20___ But the more you approach people and get comfortable with making conversation, the easier it will become.
A. These questions invite others to respond with more than a “yes” or “no”.
B. If the person smiles back at you, then go over to them.
C. Remember that they serve hundreds of people a day.
D. Say thank you in public as much as possible.
E. It will probably make the other person’s day a little brighter.
F. Keep in mind that this approach doesn’t always work well in some situations.
G. At first, you might feel uncomfortable talking with strangers.
【答案】16. B 17. A 18. D 19. E 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了帮助你在谈话中显得外向的四种方法。
【16题详解】
上文“Once you’ve established eye contact, give the other person a friendly smile.(一旦你们建立了眼神交流,给对方一个友好的微笑。)”提到了给对方一个友好的微笑,B项中的smiles back是关键词,与上文的a friendly smile呼应,同时与下文“If the person does not respond or does not expect to be approached, let them go their way.(如果这个人没有回应或者不希望被接近,就让他们走自己的路吧。)”构成对比关系,所以B选项“If the person smiles back at you, then go over to them.(如果那个人回你一个微笑,那就走过去。)”符合语境。故选B。
【17题详解】
上文“Ask some open-ended questions.(问一些开放式的问题。)”提到了问问题,A项中questions是关键词,与上文呼应,进一步阐述开放式问题,所以A选项“These questions invite others to respond with more than a “yes” or “no”.(这些问题要求别人的回答不仅仅是‘是’或‘不是’)。”符合语境。故选A。
【18题详解】
下文“You might see some of the same people every day, but never acknowledge (致意) them.(你可能每天都见到同样的一些人,但从不向他们致意。)”和“The next time you order a coffee or check out at the grocery store, smile at the person helping you and say ‘thank you’.(下次你点咖啡或在杂货店结账时,微笑着对帮助你的人说‘谢谢’。)”提到了向周边的人致意和表达感谢,D项中thank you是关键词,与下文的acknowledge和thank you呼应,所以D选项“Say thank you in public as much as possible.(尽可能在公共场合说谢谢。)”能概括下文内容,符合语境。故选D。
【19题详解】
上文“This small act will help you become more comfortable interacting with others.(这个小小的举动将帮助你在与他人交往时变得更加自如。)”提到了向身边的人表达感谢的益处,E项中It是关键词,指代上文的This small act,所以E选项“It will probably make the other person’s day a little brighter.(这可能会让对方的一天变得更美好。)”承接上文,符合语境。故选E。
【20题详解】
上文“After you become a bit more comfortable talking to people you know, try talking to new people as you go through your day.(当你和你认识的人交谈变得更加自如之后,在你的一天中试着和新的人交谈。)”提到了尝试去和新人交谈,空处和下文“But the more you approach people and get comfortable with making conversation, the easier it will become.(但是,你接触的人越多,越能自如地交谈,就会变得越容易。)”是转折关系,故空处是说一开始和陌生人交谈不太自如的情况,G项中strangers是关键词,与上文new people呼应,所以G选项“At first, you might feel uncomfortable talking with strangers.(一开始,你可能会觉得和陌生人说话不舒服。)”承接上文,符合语境。故选G。

“Yes, it is going to be celebrated on June 19 this year. Yesterday my friend and I were talking about it.” Mano replied.
“Do you have any idea how we should celebrate this day and make it memorable for Dad?” Ali asked.
“Hmm... I was thinking about it too and have some ideas.” Mano answered excitedly. “What are you kids talking about?” their mum asked, entering their room.
“Mum, we were wondering about how to celebrate Father’s Day.” Mano said.
“Oh, I am surprised you kids remembered! Well, I am thinking of cooking some favorite dishes for your father. You both should think of ways to decorate the house beautifully.”Mum said.
“That would be great!”said Mano and Ali together. Both of them got up smiling, thinking of hundreds of ways to celebrate Father’s Day. Mum went to the kitchen, and Mano and Ali started doing their homework. But soon Ali noticed Mano deep in thought so he asked what the matter was. “Ali, I was thinking that our parents do everything for us and in return they want nothing. Isn’t it bad that we never think about them and are always concerned about our needs?” Mano replied. “Sometimes we are so busy with our lives that we don’t pay proper attention to our parents. We should listen to whatever they say properly and answer them. We must also study hard to get good grades.” Ali nodded.
The next day, all three of them, Mano, Ali and their mum, got busy preparing their surprise celebration for Father’s Day.

They were about to practice singing the poem when the delicious smell came from the kitchen. Surely it was Mom that prepared the big meal. French toast and chicken porridge, both of which were father’s favorite dishes, were ready. Eventually, everything was settled. Ali and Mano stood beside the door, waiting for their father eagerly. Then Dad came in.
Ali and Mano cried out together, “Happy Father’s Day!” Hearing the words, so glad was Dad that his face lit up. “We have a surprise for you!” added Ali, pointing at the decorations. When he saw the dinner, his eyes widened and twinkled with excitement. He couldn’t help tasting a bit of chick soup, explaining that it was the best dish he had ever had. Mom smiled heartily and exchanged a gentle glance with Ali and Mano. What a beautiful and sweet surprise! The room was filled with happiness.
